Interactive Data's OTC Derivatives Valuations Service Now Used By Wide Range Of Financial Institutions
Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC), a leading provider of financial market data, analytics and related solutions, today announced that its valuations service for complex OTC derivatives and structured products, offered in conjunction with Prism Valuation, is now being used by more than 25 major international financial institutions.
A wide range of institutional clients around the globe, including custodians, asset managers, hedge funds and sell-side firms, subscribe to this valuations service, which offers a high level of transparency and broad coverage. Transparency reports provide a breakdown of the method used to achieve a given valuation for each deal, including a detailed discussion of the models and calibration strategies selected. This level of transparency can help clients comply with current regulatory and auditing demands. In addition, the service offers a discrepancy analysis, which can help a client understand the variations that arise from different valuations of an instrument, by comparing the client's in-house valuation with the independent valuation, and concluding with an opinion of the maximum valuation deviation for that product.
Valuations are available based on a wide range of underlyings including interest rates, FX, inflation, equities, credit, commodities and hybrids, and can be requested by the client on a per instrument basis. The service, tailored to clients' needs, can provide valuations for most flavours of OTC derivatives and complex securities, and new structures – such as loans issued under the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) – are continually being added.
Anthony Belcher, director, European Fixed Income, Interactive Data, commented: "Clients welcome the transparency that we are able to offer, as well as the flexibility of our service and the breadth and depth of our coverage. There has often been a high degree of uncertainty when performing valuations of complex instruments. We work with clients to mitigate this uncertainty by helping ensure that the service we offer helps to meet their obligations from the valuation, associated values and delivery standpoints. The service can also help firms perform functions such as independent price verification (IPV), product control and compliance. We aim to help customers meet their mark-to-market pricing requirements, while enabling them to understand the associated risks and sensitivities."

The intelligence community is about to get the equivalent of an adrenaline shot to the chest. This summer, a $600 million computing cloud developed by Amazon Web Services for the Central Intelligence Agency over the past year will begin servicing all 17 agencies that make up the intelligence community. If the technology plays out as officials envision, it will usher in a new era of cooperation and coordination, allowing agencies to share information and services much more easily and avoid the kind of intelligence gaps that preceded the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
For the first time, agencies within the intelligence community will be able to order a variety of on-demand computing and analytic services from the CIA and National Security Agency. What's more, they'll only pay for what they use.
The vision was first outlined in the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise plan championed by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and IC Chief Information Officer Al Tarasiuk almost three years ago. Cloud computing is one of the core components of the strategy to help the IC discover, access and share critical information in an era of seemingly infinite data.
For the risk-averse intelligence community, the decision to go with a commercial cloud vendor is a radical departure from business as usual.
In 2011, while private companies were consolidating data centers in favor of the cloud and some civilian agencies began flirting with cloud variants like email as a service, a sometimes contentious debate among the intelligence community's leadership took place.
As one former intelligence official with knowledge of the Amazon deal told Government Executive, "It took a lot of wrangling, but it was easy to see the vision if you laid it all out." The critical question was would the IC, led by the CIA, attempt to do cloud computing from within, or would it buy innovation? Money was a factor, according to the intelligence official, but not the leading one.
The government was spending more money on information technology within the IC than ever before. IT spending reached $8 billion in 2013, according to budget documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The CIA and other agencies feasibly could have spent billions of dollars standing up their own cloud infrastructure without raising many eyebrows in Congress, but the decision to purchase a single commercial solution came down primarily to two factors.
"What we were really looking at was time to mission and innovation," the former intelligence official said. "The goal was, 'Can we act like a large enterprise in the corporate world and buy the thing that we don't have, can we catch up to the commercial cycle? Anybody can build a data center, but could we purchase something more?
"We decided we needed to buy innovation," the former intelligence official said.
A Groundbreaking Deal
The CIA's first request for proposals from industry in mid-2012 was met with bid protests to the Government Accountability Office from Microsoft and AT&T, two early contenders for the contract. Those protests focused on the narrow specifications called for by the RFP. GAO did not issue a decision in either protest because the CIA reworked its request to address the companies' complaint.
In early 2013, after weighing bids from Amazon Web Services, IBM and an unnamed third vendor, the CIA awarded a contract to AWS worth up to $600 million over a period of up to 10 years. The deal, handled in secret, was first reported by FCW in March 2013, sending ripples through the tech industry.
A month after the deal became public, IBM filed a bid protest with GAO that the watchdog eventually upheld in June, forcing the CIA to reopen bids to both companies for the contract. A legal struggle between Amazon and Big Blue ensued, and AWS filed a lawsuit against the federal government in July 2013, claiming the GAO sustainment was a "flawed" decision.
In October, U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Thomas Wheeler sided with Amazon and overturned GAO's decision to force the CIA to rebid the contract. Big Blue went home, AWS claimed victory under the deal's original financial specs, and nearly 18 months after the procurement was first released, the CIA and Amazon went to work.
It is difficult to underestimate the cloud contract's importance. In a recent public appearance, CIA Chief Information Officer Douglas Wolfe called it "one of the most important technology procurements in recent history," with ramifications far outside the realm of technology.
"It's going to take a few months to bring this online in a robust way, but it's coming," Wolfe said. "And I think it's going to make a big difference for national security."
Securing New Capabilities
The Amazon-built cloud will operate behind the IC's firewall, or more simply: It's a public cloud built on private premises.
Intelligence agencies will be able to host applications or order a variety of on-demand services like storage, computing and analytics. True to the National Institute of Standards and Technology definition of cloud computing, the IC cloud scales up or down to meet the need.
In that regard, customers will pay only for services they actually use, which is expected to generate massive savings for the IC.
"We see this as a tremendous opportunity to sharpen our focus and to be very efficient," Wolfe told an audience at AWS' annual nonprofit and government symposium in Washington. "We hope to get speed and scale out of the cloud, and a tremendous amount of efficiency in terms of folks traditionally using IT now using it in a cost-recovery way."
Many agencies within the IC already have identified applications to move to the cloud. In a recent report, National Reconnaissance Office Chief Information Officer Donna Hansen said her agency had picked five applications, including its enterprise resource planning software, to migrate to the IC cloud. As with public clouds, the IC cloud will maximize automation and require standardized information, which will be shared through application programming interfaces, known as APIs. Amazon engineers will oversee the hardware because AWS owns the hardware and is responsible for maintaining it just as they do in the company's public data centers.

