Teradata is an enterprise software company that develops and sells a relational database management system (RDBMS) with the same name. In February 2011, Gartner ranked Teradata as one of the leading companies in data warehousing and enterprise analytics.[4] Teradata was a division of the NCR Corporation, which acquired Teradata on February 28, 1991. Teradata's revenues in 2005 were almost $1.5 billion with an operating margin of 21%.[3] On January 8, 2007, NCR announced that it would spin-off Teradata as an independently traded company,[5] and this spin-off was completed October 1 of the same year, with Teradata trading under the NYSE stock symbol TDC.[6]
The Teradata product is referred to as a "data warehouse system" and stores and manages data. The data warehouses use a "shared nothing architecture," which means that each server node has its own memory and processing power. Adding more servers and nodes increases the amount of data that can be stored. The database software sits on top of the servers and spreads the workload among them.[7] Teradata sells applications and software to process different types of data. In 2010, Teradata added text analytics to track unstructured data, such as word processor documents, and semi-structured data, such as spreadsheets.[8]
Teradata's product can be used for business analysis. Data warehouses can track company data, such as sales, customer preferences, product placement, etc.[7]

The highest national turnout in recent years in the UK was the 1992 election, which concluded with a
Since then, national turnout has gone from bad to worse. In Labour's 1997 landslide, just 71.4 percent showed up to vote, the lowest since 1935. But this was small compared to the major drop in participation that occurred during the 2001 election, when less than 60 percent of voters cast their ballots.
While seats held by all parties experience a drop in turnout from 1992 to 1997 and then again from 1997 to 2001, Labour seats throughout had the lowest overall turnout -- with the gap growing in 2001 and 2005.
In Conservative-won seats in the 2001 election, when the big turnout drop occurred, turnout was relatively consistent throughout, with quite heterogeneous majorities.
Besides the main zero slope cluster, there was also a group of seats on the upper edge of conservative support where increased turnout resulted in higher majorities.
For the Lib Dems, it was a similar pattern. In short, the party's majorities were independent from turnout.
However, in constituencies won by Labour, a different pattern emerged.
In Labour constituencies in 2001 -- the same seats they won in the Blair landslide of 1997 save 5 extreme marginals lost -- the relationship between turnout and victory margin is stunning. Basically, in safe Labour seats, fewer people showed up to vote -- knowing that Labour would win nonetheless. In particular, you would guess, Conservatives, who were demoralized from the 97 loss.
However, when you look at the change in turnout against the seat swing (Con to Lab swing) in Labour won seats, this trend does not come through.
In short, it appears that in Labour seats from 1997, both Conservative and Labour voters became disenchanted -- a significant number of Labour voters who were caught up in the Tony Blair furor sat out the 2001 election, while Conservative voters who were certain that they could not win in safe or relatively safe Labour constituencies also stayed home.
Why does this matter to us in 2010 context?
There are 4 reasons that this is important to us this election season:
1. Demoralized voters from 2001 and 2005 may choose this election to make a comeback. Polling numbers are showing 10-20 percent undecideds, and significant number of these voters did not vote either in 2001 or 2005. These voters could either stay on the sidelines or decided to come back in the mix. However, given that both Labour and Tory voters left the electorate in 2001 and 2005, it will be a matter of which party can motivate more of their former base to return, something that should favor the Conservatives.
2. Labour middle marginals -- the ones the Tories need to win in order -- have relatively low turnout. In the middle marginal Labour seats, where low turnout has dominated the last several elections, a new influx of voters could push the overall totals 3-5 points in either direction, which could be enough to win. Particularly the seats that used to be quite safe for Labour going into 2001 and 2005.
3. Polling numbers tend to favor the most committed voters. The polls that we have seen so far have had relatively stringent likely voter screens (generally, only 10 out of 10 certain to vote respondants have been included), meaning that we are not really sure of how returning voters may react.
4. Labour seats with 30+ leads will still see quite low turnout. For the reasons said above, the safest of Labour's seats will undoubtedly still get quite low turnout, and big margins of victory. This will have similiar implications for national popular vote numbers, and associated polling that precede them.

A round-up of recent discoveries in behavior research
The gene behind a butterfly's mimicry; the evolution of adipose fins; bacteria and bowel cancer; plants lacking plastid genomes
A gene-editing protocol shows promise, and a second baby who was started on antiretroviral drugs soon after birth appears to be virus-free a year later.
Low-protein diets are linked to longer life spans in mice and humans.
Adipose fins, long considered vestigial, may have evolved multiple times as a key adaptation in some fish, study finds.
Fish with complex light-emitting photophore patterns may be primed to split into new species.
A single molecule emitted by male goats may influence female goat physiology and behavior.
Once believed to be irrevocably differentiated, mature cells are now proving to be flexible, able to switch identities with relatively simple manipulation.

