Learn more.TheStreetRatings.com Analysis:TheStreet Quant Ratings rates LyondellBasell Industries as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 49.75% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, LYB should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES NV has improved earnings per share by 20.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES NV increased its bottom line by earning $4.97 versus $4.25 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($6.13 versus $4.97).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Chemicals industry average. The net income increased by 20.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $770.00 million to $929.00 million.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.37, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.44, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. When compared to other companies in the Chemicals industry and the overall market, LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES NV's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.

Does a program try to build character in recipients?
Charities a century ago realized that two persons in exactly the same material circumstances, but with different values, need different treatment: One might benefit most from some material help and a pat on the back, the other might need spiritual challenge and a push. Those who were orphaned, elderly, or disabled received aid; jobless adults who were "able and willing to work" received help in job-finding; "those who prefer to live on alms" and those of "confirmed intemperance" were not entitled to material assistance. "Work tests" helped both in sorting and in providing relief with dignity. When an able-bodied man came to a homeless shelter, he often was asked to chop wood for two hours or to whitewash a building; in that way he could provide part of his own support and also help those unable to chop. A needy woman generally was given a seat in the "sewing room" (often near a child care room) and asked to work on garments that would be donated to the helpless poor or sent through the Red Cross to families suffering from the effects of hurricanes or tornadoes. The work test, along with teaching good habits and keeping away those who did not really need help, also enabled charities to teach the lesson that those who were being helped could help others. Today, don't we need to stop talking about "the poor" in abstraction and start distinguishing once again between those who truly yearn for help and those who just want an enabler? Programs have the chance to succeed only when categories are established and firmly maintained so that character is built in recipients of aid. Work tests can help: Why shouldn't some homeless men clean up streets and parks and remove graffiti? Now, as thousands of crack babies born addicted to cocaine and often deserted by mothers who care only for the next high, languish in hospitals under bright lights and with almost no human contact, why shouldn't homeless women (some are psychotic or sick, but others are healthy and gentle) be assigned to hold a baby for an hour in exchange for food and shelter? |

Image Description, by David Paull
1) the bright areas of the source image are actually visible ~20%. Source image can be 3d realtime rendered, or 2d image. 2) I have the saturation high so many of the characters are the @.
March 13, 2002, 02:18 PM
Nice. Although you are selecting the characters by shape and intensity you are still blending it with the original picture? hdmx, fp
March 13, 2002, 02:20 PM
ahhhh... cool
March 13, 2002, 02:22 PM
Hi David, I've had an order for your book since October and I'm counting the days until I actually get my hands on it. 8) Nice to see the kind of flexibility you designed for the tools. I'm sure that kind of fore-thought bodes well for the rest of the software. Looking forward to reading your book. Michael

Isn't it illegal to reverse engineer Quake3 and Unreal Tournament?
March 13, 2002, 02:32 PM
First i want to say that the book sounds really cool. I have also always liked the ascii renders, looks good. Good job. "I am paid to "reverse engineer" games like Quake3, and UnrealTournament so they can be modified to run on custom stereovision hardware." Are you sure your not breaking the quake 3 Limited Use Software Licence Agreement by doing this?

aren't non-uniformly spaced fonts a bitch? ;)
Fantastic image! Where is it coming from?
March 13, 2002, 03:02 PM
Hm. I assume that the picture itself has little to do with the book? As for reverse engineering, it's not illegal to reverse engineer anything, whatever licenses say. It's especially not illegal to reverse engineer something in order to improve interoperability. Now then, under DMCA in the states it's practically illegal to breathe. Some say that DMCA itself is an illegal law.

