Turin is probably not a city you would directly associate with film, but a visit to the Mole Antonelliana will most likely change your mind. This building, which dominates the city skyline with its high spire, houses one of the best film museums in the world: the Museo Nazionale del Cinema.
The museum stretches from the atrium over 4 floors - full of costumes, props, posters and a lot of moving images. The exhibit is divided over 10 'chapels', each highlighting one specific film genre. Thanks to interactive installations, you will be able to star in the world of film. Watch the clips while sitting on a chair or lying down – or even from sitting on the loo!
The architecture of the Mole Antonelliana inspired the museum designers to create a special route through the building: as you follow the path around, you slowly descend into the dome. Combined with unexpected sound and image effects, the interactive presentations transform a visit to the museum into a movie-like experience.
The ground floor displays provide an overview of the history of film by using historical props and equipment. Learn more about the ingenuity of early film technology. Antique magic lanterns create mysterious shadows on the screens and devils awaken from their 100-year slumber. Children will probably best enjoy the first floor, where they can watch clips in a setting of their own choosing – how about a 1950s living room? It feels as if you are stepping into a movie.
The second floor showcases everything involved in making a movie. For example, experience what it feels like to be the director. You can also try your hand at some special effects. With a snap of your fingers you can put yourself into a movie scene. On the third floor, you will find a vast collection of old movie posters. Don't forget to visit the lookout on top of the tower. To reach the lookout, take the glass lift (unfortunately not a prop from the Charlie and the Chocolate factory film).
"The Mole was once designed as the symbol of modern Italy"
Completed in 1889, the 167-metre-high Mole Antonelliana tower is the symbol of Turin. The building is named after the architect who designed the structure, Alessandro Antonelli. Initially the Mole was supposed to be a synagogue, but in 1878 the municipality of Turin bought the building while it was still under construction. The aluminium spire would soon become the icon of Turin, and as the city in those days was still the capital of Italy, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Mole was also designed as the symbol of modern Italy.

The imagePROGRAF iPF6450, 24-inch large format printer was designed for professionals in the graphic, fine art, photography and proofing markets that seek the highest possible standards for quality-control and image reproduction. An incredibly large color spectrum is produced by the 12-Color LUCIA EX pigment ink set, which also provides better scratch resistance and smoother gradations. The new Multi-sensor included with this printer provides improved color density detection and allows for a full calibration to be completed within 15 minutes, with the ability to use non-Canon branded media. A new Color Calibration Management System allows for color calibration targets to be created using the iPF6450 with optional spectrophotometer and shared across all new iPFX400 12-color printers, and the included software allows for all printers on the network to be monitored from one central location. The printer supports ink tank sizes of 130ml and for the first time, 300ml, and the new sub-ink tank keeps some ink in reserve to allow for tanks to be changed without interrupting a print. In the printer's highest print mode, the order of ink application and layering is optimized to maintain the highest print quality with fewer passes, making this mode twice as fast compared to previous models. The iPF6450 is also equipped with a large 250GB hard drive, geared to increase productivity in high volume printing and streamlined workflows, while allowing for faster processing of large files as well as the ability to reprint jobs directly from the printer.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — Spoiler alert: A market timing indicator with a stellar long-term record is now in "sell" mode.
The last time this indicator generated a sell signal was in late 2007, just before the Great Recession.
The indicator is called the "High Low Logic Index," and it was created by Norm Fosback in 1979, then the president of the Institute for Econometric Research, and currently editor of Fosback's Fund Forecaster. The indicator represents the lesser of two numbers: New 52-week highs and new 52-week lows (both expressed as a percentage of total issues traded). High readings are bearish, while low levels are bullish.
Fosback's explains the theory behind the indicator: High readings suggest that "the market is undergoing a period of extreme divergence... Such divergence is not usually conducive to future rising stock prices, [since] a healthy market requires some semblance of internal uniformity." Fosback furthermore found that "it doesn't matter what direction that uniformity takes. Many new highs and very few lows is obviously bullish, but so is a great many new lows accompanied by few or no new highs."
Fosback recommended using a 10-week exponential moving average of the weekly values. When that average reached 5%, he said it indicated "extreme market divergence" and therefore bearish. And that's just what the indicator did in June, rising to 5.1%. It currently stands at 4.6%
Lest you think that, because the indicator has dropped back below 5%, that the danger has passed, let me hasten to add two additional considerations. First, according to Fosback, a new buy signal doesn't get generated until the indicator drops all the way to below 1%. So June's sell signal still stands.
The second reason not to judge the current High Low Logic Index reading as bullish comes from Ned Davis Research, which also tracks the indicator. And their research has found that a slightly lower threshold — 4.4% — should be used for sell signals. And, of course, we are still above that threshold.
Ned Davis's firm reports that the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.14% has had a distinct downward bias over the last five decades whenever the indicator rose above this threshold. On average over the next three months, the firm calculates, the S&P 500 has fallen an average of 1.6%. Over the six months following such occasions, the average decline has been 2.7%.
The magnitudes of these declines is consistent with the six-month projection from Sam Eisenstadt, the former research chairman from Value Line. As I reported in my column earlier this week, Eisenstadt's model is now forecasting that the S&P 500 by year's end will be 2.4% lower.