I think it was because my uncle was an ISU grad. Others in my family didn't root for or against ISU/UI. We cheered for both. As I became more interested in sports, it was too easy to be a Hawk fan, and most others were doing it. I didn't get to too many games before 1995, but I always listened to Pete. I still miss Pete. In 1995, I became diehard everything Cyclone. Bought a red van, welded goalposts on with a buddy, and I still tailgate in that van today (when it starts). Those MBB teams were sweet from 1995-2000. Those years are what I think ISU can and should be right now--that's where my opinions were formed (same with the WBB team). I also had the roller-coaster emotions with the Danny Mac era, because he became a true Iowa Stater the same year I did.
Dad and uncles went to ISU. But mainly watching Jeff Grayer when I was a little guy. I have some great early memories of watching Cyclone Basketball with my parents. I would also draw pictures of Cy in school, and write game time stories that had Mr. Grayer making the final shot....winning it for the Cyclones.
been going to football games for 33 years(I am 37). My parents are both alums. I just recognized at an early age how terribly arrogant and condescending the EIU fans were, and have been rooting for the good guys all my life. I would be an alum as well, but I got a full academic ride to a smaller school. Go cyclones!!!
"Skin it: Skin that smokewagon and see what happens!"
Uncle played football in late 80's where my brothers turned into Cyclones, then they turned me into Cyclones. Now my uncle lives and works in Iowa City and his kids are Hawkeye fans. And my parents and all my siblings went to isu.

my cousin was an all-american wrestler here and we would drive up to watch him when i was a kid... not to mention my older brother was a fan of isu and i wanted to be exactly like him when i was younger... still do too if your reading this bro
Haven't read thru all the replies yet but mine was as a kid at the Nick Nurse basketball camp when Fred Hoiberg, Loren Meyer, and Julius Michalik all came to Carroll and helped Nick teach some skills. Afterwards they hung around, signed basketballs, posters, shirts' etc. They were very down to earth, great guys.
I was raised by my dad to cheer for both ISU and Iowa, but more importantly, hate the Huskers. Since ISU plays Nebraska more than Iowa, I started to care about Iowa State more. My favorite aunt was going to ISU, and was a big cyclone fan, so she influenced me too. I liked McCarney, and his bowl seasons drew me in as a fan of Iowa State football. I didn't pay much attention to men's basketball until McDermott was hired, but I saw the press conference on TV and started watching basketball games regularly after that. Then when our previous football coach was hired, I wanted to learn more about him and found CF. Been a huge fan of all Iowa State sports since then.
Like I said in the other thread, it was Willoughby. I never really followed college athletics before. I worked at a job in Ames that sent a service guy to every function at Hilton. I went to a game with my boss when I was training for the job. Fell in love with the Cyclones that night. I used to run into him and Cato at Tazzles. Dedric was a really nice guy and he would always have time to shoot the bull. Before then, I had been to maybe 4 ISU games, football and basketball, in my whole life. This fall will mark eight years in a row that I have gotten season tickets for football. I have been to Austin, Manhattan, Columbia, Lawrence, Lincoln, and Iowa City. I have missed one home football game in that time. (For a wedding) Next will be season tickets for Basketball and I have a cousin who is getting me into wrestling now. Football season is like my vacation for the year.
"Bring it all to the table. Don't hold nothin' back," he said. "I want you. I want the ball. I want your head. I throw my body into 'em and hit them." - #23 Leonard Johnson
My whole family is ISU fans so i was born into it. But im glad I was
were xcyting
Good thread Erik.....a nice rest from the multiple bball in-fighting threads on the site..
Carrying the banner for ISU.
I am from the Ottumwa area and when I was ten yrs old in 1988 the Cyclones played against each other at Indian Hills Comm. College. My dad took my brother and I to watch the game (he was already a Cyclone) and after the game I met the players got their autographs and Johnny Orr's on the program provided for the game. Ever since then I have bleed Cardinal and Gold for the sports here. Then I moved up here to attend Dmacc and I fell in love with the campus and the town here and met my wife who is an ISU alum so yeah I love ISU!!!

I've posted this in previous threads - but when my older brohter was an ISU student he took me to a game at Clyde Williams Field when I was about 13. Luther Blue ran the second half kickoff back for a touchdown, the student section did a cheer which included a swear word - and I thought "Uhhhhmmmmm" - this is the COOLEST place I've ever been. Listened to every game for FB and MBB for years with Pete Taylor. Couldn't change now if I wanted to. And the kickoff return was spectacular.
ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased) Ya gotta have the horses, man - Johnny Orr.
Started grad school at ISU in August of 1971. I know, that makes me old. Started going to football games in Clyde Williams that year. I guess I became a true fan when the Cyclones tied Nebraska in the mud bowl there with Johnny Majors coaching (not sure of the year but I think it was 1971). It rained on us the whole game and someone behind me relieved himself in the stands late in the 4th quarter. I became a Cyclone fan for life that day.
I always have been and always will be. Don't know why, just never been anything else.

Can ImagePro Plus quantify Western Blot bands?
Started by fortunate, Sep 14 2010 02:04 PM
No replies to this topic
Posted 14 September 2010 - 02:04 PM
I know that softwares like 'ImageQuant' or 'Gel-pro Analyzer' are used for Western blotting image quantification. But my lab only has 'ImagePro Plus' and I did some Western blotting recently that needs quantification. Right now, I just am not sure whether it's acceptable or how accurate it is compared with other softwares.
So if anyone knows how to use ImagePro Plus to do this job, could you share your experience a bit with me? Even some simple instructions will be helpful!

