The S&P 500 posted a weekly loss for the first time in five weeks, setting off alarms that the bull market's sustainability may be at risk. So as Wall Street suffered through a gloomy week of rain and stock losses, we went in search of a ray of sunshine to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.
We found Wayne Nordberg, chairman and chief investment officer of Hollow Brook Wealth Management, who provided a laundry list of positivity: Private employment is up. Public spending is down. The deficit is shrinking. Companies are flush with cash. Housing has begun to grow again, as has U.S. manufacturing. And last, but not least, the U.S. may be on the verge of energy independence.
"We are at the early stages of a multiyear bull market," says Nordberg, who believes that U.S. stocks could climb as much as 50% over the next two years. Before the bull departs, funds will flow out of fixed income and into equities, he says. Nordberg, who is far from a perma-bull, cites work done by Charles Gave, chairman of GaveKal Research, to bolster his case:
Of the world's $209 trillion of financial assets, roughly $45 trillion is invested in government debt, $65 trillion is in loans, and $46 trillion is in corporate debt. With inflation at 2%, investors are poised to lock in real losses on three-quarters of the world's investible assets. The Fed has suppressed yields and volatility, Gave warns, and investors don't understand the risks they are taking when buying fixed-income products. Mispriced capital means that companies that should be going bankrupt are continuing to exist, and some areas of the economy are suffering from overinvestment.
"When volatility reappears in the bond market, you could have the mother of Black Swans," says Gave.
Commodities such as steel may be suffering from misallocated capital. Morgan Stanley estimates that since 2000, the global steel industry has added nearly one billion metric tons of crude-steel capacity, while production and demand growth were much lower, near 700 million tons. The nearly 300 million tons of excess capacity could prevent an industry turnaround anytime soon.
At least in equities, Gave says, volatility is being correctly priced. His suggestion: Buy knowledge-based companies without fixed costs in the technology, health-care, and energy industries. Stay away from banks, because their bond holdings will be hurt as the fixed-income markets correct. Avoid European exposure because France is heading toward insolvency and the euro could dissolve, he warns.
U.S. corporate earnings will have to come through for equity investors to gain confidence that stock markets can head higher. First-quarter operating earnings growth at 3.3% was nothing to write home about, though on an absolute basis, at $26.47 a share, it was a quarterly record, according to John Butters, a senior earnings analyst at Factset. Growth will slow even further in the current quarter to 1.4%, but the second half of the year looks much better.
Analysts are expecting earnings growth of 7.8% and 13% in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, which would bring quarterly earnings to $29.38 a share.
It's always dangerous to depend on second-half earnings estimates to propel a market. But this year, companies have very modest results in 2012 to compare against. Earnings fell 1.1% in last year's third quarter, primarily because of a sharp profit decline in the energy and materials sectors, and they rose only 4.2% in the fourth quarter. So the hurdles to achieving sunny returns aren't very high.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, the store is offering 20% discounts on merchandise purchased with a J.C. Penney credit card.
Penney's increasing promotional activity was flagged by Morgan Stanley analyst Kimberly Greenberger. Roughly 60% of the store was on sale when she checked in mid-May, versus only 35%-40% two weeks prior and just a selected few "month-long values" last year, she wrote last week.
The strong promotional activity may start to put pressure on the competition. "Increased unit sales by J.C. Penney will hurt many of those it helped over the past year- plus," wrote David Berman, president of Durban Capital in early April.

Sure enough, Sears Holdings reported disappointing numbers last week, and its shares tumbled 14% on Friday. Penney's promotions could sink Sears' attempts to right the ship. Other retailers should consider themselves on notice.