The company is based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England while in North America is based on California, USA.

In late 2007, the company was surrounded with controversy over what appeared to be its decision to censor the European version of No More Heroes, though it was later revealed that the decision was made by its parent company and the developer Grasshopper Manufacture to release the censored version in Europe unlike what was released in North America and Japan.[4]
In 2012, it was announced that they will open the Rising Star Games USA, where they will publish the North American releases.

I looked for information about ISPCONFIG3 translation but I didn't.
So, I spent a lot of time for a clean installation, discovering that Italian translation consists in just few sentences and words. Unfortunatelly, useless.
Italian people, of course, pretend an Italian speaking control panel.
Please, do you have any news about a full Italian translation file to import, or do you know what I have to do to translate IspConfig3? Thank you.
Hi antonweb,
it's very easy translate ispconfig to any language. Follow the instructions here:
Always export your changes and save them!!!Each update or new installation will overwrite your changes...don't forget it.

Several dozen police officers were honored at the Mesa Police Department's 14th annual awards banquet Friday night. Civilian employees and residents who went out of their way to serve the community also earned recognition.
Several officers took home the Medal of Honor, which is the department's top award.
Officer James Francis was honored for his actions on April 20 when he responded to an armed robbery at the Tempe Schools Credit Union, 2136 E. Baseline Road in Mesa. During the investigation, a pursuit began and shots were fired at Francis. Two shots went through the front window of Francis' patrol car, but he continued the chase until the arrest was made.
For their work in an Aug. 18 standoff on U.S. 60 near Loop 101, Sgts. Don Rudd, Warren Solomon and Lee White, and officers James Derivan, Ken Moushey and John LaFontaine received medals.
A police chase ended after Robert Floyd Miles, who had an infant in his car, crashed into a wall.
When he refused to comply with orders, officers fired a Taser, bean bag gun and a diversionary device before a K-9 allowed them to rescue the child and take Miles into custody.
Officer Dan Engle received the Medal of Honor for actions that date back to June 27, 2005, when he responded to a report that shots had been fired at Eighth Street and Country Club Drive.
After he found a man dead, Engle got in his squad car and continued west on Eighth Street. The assailant fired two rounds at Engle's car, penetrating his windshield and hitting him with shrapnel. Engle returned fire and the 22-year-old man was killed.
Also among the top honors is the Medal of Distinction, which went to officers David Enriquez and Travis Dangerfield for their actions on Sept. 21. On that date, they were dispatched to Sixth Street and Stapley Drive where they encountered a fire. They entered the home and rescued two children.
Detectives Domenick Kaufman and John Sharkey were named Sworn Employees of the Year for their work on the Barrington Estates quintuple homicide case.

