Tripwire on making games moddable: GDC Interview with PC Gamer
by Alan Wilson on Friday, April 5, 2013, under News
Following on from the Rising Storm preview on PC Gamer, John Gibson also sat down with Evan Lahti and discussed Red Orchestra 2, modding – and the upcoming Rising Storm. Go watch the full interview on PC Gamer.
Red Orchestra 2 Counterattack Map Pack Released; Free Weekend on Steam
by Alan Wilson on Thursday, April 4, 2013, under News
Now that the $35,000 Counterattack Mapping Contest for Red Orchestra 2 has concluded and helped us find the best community made maps on Steam Workshop, Tripwire Interactive has worked with the original map makers to polish them up and add them into the game as Official Custom Maps. Today we are releasing four of those maps for Red Orchestra 2 completely free – they will be automatically added to your game through Steam. And, to make sure that everyone gets a chance to try them out, we're making Red Orchestra 2 free to play for the weekend (Thu 4 Apr through Sun 7 Apr). Just head for Steam, download the game and play.
These are some of the best maps you'll see – adding some great new gameplay. All are included for free for everyone who owns the game. Don't forget there are more great community maps and content on Steam Workshop, so head on over there now! We've also got a trailer for the pack – with the content produced by the community, to show off what they enjoy! You can view it on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/63339846) or Youtube (http://youtu.be/voD9_V2oJ3w)
The first Counterattack Map Contest Pack contains the following new maps:
- Winterwald – the wintry map that won the contest outright; Germans attacking a Russian hill-top position through the trees and snow.
- Arad 2 Tanks – the classic Red Orchestra "Arad" map brought forward into Red Orchestra 2; now a warm, sunny environment for some serious tank-to-tank combat.
- Rakowice – another classic Red Orchestra map, updated for the new generation; Russians assaulting the ruins of a German-held airfield in Poland.
- Stalingrad Kessel – one of the most loved RO maps, created in the original mod, reproduced in the first Red Orchestra game and now brought forward into its latest incarnation!
And if you like the game, you won't get a better chance to buy it – it will be 85% off on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/35450/) for the weekend, as well as being part of the current Humble Weekly Bundle that runs 2 Apr – 9 Apr (https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly), where you can get RO2, along with the original Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 and the current Killing Floor Bundle – AND all three soundtracks!

Happy Thanksgiving!
While you are baking, these Rosemary Fans are a staple at my Thanksgiving table. If you need something a bit quicker to put together, try these simple, flaky biscuits. While the dough is rising, get yourself in the holiday spirit with A Christmas Miracle, a dizzyingly tall tale very true story (I swear) of heroism and Cheerios.
Were I to guess at such things, I'd bet that "How many calories are in one of Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls?" is an awfully common question in some people's mind. The rolls are very popular and look seriously decadent with that generous helping of gooey icing on top of the fluffy rolls.
The answer is, perhaps not as many as you think.
Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls recipe, however, makes a HUGE batch of cinnamon rolls. I mean, sure if you live on a ranch and have to feed hungry cowhands (which are neither cows nor hands, discuss), make them for holiday gifts, or you have a big freezer you can stuff full of them you might be able to cope with 40-50 cinnamon rolls, but what about apartment dwellers or people with an itsy-bitsy little freezer? Like a large percentage of the people I know.
Well, how about a small batch recipe?

first gear judder / jumpy/ shaky 1998 GMC Sierra 2500 HD
Most noticeable when truck is heavily loaded (full of bricks or full of wood).
Somewhat less noticeable when not loaded, or when put into 4L.
Somewhat told me there is a screw that can adjust it (he had 97 1500 manual), but I wouldn't know where to start, nor do I even get the mechanics of the judder.. perhaps plates not well aligned?
More gas seems to make it worse.
Also, when put in low gear seems to not roll/slow down even when in neutral.
Truck has 126K miles. Clutch seems OK beyond first gear.. no grinding, slippage, etc.

Each character also has their own special All-Star move to unleash, such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz, and Tails Tornado, which give them a quick way to get back into the race. Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the track and used against the opposition. The game features a variety of single-player modes, as well as local multiplayer race and battle modes via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

According to HRW's report, human rights abuses by the Zimbabwean government have persisted since the discovery of diamonds in the Marange fields.

