Have an iPhone X. Like the phone, the OLED screen is great and the lack of home button is super clean. Well worth it over the other iphones.
Will sit out the Xs though. Not enough changes to justify the additional cost.
Yep, if it still works, keep it.
I have an 8. It was great the first month, and now I'm having some glitches.
iOS 12 should have some stability and performance updates for the phones. Should be better after that.
Went ahead and put iOS 12 GM on my X, the wife's SE, and the MIL's 8. The increased performance is definitely noticeable!
Are there advantages of going through the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program?
I usually pay in full and get the unlocked phone. Once the time comes I sell the old one on eBay and get the new one.
I have 8 plus now. Not sure if I want the Xs max - Not a huge fan of the notch and the face ID.
Convenience. It's essentially the same as selling your current phone after a year and buying the latest one. Instead of you selling it, Apple takes it back.
Probably will do that too.
IIRC the current gen phone still sells for 68% of Original price. With Apple upgrade program you have to pay 50% before eligible for upgrade meaning it would cost more.
Ohhh forgot about that 50% of payment on top of the extra monthly fee.
Brought the xs max 256. Paid in full. Paying in installments means no tax, but with my credit card I get 90 days insurance for theft and loss and warranty extended by 1 year, so cheaper than Apple care even with tax. Will pay off old phone and sell back to carrier.
You still have to pay tax on installments. You just pay it up front when you buy the phone.
Ordered XS 256GB in Silver for pick up next Friday. Paid it off since there's no benefits in doing otherwise. Might add the AppleCare and insurance on it for $15 a month. We'll see. Already got a case for it for $.99 lol (some promo that Ringke had).
I added up the installments and it came to the retail value without tax and the page said Apple collects tax in CA when purchasing unbundled. I assume bundled is the installment plan with service. The tax on my bill just appears to be some regulatory fees and taxes on the service.
I got the gold color. Looks like 512 and 256 shipping dates on max phones is starting to slip but you will likely get the phone before the expected date.
How much is the iPhone US? I don't see it on the list.
apple watch was the most exciting thing about the keynote.
I have a X. No need for me to upgrade this time around.
Other than reading the first few posts in this thread and seeing the prices in the news I haven't even read about the new phones. I'm fine with my 6S and see no reason for a new phone.
I have a 6, flawless function, over 4 years.
If it al works decently I wil not upgrade. Even my battery is fine.
The XR is likely the best value. It appears to have almost all of the features as the S models at a cheaper price.
As an aside, these Apple events are getting ridiculous. The format and content is identical to previous events aside for slightly different products.
FYI... anything prior to a 7 is now considered effectively a dinosaur... the processing power alone of anything older wont allow you to use all apps effectively.
Apps I use on a 6S work fine. What apps won't work properly on a 3 year old phone?


This is a selfie from my last deer hunt of the year. It is always a little bitter sweet for the season to come to an end. By the end of each season I have fulfilled my urge to deer hunt, at least for a little while, and most of the people I hunt with have either gone home or are back to family life. So, by the end of the season I am kind of looking forward to some of the other hobbies I have like spring turkey season, fishing, and metal detecting for hidden treasure. That is the sweet part. Here is the bitter part of bitter sweet. I have had so much fun this past season. I got back to doing what makes hunting fun for me. Hunting season means get-togethers for me and my family, seeing people who I love to hang out with that may not be possible with the hustle and grind of everyday life. Notice I left friends out of it, that is because I am so close to the people I share my season with, they are family to me. Lots of work went into the preparation of deer season, and sitting on stand the last time of the season, it seems like a long time before I get to experience it all again.
With that being said, I had a great season. As I mentioned before, I got back to having fun while hunting. I dropped all of those out of reach standards I had from watching hunting shows, and just enjoyed what I had to hunt! I did put out my first food plots with my buddy Eric. I don't normally do stuff like that, because I simply don't have the resources to do so. It was cool to see how he approached it, and see the finished result. I was hunting over one of the food plots the last day. I normally have a couple friends from Louisiana come up to hunt rifle season with me. This year there was a bonus! We were blessed to have two more of our extended families make the trip and we had a blast!
I got a great buck about five days into modern gun season after losing a really good buck opening weekend. Unfortunately, we didn't kill some of the bigger deer we had pictures of, but lots of deer meat headed south to Louisiana to be made into smoked sausage and ground meat! Here are some of the photos of this years hunts.
A buck I am super pleased with!
Me and Eric trying to kill a turkey on video with a crossbow. Got Busted by a hen at 10 yards.
Eric's buck. He had about 3 days total to hunt this year due to work. Glad he got to put some meat in the freezer.
Caught up with that hen in Fall shotgun season.
Mike and Haley enjoying beautiful Kentucky weather.
What a great, REAL post. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself, enjoyed your friends and family and forgot about all those unreachable standards they set on hunting shows. Looking forward to seeing how turkey season and fishing goes!

Interactive voice response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and DTMF tones input via keypad. IVR systems can respond with prerecorded or dynamically generated audio to further direct users on how to proceed. IVR applications can be used to control almost any function where the interface can be broken down into a series of simple interactions. IVR systems deployed in the network are sized to handle large call volumes.

