- Title
- Forgetting test cases
- Author(s)
- Chan, Kwok Ping; Chen, T. Y.; Towey, Dave
- Abstract
- Adaptive Random Testing (ART) methods are Software Testing methods which are based on Random Testing, but which use additional mechanisms to ensure more even and widespread distributions of test cases over an input domain. Restricted Random Testing (RRT) is a version of ART which uses exclusion regions and restriction of test case generation to outside these regions. RRT has been found to perform very well, but incurs some additional computational cost in its restriction of the input domain. This paper presents a method of reducing overheads called Forgetting, where the number of test cases used in the restriction algorithm can be limited, and thus the computational overheads reduced. The motivation for Forgetting comes from its importance as a human strategy for learning. Several implementations are presented and examined using simulations. The results are very encouraging.

If you don't need to see what you're drinking, 4100 Bar could be your spot.
Located just off the main drag in Silver Lake, the bar is super low lit. In fact, it's barely lit at all.
From the outside, it kind of looks like a total dive, but inside it's a pretty good looking place with a kind of Arabic tinge. There are beat up couches, booths and lots of room to sit at the bar, so whether you're flying solo or with a big group of buddies there's a seating arrangement for whatever the vibe.
The bar staff is friendly and capable, but beware: they are very generous with their free-pouring.
Word is that it's a bit of a hipster hangout, but with a playlist that is made up of jams by Prince, Hall and Oates, Notorious B.I.G. and Guns'n'Roses you can't be too mad.
4100 Bar is at 4100 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles.

Re: "Free boat" seaworthiness
Well if you can get it to free storage, it might just be worth saving. If you are going to have to pay for storage, then it likely will not. Free boats that can be fixed at home in the back/side yard are not too bad, and it sounds as though you like projects, I think I would have to side with BL Jones on this. Just be ok with the fact that you might have to cut it up and get rid of it if it does not work out. I would set a time limit with yourself, such as if it is not back in the water by the end of summer 2015 then it gets given away or taken to the dump.

I'm looking at possible characters before I've gotten the game so please help me out and help me decide if this is gonna be a feasible thing to aim at. I'll mainly play PvE but I'll dabble in PvP occassionally i reckon. (also i don't know how many points you get but other builds i've seen have been about 30 total >.>). Thought i'd do this now cos i hate getting a fair way in to a game then deciding the whole basis for my character was lame.
10 Curses
10 Death
10 Healing
(considering taking some points into soul reaping)
- Enfeeble (or Enfeebling Blood)
- Mark of Pain
- Plague Sending (or Plague Signet, or Plague Touch)
- Shadow of Fear
- Animate Bone Horror (maybe Fiends?)
- Blood of the Master (i guess Vereta's Sacrifice when poss)
- Soul Feast (or Taste of Death maybe)
- Heal Other (or Orison of Healing... or maybe Word of Healing)
Obviously the idea is to weaken the enemy until corpses start appearing then bring up a few minions and apply healing (to party and minions) where needed. So how about it? This a good thing to go on? any advice on improving it and any obvious weaknesses? Could points be distributed better cos i've not real basis behind my even distribution.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Lee Martin is desperate to establish himself at Manchester United.
The young winger has played on-loan at Royal Antwerp, Rangers, Sheffield United, Stoke City, Plymouth Argyle and Nottingham Forest.
Martin told manutd.com: "Sometimes you've got to play a position that you're not accustomed to for 90 minutes.
"Here it's more about expressing yourself, but then you've got better players around you here.
"No offence to the clubs I've been at, but you'd have to go a long way to find a club to match the standards on show here, even among the young lads.
"That's perhaps why it can be difficult for lads going out on loan, because here you're used to the ball rarely leaving the floor, and suddenly you can be in a Championship game where the ball's in the air for 45 minutes. It's tough."

