Former England international Mark Ramprakash empathises from personal experience with the retirement decision that is soon to face India's great batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
Tendulkar is facing calls from some quarters to call it a day as his outstanding international career enters its twilight. England have restricted the Little Master to scores of 13, eight and eight so far midway through a Test series, which is level at 1-1 after the tourists' famously unexpected victory in Mumbai.
When Ramprakash retired almost six months ago, then aged 42, it was clearly one of the toughest calls of his life after a 25-year professional career, and he said: "When you have played the game with such dedication and professionalism as Sachin and Ricky Ponting - often they have put so much into the game - it can become difficult to realise 'I am not on it as I usually am'."
At the age of 39, and with the third Test looming in Kolkata next week, Tendulkar's future has become a hot topic in the sub-continent especially.
It is all the more so, perhaps, after Ponting - fellow record-breaking batsman and great contemporary of Tendulkar's - announced on Thursday that the ongoing Perth Test against South Africa will be his last for Australia.
Ramprakash, scorer of 100 first-class hundreds, never quite scaled the heights of Tendulkar and Ponting in international cricket that his imperious performances at county level suggested he should.
He added: "It is almost as though they are on auto-pilot. They train, they work hard and play and don't know any different.
"Going on my own experience, it can be difficult to realise you might be one per cent off it mentally or physically with training ... you're not quite on it - because you still believe you can do it."
His fellow ex-Middlesex batsman, Australian Test star Justin Langer, knew when the time was right.
"Justin said for him it was a relief to retire," added Ramprakash. "He knew he was not enjoying it and therefore giving up was a relief. It is a very difficult period for players who have played at highest level to give up."

Skip to comments.North Korean army: We have final approval to launch nuclear strikes on the U.S.
Posted on 04/03/2013 5:46:15 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
click here to read article
At Wilshire elementary, San Antonio (within Cuban missile range) we would do that, and tuck our heads between our legs, covering up with our arms.
We understood even then that we did this so we could kiss our butts goodbye.
Recall then that we had a tough-talking Dem CIC who had been shown up over the U2 incident, at the Vienna Conference and the Bay of Pigs.
Books are full of World War III scenarios where country A nukes country B; country B retaliates against country C; country C retaliates against country D ... pretty soon everyone blows up everyone else.
Did you ever see a nuclear reaction modeled with mouse traps loaded with ping-pong balls?
The Mouse that Roared.
When I read that, I actually pictured Obama as Zoltar.
It's on YouTube.
But with regard to World War III ... I think that this simulation is very, very applicable. When nukes start flying countries will be forced to launch whatever they have, against those who are responsible and against those who haven't launched yet. There won't be time to investigate. NK can become an initiator of such a chain reaction.
The World War III is not a certainty, of course, even if NK manages to set up a few explosions in a few countries. (If they do, I'm pretty sure they will do it by smuggling a nuke in, not by flying it on a poorly made rocket.) It all depends on rational thinkers in governments of victim countries.
...sounds like something Borat would say

