|As the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) has begun its early deployment trials, estimating how large a global RPKI deployment must be to certify today's Internet has become increasingly relevant. In this document, we present a "back-of-the-envelope" style evaluation of the number of objects required to fully deploy a global RPKI in today's Internet, the performance characteristics of the RPKI under potential usage models (i.e., the degree of "hosting" employed, cache replication strategies, etc.), and how deployments of the RPKI under these different deployment models might scale. This work is intended to be a first stab at addressing these questions, and the authors welcome feedback, corrections, comments, etc. Note this document does not try to estimate the increasing size of the RPKI system due to massive new connectivity expected as IPv6 grows. With these caveats in mind, we begin from the perspective of a thought exercise, and pose the following questions: i) What would be the size of a fully deployed RPKI, in today's Internet? ii) What is the complexity of finding/learning/gathering a fully deployed RPKI? iii) How long might such a gathering process actually take?

Companies are turning to technology to monitor their employee whereabouts and productivity. This could be beneficial but is that data collected about you really safe and what about your privacy?
One large company wanted to see if in person, face-to-face time versus working at home mattered so they had their employees wear badges that had tiny sensors installed. The sensors recorded their movements AND the tone of their conversations.
WBTV's cyber expert, Theresa Payton, helps us understand how companies are using this technology and what you need to know to protect your security and privacy:
Companies are using tracking devices that gather real time information on how teams work together, interact and how productive they are. For companies on the leading edge of this trend, they have show that the most productive teams are close knit and speak frequently in person.
Where the sensors may hide at work:
1. worn on your badge
2. in your office furniture such as a chair or a desk so it knows when you "leave"
3. integration of email traffic matched with recent company news
4. on doorways to the building, offices, break rooms, and conference rooms
What can they tell?
1. your overall voice tone
2. engagement in the current meeting that you are attending
3. one company that does this work says they can tell if an employee is likely to leave a company based on their behavior patterns on the sensors
4. sensors in meeting rooms that know when your badge enters / leaves the room
What should employers do?
1. Don't be creepy about it - tell your employees you are deploying the sensors and why
2. Before you embark on a plan to collect and analyze this data, think first about how you will protect individual privacy and security of the data

TED conversation conduct
Can we jointly define it? Beyond the obvious foul, hateful and distasteful language?
I shall propose a few thumb rules and request you to populate/edit the list. I think it can be of great help for all of us.
1. No personal attack.
2. Disagree with respect
3. Give humor a chance.
4. Don't loose an opportunity to complement a poster.
5. Let go the first chance to criticize.
6. Be succinct but expand when necessary.
7. Try to be on topic but if a thread developed a question more interesting than the original, continue it.
8. Make your stand clear, if you have one.
9. Don't withdraw a comment unless you are compelled by consideration. Please leave a hint why you did so.
10. Please leave a concluding message for a conversation that is closing.
Thanks to everybody.
Closing Statement from Pabitra Mukhopadhyay
Based on inputs from TEDsters here in open discourse it appears that an unofficial TED conversation conduct guideline may be as below:
1. No personal attack.
2. Disagree respectfully.
3. Give humor a chance.
4. Don't lose an opportunity to compliment a poster.
5. Let go the first chance to criticize a post.
6. Be succinct but expand when necessary.
7. Try to be on topic. If a thread develops a new question open a new conversation.
8. Make your stand clear, if you have one.
9. Don't withdraw a comment unless you are compelled by consideration. Please explain why you did so.
10. Please leave a concluding message for a conversation that is closing.
11. Never edit your comment beyond spelling and grammatical mistakes after someone has replied to it. If it is felt absolutely necessary for an edit after a reply, keep the original comment and add correction clearly mentioning it is an edited version.
12. Try to back up your comment with references if you are forwarding a claim. Your arguments will be more convincing if you provide supporting evidence, such as references for any statistics you cite or for claims about what scientific research says or what scientists believe.
13. Please interact with the commenters as a host of a conversation you started.
14. Draw your line between intellectual sparring and hazing. No trolls, bullying, multiple profile ganging up either.
15. Uphold the right of free speech but with responsibility and modesty.
16. Use TED email when you need to contact a poster directly.
Thanks to all participants and the TED conversation moderation team. Cheers!!