this image is sick!!! you are a sick person! thanks for the book tips ;)
March 13, 2002, 03:32 PM
Spooky picture, the book sounds cool. I think I will buy it. What is the DMCA?
March 13, 2002, 03:48 PM
">>What is the DMCA?" An "evil update" to copyright laws :D. Google it up and you'll find tons of material both for and against it.
March 13, 2002, 04:18 PM
Hi, Can I ask what the focus of your book is? Do you focus on the system you have developed or on the actual techniques used in creating a character animation system (like using morph targets for bodyparts with skeletal animation)? I only ask because I will shortly be working on a character animation system and would like a "pure" reference of techniques used rather than a specific implementation guide to them. Also, do you include a, now unfortuneately standard, "how to use matricesquarternionsvectorsshoelaces" section? Personally I hope not. Mike.
March 13, 2002, 04:52 PM
That's one heck of a spooky picture =D Looks like it'll jump out and stab me. I been watching to much chuky crap =) Anywho, best of luck with the new book. Looks interesting.
March 13, 2002, 04:56 PM
Did you mean this? N N EEEEE EEEEE TTTTT NN N E E T N N N EEE EEE T N NN E E T N N EEEEE EEEEE T
March 13, 2002, 05:03 PM
AWSOME... The image is incredable! As for the book, I too have been antisipating it. I can't wait to use the rendering engine on my next project. I am sure that the book will do great! Thanks!
March 13, 2002, 05:48 PM
I own this book, and find it to not be very comprehensive. The title of the book is a bit of a misnomer -- there's very little in it about actualy DYNAMIC animation, in the realtime sense of the word. It talks a little about skinning, but there is nothing about IK, FK, etc.. Interpolating keyframes is the sole focus, which in my mind is more of a static technique than dynamic. This book is probably ok if you just want to learn about keyframed skinned animation. A little disappointing coming from Charles River.
March 13, 2002, 05:56 PM
I had this book on my wish list for a long time... As well as this one: Realtime 3d Character Animation With Visual C++ by Nik Lever... Has somebody read this one? Can someone compare them? Thanks! - Rolando
March 13, 2002, 06:41 PM
I mean the character... not the way of rendering the image. Someone has to model this stuff, No?
March 13, 2002, 07:57 PM
Again, learn to read :). He says right in the description that the original picture comes from the cover of Stephen King's book "Desperation".
March 13, 2002, 08:58 PM
I also own the book, and I agree that it isnt "dynamic animation" It is Keyframed animation. The code on the CD also has some crash bugs, but the downloadable update fixes all of them. Anyway, the books engine code is a dream come true. I no longer have to mess with the differences between OpenGL, and DirectX, SWEET. goodbye
March 14, 2002, 04:26 AM
To sum it up, the entertainment industries latest attempts at shotting themselves in the foot and making sure to take a few of our toes with 'em.
March 14, 2002, 05:27 AM
I agree with hdmx in that this isn't so much ASCII rendered as ASCII overlayed. It would be nice to see the ASCII on it's own, without the source image in the background. That should look pretty cool in realtime. I think I remember someone writing a b&w ASCII renderer for Quake a while back.
March 14, 2002, 06:27 AM
Does the book speak about using .dll's in a 3D engine or about dynamic character animation ? You (and the book's web page on tanzanite) seem to attach more importance to the .dll subject than to the character animation.
March 14, 2002, 06:44 AM
I agree too.. I really dislike it when authors hype up their books on something that its not. Its a run-of-the-mill book that in my opinion is not worth buying if your slighly knowledgable. It misses the juicy topics that most people want to know about and talks about things that quite frankly can be found easily elsewhere. The code might tempt people but with all the opensource stuff about I really doubt it. I'm longing to see a book that really is worth its salt like the gems books for example ;-)
March 14, 2002, 09:27 AM
the ALAMBIK plugin has recently implemented ASCII rendering too, check it out @ http://www.alambik.com http://www.the-demo.com direct link to an exemple of ascii rendering ( the .tvs is 2kb big ) http://www.the-demo.com/tvls.tvl?tv=samples/ComputerAddicts/DemoStyle/OldSchool/AsciiCube/AsciiCube.tvs

