China's Rare Earth May Become a Bit Less Rare
TAIPEI, Taiwan ( TheStreet) -- It's just a token, even if the token might be made from dysprosium.
China's Ministry of Commerce said last week it would raise the maximum amount of rare earth element exports by 2.7% this year. That means more shipments of prized industrial-use chemicals that are ensconced in China's subsurface rocks and are hard to separate out.
The higher export quota equals 30,996 metric tons of rare earth materials, a term that refers to 17 different elements that are hard to find or process outside China.
In theory, manufacturers from defense to electric vehicles should cheer the news, as China had set off a panic by restricting rare earth exports earlier. The industry and foreign trade reps viewed China's curbs from 2005 as a move to protect its reserves. Countries such as the U.S. have complained to the World Trade Organization that China is hoarding rare earth elements.End users may find it easier to get those elements (Beijing will even hold prices stable, analysts believe), but the kinder export quota will make little impact over the next two to eight years as offshore competitors -- potentially solid investments -- have already started to develop better processing technology. Today China not only produces most of the world's rare earth materials, estimated at 95% of the total, it also operates the most advanced machinery to separate those elements from the earth itself and to process them. Automakers in Japan including Toyota Motor (TM) should gain from Beijing's export quota increase as they need the materials to produce hybrid vehicles. A handful of importers in France and Germany may welcome China's move for the same reason. But those buyers may ultimately turn to foreign firms that are developing cleaner, more cost-effective means to separate rare earth elements, refine them or use them in the production of metals. Although China's technology leads today in these departments, players in Australia, Germany and the U.S. are catching up. Jack Lifton, co-founding principal of U.S. market intelligence firm Technology Metals Research, has become a rare expert in the small but fast-changing field. After China made its announcement last week, Lifton wrote this to me in an email: "The Chinese 'increase' in export quantities is trivial and unimportant to the most important rare earth 'processors' and refiners or metal makers outside of China."

Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Macedonia will accept a 130 million- euro ($177.3 million) loan from Deutsche Bank AG and Citibank, backed by a World Bank guarantee, to finance its 2012 budget gap.
The World Bank guarantee helped the former Yugoslav republic "obtain cheaper borrowing from commercial lenders," Finance Ministry spokeswoman Ivana Bilbilovska said today, a day after the government asked lawmakers for approval.
Central bank Governor Dimitar Bogov said on Oct. 26 the government was likely to get 30 million euros from the World Bank and use the money as a guarantee for debt issuance of as much as 150 million euros.
Deutsche Bank and Citibank offered a loan "with a five- year maturity and an interest rate of 4.25 percent," the ministry said in a statement on its website. The government will pay an additional 0.5 percent in fees to the World Bank for the guarantee, with a total cost of borrowing not exceeding 4.8 percent. Parliament has 30 days to approve the plan.
Macedonia, whose economy has been hurt by the debt crisis in Europe, plans a fiscal gap equivalent to $279 million, or 2.5 percent of GDP, according to its 2012 draft budget. It will rely on a 28 percent increase in capital spending and more investment in infrastructure to boost growth next year to 4.5 percent, up from 3.5 percent in 2011. Inflation should be 2.5 percent.
The Finance Ministry's macroeconomic forecasts show the country expects an increase in foreign direct investment inflows next year to 480 million euros, from 370 million euros this year. That will be sufficient to finance an expected current- account gap of 464 million euros.

Carphone Warehouse pegs the Samsung Galaxy S III price at $809 with a free Galaxy Tab 10.1
Carphone Warehouse launched an exclusive preorder for the new Samsung Galaxy S III, and the preorder price is 499.95 pounds sterling, translating to about $809.
The retailer throws in a free Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet for the first 1000 customers that order on a pay-monthly basis, as well as a screen protector and car charger, so you can't really beat the deal.
Amazon Germany has updated its Galaxy S III page with the real specs, not the preliminary ones it had for the placeholder, but the preorder price is still kept at 600 Euros, or about $790.
What's in Euros over at the Old Continent usually arrives in the US with the same price in dollars, so we might be looking at the SIM-free price of an unlocked Galaxy S III to be in line with other flagships like the HTC One X, i.e. hovering a tad above the $600 mark. Expansys USA also has it on preorder, but doesn't list a price for now. Carrier subsidies will, of course, knock the price to the usual bearable levels.

