A lack of trust among euro-area members is preventing leaders from implementing a durable solution to the sovereign debt crisis, said Paul De Grauwe, a professor at the London School of Economics.
"The Germans don't trust the southerners, the southerners don't trust the Germans," De Grauwe said in an interview with Tom Keene on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg Surveillance" today. "As long as there is distrust there is also no willingness to allow others to decide about your fate. You can only do that if you trust each other, and that unfortunately is lacking in Europe."
Euro-area finance ministers meet today in Brussels after leaders agreed at a June 28-29 summit to ease the way to direct recapitalization of banks from bailout funds and to start work on Europe-wide bank supervision. Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker today urged Europe's leaders to forge closer economic union by overcoming nationalistic concerns.
De Grauwe said the European Central Bank is partly to blame as it has "waited so long" to intervene that "a lot of damage has been done."
"The problem is indeed that sovereign governments in the euro zone don't rely or cannot rely on the printing press like the U.S. government can, so as a result they can really run out of cash," he said. They end up "pushed into a liquidity crisis that can degenerate into a solvency crisis and somebody must stop that, otherwise these countries go down the drain."
The Frankfurt-based ECB last week cut its main interest rates by 25 basis points, taking the benchmark to a new record low of 0.75 percent and the deposit rate to zero. President Mario Draghi said the cuts may have only a "muted" economic impact.
"It's going to be difficult," said De Grauwe. "Of course it's only the ECB that can do it. The European Stability Mechanism doesn't have the resources to do so."

About three seconds into the first jungle scene in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the game encourages you to disobey its own rules. While your idiot sidekick urges you to explore and push forward, the leaves, the sheer density of foliage and the lighting - oh, that lighting - dares you to stop. And you do. Twisting and pushing the right stick into ever more improbable angles, testing, willing the graphics to 'break' - but they never do. Uncharted's foliage is so rich, so dense, so sublimely lit - your mind is fooled into thinking it's a real 3D object, passing the cast-iron test of any lighting model: thinking you could pop your hand into the screen and pluck objects out.
Same with Drake. His likeness is so uncannny, it's almost as much fun pushing him against bizarre scenery and rotating the right stick to zoom in on his face as it is actually jumping and shooting. And it's during one of these moments, that the symmetry hits you... the moment in Gears of War on Xbox 360 (Level 3), when it starts raining and lightning flashes and - dammit - you don't want to fight aliens but just push up close into AI soldiers and admire their fried bacon frowns in the dampest rain you've ever virtually seen.
Both games have the power to break their own structure with the allure, or distraction, of their visuals alone. In fact, arguably, Uncharted is the best looking next-gen game (full stop) *since* Gears of War - if not, in fact, better. The aching sunlight baking the cliff edge as you near the fort? Priceless. A moment of true transcendental beauty that sort-of makes you think games are capable of giving your mind a holiday - of providing glimpses of raw true beauty - rather than powering acres of grey FPS streets in another tedious WWII game.
But the likeness doesn't end there. Just as Xbox 360 mags (incorrectly) raved about Gears of War, we'd be equally wrong to elevate Uncharted to such a lofty pedestal. Truth is, both games, while stunningly beautiful, can't mask the underlying functionality, and repetition, of their gameplay skeletons. Within a few hours, you can see Uncharted unfold like a giant map... jumpy bit, shooty bit, puzzle, jumpy bit, puzzle, shooty, shooty... vehicle - and the pattern starts to fray at your will to proceed. Gears of War was worse - shooty bit, shooty bit, change of scenery, shooty bit, slight change of pace (the sound-detecting super-aliens or the bats felt like cut 'n' pasted gameplay spikes, rather than a genuine result of narrative flow). In Gears of War, it didn't take long to see a series of barrels, walls or sheets of metal in a quiet room, only to suffer the shuddering realisation you'd walk in, endure *another* massive scrap just like the last... then walk straight into another. Depressing.
Uncharted's shooty bits are the same, utilising a similar cover system imbued with the same joy-dampening sense of dread when you walk into an open area. Contrast that with, say, Metal Gear 3 - where the gameplay gets turned on its head every hour or so, enforcing periods of panic, dislocation and relief, and you'll see why we'd be wrong to hail Uncharted as a classic. It's incredibly polished, true, and perhaps the first glimpse of PS3's long term potential, but the gameplay's meat and potatoes - albeit of the finest pedigree.
Not everyone will agree. Not everyone on PSM3 agrees. But Uncharted, as the title suggests, is merely the first step on the path to something truly great. And that game may still be a year or two away...
Have a great weekend
p.s. Anyone finished Half Life Episode 2 yet? Case closed.

