The paper studies the effects of alternative financing policies in the open economy. There is a non-trivial role for financing policy because of the failure of first-order debt neutrality due to uncertain private lifetimes. Both the single-country case and the interdependent two-country case are considered. Capital formation is endogenous and there are unified global financial and goods markets determining the interest rate, each country's "Tobin's q" and the terms of trade. The government's present value budget constraint or solvency constraint and the assumption that the interest rate exceeds the growth rate imply that, given spending, current tax cuts imply future tax increases. Such policies boost the outstanding stock of public debt, raise the world interest rate, crowd out capital formation at home and abroad, and lead to a loss of foreign assets. Provided a "supply-side-response-corrected" transfer criterion is satisfied, the terms of trade will improve in the short run and worsen in the long run.

Q: Conversion shapefile's coord system from: GCS_Assumed_Geographic_1 to WGS '84 I have my shapefile in ArcMap 10.8.1 with this coordinate system:
Geographic Coordinate System:   GCS_Assumed_Geographic_1
Datum:  D_North_American_1927
Prime Meridian:     Greenwich
Angular Unit:   Degree
I want to convert in in WGS 84 but I failed.
I opened one blank map, from view I set WGS 84, I uploaded a basemap, and them from Define projection, I set the coord system to WGS 84, but it did not load correctly.
Any idea?
Ps* maybe it is  ESRI,104000?

Q: Return different df based on condition Have 2 dataframes (foo and bar), but only want to export the dataframe with more rows to a csv. Unsure of how to populate a function that does this. My assumption is that it could look something like the below, but this only returns blank dataframes for x.
x = pd.DataFrame()

def longer():
    if len(foo) > len(bar):
        return foo
    else:
        return bar

x.apply(longer()).to_csv('x.csv')

Hoping this is a quick and easy answer--thanks so much!

A: If all you want is to export the larger DataFrame, it seems like this would be a lot simpler:
max(foo, bar, key=len).to_csv('x.csv')

Or if you also want to keep a reference to the larger one for further use:
larger = max(foo, bar, key=len)
larger.to_csv('x.csv')