Using a site rite ultrasound. HELP
- 0Jan 5, '11 by HyperRNRachelI've won the nursing lottery! After being burned to a crisp as a 7p-7a ER nurse for the last 4 years, I was offered an incredible day position in the cath lab working 8 hour shifts 5 days a week. The position is awesome! The hospital is awesome! It's a small hosital with a one room cath lab. Since there can be "down time" I am also being trained on PICC line insertion and LOVE IT. The set up is time consuming, but I'm comfortable in that area but I'm having one small problem- (haha only the most important part). I'm having a difficult time keeping my vein centered while attempting to access. Any advice, pointers, suggestions, thoughts or help is much needed. Are there any training aids, books, or classes that I should be looking into?
- 0Jan 9, '11 by BethGCRNIWhen I first started placing PICC's I had the same trouble. I had to learn to use my non dominant hand to situate the probe and my dominant hand to stick. It took several insertions to get the feel of it. Good luck to you. The more insertions you perform the easier it becomes.
- 0Jan 10, '11 by iluvivtYes it is more difficult than it looks and takes quite a bit of practice and hand-eye coordination. Here are a couple of things that I teach new PICC insertors.
1. Hold the probe at the base of it so your non-dominant hand is against the pts skin. That way your hand is against a surface and does not move as as much. You will then just have to move it from side to side to relocate the vein once you have applied the sterile probe cover . Just prior to venipuncture check your hand position. Hold the probe flat to the skin
2 What really helps me is to have the pts arm as flat as possible so you are not sliding around. I tend to need the HOB down as much as possible and prop the arm under clean towels. I get the patient in the position I need prior to draping..then once sterile I can make slight adjustments.
3 Use your dot markers..that will help you so much.....lining up from the start saves you a whole lot of grief during the insertion. Are you using a needle guide b/c the advice I would give will be a bit different.
4 Get your target vein in the center of the US screen...so use your depth markers...this is where the vein can be seen the best
5. Make your venipuncture fairly close to the middle notch on the probe cover so you will be able to see the needle..advance the needle slowly...scan up to see the tip if needed..not side to side...look for the needle tip as it approaches the target vessel..look for the vein indent...I do not not always see this..but I usually can see the needle tip...I think you know the rest. practice holding the probe cover and needle study while you look up at the screen. Advice your pt to hold very still during this part..a moving pt makes this very difficult

Just bought it. The Gamestop app is pretty retarded for Stream games. Once you install it and logon, you click in the install link for each DLC. But then it actually doesn't install anything and you have to click on another button which reveals the code to activated on stream.
Would have been so much easier if they'd just email you the steam codes to begin with...

*cry* I just bought Dragonborn yesterday after waiting for it to go on sale for PC. I thought 20% was better than full price, but this is better. Ah crumb.
Aaaannyway, for those who have not bought it, I can tell you after 8 solid hours I'm enjoying it greatly and highly recommend it. I got Dawnguard at a post-release sale price a while ago and was very happy with it as well and also recommend it. Hearthfire...no thanks, I already have kids and a mortgage IRL, why in the world would I want to do it digitally?
Ozzie4 ( ) Apr. 15, 2013 at 2:43pm
Dragonborn ratchets the difficulty up quite a bit. I actually died (twice!) last night, once to a scourge lord. I was so shocked that I just sat there for a bit. It's damn good to have a challenge in a game I enjoy again. In Dawnguard, I was still able to sneak attack arrow-kill trash once in a while. In Dragonborn I've only managed that once. Solid expansion and a steal at $10.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: All Roads Lead to Navteq
Click here for an archive of Cramer's "Mad Money" recaps.
Navteq (NVT) missed earnings estimates by a penny two weeks ago, and the stock went down 10 points. "That's an overreaction," said Jim Cramer Tuesday on his "Mad Money" TV show.
Cramer applauded a Piper Jaffray upgrade of the stock Tuesday, but the stock is still below where it was the day after it announced earnings. "Maybe no one heard
Road RangeCramer is bullish on Navteq, which makes on-board navigation systems for vehicles, because it is the kind of "gadget" stock that fits his fourth-quarter tech rally thesis. Navteq is making inroads into the mass market, he said, as more and more lower-priced vehicles are equipped with the service. The stock also historically does well in the fourth quarter, he said. Additionally, Google (GOOG) uses Navteq's database to power its mapping Web site. Cramer said Piper Jaffray is predicting 30% earnings growth for Navteq. If that happens, "growth junkies" will return to the stock, he said. Commenting on GPS handheld-device maker Garmin (GRMN), Cramer said he believes the company is also right, but he's not sure where to do a 'mon back.* The stock got "shelled" last week, he said. "Navtech has less hair on it" and has the edge right now, he said. In response to a question about telecom GPS plays such as Nextel with its GPS phone, Cramer said he is not a fan of the telecoms right now. Sprint Nextel (S) is being squeezed by Verizon (VZ) and SBC Communications (SBC), which are spending fortunes on their systems right now, he said. BellSouth (BLS) has its "head in the sand." And, Cramer indicated that Qwest (Q) is a disaster.

A 14-year-old girl, 34-year-old woman and 81-year-old man were taken to the hospital in serious condition. An 11-year-old boy was taken to the same hospital in stable condition. All patients were in one car.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 70-year-old woman, sustained no injuries.

