Toucans and Costa Rica coffee start the day.
were ready as the sun set.
Upstairs crowning the roof is the mirador that gives you a 360 degree view of jungle, ocean, and the flowers It has a bar and just what we needed; our internet connection but there was more than what we had expected. While typing away we could hear some loud splashing. He or she , the Humpback whale ,was jumping and splashing just for us.
Wow, but the afternoon show wasn't finished the next day the white faced monkeys started chattering , swinging, and sounding off to one another as they scampered through the bushes on the side of this pristine property. Think they were checking to see if the bananas were ripe yet. What a show, right at the brand new retreat that we call paradise.
When we arrived everything was ready for us ; this exclusive retreat is in harmony with todays up to the minute standards and in perfect condition. We wanted for nothing. The bedrooms with baths are all private and the details exceptional, some with balconies .
If you like to play chef you can enjoy the scenery, cook, grill outside on a special patio overlooking the pool , serve on the kitchen island or just set a tropical table in the dinning area that can accommodate at least eight people with room for more.
All the furniture has been hand crafted in Costa Rica and is in keeping with the tropical, sleek , and exquisite setting. This is a very special retreat in a very pretty, pristine setting. Even the placement of the swimming pool overlooks the ocean and is positioned that you can enjoy swimming in the shade if need be.
If you want great restaurants, great views, very good near shore fishing ( caught three Spanish mackerels, grilled them, unspoiled beaches, and want to enjoy a people who are respectful and in tune with the ecology of the land, and make you feel welcome , this is it. It is our little rented heaven that we found. We will be back
again and again. We rate this property excellent and it's sparkling new.

ZFS on Linux machine
Here is my ZFS on Linux story, and some of you might have seen these pictures when I started this project last year: I recycled an old Athlon system from work and placed an 35 Watt AMD A2 processor with 8GB 1600 ram on an Asus mobo in it. I name my home systems after after cacti, and after I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it, I named this one Beavertail.bitratchet.net.
My previous experiences with storage systems involved them dying from heat. So I decided I would avoid full sized drives and stick with laptop drives and boot off an SSD. I have the SSD partitioned with a /boot, root, and two more partitions for ZIL and L2ARC. The bulk of the storage is a mix of 750GB Hitachi and 500GB Toshiba laptop hard drives, 16 total. I have lost two drives in this system, which I would label "normal drive attrition." Boot drive is a 128GB OCZ Vertex 2.
Half the drives are on the bottom, and half are on top. At work I have access to gobs of full-height card brackets and this is what I built drive cages out of.
To get all the drives wired up, I started with a bunch of 1x and 2x PCIe sata expanders and used up all my mobo sata ports, but by the time I got to about 12 drives, I only had a PCI slot left, so had to use that. When looking at my disk utilization in iostat -Nx and dstat --disk-util it was plainly clear that I had a swath of drives underperforming and they were all connected to the slowest PCI controller.
I saved up and remedied that by purchasing two SuperMicro SAS HBA's with Marvel chipsets. They are only 3G SATA (equivalent) but they each control eight drives, and they do so consistently. They take 8x PCIe lanes, and that's great use for the two 16x PCIe slots on the mobo.
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9485 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s controller (rev c3) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
It took me a while to find out my network bandwidth issues. The problem was my motherboard: it has an onboard Realtek chipset. It would max out at 500Mbps download and 250Mbps upload…and very often wedge the system. I got a PCIe 1x Instell card and I got a good clean 955Mbps both ways out of that with one iperf stream, and 985+Mpbs with two iperf streams. To actually achieve this, I needed to put an Intel nic in my workstation as well. (My switch is a 16-port unmanaged Zyxel).
I am able to push close to full network capacity to Beavertail. As you can see, the results speak for themselves: the screenie below shows iftop displaying better than 880Mps and I saw it grab 910Mbps during this backup. Clearly part of the success is having a Samsung 840EVO in my laptop, but having a stripe of four zvols clearly allows plenty of IO headroom.
Here are some other nerdy stats, mostly on how my drives are arranged:
> zpool status -v pool: tank state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected. action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'. see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-9P scan: scrub repaired 0 in 4h43m with 0 errors on Sat Sep 6 00:13:22 2014 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM tank ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G9PDPC ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G9SBBC ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G6GMGC ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G95REC ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G9LH9C ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G95JPC ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G6LUDC ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-Hitachi_HTS547575A9E384_J2190059G5PXYC ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-2 ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_X3EJSVUOS ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_X3EJSVUNS ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_933PTT11T ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_933PTT17T ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-3 ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_933PTT12T ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_933PTT13T ONLINE 0 0 2 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_933PTT14T ONLINE 0 0 2 ata-TOSHIBA_MQ01ABD050_933PTT0ZT ONLINE 0 0 0 logs ata-OCZ-AGILITY4_OCZ-77Z13FI634825PNW-part5 ONLINE 0 0 0 cache ata-OCZ-AGILITY4_OCZ-77Z13FI634825PNW-part6 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors
And to finish up, this system has withstood a series of in-place Ubuntu upgrades. It is now running 14.04. My advice on this, and Linux kernels is this:
- Do not rush to install new mainline kernels, you have to wait for dkms and spl libraries to sync up with mainline and to send out PPA updates through the ubuntu-zfs ppa.
- If you do a dist-upgrade and reboot, and your zpool does not return on reboot, this is easily fixed by doing a ubuntu-zfs reinstall: apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-zfs. This will re-link your kernel modules and you should be good to go.
Like I said, this has been working for four releases of Ubuntu for me, along with replacing controllers anbd drives. My only complaint is that doing sequences of small file operations in it tends to bring the speed down a lot (or has, have not recreated on 14.04 yet). But for streaming large files, I get massive throughput…which is great for my large photo collection!