12.10.07 - Neil Goodman Whilst Holyfield continues his seemingly never ending fight against old father time; tonight he must also contend with the WBO Champion, Sultan Ibragimov. The champion, undefeated, toppled Shannon Briggs off his perch and in doing so added to his reputation as perhaps the sleeper of the division.. For Holyfield, this is a step up in class, compared with the journeymen he has been tackling in his most recent comeback. Whilst Holyfield may be fooling himself into think he is getting back into his old grove; many remain unconvinced. In his last outing he beat, once fringe contender, Lou Savarese. The bout, whilst entertaining, did not really demonstrate that Holyfield could get himself back into the world title picture. In spurts Holyfield put his punches together well and looked aggressive; however, these factors are countered by his inability to sustain the attacks and furthermore on more than one occasion Holyfield got rocked by uppercuts (by a relatively slow handed opponent). It is an awkward situation, whilst you have to admire Holyfields courage and persistence, there comes a point surely when one would hope Evander would take a long hard look in the mirror and say You know what, perhaps I dont need this anymore. A remember reading through one of my old boxing magazines a few months back and I read through the fight report of Holyfield versus Cooper. I am sure you remember the outcome, Holyfield winning (TKO 7), but even back then in 1991 there were suggestions that Holyfield was past his best. Holyfield has of course subsequently laughed in the face of his critics time again; beating Bowe and Tyson, blitzing Moorer in their rematch and extending Lennox Lewis. For every good showing though, there have been plenty of under par outings; the laboured efforts against Ruiz, Czyz and in particularly the trouncing by Toney. Look I do not mean to pour cold water on the last few embers of Holyfields fistic legacy; he is after all one of my favourite contemporary fighters. For the first battled against Bowe alone Holyfield should waltz into the Hall of Fame; what an epic fight that was! Tonight Holyfield has two or three goals in mind; these being to become the second oldest heavyweight champion in history, to become a world champion for a fifth time and also this being the first major step towards once again becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. Now if we take a quick trip to reality in Ibragimov he faces a far younger, fresher opponent and also one with a 80% KO ratio. I suggest that if Holyfield makes it past rounds 9 or 10, he might just be able to claim morale victory; but very little else. The biggest question remains; will Holyfield finally be able to accept that it is time to move on?

Portland, OR -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/22/2014 -- The life coach and corporate coach industry is booming, bringing in an estimated $2 billion annually. Personal and professional coaches seek to expand and improve their skills and differentiate themselves from competitors by becoming certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF), and New Vibe Training is offering a six-month certification program starting in February.
Module 1, Philosophy of Coaching, establishes a solid understanding of the origins of coaching. Students learn about the fundamentals of philosophy and psychology and learn about human behavior and personality types, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment. Course activities also allow them to practice what they learn through live practice acting as a life coach or business coach.
New Vibe Training Founder and Director, Carl Casanova, will expose students to key coaching knowledge during the two-day Philosophy of Coaching module. When asked what students should expect from the course, Carl said, "The purpose of module one is to engage in the essential ontological language, as well as deepening the awareness of assisting others in their purpose. We practice live coaching with each student and new learning in each unit. This course is designed as an in-depth exploration of the core motivational elements of being human and how to coach to make an impact on the world."
Module 1: Philosophy of Coaching will be held at the George Fox University Portland Center in southwest Portland on Friday, February 7 and Saturday, February 8, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. There are six modules total in the six-month ICF certification program offered by New Vibe Training.

6 Squirrely Ways to Save |
I came up with a few easy ideas to put a little extra money in the bank. Hopefully, if you aren't doing these already, these tips will help you squeeze a little extra savings into the bank, and if you are already doing them, maybe these will inspire you to create a few more ideas!
Rebate checks - I deposit any rebate checks that I receive into my savings account. The small numbers really add up. The few dollars that I would get from cashing those checks won't be missed if I never get them in my hands.
Checking nooks and crannies - Once a month, I check the places where coins and bills collect, such as the bottom of my purse, in my jackets, etc. I deposit all the money that I collect into my savings account. Sometimes, I find quite a bit. For instance, I just found $20 in an old purse the other day!
Just say "No" to spending coins! - I never use change unless I am at a yard sale. Even if I am at a store and the total is $8.02, I never give the pennies. Instead, I take that 98 cents and put it into my coin jar. Once that is full, I deposit it in the bank. Between my husband and myself, we deposit about $50 each month in change, sometimes more. That is an extra $600 a year in the bank!
- Keep your eyes open! - Keep alert and be on the look out for lost coins or bills laying in parking lots, near check out lines, vending machines or drive through windows. Even toll booths have tons of change laying on the ground. Even though these are small amounts, they do add up! You wouldn't throw away a quarter would you? Then why pass up that dime and those pennies you see daily?
Remember that no amount that you tuck into your savings account is too small. If you can set aside $2 a week from your paycheck and not more, that is ok! That $2 makes $110 at the end of the year. It's important to try. It is really rewarding to watch how all those small amounts add up! Even if it goes slowly, be proud of your hard work! It is paying off.