Rate-Time Spreadsheet
Rate-Time Spreadsheet (RTS) To Estimate Range of Your Reserves
This Excel spreadsheet helps you to calculate range of production forecast using seven different methods by analyzing gas or oil production (i.e. rate-time) data.
This tool is available for Excel 2003 and 2007 versions. For those who use newer versions of Excel (2010 and later versions) can use the 2007 version. The authors of this tool provide user guide on how use this tool (see download links at the bottom of this page). They also provide examples using tight gas well. For more details, please read SPE papers 116731, 119897, 132352 from OnePetro website.
Calculate Gas Properties
Web-based & Excel Tools To Calculate Dry Gas Properties
It is essential for Petroleum Engineers to make various calculations in order to arrive at certain important figures on dry gas properties when they are engaged in working on their projects. Since these are quite time consuming calculations the presence of a web-based tool that does the calculations when their input figures are entered is of immense benefit for them. What you get in Excel format in this webpage is exactly that. It is a tool that could help them calculate various figures they need. When it comes to dry gas properties you may need inputs such as gas gravity, mole percent of CO2 and H2S, bottom hole pressure and temperature.
Gas Compressibility Factor
Web-based Tool To Calculate Gas Compressibility Factor
The purpose of writing the VBA excel function is to calculate the gas compressibility factor (Z) through JavaScript. This Excel function also aims to be a useful online website tool that can be used by anybody to calculate gas compressibility factor through our website.
About Gas Compressibility Factor
This is a helpful thermodynamic property in modifying the ideal gas law, taking to account the real gas behavior. The gas compressibility factor is a measure of the amount of thermodynamic properties in real gases that deviate from the amount that is expected from ideal gases. The compressibility factor can be considered as the ratio of the volume of real gas to the volume predicted from ideal gas given that the pressure and temperature are similar to that of the volume.
Cumulative Probability Chart
Cumulative Probability Plot (up to 5 series)
This online tool helps you to create cumulative probability chart from your data. To do this, sort your data in ascending order. Next, calculate percentile rank from your data. The smallest number in your data has the smallest percentile. Then plot your sorted data versus percentile rank.
Calculate Daily Step Rate from Production Volume
Imagine you have producing gas wells with small amount of liquid production oil or water. Your liquid productions are not producing continuously (intermittent). Your liquid productions are not tied in directly to sales line. Or your wells are located far away from central facilities. Consequently, liquid productions need to be hauled by truck every certain day or every week. As a result, your production data is not in daily rate but in volume collected from certain day.
Modified Hyperbolic Decline Curve (Updated)
Modified Hyperbolic Decline Curve Formula
Extrapolation of hyperbolic declines over long periods of time frequently results in unrealistically high reserves. To avoid this problem, it has been suggested (Robertson) that at some point in time, the hyperbolic decline be converted into an exponential decline.(1)
Horizontal Well Landing Position
Visualize Horizontal Well Landing Position Easily
This is an extended work from the previous tool called Horizontal Toe Direction posted in this website earlier. The objective of this tool is to visualize horizontal well landing position within target zone using horizontal well deviation survey and top and bottom formation data points. Once we plot these survey and tops formation data, we can determine the following information:

Announcing the new Spanish-language translation of What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition, America's pregnancy bible with over 16 million copies in print. Originally published as Que se Puede Esperar Cuando Se Esta Esperando, this new edition is a livelier, less formal, altogether more user-friendly Spanish-language version. Approximately 1 million Hispanic-American women give birth each year. This is a book for the mother-to-be who either doesn't speak English or doesn't feel comfortable with her English; for the doctor who is having trouble communicating with a patient; for the expectant parents at a stressful time when what's most familiar—their first language—is most welcome. The book will be the book to turn to for the broad range of Spanish-speaking Americans in the United States—be they Puerto Ricans in the Northeast, Cuban-Americans in Florida, Mexican-Americans on the west coast, Dominicans, and Spanish-speaking Americans of Spanish, and Central and South American descent.