American Philosophical Society Historical and Literary Committee, American Indian Vocabulary Collection
Mss.497.V85
Scope & content
Vocabularies and Correspondence
Date: 1784-1828 | Size: 0.25 Linear feet
Beginning in the 1790s, the American Philosophical Society began to accumulate vocabularies and texts written in Native American languages, guided by Thomas Jefferson's idea of using comparative linguistics to reconstruct the histories of Indian peoples and discern their origins.
The American Indian Vocabularies Collection was initially assembled by the Historical and Literary Committee of the APS for publication in 1816. They include information on seventeen North American languages and one each from the Caribbean and Central America, collected between 1784 and 1828. A number of individuals were invovled in recording the vocabularies, including Benjamin Hawkins, William Thornton, David Campbell, Daniel Smith, Constantine Volney, Constantine Rafinesque, William Vans Murray, John Heckewelder, Martin Duralde, Campanius Holm, and Jefferson himself. Most followed the standardized word set established by Jefferson.
The indigenous languages of the Americas first became a significant interest at the American Philosophical Society under the Society's third President, Thomas Jefferson. In his Notes on the State of Virginia (1783), Jefferson had laid the conceptual foundation for reconstructing a history of Indian peoples based upon a systematic analysis of their languages, and while he collected some vocabularies himself to that end, he was remarkably effective at spurring others. Most famously, in about 1791 he had a form printed that included a standard vocabulary of about 280 English words with adjacent blanks in which Indian equivalents were to be recorded. Distributed to his friends, military officers, and others likely to come into contact with Indians, the forms were returned to Jefferson for analysis, and over the course of decade, he accumulated over 400 vocabularies. Unfortuantely, many of these were destroyed in 1809, with the remainder arriving at the APS in 1817.
Since Jefferson's initial efforts, several other APS members have contributed to the project. The Historical and Literary Committee took a special interest in Indian vocabularies, as they did in other historical documents, publishing an important collection of them as the first volume of their Transactions in 1816. The head of the committee, Peter Stephen Du Ponceau, prefaced this volume with the statement that he was not wedded to any particular theory of Indian origins, but wished only to obtain a "bird's eye view" of them all to guage the depth of linguistic diversity in North America and to discern how these languages relate to those of the Old World. The APS has collected materials on Indian languages continuously since that time.
The vocabularies comprising the American Indian Vocabulary Collection were assembled by the Historical and Literary Committee in 1816, when preparing for the first volume of their Transactions. The resulting collection consists of 23 vocabularies of 19 languages collected between 1784 to 1828, along with letters of transmittal and other associated information. A number of individuals were invovled in recording the vocabularies, including Benjamin Hawkins, William Thornton, David Campbell, Daniel Smith, Constantine Volney, Constantine Rafinesque, William Vans Murray, John Heckewelder, Martin Duralde, Campanius Holm, and Jefferson himself.
The majority of the vocabularies record languages in what is now the eastern half of the United States, ranging from Osage, Quapaw, and Shawnee in the lower Mississippi Valley to Natick and Mohegan in New England. Rafinesque submitted vocabularies for two non-North American languages, the extinct Taino language of Haiti and for Chontal in Central America, and Jefferson himself recorded one vocabulary, Unquachog from the Pusspatock settlement near Brookhaven, Long Island.
A number of the original printed forms of the Jefferson vocabulary (ca. 1790-1792) are included. These materials were in many instances copied by Peter S. Du Ponceau into his private collection of Indian vocabularies (Mss. 497 In2) and were, in this form, utilized by Albert Gallatin for his Synopsis (1836). Gallatin had also seen the Jefferson manuscripts.
Acquired by the Historical and Literary Committee of the APS from John G. E. Heckewelder, Peter Stephen Du Ponceau, Thomas Jefferson and others, 1816-1828.
Cite as: American Indian Vocabulary Collection, American Philosophical Society.
Recatalogued by rsc, 2002.
The vocabularies are also described in the online Daythal Kendall Guide to Native American Collections at the American Philosophical Society.
Among several other Indian language collections at the APS, two are directly related to the Historical and Literary Committee Collection:
Thomas Jefferson's comparative vocabulary (Call no. 497.3 J35), which includes Du Ponceau's Indian Vocabulary Collection (Call no. 497.3 In2) includes information on 73 languages. The North American languages recorded by Du Ponceau provided the basis for Albert Gallatin's "A Synopsis of the Indian Tribes Within the United States East of the Rocky Mountains and in the British and Russian Possessions in North America," Transactions and Collections of the American Antiquarian Society 2 (1836): 1-422.
Peter S. Du Ponceau, "Report of the Corresponding Secretary...," Transactions of the Historical and Literary Committee of the American Philosophical Society 1 (1819): xvii-1.
These three volumes contain APS's correspondence and records relating to Native American languages. MOLE contains a detailed inventory of the collection. The first volume contains extensive correspondence on Native American languages, some of which is addressed to Thomas Jefferson. Much of this material is from the early to mid nineteenth centutry. The second volume contains Thomas Jefferson's printed form that he sent out to individuals asking for Native American language information. The third volume contains photostats of a dictionary of the Miami language.

A GUINEA BALANCE
by Thomas Williams, London, c.1774, the steel beam with articulated ends, two brass pans and a tassel to suspend them from, in a fitted carved wooden case, with weights and brass hook clasp, makers label inside the lid listing official weights of guineas, half-gunieas etc. from 31 August 1774, and annotated "24 grains is one pennyweight".
Provenance: The lid is inscribed with initials "JB" for John Bragge. John Bragge was a Dorsetshire countryman who rebuilt the family home, Sadbarow House, about 1774 and became a JP and Deputy Lieutenant of the county. His portrait by Gainsborough is in the Dorset County Museum.
Acquired from Sadbarow by the vendor's grandfather either when a curate nearby, or at the sale of the last Bragge's effects in 1922.
The Bartelot Family Collection, mostly the property of Rev. Richard Grosvenor Bartelot FSA, Rector of Fordington, Dorchester 1907-1939, or his son Major R St G G Bartelot.
Grosvenor Bartelot was born in 1868 and went to Crewkerne Grammar School and Wadham College, Oxford, in the 1880s. In the next two decades he served as curate at Corfe Castle, Anglican chaplain in Turin, and as the Bishop of Salisbury's missioner covering duties of other clergy all over Dorset. He became a noted antiquarian and genealogist and was elected FSA. Having been born a Bartlett, in 1898 he changed his name to the original Norman form, Bartelot. In 1906 he became Vicar of Fordington St George, Dorchester, and next year he married Evelyn, daughter of Alfred Pope Esq of South Court and Wrackleford House, founder of the Eldridge Pope brewery. Having retired in 1936 to Timsbury, Somerset, he died in 1947.

