Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 2/16/13
Paula Pasche of the Oakland Press writes that Lions K Jason Hanson is still weighing his options as to whether or not he'll be returning for 22nd season in the NFL. "I told them I really want to take my time and make sure that I'm not making a mistake by coming back and not going to regret that I left if I do,'' said Hanson. Hanson, 42, will be an unrestricted free agent in a matter of weeks, but it's highly unlikely that he would be considering any team other than the Lions. Detroit has made it clear that they would like Hanson to return for another season, but it seems likely that he would have to be willing to take a pay cut from the $2.3 million salary he made last season. Throughout his career, Hanson has made 495 field goals out of 601 attempts and has scored a total of 2150 points as the Lions kicker. The post Lions K Jason Hanson Still Pondering Retirement appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Notes & Reviews:
"...Lehnhoff and Kent Nagano handpicked an exceptional group of singers, as good a cast as one could assemble. The exalted level of musicianship coupled with the director's dramatic vision make for a particularly successful realization of Wagner's elusive final work... Technically, this DVD is superb. The video transfer is exquisite... The audio is just as good... Heavenly voices appear in the rear speakers just when you'd hope they would. This DVD is highly recommended for the video-inclined Wagnerian and for all opera-lovers who want an exemplification of the humanistic heights the genre can reach." -FanfareNotes & Reviews:

FreeBSD 61.11: XFree and audio cannot be used simultaneously
I've installed the latest nvidia driver. Xfree works without interrupt now. But when I try to use audio having XFree running (mplayer or mp3blaster in another console) I have my machine hanged. Audio is nvidia's MCP (A7N266-C motherboard).
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE XFree is build from the latest ports.
Does someone have any suggestions about it?
Re: FreeBSD 61.11: XFree and audio cannot be used simultaneously
Is there a person who has nForce chipset, uses FreeBSD 5.2.1, X 4.4.0, video & onboard audio with ACPI? I could make it to work WITHOUT ACPI. Have anyone made it to work WITH ACPI?

Boston cabs following the rules?
posted at 1/8/2008 8:48 AM ESTThe Boston Police Department's Hackney Unit is cracking down on a dress code for taxi driver, amongst other rules. How would you rate Boston cab drivers on following the Hackney rules?
Boston cabs following the rules?
posted at 1/8/2008 9:52 AM EST
How would I rate them? In general, very low. Try getting a cab from Logan to the North End. Or East Boston, or Winthrop. The drivers act like you are killing them. I dread getting into a cab at the airport and most times hop a hotel shuttle with a 20 in my hand or take the T if its not too late.
I'm tired of people telling me "they HAVE to take you where you ask them once you're in the cab". I don't know about anyone else, but I don't feel comfortable being a passenger when the driver clearly has animosity towards me. And cell phone use? I ask my friends to hang up when I'm in the car but would I ask a cabbie? No way.
Lets not even get into how much some took advantage of Big Dig construction to take strange detours and run up the meter. Or take a longer route to any given destination. I could go on and on.
I have been surprised by very pleasant rides but that should not be the exception.
Boston cabs following the rules?
posted at 1/8/2008 11:30 AM ESTSandy baby - how right you are. Only once did we take a cab from Logan.And it was a disaster. The cab broke down twice. The second time, itwas near our home - so our 11 year old son crossed several lawns (inpouring rain) and got hold of our neighbor - who came to pick us up.Don't know, what happened to the cab after we left, but it still costus the fare of $60. And that was 15 years ago.
After that experience, we now park our own car in one of the lots. Addsare not allowed here - so I can't tell you where, but it isreasonable and we have our own car to take us home, w/o breaking down.

posted at 1/8/2008 4:11 PM EST
The one time I did mention a big tip was when I was left standing, cold, tired and hungry at 2 AM, at the side of the curb at Logan when a cab refused to take me to Winthrop. I screamed "You just gave up a big tip, you a**h*le!" Was it the adult thing to do? No...but felt good! Thats when I learned the "slip the shuttle bus driver a 20" trick. He witnessed my melt down and said - hop in, lady!
I do understand what your friend is saying about the tip thing...but I waitressed and tended bar for years. I treated my customers who ordered a ten dollar pizza and pitcher of soda with the same respect as those who ordered two full dinners, appetizers and cocktails. I'm sure there are waitresses out there who'd roll their eyes at a "cheap" table but I never did.
One time I did NOT tip a cab driver was giong to a wedding in EB at the airport. He took me on a tour of Southie supposedly trying to get through construction to the Ted. I asked why we were going that way and he said 'we have to take the backroads to get to the tunnel'. When it came time to pay the meter, I gave him as close to exact as I could and tols him his tip was on the backroads on Southie. Again, not my best moment but it felt good!