This is why we need copyright reform, and we need to invest in truly civilian Internet spaces. Things like youtube are entirely taken for granted but they live at nothing more than the whim of corporations, with no actual rights of free speech on them.
The whole Google and "right to be forgotten" drama is another case where civilian government is unable to form a basis for a search engine for a search engine ruled by civilian law. We act as if Google is a utility…and while it might be a de-facto utility, it is not, and it is ephemeral and as temporary as its stock price lives well.

Keep that Laptop from Racing thru Battery
Linux and Laptops: a long, old story. However, one that with a bit homework, helps get the most out of your battery. Using powertop, you can see your energy usage profile and your device power settings. The downside to powertop is that you cannot "export as shell script." (Seriously, y u no export?) To get these power savings on boot, I wrote my own script.
1 #!/bin/bash 2 /usr/sbin/rfkill block 0 #bt 3 /usr/sbin/rfkill block 1 #wifi 4 /usr/sbin/rfkill block 2 #bt 5 for i in /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/link_power_management_policy 6 do 7 echo "min_power" > $i 8 done 9 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog 10 echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save 11 echo 60000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 12 13 find /sys/devices/ \ 14 | grep 'power/control' \ 15 | while read i 16 do 17 echo -n "$i@" 18 cat $i 2>/dev/nulll 19 done \ 20 | grep -v auto \ 21 | awk -F@ '{print $1}' > /tmp/sleepy.tmp 22 23 for i in `cat /tmp/sleepy.tmp` 24 do 25 echo "auto" > $i 26 done 27 28 for i in `find /sys -name autosuspend -exec echo {} \;` 29 do 30 echo "1" > $i 31 done 32 33 find /sys/devices/pci0000:00 -type f -iname autosuspend_delay_ms \ 34 -exec echo "1000" > {} \; 35 36 for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/power/autosuspend_delay_ms 37 do 38 echo "1000" > $i 39 done 40 41 for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/power/autosuspend 42 do 43 echo "1" > $i 44 done 45 46 for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend 47 do 48 echo "1" > $i 49 done 50 51 webcamDev=$( lsusb | grep -i webcam | awk '{print $2 "-" $4 }' | tr -d ':0' ) 52 if [ ! -z "$webcamDev" ] 53 then 54 echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/$webcamDev/power/autosuspend 55 echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/$webcamDev/power/level 56 echo 1000 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/$webcamDev/power/autosuspend_delay_ms 57 fi 58 59 # eof
The best way to run this script is to open two windows, one running powertop, the other for this script. After adjusting this script, type r in the powertop window to refresh the device stats. I was able to take my T60 from 30.1W down to somewhere between 19.8 – 16.1W. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that 16.1W reading since.
I hope this serves as a good starting point for your own laptop power savings! And not just laptops, but this script can also be used for home NAS or media center or other small servers where you need thermal management, too.
Thoughts on my GSII
Having a mobile phone is kind of like holding an open beer and not sipping. However, if I wanted to take a sip out of this phone, it would repeatedly place the pull tab over the mouth of the can, the brew would slosh up when the can was not being held, the beer would mysteriously pause after the first tip, then it would run backwards back up into the can and fall forward again. Repeatedly.
The screen on this phone seems always to think some of the lower buttons are getting tapped. This might be due to the case I put on the phone, but I did my best to carve a bunch off. Google voice jumps up most annoyingly as soon as I start to do something.
And battery life is atrocious. I it seems like the actual phone life is closer to 100 minutes judging from how quickly I see the battery tick down from 100% even if I have wifi and mobile data off. Checking email on it is frustrating and it brings to mind how much I have to refine my gmail filters because I do not want to see donation requests on my phone, that seems like a complete waste of my battery, data and attention.
Having a flip-phone was actually more relaxing.

