'Fast Money' Recap: A Near-Resolution Rally
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The broader market rallied near all-time highs as a resolution to the debt ceiling crisis in Washington finally appears to be near.
Josh Brown, financial adviser at Ritholtz Wealth Management, said equities are cheap and hedge fund managers need to chase stocks to increase their performance. For these reasons, stocks should move higher into the end of the year.
Tim Seymour, managing partner at Triogem Asset Management, said he likes airlines, industrials, cyclical stocks and emerging markets. Equities might consolidate for a week before moving higher for the rest of 2013.
Guy Adami, managing director at stockmonster.com, questioned the valuation of equities, pointing out that the earnings season has been less than enthusiastic so far.
International Business Machine (IBM) fell following its earnings results. Adami said the stock has continued to miss earnings and shouldn't be considered a market indicator since it has lagged the indices all year. Bank of America (BAC) beat on earnings, and Steve Grasso of Stuart Frankel said he is staying long as litigation tied to housing begins to fade. Dave Rovelli, managing director of U.S. equity trading at Canaccord Genuity, was a guest on the show and said there was no way that Congress could have let the U.S. default. He thinks investors should keep buying on dips because the Federal Reserve will not taper amid these problems. His top picks include Qualcomm (QCOM), Laredo Petroleum Holdings (LPI) and Gulfport Energy (GPOR). eBay (EBAY) beat earnings estimates but provided weak fourth-quarter guidance. Adami said the stock's valuation is now being questioned and it could trade down to $47.50. Teradata (TDC) was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drops" segment. Adami said traders could get long if it holds the $41 level. Mattel (MAT) popped 1%. Brown said there's nothing wrong the company's fundamentals, but wouldn't be a buyer unless the stock broke out technically. Advanced Auto Parts (AAP) rocketed 16%, and Grasso said he cannot recommend buying the stock after that kind of move. He suggested waiting a few days before buying.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ozil: Mourinho a decisive factor
18 Aug 2010 - 16:49:23
Real Madrid's new signing Mesut Ozil has spoken of his delight at sealing a big-money switch to the Bernabeu from Werder Bremen.
The 21-year-old Germany international has penned a six-year contract with Real, having revealed that coach Jose Mourinho was a major factor behind his decision to head to the Spanish capital.
He told the assembled media: "Nothing had been decided before yesterday and I can honestly say I am glad this has had a happy ending. This is a great challenge for me.
"Real Madrid is the best club in the world. I discussed several options with my advisors, but I wanted to come here because I wanted to work with Jose Mourinho, the best coach in the world.
"I spoke with him and he convinced me to come. What we said will remain between us, but he is the greatest reason for which I'm here."

So I brewed Richards Pumpkin Ale about a month and a half ago. It got three weeks in the primary, three weeks in the secondary and I just transfered it to the keg to lager for another month. So this particular keg doesn't hold pressure incredibly well and its just easier to hit it with a constant ten psi, rather than purging it every day. My question is, does lagering for extended periods under pressure have any significant effect as compared to simply purging the keg with co2 and lagering for the same period of time. I don't see how it matters, just looking for a more definitive answer. Thank you.
You can leave it pressurized. Check out the 'Natural Carbonation' section of Kaiser's Fermenting Lagers article. It should answer some questions. I do all my lagers that way (I know yours is an ale but this should answer some questions about it). EDIT: This is an uber-long thread but Wortmongers first post might help too.

Are CEOs ready to invest in Icahn's investment firm?
Companies that have faced the wrath of shareholder activist Carl Icahn may be looking for ways to lace up the shoe on that other foot. But think again.
Ed Zander, listen up. Get your wallet ready and shareholder activist hat on.
Your arch nemesis, shareholder activist Carl Icahn, has sold his Icahn Funds, which he manages, to American Real Estate Partners, according to a Reuters report Thursday.
American Real Estate Partners is publicly traded, and Icahn holds a 90 percent stake in the company. So, with AREP purchasing Icahn's private investment funds, which have been vocal on those holdings it deems as poor performers--like Zander's company, Motorola--CEOs such as Zander may want to invest in AREP.
And what might these CEOs do if AREP's performance begins to tank? They could launch a proxy fight, much like Icahn did with Motorola, or initiate a campaign to withhold votes to re-elect AREP's directors and chairman. Icahn, by the way, has agreed to serve as AREP's chairman for five years and as CEO of the Icahn Management Entities.
While any efforts by CEOs to launch a proxy war with Icahn's AREP would be entertaining, in the end, it would be futile. The guy holds a controlling stake and isn't likely to vote himself off the board.
Especially, since they're renaming AREP as Icahn Enterprises.

3D printed buildings
In a huge 3D printer, a Chinese engineer is printing large building blocks with an interesting internal structure, and then making buildings with them.
Meanwhile, the University of Southern California aims to print a building in-situ.
Entirely printing a building would be tricky because for damp climates there has to be there has to be some sort of vertical moisture barrier within the structure. This sometimes applied as Tyvek sheeting – the white sheeting seen wrapped around the inner walls of new-build homes.