Civil society groups such as Global Witness, Partnership Africa Canada and Green Advocates [advocacy websites], have also called for the suspension of Zimbabwe's international diamond trade due to the human rights violations [Telegraph report] allegedly committed by the Zimbabwean army against civilians and illegal workers in the Marange diamond fields.

Three Cardinals land on midseason All-NFC West team
Mike Sando, who does a stellar job of covering the NFC West for ESPN.com, has released his midseason NFC West team, and three Arizona Cardinals got the nod.
Defensive end Calais Campbell, inside linebacker Daryl Washington and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald were all named to Sando's 26-member squad.
Campbell ranks third on the Cardinals' defense with 38 total tackles, and has also registered 3.5 sacks.
Washington leads the entire division with 75 total tackles and eight sacks. In fact, Terry Bradshaw named Washington his midseason Defensive Player of the Year during Fox NFL Sunday prior to the Cardinals' game in Green Bay.
And despite much discussion that Fitzgerald has not been featured enough in Arizona's struggling offense, the nine-year veteran still leads the NFC West with 51 catches and 585 yards.
In all, the San Francisco 49ers had 13 representatives on the team, Seattle had eight and the St. Louis Rams had two.

Tad Brady comes into the cafeteria and Tom tells Bull that he fucked Tad last week. Bull makes eye contact with Tad and Tad can't ignore the lump in Bull's shorts. Tad wants to blow Bull so Tom locks the door to the cafeteria. Tad is put onto a cafeteria table and easily works off the soda and chips he had as the bottom boy for Tom and Bull.

