MONKTON — Imagine if kids were the ones testing the boundaries of technology. Imagine if they were programming artificial intelligence into robots they built themselves. And imagine if, when widespread problems arose, students invented products to solve them.
Since September, a team of 10 Monkton youths has done just that: created and programmed an autonomous robot made of Legos and invented a prototype lunchbox to protect food from contamination in preparation for the 2011 First Lego League Robotics Competition.
BRISTOL — New elements concerning a recent change to the proposed Bristol town plan have come to light.
At its Oct. 18 meeting, the planning commission revised a central component of the proposed plan after holding a public hearing on the issue in late September. The commission altered the dimensions of a no-extraction zone and passed the plan onto the selectboard, deeming there were "no substantial changes."
But that was not wholly accurate.

VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen will be researching potential sites for a new city police station in the next few weeks, although they have yet to commit to spending money to replace the department's tiny two-room office in City Hall.
MIDDLEBURY — It's almost Thanksgiving, and once again they're talking turkey at the Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects (HOPE) office at 232 Boardman St. The Middlebury-based anti-poverty organization will give out more than 400 turkey baskets on Thanksgiving and Christmas to local low-income families who otherwise wouldn't have a good celebratory meal.
MIDDLEBURY — County residents looking for some company and/or a great meal on Thanksgiving will again have two options at their disposal this year.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7823 on Exchange Street in Middlebury will host its annual Thanksgiving Day dinner, as will the Addison County Eagles Club off New Haven Road in Vergennes. Both meals have traditions dating back at least 20 years and offer a sit-down meal as well as a home-delivery option for shut-ins.
EAST MIDDLEBURY — More than 100 Middlebury residents have signed a petition that urges local, state and federal governments to cooperatively get the wheels turning on a mitigation project to prevent future flooding on an East Middlebury stretch of the Middlebury River.
It is the third day of the 2011 rifle season for deer. I'm sitting in a folding chair inside my hunting tent atop a small hill. In terms of my chances of success, I'd be better off 12 feet up in my tree stand rather than on the ground in a tent. I can see a lot farther from a dozen feet up in the air. Plus, my scent dissipates from a tree stand rather than lingering on the ground and warning deer of my presence.
ADDISON COUNTY — A tireless senior midfielder who helped lead the Middlebury Union High School team to the Division I state championship is the 2011 Addison Independent Field Hockey Player of the Year and leads a strong contingent of Tigers on the 2011 Independent Field Hockey All-Star Team.

text: Hawthorn Extract: Good for the Heart Hawthorn, a member of the rose family, is one of the oldest natural herbal medicines used in Europe. Its use also has a long history in Native American and ancient Greek medicine. Herbalists recognized early that hawthorn held great promise for helping heart-related problems. Studied thoroughly, hawthorn has been shown to dilate coronary arteries, thus increasing blood flow. It also works to support normal blood pressure and ease the heart's workload by dilating arteries in the arms and legs. Hawthorn has long been used in Europe for patients with congestive heart failure. Through a course of studies, scientists concluded that hawthorn consistently improved heart function, a patient's ability to exercise, and symptoms of the disease (such as shortness of breath and fatigue). Hawthorn also shows promise for relieving the symptoms of angina. While much research has been done in these areas, further research is still needed before one can say hawthorn is a treatment for these diseases. High-Quality Standardized Extract Our Hawthorn Extract is standardized to ensure you get the highest-quality ingredients. For added benefit, this formulation also contains garlic and cayenne. Both garlic and cayenne work to help lower cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of plaque buildup, which can lead to heart disease.

Right-hander Jair Jurrjens, who signed a minor league deal Friday, threw his first bullpen session in an Orioles uniform Sunday, mixing 45 pitches between a 20-minute session off a full mound and 10 minutes in the team's indoor batting cages throwing with hitters in the batter's box.
The Orioles' contract with Jurrjens went from a $1.5 million major league deal to a minor league deal when the team had concerns about the health of the pitcher's right knee. But Jurrjens said he was pleased with his first session in front of coaches.
"I'm still trying to get my windup. I feel like there's stuff in need to fix in it, but I feel really good about what's coming out," Jurrjens said. "And the main thing is I'm pain free."
Before reporting to camp, Jurrjens was training in Tampa and throwing bullpen sessions on his own, but this was his first in front of Orioles coaches. Orioles manager Buck Showater said he's talked to pitching coach Rick Adair about analyzing tape of Jurrjens' delivery before and after his struggles.
"We're at the point now where we're seeing if he's favoring the knee or whatever," Showalter said. "This guy at one time had outstanding command. Most of the problems he had can be traced to the issues he had with his knee. So, we'll see."
After Sunday's session, Jurrjens said he's already received suggestions.
"I think from now [on], my bullpens are going to keep getting better and better," Jurrjens said. "They're picking some stuff out and I'm going to concentrate on that and I think it will come easier for me.
"I think the stronger I get, I think the mechanics will come quicker and the more comfortable I'll get on the mound. It's going to be more of a mind game for myself to trust myself and trust what I'm doing to get stronger and just going out there and try to have fun again."
Jurrjens said he will be ready to pitch in games once the Grapefruit League schedule opens next Saturday.
"I'm doing everything. I have no setbacks," Jurrjens said. "I'm just working to get stronger and more comfortable on the mound a little more and get ready for the games when they start."
Around the horn: Showalter said he'd like to get shortstop J.J. Hardy out of the No. 2 hole in the batting order this season. Hardy started 150 out of 158 games in the No. 2 spot last year, hitting .236/.281/.380 in that spot. … The Orioles found out when they'd be losing their players and coaches who are leaving to participate in the WBC. Catcher Allan de San Miguel (Australia) and infielder Jonathan Schoop (Netherlands) have to play first-round games in Taiwan, so their last days in camp will be Friday and Saturday, respectively. Center fielder Adam Jones (United States) and catcher Chris Robinson (Canada) will leave after camp ends March 2 and reliever Pedro Strop and bullpen coach Bill Castro depart after the workout March 3. … Other pitchers who threw bullpen sessions Sunday were: Jake Arrieta, Brian Matusz, Tommy Hunter, Zach Britton, Dylan Bundy, Adam Russell, Zach Clark, Steve Johnson, Kyle Wright, Todd Redmond and T.J. McFarland.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Madi Talbert took her turn representing Lipscomb at the NCAA East Preliminaries Friday night finishing fourth in her heat in the 3000-meter steeplechase.
Her time of 10:08.21 advances her to the national finals for the second year in a row.
"Wow, she ran great," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "Whether she qualified for finals or not, I was very happy with her toughness and her race.
"To qualify for national finals for the second year in a row, as a sophomore, is amazing!"
Talbert already has significant experience on the national stage, but looks to come home with better results this year.
"Last year didn't go well at national finals," Taylor said. "I wasn't surprised. It's tough to go to nationals, by yourself, as a freshman, and her nerves got the best of her."
Talbert finished 23rd at last year's national finals with a time of 10:41.98.
Talbert not only recorded a personal best with Friday's time, but she also shattered the school record, which she set last year.
"Madi really turned a corner mentally at the end of the season," Taylor said. "Her practices have been great. She is so incredibly talented and has just scratched the surface of what she can do."
Taylor believes this is another huge moment for the track and field program and hopes the rest of the distance girls can step up to Talbert's level.
"I know Madi wants company in the distance races at nationals next year, and we definitely have the talent to get a lot of her teammates there," Taylor said. "Madi shows that your ranking doesn't matter, just belief, toughness and giving your best in the moment. I want that to spread through our team."
Talbert closed out the preliminaries with a historic finish, but Lipscomb still has one more athlete on the prowl for a victory.
Gemikal Prude is set to vie for a spot at nationals Saturday night as he competes in the high jump.