Investigators sought Friday to determine if an unemployed Del Mar man accused of raping an East County woman he met through a Christian dating website might have targeted additional alleged victims.
Sean Patrick Banks, 37, was arrested Monday and jailed on suspicion of two sex-assault charges and a count of residential burglary. Two days later, he pleaded not guilty to the allegations, posted $500,000 bail and was released from custody on his own recognizance.
Banks faces 36 years to life in prison if convicted of the charges, according to prosecutors.
Using the online moniker "Rarity," Banks got in touch with a La Mesa resident on Christianmingle.com last November and visited her home, where he allegedly raped her, Lt. Matt Nicholass said.
The woman, who is in her 20s, did not know Banks' real name, and it took detectives several months to identify him as the suspected assailant.
Banks also alternately called himself "Rylan Butterwood" and "Rylan Harbough" on the dating website, according to Nicholass.
"After further follow-up in the investigation, the La Mesa Police Department is concerned there may have been more cases (involving) other women," the lieutenant said.
Banks' next court appearance, a readiness conference, is scheduled for March 1.

About Me
I may not know art, but I know what I like -- and I like functional things that are beautiful.
I haven't formally studied pottery anywhere but by experience...and I'm still learning. I may not be really good at pottery, but I enjoy it! Since I work a day job for the benefits and to pay the bills, I can afford to take my time and just have fun throughout the addicting process of working with clay.
Rather than re-uploading pottery photos here, I will give you a link to my Photobucket gallery!
You can also see many works in progress (plus other random snapshots I take with my phone) at my Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/nanspins
I'm also working on putting my clay and glaze reviews on my journal here: http://rubian77.live...related reviews

Chamois For Cars Also Good For Clay?
18 January 2014 - 08:12 AM
While at a local store, I saw a relatively large piece of chamois for sale -- intended for use on cars. The packaging said that it was treated with something (and dang if I can remember what it was! Some kind of oil.) so although I was tempted to buy it, I didn't because I wasn't sure if the oil used to treat the chamois would affect the clay. Then again, I'm not even sure if the chamois that I buy specifically for my clay is treated with the same kind of oil!
Has anyone else tried this?? Any thoughts on it? Also, regarding chamois, is it okay to run it through the washing machine before I start using it on clay? Or is that not recommended?
Any Tips On Making Many Small-Ish Holes?
06 July 2013 - 09:08 PM
Let's say I'm making a colander or a strainer, such as a berry bowl...I have a hole cutter, which works, but are there any neat tips that anyone can share to make a pattern? Or for cleaning the cut holes?
Standard 563?
23 June 2013 - 10:45 AM
I thought I was using too much water, so I tried using less. Still can't get a decent large bowl out of it before it collapses.
Am I just too impatient and need to let the clay stiffen up a bit more before I use it? Or is this clay just not good for some things?
Thoughts appreciated....
Experience with Mayco Jungle Gems and other commercial "crystal" glazes?
08 June 2013 - 08:59 AM
I don't have the equipment or the wherewithal to make my own glazes yet, so I am limited to what's available commercially. I know it's an option to buy a jar and do a test tile, but I figured I'd check here first because I'd rather not fork out $20-30 (including shipping) for a pint of glaze that won't work for me and that I can't use...pottery is a hobby for me, and funds are limited.
How runny/stable are they? (Should I make an extra tray to catch the drips, or plan to grind?)
I know you need to stir them up well because the crystals (aka crushed glass for some types) settle to the bottom. Are the crystals obvious, so that if I wanted to place one specifically I could do that?
Any other things I should know about - good, bad, or indifferent?
Any input is appreciated!
[ETA: Shoot, I just noticed this is in "In the Studio." Probably should be in "Clay & Glaze Technical." I'm not sure how to fix that, but if a CAD person can, feel free to do so! Thanks!]

With six overs to go in the last game of what will go down as India's summer of despair, Mahendra Singh Dhoni looked around the field for a bowler and threw the ball to Virat Kohli. None of his bowlers had bowled out but his favoured death bowler Munaf Patel - and that is a story in itself - had been carried off the field. There can be no more telling statement on the poverty of Indian bowling.
At Cardiff, India scored what looked like enough, as they did at Lord's and Southampton, indeed even more so. But in neither case was it enough and another man might have made his frustration apparent. India's best bowler on this tour, Zaheer Khan, lasted a few overs and the next best, Praveen Kumar, wasn't playing. Dhoni might have looked at Ravichandran Ashwin, might have worried about whether the ball was too wet, but that doesn't take away from the fact that there was no one on the park the batsmen would have felt discomfort towards.
In this form of the game, I don't think India need worry too much about the batting. Kohli produced a gem - deservingly the best batting performance on the Castrol Index - Dhoni showed why he is probably India's best limited-overs player and at other times Ajinkya Rahane, Parthiv Patel and, most potently, Suresh Raina have shown that India's batting stocks are doing fine. Yes, in Test cricket far too many questions were asked and far too few answers were forthcoming, but in limited-overs cricket the batting looks fine. But the bowling...ah, a long story without an end in sight. There has been a clamour for the inclusion of Varun Aaron but it isn't as if India have left out a Malcolm Marshall or, for that matter, Steven Finn, who couldn't make the Tests and looked the best bowler on either side in Cardiff.
Surely this must wake people up. There is a lot to do and not a lot of time in which to do it. I will watch the BCCI's reaction to this tour with much interest and anticipation for this has been a stinging slap. I hope I don't have to wait too long!