The Me And Alice blog is so charming with a lovely country home as the focus, located in Dalarna, Sweden. The homeowner is Susanne, a talented stylist and writer who infuses her home with many clever ideas that, whether Swedish Country is your style or not, you can still find some great ideas from some of these photos below because many of them can cross over and be applied in a home that looks very different – be it mid century or a modern ranch. If you don't believe me, I think you'll be convinced once you've had time to see for yourself…
The casual beauty of this scene makes me smile. It's my favorite of the bunch because it feels so inviting and reminds me of the naps I once took (when I had time!) on Sundays after spending the morning on the beach, coming home for a cool shower, and smelling like coconut and salt as I climbed into my bed for a cat nap. I particularly love the stripey pillows, without them it wouldn't be the same photo! I also like the black letters on the wall.
This is a vintage mirror from a car that has been repurposed into a makeup mirror. What a smart great idea for something that would otherwise not be used and abandoned in a junk lot!
Just look at these floors! I know they are your standard hardwood but look at that color and texture, it really warms up the all white space and how many of us would love to have them!
Using baskets to store vintage cutlery is a nice idea. You could do the same with your modern tableware too, especially if you have decided to serve a very casual buffet-style meal at home whether indoors or out.
Lovely storage ideas on this kitchen shelf but mostly I am impressed by the styling – very casual yet there was obviously some thought behind it. This is how I style things and decorate my home, casually but at the same time, you know that I put a little effort into the arrangement. :) I also like how there is a chair that tiptoed its way into the table arrangement, hoping no one would notice he has made himself a guest at the family table. Well, we notice him and I think he looks quite smart there, don't you? I like a little tension in mostly white space, you really need it!
I like the floor plans and various papers that she has framed for this quiet corner. There are many things in this space, but it doesn't feel cluttered because the tones used are mostly white so the eye perceives this as less busy than say, if there were many colors and patterns used.
So many goodies here, I spot several nice jugs and jars. I think the mostly white palette is a hard one to stick by, but if you love white and really enjoy living in a space with lots of it, then go for it!
Susanne's writing desk is such an inspirational spot! Storage in glass containers, while nothing new, always looks fresh to me depending on what has been chosen to be on display. From candy to shells, spools of twine to buttons, crayons, and bath soaps… there is no end to what you can collect, store and display! Her yarn basket is lovely on the floor, too.
While in Cyprus, Susanne gathered these beautiful stones and has now arranged them in a few glass jars – a simple, inexpensive yet special decoration because no doubt memories of her trip wash over her whenever she sees them. Much nicer than memories of buying stones at some department store and filling jars, right? I think it's important to put some extra thought in the way you decorate your home so that objects tell a more personal story. A jar like this also creates lovely conversation opportunities for when guests have stopped by because when they ask you where you found something that you have on display, you can tell them about your little (and big) adventures.
Any ideas above that you'd like to take away and use in your own space? Which ones? Could you live in a white space? If not, why? If so, do you currently?
(images: me and alice)
Here's a pretty room (or six!) to inspire all the bohemians and romantics out there today who like an open yet rustic feminine space. These photos are from the 1850's home of Argentinian couple Federico Bonomi and Cynthia Kern who run clothing company Kosiuko and currently live in Uruguay with their children. These photos are from Mixr in Sweden and I simply have to share them as the look is very unique and you may be able to take away some inspiration from the arrangements.
This casual home merging old with new looks like a creative center of activity, doesn't it? I love how it has some very elegant touches but that it also feels lived in and that it's not overly styled or designed to perfection. I also like some of the whimsical touches, like the mismatched tilework around the fireplace. I'm seeing more and more wood encased tubs lately, especially salvaged wood, and I find this inspiring and original.
These were forwarded to me by Emma who I had the pleasure of hanging out with in Stockholm a few years ago. Emma, thank you for these photos!
(images: mixr)
Looking through the pages of VTWonen is always a beautiful adventure for me. When I came back from the states, a fresh new issue awaited me in the mailbox and it filled me with pleasure as I examined its contents – so fresh and inspiring! I think the stuff coming out of the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden are super interesting and fresh — VTWonen is a Dutch magazine — and I delight whenever I see the styling work coming out of these countries… their take on interiors and objects is very creative don't you think? Here are some examples of what I am referring to… I'll take you through each photo with some of my own notes and ideas for you today.
If you carefully cut floral patterns out of your favorite wallpaper, you can adhere them to a cabinet like this one. Lovely! You can do the same with fabric.
You don't always need a proper coffee table, why not use a stool instead?
Try using buttons as hooks – this is a sweet idea, isn't it?
Do you knit? Why not knit up some socks for your tables, chairs or stools?
Try making (or shopping for) a quilt made out of wool squares? It's tactile and adds warmth to your home and to you during cold weather. While you're at it, why not be inspired by the wool squares and build a palette for your room? You can pick up the colors in the throw also on your shelves and throw pillows. Another tip: You do not need to place objects on ALL of your shelves… a little breathing room goes a long way as you can see above.
I'm not sure what is on this wall, but upon closer inspection it almost appears to be squares of plywood white-washed. If so, what a lovely idea! But that is not what attracted me to this arrangement — it's the patchwork throw rug on the floor. I am dying to either make one or buy something similar this winter. I love the idea of using a bunch of vintage kilim rugs in this way.
I guess you can call this photo the ultimate chair shot. I mean, c'mon — isn't this shabby-terrific chair to die for? I love it in all of its raggedy charm.
Hello pretty decor idea. Jars on a shelf with little sprigs of lavender, a walnut, some ribbon inside? I mean, this is so sweet, affordable and easy. I use jars for vintage photos of my family (see mine here) but this is a pretty idea, too.
A. Love how simple paper is collaged on a wall with a deer head sitting on top of the arrangement. The wall color is gorgeous, too. B. I love this piece of furniture, if you don't have something like it you can try the idea of simply painting a dresser gray and your drawer fronts in cream for a similar look. C. A branch painted white and used to display your kitchen utensils? BRILLIANT. D. I love the idea of using metal glass cabinets on top of tables to display certain precious things that you don't want little hands to grab at (or big curious hands to pick up!).
E. I really like the whiteness of this dresser with the hardware in white, too. Something about it is soothing… Though I'd have to add some pattern so perhaps I'd line the drawers with colorful wallpaper and paint the exteriors of the drawers in bright yellow so there is a little surprise when you open them. F. What a pretty idea for displaying your cherished jewelry! Put a jewelry tree and a pretty stem in a display box on top of your dresser. Lovely! G. Painting a wall a super electric color like this, then wallpapering a thick border around it like this one in a patchwork style takes a lot of guts, doesn't it? But with results like this, courage really pays off! H. This sofa almost looks like something a kid would have in a collage, almost futon-like, right? But with a beautiful patchwork wool throw spread across it, and simple surroundings that are quite neutral, it went from collage dorm to casual and chic. There is hope for a futon!
I. It can be a lot of fun to play around with scale as this example shows. What makes this arrangement work though is that no single item is the main star, they are all equals, so your eye just follows the arrangement with ease. J. I have come across a ton of these rattan chairs, in natural wood, before but the idea of spray painting one black never crossed my mind until I saw this photo. It really made the lines of this chair so much more pronounced and interesting. The massive rug is lovely too, the pattern is gorgeous in black and white. To create this look on a budget, I saw a round maize rug like this in Los Angeles at the World Market store on Fairfax in green/white, chocolate/white and red/white for only $19.99 and wish I could have fit it in my luggage — gorgeous! K. The massive pleated drum pendant steals the show but it's the table cover that attracted my attention the most with it's almost tie-dyed border and uneven hem. Fab. L. Plaid pizza restaurant wallpaper in blue and white? In a bedroom? Why not! This works, doesn't it?
1. I like the idea of displaying only white objects like this – it is very attractive and makes for a interesting, soft focal point. And if you happen to have a lot of white ceramic pieces like I do, it can control the clutter of having them spread all over the home by grouping them in a single space. 2. You barely notice a sofa with an outstanding throw laid on the sofa like this one. So if your sofa is a bit blah, try placing a gorgeous throw, scarf, or blanket on it neatly to draw the eye away from the couch and onto the bright, happy fabric that you love. 3. Show of hands, how many of you own this shelf/ledge from IKEA? I do! Most people tend to keep it white but this one is the hottest pink in the world and well, it's fun and interesting. So why not paint your shelf in a complementary color that will add a little spark to your space? 4. I really love it when people adhere their favorite fabric to those boring white pull-down plastic shades. It is so pretty to have pattern on the windows like this, especially for those who rent and cannot add color to the walls. It's a good way to bring pattern to eye level.
5. While finding a fabulous drum pendant like this one may be a chore, you can easily duplicate the look of this table by simply painting your tabletop in a rad color that makes you happy. 6. Do you have pillows and blankets that you could fold neatly and stack near your sofa or fireplace? If you never thought about it before, this pile of pretty things may inspire you. 7. If you want to add storage to your workspace, try arranging boxes and bins on a wall in a similar fashion as shown above. It's interesting to look at and will help you to enjoy work a lot more when you know where everything is! 8. A bright bowl with some favorite photos and postcards inside against a lovely tablecloth is sometimes all it takes to give a kitchen a boost!
I hope that you have enjoyed some of my decorating and styling ideas today as I was quite inspired by VTWonen and wanted to share some of my own thoughts with their gorgeous photography. Now I'm curious though, out of all of the ideas above, what stands out the most to you? What would you try at home? What have you already tried?