In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like athletes who are suddenly going to get a lot more attention now that football season is drawing to a close. You've heard of "sports," right?
It's the stuff that happens during the offseason. Look ... tennis! Figure skating! Bas-ket-ball? These are all activities that athletes who weigh less than 300 pounds can participate in. Fascinating stuff, but it would be cooler if I could also do it as a bonus level on Madden 2040 or something.
Sure, there's one more football game left, but that's like next month or something. Now we must fill our days with entertainment that is slightly less bonecrushing. Games that have judges and give out medals and where people are rarely taken off the field/court/ice/mountain/pool on golf carts. I know it's totally a snooze, but try to put up with it for the sake of the kids.
Honorable mention: Television. Still relevant!

there are many challenges with tutorials, instructions and information in general. they are difficult to maintain and are not as valuable as expected because new players are simply not patient or interested enough to put in the effort required... and the ones that are, just learn by practice in what is, at the end of the day, not an especially complex game (CC has a lot more going on than just the game of course).

unfortunately this suggestion does not appear to suggest anything other than general concept... and that seems to already exist. at least in the OP. so, either it gets fleshed out or closed.

WASHINGTON, D.C., JULY 8, 2003 -- U.S. Senator Pete Domenici today reported that the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology at Socorro has landed a $422,235 grant through the U.S. Department of Education (DoEd) to expand as a program to make astronomy more exciting to youth.
New Mexico Tech'' Etscorn Campus Observatory (ECO) is used for education and public outreach. The grant funding, secured by Domenici in the FY2003 appropriations process last year, will be used to expand the observatory to include a laboratory building and a new radio interferometric telescope.
"New Mexico Tech has a distinguished record of accomplishment, including the operation of astronomy facilities. It is committed to increasing the number of minority students studying science, math and engineering in New Mexico schools, which have a minority population over 50 percent,†Domenici said.
The federal Fund for the Improvement of Education (FIE) grant will equip the two telescopes for remote operation over the Internet, for the addition of a one-meter class telescope, and for the training of teachers so that these astronomy assets can be used in classrooms throughout New Mexico.
Today, Domenici also reported approval of $15 million to complete the construction of the Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO) in Socorro County. This Office of Naval Research, Naval Research Laboratory project will consist of a single stand-alone telescope and a multi-telescope interferometer. The complex will be used by Defense Department agencies studying missile flights from the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). The project is supported by a research consortium composed of New Mexico Tech, New Mexico State University, New Mexico Highlands University, and the University of Puerto Rico.
The MRO funding included in the FY2004 Defense Appropriations Bill, which was approved by the Senate Defense Appropriation Subcommittee today. Domenici serves on this subcommittee.

Look to Repeat Last Year's Win
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Following a second-place finish at the George Washington Invitational, the Yale men's golf team will look to capitalize on its momentum when it returns home for the Yale Spring Opener, which takes place Apr. 2 at The Course at Yale.
The Bulldogs are well poised to repeat last year's performance, when they won the competition with an overall team score of +30, edging out Central Connecticut (+31) by a single stroke and Ivy League rivals Harvard (+40) by a full 10 strokes.
Sophomore Carson Weinand and senior Brandon Marick will also be looking to reprise their strong performances at last year's competition, where they finished at +5 and +8 to finish tied for second and tied for seventh, respectively.
"We are defending the title from last year and I'm excited to see how the boys handle the inclement conditions," said head coach Colin Sheehan '97. "We will be stronger for having played through these typically, early-season conditions."
Though the Elis fell just short of Ancient Eight rival Penn at last week's George Washington Invitation, there were several impressive individual performances that bode well for future competitions. Freshman Sam Bernstein came in second overall at exactly even par for the tournament, while senior captain Thomas McCarthy finished just behind on +3 to tie for third overall.
"After a rough fall, I still think we have one of the most talented teams in the Ivy League, and are starting to trend in the right direction," McCarthy said. "If each of us can play as we should, there's no reason why we shouldn't have a great finish this weekend."
The team has another advantage: the tournament will take place at home, at The Course at Yale, which was designed by champion golfer and co-founder of the USGA Charles Blair Macdonald. Recognized around the world as an exemplar of the early American golf course, the course has been voted the number one college golf course in America and was ranked 71st on Golf Magazine's list of the 100 most difficult courses in the world.
In particular, the course's 18th hole, where golfers will finish their rounds this weekend, is notorious for being among the top 10 blind holes in the world, according to Links Magazine.
Still, none of that will deter the Bulldogs when they tee off on Saturday.
"I look forward to watching this team compete and we are poised to play our best golf of the year," Sheehan said.
The Yale Spring Opener is one of just three tournaments the Bulldogs compete in before the Ivy League Championships, which take place Apr. 22-24 at Galloway National Golf Course in Galloway, N.J.

