I used to be able to run 'timedate.cpl' to bring up the calendar in Windows XP. Is there an equivalent command in Windows 7?
It is not available in Windows 7 anymore.
You can try copying wincal from Windows Vista or from here then create a user variable with the name, for example wincal and point it to the executable file on your hard drive.
timedate.cpl works for me in Windows 8 and I am sure it worked in Windows 7 as well.

Fed Official: 'We Do Not Have To Wait For New Authority' To Take Over Failing Financial Institutions
According to the Obama administration, one of the problems in addressing the economic crisis is that no mechanism exists for taking over large, complex financial institutions. The administration has actually crafted a plan that would grant the Treasury Secretary such power, which it may present to Congress.
Today, Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig said that new legislation is all well and good, but in the case of at least some big firms, that power already exists:
There has been much talk lately about a new resolution process for systemically important firms that Congress could enact, and I would encourage this be implemented as quickly as possible, but we do not have to wait for new authority. We can act immediately, using essentially the same steps we used for Continental.
It's unclear to which firms Hoenig thinks this authority is applicable. Since AIG is still, technically, an insurance company, it would seem to fall outside the sphere of any existing power that Treasury has. But maybe the administration really doesn't need some new mechanism to take over a Citigroup or a Bank of America.
This brings us back to the IndyMac example. IndyMac was successfully re-privatized last month, after it had been taken over and cleaned up by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC). For his part, Hoenig alluded to a similar situation at Continental Illinois, which was taken over by the FDIC in 1984. This week, Elizabeth Warren's Congressional Oversight Panel also presented Continental as an example for the administration to study:
Another option is government reorganization of troubled financial institutions using conservatorships, as in the case of Continental Illinois in the U.S. and the financial crisis in Sweden in the 1990s. This approach entails an in-place reorganization in which bad assets are removed, failed managers are replaced, and parts of the business are spun off.
In the end, it's probably best that Congress formally structure some new authority for unwinding large, financial institutions, instead of Treasury relying on the exact same system used for IndyMac and Continental. After all, those were just banks, not globally entwined financial behemoths, and they were only cleaned up, not broken into smaller entities. But the underlying premise remains — the federal government, in one way or another, needs to find a way to unwind the firms that are "too large to fail" and too weak to succeed.

Alem Bar, Bodrum: "Traditional Turkish Fun..." Top 5 Page for this destination Bodrum Nightlife Tip by Lyndra
Bodrum Nightlife: 66 reviews and 72 photos
Alem Bar is a delightful find not far from Cumuriyet Caddesi. It has wonderful Turkish music many nights of the week. The singer who featured on the two nights that we went there was a very charismatic character who had a great rapport with the majority Turkish audience.
Good service. Nice atmosphere. Does feel a wee bit strange when you first enter the building as you stand out as not being Turkish but once the initial moment of nerves is over, a great night is to be had. Turkish culture at it's most enthusiastic and a must try for any visitor to Bodrum who wants more than a fishbowl and teenage drinking!
Dress Code: Smart is best here, there is a mix of ages of Turkish ladies and gents and all are dressed well.

