Fly Screen Doors for Your Home
If you live in Australia or the United Kingdom, you must be very familiar with fly screen doors. A door with fly screen is a door that has a frame that is used to hold a mesh or net made from metal, plastic, fiberglass, nylon, or polyester. The mesh is called fly screen because it is used to keep flies and other insects out of the home. In regions where insect population is large, fly screen is often needed. This screen is also used to prevent other particles besides insects, such as leaves and debris, from entering the house.
If you want to install fly screen on the door or the window of your home, you have to decide the material from which the screen is made and to know how to install the screen on the door or the window. As said earlier, there are many materials that can be used to make fly screen. If you want to have fly screen that is not very apparent, you can use one that is made from aluminum. If you are concerned with denting if you install metallic fly wheel, you can use other materials, such as fiberglass and nylon. To install the screen, you can hire an installer or read online handy hints that guide you to choose the material of the screen and to install it.

Former Kenya Cup rugby champions Impala have vowed to bounce back after suffering their fourth successive defeat over the weekend
The 10-time winners of the league title are placed third from bottom with two points and are yet to register a win. Team manager Nick Abok said the club is in transition and though they are enduring difficult times, the team will start winning soon.
"We are in transition at the moment after losing players in the last two years and we are banking on our young players to come through at some point" he added.
Abok said the club's policy is to develop players from schools and give them a chance, instead of signing players from clubs. "We want to develop players from schools and give them a chance. Very soon I know we will start registering positive results," added Abok.
Impala were hit hard with players leaving and those that have left include Lawrence Buyachi who has rejoined Nakuru RFC, Leslie Ochieng (Nondies), Dennis Karani (Quins), Nato Simiyu (Quins), Kelvin Omiyo, Peter Ocholla and Malik Ndemi just to mention a few.
Impala lost their opening match 15-0 to Nondies before a shock 21-18 loss to newly promoted Western Bulls on match Day Two . The side known as the Gazelles then lost to Mwamba 24-18 and 22-10 to KCB over the weekend.
Impala flanker Joel Omer was hit with a 10-week ban for abusing the referee hence subjecting Impala to a major blow after losing one of their most experienced players.
Impala next face Strathmore and Nakuru before the league takes a break mid next month. Abok said he is targeting to win the two fixtures.

One of the Upper River Region's strongest wrestlers, Essa Secka, has said wrestling can be a source of income for young people of the country if they utilise the opportunity accorded to them by the government of The Gambia.
The renowned wrestler who has been engaged in the sport for close to two decades was speaking to this reporter at the ongoing 10th Edition of the National Youth Conference and Festival (NAYCONF) in Bansang in the Central River Region (CRR).
"I have been competing for many years at different places within the country and outside but I have seen the benefits that I have gained from it," he said. He also urged his fellow youths to venture into the sector in order to promote the country's intellectual legacy.

Too many diamonds, not enough fossils. That was Brigitte Senut's verdict on a Namibian diamond mine she once visited. In 2000, she discovered Orrorin tugenensis, the first human ancestor known to have walked upright, in the Tugen Hills of Kenya. She told Laura Spinney about fossil-hunting in Africa.
What is the big question you're trying to answer?
How and when did humans diverge from the African great apes? I'm interested not only in the physical characteristics of those early ancestors, but also in how they lived, what environments they inhabited. That's why I'm as excited by the discovery of a pig, a snail or a rodent as by a primate. It's also why I work with geologists, sedimentologists and palaeobotanists, among others.
When did you know that the bones you unearthed in 2000 were important?
Immediately. The head worker at the site, Kiptalam Cheboi, found two fragments of ...

ABSTRACT: We present the case of a 63-year-old woman who was admitted to the intensive care unit for altered mental status and hypotension 3 weeks after creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). She was found to have high-output heart failure and evidence of acute hepatic failure. High-output heart failure is a known complication of AVF creation, but hepatic failure after AVF has not been previously described. We present such a case.Annals of Vascular Surgery 07/2012; 26(7):1012.e1-4. DOI:10.1016/j.avsg.2012.01.017 · 1.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: An interesting case of gastroenteritis due to Salmonella Birkenhead following ingestion of raw venison sashimi is described. A 65-year-old man presented with diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. On exam he was hypotensive, tachycardic, with evidence of severe dehydration following ingestion of raw venison sashimi produced with game meat hunted on the Hawaiian island of Lana'i. He responded rapidly to vigorous volume resuscitation, and stool cultures later were positive for Salmonella Birkenhead. Non-typhoidal Salmonella is the most frequently identified cause of foodborne illness in the United States. Clinicians in the state of Hawai'i should be alert and aware of the potential for the local deer population to be an unusual source of foodborne illness, especially given the prevalence of consumption of raw foods in the local cuisine.02/2012; 71(2):49-50.

5 Craziest Ringer Fan Theories
Ringer has so many mysterious twists and turns we can hardly keep up! We all have our theories about why Siobhan is hold up in France wandering around in sunnies while Bridget assumes her identity and goes on dumpster diving expeditions — and we've rounded up the best of the best!
Check out five of the craziest fan theories about Ringer, courtesy of you!
1. Gemma faked her own death
Think about it: Gemma was desperate to get revenge on Henry and Siobhan for having a sexy affair and getting preggers — faking her own death is the ultimate "eff you."
The police haven't found Gemma's body, so Henry isn't entitled to her life insurance and inheritance, and she can assume a different identity and take Henry down from behind-the-scenes.
Sounds crazy, but it's not like Gemma's the first one to come up with this plan. It's called "pulling a Shiv," obvs!
2. Charlie is Siobhan's hit man
Fan girls all over the interweb are convinced that the man who called Shiv at the end of episode 6 sounded exactly like Bridget's sponsor, Charlie.
We have serious concerns about Bridget spending quality time with this hunk if he's working for her deranged sister. Will Charlie worm his way into Bridget's sheets and rat her out to Shiv?
Trust no one, especially men who moonlight as dreamboats on The Young and The Restless.
3. Andrew knows Bridget's faking it
We can't trust anyone on Ringer, least of all men who wear turtlenecks. Andrew has us pretty convinced he's just a pawn in Shiv's evil scheme to rule the upper east side, but there might be more to this bloke that meets the eye.
What if Andrew knows who Bridget really is, and he's playing her? No Em Gee — what if he and Shiv are working together! We just blew our own minds.
After all, what kind of husband doesn't question it when his wife has complete personality overhaul? Yep, there's definitely something fishy going on here.
4. Bridget and Siobhan are in cahoots
Truth bomb: Bridget and Siobhan could totally, definitely be working together. Ringer is formatted in such a way that the viewer isn't always clued in.
For example, we were following Bridge's every move in episode 6, and then a flashback revealed that she was fingerprinting blood-soaked pottery shards all day!
For all we know, Bridget's having secretive conversations with her sister and we just haven't found out yet!
5. Andrew has a twin
Apparently, some of you overly excited vampire slayers seem to think that everyone has a twin up in this joint — especially Andrew.
As much as we hope and dream of multiple Andrews wandering around Madison Ave, we're going to go ahead and say this is craziest fan theory out there.