I don't think it bodes well for Nebraska's defense that Cody Glen has already ascended to starting OLB. I mean, the guy has been playing LB for oh, about three weeks now. On the other side is a Sr. walkon who has about 9 career tackles. And I thought they couldn't stop anyone last year. On offense, the only talent that appears to remain is at RB in Lucky, Helu and Castille. Unfortunately, no one on the OL can seem to open any holes for these guys. Ganz sure won't scare anyone at QB, especially since they lost Purify, Hardy, Swift and Nunn at WR. There definitely seems to be a distinct lack of talent in Lincoln this year, which should lead to a long season for Husker fans. My guess is they will turn on Shawn Watson at some point early in the season as the offense sputters, as he is a remant of the old regime. After all, nothing could be Bo's fault, he's the savior. Anyone remember hearing that about Callahan 5 years ago?
the other day i was in our local convenience store where the locals all come to chat up this and that...anyway, a husker fan that i know was in there along with a lot of cyclone and eiu fans. i looked at my husker friend and said 'hey, did you hear that 80,000 fans paid and watched the huskers' spring game and still saw nothing!?!' everybody was laughing about as loud as they could and all the husker fan could do was put his head down and said 'yeah'

Let's begin with a chart. Does the following sort of return compared to the S&P 500 (SPY) intrigue you?
It's funny how we find out about some stocks. I looked into Fidelity National Financial (FNF), of the above strong returns, when I started out investing in the stock market in early 2011. I wanted to have a financial stock in my portfolio, and I knew about Fidelity as an investment company. I was thinking about the brokerage - an entirely different company, in other words - and stumbled on FNF, which had an attractive dividend and looked promising enough as a financial play. So I opened a position in March of 2011, from which that chart dates.
After holding it for a little while, I realized Fidelity National Financial was an insurance company, not a bank. Thinking I needed an actual bank, and that I could get a better yield elsewhere, I stumbled on Flushing Financial (FFIC), a small NYC bank that is perfectly fine (and not coincidentally has a ticker symbol close to FNF). Fidelity went up in the meanwhile, and I sold out of the position in early May 2011, pocketing a not bad 8.6% gain and switching to FFIC and its marginally better dividend and (I thought) growth prospects. Here's how that worked out:
A year or so later, I thought I'd check back with Fidelity. Despite being the nation's leading title insurance provider and a Fortune 500 company, presenting a decent dividend and returns far outpacing the financial sector as a whole, Fidelity is not a much followed company, either on Seeking Alpha or in the investing media in general. Considering its diverse portfolio, position as national leader in the title insurance industry, increasing margins, and ability to take advantage of an impending housing comeback, this lack of attention seems rather glaring.
Fidelity National Financial is the holding company for several businesses. The main business is Fidelity National Title Group, the banner under which several regional title insurance businesses are stuffed. The title insurance, other insurances, and closing services provided by FNF offer essential support to the real estate process. Through its ServiceLink business, FNF also has a national lender program to offer support to mortgage originators and servicers.
Fidelity's title insurance business is, as mentioned, a national leader. The company has 35% of the market share. Its margins set the industry standard as well at above 10%. Other writers have made the argument that these high margins leave FNF vulnerable as its rivals, most notably First American Financial (FAF) should be able to increase margins to catch up. Both articles are worth reading; my sense is that having high margins and top market share is a good position to be, though Fidelity has lost some share over the past few years.
Fidelity also holds ownership stakes in a few other businesses that the company characterizes as part of its investment portfolio (indeed, one of the notable red flags in considering Fidelity is its opacity in reporting results of these holdings). Among those are a 47% stake in Remy International, an auto-parts manufacturer; a 33% stake in global business services firm Ceridian International; a 70% stake in Cascade Timberlands; and most notably, 55% control of American Blue Ribbons Holdings, a restaurant company. Overall, these businesses added $5.8M in earnings for Q1 2012, just under 8% of total earnings.
The last of that list is most notable because Fidelity has been adding to its restaurant business. The company just bought out the remaining outstanding shares of O'Charley's (CHUX), giving it control of the O'Charley's, Stoney River Legendary Stakes, and the Ninety Nine restaurant chains (the last brought to my mind warm memories of the cheesy, catchy jingle, "The Ninety-Nine/(great deal)/The Ninety-Nine/(best deal)/The Ninety-Nine, the best deal in town!" That and the jingle for Foxwoods Casino. Ahhh…). Adding over 340 restaurants to American Blue Ribbons Holdings gives Fidelity a stake in a 674 restaurant company under six different chains.
An insurance company investing heavily in the restaurant business seems odd, to say the least, and others have criticized Fidelity for its lack of focus. There are a few compelling aspects of Fidelity's increased investment in the space, however. For one, Fidelity has a good history of developing and divesting of assets, as was the case recently when the company sold off its flood insurance business. Management views this as a similar opportunity: Fidelity is guiding to grow the new ABRH from a pro forma $1.25B in revenue in 2011 to a $2B revenue business in the next 2-3 years, a CAGR of between 20-28%. The gap between ABRH's EBITDA margins and O'Charley's lower margins suggest Fidelity can improve its new restaurants' margins, and that before the $20M in guided synergies for the acquisition. In its most recent conference call, the company hinted that the end-game upon achieving those targets would be to spin the business off as a publicly-traded business in which Fidelity would maintain a large ownership stake. This seems like a solid value for the company.
The last compelling aspect of the O'Charley's acquisition is that the chains Fidelity acquired in this deal are very family-oriented, the sort of restaurants that show up in strip malls or suburban centers. An increase in home ownership could play into an increase in casual restaurant dining for families. For a company that already makes its bones on housing, in a period where many speculate housing is soon to recover, adding exposure through a different revenue stream to this trend is not beyond the pale.
Having run down Fidelity's business, we move to the numbers, comparing FNF's valuation to its peers. For peers, I chose its two main title insurance rivals (FAF and Stewart Information Services (STC)), two other insurance companies of similar market capitalization, and Allstate (ALL) for an industry leader comparison.