Prime minister Narendra Modi has set the priority for the finance secretary Arvind Mayaram. In a meeting with the secretaries of the various ministries on Wednesday, gesturing at Mayaram, Modi said that inflation should be topmost priority of the finance ministry.
The two other diktats that he issued to the top babus was to have 'zero tolerance' on corruption and to pull up their socks to work six days a week. Modi also wants the secretaries to ensure cosmetic appeal of their departments.
According to a secretary who attended Modi's briefing on Wednesday, department heads were asked to ensure cleanliness in their offices as he wants to offer "congenial environment" to work for the employees.
"As soon as the meeting began, Modi said looking at Mayaram that inflation is the first and foremost thing that the ministry needed to handle. Modi has asked Mayaram to include inflation in the first hundred days' agenda and work out a plan to handle," an official told dna.
Finance ministry sources said a workable plan to address the supply-side issues to handle inflation will be submitted to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) soon.
Wholesale Price Index based Inflation has gone up to 5.20%, compared with 4.68% in February. Food inflation too is soaring over 9.10%. To make the matters worse, the meteorological department has predicted a below average rainfall in the monsoon season, which may send food prices skyrocketing. Modi also advised the key secretaries to have 'zero tolerance' on matters related to corruption and asked them to work six days a week, given the voluminous amount of work, especially in the infrastructure ministries, which are sitting on a pile of pending projects.
Talking about Modi's point of view on clean office, information and broadcasting secretary Bimal Julka told dna, "He (PM) stressed on cleanliness. He said he wants to give employees congenial environment to work. Instead of files and paper work, he said more and more work should be done on the internet."
Another secretary who too attended the meeting said the PM also shared the anecdote of his experience at the PMO.
"I think he found stack of files in different rooms in PMO. He said it became difficult for him to enter there. So he said why can't we make it more systematic and organised," said the official.
As many as 80 secretaries were present at the meeting. It wasn't a monologue, secretaries were first asked to share their view on governance first and then PM Modi spoke to them in a free flowing speech.
Three senior bureaucrats dna spoke to said the PM was very polite, encouraged everybody to open their hearts. He even told them to facilitate their work, he was ready to change laws. And asked them to give him list of laws that hamper their work. They said they found the new PM accommodative and workman-like with whom they will feel comfortable to work with.