Dons inflict more misery on Burton
Record signing Byron Harrison grabbed his first AFC Wimbledon goal to help earn the Dons their first win in three League Two games as managerless Burton collapsed to a heavy 4-0 defeat.
The Brewers sacked Paul Peschisolido last weekend after 14 games without a win and defeat to the Dons extended the run to 16 following a midweek loss to fellow strugglers Northampton.
Luke Moore struck after nine minutes and West Ham loanee George Moncur doubled the lead after the break before Harrison and Sammy Moore scored in injury time to flatter the Dons.
AFC Wimbledon who made the breakthrough when Luke Moore latched onto Moncur's throughball and fired past Ross Atkins from just inside the box.
Greg Pearson forced home goalkeeper Seb Brown into a fine save as Burton pushed for an equaliser but after seeing one shot saved, Moncur grabbed his first Dons goal after 75 minutes.
Harrison, who signed from Stevenage in January, stooped to head in a third with his first league goal for the club and Sammy Moore pinched a fourth at the death.

Hood River Valley High School athletics took a big bite of reality on Wednesday when school officials proposed that six varsity sports be trimmed from the budget for next year.
Just three months after the controversial failure of Measure 28, the Hood River County School District, along with every other district in the state, is looking at ways to make up a colossal shortfall of $2.5 million — and as much as $500 million statewide.
If the district's budget committee accepts the latest recommendations when it meets in May, the district would save approximately $64,000 next school year by eliminating the cross-country, swimming, golf, tennis, skiing and lacrosse programs.
"These are still proposals, and by no means is this a done deal," Athletic Director Mitch Sanders said. "We're just trying to make our best guesses and prepare for the worst."
HRVHS co-principals Steve Fisk and Martha Capovilla have been tirelessly crunching the numbers alongside Sanders for the past few weeks.
And the stark reality for Oregon schools at this point in time is that every district must make considerable cuts if the state is going to emerge from the current budget crisis.
"We're hurting right now, and that's the sad reality," Sanders said. "This is the second straight year we have had to cut 20 percent of our athletic budget, and you don't cut that much without some sports going away.
"Any way you look at it, it's a terrible thing. I wish no sport had to be singled out, but after we looked at all the numbers and talked to the other schools in our league, we realized that we're actually in a good position compared to some places," he said.
Sanders also noted that the recommendations made were based on many factors — not just the sports that he, Fisk and Capovilla wanted to eliminate.
First of all, which activities are duplicated in the community through club sports or other high school programs (cross-country vs. track, for example)?
Second, what programs affect the least amount of kids? And third, what programs are easiest to run if you have to fund raise?
Sanders, Fisk and Capovilla examined the potential cuts in a very formulaic manner, and considered a number of other factors before rendering a proposal.
One thing to consider is that some sports, such as football and wrestling, bring in a considerable amount of revenue each year. If those programs were to be eliminated, much of the supply money for other sports would be gone.
Another factor to consider is, which programs are the other schools in the Intermountain Conference going to cut? Sanders said it wouldn't make sense for HRV to field a team that has no one to compete against.
"It's important to note that there is no sport that isn't receiving some kind of cut," Sanders said. "This is the second time in two years this has happened, and we're now faced with the fact that things are going to go away."
Sanders doesn't expect the final word from the budget committee until the end of May. But in the meantime, all he and the other coaches can do is hope for the best and expect the worst.
"This is just the beginning," he said. "Oregon schools are in really bad shape, and all the other AD's are looking at it the same way."

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - After being shutout for the first three innings, UC Santa Barbara (22-31, 8-14 Big West) exploded for 15 runs in the next four innings, defeating Cal Poly (28-29-1, 13-9 Big West) in blowout fashion, 19-10, in Big West Conference action on Friday night at Baggett Stadium.
Catcher Taylor Vogt (Burlingame, Calif.) led the 19-hit barrage, going 3-for-4 with two triples, a double, four runs scored and two RBI. Vogt was so hot, the Mustangs opted to pitch to Ryan Spilborghs and Matt Wilkerson-the Gauchos top home run hitters, intentionally walking him twice.
Trailing 3-0 in the top of the fourth, the Gauchos put up three runs in the fourth to tie the game up. Following a Cal Poly run in the bottom of the inning, the Gauchos scored two more runs in the fifth to retake the lead, 5-4, which they would not relinquish.
The sixth inning saw the Gauchos score eight runs including back-to-back home runs by first baseman Josh McCanne (Mammoth, Calif.) and Nate Sutton (Santa Cruz, Calif.) to take a 13-4 lead. Prior to his home run, Sutton hit a triple earlier in the inning. The Gauchos hit for the cycle in the inning with their six hits.
Cal Poly would claw their way back into the game by scoring six unanswered runs to trail 15-10 after eight innings. However, the Gauchos would score four runs in the ninth to make it 19-10.
Sean Thompson (Redondo Beach, Calif.) was the main beneficiary of the Gaucho offensive charge, getting the win despite giving up six runs. Thompson improves to 4-3 on the season, going seven innings, giving up three earned runs and striking out three.
Rich Sorenson (Dana Point, Calif.), Mike Sutherland (Torrance, Calif.) and Rob More (Torrance, Calif.) combined to go the final two innings, in relief of Thompson to close out the game.
All nine Gaucho starters had a base hit in the game with eight-of the-nine getting two hits apiece. Center fielder Ryan Spilborghs (Santa Barbara, Calif.) hit his 14th home run on the year with a two-run shot to straight-away center in the seventh inning, following a Chris Malec (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) double.
The Gauchos and Mustangs will get back together to play game two of the three game set tommorrow, at 1:00 p.m. back at Baggett Stadium.