The Maestro 3100 can calculate routes based on fastest time, shortest distance, least or most use of freeways, and without toll roads. There's a route simulator to give you a running demo of the trip, as well as a detour option if you want to avoid a certain portion of the route. The system provides text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, but unfortunately, the basic 3100 doesn't support Magellan's SayWhere text-to-speech feature. This means the system won't speak actual street names but will give you more generic directions like "Turn right in 0.5 miles." We do like that the unit will alert you to an upcoming turn with a chime (or bell or beep). If you do happen to miss a turn, you can rest easy, as the Maestro does automatic route recalculation.
The 3100 offers several map screens. First off, you get your choice of 2D (north up or tracking up) or 3D map modes with night or day color. In addition to that, you can get just a list of maneuvers or a split-screen view that shows both your 3D map and your next maneuver. We particularly liked this screen, as it gave us a better view of the next turn, which can sometimes get lost with the smaller text and icons when in map view alone.
The Magellan Maestro 3100 points of interest (POI) database contains 750,000 entries, which isn't quite as robust as other systems in terms of numbers. You do get all the major categories, including gas stations, ATMs, and restaurants by cuisine type. You can drill down to more specific interests, as well, with more specific POIs, such as museums, coffee shops, and sports stadiums. American Automobile Association members may be disappointed to learn that the 3100 doesn't have the AAA features found on the Maestro 4040, meaning you can't access information for AAA-approved auto repair facilities, AAA Diamond-rated lodging and restaurants, and more, from the device. There is a nice safety feature, though. If you need roadside assistance for any reason, you can tap on the tow truck icon on the main menu page and get your exact location, closest intersection, longitude and latitude coordinates, and other information, for easy reference.
The Magellan Maestro 3100 got off to a bit of a rocky start when we first fired up the device. We went through the typical setup procedures of picking our time zone, units of measure, and accepting the user agreement. However, at the end of this process, the system froze on us and we had to restart the device. This happened two more times before we actually got to the Main Menu page--not good.
We took the Maestro 3100 for a test-drive in San Francisco, and from a cold start, it took about 2 minutes for the unit to get a GPS fix under cloudy skies; subsequent starts were faster. It was able to retain a strong lock as we drove throughout the city and accurately pinpointed our location. We also programmed our standard trip from the Marina district of San Francisco to CNET's downtown headquarters. The 3100 returned with directions in less than a minute, but route recalculations were a little more sporadic. For the most part, the system generated a new route quickly, but there were several times where we missed a turn because the 3100 instructed us to take the next street just as we drove past it. The Magellan Maestro 3100's battery is rated for 3 hours (with the backlight at the dimmest setting), which is on the low side.

Empirical results on the size distribution of business cycle phases
We study the size distribution of business cycles phases, that is expansions and contractions, for a sample of 16 industrialized countries over 120 years. We find that the best-fitting distribution for both expansions and contractions is Weibull, meaning that business cycles possess a characteristic scale. Furthermore, we discuss how parameters' estimates can be used to make inference on the probability a typical episode ends, that is on what economists call turning points.

An unexplained excess of overweight has been reported among lesbians. In contrast, reports suggest that gay men may be, on average, slightly lighter and shorter than heterosexual men. We studied associations between weight, length, and body mass index (BMI) at birth and same-sex marriage in young adulthood among 818,671 Danes. We used linear regression to calculate differences in mean body measures at birth and Poisson regression analysis to calculate confounder-adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRR) of same-sex marriage according to body measures at birth. Overall, 739 persons entered same-sex marriage at age 18–32 years during 5.6 million person-years of follow-up. Birth year-adjusted mean body measures at birth were similar for same-sex married and other women. However, same-sex marriage rates were 65% higher among women of heavy birth weight (IRR = 1.65; 95% CI = 1.18–2.31, for ≥4000 vs. 3000–3499 g, p = .02), and rates were inversely associated with birth length (p trend = .04). For same-sex married men, birth year-adjusted mean weight (−72 g, p = .03), length (−0.3 cm, p = .04), and BMI (−0.1 kg/m2, p = .09) at birth were lower than for other Danish men. Same-sex marriage rates were increased in men of short birth length (IRR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.01–2.08, for ≤50 vs. 51–52 cm), although not uniformly so (p trend = .16). Our population-based findings suggest that overweight in lesbians may be partly rooted in constitutional factors. Novel findings of smaller average body measures at birth in same-sex marrying men need replication. Factors affecting intrauterine growth may somehow influence sexual and partner-related choices in adulthood.

Stockton has again become the nation's No. 1 foreclosure market.
RealtyTrac, which monitors foreclosures nationwide, said Stockton had a higher foreclosure rate than any other metro area in the U.S. in the first half of 2012.
About 2.7 percent of homes — one of every 38 — received some sort of foreclosure filing between January and June. That's more than triple the national rate of 0.8 percent.