Sudden death: 'The great beauty of grief is its clarity'
By Kristine Carlson
Updated: 15:01 EDT, 5 June 2010
Writer Kristine Carlson had an idyllic life: a loving marriage to the author of bestselling self-help books Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, and two beautiful daughters. Then in 2006 her husband Richard died suddenly, at the age of 45, of a pulmonary embolism on a flight to New York. Overcome with shock and grief, now Kristine found herself sweating the big stuff…
Kristine and Richard with their daughters Jasmine and Kenna at home in 2005
My life changed with a phone call. Thinking Richard was calling to let me know his plane had landed, I picked up my mobile expecting to hear his voice at the other end. Instead, a man asked me if I was related to Richard Carlson. 'Who wants to know?' I replied curtly. He was a well-known author and we'd had our share of over-eager fans.
'This is the Jamaica Memorial Hospital in Queens…'
'Yes, I am Richard's wife. Is he all right?' I was already thinking of how I could get to New York as quickly as possible.
'No, we are sorry to inform you that Mr Carlson has expired.'
I felt like I was going to throw up. I had heard about the body's visceral response to news it cannot digest but never experienced it. I began to get really angry, thinking this was a hell of a prank call. I screamed: 'What? Expired? Expired? What kind of a word is expired, anyway?' I was desperate to believe that he was kidding and kept asking, over and over again, 'How do I know this is real?' Then he described what had happened on Richard's flight and I knew. They said he was asleep when he died. A blood clot released from his leg travelled to his lung as the plane began to descend. It had been mercifully quick and painless.
I began to make noises I had never made in my life. Like an animal suffering, like the screams I had heard beyond our window late one night when some small creature was about to be slaughtered by a coyote. This cry was coming from somewhere deep inside me: I wanted to die too, with my true love, that day. I don't really know how long I screamed but my throat felt scorched.
Suddenly I could see my daughters' faces: Jasmine and Kenna. I knew that the one thing worse than this would be a phone call telling me something had happened to them. Survival impresses itself upon us even when we think we don't want to live. A friend subsequently sent me a bereavement card in which she wrote: 'Think of what you would die for and live for that'.
There is something inherently unfair when death comes unexpectedly. No time to feel the brush of his fingertips on mine, no hushed intimacies or farewells. Richard left and grief moved in. But the great beauty of grief is its clarity. It has a way of thrusting you into the present.
A snap of Richard and Kristine in 1999; Richard and Kenna on holiday in 2002
One morning I sat in the kitchen, sipping my coffee in the early pre-dawn. We had sat there in conversation almost every morning of our lives together. Minutes before, I had shuffled in, barely awake, routinely reached for our two favourite mugs and set them side by side on the counter, just as I had done thousands of times. There was a sudden knot in my stomach as reality hit. What was I doing? It is the small things, the rituals of how you live together, that are the most meaningful – drinking coffee, the way your feet curl together in bed at night, passing the toothpaste back and forth and talking while it dribbles down your faces.
We take these small experiences for granted when we think we have a lifetime left together. There had never been a challenge that Richard and I could not tackle together. I had lived a life of affirmation alongside a man who became the foremost 'happiness expert' in the world. Now, as I sat facing this void of loneliness and despair in the quiet of the morning, one empty coffee mug beside my full one, I realised the only way I could live through this greatest challenge of all was by surrendering to grief completely.
On my better days, I experienced a calm sense of wellbeing. But on all those other days I knew that with every step forward I was leaving Richard behind. His presence was everywhere – his shirts at the bottom of the laundry basket, his shoes in the wardrobe. I called his voicemail just to hear his voice. You don't ever think you will be a widow at 43. I missed his maleness: he had a wonderful way of disarming the emotional drama of life with his grounding presence and peaceful perspective.
I chose the same path Richard would have chosen had our situations been reversed – to gravitate towards joy and seek it out
I needed my friends. Some just sat with me, walked with me or hugged me when I asked them to. Others expected me to survive this with nothing but grace or were surprised that I wasn't recovering faster. Jazz and Kenna would come home from school and tell me they felt like screaming when their friends asked, 'What's wrong?' Had they simply forgotten what was so obviously wrong?
People want to be kind and say the right thing but they don't always know how. It tested my patience when people pretended they understood how I was feeling. What was worse was hearing people say, 'He's in a better place.' I would fight back the temptation to reply, 'He may well be but that is little comfort to us now.'
'I'm sorry for your loss' is perhaps the emptiest expression. 'Loss?' I wanted to scream: 'I didn't lose him. He's gone.' Richard was not misplaced, somewhere to be found. Few words offer much good, and words which suggest how someone is supposed to be in grief are particularly annoying. Many said, 'It's good for you and the girls to keep busy,' and I would think, 'No, it's really not.'
The people who told me how to be, who presumed to know what they could not possibly understand, helped me nonetheless. They allowed me to get angry, a vital expression of grief. Before Richard died I must have said some ridiculous things to people too. The right words are hard to find. Losing Richard taught me that some moments just require a hug and no words at all. I learned after being cracked wide open by grief that society wants to hide pain; it wants us to stay busy and cover it up. But it messes you up to stay busy. You have feelings that surface unpredictably and you have to move with them, like a tree bending in a stiff wind. Resistance will snap you. As I learned to trust my responses to whatever people said, elegant or clumsy (for I knew that they were all, in their way, trying to lift me up), I began to understand how important it was to let go. We were not the family to be envied any more. We were a family in crisis.
There were days when I longed for him. I would go into his office where, even now, his leather jacket sits where he left it on his desk chair and fold it around my shoulders. I would fold a T-shirt from the dirty laundry, keep it in a plastic bag to preserve the scent and bury my face in it, breathing him in as if I were hugging him tight. I wasn't ever sure if that helped or made things worse. I felt abandoned by Richard. I cried, 'How did you let this happen?' when I looked at his photograph, as though death had been a conscious choice. Finally, nine months later in the beauty of autumn, I simply woke to a different voice. The words were loud and clear: He didn't leave you; he died.
Kristine and Richard jet-skiing on Lake Powell near the Grand Canyon; celebrating Kristine's 40th in Italy in 2003
Accepting personal responsibility was a cornerstone of Richard's teaching, as well as one of the most important guiding principles of our lives together. But how do you take personal responsibility for something like this? I decided I had to separate that which was under my control from that which was not, and take responsibility for how to live on. I could no more have prevented his death than I could have controlled the changing seasons or the traffic lights at the end of our road. The rest of my life was waiting for me.
I chose the same path Richard would have chosen had our situations been reversed – to gravitate towards joy and seek it out. To live a full life you have to live all of it. I cannot cherry-pick life's blessings and beauty without also keeping my heart open to its pain and sorrow.
It is what it is – as we used to tell the girls when they were little, after we groped for answers to their questions and couldn't come up with good ones. I told myself what we used to tell Jazz and Kenna when our family was complete: learn to accept life as it is, not as you think it should be or as you want it to be. That is the true secret of living a happy, contented life.
Richard lived every day as though he could die at any time. 'Picture yourself at your own memorial service,' he once wrote. The day before he died, he left a note on the driver's seat of my car: 'You are everything to me. I love you so much. Thank you for being my partner.' I did not leave him a note or even have time to speak with him that fateful morning, so in vulnerable moments I ask myself: did he die knowing how much I loved him?
Richard's presence was everywhere – his shirts at the bottom of the laundry basket, his shoes in the wardrobe. I missed his maleness
My life has been simplified in many ways. Living in the moment, I am not consumed with pleasing others or with whether or not the details of life are going to work out perfectly. I have learnt that fear is a way of holding on rather than letting go. The most pain we can encounter in life is being separated from those we love. We can lose our money, our homes, even our dreams – but when death comes so suddenly, the natural order is upset. There is nothing harder.
Letting go comes in layers. One year after Richard died I had a strong desire to start organising his things. I gave some of his clothing to charity. I sent some of his favourite shirts to an artist who is going to design a quilt, embroidered perhaps with some of his book titles.
I don't sweat the small stuff. I have learnt to let go of the little things. For I have discovered that time flies fast and life changes in a heartbeat.