[JURIST] Iraq has become the 186th nation to join the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) [official website] by acceding [OPCW press release] to the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention [text], the organization announced Wednesday. A spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon praised Iraq's move [press release release], saying that it showed the Iraqi government's "commitment to disarmament and non-proliferation," and adding:
The Secretary-General firmly believes that reaching universality of the Chemical Weapons Convention will significantly promote international peace and security and urges the remaining States not party to take the necessary measures to accede to the Convention as early as possible.
[JURIST] A judge on the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] on Wednesday granted habeas [opinion, PDF] to Guantanamo [JURIST news archive] detainee Mohammed El Gharani and directed his release. El Gharani, a Chadian citizen born in Saudi Arabia, was arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of ties to al Qaeda. Judge Richard Leon [official profile; JURIST news archive] ruled that the government had failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that El Gharini was an "enemy combatant." Leon wrote:
Simply stated, a mosaic of tiles bearing images this murky reveals nothing about the petitioner with sufficient clarity, either individually or collectively, that can be relied upon by this Court. Accordingly, the Court must, and will, GRANT the detainee's petition for a writ of habeas corpus and order the respondents to take all necessary and appropriate diplomatic steps to facilitate his release forthwith.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] heard oral arguments [day call, PDF; briefs] Wednesday in two cases. In Puckett v. United States [oral arguments transcript, PDF], the Court heard arguments on whether a defendant's claim, not raised at trial, that the prosecution breached a plea agreement is reviewable on appeal according to the plain-error standard under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure [Rule 52(b) text]. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that the claim was governed by plain-error review and found no reversible error. Counsel for the petitioner argued that Puckett "has been prejudiced by the government's breach." Counsel for the government argued:
that the plain-error standard does apply to forfeited claims that a plea agreement has been breached, that the Olano framework should be followed, and that one component of the plain-error showing in this context should require a defendant who did not object to a breach in the district court to show a reasonable probability that the outcome of the proceeding was affected by the breach.
To keep the elements [of RICO] apart, ensure their distinct consideration, and give the enterprise independent meaning, juries must be instructed, as in the Seventh Circuit and elsewhere, that an "enterprise" requires a structure separate from the commission of the predicate acts forming the pattern.
An association-in-fact enterprise need not have an ascertainable structure distinct from the predicate act of racketeering committed by one of its associates, whatever that means. RICO's statutory text, its surrounding context, and this Court's construction of the statute show that RICO's definition of "enterprise" is broad and contains no such limitation.
[JURIST] A judge in the Penal Chamber of the National Court of Spain [official website, in Spanish] in Madrid on Tuesday ordered [text, PDF, in Spanish] a trial for the men allegedly responsible for the killings [CJA backgrounder] of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper, and her daughter. Judge Eloy Velasco admitted the plea [summary, PDF] entered in November [JURIST report] by the Spanish Association for Human Rights [advocacy website], finding that the court has jurisdiction to take the case against 14 former officials of the Salvadoran Army on the basis of accusations of crimes against humanity. Velasco also appointed Domingo Jose Collado Molinero as Prosecutor for the case. The court declined to try former President Alfredo Cristiani for lack of sufficient evidence and because he is accused of aiding to conceal the accused, an act that is not considered to be a crime against humanity. The court has initiated an investigation that will begin by taking statements from Salvadoran authorities who were involved with the case.In November, the Spanish Association for Human Rights filed this suit under the principle of universal jurisdiction [Princeton backgrounder, PDF] in conjunction with the Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA) [advocacy website], a human rights organization based in San Francisco, California. The CJA plea is still awaiting decision of the court on whether it will be admitted, pending further submission of documents.
[JURIST] The convening authority of military commissions Susan Crawford [official profile, PDF; JURIST news archive] has said that torture tactics were used [article text] in the interrogation of Mohammed al-Qahtani [JURIST news archive], a suspect held at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] under allegations of connections to the 9/11 attacks, according to a Wednesday interview in the Washington Post. Crawford made the statement after nearly two years of reviewing Guantanamo Bay practices as well as the strength of legal cases against detainees. Crawford further expanded on the torture claim, admitting that the US military engaged in such practices as, "sleep deprivation, sustained isolation, nudity and prolonged exposure to cold that 'left him in a life-threatening condition.'" As the official responsible for pursuing any criminal charges against al-Qahtani, Crawford has said that she would not allow for the prosecution of al-Qahtani precisely because he was tortured.Controversial practices and policies at Guantanamo Bay have kept the military prison in the news throughout the course of the Bush administration. Advisers to President-elect Barack Obama said Monday that he plans to issue an executive order [JURIST report] during his first week in office closing the facility. The chairman of the US House Judiciary Committee [official website] on Tuesday published a report [text, PDF] urging Obama to open a criminal investigation [JURIST report] into the alleged abuses that have occurred at Guantanamo Bay throughout the Bush administration.
[JURIST] Judge John Bates [official profile] of the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] on Tuesday ordered [court order, PDF] that copies of the documents related to the investigation into the late 2006 firings of nine US attorneys [JURIST report] be provided by the Bush administration to the incoming Obama administration. The court order indicated that the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee [official website] and the Obama administration may need to have the documents readily available to comply with "established litigation deadlines." The Bush Administration intended to transfer the documents to the National Archives [official website]. The court order stipulates that the originals should still be transferred to the National Archives, but the Archivist is now required to maintain the documents readily accessible and "intact at a facility in Washington D.C. until the litigation is resolved."In 2007, the investigation into the firings led to the resignation [JURIST report] of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. The Bush Administration has denied [JURIST report] that the firings were politically motivated.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] decided two cases Wednesday. The Court ruled [opinion, PDF] 5-4 in Herring v. United States [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that evidence seized during a search incident to an arrest does not have to be suppressed when the sole premise for the arrest was information later found to be negligently provided by another law enforcement agency. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the Court. Roberts held:
[In circumstances where] an officer reasonably believes there is an out-standing arrest warrant, but that belief turns out to be wrong because of a negligent bookkeeping error by an-other police employee ... the jury should not be barred from considering all the evidence.
The jury-trial right is best honored through a "principled rationale" that applies the rule of the Apprendi cases "within the central sphere of their concern." Our disposition today upholding an Oregon statute that assigns to judges a decision that has not traditionally belonged to the jury is faithful to that aim. [citations omitted]
The rule of Apprendi v. New Jersey is clear: Any fact other than that of a prior conviction that increases the maximum punishment to which a defendant may be sentenced must be admitted by the defendant or proved beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury. Oregons sentencing scheme allows judges rather than juries to find the facts necessary to commit defendants to longer prison sentences, and thus directly contradicts what we held eight years ago and have reaffirmed several times since.
[JURIST] The Bush administration engaged in numerous abuses [press release], and the incoming Obama administration should launch a criminal investigation to find out whether any laws were violated, according to a report [text, PDF] released Tuesday by US House Judiciary Committee [official website] Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) [official website]. In the nearly 500-page report, Conyers points to allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, extraordinary rendition, warrantless domestic surveillance, CIA leaks, and the firing of US attorneys for political reasons. Conyers outlines 47 recommendations, including a full investigation. Conyers wrote:
The purpose of the ... investigations is not payback, but to uphold the rule of law, allow us to learn from our national mistakes, and prevent them from recurring. Such an effort would be a welcome sign to our friends, and a warning to our foes, that this Nation can indeed serve as a beacon of liberty and freedom without weakening our ability to combat terrorism or other threats. The Report makes clear that even after scores of hearings, investigations, and reports, Congress and the American public still do not have answers to some of the most fundamental questions concerning the Bush Imperial Presidency.
[JURIST] The former acting head of the Civil Rights Division at the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] routinely discriminated against job applicants and employees [press release] who did not share his conservative political views, according to a report [text, PDF] released Tuesday. The report, dated July 2, 2008, was prepared by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) [official websites] and accuses former Civil Rights Division head Bradley Schlozman of violating federal law by engaging in discrimination and making false statements to Congress when questioned about hiring practices. According to the report:
We found that Schlozman inappropriately considered political and ideological affiliations in hiring career attorneys. Based on the results of our interviews of Civil Rights Division section chiefs and many other attorneys in the Division, we learned that Schlozman favored applicants with conservative political or ideological affiliations and disfavored applicants with civil rights or human rights experience whom he considered to be overly liberal.
The Department agrees with the recommendations outlined in the report and has already taken steps to implement them. In addition, the Civil Rights Division has taken additional steps to update its own hiring policies and to increase the role of career employees in its hiring process. As a result of these reforms, and the procedures already in place for evaluating the work and conduct of lawyers throughout the Department, we are confident that the institutional problems identified in todays report no longer exist and will not recur.
[JURIST] International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website; JURIST news archive] prosecutor Justice Hassan B. Jallow [official profile] on Tuesday appealed the 15-year sentence [judgment, PDF; JURIST report] given to popular Rwandan singer-songwriter Simon Bikindi [ICTR materials]. Jallow appealed the sentence [Hirondelle report] on the grounds that it was inadequate punishment for "direct and public incitement to commit genocide." The charge is based on a speech Bikindi gave during the 1994 Rwanda genocide [HRW backgrounder] in which he called on Hutus to rise up and exterminate the Tutsis. The prosecution alleged [ICTR press release] that Bikindi "through the lyrical content of his music, consciously and deliberately assisted in executing the plan to exterminate Tutsis." Bikindi was first indicted and arrested in 2001. At the time of his arrest, Bikindi was living in the Netherlands. He fought extradition for several months but lost and was turned over to the ICTR in March 2002 where he pleaded not guilty [Hirondelle materials] to charges of genocide. The trial commenced [JURIST report] in September 2006 following numerous delays relating to court ordered amendments to the original indictment [trial minutes, PDF].