Who's Online:
Oh wow, this story is amazing. I often asked myself what became of Daeron, and I ponder about Maglor almost all the time. There are so many wonderful passages in it I cannot decide what I like best. You painted the emotions of them so vivid in your writing, I am speechless, it is so sad, touching and in the end the hope they have lightened up my day as well. *lol* I will start read your Eluring/Elured story when I am back from work, as their fate always made me ponder as well, I always hoped they had survived.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad the story was able to touch you! I was lucky to have some fantastic scenery as inspiration when I started to write the story, so it was easy to picture the events unfolding. Since they're both characters with so much tragedy in their backstories, it was always going to have some rather intense emotional content, but I wanted them to find hope in each other and in their shared understandings.
I hope you enjoy All I Have Left! Just to note that at this point it's not posted in its entirety - there's one chapter and the epilogue still to go, but that is written; it's just with the beta at the moment. I'll try and get it up as soon as possible. The first few chapters may be a little rough compared with the end as I started it in about 2004 and didn't finish it till 2008 so my writing style has shifted a little, but hopefully it changes gradually enough not to jar!
Thank you for the lovely review!
After a discussion of the Nodolante, Dawn Felagund sent me here to read this story. What a wonderful experience--I adore this story. It manages to hit several of my most cherished aspects of Tolkien's canon, first and foremost, the Nodolante. Then I have always been fascinated by what Maglor and Daeron might have thought of one another and the incredible respect I have imagined they would have had for one another's artistry. A shameless sycophant of the Noldor I must admit that it always bothered me that Tolkien implies that Daeron was the greatest bard of the Eldar. You solved that problem for me in this story by drawing them as completely different, that is not to be compared one against the other and judged. On your treatment of the Noldolante itself, the best that I can say is to quote you back at yourself. The following quotes moved beyond anything I have read about it before:
"in its harmonies lie the hearts of my people, and I will do them all justice when I sing."
"His face had taken on an expression that seemed to reflect the whole history of the Noldor; mingled pride and grief, determination and pain."
"After the time spent calling back every memory of the Oath, the Exile, the Kinslayings and the Battles of the Great Lands, his heart felt as if it had been wrenched from his chest and ripped into pieces by Morgoth's armies; but that was the feeling for which he had
been striving. That was what was needed for this song, and so that was what he had sought and found."
"He poured his heart into the song, and not only that but his tears, his passion, his blood and his very life. The Noldolantë had always had this effect upon him; he ceased to be the singer and became the song."
"The passion and pride in the Noldo's voice had mingled so tragically with the agony and shame; it had left Daeron utterly wordless and breathless."
Just gorgeous.
Author's Response: Wow! What writer could ask for a more generous review? :) Thank you so much for your words - and for expressing them so eloquently. It means a lot to me that I'm able to touch people that way. I've always been somewhat fascinated by Noldolantë too - it seemed to me that something hailed as so tragic and beautiful would have had to be an event in its own right rather than just a mere song. I wanted to try to capture the depth of emotion and grief it must surely have contained.rnrnAnd yes, I was curious about how Daeron and Maglor would have interacted had they ever met properly. I'm very pleased you felt they were so different - I am always wary of ending up with stories in which the two lead characters are too similar. But I suppose culturally they have totally different backgrounds so it would make sense that their styles and outlooks would likewise be different. rnrnOnce again, thank you!
This was very good, although I skipped a few bits! Well done
Author's Response: Hehehe, thanks for reading, reviewing and enjoying? Which bits did you skip? I guess I enjoyed writing the exposition and really discovering the many facets of the two characters in this, so it came out longer than I initially planned!
I bow as not worthy. This is truly beautiful! I have to also say that I got quite a chuckle out of the dialog on writing. Exceptionally well done!
Author's Response: Thank you! I am very pleased you enjoyed it, and glad you were amused! It seemed so natural to write Maglor and Daeron meeting - their interests are so similar in so many ways, and yet they come from such different backgrounds, so some interesting conversation would be inevitable, I suppose. Thanks once again for the review!
Love it! I think it's the best you've written so far.
Author's Response: You gave me a review! Thank you! *hugs and snogs* Glad you enjoyed it...you were a fantastic beta and I appreciate your help no end. *hopes whatever she writes next isn't a miserable disappointment* ;)
Beautiful! I love it! It is so different from the many plotless stories I have seen which have only sex as their only purpose and climax. Very heartrending. Please keep up writing!
Author's Response: Oooh, thank you so much! *hugs* I didn't decide on a rating until it was 90% finished, and it just turned out to be pretty mild, which I think was better for Maglor, really! Will definitely keep writing...the muses won't give me a moment's peace otherwise!