Senior Chuck Watson and junior Steven Calitri have earned Corvias ECAC Football Player of the Week honors for their performance in CCSU's 20-17 victory over Albany on Saturday night.
Watson has been named Corvias ECAC Football Division I FCS Defensive Player of the Week. While Calitri earns Corvias ECAC Football Division I FCS Special Teams Player of the Week. Both players receivied similar honors on Monday from the Northeast Conference.
Watson earns his first NEC Defensive Player of the Week award following CCSU's great defensive effort against Albany. The senior linebacker made a career-high 15 tackles, including 3.0 TFL to help his squad earn their first victory of the season.
Watson and the CCSU defense limited the Great Danes to only 2.8 yards per carry during Saturday's 20-17 road win. With the game tied at 17-17 in the fourth quarter, Watson delivered a tackle for a loss of three yards that halted Albany's momentum. He also had his first sack of the season in the first quarter of the game.
Calitri earns NEC Special Team's Player of the Week honors in large part because of his game winning field goal with 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter. In addition, he converted the two longest field goal attempts of his collegiate career on Saturday night, with the game winner setting a new career long.
With the score tied at 17-17, Calitri connected on a 40-yard game-winning field goal with 00:17 remaining on the clock. Calitri, who was a perfect 4-for-4 on kicks, including 2 PATs, was also responsible for the game's first points. He gave CCSU a 3-0 lead 6:29 into the contest when he drilled a 31-yarder.
The Blue Devils will visit the Rams of Rhode Island this Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Meade Stadium.

Iraq's provincial elections were conducted successfully today. The Associated Press headlines:
It's just a typo, though, or maybe a Freudian slip. What the AP actually reports is:
Iraq's provincial elections have wrapped up without any reports of serious violence.
Polls closed at 6 p.m. local time (10 a.m. EST) on Saturday–an hour later than planned. Millions of voters cast ballots for influential regional councils around most of Iraq.
Turnout seems to have been dampened somewhat by a ban on motor vehicles that was imposed for security reasons. I'll hazard a prediction, though, that turnout will prove to be higher than in our own election last November.
The elections represent a great success for the Iraqi people and one more sign that President Bush's–or rather, the country's–effort in Iraq will go down in history as a success. If Iraq's democracy succeeds and inspires similar progress in other Arab countries, it could be a success of epic proportions.
If President Obama has said anything about today's elections, I haven't seen it. There doesn't seem to be anything on the subject on the White House's web page, which features lies about Lilly Ledbetter. Congratulations, anyway, to the people of Iraq.
UPDATE: More good news: January saw the lowest death totals for both Iraqi civilians and U.S. soldiers since 2003. And Barack Obama has congratulated the Iraqis on their successful elections.

Clarke: Odemwingie still has a role to play and will feature for West Brom this season
The reintegration of West Brom wantaway Peter Odemwingie is continuing with manager Steve Clarke insisting the striker will have a part to play this season.
Having travelled with the squad to Anfield last night, the Nigerian sat in the stand to watch the Baggies' surprise 2-0 win over Liverpool, their first victory since Boxing Day.
Clarke said the 31-year-old, who was disciplined by the club after trying to force a deadline-day move to QPR by driving to Loftus Road, was involved with the team in the pre-match build-up and hopes he can soon return in a playing capacity.
Looking on: Odemwingie was left out against Liverpool but Steve Clarke insists his chance will come
Clarke had suggested prior to the Liverpool match that Odemwingie might be involved for the first time since January 19, but insisted there was nothing sinister in his eventual decision to leave him out.
'It wasn't an additional punishment and he was involved, that is why he was there,' he said.
'He was in the dressing room, he was delighted for his team-mates and was there to support them and help them.
'It is all part of what being part of a squad about.
Isolated: Odemwingie was forced to train alone while his team-mates were given time off
'Peter makes his contribution and will make a contribution in the season going forward.'
West Brom spent most of the match pursuing and pressing their hosts and they were successful enough to still be in the game with 10 minutes to go after goalkeeper Ben Foster had saved Steven Gerrard's penalty.
Defender Gareth McAuley's header and Romelu Lukaku's 90th-minute strike snatched victory but Clarke felt the platform had been established by his midfield.
'It is the first time in a number of weeks I've had the luxury of being able to pick Mulumbu, Claudio Yacob and James Morrison in the same midfield,' he said.
Smash and grab: West Brom secured an impressive victory over Liverpool
'When they are together and everyone is doing their jobs properly we are a good team and deserve to be in the top eight.'
Clarke admitted selecting that trio restricted his options up front but was pleased with the contribution of both Shane Long, who started, and Lukaku.
"They are a good combination. When they play together they play well but when I have my three midfield players in there it is difficult to play both," he said.
'Sometimes I have to make difficult decisions and in recent weeks Rom, for a 19-year-old, has been carrying a lot of weight up front.
Uphill battle? Odemwingie may struggle to win over the club's fans
'So it was nice to give him a breather and the chance to come into the game to do what he did.
'Rom did well but he got the benefit of the hard work of Shane Long, who put in a hell of a shift.
'He came on when the game was open – we knew Liverpool would come chasing the game and we could pick them off – and fortunately for the first time this year it worked.'

