If someone had to identify a reigning queen of Americana that homespun genre of music encompassing folk, bluegrass, blues and all its countrified cousins it would undoubtedly be Emmylou Harris.
From her early days singing with country-rock icon Graham Parsons to her genre-hopping solo work and collaborations with friends like Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, Harris is a country icon in her own right.
Her latest collaboration, Old Yellow Moon, finds her reunited with one of countrys finest songwriters Rodney Crowell as well as her ex-husband Brian Ahern, who produced the pair back when Crowell was in Harris Hot Band during the late 70s.
Harris, who plays Belk Theater with Crowell Monday, spoke to the Observer about the album, her unique career, the state of folk, and her North Carolina roots.
Q. Whats it like singing with Rodney?
From the get-go (in the 70s) when wed sing on stage or before shows, we just had a common sensibility. We never had to work on it.
Q. You can both sing some sad songs, but Old Yellow Moon as a whole is very joyful. Is that indicative of the experience you had making it?
I think thats what was revealed. You dont go in with the idea of were going to make a sad record or a joyful record. It was pieced together from the songs that we liked. Its like a baby being born. You know what the genes are. I really hear the friendship and the years Rodney and I paralleled in our lives. I think people get that sense.
Q. Richard Thompson is opening the shows. Is he also going to play with you two?
Were hoping to entice him to sit in on something. Were huge fans of Richard Thompson, he and his former wife Linda Thompson.
Q. You were able to attract multiple generations, not just with music you made early in your career, but new music. You honed in on the rock and alternative crowd starting with 1995s Wrecking Ball. Thats pretty rare.
I was very lucky to collaborate with someone like (Wrecking Ball producer) Daniel Lanois. I heard the Oh Mercy record he did with Bob Dylan. For the last few years, that (experience) has really infused my creativity and where Ive been at musically.
You never really lose any part of it. Your whole creative body is made up of the roads you take, and hopefully you blend them together and keep coming up with something thats new and fresh for yourself. You have to be energized, or theres no point in making a record.
There wasnt really pressure from the record labels, but you get in a kind of routine. I was working with the same producer and that framework of Hot Band through the 70s and 80s. In the 90s, I made a change and put a bluegrass band together and went back to my roots. I rode that pony for a while.
Q. Given that you were at the starting point of whats now considered Americana, what do you think of the big folk-rock revival with Mumford & Sons, for instance, winning the Grammy?
I love those guys. They were jazz guys. They told me they got turned on to the banjo and roots music from O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Down from the Mountain (which Harris sang on). It can spark something to go down a creative road you havent thought about. Thats a wonderful sign music is quite healthy and creative.
Music is always going to seem like its going downhill and its mediocre. Then someone will come up with something (new).
Q. You actually grew up partly in North Carolina, right?
My father was in the Marine Corps. We spent three years at Cherry Point when I was 6, 7, and 8, and a year at Camp Lejeune. Then my father was transferred to Quantico. I got a scholarship at (UNC) Greensboro and was there for three semesters, and I got the folk music bug. I headed off into the sunset.
I love North Carolina. I have a niece there. Her husband is going to architecture school in Raleigh. We still have connections there, good friends, and of course, Merlefest.

A pro-Palestine rally in Midtown led to arrests Friday.
Rally-goers covered themselves in fake blood and lied down on the sidewalk in protest of several banks in the city they say are supporting Israel's campaign.
We spoke with protesters who say the current conflict is not a fair fight.
"Israel is the fourth most powerful military in the world. It is not a fight what is happening there. It is not self defense," said one protester.
"The cease-fire happens when the rights of the Palestinians to live in peace and justice are met. Otherwise, an oppressed people—a people that lives under occupation—under international law, has a right to resist."
Protests on both sides have been going on all week.