Renzo Piano Building Workshop
Artstor has collaborated with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop to share approximately 300 images of works of architecture designed by Renzo Piano and the Renzo Piano Workshop in the Digital Library. A renowned Pritzker prize-winning architect, Piano has executed projects around the world, including structures as diverse as museums, galleries, churches, airports, residences, apartments, theaters, concert halls, shopping centers, factories, office buildings, bridges, mixed use complexes, etc. Piano first achieved international fame when he and Richard Rogers won the competition to design the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (1971-1977). Though recognizable for its provocative design, which exposed the building's functional structural elements, the Centre Pompidou also exhibited the focus on technology and mastery of materials that would remain hallmarks of Piano's subsequent work. The collection in the ARTstor Digital Library will consist of documentation of Piano's early works (1965-1969) and his major projects to date, as well as related plans and preparatory drawings. Notable projects include: The Menil Collection in Houston, TX (1982-1987); the conversion of the Lingotto Factory in Turin, Italy (1983-2003); the San Nicola Football Stadium in Bari, Italy (1987-1990); the Kansai International Airport Passenger Terminal Building in Osaka, Japan (1988-1994), the Beyeler Foundation Museum in Basel, Switzerland (1991-2000); the Padre Pio Pilgrimage Church (S. Giovanni Rotondo) in Foggia, Italy (1991-2004); the master plan for the redevelopment of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany (1992-2000); the refurbishment of the Centre Georges Pompidou (1996-2000); the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland (1999-2005); the High Museum of Art expansion in Atlanta, GA (1999-2005); the renovation and expansion of The Morgan Library & Museum in New York, NY (2000-2006); the New York Times headquarters building in New York, NY (2000-2007); and the Modern Wing of the the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, IL (2000-2009).
Renzo Piano (b.1937) was born into a family of builders and contractors in Genoa, Italy. He graduated from the School of Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano in 1964. From 1965 to 1970, Piano worked in the architecture offices of Louis I. Kahn in Philadelphia, PA and Z.S. Makowski in London. Together with the British architect Richard Rogers, his partner in the Centre Pompidou project, he founded the Piano and Rogers agency in 1971. Later, in 1977, Piano established l'Atelier Piano and Rice in 1977 with engineer Peter Rice, with whom he collaborated until Rice's death in 1993. In 1981, he founded the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, which employs about 150 architects, engineers, and specialists and maintains offices in Paris, Genoa and New York. He also created the Fondazione Renzo Piano in 2004, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of the profession of architecture through educational programs and teaching activities. Over the course of his distinguished career, Piano has been the recipient of numerous prizes, such as the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture from the Royal Institute of British Architects (1989), The Pritzker Architecture Prize (1998), the Wexner Prize (2001), the Médaille d'Or from the Union Internationale des Architectes (2002), and the Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects (2008), among others.

Take at look at the picture that goes with this story. It was taken with a Lytro light-field camera by Kira Wampler of California. If you're a parent, you may think of it as saving one of those priceless moments from your children's early years.
But never mind that — is the little girl in focus? If so, take your cursor (apologies if you're reading this on a platform on which it doesn't work) and click somewhere else in the frame — say, on the boy's face. Now try another spot, perhaps the trees in the background. And another.
We'll wait a minute while you play with it. Everything in the picture can somehow be put in focus, even if things were very different distances from the camera when the shot was taken. Lytro, a California startup company that says it will start selling its camera in February, bills it as a potential game changer.
"I capture expressions on my kids' faces because there's no waiting to shoot," said Wampler, who happens to be Lytro's VP for marketing and demonstrated the camera for us. "I don't miss that half-second when my kids were cute, and then they're not cute anymore, because the camera's trying to focus."
The Lytro camera, unlike conventional cameras, has a matrix of tiny lenses on a sensing chip, gathering light from different sources and directions instead of focusing everything on the same plane as other cameras do. The company's founder, Ren Ng, refined the idea when he was working on his Ph.D. at Stanford.
"The product design is very user-centric. User research shows what folks are having trouble with," said Ng. "We're not doing it for technology's sake, but to make photography simpler, faster and more magical."
The camera itself looks simple — a small, squared-off tube less than five inches long, with a lens opening at one end and a 1.5-inch LCD touch screen at the other. It weighs about 8 oz. Several people who have seen it have remarked that it reminds them of an old-fashioned kaleidoscope. Embedded in the rubberized grip around the rear end are a shutter release, a slide control for the 8X zoom lens, a small hatch for a mini-USB cord to plug into a computer or power source, and — well, that's about it.
The first camera, Wampler said, will come in just two forms: one with 8 GB of memory (enough for about 350 pictures) for $399, and one with 16 GB (750 pictures) for $499. If you're into accessories, you can buy a fast battery charger and a replacement lens cap.
The market will determine whether the camera is a novelty or the beginning of a revolution. One can imagine there will be a lot of early closeups of flowers with mountains looming in the distance.
Erik Butler, a photography professor at San Francisco's Academy of Art University, said, "The product seems really cool, but might have a short-lived enthusiasm."
Lytro says the camera will be available at first only on its website, and only for computers running Apple's operating system. Later in 2012 there will be software for Windows computers, and eventually the company may license its technology to other camera makers who want to give photographers more creative control.
Most of its power, for now, is in what you do to the images after you've shot them. You could turn them into standard still pictures and print them, but that would be missing their potential, Wampler said. More likely, you'll look at — and play with — them on your computer screen, experimenting with what to highlight. If you email an image to a friend, or embed it in a Facebook page, some software goes with it to let you adjust the focus and perspective.
"What we've seen is that there are two groups who will be interested," said Wampler. "There's one group for whom this might unleash tremendous creative potential — and we can't wait to see what they think of. Creating a story within a picture is a great draw.
"Then there's a second group, which is people like me who just want to get good pictures."