Random Chance 30+Apr 25 2013: On a rating scale:
I give #4 a 2. (mispelling)
#8 is a 1. sneaky there Pabitra.
#1 is both a 1 and a 10. That makes 11, a good score.
#5 got a 4 but could have gone higher if the option existed to criticize on the second or third chance.
#9 got a 3. Hint: compelled by what?
#2 All 1's
The rest failed to make the final round.
Language is beautiful even when foul or distasteful. In both, is humor.
I agree with no hateful language but............learning comes hard sometimes.
A land of zero-tolerance (even Ted-land), would be a very dangerous place indeed.
Acceptance of others, of what people say, how people feel, what they think, believe and what they come from, along with their personal life experiences, brings peace to the one who practices it.
In order to learn it, one needs an abundance of things that make them want to not accept.
Tolerance is for when one really cannot accept, then one tolerates the other.
To practice or have a zero-tolerance policy is dangerous and builds a prison around those who believe, think and live in this manner.
Some children in America have been led to jail, in handcuffs, for writing how much they love their friends on their school desk. With erasable ink. It is a zero-tolerance policy practiced by the school.
Some children from Scotland have been expelled from school in America for celebrating their Scottish holiday (after recently moving to the U.S.), by wearing a traditional Scottish kilt.
They were accused of cross-dressing and nothing could enlighten the accusers, zero-tolerance minds.
Four-year olds have been expelled for planting a kiss on another child's cheek. Again, zero-tolerance equates to zero-thinking which equates to very, very dangerous terrible-territory.
Apr 25 2013: Thanks for the spell check. I do not understand why you have to rate the points. It's a discussion, you can modify, object or accept. Or ignore. Anyway....
I do not agree with you that language is beautiful even when foul or distasteful and there is humor in foul/distasteful language. Certainly not in a discussion where the language is primarily for clarity and explanation of a point.
EDIT1 (after you added the last 4 paras): I take it that you are not inclined towards forming of such conduct rules?
Apr 25 2013: "To practice zero-tolerance policy is dangerous"
Not at all........that is why people are attracted to TED.
Many newcomers are amazed that many on here participate in conversations on a variety of very controversial hot topics and do so with respect and using appropriate language.
Other sites are not as nice, and it's a free for all.
I, for one, like the fact that TED removes people who come on here with foul language, demeaning remarks, and show no inclination to change how they choose to communicate their thoughts.
Apr 26 2013: Thank you for telling us about the editorial policy in weeding out postings with foul languages as well as those containing pure speculation without any sense. I also agree that in a scholarly discussion of many topics, we simply should never refuse any topics with no clear "evidence" or "facts" to back up. What about someone "dreamed up" something that has no evidence, but it is REMOTELY POSSIBLE? Furthermore, if people want to form an opinion, they can cite many so-called evidence which involves no statistics at all.
I am a professor in statistics. I don't want to confuse people by lot of statistical jargon. But, statisticians are invited to supervise to MAKE EVIDENCE from lab experiments or clinical trials. Of course, many opinions or study results in public opinion or drug effects are just a probabilistic measurement with no absolute certainty in the so-called evidence. But that's what we do, and I believe that these studies are absolutely necessary and worth doing.
Anyway, I also worked with people in psychology and sociology; so called soft sciences. When an opinion about the right or wrong policy, we always have opposite "evidence" from different parties. Even in that situation, should or shouldn't we allow discussions about the topic? In my view, we should not blindly refuse any topic, unless the topic is based on a clear rumor already refuted by reputable source. However, if it is a scenario dreamed up by somebody, it probably is justified to allow such conversation, because who are we to make a judgment that such thing will never happen?
Apr 26 2013: Hi Bart, hey, you're welcome.
I have been around TED a while, and have seen the removal of posts and posters who had no respect for the 'civilized' way in which we share information on here.
However, I have never seen people removed for pure speculation......that is, personal opinions and such.
Some of the conversations on here are very techniqual in nature, but others are more social or philosophical.
There's a little bit for everybody.
How neat that you are a professor of statistics. You have wonderful insights to share.
I really enjoyed reading your reply to me.
I wholeheartedly agree with you...."we should not blindly refuse any topic, unless it is based on a clear rumor already refuted by reputable sources. We are noone to make a judgment of whether some things will never happen."
By the way have you seen the wonderful talk on statistics by Hans Rosling:
Enjoy.....and welcome to TED
Apr 26 2013: I have observed the same thing, Mary. Sometimes when a person's comment is deleted, the person claims it was because TED didn't like the idea- because it challenged the status quo or something, but in truth a discussion site like TED loves to see a variety of uncommon ideas presented, including speculative ones. Discussion would not be meaningful or interesting without a range of ideas in play.
Comments, as I understand it, are deleted when they are personal attacks, when they are really over-the-top rude, when they are commercial promotions, or when it is something like a person posting under several aliases in the same thread to make it appear that a whole bunch of people are ridiculing a person or his position when, in fact, it is only one bully-type.
Apr 27 2013: You know Fritzie, when I joined TED alot of my comments were deleted. Then my conversations were destroyed to smithereens (did I spell that right?)
I remember a TEDster that would get really angry when TED removed comments that quoted from the Bible. And removed conversations dealing with spiritual issues.
Alot of people left the site because of it, or at least they do not post comments any more.
I have found that TED has realized that people want to talk about all kinds of stuff/topics/issues.....I mean, how can you post talks by evangelists, then tell the TED community that they cannot discuss the Bible?
And even though alot of the conversations are kinda like personal blogs, so what?
We all learn about topics we've wondered about, or get educated in something we had no idea about, and every once in a while have an exchange of really encouraging thoughts that bring smiles to our faces.
Look at Mr. Pinter below.....he once said in a conversation about popular scientists...
"Name of first scientist"----Gold
"Name of second scientist"----Fool's Gold
I still remember those humorous expressions to voice his opinion.
We've got ourselves some high class individuals here at TED.........don't we? ;)
Apr 27 2013: I agree with Mary because of my personal experience here in TED. At one point of time, I left TED as I had issues about how the site is moderated. I made public my stand on this in my own website and I believe many have read that. I came back here after I saw that TED has changed it's terms of use clauses meaningfully. Even then I was ready to leave the site at any point of time had there been issues between TED and I. I think I am still in a trust building (mutual) stage.
While I respect TED's obligations and founding principles to run the site, I also believe that the whole set up, that is TED and the commenters are in a learning process about the ideas of free speech, constructive conversations, conducts and responsibilities towards an emerging human knowledge repertoire. I sincerely believe that the conversations should not be directed towards any specific set of ideals (beyond etiquette and language based moderation).
I don't believe in God. So I find it necessary to talk to as many believers as non-believers to always keep on testing my belief. There is no guarantee that I may not change my belief someday.
Apr 27 2013: You have been here much longer than I have, Mary. And yes, I remember Kristzian's statement . Neil Degrasse Tyson was the Gold and Kaku the Fool's Gold. I remember it because it connects to the interesting problem of how people without any science background other than high school can learn science through internet sources, given how difficult it is for the layperson to distinguish the high quality from the low quality. Sometimes you can have people who really know "their stuff" but who lecture public audiences, or write for them, about other stuff. Other times you have perfectly knowledgeable people whose public words are shaped very much for crowd appeal.
Anyway, interesting question for anyone thinking about how lifelong learning or lifelong study works.