How It All Began
20 years ago, on 17 April 1993, is when it all began - when Jill first walked onto a bear bile farm. Click here to read what - or rather who - inspired Jill to dedicate her life to ending bear bile farming - UNTIL THE CRUELTY ENDS
The Glasgow & Loch Lomond Animals Asia support group was set up in July 2011 The aim of this group is to raise awareness, and to raise funds for the vital work of the Animals Asia Foundation
We have three flagship programmes: End Bear Farming, Cat and Dog Welfare and Action Against Cruelty. Under these, we have many campaigns, including the Moon Bear Rescue aimed at bringing the barbaric practice of bear farming and the bile trade to an end. To find out more, and to read about the latest rescues, please visit www.animalsasia.org Virginia McKenna, co-founder of the Born Free Foundation, has written a poem about her visit to a bear farm - you can listen to an mp3 version of "The Darkest Day"
If you fancy getting involved, and can spare some time to help tortured bears, dogs and cats in China and Vietnam please contact us, or just come along to our next support group meeting. You don't need any special skills, just a willingness to help. We work hard, but have lots of fun too - check out our photo gallery!

China has accused the US of frequent cyber attacks on Defence Ministry and Chinese Military websites.
According to Reuters, China's ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said Chinese government websites get hacked 144,000 times a month. He reported that over 62 percent of those attacks originate from a US IP address.
The news comes following a recent Mandiant report which accused the Chinese military of funding cyber attacks on 141 companies. In the report, Mandiant linked a number of attacks back to IP addresses based in China.
Chinese officials fired back at the report by proclaiming that cyber criminals often bounce IP addresses off of Chinese servers.
At the time, officials said Chinese government websites are often hacked by people using US IP addresses. Military officials have said that the origin of the IP addresses featured in the attacks don't mean the attacks are from the US government.
Along with the denial of attacks, the Chinese government also recently reported that it does not have any soldiers currently engaging in cyber warfare. A statement on China's national defence website claimed that it only has soldiers running cyber warfare drills at this time.
Yansheng said that China's military is operating without a cyber warfare team in spite of other countries building up similar military divisions. He claimed China is still a long way behind the cyber spying capabilities of other countries.
"Compared with military capabilities around the world there is still a gap," he said in a statement.
News comes in the wake of the ongoing RSA Conference 2013. During this year's conference security research firm Sophos gave a presentation asking for enterprise to ease up on concerns of cyber attacks from the Chinese government.

Randy S.
The only reason I gave an average and did not rate this complex higher was because of the inequity of having a Read More utility bill that is added above the rent. The inequity comes from the fact that the heat is shared and no matter how much you try to conserve you have no control over how much your monthly heating bill will be. The buildings heating system is a very old system and the only fair way to bill would be to include this utility some way into the rent payment.

No one knows the benefits of air-supported sleep better than Comfortaire, the original air bed company™. After all, we invented our first air-supported mattress over 33 years ago. But we didn't stop with individual adjustablility for both sleep partners or the pressure-relieving benefits of air-supported sleep. We innovated our way to Attune Design™, the purest air support solution available.
Start with an amazing cooling knit cover keeps you cool and fresh. Nestle into our responsive Evellafoam™ comfort layer. Then, Attune brings air to the top of the mattress and extends it from edge-to-edge. The magic is in the air™. Body-hugging comfort reduces pressure points for less tossing and turning, relieves back, shoulder and neck pain, and delivers a great night's sleep. You wake rested and ready for the day. That's comfort for life®.
Individualized Sleep Experience®
You prefer firm while your sleep partner prefers soft. There's no need to compromise. Each of you can adjust your side of the bed for a perfect individual fit. Adjustment is easy—just the touch of a button. Best of all, your Comfortaire can be adjusted to always fit perfectly, even if your sleep needs change.
Synthetic latex foam infused with memory foam, green tea scented EvellaFoam™ delivers the best of both. It has the durability and resilience of latex, without the allergies, and it recovers slowly, like memory foam. EvellaFoam molds to you, providing excellent pressure relief, and offers cooling properties as well.
Feran Ice® Technology
Moisture transport is the key to keeping cool. When you begin to perspire, Feran Ice, with it's distinct hydrophilic function wicks away moisture faster than any other fabric. You stay cool—and sleep better.
Wf 7™—Whisperflo™ 7200
Our patented design combines the quick adjustment of a blower with the nearly silent operation of a diaphragm pump. Redundant air sealing means unmatched air retention. The Wf7 Whisperflo 7200 can inflate our mattress nearly 25% firmer than our previous air control system for an unmatched range of comfort choices.
Attune Design™
Attune Design is the purest solution for air-supported sleep. Attune puts your bed in complete accord with your body. Under a luxurious mattress cover, a layer of incredibly plush comfort conforms perfectly to you.
Edge-to-Edge Air™—Patented urethane air chambers go all the way to the edges of the bed for full adjustability across the entire mattress surface and 15% more air-supported sleeping area.
Air on Top™—When air is brought to the top of the bed, you receive the maximum benefit from air support, pressure relief and ability to adjust firmness on each side of the bed to fit each sleeper's needs perfectly.
When your body is in harmony with your bed, you'll sleep restfully, with less tossing and turning, and wake restored. That's comfort for life®.