Find out from Freewebs' president why advertisers need to know about this next step on the engagement-marketing continuum.
If you look solely at the usage metrics of interactive media -- audience size and composition, time spent online, most popular online activities, online frequency -- you might conclude that the medium has matured. But the truth is that you can "critical mass" and "inflection point" until you are blue in the face; but with the business models on how to monetize all that online activity still so nascent and evolving, it's clear that interactive media is still in a pre-verbal stage.
Most of the major developments within the medium fall within a continuum. Looking backwards, many seem faddish, but still reveal some traces of today's standards. The animated .GIF ad banner, for example, planted the seed that would grow into rich media, by way of HTML banners, flash animation and video, with increasing capacity for interaction.
Then along came widgets. Judging from the buzz around them, it is easy to overlook that they, too, are part of a continuum -- at the very early end of engagement marketing. What is at the far end of the engagement-marketing continuum -- even when the far end might occur -- is as unknowable right now as Facebook's market cap, although the pundits are just as likely to guess at it.
But what is more interesting about widget marketing is not what it may one day evolve into, but what its popularity says about personal publishing. It is following a continuum of its own, which began with Geocities and The Globe and Tripod, progressed into blogs and vlogs and podcasts, before veering off into social networks; "veering off" because profiles aren't quite the same thing as publishing, in the same way that texting isn't the same thing as talking, or trailers aren't the same thing as films.
Social networks are, at their core, collections of connected profiles. As a means of expression, profiles are a truncated value proposition. As social tools, they certainly facilitate community. But for the psychologically sound, they're not a substitute for it. By nature they are templated, because templating allows some commonality, and also relieves users of the burden of creativity in order to participate. And relieving burdens of participation is the cost of doing business in the scale game.
But not everyone wants to be relieved of the burden of creativity. The immense popularity of widgets is a testament to this creative urge; a means of self-expression, identity and individuality within the confines of a templated environment.
Enter social publishing networks, the next point on the personal publishing continuum. Social publishing networks are publishing tools with network features (in contrast to social networks, which are networks with some publishing features). They are popular with people who create before they connect; the same personality types who were early to adopt personal homepages and blogs at their outset. And even then, there has been some effort to evolve earlier publishing platforms into social publishing networks.
Blogs, of course, have their blogrolls, pointing to complementary content and/or like-minded bloggers. And if you remember Geocities you might also recall Webrings: circles of connected sites with complementary content linked serially, betraying decidedly analog thinking within a new digital platform.
But the social publishing networks of today and the near future are step-changes from what has come before. Open, untemplated platforms coupled with a teeming widgetsphere allow for unbridled creativity, and the social features have also progressed, due in no small part to all the social envelope-pushing occurring at Facebook, MySpace and the dozens of networks nipping at their heels.
As a result, they will grow in popularity because they fill a need in the market better than anything that has come before. They won't rival the bigger social networks in size; their lack of templates will see to that. But the participants they do draw in will have deeper connections to these networks owing to the effort they put into the content they are creating there, and also because -- unlike profiles -- they actually contain content.
The ease of building profiles is a double-edged sword, capable of slashing barriers to entry and barriers to exit with equal facility. The time people put into creating their social publishing networks raises switching costs, engendering long-term loyalty.
Why should advertisers take note of social publishing networks any more than they did of Second Life or podcasts or Twitter after being assured that they, too, were the next new thing? Social publishing networks have some advertiser-friendly features built right in:
Their user base is loyal and deeply invested in the platform. Finding a rich audience here now means finding the same richness next campaign, and not having to fear that consumer fickleness will prompt platform defection.
By nature, participants in social publishing networks are both creative and social, traits increasingly sought after by advertisers who are honing their word-of-mouth marketing skills and pursuing collaborators for consumer-generated campaigns.
The widget marketing skills advertisers are fervently ramping up will apply here as well.
At their heart, they are content. Content still fits more neatly into a media plan than demographics, psychographics, behavior and social connectedness.
Social publishing networks may turn out to represent a major industry development, marking the point at which both advertisers and consumers become equally connected to the same media. But like all of the other narratives within our industry's development, that story is to be continuumed.