First of all, I must say to the administrator, I just joined and read the policies and appreciate your family friendly rules!
Getting to the point, I received a Marlin Model 60 as my first firearm under Dad's supervision, so it holds a lot of personal value and quite a few memories. Recently, it has developed a bad misfire--about every 3-4 shots. I've taken the action completely down for careful cleaning. No help. The next thing I'm considering as a corrective action is replacing the hammer spring, but I thought I'd put it up for discussion first.
It has been a great plinker and an accurate squirrel gun and would likr to eventually pass it down to one of my boys.

Cosworth confirmed on Friday that they have officially agreed to end their engine-supply agreement with Lotus. Cosworths support for the team will cease at midnight on November 30, 2010.
The decision to terminate the partnership after just one of the originally contracted three years was driven by Lotuss desire to solve reliability and performance issues unrelated to Cosworths engines and the team are widely expected to use Renault power in 2011.
Lotus Racing and Cosworth have agreed settlement terms satisfactory to both parties to secure an early termination of the agreement, read a Cosworth statement. Cosworth wishes Lotus Racing success in the future.
Cosworth will continue to supply engines to Williams, Virgin and HRT in 2011, thereby supporting 25 percent of the teams in Formula One.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Greinke stays perfect at home
During a season in which the Brewers have posted a remarkable .758 winning percentage at home, Zack Greinke has been even better.
He hasn't lost even once.
Greinke became the first Brewers pitcher to win his first nine home decisions by tossing seven strong innings Wednesday night in a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers before a sellout crowd of 42,804 at Miller Park.
By running their record to 6-0 on this home stand, the Brewers boosted their home record to an incredible 47-15, including 18 wins in the last 20 games and seven in a row. Overall, they have won 19 of 21 to go 22 games over .500 (73-51) and maintain a seven-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central.
"It's definitely not locked up now but it's on us mainly," said Greinke, who boosted his record to 12-4. "We've just got to keep doing as good as we're doing or at least close to that and make it as tough as possible for other teams.
"But it is ours to lose, I think, as of right now."
Greinke blanked the Dodgers until former Brewers outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. socked his first home run of the season with two down in the seventh. It was only the fifth hit allowed by Greinke, who walked three and struck out eight.
By turning in his eighth consecutive quality start, Greinke lowered his earned run average to 3.92, an impressive feat considering it stood at 5.63 entering July.
"That was my goal for awhile," said Greinke. "I'm finally catching up to these (other starters). They've been making great starts, too, and making it even harder. So, I've still got a ways to go to catch some of them."

So the anime that grabs me the most from my previous thread is Naruto. I like the fact that now they are in the Great Ninja War, and that Kabuto has resurrected the dead, and all that jazz with Tobi excites me. So out of the HST I might give Naruto a chance. And maybe after I'm caught up I'll check out something else. Maybe One Piece, since after thinking about it I'd like a manga to continue with an adventure (as stupid and circular as I think One Piece is at first glance, but that's why I'm willing to give it a chance and at least try it). But I want opinions. Should I actually check out One Piece? I heard Fairy Tail has the same feel, same art style(I think Fairy Tail's looks better, but it's not like I can't stand One Piece's. It's tolerable), and same adventure that One Piece has.
If I had to choose at least one big-time adventure manga that is continuous, should I choose One Piece or Fairy Tail? Personally, Fairy Tail sounds more interesting, with mages and stuff, but I want opinions on this, because after Naruto(it looks as though Naruto will be ending soon/Bleach is going downhill), I want something else to read that is on-going, so would it be Fairy Tail or One Piece?
(P.S. Don't say Gintama. Gintama looks as dumb as Bleach. Well no.... dumber. Cuz I hear Bleach has direction until Aizen, and then it drops. I don't want that in an anime. I want good continuity. Gintama just doesn't seem to attract me. Too many samurai anime already. Bleach has some originality in it, even though it is like Yu Yu Hakusho, but still original with shinigami in their own way, which is cool with squads and such, but the downhill from Kubo unattracts me to the series. And even if I ever plan on checking out Gintama, it won't be for a while. Right now, it's not on my to-read list.)