Breaking Down a Potential Troy Murphy Deal or In Two Days this May Have Proven A Waste of Time
Category: Uncategorized
Expiring contracts – noun
1. The end of an agreement between two or more parties for the doing or not doing of something specified.
2. NBA Fools Gold.
Expiring contracts are all the rage at the trade deadline. Teams like the Dallas Mavericks can dump a handful of Josh Howard's and Drew Gooden's on teams like the Washington Wizards and walk away with two possible puzzle pieces that fit nicely into their future. After a deal like that, every team's fan base scans the current situation in the NBA and says, "hey, if they can do it, we can do it. We might be able to get an impact guy for nothing."
But no, your favorite team probably can't do it and would be wise to avoid trying, because something for nothing doesn't exist. It never has and it never will, especially in the NBA and especially in smaller markets.
And as long as I'm throwing the word especially out there left and right … Especially in the case of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Lots of people are getting excited about the Bucks possibly making a big splash by Thursday's trade deadline. Reporters from ESPN, Yahoo, Sports Illustrated and elsewhere have been saying the Bucks are among the most active teams in the NBA right now with regard to making a deal, much to the surprise of many. John Hammond spent most of last summer attempting to make the Bucks as "flexible" as possible in the event that they wanted to make some deals down the road, but few people expected "down the road" to come so soon. But with the Bucks in the thick of the chase for the eighth seed in the East, the Bucks are under some pressure to pull the trigger on a deal to make them better now and give them a chance to win some games as they continue to look towards the future.
Which makes sense. The Bucks have contested that making the playoffs is an important part of young player development, so if they can ship out some of their expiring contracts acquired for flexibility purposes and bring back talent that will propel them into the playoffs without losing younger players, it's a win-win. Players will develop and the team will win games. Shipping out those who have expiring contracts doesn't matter anyway, say most, so it's just like getting something for nothing. But that doesn't exist.
The most talked about potential deal for Milwaukee has been the possible acquisition of Troy Murphy. Murphy is a slick shooting, rebounding, "stretch" four who seems to be a logical answer to the question, who can help the Bucks become more efficient on offense and do a better job on the boards? Murphy slides Luc Richard Mbah a Moute back down to the three, his most natural position in my opinion, and gives the Bucks a burly looking front-court. But at what price?
Talks have centered around expiring Buck contracts. Murphy's contract calls for $11,047,619 this season and $11,968,253 next season. So, the Bucks could toss the combined $12 million in expiring contracts of Kurt Thomas, Luke Ridnour and Francisco Elson at the Pacers and make the numbers work. But from a pure talent standpoint, that would be crazy for the Pacers to accept. So they wouldn't take something like that, especially if the Bucks aren't willing to part with a first round pick (which hasn't really been established either way at this point from what I understand, though the Bucks appear to be leaning against doing this). Indiana would probably counter (and reportedly has) with the inclusion of a young player in the trade, specifically Ersan Ilyasova. So, the Bucks would need to adjust the trade and replace Elson with Ilyasova. The numbers work, but now the Bucks are giving up two expiring contracts and a young player with (possibly) vast potential for the right to take a player off the Pacers hands that isn't really helping them win games anyway.
In addition, this sets the Bucks back for next season. The addition of Murphy and subtraction of Ilyasova would leave the Bucks with a payroll of $59,815,722 without including rookies and any free agents they'd want to add to their roster which would stand at nine. A few more signings and the Bucks are getting awfully close to the luxury tax line, which is at roughly $69 million this year and will likely be lower next.
Isn't that a little unbalanced? The Pacers don't NEED Troy Murphy. He probably is doing them more harm than good right now due to his contract size. So the Pacers are more or less asking the Bucks to take his contract off their hands and give them a young player too. Well, the Bucks have reportedly rebuked that offer and countered with the rationale that if they are taking a contract off the Pacers hands and giving them a young player, the Pacers must do something for the Bucks. Namely, taking the (small, but lengthy and therefore burdensome) contract of Charlie Bell back in return. As I just detailed, the Bucks would really harm their financial flexibility next season (they'd regain it after Murphy, Michael Redd and Dan Gadzuric would total over $37 million in expiring contracts next season) by taking on Murphy's deal. Including Bell and the remaining seven million dollars left on his deal allows the Bucks more wiggle room.
So here's a likely Bucks proposal, assuming the Pacers are hung up on getting Ilyasova and the Bucks really want Murphy:Bucks give: Thomas, Ridnour, Ilyasova and Bell
Pacers give: Murphy and Brandon Rush
The Bucks take on $14,037,293 in future salary obligations, but alleviates them of the $7,951,360 in Charlie Bell's future money, leaving them on the hook for just $6,085,933 additional money for the services of Murphy and Rush.
Inlcuding Bell would be the key to this deal if the Bucks were forced to give up Ilyasova. But even in this situation, the best of the best financially, the Bucks are still not getting Murphy for nothing. The Bucks operate in the harsh reality that is small market NBA basketball. Something for nothing is never an option when every dollar counts.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task.