Rhino Rugby Player of the Week: Seamus Kelly |
Off The Field - Awards | ||
Cal went 4-0 in the Dennis Storer Classic at UCLA over the weekend, but the guy we're recognizing as the Rhino Rugby Player of the Week played in just one of those matches – Seamus Kelly. He was rested on day one of the tournament, but made a big impact in the weekend's marquee game, No. 3 Cal's 29-7 win over No. 13 UCLA. Kelly is a three-time All American in his fourth year at Cal. He was guarded in answering whether or not he'll be back at Cal for a fifth season in 2013/2014 and admitted that this season could be his last in Golden Bear uniform. If it is, it was started impressively, as he scored two tries and set up a third in the 20-minute first half. The first try came shortly after a set piece, where Kelly bowled over one would-be tackler and stiff-armed another. The second was a deft pick-and-go finishing off a long line break from teammate Jake Anderson. "We want to play a quick type of rugby, and once we break the line there's no need to slow it down there," said Kelly. "If it's on, it's on, and within our systems we have the opportunity to play that style of game. I noticed the corner, there and I'm never going to pass up the opportunity for a try." Unlike last year, Cal's 15s team has a couple of championships to play for this spring. The Bears have their sights set on winning the first PAC and Varsity Cup championships ever. The PAC is a rugby league formed along the same lines of the NCAA's Pac-12 Conference, and the Varsity Cup is a vanguard postseason competition. If the Bears are going to bring those trophies home, Kelly will likely have to play an integral role in the effort. "We're really looking to forward to the Varsity Cup. I think it will be a great event. We have a long ways to go, I think, until we'll be able to effectively compete in that, but yeah it's definitely something I'm really looking forward to," said Kelly. "I think [the PAC Conference] is great for recognition, for not only us on our campus, but for all the PAC campuses for rugby. I think it gives the sport legitimacy out here, and it builds those rivalries, and we start getting credit from the [PAC-12] Conference – we were on the website for 7s, and we build on that. I think it's a really good relationship to have." |

Quick Index Contents Message from the Board Environmental Stewardship Pollution Reduction Environmental Protection Reportable Events Toxics Release Inventory Research & Technology Energy Efficiency A Look to the Future
Just the facts about TVAs reportable events and the self-auditing program that helps keep them in decline By their very nature, all reportable environmental events (REEs)occurrences that violate regulatory requirements and trigger notification to or enforcement action by a regulatory agencyare important and taken seriously. An REE may be a spill or other accidental release, a permit exceedance, or a paperwork-related issue. In 1999 TVA experienced 48 REEs, of which seven had the greatest environmental impact. At two TVA hydropower plants, accidental discharges of lubricating oil from turbine units led to spills into the Tennessee River. A closed valve at one facility caused pressure to rise until a seal ruptured and began releasing oil. Some oil was seen downstream, but TVA workers prevented the release of 1,200 gallons of oil by shutting down the turbine, installing headgates and tailgates, and deploying a containment boom below the dam to recover most of the oil. Improved maintenance procedures have been implemented to ensure that valve settings are correct and prevent overpressurization. At another plant, the failure of a compression fitting caused an oil-line leak and some 800 gallons of lubrication oil spilled onto the powerhouse floor. The break was quickly repaired and less than a gallon of oil actually reached the river. The damaged fitting and potentially faulty fittings on three other turbines were replaced with a welded design that greatly reduces the likelihood of failure. Ash sluice-line breaks created problems at three of TVAs fossil plants. When lines carrying an ash-and-water mix ruptured, discharges occurred at unpermitted points instead of in the plants appropriate ash ponds. In each instance, the piping was repaired; then TVA instituted preventive maintenance procedures and periodic inspections to help avoid future ruptures. It also conducted employee training to help prevent unpermitted discharges. In TVAs transmission operations, a failure to remove trees and treetops felled during routine right-of-way maintenance caused blockage in a nearby stream. The access road cut to the site was not seeded, and erosion became an issue as well. TVA responded with appropriate site-remediation measures and personnel training. During an environmental audit at one of the agencys hydro facilities, workers noticed oil leaking from one of three plastic-wrapped transformers in the powerhouse loading bay. The transformers had been removed from service and were in temporary storage there, awaiting disposal at an EPA-approved facility. A total of one gallon of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) oil, which is used as insulation in older transformers, had leaked from a broken seal. The oil was cleaned up according to EPA spill guidelines, and all waste materials were properly disposed of. TVA is actively working to decrease the number and severity of reportable environmental events like these. By improving its processes and programs and expanding its training, it has achieved a 59 percent reduction in reportable events since 1995.