Batten's hit, overturned call help lift St. Joseph over Staples
As Staples center fielder James Frusciante raised his arms in the air, seemingly to indicate that a ball off Matt Batten's bat was lodged under leaves at the outfield fence, the St. Joseph shortstop hesitated.
Batten, who drove a fastball into the gap in left-center field, momentarily stopped running at second base, before racing home under the instruction of his coaches. That split-second decision -- and an overruling by the umpires -- proved to be the difference in Wednesday's baseball clash between Staples and St. Joseph.
Originally called a ground-rule double -- thus sending the lead runner back to third base -- the ruling on Batten's hit was eventually overturned after a brief discussion between two umpires. The ball was ruled to be still in play and the Cadets, with some alert base running, plated two runs in an eventual 4-3 win at Staples.
"The ground rules are if the ball gets lodged, keep the guys running and then they'll (the umpires) go out and check," St. Joseph coach Jim Chaves said. "I just told my guys to keep running, just going off what the ground rule is."
Batten's hit, which broke a 2-2 tie, helped lift the Cadets (10-2) to their sixth straight win.
"I was just looking to keep my hands in and just work middle. I happened to get my arms extended a little bit. It carried well here," said Batten, who connected off a 2-1 fastball from Ryder Chasin.
That hit was one of just five on the afternoon for St. Joseph, which stranded five runners over the first four innings.
Starter Nick Williams was the winning pitcher for the Cadets, scattering eight hits over six innings. He allowed three runs before giving way to right-hander Stanley Wolpiuk, who tossed a scoreless seventh for the save.
"That was big momentum change in the game," Chaves said of Batten's hit. "Both pitchers were throwing extremely well. I had a feeling it was going to be a pretty low-scoring game. We were just extremely fortunate that that play went in our favor."
Staples fell to 7-6 despite a complete-game effort from Chasin, who allowed just five hits and struck out four. The Wreckers committed three errors on the day, leading to three unearned runs.
"Ryder threw a great game. He deserved a better fate," Staples coach Jack McFarland said. "One earned run."
McFarland called Batten's hit an "unfortunate play," but declined further comment.
The Wreckers, who came into the day on a two-game win streak, struggled to hit in the clutch. Trailing 4-2 in the sixth inning, they put runners on second and third with no outs, but plated only one run
In the seventh inning, shortstop Sam Ellinwood led off with a single but was erased one batter later on a double play.
"We strand way too many. We're not getting any big hits. We've got to get both those guys in there," McFarland said, referring to the sixth inning in which the lone run scored on an errant pickoff throw.
St. Joseph fell behind 1-0 after an inning -- the Wreckers' first run scoring on a wild pitch -- but took a 2-1 lead in the second. Third baseman Brett Olayos followed up a Staples error with a double to tie it. The second run scored on a wild pitch.
The Cadets held onto the one-run lead until the third inning when Staples catcher Noah Yokoi singled with two outs to make it 2-2. The Wreckers, however, were held off the scoreboard the next two innings.
"Nick's been doing great all year," Chaves said, referring to his starter. "I didn't think he had his best stuff. ... But when he had to, he really beared down with guys in scoring position."

[Illinois] SIAM Student Chapter Colloquium: Data Intensive Science: New Opportunities, Old Challenges
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Science, and society in general, is experiencing fundamental change. First is the explosion of data inundating everything from Astronomy to Zoology. Second is the severe impact of the economic recession and the federal budget deficit. Taken together, these challenges illuminate the need for new approaches in both research and education. A number of scientists at Illinois are tackling these challenges, and in the process are creating new opportunities. As a demonstration, I will present research being done within the Astronomy department on applying machine learning tools to quantify the dark universe. I will conclude by discussing how we are rethinking our curricula to allow students to acquire the skills necessary to work in the data-rich future.
Professor Robert Brunner has been Associate Professor of Astronomy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign since 2008. He received his Ph.D. in astrophysics from Johns Hopkins University in 1998. His areas of research focus include Observational Cosmology, Quasars/AGN, Time Domain Astronomy, and Practical Informatics.

Spice aims to provide a complete open source solution for interaction with virtualized desktops.
This feature brings Spice 0.10 to Fedora 16.
- Name: Uri Lublin
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 16
- Last updated: 2010-07-12
- Percentage of completion: 5%
Detailed Description
The Spice project deals with both the virtualized devices and the front-end.
Currently, the project main focus is to provide high-quality remote access to QEMU virtual machines. The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) is used for client-server communication. Spice adds a QXL display device to QEMU and provides drivers for this device for both X and Windows.
Features supported in the protocol are:
- Accelerated 2D graphics
- "Hardware" cursor support
- Audio playing
- Audio recording
- Image compression, both lossless and lossy (for WAN support)
- Video detection with MJpeg streaming
- Encryption
- Client side mouse pointer support
- Drivers for: X, Windows (xp, win7 -- not in Fedora)
Red Hat acquired Spice together with kvm when it aqcuired Qumranet, and has invested significant effort into opening it up, cleaning up dependencies, etc.
New features in Release 0.10 are:
- Usb sharing between guest and client (letting the guest access USB devices on the client)
Benefit to Fedora
In the long term, Spice will let Fedora provide a better user experience in desktop virtualization. In the short term, Fedora gains an interesting new open-source technology that many people want to try out.
- Spice support was added in Fedora 14 (as well as dependent packages, such as spice-protocol, celt051).
- Upon Spice 0.10 availability, there is some Fedora packaging work to be done.
- Need to update spice-protocol package.
- Need to update spice-server pacakge.
- Need to update spice-client package.
How To Test
The server part of Spice requires a x86-64 machine, and ideally should have hardware virtualization support (kvm) although this is not strictly required.
The client currently works on x86-64 and x86, but we're working on porting it to more architectures.
To test spice, install a qemu with spice support and spice-server on the server machine (aka host), then start qemu with options something like this:
qemu <disk-image> -usb -soundhw ac97 -vga qxl -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing -enable-kvm -m 1024 -monitor stdio
or with passwords:
qemu <disk-image> -usb -soundhw ac97 -vga qxl -spice port=5930,password=<secret> -enable-kvm -m 1024 -monitor stdio
On the client, install the spice-client package and start it like:
spicec -h <server> -p <port> [-w <secret>], e.g. spicec -h localhost -p 5930
This should let you access the machine. You should now install the qxl driver and optionally the agent on the guest. If you do not do this you're running in vga mode which is quite slow and inefficient.
- Use virt-manager to create a VM with Spice support.
- Run virt-viewer to access it via Spice, Or
- Use vinagre to access your VM.
User Experience
Spice is already available in F15.
The new USB sharing feature enables users to share (simple, usb1) usb devices (such as usb-disk) plugged in the client machine with the guest.
- qemu
Contingency Plan
Do not update Spice to 0.10, stay with current version (0.8).
Release Notes
- Spice now supports client-guest USB sharing.