But the district says it had little to do with figuring the contingency budget, and it simply adhered to guidelines set in state law.
"We followed the law as it stands. If they want to change the law, we'll follow that," said Superintendent Eric Ely.
Ely said that the school district has experienced an 800-student increase in enrollment over the past two years, in part because of charter school closures and fluctuating populations. While the enrollment study predicted a large enrollment increase, he maintains it was accurate.
"They look five years into the past and five years into the future using their methods, and we selected the one that was most accurate," he said.
Instead of pulling more money from taxes to pay for more students under a contingency budget, said Ely, the district will cut costs and increase class sizes under the adopted budget.
Tedisco and Amedore maintain that the present law allows the opportunity for schools everywhere to pigeonhole voters should they choose to do so.
"What we don't need is any school board in the state of New York to threaten or to hang over the heads of the taxpayers huge tax increases if they don't vote in favor of the initial budget," said Amedore.
Amedore said that he's meeting with the Education Department to identify the specific methods to use in instating the cap.
Tedisco hinted that the bill could be a step towards larger reform like a property tax cap, which he favors. Under a tax cap, schools would be barred from proposing large year-to-year budget increases. The most typically suggested cap is 4 percent.""

I've just had time to listen to part of it and plan to listen to the rest later. It's so true!
I've recently become intrigued by the Free Skool movement. As an unschooling family with two very extraverted girls, we're finding it very challenging to provide them with all the interaction with the larger community that they crave (especially dd1), especially since we live on only my income and I earn less than $20,000 a year. Most of the homeschooling families we know who are very active and involved in the outside world have a little more disposable income than we do, at least enough to drive around to different places, get together with others at coffee houses, and so on.
So I've been very excited lately to learn about this growing movement in my city to get people together to share ideas and skills -- for free. I'm eager to get involved and see where it takes us!
I'm glad you liked the first part of it, mammal_mama. I have forwarded it to as many people as I can...it has totally reawakened my desire to pull my kids out of school and unschool. The guy that gave the talk has been very pro-unschooling for years. He's very inspirational to listen to.
great! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Day in Paradise @BeautifulDayMom facebook.com/beautifuldaymama
Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed it. I have spent the past 36 hours really contemplating homeschooling my DD. I can't say I know what I'm going to do, but this TEDtalk was very compelling.