text: San Francisco-based Phoenix Effects & Design, a division of Phoenix Editorial, has completed two 30-second spots for AT&T Broadband Internet service via advertising agency Hoffman/Lewis, San Francisco, and is at work on a third, which will promote AT&T Broadband Cable Television service. All three of the entirely CG spots were directed by Matt Silverman and designed by Jason Ett of Phoenix Editorial. The spots fuse clean, minimalist graphics and a computer-generated cable zipping across a white background with upbeat surf-guitar music to create a lively image for the broadband service. Basing the spots on the existing print campaign, Phoenix artists took the main graphic element, a blue cable, and transformed it into an animated spot for television. The client's primary stipulation was that the cable appear vivid and hyper-real. Using Alias|Wavefront's Maya, Pinnacle's Commotion and Adobe's After Effects, Silverman and Ett worked with 3D animators Mike McCormick and Rob Taylor to create a glossy 3D cable that jumps out from the white screen. The first spot, "Snap," opens with a close-up of the blue cable, which promptly sets off into a frenzied series of swirls and spirals, weaving in and out of title displays and streaming across the screen like a literal live wire. "We wanted to create a visual metaphor linking the wire's energetic and silky-smooth movements with AT&T Broadband's speed and clarity," said Matt Silverman. "By setting the wire's vibrant color against lots of white space and having the wire interact with titles -- either encircling them or literally whipping them on and off screen -- we managed to create a spot that is both eye-catching and effective." In "Morph," the cable is transformed through a progression of undulations and configurations into a soundwave, a videogame shooter, a camera and a tornado to represent AT&T's speed when downloading MP3s, games and photo-quality images. "Pet Cable," the third spot in the campaign currently in the works, animates the cable with cute pet-like characteristics to promote AT&T Broadband's Cable Television service.

Two-sided wooden alphabet pieces have upper case on one side and lower case on the reverse. Made of wood, they are smooth and have a corner bent for ease of lifting and turning. They also have Braille symbols on each side. Use these for playing knowing and naming letter or sound games. Sort them by finding all the straight edged letters and then find all the ones with rounded lines. Plan Toys uses sustainable rubber wood that is coated with a non-toxic finish and colors from vegetable dye. Marked for 2 & up. We'd say more like a 3-5 year old choice.
SNAP: Useful for all sorts of knowing and naming letter names and sound games. Introduce just a few pieces at a time and play with those names and sounds.

For kids who are fans of Planes will like playing the classic matching game of concentration. Put the cards face down and take turns turning over two to find a pair of matching planes. True, it may be an old game, but an important one for building memory skills. These cards with distinctive bright backgrounds make the task somewhat easier. 3 & up
Age: Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2014. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Learning letter names and the sounds they say is an interactive game with the letters in the carry case that fit into the board and speak. That is just one level of play. Kids can spell hundreds of three letter words and hear them said or they can hear a word and find the letters to spell that word. This is a game for the beginning reader. We like that the toy uses lower case letters since that is what beginning readers need to learn to recognize and read. Often kids only know upper case letters and have to relearn the names of letters in their lower case form. The toy is marked for 3-6 and we would say that most 3's are not ready for most of the skills on this toy. That said, it can be a fun toy for preschoolers who are getting interested in letters and words�not being pushed into reading. This is very much like the original Leap Frog phonics toy introduced several decades ago. It was a good idea then and still a good idea for a new crop of pre-literate children who are ready and eager to become literate.
Reinforcing sounds and shapes they can hold in their hands and touch give young learners double sensory feedback to help them master the names, sounds, and shapes of letters. Making letter play appealing, this format allows children to play solo as well as with an adult. Use the letters for spelling their names as well as the words in the program.