[T]here are prohibitions legislatively on the transfer of some of the prisoners that are there into some part of this country, some would be tried in federal courts as we've seen done in the past, some would be tried in military commissions, likely spending the rest of their lives in a maximum security prison that nobody, including terrorists, have ever escaped from and some regrettably will have to be indefinitely detained, I say regrettably not because it's a bad thing necessarily for them in terms of the fact that they're very dangerous people and we have to make sure that even if we can't prosecute them, we're not putting them back out on the battlefield.
The administration has run into several hurdles in closing the prison, including strong opposition from members of Congress. Earlier this month, the US House of Representatives voted 212-206 in favor [JURIST report] of a defense spending bill [HR 3082 materials] including a provision preventing Guantanamo detainees from being transferred to the US for trial. The legislation would block Khalid Sheikh Mohammed [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] and the other accused 9/11 conspirators from being tried in a US civilian court, as intended [JURIST report] by US Attorney General Eric Holder. In May, the US House Armed Services Committee [official website] approved legislation [JURIST report] prohibiting the modification or construction of a facility in the US to hold detainees currently held at Guantanamo. The number of detainees at Guantanamo has been significantly reduced as the administration continues to transfer detainees to a growing list of countries including Germany, Italy, Spain, Maldives, Georgia, Albania, Latvia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Somaliland, Palau, Belgium, Afghanistan and Bermuda [JURIST reports].

WASHINGTON, DC (CNN) - The U.S. is expelling three Venezuelan diplomats.
A State Department spokeswoman says the move is the U.S.'s answer to Venezuela's expulsion of three U.S. diplomats.
"In response to the Venezuelan government's decision to declare three foreign service officials persona non grata, we on February 17, in accordance with Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the State Department has declared three officials from the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, D.C. persona non grata as well. They have been allowed 48 hours to leave the United States," said Jen Psaki.
Venezuela expelled the U.S. diplomats earlier this month in connection with accusations that the U.S. is behind anti-government protests in the South American country.
The U.S. has denied the allegations.
Venezuelan Embassy First Secretary Ignacio Luis Cajal Avalos, First Secretary Victor Manuel Pisani Azpurua, and Second Secretary Marcos Jose Garcia Figueredo were declared persona non grata. They have 48 hours to leave the United States.