(Adds deal details starting in the seventh paragraph.)
Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- An Isle of Jersey-registered hedge fund was ordered to pay Wachovia Corp., the bank now owned by Wells Fargo & Co., $2.1 million in a dispute over a credit- default swap.
U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain in Manhattan determined in an order yesterday the amount VCG Special Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. must pay after ruling in Wachovia's favor last year. Swain had also ruled against VCG's claims that the bank cheated it by forcing it to make higher margin payments than necessary on the swap.
The court "grants Wachovia's motion for an award of the full amount of its claimed damages, attorneys' fees and expenses," Swain wrote yesterday.
Swain had ruled last year that Wachovia's calculation of its exposure to a collateralized-debt obligation the swap covered didn't violate "good faith and fair dealing" by determining VCG owed more in collateral than the swap's $10 million value.
The $2.1 million includes $1.02 million Wachovia was owed, $1.03 million in legal fees, and interest, Swain said.
Steven Mintz, a lawyer for VCG at Mintz & Gold LLP, didn't immediately return a call for comment on the decision.
Sold Protection
Wachovia and VCG, controlled by Delray Beach, Florida-based Vanquish Capital Group, entered into the swap in May 2007. VCG sold protection against a default by a collateralized-debt obligation in exchange for an annual premium payment of 2.75 percent of the swap's face value.
CDOs repackage bonds and other assets into new securities. Neither Wachovia nor the hedge fund owned the CDO.
Wachovia told VCG it wouldn't have to post margin beyond the initial $750,000 unless the underlying collateral defaulted, the hedge fund said in court papers. Instead, Wachovia demanded another $320,000 a few weeks after the initial payment and a total of $8.92 million over five months, according to VCG's amended complaint filed in 2008 in Manhattan federal court.
VCG, formerly called CDO Plus Master Fund Ltd., sued rather than pay a further demand of $550,000, arguing it would push its payments to more than $10 million.
Swain found that under the deal's terms, the total amount of collateral the hedge fund could owe was the initial $750,000 plus the $10 million face value.
The hedge fund never offered any evidence to dispute the valuation, the judge said.
Credit-default swaps are financial instruments used to speculate on a borrower's creditworthiness or to hedge against losses. The contracts pay the buyer face value for the underlying securities if the company fails to adhere to its debt agreements.
The case is CDO Plus Master Fund Ltd. v. Wachovia Bank, 07- 11078, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

I've got the 1.7L pot - but want the 1.0L. Do MSR/Backcountry sell the 1.0L pot separately?
Bill Porreca
They sure do, http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/stoves/stove-systems/reactor-cookware/product . We just do not currently sell it separately.
If you haven't found one yet, I would be willing to let mine go. I am looking to replace it with the 1.7L as I am always hiking with several kids and need the extra capacity.
Ryan Hamilton
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Perfect size for melting snow for water or cooking for more than one person. So much easier than the 1 liter, but much more condensed than the 2.5L size. Perfect.
Aaron Crabb
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It has a max fill line at 1.0L mark and the last marking is at 1.5L. 1.7L would be all the way to the brim. So actually its a smaller volume than expected.
Also the lid on the 1.7L doesn't have the same porting as the 1L and 2.5L that i've seen. The 1.7L I have only has one small port that you can't very well use to pour with. I guess its just there to vent steam pressure.
There are also some other differences like in the lid handle.
Otherwise the Reactor is a great stove system. Be sure to keep all of its components dry for storage.