well done. interesting analysis.
Good analysis, but I think the Bucks would be extremely foolish to make the trade above. They would be losing 4 rotation guys with good chemistry for 2 rotation guys with no chemistry. Depth at all positions is compromised and subject to a single injury the Bucks risk comprising their season and future.
Bucks offer whatever from the pool of: Warrick, Thomas, Alexander, Meeks, Elson, Gadz, Ridnour (as a last resort and only if they don't plan to re-sign him)
Ind: Murphy, (and maybe Rush)
Or better yet, get a third team involved.
Indiana is standing firm and making demands until the Cavs and other teams take their offers off the table. Otherwise, Washington would take a pick of those characters for Jamison. Signing Drew Gooden for a 1 or 2 year deal after the Wizards waive him is the last option at strengthing their front court.
They should trade KT or Warrick for Denver's first round pick.
Retract that statement for Denver's pick, I forgot they don't have a first round pick.
The biggest loss for the Bucks would be Ridnour. If Ridnour and Bell were both traded, the Bucks would actually probably look to get a point guard from somewhere, maybe in a smaller deal involving KT or Hak'. The emergency PG right now is Bell and if both he and Ridnour are on the move it'd leave the Bucks awfully slim. Ridnour has been so good, Milwaukee almost needs to consider bringing him back at half price next year, which is still a lot for a backup PG.
I think Gooden will land with a championship contender … or the Spurs. I like the way Indiana is playing their hand right now though, no need to rush.
As of now, according to ESPN insider, Gooden and his agent want a buyout in Washington with Milwaukee as his first choice for re-signing this season.
Matter of fact the best trade right now is probably
Wizards: Drew Gooden
Bucks: Joe Alexander and Francisco Elson
Not that I'm a Drew Gooden fan, but thats got to be worth something to both parties.

Round 11 of the 2013 Candidates Tournament in London took place today, and with each passing round we get a little closer to establishing the name of the next challenger for the World Chess Championship.
Tournament leader Magnus Carlsen faced Alexander Grischuk and played the Gruenfeld, which provoked an extraordinary caveman-style attack with 5.h4 from Grischuk! Carlsen's defense involved grabbing the b1-h7 diagonal with 8...Bf5 to blunt any possible attack. This proved to be effective and Grischuk could find nothing better than allowing a repetition after 23 moves.
Alexander Grischuk took the fight to leader Magnus Carlsen...
...but the Norwegian was less ruffled than his hair might suggest
Vladimir Kramnik had the white pieces against Teimour Radjabov and piled on the agony for the Azerbaijani by scoring another win. Radjabov spent a lot of time trying to find an answer to Kramnik's play, leaving himself only 7 minutes for 14 moves. Short of time, his pawn grab with 28...Qxa2 proved to be a blunder, allowing 33.Nxe7! losing the exchange and soon the game.
Teimour Radjabov ran into more trouble against Vladimir Kramnik
The clash between Vassily Ivanchuk and Boris Gelfand was the first game to finish after the players reached a repetition after just 17 moves.
No time trouble for Ivanchuk today...his game only lasted 17 moves
The last game to finish was the encounter between Peter Svidler and Lev Aronian. Aronian started the round only ½ point behind the leader Magnus Carlsen, and Peter Svidler had fallen down the standings after a promising start to the tournament. However, today Svidler played well and had a slight advantage when Aronian seemed to self-destruct with the astonishing moves 22...g5 and 23...b5. A modest Svidler said "I can definitely say I got a bit lucky today".
Svidler put a huge dent in Aronian's chances of winning the tournament
So Magnus Carlsen still leads, but his closest pursuer is now Vladimir Kramnik who is just half a point behind. Lev Aronian is a full point behind the leader. Aronian has the white pieces against Kramnik in round 12 tomorrow, and a decisive result either way will probably end the tournament chances of the loser.
The standings after 11 rounds
The 2013 Candidates Tournament runs from 14 March - 2 April in London, with the winner earning the right to challenge current world champion Vishy Anand for the title.
The tournament is an 8-player double round-robin event and the venue is The IET at 2 Savoy Place on the banks of the river Thames. The total prize fund is €510,000 (approx 665,000 USD).
All rounds start at 14:00 GMT, and the time control is 2 hours for 40 moves, then an extra hour added for the next 20 moves, then 15 minutes more with a 30 second increment to finish.
The official FIDE website coverage is at london2013.fide.com.
Round-by-Round Pairings

jeez, where did aronian come up with g5?

