With one of his first articles, Professor Mohsen Manesh has boldly waded into a deep academic debate about the nature of regulatory competition for organization charters. There are a number of things I like about this paper, especially Manesh's instinct to look for empirical evidence. My advice for junior scholars is generally to think big, but write small. On balance, I found myself wishing this paper was smaller--not shorter, but smaller.
To understand Manesh's paper requires a background in the literature. In 2001, Marcel Kahan and Ehud Kamar published Price Discrimination in the Market for Corporate Law (Cornell L. Rev., vol. 86, p. 1257) and examined Delaware's fees and franchise taxes on corporations. I distinctly remember reading a working draft of the article over a stout while sitting in a pub during a business trip. Both the stout and the paper were excellent. Kahan and Kamar found that Delaware was able to charge a premium for the privilege of a Delaware incorporation. More controversially, they found that Delaware price discriminated by charging a higher price to publicly traded corporations, which were particularly likely to value Delaware corporate law. Together, these findings suggested Delaware enjoyed substantial market power in the market for incorporations. Although almost ten years has passed since Kahan and Kamar's article was published, there is no reason to think the situation has changed.
Manesh expands the methodology of Kahan and Kamar to the competition for LLC formation. He convincingly shows that Delaware neither charges a premium to form an LLC or price discriminates against small or large LLCs. Therefore, Manesh concludes (p. 26), "Delaware's relatively meager LLC tax suggests that, in the competition for LLC charters, Delaware lacks the kind of market power it has long enjoyed in the corporate context." But, Manesh's conclusion, does not necessarily follow from his evidence.
Kahan and Kamar observed evidence--Delaware's corporate fees and franchise tax have a particular structure indicative of market power. Manesh observes the absence of evidence--Delaware's LLC fees and taxes do have this structure. Observing the absence of evidence about a fact is not proof the fact does not exist. By looking at LLCs fees and taxes, we have looked under the street light, but are there darker places where there might be evidence of Delaware's market power in the competition for LLC charters?
One distinct possibility is that Delaware's accounting, finance, and legal professionals are able to extract a premium for their services related to Delaware LLC formation. Through their special-interest groups, these professionals would shape Delaware LLC law so as to attract LLCs and create market power. Under this hypothesis, Delaware's market power for LLCs would not line the state coffers but instead would line the pockets of some of its residents.
For my money, this argument makes an often-repeated mistake in legal scholarship. The legal academy is so drawn to normative argumentation that papers often spend more effort on the normative implication of a fact than on ensuring the fact is true. Manesh recognizes the possibility of interest-group dynamics in the formation of Delaware LLC law but does not consider whether these interest groups may be reaping the benefits of the market power that Manesh says does not exist.
In any event, there is no reason to think that lawyers benefit only (p. 79) from "an indeterminate, litigation-intensive LLC law." Furthermore, there is no reason that the relevant interest groups have to be lawyers. At former station at UNLV, I casually knew one person who was in the registered agent business and was active in ensuring that Nevada corporate law helped attract clients for that business. Consider the following business model. For a flat fee, a Delaware service--it does not necessarily have to be a law firm--processes thousands of LLC formations using a routinized set of documents. For another fee, the service will serve as a registered agent and generally monitor compliance to ensure the LLC stays in good standing. If Delaware has market power in LLC formation, the premium the firm extracts would not even have to be monetary. It might be that the business model allows its principals more leisure time. It might also be a business model that works for professionals who lack the licensing or perhaps the native ability to benefit from a litigation-intensive LLC law. Indeed, one can imagine a set of specialists who benefit from a litigation-intensive corporate law (big law firm partners and associates) and another set of specialists who benefit from a determinate, routinized LLC system (owners and employees of business services firms).
Contrary to the paper's assertions, there are reasons to think that a determinate and contractible (that is, the ability of the parties to modify by contract) law is exactly what would be most attractive to LLCs and hence give a state market power. Manesh's prototypical LLC is a classic business firm, one with customers and employees and sales and a coffee pot. In these firms, legal issues between owners will predominate, and the legal dynamics that Manesh identifies may be salient in the decision where to organize. Many LLCs and especially LLCs forming in Delaware, however, are probably not operating business firms. Rather, they are financial shells set up for legitimate purposes in securitizations or other financial transactions. In these firms, legal issues with third parties will predominate. For example, a creditor or a bankruptcy trustee might make a claim against the LLC's assets. In anticipation of such a claim, the parties forming the LLC would most value a state LLC law that was determinate and most certain to respect the LLC's separateness.
Because of the nature of the records, it is difficult to know how many new LLCs fit my hypothesized description. The trend in LLC filings from Manesh (p. 16), however, suggests that nonoperating LLCs may constitute a significant portion of the total Delaware LLC filings. First, the annual growth in LLC filings from 2003-2007 is high (24%, 28%, 10%, 15%) and well beyond the level of growth that would result from increased economic activity as implied by GDP growth during those years. Instead, the growth in LLC filings is more consistent with the growth rate in securtizations during those years. (See, e.g., the Fed's G.19 releases.) Also, a huge annual decrease (27%) in LLC filings occurs after the 2007 financial meltdown and again is more consistent with the relative huge decline in securitizations rather than the substantial but relatively smaller decline in economic activity.
None of the facts that I have hypothesized are necessarily true, but that returns me to the point where I began. I wish this article was smaller. This article is not necessarily wrong, but it has not laid the groundwork to convince a reader that it is probably right. Tellingly, the paper almost seems to recognize this point by starting the last paragraph with the summary phrase, "If this analysis is right . . ." With the evidence at hand, I think the paper could sustain an argument something along the following, "If Delaware has market power for LLCs, it's not showing up in the state's fees and taxes for LLCs. The market power might show up in the way some professionals charge and deliver their services. It might also show up in the following creative ways that Lawless is too dumb to imagine: <insert your list here>. These are the next steps in a long-term project on regulatory competition and LLCs."
Manesh has done a great job in the first part of the paper where he convincingly peels back the Delaware structure for LLC fees and taxes. He shows that this structure is nothing special, and that portion of the article is a strong contribution to the literature. Let's not kid ourselves, however. There are huge pressures on junior scholars to produce big, path-breaking works right from the start. The legal academy needs to give its junior scholars support to write smaller. Manesh continues the article with a bold swing at a broad and established literature on an important topic. It's an ambitious project, and there a lot of details to pin down. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