VIZIANAGARAM: In spite of completing two mega drinking water schemes at a cost of Rs. 9 crores and Rs. 10 crores respectively some 49 villages in Nellimarla, Gurla, Gantyada and Bondapalli mandals have not been receiving water due to lack of clearances from railways.
According to RWS sources, the Rs. 9-crore mega Ramatheertham water scheme was divided into three packages for quick execution and supply of water to seven villages under Moida package, 16 villages under N.R. Peta package and 27 villages under SSR Peta package.
Barring Moida and NR Peta packages, water to 27 villages under SSR package could not be supplied because a pipeline must have to be laid across a railway track.
Executive Engineer (RWS) (Projects) M. Rajeswara Rao had written several letters to Railways for clearance but there was no response from railway officials, the sources said.
Similarly, the Budathanapalli package, which was part of the Rs. 10-crore Gosthani scheme could not be completed as a clearance from railways was required for laying a pipeline from underneath a track near Budathanapalli. The package was sanctioned in 2003.
Army recruitment rally
Army recruitment rally is being organised at Sardar Patel Stadium in Khammam from October 22 to 28, according to District Youth Welfare Officer R. Tyagaraju.
In a press release, he said that those who were selected in the physical fitness tests at the rally held here in May this year and had failed in the written test could avail of the opportunity.
The recruitment rally would be held for Soldier Tradesmen, Soldier General Duty (non-Matric), Soldier General Duty, Soldier Technical and Soldier Clerk/Store Keeper Technical.
Interested candidates must have passed class 5 and 8 for Soldier Tradesmen and Soldier General Duty (non-Matric) respectively, class 10 with minimum pass percentage of 45 per cent for Soldier General Duty and Intermediate for Soldier Technical and Soldier Clerk/Store Keeper Technical.
Affidavits such as caste, residential and date of birth having bar code and SSID number issued by Tehsildar on a
computer copy in English would be considered. For more details contact the DYWO on 08922-273768.

Brendan Shanahan is now in control of the NHL's disciplinary actions in the NHL offices. Along with that comes the implementation/tweaking of rules, and he introduced a couple new items to teams with videos sent to preseason camps.
The rule changes come as no surprise to anybody as they are an attempt to help take out the dangerous hits from hockey, something the NHL has been working on for a few years.
The first rule specifically addresses hits to the head and tries to clarify the rule, make it simpler for the players to follow. Much like the NFL with their hits on defenseless receivers and to the head, there has been plenty of gray area as to what's legal and what's not.
Here's what the league posted on it's official website.
The NHL changed Rule 48 to render illegal all hits where the head is targeted in an intentional and/or reckless way and is the principal point of contact. A minor penalty will be assessed for infractions of this rule and the possibility of supplementary discipline exists.
The referee can use his judgment to determine if the player put himself in a vulnerable position immediately prior to or simultaneous with being hit, as well as if the contact with the head on an otherwise legal body check was avoidable.
"Now, the confusion some of the players have expressed in the past as to what direction they're approaching a player, what direction a player is facing, east, west, north, south, that has all been taken out," Shanahan said. "Anywhere on the ice, coming from any direction, you target the head and make it a principal point of contact, you'll be subject to a two-minute penalty. You'll also be -- as with all two-minute penalties or non-calls -- subject to supplementary discipline."
That does help remove the question marks. Defining it as straight as the head being the principal point of contact is pretty clear.
The other rule that Shanahan and Co. made some changes to are in boarding.
The boarding rule was amended in several ways in order to put the focus on the violent -- and possibly dangerous -- contact with the boards rather than the actual point of contact.
This season, a boarding penalty will be assessed to a player who checks or pushes a defenseless player in a manner that causes the player to have a potentially violent and/or dangerous impact with the boards. The word "pushes" was added to the rule and "defenseless" replaced the word "vulnerable."
The onus now is going to be on the player applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a defenseless position. If he is, the player applying the hit must avoid or, at the very least, minimize the contact.
"What we did is we took the onus off the violence of the hit itself and added the word 'push' in there," Shanahan said. "It really has more to do with the violence in the collision with the boards. We don't necessarily think it has to be a violent hit to cause a violent crash, so we broadened the rule by putting in the word 'push.'"
These are all a work in progress. But the goal of eliminating the career-threatening hits that we've seen in the NHL is one they will continue to work toward while keeping the integrity of the game and a transparency for the players.

How do I show him how much he means to me?
Question Posted Monday March 21 2011, 6:39 pm
I'm fifteen. I am in a great relationship with one of the most amazing guys I have ever known. We have been dating for about three months now, and I am so happy. This relationship is trusting and open, and it's just a wonderful thing to be in a relationship without fear of loving again. Anyway, I usually write him little love notes, and he really likes when I do that. But I really want to show him how much I love and appreciate him. He buys me gifts and treats me like I'm the world, and I really want to show my gratitude to him another way besides notes and material things. What do you suggest?