Kid Rock
Tish Ciravolo Gives Girls Their Own Axes to Grind with Her Daisy Rock Guitars
Now there is—and for young girls at that. Daisy Rock Girl Guitars, launched by Ciravoio last year, come in heart and daisy shapes and bright colors and have bodies that are up to 40 percent smaller than a grown-up guitar. "I love this," says Sheyna Gee, 13, of Upland, Calif. "It's way easier to play and it's scaled down to my body size."
Inspired by a 2000 doodling session at home in Burbank with daughter Nicole, now 4 (daughter Sophia is 2), Ciravoio, 39, pitched the idea to the president of Schecter Guitar Research: her husband, Michael. "She's passionate about this," says Michael, 41, "which is good, because a lot of people in this business are burnt."
With sales of the guitars (they range from $239 to $399) topping 300 a month and fans like rocker Lisa Loeb—who says, "If I were 9, I'd want to play the guitar after seeing a Daisy Rock"—Ciravoio has a new rock fantasy. She hopes that someday a woman Grammy winner will thank Daisy Rock for prompting her to become a musician. Thinking about that, says Ciravoio, "I get all these chills."

The Scot insists his squad are not feeling nervous ahead of their Premier League clash with West Ham, which could potentially bring them their third successive home top-flight lossManchester United boss David Moyes insists there is no fear within his squad as they look to avoid a third straight league defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.
|Manchester United are 8/1 with Bet365 to beat West Ham 2-1 on Saturday
But Moyes is adamant that there are no nerves surrounding the upcoming clash and believes United fans and player alike are keen to get back to winning ways.
"The results have not been what we wanted," Moyes told reporters. "Because of that, words like nervy, vulnerability, anxious all come to mind.
"But I have never personally found that. The fans have backed the team. They know we need to play better and we need to score some more goals but it has not been for the want of trying."
Moyes also believes the festive period coming up, which sees United
"I remember the days when it was quite often two games in two days," said the Scot.
"I played in situations like that. We are complaining now because it is two in three days but we are used to playing at Christmas in our country."

Jacob Hunt is a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject -- in his case, forensic analysis. He's always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do...and he's usually right. But then his town is rocked by a terrible murder and, for a change, the police come to Jacob with questions. The hallmarks of Asperger's can look a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel. Suddenly, his family is forced to wonder: Did Jacob commit murder?

Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Movies That Matter
Sunday, May 5, 2013
1:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Hollywood has long been known as the Dream Factory. But what happens when the dream dies?
That's the story told by director Billy Wilder in Sunset Boulevard, which finds a broke screenwriter (William Holden) becoming the kept boy toy of a fading silent movie star (Gloria Swanson) who is so bent on a comeback that she's sliding into madness.

Pumpkin & Almond Halwa
Pumpkin & Almond Halwa
One night I came home from work to find my mum experimenting in the kitchen. She'd grown tired of waiting for me to use up the leftover pumpkin that was hibernating my kitchen for the last few weeks! This is a variation on the traditional Carrot Halwa (Gajar Ka Halwa) made with pumpkin and some ingredients we found hiding away in the store cupboards.
*** Warning: a seriously sweet, fudgy and totally yummy treat***

cupboard and urinating throughout.
Senior Constable Chris Blackford said the 29-year-old, who
was grossly intoxicated, did not know anyone at the Shotover
St apartment she barged into on Thursday.
She has been charged with wilful damage and being unlawfully

nature trips

Trail starts at Devils Punchbowl County Park. Take the burkhart trail south of the lot. You will do the bulk of the climbing in the first mile a portion of which is on a dirt road. At the 1 mile mark the trail becomes a nice single track and the views begin to improve.You will cross a couple small creeks, (you won't get wet) The trail stays pretty flat until about the 3 mile mark. it then descends to the devils chair. There are nice views of the Mojave Desert. The chair is interesting if not a bit anticlimactic (there are better views at other spots along the trail) but a nice photo op. & miles a really nice moderate hike.

views are gorgeous. wouldn't call the trail easy as the hike back from the chair is steep and rather difficult. hike is is also an incline. once it evens out, it's very enjoyable. not too crowded and we went at 10. make sure to bring water and snacks!