Statement of Officer Richard Gorleski, president of the Albany Police Officers Union:
Despite Chief Steven Krokoff's efforts to address the community regarding the officer-involved shooting on Dec. 29, 2011, the venue chosen to present the available facts prevented a clear message from being delivered. And as such, rumors and conjecture seem to be worse than before press conference. In support of police officers (Jason) Kelley and (Gregory) Mulligan, as well as all of the other personnel involved in last night's incident, the Albany Police Officers Union presents the following: At approximately 10:20 p.m. the two officers made contact with a vehicle in which Nahcream Moore was an occupant. This stop was appropriate based on Moore's alleged involvement in a prior violent felony incident in Albany and the fact that Moore had an active warrant from New York state parole as an absconder. As Moore exited the vehicle he began to fight with the officers. One of the officers observed that Moore was holding a handgun and despite their best efforts to physically subdue him they were forced to fire their weapons to stop Moore's actions and save their lives. No one in the Albany Police Department ever wants to be in the position that Kelly and Mulligan were in last night. However, Moore's course of action made their decision to defend themselves unavoidable.

U.S. consumer prices were flat for a second straight month in January, providing scope for the Federal Reserve to maintain its very accommodative monetary policy stance to stimulate the sluggish economy.
The Labor Department said on Thursday its Consumer Price Index was held back by weak gasoline prices and food prices, which were unchanged after rising over the past months.
Continue Reading Below
Economists polled by Reuters had expected the CPI to edge up 0.1 percent. In the 12-months through January, consumer prices rose 1.6 percent, the smallest gain since July. They had advanced 1.7 percent in December.
However, consumer prices excluding food and energy rose 0.3 percent - the largest gain since May 2011. The so-called core CPI had increased 0.1 percent in December.
In the 12 months through January, core CPI increased 1.9 percent after rising by the same margin in December. That is just below the Fed's 2 percent goal.
The U.S. central bank last year embarked on an open-ended bond buying program and said it would keep it up until it saw a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market. It hopes the purchases will drive down borrowing costs.
The Fed also has committed to hold interest rates near zero until unemployment reaches 6.5 percent, provided inflation does not threaten to push over 2.5 percent.
But minutes of the Jan. 29-30 policy meeting published on Wednesday suggested it might have to slow or stop the asset purchases before it sees an acceleration in job growth because of concerns over the costs of the program.
Gasoline prices fell 3.0 percent after dropping 1.9 percent the prior month. But the decline in gas probably has run its course as prices at the pump have increased 44 cents so far this year.
Elsewhere, apparel prices increased 0.8 percent after gaining 0.1 percent in December. New motor vehicle prices rose 0.1 percent after advancing 0.2 percent the prior month.
Prices for used cars and trucks rose 0.2 percent after six consecutive months of declines. Airline fares rose for a fifth month in a row.
Housing costs edged up, with owners' equivalent rent rising 0.2 percent.

Macroprudential supervision
As a special body with no legal personality of its own, the newly-created European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) is based at the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt am Main. Even though the ESRB is not part of the ECB, the latter, together with national central banks, will have a leading role to play in it.
The President of the ECB is at the same time also the Chair of the ESRB and represents it. The central decision-making body is the General Board, on which the President and Vice-President of the ECB, the presidents/governors of national central banks, a member of the European Commission, the Chairs of the EBA, EIOPA and ESMA and the Chairs of the Advisory Committees all sit as voting members. Although high-ranking representatives of the competent national supervisory authorities also attend meetings, they, like the President of the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC), are not entitled to vote.
The General Board receives technical support from an Advisory Scientific Committee, an Advisory Technical Committee and a Steering Committee. The ECB provides the Secretariat.
Recognising systemic risks in time
The ESRB's main function is to monitor macro-economic developments and to avert or contain systemic risks to financial stability in the European Union. For these purposes the ESRB can define, collect and evaluate whatever information it may require. Based on this information, it shall establish and rank systemic risks by priority. If significant risks to financial stability are identified, the ESRB can decide to issue warnings and, if necessary, recommendations for remedial measures.
Both warnings and recommendations may be of a general or a specific nature. They may be addressed to the EU as a whole, to one or more Member States or one or more European or national supervisory authorities. The ESRB can also address recommendations on relevant EU regulations to the European Commission. As a matter of general principle, warnings and recommendations are treated confidentially and are not brought into the public domain. However, the General Board may decide on a case-by-case basis that a warning or recommendation should be made public.
The ESRB cannot compulsorily enforce any warnings and recommendations on those to whom they are addressed. Either measure can be enforced in the face of any possible resistance only by political pressure. To be exact, the institutions to which they have been addressed must notify the ESRB and the Ecofin Council of the measures they have taken to implement the recommendations or provide adequate justification of why they have not implemented a recommendation ("act or explain" mechanism). If the ESRB determines that a recommendation has not been followed or that the institution to which it was addressed has not provided adequate justification for its failure to act, it informs the institution in question, the Ecofin Council and if necessary the European Supervisory Authority concerned, observing the rules of secrecy.

Europe Week Ahead: Bank of England Meets
After the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank shifted their monetary positions this week, the market will be looking to see if the Bank of England does the same. But with the U.K. economy showing signs of a bounce, this appears less likely.

A spirit is terrifying my child - need help!
Posted 15 March 2008 - 02:15 PM
I have a strong faith and strong prayer warriors as friends. We started here and were unable to do much to help. I turned next to our pastorial associate at church who has experience in this area. She has two close friends who's calling is to help people clear their homes of spirits. They came over and went through everything in the house and when we got to the duct work in the basement they were shocked to discover the unholy trinity (Satan, Death and Hell and Jezebel). Through much prayer between the 5 of us we seemed to be able to release them and the spirit. I say seemed because as we continued through the house we found that the spirit was still in the attic with Jezebel who was holding on to him. Through much more prayer once again it seemed like we cleared everything out of the house. It didn't take more than a day to realize that everything was not back to normal. That was about 7 or 8 years ago. Since then I have been through so much to end this. The biggest breakthrough was about 3 years ago when we were finally able through an amazing prayer session in my house to pray for my husband's father's soul as it was when he was a child. This broke the spirit down and he sat and wept before moving on. The problem is that this entitiy tied to him is generational and it stayed. Some people believe it is staying in wait for my son (who is 8) to get older to attach to him. It was unable to attach to my husband or either of his brothers. I can't even think that because it is way too frightning.
Since that night 3 years ago the spirit is sometimes quieter and sometimes not. I think actually I fight it for awhile and then it wears me down and I just give up until something major happens and I go back to fighting it. I come from a family who is always positive and upbeat with no history of depression. That is how I always was. I started suffering from horrible depression during my second pregnancy right around the time this all started. I still to this day suffer from it and take medication. I am convinced it ties into all of it. My husband supports all of this and will help with whatever I want to do, but I am the figher in our house and the more spiritual one. If I wasn't fighting it, there would be no fight. This is why I am usually the adult under attack. I have tried many other things over the years and people have come to try to help, but nothing has worked.
The last couple of months the level of shadows I have seen has increased greatly. My children are now 12, 10 and 8. The 12 year old was most affected by it when she was young, but it is now the 10 year old who sees it the most. I would say about once a month at least she come flying out of a room because she just saw a spirit. The final straw was yesterday morning. My husband was out of town and my 8 year old was still sleeping. I woke my 10 year old up and told her to get dressed. I drove my 12 year old to school 1/2 a mile away and when I returned my 10 year old was still laying in bed with a terrified look on her face. When I asked her why she wasn't getting dressed she whispered, "Mommy there is a spirit in here and it was holding my arm down the whole time you wre gone." I was sick to my stomach and so angry! I calmed her down and we talked about how she was safe and nothing could hurt her with God's protection. She was fine after that but stuck close to my side.
So this is the start of my next and hopefully final fight. I am desperately seeking anyone's advice on where to go from here.