Jonah Goldberg: On Keystone, what other nation would follow our example?
This fact should have relevance below the 49th parallel. Right now, we're all waiting for President Obama to decide on whether the Keystone pipeline can go forward. The pipeline would take oil from the tar sands of northern Alberta and deliver it to refineries in the U.S. It would extend all the way down to ports in Texas.
The prospect that Obama might approve the pipeline has environmentalists ready to handcuff themselves in a drum circle around anything that moves. For a while, they insisted that their core objections had to do with fears of spills in environmentally sensitive areas in Nebraska and elsewhere. As many suspected, this was always political cover. When the proposed route was changed to accommodate these concerns, opponents weren't mollified. They were only further enraged.
Opponents of the pipeline want America to lead by example, and the pipeline is a step in the wrong direction. "Who wants the U.S. to facilitate the dirtiest extraction of the dirtiest crude from tar sands in Canada's far north?" asks New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
Well, first of all, the Canadians do! Second, if we won't, the Chinese would be happy to facilitate (a point Friedman ignores). Canada and China have made it clear that if the U.S. doesn't allow the pipeline to go south, they'll make one that goes west to the Canadian coast. In other words, the oil is going to be pumped out no matter what. Moreover, the risks of a bad spill increase if we don't build the pipeline. Oil tankers heading to China are a bigger threat to the environment than a pipe over or through dry land to American refineries.
But my aim isn't to defend the pipeline, which strikes me as a no-brainer in every way. It's to make a larger point. If the idea is that America is somehow "leading by example" when/if it kills projects like Keystone, or cracks down on oil drilling on federal lands, as Obama has done, then we're not fooling anyone - not even the Canadians!
All around the world, governments are expanding their oil and gas operations. In Russia, oil output keeps going up. Brazil is racing to expand offshore drilling. Mexico recently announced another huge oil field it won't hesitate to develop. Experts are predicting a South Atlantic oil boom to rival the North Sea craze of the 1980s.
Meanwhile, thanks to technological advances, the International Energy Agency predicts the U.S. will be the world's largest oil producer by 2017 and a net exporter by 2030. And again, Greens, who've insisted for years that we need to wean ourselves off of foreign oil, aren't cheered by the news. They're ticked off that they lost another convenient talking point.
While it's true that President Obama brags about how oil and gas production are up, his policies have nothing to do with it. A new report from the Congressional Research Service confirms: "All of the increased (oil) production from 2007 to 2012 took place on non-federal lands." Since 2010, federal oil production is down 23 percent.
To what end? As global-warming activists will be the first to admit, global warming is global. Whatever CO2 we've declined to pump into the atmosphere has been more than replaced by emissions from growing economies in Asia. We could cut our emissions to nothing, and in a few years the increase in China's emissions alone would replace them.
You know what else are global? Oil and gas markets. Whatever oil we've denied ourselves has been made up for by development in other countries. All that we've done is make oil prices higher than they needed to be and denied ourselves billions of dollars that would have stayed here rather than go to the Middle East. No country, save the U.S., seems at all interested in denying itself or the world much-needed economic growth by letting oil and gas sit in the ground.
In other words, when you've lost Canada, you've lost the argument.

Byon September 3, 2013
Anyone familiar with Burberry and, let's face it, that includes you knows that the brand's creative director Christopher Bailey is a bit of an audiophile. So it comes as no surprise that the brand's latest fragrance, Brit Rhythm, takes its cues from the music scene, specifically the high-octane world of rock concerts. Bailey says the new scent is meant to channel the adrenaline rush of attending a live performance and the electric energy of the crowd. This translates to a shot of spicy top notes (notably basil and cardamom) which fade to rich heart notes of leather and patchouli before settling on musky base notes of cedarwood, incense, and tonka bean.
And while the British label may be steeped in history, it never gets bogged down by its iconic status. In fact, Burberry has always led the way when it comes to the digital revolution. For Brit Rhythm, expect to see a partnership with the music video site Noisey unveiled late this month, or tag your social media posts #ThisIsBrit to add your own voice to the online dialogue right now. And for those more concerned with offline happenings, Burberry is launching a capsule collection in conjunction with the fragrance release that's built around a favorite garment of musicians from every era the leather jacket.