Re:It's not about innovation (219 comments)
The design is OBVIOUS.
this argument is invalidated by Samsung successfully carving niches for a 5" note, a 7" tablet, and phones with wider and taller screens than the iphone's. the iphone itself has also grown an extra row of icons in height. there are criteria regarding screen size selection that have outgrown the original 'human hand' argument.
Rounded edges. Wow. Not having rounded edges are uncomfortable in your pocket. Oblong, well oval or round phones are not comfortable in your pocket either and you'd also like something that doesn't use more space other than to house the required components, of which the size of the touch screen is probably the most important factor.
I too, have 20/20 hindsight. You also focus on the hardware design, and fail to acknowledge the blatant copying of the the IOS look and feel. it wasn't accidental, there are 132 pages which look at every aspect of the iphone with the intention to copy software features wholesale.
Most people handed the same components would come up with the same generic design.
This is precisely the argument, except the components were proprietary at the time. During the development of the phones in dispute, Samsung was responsible for mfg. parts for the iphone and ipad, including screen. of course they would have intimate access to the components ahead of the competition, which is how apple stays ahead. Samsung abused their agreements with apple, and were given an unfair competitive advantage./p

Tell him the Chinese and Russians are better than the Yugoslav, and are in higher demand. I would rather have an Sks than a 22 pistol, imo.
Feral cat waterboarder
I don't need No stinking signature.
Any input from our higher ups?
Any input cane?
The Walther's worth more, AFAIK. The real question here is the condition of the SKS. IMO, the SKS owner should cough up 200$ and some ammo if the SKS is in less than Very Good condition, 100 and some ammo if it's in Very Good condition, with all matching serials.
Wow I didn't think the trade values were that far off. The walther is in perfect condition and has night sights. The sks is decent and in a tapco stock so I'm assuming its been worked over.
Where I live in Ga. the SKS Norinco or Yugo sells in good used condition for $250.00 to $300.00. The folding stock will add $50.00 and the conversion clip will add $20.00 + 200 rnds ammo = $40.00 for a total of $360.00 to $410.00. Extra clips ??? Ever what you'll pay. Now the P99 has a book value in VG @ $550.00....but they sell for $350.00 around here...because the more popular S&W 99 is the same gun made by Walther, except the slide and barrel sales for $300.00 to $350.00 in VG condition. If it wasn't for Bond 007, the Walthers wouldn't even be heard of. Smith has come out with some M&P's and VE's that are more desireable than the old guns and at cheaper prices. Walthers remind me of a Range Rover compared to a Jeep. One is just more expensive . I have owned two walthers for about 30 + years and never could hit sqwat with them, but they are pretty and my wife likes pretty stuff, so I keep them. In my opinion, I would keep trying to sell the P99...Was it not PT Barnum that said " A sucker is born every minute". Some sucker will buy it sooner or later.
In my area they all seem to sell got around $450 or higher. Even ones in crap shape.
Oh dern.... Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Quest Software Helps University Of Nebraska-Omaha Achieve Aggressive Office 365 Email Migration
MEC - As leading providers of on-premise and cloud based email migration solutions, Quest Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSFT) is proud to announce that it completed an aggressive Microsoft Office 365 email migration for the University of Nebraska – Omaha (UNO). After unsuccessfully trying a competing migration tool, UNO deployed Quest® Notes Migrator for Exchange just weeks before the migration due date, and was able to move 4,200 users and 2,400 mailboxes from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Office 365. Quest was able to complete the entire migration in less than one month, reinforcing Quest's mission to help companies cut Microsoft Exchange migration times to from several months to days.
In making the switch to Microsoft Office 365, UNO spent eight months building a migration plan that put emphasis on migration speed and accuracy while minimizing the impact on both faculty and students. As the migration deadline approached however, UNO found that the project was in danger of missing the original migration window. Just five weeks before the planned migration date, the company turned to Quest's Notes Migrator for Exchange and was able to seamlessly migrate all 4,200 users, on schedule, with no disruption to other campus email activities.