Learn What A Chromebook Can Do
Whether you own a Chromebook or not, right here is where you start learning how to use it. Interested in buying a Chromebook, but afraid they're a bit too different from Windows laptops and MacBooks? Or, perhaps you already own a Chromebook, but you've yet to explore its capabilities.
Basically, these are laptops with nothing but a browser, but not with the kind of weight the word "laptop" has come to carry with it.
You can work offline on a Chromebook. Read your Gmail and compose new messages, view your Google Calendar, edit documents in Google Drive…
What applications can I run on my Chromebook? – Mostly web-based applications, which Google just calls "Apps," but also Extensions, which latch directly onto the browser and allow for interaction and notifications.
No Outlook, nor Microsoft Office, Lotus, Skype, Photoshop, or anything with an installer. Chromebooks are meant to work on the web.
Working with attachments, thumb drives, or files is no problem. Chromebooks have lightweight file managers that can read from USB sticks, SD cards from cameras, and plugged-in storage devices, such as phones. The solid-state hard drives aren't big, maybe 16 to 32 Gb, but they're designed to be just big enough to hold a file, then upload it to a service like Picasa Web Albums, Dropbox, Google Drive, Gmail, or other places – which the file system provides quick links to.
What's the value of a Chromebook over a cheap netbook, or even an iPad? Chromebooks have a better keyboard and track pads than Netbooks, and obviously a much better keyboard than onscreen iPads keyboard. They also have tremendous battery life, fast boot-ups, and none of the maintenance and fiddling of a traditional Windows, Mac, or Linux system.

During the middle phase of his career, Guiseppe Verdi adopted new compositional procedures to create some of his best-known works. Focusing on the operas he composed during this period, this volume explores Verdi's work from three interlinked perspectives: studies of the original source material, cross-disciplinary analysis of musical and textual issues, and the relationship of performance practice to Verdi's musical and dramatic conception. In addition to offering new insights into operas such as "Il Trovatore", "La Traviata" and "Un Ballo in Maschera", this text also highlights works such as "Luisa Miller" and "Les Vepres Siciliennes". 62 musical examples