3M Bair Hugger Warming BlanketSerious Deep Joint Infections Associated with Forced Air Warming Device
3M Bair Hugger Litigation Cases Handled by an Experienced Tampa Medical Device Attorney
For the last several years, forced hot-air warming blankets have been commonly used on patients during hip and knee joint replacement surgery in the operating room. The Tampa law firm of Alley, Clark & Greiwe is investigating claims of individuals who developed serious infections after being placed under a forced hot air warming blanket like the 3M Bair Hugger system. In 2013, more than 50,000 Bair Hugger units were in use in the U.S. and Bair Hugger is used in almost all total joint replacement surgeries.
If you or someone you love suffered an injury following the use of a Bair Hugger Blanket, speak to a Tampa medical device attorney at our firm today to explore your legal options.
What is Forced-Air Warming?
Forced-air warming systems, fluid warming systems, intravenous fluid warming, and warming blankets often are used during surgery to help maintain a patient's core body temperature as close to normal as possible and prevent hypothermia. Studies show that keeping patients warm during surgery causes less bleeding and a faster recovery.
Problems with the Bair Hugger Warming Blanket
With a device like 3M's Bair Hugger system, which was approved by the FDA in 1998, warm air from a heater/blower is forced into a flexible hose connected to a blanket that is draped over a patient's body during surgery. Apparently, the Bair Hugger can take in air from the operating room floor that may contain bacteria and recirculate the contaminated air to a wound site.
The most serious potential problem with utilizing a Bair Hugger warming blanket are deep joint infections, especially in the hip and knee during replacement surgeries. Common treatments for these infections include a combination of surgical procedures and antibiotic therapy. In severe cases, amputation, joint fusion, or removal of knee or hip implants as well as a two-stage revision surgery may be necessary. Patients who are not candidates for a second surgery are usually treated with long-term antibiotic suppression.
Medical Studies on Bair Hugger
A study in the March 2013 issue of The Bone & Joint Journal indicated waste heat from forced-air warming blankets like the Bair Hugger can increase the temperature and concentration of airborne particles over the surgical site. Air currents lifted up from the floor can potentially carry contaminated particles from below the operating table into the surgical site.
An article published in Anesthesia & Analgesia (August 2013) determined that forced-air devices could present a potential risk for infection in prolonged vascular and hip surgery. It said that forced-air warming "was found to establish convection currents that mobilized resident air from nonsterile areas (under the anesthesia drape) upward and into the surgical site."
Contact a Tampa Medical Device Attorney at Our Firm to Discuss Your Rights as a Bair Hugger Blanket Victim
A number of 3M Bair Hugger injury lawsuits have been filed by patients across the country who had hip or knee replacements and developed deep joint infections. If you or a loved one developed an infection following hip or knee replacement, please contact a Tampa medical device attorney at Alley, Clark & Greiwe for important information regarding your legal rights.

On the surface, it's sometimes hard to distinguish coaching from therapy. Both services provide support to the individual to help them move from their current place to somewhere else they would like to be in the future. Most of us long to achieve something new and discover more of our self. Our desire for achieving great things along with many other societal factors, has contributed to the momentous growth and popularity of coaching. Unfortunately, one of the key factors that sometimes drives individuals to coaching is the stigma that if you seek therapy, there is something "wrong or broken with you.
While there are definitely key differences between coaching and therapy, some of the most famous architects of psychotherapy like Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow also had a great influence on the science and art of professional coaching. According to professional coach, Patrick Williams*, "Adler and Jung in particular, saw individuals as the creators and artists of their lives and frequently involved their clients in goal setting, life planning, and inventing their futures — all tenets and approaches in today's coaching. In the mid twentieth century, Carl Rogers wrote his monumental book, Client-Centered Therapy.
Coaching was born as a result of great advances in psychotherapy and counseling, then blended with consulting practices and organizational and personal development training trends (ie. the humanistic movement of the last several decades, EST, LifeSpring, LandMark Forum, Tony Robbins and many others). Coaching takes the best of each of these areas has to offer and provides a now standardized and proven method for partnering with people for success.
While therapy and coaching may share a common background, it's important not to confuse the two.
Therapy is vital for those with psychological problems and necessary for anyone who needs to address pain or trauma in their past or current life situation. Coaching tends to work better for individuals who have a dealt with these unavoidable life issues and who have a more solid foundation for moving forward. A therapist may add coaching skills to their practice, but a coach does not engage in therapy. Reputable coaches are trained to detect the need for therapy with clients and have a responsibility to make referrals when necessary.