[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: Open Oyster, Find Pearl
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Ross Kenneth Urken and "Mad Money" research director Nicole Urken help Jim Cramer understand Oyster, a new company.
Oyster is a young start-up company out of New York that runs a streaming book service with a monthly subscription.
What Netflix (NFLX) is to streaming video, Oyster is to streaming books.
Streaming books will encourage more reading, Nicole Urken suggested.While many prefer to read on a bigger screen, Oyster is only available on Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and iPod Touch so far, she added. Cramer said he is an avid reader but prefers the physical books. The streaming service sounds interesting and could be more attractive on different (and bigger) devices, he said. Ross Kenneth Urken said the company will bring the service to more devices over time. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

County seeking bids for Lincoln Road
Published on Thu, Mar 31, 2011 by
By Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
Whatcom County public works has gone out for bid for the Lincoln Road improvement project as the Birch Bay Water and District prepares to do its own work on a waterline running beneath the road.
District assistant manager Dan Eisses said he's working on three bids for the waterline replacement project that the county wants completed before county crews start work on Lincoln Road on May 1. Eisses said about $150,000 in district funds have been budgeted for the project.
County public works will widen Lincoln Road between Harborview and Shintaffer to 12-foot lanes with 8-foot paved shoulders. Dedicated left-turn lanes at the intersections, wetland mitigation and storm water treatment facilities will also be included in the $3.9 million project. Lincoln Road will be reduced to one lane with safety flaggers between May and October.
The existing pipe running the length of the road is almost 35 years old and will be replaced with a smaller diameter pipe, Eisses explained. The smaller diameter will not reduce water available to any district customers in the area, he noted.
Eisses expects the district's work to take about seven days, during which time the road will be reduced to one lane. For its portion of the work, the district will hire flaggers, who are paid between $25 and $30 per hour.
The district's work could be completed while the county improves the road, saving money and reducing the time traffic is constricted, if Eisses gets a reasonable bid from whichever contractor the county ends up using. County public works staff offered to include the waterline work in their project costs, but Eisses said he declined because that might have lead to a higher price for the district.
The county could choose the lowest bidder for the road improvements, but not necessarily for the waterline work, Eisses explained.
The county will examine the bids it receives for the road work on April 12.

In a recent story published by the Sydney Morning Herald, BrickHouse Security was cited for its cutting edge technology that allows entangled lovers to investigate their suspicions. Describing the frames of a film that lead to a ravaged spouse, lover, or "friend" tearing apart the house, the article delves into the modern methods of "snooping."
Secrets are no longer hidden under the mattress or at the bottom of the sock drawer–they are in intricate signals, hard drives, and wires of the much more elusive cell phone. The article mentions BrickHouse's Sim Card Spy Elite which allows users to access all SMS text messages that have been stored on the phone's SIM card, even messages that have been deleted.Read More →

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says there will be an NFL season in 2011. Labor talks collapsed on Friday, the union decertified and star players asking for a preliminary injunction making the future season is more than a little shaky.
It seems every football fan's eyes and ears are glued to the t-v to see if the two sides will come together in order to save the season. Patrick Kerr and his son Colin are huge football fans who look forward to the NFL season every year. But the possibility of no football comes as a blind side to their season routine.
Chiefs season ticket holders for three decades. He became a Chiefs fan by going to games with his dad when he was a young boy. Now he's sharing that experience with his son colin. A lockout now threatens that experience.
"Even though we have supported the team for decades and decades, we don't have a voice in this," said football fan Patrick Kerr. "That's why I feel especially betrayed by the situation."
NFL players can sue the league and several have already filed an anti-trust lawsuit. They hope their efforts prevent the lockout from going into the 2011 season.

NEW YORK (AP) — Schlumberger's first-quarter net income fell 3 percent, weighed down in part by a restructuring charge. Its adjusted results beat Wall Street's expectations.
The first quarter traditionally includes a seasonal slowdown of some business.
The world's largest oilfield service company earned $1.26 billion, or 94 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31. That's down from $1.3 billion, or 97 cents per share, a year ago.
The current quarter included a restructuring charge of $92 million.
Excluding the charge and other items, earnings from continuing operations were $1.01 per share compared with 96 cents per share in the prior-year period.
Analysts predicted earnings of 98 cents per share, according to a FactSet survey.
Revenue increased 8 percent to $10.67 billion from $9.92 billion, helped by higher oilfield services revenue. Wall Street expected $10.71 billion in revenue.
Oilfield services revenue climbed in Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, Europe, Russia and Africa. It declined in North America.
Schlumberger said Friday that it still expects growth in line with expectations for regions such as Sub-Sahara Africa, Russia, the Middle East, China and Australia for the rest of the year. The forecast for North America is still uncertain because of lower-than-expected pricing and ongoing softness in pricing.
Schlumberger Ltd. has principal offices in Paris, Houston and The Hague. It has about 120,000 employees in more than 85 countries.
Its shares finished at $71 per share on Thursday. They have traded in a 52-week range of $59.12 to $82 per share.