Sequester? Siesta!: Your government at work
A friend suggests that the idea to in effect sequester the Congress itself ought to be front and center in this story.
Maybe, he says, the budget-cutting should BEGIN with Congress. Since clearly neither the House nor the Senate is doing its job, or particularly wants to even be in Washington for the heavy lifting, perhaps they are unnecessary. Ya think?
President Obama clearly doesn't care about the public in all this. His administration has made no attempt to deal rationally with this latest self-manufactured crisis. Here were its first moves:
Free from jail illegal immigrants who were bound for deportation.
Tell air travelers they would be delayed a minimum of 90 minutes due to fewer TSA workers and FAA tower personnel.
Tell state and local school departments that teachers would be cut, or not.
And our personal favorite, and a really, really serious threat to the nation: warn NASCAR fans that U.S. Air Force acrobatic flyovers at a racetrack near you may have to be stopped.
Oh, the humanity.
Meanwhile, the President burns up jet fuel and millions of dollars in every farflung appearance he has been making to campaign for his plan to cut the ?budget: raise taxes yet again.
Whatever patch job is found for this latest spectacle, don't expect it to last. The next "deadline" of March 27, for once again raising the debt ceiling, looms. The groundhog didn't see his shadow, and yet it looks like there will be no early end to the maddening Washington winter.

It will be interesting to see if the State Department, which by order of a presidential proclamation and act of congress is required to bar corrupt foreign officials from American territory, will finally take action on Teodoro Nguema Obiang. As I reported here yesterday, the Justice Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have compiled a laundry list of gross misconduct on Obiang, the son of the dictator of Equatorial Guinea, a major oil producer and site of billions in investments by U.S. energy firms.
Obiang, sometimes known as Teodorin, earns the equivalent of about $5,000 monthly as minister of agriculture and forestry (or the minister of chopping down trees, as some of his critics call it). Yet documents from the investigation show that he has used shell corporations to move tens of millions of dollars into the U.S., helping him buy a $35 million estate in Malibu, a $33 million plane and a fleet of luxury cars. "[I]t is suspected that a large portion of Teodoro Nguema OBIANG's assets have originated from extortion, theft of public funds, or other corrupt conduct," said a Justice Department document from 2007. A second document from that same year, produced by ICE, said, investigators hoped to "identify, trace, freeze, and recover assets within the United States illicitly acquired through kleptocracy by Teodoro Obiang and his associates," and to "deny safe haven in the United States to kleptocrats."
Yet the State Department, which can at least bar Obiang from enjoying the loot he has accumulated here, has done zero to keep him out. "The least they could do is cut off his shopping privileges by denying him entry into the United States," Jack Blum, an attorney and former Senate counsel, commented to me about Obiang's case. "Where the hell is the U.S. government?"
"Natural resources are the only significant source of wealth in many developing nations, and we have seen how easily the proceeds can be exploited by government officials for their own self interest," Senator Patrick Leahy, who played a key role in passing the congressional amendment barring corrupt officials from entering the United States, commented. "Some of these despots have used this ill gotten wealth to live in luxury in the United States. We should not facilitate their crimes against their own people, and we have every right and obligation to deny them entry."
I contributed reporting to a lengthy study released yesterday by Global Witness, which obtained the U.S. documents from the case of Teodorin. The documents were also reported on by the New York Times.

During a fifteen-year span beginning in 1837, a series of Christian missionaries moved into the Mdewakanton Dakota village of Red Wing. Their goals, in the language of the day, were the "education and civilization" of the Indians. Welcomed by some of their hosts and tolerated by others, these Euro-Americans attempted to convince the Mdewakanton to adopt the ways of the whites.