Dividend | 0.56 | 0.32 | 0.05 | 1.61 | 0.36 | 0.88 |
Dividend Yield % | 2.88% | 1.89% | 0.34% | 4.37% | 0.96% | 2.59% |
Fidelity does not have growth forecasts for the coming years, which is obviously not ideal. That said, Fidelity's first quarter is well ahead of its earnings pace from last year, and last year's number included about $.38/share in earnings from the sale of the flood insurance business. Subtracting that impact, FNF's P/E for 2011 obviously jumps (to 15.17x earnings), but the business looks much steadier, with low positive growth for the next three years but a chance at upside through the restaurant business or, more importantly, a revival in housing. In any case, the stock appears fairly valued at current levels, which makes sense considering how much it has run up in the past 15 months.
Fidelity's management feels good enough about the company's position to have the board approved a dividend hike of nearly 17% earlier this year. The share price has run well ahead of that hike, keeping the yield lower than it might be, but for this peer group the yield is quite good. At the same time, Fidelity's dividend history is rather rocky: the company halved the dividend during the 2008 crisis, raised it once in 2010, cut it by 33% again at the beginning of 2011, and only now recovered some of that second cut. The payout ratio is only 40%, suggesting there is room to grow the dividend, but the company's track record means this is not the safest dividend in the world.
The story for Fidelity on the whole is interesting, at least. Positives include the company's leading position in the title insurance industry, its industry-leading margins, its exposure to the housing recovery, and its diverse portfolio. The agglomerated ABRH especially could turn into a very nice investment for the company in support of its core business. As mentioned, the hypothetical vulnerability of those margins and the lack of focus within that portfolio, as well as a shaky dividend history, can be viewed as the key red flags. Also significant is the fact that the stock sits just below its 52-week high (set last Friday) and has not had a real pullback since February/March.
Having left the stock too early, a year ago, I consider Fidelity cautiously. The spurned investor in me wants to make up missing out on a huge move for silly reasons. Having run the numbers and studied the company, I'm intrigued enough to keep an eye on it again; however, considering the price move, I'd like it to pull back to around 18 if possible before getting really interested. A steady business with exposure to some intriguing and strengthening parts of the U.S. economy and, at that pulled back price, 3+% yield would be an interesting proposition.
Those who think housing is coming back and want a solid, dividend-supported way to play it, consider Fidelity if it pulls back. In the meantime, the trick for all of us is to learn from our mistakes, so that next time we don't leave the same money on the table. At least, that's the hope.

Several dead after bus careens into Oregon ravine
LOS ANGELES, Dec 30, 2012 (AFP) - A Canada-bound bus crashed through a guard rail on an icy road in Oregon on Sunday and careened into a ravine, killing at least nine people and injuring at least 18 others, state police said.
The bus fell a couple hundred feet before stopping, Oregon State Police said on its website, adding that the chartered bus was reportedly heading home to Vancouver, Canada from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Police in the northwestern state are still investigating the cause of the crash, which occurred in the morning near the city of Pendleton, in northeastern Oregon.
The rescue effort was complicated by the drop-off from the highway, and police said "personnel trained for rope rescues" were called in to help.

(AFP) – Oct 15, 2008
CHISINAU (AFP) — Moldova is to withdraw its small contingent of soldiers in Iraq ahead of schedule in December, its army said Wednesday.
The decision to pull the troops out three months early reflected Iraq's "stability... and the transfer of de-mining operations to (Iraqi) armed forces," General Ion Coropcean told AFP.
Moldova has had a contingent of 20 personnel to remove land mines left over in Iraq since the US-led invasion of the Middle Eastern country in March 2003.