personally i love this show and i think this seasons been good. but im not much of a critic and dont over analyze shows, it has gotten pretty weird though.
It's been really uneven but I almost like it more. Wilfred is clearly more than he seems...it's like an unspoken thing. You constantly are left to wonder 'why is he never with Jenna?' And he just shows up when Ryan is at a bar next door saying that he is drinking with his 'best friend' somewhere else. It's really kind of sketchy. And you have to believe at this point that something is really wrong with Ryan. So no, I do not think things are 'status quo'. It's also been more...dark/mean spirited. He had a girlfriend and that ended really badly. It was truly one of the more ugly moments of the show. More developments with his mom in the nuthouse. A job with a boss that was getting (same) sexual favors from a mentally challenged office worker, and then the boss offing himself in a later episode after a motivational speech. Dwight Yoakum returned and that was odd too. It's almost as if this show and Louie are the 'we defy you to laugh' hour. It's not an easy watch but it definitely is worth watching.
OK I'll get back in.
Really excited to see the new episodes
I have been on the road all summer so my
Que must have a couple of them in there .
If you have seen the original series from OZ
It's pretty dark compared to the first US season .
Yeah, I saw a few when they marathoned on IFC and I definitely noticed the difference. I would say that they are closer in spirit to what I saw of the Aussie show than the tone of last season. At this point iI almost expect Wilfred to not be even real, or be dead...or something. It's almost irrelevant.
As a dog owner I can relate to 99.9% of the content.
I need to start over from the beginning. Started, stopped, started again with this season. Love the show tho. Totally unlike a lot of the brainless drivel out there that most people prefer.
Same, i love the little 20 second clips at the very end right before Louie starts. The one a few episodes back when Wilfred was smiling and Ryan asked why he was smiling so much and said something like "Its hot as **** in here!" had me dying cause my dog does that ALL THE TIME.
Lost Girl ends big, Wilfred hits record low + 25 other genre shows | Blastr
Luckily not a death blow due to the good folks at Fx...but it certainly isn't looking great. Not renewed yet...but this show does have a pretty die hard following. If it was only season one, I would feel better about their chances. But I can't help but feel that Fx is going to have to look at this as diminishing returns. Coin flip.Quote:
Wilfred (FX)
0.64 million viewers/0.3
More bad news for Wilfred this week. After posting its lowest viewership ever with its previous episode, the series dropped yet again to hit a brand new low. With just one week to go until the season finale, that's not good.
FX Adopts Wilfred' Season 3
Back in July, FX President and General Manager John Landraf spoke at the TCA Press Tour about the renewal chances of "Wilfred" and said that "we have some deal issues to work out but I think it'll be on the air for several more years."
However, Langraf's declaration was followed by months of silence about "Wilfred's" fate until today, when FX officially renewed "Wilfred" for a third season. Deadline is reporting that the negotiations for renewal moved slowly because the network was attempting to reach a new deal with "Wilfred" showrunner and executive producer, David Zuckerman.
However, Zuckerman will step down as the "Wilfred" showrunner in favor of Reed Agnew and Eli Jorne; both of whom wrote for the first two seasons. Zuckerman will retain his title as executive producer of the series, but the extent of his involvement going forward isn't entirely clear.