A looming oxygen crisis and its impact on our oceans
We've known for a while that we are poisoning the oceans and that human emissions of carbon dioxide, left unchecked, would likely have devastating consequences. A 2010 study found that oceans are acidifying 10 times faster today than 55 million years ago when a mass extinction of marine species occurred.
And we've known those impacts might last a long, long time ""a 2009 study concluded ocean dead zones "devoid of fish and seafood" are poised to expand and "remain for thousands of years." Worse, a Nature study just found that global warming is already the likely cause of a 40% decline in the ocean's phytoplankton: "Microscopic life crucial to the marine food chain is dying out. The consequences could be catastrophic."
Carl Zimmer, a noted science writer and winner of the 2007 NAS Communication Award, reveals some more chilling facts about the path our oceans may be on in this repost from Yale's Environment 360 online magazine.
As warming intensifies, scientists warn, the oxygen content of oceans across the planet could be more and more diminished, with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is overshadowing another catastrophe that's also unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico this summer: The oxygen dissolved in the Gulf waters is disappearing. In some places, the oxygen is getting so scarce that fish and other animals cannot survive. They can either leave the oxygen-free waters or die. The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium reported this week that this year's so-called "dead zone" covers 7,722 square miles.
Unlike the Deepwater Horizon disaster, this summer's dead zone is not a new phenomenon in the Gulf. It first appeared in the 1970s, and each summer it has returned, growing bigger as the years have passed. Its expansion reflects the rising level of fertilizers that farmers in the U.S. Midwest have spread across their fields. Rain carries much of that fertilizer into the Mississippi River, which then delivers it to the sea. Once the fertilizer reaches the Gulf, it spurs algae to grow, providing a feast for bacteria, which grow so fast they use up all the oxygen in their neighborhood. The same phenomenon is repeating itself along many coastlines around the world. This summer, a 377,000-square-kilometer (145,000-square-mile) dead zone appeared in the Baltic Sea. In 2008, scientists reported that new dead zones have been popping up at an alarming rate for the past 50 years. There are now more than 400 coastal dead zones around the world.
As serious as these dead zones are, however, they may be just a foreshadowing of a much more severe crisis to come. Agricultural runoff can only strip oxygen from the ocean around the mouths of fertilizer-rich rivers. But global warming has the potential to reduce the ocean's oxygen content across the entire planet. Combined with acidification "" another global impact of our carbon emissions "" the loss of oxygen could have a major impact on marine life.
Scientists point to two reasons to expect a worldwide drop in ocean oxygen. One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer, it can hold less dissolved oxygen. The other reason is subtler. The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface "" either from the atmosphere, or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface waters slowly sink.
Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter. That's because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting of glaciers, icebergs, and ice sheets. Since freshwater is less dense than salt water, the water at the ocean's surface will become lighter. The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface waters expand "" and thus make them lighter still. The light surface water will be less likely to sink "" and thus the deep ocean will get less oxygen. Instead, more of the oxygen will linger near the surface, where it will be used up by oxygen-breathing organisms.
The prospect that global warming could reduce the ocean's oxygen has led some scientists to wonder if the predicted decline has already begun. It's a maddeningly hard thing to determine, however. We can be very confident that humans have driven up the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because scientists have recorded a steady increase over the course of decades. The signal of human-produced carbon dioxide is stronger than the noise of nature's ups and downs.
Fluctuations in oxygen levels, on the other hand, are a lot noisier. As ocean currents oscillate naturally, upwellings of deep-ocean water can deliver nutrients to coastal waters, triggering an explosion of growth and driving down oxygen levels. Volcanoes can alter oxygen levels, too, by creating a haze that blocks sunlight, thus temporarily cooling the ocean's surface and allowing more oxygen to dissolve into the water.
In recent years some worrying signals have started to emerge from the noise. In 2006, for example, oxygen levels off the coast of Oregon dropped to record lows. Reefs that had been packed with rockfish and other animals suddenly became ecological ghost towns. Instead of agricultural run-off, studies on the Oregon dead zone suggest that global warming was partly responsible. Higher temperatures have reduced the oxygen in the ocean currents that deliver water to the Oregon coast.
It's much harder for scientists to figure out what's happening in the open ocean than along the coastlines, because the records are far spottier. But some recent studies have also offered cause for worry. In April, for example, Lothar Stramma of the University of Kiel and his colleagues published a study in Deep Sea Research in which they compared records of oxygen levels in the tropical ocean from two periods: from 1960 to 1974 and from 1990 to 2008. In some regions, the oxygen levels have gone up, the scientists found, but in most places they've gone down. In fact, the area of the global ocean without enough oxygen for animals to survive (less than 70 micromoles per kilogram to be exact) expanded by 4.5 million square kilometers (1.7 million square miles). That's an area about half the size of the United States.
Because the records of oxygen levels in the past are so incomplete, many scientists are calling for a push for more research. An international collaboration started in 1995, the Climate Variability and Predictability Repeat Hydrography Program "" CLIVAR for short "" is beginning to gather better data. But in the latest issue of Annual Review of Marine Science , Ralph Keeling of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and his colleagues warn that the CLIVAR program may need 20 to 30 years to establish long-term trends of oxygen levels. To speed up the process, they call for a global network of floating sensors known as Argo to be brought into the effort. If scientists put oxygen sensors on a few hundred of the 3,000 Argo floats, Keeling and his colleagues predict that a clear pattern would emerge in as little as five years. Keeling and his colleagues believe that it's urgent to speed up this research, because the deoxygenation of the oceans could have a major impact on marine life.
In order to project how global warming will alter oxygen in the oceans, climate scientists are developing a new generation of computer models. The models are still too crude to capture some important features of the real world, such as the way winds can change how deep water rises in upwellings. But the models are good enough to replicate some of the changes in oxygen levels that have already been recorded. And they all predict that the oxygen in the world's oceans will drop; depending on the model, the next century will see a drop of between 1 and 7 percent.
That could be enough to have a profound effect on life in the ocean, according to Daniel Pauly, a fisheries biologist at the University of British Columbia. In his new book, Gasping Fish and Panting Squids: Oxygen, Temperature and the Growth of Water-Breathing Animals, Pauly argues that getting oxygen is the most important constraint on the growth of fishes and many other marine animals. That's because it takes a lot of energy to extract oxygen from water, and the bigger animals get, the more energy they have to invest.
Pauly and his colleagues are working on computer models to project how global warming will affect the world's fisheries. Many species of fishes will shift their ranges away from water that's too warm for them. But this flight from heat may force them into regions of the ocean with low levels of oxygen, where their growth will be limited. Pauly and his colleagues predict that the drop in the ocean's oxygen and pH levels will together reduce the world's fish catch by 20 to 30 percent by 2050.
While fishes and other animals with high oxygen demands suffer, jellyfish may thrive. Jellyfish can tolerate lower oxygen levels than fish, in part because they can store reserves of the gas in their jelly. Free from competition and predators, jellyfish will be able to feast on the microscopic animals and protozoans that feed on algae. They may thus leave more food for bacteria, spurring a further drop in oxygen levels.
A drop in oxygen may also cause the ocean's bacteria to change. Bacteria that need oxygen will no longer be able to thrive in oxygen-free zones of the ocean. But these dead zones will foster the growth of many species of bacteria for whom oxygen is toxic. Some of these oxygen-hating microbes produce nitrogen compounds that are among the most potent greenhouse gases ever measured. In other words, a drop in oxygen levels could further intensify global warming.
Unless we find a way to rein in our carbon emissions very soon, a low-oxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet. A team of Danish researchers published a particularly sobering study last year. They wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100. They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall, until they declined by 30 percent. The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans, but even 100,000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. If they're right, fish will be gasping and squid will be panting for a long time to come.

Jellyfish blooms are appearing all over the world. Nomura's Jellyfish up to two metres long are invading the beaches off eastern China and Japan.
This is not good. There is stuff people in power can do to initiate timely action.
We are taking so much seafood out of the oceans that never even makes it to shore (by-catch) that any more reduction in marine life added to what humans are now consuming will finish off most species that are already in trouble. Which will leave the oceans to only those that we don't or can't eat. Jellies seem on the rise, I have been hearing about the increase in them over the last four maybe five years. They were one of the first creatures to evolve in the sea and we don't eat them which is one reason I'm sure that they are not in decline. We are walking a very fine line now, and could end up not being able to survive on the planet that we evolved on.
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/08/melting-arctic-sea-ice-wont-expand-ocean-carbon-storage-potential.php As there have also been reports of methane escaping to the atmosphere in the Arctic, and not turning into CO2 while it rises, it is likely the effects of climate change will speed up from this year forward. I'm (now) expecting climate refugees to become an issue during this decade and not in 2030s as previously.

"Jellyfish blooms are appearing all over the world. Nomura's Jellyfish up to two metres long are invading the beaches off eastern China and Japan."
A literary note. Gunter Grass wrote a doomsday novel about the end of the world, or at least humanity, called The Rat in 1980's – Oscar from The Tin Drum is all grown up and produces videos. Jellyfish blooms play a prominent role although it was the neutron bombs that finished us off.