Now, I know this has a lot of ingredients, but if you don't have all of the various spices then please use 3 tablespoons of curry powder and a pinch of cinnamon. I used whole seeds in this recipe, but you don't have to if the texture bothers you. They will get stuck in your teeth a bit, but flossing is a good thing, right? The cumin seeds don't and really add a special flavor POP, but if you only have ground cumin that's OK. It will still be delicious.
You will notice the inclusion of chili powder, yellow mustard and white vinegar. I use what I have on hand to create certain flavors, but you can certainly add lime juice. I would have used lime juice in the past for sure and it's super yummy! I topped my bowl with toasted coconut.
Notice, I use the cilantro STEMS here? They add that amazing cilatnro flavor and the texture of the stems pops in your mouth. *plus you save the rest for a pretty garnish and use in other dishes!*.
I used my pressure cooker. You can cook it on the stove, but don't add the Tony's or Salt until the beans are cooked. I think you will need to cook this for at least an hour to get it good and creamy.
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 6 cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Cayenne to taste (I like it spicy so I added 1 tablespoon, that will probably be too much for most people)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Tony's Creole seasoning
- 1 pound dried yellow split peas
- 8 cups water
- Stems from 1 bunch of cilantro (around ½ cup chopped)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- Soy sauce and black pepper to taste
- Over medium high heat add the coconut oil and the spices. Wait til the seeds start to pop then add the onions, garlic, ginger and Tony's (or salt)
- Turn heat to medium and saute the veggie/spice mixture for 5 minutes
- Add split peas and water
- Lock pressure cooker lid, turn to high heat and bring to high pressure for 3 minutes.
- Turn off heat, let the pressure come down naturally
- Stir in rest of ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasonings
- Drool all over your bowl and try to stop eating before you get too stuffed!

Since becoming the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt has worked with Puma to develop a unique range of footwear. The result of this collaboration is the Bolt Lite. Taking inspiration from Archive styles such as the iconic Suede and Suede Mid, these styles have morphed into something from the future. The shoes are made of a light, breathable mesh on the upper, often seen on performance running shoes, and stand on a super lightweight injection moulded EVA rubber outsole for superior traction. The outcome is quite impressive – old school sneakers with new school technology. What's more, the low top weights only 144 grams and the mid top 176 grams. Combining elegant, traditional silhouettes with the need to be lightweight, you too can feel like you are running on air! The Bolt Lites are available in Grey Violet/Buttercup, Black/White, Green/White, Surfweb/White (blue) in sizes 7-11. Find out more about the new Bolt Lites here.

Game of the Decade: Championship Round
[Update: The Game of the Decade has been named! Click here for tribute to the winner and a look back at how we got here.]
This is why we can't have nice things! Late Thursday night, a cordial Final Four vote devolved into a crazy maelstrom of weird voting spikes and last-minute turnarounds. Was there skulduggery afoot? As it happens, yes. Incredibly clumsy skulduggery.
Here's how the polls stood at midnight after an enormous 11th-hour comeback by Halo and a similarly huge groundswell for SSBM:
Halo: Combat Evolved 5,366; World of Warcraft 5,058.
Super Smash Bros. Melee 4,322; Half-Life 2 3,417.
We checked the voting logs to see if games had gotten multiple votes from a single IP address. Now, more than one vote from an IP is not inherently bad. Maybe you have a bunch of people voting in one office, or family members voting from the same home. That's fine. But when it gets into big numbers, it smells fishy. And when we looked over the voting logs, the numbers got big real fast. Somebody at IP XXX.225.83.119 voted for Super Smash Bros. a whopping 1,692 times. Not to be outdone, a gremlin at XXX.233.205.51 cast 2,228 rapid-fire ballots for Halo -- all by his lonesome!
So obviously, those votes are disqualified, obliterating the supposed winners' margin of victory. But of course, we wondered, what if there had been ballot-stuffing on both sides? We dug a little more and decided to check how many unique IPs voted for each game.
World of Warcraft vs. Halo
Unique IPs for WoW: 4,843
Unique IPs for Halo: 2,117
Super Smash Bros. Melee vs. Half-Life 2
Unique IPs for SSMB: 1,454
Unique IPs for HL2: 3,258
After we saw those numbers, we had little doubt about the true winners. Not only do Super Smash Bros. Melee and Halo lose, they lose in the most disgraceful fashion, their fan bases besmirched by cheaters in their midst. For shame.
It's also worth noting how honest the WoW and HL2 voters were -- their numbers are squeaky clean! Gold stars all around. (Oh, and in case you're wondering, this is the first evidence we've had of tampering; all the earlier polls were legit.)
Whew. Let's put that ugliness aside. Ladies and gentlemen, we present your Game of the Decade championship round.
|The Final Four
Koopa Division Winner
8. Super Smash Bros. Melee
Alucard Division Winner
|Championship Round
Chocobo Division Winner
2. World of Warcraft
Bo Jackson Division Winner
This is it. Ten years, 64 games, more than 35,000 ballots cast, and two worthy finalists. When this (closely monitored!) poll closes on Sunday night at midnight Eastern, you will have your Game of the Decade. There's nothing left to do but vote.
Good luck and godspeed to both of these great games. Check back Monday for a glowing tribute to the GOTD winner.