Kelly Brook will throw a party to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.
The curvy model is shunning a wild bash and will instead host a sophisticated soiree with ''lots of tea and cake'' to mark Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne.
She told LOOK magazine: ''[My Diamond Jubilee party plans include] lots of tea and cake. I'll make little crowns, and dress up in my 50s style printed dresses. I'll rock vintage-look curled hair and pearls too.''
While people all over the country will be holding parties like Kelly to celebrate, Queen Elizabeth will make an emotional appearance on stage at her at her Diamond Jubilee concert tomorrow (04.05.12) flanked by senior members of the Royal Family.
A source said: ''The queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have asked to go on stage to thank the crowds, and the nation, for their warm wishes.
''But the Prince of Wales wants to pay tribute to his mother, as do William and Harry, and will all stand with her.''

There was a lot of crap too, and I just deleted those. Here's what made the cut:

RELATED | NCIS Promotes Ziva's Successor to Series Regular — Get a First Look at Ellie Bishop
WHO'S THE BOSS? | In this week's episode, "Better Angels," Gibbs will break away from HQ to help his father (returning guest star Ralph Waite) reconnect with a former war pilot. "It's really emotional and based on some real historical storytelling that we came across, and it has some terrific flashbacks to young Jackson Gibbs (played by Andrew Lander)," Glasberg shares. "Ralph Waite did an amazing job — he brings it every single time and continues to blow me away." With the boss preoccupied, DiNozzo and McGee will wrestle for leadership of the team as they investigate a Marine sergeant's murder. "The Tony/McGee stuff is fun, with the two of them bickering like brothers," says Glasberg.

NEW GIRL | Emily Wickersham makes her debut as NSA analyst Ellie Bishop in the Nov. 19 episode "Gut Check" — and as reported earlier this week, she promptly
earned herself a promotion to series regular. Explaining why, to "keep things moving," a show can't always wait to reveal a character and then gauge fan reaction, Glasberg says, "We were seeing, and the network was seeing, moments and scenes and a connection with our characters that we all really responded to. Emotional moments, fun moments, funny moments that were all there. And the minute that enthusiasm skyrocketed, everyone agreed that we needed to act on it." With Bishop first advising Gibbs' team and then eventually joining it, Glasberg says the dynamic is "new — there's no doubt about it — but it's very much NCIS. Nothing has changed in terms of that."RELATED | NCIS Recap: A Kiss Before Goodbye-ing — What Grade Do You Give Ziva's Exit?

Then on Dec. 17, the Christmas episode "Homesick" revolves around people stricken by virus connected to the military. "It involves Abby, and she brings in the help of her lab tech friend Carol Wilson (played by Pauley Perrette's real-life BFF Meredith Eaton.

And while Tony DiNozzo Sr. won't be home for the holidays this time around, Robert Wagner will pop back up as the patriarch in Episode 250, a milestone hour "which is a big deal for us," Glasberg attests.Want more scoop on NCIS, or for any other show?

Could we detect signs of alien life on a dying planet?
Scientists say that we should be on the lookout for purple planets
Science and entertainment from the world of tomorrow.
It looks like it's finally going to happen, an actual mission to Jupiter's icy moon Europa — one of the the solar system's best candidates for hosting alien life. » 3/05/14 6:20am Wednesday 6:20am
We have yet to discover any signs of an extraterrestrial civilization — a prospect that could quite literally change overnight. Should that happen, our sense of ourselves and our place in the cosmos would forever be shaken. It could even change the course of human history. Or would it? » 2/14/14 8:10am 2/14/14 8:10am
We think we live in the age most obsessed with the discovery alien life. In fact we missed that time by several hundred years. In the 1700s, astronomers thought life existed everywhere - including the sun. » 12/20/13 12:30pm 12/20/13 12:30pm
Scientists say that we should be on the lookout for purple planets
Billions of years ago, when microbial life first emerged on Earth, our planet would have appeared purple from space. Armed with this knowledge, scientists now say we should be on the lookout for exoplanets tinged in a similar purple hue — a possible sign of extraterrestrial life. » 11/13/13 7:20am 11/13/13 7:20am
Great news in the search for planets that could hold life. New research suggests the search for habitable worlds should look to dim red dwarf stars, which may hold billions of chances for life — some of them in our own galactic neighborhood. » 3/29/12 11:00am 3/29/12 11:00am
It looks like we're nearing the endgame in the hunt for the Higgs boson, the missing elementary particle of the Standard Model. Its discovery will send shockwaves through the physics community and likely capture the public imagination. » 3/28/12 5:44pm 3/28/12 5:44pm
There's no surefire way to find evidence of alien civilizations — indeed, they're basically all long shots — but a new method could reveal the existence of aliens just like us. And we've almost got the technology needed to do it. » 11/08/11 3:00pm 11/08/11 3:00pm
By the 1700s, there could no longer be any doubt. Earth was just one of many worlds orbiting the Sun, which forced scientists and theologians alike to ponder a tricky question. Would God really have bothered to create empty worlds? » 6/30/11 2:33pm 6/30/11 2:33pm
The Moon is ridiculously big relative to the size of Earth, and this was thought to be a cosmic rarity. Now it looks like rocky planets with huge moons are actually extremely common, which might help us find alien life. » 6/07/11 12:36pm 6/07/11 12:36pm