You've heard of Inception, but have you heard of Samsung-ception? That's what we are going to call the subject of a new report from Geek.com that says Samsung will launch their own "stores" to reside within select Best Buy locations accompanying the launch of their highly-anticipated Galaxy S4 flagship.
The concept of the store-within-a-store isn't new to Best Buy. They currently host similar kiosks for Apple in certain locations. Those stores are designed to emulate the Apple Store with Apple's line of products on display and a staff separate from regular Best Buy employees. Given Samsung's recent moves, it's not all that surprising to see them take a page from Apple's book.
The existence of such Samsung stores within Best Buy stores, if they come to fruition, should help to alleviate any sort of strain the launch of the Galaxy S4 might place on the retailer. They will also help to draw further attention to Samsung's line of Android goods. It's unclear if the stores would remain in place after the initial buying frenzy surrounding the GS4 dies down.

This thread is intended to track Model S reservations.
If your reservation number is greater than the reservation number listed below, please post the 1) reservation number 2) region and 3) type: Signature or General Production.
Here is an updated collection of the numbers posted by members on various threads (i.e., these numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt):
S 249 (March 23, 2011)
P 3,446 (March 25, 2011)
R 218 (January 2011)
S 69 (March 24, 2011)
P 143 (March 9, 2011)
S 55 (January 18, 2011)*
P 448 (March 28, 2011)
Hong Kong
P 1 (March 23, 2011)
P 17 (January 21, 2011)
S = Signature Series (Model S)
P = General Production (Model S)
R = Roadster Owner/Friends and Family
* = On March 1, 2011, a Tesla member posted, "Got the following info from Tesla some days ago: In Europe they have reduced the Signature down to 500 and approximately 70 have been reserved." While 55 is a confirmed/posted reservation number from this forum, the 70 has yet to be verified by the actual European reservation holder.
I'm not sure that Tesla is using reservation #'s anymore. Heard some mention of that in the reservation thread at TMC.
that would explain a lot actually; anybody else know anything about this? Guess that would kill our tracking ability.
It could also be that new reservation holders are no longer 'innovators' or 'early adopters'. 'Early Majorities' are not as likely to participate in these forums. If so, the bad news is- tougher to track reservations. The good news is that we may have moved into more main stream buyers.
Yeah, if you are near one, visit a store, and see if you can winkle a just-issued res# out of a new customer, or the staff! No names required.
Latest info, afaik, is :