Fall 2014
As computers become ubiquitous, they become more and more embedded not only in the devices we own and use but in our lives. As a result, computers become embedded in the physical world, with their primary purpose being to detect and analyze happenings in our world and to produce responses that affect that world. As computing professionals, we need to understand how computers can process information from the physical world as digital signals: multimedia (sound, images, video) and other measurements (in medical instruments, cars, cell phones, eyeglasses, etc). This is "Signal Computing". Digital signals place great demands on processing power, network bandwidth, storage capacity, I/O speed, and software design. As a result, signal computing is a great laboratory for exercising the full range of knowledge of computer science.
While there certainly may be many opportunities for you to work in signal computing, the value of this study extends far beyond. Studying signal computing and its underlying mathematics directly exercises key computer science abilities in areas like abstraction and algorithmics. As this course progresses, we take a familiar representation of digital signals or operations, reach a concept in which it is awkward or difficult to use, and then develop an alternative representation that simplifies matters. This is exactly what computing professionals do in their careers -- identify that a problem at hand can be represented by some abstraction with known properties that can be manipulated by well-understood algorithms.
The specific topics we will cover include: physical properties of multimedia source information (sound, images), devices for information capture (microphones, cameras), digitization, compression, digital media representation (JPEG, MPEG), digital signal processing, and network communication. By the end of this course, you will understand the problems and solutions facing multi/hypermedia systems development in the areas of user interfaces, information retrieval, data structures and algorithms, and communications. As a result, you should be well-prepared to work with electrical engineers in the design of advanced signal processing systems (for example, wireless communication devices or biomedical instrumentation) and multimedia computing systems.
December 3, 2014: I've added project report guidelines to this site.
September 26, 2014: I've added Catalyst tools for online lab submission and discussions. I've also updated the schedule to fix the missing lab 7 and to reflect the fact that 10/16 will involve an out-of-class activity.
September 21, 2014: I've added a rubric that describes expectations for laboratory reports. In this course, labs are begun in class and completed as homework.
September 9, 2014: Behold the syllabus and rejoice! The navigation bar to the left now links to HTML and PDF versions of the course syllabus. Because I always believe that no plan can long survive contact with reality, there is also a link to an "updated schedule", which I will indeed update as the quarter progresses and changes occur.
August 28, 2014: The textbook and lab book are now "final". That doesn't mean they are error free, but they won't be modified during the quarter. Any errata will be handled separately.
August 26, 2014: I am making some final tweaks to the course textbook; its home page is here. Don't print it out or otherwise commit to using that version for the quarter. There won't be super substantial changes to it, but you might as well wait for the golden master.
July 29, 2014: We've just added this elective to the time schedule for fall. Stay tuned for awesomeness!

Android in Nov 2012: Jelly Bean and ICS continue their growth
The Android distribution statistics for November just arrived, showing an over two-fold increase in the Jelly Bean market share.
Version 4.1 Jelly Bean is now on 5.9% of the Android devices from 2.7% last month, while the recently released 4.2 Jelly Bean already powers 0.8% of the droids out tehre. Undoubtedly, the release of the new Nexus devices has to do something with it, butthe release of JB updates from Samsung and HTC has also helped a bit.
The Ice Cream Sandwich share also grew to 27.5%, 1.7 percent points higher than it was in October. It's unlikely for this number to drop below 20% any time soon, as the majority of low- and mid-range devices are now rocking this Android version of the OS out of the box.
Naturally, the growth of both Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich is at Gingerbread's expense. It's still taking the largest piece of the pie at 50.6%, but that's 3.3 percent points lower than last month and 5.2 percent points lower than it was in September.
To check out more details on the latest Android distribution numbers, check out the source link below.

New York, June 6, 2012 -- We have yet to receive full details of NASDAQ's plan. However, we believe it would be wholly inconsistent with fair practice and an undue burden on competition to allow NASDAQ to use pricing and other machinations as a guise for fairly compensating those impacted by the Facebook IPO issues. Such a tactic would potentially strongly incent customers to divert order flow to NASDAQ in order to receive compensation to which they are entitled, and allow NASDAQ to reap a benefit from market share gains they would not have otherwise received. This is tantamount to forcing the industry to subsidize NASDAQ's missteps and would establish a harmful precedent that could have far reaching implications for the markets, investors and the public interest. We intend to strongly press our views that NASDAQ's proposal cannot be allowed to permit an unjust and anti-competitive situation.

2014 was the year of Future Islands, so it felt right that they celebrated their massive year with a pair of sold out shows at Terminal 5, which were their largest (non-festival) shows of their career. Although there was no way for it to match the intimacy of their intimate showing at Death By Audio last November, their performance at the large Terminal 5 proved that they are more than deserving of their long overdue success.
On November 18 Future Islands were the secret guests at Death By Audio. Once word spread that it was them, it didn't take much for a huge line to form all the way down to Kent Ave. It's funny because Future Islands played DBA almost the same time a year ago to the date, but their following has grown quite substansially with the breakout year that they had this year thanks to the release of Singles.

The Society Islands is the project of German-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Boris Rogowski. Last month he released his new album The Big Sleep.
On the album is the dreamy "Archer" which has some elements of Grizzly Bear at work with some mesmerizing synth work along with power-folk bits that provide a colorful soundscape that takes the listener to a different world completely.