On the plus side, we can create more tidal power turbines without fear of killing sea life, since there won't be anything big enough to be effected by them.
30% decrease in oxygen won't be enough to allow sulfur bacteria to take over the whole ocean, but see:
H2S is coming out of the ocean off the coast of Namibia.
See:"Under a Green Sky" by Peter D. Ward, Ph.D., 2007.
Does anybody know if we will see more places like the coast of Namibia? How many and how much H2S?
Something to monitor closely is the declining percentage of oxygen in the air we breath. With continuing deforestation and CO2 creation, the percent continues to drop. Do climate models indicate what the level will be 40 years from now? A few snips from an article:
"According to a study conducted by scientists from the Scripps Institute there is less oxygen in the atmosphere today than there used to be. The ongoing study, which accumulated and interpreted data from NOAA monitoring stations all over the world…the conclusion of that 20 year study is that, as carbon dioxide (produced primarily by burning fossil fuels) accumulates in the atmosphere, available oxygen is decreasing."
"Carbon dioxide seems to be almost the total focus of attention in the climate change model as it exists today. After reviewing the results of this study and talking with Dr. Ralph Keeling (one of the lead scientists on the study), it seemed to me that the consequences of atmospheric oxygen depletion should be included in any discussion of atmospheric change."
"In conclusion, it seems that the depletion of atmospheric oxygen will continue until such time as we stop burning hydrocarbons faster than the environment can absorb the byproducts of the reaction and replenish the oxygen." http://blogcritics.org/scitech/article/atmospheric-oxygen-levels-fall-as-carbon/
Another article concludes the oxygen decline was considerable over the past 100 years.
For an excellent book detailing past events in the archeological record related to low or no oxygen parts (or all) of the oceans (anoxic areas) there is Peter Ward's excellent book:
Under a Green Sky
The suggested studies listed in the article should be done ASAP as well as one detailing the constant state of the ocean conveyer.
The short version from the book…regarding these bacteria..
The nasty bacteria that don't need oxygen and don't make oxygen (and thrive in these anoxic environments) – make a sulphur based gas that is poisonous (not just a little bit) to oxygen based life (besides being a potent greenhouse gas as mentioned in the article) – this has the effect of clearing their local environment of oxygen based life for their continued growth, i.e. we really don't want that ball to start rolling in our oceans (much more of a long term effect, but once it starts going it would be hard to imagine how to stop it).
The geologic record lists multiple instances of (sections and entire) oceans switching over to an anoxic state populated by these bacteria. It appears that the main indication of it happening (in the geologic record) was the ocean conveyer switching to bringing low/no oxygen level water to the depths (instead of the cold high oxygen water that its currently doing, more slowly at this point, now). The book mentions that it appears that the conveyer might stop, but then (if it stops) starts back up but is diving much earlier in its path bringing warm low oxygen water down to the depths, providing the environment these little buggers need (they start at the depths and gradually work their way up and apparently really get going once they get to sunlight – there are types of non oxygen producing algae that they work with when they get sun).
There are several current aquatic environments that are in this anoxic state in the world today and scientists have (and are continuing to) study. One of those crazy things that's just out there that most of us are not aware of. Please check out the book for more details as its an excellent read.
From what I understand Jellyfish can survive in water with a substantially lower oxygen content than regular fish. So Jellyfish swarms, I would assume, are the 'canary' in the coal mine for identifying oxygen depleted waters.
That Nature paper identifying a loss of 40% of our phytoplankton since 1950 and an ongoing decrease of 1% a year, to me, is astonishing. From what I understand the yearly decrease is most probably a function of ocean surface heating … causing more stable lamina to form which decrease mixing with cooler, food-rich, lower layers of the ocean.
Considering the amount of CO2 we have in the atmosphere and considering the amount of extra heat this represents (eventually) in the surface waters of the oceans, we can only conclude that the 1% decline can only increase in magnitude going forward.
So these are brutal numbers we have to deal with: we are down 40%, decreasing by 1% (and soon more) a year, and we are facing an unknown tipping point for oceanic life.
It makes me want to research, design, build and test a (proof of concept) prototype of an ocean anchored, wave powered, seawater upwelling device just to have it ready to go for future use.
A technical mitigation? It may come to that.
Gord, Please do design such devices. I suggest that you think small, and cheap. Millions of these devices may be needed. But that's no sweat for our modern manufacturing techniques.
If someone can design it, someone else will want to fund and manufacture these devices. But it's just an idea for now. I doubt if pumps can move water from the bottom all the way up to the top or air from the surface down to the bottom. Too much pressure differential. Sooo…..
Why not build many small pumps that can pump water downward a couple of hundred feet. Suspend them on cables from floats that house the power supply, either solar, wave, wind, or some other non-polluting electric power supply. Scores of these small pumps could be attached at intervals along the length a cable and move the water downward in many stages. The cable would be anchored to the bottom to keep the assembly in place and not a become hazard to navigation. I'm thinking that garden hose size but a million times over is the cheap and efficient way to go.
All of this assumes that the water near the surface HAS oxygen in it.
Good luck!
The easiest energy to use for mixing the ocean is hydropower. That is, instead of making hundreds of millions of Gord's "upwellers", we need to put 2/3 of the Amazon in a pipe just before it hits the sea, then run all that freshwater deep under the ocean where it will mix with high-nutrient water before upwelling on its own (due to its lower salt content). I honestly think that if I live out my current life expectancy (about another 50 years), I'll probably see this happen; it is a giant, ugly interference with nature, but unless humanity is embracing such lesser evils, I probably won't survive that long.
note: 2/3 of the amazon is as much flow as the next 3 biggest rivers combined.
You know I am more than a little pessimistic. But this far worse, far sooner, than my worst nightmares.
"Here we report new observations, however, that indicate dramatic changes in the oceanographic characteristics of the anoxic interface of the Black Sea over decadal or shorter timescales. The anoxic, sulphide-containing interface has moved up in the water column since the last US cruises in 1969 and 1975. In addition, a suboxic zone overlays the sulphide-containing deep water."
The above refers to the Black Sea, how long before we see a similar one for one of our oceans?
Moving water from the deep ocean? #2 & 3. Floating wind mills with a low pressure compressor pumping air into the upper part of a long "straw." The rising air will start a syphon bringing up deep water with it. We just need to get the flow moving and only need to add a little energy as we are only trying to overcome the difference in density, not trying to lift the water above the surface level. Not many moving parts. Machine parts all stay above the surface.
Water invented man so it could go up hill.
Rabid D –
sorry to say that googling : nasa modis image gallery
will bring up an archive that includes recent satellite images of hydrogen sulphide "eruptions" off the coast of Namibia in the south Atlantic.
I'd no idea the issue was that far advanced.
For me it affirms the fact that we need to get much more ruthless intellectually in identifying the necessary path to resolving the warming problem.
Chin up!