have you "deconstructed" the data in the shareholder's conference/letter yet?
Reserved 25 Feb 2013 and my reservation number is RN328601.
Blue, 60 kWh, air suspension.
Signed pre-delivery paperwork last night. Estimated delivery on paperwork stated "March-April."
Now to try to sell my current car..
bkc - did you get any other number than the RN? It seems Tesla is really no longer issuing sequential numbers??
Latest TMC EU reservation:
The #2891 reservation was apparently made on February the 23rd. (Norway)
Carefree- Yep.. just got an email after the countersign was complete and at the bottom it now shows "Model S #19,542 RN328601"
Not sure if this helps any with the overall tracking.
I'm in Texas by the way.
Thanks bkc - that does indeed help. Good to know that they still issue sequence numbers.
bkc - where did you find the sequence number?
I know I have seen mine in the past, was in the 19,000 range but can't find it anywhere now. I finalized 2/19, so I was just curious how many other people finalized in the 7 days between us. Would be a max of 542 since I was at least 19,000.
Very small grey text at the bottom of the "Your Model S paperwork is complete" email. It doesn't show up anywhere on My Dashboard.
Finally! A new res #. Thanks bkc.
I'll let Brian H and michiganmodels run the proper numbers, but it looks like 33 North America res per day since Feb 8 - 12,000 per year.
It is great that we finally got a res #, but the Feb announcement of Dec results taught is that most people who cancel don't tell us on the forum.
They must have changed the mailer in the last week then because I don't have it in the e-mail or the paperwork attached. I am pretty sure it did list it on the MyTesla section of the website but they got rid of that in the past week as well.
In Europe, got RN327598, sequence number 2853 on feb 20. Got an unofficial confirmation I will get my MS 85kw before January.
looks like they are eliminating the ability to track reservation rates. I always wondered why they let us track this information.
The RN is not useful or meaningful if you're wetware, not hardware. Computer tracking randomized, apparently.
It was supposed to represent the sequence of order processing and fulfillment. In practice it seems to come after batching of just about any kind in priority, though.
Sandman - reservations are only good as long as you don't make cars. With MS in production it is obsolete. For MS process will be : design car on line, place order & down payment, receive car. What will now be the key is order sequence, but I don't think TM will make that available, you will just get a delivery window.
Yep, I agree that the res # means nothing from a "when am I going to get my car" perspective. Just want to make sure I understand because I think Tesla made this change because they don't want people to have visibility into the order/res rate.
For example, if I know that as of Feb 1, that the reservation number was 19,000. Then I find that at the end of Feb the reservation number is 20,500. Doesn't that tell me that the number of reservations made was 1500 in Feb. Knowing that Tesla has changed the process to speed up conversion from reservation to firm order, can't we assume that Tesla received 1400-1500 orders in Feb? If I know that and I know the average unit price($72k-ish) for an S, then can't I estimate the gross orders entered for the month and also the book-to-bill ratio(assume 400 cars/week). 1600 produced for Feb. Book-to-bill below 1.0(i.e. 1500/1600).
If above is correct, isn't the sequenced res # very sensitive information that Tesla shouldn't be and shouldn't have been publishing. Thanks in advance.
Yes, even if you know gross orders, but we still don't know cancellations, which means we don't know net orders. The larger than expected cancellations for Dec quarter and March quarter was one of the reasons for the stock to go down.
@ sandman: +1
Maybe this thread should be private?
TM never published the info, but did issue #s to reservers - with the warning no production position was assured or promised. They then blabbed, and big ears listened (here and at TMC). TM employees confessed that the resulting guesses and graphs were pretty accurate. But things happened, and P1 got his car after P1000.
As for production, Elon said that knowing VINs would give the curious pretty decent access to that count, but that TM would not be providing them openly to the press, etc.
As for "sales", remember that TM books them only on COD.
Elon stated they could run all this year with no stores (but that leaves online orders, of course).
@Brian H - I think he was suggesting that there's enough momentum in the reservations to carry them over the 20k mark for CY13.
@Hills: Given that you finalize as soon as you reserve now, why would there be any cancellations? If you aren't ready to finalize, there's absolutely no point in reserving. Once you finalize, you can't cancel (or at least not without losing your $5000). There should be no cancellations going forward.
Any new numbers today?, bump!