Talk about healthy living. Here's a Janga-style stacking game played with colorfully painted wooden veggies. Once they are stacked the object is to pull the greatest number of veggies without making all the others tumble. A 55-piece set. The playing pieces can also be used for sorting, counting and other original games. Marked for 3 & up, but we think you need more dexterity and predicting skills than most 3's have. We think old fours and fives would find it fun, if tricky.
Age: Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2014. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Charades for the preschool set. Players select the Dr. Seuss Character they want to be. One player draws a card and picks one of three actions to act out. Other players guess what the action is. The player who guesses first and the actor-outer both get to move on the playing board. First to cross the finish line wins. There is no reading in this game so it is designed for preschoolers. However the playing board has some twists along the way that can send players backwards (like Candlyland) and may be upsetting to younger players. They say 3 and up, we think doing charades may be tough for most threes and some fours. You may want to save this for older 4-5 year olds.

For the youngest players, this is a color matching game that also involves beginning counting skills. Marked for two and up, we'd say this is probably a much better choice for threes and fours. That said, we can see how kids will be attracted to fitting the ice cream shaped pops into the colored pretend shells on top. These are color-coded with dots on the ice cream matching the colored shell that is marked with a numeral. Aside from pretend play these can be used for putting them in numerical order as well as matching dots and numerals. Or play, "I'm thinking of a pop that is one less than 6 or two more than five. For two's start with 1-3 and no more than five pops and gradually add more pops once they have a good grip on 1-5.

You'll like the quality of the art and feel of this sturdy board game that can be played in multiple ways�all of which challenge kids to use their listening and looking skills while also learning the rules of turn taking and the ups and downs gamesmanship. There are enough rounds so that kids can experience the fun of winning and inevitable alternative. There's no reading required but the games do play on matching, memory, color concepts, and listening. Cards can be used for Bingo style game, concentration, and sequencing. Develops a child's ability to see and hear differences as she finds not just a green dress, but a green dress with the purple bow. That kind of detail calls for more than chance, but is an important skill needed before reading. A good choice for 3-5.
Use this for language development as well as matching skills. A rich variety of games that can be adapted to your child.
Age: Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2014. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
An active fun game that's a lot like an egg and spoon race only this one is played with pancakes--made of plastic. Here's how it works. Players pull a card that shows a stack of pancakes with strawberries, blueberries, banana slices and chocolate chips. Players have to race to stack and serve a pile of pancakes that matches the order card. Teams or two players compete to carry the pancakes on the spatulas and be the first to make a stack topped with a pat of butter. This is an active game that can be played like a relay race with teams or a two-player match. One test parent thought it would be great for family gatherings or birthday parties with as many as 12 people playing. Test families liked that the sturdy materials and simple directions led to quick game play and it's a game that gets everyone moving! They usually ended up "out of breath and our hearts pumping by the end." One family also changed things up by putting the pancakes in other rooms and on the 2nd floor for extra challenges. Younger kids can play alternate set of rules. Challenges visual matching, dexterity, and speed. A good party game. They say 4 & up, we think older 5-8's will like it best.

One of the most age appropriate games for older toddlers and younger preschoolers. The game can be scaled down for the youngest players by using fewer sets of matching images. There are six categories: food, toys, clothing, things found outdoors, animals and colors/shapes. For each category there are large circles with clear photos of each image- these are called the "Seek Me" cards. You place those on the floor. Now you select from the matching "Find Me" cards. Ask your child to find the image on the find me card. You play until you have found all the matches. While this may seem very basic, it's just right for older toddlers and young preschoolers as a way of developing their vocabulary. You can add more categories for older players. Bravo to Mindware for making a game on target for this age group!
Age: Toddlers, Preschool. Award Year: 2014. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Dream Cakes is great fun to play. The idea is to create the "biggest" cake by adding to the cake plate with tiers, frosting, and toppings. There are LOTS of pieces to this game designed for 2 to 4 players. On your turn, spin the wheel to determine which kind of cake piece you get to add to your cake. The added fun comes with the cake measuring stick. Depending on how tall your cake is you get ribbons with point values. The player with the highest points (when there are no more pieces to play) wins! The pieces are sturdy and have a lovely storybook quality to the illustrations.