The D.C. Circuit last week denied the Department of Energy's (DOE) petition for en banc review of the court's November decision holding that the DOE could not continue to collect nuclear waste fees from utilities. The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) filed suit after the DOE's termination of the Yucca Mountain repository program in 2010. The organizations argued that the DOE could not continue to collect the fee from utilities if it did not have a waste management plan in place. Last fall, the D.C. Circuit agreed and held that the DOE could not continue to collect the nuclear waste fee of one-tenth of a cent per kilowatt-hour.
In January, Secretary Moniz sent a letter to the Senate requesting that the fee be reduced to zero, in accordance with the court's mandate. The Secretary expressed his discontent with the court's decision stating that "this proposal, mandated by the Court of Appeals, is not consistent with the process established in the [Nuclear Waste Policy Act] for adjusting the fee charged to utilities." On the same day the DOE filed a petition for en banc review of the D.C. Circuit's decision.
The D.C. Circuit denied the rehearing request on March 18. Both the NEI and NARUC issued statements declaring the move a win for consumers. NEI stressed that despite the reduction of the fee, the government has a continuing obligation to remove spent nuclear fuel to a disposal facility. Secretary Moniz's fee reduction request is subject to a 90-day congressional review period. If Congress does not act on it within that time period, the Secretary's proposal will become effective and the fee will be reduced to zero.

Statik Selektah ft. Reks, Termanology & Kali - Fake Love (Yes Men)
Artist: Statik Selektah
Featuring: REKS, Termanology, KaliRaps
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: 100 Proof
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 12 votes )
Over the last month we've been releasing a steady stream of tracks from Statik Selektah's upcoming album 100 Proof - most recently the DJBooth approved So Close, So Far - but we've finally come to the end of the road (cue the Boyz II Men music). Our last feature before the album drops is the scorching Fake Love (Yes Men), a bouncing cut produced by Statik that his Boston emcee compatriots Reks, Termanology and Kali use to point out everyone who shows love to aspiring rappers, falsely inflating their egos, and then are nowhere to be found when things go wrong. If you just read that sentence and felt a twinge of self-recognition, I highly recommend you change your ways before Reks, Term and Kali call you out, and do so with some serious lyrical skill. For more fearlessly honest hip-hop like Fake Love be sure to check out Statik's album 100 Proof when it drops February 2.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Bogut undergoes surgery on right hand
Bucks center Andrew Bogut underwent successful surgery on his right hand on Monday, general manager John Hammond said in a statement.
The surgery was performed by doctors Michael Gordon and Curt Crimmins at the Orthopedic Hospital of Wisconsin.
The operation was done to repair damage Bogut suffered when he fell to the court after dunking the basketball in the Bucks' 107-98 victory over Phoenix on Saturday at the Bradley Center.
Bogut is expected to need up to six weeks to fully recover from surgery before he can being the rehabilitation process.
The fifth-year pro suffered a broken right hand, dislocated right elbow and sprained right wrist in the fall during the second quarter of Saturday's game.

Indiana Falls to No. 13/13 Penn State, 65-52
Jan. 22, 2014
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana women's basketball team struggled offensively on the road and fell to No. 13/13 Penn State at the Bryce Jordan Center on Wednesday night, 65-52.
Penn State (14-4, 5-1) set the tone early with an 11-2 run in the game's first 6:05. Indiana (15-4, 2-4) later responded thanks to back-to-back 3-point field goals from Tabitha Gerardot and Larryn Brooks to cut the PSU lead to 13-12 with 10:08 remaining.
The Lady Lions fired back with 10 straight points to increase their lead to 23-12. Another Gerardot trey silenced that run. Sasha Chaplin followed with a field goal and Brooks then hit a jumper to polish off a 7-0 Indiana run to cut the lead to four, 23-19, with 6:01 remaining.
Indiana would go on to trail 31-24 at the halftime break.
A Gerardot jumper for Indiana at the 18:23 mark made it a 37-29 Penn State lead. The Hoosiers then went 9:01 without hitting a field goal and the Lady Lions went on a 15-2 during that stretch to extend their lead to 52-31.
Brooks stopped the bleeding with a runner in the lane at the at the 9:22 mark. Gerardot followed with a free throw and Nicole Bell 3-point field goal made it a 52-37 score. But the damage was done as PSU held on for the home win.
The Hoosiers shot just 27.6 percent for the game. IU did hold PSU to under 40 percent from the field and forced 21 Lady Lion turnovers.
Gerardot led Indiana with 12 points as Larryn Brooks added 11 points and Lyndsay Leikem chipped in eight.
The Hoosiers will hit the road for Iowa on Saturday, Jan. 25. That game will tip at 7 p.m. ET.