JIMMY FALLON spoofed the "Evolution of Dance" viral video for Father's Day and turned it into "The Evolution Of Dad Dance," star news reports.
Just after joining the bandwagon and doing a cover of "Call My Maybe" with Carly Rae Jepsen, the funnyman himself from "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" recently made a remake of the viral video, "Evolution of Dance," and turned it into his version as a tribute to dads everywhere for Father's Day—aptly called "The Evolution of Dad Dancing."
Like the original video, Jimmy dances on a little stage in front of a single spotlight… But instead of doing signature dances to hit songs from the past generations to present, he exhibited common moves made famous by fathers from all over the world.
A middle-aged Fallon, complete with spectacles, does awkward "fatherly" dance moves such as the "Clap When You Want To," the "Random Pointer," the "Shake Your Booty (Until You Hurt Your Back)" and the wrongly spelled "YMUC" in the hysterical 2-minute video.
Check it out here:
What do you think of Jimmy's video parody?

With a traditional strap-style hinge, the gate's weight can loosen the wood grain around the screws, leading to sag. By contrast, the GForce Hinge has flanges that grab the top and bottom of the 2-by rail, and the gate's weight compresses the wood grain, limiting sag. Fastening the hinge to the framing also means that the gate can be built in place, making it easy to achieve an exact fit. All Weather Fence, 850.916.0570, gforcehinge.com

The federal and provincial governments are chipping in, but Saskatoon taxpayers will pay for the north commuter bridge and the Traffic Bridge replacement for the next 30 years.
Federal and provincial politicians committed a total of $116 million for the two bridges; the city will be on the hook for the rest of the cash for construction and maintenance.
The new north commuter bridge will connect the city's bustling northeast residential neighbourhoods with the busy north-end business district.
The 107-year-old Traffic Bridge that connected Victoria Avenue to the downtown will be replaced with a replica bridge with wider lanes. It's expected to cost around $35 million.
The same contractor will build both bridges at the same time using a public/private partnership model, meaning the contractor will be responsible for everything including the design, financing, building, and maintenance of the two bridges.
Under the agreement, the city will hand over as much as $10 million to the contractor. Some of it - in the range of $2.5 to $3 million - will go to cover maintenance costs once the bridges are built; $7.8 million a year will be paid in annual instalments to the contractor.
While civic officials said the model could save $26.6 million in civic operating costs, a new city report says taxpayers will fork over $127 million in interest payments to the private contractor over the next 30 years under the P3 regime.
Those interest payments mean the total cost of the two-bridge project, including interest, could be as high as $384 million.
"No mill rate increase (will be) required for construction, (but) additional mill rate funds (will be) required for maintenance," Marlys Bilanski, the city's general manager of asset and financial management, told Monday's city council meeting.
The federal government will contribute up to $60.8 million to the project through the P3 Canada Fund. The province will pitch in $50 million.
Regardless of the expense, local politicians expressed pride in the bridge announcement.
"We want to thank all the citizens of Saskatoon for their patience. We are going to shorten their commute," Mayor Don Atchison told reporters at the funding announcement Monday morning.
The road to the new bridge funding had its speed bumps. Provincial officials had long been reluctant to commit funding to the project because it included the downtown Traffic Bridge.
Premier Brad Wall said municipal officials and Saskatoon MLAs did a great job of lobbying the province and getting the provincial government on board.
"I'm in Saskatoon a lot, and I get the traffic issues, I get the significant growth," Wall said.
While provincial officials said Monday their contribution is dedicated to the north commuter bridge only, Wall admitted to reporters that the province's $50 million is for the entire project, which includes both bridges.
"Obviously the money will be there and the city might use it flexibly for either project," Wall said.
City council will likely select a contractor to design, build and maintain the new bridges later this year.
If all goes according to plan, the bridges could be built as soon as 2018, officials said.
$252.6M: Estimated cost of the project, excluding interest payments
$194M: Estimated cost of the north commuter bridge
$35M: Estimated cost of the Traffic Bridge replacement
$50M: Provincial cash for the P3 project
$60.8M: Federal cash for the P3 project
$30M: One-time borrowing the city will pay back using tax dollars over 10 years
$7.8M: Annual payments the city will make to the contractor over the next 30 years, to a total of $234M, including interest
$127.4M: Total interest the city will pay to the contractor over that 30-year period.
$20M: Money left over from Evergreen neighbourhood development
$2.5M: Estimated annual operating costs

"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"
"I should have ordered more! This card turned out really well. I used the plain green/blue back and used a white pen to write personal messages to recipients. I had professional newborn photos done, so this was a good way to showcase them. Other colour options would be great."
"This card was beautiful. Everyone loved it! I used it as a thank you/birth announcement for my 2 month old christening and for family/freinds who had given us a gift when he was born. I included pictures on the front of my 2 month old by himself and two pictures on the back with his big brother. I like the square sized card. As well added the shimmer. Looks elegant. Love the card and love working with tiny prints.i included a picture because when I read reviews I enjoy seeing the product the customer actual has in hand."
"What an amazing product. I have gotten more phone calls and emails asking where I got my son's birth announcements. They turned out just like they showed on the previews. VERY fast service and a great product. Also very easy to edit and add your information to the card. I would highly recommend them."
"This looked as great as I expected. I had photos on the front and the back of this car, all good quality. The cardstock was heavy and seemed worth what I paid. Love the simple and elegant design. I'd get this card again. My only critique would be that the rectangular envelopes for the square cards are a very snug, tight fit. I was having to shove the card in there as gently as I could. It worked out though..."