Barbara Mitchell, a staff member at Wahama Jr./Sr. High School and supporter of the Wahama Choir, is one of those people who make that music for students to shine during Wahama Dinner Theatre productions. Mitchell, who sits in the dinner theater pit band, was celebrated by students and choir boosters this week for not only her 65th birthday, but her involvement in their lives. Choir students and the choir boosters raised enough money to send Mitchell to see the Broadway hit, "The Lion King" in Washington, D.C.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated are identified in the company's reports on file with the SEC which are also available on the company's website at www.PiperJaffray.com and on the SEC website at www.SEC.gov. Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Andrew Duff.
Andrew S. Duff
I believe we all recognize that during 2008 the capital markets industry faced a historically challenging operating environment. During the fourth quarter economic and financial market conditions deteriorated affecting nearly all of our businesses. We took actions to reduce our operating cost structure and to manage and mitigate risk exposures. Our actions were not able to overcome the severe market conditions and our operating results suffered.
We have two top priorities for our firm as we look ahead, first to appropriately adjust our cost structure to enable us to operate through the near term difficult period and secondly, to make sure that we are well positioned when the markets eventually turn positive. In terms of the first priority, we took actions throughout the year to respond to the market conditions. We took additional measures in the fourth quarter as operating conditions further deteriorated.
Let me review these actions with you. We reduced net headcount year-over-year by 13%, including significant senior hires during the year. In the fourth quarter we reduced headcount by an additional 8% from September 30th level but we have preserved senior client facing talent. We ended 2008 with 1,045 employees. As a result of the difficult fourth quarter, we reduced incentive compensation which was down significantly year-over-year. Accordingly, at my recommendation, our senior leadership team including me will not receive bonuses for 2008.
For 2009 the vast majority of our incentive compensation will be variable. Most of our guarantees matured at the end of 2008 and are behind us. Going forward, our compensation will continue to be performance based but with firm results given first priority. In addition, 2009 expense will be reduced as a result of the revised accounting treatment for stock-base compensation which Deb will review with you in a moment.
The lower expense will be reflected in a reduced compensation ratio by approximately four percentage points for a goal of approximately 60% for 2009 which depends on the level and mix of revenues. We also paired our non-comp expenses and our position for a $35 million average run rate in 2009. All of the actions we have taken this year will enable us to generate profits at considerable lower revenue levels.
In 2008 our breakeven revenue level was in the mid $400 million range, in 2009 our breakeven revenue level will be in the mid $300 million range. Finally, we have a solid balance sheet with ample liquidity and sufficient capital to conduct or businesses. We are confident that we will manage through the near term difficult period. If conditions dictate, we will take additional actions to adjust our cost structure just as we did in the fourth quarter.
Our goal is to achieve profitability in 2009 despite another difficult operating environment. Now, let me turn to our second priority which is to make sure that we are well positioned to advance when the markets turn positive. Despite an extraordinary difficult operating backdrop, we are very mindful that our firm has a unique opportunity to capitalize on the turmoil in the competitive landscape.
During 2008, we enhanced out talent based with 47 senior client facing professionals. We are already seeing some of the early results, let me give you a few examples. The California public finance team we recruited in June, immediately contributed to making us the top education underwriter in that state up from the number four position we held from 2003 to 2007. In corporate finance we extended our technology expertise to include media and telecommunications by recruiting a team of 10 senior bankers and research analyst with expertise in those areas.
We added new senior leadership in our low touch equity business. We are seeing positive momentum in revenues which were up 16% year-over-year. In the UK we maintained our long term leadership position in healthcare underwriting while building clean technology. We added senior talent to this sector in the past year and completed our first clean tech underwriting deal in the region. These investments together with others we've made to enhance our franchise across geographies, sectors and product positions us well to gain market share and capitalize on more positive market cycles.
We believe that a market share opportunity exists across our businesses. We also believe that we are well positioned versus our peers to capture this share. We have deep expertise and leadership in our equities sectors and in public finance across new issue and advisory trading and investing. We will continue to focus on these core businesses because it is what we do best. The significant hiring we did this year only strengthens our position. As a result, with all Piper Jaffray partners working in concert, we will be the most capable partner in the market for our clients.