HINSDALE – Lyons Township is following a familiar rhythm that irritates coach Kurt Weinberg.
The past two years the Lions were 2-3 through five games and managed to make the playoffs at 5-4. This fall, LT again started 2-3 and needed a win at Hinsdale Central Saturday to revitalize its playoff hopes.
The Lions got it in a big way, winning 35-14 in a game they led 35-7 at halftime. LT is 9-1 in October since 2011.
"I hate it with a passion," Weinberg said of the slow starts. "Obviously we're proud of how we finish the season, but we're equally disappointed at how we start it. We've got to get better. We've got to figure out what the ebb and flow of that is and fix it. Obviously we want to keep the positive finish, but we've just got to get better in the beginning."
Not only did the Lions pick up the crucial win, which came with the added bonus of doing it on the home field of their rivals on their homecoming, but they practically had the game won before halftime.
A touchdown pass from Tommy Fiedler to Connor Pavletic with 27 seconds left in the first half gave LT a 35-7 lead at the half. After Fiedler threw an interception on the first play of the game and Hinsdale scored on the ensuing drive, it was all LT.
"We were firing on most of our cylinders," Fiedler said. "I think we just realized that this is the time. We can't wait any longer. We've had a habit of coming off in a slow start to the season and then finishing strong. I think the young guys, the juniors especially, have realized how to win and how to get the job done."
With Fiedler's quick-hitter passing game to big targets Marcell Kellum and Matt Mrazek working and with Leonard Ross breaking off big runs, it's easy to see why the offense is averaging 29 points per game this season. The difference now is that the defense has given up just two scores in each of the past two games.
"We're just hitting our stride defensively," Weinberg said. "We're starting to figure out the things that we do well. We're capitalizing a little bit on our speed. Obviously Hinsdale is a team that's huge, big and strong, but I think trying to accentuate our speed a little bit defensively has really helped."
The Lions face Oak Park-River Forest in a tough homecoming game on Saturday. The Huskies are 5-1 and just hung with defending West Suburban Silver champ Glenbard West in a 20-14 loss. Even if LT isn't able to beat the Huskies, more winnable games against York and Proviso West ahead would be enough to get the Lions in the playoffs.
Lyons Township 35, Hinsdale Central 14
LT leaders
Passing: Tommy Fiedler 12-for-16, 171 yards, 2 TDs
Rushing: Leonard Ross 16-130, 3 TDs
Receiving: Marcell Kellum 5-107, TD; Matt Mrazek 4-45
Week 7: Lyons Township vs. Oak Park River Forest
When: 1:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Bennett Field, 4900 Willow Springs Rd., Western Springs
Records: Lyons Township 3-3 (2-1 WSS), Oak Park River Forest (5-1, 3-1 WSS)
Outlook: LT has pulled off another turn around with back-to-back quality wins and now faces a strong team on homecoming. The Huskies are coming off their first loss of the season, 20-14 against Glenbard West. The 20 points are the most OPRF has allowed this fall. The Huskies are allowing 10 points per game.

All's been quiet on the Ahmad Bradshaw front since the Giants released the six-year veteran last month. But Bradshaw is starting to draw interest.
Both the Packers and the Steelers are interested in Bradshaw's services, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
It would be unlike the Packers to spend a lot on a free agent running back (or a free agent at any position, for that matter), but Green Bay has been shopping for a running back in free agency. The Packers were interested in Steven Jackson's services, and they've also visited with Peyton Hillis. The Steelers, who let Rashard Mendenhall leave in free agency, are also shopping for depth at running back.
Bradshaw, who will turn 27 on Tuesday, had foot surgery after the season but is believed to be good to go now. He played in 14 games for the Giants last year, gaining 1,015 yards on 221 carries and adding 23 catches for 245 yards.
Bradshaw is the No. 76 player on our Free Agent Hot 100, and the only running back on the list who remains unsigned.