There was a energy in the air at City Hall Plaza last night, and that energy was Future Islands.
I don't know what more I can say about Future Islands this year without repeating myself. But I will, since they've given top notch performance each and every time that I have seen them this year (four times now), and clearly deserve the praise. Last night's Boston Calling performance (which opened the fest) was no different. Read the rest of this entry »
Last night featured a stacked free show at House Of Vans featuring performances from Future Islands, Operators, Omar Souleyman, Mas Ysa. With free beer attached to a lineup as solid as that, the show was very much filled to capacity. The venue filled up so fast that some fans who RSVP'd were shut out of the show even though they were waiting on line (I had a few friends who unfortunately didn't make it in). I covered the sets from both Future Islands and Operators, and got some photos as well.

There's been no better story in 2014 than the rise of Future Islands. Not only are they arguably the best thing going right now in music, but they deserve it more so than anyone else. They've been working hard for years and its all lead up to this. Thanks to a legendary performance in front of Mr. Letterman, some incredible SXSW performances, as well as the release of their incredible new album Singles, it's all added up to some well deserved success. On Wednesday night they landed in New York City to play a sold out show at Webster Hall along with fellow Baltimore bands Ed Schrader's Music Beat and Chiffon. Read the rest of this entry »
The rise of Future Islands has without a doubt been one of the best stories of 2014. It's been amazing to see the amount of success that their new album Singles has brought them.
Yours Truly captured the band right before it all went down in their latest "Time For The Show" series. They followed the band as they traveled from NYC to Baltimore for a homecoming show at a tiny Baltimore venue known as the Floristree. Director Tyler McPherron captured the drive there where the band talked about their music, Baltimore, playing live, and what success means to them. All this was mixed in with the band's performances of "Seasons (Waiting on You)" and "A Dream of You and Me" from the show.
It's a must watch. Find it posted below.

Ask most SXSW attendees who was the "winner" of SXSW, most would tell you Future Islands, and you know what, they're right. I don't think any other act left the festival with as much buzz and praise as the Baltimore, Maryland band.
What's odd is that with the release of their latest LP Singles this week, the band have four albums under their belt. So by no means are they newbies. But they're starting to connect with audiences on a totally different level. The first start was their epic performance of "Seasons (Waiting On You)" on Letterman. Then they've been just plain killing it live. Word of mouth spread, and damn, I don't think there's a hotter band going right now.
I'm glad because after seeing them live for the first time at Hype Hotel, these guys deserve it. Frontman Samuel Herring is as captivating of a frontman as they come. His passionate, husky vocals and crab-like dance movements are quirky and awkward (in the best way). But they're very much his, and because its so honest and true, its transcendent. You'll think of them when you're listening to Future Islands or the next time their name comes up. When he wasn't dancing he was singing to fans, looking at you dead in the eyes as he conveyed his lines.
Getting to hear "Seasons (Waiting On You" live made me appreciate what these guys are about. They have this quality to them that just hits you like a ton of bricks, taking over your entire body and soul without you even realizing, or knowing why. They just got it.
Future Islands have a sold out show at Webster Hall on April 30. I advise you find a way to get your hand on tickets, as it's a show you don't want to miss. Hopefully I will see you there.
Find many photos of their fantastic performance below. But first, here's their Letterman performance:

Last week Future Islands announced their new album Singles is out March 25 via 4AD.
They've given us our first taste of the record, with the album's first single: "Seasons (Waiting On You)." You'll notice it's a more polished sound from the band, but those distinct vocals from singer Samuel T. Herring are still very much working their magic. Loving that groovy bass-line and the general sound of this track.
You can check it out via it's music video. Jay Buim directed it. It's posted below.