Picture a large cylinder in a tube that's hundreds of feet long. The cylinder could be made of anything that's sturdy and won't corrode. Overall, it has to be denser than water. Hang it from a cable and it can be lowered to push the column of surface water into the depths. If it has louvers on top and bottom, open these before winching it back up. Repeat as necessary. Size and scale as necessary.
Here is another paper on the subject that is available to all:
An interesting resource on marine issues.
Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership
@#15: The paper is from 1989 and is about the likely reduced flow of fresh water into the Black Sea. I don't see how it is related to climate change.
Thanks to the excellent comments and links.
Peter Ward gave the Faculty Lecture at UW this year, and I was lucky enough to briefly chat with him afterwards. He's a fascinating guy, with wide interests, and does a lot of fieldwork, too. All of his books are good, and my own favorite is Rare Earth.
Several posts have mentioned Dr. Peter Ward. I also read Under a Green Sky a year or so ago and came away impressed and convinced that widespread species extinction is possible (likely?) in the next millenium. This weekend I read Ward's newest book, The Flooded Earth: Our Future in a World Without Ice Caps. I highly recommend it. Ward repeatedly points out that many models that try to predict the next 100 years or so often fail to account for sea level rise, not only in its impact on the human and built environment but also its impact in increasing the rate of global warming and sea level rise. That is, sea level rise will create more sea level rise as heat absorbing water replaces energy reflecting land and leads to more melting of the Greenland and Anartic ice sheets. Much more to it than what I've mentioned here, but I strongly recommend Ward's new work. One warning: Don't expect to come away from the book feeling very optimistic about your grandchildren's future. (We added another granddaughter this weekend. Good luck little Juliette Lauren.)
#23 Anarctic ice sheets
Thanks for your encouragement.
Here's my top level design.
Each upweller consists of five parts: a tethering device, a covered flexible cylindrical container looking somewhat like an overturned water glass which separates the water column from its surroundings, pumps located at the top to empty the water column, an electronics package and the power supply. The covered top will contain buoyancy devices which will stretch the container to prevent collapse as the water is pumped out at the top. Everything can be located below the surface to save it from wave action.
If the power supply is required to be on the surface then it must have the capability to be submerged by remote command to avoid damage in storms.
There it is.
The unit mass production cost goal should be somewhere in the neighbourhood of $100k. We should set a goal of having a final pre-production prototype ready to go by 2020 with massive deployment by 2025.
It would be nice to have a foundation offer prizes for the best designs. The Internet could be leveraged to crowd-source them.
World wide brain power at work!!
So let me get this straight. Soon we will have lost half of all ocean phytoplankton, even as as most marine life crashes. Even as we have destroyed tropical forests over the past few decades at the rate of one acre per second, we will soon witness the collapse of world forests.
What will we breath? Those phytoplankton and trees make atmospheric OXYGEN.
The human economic organism has become . . . (insane, suicidal, genocidal, murderous, a sickly myth)? And we worry about health care!
Leif, I think your 'straw' idea will honestly work. It works in countless designs of aquarium filters. I had the thought of piping major rivers to the bottom of the deep sea and didn't like the engineering myself.
Do we really want to bring up cold water from the bottom of the oceans?
Actually, that sounds like a really good idea. It might lower sea surface temperatures as well as upwelling nutrients.
Millions of 4 inch straws, anchored in place, fixing the ocean that we've broken and helping cool the planet. Excellent!
Ocean pipes could help the Earth to cure itself
We propose a way to stimulate the Earth's capacity to cure itself, as an emergency treatment for the pathology of global warming.Measurements of the climate system show that the Earth is fast becoming a hotter planet than anything yet experienced by humans. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v449/n7161/full/449403a.html
catman306, @ 24. Actually I was thinking of much bigger "straws." They would not need to be very heavily built Something like wire coil Dryer hose many feet in diameter. Perhaps 50 feet below the top place ring of perforated pipe around the inside perimeter to bubble low pressure air in. 50 psi would get you ~100 feet down. There would be no need for heavy construction as there is no suction to speak of. I do not believe that the bottoms would even need to be that deep as a field perhaps a thousand feet deep would draw water from much deeper if properly placed to take advantage of natural up welling. One decent sized wind mill in the center of a ring of tubes would move a lot of water. Proper engineering should even get the center un-straw water to up well as well. This is the oceans we are talking about. Big area! The key would be to work with nature as much as possible.
In reality however keeping it all together in an ocean environment??? …
CEPD (Chronic Earth Pulmonary Disease)
Forests provide us with essential oxygen, and are referred to as "the lungs of the earth". In the year 1800, there were about 23,000,000,000 hectares of forest for earth's 980,000,000 population. For 2011, earth's population of 7,000,000,000 will share about 5,000,000,000 hectares of forest. This represents a decline of 97%, from 23.4 hectares of forest per person in 1800, to 0.7 hectares per person in 2011. An average tree absorbs ten pounds of pollutants from the air each year, including four pounds of ozone and three pounds of particulates. Robert Sloan, Professor Department of Geology and Geophysics University of Minnesota, found the percentage of oxygen in air samples from dinosaur-era amber at 28% – 35%. Currently, dry air contains about 20.94% oxygen. An Australian government research organization calculated recent declines in atmospheric oxygen at about 0.15% per century.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
From sex-crazed gods to ravenous monsters, Ben Thompson brings legendary titans to life in tales of adventure, bloodlust, and unrelenting badassitude.
Since the beginning of human history people have created myths, tall tales, superheroes, and arch-villains--men and women who embarked on insane adventures, performed extraordinary feats of unparalleled awesomeness, and overcame all odds to violently smite their foes into bloody pulp. In Badass: The Birth of a Legend, Ben Thompson compiles these fantastical tales from the beginning of time to today and tells them in the completely over-the-top manner in which they were intended, including:
RamaThe Indian god-king who led an army of monkeys against the King of All Demons
ThorThe Viking god of thunder and awesome hair, who crushed the skulls of giants with a ridiculously huge hammer
BeowulfAn Anglo-Saxon hero so hardcore he could arm-wrestle monsters' joints out of their sockets
Moby-DickThe hate-filled literary behemoth who obliterated ship hulls with his face
SkuldThe Norse necromancer queen who summoned a horde of zombie berserkers
Dirty Harry Callahan The prototypical modern-day antihero and very embodiment of badass.
About the Author
Ben Thompson has run the warhammer of a website badassoftheweek.com since 2004, and has written humorous history-related columns for outlets such as Cracked, Fangoria, Penthouse, and the American Mustache Institute. Even though he's never flown a jetpack over the Atlantic Ocean or punched someone so hard that his head exploded, he is considered by many to be the world's foremost expert on badassitude. He is the author of Badass and Badass: The Birth of a Legend.