The Emerald Cup will make its highly anticipated return to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, CA on December 13th and 14th, 2014.
First of all, if you are into funk at all, download Sweet Nasty. Period.
Agori Tribe was birthed in 2008 by founding members Sean Naughton, Will Nicholls and David Collins, while attending high school in Germantown, Tennessee (a suburb of Memphis). Naughton had been jamming with both Nicholls and Collins separately, and one day, they decided to all three get together. They knew after that first session that they wanted to form a band together. Keyboardist Dave Hash joined the band in 2009, and bassist Jeffery Naylor rounded off the current lineup in 2013.
While NASCAR superstar and eleven-year running fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. captured an irrelevant win last weekend at Martinsville Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. was hard at work racing down the road. The first leg of the glam-pop duo's fall tour culminated in a voracious three-band onslaught at the Fox Theatre in The People's Republic of Boulder, Colorado.
Last weekend Greensky Bluegrass hosted two sold-out shows at The Odgen Theater in Denver, Colorado. The shows were nothing short of spectacular - with killer sets that match the energy and skill Greensky fans love. The two performances showcased their new album, If Sorrows Swim, released last September. On Friday, Greensky mixed a few of those new songs with old songs, and a few old classics to boot.
It all started back in 1960 when the folk craze was happening. People didn't know the difference between real folk music and popular folk music. The whole thing was pushed by the commercial success of groups like The Kingston Trio. Those were folk songs, but they were commercialized and popularized so they sounded like pop music. Much more compared to the Appalachian versions of those same songs.
It's been a successful 2014, all around for RAILROAD EARTH, whose latest release, Last Of The Outlaws, seems to have endless legs.
There are moments in time when a word or thought has such power it changes history; a generation so involved in the moment it becomes unstoppable; a spiritual awakening so profound that its very conception shatters perceptions, halts the world and makes people from all nations take notice.
Bear Creek Music & Art Festival has released the schedule for the eighth annual event taking place November 13th – 16th, 2014 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, FL. Steeped in the tradition of New Orleans and New York funk music, Bear Creek's exceptional line-up also showcases the eclectic nature of the scene; encompassing genre-defining performers in world and roots music, live electronic, rock, and everything in between.
Euphoria Music Festival, a now three-day music and camping festival, will be returning to Austin, Texas this April 10 - 12, 2015. The festival will be returning to the Carson Creek Ranch for a second straight year, offering expanded camping options and enhanced amenities. Attracting groundbreaking talent, some of music's biggest artists have turned Euphoria into one of the leading electronic/rock music festivals in Texas and throughout the Southwest.

The Pendulum Swings: Dodd-Frank's Impact on the Housing Market

Electronic Transactions: When Email Becomes a Contract

Reservoir simulation studies require good knowledge of permeabilities, but reliable measurements are only available from laboratory core tests. These are usually taken from a small percentage of wells. Frequently, this information is extrapolated to calculate permeabilities over the field, but insufficient data points usually cause unreliable predictions. This article proposes a method to estimate formation permeabilities from standard well logs and core data. The method should be applicable to any reservoir as long as sufficient core and log data are available. The method assumes that the Carman-Kozeny equation holds for the reservoir rocks, which is a fairly reasonable assumption, and that the available well logs contain intrinsic information on tortuosity, sand size distribution, cementing characteristics, etc., which ultimately determine flow performance.
This hypothesis is usually strong because the available logs are not able to fully read the physical phenomena that cover the complex dynamics of flow through reservoir rocks. The method was tested in a sandstone formation in Chihuido de la Salina, Neuquen basin, Argentina. Some core data points were not used to train the neural network and were subsequently useful for validation and comparison. In spite of certain drawbacks, the method was shown to outperform both standard-regression and hydraulic-flow-unit approaches.

Im thinking about SIMS here but it may be relavant to other MIS's.
We are looking at our backup regime very closely. Also thinking ahead to central hosting next year.
How long to keep the backups? Restoring anything over a couple of days IMHO is not desirable do to the amount of data input during time after the backup was taken.
We keep about approx 10 days worth (not weekends) on the secondary disk of the ancient servers. 8 backups on a central backup server.
What about the summer holiday? My arguement is that as the database is still being backed up each week day backups older than the 6 week holiday would not be necessary.
There is talk of saving 6 months worth of backups, I see no point in restoring this far back.
Arguements for and against and suggestions most welcome. I see this as a big problem and both separate and different to the usual system backups.

Sirius Xm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIRI)
A leading provider of satellite radio, Sirius XM Radio broadcasts channels ranging from Springsteen to Pavarotti, from Disney to Stern, from Nascar to Oprah.
Earnings are roughly $400 MM (after adjusting for the $3B income tax adjustment a few quarters ago), so $20B is a pretty high multiple of that. That would imply some pretty aggressive growth prospect, but I'm not sure what that would be. Satellite radio is not likely to be a growth industry over the next 10 years, and their other markets are pretty small.