Head and owner of the company
Desire for movement and the joy of life. For me – as myself as wheelchair user – that was the motivation for developing and building my first sports equipment prototypes.
Thirty years later, a competent team now stands behind that vision, manufaturing custom-designed top-of-the-line equipment for professional and amateur sports lovers.
There is more in life than using your legs "to stand on your own two feet". The want of movement, the joy of life gave me the will in 1982 to modify wheelchairs and to test different types of sledges and monoskis. My idea was to use winter sports and bikes for myself.
Now we manufacture top-class (sports) equipment individually made for professional and hobby users with my 17 men team in Niederndorf (Tyrol). High quality and easiness of use are our principles to guarantee improvements and good results in the last Paralympics and many national and international competitions.
Craftsmanship: the Quality of our products
The fundamentals: quality, functionality and unceasing development. It's an investment that pays: top rankings and more than 200 medals at the Paralympics and other international and national competitions are the proof.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The accolades continued to pour in for the MIT women's track & field program on Thursday, as three Engineers were named to the Capital One Academic All-America team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). No other Institution in the country was able to match Tech's three honorees, as seniors Hazel Briner and Karin Fisher, as well as junior Portia Jones, were recognized for their outstanding athletic and academic achievements. With the selections of Briner, Fisher and Jones, MIT has now placed 11 individuals on the CoSIDA Academic All-America squads during the 2010-11 year, tying the high-water mark for the Institute, which was also achieved in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Jones continues to add accomplishments to an outstanding resume compiled in just her first three years at MIT, with her Second Team nod. She has 14 All-America honors to her credit and has been named the New England Track Athlete of the Year on four separate occasions. A five-time New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Champion, Jones owns the Institute record in 11 different events. She has also maintained a 4.4 GPA in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Fisher, who was tabbed to the Third Team along with Briner, was one of the top pole vaulters in the country the past two years. She earned All-America honors in the event three times and finished as the national runner-up at the 2011 NCAA Division III Indoor Championship. Voted as the 2011 Betsy Shumacker Woman Athlete of the Year at MIT, Fisher maintained a 4.4 GPA during her undergraduate tenure and graduated from MIT last month with degrees in Electrical Science & Engineering and Physics.
Briner was one of the best all-around athletes to pass through the Tech track and field program, displaying her versatility by regularly competing in and dominating the pentathlon and heptathlon events. She was a two-time New England Division III champion in each event and owns the MIT record in both. She also landed on the All-America podium four times in three different events, finishing among the top eight nationally in the pentathlon, 4x400 relay and pole vault. She was the recipient of MIT's Pewter Bowl Award, given to the female senior who has shown the highest qualities of inspiration and leadership. Briner graduated with a 4.5 GPA in Biology and Mechanical Engineering.
The selection of Briner, Fisher and Jones brings Tech's total to 175 Academic All-America honorees, the third most in NCAA history and tops in Division III. The Cardinal and Gray trail only the University of Nebraska and Notre Dame. The women's track and field and cross country programs have accounted for 12 of those distinctions, including five in the past two years.