Not worth the money, wouldn't come backPosted Nov 28, 2014
Pros: The only thing I liked about the resort was the coffee cafe. The ladies who were there made some delicious hot and cold coffee drinks.
Cons: Cleanliness, the tiles on the floor in the bathroom were disgustingly dirty.
Location: The best thing to do was to sign up for one of Joy's Adventures. We did the Land & Sea tour and it was so much fun.
If you are going to spend the money to travel to St. Lucia don't bother staying here. Pay the extra money and stay at Sandals becuase you know you are going to have great service, excellent food and cleanliness. We had an 8 day, 7 night stay at this resort and didn't have got water for 6 out of the 8 days! We would call the font desk and they told us maintenece would fix it but nothing changed. The meal times were not accomodating. Breakfast stopped at 10 and lunch didn't open until 12 and ended at 2. If you went on an excursion and came back in between meals there was no place to just grab quick snacks. The Plum Tree was open but the service is so slow and the menu options were limited. Dinner didn't start until 6 and you had to have reservations for every place expcet for the buffet. You could only make reservations from 7-3PM. If you forgot to make a reservation they woudln't let you come in to eat at all! The pictures of the water at the resort is misleading. Even though you are in the caribbean the water is not that pretty clear blue. It was murky and dirty looking, reminded me of the ocean on the east coast back home. The website mentions preimum alcohol and this is not the case. I didn't recognize any of the liqour brands when asking for specific drinks. The lounge chairs on the beach were covered in mold and mildew. I had to ask for 2 towels everyday so that I didn't have to lay in it.

Group holiday for a friends weddingPosted Nov 28, 2014
It was the perfect holiday for us. There was a little mix up with some of the rooms but they were all cleared up within hours. The all inclusive suited us perfectly as there was no fussing with bills. Included as well were all all the water sports and that made the week a lovely mix of relaxed and active. Staff were great, food good considering all inclusive and not shy on the drinks. As a group trip this was exactly what we were looking for. The only slight negative was the location. It seemed like the resort was 1.5hrs from any other attraction.

Nice, relaxing hotelPosted Nov 18, 2014
Pros: well priced, included nice water sporting amenities.
Cons: The refrigerator in the room was empty...should at least include bottled water! Some of the bartenders should try to smile and be attentive.
Location: we never left the hotel, but there were many, many excursions that could be taken. Many of our "new friends" took them and enjoyed them!
Almost all of the staff was pleasant and friendly. Our partial ocean view room had a great view overlooking the facility, grounds, and yes, ocean. Guests range in ages, mainly couples and families, no crazy partiers which made for an enjoyable and relaxing time. While drinks aren't top shelf, they are strong!

Not a 4 star resort in my opinion.Posted Nov 17, 2014
Resort was very clean and well kept. It needs some updating, but you don't go to an Island for the room. The food was mediocre but many options. Agnes at omelette station in Bambou Grill was so happy every morning it was infectious!! Otherwise average service overall. The coffee shop is the best place!! Pool very clean and spacious. The beach was disappointing- shallow muddy waters.

Water sports and dining make this hotel greatPosted Nov 9, 2014
This is the only all inclusive that I have been to that includes water skiing and Banana boating. We stayed here for a week in November along with my sons, ages 23 and 15. Resort provides sailing, water skiing and wind surfing lessons daily. The staff were amazing. The food was very good for an all inclusive. We are at every restaurant on the property and never had a bad meal. My older son loved sampling the Caribbean dishes. The room we were in could use some updating but was clean. The only negative was the 1 1/2 hour trip from airport on very winding roads. Take something if you have motion sickness.

Pros: the hotel is lovely. Rooms are clean.