- As timelines continue to shorten, companies place increased importance on higher throughput and seamless migration to keep their communities connected.
- UNO faculty and staff expressed the need for a modern, web-based solution to enable access from a variety of clients, as well as faster response times and better search capabilities within their email platform. The University decided to migrate 4,200 users and 2,400 mailboxes to Office 365 in a "big bang" migration, to minimize impact and avoid disruption to classes.
- The university began an eight-month project with migration tools from another provider. When it became clear the project couldn't be completed within the required timeframe, the university sought out Quest's experience and migration expertise to pick up the pieces and get the job done.
- Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange delivers a ZeroIMPACT migration from Notes to Exchange on-prem, Exchange Online, and hosted Exchange, enabling companies to accurately and efficiently migrate email and calendar data with minimal resources, and without the risks of downtime and data loss.
- UNO purchased Notes Migrator for Exchange five weeks before its planned migration date, and was able to use the tool to complete the migration within the required migration window with no disruption to end users. The increase in throughput translated directly into a faster migration. While the project took place over a university break, a variety of other IT activities were ongoing during that period, and the seamless Quest migration ensured that those events were not disrupted.
- To date, Quest has migrated 40+ million mailboxes, and has 35 million mailboxes under management. The depth and breadth of Quest's migration solutions enable companies to migrate to the cloud, on-premise or a hybrid environment.
- Transitions multiple mailboxes simultaneously to finish migrations faster, and installs multiple migration consoles to increase stability
- Monitors migration project status from a central console, and generates real-time reports to satisfy management requirements
- Automates administrative tasks to reduce IT work time, and schedules migration jobs to run when they will least impact network bandwidth
- Enables end users or administrators to migrate personal data to Exchange or Outlook personal stores, without data loss
- For more information about Notes Migrator for Exchange, please visit http://www.quest.com/notes-migrator-for-exchange/
- Quest will showcase Notes Migrator for Exchange at the Microsoft Exchange Conference this week at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, booth #3.
- Also at MEC this week, Quest will be showing its other solutions to help customers migrate to and manage Exchange Server 2013 on-prem and Office 365.
- Steve Dickson, senior vice president and general manager, Quest Software"In today's world, companies must have full access to email to maintain an efficient work day, which means it's essential to have a swift email migration. UNO's need for a quick and seamless migration was critical to the overall success of the project, and fits well with our mission to speed migrations from months to days, with no disruption to end users."
- Andrew Buker, Director of Technical Services, UNO"Notes Migrator delivered the throughput we needed to complete the migration on time. We were using 10 migration workstations, each running 32 concurrent threads, which is more than recommended, but it worked for us. We were getting only 11–15 MB/hour per workstation with our first provider, but over one GB/hour with each Quest workstation."

My GGGGrandmother , Emmy Moffett/Maffett/Moffitt was in the 1850 Census of Madison Co, Illinois, living alone close to her son Joseph Moffitt and his family, with a Little girl named Virginia Washburn age 6 and Emmy's son Theodore age 9. Since we found that, we have found where Emmy Moffett/Maffett married a Elijah Wasburn in Clinton Co, Illinois in March 1842. So I have come to think that she must have married Mr. Washburn and had another child, that we did not know about. Have always wondered about the Little girl and where she came from, and if she was a relative, but had no idea that she might be Emmy's daughter. She was born in 1844. Does anyone know anything about the marriage or any information about Emmy or Elijah. Emmy also Married John Hobbs later on. I am looking for my GGGGrandfather, John Moffett , Emmy Moffetts 2nd husband, I do not know how he died or where he is buired or when he died. I was also interested in knowing when Elijah died and any other information anyone has . Emmy/Amey was the daughter of Mary(Husband, daughter of Herman Husband) and David Shaffer of Pa. Also If anyone has information about Joseph Moffitt, Emmy/Amey & John's Moffet's son . I am thinking someone in one of these family's must have information on John Moffett. Thanks.

I have a AR-15 flat top that I have been modding and been looking for an eotech. In the end I plan on using a magnifier and a flip up rear. My question is which eotech should I get? I'm up between the xps2, 512, 516, and 517. I want AA batteries cause there easy to find but the length is what I'm worried about. The 517 and 516 are elevated 7mm to fit over a mr hand guard and I wasn't sure if that gap that would be over my 4 rail would be too big or what. The 4 rail is level with the flat top. Does anyone have any opinions on which eotech to get for a flat top at? I would need the buttons on the side just worried about the 7mm rise

Sims 3 First Impressions
By PyjamaRama 14 Comments
Picked up my copy of Sims 3 on the day of release and really haven't stopped playing it since. It is so much more alive than previous installments. Just being able to take your sim outside their house and explore the town with no loading screen is so freeing. The other big improvement from the Sims 2 is the fact that the townspeople (if you chose to keep this option on) can age along with you. Families move in and out, get promoted etc. Now people your sims know will age with them as basically your save is for the whole town not just the family you are playing.

Rate Dr. Namir F. Damluji
Dr. Namir F. Damluji's Ratings
This phenomenal doctor is what medicine is all about. Other psychiatrists should take courses from him. He is Not a pill pusher, but when pills are needed he titrates the medicine just perfectly. He also communicates with the family physician and others and keeps everyone in the loop. God has blessed me with this doctor, and even though he doesn't take medicare or my insurance, I will pay out of pocket to get such good care. Worth every minute he takes with you--and it is longer than other doctors.