CouchDB Performance
Seth Falcon gives CouchDB performance a nice going over in his article A quick look at CouchDB Performance. I actually tried to post a reply on the blog a couple of days ago, but I think something went wrong when I posted it. Anyway, my response is back, in blog form.
Performance-wise, things looks slightly better than I thought they would. A few things to note:
For Test 1, I created new documents in an empty database one after another in a loop.=== Add single doc in a loop === | N | sec | Docs/sec | |------–+------+----------| | 1000 | 9 | 111 | | 10000 | 102 | 98 | | 100000 | 1075 | 93 |The times scale linearly, but I was surprised to see a 1.3GB file size for the database in the 100K case.
I think he means the times scale constantly, not linearly, as a function of the number of documents in the database. Constant scaling is ideal, but in practice never achievable, and linear scaling is typical for unindexed, flat files. The actual update cost as a function of the number of documents is logarithmic, which is hard to see here. I think the fixed costs of the doc write, parsing and network overhead in these samples is outsizing the logarithmic degradation of the core index updates.
The large size of the file is due to the overhead of write-once internal indexes that must be partially copied with every document update. The compaction process will recover this space (the compaction code isn't done yet). In general, the amount of wasted space for a freshly compacted db should be less that 2x the raw document size (though the overhead per document is fixed + logarithmic cost, so large documents have less waste per document).
Here I was surprised both that 100K documents was enough to exhaust the system's memory and that the result was a complete crash of the server. I wonder how hard it would be to take advantage of Erlang's touted fault tolerant features to make the server more robust to such situations.
In this case, the high memory usage is due the lack of proper HTTP and JSON stream processing in the CouchDB HTTP server module. Everything is buffered before processing, causing the memory spikes you see. Switching to the mochiweb erlang HTTP server library will help with this.
And the fact that low memory causes the whole VM to crash is something that surprised and saddened me, and we are addressing it with a parent process to monitor and restart the VM process. I'm not happy at all that the Erlang VM is so fragile with memory allocations, I'd assumed it would terminate the virtual Erlang process requesting the memory, not the whole VM process. But I digress.
One thing I'd like to see are some concurrent client load tests, and see how many clients it supports and how performance looks with different read write loads. I think CouchDB will do very well here.
Anyway, great stuff Seth, thanks for the testing and article!

Thoughts on Optimizing CouchDB
As I've stated before, no profiling work has been done on CouchDB whatsoever. It has just been quick enough that it hasn't mattered at these still early stages, so nothing has been optimized. It also means that CouchDB has lots of room for performance improvement. If it's fast enough now, when some serious work has been put into optimizations it should scream. I'd guess with a couple weeks of profiling and optimization, just finding and eliminating the hot spots will result in a 10x performance increase. I'm just guesstimating because easy-to-fix hotspots in unprofiled code usually account for ~90% of low hanging performance fruit.
CouchDB has a custom storage and view indexing engine with a simple design that is optimized first for reliability and availability, while having good update, retrieval and indexing performance. It's also designed for high concurrency, using optimistic updates that never block readers. It trades disk space to get much of this (fortunately disk space is cheap and getting cheaper all the time).
Within the design of the core server and storage engine there is opportunity for many optimizations. Things off the top of my head: caching (Erlang has a really good native Judy Array implementation ideal for an object cache EDIT: I'm apparently wrong, the Judy array's never made into core Erlang? Anyway, Erlang does has ETS and an unordered set option which is ideal for an object cache.), unordered storage, data structure compaction and string atomization, binary data compression, more efficient string collation plus all the things I don't know about being performance problems because I haven't profiled yet.
Within the front end http server layer there are more big areas for optimization. Replacing the inets httpd server in favor of something more light weight, like the mochi web server, which will allow for http and json stream processing. Also, adding more bulk query http calls, for bulk reads and multi-key view lookups (the core already supports it, it's just not exposed to HTTP). Replication will speed up tremendously when it's http calls are performed in bulk.
View indexing has tons of optimizations that can be done and can easily become a project itself. Compression, IO optimizations, static analysis of map functions, etc, etc.
So if you ask how fast will CouchDB be, I say measure what it does now and expect it to do it at least 10x faster by 1.0. Being a big project with a lot a layers, I'd say a 10x improvement from the un-optimized baseline is an easy target to hit. In few years after more really smart engineers have worked on it, 100x may be possible.