Labour's 'broken' vow on Southampton's libraries
By James Franklin
LABOUR in Southampton have been accused of breaking a manifesto pledge to protect the city's libraries by one of its former councillors.
Andrew Pope has accused his former party colleagues of "lying" to the city's residents after they put forward plans to stop running six libraries, three years after a manifesto pledge to keep them open.
But Labour council bosses say they are operating in a different world than before they came to power in 2012, and must find £90m of savings to meet ongoing Government cuts.
As revealed in the Daily Echo earlier this week, Cobbett Road, Burgess Road, Thornhill, Weston and Millbrook libraries could all close next year.
Labour council chiefs are looking at plans to save £286,000 a year and shed six jobs to stop running the facilities, although they insist they will remain open if community groups step in.
Now Redbridge councillor Andrew Pope, who left Labour after the party's General Election defeat to become an Independent, has taken another swipe at his former colleagues.
He referred to a line in Labour's pledges made before the party came to power in 2012, which says: "We will keep local libraries and Sure Start centres open and expand the services they offer".
He said: "I'm totally outraged at the idea that a Labour council can close libraries in poor areas.
"Not only that but Labour lied to the public in 2012 when they said the would keep libraries open in their manifesto pledge.
"Some of them, such as Cllr Kaur are putting their careers ahead of their principles.
"The biggest impact will be on children. They will be losing out on access to books and reading at an early age which is vital to allow them to get on in their lives."
and lots of adults will now not have access to a wider range of education than they would have done."
Hitting back, Cllr Kaur said: "I think the world we lived in then is very, very different to the world we live in now.
"We have had to save more than £70m and we are looking to save an additional £90m.
"If we had a Labour Government right now the funding cuts to local authorities would be a lot fairer then they are right now.
"We are trying to deal with the cards we have been dealt, but the consultation shows we can still run an efficient library service."
She denied claims that she was "putting her career ahead of her principles".
, she said: "I think it's the case that all cabinet members are working extremely hard and are dedicating a lot of time to ensure we serve Southampton in a very difficult time."

especially true, considering the original game boy had a black and green screen.
I have to now say that I am starting to like the graphics, I have seen some more footage and after comparing the original and the new version I have decided to order it when it comes out. It does look like a really fun game. I hope they come out with more Zelda games.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a cat cafe? Many cat lovers find the idea irresistible but it's not all cute kitties and cappuccino. As cat cafes keep popping up in record numbers, there is a downside. We update our extensive cat cafe directory monthly and for the first time, we are noticing closures due to lack of customers or poor business practices.
One cat cafe who is doing it right for all the right reasons is The Cat Cafe Lounge in Los Angeles. A few months ago I spoke with the owner Kristi Labrenz Galvan and she shared her long journey of finding the cat cafe's heart and home, and why being a nonprofit was important. I couldn't visit the cafe in person so I enlisted two local friends, Chase Holiday and Connie Cunningham to visit and this is their report.
Connie Cunningham interviewed Kristi and supplied the exclusive pics and her honest opinion. Connie is better known on Instagram as @socalconnie and has one of the biggest hearts I know. She volunteers at Milos_sanctuary a special needs cat rescue and manages the social media for @sirthomastrueheart aka Tommy, their lion-hearted spokescat. He survived an acid attack, lost an eye but found his calling. He is even doing a meet and greet at CatCon this summer along with other rock star kitties like Lil Bub.
Chase Holiday, created the video. She is an all around creative known for her clever and funny cat videos Furball Fables and Crafty Kitty Cats. Her black cat Buddha is featured in our award-winning Black Cats Tell All book and Chase did our book trailer video. Both Connie and Chase are serious cat lovers and advocates. Do follow them on social. Enjoy the cat cafe right meow.
Stairway to kitty paradise. Please note: the cafe is on the second floor and there is no elevator.
The CatCafé Lounge recently opened in Los Angeles California. It's a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit with all entry fees are tax deductible. This was my first visit to cat café and I was excited to find out what the buzz was about. The cafe is located in West L.A. at 1736 S. Sepulveda Blvd. right off the 405 freeway and Santa Monica Blvd. Parking was no problem, which is a nice benefit in the Los Angeles area. The café is on the second floor with no elevator, so if you have any physical disabilities, call ahead and see if they can assist you.
Entering the café you immediately see the cat area through a very large window. For health code reasons cats and food prep must be kept separate. In the lobby they offer assorted drinks and snacks and also their own branded t-shirts and cute cat jewelry that you can purchase.
Next you enter a double door area to prevent cats from escaping and leads to the large airy cat lounge.
It's a nice large spacious area with many places for you to sit, relax and enjoy the cats. The whole area is amazing if you sit back and take it all in. There are catified shelves on the walls for the cats to sleep on perch or to use to travel throughout the room, there are also cat beds, toys and places to scratch throughout the area.
My favorite is the enormous tree in the middle of the room with "branches" that lead to the walls. What a beautiful creative idea! Here's another view. Every area is thoughtfully designed by Kristi's sister-in-law who is an architect.
There are cat tunnels are strategically placed around the space that lead to a private area so that cats can get some alone time, if they feel the need.
Cats rules the roost and can be found at every level. They prefer when you get down to their level.
If you don't want to sit on the spotless floor, you can sit on cushions or chairs.
The CatCafé Lounge works with local rescues to help cat get adopted. Kristi, the café owner, tells me that she will often request the shyest cats, who often get overlooked so they can get a chance to become socialized and have a better chance of finding their forever home.
It's all about the cats. And having fun until they find their forever homes.
I was also shown the future outdoor catio area currently under construction. I can envision the potential of this space based on what they have accomplished inside, I'm sure the catio will be just as impressive.
The café is a great place to study, but they also have special events like cat yoga, comedy night, movie night and you can even hold your own private event there! They offer student and group discounts.
The CatCafe Lounge is a non-profit currently working with Stray Cat Alliance NKLA and SNPLA LA's largest low cost spay/neuter and wellness provider.
and meet the current residents of every and any stripe. Cute black kitties too!
Sign up for their newsletter for upcoming events and follow them across all social media.
We are proud to add CatCafe Lounge to our Cat Cafe Directory.
Do you have a cat cafe near you? Please let us know if someone is planning to open a cat cafe in your town or neighborhood.
Amazing and well thought out catification! Thanks for sharing this, Layla.
There was a trial run of a pop up Cat Cafe in New Haven, CT. My husband Rick and I visited last year.
http://www.shelter-cats.com/2017/12/mew-haven-cat-cafe/ They were fund raising and hoping to open on a more permanent basis. I think they're still waiting for zoning permissions.
Maggie, please keep me in the loop about the opening.
BEAUTIFUL CAFE!!! We wish them the very best and like the fact that they are non profit. Like we all knew would be the case some of these cafes were solely for the owners profit and to be the "thing" of the moment and not for the best interest of the cats. These should not have opened to start with so we can only celebrate their closure. The ones that truly wanted to help cats we regret that they may not survive and thrive. We are totally pro cat and hope that they can rework ,survive and thrive.
Luvs to all that luvs them kitties!
Thanks, and I'd like to see more nonprofits too. More shelters are getting involved sometimes on site. Successful cafes require ongoing revenue and funding.
That looks a great place for cats and people.
Very unique awesome place. Never seen anything like it. Good work Kristi!
Wow, I spent about an hour just looking at this, and dreaming of all the fun cats and humans have at this cat cafe. Thanks for enlightening us, Layla.
Thanks, Kathryn. I'm curious if you've been to the cat cafe in Boston?
That looks amazing. The cat tree in the middle is cool.
That does look like a nice place and I'm so happy to hear that the shy ones are getting a chance too.
This cat cafe looks really cool! I wish they would open up a branch in northeast L.A. – it's too far for my human to visit easily.