The increasing variability present in modern CMOS devices demands revolutionary changes in the design methodology, algorithms and tools used to produce integrated circuits and systems. Progressive scaling of CMOS transistors has driven the success of the global semiconductor industry, as captured by the reknowned Moore's Law which stipulates an exponential increase of the number of transistors in chips, with some modern chips now comprising several billion transistors. Until recently the transistors in silicon chips were assumed to be of uniform design, having identical physical properties and characteristics. However as illustrated in Figure 1, as transistor dimensions approach the nanometer scale this assumption no longer holds true with microscopic differences in atomic structure, doping configuration and material granularity producing differences in the macroscopic behaviour of individual devices.
As a result Moore's Law as tracked by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) is now reaching the physical, atomistic limits of silicon and radical new approaches are needed that encompass this atomistic variability. To address this problem, it is now widely recognized that a paradigm shift must happen in circuit and system design. Strong links have to be established between system, circuit and fundamental device technology research in order to allow modern integrated circuits to cope with the statistically varying behaviour of individual transistors on a chip. Design methods must evolve to accommodate the increasing statistical variability of transistors and absorb the impact that this can have on circuit and system performance. The nanoCMOS project confronts these engineering challenges. This chapter introduces the project in detail and concludes with a brief look at future work in this area.

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish |
HUNTING RULES FOR ELK, BIGHORNS, EXOTIC SPECIES ON COMMISSION AGENDA SILVER CITY -- The State Game Commission will consider establishing rules for the 2011-2014 hunting seasons for elk, bighorn sheep, exotic species and waterfowl seasons at its meeting July 8 in Silver City. The meeting will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Global Resource Center Auditorium at Western New Mexico University on the corner of 12th and Kentucky streets in Silver City. The full agenda, detailed agenda-item briefings and other information are available on the Department of Game and Fish Web site, www.wildlife.state.nm.us, or by calling (505) 476-8008. The Department of Game and Fish final hunting recommendations for elk, bighorn sheep, exotic species and waterfowl follow a public comment period that began in April. Proposals include establishing nine more licenses for desert bighorn sheep if the animals are removed from the state threatened species list, adjusting oryx seasons, increasing ibex hunting opportunities and opening the Bernardo Wildlife Area to waterfowl hunting on Tuesdays. More details about the proposals and the timeline of the Department's three-part approach to establishing hunting rules for the 2011-2014 seasons are available on the Department Web site. The Commission adopted new rules for turkey, upland game and javelina in June, and will hear a presentation about public comments and development of hunting seasons and rules for deer, bear, cougar, pronghorn and the A-PLUS (Antelope Private Lands Use System) program in August. Other agenda items July 8 include:
The State Game Commission is composed of seven members who represent the state's diverse interests in wildlife-associated recreation and conservation. Members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate. Current members are Chairman Jim McClintic, Vice-chairwoman Sandy Buffett, Tom Arvas, Gary Fonay, Kent Salazar, M.H. "Dutch" Salmon, and Thomas "Dick" Salopek. If you are an individual with a disability who is in need of a reader, amplifier, qualified sign language interpreter, or any other form of auxiliary aid or service to attend or participate in the meeting, please contact Sonya Quintana, (505) 476-8030.