Erlang VM crash
Jan writes a call for help for some Erlang and Spidermonkey problems we've been having.
It's an interesting reason that Erlang crashes. I spent some time looking at the crash dump and the server didn't look to be in a stressed state. It only had 10's of processes running, most of them part of the core server that are always running. It was only using 12 megs memory total and asking for 2 meg more. How could it fail to allocate 2 megs and then crash because of it?
Turns out it's running in shared, hosted, memory limited environment and the Spidermonkey engine was hogging all the allowed OS memory. I imagine when Spidermonkey fails the OS allocation, it runs the GC. When Erlang fails an OS allocation, the whole VM bites the dust. The fact that it bites the dusts isn't as disturbing I originally thought, but it did surprise me, I'd expected it to reset all it's internal state rather than just exit the OS process.
So the Erlang VM died suddenly with a failed memory allocation. This is actually quite okay as CouchDB is designed with crash-only design principles and will instantly restart with no fix-up cycle necessary. So in the interest of crash-only design, this really is the way to go. Crash and restart.
However, the Erlang VM didn't restart automatically. Apparently we need to configure something for that to happen, only we can't figure out how to make it work. The documentation is either wrong, confusing or the feature is buggy. This is the kind of stuff we keep hitting in Erlang. It's fantastically productive for many tasks, but using some of the built-in libraries and features can be a huge time sink. (inets and xmerl immediately spring to mind). I love Erlang, I really do, but I have a nasty Erlang rant building inside of me.
December 5, 2007
CouchDB Roundup (UPDATED)Update: Apparently I'm wrong about the Erlang file size driver issue, either it was fixed since I last checked or it was/is only broken on Windows or I was wrong all along. (Take yer pick). Jan got a live database to over 5 gigs with no issues whatsoever.
Buzz around CouchDB continues to grow. It's kinda freaking me out. Today I talked to guy a from Fortune magazine who wanted to know more about it, but I think I just end up confusing him.
Jan wrote a terrific tutorial for creating a simple Todo application with CouchDB.
Ajatus (http://www.ajatus.info/) is pure browser implementation of distributed document management system for CouchDB. I soooo want to spend more time playing with this.
About performance, because a lot of people are asking about it, I'll just say I don't know. I've not done any performance work on CouchDB. No one has that I'm aware of. It's been fast enough for most testing purposes, so we haven't profiled or optimized anything.
The biggest performance problem I'll bet is that CouchDB only caches only database headers in memory, so it actually goes all the way to the OS layers for all data on each query. Not just for document object reads, but also each btree node read in every index lookup, etc. On most systems the OS will maintain a memory cache of the database file, so disk IO itself doesn't become a bottleneck. Instead CouchDB appears to be CPU bound, because of all those unnecessary calls and copying data across layers, encoding and decoding, etc. The easy answer is high level object cache for the most common lookups, which I think will increase performance dramatically. But right now will also complicate things, as the design evolves it's best the code stay lean and nimble. So no caching for now.
Coming Soon
The next release I hope to have implemented the incremental reduce functionality. I've got the design worked out (I think) and it should work quite well and is functionally identical to Google's MapReduce, with incremental semantics. CouchDB already has an incremental map facility (the views), where the max cost of incrementally updating the views is logarithmic. Now I've figured out a fairly simple way of incrementally computing the reductions with logarithmic cost too, by extending the same view btree structures and storing intermediate reductions in the modified tree structures. Plus I get the built-in concurrency and crash-only semantics of the existing view model. Incremental reductions will open up a whole bunch of new reporting capabilities for CouchDB.
We also hope to have a new HTTP server layer. We are trying to move away from the Erlang inets httpd code base and use Mochiweb. It's appears to be a better match for CouchDB's purposes.
Want to Help?
- Security Model. CouchDB still needs a built-in security model. I have one in mind but I'm open to suggestions.
- Large File Driver. Total database file size is limited to a total file size of 2/4 gig (depending on the OS I think) because Erlang doesn't support large files in the std library. Large file support will require a special port driver to be created for Erlang. This driver might be a good start.
- Benchmark and Stress Testing. Curious about CouchDB performance, scalability and reliability? We need someone to create some test scripts and benchmarks to hammer CouchDB.
Got questions or suggestions? The mailing list is the best place to start.

Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

The reality is, every church experiences a measure of
conflict in some way or another. Churches are made up of people, and
anywhere people are involved in anything, there's the potential for
disagreement and conflict. Sadly, some congregations have experienced great
setbacks or splits due to such unresolved discord, while other churches have
learned how to head off or resolve such issues.
Church conflict frequently has to do with "power
struggles" within the congregation. That is, a contention for influence or
control. Sometimes this struggle for control comes from a self-serving lust
for power and prominence. At other times, perhaps well-intended persons
strive to gain influence to assert their own set of ideas and opinions. In
any case, power struggles are unethical and cause irreparable harm to the
body of Christ. God's Word tells us to pray for, respect and cooperate with
those authorized spiritual leaders of our church (Heb. 13:17, 1 Thes.
5:12-13). Insurrection is nowhere sanctioned in scripture.
Sometimes church conflict is caused by angry, troubled
people who redirect their personal unhappiness toward the church or its
leaders. Those who have discontent in their marriage, their jobs or any
number of problems, may lash out against other people — they may be
especially quick to find fault with the church, or make mountains out of
molehills. In addition, statistics say that one out of every five persons in
the average church struggles with emotional/mental problems. These persons
do not see reality the same way as others do. Their view of life is
distorted and twisted. Exaggerations and misunderstandings are a common
occurrence which can stir up turmoil and strife in the body.
One thing is dreadfully clear, those who become the
source of problems of this kind will only bring trouble upon themselves. "A
worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth; he winks with
his eyes, he shuffles his feet, he points with his fingers; perversity is in
his heart, he devises evil continually, he sows discord. Therefore his
calamity shall come suddenly; suddenly he shall be broken without remedy"
(Prov. 6:12-15).
According to Apostle Paul, the general root for strife
and division is spiritual immaturity and carnality. "...for you are still
carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you
not carnal and behaving like mere men?" (1 Cor. 3:3). The cure for this is
to repent for the sin of strife, and seek to grow and mature in the Lord.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Josh Smith had 23 points and 15 rebounds, Al Horford also posted a double-double and the Atlanta Hawks beat Washington 104-95 on Friday night to keep the Wizards winless on the road. Horford had 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Hawks, who have won eight of nine. The Wizards, who had won two of three following their 0-12 start, fell to 0-8 in road games. Kevin Seraphin had 19 points and Bradley Beal had 18 for Washington, which could not build on its win over defending champion Miami on Tuesday night. Jeff Teague had 19 points and DeShawn Stevenson made five 3-pointers for 15 points for Atlanta. Atlanta's last big lead of 18 points came at 70-52. Washington closed the third period with a hook shot by Seraphin and a 3-pointer from Beal to pull to 80-71. The Wizards kept the momentum in the opening minutes and got within two at 84-82 on Seraphin's 15-foot jumper. Horford answered with back-to-back baskets. Washington again cut the lead to two points at 91-89 but c...