Good morning and welcome to a new week on decor8! I had such a nice weekend, did you? I spent Saturday out and about, hitting a flea market (my loot), eating at an organic cafe outdoors, grabbing a cone of ice cream and wondering a bit aimlessly… And then yesterday chillin' at a gorgeous beer garden on the edge of the forest near my house watching the FIFA games and couldn't believe how many people showed up – over 1,000 at a beer garden! It was a fun time and the weather was gorgeous – and of course, because Germany won, the crowds were going crazy screaming and chanting ole, ole, ole, ole! It really feels fun to be a part of the soccer craze, it's such a major event and so fun for me, as an American, to get into a sport that doesn't have such a major following back home. I also don't mind the whole beer garden setting while watching the games… that of course, makes the sport so much more enjoyable! How about you, what did you do?
I have a busy week ahead of me since I leave on Saturday for New York and have lots to do to prep for that. It will be fun to spend the 4th in NYC and to hit some of my favorite parks, museums and shops for a few days until Debi meets up with me and we get to work! Part of my work for this week involves grabbing another space or two to shoot while we're there since we have some more days added to our schedule. If you would like to have your home photographed by Debi Treloar (she shot the Emily Chalmers books and those for Mark & Sally Bailey, along with lots of other Ryland Peters & Small/CICO books) and if you'd like for it to appear in the Decorate book that I'm working on for Chronicle Books and Jacqui Small Publishing (it will be published in the USA and in the UK simultaneously, early next year), please email me with some pics ASAP (decor8blog{at}yahoo.com)! We are looking for homes that are inspiring, preferably in NYC or within an hour by train, and that have a personal, creative touch — homes with sweet details, interesting furniture, etc. — styles can range from eclectic to mid century, flea market, bohemian, ethnic, modern… We are trying to represent many styles in this book but they do need to be beautiful and book worthy!
We also could use 1-2 in Paris for later in July since we'll be shooting there — and we need one more in Amsterdam. Also if you know of any locations in Germany – I'm open to ideas and submissions, especially in Berlin. We have already completed shoots in London, Denmark and Sweden so those are all set.
Not all submissions will be accepted, obviously, but all will be considered so please don't be shy!
If used in the book, your home will be fully credited with your name and link to your website and of course, I will style the space and interview you as well so that we can grab some of your decorating advice!
I can't wait to hear from you!