Dead wrong…or right. It is always better to focus on what is right even if risk is involved.
"Be careful little lips what you say" is an old time phrase used in a song sung to little kids a while back. In one sense, this is a powerful warning to set a guard on what we say. Psalm 141:3 speaks directly to this. And what we say is so powerful, it could be compared to being an arsonist. Look at James 3:3-6 for even more about how what we say can be highly destructive.
Yes, we need to exercise some caution when speaking. However, when you are involved in a conversation over a beer with Christian buds or with the top pagans in the city and you know you are about to introduce something into the conversation that probably will result in some unpleasant or confused reactions, what do you do? If God whispered in your heart and told you to say it because it is right, would that make a difference?
Jesus cared deeply about what was right and spoke truth into conversations even though He knew it would make people angry or confused but it was necessary. Jesus seemed to risk his reputation everywhere He went. Sometimes it was intentional and others it was the result of who He was.
One such instance in Matthew 12:46-50 is one of those. Think about just hearing this without the background you and I have with the Bible in our homes and apartments. Jesus stretched the understanding of everyone who heard Him or heard about this. Think about the implications of being connected to Jesus in this way. Believing the stuff Jesus said is one thing, but doing what He said is the indicator that you or I are Jesus' brother or sister. Would He be able to speak to you or me as one of His brothers or sisters?

If anyone is interested, and works for a company that is pretty open minded about internet use, I'm going to the track tomorrow and saturday, and Motormania TV will be live streaming the event. It is an all door car event, so there wont be any dragsters there. There will probably be close to 300 entries though, so it will take awhile to cycle thru. I do plan on double entering on Friday, but not on Saturday.
I'll tune in. I assume you're racing the mustang?
Last edited by gt350hr on Fri Nov 17, 2017 3:04 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Yep, first time run it went 6.221@109.6.
First round, first entry (I double entered), it went 6.246 on a 6.24 for the W.
Left the 6.24 on the window for the second entry, and went 6.241 for the W.
Second round, the temp dropped about 15*, so I dialed it 6.23. But then turned it red, and went, you guessed it, 6.245.
That entry was done, so I bumped the dial back up to 6.24, adjusted the box for the redlight, and went back up. And the temp dropped even more, and the humidity went up. I missed the tree, had the worst 60' of the day, the car went 6.252 against a former world champion, add all that together and it meant my day was done.
I'm going back tomorrow, but only with one entry and try it again.
Yesterday wasnt great, but I guess it could have been worse.
I am so far behind on seat time, that the guys at a race like that are on a different level than I am right now and it puts me behind before I ever unload the car.
Our one and only time run, the car picked the front wheels up, then hiccuped. It hasnt done that in 4 or 5 yrs, and I had fixed the issue that was causing it back then. I figured based off the air from the day before that it knocked two numbers off the sixty foot, which then put the rest of the pass behind right away. I knew I had missed the tree as well, and the car went 6.302 @ 109.19.
The air wasnt as good as Friday, so for first round I took a stab at a dial in. If I wouldnt have run Friday, I would have dialed it a 6.28. But since I ran Friday and the car went a lot faster than it had all year, I figured I better play it safe and put a 6.27 on it. Before this gets too long winded (good luck with that!), it felt good when I let go of the button, but it went .016 red (with the same time in the box I went .014 red the night before), and the car went 6.289. Oh hell, the car is too good to put it on the trailer, and I actually felt good letting go of the button on the last pass, I went and gave them money for the "re-entry". All the buybacks had to run each other, then if you won that round you got to go back in to second round. I added time to the box to set up for a .010 and dialed it a 6.28.
I was .012, went 6.287 @ 108.55 and got the W.
Left everything alone for second round, had a .021, caught the guy I was running, whacked it at stripe killing the mph back to 106.2, went 6.302 and got the W. The math showed it would have gone a low 6.29 wide open. 3rd round it had gotten clear dark. I dialed it 6.29. I was behind from the start. I was .022 to his .015, and all the car could muster was a 6.305 and I lost by .006 MOV.
I might be done for the year, if not I'm only going to go one more time, then I'm going to pull the motor out.
I want to change the heads on it, check to make sure the bearings all look good and nothing weird is going on in the bottom end, move the cam timing a couple of degrees, etc. I want to have everything done and be ready to start at the same time as everyone else next year so I'm on even footing with them.
I need to run leakdown on it first, I'm not real happy with how much blowby is still coming out of the breathers at this point.