Greece's full exit from the euro and issuing of a new currency would happen in 7 chaotic steps
Greece's euro membership is dangling by a thread.
According to finance ministers in the rest of Europe, the Greek government has just a few days left to preserve its place in the currency union. Based on how talks have gone so far, the chances of a sudden deal don't look too positive.
But how would it actually happen?
There aren't many modern examples of a country leaving a currency union. Some people use comparisons to Argentina, which has seen massive devaluations in recent decades — but that was a huge reduction in the value of the same currency, not an entirely new one.
Here are 7 steps that could take us from where we are now to a full Grexit.
1. The money effectively runs out: Greek banks are running on fumes currently, with capital controls preventing any more than €60 being withdrawn from ATM machines. The government also has a major payment to the European Central Bank to make on July 20, so the money many run out on two fronts — in cash machines and with the government.
2. A shadow currency: A sort of scrip (let's call them Greek coupons) would likely be released as part-payment for government wages and pensions. Instead of real money, the parallel currency would be issued at a rate of one Greek coupon to one euro. So shop owners would be legally bound to accept three Greek coupons instead of three euros for a sandwich, for example.
3. A black market: But despite the government's insistence, it's hard to imagine that holding for very long. In the event of Grexit, the Greek coupons would be replaced with the far less valuable drachma, and so people would want actual euros, not coupons. As a result, you'd have the 1:1 official conversion rate between euros and coupons, and a much higher coupon:euro rate in quickly-emerging black markets.
4. Normalisation as a currency: To get Greece over the immediate hump of its upcoming debt repayments, the parallel currency would be useful. But if banks remain closed, many people could come t rely on the Greek coupons, rather than or equally as much as euros. People would want to pay taxes in the parallel currency too, if it's their main source of income.
5. Official move away from the euro: Converting deposits in Greece banks into some new currency (let's call it the Drachma) would be resisted by savers, but if the European Central Bank (ECB) won't provide emergency liquidity assistance, there seems to be little other way in which the institutions can re-open. It's likely the coupon money would basically end up as the forerunner of the new drachma.
6. A massive devaluation: It's widely accepted that the euro is considerably too strong for Greece's economy. Any departure from it would mean an immediate and potentially large depreciation of the new currency.
7. Default: With a new currency now issued and far less valuable than the euro, default would be widespread on any euro-denominated debts. For example, if you're paid in drachma and have debts taken out in euros owed to banks in the rest of Europe, you'll suddenly struggle to make payments you once found relatively easy.
After that, opinion is split.
Some think with a financial system which has been effectively destroyed, and a further deep recession, Greece wouldn't be able to recover rapidly. Others think that the country would be able to thrive outside of the euro's straitjacket.
There's a good chance that we'll now find out who's right.

Olympics Pioneers Weightlifting
The Legend of Tommy Kono, the World's Greatest Weightlifter
by Dat Winning
If you've never heard of Tommy Kono, he probably wouldn't have held it against you. Kono was a Japanese American man of humble origins, born in Sacramento, CA, who spent three years of his childhood in northern California's Tule Lake internment camp. He also may have been the greatest weightlifter the world has ever seen.

Kono rose to fame in the 1950s, winning Olympic gold medals in weightlifting for the U.S. in 1952 and 1956, and a silver in 1960. He also won the World Weightlifting Championships six consecutive times from 1953 to 1959, finishing his career in 1964 with 26 world records and 7 Olympic records.
If that weren't enough, as a bodybuilder, he also won Mr. World in 1954, then Mr. Universe in 1955, '57 and '61. And during that competition in 1961, he inspired a 13-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger, watching in the crowd, to go home and hit the weights.
And yet, somehow, Kono's achievements have been relegated to obscure trivia today, when he should have been the stuff of national folklore.
His absence in American history is something that Ryan Yamamoto, an Emmy-award winning news anchor in Seattle, hopes to correct with his 30-minute documentary, Arnold Knows Me: The Tommy Kono Story, set to premiere on July 26 in Kono's hometown Sacramento.
The Post Game's Cole Jacobson has a detailed write-up on the documentary, and an interview with Yamamoto. The documentary's title refers to a story about how Kono would playfully reply to anyone asking if he knew Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yamamoto reluctantly suggests that racial prejudice may be the reason for Kono's relative obscurity. The U.S., so soon after World War II, was never going to make a Japanese man an American hero. But Kono, "would never talk about that," says Yamamoto, "he was very humble about that."

From The Post Game, "KVIE, the PBS affiliate in Sacramento, will host a premiere screening event for 'Arnold Knows Me: The Tommy Kono Story' on July 26 and then air it several times beginning August 3."
If you feel so inclined, the project has a GoFundMe page where you can contribute to help cover the costs of the documentary's production.
In 2004, the York Daily Record's Jim Seip wrote on Kono's time in Tule Lake and later during his training days in hallowed York, PA. His poetic insights on Kono's hardest times are worth the read.
Kono once said he would never return to York after his first visit there. It was unsettling the way people stared at him outside of the gym. But inside, he was respected as a lifter. Kono would return for years to train with the York Barbell Club, the country's best weightlifting program.
"They only saw him as an American," writes Seip. He adds that Kono was, "one of four weightlifters in history to win eight or more world titles," and "the only lifter to win Olympic medals in three different weight classes."
Everything about Tommy Kono is legendary. He was an asthmatic 14-year-old when a neighbor first gave him a dumbbell at Tule Lake, and went on to become a self-taught Olympic champion who never even hired a coach. He became a weightlifting and bodybuilding legend, even if for just the knowing faithful, and inspired a global icon.

Only dedicated weightlifting and bodybuilding fans will likely remember Kono now, but he is there, waiting to be rediscovered for the rest of us. He is painted in the center of the 'Muscletown USA' mural in York and he is one of the first faces you will see if you ever go visit the U.S.A. Weightlifting Hall of Fame in York.

Read books and magazines on electronics and stuff. Most technology from the last 40 years is still pretty relevant. I'm building a project from Popular Electronics that was published over 30 years ago, and all the parts are still available.
Probably the single best book is "The Art Of Electronics" Copies of that can be found online, I've heard. So can a lot of electronics magazine back issues, if you can't find them on newstands or in libraries.
If you really want to know how electronics works properly and have a head for maths, then I highly recommend http://www.amazon.com/Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/0521370957 . While you can pick up stuff from instructables and other random websites, most of it does not properly explain the workings, and hence will not allow you to design circuits from scratch successfully.
By reading things on the site about this stuff, also experimentation with junk.
As with any subject- not just practice or research, but both and more.
You need to ask lots of questions about everything; not so much "what now?" as "why?" and "like this?". You need to build things, and experiment to see what effect changing this or that component has. Get a book of simple projects to try and maybe a project kit. You also need to keep a journal of what you did, what happened, and what you think this means.
As they get older, many people become afraid to fail. You can't let this happen. When you are just starting out in a subject, it's perfectly normal to know nothing. When you ask a question that turns out to be silly, you need to be happy for the correction and not so embarrassed to be wrong that you keep your other questions to yourself. When your experiment doesn't behave as expected, you need to figure out or at least write down what went wrong before starting over.
Finally, there's another bit of advice your teachers will be sure to give you. Pay attention in math class. Every chance you get, try to take the instructions your teacher gives you and rewrite them in an easier, faster, simpler, and more correct way. Ask them things like "Does this method always work?" and "How do I known when to...?". No matter what career you go into, you can't avoid math. As someone who tutors adults, I can tell you with certainty: you want to learn this when you're young and not when you have three screaming kids, achy joints, a family member who needs rides to the hospital, and bill collectors banging on your door.
You know, when asked, I will state random facts about said subject. How do I know this stuff about stuff? I haven't a clue. I basically just float around Instructables, and Yahoo Answers. Google things that interest you. Just look around Instructables, do some projects, google, buy some RC cars, (You have NNNNOOOOO idea what their project value is!!!!!) wikipedia random stuff.