NASA's Perpetual Ocean animation turns ocean currents into art
NASA's stunning Perpetual Ocean animation visualizes ocean currents (Image: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center)
Article Summary
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is an unlikely entrant in the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival. Its "Perpetual World" animation may have failed to appeal to the judging committee of the 2011 edition of the competition, but it sure succeeded in catching our eye. The jaw-dropping animation visualizes the flow of surface ocean currents around the world. The raw data regarding the currents from June 2005 through to December 2007 has been turned into a work of art reminiscent of van Gogh.

Good Morning,
My Wife gave birth to our wonderful son on 10/11/12. She has been an excellent Mom and he has exclusively been on breastmilk for his entire life.
The problem is she has tapped her supply and his having trouble keeping up. She Breastfeeds in the morning before work and at night after work. We send him to Day care each day with about 16 OZ in 3 bottles and he seems to be happy with that for now. He is at Daycare from 7:15 to 4:00. This has grown from 12 oz in the last month. He is a small boy at 12 lbs at 4 months. (He was blessed with small parents. :)) He also has acid reflux and is on prevacid solutab, which has worked wonders!
She is pumping 4 times a day with an Ameda Ultra double pump. She is getting between 14 and 16 oz per day total most days. Pumping times are in the morning about an hour before feeding him after sleeping all night. Once at noon at work. Once right when she gets home before she feeds him again because he ate recently at day care. She does have to take a medicine for high blood pressure that our peditrician and her prenatal doctor said was fine while breastfeeding. It is a super low dose of Amlodipine I think.(Does High blood pressure meds slow down supply?)
All that being said I think we need to feed him 18-20 Oz per day while at day care and I don't know how to help get her there. Should we:
1. Try another pump? She feels like if she sleeps all night she should be getting more than 3.5 to 5 ounces total during that pumping session.
2. Pump a 5th time? She already doesn't like pumping. I truthfully do not know how any of you Ladies do it and commend you!
3. Supplement Formula? Doctor suggests this if we have to. Sub one bottle of Formula maybe twice a day. I hope this does not make him dislike breastmilk. He has had a pooping problem recently and does not have a problem sucking down some prune juice.
4. Any other ideas that will work?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and really appreciate any advice and feedback given.
Have a wonderful day!

Hoosiers Travel to Penn Relays
April 22, 2014
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana track & field team will compete this week in one of the most famous track meets of the year, with over 22,000 athletes annually and crowds of over 25,000 on each day, the 120th running of the Penn Relays April 24-26 in Philadelphia.
The Hoosiers have had success historically at the Penn Relays, winning 13 Championship of America relay races.
Last year at the Penn Relays IU alum Derek Drouin won his third high jump title at broke a 37-year old facility record held by two-time Olympic medalist and three-time world record holder Dwight Stones.
This year's edition of the Hoosiers will compete in several field events, running events and relay races. Freshman Tre'Tez Kinnaiard, who was an All-American on the Hoosiers indoor distance medley relay team ran 1:47.99 at the Kentucky Relays last weekend, the fourth fastest time in school history and fastest time for an IU runner in the last 26 years. Kinnaird will run on the Hoosiers 4X800-meter relay and distance medley relay.
The Indiana men's distance medley relay will be the same group that captured All-America honors with a third-place finish at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships.
The Hoosiers will also try to go after the school record in the 4X800-meter relay. Kinnaird will be teamed up with sophomore Jordan Gornall and Rorey Hunter, who were also on the IU DMR at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Hunter won the mile run at the Kentucky Relays in 4:00.97, the sixth fastest time in school history.
Senior Kelsie Ahbe will compete in the pole vault. Ahbe won the event at the Border Battle with a track record and second best mark in school history of 4.32m (14-2). Senior Kyla Buckley will compete in the shot put and holds the fifth best mark in the NCAA this season of 17.08m.
The first Penn Relays was a smash success. Held on April 21, 1895, in conjunction with the University's Spring Handicap Track and Field Games, the meet, now the longest uninterrupted collegiate track meet in the country, was a greater success than hoped for, drawing an attendance of approximately 5,000, the largest track and field crowd to that time in Philadelphia. At the dawn of the 20th century, track and field in the United States was centered around the three large eastern cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, so it is evident that in addition to being the largest track crowd in Philadelphia, it was immediately one of the largest ever in America.
This year there will be more than 22,000 entries, about half of whom will be high schoolers, and the three-day attendance is likely to top 110,000 for the third year in a row. Saturday attendance has averaged 48,000 for the last six years, and makes the meet the best-attended track event in the United States each year, and one of the best attended in the world.