I usually stay at the hotel coco Palm for business but I decided to give this hotel a try. My first impression of the hotel was at the front desk, which I was disappointed by the staff. Not very friendly or welcoming. I told the front office agent that I was stranded by Liat arlines for an entire day and just made it, missing one day at the hotel and it was like I said nothing. Then I got the bad news that there is no internet in the room. Expedia sold to me in my documents that the hotel provided wi fi. He said that I had to get an upgrade in order to get wifi. I told him I was gold member with expedia hoping to get that upgrade, and it was like I said NOTHING. Later I found out with some guest that there is an option for $10.00 a day to get wifi which front office agent did not offer. Besides this experience, all went well. I went to work at the coffee shop everyday to get wifi. The coffee is very good. The staff is slow, but in general they are welcoming and friendly. The staff at he restaurant are THE BEST and are up to speed with everything, Congratulatiosn to Food and beverage department! Food was good and staff very good. I think it mainly is the front desk staff that needs more training about service from the heart.

Bruins rookies down a goal after first
|09.16.10 at 7:53 pm ET
BOSTON — Islanders forward Tony Romano sniped the only goal of the game thus far past Michael Hutchinson from the dot and the Bruins finished the first period down 1-0 Thursday.
Yury Alexandrov took a hooking penalty with 47.8 seconds remaining in the first period, so the Bruins will take the ice in the second down a man for the second consecutive night. The rest of the first 20 minutes was a lot less chippy than Wednesday's game, though the rough stuff didn't really kick in until the second period in the first rookie game. Ryan Donald was unsurprisingly aggressive and appeared to get scrappy with Rhett Rakhshani, but had the two squared off, Donald would have been given a game misconduct per the two-fighting-major rule of the rookie games.
All was relatively quiet on the Seguin watch, though he did pull a nifty move in kicking a puck from behind him onto his forehand. It would have been an interesting play anywhere on the ice, but he did it on the blue line and managed to stay onsides. The ensuing shot went wide of Kevin Poulin, but fans got a kick out of it nonetheless. The Islanders outshot the Bruins in the period, 12-4.

On the forehand: Early take back vs. continuous loop

You say the comment about closing the racket head is on his tk back, but I just
don't see that, as it seems he really keeps it pretty open till swinging forward
during alignment for contact. Maybe you can help me see what you have here.
I don't have a problem with what you are calling early prep, but Hunter is looking
to see how this differs from the past where early prep was racket well
behind the back shoulder and racket mostly pointing to back/side fence....not
2 hands on racket directly in front of the back shoulder like Stan here. I guess
calling it early prep is fine, but confusing from a different early prep in classic
instruction pov.
It's also hard to say this prep is earlier than Evert and other old schoolers who
ran around the court at times with the racket already in full back position.
IMO Stan is a better example of continuous loop, than early prep and also don't
see why you can't have a loop with a lower tk back. It's more obvious
with a high tk back, but a lower tk back can do a small loop too, right?
thanks for your insights
I never said players today take the racket back earlier. Only that they are more coiled on their forehand prep. As you and Cheetah pointed out, you see more oldschool players like Chris Evert pointing more or less at the ball, while todays players have that off arm pointing more or less at the side fence during their prep.

We had a fun show yesterday, just keeping each other company during our travels and/or turkey bastings. But today, my family demands some face time at breakfast. And like you, I'm starving! It's like I haven't eaten in hours, or possibly minutes!
We did have some technical difficulties with the podcast, though, so for those of you who found the player posted yesterday in non-working condition, here's an encore presentation of yesterday's show, in a different player format.