Over the past several years the National Breast Cancer Foundation has provided funds to the Alabama Breast and Cervical Early Detection Program to help underserved women receive mammograms. Through this Foundation, the program is able to ensure women age 40-49 with no insurance and a low income receive free breast cancer screening services. Without their funds, women in this age group would not be able to access this life-saving service.

Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Olympus Corp., facing criticism by shareholders for paying advisers $687 million in its purchase of Gyrus Group Plc, concluded in a 2009 probe that it was "not able to discover any illegal or unjust points" in the fees.
The Japanese camera and medical-equipment maker's internal investigation was conducted by an attorney, an accountant and a professor, according to a copy of the report obtained by Bloomberg News.
"We were not able to discover any illegal or unjust points on the part of Olympus' directors in the payment of advisory fees, any careless mistake in the process of understanding the facts underlying the deciding of that payment, or any circumstances causing the deciding of that payment to be assessed as markedly unreasonable," according to the May 17, 2009, report.
Olympus said last week it was forming another independent committee to investigate previous takeovers. Nippon Life Insurance Co., the largest Olympus shareholder; Southeastern Asset Management Inc.; and Harris Associates LP had asked the company to respond to investors' concerns about takeover payments.
'Been Here Before'
Michael C. Woodford, fired as chief executive officer on Oct. 14, made public a PricewaterhouseCoopers report that said the company may face regulatory and legal scrutiny because of payments made to advisers in the Gyrus acquisition.
"We've been here before," Woodford said yesterday in an e-mail. The aim is "to push everything into the distant future, and get the current dazzling spotlight of press scrutiny off them."
The Tokyo-based company, the world's biggest maker of endoscopes, fell 11 percent to close at 1,099 yen, the lowest since 1998, at the end of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange today. The company has dropped 56 percent since Woodford was fired, erasing $4.9 billion in shareholder value.
Olympus, which started business 92 years ago, said Oct. 19 it paid $687 million in fees to advisers for its $2 billion purchase of Gyrus, almost double the 30 billion yen ($391 million) in fees that Chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa disclosed the previous day.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration Friday raised the national terror alert from yellow to orange, the second-highest level in the color-coded system. Attorney General John Ashcroft cited an "increased likelihood'' that the al-Qaida terror network would attack against Americans, either at home or abroad.
Ashcroft said apartment buildings, hotels or other "lightly secured targets'' in the United States. The attorney general also said terrorists might seek "economic targets, including the transportation and energy sectors, as well as symbolic targets and symbols of American power.''
He told a Justice Department news conference the decision was based on an increase in intelligence pointing to a possible attack by Osama bin Laden's organization timed to coincide with the hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Islam's holiest site. The holy period begins Saturday and ends mid-February.
The change in the alert level will trigger a government-wide increase in security precautions.
"We are not recommending that events be canceled,'' nor should individuals change their travel, work or recreational plans, Ashcroft said.
Even so, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge urged Americans "in the days ahead, take some time to prepare for emergencies.'' As an example, Ridge suggested that families devise plans for contacting one another if separated by an emergency.
"Terrorist attacks can really take many forms,'' he said.
The alert has been at code yellow, or "elevated,'' which is the middle of a five-point scale of risk developed after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. It was last raised to orange in September and stayed there for two weeks to coincide with the first anniversary of the attacks. The highest alert level is red.
Ashcroft said there was a "sound basis'' for the decision. However, he declined to go beyond that.
"This decision for an increased threat condition designation is based on specific intelligence received and analyzed by the full intelligence community. This information has been corroborated by multiple intelligence sources,'' Ashcroft said.
Other officials said U.S. preparation for a possible war with Iraq was also a factor in the decision to raise the alert status.
"Since September the 11th, the U.S. intelligence community has indicated that the al-Qaida terrorist network is still determined to attack innocent Americans, both here and abroad,'' Ashcroft said.
Ashcroft said the recent bombings of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, and of a resort hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, "demonstrate the continued willingness of al-Qaida to strike at peaceful, innocent civilians.''
He also said the global terror network could even try to mount a chemical, biological or radiological attack.
Ridge said that local and state law enforcement agencies, the nation's governors, many mayors and Congress had been informed in the change in the alert status.
"We're asking all these leaders to increase their security and vigilance wherever necessary,'' Ridge said.
Ridge outlined the threat Friday morning in a conference call with the nation's governors, urging them to increase their security efforts and discussing confidential security precautions. Ridge also plans to talk to congressional leaders and to several dozen business leaders who control critical infrastructure, which could include electric power grids, dams or nuclear plants.
The public will likely see some changes, such as delays at some facilities and events and some buildings will be harder to enter. Other precautions, however, will be secret and go largely unnoticed by most people.
Government officials have grown increasingly concerned about the likelihood of terrorist attacks within the United States as intelligence sources are reporting an increase in terrorist activity or "chatter.'' One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said this activity appeared to be peaking and was rivaling that seen before the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Officials are increasingly worried that al-Qaida and other terrorist groups might try to use chemical, biological or radiological weapons such as a "dirty bomb'' that spews radiation into the atmosphere over a relatively confined area. There is no evidence, they say, that al-Qaida has acquired nuclear weapons but there is ample proof that it was working with a variety of harmful substances.
There is also concern that individual al-Qaida member or sympathizers could attempt small-scale attacks, such as a shooting or suicide bombing.
The State Department on Thursday issued a worldwide caution to Americans about a greater risk of terrorism, including "suicide operations, assassinations or kidnappings'' as well as use of chemical or biological agents.
The reasoning behind Bush's decision was unclear early Friday. One U.S. official said there was no specific threat made, but the increase in chilling U.S. intelligence - much of it corroborated - led the administration to determine that there was sufficient reason to put Americans on notice.
U.S. preparation for a possible war with Iraq and Saturday's start of the Hajj were also key factors in the decision to raise the alert status. Muslim holy periods tend to raise jitters about terrorist activity among U.S. intelligence officials.