Reduced nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and fine particle emissions
BlueTec proving to be an effective "fuel saving strategy"
Two thirds of low-emission trucks sport the Mercedes star
BlueTec – now available for all three truck series
Just under a year after the market launch, the 10,000th truck with the new BlueTec diesel technology has come off the line at the DaimlerChrysler truck plant in Wörth. The milestone Mercedes-Benz Actros BlueTec 5 model was handed over to the management of freight company GRT Wittwer Transport GmbH by Hubertus Troska, Head of the Mercedes-Benz Trucks Business Unit. Based in Eschenlohe in Upper Bavaria, GRT Wittwer Transport GmbH operates a fleet of some 90 trucks, of which almost one third are already equipped with Mercedes-Benz BlueTec diesel technology and meet the Euro 5 emissions standards scheduled to go into effect in 2009. This technology reduces emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulates by up to 80 per cent from currently permissible levels.
Fleets like that of GRT Wittwer Transport GmbH which opt for low-emission technology ahead of schedule also enjoy economic benefits. As Hubertus Troska explained at the handover: "BlueTec diesel technology is proving to be an effective fuel saving strategy. Not surprisingly in view of rising fuel prices, the chance to make big savings – of between 1,500 and 2,000 litres of fuel a year in long-haul operation for example – is bringing BlueTec to the attention of more and more prospective customers." This was why BlueTec diesel technology won DaimlerChrysler the international "Golden Oil Drop 2005" award. German road toll concessions for Euro 5 trucks through to 2009 are a further attraction.
Wittwer Transport GmbH's European fleet operations rely heavily on state-of-the-art technology and well-equipped vehicles. Incidentally, every year a number of long-distance trips are made by the bosses themselves. "This allows us to keep in touch with customers and with the realities of the business", says Wolf-Rüdiger Wittwer, senior director of the family-run company.
Two thirds of Euro 4/Euro 5 trucks on the road are Mercedes-Benz products
DaimlerChrysler decided at an early stage in favour of using SCR-based BlueTec technology to meet Euro 4 and Euro 5 and as a basis for meeting future even more stringent European emissions standards. In the meantime all the European manufacturers have followed suit and are developing Euro 5 technologies based on SCR. Interim solutions based on a combination of existing technology and additional components are only being offered for Euro 4, which will become mandatory very shortly (in autumn 2006).
Mercedes-Benz trucks were the first commercial vehicles to go on the market in Euro 5 version. That was just under a year ago. Starting with the Mercedes-Benz Actros heavy-duty trucks, BlueTec has now also been introduced in the Mercedes-Benz Axor and Mercedes-Benz Atego truck ranges. With ten thousand vehicles delivered so far, Mercedes-Benz accounts for approximately two thirds of the Euro 4/Euro 5 trucks currently operating in Europe. Around 98% of orders are for the particularly future-compatible Euro 5 trucks.
BlueTec also effective against fine particles
Essentially, the new BlueTec diesel technology from DaimlerChrysler is based on improved engine design combined with exhaust aftertreatment technology. The efficiency of the combustion process means that the engine-out emissions of particulate matter and fine particles are already so low as to make a particulate filter redundant. Independent tests (for example by the TÜV-Nord technical inspection authority) have demonstrated the effectiveness of BlueTec in reducing fine particle emissions. Using the aqueous urea solution AdBlue as a reducing agent, the nitrogen oxides in these emissions are then converted into non-toxic nitrogen and water vapour in a catalyst with the aid of an integrated SCR exhaust aftertreatment system. There are now around 1,500 public-access AdBlue refuelling sites in Europe, ranging from the Arctic Circle to southern Spain and from Ireland to Moscow, Russia. On top of the reduced fuel consumption, BlueTec diesel technology has other advantages as well: service intervals remain unchanged at up to 150,000 km, and fuel quality tolerance is improved, a particularly important consideration for long-haul transport to regions where low-sulphur diesel fuel is not available.