Gold Down; Traders Move to Stocks
Sharma also thinks the gold market is crowded and that people are too bullish, but believes in long-term higher gold prices. "For investors who have no gold right now I have one simple question for you -- what are you thinking?" Sharma says. Sharma recommends adding to a core position on price dips.
Silver prices settled 27 cents higher at $19.94 while copper closed flat at $3.50.
Gold mining stocks, a risky but potentially profitable way to buy gold, were mixed. AngloGold Ashanti (AU) was up 0.18% to $43.93 while Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) was up 1.87% to $78.40. Other gold stocks New Gold (NGD) and Gold Fields (GFI) were trading at $6.38 and $14.62, respectively. Goldcorp (GG) announced this morning that it will buy Andean Resources, a precious metal explorer with a gold deposit in the Andes, for $3.4 billion. The project in Santa Cruz has 3.1 million ounces in gold resources and 25 million ounces of silver. Shares were trading almost more than 2% lower at $42.76. -- Written by Alix Steel in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/adsteel.

With their extended operating voltage range from 2.3 to 3.6V, extremely low power consumption, small-footprint packaging, and fixed super-fast program and erase times, these SPI Flash memory devices excel in a variety of applications. The memory is partitioned into uniform 4 Kbyte sectors, and 32 and 64 Kbyte blocks, offering flexible erase capabilities and seamless partitioning for program and data code in the same memory block. All three devices enable designers to reduce their overall product design cycles and total system costs while improving product performance. The extended voltage range provides designers with a wider set of options on the power-supply voltage for their chipsets and board designs, and reduces overall power consumption, making these memory devices especially well suited for battery-operated accessories, sensors and equipment.
The SST25PF020B, SST25PF040B and SST25PF080B SPI Flash devices offer flexible erase and program performance, including erasing sectors and blocks as fast as 18 ms, erasing the entire Flash memory chip in 35 ms, and a word-programming time of 7 µs using Auto Address Increment (AAI). The devices also offer superior reliability of 100,000 endurance cycles, typical, and greater than 100 years of data retention. The active read current of these devices is only 10 mA, typical, at 80 MHz, and standby current is only 10 µA, typical.
All three devices excel in a broad range of applications, including those in the consumer-electronics and industrial markets. Examples of ideal end applications include smart meters, wireless products for sports/fitness/health monitoring, digital radios, low-power Wi-Fi ® products, GPS, and a wide array of battery-operated products. Additionally, these SPI Flash memory devices are well suited for use in medical applications, such as glucose meters, hearing aids and wireless sensors."Newer designs requiring greater mobility, along with more compact form factors, are driving lower-power and extended-voltage requirements," said Randy Drwinga, vice president of Microchip's SuperFlash Memory Division. "With their extended voltage, smaller footprint and low power consumption, this SST25PFXXXB SPI Flash family provides designers with even simpler, more economical and more innovative memory solutions for their embedded designs."

Verizon Digs Deep for Terremark
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Verizon Communications (VZ) showed it's serious about making an aggressive push into cloud computing Thursday, agreeing to acquire Terremark Worldwide (TMRK) for $1.4 billion in cash.
The deal values Terremark shares at $19 each, a premium of 35% to the stock's regular session closing price of $14.05, and 28% above a 52-week high of $14.85 set on Jan. 12. Terremark shares had risen more than 60% in the past year prior to the deal's announcement, which sent them as high as $19.28 in brisk after-hours action.
Verizon, a Dow component whose stock is up 22% over the past 52 weeks, said it plans to conduct a tender offer for Terremark's common shares from Feb. 10 through Feb. 17. Completion of the transaction remains subject to the valid tender of the majority of Terremark's stock, as well as other customary closing conditions.
"This transaction will accelerate Verizon's "everything-as-a-service" cloud strategy by delivering a powerful portfolio of highly secure, scalable on-demand solutions to business and government customers globally through a unified enterprise IT platform and unique business cloud offerings that leverage the companies' collective strengths," Verizon said in a press release after the closing bell.Upon closing the deal, Verizon said it expects to operate Terremark as a wholly owned unit and retain its brand name. Based in Miami, Terremark operates data centers in the United States, Europe and Latin America, providing managed information technology services, including hosting, disaster recovery, security and colocation. The company reported a loss of $7.7 million, or 12 cents a share, on revenue of $84.9 million for its fiscal second quarter ended in September. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was up 28% year-over-year in the quarter to $22.9 million. Terremark is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter results on Feb. 9. The current average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for a loss of 10 cents a share in the December period on revenue of $90.8 million. -- Written by Michael Baron in New York.