33 year old woman | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 29 miles
Active within 24 hours
Hmm, so basically I decided to try this thing out because of some good recommendations- and - according to the commercials, and great marketing job done by match, 1 in 5 relationships, people!! Ha, anyway, about me- I definitely like to go out and have fun, and especially love to be outdoors in the summer- either laying out by the Lake, street fests, baseball games, or out for some drinks at night. I'm typically pretty active, but also really enjoy just relaxing and being low-key, watching TV or hanging outside. I like to take care of myself and keep a (mainly :) ) healthy lifestyle so I enjoy running and eating healthy- but definitely love to splurge every once in a while (I just love sugar too much!). I'm also currently going back to school for my MBA and always seeking ways to better myself, so I'm looking for someone who has some similar goals to keep moving forward, but can appreciate the simple things in life and has a good sense of humor. Overall, would love to meet some great quality people!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Baseball, Dancing, Running, Swimming
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs, Horses
I have a lovable big black cat named Valentino ;)
Middle of the Road
I like exploring new places to go in Chicago - So many restaurants and bars I've never been, but would like to try. Tropical vacations are always nice - huge fan of Hawaii :)
Big fan of 30 Rock (so sad it's gone), also most of those crazy shows on TLC- and lamely, I love Dateline. I love popcorn and have a bag pretty much every day. Have to admit I do like shopping! I like dance music, rap, classic rock, love to read.
I love going out on the weekends, but also just relaxing. I like to be outside doing something when it's nice out. I'm definitely not opposed to low key nights which for me usually consist of working out, getting Starbucks and going to Target! :)
I love reading as much as I can, mostly classics- American Tragedy was one of the last noteworthy books I read. Otherwise, it's whichever text I have to read for class - Financial Management def wasn't the most interesting!

Encholirium agavoides
Encholirium agavoides
Species information
Encholirium agavoides Forzza & Zappi
Rated by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) as Vulnerable (D2).
Campos rupestres (montane subtropical savanna).
The leaves of this species are spiny at the edges.
About this species
Encholirium agavoides is a silver-leaved bromeliad which occurs in a very specific habitat, within an area of less than 10 km². The population of this species is just 10 - 12 km away from another new species (E. ctenophyllum). These two species are cut off from one another by the steep descent to the gorge of the Rio das Pedras. This river divides the municipalities of Santana de Pirapama (where E. agavoides is found) and Santana do Riacho (where E. ctenophyllum occurs).
Discover more
Geography and distribution
Encholirium agavoides is restricted to the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This species is a narrow endemic, occurring only in a very limited area on the west slope of the Serra do Cipó, at or around 1,500 metres above sea level. It is found forming large populations growing on top of flat to slightly inclined arenitic/quartzitic rocks.
Of the 23 species of Encholirium, nine are restricted to the 'campos rupestres' of the Cadeia do Espinhaço in Minas Gerais, and seven of these are narrow endemics in the region of Diamantina and Serra do Cipó. The discovery of more narrowly endemic species in this relatively well explored area of the Cadeia do Espinhaço highlights the complexity of the micro-habitats and the high plant diversity and endemism of the 'campos rupestres'.
This striking new silver-leaved species of bromeliad bears a resemblance to an agave. It has rosettes of leaves up to 12 cm wide, with silvery-white, triangular leaves that are spiny along the edges.
The green to yellowish flowers are borne in terminal spikes and are densely packed at the end of the inflorescence (flower-bearing structure).
The fruits are brown and capsular, with minute seeds. This species is thought to be pollinated by insects, and the seeds dispersed by the wind.
Threats and conservation
This plant is a narrow endemic (occurs only in a very limited area) and is hence vulnerable to climate change, fire and habitat destruction.