Bones Review: "The Finder"
by Chandel Charles at .This week's episode of Bones treated us to a new cast of quirky characters, serving as a pilot for a spinoff show aptly titled, "The Finder."
While I was expecting nothing less than a B&B minimized episode, Walter, Leo and Ike stepped up to the challenge of integrating into a mix of already established characters without stepping on any toes.
While Booth's vehemence towards Walter isn't resolved until the end of the episode, their initial sparring was rather disconcerting. I do give them credit, however, for giving Walter an interesting introduction, as we first find this new character contemplating the philosophical distinction between ninjas and samurais.
I appreciate Leo's textbook-like reference to the law on multiple occasions throughout the episode, as well as his reference to a religion which apparently values gifts like those Walter possesses. Of Ike, I have to say that her accent was slightly distracting and often hard for me to understand, and her particular place within the group remained largely unresolved for me, except that she's a pilot doubling as a bartender.
Which brings me to my next point: do they really work/hang out at a bar with no customers? How do they financially support their business, or do they rely solely on FBI consultant fees? Technical concerns, but certainly ones that could be resolved if "The Finder" does, in fact, find a home of its own in primetime.I also wondered about Walter's sudden enchantment with Brittany Stevenson. He goes to investigate her, ends up kissing her, and then ends up on a hunt for her killer as if they had been star-crossed lovers. I didn't particularly agree with how that storyline was delved into without any pretext, yet I suppose for a pilot truncated plots are par for the course.
If there was one thing I was hoping they would have gone left out of this episode was Walter's stripping down to investigate the dead man's apartment. I recognize that this is perhaps some kind of insight into his "process," but I certainly could have done without the emphasis on the time he spent on the commode. It was sufficiently awkward and when he flushed on the phone with Brennan I about died.
I also don't understand how any of the things he did in the house demonstrated his ability to find things. He surmised depression, torture and a terminal illness by parading around in boxers. I don't think I get the connection.
What I'm still having trouble grasping is what the point of this episode actually was. With all the introductions and personality quirks I can't even remember what the real importance of the original set of remains really was. Body, treasure map, latitude and longitude and Leo and Ike dropping off the murderous curator in a crate; that's all I remember related to the case.
What I do distinctly remember is Walter's recovery of Brennan's Seventh Grade Science Fair medal, and the newspaper clipping featuring a picture of her and her mother. It was a nice moment for Brennan, and it was obvious that Walter was sweet on Brennan a little bit. Go figure he would be attracted to someone Booth was also attracted to! Also, it was the first time in a long time we've seen Brennan genuinely emotive for quite a while. It was brief, yet refreshing.
Same goes for Booth, whose story about skipping off base to be at Parker's birth was a nice insight not only into his relationship with Walter, but also with his son. Booth has always been a family man, but it's always nice to discover another story. It reminds us that even while we're meeting new characters, there's still so much to learn about the ones we've grown to love over the course of six seasons.
Also, who enjoyed the print of Hart Hanson on Walter's oxygen tank just before the dive? If you missed it, go back and watch again. If you're on Twitter and follow Hanson, you'll know it when you see it.
All in all, I might take a chance on "The Finder," but I certainly missed the Jeffersonian team.
So, was the spinoff-pilot a success, or were you upset that B&B and the Jeffersonian team took a little break this week? Would you watch "The Finder" if he had his own show?

I loved the Bones episode "The Finder" and was hoping for a spin-off. I think all of the character quirks mentioned in the long review above will be resolved or explained now that we have a series. I personally liked the Ike character and I hope they keep the original 3 together. I am looking forward to the first episode of the series airing tonight. Good Luck to the show. I hope it does well.
I really enjoyed this episode and the new characters were intresting to say the least.
One thing TPTB need to do is drop Saffron's cockney accent when is it that American think all British people are either upper class posh and talk through their noses or all have cockney accent which every time she opened her mouth I was cringing wishing she would speak in her normal British accent or her Character just shutting up totally.
Other than that it was a great episode and excellent pilot I hope they do continue with the spinoff.
I liked The Finder episode. I hear it's going to be it's own show, and I like the concept. Granted I don't like that they sort of used Bones to promote the show I think the tie-in was pretty clever, I just wished it was more half and half of each then it was.
So overall, I liked it.
I must say that if it were a normal pilot I would've enjoyed just as much as I did. This weird team fits perfectly with the dynamics of Bones' characters: funny, incredibly smart, with a unique way of taking personal problems into work, yet with their mind on the job no matter what. Let'em come and, hopefully, we'll have cross-overs in the future (with the spotlight on B&B)
Waste of time for me. The acting was bad and the writing
poor. Not funny and just plain insulting to the charterer
of Brennan.
Bones was once a great show. Now it is a shadow of its former
self. The Locator/Finder should be considered for SCIFY
not FOX.
I will not bother watching this crap