I'm going to move your post over to the Personal Encounters board, where it will get more exposure, and hopefully the help you are looking for.
Posted 15 March 2008 - 03:14 PM
An amazing story there !
It certainly does sound like you have a negative entity there, whether it is the father I dont know for sure as Im not there to experience it, however, spirits often do attach themselves to material things as it means so much to them when they were in the physical body.
Assuming it is the Father he certianly hasnt crossed over properly as he would not be able to affect you guys so negatively. I wouldnt say hasnt crossed over because of guilt but certainly I would say he hasnt changed therefore wants to continue this abuse emotional or otherwise.
Now what I am going to say next you may not like, though I do respect any man and their faith, whatever beliefs they have, but from experience it doesnt matter how religious or what spiritual faith you have, if the spirit does not want to go they will not go unless they have been confronted with a very experienced medium, or someone similar who actually does this type of work.
You have to be very strong psychically and know exactly what to do. There are certain ways and methods that can be achieved to get rid for good !
I personally do not follow religion, but as I mentioned before i totally respect people's beliefs, but there are methods I would use to clear it and Im sure I could be successful as some of the guys on here that know me I have experience in this.
I hope you find the right person for the job, and good luck, if you need anything else Im sure one of us would be able to help
Posted 15 March 2008 - 03:54 PM
Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with everything you said. My faith has given me the ability to deal with all of this without fear and with strength, but the people I have look toward to help me have not had the experience or knowledge to handle something of this magnitude. That is why I have turned to your website for help. I am open to whatever advice you have to offer.

Back in October, my husband and I were sharing a house with a couple we knew. They have a almost 3 year old son. I was the first to notice funny things about this house. Literally, the first time we saw it, I hated it. I knew something wasn't right. I tried to feel the house out and decided it was something very very harmful. No one believed me except for my husband because he's used to my constant sensitivity. Crazy things were happening, violent actions, almost like poltergeist. My room mate FINALLY started to believe me when her son, who had NEVER had any trouble sleeping before, would cry all night and scream for mommy because "monsters" were trying to get him. One day, we sat him down and tried to talk to him about it the best way you can talk to a two year old. He told us it was a "dragon" and he does NOT know that word and has NOT heard anyone else say it. It was chilling. After finding his hand prints on the CEILING of his bed room, we called priests. They didn't care. They didn't believe us. So I bought sage from a local herb shop and some friends (one of which I believe to be psychic) and I vigorously prayed in every single room, especially the baby's room. I screamed and yelled for it to leave and almost got my head knocked off when all the dishes came out of the cabinets. But after the storm of dinner ware, it seemed to lift the air. My husband and I moved out but I haven't heard any complaints since. To sum it up, in my years of unexplained situations, I've found the the fight is not between you and evil, but evil and God. And once God is brought into the mix, whatever has no power.
Best of luck to you!!!

Do you still have the chest of your father-in-law's stuff? If so I think a good start would be to get rid of it.
I agree with Mark on everything he said, especially the religious aspect. I urge you to find a medium in your area who does this kind of work. Priest, pastors, etc. usually only anger the spirit or entity even more. Also, if your FIL was a religious man, he may fear going to hell for what he did and be even more resistent to leaving if a religious person comes to clear him out; that is if it is who you think it is. The energy could even be a manifestation of the depression and unresolved feelings your husband and his family have regarding the father. There are so many possibilities that is why it is important to find a person in your area. There is a directory on this board where you can find investigative groups and others in your area.
Good luck,
Posted 15 March 2008 - 10:59 PM
If there is anything of the father-inLaw's in the house especially things that he was attached to in life, get rid of it. I wouldn't donate it, just trash it.
I keep being shown a b&w picture, wood frame with three males, tallest one in the middle. A father and two brothers. Do you have one with your father-in-law in it like that?
Posted 16 March 2008 - 12:39 AM
Then, with that done, I would put sage in every room of your house (if you can find sage incense it's brilliant but only as icing on the cake).
And I would find a very experienced medium to go through every room and clear anything nasty left behind. I think religious support is great, but you really need someone who knows what they're doing to make sure this thing gets away from you and your family. Most ministers I have encountered are practical people and, strangely enough, aren't that practiced in dealing with spirits.
Can you send your children to a friend or relative while you do this? I suspect with this man's history they might be key to this 'persons' reason for hanging about (but an experienced medium would be better than me to advise on that).
Gook Luck!