Bonavista Energy Corporation Announces Third Quarter Dividend Policy
Thursday, July 14, 2011
Bonavista Energy Corporation Announces Third Quarter Dividend Policy16:01 EDT Thursday, July 14, 2011CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2011) - Bonavista Energy Corporation (TSX:BNP) ("Bonavista") announces today that its Board of Directors has approved the current dividend policy of $0.12 per common share per month for the third quarter of 2011, based on current economic conditions and results of operations of our business. Our objective is to set a prudent dividend policy that provides an attractive cash return to our shareholders, while reinvesting the remainder of our funds from operations to increase our production and equity value. This in turn, will strengthen our asset base, which will allow for consistent or modestly increasing dividend levels in the future. Our dividend policy is reviewed monthly and is based on a number of factors including current and future commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, our commodity hedging program, current operations and future investment opportunities. We continually monitor the impact of all these factors and adjust our dividend and capital programs as conditions dictate. Bonavista has declared this dividend to be paid on August 15, 2011 to common shareholders of record on July 31, 2011 with an ex-dividend date of July 27, 2011.Record DateEx-Dividend DateDividend DateDividend per Common ShareJuly 31, 2011July 27, 2011August 15, 2011$0.12August 31, 2011August 29, 2011September 15, 2011$0.12 (i)September 30, 2011September 28, 2011October 17, 2011$0.12 (i)(i) The above reflects an anticipated dividend based on Bonavista's currently projected commodity prices, commodity hedge positions and production volumes. Dividends are subject to change should there be a material change in forecasted funds from operations for the respective periods.Currently, Bonavista has 135.9 million common shares and 21.3 million exchangeable shares outstanding. The exchangeable shares are convertible into 21.7 million common shares based on the current exchange ratio, which is adjusted monthly to reflect the dividends paid on the common shares. Cash dividends are not paid on the exchangeable shares, nor are the exchangeable shares publicly traded.Bonavista is focused on a balanced commodity approach and is committed to operating high quality oil and natural gas properties, delivering sustainable dividends to shareholders and providing modest production growth while maintaining financial strength and flexibility.Forward Looking StatementsCorporate information provided herein contains forward-looking information. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, particularly those pertaining to cash dividends, production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs and drilling results, which are considered reasonable by Bonavista at the time of preparation, may be proven to be incorrect. Actual results achieved during the forecast period will vary from the information provided herein and the variations may be material. There is no representation by Bonavista that actual results achieved during the forecast period will be the same in whole or in part as those forecasts.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Keith A.

Latest Submillimetre astronomy Stories
Questions surrounding the glowing gaseous halo extending from a massive early galaxy that have puzzled astronomers since its discovery in 2009 have finally been answered by research appearing in a recent edition of The Astrophysical Journal.
Astronomers have managed to get an up close and personal look at the nearby starburst galaxy M82, detecting concentrations of dense molecular gas surrounding regions of intense star formation and streams of material exiting the galaxy's disk.
The bubbly birth of a bouncing baby star has been revealed by observations Spitzer and the newly completed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile.
The final antenna for the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) project has just been handed over to the ALMA Observatory.
A new, powerful viewing instrument installed on the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment has already given astronomers a detailed view of the Cat's Paw Nebula.
Despite its remoteness and unique scientific work environment, the ALMA observatory in Chile is not immune to the disputes between workers and management that affect every other industry.
Astronomers say they have used the ALMA telescope to obtain a close-up view of material streaming away from a newborn star.
Astronomers at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope have announced the discovery of a distant solar system's "snow line" about 175 light years away.
Astronomers used ESO's Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter array to gain one of the best views yet of a star in the process of forming.