Great hike. Steady climb for first mile then evens out. Beautiful views along the way. Didn't expect the up and down towards the end but definitely worth it!
Jason Ethridge

Most of the hike is easy, with the first leg, going up the fire road being moderate, and the climb back up from Devil's Chair being difficult. The scenery is pretty cool, but keep your eyes on the trail; it is narrow in sections and there are some areas that are washed out. Shade is pretty abundant once you get off the fire road, but the heat can get rough; you're not very high in the mountains, so desert temps are common. I usually this hike twice a year; spring and fall; summer is too hot here and this trail would be treacherous with snow on it.

It starts off a little rough imo but as soon as you hit your first sign that leads you to the chair its amazing great views, great easy long hike! Took me and my mother about 5 hours with a nice picnic at the end ! Make sure you bring water it can get pretty hot.

The hike was fun and my dog had a blast. The views of the fault rock formations are amazing and breathtaking. What makes this place so cool is that it's a county park and the whole thing is free. They have a nice bird cage with some owls and a few hawks in it as well as a Interpretive center for the young kids. If the Chair is not on yer list you can literally just wonder around and not get lost. The creek was cool and we saw some free climbers too. Have been there quite a few times and would definitely go back. They also have guided night hikes, really cool spot.

The Devils Chair Trail is awesome, a bit sketchy after the green Water Tank, after that it's crystal clear where to go. Best to pickup a free copy of the map trail just in case. Prepare for a seven mile hike or five hours minimum. This trail specially you'll want to bring a lot of water.

Very first trail that i went on with my dearest friend. Has great views and will definitely do again. Highly recommend. Take your time to take in the scenery. First part is streneous but remainder of trail is fairly easy.
Jason Tattershall

Started from South Fork Campground. I lost the trail a couple of times in the dry creek bed, stay right through both creeks and the trail is pretty easy to spot. Other than that the trail is obvious and easy to follow. There are a couple of spots where the hill is trying to reclaim the trail with runoff/rockslides, but its not bad. Overall, a nice, scenic and fairly easy hike with awesome views from the Devil's Chair.
Jorge Prieto

This is one of my closest trails so I do it several times a year during different seasons. The first part of the trail is the steepests going up a fireroad. Once you reach the turn off, it is a beatiful narrow trail with a lot of pine trees at the higher elevations. It drops down to a creek and then gradually climbs again. There are a few sections that have been washed out...they have done a descent job to keep it from completely washing out. I have hiked this trail many times with and without my dogs, I have never missed the turn off. Accessible from the parking lot at Devil's Punch Bowl or from Big Rock Creek Campground (I've done it both ways) . I usually hike it early in the mornings and avoid the weekend crowds. (Just realized this is the Big Rock Creek approach which I have done also...description above is for the Nature Center approach).

its a narrow trail and not good on busy days but on off days the trail is very nice its not to hard and has some super cool views along the way, the view from the devils chair is awesome , its crazy to think all the land use to be underwater way back . i enjoy this hike but avoid it on busy weekends , i recommend this trail highly

Cool views from the Devils chair. I like all the old rust railing gives it a weird feel when your on the chair. Hike is pretty easy and the payoff is well worth your time.
Todd Madison

some parts of the trail will really get your heart pumping and have you winded. most of the trail is shaded by the trees and the mountains. the sandstone rock formations are beautiful. there was fewer than 20 people on the trail and once I reached the Chair, I sat there alone and listened to the wind swirling through the canyon. very nice hike.