UPDATED: Monday, August 26, 2013 - 10:44am
DIANA, TX — A U.S. congressman saw evidence this week that the back of a walking horse delivers physical, occupational and other therapies better than an air-filled exercise ball.
U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert also learned that insurance will pay for the balancing ball but not the horseback workouts called hippotherapy.
"It makes sense, now that I've seen it," Gohmert said after watching a horse and rider wired with electrodes that captured the interplay of muscles of both. "This trains a body to do movements it wouldn't do in an ordinary physical therapy session."
Gohmert, R-Tyler, had been invited to Windridge Equestrian Therapeutic Center of East Texas to see research that hippotherapy centers across the country are waiting to see.
"Windridge is researching the benefits of working with an experienced horse handler to get the maximum benefit from therapeutic horsemanship," the CEO of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International wrote Gohmert in a letter from PATH dated Tuesday. "Which is another validation of the importance of PATH International centers."

I'm often heard things like: "I like dragons with six limbs more", or "fire-brething dragons are better".
So why should I forego on this typical features?
The answer come to me today when I browse through the book "the dinosaur hunters" , a fantastic novel about the first paleontologists from Mary Anning over Mantell to Darvin. The book shows how this pioniers worked and thought. Especially intersting/funny is that most of this early scientists try to harmonize bible and the fossils they found, a endeavor that must fail.
I feel the same when I look at theories abouth the evolution of dragons with 6 limbs or biomechanic models to explain how dragons breath fire.
Most of this theories are possible, but it's the try to harmonize the legends, myths, and fairy tales with modern science. Some authors just copy the legends and spice them with scientific facts.
Always keep in mind that humans make mistakes and tend to exaggerate, lie and fantasize; especially over a long times. When europeans heard firstly something about the komodo dragon it should be a giant fire breathing lizard which kills humans all the time.
I have a similar problem with magic: it's often seems to be used for filling gaps which are difficult to fill with science. Especially the Dragonology books are a good example for that. Firstly they look relatively pseudo-scintific enough to raise my attention, but the parts about magic destroyed everything.
I wrote this text after I heard, again, one of this possible but... don't know the right word... squashed sounding theories (The dragon must must must must have SIX LIMBS !!!! No matter how)

$A recovering from Thursday jobs data loss
PUBLISHED: 11 Jul 2014 09:29:57 | UPDATED: 11 Jul 2014 09:31:12PRINT EDITION: 11 Jul 2014The gain in jobs in June wasn't as encouraging as it looked, BK Asset Management managing director Boris Schlossberg said. "The gain in the jobs number was due solely to a pick-up in part-time employment. Full-time jobs actually declined." Photo: AFP
The Australian dollar has recovered some of the losses it suffered on the back of disappointing unemployment data.
At 9.09am AEST on Friday, the local currency was trading at 93.90 US cents, up from 93.69 cents on Thursday.
The Australian dollar fell on Thursday after labour force figures showed the unemployment rate hit 6.0 per cent in June.
On a positive note, the economy added almost 16,000 jobs - better than the 12,000 economists were expecting.
But the gain in jobs is not as encouraging as it looks and hides problems within the labour market, BK Asset Management managing director Boris Schlossberg said.
"The gain in the jobs number was due solely to a pick-up in part-time employment. Full-time jobs actually declined," Mr Schlossberg said.
A run of disappointing jobs reports, combined with cooler inflation in the March quarter, means another rate cut could be on the cards, he said.
"The RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) could surprise the market with another rate cut if such trends persist into the second half of the year," Mr Schlossberg said.
"This would especially be true if the Australian dollar exchange rate remains highly elevated, as the RBA continues to be concerned about the deteriorating terms of trade."
He said weaker-than-expected Chinese trade figures also put pressure on the Australian dollar on Thursday.

On the Existence of a Classical Optimal Solution and of an Almost Strongly Optimal Solution for an Infinite-Horizon Control Problem
- Dominika Bogusz
- … show all 1 hide
We consider an infinite-horizon optimal control problem with the cost functional described either by an integral over an unbounded interval (a Lebesgue integral) or by a limit of integrals (an improper Lebesgue integral). We prove some theorems on the existence of solutions to such problems. The proofs are based on appropriate lower closure theorems and some extensions of Olech's theorem on the lower semicontinuity of an integral functional; these extensions cover the cases of functionals described by an integral over an unbounded interval and by a limit of integrals.

Rainwater seeped into the 152-year-old CSI Tamil Wesley Church in Broadway on Friday, through the cracks that developed from underground Metro Rail work.
A Grade 2A heritage building, the church suffered damage in July, when tunnel boring machines drilled several feet underneath.
"Usually, there is no seepage in the church during the monsoon. It is only now, after the damage caused by Metro Rail work, there is water dripping inside the church. Repair work started a while back and should be completed in another 10-15 days," said a member of the church.
"We are not sure if Sunday service will take place here if the rains and water seepage continue," said another member of the church.
Officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) denied the cracks in the building had resulted in water seepage. "The building does not have proper drainage and this may have resulted in the seepage," an official said.
CMRL began repairing the cracks in the last week of August, more than a month after they developed following underground drilling between Mannady and Madras High Court where Metro Rail stations are coming up.
"We are coordinating with church authorities and the repairs should be completed soon," said the CMRL official.
Repairs on another church, the 121-year-old Arcot Lutheran church, that also developed cracks due to the tunnelling work had been completed, he said.
Experts from IIT-Madras had inspected the buildings and sent a report to CMRL with their recommendations.
Of the nearly 740 buildings under which the TBM drilled through from Washermenpet to Mannady, nearly 25 buildings developed fresh cracks, said the CMRL official.