Failure of Sanofi, Merck Animal-Health Merger May Trigger Deals
Sanofi-Aventis SA and Merck & Co.'s decision to drop a planned joint venture in veterinary products may spur deals in the industry, including sales of the animal-health units owned by Novartis AG and Bayer AG, analysts said.
Sanofi and Merck may seek acquisitions such as the Novartis and Bayer units, said Alistair Campbell, an analyst at Berenberg Bank in London. In the U.S., Pfizer Inc., the world's largest drugmaker, is reviewing the future of its veterinary unit.
Novartis and Bayer were among potential bidders for the assets that Sanofi and Merck planned to sell to satisfy antitrust requirements for the joint venture, two people with knowledge of the matter said in October. Now that those sales won't happen, Novartis and Bayer may decide to sell their veterinary units because they're not big enough, analysts said.
"Novartis, which does not have critical mass, will have to decide what to do with its division -- either strengthen it or divest it -- and Pfizer seems ready to sell its own in order to focus on human health," Jean-Jacques Le Fur, an analyst at Oddo & Cie. in Paris, wrote yesterday in a report. "In any case, we think a number of transactions will be announced in the next few months." He has a "neutral" rating on Sanofi shares.
Merck and Sanofi abandoned plans to combine their animal-health businesses "because of the increasing complexity of implementing the proposed transaction," the companies said yesterday in a joint statement. They cited "the nature and extent of the anticipated divestitures and the length of time necessary for the worldwide regulatory review process."
Asset Sale
The companies had hired Morgan Stanley to help sell assets valued at $1 billion to get antitrust approval for the deal, the people with knowledge of the matter said in October.
The merger of Merck's Intervet unit and Sanofi's Merial operation would have created a company with $5.5 billion of annual sales, making it the largest animal-health company. Both companies said they're committed to operating the businesses separately.
Sanofi might seek another partner, said Philippe Lanone, an analyst at Natixis in Paris who noted that Bayer and Novartis "operate on a regional scale." Jean-Marc Podvin, a spokesman for Sanofi, didn't respond to a request for comment.
Sanofi Chief Executive Officer Chris Viehbacher sought to expand in veterinary products in part because the business wasn't as vulnerable as prescription drugs to competition from generic products. Growing demand for food also helped lift sales of products for farm animals, and rising incomes were leading to increased pet ownership, he said on a Feb. 9 conference call.
'Pleased' With Animal Unit
"We are pleased with the animal-health business and what it brings to the table," Steven Campanini, a spokesman for Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based Merck, said yesterday in a telephone interview. "What happens now is both companies go back to where they were."
The animal-health market is likely to experience mid-single digit growth rates for the next five years, he said. "The combination of the expected growth rate of animal health in the next five years combined with the somewhat smoother transition with the loss of exclusivity makes animal health a very desirable segment," said Campanini. Merck probably will keep the animal-health business, said Jon LeCroy, an analyst with Hapoalim Securities in New York, in a telephone interview.
Sanofi fell 34 cents to 47.65 euros yesterday in Paris trading. Merck gained 14 cents to $32.53 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Pfizer Strategic Review
Pfizer is conducting a strategic review of each of its units, said Joan Campion, a spokeswoman for the New York-based company. No decision has been made about the future of the animal-health business, she said. Pfizer had $3.58 billion of veterinary sales last year.
Combining Pfizer's and Merck's animal-health units might raise regulatory issues, said LeCroy. "It would bring up the overlap thing," he said.
Novartis and Bayer may look for other veterinary assets to buy, Tero Weckroth, an analyst at Kepler Capital Markets, wrote in a report.
While Novartis doesn't need to sell the animal-health unit or expand it, the company would consider acquisitions, said Chief Executive Officer Joe Jimenez on a Nov. 17 conference call. "Obviously we would like to gain scale in animal health and if that opportunity arose" the company would consider acquisitions of $1 billion to $2 billion, he said.
Eric Althoff, a spokesman for Basel, Switzerland-based Novartis, didn't respond to a call seeking comment. Novartis doesn't break out the sales of its animal-health unit.
Bayer Animal Health
Bayer Chief Executive Officer Marijn Dekkers said Sept. 27 that the company needed to decide the future of its animal-health unit in 12 to 18 months. The unit is now "relatively small" compared with competitors, he said at a dinner with journalists in Cologne. Bayer had veterinary sales of 1.2 billion euros ($1.7 billion) last year.
Bayer can "clearly afford" deals bigger than 1 billion euros, Dekkers said. The company bid unsuccessfully for the Intervet unit in 2009, according to people familiar with the situation.
Christian Hartel, a spokesman for Bayer, said yesterday the company doesn't comment on market speculation.

Cannot download Solution Center for Off Jet 6500 Wireless since going to Windows 8.1
I get a failure message and am unable to download HP full feature software (a.k.a. the "solution center") for my HP Officejet 6500 Wireless on my Aspire E1-571-688 Laptop. The solution center was successfully downloaded when I got the laptop in August 2013. It was running fine until I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1.
When I discovered that the solution center would not run, I removed the printer and driver software beofre trying to reinstall. When trying to get the Solution Center back, I can't get past the download step because during download it "fails". I was able to download "drivers only" through the "add a printer" option, and I do have printing capability, however I am unable to use the scan function from the laptop (or directly from the 6500).
Weird that I can't get the scan function to work on the unit itself (I get the "no scan options" message when trying to do so) as I have confirmed mutliple times that the printer is successfully connected to the correct network.
Help please! Thank you
Re: Cannot download Solution Center for Off Jet 6500 Wireless since going to Windows 8.1
Welcome to the HP Forum.
You will not have access to the full features of the printer software until you manage to install the Full Feature Software. Scanning is one of those functions.
The initial Connection to the Internet is indeed part of it -- you need a reliable, clean, consistant connection that will allow you to download the full data file. Your connection may be dropping out part way through.
You may need to upgrade your network drivers after the Upgrade to Windows 8.1 . There are other issues can can plague a system after the Upgrade, most are well documented at this point. You can check with your system's Forum to what others are saying.
Basic Drivers only are much smaller in size -- just a few MBs.
Random Thoughts..
- You need to resolve the network issues so you can download the full software.
- You might have a friend download the file onto his computer and transfer the file to your system using a USB stick. This does not fix your network problems but it does solve at least the issue of not being able to get a hold of the installation package.
- You might try taking the computer to a friend's house -- if the issue is not within your computer's network setup, then the Upgrade may have "upset" the relationship between the computer and your home network.

Re: Cannot download Solution Center for Off Jet 6500 Wireless since going to Windows 8.1
Dragon Fur-
I appreciate your quick reply. The inbternet connection is not the issue. I am able to download from other sources, surf the web, and print with the 6500 wireless just fine.
What I don't understand is why since "upgrading" to Windows 8.1 when trying to download the HP Solutionb Center, after about 110MB it just stops and says "failed".
I am using Firefox 28.0 if that makes a difference. What happens is that it seems to download fine, but then at completion instead of showing the program name under the file in the downloads section, it just says "failed".
Any ideas?