Flash boiling and not freezing?
Hey guys... I'm going to be leaving Lola thurs, fri and sat this week... which means I have to start pumping now (pumped twice this morning and got 2oz total, wahooo!). I make too much lipase and she won't touch it if it tastes bad... but, I'd rather not freeze any if I don't have to. Anyone know if I can flash boil and then just keep it in the fridge? What I pump today will be used thursday (and yes, my milk will taste soapy by then if I don't flash boil).
You should be able to. I'd go ahead; you won't be any worse off than if you don't do it.

On Wednesday, June 15th at 7:30pm, the AV Club and Music Box Theatre present Starship Troopers, the 1997 sci-fi alien war film from Paul Verhoeven, director of Total Recall and Showgirls. Nominated for both an Oscar and MTV Movie Award, the film bombed on its initial release, earning little more than half its 100 million dollar budget, but has since amassed a cult following and gained a reputation as a high octane satire on the state of modern warfare.
The cast includes future Bond Girl Denise Richards, this year's Tony Awards host Neil Patrick Harris, Jake "Son of Gary" Busey, Golden Girl Rue McClanahan, and Casper Van Dien, who would later reprise his role of Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder.
A.V. Club critic Scott Tobias, author of the New Cult Canon column, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterwards.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Rebuild of Win 7 what is the best way to catch up on WU's 100s+?
I have two Win 7 rebuilds to do... One has 200+ updates (incl Office 2010). The other a from scratch SP1 install (more or less).
I have had problems in the past with WU trying to do any more than 6-12; maybe 20 WU, at a time on a good day .
Should I proceed in ascending KB order? Or most recent first? Or in batches by Windows Product (Win 7, security, MSE, Office, Critical, Important, Recommended, etc) Is WU smart enough to work-around dependencies?
Finally, I have no idea how this particular anomaly happened but on my working-day HP laptop:
My ntdll.dll went backwards from Version 22436 to 18247. MS Support Tech couldn't explain this either. Even more curiously he went off to research it (chat session) and then came back with a whole different story line: WUs are encrypted, they are UN-examinable EXE files, etc. What??? MS does have a cross-ref in their DB about which files change with which KB? Something fishy going on here.
I had a bunch of system files change around Oct 19, 2013 (en masse - same creation time stamp). My WU is set to NOT auto-install so several KBs could be involved but I can't find out which one exactly. I can see "package" references in the registry and in \winsxs\ that show these files related somehow but I am not an expert at deciphering what happened.
Can anybody shed light on version "reverting" of c:\windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll and similar files? In addition to above "best way forward".
It can take longer to do completion WU than an original install! Some of these WU batches take 20+ minutes. Watching paint dry! Is this normal?
Thanks in advance!
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Professional x64 Linux Mint 16
Yep, the updates could take an hour totally normal, hide the updates you don`t want, then let it start.
You should be able to start the update installs ( all of them ) then walk away from the machine.
Install Microsoft Security Essentials last, it will stop the updates, because it needs your input. So uncheck it.
Then install it on your second round of updates.