A fantastical, psychological journey of a girl who can see an alternate plane of existence after a near-death experience.
About this project
The Story
My film will be a fantastical, psychological journey following the story of a girl who has the ability to view segments of an alternate plane of existence after a near-death experience. Water turns to blood, strange shadows crawl across the ground and it's almost impossible to distinguish day from night. She tries to function while the two worlds merge around her, and a charismatic demon that only she can see wants to convince her to make a full and permanent transition to 'the other side.'
About Me
My name is Darian Brenner and I'm a senior at Rhode Island School of Design studying film/video. I really want to make this movie for its deeper meaning--at the core, this project is about being forced to adapt to sudden and unfair changes. This past summer I lost my mom and my life has since been completely flipped upside-down. My goal in making this film is to have some catharsis dealing with my new situation and create something beautiful and compelling, that my mom would have liked and that anyone who has experienced any devastating change can relate to.
To check out some more of my major projects that I've created while at RISD, visit my vimeo channel.
The money that I raise on Kickstarter will go towards equipment/space rental, costume & prop materials, transportation for my actors and crew, permits, catering, harddrives, and other miscellaneous expenses, hopefully including having exotic animals on set (!!!)
If you are new to Kickstarter's system, it's important to know that if I don't reach my minimum goal before my deadline, I won't receive any of the funding and no one's credit cards will be charged. If I do reach my minimum goal (and I sure hope I do!!!) or even surpass it, still no one's cards will be charged until the deadline. So when you pledge money to my project, you are pledging that your card will be charged on my deadline given that I reach my minimum goal. I hope that makes sense!
Thank you all so much for supporting this project! I really can't wait to finish this film and share it with all of you.

1 cup raw cashews
5 cups vegetable broth, divided
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 onion, finely chopped
4 1/2 cups coarsely chopped broccoli
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
I added a dash of cayenne pepper but other than that, it was great. Will make again. We should start an Eat to Live tab to allrecipes.com Thanks for sharing.
I was so disappointed with this soup, especially after reading all the glowing reviews. I followed the recipe exactly and found it too thick and flavorless. I did't want to throw it out, so after tinkering with some spices, it was edible. I had one bowl. My husband enjoyed it more than I, so I saved a serving for him for later in the week. I tossed the rest, sadly. I'll be looking for a different recipe.

Truly, truly, truly delicious. I've searched far and wide for the perfect vegan broccoli soup, and this one is the best, bar none. I happen to love heavy cream and was about to resort to it until I found this recipe. It's so creamy! And it's not cashew-y at all (not that there'd be anything wrong with that). Another cow can live in peace. My only tweak was to use Salish alderwood smoked sea salt instead of regular. I'll say again -- delicious. I might be able to hang with this vegan thing after all.
Delicious! I added three chopped carrots, exchanged an alternative salt product for the salt, and use used only one potato. This recipe is a comfort food without the guilt.
An amazing recipe!! After reading reviews saying it "needed something", I added 1 tsp dried dill, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, an 1 tsp dried parsley when I added in the 4 cups of vegetable broth and the flavor turned out phenomenal.
Picking really good vegan recipes can be a crapshoot as they sometimes combine one or more ingredients to replace a tried and true one . . . like milk/cream in this case. This one makes 'cream' by blending cashews with broth. If not told beforehand, many people eating this soup would not identify cashews being used as the taste is surprisingly subtle. Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising as almond or soy milk might work fine here if subbed for cashew cream. For us, this soup seriously needed seasoning. Having made that adjustment, it was pretty good but more tinkering is needed to take this up a notch . . . like a glug of dry white wine. Overall a healthy choice but we used a low sodium broth and omitted the salt given the relative high sodium content for just one bowl of soup. Nakkeya, thank you for creating this recipe.
The soup was very delicious, especially considering the limited ingredients used. Overall, however, the soup tastes bland and non-stimulating. The cashews are really prevalent throughout the soup, and tends to overpower the broccoli flavor a little bit. The only thing this soup needs is another spice...Dill maybe? I honestly don't know, I'll have to experiment. Eat the soup quickly, because when it becomes cold the broccoli flavor REALLY comes out. The default proportions makes four medium-size bowls-worth, which is good for eating the soup as a side dish. As a whole meal, three bowls is what you'll get out of it...so prepare appropriately. With some other mystery spice added to future cooking, I am absolutely sure others will enjoy this meal. As an avid steamed-broccoli hater...this soup has given me hope in this disgusting little vegetable. Well done, will cook again in the future for eccentric cute little Vegan girls who assuming me a lowly ignorant meat eater wouldn't know how to cook decent vegetarian/vegan food. :)
Added 1/4 cup nutritional yeast and herb de provence. Also, did 4 cups broth in pot, and then used water to mix with cashews. YUM!!!! my kids LOVED it. And my daughter who is the BIGGEST fan of the real one with cheese- she asked for seconds!