The format qcow2 support copy-on-write.detail about qcow2 is here. Does libvirt suport clone qcow2 VM Image with copy-on-write. I find none options about:
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
virt-clone will clone your disk image to the same file format as the original.
If your original disk is an LVM partition then you have to clone to a disk raw format image cause the lvm partition is a raw device
You can convert the cloned disk image to qcow2:
If your VM has a qcow2 file format disk image then virt-clone will clone your disk image to a qcow2 file format
to resume:
virt-clone will keep the same file format to the cloned disk as the original.
An good solution is to use virt-sparsify
to reduce the exported disk image size
At least as of the libvirt that ships with RHEL 7, NO, neither the virt-manager GUI nor the virsh command-line tool do the copy-on-write magic that you seek with qcow2. They will copy the backing file to a new, completely-independent backing file with identical size and contents.
What you can do instead is:
And then create a new VM in virt-manager, importing clone.qcow2 as its backing file. This works really well at preserving limited storage space, as well as at very quickly provisioning new VMs, once you have the master image the way you want it.
CAVEAT: the master image MUST be treated as read-only once you have clones that are using it for a copy-on-write backing store. If you spin up a VM and alter the master image, you will corrupt all of the the clones that refer to it. If you want to make a change, what you do instead is to clone the master image to a new, independent image (call it new-master.qcow2 for the sake of discussion), then re-point your clones at the new image:
qemu-img will copy the differences between master.qcow2 and new-master.qcow2 into clone.qcow2, after which you can safely delete master.qcow2 once all of the copy-on-write clones have been updated.

Essay - Entrepreneurial Advantage Starting One's Own Business or Working for Somebody...
Entrepreneurial Advantage
Starting one's own business or working for somebody else, notably a large organization with financial and personal benefits, is a dilemm***** many of us face throughout one's ***** life. This paper will aim to objectively analyze some of the advantages and disadvantages that a working individu*****l faces in each case. The concl*****ion may show that be*****g an entrepreneur holds an extra asset as compared to working for someone else *****d that starting a business is a person*****lly and financially rewarding venture.
***** first important advantage ***** entrepreneurship we should mention (and the order has nothing to do ***** the relevance of each argument) is the fact that being one's boss ***** also equivalent with designing your own life and schedule around the activity that you have set our to perform. This means that you may decide that this Wednesday ***** ***** take off and spend in a library for documentation or that a certa***** day of ***** ********** will be spend team building in a pub. You are the boss and you make the rules. These ***** your rules and the only responsibility you carry is towards ***** employees ***** towards yourself as a person ********** as a bus*****ess person.
Deriving from this, we m*****y draw out the relevancy ***** following one's dream and passion ***** putting a lot of hard work into achieving it. No matter what people may say, ***** with passion is ********** something ***** is more important than ***** ********** skills or aptitudes. Your own business will ***** like your own car or a person*****l object you care about: you will be careful not to break it and you will protect it against any advers*****ies that ***** appear. For a business, it is prob*****bly ***** even important in the beginning whether or not ***** venture is making a prof*****. You ***** be ***** likely to stick with it ***** attempt to pull ***** through tough times rather than when you are in a position you don't like at a comp*****. And this *****cause you feel ***** ***** a responsibility tow*****rds something you have cre*****ed, an ambition to see it pull *****.
***** third advantage is the financial aspect. ***** matter how hard you ***** in a **********ny and no ***** how much you produce, you will always be limited by ***** amount of money your respective ***** pays. If you are a junior consultant, you will never ***** paid the amount a senior consultant gets paid, no matter how much more work you do.
On the other h*****, ***** one's own ***** means ***** t*****ere is no financial limitation (of course, ***** ***** to be discussed.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get the ID of the post being edited from within the register_my_custom_fields function, and having tried a number of different methods I've hit a brick wall.
I've tried...
global $post; $post_id = $post->ID;
global $post; $post_id = ($post_id)?($post_id):($post->ID);
global $wp_query; $post_id = $wp_query->post->ID;
$post_id = the_ID();
But as I said before, its always blank.
The reason for wanting the ID at this stage is so I can check on the value of other meta fields and show additional fields in response.
Any ideas?