Trump clears deck for China trade war by striking new Nafta deal
Tue, Oct 02, 2018 - 10:07 AM
President Donald Trump looks to be preparing for a potentially protracted economic war with China by clearing the decks of disputes with America's other trading competitors.
[WASHINGTON] President Donald Trump looks to be preparing for a potentially protracted economic war with China by clearing the decks of disputes with America's other trading competitors.
In just the last few weeks, he's struck a last-minute deal with Canada and Mexico, signed a trade agreement with South Korea and convinced Japan to begin bilateral economic negotiations. The North American accord also includes provisions seemingly aimed at keeping Chinese products out of the region.
"Several months ago the US had a multi-pronged attack on its trading partners," said Dec Mullarkey, managing director for Sun Life Investment Management which oversees US$47 billion in assets. "Now the US can zero in on China."
That's good news and bad news for the global economy. On the plus side, it suggests that Mr Trump is not an ultra-isolationist who's opposed to all types of trade. As economists from JPMorgan Chase & Co see it, the president is holding back from launching a "war on trade" that could upend the world economy.
But he is embarking on a trade war with China that will take a bite out of both countries' economies next year and raise the risk of a broad pullback in global business confidence, they said in a Sept 28 research note.

"It's too early to talk" with China, Mr Trump said on Monday in announcing the new pact with Canada and Mexico at the White House. "Can't talk now, because they're not ready, because they've been ripping us for so many years. It doesn't happen that quickly."
US negotiators clearly had China in mind when they hammered out the new trade deal with Mexico and Canada to replace the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement that Mr Trump labelled a disaster.
The agreement's rules of origin, which govern how much value of a car needs to be made in the region, have been touted by the Trump administration as a tool to keep out Chinese inputs and encourage production and investment in the US and North America.
"The US seems focused on keeping Chinese imports from gaining real market share in the US," said Flavio Volpe, president of Canada's Automotive Parts Manufacturer's Association.
"The blunt protectionist stick used by this administration may end up creating a coalition of major trading partners that will be difficult for Chinese carrots to compete with."
The revised agreement also requires the three nations to give three-months' notice if they start trade negotiations with a "non-market economy", an indirect reference to China. The US can terminate its pact with Mexico or Canada if either of them strikes a deal with a non-market economy.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland on Monday downplayed the importance of the provision, saying the countries could always terminate the agreement if they wanted to. That is "a possibility which exists no matter what", she told reporters in Ottawa.
The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, also prohibits its members from seeking to boost their economic competitiveness by devaluing their currencies, something Mr Trump has accused China of doing in the past.
By settling on a deal with America's neighbours - and beginning talks with allies Japan and the European Union - Mr Trump is strengthening his negotiating position vis-a-vis strategic competitor Beijing.
"The next step will be to bear down on China with a broader coalition," said David Hensley, director of global economics for JPMorgan Chase in New York, noting that other countries share America's concerns about Beijing's alleged unfair trade practices and mercantilism.
The trade ministers of the US, the European Union and Japan issued a joint statement last week squarely aimed at China, pledging to "address non market-oriented policies and practices of third countries" and condemning the theft of intellectual property from multinational corporations.
"If the US were to strike new deals with its major trading partners, many of which are also key trading partners of China, Beijing could feel increasingly cornered," said Eswar Prasad, a former China expert at the International Monetary Fund who now teaches at Cornell University.
Terry Haines, head of political analysis for Evercore ISI, said in a note to clients on Monday that his base case is that the US and China won't strike an agreement until 2019 at the earliest.
"But the new Nafta deal does show China and others that the Trump administration is willing to conclude new trade deals as long as they address core US concerns," he said.
That though may be difficult for Beijing to do. That's because the Trump administration is pressing for major changes in the way China manages its economy via subsidies and government-directed industrial policy.
"The things they're asking for are pretty much unattainable," said Phil Levy, senior fellow on global economy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and a former trade economist in George W Bush's Council of Economic Advisers.
Mr Trump himself seemed to allude to the difficulties ahead in his comments to reporters on Monday.
"They do whatever they want," he said, referring to Beijing, adding, "We have a lot of catching up to do with China."

Henry Cowell Collection, *L (Special) 88.33, The Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
These noncommercial music and spoken word recordings were collected by Henry Cowell and primarily consist of his own compositions and lectures, as well as numerous field recordings of folk and ethnic music. Additional recordings contain music by modern Western composers, including unique recordings of works by John J. Becker.
Henry Cowell (3/11/1897 - 12/10/1965) was an American composer of symphonic and chamber music. He studied violin with Henry Holmes, and composition with E.G. Strickland and Wallace Sabin at the University of California in Berkeley. He also studied with Walter Damrosch at the Institute of Musical Art in New York, and with Charles Seeger.
Cowell became the first American composer to visit Russia in 1928, after which, he studied ethnomusicology with Erich von Hornbostel in Berlin as a Guggenheim fellow. These persuits led him toward extensive study of ethnic musical materials.
Cowell made great use of tone clusters. He systematized the clusters as harmonic amplifications of tonal chords, and devised logical notation for them. He ultimately applied tone clusters to compositions for instrumental works (in addition to piano works), and also used them in many of his symphonic works.
The collection consists of noncommercial recordings collected by Henry Cowell reflecting varied interests. It includes the works of Cowell, as well as that of other composers such as John J. Becker, Paul Hindemith, and Igor Stravinsky, and folk and world music from such places as Africa, India, Morocco, and Turkey.
Also included are lectures, interviews and demonstrations by/with Cowell.
The series contains examples of world music from various locations.
The series contains recordings of various Cowell compositions. If a recording includes works by Cowell as well as the works of other composers, it will be found in this series. Therefore, it is possible to find works by composers other than Cowell in this series.
Many items in this series are not attributed to any date. However, amongst those which are dated, the date span is 1939-1986.
The series contains discussions, interviews and lectures (some of which include musical performances) involving Henry Cowell.
Many items in this series are not attributed to any specific date. However, amongst those items which are dated, the date span is 1948-1964.
The series includes recordings of works by composers other than Henry Cowell. For additional recordings of works of other composers, see Series II, Henry Cowell Recordings.
Many items in this series are not attributed to any specific date. However, amongst those items which are dated, the date span of the series is 1941-1964.
The collection was donated by Sidney Cowell.