New art exhibit features Plainview artist
PLAINVIEW – Plainview artist Debbe Brightbill will have her work on exhibit in the Abraham Family Art Gallery at Wayland Baptist University from Sept. 28 through Oct. 18.
Called "Line Upon Line: Works of Debbe Brightbill," the exhibit features nearly 40 paintings and 20 drawings Brightbill has done in the past few decades. A native of Monahans, Brightbill drew from a familiar Bible passage to name her show and sum up her artistic philosophy.
"A familiar quote my Dad used to use a lot is from Isaiah 28:10: 'For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little,'" Brightbill writes in her artist's statement. "Art is a journey like life. It is learned again and again. My struggle with art seems to reflect my struggles with life. At times a joyous spark happens and the flow of creation begins.
"I know this much, through the cycles of the ups and downs, I'm always coming round to 'I don't know all that much.'"
Some of the pieces gracing Brightbill's exhibit include several she's done in her more recent role as student. Enrolled in an art class under Dr. Candace Keller, professor of art, Brightbill said she's been able to hone her skills, get additional inspiration from working outside her home and been driven to stretch her mind.
"I wanted to keep myself busy and healthy and keep my mind going," she said of taking a class at Wayland.
Brightbill said many in her life have inspired her and have keep her going during the rough times, and she includes Keller in that list. She also credits her family for their support and encouragement and "keeping me grounded."
Having painted since her 30s, Brightbill is no stranger to art. A bedroom in her home was converted to her studio, and she spends much of her time there. Only recently, she said, did she realize her calling as an artist, and taking the class at Wayland has helped her to focus on that call.
According to Keller, Brightbill's work is a reflection of her life and her passion.
"Debbe is an intuitive painter who uses her insights and emotions to develop her compositions. They evolve skillfully and with great patience, as she layers up her color and texture to achieve her vision," Keller said. "You can really see her heart in her work."
Keller said working with artists like Brightbill is mutually rewarding and beneficial to her students as well.
"I feel greatly privileged to be able to work with the talented young people at Wayland, and it is always exciting to help them realize their ideas and develop their abilities," she said.
Brightbill's show is open to the public during regular gallery hours: from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays, and from 2-5 p.m. on Saturdays. The gallery is located in the lower level of the Mabee Learning Resources Center. Admission is free.
A reception for Brightbill will be held Sunday, Oct. 2, from 3-5 p.m. in the atrium of the Mabee Center, just outside the gallery. The public is invited.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 28 November 2012
A Blueprint for a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union: Launching a European debate
Brussels, 28 November 2012 – The European Commission today adopted a Blueprint for a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union, which provides a vision for a strong and stable architecture in the financial, fiscal, economic and political domains.
Commenting on the Blueprint, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, said: "We need a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union in order to overcome the crisis of confidence that is hurting our economies and our citizens' livelihoods. We must give tangible proof of the willingness of Europeans to stick together and move forward decisively to strengthen the architecture in the financial, fiscal, economic and political domains that underpins the stability of the Euro and our Union as a whole."
In a deep and genuine EMU, all major economic and fiscal policy choices by Member States would be subject to deeper coordination, endorsement and surveillance at the European level. The Blueprint sets out the path to a deep and genuine EMU, which involves incremental measures taken over the short, medium and longer term. Part of the agenda can be delivered on the basis of the current Treaties, though part of it requires Treaty change.
Some of the required steps can be adopted within the limits of the current Treaties. Others will require modifications of the current Treaties and new competences for the Union. This must be built on the following basic principles.
Next steps
The Blueprint is the Commission's contribution to the report of the "four presidents" on the next steps for economic and monetary union. A final version of the report is being prepared by the President of the European Council in coordination with President Barroso, the President of the European Central Bank and the President of the Eurogroup, and will be discussed by the European Council on 13-14 December.
The debate on how to further strengthen economic governance has been gathering speed since May 2010, when the Commission proposed a strategy for strengthening economic governance in Europe (MEMO/10/204). This led to the eventual adoption of the "six pack" proposals, which entered into force in December 2011 (MEMO/11/898). The Commission has also contributed to several reports on the EMU in collaboration with the President of the European Council: the report of the task force on economic governance (October 2010), 'Towards a stronger economic union' (December 2011) and the interim report of the "four presidents", 'Towards a genuine economic and monetary union' (October 2012).

Hey all! First time to the forums and I have a maybe weird-ish question?
I'm no stranger to bento making but in the past I have been able to refrigerate and/or heat up my bentos in a microwave. However currently I have a job that not only has NO set schedule, which is bad enough - but I have no access to a fridge, or a microwave. I know I could technically get some ice packs and pack them well, but I have a LOT to carry as a freelance artist, and my bento in a small bag is usually all I can handle. Also I really don't enjoy eating everything freezing cold! Haha I know - so many problems!
What can I make that would be ok at room temperature for about 4-6 hours? Unfortunately I don't get a scheduled lunch - so you see my dilemma! I know onigiri is good, but I can't eat that every single day! Help~!
"Remember that only dead fish swim with the stream"
Bentos are meant to be eaten at room temperature and if its not hot outside you do not need to cool the traditional recieps. Normally I make my bento in the morning and eat it around 12 in the morning. And it has always been in best shape. Only in summer you should think about cooling you bento.
I would recomending putting a little extra salt or some sushi vinigar in your rice, and avoid animal based foods (especially fish). Pasta and bread are fine as well as rice. You could also get a thermal lunch box to keep things nice and hot. Of course from a food hygene point of veiw that would be worse, but if you stick to low risk foods it's still perfectly safe. Using a thermal lunchbox/bento can also keep things cool, which helps from a food hygene point of veiw. Green salad is safe but it wilts horribly at summer room temprature. I have no access to a fridge or microwave at school (how would they provide enough for everyone), and none of my bentos have gone bad yet.
I guess you can put animal-based food only if they are completely and absolutely well cooked... I would avoid fish anyway, even if i can store the bento in a fridge, except for canned tuna. And avoid mayo or anything concerning raw egg.
GOod luck! ^^