So far so good
I dont know how Artemisia will work yet as I was taking the Super Artemisinin from Nutricology for quite a while for Babesia. But Artemisia is getting to be popular and has driven up the price too much and because I need to take 1000mcg a day 3 times a week for two weeks one bottle of the Artemisinin was going fast. So well see if Artemisia works the same way - I get to try it out next week when I restart my ABX regimen. Its still from the same company so no worries over fillers etc.

Since the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals published its proposal for sustainable development goals for 2016 to 2030, there has been much discussion about whether 17 goals and 169 targets are too many. In this new paper, David Steven explores the delivery challenges associated with one of the proposed targets: end abuse, exploitation, trafficking, and all forms of violence and torture against children. (October 2014)

A Laboratory of Development – The Impact of Social Policies on Children in Latin America and the Caribbean
The Latin America and Caribbean region is distinguished by the range of policies that it has developed to respond to both the opportunities and risks of contemporary globalization. From efforts to increase macroeconomic stability and major programs of economic reform, through innovative investments in social welfare and protection, to fresh approaches to compensating those providing environmental goods and services, the region has been at the forefront of developing new economic, social, and environmental policies.
Prepared at the request of UNICEF in Latin America and the Caribbean, this paper explores the concept of the region as a laboratory for development by focusing on progress made in meeting the region's obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the policies that have supported this progress, and the lessons that can be drawn for children's future prospects.
The paper first provides an overview of regional trends that have led to positive outcomes for children and identifies countries that have made especially fast progress. The paper's second section explores major policies that have had an impact on children's lives. Finally, the paper outlines the major challenges that the region must confront if it is to continue improving the lives of children.
North-South, South-South, Triangular Cooperation, and ICT for Development to the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Presentation by David Steven to the High-Level Event of the United Nations General Assembly on Contributions of North-South, South-South, Triangular Cooperation, and ICT for Development to the implementation of the Post-2015 Development Agenda (May 2014)
Next Generation Pakistan: Insecure Lives, Untold Stories
Next Generation: Insecure Lives, Untold Stories is one of the largest pieces of qualitative research ever conducted in Pakistan and is rooted in a determination to listen to the voices of young people. It is the first to systematically collect their stories, with 1,800 gathered from across the country. It also includes the results from a nationally representative survey and a series of expert interviews.
The report shows that violence is a binding constraint to realising the potential of Pakistan's young people. Not just political violence, but criminal and domestic violence, starve young people of opportunities and make it harder for Pakistan to benefit from the demographic dividend that could transform its future (May 2014)
Pakistan's Next Generation: Insecure Lives, Untold Stories
I'm in Lahore launching the third report from Pakistan's Next Generation Task Force – I'm the Task Force's director of research.
In the first report, we looked at the economic potential of young people in Pakistan and its ability to collect a demographic dividend as growing numbers of them enter the workforce.
In a second report, published in the run up to last year's election, we explored the political implications of an electorate that is increasingly dominated by young voters, who are more likely to be educated, urban, and middle class than their parents.
Our third report focuses on how violence and conflict are shaping young lives. At its heart are 1,800 personal accounts which provide a stunning series of insights into a silent epidemic of political, criminal, domestic and sexual violence.
We demonstrate debilitating economic, social and physical damage, and a largely hidden problem – mental health impacts from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, self-harm, and suicide.
The report calls for urgent action to give a voice to the survivors and victims of violence, respond to their mental and emotional health needs, create opportunities for young people to opt out of violence, and promote reconciliation at provincial and national levels.
It's a tough report that often makes for uncomfortable reading, but I think it's essential not only for those interested in Pakistan's future, but for all those engaged in the broader debate of how to build peaceful and inclusive societies.
You can download the report here.
Debating stable and peaceful societies
Today, the President of the UN General Assembly hosts a debate on ensuring stable and peaceful societies within the post-2015 development agenda.
I am moderating tomorrow's session that looks at the global partnership that would be needed if countries are to reduce violence, and tackle the instability that is a threat to the future of a significant proportion of the global population.
As background for the debate, here's a memo I prepared for the PGA. A long list of possible goals and targets is now on the table in this area (see pages 149-159), but there are deep disagreements among member states as to whether this is an area that should be prioritised within the new goal framework.
My advice:
- Recognise this is a genuinely universal agenda – one that affects rich, middle income, and poor countries and where the West, in particular, has a responsibility to demonstrate it is serious about reducing the stresses that destabilise poorer countries.
- Give the victims and survivors of violence a voice in this debate, and pay greater attention to the needs of those whose lives are defined by instability (a problem that goes far beyond so-called fragile states).
- Draw on the track record of countries that have bounced back from conflict or shown that they are able to reduce violence, turning the debate into one about solutions, not just aspirational targets.
Read the whole report here.
Ensuring Stable and Peaceful Societies
On April 24th and 25th, the President of the UN General Assembly will lead a thematic debate on ensuring stable and peaceful societies. At the request of the President of the General Assembly, I prepared a memo which highlights why peace and stability is important for sustainable development and how it might be addressed in the post-2015 development agenda. The outcome of this discussion will be included in the President's summary and will be available as an input in the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (April 2014)