GAY MARRIAGE CHALLENGE - Mitch Perry
Three gay couples dropped their lawsuits today challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act, saying they don't want to risk having a conservative U.S. Supreme Court set legal precedent by rejecting their cases.
Attorney Ellis Rubin, who was representing the couples, and the American Civil Liberties Union had said they would take the cases all the way from Florida's federal courts to the Supreme Court. The suits were brought by gay couples married in Massachusetts and Canada who wanted Florida to recognize their marriages.
Florida law only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman, a law that is supported by the Defense of Marriage Act. It allows states to disregard gay marriages performed in other states and foreign countries.
Rubin said in a statement the decision was made along with the ACLU's Gay and Lesbian Rights Project. Key in the decision was the Supreme Court's recent refusal to hear a challenge to the Florida law that bans gays from adopting children.
Two of the lawsuits were dismissed by a federal judge in Tampa last week. The third case, filed in Miami, had not been heard. If the dismissals had been appealed, the conservative 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta would have heard the case. Its ruling could have been appealed to the Supreme Court.
Robin Tyler, executive director of the Equality Campaign, the gay rights group that helped bring the lawsuits, said she doesn't consider the decision to drop the suits a setback for her cause. She said once the Supreme Court opted NOT to hear the case about gay couples being forbidden to adopt, their strategy changed (roll tape#1 o.q.â�in the cultural warâ�)
Tyler said her group's attention will now be focused on changing individual state laws to allow marriage between same-sex couples and other legal challenges in less conservative districts. The group is also battling efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban same-sex marriages.."(roll tape#2 o.q.â�on the next decadeâ�)
The Rev. Nancy Wilson, one of the participants in the lawsuits, said she agreed with the decision. She was seeking to have her Massachusetts marriage to Paula Shoenwether recognized by Florida.Wilson, a minister in the Metropolitan Community Church, a nationwide church for gay Christians, said she will continue to fight Florida's gay marriage ban in other ways.comments powered by Disqus

Thanks to fans like you, many members of the Chester community will be warm this winter as the fifth annual Coats for Chester drive was yet again a success at PPL Park.
Fueled by the SEPA Hall of Fame and assisted by the Philadelphia Union Foundation and the Sons of Ben, over 520 coats collected over a two week campaign beginning with the Union's Oct. 11 match against Columbus and ending – at least on Toyota Plaza and the SoBs tailgate area – before Saturday's win over Sporting Kansas City.
And while the drive may have ended here, there is still plenty of time to donate your gently worn coats to the cause, by going onto SEPAsoccerhall.com and finding a location near you.
Bob Kozlowski, president of the SEPA Soccer Hall of Fame said that this year's drop was the most collected over the years at PPL Park calling the support a "great vehicle" for getting the word out.
"A big thank you to everyone at the Union for helping kick off our Coats for Chester coat drive with two successful collection nights at the Oct. 11th and Oct. 18th games," Kozlowski expressed via email. "Between the Sons of Ben collecting at their tailgates and the SEPA Hall of Fame collecting on the Toyota Plaza, we were able to acquire 520 coats. This is a great start as it way more than we have gotten at these games in past years…we also talked to many fans who walked by, explaining they could drop off coats at the many locations listed on our website (www.SEPAsoccerhall.com) until November 30. The response was encouraging and I think that we are going to do well."
Winter can be harsh, but the support from fans willing to take time out and donate a coat to someone who may need it, goes a long way in showing the dedication, gratitude and warmth all of us have towards the greater Chester community.
Have questions on how you can get involved? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Soccer Hall of Fame, as part of its mission to "Build the Future," is continuing its successful "Coats for Chester Program" for the fifth straight year. The city of Chester, PA is the site of a lot of excitement in the Philadelphia area by playing host to our Major League Soccer team, Philadelphia Union. At the same time however, Chester holds the distinction of being the poorest city in Pennsylvania.
The SEPA Hall of Fame is committed to do its part to mobilize the soccer community in helping the needy people of Chester. We will be collecting coats throughout the Southeastern Pennsylvania area. Collected coats will then be distributed in Chester to: The Bernardine Center Food Bank, St. Katharine Drexel Food Cupboard and City Team Ministries Homeless Shelter. In the first four years of our collection program, we have collected and distributed 4,860 coats.
For two months this fall, from October 1, 2014 to November 31, 2014 we will be collecting donated winter coats from throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, and distributing them to needy families in Chester. Members of the SEPA Soccer Hall of Fame, along with volunteers from various soccer organizations, will be handling the collecting and distributing of the coats.
Shortly we will be posting on our website a list of organizations that will be collecting coats along with the various drop-off locations. If you would like to participate in our "Coats for Chester" program please contact us with an email sent to email@example.com.
- When: October 11th or 18th match