Q: How do i prevent a function being run more than once on a jquery .live event Ok i am reediting my post as i  think it could be more clear.
I have a ASP.net page with a gridview etc on.
On the result rows of the gridview is an image that when clicked opens up a modal popup window (basically a hidden div that is shown on click).
That modal, as it appears is populated dynamically by some ajax/json with a 2 column table, column 1 just text rows, column 2 combination of empty dropdown lists and check boxes.(these are all added to the DOM AFTER the main page load).
I am trying to populate the checklists with their available  via ajax/json when they are clicked by the user, and i only want this to happen on the first click only and no matter how many times the user clicks on that dropdown there after (even after going out of focus and back) i don't want to see more repeats of the same  appear.
Here is the code that currently works when the dropdown is clicked, that is the dropdown is populated. Te problem is if i loose focus and then re-click the dropdown, it gets repopulated with a duplicate list of :

    $('#FSSiteName').live('focus', function () {
        var $this = $(this);
        getFSSites();
        //i thought the below line would stop it happening again when i click on the dropdown
    $this.unbind('focus');
});

 function getFSSites() {
            var ddSites = $("#FSSiteName");
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "Circuits_OrderManagementTracker.aspx/getTheSitesList",
                data: "{}",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType: "json",
                success: function (response) {
                    var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(response.d);
                    var xml = $(xmlDoc);
                    var FSSitesReturned = xml.find("Table");

                    $.each(FSSitesReturned, function (index, FSSitesReturned) {
                        dbname = $(this).find("SiteNames").text()
                        ddSites.append('<option>' + dbname + '</option>');
                    });
                },
                failure: function (msg) {
                    alert(msg);
                }
            });
        }

I have changed to the code below on suggestions by your good selves, but when i do the below my dropdown list no longer gets populated and i also tried .one() which ad the same effect.

         $('#FSSiteName').on('click', function () {
            var $this = $(this);
            //run your alert here if it´s necessary
            //alert('Focused for the first time :)');
            getFSSites();
            //unbind the event to prevent it from being triggered again
            $this.off('click');
         });

Hope this is a bit clearer to anyone wishing to help.

A: The opposite of live() is die() but both are deprecated, you should use on() and off instead.

A: It's simple using on and off.
on() -> add an evend handler
off() -> remove an event handler
$("#item li").on('click', function () {
    $(this).text('ITEM CLICKED')
    alert('CLICKED');

    //remove the event
    $(this).off("click")
});

see this example: http://jsfiddle.net/jMxxa/
Jquery documentation for on and off:
on: http://api.jquery.com/on/
off: http://api.jquery.com/off/

A: Agree with Varnie's comment to use .one instead of .live().
$('#FSSiteName').one('focus', function () {
        getFSSites();
 });

Live() is intended for use with elements that are dynamically added to the DOM; elements that do not exist when the page is first loaded in the browser. Since your element has an id selector, not a class selector, I'm assuming you don't need to use .live()/.on() at all.

A: Hi All thank you for your help, this is really one of the best sites i have got to know as a learner.
i have put in a solution myself which seems to do the trick, however being so new to coding, i would appreciate feedback if i have done something that is not ideal and there is a better simpler solution.
i re edited my OP to be more clear see above and that still stands, however i changed some of my code to merely check if the dropdown was empty of  and it works ok see:

         $('#FSSiteName').live('click', function () {
             var $this = $(this);
             //Check if the dropdown has any options and if no add some
             if ($this.find('option').length <= 1) {
                 getFSSites();
             }
             else {
                //Do Nothing!!
             }
         });