The Indianapolis man told police Thursday night that the girl wanted to meet him for sex, and he picked her up about 2 p.m. According to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report, the two drove to Downtown Indianapolis, where they were supposed to have a party at the teen's friend's house.
But the house was abandoned, and the teen told the man to wait in the car. Moments later, he was being punched, kicked and threatened with a gun by two males, reports the Indy Star.
The four robbers then took the man's car, a 2013 Lexus, and went on a shopping spree using his credit cards. Three other male teenagers held the victim against his will until the others came back several hours later, the report said.
They returned his car to him and told him to leave. The man then went home to tell his wife he'd been robbed.

only if they seize the Form 4473's from gun dealers(as in Red Dawn) will they know if you've got guns.
Gun dealers should have their 4473s wired for fast destruction if the FEDGOV tries to seize them for gun confiscation or registration.

January 2014 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on February 15, 2014 - 4:38pm

Shambling Towards Affordability: San Diego Housing Overpriced (But is it a Bubble?)Submitted by Rich Toscano on February 2, 2014 - 10:54am
I must admit, I considered dispensing with the "Shambling Towards
Affordability" title for these valuation updates, but in the end I
decided that tradition must be maintained. Anyway, other than
the fact that the housing market is neither "shambling" nor moving
"towards affordability," it's a perfect fit.
One thing I did change was to combine my two previous valuation indicators, home-prices-to-incomes and home-prices-to-rents, into a single metric. I thought this would make it simpler to get a single big-picture view on home valuations, and it makes the chart maintenance a little easier on me as well. The indicator is constructed simply by dividing the Case-Shiller San Diego home price index by an equally weighted average of San Diego rents and per capita incomes, and normalizing the whole deal so that January 2000 equals a value of 100 (just like the CS index). OK, enough background... let's have a look: (category: )
December 2013 Data Rodeo and Year-End StatsSubmitted by Rich Toscano on January 19, 2014 - 5:41pm
Hi all - here are some year-over-year stats showing how what
the market did for the year 2013...
(category: )
November 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on December 29, 2013 - 7:24pm
Hello there... the usual roundup of housing charts can be found
below. Prices have declined a bit in recent months, in a
somewhat more noticeable manner than the usual year-end lull -- but
considering the magnitude of the early-2013 price increase and the
spike in rates midway through the year, this is perhaps
understandable. Months of inventory have increased back to the
levels that prevailed for most of 2012; this is a big change in
percent terms but supply still remains scarce, historically
I hope everyone has a fantastic 2014! (category: )
September-October 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on November 23, 2013 - 3:24pm
Folks, sorry this has taken me so long. When urbanrealtor starts offering to buy me booze just to get the monthly charts up, I know I've been a huge slacker even by my own lofty standards of indolence. So without further delay, let's do this. Starting with the median price/square foot, we see that the rapid price apprecation we've seen all year finally took a breather over the past couple months, with prices by this measure flattening in September and then falling in October. (category: )
August 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on September 15, 2013 - 5:26pm
As I mentioned last in last month's rodeo, the full effect (whatever
that may be) of the recent rate increase won't show up until the
September data. Thus, the August data presented below is kind
of a transitional phase... higher rates will have affected some of
these sales but not all.
With that said, home prices continued to climb: (category: )

Monthly Payment Ratios, May 2013: Homes May Not Be Cheap, But Mortgages Sure AreSubmitted by Rich Toscano on May 24, 2013 - 9:48am
I recently updated the price-to-income and price-to rent-ratios for San Diego single family homes. I think these are the best metrics to determine whether homes are overpriced or underpriced based on their fundamental economic underpinnings. It's also interesting to look at the ratio of monthly payments to incomes rents, but for a different reason. I'll get into this in a moment, but first let's check out the graphs: (category: )
April 2013 Data Rodeo: Rock-Bottom Inventory and Rising Prices, AgainSubmitted by Rich Toscano on May 16, 2013 - 4:38pm
April saw a continuation of what we saw in March: fairly strong demand, ridiculously constrained supply, and rising prices. Starting with the latter, the median price per square foot for single family homes rose 2.6% last month. That makes for a year-over-year increase of 19.5%! The condo price/sqft was actually down for the month, but that doesn't mean much considering last month's moonshot. I tend to ignore the condo series due to its volatility, but for what it's worth, the median condo price/sqft is up 26.9% since last year, and the detached/condo aggregate figure is up 21.3%. (category: )
March Data Rodeo -- Housing Market Smoking HotSubmitted by Rich Toscano on April 21, 2013 - 7:06pm
Sorry if the title sounds hyperbolic, but... wow, it's true. As of March, the market was blazing (to continue with the heat-related metaphors). Let's start with this graph of the median price per square foot since the 2009 trough: (category: )
February 2013 Resale Data Rodeo (Graphs Only)Submitted by Rich Toscano on March 23, 2013 - 5:19pm
(category: )
January 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on February 18, 2013 - 5:18pm
Home prices pulled back in January, despite increasingly tight
inventory and robust sales. Supply and demand will be
discussed later; first, some graphs on prices.
The median price per square foot fell on a month-to-month basis by .9% for detached homes, 6.4% for condos, and 2.3% in aggregate. The graph below shows that such huge moves occur somewhat routinely for condos, so as always, it makes more sense to pay attention to the detached home line in blue. (category: )
December 2012 Resale Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on January 21, 2013 - 7:06pm
The median price per square foot rose again last month. Here
are the stats...