A longtime mob informant will get another chance, after an appeals court granted his motion for a new trial.
Volkan "The Turk" Mergen wore a wire for more than a decade as an associate of the Gambino and Bonanno crime families. And while his cooperation might have earned him some good will from the feds, they were a little upset with him after he allegedly lied to FBI agents about an arson attack in which he participated.
In 2006, Mergen and several associates headed from Staten Island into New Jersey to pick up gas to be used later in an arson attack. Mergen had let his FBI handlers know the attack might be coming but, the FBI later said, failed to warn them on the day it was to be actually carried out. As preparations were underway, Mergen allegedly found the time to ring up "several" of his girlfriends, according to court records, but not the agents who oversaw him.
Mergen hadn't been authorized to participate in the crime, and the FBI said Mergan had deliberately failed to notify his handlers so he wouldn't lose his position as a paid informant; he likely would have been exposed as a snitch if the arson had been interrupted. Mergen said the FBI themselves botched the operation, and turned on him as a scapegoat. Mergen also alleged that his handlers told him, in a conversation he secretly recorded, that he'd done nothing wrong by participating in the attack, evidence that was later barred at trial.
When Mergen subsequently lied to his FBI handlers about a separate crime — the theft of three fake luxury watches worth about $75 — the feds decided they'd had enough. They revoked the special protections he'd been offered, and charged him with drug distribution, an aborted robbery and other offenses that occurred before he became an informant. They also hit him with crimes related to the Travel Act — which bars interstate travel in furtherance of a crime — stemming from his Jersey gasoline errand.
The appeals court now says a lower court screwed up when it allowed Mergen to be charged with the drug dealing and other crimes, since the statute of limitations had already expired. The court also said Mergen's surreptitiously recorded phone call with his FBI handler should have been admissible. Mergen, who remains in jail, will now have one more shot to avoid the charges.

Balotelli sparking Marseille revival and gunning for PSG
Issued on: 15/03/2019 - 13:02
Marseille's sudden recent revival has coincided with the arrival of Mario Balotelli, and they take on Paris Saint-Germain this weekend hoping for a long overdue victory against their old foes.
PSG have not lost any of their last 18 meetings with Marseille in all competitions since a 3-0 defeat at the Velodrome back in November 2011, the first game between the teams following the Qatari takeover in Paris.
The fixture has lost some of its lustre as a result, with Marseille only managing three draws in the 'Classique' in all that time.
Most recently, PSG won 2-0 in Marseille in October, a result which came at the start of a dreadful run of form for Rudi Garcia's team as they won just three times in 18 games in all competitions, a slump that saw them dumped out of both domestic cups and the Europa League.
But then Balotelli arrived, and OM quickly started winning again -- five wins and a draw in their last six games have seen Marseille move back to within three points of the top three in Ligue 1.
Finishing on the podium, and returning to the Champions League, is seen as essential for the southern giants -- still the only French side ever to have won the European Cup -- and their American owner Frank McCourt.
Since signing from Nice on a short-term deal at the end of January, Balotelli has scored five times in seven games, his last two goals being followed by memorable celebrations -- a group selfie immediately posted to Instagram, and then a game of rock-paper-scissors.
The former Manchester City striker's impact on his teammates has been considerable.
"The mentality, the mindset on the pitch are different now," midfielder Kevin Strootman, who ironically has lost his place in the side in recent weeks, told sports daily L'Equipe.
"If we want to keep fighting for a top-three place, and get into the Champions League, we have to show that we are capable of winning the big matches."
- What welcome for PSG? -
There could be a tense atmosphere at the Parc des Princes, with PSG facing their home support for the first time since the crushing disappointment of their Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester United.
Thomas Tuchel's side faced verbal abuse and taunts from angry fans when they returned to training last weekend, before winning 4-0 at struggling Dijon in a rearranged game on Tuesday.
The fall-out from their European debacle continues, and outcast midfielder Adrien Rabiot -- who has been sidelined after refusing to sign a new contract -- has now been suspended.
According to L'Equipe, Rabiot was punished for a nightclub visit in the wake of the United game, and for 'liking' a video posted on social media by former United player Patrice Evra celebrating the result in the stands at the Parc des Princes.
PSG remain untouchable in France -- they are 17 points clear of second-placed Lille at the top of the table with a game in hand and have won all 14 of their home fixtures.
Elsewhere, Lyon will look to bounce back from their Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona as they host Montpellier on Sunday.
After being eliminated from the Europa League in the last 16 by Arsenal, Rennes go to Bordeaux, who will be playing their first match under new coach Paulo Sousa.
"We have to congratulate the players for their remarkable run," said Rennes coach Julien Stephan after a 3-0 defeat in London saw them go out 4-3 on aggregate.
"We don't have the experience or the power of Arsenal, but we have learnt a lot, even if the experience ended in a painful manner."
Fixtures (all times GMT)