Boeing 787 Pilot Report
UPDATE May 8 - The NTSB says the procurement request for computed tomography (CT) scans of 787 lithium-ion battery cells published May 3 was not meant to signal an acceleration of its efforts to find the root cause of 787 battery problems from January. Rather, the agency says document contained "contracting language" meant to quickly secure funding for the work. The Board is correcting the language in the request, and says there is no new information on the investigation - John Croft
The NTSB has issued an "urgent" procurement request to have a Maryland company perform computed tomography (CT) scans starting May 6 on as many as 48 Boeing 787 lithium-ion battery cells.
The work signals a rush for the Board to find a root cause for the battery issues that grounded the fleet as airlines begin revenue service with modified 787s this month and into June. "[The tests] must also be completed within the shortest timeframe possible to provide the fastest possible receipt of this information to avoid potential future accidents involving this type of aircraft battery," says the NTSB in a "sources sought" notice published on May 3. "Since the FAA has recently approved a plan intended to result in the Boeing 787 being approved for a return to service, the information from these tests (and the CT scans required to support these tests) is needed as soon as possible," says the NTSB. The work is expected to take one week, with a final report issued no later than 10 days thereafter. The request comes two weeks after the FAA on April 19 approved Boeing's fix for the battery problems that grounded the 50-aircraft fleet in January following two battery incidents, one on the ground and one in the air. At issue are as of yet unexplained thermal runaways that began in one or more cells in the APU battery and spread to adjacent cells. Boeing's fix, which technicians are now installing on the fleet, includes batteries with more insulation between cells and a 1/8th-in.-thick stainless steel battery enclosure with a vent line assembly to dump smoke overboard if a thermal runaway in one cell does occur. Based on the urgent procurement, the NTSB remains concerned that the root cause of the problem has not been identified, a stance the Board took during a two-day investigative hearing on April 23 and 24 regarding the troubled path to certification for the battery. In the sources sought notification, the NTSB says it is planning to "conduct teardown examinations as soon as possible" of several aircraft batteries similar to the "one involved in an aircraft incident" as part of its Boston investigation. Highlighting the continued concern in the aviation industry about lithium-ion battery technology, the NTSB mandated that the contract be issued to a local company, as the cells cannot be shipped via air cargo.

(AP) - The presidential race is shaping up as a battle between Republican calls for more government austerity and Democratic appeals for more spending to promote jobs and growth with tax hikes on high-income earners. It mirrors a fight raging in Europe.
Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has embraced a House-passed Republican budget blueprint outlining deep government spending cuts, particularly in social programs. He also advocates lower tax rates while promising increases in Pentagon spending — meaning the rest of the government would have to shrink even more.
Eight leaders from wealthy democracies opened the door to more government spending to ease Europe's debt crisis at a weekend meeting at Camp David, Md. It was a backlash to widely unpopular austerity measures pushed principally by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
President Barack Obama welcomed the move, citing "an emerging consensus that more must be done to promote growth and job creation right now." That's in line with Obama's contention that tough austerity measures should await a stronger economy.
But there's clearly no such consensus in American politics.
Romney fed the austerity debate as he campaigned last week in front of a whirring national-debt clock. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., both declared Sunday that when Congress is asked to raise the nation's borrowing cap after the election, they'll insist on spending cuts to offset the increase.
That raised the prospect of another knock-down battle like the one last August that led to the first-ever downgrade of America's credit rating.
Romney, writing in Sunday's Chicago Tribune, accused Obama of overseeing looming defense cuts he said could undermine NATO's mission and it into "an alliance in name only."
Obama presided Monday over NATO's Chicago summit and was to later address high school seniors in Joplin, Mo. Romney was attending fundraisers in New York.