UN Rapporteur 'Shocked' by Media View of Hungarian Officials
Hungary's media law, amended after European Union criticism, is still a concern in part because of the ruling party's dominance of the media regulator, according to the United Nations' special rapporteur on press freedom.
The appointment of all five members of the Media Council by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling party, as well as the length of their mandate at renewable nine-year terms, are problematic, UN Special Rapporteur Frank La Rue told reporters in Budapest today. Political influence and the threat of fines may spawn self-censorship, he said.
Hungary's media law, which took effect on Jan. 1, has been criticized by governments and newspapers across Europe, clouding the country's six-month EU presidency. The law gives the panel the power to fine or close media outlets.
"I was a bit shocked, to say it politely, at some of the positions I heard," said La Rue, who was invited by the government to assess the law. "Different government officials were speaking with full honesty and speaking their mind, but it does seem to me that there is a framework of control. I think this is very dangerous."
The composition of the Media Council can lead to the "depolitization" of media regulation, Zoltan Kovacs, state secretary in charge of government communications, said at the same press conference. While Hungary agrees with the principles of press freedom, media regulation also needs to reflect "local perspectives," he said.
Hungary should diversify the membership of the regulator, for example, by including representatives of press associations and opposition parties in their ranks, La Rue said.
Hungary's Parliament, where Orban's lawmakers hold a two-thirds majority, bowed to EU demands last month to limit regulators' powers to censor "offensive" reporting, ease registration requirements and bar discrimination against non-Hungarian broadcasters.
The amended law still fails to meet press freedom commitments, Dunja Mijatovic, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's representative on freedom of the media, said in a March 8 statement.

Also, HOA dues are 264 a month.
Your tax number sounds super high. About the highest taxes around here are 3% a year.
Best thing to do is run your numbers with a lender. It can depend on your credit scores, down payment, loan amount, taxes and other items. As a general rule of thumb I'd gues about $1150-$1200 with minimal down payment. That should include your principal, interest, taxes, and insurance or PITI.
The way you check with a lender is to get PREQUALIFIED. You want to do this first before looking at homes. That way you'll know exactly or pretty close to what the payments will be and if you need to adjust the price range up or down you can before you spend time shopping.
It will depend on down payment and loan program.
What are your credit scores?
How much do you want to put down?
Have you looked into homeowner's insurance for this property.... it can vary.
Feel free to contact me here or directly for follow up.
If you don't have your answer yet, we'll be happy to run your credit and give you the answer based on your credit score and type of program that would fit your needs best.

We want to keep track of production data of a Rails app, so that we can analyse them in a few months.
To be more precise, we have a few data Models with a "status" and dates column that can change frequently. The idea is to write somewhere a new line in a DB or log file every time the status or any other attribute changes. These line consists in a copy of all the attributes for this object.
I see different solutions:
- using observer with after_save, and replicate the saved data to a reporting Mysql Db
- using a logger system.
- do it a different level, on the DB level, detecting changes in a table and copying the affected rows to the reporting DB.
It's easier to extract data then if they are stored in a DB. Log files are faster and don't slow down the process that much. I can't figure out what is the best way or if there is any other solution/implementation.

I just tried out your Pop! widget. Just what I have been looking for.
I did run into one problem. I created a widget in my sidebar for the most popular posts and that worked fine. Then I created a second copy for most popular pages but that is not being populated. I did visit some pages after setting it up in order to create some data. The Popular Posts is giving more and more entries as readers visit posts but the Popular Pages is remaining blank with just the title "Popular Pages" showing.
Might I also suggest a third option "Pages & Posts" in the widget.
Thank you,

Picture: NFL American Football stars visit the Abbey Road recording studios and reenact the famous Beatles album cover London, England - 01.11.08
Lecturers at a university in THE Beatles' hometown of Liverpool, England have set up a special course so superfans can study the works of the Fab Four.
Liverpool Hope University has created a Masters of Arts degree entitled The Beatles, Popular Music and Society which sees students read the history of the band over four 12-week modules.
Students will also learn the influence the iconic group has had on the music industry and will be expected to write a dissertation at the end of the course.
It is believed to be the first post-graduate course of its kind.
And bosses at the education institution insist it is a serious study - claiming they have had a huge response from prospective pupils.
Mike Broken, the senior lecturer in popular music at the university, says, "There have been over 8,000 books about The Beatles but there has never been serious academic study and that is what we are going to address.
"Forty years on from their break-up, now is the right time and Liverpool is the right place to study The Beatles."
In 1964, black and white music comedy 'A Hard Day's Night' was released, starring the...