Stock Charts, Understanding the Basics
Stock chart education is very important for investors that want to perform technical analysis. By understanding price patterns traders have an edge at predicting where the stock is going next.
2013 UPDATE: Took 6 years, but you can now learn stock charts with my 156 interactive guide, The Interactive Guide to Technical Analysis.
To make this simple, I have taken a stock chart and labeled the main parts that we will take note of. Below the chart I will explain these parts and what they mean when it comes to reading stock charts. So first let's take a look at the chart example which is of the NASDAQ Composite:
Let's break down these points:
- Chart Identification – Every chart is labeled and tells you what exactly you are looking at. So, if we look to the left of one we can see very clearly that we are looking at a chart of $COMPQ (Nasdaq Composite) INDX. The $COMPQ is the ticker symbol of the index. Just like Google has a ticker of GOOG, and Microsoft has a ticker of MSFT.
- Summary Key – The first number displays 2303.54 which is the last price of the index. To left of this number it says "(daily)", which means we are looking at a DAILY chart of the index. You can view charts on weekly and even monthly views. Below this we can see the blue and red lines (50 and 200) MAs. These are the price moving averages which I will explain more in point #4. Bottom line is that the summary key tells us the important numbers from the stock chart we are viewing.
- Time Period – The X axis always displays the time period. If you view the dates left to right you will find that we are viewing a chart of the months of April, May, June, and July.
- Moving Averages – Moving averages are a form of technical analysis that help identify support and resistance on a stock chart. On this chart the red line is the 200 day moving average, and the blue is the 50 day moving average.
- Volume – Volume is extremely important as it helps determine market momentum. Each bar represents one day, and the red line going through the tops is the average volume over the last xx days (in this case 60). So, the taller the volume bar, the more shares of stock that were traded that day.
- Daily Trade Range – Just like volume, each red or black vertical line on the chart represents one independent trading day. If the bar is red, that means the stock or in this case the index was DOWN overall on the day compared to the previous day. Black bars mean that the stock was even or UP on the day compared to the previous day.
- Example 15: General Motors (GM)
- Example 14: Google (GOOG)
- Example 13: Apple (AAPL)
- Example 12: Washington Mutual (WM)
- Example 11: Lehman Brothers (LEH)
- Example 10: Fastenal (FAST)
- Example 9: Potash (POT)
- Example 8: Research in Motion (RIMM)
- Example 7: Canadian Solar (CSIQ)
- Example 6: Frontline (FRO)
- Example 5: Visa (V)
- Example 4: Google (GOOG)
- Example 3: First Solar (FSLR)
- Example 2: Covance (CVD)
- Example 1: Energy Conversion Devices (ENER)

SOCORRO, N.M., April 10, 2002 -- Nearly 3,000 volumes of books, periodicals, and technical reports about potash and the potash industry, along with several mineral specimens and core samples, were recently donated by Mississippi Potash, Inc., to the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (Bureau). The Bureau is a research and service division of New Mexico Tech, located in Socorro.
The comprehensive potash library, which will be known as "The Potash Company of American Collection," was transferred to the Bureau last fall from Mississippi Potash's Carlsbad, New Mexico operations.
In 1996, Mississippi Potash acquired the former Eddy Potash mine in Carlsbad. The mine was originally owned and operated by Potash Company of America.
"As a company, we were delighted to donate the Potash Company of America Collection to the university, so that students, faculty, staff, and researchers can make ample use of this valuable resource," says Randy Foote, Mississippi Potash's vice president for operations.
"With the extensive expertise and knowledge of the Bureau's staff, we knew that the collection of materials would be put to great use and that this was the right home for the collection," he relates.
"We're very thankful that these materials will once again be used for their original purpose of research and study," Foote adds. "Current and former employees of our Carlsbad operations will be happy to know the library is being put to good use."
Mississippi Potash is one of the largest producers of potash in the United States and is located in the Permian Potash Basin, which represents about 80 percent of U.S. potash production. The company produces red and white potash in both agricultural and industrial grades with a total annual production of 1.1 million tons.
"We were thrilled with the generous donation of the library and mineral specimens by Mississippi Potash," says Dr. Maureen Wilks, geological librarian for the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. "This collection will add to our resources and help provide students and researchers with the information needed to better understand the potash industry."
The donated potash library collection will be used to upgrade the Bureau's own extensive geologic library.