Former Chhattisgarh chief minister and Congress leader Ajit Jogi is likely to be blamed for the party's inability to wrest power from the BJP, party sources said here on Sunday. Among the four states where assembly election results were declared on Sunday, Chhattisgarh is the only one where the Congress was not routed. The party won 39 seats – one seat more than the last time – out of the 90 while the BJP got 49.
Party sources said Jogi influenced the Congress leadership to give tickets to his loyalists who lost badly. And it is on this score that his rival and state Congress chief Charandas Mahant scored better because all four Congress candidates from his area — Korba district and Bastar — won.
Jogi's rivals within the party — including veteran Motilal Vora, Mahant and opposition leader Ravindra Choube — wanted to restrict his sway over ticket distribution and other poll-related matters.
Besides, Jogi preferred to campaign on his own, particularly in areas where his loyalists were contesting. "This sent a wrong signal among the voters as they thought he would be back as CM despite the Congress not having expressed any such intent," said a Congress leader.
Without naming anyone, Mahant said the defeat of former minister and party veteran Rampukar Singh, Choube and others indicated that there was sabotage within the party.
Jogi appeared to be in a joyous mood initially on Sunday, giving the impression that the Congress was winning. But by late afternoon when the results started pouring in, he was not traceable.
But his supporters held out till the very end.
Congress spokesperson Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said the party got 39 seats because it tried to project itself as a united house, which was not the case in the last two elections.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.


text: Explore Cambodia Fact file Where to go When to go Getting there Getting around Accommodation Food and drink Health Crime and personal safety Money The media Festivals Culture and etiquette Shopping Travelling with children Travel essentials Share Although strict Buddhists do have a vegetarian meal once every two weeks on offering days, Cambodians in general can't understand why anyone who can afford meat or fish would not want to eat it, and even the monks aren't strictly vegetarian. The best way to get a vegetarian dish is to ask for your order to be cooked without meat (ot dak sait) or fish (ot dak trei); in principle, most stir-fries and soups can be done this way. You might be told that the dish is "not delicious" without meat, and the waiter may also come back a couple of times just to check he's got it straight. However, to be sure that prawns, chicken, duck or even intestines aren't substituted, or that a meat stock isn't used, you'll need to specify a whole list of things to avoid, so some flexibility on your part wouldn't go amiss. Vegans will need to make sure that no eggs are used (ot yoh pong mowan) as these are widely used, but should have few problems avoiding dairy products, which are unlikely to be found outside Western restaurants. In tourist centres one or two vegetarian restaurants have opened, while restaurants catering for foreigners will also have more choice and a better idea of what being a vegetarian means. Read More

Neptune Orient Lines said on Wednesday it placed an order for 10 new container ships with capacities of 8,400 20-foot-equivalent units. The company also signed a letter of intent for two new 10,700-TEU vessels.
NOL said the total cost of the 12 ship orders involved is approximately $1.2 billion.
By The Numbers: NOL's APL Container Operations.
The company announced Tuesday it had secured a $150 million term loan from Overseas Chinese Banking and ING Bank. NOL plans to use the loan to finance ships it ordered in 2007, according to NOL spokesman Michael Zampa.
NOL, which refrained from ordering new ships during the shipping boom that ended in 2008, ordered the new ships for its container line, APL. The ships will be delivered in 2013 and 2014.
NOL said it is investing in new vessels to meet future growth needs and to replace vessels with charter agreements that will expire in the next few years.
The ships will be constructed by South Korea-based Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. The two organizations signed a contract for construction of the 8,400-TEU vessels in a formal ceremony today.
NOL posted a first-quarter 2010 loss of $98 million, compared to the loss of $245 million a year earlier, but said at the time of the announcement in May that trends were pointing to a return to profitability for 2010.
It said it was beginning to see the effect of a gradually improving economy and will be helped by rising rates this year.
It reported Monday that APL's year-to-date container volume was 39 percent higher than last year and that average revenue per 40-foot container equivalent unit for the year to date was 11 percent higher than last year.

Ugly Mugly Crowned World's Ugliest Dog
By editor
Originally published on Mon June 25, 2012 10:37 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Here's a contest we keep up on - the World's Ugliest Dog. And chosen this past weekend in California, the appropriately named Mugly, whose mug was deemed uglier than 28 other competitors. He's a Chinese crested with that breed's crooked snout and also stringy, white whiskers. Mugly was already the U.K.'s ugliest. His prize - a year's supply of cookies and a VIP hotel stay. Missing from the prize package - grooming accessories. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

A naive backwoods girl is determined to win over the snobby family of her new beau, a pilot whose crash-landing brought them together.
Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper. Grant plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from the facial features of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore (backlot sets were used). But don't expect the Master of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging!
An idealistic American ambassador to a small Southeast Asian republic is confronted with hostility in his host nation.