Click here to fight back against big bank greed.CRASHING THE ECONOMY:
Role in subprime crisis
- Citigroup had a hand in the worst of the subprime lending excesses, providing financing to the nation's three largest subprime lenders, Countrywide, Ameriquest, and New Century Financial Corp. This financing provided the companies with the capital they needed to originate subprime mortgages. Citigroup also owned CitiFinancial, another major subprime lender. Together, these four firms issued over $280 billion in subprime loans from 2005-2007.
- Citigroup fits the textbook definition of a bank that is too big to fail. In October 2007, when a CIBC World Markets analyst downgraded Citigroup to "sector underperformer" it sparked a broad stock market sell-off, wiping out $369 billion in the U.S. stock market in one day.
- Citigroup put taxpayers on the hook for up to $341.1 billion in bailout funds, plus an unknown amount from the Federal Reserve's $8 trillion in emergency programs. Citigroup's bailout includes backing for $300+ billion worth of toxic assets, essentially a multibillion insurance package for its risky bets that is being financed by taxpayers.
- Despite large financial incentives from taxpayers, Citigroup's servicing company, CitiMortgage, Inc., has started trial mortgage modifications for only 23% of its 191,128 borrowers who are eligible for the Obama Administration's Making Home Affordable Program (and are at least 60 days past due).
- Citigroup's bailout has not translated to new credit for small business. In fact, the bank's lending to American small business fell by $34 million (a 77% drop) through the SBA's flagship 7(a) program, from 2008 to 2009 (measuring each only for the first 11 months of each fiscal year).
- Citigroup is paying $400 million for naming rights to Citi Field in New York, the new home of the New York Mets.
- Citigroup sponsored the Rose Bowl last year despite already having taken $45 billion in bailout funds.
- Even after being bailed out twice, Citigroup was set to purchase a new $50 million corporate jet in January, only cancelling the order after Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner insisted they do so.
- In 2008, Citigroup lost $27.7 billion, and yet it awarded its employees $5.3 billion in bonuses, and spent more than $32.4 billion on total compensation. With the bonus money alone, Citigroup could have given each of its bank tellers an estimated $123,000 raise, well over four times their median salary.
- Now Citigroup is increasing employees' base salaries to get around limits on bonuses for TARP recipients. The bank will hike salaries by as much as 50%, so that most employees' compensation will not come down from last year's levels.
- Citigroup is also trying to give energy trader Andrew Hall a $100 million payout even though the bank has received hundreds of billions in taxpayer bailouts and guarantees. The bank claims that Hall's payout package is exempt from the purview of the Obama Administration's pay czar. The ailing bank is considering spinning off the highly profitable business unit that employs Hall so that he can keep his $100 million.
- To help pay for its executives' bloated compensation, Citigroup has made itself the beneficiary on $4.2 billion in life insurance policies for its employees and former employees. The bank gets annual tax-free income from investments in the insurance contracts, helping to offset executive compensation expenses, and then receives another tax-free windfall when employees and former employees die.
Unreasonable bank fees
- When customers overdraw their Citibank accounts, the bank charges them $34 per transaction in overdraft fees -- without even asking if they wanted to enroll in an "overdraft protection" program. As a result, if a customer overdraws his/her account by $100, and that amount that remains unpaid for seven days, the APR on what amounts to a consumer loan would be a staggering 1,768%. Also, Citigroup reorders transactions in such a way to maximize fee revenue, even though Congressional criticism has led some of its competitors to halt the practice.
- Earlier this year, Citigroup arbitrarily raised interest rates on 13-15 million credit cards, and canceled others without first notifying the cardholders. Millions of Americans have been hurt by the credit crunch as banks like Citigroup tighten credit despite taking billions in bailout funds to jumpstart the economy.
- A recent report by the Center for American Progress (CAP) examining bank lending practices in 2006 (the height of the housing boom) reveals that Citigroup was much more likely to steer Black and Latino applicants than White applicants into higher priced subprime mortgages: 76.6% of Black borrowers and 73.5% of Latino borrowers compared to 51.2% of White borrowers.
- The CAP report also shows that the racial disparity was even greater for borrowers earning $100,000 or more: while the percentage of high income borrowers receiving high priced mortgages was cut nearly in half to 27.6% among Whites, the percentage remained relatively constant at 70.3% among high income Blacks and increased to 73.5% among high income Latinos. The extent of the disparity and its accentuation among higher income earners raise questions about discrimination in the bank's lending practices. This practice is known as reverse redlining and is prohibited under the federal Fair Housing Act.
Lobbying against workers and consumer interests
- Citigroup is a member of the Financial Services Roundtable, which lobbied against the Employee Free Choice Act in every quarter of 2008 and has made joining with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to defeat it a top priority for 2009. The measure would make it easier for workers to bargain with employers for better wages, benefits, and working conditions by ensuring that they can exercise a free choice to join together in a union without management interference or intimidation.
- On March 11th, Citigroup hosted a conference call to build opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act. The call was led by a senior executive at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Citigroup cited the bill when downgrading Wal-Mart's rating, leading to speculation that the move was politically motivated to try to paint the bill as anti-business.
- According to data obtained from Opensecrets.org, Citigroup spent $8.8 million on lobbying in 2008, and continued to lobby in the fourth quarter, even after receiving bailout funds. In the three quarters since the bailout, Citigroup has spent almost $4.9 million lobbying on issues including the Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act of 2009, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, the Consumer Overdraft Protection Fair Practices Act, the Mortgage Reform & Anti Predatory Lending Act, the Compensation Fairness Act of 2009, modernization of financial regulation, and international and domestic taxation.
- To carry out its agenda, Citigroup has hired any number of unsavory lobbyists, including Nicholas Calio, now Executive Vice President of Government Affairs for the bank. Calio was a member of the White House Iraq Group, the group charged with shaping the case for the war in Iraq by "educating the public" about the threat posed by Sadaam Hussein. Calio ultimately left the Bush administration stating ''I can't pay my bills. It comes down to the two F's: family and finances.'' Calio's position paid $145,000 per year. Calio left the Bush administration because he claimed that his $145,000 salary was not enough to "pay his bills" so instead he turned to lobbying for the financial industry. He also keeps over 1,000 bottles of wine in his basement.
- Citi has also hired lobbyist Steve Elmendorf, who, in addition to peddling Citi's message about bankruptcy reform and executive compensation, lobbies on behalf of UnitedHealth Group, the largest health insurance company in the US.