According to David Jones, the global chief executive of Havas, the promotion acknowledges the work Robertson has done in delivering change at the UK agencies currently under her control.
He added that her brief was to export this model – which puts digital integration at the heart of agencies – to the global businesses.
Robertson will work alongside Andrew Benett. The pair will share the day-to-day running of the network, reporting to Jones.
Robertson said: "Building a new company from an existing one is the toughest gig in business – but that's what we're doing with digital inside all our units and all our disciplines."
She will remain the chairman of Havas Worldwide agencies in the UK.

19 November 2013 15:49 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--The European naphtha differential over ICE Brent crude oil futures fell week on week to minus $5.20/bbl on Tuesday, from a yearly high, as market participants deemed high-volume exports to Asia to be 'a bit overdone'.
The Asian arbitrage had opened after months of being shut, and driven the strength in the naphtha differential over Brent crude.
"1.6 million tonnes are being exported in November. Its been a bit overdone," a naphtha trader said.
Asian markets have received too much product for buying appetite to persist, a naphtha buyer said.
"There were many cargoes going to the East and many ships were being fixed but nobody knows if it will continue. So there is doubt in the market," the buyer said.
Over the past couple of weeks, Europe has exported a minimum of 1,484,000 tonnes of naphtha to the Asia-Pacific region, ICIS shipping data revealed.
The volumes for the week ending on 8 November were the highest single-week fixtures the market has seen in a long time, and had helped support a bullish sentiment in the naphtha market.
The differential - or the 'crack spread' - was at at a record high for 2013 at minus $3.95/bbl on Tuesday 12 November, as exports to Asia continued at exceptionally high volumes.