Dr. D is awesome, he has helped me and my husband (as well as other family members). He is kind, listens, remembers what you tell him, even if you dont see him for a long time. He is the best doctor, I would highly recommend him. He understands, helps you, really cares, seems more like a family friend than a doctor. I wish i could say in words how much he has truly helped my life and my marriage. (my husband and I both have ADD off the charts as well as my husband suffers from depression). Dr. D has gone above and beyond when we had a family tragedy, and puts his patients first. My insurance doesn't cover Dr. D, but I pay out of pocket to keep seeing him, it is well worth it. Absolutely the best.

Hands down the best doctor in Southern California. He is wonderful, returns phone calls, takes notes in detail while you are speaking to him. Listens and understands what you tell him. He genuinely cares about you and remembers everything that you have told him from your past appointments. Very well known in the community and highly refered by other doctors. You must see him no matter what the cost. He is a sanity saver.

Dr. Damluji is beyond compare. He is sensitive, helpful and extremely patient and professional. He is a doctor with insight and compassion. I believe he truly cares about his patients' well-being and overall happiness and enjoyment of life. He's been in 'the business' for over 20 years has incredible knowledge, he isn't one to 'label' patients and he encourages patients to be an active participant in their own health.

I am beginning to think that Meyer lemon trees flower whenever they want. No specific time of year or conditions...
Here is my 7inch one flowering like crazy that I am taking care of for someone. Then my big tree is flowering again after it flowered in December.. I have others starting to bust out in blooms. My entire yard smells like Florida. Mike..:-) |

Hi Mike: I notice a few tiny buds on mine last night. Nothing like yours of course! I'm going to look more carefully when I get home tonight. gg |

Nice color, Mike! I was smelling citrus at the nursery yesterday, and the Oro Blanco and the Meyer's were blooming. The Calamondin and the Buddha's Hand were putting out new foliage that had excellent purplish color. Quite a show! My brother has several citrus in his yard, too. A few weeks ago, his were blooming - now the fruit Josh |
Hey Mike, Yes. Although my Lemons had small fruit on them already (days in rough greenhouse during 20's & low 30's during winter) they are putting off abundant blooms now. And the Calamondin is blooming more now than in the past 7 or so years I've had it. Some of this is thanks to reading the Citrus Forum which lead me to change fertilizer types and schedules...and to completely abandoning soil mix for Pine Bark/Perlite/Sphagnum-Peat. Things are looking better and leaf color has improved too. I do enjoy seeing the pictures. Beautiful plants!!!!! t98 |

Most citrus in Florida flower twice -- the normal spring bloom in late March most years, and then the so-called "June Bloom," since it's this month that it most often occurs. But lemons and limes usually produce at least some flowers on every growth flush throughout the year, if they're happy. Also, you can force almost any citrus to bloom heavily on the next flush by allowing the tree to get dry enough to go into a severe wilt. I don't generally recommend that -- obviously not good for the tree. But it will put flowers on it! |
Hey Mike, how long have you had your big tree? I don't mean to be rude, just curious... but the one you're tree sitting only has a couple of leaves and your older one has a couple dozen. Do they always end up that "bare" in a container? |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 4, 10 at 14:16
No... I had them at work and they were not fed properly...I had no room in my home all winter, and least to say, because they were not fed and healthy in that enviroment, they came down with a BAD case of "THRIPS"!!!!! I actually posted for help on these on the pest side.. I had to remove every leaf, cut almost half the branches away also loaded with "scale" and "mealy" bugs.. These trees contracted them through all the plants were there infested, and I didn't know this till my plants were placed there for the winter for a month or more. So these are come back from a very torturous winter loaded with insects and hacked to death to rid them..Not bad considering ha? Now all the leaves are green, the ones coming back, I am getting a lot of flush growth, no insects what so ever, and loads of blooms..Nothing a little bit of Foliage Pro and lot's of outdoor fresh air and sun can't fix.. Thank God though... You were not rude at all..In fact I am glad you asked. So no, they do not end up bare in a container unless your cultural habits are not good, or pests like the taste of your trees and decide to attack all at once... Thank you... http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/pests/msg1011483311191.html?5 See these posts..It was a horrible time for my plants..But now you are seeing a FULL recovery... Mike |

i bought mine earlier this spring and it had already bloomed, and currently has a few small fruits. i went out to inspect my plants yesterday after we had some thunderstorming the night before. i notice a few buds popping out. we've gotten decent rainfall this year, all the extra water and cool nights(70s are cool for us, lol) probably prompted it to bloom again. |
Yes, mine is. Hi, I'm Mary, I live in southern NY in zone 6B. I'm fairly new at citrus, been learning from this forum for about a year. I bought a young mandarin tree that produced a single fruit on it this past winter. When I saw that ripe mandarin in my sunroom window with 30" of snow in the background, something clicked and I fell in love. Since then I bought a lime and meyer lemon. Making lots of mistakes and not sure about my soil, but yes, my meyer is blooming - later than the lime or the mandarin. |