Washington DC Weather: Contined warm & dry
Temperatures will continue to run 10 to 15 degrees above normal into the weekend!
- Today:
- Partly Cloudy, Continued Warm
- Highs: Mid 80s
- Wind: NE/SE 3-5 mph
- Overnight:
- Partly Cloudy, Mild
- Lows: 50s to Middle 60s
- Wind: SE 2-4 mph
- Tomorrow:
- Mix Clouds and Sun, Very Warm (Stray Shower/Storm West)
- Highs: Mid to Upper 80s
- Wind: SW 4-8 mph
Almost…we hit 88º degrees yesterday, the warmest October day since 2010 but one degree off the record high of 89º. The driving force behind this weather is a ridge of high pressure that will shift a bit to the east over the coming days. The net result will reveal a few more clouds, but this very warm, dry pattern persists with no real rain chances until the start of next week. We are watching a tropical wave in the Gulf, which could transport some good moisture our way by Monday, if the models come to fruition. (Learn more about this in Alex Liggitt's latest blog.) In the meantime, make the most of this extended summer weather in October. Have a great day!

Did Blake Lively Show Us Her Wedding Dress in a Video Clip?
Besides offering adorable items for brides and grooms on her new lifestyle website, Preserve, Blake Lively might have let us in on another closely guarded wedding detail too: her wedding dress.
The site's welcome video shows lots of people in rustic Americana-style vignettes to embody Preserve's artisanal mission, but we had to keep watching the blink-and-you-miss-it 1:32 mark over and over again, because we're almost sure it's Blake dancing around excitedly during her wedding reception.
We can see Blake (or someone who's a dead ringer for her) jumping up and down in a white dress with sparkly beaded embellishments on the straps. Looks like a wedding dress to us! Her hair is also swept back into a chic low chignon. And if it is her (which we strongly suspect it is), she's wearing her Marchesa gown that has a very meaningful sparkler burn mark on the front.
The people around her also look like wedding guests dressed in formal attire surrounded by hanging paper lanterns at night.
What looks like Blake's hand is also visible at the :42 mark, showing off her gigantic oval-shaped diamond engagement ring.
We're obviously a little obsessed with Blake, but we'd also like to think that this clip isn't just wishful thinking! Do you think that this is Blake, Knotties?
Want more? Right here!

Local Hope Ol Winedrinker Who Wins Zia Derby
Local hope Ol Winedrinker Who overcame some drifting in the homestretch to capture the $150,000 Zia Park Derby by 3 3/4 lengths Dec. 1 in Hobbs, N.M.
Ol Winedrinker Who, one of only two horses in the race based in New Mexico, was facing five shippers.
"We knew it would be tough and didn't know if he could compete against such a good field," Marr said. "But we knew one thing, and that was that he was training as good as he could train and loved the course. I think that's got to help. He just likes it here."
"We've always been wanting to go long, and this is the race we've pointing towards for the last six to eight months," Marr said.
The victory, worth $89,100, boosted Ol Winedrinker Who's career earnings to $179,713.

I love this game!
If you can't tell from the title of this then you should probably stop reading this. I do honestly love this game, the cute retro design, the 8-bit mania, the fact you play as a cube of meat fighting a fetus! But the difficult of this game is why this is a 4.5 not a 5 I can't recommend this to everyone because some people can't time these things and I wouldn't wanna be to bold to say everyone should buy it. But if you love classic plat formers that are packed with insanity then you should definitely try this.

Dark Horse Comics will be releasing more vintage restored comics. The release of these formerly impossible to find comics will hopefully attract new readers to the world of vintage collectibles. The comics will be released over the next few months and will have forewords by Dan Nadel and Michael T. Gilbert.
May 16, MILWAUKIE, OR—With a jaw-dropping selection of well-known titles, accurate color restoration, uncoated off-white paper, and an impressive roster of foreword writers, Dark Horse Archives is hitting another peak season this year with a lineup of pre-Code collections!
This heavy-hitting year will see more volumes in the Crime Does Not Pay Archives series, with engaging forewords from Greg Rucka and Howard Chaykin. Adventures into the Unknown Archives will feature a series of essays by Bruce Jones, focusing on the long-running horror anthology and the climate that led to the Comics Code Authority.
Historian Dan Nadel will provide enlightening introductions for Forbidden Worlds Archives—a true "grab bag" anthology where anything strange, fantastic, or horrific can happen—and writer/artist/historian Michael T. Gilbert will write a series of information-packed foreword pieces for Silver Streak Archives Featuring the Original Daredevil.
"The comics found in these collections are incredibly hard to find, expensive, and full of freewheeling, pre-Code fun (and sometimes viscera). It's a joy to be able to handle these comics and work on these collections—but a bigger joy comes from being able to bring these stories to new readers and to finally assign credits to some creators who have been uncredited for decades!" said Dark Horse editor Philip Simon.
The comics in these anthologies are seen as revered and influential—but they've been impossible to find. Now Dark Horse is making these gems available in affordable collections for discussion, dissection, and inspiration!
Adventures into the Unknown Archives Volume 1 is on sale May 30, 2012.
Silver Streak Archives Featuring the Original Daredevil Volume 1 is on sale June 27, 2012.
Crime Does Not Pay Archives Volume 2 is on sale July 11, 2012.
Forbidden Worlds Archives Volume 1 is on sale December 12, 2012.

At the age of just 32 and 16 weeks pregnant with her second baby girl, Briana Dannen was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer on October 14, 2013. The words she used to describe her and her husband's reaction were "shocked and devastated".
Four months and 6 chemo treatments later, Briana is being induced to deliver her healthy baby girl early on March 10 so she can move on to a stronger chemo drug that she is unable to take while pregnant. All who know her are humbled by her strength and amazing attitude. She is a high school teacher in our small town in Oregon and strong in her Catholic faith. She is taking her cancer on face to face, determined to defeat it, but the exhaustion is indescribable, the nausea and fatigue from chemo sometimes overwhelming. She is long since out of sick days and still has a long road ahead.
What will your donation go toward? Everything from co-payments and anti-nausea drugs to diapers, wipes and baby formula as she will not be able to breast feed, much to her disappointment. It will help them purchase a double video monitor, one for each baby girl, so on those days when she can't even lift her head off the pillow, she can at least watch their little movements and be invigorated by the two little lives she helped create. To purchase a double stroller for the girls, to simply help make ends meet when the sick days are too many to count and the bills keep coming.
On behalf of the Dannen and Braxmeyer families and all who know and love and are supporting Brian, Briana and their girls in any way we can, we thank you for your consideration and any donation you make to this fund.