I can only speculate.
You can try checking the Windows Event Viewer and see if you can track down anything recent that seems to indicate what might be going on. Reading the Event Viewer logs is part science and part an art that one must learn by doing it. Patience helps.
Edits - 01 May 2014
- I have been reminded that this error is quite typical of a Dial-up connection. If you are indeed dealing with this type of Internet connection then you have my sympathies. Been there, done that. This is a different kettle of fish, that is, this is a different type of problem -- larger file downloads are frequently a problem for Dial-up connections.
- You can try a different brand modem,
- you could try a different type modem (hardware versus software),
- you can try redialing the connection to get a better server or stronger connection,
- you can try putting a filter on a noisy phone line --
- Even better, have the physical phone line to your property repaired / replaced if you can talk the phone company into doing it. You might actually get them to do this if the local wildlife has chewed the lines badly enough.
The problem is that a noisy phone line is not a problem for voice traffic, it is only a problem for data traffic -- and your phone line is not rated for data traffic. The phone company does not care about this; you are not paying for a data line when you are using Dial-up on a phone line.
- The issue might be the Internet path needed to get the file data from its source to your computer. That means, everytime you download data from the Internet that data has to come from "somewhere", travel through "somewhere" - maybe several "somewheres" - and then manage to find its way to your computer. It may be that the travel path needed to get this data to your computer is somehow more difficult to traverse in the case of this package. In other words, not all data comes from the same place and travels the same path to get to your computer.
- Your ISP might be throttling your download. I do not know where you are located (and I do not need to know). Some Internet providers might have rules about these things -- a mere 100+ MB seems a paltry amount of data over which to be concerned; I have no idea what kind of service you have. Again, this is idle speculation.
- If you are working wireless, that is, wireless from the router to the computer, consider that the packact exchange can only handle a certain error rate and then it is going to fail. Consider connecting to your router by an Ethernet cable during larger file transfers if you cannot download large files.
- The fact that you can print using the printer has nothing to do with downloading data from the Internet. The two subjects are not related in any way.
- I use Firefox version 26 - big fan of Firefox. You might stay away from Internet Explorer for a few more days -- I do not think Microsoft has fixed that latest bug that can blow a hole in your whole system. You could try Chrome if you think Firefox might be having issues.
- The Upgrade to Windows 8.1 may or may not have had an impact on your ability to download large files. If the Upgrade has had an impact, then you must look to your computer's device drivers for your LAN / Wireless and even your USB, chipset. You must also make sure you have all the latest Windows 8.1 Windows Updates installed.
Perhaps you can try one of the work arounds to get a hold of the data file.

Dragun Fur,
You haven given several good suggestions and I will begin to troubleshoot using them.
Will follow up either way after complete, if not sooner with additional questions.
Thank you again very much for your help.