In 1973, I was 26 years old, my daughter was born, and, one of my best friends, then 24, died of complications due to alcoholism. Sometimes, I think what I would have missed if I had done likewise. Heaven knows, I was on the same path.
So every once and awhile, I take a break from wine (and other alcoholic beverages). Mostly, just show myself that I can, lose a few pounds and keep a sense of perspective. But in some part, in consideration of both my daughter and all the time I have had and will continue to have with her, and, my late friend and all the time we didn't and won't ever have together.
For the past several weeks, I have been on the wagon – but I'm back.
2004 J. Drouhin, Morgon:
Correct, precise and restrained; I think, hiding a depth and structure that will serve it well medium term. Good now, probably better tomorrow.
1999 G. Robin, Crozes Hermitage, Cuvée Alberic Bouvet:
Slightly closed the first day but still a fine drink; the second day, a prime example of its variety but it might be mistaken for good Côte-Rôtie. Exceptional, complex and showing no signs of fade; quite the contrary, excellent development.
2004 Descendientes de J. Palacios, Bierzo Pétalos:
Very concentrated and evident but very fine, chalky tannins with good balance and intensity. Nothing thick or over-done here; bodes well for a future in the cellar but delicious with stronger flavored fare today.
2002 Tamellini, Soave Classico Anguane:
Ah, Soave . . . spicy, crystalline, lively and complex; all one could want in a white wine to serve along side pasta with lemon shrimp. Beautiful.
1995 Caprai, Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni:
Initial aromas of warm earth, cooked fruit and leather, becomes more oaky with time; still substantial tannins but not overwhelming (anymore) with solid fruit and mineral tones and too much wood. Pretty good when served with assorted cheeses, not especially pleasant on its own.
1999 Chevillon, Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Pruliers:
Poured one short pour upon opening and left the bottle open for four hours; youthful, complex and obviously Nuits, this is of a whole cloth; delicious today but the quality is so recognizable that there is little doubt it is on its way to being a great wine. Hold.
Best, Jim

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A former Minnesota Senate aide who was fired over an affair with the chamber's majority leader is narrowing his lawsuit against the state.
Michael Brodkorb was fired last year after Senate leaders discovered his affair with then-Majority Leader Amy Koch. Brodkorb is suing the state over his dismissal.
In legal papers filed Thursday, the two sides agreed that Brodkorb would drop several invasion-of-privacy claims related to media reports that he had filed unsuccessfully for unemployment benefits.
His attorney, Phil Villaume, said he and his client decided to narrow the lawsuit to the defamation and gender discrimination claims. Brodkorb has claimed that he was unfairly treated because female Senate staffers carried on affairs without being punished.
Recently, the tab for the Minnesota Senate's legal costs related to the lawsuit topped $100,000.
The Associated Press obtained copies of the latest two invoices, which totalled $17,719 from a private firm -- Larkin Hoffman Attorneys -- for work performed in June and July.
Combined with legal bills going back to January, the Senate's costs have reached over $102,403 in the continuing legal dispute.
Brodkorb filed the suit last month, alleging that he was treated unfairly because female employees involved in similar relationships didn't lose their jobs.

(For Bloomberg fair value curves, see CFVL <GO>)
July 24 (Bloomberg) -- West Texas Intermediate crude fell the most in more than a month as U.S. output surged to a 22-year high last week and Chinese manufacturing contracted more than economists estimated.
Futures fell as much as 2.2 percent after the Energy Information Administration said crude production rose 0.9 percent to 7.56 million barrels a day, the most since December 1990. Crude and fuel supplies declined, the report showed. The HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics China manufacturing gauge came in at 47.7, according to a preliminary survey of purchasing managers. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg forecast 48.2.
"There were good-sized supply draws but we still have a surplus," said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York. "We aren't going to see a deficit anytime soon. The market has been paying a lot of attention to China recently so the weak Chinese data is also relevant."
WTI oil for September delivery slipped $2, or 1.9 percent, to $105.23 a barrel at 1:58 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange, heading for the biggest decline since June 20. The volume of all futures traded was near the 100-day average for the time of day. Prices have advanced 9 percent this month and are up 15 percent this year.
Brent crude for September settlement dropped $1.59, or 1.5 percent, to $106.83 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The volume of all futures traded was 13 percent below the 100-day average. The European benchmark grade traded at a $1.60 premium to WTI, up from $1.19 yesterday. Brent slid below the U.S. grade in intraday trading on July 19 for the first time since August 2010.
Crude Supplies
U.S. crude production has surged as the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has unlocked supplies trapped in shale formations in the central part of the country.
Crude stockpiles decreased 29.9 million barrels in the four weeks ended July 19, the largest four-week drop in data dating to 1982, according to the EIA, the Energy Department's statistical unit. Inventories surged to 397.6 million on May 24, the most since 1931.

Take that with a grain of salt if you wish but what really struck me is that she described working in Hogsmeade as her dream job and it's clear that all the WWoHP team members can't wait to open to the general public. Pretty cool.