PALO ALTO, Calif. ( TheStreet) - HP (HPQ - Get Report) has big plans to bolster its software business, but has no desire to mirror rival IBM (IBM - Get Report), according to Mark Potts, CTO of HP Software.
"Whereas I think, before, the perception on Wall Street was that we were going to become a software-and-services-only play à la IBM's transformation, what we're going to be is a hardware company that differentiates through the combination of hardware, software and services," he explained, during an interview with
TheStreet. "
HP has big plans to grow software revenue. |
With HP in the throes of a major restructuring, there has been a lot of talk that the no.1 PC maker is desperate to emulate IBM, which successfully shifted its focus from low-margin hardware to high-margin software and services.
Potts, though, is keen to emphasize core differences between the two companies. "IBM has done a phenomenal job, but I think they have a strategy that's very different from HP's," he said. "We are primarily a hardware business, with software and services -- they are primarily a services company that has software, and has some hardware."
The CTO said that, unlike its rival, HP will not be undertaking large-scale business process re-engineering, unless there's a lot of IT involved in the project. "You will see us very focused on what it means to deliver great IT solutions for the business, rather than transforming the business that might use IT solutions," he noted. Critics have derided HP's 'limited' software portfolio, although the no.1 PC maker has made a number of acquisitions to improve its software story, such as the surprise $10.3 billion purchase of U.K. firm Autonomy. HP CEO Meg Whitman, who took over from the ousted Leo Apotheker last year, has outlined a bold goal for the company's software business. Late last year Whitman told the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that she wants to double or triple the company's software sales. HP, however, has not given a timeline for achieving this target. Potts explained that software growth will be fueled by trends such as big data, which is managing large volumes of unstructured data, and cloud computing. These technology areas, though, are evolving at different paces, he said.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The resources here are clunky early stages in getting an all-singing all-dancing website together on this. Please be understanding of their clunkinesses! But Alaric also hopes (and sort of believes) that the material here will be useful in helping you to understand how Old English poetry works.
This page makes no sense without the PDF document here. This page provides draft online interactive exercises which go with the PDF.
This material was created by Alaric Hall and Sheryl McDonald; Sheryl's participation in this ongoing project was paid for by a Leeds University Teaching Fellowship awarded to Alaric in 2008-9.
Section 2: stress, exercise 1
Which syllables are the most heavily stressed?
Section 2: stress, exercise 2
Which syllables are the most heavily stressed?
Section 3: metre rule 1 (each line falls into two halves, known as half-lines or verses)
Where does it seem like the a-verse ends and the b-verse begins?
Section 3: metre rule 2 (each half-line contains four syllables)
Now that you know that the a-verse and b-verse of a line of poetry each contain four syllables, identify the syllables and divide these lines into their half-lines.
Section 3: metre rule 3 (resolution)
Click on the words with resolution in the following lines:
Section 3: metre rule 4 (expansion)
Sorry, I'm not clever enough to make an electronic version of this one yet! You'll just have to do it on paper, or in your head...
Section 4: alliteration
Click on the first alliterating sound of the first half-line, followed by the first alliterating sound of the second half-line.
Woo, well done! You now (hopefully) understand Old English metre!

MINNEAPOLIS – January 28, 2015 – The Board of Directors of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.58 per common share payable on February 27, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 9, 2015.

The European Central Bank (ECB) exceeded market expectations by announcing a larger than anticipated program of quantitative easing last Thursday. The ECB has now joined the ranks of the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve as central banks that have employed the non-traditional policy device in the wake of the financial crisis.
With its announcement, the ECB not only embarked on an intensified effort to stimulate the Eurozone economy and lift inflation, but also asserted its independence and put to rest questions about the scope of its mandate, at least in its own eyes. For better or for worse, the bank is now in for a penny, in for a pound – or more accurately, in for a cent, in for a euro.

Once again, it is all about central banks.
Last week, the Swiss National Bank shocked everyone by abandoning its three year effort to keep the franc from appreciating against the euro and slowing its export-oriented economy. Its rationale for doing so was perfectly understandable. In light of the ongoing weakness of the euro, the cost of suppressing the franc was becoming increasingly expensive. And in light of expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) is about to launch a program of quantitative easing, the Swiss strategy threatened to become even more expensive.
Central banks change their minds. It happens. But recent statements from officials at the Swiss National Bank strongly suggested the strategy would continue. As a result, many investors were caught off guard, and on the wrong side of the rise in the value of the franc, which surged 20 percent versus the euro immediately following the announcement last Thursday. Even International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde expressed surprise at the news, saying policy coordination is preferred.