Lewis Machine and Tool Company
|This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (November 2013)
|Milan, Illinois, USA
|Firearms, weapons
Number of employees
Lewis Machine & Tool Company (LMT)[1] was founded by Karl Lewis in 1980. LMT started its business by providing law enforcement and government agencies with military type weapons and accessories. Today, LMT still provides law enforcement and government agencies with weapons, but they have now also expanded their services to foreign military and commercial retailers. All of LMT's engineering and manufacturing is done in house at the Milan, IL facility. LMT manufactures complete weapon systems such as the M4/AR15 and the M203 grenade launcher.[2] Today, both the US military and the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence utilize many of the products that LMT produces.
LMT created the Monolithic Rail Platform (MRP).[3] The MRP is a one piece upper receiver for the AR-15/M4/M16 platform and is made from a single aluminum forging. The LMT MRP has a quad rail system that utilizes the Mil-Std 1913 rail. It is available in two different lengths, one standard rifle length and the other for Close Quarters Battle (CQB). The MRP upper receiver has a quick change barrel system that allows the operator to change the caliber or the barrel length of the weapon in a very short period of time.[4] The MRP also features a free-floating barrel, relatively low temperature to handguard & optics, long barrel life, easy-to-access/clean design, a straight gas tube resists bending and retains better alignment with gas key as compared to other designs, and a relatively low number of parts (13). Also, its top rail position matches M4 & E3-type weapons ensuring optics and sight compatibility and accepts standard & enhanced M16-type (Stoner design) components
In late 2009, LMT introduced the .308 Modular Weapon System LM308MWS.[5] The LM308MWS uses the 7.62x51mm NATO round. The LM308MWS is based on the proven Stoner Rifle design with some new features that including a one piece upper receiver and a completely free-floating barrel design for improved accuracy. LMT integrated their MRP design into the large AR platform. Since the LM308MWS has the MRP design, the barrel is completely free floating, thus increasing its accuracy and its ability to stay cool. This design also allows changing the barrel to a different size in around one minute. Reports have shown that this rifle has an effective range of 800m and can easily achieve a Sub-MOA grouping.
LMT is currently supplying 16", 18" and 20" 1:11.25 blackened stainless match barrels, as well as 16" and 20" chrome-lined chromemoly 1:10 battle barrels available for civilian purchase.

In 2009 Lewis Machine and Tool Co was chosen to supply the UK Ministry of Defence with 440 of the LM308MWS 7.62x51mm rifle[6] under the official service designation as the L129A1.[7] LMT has since supplied more than 3,000 to UK forces.[8]
LMT submitted the LM308MWS for an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) by the British Ministry of Defence for a semiautomatic 7.62 NATO caliber sharpshooter rifle. Other weapons submitted included the FN SCAR-H, HK417, Sabre Defence XR-10, and others. LMT's rifle was chosen as the winner and designated the L129A1. The L129A1 entered combat use in April 2010.[9]
The requirement was for a rifle to be able to fire standard NATO 7.62×51mm rounds, but 155 gr (10.0 g) sniping ammunition was found to be superior and is issued with the L129A1. Its 1:11.25 inch rifle twist was designed to fire 168 gr (10.9 g) match rounds, but the rifling prohibits it from accurately stabilizing 175 gr (11.3 g) sniping rounds.[9]
The LM308MWS standard US commercial model differs slightly from the UK issued L129A1 in the following aspects:
- 1) the barrel is a 16" fully chrome-lined, cryogenically treated, polygonal rifled 1:10 right-hand twist chrome-moly machinegun grade steel. It is crowned with LMT's special crown design, designed for maximum accuracy with ordinary ball ammunition.
- 2) the muzzle device is a standard M16A2 type flash suppressor instead of the SureFire suppressor mount.
- 3) the sights are the LMT detachable fixed sights instead of the Knight's Armament folding battle sights.
- 4) the supplied furniture is black instead of the coyote brown supplied to the UK MoD.

At precisely 11.49am on Sunday 22 January 2012, something good occurred on the Internet. It wasn't the upload of another 'baby bites a finger' video, or the highly anticipated sequel to 'monkey rides a dog'.
No, Internet. Top Gear's Facebook page reached a whopping ten million friends! Thanks to each and every one of you.
Cause for celebration, you will agree. But how to mark such an auspicious milestone?
Thankfully, you posted in a very comprehensive suggestions list, much of which involved caravans, and their apocalyptic destruction. So we switched on the Stig, put him in a VXR8 and told him to have some fun. This is what he did.
But it appears we have been given another celebratory riposte on reaching 10 million Facebook friends. Our good friends over at Falken decided to hoon around for an afternoon drifting the tyres off their cars.
You might remember these chaps. Last year Matt Carter (2011 British Drift Champion) and his buddy Paul Cheshire (himself a two-time drifting Team Event winner) attempted to teach our useless staffer the noble art of donuting.
Falken drift champs' top ten drift cars
And judging by the video below, they certainly know what they're talking about. We're told this was done in a single take (the lack of tyre marks on the tarmac will attest to this).
Paul told us: "We just want to get more people interested in the sport". Have a gander at the video the chaps sent in to us, and tell us you're not interested...