Christmas - Knecht Ruprecht
Translation of poem from German to English by Alex Herzog, Boulder, Colorado
Knecht Ruprecht
(Note 1 - see below)
Way out from the forest is where I am from
I must tell you, it's rally "Christmasing" (Note 2)
On every pine tree top
I saw golden lights gleaming;
And up in the sky, from heaven's gate
I saw the wide-eyed Christchild.
And as a strolled through the dark pines,
A bright voice called out to me:
"Knecht Ruprecht," it called out, "old fellow,
Lift up those legs and hide yourself!
The candles are starting to burn,
Heaven's gate has swung wide open,
Old and young now must
Rest from the chase of your lives;
And tomorrow morn' I'll fly down to earth,
And then it is to be Christmas!"
I spoke: "Oh, dearest Lord, Christ,
My journey is nearly over;
Must I yet go to this town
Where those pure and good children are." -
"Are you carrying the bag?"
I said: "The bag, it is here.;
For apples, nuts and almonds
Are loved by pious children." -
"Are you carrying the switch as well?"
I said, "The switch, it is here.;
But only for those children who are bad,
It will meet them on the right part of their body."
The Christchild then said, "So it is, right and proper,
Now go with God, my loyal servant!"
Way out from the forest is where I am from,
I must tell you, it's rally "Christmasing"
Now tell me how I'll find things here!
Will there be good children, or bad?
Note 1: This translation makes no attempt at maintaining the rhyming scheme of the original German, but neither does it adhere strictly to word-for-word rendering.
Note 2: An extremely awkward phrase to translate. An even freer translation would be "it is beginning to look an awful lot like Christmas,"
Note 3: The "Knecht" [Servant, Assistant] Ruprecht traditionally accompanied the Christchild on Christmas Eve. His role was to test the children as to their knowledge of the proper Christmas and Bible verses, and to mete out punishment if deserved, while the Christchild was there to praise the good children.
Our appreciation is extended to Alex Herzog for translation of this poem.

Skywarn is a network of volunteer severe weather spotters, who act as the "eyes and ears" of National Weather Service (NWS) offices throughout the county. The spotters are trained by local NWS Forecast Offices on how to spot and report severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail and flooding. In some areas, spotters also report snowfall and ice accumulation.
NWS Baltimore / Washington Forecast Office in Sterling, Virginia, has been recruiting and training spotters into its expanded network since 1990. there are currently over 5,000 volunteers who cover 44 counties, plus Baltimore City and the District of Columbia.
The network comprises an area from the west of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay to the Allegheny Mountains; and from the Mason-Dixon line down to St. Mary's, King George, Spotsylvania, Orange, Nelson,and Highland Counties.
Skywarn volunteers are a diverse group, ranging from weather enthusiasts or public-service oriented people such as amateur radio operators, REACT members, or emergency response personnel. Spotters are all ages, from 14 through retirement age, with many professions represented. Skywarn volunteers have a common interest in weather and a strong desire to help the community.
When hazardous weather occurs, Skywarn volunteers report what is happening at their location. They are asked to report conditions such as rain and snow amounts, hail, flooding, tornadoes, or damage to trees or property.
Reports arrive at the NWS office via telephone, email, social media, and the Skywarn amateur radio net. The reports are combined with radar, lightning, satellite and computer model data to determine what the storms will do next. Spotters provide the "ground truth" to NWS forecasters: important information that radar won't always show. The reports are used by forecasters to issue public statements, watches, warnings, advisories, and short-term forecasts. These products reach the public through the Internet, NOAA weather radio, the media and other means.
Skywarn reports also go into Storm Data, which is an official publication that documents severe weather across the country. Storm Data can be used to create a severe weather climatologic (or history) of the local county and city.
Many Skywarn volunteers are also licensed amateur radio operators. The ability of many amateur radio operators to operate during power outages is an asset to the NWS. During severe weather, amateur radio volunteers staff the radio station at the NWS office, using the call sign WX4LWX. They talk to spotters in the area where a storm is hitting, and request information needed by forecasters, such as hail size or rainfall accumulation. AS many of you saw on June 29th, 2012, large storms such as hurricanes and derechos can knock out phone service. Skywarn amateur radio volunteers help when there are communications outages so that NWS can continue to receive weather reports and feed warnings and other critical information out to communities. The WX4LWX station can also communicate with the National Hurricane Center, if needed.
Those wishing to become part of Skywarn must be:
* age 14 or older
* able to observe the weather (through no instruments are required)
* able to access a telephone or amateur radio network to report on life-threatening or other conditions. Some also use email to report less urgent conditions.
Skywarn spotters are required to take the Skywarn Basics I class taught by NWS meteorologists. This 2-hour seminar will teach you the basics of how Skywarn operates, what weather threats affect the region and how to spot them, what information to report, and when to report it. A few weeks after the class, you will receive a special Skywarn ID card with reporting instructions.. There is no cost for the class. Classes are hosted around the area by amateur radio clubs, counties, and their organizations, Optional threat classes, such as Tropical/Hurricane, Winter Weather, and Flooding are offered during certain times of the year. Registration is required for all the classes. This is done by contacting the person listed for a given class.
Those interested are requested to pre-register for classes, to ensure availability of seating and handouts for all attendees. Classes are listed on the NWS web site
The FCC requires that all amateur radio operators pass a 35-question multiple-choice exam. The exam is offered around the area and administered by volunteer examiners. Radio clubs, books, software, and online test sites will help you prepare for the exam. Find information on amateur radio at the American Radio Relay League's web site