• Overall, consumers still have a lot going for them in the current environment and unless we've suddenly become a much thriftier society, people will eventually spend those extra dollars.
• Excluding gasoline sales, retail trends in general are healthy.
It would be a mistake, in our opinion, to look at the December retail sales report as an indication of deteriorating consumer trends. Consumers still have a lot of positives flowing in their favor, from rising incomes, to better balance sheets, to much lower energy costs.
Unless we've suddenly become a much more frugal society, people will eventually spend their extra dollars as their incomes grow, their costs moderate, and their confidence levels rise, all of which have clearly been occurring.

With a few notable exceptions, stock markets around the globe have started the year with a pervasively negative tone. Through last Friday, the S&P 500 was fractionally lower, as were the Nasdaq Composite and the Russell 2000. Utility and healthcare stocks have bucked the trend, as have REITs and precious metals, but there are few bright spots elsewhere.
Stocks are also generally lower in Europe, although slightly less so in local currency terms, as the dollar continues to strengthen, or perhaps more accurately in the case of the continent, the euro continues to weaken. In Asia, the picture is a little more mixed. Stocks are slightly higher in Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea and India, but lower in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
The rally that drove equity prices higher between mid-October and early December, arguably triggered by expectations of continued central bank largess, has given way to a litany of worries that cumulatively call into question just how effective central banks can and will be.

Now that the slate has been wiped clean and return comparisons have been reset to zero, one question that remains from 2014 is, how important will central bank policy be in determining investment outcomes in 2015? If we ask ourselves – seven years after the start of the Great Recession, and almost six years into the recovery – are the major developed world economies any less in thrall to the influence of central banks, the answer seems to be, no.
Certainly strides have been made across the global economy in the aftermath of the financial crisis, but at varying speeds, and central bank policies are consequently at varying stages. But at the start of 2015, it seems we are as preoccupied with central bank policy as ever.
In the U.S., the question revolves around if and when the Fed will first raise the overnight rate, and at what speed will subsequent increases occur? A strong case is to be made that the domestic economy no longer needs the extra stimulus of a zero bound official rate, even if inflation is a little too low for comfort. And if the Fed does initiate rate liftoff, presumably sometime around June, how will markets react? The end of the third round of quantitative easing (QE3) last fall caused barely a ripple.

You're exactly right in my opinion. Criminals will always find a way to get any firearm or caliber they want.
It's like paradise on Earth, enriched with the ever so sweet nectar of elk urine. When you're out there by yourself, you become who you really are.
What a load of tripe. They ban the weapons for you but the criminals get them and you in turn have no defense. I dont know what the hell the Australian and British government get together and smoke, most likely pole, but the laws are horse droppings. I feel for you man. You need to come stateside and get out of that communist country.
DON'T BUY DELL!!!!! BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow. PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
Also might as well point out that .338 Lapua is on it's way out at a couple of Sydney ranges (never been legal at mine, as far as I know) and also in South Aust, as again that is being classified (or re-classified) as a "sniper" round. So this $8965 baby would be out Wouldn't be surprised about the future chances for this Ruger .416 Hawkeye either
Hmm I didn't know this. From another forum, quoted directly:
The 50BMG machine gun was designed for military use. The 50BMG rifle was designed for civilian use on extreme long range targets. The military found them useful and originally purchased them from civilian sources not military contractors.