Liquor in the national capital is set to become costlier from tomorrow.
The rates of liquor is likely to increase by eight to 12% as the revised excise duty regime and increased retailers margin component on liqour, notified by the Delhi government, would come into effect from tomorrow. Delhi government has decided to increase the retailer's profit margin in order to promote fair play and make the liquor trade look more profitable.
According to the revised list, the retailer's profit margin component on Beer, Cidrem Alcopop has been hiked from the existing 8% to 12% of wholesale price. The retailer's profit margin on Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) has been increased to 20% from the existing 15-18% of the wholesale price. The retailer's profit margin on country liquor (Delhi Medium Liquor) has been increased from 3 to 6%. "All this will come into effect from tomorrow," according to an official order issued by the Office of the Commissioner of Excise, Entertainment and Luxury Tax.
Delhi government has already notified the revised excise duty regime, making liquor costlier by 8%-12%. The increased rates would come into effect from tomorrow. The rates of beer have been increased by Rs 5 and Rs 20 per bottle and prices of IMFL have gone up by Rs 25 and Rs 40 per bottle.
With the increase in rates, the department aims to collect additional Rs 250 crore as it was unable to meet its revenue target of Rs 3,200 crore in last financial year and earned a revenue of Rs 3,151 crore.
In this financial year, the government aims to collect Rs 3,600 crore from Excise.

Why does corporate governance--front page news with the collapse of Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat--vary so dramatically around the world? This book explains how politics shapes corporate governance--how managers, shareholders, and workers jockey for advantage in setting the rules by which companies are run, and for whom they are run. It combines a clear theoretical model on this political interaction, with statistical evidence from thirty-nine countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America and detailed narratives of country cases.
This book differs sharply from most treatments by explaining differences in minority shareholder protections and ownership concentration among countries in terms of the interaction of economic preferences and political institutions. It explores in particular the crucial role of pension plans and financial intermediaries in shaping political preferences for different rules of corporate governance. The countries examined sort into two distinct groups: diffuse shareholding by external investors who pick a board that monitors the managers, and concentrated blockholding by insiders who monitor managers directly. Examining the political coalitions that form among or across management, owners, and workers, the authors find that certain coalitions encourage policies that promote diffuse shareholding, while other coalitions yield blockholding-oriented policies. Political institutions influence the probability of one coalition defeating another.

Sundown: The Undiplomatic Diplomat
Plus Wisse kvells over Yiddish, Israel sells itself, and more
• The five U.S. congressmen in J Street's Mideast delegation were "puzzled" by Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon's refusal to meet with them, and his labeling J Street as not "pro-Israeli". (But why would they expect a diplomat to have good people skills?) [Haaretz]
• The Israeli government launched a new P.R. campaign designed to empower Israel's fans around the world to win converts to the country's cause. The campaign's (Hebrew-language) Website generally puts a conservative gloss on political issues. [NYT]
• Ruth R. Wisse—author of Nextbook Press's Jews and Power–celebrates the English language's debt to Yiddish and worries about Yiddish's future in the academy. [Minding the Campus]
• Martin Grossman, the convicted murderer whose death sentence was protested by many ultra-Orthodox groups around the world, was put to death yesterday in Florida. [Arutz Sheva]
• A former AIPAC official argues that, contra what some on the right say, President Obama has actually been more of an AIPAC president than a J Street one; and this is so, the official adds, because of domestic politics. [Foreign Policy]

Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.