In answer to some of the questions, the chest has been chopped into little pieces and thrown out into the trash about three years ago. Most of the stuff in it was burned. A few of the items, that had sentimental value to my husband he put in the shed in the backyard. I know everything should have gone, but how do I convince him of that when they are his only reminder of a father that he loved.
Kira, what did you mean when you said "The energy could even be a manifestation of the depression and unresolved feelings...". I kind of understand what you are saying, but not completely.
I live in Medina, Ohio, which is 1/2 and hour from Cleveland and 1/2 an hour from Akron. I was looking through the list, but didn't really see anyone in this area. I'll go through it again, but how do I know who is very experience?
Posted 16 March 2008 - 03:26 PM
You may find that once this happens, which could take months, abuse is not something you get over in a day, a week or a month; having the momentos (sp) of his father's will not bring up negative feelings. I know that concept of forgiveness is very difficult for people when someone has been hurt in such a horrible way. But the forgiver is not doing it for the person who hurt him, he's doing it for himself. Forgive means that you understand the person is a human and did a terrible thing because either they experienced it themself (usually) or have some sort of mental illness. If you look at a person through the eyes of The Creator, as one of his/her children who is worthy of love and forgiveness, then it is easy to forgive. "To err is human, to forgive is divine."
In case you haven't looked at my webpage, this is what I do. I do spiritual/psychic work. Mark London does amazing work with crossing over spirits, my daughter does that as well. I don't do that as much. Sometimes I do, but more often I deal with individuals and helping them clear and cleanse their own energy. My immediate feeling when I read your post is that all of this is coming from within, it is not an outside thing. It may have attracted the negative entities that are now present in your home, but it started because of unresolved issues.
Feel free to send me a private message if you would like to talk some more about this. It is difficult to explain without you being able to ask me questions inbetween so we each are sure we understand that other.
Take care of your kids and explain to them that they have the power to tell this energy to leave them alone. They simply tell it, when they feel it near them, "Go away, you are not allowed here, this is my room or my house and only energies and entities of the highest light and vibration are allowed near me. As the mother you can protect yourself, your husband, and your children by envisioning all of you and your home encapsulated in bright white light of love and protection. The light can come from God, Angels, Spirit Guides, whatever you believe. You can all sit together and do this with you being the leader since you seem to be the strongest and most willing to do battle, I commend you for that! Again, if you'd like instructions, you can meet me in the chat room on GV. Let me know if you don't know how to get there.
Posted 18 March 2008 - 02:38 PM
We do have some ideas about what may be causing the symptoms you are experiencing, and we have some ideas about it might be handled.
We try to simplify, and our simplest philosophy is that fear, and anger and darkness can be replaced with love, and "light" and joy. I know that may sound naive to some, maybe even including some in our paranormal investigation group, but it sounds really logical to me. It is a basic philosophy of mine and nothing has been able to disprove it or unravel it so far. I believe that the darkness you fear, and the depression and bad things that come to you, can be related to chaos (I try not to name it evil, but call it the lack of peace and place that is "chaos.") Chaos has a place, but it is not with our families and our safe spaces in our homes.
Sometimes a door can get opened, or a series of keys can come together to lift the veil, or even some entity can pass through the curtain in order to get closer to us for one reason or another. We want to close those doors, but only AFTER the chaos or darkness or entity has passed through. We cannot completely END the chaos or evil, but we can make it smaller and less powerful and we can send it far away from us and our loved ones. And we can, over time, forget about being afraid of it. We can take away the power that fear and negativity have over us.
Some of us in this field use logic and science to take away the power that the "unknown" has to make us scared. I do that too. We use measurement devices and take notes and research history, etc to find out all the possibilities that may contribute to the problem you are experiencing. (EMF sickness, lack of lighting and positive energy, health issues, money &/or job issues, stress, fear, real/valid/necessary depression, etc.) Those actual logical symptoms can all contribute and act as keys to open doors for negative energy and chaos, and possibly specific dark entities or spirits. So! Yes, it will be work to get through some of those symptoms that are more difficult to change. But there are ways of dealing with the scary stuff that can be easy:
*Every time you feel fear, think of a happy thought or a fun memory.I call it the Peter Pan theory. Simple, but logical, and whats more: IT WORKS. Take away the fear and the negative energy that dark spirits/chaos feeds off of.
*Re-do the furniture in your home to avoid clutter and create pathways for light and energy.
*Clean up and donate "things" your families may no longer need or desire.
*Get a new lamp or new lighting.
* start a new program of some kind - healthy eating or exercise or a fun hobby.
* stop feeding into fear or darkness, and let yourself enjoy whatever you can. All the time.
Its a fundamental change and something we have to remind ourselves daily, but it really does work.
Then, when you feel you are ready, do a home cleansing with sage and prayers. Start at one end of home, on topmost floor and work your way all through the house. Tell the chaos to go. Give it a specific place to be, like inside a jar or a far corner of the property behind a fence, or another dimension completely. Ask your saints, angels, guides, God or dead relatives you loved or whomever to protect you and your home. Then YOU protect your home and family by replacing the fear with happy memories and future fun ideas and general happy thoughts like favorite treats and adventures. It WILL work!
Much love to you,

I agree with Kira,

I keep being shown a b&w picture, wood frame with three males, tallest one in the middle. A father and two brothers. Do you have one with your father-in-law in it like that?
I don't have any pictures of my FIL in my house and the few my husband may have kept (that will soon be gone) are not in frames. I asked him about a black and white picture of three men and he said he can remember one of his dad between two of his military buddies. His dad was in the middle with his shirt off, but the picture was never framed when he saw it.
Posted 18 March 2008 - 11:14 PM
The best and simplest advice that was given to me many years ago when I was experiencing "difficulties" in my home was "bring in light and the dark cannot stay". It really works and brought our home, peace.
Faith, Kira knows what she's talking about on the subject of "feelings". I can tell you, I've dealt with this before. Most people don't realise, or don't want to, that "thoughts are things". Very powerful emotion can wreak havoc on families.
Hoping for you all to find peace soon!

Integrated PLC, robotic controller eliminates need for 2nd PLC
ABB has introduced an integrated PLC and robot controller for robot cell applications, offering powerful performance in one unit. Combining ABB's flexible AC500 PLC with its IRC5 robot controller, the newly integrated unit eliminates the cost and space of a separate PLC cabinet and greatly reduces the time associated with the set-up and operation of robotic production cells.
With up to three local I/O boards plus bus communications for remote I/Os, the integrated controller provides users with one point of control for a range of production cell functions, including peripheral production equipment, such as grippers, feeders and ancillary machines. All of the main communications standards, including DeviceNet, Profibus DP, CANopen and Modbus TCP are supported, as well as wireless communications, making the integrated controller suitable for virtually any factory site.
Since its launch in 2006, the AC500 PLC has reportedly proven popular with OEMs and plant operators looking for a system that can be easily expanded to meet changing requirements. A key benefit of the PLC is its flexibility. Using the Control Builder software, programmers are empowered by a complete, unified development environment including all six IEC61131-3 programming languages and tools for configuration, debugging and visualization.
To help simplify programming and operation, a software framework is included, removing the need to set-up a communication infrastructure between the robot controller and PLC. The framework includes user friendly interactive displays on the FlexPendant, the robot controller interface device. This will help system integrators and end-users, allowing them to concentrate on the higher level specifics of a system installation or reconfiguration.
Available immediately, the IRC5 controller with the integrated AC500 PLC offers a one-stop solution for expandable and scalable programming based on a user-friendly, high performance and low-cost automation platform, the company said.

There's one in every group - even if it is only a group of two- the Eye Closer. And if someone isn't blinking, they are looking off to the left. Or right. Anytime you're trying to get a group pic you can count on one person having their eyes closed. So here's a tip I'm passing along for you, and this is not my tip, it comes out of a Scott Kelby book I have, but I have tested it and it works. Here goes:
Have everyone close their eyes and tell them not to open them until the count of three. When you say three you hit the shutter, maybe even a micro-nano second before. Not only does everyone have their eyes open and looking at you, they also usually have pleasantly-surprised wide open eyes which makes for a nice pic.
Try this and let me know how it works.
What eye-opening tips do you have?