Magnum Opus. A short yet thoughtfully-written thesis summing up your favorite new show/movie/game; one that will give the reader a concise idea of what it's all about, and which wittily points out all of its most endearing flaws and foibles. Surely all those who read it will think it the most clever mass-media musing since Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese. At long last, your fellow tropers will finally get to see what a charismatic and urbane person you really are. All you have to do is press the "Send" button and... Oh, Crap. A twenty-second lag followed by a blank white page. Quick! Click the Back Arrow. Click the Back Arrow! It's gone. Your carefully crafted entry. Gone... Cue the Big "NO!". Congratulations, your entry has just been eaten by the Electron-Eating Data Vampires from Dimension Q—strange, intangible creatures who lurk on wiki pages and forum boards waiting for some hapless fool to write full entries into text fields from scratch. Save yourself the frustration and do the smart thing: write out the entry into some kind of text-editing program and then copy and paste it whole cloth into the forum or wiki entry's text field. Thanks to TV Tropes' wiki-editing time limit, most folk who write long entries will go through the trouble of composing and saving them elsewhere. But occasionally, someone somewhere will view an existing trope, think of a quick example they can add, think up the most clever commentary ever written while entering their example into the text field, and press the send button—only to have the Data Vampires snap up their precious writing like a pack of starving hounds snapping up a sausage-covered kitten. It's brutal. It's unpredictable. It's unfair. It's... life... To view an example, see this. A quicker way to safeguard your edit is to highlight it, right-click it/go to the "Edit" menu, and select Copy, just before you hit "Send."note . Therefore, if anything goes wrong, you've still got a copy of it. Of course, you need to paste it somewhere pretty quickly. A similar thing happens in quite a bit of internet forums: most session cookies have an expiration time, so if you spend more than that time writing a big Wall of Text and then click the Send button, your post will be sent from an expired session, and therefore, it will be eaten by the Data Vampires as well. This can be usually prevented by selecting the "Remember Password" option when you sign in, which sometimes makes the cookie last forever. The epic battle against the Data Vampires, known to history as The Great Crash, must never be forgotten. However, it is not unknown, and not uncommon, for people to be gifted with the power to pry their entries from the jaws of a Data Vampire before it is swallowed whole. More often than not, it can be retrieved and sent by, rather than pressing the back button, hitting

Actually, it would perhaps be more fitting if I said YES, yes they are, and then go on to claim that the Brits are better at anything that involves saying things you don't literally mean. I could then claim that this is why they're so good at acting, and why they're always telling everyone that Americans simply don't get irony. Americans are too trusting, they say, too keen to believe in heroic myths to understand the wry aside, the spoof or the put-on, especially for comic effect. Only mean-spirited criminals enjoy the fruits of dishonesty, after all.
The British, being cynical and sarcastic by nature (did you see what I said about you in the paragraph above?), do have a natural flair for satire. There's a history of holding up a mirror to society and accentuating its least attractive qualities that goes back hundreds of years and takes in feverish talents like Hogarth, Dickens and Austen. Sometimes the satire is biting and cold, sometimes it's warm and encouraging, but if you want someone who can say a thing that isn't true, but also somehow IS true in a really profound way. You need look no further.
But before we start, let's consider one point of definition: satire doesn't have to be funny. Some of the most celebrated examples of the form—Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm—use unpleasant fantasy as a distancing tool so we can re-examine common ideas or attitudes. They may be preposterous, but they're not funny at all. On the other hand, when Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a Simpsons-style satire on the outdated, entrenched values of small communities in the American South, he peppered his text with racially insensitive language for verisimilitude. To this day there are people who consider the book to be racist, if not in intent, then in effect, and in a way, it has to be in order to work effectively. But the satirical barbs within the story are so charmingly hidden that they're not always easy to spot.
There are three principal forms of satire: Menippean (fantasy realms that reflect back on modern society), Horatian (skewering cultural moments of silliness using parodic humor), and Juvenalian (skewering everything, using abrasive and bleak wit).
Menippean satires
Gulliver's Travels and Alice In Wonderland are probably the best-known examples of the form. The wilder and stranger the events depicted in these books become, the more of a critique they provide. You can also throw the works of Terry Pratchett in there, and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, because it's an epic space journey away from an exploded Earth, but one with a lot of very familiar ideas in it. The Golgafrincham B-Ark (the middle spaceship of three evacuating a dying planet, containing only the people with useless jobs) is a perfect example, and one which would easily be filled today with modern equivalents such as social media managers, conference organizers and bloggers.
Of course, they're all British. But how about Star Trek? That's a fantasy scenario in which the space race is won by all of the nations on Earth, and then all extremes of human personality are projected onto alien races. Vulcans are the intellectual elite, Klingons are soldiers, and the Borg represent our fears about the dehumanizing effects of technology. Basically any science fiction that isn't a dystopia is probably some kind of Menippean satire. And yes, that includes Doctor Who.
Horatian satires
These are the kind of thing you tend to see most of in comedy TV shows. The key here is that the humor is playful. Think of The Simpsons, which, at its best, exemplifies what society should be, while mocking what it is not. Or Family Guy, which often comes across like a Horatian satire on The Simpsons. Huckleberry Finn is Horatian as well, thanks to that ingratiating tone and warm, fuzzy feeling amid all the shocks and unpleasantness. So are any comedies with hidden messages, like Dr. Strangelove or This Is Spinal Tap, The Producers or The Office.
Then there's the 1960s satire boom, as launched by Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller's gimlet-eyed deflation of British pomp, Beyond The Fringe. From there we take in the magazine Private Eye, the news review (in both senses of the word) That Was The Week That Was, and the snook-cocking songs of the Kinks. If the British have a reputation as satirists, it's because of this tradition.
The Thick of It, while sweary, is defiantly Horatian in execution because we're laughing at people being inept and harassed, not evil (with the exception of Peter Capaldi's Malcolm Tucker, and even he proves to have feet of clay). Worlds are not taken over; lives are not ruined. Scabrous it may be, but The Thick Of It—and its cousins Parks & Recreation, Twenty Twelve, The Modern Family and W1A—are only damning by implication: why would you let your country/company/Olympics be run by these idiots?
Juvenalian satire
This is where all the bile is hidden behind an iron mask. If there's an element of horror at the topic being discussed, that's a clue that it's Juvenalian. This can be hidden behind outrage (John Stewart is a master at Juvenalian satire, and so is John Oliver. Let's call that one-all. Oh, then there's The Colbert Report. Two-one to the Americans), disgust (Charlie Brooker plays a mean misanthropist when looking at the news media, George Carlin and Richard Pryor were less pessimistic, but equally scathing), caricatures (all political cartoons, all political impressions, and Spitting Image too) or black humor (American Psycho, Catch-22, and the breathtaking gall of South Park).
Here's a brief sample of Charlie Brooker in action:
Chris Morris deserves a special mention here. As the anchor for the news media satires The Day Today and Brass-Eye, he found himself a figure of genuine tabloid outrage when his 1994 Brass-Eye special on pedophiles (which was of course a satire on the news coverage of pedophiles, so all irony was lost) encouraged gullible celebrities to join a fictitious campaign called 'Nonce-Sense'. The sight of Phil Collins in a 'Nonce-Sense' hat recording an infomercial in which he actually says "I'm talking nonce-sense" is a hard one to forget. Of course, The Onion tread very similar ground—albeit in a less directly provocative way—and sometimes run into very similar problems.
Then there are the coldest satires of all, the chilling depictions of the inescapable evils of mankind such as Animal Farm, 1984, Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, and Fight Club. Jonathan Swift got in there first, however, with his 1729 essay A Modest Proposal, in which he suggested—with the pokeriest face in the history of literature—that destitute Irish families would do well to sell their youngest children to rich English families as food.
That's a tough peak to scale, let alone beat, so in the interest of international accord, let's just say that the more satire is celebrated, the less potent its effect, and call this one a draw between all nations, except Australia. That place is beyond spoofing.