A secret investigator uncovers a murderer and an international organization in Switzerland. Starring Academy Award-winner Sir John Gielgud ("Arthur," "Murder on the Orient Express"), Patrick O'Neal ("The Way We Were," "For the Boys") and Joan Hackett ("Only When I Laugh").
Richard Cutter isn't like most insurance investigators. Instead of being equipped with actuarial tables, he's armed with a handgun and a dismissive wit. "Why do you carry a gun?" asks the exec hiring him to probe a case of multimillion-dollar insurance fraud. "It's more effective than a hammer," Cutter replies. Patrick O'Neal brings unshakeable sangfroid to the role of Cutter in this zigzag tale of corporate cover-up and death that's less Bond-like in its pacing and style and more akin to the methodical maneuvering of Harry Palmer.
Golden-Globe nominated and Emmy Award-winning Tony Randall ("Pillow Talk," TV's "The Odd Couple") plays Lorenzo Charlton, a stuffy tax investigator sent to the farm of Pop Larkin (Paul Douglas) and Ma Larkin (Una Merkel) to find out why they haven't been paying taxes. He discovers that the Larkins, instead of money, use a homegrown barter system. Overwhelmed by their complex economic network, Lorenzo drinks one home brew too many. Awakening from a hangover, he sees a vision of loveliness before him -- the Larkin's spunky daughter Mariette (Debbie Reynolds). Enraptured by Mariette, he decides to stick around and find a way to get the family out of their onerous tax burden. George Marshall ("How the West Was Won," "Destry Rides Again") directs this breezy romantic comedy.
Selected as one of the top 50 American films of all time by the prestigious American Film Institute, and considered by many critics to be Hitchcock's greatest film, this fast-paced thriller stars Oscar-winner Cary Grant ("Notorious," "The Philadelphia Story") as a Madison Avenue advertising exec who is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped by a group of international spies, headed by James Mason ("A Star Is Born," "Lolita"). After a hair-raising escape, he is framed for a murder he didn't commit and goes on the run with the lovely Eva Marie Saint ("Superman Returns," "On the Waterfront"). Famous for a wild plane attack and a harrowing chase across the faces of Mount Rushmore, this is quintessential Hitchcock ("Psycho," "The Birds"). With Academy Award-winner Martin Landau ("Ed Wood," "The Majestic") as Mason's evil henchman, this film is the rare combination of action, suspense and humor.

Package: dsp
Convert linear prediction coefficients to reflection coefficients
The LPCToRC object converts linear prediction coefficients to reflection coefficients.
To convert LPC to reflection coefficients:
Define and set up your LPC to RC converter. See Construction.
Call step to convert LPC according to the properties of dsp.LPCToRC. The behavior of step is specific to each object in the toolbox.
H = dsp.LPCToRC returns an LPC to RC System object™, H, that converts linear prediction coefficients (LPC) to reflection coefficients (RC).
H = dsp.LPCToRC('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...) returns an LPC to RC conversion object, H, with each specified property set to the specified value.
Enable normalized prediction error power output
Set this property to true to return the normalized error power as a vector with one element per input channel. Each element varies between zero and one. The default is true.
Produces output with stability status of filter represented by LPC coefficients
Set this property to true to return the stability status of the filter. A logical value of 1 indicate a stable filter. A logical value of 0 indicate an unstable filter. The default is false.
Action to take when first LPC coefficient is not 1
Specify the action that the object takes when the first coefficient of each channel of the LPC input is not 1. Select Replace with 1 or Normalize. The default is Replace with 1.
|Create LPC to RC object with same property values
|Number of expected inputs to step method
|Number of outputs of step method
|Locked status for input attributes and nontunable properties
|Allow property value and input characteristics changes
|Convert columns of linear prediction coefficients to reflection coefficients
Convert the linear prediction coefficients to reflection coefficients:
load mtlb hlevinson = dsp.LevinsonSolver; hlevinson.AOutputPort = true; hlevinson.KOutputPort = false; hac = dsp.Autocorrelator; hlpc2rc = dsp.LPCToRC; hac.MaximumLagSource = 'Property'; % Compute autocorrelation for lags between [0:10] hac.MaximumLag = 10; a = step(hac, mtlb); A = step(hlevinson, a); % Compute LPC coefficients [K, P] = step(hlpc2rc, A); % Convert to RC
This object implements the algorithm, inputs, and outputs described on the LPC to/from RC block reference page. The object properties correspond to the block parameters, except:
There is no object property that corresponds to the Type of conversion block parameter. The object always converts LPC to RC.
The NonUnityFirstCoefficientAction object property corresponds to the If first input value is not 1 block parameter. There is neither a Normalize and warn nor an Error option for the object.

Hey guys,
I'm hoping to take my first trip to Whistler this summer to ride the bike park for a couple of days. I'm not looking to ride any of the double black trails- mainly just trails like crank it up, b-line, etc... I have a new SB-66c with Easton havocs, fox 36 160mm, and XT brakes. I'll probably stick some minion 2.5s on before the trip. Think I'll have fun on this setup?