What people say about Clarks Men's Portland 2 Tie Oxford,Brown Leather,9 XW US?
Very Comfortable, Fit PerfectI shopped for 2 weeks at local shoe stores and finally found these shoes. The 10E is true to size, the inside heel pad is very soft and the feel is like wearing a sneaker. A lot of shoe makers today put hard raised heel pads inside their shoes. For me they may as well be nails coming up from the bottom. The pad is this shoe are not noticeable and the heel is very soft and bouncy. If you have heel problems like plantar factitious, these shoes are perfect. There was no break in period. I just ordered the slip on version from amazon.
The only thing I don't get is the grey rubber between the upper and sole. They are listed as black! I wear these to work so I used some black liquid shoe polish to make this area a little darker.
If you want to sneek up on someone on a solid floor you will probably get caught. They have a slight sqeak to them. But nothing that is anywhere near annoying.
Where You Can Get this Clarks Men's Portland 2 Tie Oxford,Brown Leather,9 XW US with Rationale Price?
You can get this product from a local store near your neighborhood or by online shopping. Personally I recommend you to get it from Amazon.com. They offer great price. At the time I wrote they offer discount.

One problem, they are all shorter than a half marathon. I know this because I went to each and every event site and searched. Which was not easy... turns out that these events are wholly unconcerned with distance and they don't all promote how long they are. It's all about extreeme water buffalo obstacle stuff. Heck, the Spartan Beast events just say "the course is between 10 and 12 miles". Fine, whatever, I don't care. So I didn't list them.
Now guess what all my ads are.

James Carroll, who served as a Catholic priest before his literary ambitions led him to go secular, has gathered together his knowledge of church history and his mature powers as a novelist to create Warburg in Rome, his most splendid work of fiction to date.
Though the novel never really settles squarely as either historical fiction or historical thriller, it offers the best of both worlds. The history part involves immediate aftermath of the Nazi occupation of Rome, President Roosevelt's plans to save the few remaining Jews of Europe, and the laying down of the infamous "ratlines" that allowed Nazi principals to escape Allied capture with aid from the Catholic Church.
Fiction enters with a main character named David Warburg, a secular American Jew from northern New England who appears to be unconnected to the historical Warburgs, an American family related to prominent German bankers. Roosevelt has charged David with directing the War Refugee Board, and sends him to Rome just after the Nazi retreat. His mission: To save Jews from the Final Solution created by many of those same Third Reich figures who are now escaping Europe via the ratlines.
Carroll has published historical studies on this same subject, and found himself roundly attacked by defenders of Rome. His vivid reconstruction of this period, with Warburg and a colorful supporting cast at the center, punches back as only good fiction can do. A priest Warburg meets on the plane to Rome turns out to be a high assistant to New York's Cardinal Spellman, tasked with furthering the prelate's interests in the Vatican hierarchy. There's an American army officer who happens to be in cahoots with a neoconservative Vatican cabal to turn Hitler's anti-communism to their own ends. And then there's 24-year-old Marguerite d'Erasmo, a half-French, half-Italian beauty working in tandem with a group of resisting priests and Roman Jewish leaders to save the lives of Jews. Naturally, Warburg finds her both attractive and useful for his own plans.
The scenes of Vatican splendor and ceremony remain among the most convincing in the novel, as in the hour of the ordination of new members to the College of Cardinals: "The gathering of the scarlet-robed prelates, along with hundreds of violet-cloaked bishops and black-and-red monsignori, in the apse of St. Peter's Basilica was one of the world's great spectacles. Behind them, the mammoth nave was jammed with tens of thousands of the faithful, and the loggias on both aisles were crowded with diplomats in white tie and tails, sashes and medals. Fur-capped soldiers, pike-bearing Swiss guards, candle carriers, censer-waving thurifers, ribbon-bedecked members of the black aristocracy, the females covered with lace mantillas — no circus parade more colorful, no menageries stocked with more exotic creatures ... And with Joseph Stalin clawing at Europe ... The Church militant was on the march!"
Contrast with this taut scenes such as when d'Erasmo, deep in fascist territory, discovers a murderous operation run by a disfigured Croatian priest named Vukas. The monstrous Vukas selects refugee children for transit in sealed trucks with a "length of firehose ... attached to the exhaust pipe of each truck and fed into the bed." Once the children are on board, he waves a white handkerchief and the trucks begin a deadly circular run.
It takes Warburg quite a while to join forces with the local Jewish resistance and the increasingly more haggard Marguerite to try to save some lives. Even as he attempts to convince priests and U.S. military officers of the importance of his task, she gives herself over to a Nazi-sympathizing German priest in an attempt to bring the vicious Vukas into the sights of a rifle.
So it's a long struggle to find justice and love in the wake of war. But the novel is an edifying pleasure to read, always entertaining even as a reader moves along hip-deep in the history of the period.
Author James Carroll spent five years as a Catholic priest, before his literary ambitions led him to leave the priesthood. Our reviewer, Alan Cheuse, says his past helps make his latest book a standout. Alan says he's knitted together his knowledge of the church and his matured powered at a novelist to create his most splendid work of fiction to date.
ALAN CHEUSE, BYLINE: "Warburg In Rome" creates the atmosphere of a thriller with deeply serious historical undertones - the immediate aftermath of the German occupation of Rome. And the laying down of the infamous ratlines that allowed Nazi principals to escape allied capture with aid from the church. And Roosevelt's belated plan to save Jews still in Nazi territory. That's the history part. Fiction enters with a main character named David Warburg, a secular American Jew from northern New England. Roosevelt has charged him with directing the U.S. War Refugee Board and sends him on a mission to Rome, just after the Nazi retreat. Plenty of other strong characters gather around Warburg - some to help and some to disrupt. There's American priest, whom New York's ambitious Cardinal Spellman has assigned to advance his purposes, while in Rome and 24-year-old Marguerite DâErasmo, a half-French, half-Italian beauty, whom Warburg finds both attractive and useful for his own plans. She's been working in tandem with a group of resisting priests and local Jewish leaders to save the lives of Jews still in fascist captivity. A long struggle ensues to find justice and love in the wake of the war. But the novel remains consistently entertaining, never didactic - even as a reader moves along, hip-deep in the history of the period.
CORNISH: The book is "Warburg In Rome" written by James Carroll and reviewed by Alan Cheuse. Alan's most recent book is a collection of short stories called "And Authentic Marvel Ring." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