Even for vertical images, the croppable area remains in the same almost-square shape and size for every image no matter what its proportions are.

Natural Gas Drops Most in 2 Weeks as Supply Gain Tops Forecasts
Natural gas futures fell the most in two weeks in New York after a U.S. stockpile increase exceeded forecasts.
Gas dropped 3.4 percent, the biggest one-day decline since May 2, after the Energy Information Administration said inventories rose 99 billion cubic feet in the week ended May 10 to 1.964 trillion. Analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg showed a gain of 95 billion. Gas prices climbed 4.1 percent the previous three days on speculation that an unusually warm end to May would spur demand from power plants to run air conditioners.
"We did see a larger-than-expected build in storage for the second consecutive week," said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York. "The rally that preceded this drop was not well-supported fundamentally. We are seeing year-on-year supply growth, so production growth against the demand decline, that's bearish."
Natural gas for June delivery dropped 13.8 cents to settle at $3.932 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures trading volume was 6.4 percent above the 100-day average at 4:25 p.m. Prices are up 17 percent this year.
June $4.80 calls were the most-active option in electronic trading. They fell 0.1 cent to 0.1 cent per million Btu on volume of 5,028 at 4:24 p.m. June $3.75 puts were the next-most active, gaining 1.1 cents to 2.2 cents on volume of 1,853. Calls accounted for 58 percent of trading.
Options Volatility
Implied volatility for at-the-money options expiring in June was 29.51 percent at 4:15 p.m., down from 32.58 percent yesterday. Volatility for July options was 30.26 percent, compared with 30.2 percent yesterday.
The magnitude of the price move down shows "a lot of longs in the market were caught by surprise," said Cindy Wexler, an independent gas trader on the Nymex floor. There is technical support for gas prices at $3.91 and if they don't hold that level, the futures may drop to the next support area at $3.883, she said.
Natural gas has slumped 12 percent since touching a 21-month high of $4.444 per million Btu on May 1 after the peak heating-demand season, extended by the coldest April since 1997, drew to a close.
Prices had surged into early spring as a supply deficit to the five-year average hovered near a record low. Hedge funds and other large speculators increased bullish bets on natural gas prices last month to an all-time high in records dating back to January 2010, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's May 10 Commitments of Traders report.
Above Average
The stockpile increase last week was larger than the five-year average gain for the week of 83 billion cubic feet, department data show. A deficit to the five-year average narrowed to 4.1 percent from 5 percent the previous week. Supplies were 26.1 percent below year-earlier inventories, compared with 28.3 percent in last week's report.
Commodity Weather Group LLC predicted that above-normal temperatures in central and eastern states over the next five days will give way to a cool front from May 21 through May 25. The heat may return to the central U.S. at the end of the month, the Bethesda, Maryland-based forecaster said.
"The real change this week is those weather maps turned decidedly warmer for the balance of May and most importantly we are seeing that heat begin to move into Texas," Teri Viswanath, director of commodities strategy at BNP Paribas SA in New York. Texas and the Southeast states account for nearly half of U.S. summer electric power demand, she said.
The outlook for cooling demand as hot weather moves may keep prices from cratering, she said.
Contract Spreads
The discount of June to October contracts, a measure of summer supply expectations, widened 1.1 cents to 8.5 cents. The discount of October to January contracts widened 1.7 cents to 32.5 cents.
Gas consumption typically slumps after the peak heating season and before hot weather drives demand for electricity to run air conditioners. About 50 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating, according to the EIA, the statistical arm of the Energy Department. Power generation accounts for 33 percent of gas consumption.
The EIA estimates that U.S. marketed production in 2013 will set a record for the sixth straight year as new wells are brought online at shale deposits such as the Marcellus in the Northeast and the Bakken in North Dakota. Output will climb 1 percent to 69.9 billion cubic feet a day, according to the May 7 Short-Term Energy Outlook. Consumption will increase to 70.17 billion cubic feet a day from 69.68 billion.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is trying to ban smoking… Everywhere. Well, at least everywhere someone might be working, so I guess that's not as many places as you might think. (Hat tip to Obamanomics.) The CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has suggested banning all tobacco consumption at every work place in the nation… Because, ya know, the nanny-state can never be too big, right?
The ban would apply to not only office buildings, restaurants, and retail stores, but it would also apply to any outdoor location (such as construction sites, landscaping work, and even places like commercial farms). Oh… And it's not limited to only cigarettes. Even smokeless alternatives would be banned under the Nannycrats vision for a tobacco-free labor force. As a side note: unconfirmed reports of Michael Bloomberg weeping with joy have been trickling in since the CDC decided to out-nanny the former NYC Mayor.
But, really, why stop at merely banning a legal (albeit unhealthy) activity (on private property owned by private businesses)? The CDC, apparently, felt that Bloomberg style regulation wasn't quite enough overreach for their self-righteous vision of compulsory national health initiatives… Which is why their plan also incorporates a lovely dimension of state-sponsored shaming. According to the Free Beacon:
[The plan would] ban smoking in outdoor work areas and have bosses ask which of their employees smoke so they can "promptly provide encouragement to quit."
I can only assume that the original language of the proposed regulation – asking bosses to arrange a public flogging for current tobacco-consuming employees – was struck down as "too severe." Maybe we should just start publicly beating anyone that dares to take a puff from a Lucky Strike... At least that would be more straightforward than crafting a lengthy regulation that usurps property rights and individual sovereignty.