NSA Cyber Safety Guide Suggests Simple Steps
NSA Cyber Safety Guide
At a briefing for security personnel this year, he same he had received some recommendations on the way to facilitate keep his radio telephone safe. close up the phone. flip it on once more. That's it. In times of digital insecurity, it's been found that the oldest and simplest laptop fix out there – turning off a tool and restarting it – will stop hackers from stealing information from smartphones. Regular reboots of cyber criminals or spy-related mercenaries won't stop the US from sowing the seeds of chaos and suspicion with the power to stay any info secure and confidential in our digital lives.
However it will work even the foremost refined hackers tougher to keep up access and steal information from phones. Neal Ziring, technical director of the National Security Agency's Department of Cyber Security, said. The United States intelligence agency last year issued a best observe guide to protective mobile devices. associate degree freelance King of Pine Tree State says rebooting the phone is currently a part of his routine. I d most likely say it once per week, whenever I feel regarding it, he said. nearly always accessible, seldom clean up, and containing immense stores of private and sensitive information, cellphones area unit a target for hackers to steal text messages, contacts, and photos, also as track users' locations and even on the Q.T. activate their videos and mike security specialists. And St. Patrick Wardle, a former United States intelligence agency man of science, said, I perpetually consider phones as our digital soul.
The quantity of individuals whose phones area unit hacked each year is unknown, however, the proof suggests it's important. A recent investigation into phone hacking by the globe Media association has to political unrest in France, India, Hungary, et al. during a leaked list of researchers believed to be a possible target for many journalists, human rights activists, and politicians. Israeli hackers for rent agency. reflective the suggestion of rebooting a phone sporadically, as a part of however high hackers area unit gaining access to mobile devices and uncover one thing that's on the Q.T. infected by operating with none user interaction rather than attempting to relinquish users alleged zero-click user emergence changes.
This evolution happened while not a target click on the Dodge link, same Bill Markazak, a senior man of science at the national research lab, an online civil rights watchdog at the University of Torno. however it's become additionally sophisticated as a result of phone manufacturers like Apple and Google have robust protection against block malware from the first operative systems, Ziring same. It's extraordinarily tough for associate degree offenders to enter that level to realize perseverance, he said. This encourages hackers to settle on in-memory payloads that build it harder to spot and trace the one who sent them. Such hacks might not survive re-booting however area units are typically not required as a result of many folks seldom close up their phones. Opponents accomplished they didn't have to be compelled to continue, Wardell same.
If they may pull all of your chat messages and your contacts and your passwords along directly and reveal it thoroughly, it'd be nearly any approach, right? a powerful marketplace for hacking tools presently exists which will split into phones. Some firms, like Gerodium and Crowdfence, brazenly provide lots of greenbacks in zero-click work. And hacker-for-hire firms that sell mobile-device hacking services to government and enforcement agencies have dilated in recent years. the foremost well-known is that the Israel-based NSA cluster, whose spyware researchers say was used around the world to interrupt into the phones of human rights activists, journalists, and even members of the Catholic priesthood.
In line with the Washington Post, the NSA cluster is that the latest during a report by a media association coverage that the agency's spyware tool, Pegasus, was utilized in thirty-seven cases to with success hack the phones of business executives, human rights activists, and others, in line with the Washington Post. The corporate has defendant u.s. of targeting nearly one,400 users of its encrypted electronic messaging service WhatsApp with zero-click exploits. The NSA cluster says it solely sells its spyware to tested government agencies to be used against terrorists and major criminals. the corporate didn't reply to a call for participation for comment. NSA Spyware Consistency Company was a sales center. some years past, its U.S primarily based subsidies provided enforcement agencies with a phone-hacking tool that will survive a mill reset of a phone, in line with documents obtained by Vice News.
However, Marczak, WHO has been closely observant of the NSA group's leaders for many years, the same that the corporate seems to own started mistreatment of the primary zero-click tool, that was abandoned in 2019, and the same that spyware had been put in. In 2020, Markak and the national research lab NSA cluster uncovered another zero-click hack that targeted many Al Jazeera journalists. therein case, the hackers used Apple's pictures text service. None of the targets was something to report on their screens. so one is totally invisible also as doesn't need any user interaction, Marczak same. With powerful tools like casting off them, Marczak same that rebooting your phone will do very little to prevent the supposed hackers.
Once you bring it up, they'll merely send another zero-click. It's simply a distinct model, it's perseverance through re-integration, he said. The United States intelligence agency guide additionally acknowledges that rebooting any phone solely generally works. The Agency's Guide to Mobile Devices incorporates a piece of less complicated recommendation to form certain hackers are not on the Q.T. turning on your phone's camera or mike to record you do not keep it with you.