Lynx for walking
Verfasst von Charles (nicht überprüft) am Mi, 11/09/2013 - 16:19.
Could you elaborate on your answer please?
I will be buying my first pair of crampons. I use the crampons more for walking, but I plan on learning/trying ice climbing and perhaps doing a very high summit in a few years. I very much like the versatility of Lynx's hybrid/step-in. It is more expensive, but comes with the pouch and could be the only pair of crampons I would need. Could you explain why I would be better off with vasak/irvis for walking and easier routes. You can go as technical as you want, I would like to understand.
Thank you

Sell High on These Young Guys
Fantasy baseball owners can easily fall in love with young players. They normally come cheap on draft day and are full of potential. Few, but some, actually live up to that potential in their first season or two. Most, however, go through the normal struggles of a young ballplayer getting their first taste of the big leagues. Here are three young players that have seen early season success, but make for a great sell high.
Austin Jakson .328/.381/.466, 3 SB
Jackson has more than pleased owners who selected him toward the end of their 2010 drafts. However, it's time to thank Jackson for his early season contributions and sell him off to a team looking at his high AVG and stolen base potential. There are two main factors to Jackson's game that should turn his AVG south before long. First, his .328 AVG can be somewhat attributed to an insanely high .500 BABIP. Sure, he's hitting a ton of line drives, but that pace is almost certain to slow. Even Albert Pujols couldn't keep this pace for too long. Second, Jackson has struck out 20 times in 58 at-bats, good for a strikeout rate of over 30 percent. Jackson put up some high strikeout rates in his minor league days as well (high for a player not profiled as a power hitter). In the end, Jackson is probably not going to hit .300 this season and his value is probably at it's peak right now.
Ricky Romero 1.57 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 22 SO in 23 IP
This sell high is not to suggest that Romero will fall off the face of the earth soon. I actually like the changes he has made and think it will result in a little breakout season. However, the numbers he is putting up right now are Cy Young Award worthy. They are also only based on only three games. Sure, Romero has a very good chance to see an improved strikeout rate over last season and keep his ground ball rate over 50 percent, but there is no way in the world he maintains a 9.3 percent line drive rate.
As sample sizes grow and Romero mixes some bad outings in with the good, you'll have a pitcher who's ERA and WHIP are good, but not Cy Young good. The chance to sell high is now, especially after he followed up a near no-hitter with eight solid innings against the Angels.
Romero has been recently traded for closers like Heath Bell, Jose Valverde and David Aardsma. He would also be a great piece to add to a two-for-one or three-for-one to try and upgrade to a top-end bat.
Cameron Maybin .302/.362/.413, 15 R, 1 HR, 3 SB
Sometimes the hype surrounding a player's potential can be a bit misleading. For years Cameron Maybin has been touted as a potential 30/30 type future hitter, but he has done very little to support those predictions. Maybin is still young enough to take some big strides in his game, but non-keeper leagues shouldn't be looking past 2010.
Taking out of the equation his future, Maybin still hasn't shown enough with his plate discipline to keep up what he is doing right now. Maybin's .302 AVG comes with a lofty .429 BABIP. As his BABIP regresses his AVG will fall, mostly because of a continuing problem with the strikeout. In 176 at-bats last season Maybin struck out 51 times (29 percent). For his Major League career he has a 31.3 percent strikeout rate in 320 at-bats.
Simply put, until Maybin cuts down on his strikeouts he's not going to hit for much AVG at the big league level. When he was sent down to triple-A last season, he actually did cut down on the K's, but his power numbers suffered because of it.
Maybin may still find a balance between power and AVG someday, but it's not likely going to happen this year. Sell while you can.

Cool & Creamy Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe
The unlikely combination of ingredients (including jalapeno peppers and strawberry ice cream) in this cool dessert creates a wonderfully grown-up version of a classic ice cream sandwich.
- 6 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeno peppers
- 4 teaspoons butter
- 1/4 cup jalapeno pepper jelly
- 8 soft snickerdoodle cookies
- 4 scoops strawberry ice cream
- 4 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- In a small skillet, saute peppers in butter until tender. Add jelly; set aside to cool.
- Place a scoop of ice cream on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with strawberries, jalapeno mixture and remaining cookies. Wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 1 hour. Yield: 4 servings.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