Attack on Titan #14:
Levi: Squealing louder wont help your case, pig. While were bolstering our defenses, do you think the Titans are going to stand idly by? And when you say we cant afford, do you speak for anyone other than your fat merchant friends? Do you pigs even realize that most of our people are struggling just to survive off what little land we have left?
Eren: What does it even matter? (What am I saying?) You havent even seen a Titan. So why are you so afraid, huh?! (Maybe I should just keep quiet. No! If they want to kill me, Ill let them know exactly what I think!) Theres no sense in having power if youre not going to use it to fight! If youre too scared to fight for your lives, fine! Let me do it! You! Youre all cowards!
MP: What?
Eren: JUST SHUT UP AND PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME!
Bleach #355:
Omaeda: For starters, Im gonna take out the easy-to-knock-down womens kites first.
Rangiku: Marechiyo! Youre nothing but a cheap-shotting bully!
Omaeda: No, Im smart! All women are naturally weaker, so its a no-brainer!
Nanao: Hado Number 31: Shakkaho!
Omaeda: Ahhh! Oh no, the Captains gonna kill me!
Nanao: So you think women are too weak and easy prey! I cant believe youre stupid enough to say that out loud! Youll pay for your insults!
Byakuya: Isana wore that very kimono when she performed at the celebration dance. And you should wear it as well when you dance at this years ceremony.
Rukia: You mean that?
Byakuya: However, its not the kimono that matters. Whats more important is the attitude you have during the dance. You know what I mean by that. There was someone else who told you the same thing way before I did.
Rukia: Now I understand. Thats why Renji did all those things with me.
Space Dandy #19:
Narrator: Where does one find a dandy man in the vast infinity of space? Just left of camera, it would seem.
*laugh track*
Narrator: You probably picked up on this already, but a Cloudian reflects his feelings through color and weather conditions within his cloud.
*Scarlet and Gentle glare at him*
Narrator: Oh, did I kill the mood? You kids go right ahead.
*laugh track*
Gentle: Capturing me is no easy task. Youre as like to catch a cloud in a butterfly net.
*laugh track*
Dandy: This place haunted, or do you have a laugh track with low standards?
Gentle: Well, your sense of hearing is quite keen! Atmo, you too, Sphere, hold your tongue.
Dandy: Say what?
Gentle: Theyre known as Ambiancians. I hired them to help out around the ship, but drat the luck, all they do is chime in like that.
Ambiancians: Aww.
Meow: Are they registered, or ?
QT: How would we transport them?
Naruto Shippuden #32:
*Tobi finds Sasoris ring*
Tobi: Maybe now, I can become a member of the Akatsuki, huh? After all, theres an open spot now, right?
Dark Zetsu: Fool! Do you really think its that easy?
Light Zetsu: Oh, come on, why not let him join? Tobis a good boy.
Ebizo: She didnt want a headstone on her grave. But despite her wishes, I thought it was better to have one. I felt sure that people would want a place to come to remember her.
Sai: Forgive me. I read that in order to win people over, one must be able to smile. Ive been practicing, but creating facial expressions, its still quite difficult for me.
One Piece #266:
Man: I estimate our current casualties at five DURRRGGHHH!
Spandam: Five men? Weve only lost five of our guards? Jeez! How in the world could you make such an obvious mistake?!
Man: Five hundred
Kalifa: Its all right, chief. Weve always known how weak you are.
Spandam: Uh?! Come on now, Kalifa, theres no need to be so blunt about it.
Kalifa: Thats sexual harassment.
Spandam: What?! Because I replied to you?!
Kalifa: By the way
Spandam: Huh? What now?
Kalifa: Thats sexual harassment.
Spandam: Ugh! My existence?!
Jabra: I see now. I never knew you lost your mother.
Kumadori: We have long fought, but now we can find solace in each others plights.
Jabra: Yeah, despite all the cruel things Ive said, I understand your pain. I know what it feels like to lose a loved one.
Kumadori: Mother dear!
Jabra: Gatherine! Am I not good enough for you?!
Kumadori: I miss you!
*Kabuki curtain closes the play*
Kalifa: Chief.
Spandam: Uh, yes?
Kalifa: Their play is over. We can continue.
Spandam: Oh, right.
Blue Exorcist #25 (FINALE):
Satan: Why would my sons mine and Yuris own flash and blood why would you destroy our dream?!
Rin: We dont give a damn about your dream!
Yukio: We just want to protect
Rin: the people we care about!
Yukio: And the world we live in!
Rin and Yukio: Well always protect them!
Satan: AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
Satan: Yuri, forgive me. I couldnt make your dream come true.
Yuri: You were too impatient. Neither of us knows if the path we chose was the right one. Thats something for our children to find out for us.
Shiemi: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO THINKING?! HOW COULD YOU BE SO RECKLESS?!
Rin and Yukio: Whoa! Busted!
Do me a favor, dont make me worry like that again!
Yukio: We wont. I promise.
Rin: What are you, our mom?
Beward the Batman #14:
Ras: Your citys benefactor, Bruce Wayne, has provided me a weapon of limitless power. In his arrogance, Wayne thought he could bring light to the world like a god. Gotham is now the head of a beast whose tentacles will bring darkness to whatever they touch, and in turn deliver power to me; power to drain countries of their wealth or crush them with their own warheads, turning their citizens into slaves. All through a system already in place: the Internet. Who is the god now?
Gordon: Who taught you how to drive stick anyhow?
Barbara: Video games.
Batman: You? Why?
Silver Monkey: Freedom has no meaing without honor. Even enemies must abide their debts. I believe you called it a paradox.
Black Lagoon (Second Barrage) #21:

By S. Blair Fox
-+*Treva Brandon Scharf: Can't afford a gym membership? Get bored easily by exercise? Don't want to run into your ex at Equinox? No problem! There's always the great outdoors – otherwise known as your local park.
-+*Walter Moss: There is little chance that any Republican nominee will put dealing with climate change at the center of his/her agenda, but we progressives should insure that at least the Democratic nominee does.
-+*Annette Bernhardt: The inequality debate often focuses on globalization and new technology, but we know that the decline of unions and the falling real value of the minimum wage have also played critical roles.

The investment seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd PM Fix Price/USD.

The gold bullion is held in allocated gold bars with the residual amount held in unallocated gold in a segregated account with JP Morgan Chase Bank acting as Custodian and Deutsche Bank as Trustee. The investment return is achieved by holding gold bullion which is valued daily at the London PM fixing price.