Exploding ammo needs attention
In a recent TV news cast, doctors who work in emergency rooms were asked for their views on gun violence. Their response was it's the bullets being used that are so devastating. This ammunition is designed to fragment or explode as it enters the victim causing terrible damage. The ammunition being used is an area of the gun control problem that seems to be getting very little attention but would seem to deserve more.
The questions I have are: Is it possible to take these fragmenting bullets off the market? Can we track who is buying ammunition, particularly in significant quantities? Is it possible to restrict the sale of ammunition to unqualified users? Can we develop ammunition that is only practical for certain applications like target practice and would be less injurious to people?

Nearly one year after Heath Ledger's tragic death, he won the Best Supporting Actor award at tonight's 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
The Dark Knight director Chris Nolan accepted the trophy on his behalf with what can only be described as a somber moment.
"All of us who worked with Heath on `The Dark Knight' accept with an awful mixture of sadness but incredible pride," Nolan said. "After Heath passed, you saw a hole ripped in the future of cinema."
During the Golden Globe Award nomination announcement back in December, Terrence Howard talked to Hollyscoop about Heath's performance.
"Even if someone else won in his category, if I had won in that category, I would give it to his family because he truly had the best performance.
"He gave more than I have seen any other actor give, he brought a new light. How do you step into Jack Nicholson's shoes? How do you do that and stretch that? He stretched Jack Nicholson's shoes," he told Hollyscoop.
No one was surprised by his win and he's already generated a lot of Oscar buzz. Only one actor has ever won a posthumous Oscar, best-actor recipient Peter Finch for 1976's "Network," but 2009 is already looking to be a historic year. Do you think Heath will swept the Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars as well?

Khanom Pang Nah Gai Roey Nga
Some years ago, I took lessons at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok's cooking school.
Located in a rustic cottage across the river from the hotel, the school regularly gives classes on how to concoct the exotic flavors that Thai dishes are known for—the spicy, the sweet, the sour and the salty harmonizing to create well-balanced, inexplicably delightful flavors.
The lessons were not only very informative, they turned out to be delicious as well (we got to eat what we cooked).
I was therefore delighted to learn that Mandarin Oriental, Manila has brought in chefs from Mandarin Bangkok for its ongoing food fest, "Tastes of Thailand." Led by executive sous chef Sumet Sumpachanyanont, they are preparing daily buffets of Thai dishes for the hotel's Paseo Uno restaurant.
The dishes include spicy mango salad with crab meat, red pork curry with sweet basil, steamed fish with chili lime sauce, roasted duck salad with celery, as well as the well-loved tom yaam goong (spicy prawn soup) and pad Thai (noodles with prawns and condiments).
I recognized one of the dishes in the buffet as being the same one I tasted in a Bangkok market during a not-so-recent visit: coarsely chopped, soft-shell crabs stir-fried to a crisp, dark golden brown.
For the health-conscious, chef Sumet recreated a dish which the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok serves in its spa: chicken marinated in turmeric and served with a yogurt and cucumber dip.
Another dish on the menu looked oddly familiar: herbed chicken on bread. In the first cooking class I took in Bangkok, we prepared something similar, except that we used shrimps instead of chicken.
According to chef Sumet, the recipes for both dishes are indeed similar, with chicken and pork being good substitutes for the shrimps.
Here is chef Sumet's recipe for this dish (with proportions adjusted for the home cook).
"Tastes of Thailand" is being served as part of the lunch and dinner buffet of Paseo Uno Restaurant, Mandarin Oriental Manila, until March 10. Call 7508888. Chef Sumet will also conduct a cooking class on March 9, 9 a.m., at the Mandarin Oriental.
Khanom Pang Nah Gai Roey Nga
(Fried toast with herbed chicken and sesame seed topping with cucumber relish)
250 g minced chicken breast or ground chicken or ground pork or diced shrimps
¼ c chopped onions
¼ c chopped garlic
8-10 coriander (wansuy) roots, chopped (See tips.)
1½ tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper powder
10 pc sandwich bread
Roasted white sesame seeds
Roasted black sesame seeds
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups cooking oil
In a bowl, combine the meat (or shrimps), onions, garlic, coriander roots, light soy sauce, salt and pepper. Knead ingredients together until well-mixed.
Spread the mixture on the sandwich bread, dividing equally. Sprinkle the top with white and black sesame seeds. Dip the mixture side of the bread on the beaten eggs (do not dip the entire bread).
Heat oil in a skillet and deep-fry each bread slice (mixture side down) until mixture is fully cooked and golden brown. Transfer bread to a clean plate lined with absorbent paper. Cut each bread into four pieces. Serve with cucumber relish.
For the cucumber relish:
1½ c white or rice vinegar
2 c white sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 small cucumber, diced
2-3 shallots or onions, finely diced
2-3 bird's eye chilies (optional)
In a saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar and salt to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved and liquid becomes clear, around three to four minutes. Let cool.
Combine cucumbers, shallots and chilies in a bowl and pour the vinegar sauce over it.
Cook's tips
When buying coriander, choose a bunch with the roots still attached. The roots are located on the stem ends of the leaves. They have a stronger aroma and flavor than the leaves. If the roots are thick, slice the roots vertically and remove the inner white piths which are hard.
If you can't find black sesame seeds, just use the white variety. To roast the seeds, put them in a hot pan and heat them while turning them constantly around the pan with a heat-proof spatula.
Once the meat is cooked, do not turn the bread over. Just transfer the bread slices with the cooked meat to a plate lined with absorbent paper. Let cool slightly then cut into four equal pieces.
If desired, garnish each piece with coriander leaves before serving.