Call it, "Revenge of the Nerd." But based on the barrage of fan mail and marriage proposals Gubler receives — not to mention major buzz in chat rooms and blogs — Dr. Reid's quickly gaining ground on the hunky likes of McSteamy and Sawyer. "It's pretty bizarre because I was stupendously awkward-looking up until about 10th grade," says Gubler, 26. "I looked like a flapper from the 1920s, with the body of a troll."
Gubler's looks aren't the only thing earning raves. As FBI profiler Reid, he's bringing a quirky new energy to the often-tired crime genre. Says Minds exec producer Mark Gordon, "When he came in to read for the pilot, we just fell in love with him. He's an original."
This week Gubler gets to flex his formidable — albeit slender — acting pecs, delving deep into Reid's inner demons. Ever since that bone-chilling post-Super Bowl two-parter, when a psycho killer played by James Van Der Beek pumped him full of Dilaudid (a prescription drug similar to heroin), Reid just can't say no to drugs.
"He's wondering whether he can even still function at his job," Gubler says. A chance meeting with an old archrival forces him to confront his addiction — with startling consequences. "I usually try to make Reid lovable, so this is killing me," he says. "I think fans are going to hate him, but [the addiction] makes him human."
Gubler has an inhuman knack for making the most out of any situation. When he was 6 years old, his parents got him a private magic tutor, and by the time he was 11, he was performing as "Matt the Hat" at parties all over his hometown of Las Vegas. While attending NYU film school, he was stopped outside a drugstore by a model scout — a serendipitous encounter that led him to strike poses for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs and American Eagle. "It was during a time when there were really emaciated weirdos modeling," he says with trademark self-deprecation. "It wasn't like they were looking for Fabio."
Shortly afterward, he scored an internship with director Wes Anderson, who asked him to play an intern in his movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, despite the fact that Gubler had never acted professionally. That eventually led to an exploratory visit to Hollywood, where, on a whim, he tried out for Criminal Minds — and the rest is prime-time history. "I've been ridiculously blessed," Gubler admits.
So what other tricks does he have up his sleeve? Gubler plans on writing and illustrating a kids' book, working on his satirical YouTube video series "Matthew Gray Gubler: The Unauthorized Documentary" and spending more time with "romantic interest" Kat Dennings (Catherine Keener's goth daughter in The 40 Year Old Virgin). And Matt hasn't hung up his hat: "I dream of taking a hiatus, getting a pseudonym like Mr. Baldini, wearing a fake mustache and going to a seedy hotel in Vegas to do magic tricks," he says. Now that's criminal.