310.15 Conductor Ampacity
(A) General Requirements
The ampacity of a conductor can be determined either by using the tables in accordance with 310.15(b), or under engineering supervision as provided in 310.15(C).
FPN No. 1: Ampacities provided by this section do note take voltage drop into consideration. See 210.19(A) FPN No. 4, for branch circuits and 215.2(D) FPN No. 2, for feeders.
If a single length of conductor is routed in a manner that two or more ampacity ratings apply to a single conductor length, the lower ampacity must be used for the entire circuit. See 310.15(B).
Exception: When different ampacities apply to a length of conductor, the higher ampacity is permitted for the entire circuit if the reduced ampacity length does not exceed 10 ft and its length doesn't exceed 10% of the length of the higher ampacity.
(B) Ampacity Table
The allowable conductor ampacities listed in Table 310.16 are based on conditions where the ambient temperature isn't over 86°F and no more than three current-carrying conductors are bundled together.
When conductors are installed in an ambient temperature other than 78 to 86°F, ampacities listed in Table 310.16 must be corrected in accordance with the multipliers listed in Table 310.16.
When correcting conductor ampacity for elevated ambient temperature, the correction factor used for THHN conductors is based on the 90°C rating of the conductor, based on the conductor ampacity listed in the 90°C column of Table 310.16 [110.14(C)].
When adjusting conductor ampacity, the ampacity is based on the temperature insulation rating of the conductor as listed in Table 310.16, not the temperature rating of the terminal [110.14(C)].
Where the number of current-carrying conductors in a raceway or cable exceeds three, or where single conductors or multiconductor cables are stacked or bundled in lengths exceeding 24 in., the allowable ampacity of each conductor, as listed in Table 310.16, must be adjusted in accordance with the adjustment factors contained in Table 310.15(B)(2)(A).
Each current-carrying conductor of a paralleled set of conductors must be counted as a current-carrying conductor.
The grounded neutral conductor is considered a current-carrying conductor, but only under the conditions specified in 310.15(B)(4). Equipment grounding (bonding) conductors are never considered current carrying, but they are not designed to be used for this purpose [310.15(B)(5)].
When adjusting conductor ampacity, the ampacity is based on the temperature insulation rating of the conductor as listed in Table 310.16, not the temperature rating of the terminal [110.14(C)].
Where more than three current-carrying conductors are present and the ambient temperature isn't between 78 and 86°F, the ampacity listed in Table 310.16 must be adjusted for both conditions.
When adjusting conductor ampacity, the ampacity of THHN conductors is based on the 90°C rating of the conductor [110.14(C)].
FPN 2: See 376.22 for conductor ampacity adjustment factors for conductors in metal wireways.
Conductor ampacity adjustment only applies when more than 30 current-carrying conductors are installed in any cross-sectional area of a metal wireway.
Exception 3: The conductor ampacity adjustment factors of Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) do not apply to conductors installed in raceways not exceeding 24 in. in length.
Exception 5: The conductor ampacity adjustment factors of Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) do not apply to Type AC or MC cable when: (1) Each cable has not more than three current-carrying conductors. (2) The conductors are 12 AWG copper, and (3) No more than 20 current-carrying conductors (ten 2-wire cables or six 3-wire cables) are bundled.
When 11 or more 2-wire cables or 7 or more 3-wire cables (more than 20 current-carrying conductors) are bundled or stacked for more than 24 in., an ampacity adjustment factor of 60% must be applied.
Neutral Conductor
The neutral conductor of a 3-wire single-phase 120/240V system, or 4-wire 3-phase 120/208V or 277/408V wye-connected system isn't considered a current-carrying conductor.
The neutral conductor of a 3-wire circuit from a 4-wire 3-phase 120/208V or 277V/480V wye-connected system is considered a current-carrying conductor.
When a 3-wire circuit is supplied from a 4-wire 3-[phase wye-connected system, the neutral conductor carries approximately the same current as the ungrounded conductors.
The neutral conductor of a 4-wire 3-phase circuit is considered a current-carrying conductor where the major portion of the neutral load consists of nonlinear loads. This is because harmonic currents will be present in the neutral conductor, even if the loads on each of the 3 phases are balanced.
Nonlinear loads supplied by 4-wire 3-phase 120/208V or 277/480V wye-connected systems can produce unwanted and potentially hazardous triplen harmonic currents (3rd, 9th, 15th, etc.) that can add on the neutral conductor. To prevent fire or equipment damage from excessive harmonic neutral current, the designer should consider increasing the size of the neutral conductor or installing a separate neutral for each phase. For more information, visit www.MikeHolt.com and see 210.4(A) FPN, 220.61 FPN 2, and 450.3 FPN 2.
Grounding (earthing) and bonding conductors aren't considered current carrying.
For individual dwelling units or one-family, two-family, and multifamily dwellings, Table 310.15(B)(6) can be used to size 3-wire single-phase 120/240V service or feeder conductors (including neutral conductors) that serve as the main power feeder. Feeder conductors are not required to have an ampacity rating greater than the service conductors [215.2(A)(3)].
Warning: Table 310.15(B)(6) doesn't apply to 3-wire single-phase 120/208V systems, because the grounded neutral conductor in these systems carries neutral current even when the load on the phases is balanced [310.15(B)(4)(6)]. For more information on this topic, see 220.61(C)(1).
Grounded Neutral Conductor Sizing. Table 310.15(B)(6) can be used to size the grounded neutral conductor of a 3-wire single-phase 120/240V service or feeder that serves as the main power feeder, based on the feeder calculated load in accordance with 220.61.
Because the grounded neutral service conductor is required to serve as the effective ground-fault current path, it must be sized so that it can safely carry the maximum fault current likely to be imposed on it [110.10 and 250.4(A)(5)]. This is accomplished by sizing the grounded neutral conductor in accordance with Table 250.66, based on the total area of the largest ungrounded conductor [250.24(C)(1)].

Halloween 2013. Christine Daae Gypsy Costume
Added Oct 31, 2013
by geordannah
Kernersville, No...
A friend requested a Halloween costume for her daughter this year who is 6'2". She has never had a costume fit her before. Her favorite look is Christine Daae in Phantom of the Opera. The gypsy look, so this is what I made for her. The skirt is draped, original design. With her being 6'2" pattern length, was not conducive to the fabric width, so I draped a skirt, cutting sections of fabric on the bias and sewing them together diagonally. The chemise is modified from Historical Simplicity #9769 Removed the short sleeve, and lengthened to floor adding a ruffle and antique laces. The corset is a modification of Simplicity 5006, I opened it in the front and added a busk, rather than a closed front, I also constructed it differently by adding steel boning over the bust and making it a five layered construction for durability and leaving it some flex, so she can breath! Built it with a muslin core rather than coutil. The lace hip scarf and crossbody bag are original pieces. I will add more photos later. The skirt is not pictured in full, but I have included a nice shot of the Chemise with just the finished corset over it.
Material Notes
Cotton Muslin, Antique lace and buttons. Used vintage embroidery thread for the button "frogs" The skirt and corset are cottons and blends.

She also chose the larger grommets rather than traditional smaller grommets! She thought it gave it a slight steampunk type look…I liked her choice!