This chart shows the kiwi rallying 8% against the yen since March 5, the Aussie up 4% against the Swissi (this pair is sort of a measure of investor confidence where a strong Aussie implies a lack of fear) and the US dollar up 2% against the Japanese yen.
So the currency market shows fear is diminished. This is probably 180 degrees from the oil market, depending on how you take a rising oil price; a barometer of increased demand from higher growth or an escalation of fear.
Maybe gold has the answer? In the time period charted the GLD ETF (client holding) is up 4%. Is this because of inflation fear coming from healthy growth, the expectation of a weak dollar due to US economic weakness or something else?
And just what is the yield curve trying to say?
You probably see where I am going; a particular trend in something, like any of the things mentioned, can have different meanings depending on the situation. Above, I question whether any of these things could be due to growth picking back up. Brian Wesbury from First Trust is on CNBC all the time saying we are still chugging along in a healthy fashion. While I disagree with him he could be right.
The point is that sometimes, for example, gold going up means one thing and sometimes it means something else. If you are going to try to decipher the meaning of these things you may have to look at things in a way that is counter intuitive to you.
For example I have been in the inverted curve means recession camp. If it turns out there is no recession I am going to want to try to understand why so that if something similar comes along in a future cycle I will be better prepared.
We all get things right and wrong. Learning from the wrongs is part of the job description.

roger, you wrote a recent post on bid ask spreads of etfs. Was this an editorial that too many of the less traded etfs have spreads too great? Bad for the consumer, bad for etf industry. If so, I hope that you do more of this. Easy to rationalize a big spread if one holds for years, but I'm an intermediate term trader. Ihave a few speciality type etfs on my list...like pho and pbw...but very few. I'm rapdily just not even considering the more innovative products. The spreads, and perception of low liquidity, I think will keep volume quite low. Trust is a real issue. Market specialist and crook are one and the same, undoubtedly an unfair generalization. But, that's the perception. If a new etf five years later only has assets worth 12 million, or whatever, will it disappear? Is there a bottom line for these products?

there have been ETFs that have closed the O-strip recently and iShares closed a couple in 2001 or 2002 I believe. So I would expect that other funds will close in the future but I don't know at what point a company throws in the towel.
As for the spread; that does not tell the whole story. If the spread is a dime but all the volume occurs in the middle (this can be found on a Bloomberg terminal with the TSM function) you could be OK. This varies from fund to fund.
If you use the limit you want and it gets filled does the spread matter? If you use a limit and it does not get filled you don't buy it.
You say you are intermediate term. That is subjective, you may mean a month or a year. For whatever you do does an extra penny matter? what about two pennies. You know what you can or cannot give up in slippage and you should not waiver. some ETFs will work, regardless of the spread and some will not.
hope that helps - 7:11 AM

I make up for the "why doesn't this work anymore" question by accepting that when everyone knows something, (inverted yield curve), then it can't work anymore, cause then we'd ALL be right, All the time. In 1980, when the curve was 18% short and 12% long, people still had a hard time believing that it was all over. The 5-6% stuff now is minimal in comparison.

i like your logic but i have to concede that it seemed to me that more people were saying the yield curve meant less this time including Cranky Bernanke.

It seems like these market axioms change over time. During gold's initial big run-up, lots of writers were saying a big recession was a given within a year. 'Cause that's what a gold run-up means. Of course it hasn't happened. If it happens in Q4 2007 or in 2009, I guess they'll still point to it and say "See, gold told the story."
I'd bet the "everyone knows something" issue is involved. Time frames change (what might have taken 2 quarters 30 years ago now takes 2 years) and of course people like the Fed chairman know these axioms and plan to counteract them. - 1:16 PM

This was the 1 episode in all of Pokemon that I disliked the most. The only thing I liked was seeing Quagsire for the 1st time. The whole plot of this episode was really bad...
This was the 1 episode in all of Pokemon that I disliked the most. The only thing I liked was seeing Quagsire for the 1st time. The whole plot of this episode was really bad...
Pokemon HeartGold team:
This episode was nice with the GS ball but Quagsire was so annoying wanting it, not giving up until it finally got it but Ash was the lucky one because his item came last in the stream.
Quagsire is cute! It was good to see Ash getting the GS Ball back, but the idea of the Quagsire stealing round items was cool! And Chikorita made this even better. She has a crush on Ashyboy. But she doesn't stand a chance against Misty! 10/10.
It's Ledyba!
I liked seeing Quagsire, and this was a somewhat interesting episode, but it was still edging towards being boring. Chikorita having a crush on Ash was funny. The way the Quagsire attacked Team Rocket was also funny!
I love how they are hyping the GS ball up so much, only letting it slide away in complete mystery after it got delivered to Kurt. Qaugsire was good and its almost impossible to not notice how much they spend every episode debuting new Pokémons. In a way that is good, but also gets mandatory longer it drags on.
I know I love Water Pokemon in all, but Quagsire scare me for some reason. It's just that face that they have. Anyways, it was an okay episode, I was a little annoyed to how that Quagsire kept coming back for the GS Ball. Officer Jenny says Ash will have good luck. I wonder what that is? Because I surely forgot. xD
Probavly one lf the funnier johto fillers early on.