text: Interesting thing happened at the GOP presidential debate. The candidates were asked if any of them didn't believe in evolution, and Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo, and Mike Huckabee raised their hands. Are these candiates saying they don't agree that evolution exists at all, or just that it's not responsible for humans and other advanced species? Are there people who don't believe that evolution happens at all?

Man charged in Elizabethtown police standoff
Updated On: Apr 08 2013 02:48:21 PM EDT
Police said they have charged a Lancaster County man with one count of terroristic threats following a standoff with officers.
Police said they were called to the first block of South Market Street in Elizabethtown after a neighbor reported hearing a gunshot from inside 53-year-old Kirk Goldinger's apartment.
Officers got the man on the phone, but he quickly hung up, refusing to talk, police said.
Then the Lancaster County SERT team was called to the scene and the rest of the apartment building was evacuated, police said.
Goldinger was taken into custody about 11:15 p.m. Sunday and taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation. He was later released.

Jews on Stamps
The postal history of Israel builds upon the centuries-long
development of postal services in Palestine. During
the rule of the Mamluks, mounted mail service was
operated in Deir el-Balah, Lydda and other towns on
the Cairo to Damascus route.[2] During the Ottoman
period, postal services relied upon Turkey's stamps
(Palestine FAQ). Foreign consulates set up the early
post offices.[3] During World War I, the British Egyptian
Expeditionary Force occupied Palestine and demarcated
stamps as "E.E.F." in 1918.
the British mandate, postage stamps and services were
provided by British authorities. From 1933-1948, mandate
services included airmail stamps[4] and, as an innovation,
air letter cards. British postal offices and operations
were, in part, turned over to the Israeli government.
In May 1948, as the British withdrew and postal services
broke down, the provisional government issued overprints
on Jewish National Fund stamps and ad hoc postage
was created in Nahariya and Safed.

In 1995, this crossover from Marvel Comics among the X-Titles began when Legion, son of Professor Xavier, travelled back in time to kill Magneto, but ended up killing his own father instead. This story, itself a minor crossover called Legion Quest, led to the main Age of Apocalypse crossover.For four months the X-titles were replaced by miniseries that took place in the Alternate Universe that had come about for want of an Xavier. This Bad Future Villain World was a dystopian Crapsack ruled by the titular Apocalypse, where heroes were villains, villains were heroes, and Anyone Can Die. The non-mutant comics weren't part of the crossover, though a two issue miniseries X-Universe did show what happened to the non-mutant Marvel heroes in the new history. Scott Lobdell directed the overall story arc and some of Chris Bachalo's best work is featured in this series. The series were renamed as follows:

Here are the key findings:
(1) Men's T levels increased by 36% when in the sex club.
(2) Men who participated in sexual activities had an increase of 72% in their T levels whereas those who only watched had an 11% increase in theirs.
(3) Contrary to the authors' prediction, T increases were not correlated with men's ages.
Note that two of the authors are women. Hence this study can't be a manifestation of "sexist male evolutionary psychologists" seeking to justify male promiscuity (unless of course the female scientists were "brainwashed" or "coerced" into conducting this study by the evil patriarchy).
Incidentally, in one of my earliest posts (see here), I discussed a study that I had conducted with John G. Vongas wherein we investigated the effects of conspicuous consumption (e.g., driving an expensive Porsche in downtown Montreal) on men's testosterone levels. This work has since been published in a special issue on the biology of business in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes (see here for the abstract).