Indy Partnership helps spur job growth above Midwestern norm

Can a city battle climate change? Indianapolis wants to find out.
For the last half-decade, Indianapolis has shown greater job gains than any other large city in the Midwest. Local officials are understandably thrilled.
During the same period, the Indy Partnership has been responsible for the area's economic development. Few business leaders are willing to give it sole credit for Indianapolis' strong performance–but they're equally certain it's no coincidence.
"We've made great strides, and a lot of people are noticing that we're doing a good job," said Indy Partnership Interim CEO Gordon Hendry. "We're out there hustling for business."
Last month, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago released a letter titled, "Looking for diamonds in the rust: Midwest cities and job growth." Between 2000 and 2005, it reported, 12 Midwestern cities saw job gains above the national average. Iowa City, Iowa, and Madison, Wis., led the pack. But Indianapolis was the largest city to beat the Fed's expectations, outpacing major metropolises like Chicago and Detroit.
"Indianapolis was the only large city to experience job growth and exceed its expected growth rate," wrote Michael Munley, senior business economist for the Chicago Fed. "Indianapolis offers a strong competitive environment for many of its major industries, including … pharmaceutical manufacturing and insurance."
Last week, the Indy Partnership released its 2005 annual report, taking credit for spurring 23,122 new jobs and retaining another 41,907 in the last five years. Those jobs had a combined five-year payroll of $2.3 billion. Their employers invested $3.2 billion in the region.
Some question whether anyone local can claim responsibility for such gains.
Richard DeKaser, the Cleveland-based chief economist for National City Bank, pointed to macroeconomic trends that affect everyone. During the past half-decade, he noted, the entire U.S. economy experienced a recession and subsequent growth.
And the cities east of Indianapolis that saw more sluggish job gains are more closely tied to the American auto industry, DeKaser added. Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland are more likely to sink or swim based on the performance of domestic car companies, he said. Indianapolis has aligned itself more closely with Japan.
"It's been the combination of a buoyant national economy and the Indianapolis area's industry mix," DeKaser said. "You can't really escape the national economy. It's like the sun. It's got this gravitational pull."
Still, the Indy Partnership's efforts clearly aren't hurting. With 16 employees and an annual budget of $2.7 million, the Indy Partnership is primarily a nexus of local business information. It provides answers to a ledger's worth of expansion or relocation questions, speeding executives through the process of site selection, work-force assessment and incentive negotiations. It toils in conjunction with elected officials and parallel economic development organizations, such as the state's Indiana Economic Development Corp.
To attract attention, the Indy Partnership spends much of its time telling the Indianapolis story. Sometimes its employees travel to conventions and trade shows around the nation. At other times, it hosts delegations of consultants at swanky receptions in conjunction with major local events, such as the Final Four or the Indianapolis 500.
Perhaps its greatest contribution is its ability to eliminate parochialism. The Indy Partnership is responsible not just for the city, but for the whole central Indiana region, including Marion County and all its doughnut counties. Last year, the organization added Monroe and Tippecanoe counties to its efforts.
"The regional approach is critical. We are very much a partnership. One of the great successes of the Indy Partnership is that its collaborative spirit has put an end to the raiding of existing businesses across county lines," Hendry said. "A region sinks or swims together. By unifying our efforts … we are really putting our best foot forward."
Jason Tolliver, director of economic development for Indianapolis Power & Light Co., confirmed those sentiments.
"At one point in time, there was a fear it was going to be an Indianapolis-only organization, and it's not," he said. "When you look at the numbers, they're going in the right direction."
Take for example a recent win, specialty tool manufacturer Festool USA. Long based in Santa Barbara, Calif., Festool was ready to expand. It also wanted to consolidate warehousing from two separate facilities leased on opposite coasts to one central location it could own. Seeking information, Festool contacted Indy Partnership–as well as its equivalents in four other states.
Indy Partnership was the quickest to respond, said Festool CFO Brian Goldthorpe. It provided a wealth of data on land and labor availability, then explained how the state's tax restructuring would affect Festool's bottom line.
The payoff exceeded expectations: Festool is locating the warehouse here, but it's also moving its headquarters and 25 employees to Lebanon. In exchange for tax abatements, it expects to add 31 local jobs.
"If it wasn't for the help of the Indy Partnership, I'm not so sure we would have had such a positive image of the Indianapolis area," Goldthorpe said.
Results like that have convinced Indy Partnership's investors their money is well spent. Hoosier corporations provide nearly three-fourths of its income. The rest comes from the city of Indianapolis and the economic development budgets of each area county the partnership represents. Indy Partnership's annual reports show it has raised $15.2 million over the last half-decade, with expenses of $12.8 million.
Although that leaves a $2.4 million surplus, it won't sustain Indy Partnership for long. That's why a new capital campaign is being prepared. When asked, previous investors will likely pony up.
"It's awfully important we have that kind of effort out there. The city and region need to be competitive nationwide and beyond," said Ed West, senior vice president of corporate communications for WellPoint Inc. "You have to knock on doors to generate visibility. Put in the shoe leather and sweat equity to tell your story, and keep telling it. You've got to be enthusiastic and excited–you can't let down."
The only snag on the horizon for Indy Partnership appears to be the question of who's at the helm. Although local business leaders have nothing but praise for Hendry, he's the Indy Partnership's third leader in five years. What's more, the Indy Partnership hasn't removed the "interim" from his title.
Charlie Podell, senior vice president for Duke Realty Corp., is a member of the Indy Partnership's executive selection committee. He said a field of 80 potential candidates has been narrowed to about four. He hopes Indy Partnership can name its permanent CEO by the fall, to excite investors about the capital campaign.
"The leader drives the train," Podell said. "If you're throwing money in, you want to feel something good's going to happen."
Even if the Indy Partnership can match its previous performance, more of the same won't be enough to keep Indianapolis ahead of other Midwestern cities. The Chicago Fed's Munley warned there's still much work to be done.
"Most of [Indianapolis'] major industries have not been strong national performers, which might limit the city's potential," he wrote. "There are some factors, such as its climate, that the Midwest can do nothing about. But there are others–such as resolving issues related to legacy costs [such as police and fire pensions] and educating the work force to attract more businesses or different industries–that it can and will change over time."