Maize has increased its area from around 160,000 hectares in 2010 to close to 200,000 hectares anticipated this year. This increase may be as a consequence of the Three-Crop Rule or to spread the workload or to introduce another break crop on the farm in order to get rid of difficult to control weeds. The majority of maize, according to the June Census 2014, is fodder maize, but there is an increasing area of maize that is grown for AD plants. Last year 17% of the total maize planted (or 29,373 hectares) was grown for this purpose.
Seasonal news
Limited spray-days spell trouble for broad-leaved weed control
Leaving broad-leaved weeds untreated in winter cereals could be a recipe for yield disaster, warns Dow AgroSciences, as difficult spring weather creates spray window headaches for growers across the country.
With changeable weather, limited spray days and a range of products to apply, before both timing and growth stages are passed, a herbicide product with flexibility and proven control is a must, says Stuart Jackson, Dow AgroSciences' herbicide expert.
Timing extension to the EAMU for Dow Shield 400 in game cover crops
Game cover crops don't just happen, but need careful managing, with weed control being an essential part of this management. Dow AgroSciences has responded to queries on their Hotline last year and have now got an extended timing application for the Extension of Authorisation for Minor Uses (EAMU) for the use of the herbicide Dow Shield 400 in crops grown for game cover.
Spring cereals call for broad-leaved weed action plan
Getting on top of broad-leaved weed control, without increasing the risk of resistance to sulphonyl urea (SU) herbicides is the challenge faced by Northern and Scottish spring cereals growers this season.
Splosh for dosh! Weed control in sugar beet
With the downward pricing trend of sugar beet, growers need to focus on doing what is absolutely necessary, but with the main focus of getting as much tonnage off the field as possible. Sugar beet develops slowly and is a very uncompetitive crop early on, allowing weeds to flourish and compete. Weeds with a high biomass, such as volunteer potatoes and thistles, will impede crop growth and shade the canopy, blocking out sunlight and having a significantly detrimental effect on yield. Other sugar beet crops have more straight forward and physically smaller weed problems such as polygonums and mayweeds, which will need controlling, too.

+1, I like all your videos you come out with bill.
Glad to hear Tera is doing well.
It's much nicer getting all the MMO news of the week in a condensed format, instead of having to listen to 2-3 guys banter back and forth about several topics for an hour.
Having said that, job well done on either format.