WALLA WALLA - The Liberty Christian Patriots charged from the trenches for an early seven-point lead, built it to as high as 14 in the fourth period, then withstood a late Waitsburg-Prescott counter-attack to emerge victorious, 41-35, in the Southeast Class 2B boys District title game here Saturday at Sherwood Center.
The victory sends the Patriots to the state tournament as the No. 1 seed from District 9. The loss puts W-P in the tournament as the district's second seed.
"It was very important to get out on them early," LC coach Terry Watson said. "We knew if we could get a lead, they would start panicking - they'd start making a lot of mistakes. And they did. They started forcing passes and shooting the shots we wanted them to shoot.
"We told ourselves we weren't going to give them 40 points - that was our goal on defense," he said. "We wanted to stay in tight and make them see if they could beat us from the outside and that's exactly what we did."
"We came out OK, but we missed some bunny shots," Waitsburg-Prescott coach T.J. Scott said. "Then (LC) scores eight points that we just handed them, and all the guys put their heads down and got deflated. We got scared or something. I've never seen us play with that little intensity."
Liberty scored the first five points of the game, and pushed the lead to 10-3 before W-P could close it 10-7 at the first break.
The Patriots pumped the lead up to eight, 19-11, with a 9-4 run at the start of the second quarter, but W-P trimmed it back to four with a 4-0 half-ending run.
Liberty Christian jumped out of the third-quarter gate on an 8-2 push led by Brett Dustin's two jumpers, increasing its lead to 10, 27-17. W-P diminished that advantage to single digits, 29-22, by the end of the third quarter on three Wyatt Withers foul shots and a Lucan Gerke layup.
The fourth stanza was a repeat of the first three, with LC blasting off to a 9-2 run. That built the Patriots their largest lead at 14, with 4:48 remaining.
"I always tell my kids, you win the third quarter, you win the game," Watson said. "We did that, but in the fourth quarter we wanted to go out and establish ourselves right away. I thought we had some mismatches with their guards on our posts, so we decided to go inside and it worked."
But W-P wasn't done. According to Scott, the 14-point deficit was his team's wake-up call.
"We didn't take care of the ball on offense, and we didn't play with any heart on defense until the fourth quarter, then all of the sudden the light switch comes on," Scott said.
Starting at the 4:04 mark, W-P embarked on an 11-0 run, forcing the Patriots into four turnovers in the span.
Kris Cady got the rally started by being fouled on a drive and going to the line for two. Cady made the first, missed the second, then got his own rebound and bucket to cap an unconventional three-point play.
Thirty seconds later, W-P's Wyatt Withers buried a trey to make it 38-30.
Zach Bartlow's 10-footer from the left baseline closed the gap to six, and James Lehr's 34 from the left wing narrowed it to three, 38-35, with 45 seconds left.
Patriot Mike Groth finally broke W-P's run with two free throws at the 33-second mark.
W-P attempted three more treys after that, but missed on all.
"If we could have played with that kind of intensity all game long, we would have run them out of the gym," Scott said.
Liberty Christian was led in scoring by Groth's 11 points. Bryan Corrigan posted 8 points and 15 rebounds, 60 percent of his team's board total.
Wyatt Withers led Waitsburg-Prescott with 10 points. Zach Bartlow led W-P with eight boards. Kris Cady contributed eight points and seven rebounds - second best in both categories.
Both teams qualified for the state tournament thanks to wins on Monday. They discover when and who they play today when the tournament draw is held.
The state tournament is held Wednesday through Saturday at the Spokane Arena.
WAITSBURG-PRESCOTT (41) - Hernandez 0 0-0 0, Cady 3 2-6 8, Zuger 0 0-0 0, Withers 2 5-6 10, Bartlow 2 0-0 4, Gerke 1 2-2 4, Wooderchak 0 0-0 0, Alexenko 0 0-0 0, Kiefel 2 0-0 4, McDaniel 0 0-0 0, Lehr 2 0-2 5. Totals 12 9-16 35.

PlayStation 4′s social features were partially inspired by the asynchronous multiplayer elements of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, Shuhei Yoshida has revealed. Speaking on the PlayStation Blogcast, as transcribed by Polygon, the SCE Worldwide Studios boss said Demon's Souls and Dark Souls tie for second place in his top ten games of the generation.
"Lots of things Demon's Souls and Dark Souls did, like leaving the message to other people asynchronously – so if you were connected, but not connected at the same time – all these things inspired us when we were designing the system features for PS4," he said.
"The sharing features. I enjoy so much watching people playing Dark Souls on YouTube. This game is perfect to learn from other players how to attack the same situations with very different strategy."
Yoshida is presumably referring to the PS4′s integrated Twitch, game DVR and image sharing capabilities. It's an interesting comment as the social features of Demon's Souls and its follow-ups were originally inspired by the collaboration found on Japanese message boards when players would bind together to puzzle through western RPGs – which were frequently not localised, or localised very poorly. The PS4 is out now in North America and coming to Europe and selected other territories on November 29.

Foreign Sourced Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients vs. Imported Drugs
03.12.11 | By
In a 60 Minutes segment airing tonight, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Margaret Hamburg admits that there are rare instances of counterfeit medicines seeping into the closed U.S drug supply but in other countries around the world, patients aren't as lucky nor are they safe from the global counterfeit drug threat.
The Commissioner also talked about active pharmaceutical ingredients, which are critical components that give a prescription drug its therapeutic effect, and therefore helps to cure, mitigate, treat or prevent disease.
Check out this short web video of Kendra Martello, Assistant General Counsel, PhRMA, explaining the difference between foreign-sourced active pharmaceutical ingredients in FDA-approved medicines and imported drugs from foreign countries that have not been approved by FDA.
Kendra stressed that while a prescription drug may contain an active pharmaceutical ingredient sourced from other locations in the world, it is important to know that FDA's strict regulations apply to all aspects of the drug's manufacture, including the use of all ingredients, both active and inactive, that make up an FDA-approved medicine sold in the U.S., no matter where the ingredients are derived from.
Prescription drugs sold in other countries, however, are very different because they are not FDA-approved and not necessarily safe for consumption by U.S. patients.