Available formats: Word | Rich Text
This package is an important tool for the promotion of athletic activities. A wide variety of forms is included, covering topics such as releases, agents, trainers, coaches, game hosting, and more. Purchase of this package is a savings of more than 50% over purchase of the forms individually!
Representation Agreement between Sports Agent and Athlete - A sports agent is a person who procures and negotiates employment and endorsement contracts for an athlete. In return, the agent receives a commission that is usually a percentage of the contract, although this figure varies. In addition to finding incoming sources, agents often handle public relations matters for their clients. In some large sports agencies, agents deal with all aspects of an athlete's finances, from investment to filing taxes.
Athletic Trainer Agreement - Independent Contractor - This is a contract between a sports team or franchise and an athletic trainer whereby the franchise employs the athletic trainer as an independent contractor.
Employment Contract Between Professional Sports Team and Coach - This form is a generic example of a contract between a Professional Sports Team and the Head Coach. It covers such issues as employment duties, term and renewal, compensation, ground for termination and more.
Student-Athlete Authorization/Consent for Disclosure of Protected Health Information to the National Collegiate Athletic Association for Monitoring and Research of Sports Injuries/Illnesses - The NCAA Injury Surveillance System (ISS), an ongoing surveillance database maintained by the NCAA. The ISS provides NCAA committees, athletic conferences and individual schools and NCAA-approved researchers with injury, relevant illness and participation information that does not identify individual athletes or schools. The data provide the Association and other groups with an information resource upon which to base and evaluate the effectiveness of health and safety rules and policy, and to study other sports medicine questions. This letter is meant to satisfy requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Agreement Regarding Employment of Student-Athlete in Accordance with College Compliance Program - The purpose of this agreement is to insure compliance with NCAA regulations regarding employment of a student-athlete who has an athletic scholarship with an NCAA member institution.
Acknowledgment of Risk and Hold Harmless Agreement of Student who Wants to Use College Recreation Center - A waiver or release is the intentional and voluntary act of relinquishing something, such as a known right to sue a person, educational institution, or organization for an injury. The term waiver is sometimes used to refer a document that is signed before any damages actually occur. A release is sometimes used to refer a document that is executed after an injury has occurred. A waiver can be an effective way for a person, educational institution, or organization to inform students, parents, event participants, and family members of the risks involved in various activities and to shield the person, educational institution, or organization from liability. When outside entities or organizations use an institution's facilities (such as a school's track or cross country course), the institution may try to limit its liability exposure by having participants sign a hold-harmless agreement. This document is a promise by one party not to hold the other responsible for any costs or claims that may result from a loss that results from the subject matter of the agreement.
Drug-Testing Consent for NCAA Division III Athletics - Intercollegiate student-athletes must sign a consent form in order to play college sports under the National Collegiate Athletic Association's policies.
State Soccer Tournament, Event Or Game Hosting Agreement - This form is a sample of an agreement for a state soccer tournament. It contains such information as tournament rules, liability insurance, referees, field marshals, spectator lines, game and tournament behavior, and much more.

Using the typein field labelled "Enter notes on pitches" you can type a list of pitches for notes that you would like to enter into the score. You can enter as many pitch names as fit within the typein field separated by commas.
Valid pitch names are the characters a, b, c, d, e,f, and g followed by an optional accidental symbol. You can also enter the pitch names as capital letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
The accidental symbol which flats a pitch is 'b'. ('b' is the keyboard symbol that looks most similar to a musical flat symbol). The accidental symbol which sharps a pitch is '#'.
When you press the Enter key that's in front of this typein field, a sequence of notes is entered into the score that is recorded on the list of pitches that was typed into the typein field. They are all given the duration that is specified by the duration setting options that are displayed in the top group of controls that are displayed in the left panel of the Workscore Composer page.
Example: typing the characters 'a,Bb,f#' into the "Enter notes on pitches" type-in field and pressing enter while "eighth-triplet" is selected on the Duration menu, will cause three eight-triplets to be entered on the pitches A, Bb, abd F# in your score. These will all be in the octave, measured fron C to the next higher B, in which you last entered notes into the score.
You can include the words 'up' and 'down' between pitch names, to force the composer to enter the new notes an octave higher or lower than the last note you entered.
Typing "D,up,C,down,Bb" would cause a D note to be entered in the next higher octave, a C in the same octave as D, and Bb in the original octave that is in the octave range immediately below the D and C notes.

Tax Haven Abuse by Corporations Shortchanges U.S. Treasury to Tune of $2,116 for Every Small Business in America
On April 12, the Main Street Alliance joined U.S. PIRG, Congressman Chris Van Hollen, Business for Shared Prosperity and the American Sustainable Business Council at a Capitol Hill press conference releasing U.S. PIRG's new report "Picking Up the Tab: Average Citizens and Small Businesses Pay the Price for Offshore Tax Havens."
According to the report, tax haven abuse by U.S. corporations shortchanges the U.S. Treasury of revenues by an average of $2,116 for every small business in America (using Census numbers for businesses with fewer than 100 employees).
"When big corporations use loopholes and tax havens to avoid paying taxes, they're robbing our country of the revenues we need to invest in our future and support small businesses," said Aimee McQuilkin, owner of Betty's Divine, an independent clothing boutique in Missoula, Montana and a leader with the Montana Small Business Alliance and Main Street Alliance. "If you want to fly the American flag outside your corporate headquarters, you should pay your way."