COT OMRA algorithm
0 Some time ago I came across an easy to follow algorithm to determine combining scheduled PPS assessments with COT OMRA assessments, but I'm wondering if anyone has an algorithm for COT's only. I will be off for a while, and would like to make the replacement's job a little less painful while I'm out.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Graphic novels | The best word to describe October's BookScan Top 20 is "diverse." No one publisher or genre dominated the list, which tracks graphic novel sales in bookstores. The list boasts four entries from perennial bestseller The Walking Dead, including the first and third volume of the massive Walking Dead Compendium; five volumes of manga, including the final volume of Naruto and the first three volumes of Tokyo Ghoul; two Star Wars collections; two kid-friendly titles, the first volume of Avatar: The Last Airbender: Smoke and Shadow and the second volume of Lumberjanes; two Batman books; and Adrian Tomine's Killing and Dying. If any one publisher dominated, it was Image Comics, with six books on the list, including the four Walking Dead titles, the fifth volume of Saga, and the first volume of Bitch Planet. [ICv2]
Creators | Cerebus creator Dave Sim was scheduled for surgery Tuesday after checking himself into the emergency room for severe stomach cramps. According to Sim's friend, Dr. Troy Thompson, "the presumptive diagnosis is cecal volvulus, which is a twisting of the colon causing obstruction." However, nothing will be known for sure until after the surgery. Sim was already feeling better after doctors inserted a nasogastric tube to remove the contents of his stomach. [A Moment of Cerebus, which is offering updates]
Legal | Matthew Pocci Jr., who in July drove into the crowd of ZombieWalk: San Diego, held annually during Comic-Con International, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a charge of felony reckless driving. His lawyer said that Pocci, who is deaf, was scared for his safety and that of his family when his car was engulfed by a crowd of people during the event. He initially stopped the car but then restarted the engine and moved forward, striking several people. [UT-San Diego]
Publishing | Papercutz, which has had an extremely successful program of LEGO graphic novels based on the Bionicle, Ninjago and Legends of Chima properties, is losing that license to Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, which will have its own graphic novels in bookstores by the end of this year. Papercutz reveals it will continue to publish Bionicle and Ninjago through the end of this year, and Legends of Chima through mid-2016. [Publishers Weekly, ICv2]
Passings | Fred Fredericks, who drew the Mandrake the Magician comic strip from 1965 to 2013, has died. In addition to his daily newspaper work, Fredericks drew comics for Western Publishing and Marvel. [ComicMix]
IDW Publishing has announced an August release date for Dave Sim's Cerebus: High Society Digital Audio/Visual Experience DVD set.
Funded in July 2012 through Kickstarter, the multimedia collection of the well-regarded "High Society" storyline (Cerebus #26-50) was originally serialized online. It features Sim reading each issue, in character, accompanied by music and sound effects, with motion effects added to the story art. There's also commentary and a virtual tour.
Business | Following weeks (if not months) of rumblings, Warner Bros. has made it official: Jeff Robinov, the Warner Bros. Pictures Group president who oversaw the 2009 restructuring of DC Comics into DC Entertainment, will leave the studio following a reorganization that establishes a new leadership team: Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing and distribution, Greg Silverman, president of creative development and worldwide production, and Toby Emmerich, president and chief operating officer of New Line Cinema. It doesn't appear as if Robinov will be replaced. DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson, who initially reported Robinov, presumably will answer directly to Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara; following a shakeup last month in the television and home entertainment division, Nelson reported to both Robinov and Tsujihara. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Vintage comics and original comic art brought in $4.4 million over the weekend during a Heritage auction in New York City, Artinfo reports. Among the bigger sales were a CGC-graded 6.5 copy of Detective Comics #27, for $567,625, and John Romita Sr.'s original cover for The Amazing Spider-Man #121, which fetched $286,800.
As we noted on Friday, Dave Gibbons' original cover art for Watchmen #1 sold for $155,350, with the first three covers going for a combined $216,892.50. John Higgins' color guide for the first cover was bought for $7,767.50. The remaining covers for the 12-issue landmark series are expected to go up for auction later this year.
Wired.com delves into the history of the 12 covers, which were purchased at a Sotheby's auction in 1993 by former Wizard Publisher Gareb Shamus for what's been reported to be in the neighborhood of $26,000. The article doesn't repeat that figure, but it does say what was paid was "a bargain price" (for instance, Higgins' color guide for the cover of Watchmen #1 was picked up for $50, which was then five to 10 times the usual price).
The same comics art auction this week that features Dave Gibbons' original Watchmen covers will include 10 pages from Dave Sim's Cerebus: High Society, sold by the cartoonist himself.
Asked by A Moment of Cerebus whether the sale was part of the "Doomsday Scenario" he outlined last summer in Glamourpuss #26, Sim explained, "Well, in a sense, when you're 57 years old in the comic-book field, everything is a Doomsday Scenario. I set this in motion by calling Lon and finding out if Heritage was interested, which they were. Very. So, that was very gratifying. But you have to start early. It's a long process of negotiation and I knew that would be the case. I set that in motion and then John and I did the Kickstarter campaign which didn't require AS early a start. It was successful but I guessed the money wouldn't last much past the end of the year with all the overhead and that was what happened. Lon and I weren't ready for the November auction which is what we originally planned. There was still some negotiating to do. But we were ready for the February auction. Lead time. Everything is lead time."
Bidding continues online through Thursday, with the sale scheduled for Friday in New York City as part of Heritage Auctions' Vintage Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction.
Whether it's re-released previous print work with all-new material included, or using digital to release work that never even made it to the print stage in the first place, this past week has been one that has suggested that, yet again, old indie comics could find themselves resurrected by digital.
Following a Monday visit to Dave Sim's Ontario home by CEO Ted Adams, IDW Publishing has struck a deal to release a hard-copy version of the Kickstarter-funded Cerebus: High Society Audio Digital as part of its new IDW Limited program. The company had already announced this week that it will publish a collection of all 300 Cerebus covers.
"I was coming here more as a decades-long Cerebus fan than as a publisher," Adams said in a statement. "Scott [Dunbier, special projects editor] was describing all the amazing cover material he's been scanning since Friday night and — talking to Dave on the phone — I said, 'I'm the CEO. Why does Scott get to have all the fun?" So I booked the same commuter flight Chicago-to-Kitchener that Scott had taken last week."
Comics | Last week a building fire destroyed the negatives for Dave Sim's Cerebus: High Society, but George Peter Gatsis reports that more than half the 500 pages already had been scanned for the audio/visual digital edition (covering issues 26-50). For the other pages, Sim will be getting the best possible printed material and, hopefully, high-res scans. [Bleeding Cool]
Comics | Food writer Jon Watson addresses "the rise of foodie comics," singling out Chew by John Layman and Rob Guillory: "It helps that the book is extremely well written, but I'm interested in a well-executed crossover of foodie culture into pop culture. It's not often that happens when it doesn't elicit a groan or feel forced. I think that, as food culture has grown of the last few decades, it is organically inspiring other art forms rather than feeling like an attempt at commercialization." [The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]
Comics | The negatives for Cerebus: High Society were destroyed last week in a fire that gutted a building in Waterloo, Ontario, that contained the apartment of Sandeep Atwal, communications director for Dave Sim's Aardvark-Vanaheim Inc. According to Sim, Atwal, who had been scanning artwork for the Kickstarter-funded audio/visual digital edition of High Society, escaped with only his wallet and the clothes he was wearing. "So, I thought I'd better let everyone know that we're definitely not on track for the September 12 launch at this point," Sim wrote. "I don't expect that I'll hear from Sandeep for at least a few days — he's staying with friends and obviously has a lot more important things to think about than HIGH SOCIETY DIGITAL." Cerebus Fangirl has begun collecting donations to help Atwal. [A Moment of Cerebus, via The Beat]
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.

If I had $15, the third issue of Batman Inc. would be a must for me this week [after Chris turned in his picks, DC announced that the issue will be delayed until next month], especially since it features the return of Matches Malone, a character I wasn't even aware I missed until now. I might also spring for the first issue of Axe Cop: President of the World, a new limited series featuring the hatchet-swinging lawman.
I read very little manga by Moyoco Anno, but what I have read has impressed me and what I've read about her has made me want to seek more of her work out. So with $30, I'd almost certainly nab Sakuran, Vol. 1, about a high-priced courtesan/geisha looking to escape her gilded cage.
If I really, really wanted to splurge, I'd plunk $125 down for the second printing of the Wally Wood EC Stories Artist Edition from IDW, of which I've only heard wonderful things. If my splurging had to be a little budget-friendly, and I was in a more academic mood, I'd at least flip through Cerebus: The Barbarian Messiah, a collection of critical essays on Dave Sim's controversial opus.
Flush with the success of his Kickstarter drive for high-end audio/visual digital edition of Cerebus: High Society, cartoonist Dave Sim is busily going about the process of assembling high-resolution images of his original artwork for this impressive collection. Problem is, he doesn't have most of it.
In a posting on his Kickstarter page, Sim has put out a call for people who own original Cerebus art to send scans to him (see the specifications here). Sim's intention is to substitute the original, decades-old plates from previous Cerebus printings with these new, high-resolution digital scans for future Cerebus collections both in the standard trade paperback size and the larger books like the audio/visual edition.
"No idea how long it will take to track down and scan all 6,000 pages (there are 3,800 in the Cerebus Archive) or even how many pages still exist," Sim wrote. "It's not hard to imagine someone buying an early page for $20 at a convention and later going 'What was I THINKING?' and trashing it. Anyway, any and all help with spreading the word via News site, Twitter feed, re-twee, re-re-tweet Pony Express or whatever IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED."
So if you or someone you know has original art from Cerebus, now's the time to step up. Here's a beautiful page from Cerebus #114:
Today our special guest is the recently married Akira the Don, a musician and artist whose latest album, The Life Equation, can be heard on his website.