The photographs are similar to what you would find in a well-worn shoebox at the bottom of your mother's closet — worn, simple, straightforward.
But they're photographs with a difference. American Gary Lee Boas, widely described in the press as a geek, dedicated the better part of 15 years of his life to taking them.
He amassed a collection of more than 50,000 celebrity pictures and is now being given attention in the art world. His work can currently be seen in an exhibit, "Gary Lee Boas: Starstruck" at London's Photographers' Gallery.
His work has also been published in a book, also called Starstruck. The group of celebrities is a democratic and diverse one — Katherine Hepburn, Mohammed Ali, Lucille Ball, Henry Kissinger, Bianca Jagger, and several Miss Americas can be found among the images he has amassed.
Just Like Ordinary People
The pictures are impromptu and often catch celebrities at their most genuine. Without the time to pose and primp, celebrities greet the camera in a brief, untouched moment where they often look anything but famous.
In fact, they often look just like "ordinary people" — their poses, expressions, and what they are doing in these pictures are not at all different from what you would see if they had indeed been found in a family shoebox of pictures.
Shirley MacLaine laughs to herself; a side profile of Sophia Loren shows her gazing fondly at someone off-camera; Louis Armstrong enjoys a quiet cigarette; Elizabeth Taylor calmly watches the outside world from the window of her limousine.
These photos do not evoke or imitate Herb Ritts, Annie Leibowitz or other well-known and critically acclaimed celebrity chroniclers.
However, many have noticed that his pictures do have a certain charm to them. "Technical finesse isn't really a consideration: he took most of the shots on his Box Brownie," noted Britain's The Independent. "There is an unquestionable magic about the pictures, founded not only on the days, weeks and hours they took to amass, but the era that they map out."
An Era Over but Not Forgotten
The pictures encapsulate an era from 1966 to 1980. The sometimes grainy pictures capture the fashions, hairstyles and poses of the rich and famous over almost 30 years.
For younger viewers of the exhibit, it is a chance to see some favorites before they were so famous. Candice Bergen, pre-Murphy Brown, is caught at a cocktail party; a young Jack Nicholson puts on a scarf.
Boas catches all the major players in Saturday Night Live over the years — Gilda Radner, Steve Martin, and Chevy Chase — when they were transformed from unknowns to major stars.
The exhibition also displays some of the top popular music acts of the era including The Village People and Davy Jones from The Monkees.
It also offers a reminder of those who have since passed away — John Belushi, John Wayne, Grace Kelly, and George Burns — caught when they were very much alive.
"For some visitors it has provoked a nostalgic and emotional response," said Camilla Jackson, curator of the exhibit.
Welcomed by His Celebrity Subjects
Boas' work ends in 1980, the year Beatle John Lennon was shot by an obsessed fan. What Watergate did for the press and politics, this assassination may have done for celebrities and their fans.
Before this, celebrities were much more comfortable with fans approaching them — and there was not always an overwhelming gang of bodyguards to block their way.

Cuban media carry rare interview with US diplomat
The U.S. charges $160 per visa application and the wait can be up to 18 months. Cubans seeking immigrant visas to reunite with family in the United States must show an invitation from a relative who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, while would-be tourists must demonstrate strong ties to the island.
"Consular officials assume that all applicants for temporary visas are possible immigrants," Roche said.
It's exceedingly rare for U.S. envoys to appear in such a way in Cuba's government-controlled media. In 1994, then-Interests Section chief Joseph Sullivan spoke for about 15 minutes on state TV to explain U.S. migration policies. And during a migratory crisis in 2003, local media published a statement from then-chief James Cason discouraging Cubans from hijacking planes or boats.
But usually Cuban newspapers and state TV are in the business of demonizing U.S. diplomats, accusing them of paying for and orchestrating the "subversive" activities of anti-government dissidents.
The official described the interview as a respectful give-and-take and said the Granma article accurately reflected the conversation.
"It was all quite normal," the official said.

Touchpad Blocker is a handy free tool for laptop owners that will disable the trackpad while you type, so accidental clicks won't move the cursor around.
The program works by effectively disabling mouse events for just half a second, every time you press a key. And so if you accidentally tap the trackpad while in the middle of typing, it probably won't have any effect. But if you've finished, and, say, want to save your document, then the trackpad will start working again half a second after the last keypress and you'll be able to use it as normal.
This default delay won't be right for everyone, of course, so you can tweak it to suit your needs. Increasing the threshold to a second, perhaps, will make it even less likely that accidental clicks will have any effect, but also means you'll have to wait longer after pressing a key before you can use the trackpad. So if that's a more annoying problem then you might like to reduce the delay a little; experiment and see what works for you.
It's also possible that Touchpad Blocker won't prove useful with some applications at all, but fortunately the author has considered that, too, providing a customisable hotkey that will allow you to toggle it on and off - very convenient.