Steck crumpled to the moraine, and it looked as though he'd be bludgeoned to death.
"ridge of rock deposited by a glacier," 1789, from French moraine (18c.), from Savoy dialect morena "mound of earth," from Provençal morre "snout, muzzle," from Vulgar Latin *murrum "round object," of unknown origin, perhaps from a pre-Latin Alpine language. Related: Morainal; morainic.
A mass of till (boulders, pebbles, sand, and mud) deposited by a glacier, often in the form of a long ridge. Moraines typically form because of the plowing effect of a moving glacier, which causes it to pick up rock fragments and sediments as it moves, and because of the periodic melting of the ice, which causes the glacier to deposit these materials during warmer intervals. ◇ A moraine deposited in front of a glacier is a terminal moraine. ◇ A moraine deposited along the side of a glacier is a lateral moraine. ◇ A moraine deposited down the middle of a glacier is a medial moraine. Medial moraines are actually the combined lateral moraines of two glaciers that have merged.
A pile of debris, often extending for miles, deposited by a glacier. It is composed of rock fragments transported by the ice, which are left behind when the ice melts.

Sumbawanga — THE Sumbawanga District Magistrate's Court has sentenced five residents from Ulinji Village to three years in jail for severely assaulting a fellow villager, Romanus Mwananzyungu (36), accusing him for being a thief.
The Court had, however, offered the convicts an option of paying 500, 000/- fines in place of jail sentences, but they all failed to raise the money. Passing the judgment, Magistrate Mr Manase Goroba said it had been proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had committed the crime.
"Actually, the prosecution proved its case against the accused beyond reasonable doubt, therefore, I sentence each of you to three years in jail," ruled Mr Goroba The five convicts are Alfred Emanuel Bilia (58), Anania Albano (25), Justin Marekani (33), Issac Alfred Bilia (23) and Shadrack Emanuel Bilia (40).
Prosecuting earlier, Assistant Inspector of Police, Mr Emanuel Shani charged before the court that the accused committed the crime on January 30 in 2011, at around 8 p. m. at Ulinji Village in Sumbawanga Municipality. "Although all the accused had no previous criminal records, I pray the court to pass severe sentences that will serve as a lesson to others," said the prosecutor.
It was alleged before the court that on that material night the accused, armed with crude weapons, attacked and caused bodily harm on their fellow villager, until he fainted. They were accusing him of stealing a plough.
"The five convicts, dumped Mwanazyungu beside the road thinking that they had killed him and fled from the scene," added the prosecutor. However, it was not yet clear if the convicts will appeal against the sentence and conviction.

Background Links
|An Introduction to Designing User Interface Controls at SAP
By Jens Heuer, SAP AG, Usability Engineering Center – September 1, 2000
Sometimes, creating applications for the web can be a pain in the neck. Especially when you come to realize that things would be really easy if you were just using standard development tools.
As a matter of fact, web development leaves you with only the most basic interaction elements: buttons, input fields, check- and radiobuttons, and dropdown listboxes. So if you need something more than that, it's time for some workarounds.
Let's have a closer look a the dropdown listbox (DDL). In it's current implementation, a DDL is just that: a simple list that has a fixed number of entries and is not very helpful in selecting an item with the keyboard. Basically there are two ways to make a DDL a bit more useful: We can either try to extend it's positioning capability by typing more than the first letter of an entry; second, we can combine the selection of items with a way to let users add new entries into the list. In this article we take a closer look at the latter approach.
Note: There is a page with a working demo and the javascript code.
Sometimes you get to the point where you just want to see that one entry that's not contained in the DDL. Well, if the developer had foreseen this, he probably would have provided a separate input field to allow you type an additional item number or description. You would, however, have to first select the radiobutton that tells the application to accept the input from the input field rather than from the DDL. And then it seems a waste of space to have this extra field in a separate row in your MiniApp - to enter something you maybe only need once a week.
Figure 1: Using two fields for input
A much sleeker design would result if we could combine the input and the selection into one interface element, as figure 2 shows (Note you could even omit the 'Go' button in this design).
Figure 2: Using the listbox extension
In the next paragraphs I will explain how this works using a little front side javascript scripting. You can also see a working demo and the respective javascript code.
An obvious solution would be to use a dropdown combination box ("combobox"
for short). This combobox allows you to select values from the list as well
as enter new values which subsequently get added to the list. The sad thing
is that we don't have a combobox for the Web yet - it will available only with
the upcoming XHTML standard
and browsers that support that standard.
So the idea is to create a combination of selection of input and selection with the features HTML has to offer. We need three "ingredients" to achieves this:
The actual idea is quite simple. We take a DDL that contains the items that a user normally selects plus an extra item called "new value." When the user selects this item, it means that she wants to create a new entry in the list. The DDL could look like this:
The next step is to create an entry prompt when the user clicks on "New value." To make the interaction as simple as possible, the prompt is displayed in a very small modal dialog window which looks like this:
After typing a value and either choosing "Enter" or clicking "OK," the dialog box closes and the value is added to the listbox in the application. Note that the newly typed value should be activated and displayed in the listbox, so that a click on the "Go" button immediately makes the correct selection.
Since this value is entered into the list, the user can make a selection
rather than typing the next time the same value is needed.
Voila: Although it's still a workaround, the listbox now almost behaves like a real combobox - and you don't even have to wait for a new browser. However, there are a few things to note when you are planning to use this technique.
Essentially, errors can occur in two situations: the user mistypes a value (e.g. using letters instead of numbers) or the input has the correct format, but is not found in the referred database. The first category of errors are syntactic, while we'll refer to the latter as "semantic" errors. Depending on the type, there are basically two ways of avoiding or handling them:
Figure 3: Example of an in-place error message
Whatever kind of error occurs, you should always take care that the list itself only contains valid entries.
So, now that the user has added some additional values to the list, the question is how long they should be kept in there. We'll call this the question of 'persisting' the entries. There are three different ways of handling this persistence:
The type of persistence you should choose depends entirely on the task to be performed. If the new values are used rather seldomly (e.g. someone has to look something up for a colleague who's ill), the session-length persistence is a good bet. If the task is to maintain a sort of history or most recently used list, you should go for the permanent persistence method.
As I've said before, this listbox extension is a workaround and may or may not fit a specific usage situation. Here are just a few rules of thumb where this technique might be appropriate:
Obviously, there are a lot of alternative solutions to the same problem - and this is one of them. In my next article I will present a way to use the keyboard more effectively to search listboxes with many entries.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - May 16, 2000):
Labrot & Graham's Old Oscar Pepper Distillery is importantly associated with the development of the bourbon industry, an enterprise of national significance centered in Kentucky. As the birthplace of bourbon in the 1830s, this site illustrates the evolution of the trade from the traditional pot still distilling of farmers during the early 19th century to the mature and highly specialized industry of the post-Repeal era. This 72 acre site has been used for the conversion of grain into alcohol since 1812, and its industrial architecture setting stands with few modern intrusions.
The property is in great condition.
There are no changes to the landmark.