But the main impediment to Dave Sim's literary reputation is Dave Sim himself. His regressive social and political views and obnoxious rhetoric have created a public persona that's eclipsed his artistic achievement in the comics world much more completely than it would have in the larger, less insular artistic world — where, for example, plenty of people call John Updike a chauvinist but not even his bitterest detractors question his mastery as a prose stylist, where Karlheinz Stockhausen's ill-advised statement about 9/11 being a work of art didn't get him ejected from the first rank of postwar composers, and artists like Wagner and Pound are still secure in their respective pantheons despite having endorsed ideas that are, to put it charitably, pretty well discredited.
But Sim's controversial ideas are not peripheral to his work; he ultimately makes them its central message and purpose. Wagner never actually wrote any operas about the villainy of the Jews, nor Pound cantos praising the wise and just rule of Franco, but Sim incorporated his screeds about women and the tenets of his one-man religion into the text of his novel, so that even a reader determined to ignore all the apocryphal gossipy bullshit accumulated around the artist and concentrate on the work itself is finally forced to confront the fact that the man has some bizarre ideas and an abrasive way of expressing them.
–Tim Kreider, in his must-read introduction to a longer essay on Dave Sim's seminal (in more ways than one) independent comic Cerebus from The Comics Journal #301. (I made this exact point, complete with the Wagner example, a few years back.) It's one thing to be an artist with odious ideas unrelated or tangential to your art; it's quite another to make them your art's main attraction. Kudos to Kreider for drawing the distinction so clearly.

Cartilage (Bovine and Shark) (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Patient Information [NCI] - Overview
- Cartilage is a type of tough, flexible connective tissue (see Question 1).
- Cartilage from cows (bovine cartilage) and sharks has been studied as a treatment for people with cancer and other medical conditions for more than 30 years (see Question 2).
- Laboratory and animal studies have looked at whether bovine and shark cartilage products can kill cancer cells, make the immune system more active against cancer, and prevent the body from making the new blood vessels that a tumor needs to grow (see Question 5).
- The results have been mixed in the human studies of cartilage as a treatment for cancer reported to date (see Question 6).
- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved cartilage as a treatment for cancer (see Question 8).

The Waitaki District Council is working to improve wastewater
treatment in settlements, completing three projects recently
and investigating others, despite the significant financial
impact on ratepayers.
Issues with some treatment plants in the district, notably at
Moeraki and Kakanui which had significant issues, were raised
at an Otago Regional Council meeting last week.
The Waitaki council's water and wastewater asset manager
Martin Pacey said the council had been upgrading its
wastewater systems since 1994 and invested heavily to meet
environmental and health standards.
Finding wastewater solutions affordable for the district's
small, geographically isolated communities that can meet
required standards was a huge challenge requiring careful
planning and significant ratepayer funding, he said.
Wastewater upgrades also coincided with water supply upgrades
required to meet the Government's drinking water standards,
adding to costs.
That hit some communities with a small ratepayer base hard,
with wastewater, water and roading upgrades too.
In Moeraki, land stability was costly for ratepayers as well.
Recent upgrades for Kurow, Otematata and Omarama proved
successful, with ongoing costs controlled and environmental
performance improved, and with long-life consents issued.
Planned wastewater upgrades for the whole district should be
complete within three years and interim consents were issued
for Moeraki and Kakanui while upgrades were completed.
''Works are well under way for wastewater upgrades at
Kakanui, Palmerston and Moeraki,'' Mr Pacey said.
The council recently decided, in consultation with the
community, to connect Kakanui to Oamaru this year.
Palmerston was issued with a new consent to allow spray
irrigation of wastewater on to land within the next 12
months, maximising wastewater in a water-short area.
''Moeraki is the final significant planned wastewater
upgrade. However, replacement for this is not
straightforward, with no easy, affordable solution.
''Five options are being considered, but with only 200 users
to pay for any improvements, affordability is a major
The council was close to determining an acceptable and
affordable solution.

The Moscow Exchange was set for a relatively disappointing flotation Friday after Russia's main trading platform was valued at $4.2 billion, well below its own valuation estimates.
The news deals a blow to President Vladimir Putin's efforts to transform Moscow into a global financial centre and underscores analyst mistrust of a bourse now mired by low volumes and regular trading in just a few big stocks.
The exchange -- formed in a 2011 merger of the MICEX and RTS trading floors -- had set its floatation price range at 55-63 rubles ($1.84-$2.10 / 1.34-1.55 euros) per share.
A good result would have valued the company at $4.6 billion (3.4 billion euros). But the exchange said the price had been set at 55 rubles after a 10-day roadshow. Trading was due to open Friday afternoon.
Company officials put a brave face on the situation by pointing out they met their main goal of raising $500 million that will go toward IT improvements and boosting the capitalisation of its clearing subsidiary.
"Today's announcement marks an important moment for Moscow Exchange and for the Russian capital markets," said its chairman Sergei Shevtsov.
"Having successfully placed 15 billion rubles ($500 million), Moscow exchange is strongly positioned to develop as a major global trading venue across multiple asset classes," Shevtsov said in a statement.
The price tag on Russia's home of both stock and bond as well as derivatives trading is less than the $4.5 billion valuation the merged company earned two years ago.
The dip reflects the hardships Russian stocks have suffered amid fears by Western investors to emerging market risk since the recent global economic downturn.
But analysts also warn that the exchange's suggested price-to-earnings ratio of around 15 made it too expensive compared with its Western counterparts.
The authorities had hoped that a successful IPO would help encourage others to forgo financial capitals such as Hong Kong or London and list in Moscow.
Putin had initially set the goal of turning Moscow into a global financial centre rivalling London and New York while still serving as Kremlin chief in 2000-2008.

In the linked screenshot, it's the white bands saying "recent articles", "more articles" and the small text below that saying "Apologies, but no entries were found." How can I get those items to appear in French? And is there a plugin that can do it so I don't have to mess with code?

Dear All,
I have WP 3.4.2 with Arras theme.
Today, I changed my main menu to another one on freewheely.com
The menus drop down correctly, but when the mouse goes away from the main menu to go to a submenu, this submenu disappears. You can try it now.
So I reverted to the former menu I had and worked fine. Now even this one do not work anymore. I have changed nothing in the meantime, except a new post.
Would anyone have a hint for solving this problem?
Thank you,

I already look after a website for a charity and another
for a non-profit group so the idea of consolidating resources between the two was appealing to me. I setup a few scripts and have put together a little hosting environment available to charities for hosting sites based upon WordPress.
What do you all think of this? It's an idea that's still running around my head and changing so any suggestions are welcome! I apologise for the mostly default theme, my designer has yet to find the time in the few days I've had this online.