John William Sutton at home in Wiltshire.
John Wm Sutton is one of the men named on the Bottesford 'church list' of WW1 Servicemen. He was remembered by the late Mrs Dorothy Beedham, whose papers have been essential in preparing these brief biographic notes.
John William Sutton was born in 1884 and baptised at Bottesford on the 4th January, 1885. He was the older son of William and Eliza Sutton, who kept a grocery shop on High Street, Bottesford. William Sutton was born in 1833, and married Eliza Lilley, 22, on the 23rd October 1866 at Bottesford.
In 1891, at the grocery shop there were four children, John William (6), Philip (4), Jane (3) and Ann (1). Philip Sutton would join the Durham Light Infantry in WW1, and tragically lost his life 24th March 1918.
Searches of the 1901 and 1911 censuses have been unable to determine John William's whereabouts or occupation in the pre-war years.
John William Sutton served as Private 30072, 8th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. No other details are available, except that an official letter, among Mrs Beedham's papers, reports that he was admitted on the 11th November, 1916, to hospital in France (No.4 General Hospital, Dannes Camiers) with a gunshot wound to his back.
He survived the war and lived in the Swindon area, Wiltshire. A note in 'Em's Tree' (Ancestry Public Family Trees) states that his sister, Jane, died in 1964 at Melton Mowbray, when John W. was 79 years old.
John WIlliam Sutton died at Swindon in 1977, aged 82.

Marin Software Integrates with Delacon's Call Tracking Solution
Lyndon Barnett
Call tracking, call analysis and bid optimisation rose to new heights today with the announcement that local leading-edge Sydney company, Delacon, has joined as an integration partner with global innovation giant, Marin Software – a leading online ad management platform (NYSE: MRIN).
The partnership between Marin Software and Delacon comes during an exciting period of growth for Marin Software, which on November 15, 2014 was ranked 83rd on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a listing of the who's who of companies behind the most exciting and innovative products and services in the technology space.
Delacon CEO, Michael Center said, "Many of the world's biggest brands rely on Marin Software to manage more than $5 billion of annualized advertising spend. It makes sense for Delacon to partner with Marin Software and bring the latest innovations in call tracking and analytics technology to Marin's ad management platform in Australia. The integrity and accuracy of our data combined with the proven ROI of the Marin platform is the reason why we see this partnership dominating the market in 2014 and we're not shy about having this bold statement put to the test."
Delacon's call tracking analytics captures intelligence on calls made and matches the data with telephone sales to the online marketing effort that originally captured a visitor's interest. Marin Software integrates this data into its online advertising management platform for search, social, mobile and display campaigns. Within Marin this data is turned into actions which helps optimise online advertising spend.
"Our integration with Delacon will enable our customers to have far greater insight into the relationship between online and offline conversions. This powerful partnership will provide Australian marketing professionals with full transparency of the value their activities are driving, and empower them to make actionable decisions to drive more conversions and optimise ROI," stated Roland Irwin, General Manager of Marin Software Australia.
Facts for Digital Marketers and Agencies
The Delacon and Marin Software partnership provides an opportunity for savvy digital marketers and agencies concerned about how to differentiate themselves in an ocean of competitors. The benefits of integrating call tracking data with a proven bid optimisation platform gives marketers a significant point of difference; ultimately positioning them ahead of their competitors.
The IBISWorld Industry Report M6941 "Advertising Agencies in Australia" (February 2013) highlights the trend by agencies to restructure towards greater integration and specialisation in differing advertising media.. The main driver of the trend has been competition among advertisers for clients that are increasingly demanding accountability and value for money.
From now up until 2017-2018, the industry is expected to further reinvent its services to be more inline with increasingly fragmented media and advertising environments. A greater share of advertising dollars will be chasing online consumers with IBISWorld forecasting that spending on online advertising will account for approximately 18 percent of total media advertising spend by 2017-2018, up from an estimated 13 per cent in 2012-2013.