"When I was fifteen I always imagined I would grow up, play softball for my favorite University, earn my degree in physical therapy, and help those less fortunate along the way—in any way I possibly could. I always envisioned myself as someone who worked hard and saw life as a series of opportunities all just waiting for me to seize. On December 29th 2007, during my sophomore year in high school, a skiing accident changed my life in a blink when I sustained a cervical spinal cord injury rendering me paralyzed from the neck down. After the inpatient rehabilitation and all of the doctors informing my family about the things I was never going to be able to achieve in my life, I decided there and then to defy all the odds.
I was going to live my life the only way I knew, and that was to continue to make goals and work hard to achieve them. Even though my path now was very different, I had this deep feeling in my gut that told me I was to stay the course I originally chose for myself. I felt a sense of confidence and focus inside me that I exuded to others. Being forced into a very different life direction, I began to change the definition of myself. It was up to me to make the positive changes necessary to achieve my goals and obtain the success I had always seen for myself.
I learned quickly that my new life was going to be filled with incredibly difficult daily challenges. Many people take for granted the small tasks they do every day; tasks such as eating, combing their hair, getting dressed and getting in and out of a vehicle independently. These are all things I struggled to learn again. One of my goals was to get accepted at USC and become independent enough to live there on my own.
As a young adult with abundant confidence, it was very frustrating to have to slow down and be taught basic life skills again. It definitely challenged my attitude and weighed heavily on my self-esteem—but I persevered. Since I could no longer turn to sports for a mental release, I turned to writing. The more and more I wrote, the more I found it helped people. I started a blog about my struggles of going through a spinal cord injury at a young age and I found so many people who were extremely interested and receptive to my struggles. I was invited to be a guest speaker at a high school to talk about my accident and road to recovery. Although I was nervous at first, I loved it. I had found a new outlet and thrill to seek: helping other people realize their true life potential.
After two years of intensive rehab, I was able to walk and receive my high school diploma. A year later, I was accepted to the University of Southern California (USC) for college. Adversity is a word known to describe people overcoming a hardship or challenge in their life. Even when doctors stripped me of all hope of ever walking again, I continued to remain positive in my hopes of reaching my infinite goal of being 100% independent again. I believe that if you set goals, work hard enough, stay positive, focused and patient, you will achieve whatever goals you set for yourself. Whether you consider yourself a warrior now or if you still have a way to go in your journey, there will be a time in your life when you will be faced with some sort of adversity. I have found that it is not the adversity that defines you but how you respond to it that ultimately shapes who you are.
One of the most important strategies to optimize success is having a powerful tribe around to inspire you. Your tribe will push you in the right direction, give you accountability and above all give you support. If you don't have a tribe fitting with these characteristics, we invite you to join ours.

Wynona Judd and Taylor Swift: CAT FIGHT!!!
admin|November 14, 2009
The country music establishment continues to be rocked by the huge success of nineteen year old Taylor Swift who has had the sort of year you can't make up but a lot of backlash as well. First there was George Jones saying it wasn't country and nnow here comes Wymona Judd as reported on website the Boot:
"You want my honest comment? It's too much too soon."
"The singer, who was 22 when she and her mother Naomi were nominated in 1986 — making her previously the youngest artist to be nominated in that category — added, "Mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us. Now it's over coffee breaks, the success, almost. It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?"

Q: Integral of a bivariate Gaussian in the positive quadrant I am looking for a reference (or a somewhat simple proof) for the following result, which for instance Mathematica spits out without too much effort. Here $a,b,c \in \mathbb{R}$ are constants satisfying $a, c < 0$ and $b^2 < 4 a c$.

$$\int_0^{\infty}\int_0^{\infty} \exp(a x^2 + b x y + c y^2) \, dx \, dy = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{4ac-b^2}} \left(\pi + 2 \arctan\left(\frac{b}{\sqrt{4ac-b^2}}\right)\right).$$

One idea I had was to write:
\begin{align}
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \exp(a x^2 + b x y + c y^2) \, dx \, dy &= 2 \int_0^{\infty}\int_0^{\infty} \exp(a x^2 + b x y + c y^2) \, dx \, dy \\
 &+ 2 \int_0^{\infty}\int_0^{\infty} \exp(a x^2 - b x y + c y^2) \, dx \, dy
\end{align}
The integral on the left can easily be computed as it corresponds to the total probability of the corresponding bivariate Gaussian distribution (minus scaling factors), but then I'm stuck at solving the other integral with $(-b)$ substituted for $b$, which seems just as complicated to compute and is not easily relatable to the original integral. So I'm not sure if this approach leads anywhere.
A more direct approach would be to simply compute both integrals explicitly, one at a time. Doing one integral first, a human can verify without too much effort that
$$\int_0^{\infty} \exp(a x^2 + b x y + c y^2) \, dx = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{-4 a}} \cdot \exp\left(\frac{(4 a c -b^2) y^2}{a}\right) \left(\text{erf}\left(\frac{b y}{2 \sqrt{-a}}\right)+1\right).$$
Doing the second integral with $\exp(u y^2) (\text{erf}(v y) + 1)$ is not so straightforward though, and for instance I could not find a reference for computing such integrals (and getting an arctangent in the process) in Abramowitz and Stegun's handbook. So if someone has a reference for integrating $\exp(u y^2) \text{erf}(v y)$ over $y > 0$ for $u, v$ as above, that would also be appreciated.

A: Of course, just when I gave up and posted the question, I found a solution... It is based on substituting $y = x s$ (and $dy = x \, ds$) before computing the integral over $x$, so that it greatly simplifies and an integral over $1/(a + bs + cs^2)$ remains, which leads to the arctangent solution.
\begin{align}
\int_{y=0}^{\infty}\int_{0}^{\infty} \exp(a x^2 + b x y + c y^2) \, dx \, dy &= \int_{s=0}^{\infty} \left(\int_{0}^{\infty} \exp\left((a + bs + cs^2)x^2 \right) \, x \, dx\right) \, ds \\
&= \int_{0}^{\infty} \left[\frac{\exp\left((a + bs + cs^2) x^2\right)}{2 (a + bs + cs^2)}\right]_{x=0}^{\infty} \, ds \\
&= \int_{0}^{\infty} \left[0 - \frac{1}{2 (a + bs + cs^2)}\right] \, ds \\
&= \frac{-1}{2} \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{a + bs + cs^2} \, ds \\
&= \frac{-1}{2} \left[\frac{2}{\sqrt{4 a c - b^2}} \, \arctan \left(\frac{2 a s + b}{\sqrt{4 a c - b^2}}\right)\right]_{s=0}^{\infty} \\
&= \frac{-1}{\sqrt{4 a c - b^2}} \left[-\frac{\pi}{2} - \arctan \left(\frac{b}{\sqrt{4 a c - b^2}}\right)\right].
\end{align}
Here we used the provided conditions on $a, b, c$ several times throughout. For instance the third equality uses that $a + bs + cs^2 < 0$ for all $s > 0$.