industry chair is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 2 out of 5 by lpmama from weak we bought two industry chairs 6 months ago for our kitchen. they look good, but with light use (4-5 hours per week max) one has bent where the back leg meets the seat on the chair my 185 lb. husband sits in. he's now afraid to ruin it completely, so brings a dining chair to the kitchen when we sit for dinner. not much point to a chair than only looks good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Susan from Industrial chic dining My fiance and I purchased these chairs for our new apartment, and we're very pleased with them. We're using them for our dining area, paired with the white slide bistro table, for a modern, industrial chic vibe. They're sturdy and surprisingly comfortable because of the slight bucket seat design. Good value for the price.They would look great outdoors too. We had a friend use them on her patio in NYC and they survived a pretty brutal winter without any visible damage / markings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mdrake0614 from Modern Style We bought four of these chairs to go with the peak dining room table from CB2 and we love them! They are modern, industrial and make a great addition to our dining room. They complement the dining table very well. The color is just slightly lighter in person. Overall we love these chairs!

Rated 3 out of 5 by surlymaclaine from Color not as pictured The photographs on the website are about 50% darker than the chairs are in person. They're more of a light-medium natural steel gray than the darker graphite color in the photos.

Rated 4 out of 5 by marcmoon from Good The chairs are nice. I appreciate how they curve to the body. They are fairly comfortable and sturdy. My only complaint is that the feet dig into the rug a bit, because the feet form a triangle at the end, so I'm a little afraid they might damage my rugs. But they haven't yet, so no worries so far.

New all mountain board for Australia
Hey guys,
I am an intermediate rider. Usually ride about 5 days each year for the last 10 years in Australia, currently ride a stiff old heavy LTD 154 i bought back in '06. I'm after a new all-mountain board. I love doing everything including jumps, park and regular runs which get pretty icy in Australia. I've read alot about Burton Custom, Jones Mountain twin and a few of the Never summer, Gnu and Lib-tech boards but have no idea what to get. I don't know whether to go Camber/rocker, both or banana either. Any help would be appreciated. I'm 168cm and 63kgs. Cheers |

And Francium, I don't know if you are joking or not...but I hear you on the hiding boards from the wife. My stash spot in the basement was recently discovered. To be fair, I had reasons: two for collecting, one for thrashing on a friend's backyard set-up and two for the hill. I had some explaining to do. She still doesn't get it, hahah. |

I just purchased a set of pistol grip shotguns: a Mossberg 12 gauge and a Mossberg 20 gauge.
Since my prior experience with shotguns is with buttstock style, I am interested in the best way to aim these guns. Shooting from the hip seems against all reason in regards to a sight picture, and holding the grip with one hand while bracing that forearm with the other hand seems unreasonable to gain a steady aim.
I would appreciate your thoughts on aiming these fine defensive weapons.