November 2012 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on December 16, 2012 - 6:03pm
Alright, let's take a look at the resale data for November...
Our old friend the median condo price per square foot continued its volatile ways, up 7.4% for the month! Though that's after getting spanked the prior month. That would be the volatility, which is why I prefer the much more reliable detached home median price per square foot, which was actually flat for the month. Here's a look since the March 2009 trough. Note that both series are now very close to their prior post-crash highs during the 2010 stimulus-fest. (category: )

Passion Points: Food/Wine
Culinary Tokyo: Restaurants Not To Miss Text Size A A A
Born in Japan and raised in the United States, Yukari Pratt Sakamoto, the author of the soon-to-be-released Food Sake Tokyo (Little Bookroom, $29.95), is a true Tokyo food insider. Here, she shares her favorite restaurants, bars and gourmet shops in the Japanese capital.
What are some Tokyo restaurants you would recommend for the following types of meals?
A traditional Japanese dining experience: Tofuya Ukai, one of the most unique dining experiences in the city. It specializes in tofu and soy products, but also serves seafood and meat. The menu is kaiseki style with several courses. For an authentic local experience, I would recommend Yamariki. And if you're looking for a high-end dining experience with a big-name chef, there's Nihonbashi Yukari with Iron Chef 2002 winner, Kimio Nonaga.
What are some restaurants you would suggest for families traveling with kids and why?
Tofuya Ukai is nice, as each group gets their own private dining room. Ivan Ramen is a child-friendly ramen shop run by a native of Long Island, Ivan Orkin. And also try going to a kaitenzushi shop, the sushi shops with a conveyor belt. These are made for families. A popular shop is Magurobito (Roppongi; 81-3-3405-5466) that does a very nice job with good seafood. Ask for any "shun" or seasonal seafood that may be off the menu. Another very good option for children are restaurant floors located in department stores. Here you will find a variety of restaurants (sushi, tempura, tonkatsu, etc.) and these shops are accustomed to families.
What are the types of food not to miss trying while in Tokyo?
Seafood-based food like sushi, tempura, and unagi (eel). Noodles like soba and ramen. And of course, kaiseki (Nihonbashi Yukari is one of my favorites). Also, the wagashi (traditional Japanese confectionaries) should be experienced. Good stores for wagashi include Toraya or Kano Shojuan. Hormone ryori (innards) are very popular at the moment. Try Saiseisakaba or Yamariki. An ideal eating trip to Tokyo would be to visit different shops that specialize in one type of food. Birdland (Akasaka; 81-3-3583-3546; www.birdland-tokyo.jp) for yakitori, Kondo (Ginza; 83-3-5568-0923) for tempura, Kyubey (Ginza; 81-3-3571-6523; www.kyubey.jp) for sushi, Tamai (Nihonbashi; 81-3-3272-3227) for anago (eel), sukiyaki (hot pot), soba, ramen, etc.
What are some tips to navigate the incredible food floors in the department stores in Tokyo, and which ones would you recommend for a first-time visitor?
There is usually a concierge on the first floor by the main entrance of each department store. Inquire if there is any special food events taking place, these are often on an event floor. Often there are maps of the food floors, these are good as some are so big you can get lost. The best one to visit is Isetan (Shinjuku; 81-3-3352-0909; www.isetan.co.jp) in Shinjuku.
What are some of your favorite Tokyo bars (both classics and new ones)?
The hotel bars are great. Park Hyatt Tokyo's New York Bar & Grill
What are the main culinary items visitors should buy in Tokyo?
Knives at Kiya (Chuo-Ku; 81-3-3241-0110; www.kiya-himono.co.jp) in Nihonbashi. Lacquer at Kuroeya (Chuo-Ku; 81-3-3272-0948; www.kuroeya.com) in Nihonbashi.
If a traveler only has one day and night in Tokyo, which are the places you would suggest to get a good taste of the city (lunch, dinner, drinks)?
Have lunch at Kyubey Sushi in Ginza; dinner at Nihonbashi Yukari, and finish your night with drinks at the Park Hyatt's New York Bar & Grill in Shinjuku.
What are some of your favorite spots in the city that are not food-related?
Asakusa, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Monzennakacho. A very short trip out of the city, but still a part of Tokyo is Mount Takao.