Property Name:
Isaac England House
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
1000, Crothers Road, Rising Sun, Cecil County
The Isaac England house is a 2 1/2-story central hall plan brick house three bays across by one room deep, facing south. The entire structure rests on an uncoursed stone foundation and is covered with a medium sloped slate roof. The south facade is laid in Flemish bond with a single string belt course beneath the second story windows. The fenestration is symmetrical with the first floor windows containing 9/6 sash and the second floor 6/6. The surrounds on doors and windows are reeded with plain corner blocks. Louvered shutters are found on both first and second story windows. The central door has six raised panels with inset moldings and a 3-light transom. A boxed cornice extends across the main facade with a bed molding below. During renovations in the 1940s a late-19th century shed-roofed porch was removed from the front of the house and a one-bay covered stoop was substituted. The west facade is laid in common bond, with one row of headers for every five rows of stretchers. Isaac England's initials appear in a glazed header pattern on the west facade. The execution of letters is very irregular and probably due to an inexperienced craftsman who was not totally familiar with the primarily 18th and early-19th century practice of decorating the gable ends with glazed headers. Sash windows are found on both floors in the northern bay. The four-pane attic windows flank the interior end chimney. Plain barge boards close the end gables. The east gable of the main block is an unadorned common bond brick wall with a 20th century exterior chimney flue. The same four-pane attic window flanks the chimney. The two-story, c. 1800-1825 brick wing is connected on a perpendicular axis to the north side of the west wall. It is two bays across by one room deep. The walls are laid in common bond. Door openings are found in the southern bay of each first floor side wall. Windows in the northern bays are 6/6 sash, as are the second floor openings. An interior end chimney rises from the north gable end. A 1976 2-story frame addition is attached to the north gable end of the wing, which has 6/6 windows with plain trim, a slate roof of medium pitch, and a single-story screened porch across the west side. A glassed porch occupies the first floor of the east side.
The Isaac England House is a virtually unaltered example of a form common during the early 19th century in northeastern Maryland and southeastern Pennsylvania. This form is typified by Georgian floor plan, fenestration, and shape, with Federal interior details. The house has a central hall plan, three-bay front with central entrance, front facade laid in Flemish bond, and initials in glazed headers on the gable end--all of these are features of the Georgian period house in this area. This particular form, without the initials, remained in frequent use here until the mid 19th century. Inside, the mantels and other trim are Federal in style. The woodwork is well executed and exhibits a variety of examples of Federal-period work. The glazed header initials are a late example of a tradition that was fast fading in the early 19th century.

(CNN) -- Tokyo Governor Naoki Inose announced his resignation Thursday after admitting he received money from a hospital operator prior to his election last year.
"I have confirmed my determination to resign as Tokyo Governor," he said during a press conference after handing in his letter of resignation to the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.
Inose admitted to receiving 50 million yen (U.S. $480,150) from Tokushukai, a hospital operator involved in vote-buying allegations.
"I should not have borrowed the money," Inose said.
He said it was a personal loan and not in any way linked to his election campaign. He added that the money has already been returned.
"I have tried hard to demonstrate my accountability, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to clear away suspicions against me."
The governor was seen to have played a crucial role in securing Tokyo's successful bid to host the 2020 Olympics in September, The Japan Times reported.
"I don't want to further interrupt the operations of the administration as Tokyo prepares for the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics," he said at the press conference.
"I offer a deep apology," he said, bowing deeply.
It is likely that a special election will be arranged to choose Inose's successor in the coming February, according to The Japan Times.

Honda gets new Civic NGTC out on the track to defend BTCC title
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Feb 23rd, 2012 at 1:01PM
It's been five months since we first brought you word that Honda was developing a version of its new euro-spec Civic hatchback for competition in the highly competitive British Touring Car Championship. A month later, Matt Neal took home the title for the Japanese automaker behind the wheel of the outgoing Civic touring car.