Van Hitch — senior advisor, Deloitte's federal practice
If the only constant is change, federal managers are in for a lot of it. Deloitte thinkers have come up with a list of technologies they believe will impact federal agencies in the short term. Some of these technologies have been around and are now picking up steam. Others are just emerging. Van Hitch is a senior advisor in Deloitte's federal practice. He's former CIO of the Justice Department.

John Mahoney — partner, Tully Rinckey law firm
To try and stem national security leaks, the director of National Intelligence has ordered some changes for intel workers. James Clapper has ordered a new question to be added to the lie detector tests that employees take from time to time. He's imposing new rules on contacts with the media as well. But how far can the intelligence agencies go in what they impose on employees? And will these changes affect daily work? For some answers, we turn to John Mahoney, a partner at the law firm Tully Rinckey and chairman of its federal labor and employment law practice.
Ben Geman — reporter, The Hill newspaper
Some see fracking as a way to decrease our dependency on foreign oil by extracting it and natural gas from the ground. But the method can unleash chemicals that have others concerned about public health and the environment. The Interior Department is wading into the fray with new regulations. They've been delayed, but the department promises to release them by the end of the year. Ben Geman covers the issue for The Hill newspaper.

A month into the Grand Cherokee's stay with us, staffers have already been impressed with the vastly improved interior materials, not to mention the confidence the Jeep has instilled throughout the winter snowfalls. However, the logbook isn't filled only with praise for the new Jeep.
Having made peace with the fact that the navigation unit in our early-production car was not the more advanced one that is supposed to be in Overland models, we turned our critical eye to the antiquated five-speed automatic transmission. Associate editor Eric Tingwall criticized the spacing of its top three gears, which are too close together, and added: "the transmission is also hesitant to downshift, which is contrary to the calibration of pretty much every other new car that features a smaller, more efficient engine." Tingwall also griped about the pedals being too far to the left, making stop-and-go city driving a chore. Tingwall is six-foot-three, but his sentiment was echoed by copy editor Rusty Blackwell, who is of average height. As Tingwall points out, "this is an ergonomic foible that can really make an owner resent the vehicle."
Blackwell did, however, sing some praises for the Jeep after spending a snowy night with it. "This is a fabulous choice for snowy evenings. Sure, there's the electronic four-wheel drive and its variable modes. But what I'm talking about is that awesome heated steering wheel, the heated seats, and the heaven-sent remote-start system!"
As for the wrinkled leather on the dash that we reported last month? The Grand Cherokee has been so popular during our fierce Michigan winter, we've been loath to drop it at the dealer to see what might be done to rectify the situation. We'll have an update on that front next month.

In a world of depleting natural resources the race is on to find faster, cheaper, more efficient ways of reclaiming and recovering raw materials, as well as improving the purity and reducing the risk of contamination during their processing.
One of the more recent and exciting innovations in material separation is the non-ferrous Eddy Current Separator and how it is revolutionizing efforts to reduce waste and damage to the environment by recovering valuable non-ferrous metals from municipal and industrial refuse.
Sorting and separating ferrous metals using magnetized systems has been standard practice for many years. Recovering non-ferrous metals, however, was a labor intensive, costly and a time consuming exercise, only feasible from bulk materials like incinerated refuse and fragmentized car scrap. It meant metal mixes, such as brass, copper, aluminum and steel were relatively worthless as a mixture and were often landfilled. It was like pouring money — and vital natural resources —
down the drain.
The Eddy Current Separator is able to separate and recover aluminum and other non-ferrous metals from household, industrial and incinerated waste, including inert plastics and other materials. It is able to separate metals from scrap, and remove metallic particles and contaminants from glass and other substances. In fact, Eddy Current Separators offer a cost effective method of recovering up to 95% of valuable material from rubbish and waste, grading precious metal concentrates for further processing. It also improves the purity of non-ferrous auto scrap up to 85-95%, maximizing the speed and efficiency of recovery and increasing profits.
These systems use the latest and most effective magnetic circuits to produce strong eddy current forces, which maximizes efficient separation. Also incorporated are proven design features, such as quick and easy machine adjustments, single source dependability, and energy efficiency.