One of the main challenges in system design whether for high performance computing or in embedded systems is to partition software for target architectures like multi-core, heterogeneous, or even hardware/software co-design systems. Several compiler techniques handle partitioning and related problems by using static analysis and therefor have no means to capture the global data flow in quantity and its dynamics which is essential for extracting tasks or exploiting coarse grained parallelism. We present a novel solution for capturing and analyzing an applicationpsilas quantitative data flow in this paper. The core part is the LLILA (Low Level Intermediate Language Analyzer) tool set, which automatically generates and augments self-profiling instruction set simulators from assembly level descriptions for a virtual machine. During run-time of the augmented program several properties (frequency, quantity and locality reflecting inter-procedural communication) of data exchange are captured at instruction level and as a consequence in the highest possible degree of accuracy.

This Latin import is at least kind enough to provide subtitles so that American viewers can follow along. It's just too bad that Club Desire isn't more desirable. Granted, most of the screwing is passable, though, some of it is mechanical and there's a definite lack of chemistry between the players, which isn't helped by a very annoying soundtrack.
The premise of the vid concerns four male friends who get together at the gym for a day of fun. First, they all reminisce about past women they bagged in a series of very short and very pointless sexual scenarios. Then, they go off on various knob-polishing adventures.
The fourway on a racquetball court with two guys and two gals is particularly interesting, but it's the gangbang finale with a redhead and all four pals, featuring some d.p., that's the most solid scene.
Retailing: Stock this if foreign product, especially the Latin variety, does well.

Christmas Performances
The Old Whalers Church will hold two Christmas celebrations this weekend. A radio play version of "A Christmas Carol" will be performed in the chapel of the church tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. The free, hourlong show will include members of the East End theater community, church members, friends, and sound effects.
Saturday's foul weather didn't deter filmmakers and filmgoers from a festive brunch at c/o the Maidstone, which serves as the headquarters for the Hamptons International Film Festival. Mimosas, bloody marys, and passed hors d'oeuvres helped warm up a happy crowd.