Understanding Clinical Trials
A clinical trial is a research study designed to answer specific questions about new medications, therapies, or new ways of using known treatments. Carefully conducted clinical trials enable researchers to determine if new treatments are both safe and effective. All clinical trials are based on a set of rules called a protocol. A protocol describes factors such as eligibility, what procedures will be involved, how many study visits will take place, the duration of the study, and what investigational drug or approved medication will be studied. It also determines whether or not patients can take standard therapies while in the study, and whether or not a new therapy will be compared to a placebo (inactive pill) during the study. While in a clinical trial, participants are seen regularly by the research staff to monitor their health and to determine the safety and effectiveness of the potential treatment.
Who Can Participate in a Clinical Trial?
All clinical trials have strict guidelines about who is eligible to enroll. These guidelines may include factors such as age, past medical history, present medical condition, and current medications used. Before you are accepted into a clinical trial, you must first meet certain eligibility requirements ("inclusion criteria") specific to that study. While some research studies do recruit healthy volunteers, many clinical trials need individuals who have certain medical conditions in order to assess new treatments for these conditions. It is important to keep in mind that the inclusion criteria specified in the protocol are not means by which potential subjects are rejected personally or intentionally prevented from participating in research opportunities. Instead, these criteria are used to identify appropriate participants, ensure their safety, and enable the investigators to answer their research questions.
Who Sponsors Clinical Trials?
Clinical trials may be sponsored by government agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), pharmaceutical companies, individual physicians or investigators, or health care institutions such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that develop medical devices or equipment. Clinical trials may be conducted in a variety of locations such as hospitals, universities, medical schools, physicians' offices, or community clinics.
How are Research Participants Protected?
The government has strict guidelines and safeguards to protect people who participate in clinical trials. Every clinical trial conducted in the United States must be approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure that any risks are as low as possible and that the potential benefits of participation outweigh the potential risks. An IRB is an independent committee of physicians, statisticians, community advocates, and others who work together to ensure that a clinical trial is ethical and that the rights of participants are protected. All institutions that conduct or support biomedical research involving people must, by federal mandate and regulation, have an IRB that initially approves and periodically reviews the research study. This includes carefully analyzing the details and circumstances of any serious side effects that may arise during the course of a clinical trial.
What is a Placebo?
A placebo (or "sugar pill") is a pill that looks identical to the study drug but contains no medication or active ingredients. Clinical trials often involve comparing the experimental treatment with a placebo in order to determine effectiveness. In a placebo-controlled study, one group of subjects receives the investigational drug while another receives a placebo. Studies of this kind are necessary in order to determine if the medicine or study drug being tested is more effective or beneficial than receiving no treatment at all, or standard therapy without the new agent.
What is a Randomized Study?
This is a clinical trial in which participants are randomly (meaning by chance, like flipping a coin) assigned to receive either the investigational drug or the placebo.
What is a Blinded Study?
This is a study in which the participants are not allowed to know what group they have been assigned. In other words, they cannot be told if they are receiving the investigational drug or a placebo.
What is a Double-Blind Study?
This is a study in which neither the participant nor the research staff is allowed to know if the participant is receiving the study drug or the placebo during the study. Studies of this nature are designed so that neither the subject's nor the researcher's expectations about the study can influence the outcome of the study.
What are Adverse Events?
Any undesired effect or consequence of the study drug or any medically important event occurring during the trial is considered an adverse event or possible side effect. Depending on the clinical trial and the potential treatment being tested, potential side effects could include various symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, skin irritations, etc…All side effects (whether minor or severe) are reported during the course of the clinical trial, and are closely monitored and reviewed in order to safeguard the health of the study participants.
What is Informed Consent?
This is the process by which essential facts of the study are explained before a person makes a decision to participate in the study. Because joining a clinical trial is an important decision, potential subjects are first given a consent form to read in full which describes the study, the potential risks and benefits, what will be required of the subjects during the trial (i.e., the number of visits you must make, if any lab work will be required, if there is any cost to the participant, etc…). The research staff will review the consent form with you. All potential subjects are encouraged to discuss any concerns or ask any questions of the research staff about the study. Individuals considering research trials are also encouraged to talk over their decision with family members, friends, or their primary physician before consenting to participate in a study. Those subjects who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the criteria for exclusion who then choose to enroll in a trial will be asked to sign the consent form that they read and had explained to them. No research procedures will be conducted before you have an opportunity to read the consent form, have it explained to you by the research staff, and agree to give your consent by signing the consent form. Participants will be given a copy of the signed consent form so that they may refer to it and review the details of the study at any time. A consent form is not a legal contract. Study subjects are allowed to withdrawal from a clinical trial at any point in the trial.
The following questions should be answered by the researchers during the informed consent process:
- What is the purpose of the study?
- Who is sponsoring the study?
- Who has reviewed and approved the research protocol?
- Why do researchers think that the investigational treatment may be beneficial?
- What kinds of procedures or tests are involved as part of the study?
- How do these procedures compare with those normally performed at my regular visit to the doctor?
- How long will the trial last and how often do the study visits occur?
- Who will provide my medical care while I am in the study and after I complete it?
- Will I be able to take my regular medications during the trial?
- What medications or procedures (if any) must I avoid while in the study?
- What are my responsibilities as a study participant?
- Will the researchers be in contact with my primary care physician?
- Will I be able to find out the results of the study?
- Are any possible risks or side effects anticipated as a result of participating in the trial?
- What other treatment options do I have?
- Will I have to pay anything to participate in the study?
- How do the potential risks and benefits anticipated with the investigational treatment compare with those related to already approved treatments currently available?
What are the Possible Benefits and Risks Associated with Clinical Trials?
Participation in a clinical trial may allow you to take a more active role in your own health care. It may allow you to gain access to the newest treatments not yet available to the general public. You may obtain expert medical care at leading health care facilities over the duration of the trial. And, you may help others by contributing to medical research.
Potential risks involved may include possible unanticipated side effects or adverse reactions to the investigational treatment. A lack of direct personal benefit may result if you are in the group that was assigned to receive a placebo instead of the study drug. There is the possibility that the investigational drug shows no benefit and is determined by the trial to be ineffective. Other potential risks may include expended time and effort necessary to participate in a clinical trial.

You have to download another version of MPlayer. Try applying the patches. If it still gives error then try --disable-mmx --disable-mmx2 and likes. Looks like MPlayer does not take advantage of AMD's special instruction set including 3D Now and SSE2. If it still does not work then it is a bug in MPlayer.

Machine Learning
An area of computer science and statistical modeling that allows a computer program to predict an outcome or make a decision without being explicitly programmed to do so.
Machine learning, which forms the basis for artificial intelligence (AI), is closely tied to data analytics and data mining programming. Both machine learning and data mining applications use mathematical algorithms to search through data and look for patterns. However, instead of extracting data for human comprehension, as is the case in data mining applications, machine learning uses algorithms to detect patterns in data and adjust program actions accordingly.