Nashville Songs: Music From Season 1, Episode 4, "We Live in Two Different Worlds"
Nashville Season 1, Episode 4, "We Live in Different Worlds" was packed with much more drama than music — Juliette's (Hayden Panettiere) recreational stealing, Gunnar's (Sam Palladio) new conquest, Teddy's (Eric Close) mysterious car conversation with Peggy. That's Ok, though, because what songs there were were spot on, as usual. Check out the full list below!

Artist: Lindi Ortega
Song: "Murder of Crows"

Artist: Los Campesinos!
Song: "By Your Hand"
Music moment: Gunnar tells Scarlett that they got the deal
I was sitting on my hands at the top-deck of the 178, spitting cusses at my face reflected in the windscreen pane. Throwing insults and calling names. Filthy SMSs that you sent through the day, by sundown become tame, so I set it in motion again. But fates a cruel mistress, girl, the prettiest in the world. She dresses loosely in a bathrobe with her hair up in curls, 'cause we were kissing for hours with her hands in my trousers, she could not contain herself, suggests we go back to her house. But here it comes, this is the crux, she vomits down my rental tux. I'm not sure if it's love anymore, but I've been thinking of you fondly for sure. Remember what your heart is for. By your hand is the only end I foresee, I have been dreaming you've been dreaming about me And it's a good night For a fist fight Because the dew will temper your fall You'll sing me lullabies in form of your cat-calls

Artist: AgesandAges
Song: "Alright You Restless"
Music moment: McKenna tries to talk to Juliette as she does yoga
Alright, you restless, arise and make believe it isn't dangerous To show the fervor you hide. Your big idea's safe with us. We've got no act to critique, no reason not to take you serious. So, mull it over, you'll see you're bigger here than where you're at We're ready and don't you know this life is good enough We're ready and don't you know this life is good enough So get on, get up, you got so much so many wither away But that won't happen to us I came up hard with a weight that didn't ever seem to taper off And no amount of restraint could keep it all from adding up But, here our conscience is clean and we've no need to make apologies And all who come are the same, you're bigger here than where you're at We're ready and don't you know this life is good enough

Anyone know when we will know who will be on the roster for the NLDS? Game time? Is there a deadline? Curious as to how many pitchers we are going to carry and so forth.
shut up
ps. Dayton sucks
Wednesday morning
What batting order would you guys put out there if you were Dusty?
I'd have to go with...
1. Stubbs
2. Phillips
3. Votto
4. Rolen
5. Bruce
6. Gomes/Nix
7. Cabrera
8. Hernandez/Hanigan (although you could make a case to bump Hanigan up in the lineup)
Just curious what others think
The 11 pitchers almost surely will be:
Volquez, Arroyo, Cueto, Bailey, Wood
Massett, Cordero, Ondrusek, Chapman, Rhodes and Bray
The position player locks are:
Votto, Phillips, Cabrerra, Rolen, Gomes, Bruce, Stubbs, Hernandez
Cairo, Janish, Nix, Hannigan and Heisey
That leaves one spot for Edmonds, Alonso, or Fransisco. I think the Reds will keep Edmonds if he is able to hit. Then Fransisco, Then Alonso.
I would give a spot to Harang over Alonso or Francisco..I know it's not gonna happen but he deserves it so much more than either of those 2.
i thought alonso couldn't be on the postseason roster because he didn't called up until september 1
Alonso was not up until September first, but Edmonds was on the roster. They could replace Edmonds with Alonso.
No way should Alonso be on the post season roster. No matter how much talent he has and how good he might be some day, he's not ready for major league pitching yet. He currently can't hit an average major league fastball. Francisco or Valaika would be better choices than Yonder. ( I do wish him all the best though, and hope he'll be ready for a breakout season next year.)
The Reds have up to 10am game day to present the roster.
how does everyone think bailey and wood will be used out of the pen?
I'm guessing Wood is used sparsely out of the pen, only because I could see him starting game 4 depending on the circumstances (ie., we're up 2-1, or Volquez had somewhat rough first start).

NASA-backed space spider concept to build giant satellites in orbit
Space is a place for finished products. The satellites we send into orbit are checked, rechecked and then triple checked to make sure that nothing will fail. That finished product is then neatly folded, packed away atop a giant rocket, and blasted off into orbit.
But one company in the US, recently awarded $500,000 (£320,000) by NASA, wants to change this paradigm. Tethers Unlimited wants to change the way we think about the things we put into space. In their words, they want to "launch the process, not the product".
Introducing SpiderFab, a potentially revolutionary idea for constructing satellites and other piece of kit in orbit, instead of building them on Earth and launching them ready-made. Using 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing techniques, SpiderFab could build large-scale space structures the likes of which have never been seen before.
"What we're working towards is enabling a satellite to fabricate and integrate large components on orbits," Rob Hoyt, CEO and Chief Scientist of Tethers Unlimited.