Ralli quilts on display at the International Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Photo by Alex Labry
On a recent visit to the wonderful International Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I was delighted to see a small exhibit of quilts made by women from the Sindh province of Pakistan. This region of the Indian subcontinent has a rich and ancient tradition of arts and crafts, and it is particularly known for its various kinds of textiles, including the intricate appliqué, embroidered, and patchwork quilts known as rallis. Both Muslim and Hindu women make ralli quilts, and they have been doing so for hundreds of years.
Ralli-making skills are passed down from mother to daughter, and according to the foremost Western authority on ralli quilts, Patricia Stoddard—who wrote the only book on the subject, Ralli Quilts: Traditional Textiles from Pakistan and India (2003)—girls start making rallis when they are about 12 years old.
Stoddard states, "The sewing on the top of the quilt is usually the work of one woman and, traditionally, the sewing of the layers is done by a group of three or four women. (This is very similar to the American tradition of a 'quilting bee.') The fabric used for the back of the quilt is often an old head shawl or pieces of several old outfits dyed to be the same color. Special quilts may have a complete fabric on the back. The quilting is especially festive when the quilt is for a marriage, and the sewing is accompanied by singing and stories. There are also legends, folk songs and sayings about rallis." Rallis are quilted on the ground, not in a frame.
Ralli quilts are integral to the culture of the area and are typically made by rural, poor, traditional women, some of whom are nomadic. Rallis are made primarily for bed coverings and floor coverings, or are sewn into sacks for holding various items. When they start to wear out from their initial use, they are then employed as padding for camel saddles, pack animals' loads, or other utilitarian uses.
The number of ralli quilts which a family owns is sometimes considered an indicator of personal wealth, and they are an important part of a girl's dowry. Rallis are also made as gifts for special occasions or special people such as holy men. In these cases, they may be embellished with shells, tiny mirrors, sequins, beads, extra embroidery or tassels.
More recently, ralli quilts have started to be made to sell as a source of income. The exhibit I saw at the Folk Art Museum featured such pieces. Extreme monsoon rains in 2010 caused one-fifth of Pakistan to be submerged under floodwaters for months, and caused 10 million people to lose their homes and incomes, forcing them into temporary relief camps.
According to the exhibit brochure, The Arts of Survival, "As days in the camps became months, the women—many from the famous quiltmaking region of Sindh province—turned their master needlework skills into a source of income, as well as comfort and warmth. With the help of their ever-present needle and thread, they transformed the extra clothes and materials sent by relief organizations into…rallis for sale in nearby stores and markets."
Anyone who loves quilts knows of their many uses, their deep traditions, and their healing power. Ralli quilts from the Indian subcontinent are proof that such characteristics hold true in every corner of the globe.
The exhibit, The Arts of Survival, will be on display at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico until May 6, 2012.

Dashing hopes: Here comes the fiscal cliff
Here we are just a few days away from the new year, or as it is known in Washington this year, the "fiscal cliff." If a deal is not struck before Monday night, $500 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts (mostly tax hikes) will go into effect. What have the good folks we elected to manage our national affairs been doing lately to avoid that economically harmful scenario? Nothing.
President Obama flew to Hawaii and went golfing. On Thursday, it was reported that he had spoken to neither House Speaker John Boehner nor Sen. Harry Reid for days. Boehner tried to pass a deal that would make true on Obama's pledge to raise taxes on "millionaires and billionaires. It would have kept the Bush-era tax rates for everyone who earns less than $1 million a year. But some Republicans thought that was too big a pill to swallow.
Harry Reid returned time and time again to the microphones to blame everything on Republicans. Never mind that he sent only one bill designed to embarrass them to the evil House Republicans to vote on.
Americans head into this weekend with hopes for a real economic recovery in the new year. Washington politicians enter it hoping to blame the other side for the inaction that prevents or delays that real recovery. Happy New Year.