Donate any homebuilt plane to charity for a great tax deduction and to help others less fortunate. Aircraft Donation is one of only a few charitable organizations that accepts amatuer plane/ kit plane/ homebuilt airplane donations. Whether you assembled your kit plane from larger composite parts or built it from scratch, you can donate your plane to our charity for the highest Fair Market Tax Deduction allowed by the IRS. But most importantly your homebuilt plane donation allows us to help families in need get back on their feet.
Our charitable program is rare but effective: not many charities know what to do with large donations such as aircraft. For years we have handled various aircraft donation from heavy air buses to homebuilt planes. We have an A-Team of pilots and mechanics across the US who can revamp your plane if it has seen better days, and you get the maximum tax deduction possible! Donate any building material such as wood, aluminum, fabric, fiber glass, carbon fiber, Kevlar, donate wood/ composite mixture plane, metal plane, composite plane, or any homebuilt plane. Part of our job is to make your donation as easy as possible, which makes your satisfaction a top priority. We are available for immediate pick-up any where in the US at no cost to you.
Homebuilt aircraft are not for the faint-hearted. As a pilot and owner of a homebuilt aircraft you know that they demand a level of skill that frankly not many people possess. While this is a testament to your piloting abilities, it makes homebuilt aircraft hard to sell. If you would rather not own your homebuilt aircraft, selling it can truly be a pain. When you donate homebuilt plane to AircraftDonation, you help out a family in need and receive a fair market tax deduction, which can be a lot more valuable than selling it yourself.


Nicole Seitz, coordinator of communications in famous French Grand Marnier house from 1953 to 1998, visited most of top French restaurants, thanks to the nature of her work. Little by little, she became friends with many important chefs and their children who declared interest in meeting and hanging out with children of other chefs. She was sure that Grand Marnier can help young chefs in their development and support the exchange of culinary skills with the goal of spreading solidarity and making new friends.
That's how, in 1974, the association of young chefs and restaurant owners was founded, under the name Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe ("Young chefs of Europe"). From that day this association grew into one of the most elite institutions when it comes to top gastronomy. Today, after 42 years of continuous work and growth, JRE has 340 chefs who live and work in 16 different European countries. 160 of those 340 have also been awarded a Michelin star.

Partnership Between Kingdom of Belgium and Recorded Future to Make Belgium the Safest Cyber Country in Europe

Hello everyone! I came up with an idea a few days ago.. i want to build a smaller soundsystem mainly for psytrance (dark/hitech). I read a lot about HD15"s etc.. but i still have no idea what to do. The main concept is the following: i have a field where the parties will be held; around 75-100 people maximum; mainly psy/techno would be played trough them. I dont know if it helps but i live in romania. So my main question would be what you advice me, the price of the system you are suggesting (approximatly) and maybe some plans i can look trough. Thank you for taking your time and reading this :) Have a nice day!
Btw if you suggest some passive/active speaker combos im listening.

South Africa Gatherings Act imposes 'illegitimate' restrictions on assemblies, Special Rapporteur tells court
NAIROBI/CAPE TOWN – The notification provisions of South Africa's Gatherings Act constitute "illegitimate" restrictions on the right to freedom of peaceful assembly, according to a brief filed by Special Rapporteur Maina Kiai before a court in Cape Town.
The amicus curiae brief was filed on 31 March 2017 in the appeal of Phumeza Mlungwana, et. al vs. the State, which concerns the constitutionality of section 12(1)(a) of the Regulation of Gatherings Act 205 of 1993. The act imposes criminal sanctions on any person who convenes a gathering of more than 15 people without notifying the relevant authority. Sanctions can also be imposed for "inadequate" notification.
The case arose from a peaceful protest at the Cape Town Civic Centre on 11 September 2013. Police arrested 21 people and charged them under section 12(1)(a) of the Gatherings Act for convening a gathering without providing notice to the relevant municipal authority. The 10 individuals who filed the appeal were convicted on 11 February 2015.
In his brief, the Special Rapporteur notes that State authorities are permitted to request notification for assemblies in order to fulfill their positive obligation to facilitate such assemblies. But this should not be construed as a permission requirement, he added. Thus, the imposition of criminal sanctions on participants who fail to give notification is an impermissible restriction of the right to assemble.
Kiai said the use of sanctions against individuals solely for organizing a peaceful demonstration with more than 15 people "does not serve a legitimate aim, nor is it necessary in a democratic society and it is disproportionate."
"When no other punishable behaviour is involved, sanctioning the mere non-notification of a peaceful assembly means de facto that the exercise of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly is penalized," he wrote. "The use of definitions of crimes or penalties, including administrative fines, that essentially criminalise the exercise of the right to freedom of peaceful assembly … have no place in the State law of a democratic society."
The full brief is available here.
The case (No. A431/15) was filed in the High Court of South Africa, Western Cape Division, Cape Town.
Update Jan. 25, 2018: The Western Cape High Court issued its decision in this case, and struck down as unconstitutional the criminal offense under the Regulation of Gatherings Act. The full decision is available here.
In essence, the court found that the notification requirement creates a chilling effect on freedom of expression and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly.
In its decision, the court made extensive reference to international court decisions and authorities cited in the amicus brief filed by Maina Kiai and others (see, e.g., paragraphs 41, 42, 60-69).