Ciara sat up and looked around the bedroom. Where had he gone? She had felt his hands on her, seen his dark green eyes staring into hers and known he would have her no matter what she wanted. Her fists clenched the covers as she tried to catch her breath. She could almost smell the scent of him, lingering in the room.
It had to have been magic. He wasn't there, but he was close. She jumped out of bed and pulled her shawl around her. This wasn't the first dream she'd had about Donal, but it was by far the most unsettling. She forced herself to calm down as she walked into the main room of the cottage.
Seeing the embers were still warm, she added more peat to the fire and put the kettle on. Glad she'd filled it with water the night before, she decided to look through her grandmother's books while she waited. A cup of tea would help calm her nerves…but finding the right potion would be even better. The books were lined up neatly on the shelves by the fireplace.
As she opened the shutters to let in the light, Riordan jumped onto the sill. He meowed once, then landed on the chair by the fire. Carefully washing a paw, he watched her set the books on a small table next to the chair. He kept washing as she started flipping through pages in the first book. Finally, he stopped and looked at her for a moment, then stepped down and touched the book under the one she had opened.
Riordan jumped down to the floor and rubbed his body against the leg of the chair. Then, walked over and stared at the door.
Her grandmother had warned her about Donal a few weeks before she'd died. He was a sorcerer, who'd been taking any and all magic he could find for years. Her grandmother had been a powerful witch…powerful enough to block his magic, but Ciara was not.
A few months ago, her grandmother had taken sick and the next day, the dreams had started. At first, they were harmless enough. A tall, blond man with dark green eyes. He was very handsome until you looked too closely. Then, one saw the hard set of his mouth and the anger in his eyes. When she told her grandmother about the dreams, she found out it was Donal O'Brien.
The next day, Riordan had shown up. A skinny, gray striped cat with an attitude, he'd followed Ciara everywhere. He watched as she prepared teas for her grandmother to lower her fever. Sat by the fire as Ciara went through each book, hoping to find some potion that might help. Finally, she realized there was nothing more she could do.
As if she'd had to explain that to Ciara. She'd read the books. She knew what a familiar could do.
She looked down at Riordan, who simply stared back at her, then he jumped on the table and tapped the book with one paw. Turning a few more pages, she saw the protection potion.
As she walked out of the cottage to gather the herbs, she turned back and looked at the whitewashed walls and thatched roof. Then, she saw the roses blooming against the wall and smiled. Dark red and almost as tall as the chimney, she stopped to smell their fragrance on her way to the herb garden. She would miss the plants even more than the cottage, she thought, leaning down to pick some lavender.
She'd brought her basket and it was soon filled with thyme, sage, rosemary, fennel, a bit of rue and the lavender. As she went back in, she took some of the rose petals and added them to the rest. There was power in the things you loved. Her grandmother had taught her that the first day she'd arrived.
Except by a powerful sorcerer. Ciara shook her head and took the herbs into the cottage, setting the basket on the table. She brought the book over and checked that she had everything she needed. Normally, she remembered every detail, but this was important and there wouldn't be time to make a second batch.
She smiled as she saw the familiar writing and realized she'd miss her grandmother's books, too. She looked over at the shelf and knew she couldn't take them with her. It would slow her down to have too much baggage…but she couldn't leave everything behind. She walked over and picked up two books and brought them over to the table. She'd take these and the one with protection potion. They were her heritage and they might be of use. Even if she couldn't stop Donal, she might be able to slow him down. Or confuse him. She took a deep breath and went back to the herbs.
A few hours later, she had everything packed and looked around once more at the cottage. She straightened her shoulders, said a thank you to her grandmother and walked out the door. Riordan meowed once, then followed her.
They made good time on the road and only one wagon passed them on their way to New Ross. It was getting dark as they reached the edge of town and Riordan brushed against her leg as they passed a tavern.
She knew the last one left at half past eight. It was not a long trip to Wexford, but she didn't know if there would be a ferry that late. She had enough money to get a room and wait for the crossing first thing the next morning. Still not sure if her plan would work, she decided to focus on getting to Wexford and putting distance between herself and Donal.
As she walked up to the ticket booth, Riordan veered off towards the railway tracks. "I'd like a ticket to Wexford," Ciara said, watching the man look around and behind her.
"You traveling by yourself, Miss?" he asked.
Ciara smiled and walked over to the bench. She put her two bags on the ground and sat down. She watched Riordan stalk a mouse by the station, then her gaze moved past him to the two men arguing. She could barely make out what they were saying.
"I told you going to England won't solve anything," the taller one said. He seemed angry and muttered something else she couldn't make out.
"It's worth a try," the other man replied. He turned away from her and walked towards the ticket booth.
Ciara waited another few minutes, then saw the train coming towards them. As it pulled up, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea sweep over her. A moment later, the feelings of anger and frustration were almost overwhelming. Then, just as quickly they were gone. Thankful she was already sitting down, she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.
"Everything alright, Miss?" she heard. Opening her eyes, she saw the second man looking down at her, concern clouding his eyes.
"I'd be happy to accompany you if you like." Sean smiled, but Ciara shook her head.
"Thank you, but I already have plans," she replied. In truth, she did not…she just wanted to get through the night and put the Irish Sea between herself and Donal.
"Then, I'll take no more of your time," Sean said, bowing slightly. Glancing back once, he smiled as he got on the train. Ciara picked up her bags and followed him, sitting down on a bench at the opposite end. No reason to make friends, she thought. She wouldn't be in Ireland after tomorrow.
At the last minute, Riordan jumped onto the train and somehow a commotion started among the passengers as the cat slipped under her seat. Ciara smiled slightly and shook her head. No one had seen the cat and she doubted they'd notice him when they got off the train either. Riordan was very good at blending into the background.
An hour later, she and the cat were walking to the hotel across from the Wexford train station. It was large and seemed fairly clean. If they had a room available, Ciara would be happy to get some sleep and deal with everything the next morning. However, Riordan had other ideas.
Riordan gave her a look, then swished his tail and cocked his head to one side.
As they walked into the pub across the street, Riordan vanished under a table and reappeared as soon as she was seated. They ordered fish and chips with Riordan eating a third of the fish, then he disappeared out the door.
Ciara smiled slightly, knowing he'd show up again when she went back to the hotel. She looked around and realized Sean MacLir was sitting at a table across the room, watching her.
She nodded and was not surprised, when he walked over. "I see you're enjoying dinner with your friend," he said, smiling.
"He seemed hungry," Ciara replied, surprised he had noticed Riordan. "Won't you sit down?" she added, hoping to keep his mind off the cat.
"I do indeed," Ciara agreed, smiling. She noticed his brown hair seemed darker in the glow of the gas lamps.
"I'm on my way to England to visit relatives," Ciara replied. She wished that were true, but in fact there was no one now that her grandmother was gone.
As she stood to leave, Sean got up with her. "Can I walk you back to your hotel?" She saw he was only a few inches taller than she was, but he looked like he'd have no trouble holding his own in any fight. His gray eyes looked into hers for a moment, then he smiled.
"It's just across the street," Ciara replied.
"Then, I'll wish you a good evening and a safe trip," Sean replied, following her to the door. He watched as she walked to the hotel, then turned and headed down the street, glancing up once at the clouds covering the moon.
Riordan jumped up on the dresser and stared at her for a moment, then sat down and washed a paw.
She knew she could buy more dresses in London. In fact, she'd planned on it. The last thing she wanted was to look like an Irish lass from a small village. She doubted Donal would follow her, but she planned to make sure of it. She took one more look at the dark sky, then got up and closed the curtains. As she turned back to the bed, she thought she heard a wolf howling…but that was ridiculous. There wouldn't be any wolves in a town as large as Wexford.