Democratic Republic of Congo is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises this year, according to the International Rescue Committee.
The structures in the country are not conducive for the free man let alone those in prison. At least 17 prisoners have been reported dead over the past week in one of DRC's biggest prisons, a charity says.
The causes of death, according to aid workers, were due to lack of food, medicine and poor hygiene.

The Makala Prison in the country's capital, Kinshasa has been devoid of food supplies in the last two months, state officials confirmed.
"It's terrible! People are dying almost every day," a prison official, who did not want to be named, told the BBC.
In Africa, when someone is incarcerated, it is deemed a disgrace and most inmates are abandoned by families once they are behind bars.
Nonetheless, over 8,000 prisoners must rely on their families to bring them meals since there are food shortages.
To worsen their plight, the prisons are heavily overcrowded, and reports say the current inmates are five times the number the facility was built for.
The living conditions for these inmates are so terrible that aid workers and other non-governmental groups reckon at least 100 prisoners are severely ill and on the verge of death.
The legal system in DR Congo is not at its best and most of the prisoners are trapped in the legal system where cases can drag on for years. Only 6% of the prisoners have had their cases heard and are serving prison terms.
According to a DR Congo deputy minister, Makala Prison has received funding from some donors to help improve the living conditions of the prisoners.
"It's true, there was a delay in paying suppliers and this explains the break in supplies," Celestin Tunda Ya Kasende told AFP, adding, "the situation was put to rights" on Monday.
However, BBC reports that human rights organisations remain skeptical about the minister's optimism regarding the inflow of funds to refurbish the prisons.
Forty inmates died in similar circumstances last year in another prison in DR Congo over an 18-month period.


Antibiotics are a group of medicines that are used to treat infections caused by bacteria and certain parasites. They do not work against infections that are caused by viruses – for example, the common cold or flu. Antibiotics are normally only prescribed for more serious bacterial infections – for example, pneumonia. When prescribed, it is important to take the entire course of antibiotics which helps to prevent resistance developing to that antibiotic. Most side-effects of antibiotics are not serious – for example, diarrhoea, or mild stomach upset such as nausea. Although some people develop a serious allergy to some antibiotics, this is rare.
An antibiotic (or antibacterial) is something that kills bacteria or slows the growth of bacteria. They are often medicines used to cure diseases. Antibiotics do not harm people. Penicillin is a popular antibiotic. Antibiotics started to be produced in 1939. Antibiotics cannot stop a virus. Antibiotics are not the same thing as antibodies.

LACEY, WASH. — The season may be over for the Simon Fraser Clan women's basketball team, but the only Canadian school in the NCAA is exiting with the knowledge that it made a big statement.
The Clan nearly rallied back from a 29-point deficit on Friday before falling 74-70 to the top-seeded, nationally-ranked Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves in one of two semifinal contests at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference tournament championships in Lacey, Wash on the campus of St. Martin's University..
Clan dig deep hole, see rally come up short as season ends at hands of UAA's Seawolves Back to video
Over a span of 8:30 in the second half, the Clan went on a 22-11 run that featured three treys by point guard Kristina Collins, who got on such a shooting roll that the Seawolves wound up fouling her from outside the arc with 32 seconds remaining. Collins hit all three of her free throws to pull the Clan to within 70-66 with 32 seconds remaning.
"I thought we showed a lot of resilience, being down 20 twice and coming back against a Top 10 team that's deep and very physical," Clan head coach Bruce Langford explained after the loss, which sends Anchorage into Saturday's championship final against the Western Washington Vikings. "Alaska plays at a high pace and I think we're still a little young. They're just a very good team."
The Seawolves entered the tournament boasting the largest average margin of victory in women's NCAA Div. 2 basketball.
Collins and teammate Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe closed their junior seasons out with dual 21-point performances, Raincock-Ekunwe also grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds.
Guard Carla Wyman added 13 points, forward Chelsea Reist eight and freshman guard Erin Chambers six points.
Haley Holmstead led the Wolves with 22 points, while Gritt Ryder added 12 and Hanna Johansson 10.
"Nayo had a very good game, as did Erin Chambers," said Langford. Carla carried us, and gave us some life in the first half. We return a lot of players, now we need to work on being more consistent. We need to get stronger and more skilled, but they need to feel pretty proud about how we played today. I'm so proud of our team after tonight's game."
Western advanced to Saturday's title game following its 66-54 win over Northwest Nazarene.

NCCU coach LeVelle Moton hears the loud silence by white college coaches on racial injustice

Though the sports world has been forced to come to grips with racism and police brutality amid the killing of George Floyd by a Minnesota police officer, North Carolina Central men's basketball coach LeVelle Moton says his white colleague have not done enough.
"The reality is a lot of these coaches have been able to create generational wealth," Moton said Sunday on ESPN Radio's Sunday Morning. "Their grandkids' kids are gonna be able to live a prosperous life because athletes who were the complexion of George Floyd were able to run a football, throw a football, shoot a basketball or whatever have you so they have been able to benefit from athletes that look like George Floyd and many more. But whenever people [who are] the complexion of George Floyd are killed, assassinated, murdered in the street in broad daylight, they're silent."
Moton, who has coached at NCCU for the last eleven seasons, was disappointed that notable white Power Five coaches in football and basketball have been hesitant to use their platform to publicly acknowledge the inequities black Americans face.
"I have a problem with [their silence] because it seems as if black lives matter to them whenever they can benefit from it or whenever they're getting them first downs, catching an alley-oop or shooting a [3-pointer] or whatever," Moton said. "When it's time for humanity to speak up on behalf of the student-athlete, it's silent, it's crickets. And my problem is if the murdering of black Americans is too risky of an issue for you to stand up as a leader, then who are they really playing for?"

The 2018 Media Literacy index of the Open Society Institute in Sofia says Balkan countries are the most susceptible in Europe to 'fake' news – owing to their highly controlled media, low educational levels and low levels of trust in society.
Balkan countries are the most vulnerable in Europe to the "fake" news and post-truth phenomenon, a new report says, blaming media that are highly controlled by the state or business interests, educational deficiencies and low overall trust levels in society.
Those are the main conclusions of the Media Literacy Index compiled by the Open Society Institute, OSI, in Sofia.
For a second consecutive year, the index assess the potential to resilience of 35 European societies to disinformation by employing media freedom, education and interpersonal trust indicators, said OSI–Sofia's European Policies program director, Marin Lessenski.
Media freedom is an important factor in tackling the fake news phenomenon – but is often overlooked, he said.
Education levels are also crucial when it comes to general education levels and specific media literacy training. There is an observable link between both.
"We don't know for certain what the direction of the relationship is, but we are certain there is one. We supposed that when education or media freedom increases, the other will follow," Lessenski told BIRN.
The author said the index measured resilience to post-truth, fake news and their social consequences; not measure media literacy itself, but the factors that predict it – level of education, state of the media, trust in society and the usage of electronic tools of participation in decision-making by the public. Educational levels are measured by average PISA scores for literacy.
According to the 2018 index, Nordic countries are best equipped to resist fake news, mainly because of their high educational and media freedom scores.
The report cites Estonia in Eastern Europe as a country with both high education and high scores in media freedom, standing out in the Central and East European region.
The index puts all Balkan states in the bottom half of the media literacy scale, with Greece and Romania being the "top" performers in 27th and 28th places, followed by Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania, Turkey and Macedonia.
The latter two have the worst scores. According to the report, these are due to very low level of media freedom in Turkey, and the lowest education score in the case of Macedonia.
"There is a notable concurrence of worsening factors among all the countries in the region," Lessenski added.
The index sees a slow improvement in the majority of Balkan states since 2017; however, Bulgaria and Romania are stagnating and Serbia, Montenegro and Romania are falling behind.
General decline of trust in institutions and in fellow citizens is damaging the scores of the Balkan nations.
"Fake news erodes trust and is associated with the growing polarization in society," the report warned, saying that the phenomenon undermines and erodes the quality of political debates.
While the report outlines various regulation and self-regulation proposals to tackle fake news, it says supporting media freedom is the best way forward.
"The more controlled the media landscape, the wider net of distortion and far less chances to access diversity of information and viewpoints," the report concluded.