Fall Premier Auction 2014
REMARKABLE JACKIE ROBINSON HANDWRITTEN NOTE TO A FAN - A SUCCINCT AND COMPELLING PROFILE OF JACKIE'S CHARACTER IN HIS OWN WORDS
All > Baseball > Autographs
All > Dodgers Memorabilia incl. Jackie Robinson
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/7/2014
Jackie Robinson provides us with the essence of his character in this remarkable 26-word missive in which he succinctly ascribes his greatest baseball accomplishment:
"Dear Roger,
I believe my greatest accomplishment was my ability to accept the racial abuse I did early as it was certainly not my nature to do so.
When Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey explained to Robinson that he was looking for a black ballplayer who could ignore any racial antagonism that came his way, Robinson responded, "So you want a Negro who is afraid to fight back?" To which Rickey said, "No, I want a black ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back." As Robinson notes in this letter, meek acquiescence was not in his nature. In fact, only a few years before he had been court-martialed after he refused to move to the back of an Army bus. Despite the hatred he was subjected to he proved himself worthy to have the guts Rickey was looking for, playing ten seasons and earning a place in baseball's hall of fame. But Robinson's accomplishments went well beyond baseball and served to make him both a transformative and an iconic figure in American history. Robinson was always a willing autograph signer, and often wrote notes and letters to his fans. Despite the abundance of written material we have encountered over the years we have never seen or heard of anything even remotely similar to this remarkable letter. It may not be long on words, but it could not be more compelling in content, and we are proud to offer it here as the most significant Jackie Robinson autographed letter we have ever seen.

Issues deeper than David Harmer's pay need consideration
Republican congressional candidate David Harmer denounces bailouts, the stimulus package and Obamacare. But did he accept a bailout of his own?
Harmer, a small-government conservative, is vying for the Republican nomination to run against Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, in the 11th congressional district.
At his Stockton breakfast, as most campaign stops, Harmer blasted "the so-called stimulus that has not stimulated anything but government spending and federal debt."
Declared Harmer, "We're disgusted by it."
Harmer's brush with the bailout was more than ideological. Before flipping his hat into the ring for the 11th District seat, he worked for Washington Mutual.
An attorney, Harmer worked ensuring WaMu complied with federal credit regulations.
WaMu went belly-up in the mortgage meltdown. The bank was acquired by JPMorgan Chase.
JPMorgan Chase received $25 billion in federal bailout money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
JPMorgan Chase laid Harmer off.
Harmer received a $75,406 bonus.
He also received $84,586 in severance, according to his federal financial disclosure forms.
Harmer's foes interpret events this way: Harmer, who denounces bailouts, received a hefty severance - of bailout money. Harmer is guilty of hypocrisy.
Harmer's camp says this interpretation is wrong.
WaMu never took a penny of bailout money, said Harmer's spokesman, Tim Clark.
JPMorgan Chase took it, Clark said. But the financial giant didn't need it. Witness the fact JPMorgan was one of the first to repay the U.S. Treasury in full, Clark said.
"JPMorgan Chase is one of the healthiest, financially sound institutions on the planet," Clark said. "They did not need nor did they want TARP bailout money."
U.S. leaders, striving to calm the financial markets, lavished TARP money over needy and not-needy institutions alike, Clark said.
"The whole bailout process was flawed, and it was bad government, and it should have never happened," Clark said.
As for Harmer's bonus and severance, "Whatever David was paid by JPMorgan came from JPMorgan," and not taxpayers, "because it was a very healthy financial institution."
JPMorgan Chase had a credit regulation compliance division of its own. Harmer's division became redundant.
As far as the bonus, "It's compensation for work done - for a good job done ensuring the banks comply with the consumer protection," Clark said.
"We are conservatives," Clark said. "We believe in rewarding those who excel and get the job done."
Harmer, who earned $485,779 over the previous five quarters, and who lists hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets, then applied for unemployment compensation.
He took $2,395 in unemployment, his records say.
"He's paid into the system," Clark said.
To my mind, the critics who raised the issues about Harmer's compensation are missing the bigger point.
Whether or not Harmer was wrong to take the money, WaMu's failure also was the failure of unrestrained free-market capitalism.
Washington Mutual undid itself by reckless and predatory lending. Seeking to become "the Walmart of lenders," the bank went after lower-income borrowers, buying Providian and other subprime lenders.
It plunged greedily into a dubious market with products such as high-fee Adjustable Rate Mortgages. The result was the biggest bank failure in U.S. history. Legions of borrowers lost their homes. Shareholders were wiped out. The whole country was sucked into recession.
A good question for the four Republican candidates for the 11th District seat is whether they believe government has a role to play in regulating financial markets.
Harmer supports regulatory reform, but contends Democrats are perpetuating the problem by continuing to hold that some banks and big companies are "too big to fail."
Harmer would not only let private companies suffer the consequences of bad decisions, he wants to abolish Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, federal mortgage corporations that buy and securitize mortgages.
"He says we need to get taxpayers off the hook," Clark said.
That's all very well - unless you believe Harmer himself was bailed out.


Dublin's Liffey Ferry No. 11 was once a common sight on the River Liffey, taking passengers across the river until it was decommissioned in 1984 (when the East Link Bridge opened). The service started in 1665, when it was given a Royal Charter by King Charles II — and went on to last more than 300 years.
Services restarted on 11th February 2019. and the ferry will have capacity for 18 passengers at a time. It costs €2 for each 3 minute journey (point to point).
Sir John Rogerson's Quay is a 10-15 minute walk from Grand Canal Dock or Pearse Station.
We'll be looking at ways that we can integrate these new ferry connections onto our Dublin rail map over the coming weeks.
The Ferry is operated by the Irish Nautical Trust and is also used as a teaching / training platform to educate and train young people from the local area in a wide range of maritime skills.