It was only thirty minutes, but to these young athletes it was a moment that will last a lifetime.
In the first ever "Unified Match," a Special Olympics soccer match was held between Special Olympics (Pa.) and a collective that represented Special Olympics (D.C.) following the Sept. 27 match between the Union and bitter rival D.C. United.
Both Special Olympics teams also doubly represented their respective club teams, so when the two sides took to the field at RFK Stadium, it was the first game in what could soon become a rivalry itself.
In this one, it was the Union that celebrated a 2-1 comeback victory over United in a match that is the first of what has the makings of becoming an annual classic. In fact, plans are already in place to have PPL Park as the host turf for the second installment next season.
"This was beyond anything that I can imagine for these kids," said Nastassja Falterbauer, a special education teacher at Martin Luther King High School, who acted as head coach. "They are so excited, I am beyond proud of them and so excited that their hard work paid off and they are going home as winners. For the Union and D.C. United to give these kids a chance to experience this I know is something they'll talk about for years."
Falterbauer's sentiments were echoed by Special Olympics (Pa.) athlete Herbie Rider, who scored the game winner to ensure the Union would seize the inaugural victory.
"It feels good, really great, Rider said. "I am happy that we did this…I will remember this moment every day. This was the best."

Just another one of the many ways the Philadelphia Union Foundation strives to enrich its surrounding community and grow its footprint in the Greater Philadelphia region.
"The relationship that has been developed these past six months between MLS Works, Special Olympics (D.C.), Special Olympics (Pa.), D.C. United and Philadelphia Union has truly been a lesson in camaraderie and single mindedness of purpose," Rick Jacobs, executive director of the Philadelphia Union Foundation, said.

"The opportunity of a lifetime."
That's how Philadelphia School District special education teacher Nastassja Falterbauer described Saturday's Special Olympics Unified Soccer match at RFK Stadium for students at Martin Luther King High School.
Thanks to a partnership between Philadelphia Union, D.C. United and the Special Olympics organization, a 5v5 soccer match between Special Olympics Pennsylvania and Special Olympics District of Columbia will take place immediately following the Union-United match. The two teams will be honored at halftime and then are scheduled to kickoff around 6:15 p.m.
In total, 11 players will make the early-morning road trip to Washington, D.C. The 5v5 match consists of two 15-minute halves. Falterbauer said she hopes the two teams can play again next year at PPL Park, allowing the D.C. players to also have the opportunity to play at another stadium outside of their home city.
"It's a really great experience for the players," said Falterbauer, who also serves as team coach. "Opportunities like this don't present themselves often. It's great to be able to go to another city and play against other players."
Falterbauer and her players received the opportunity by winning the Philadelphia Regional district championship. The team was honored at PPL Park at halftime when the Union hosted the Houston Dynamo, Saturday, Sept. 20. But for many of them, all aged 17 or 18, taking in the action was their first MLS experience.
"The kids were elated," she said. "They had never experienced anything like that – to be able watch them play, be down on the field… they were just in awe of everything.
But now, for a chance to share the same pitch as Union players?
"That excitement of [watching the Union play] is great," she continued. "But to be able to play at the same stadium is even more incredible. It's all they talk about."
This is the first year of the Unified Soccer program within Special Olympics. So it's a new experience for everyone, not just Falterbauer and the players. And that experience has been just as important for the Philadelphia Union.
"The relationship that has been developed these past six months between MLS Works, Special Olympics DC, Special Olympics PA, DC United and Philadelphia Union has truly been a lesson in camaraderie and single mindedness of purpose," Rick Jacobs, executive director of the Philadelphia Union Foundation, said.
"That purpose has been to provide an opportunity for young people to share in a common goal while using the game of soccer as a conduit to reinforce all that is good about sport," Jacobs continued. "We are proud to participate in this inaugural unified match. We are excited because the authentic experience coupled with the inclusive nature of the participants, speaks to who we strive to be each and every day at Philadelphia Union."
Added Falterbauer:
"The Union and MLS have gone above and beyond what we expected them to do. From supplying uniforms and equipment, they've really given these players an unbelievable experience. We hope we can make the partnership grow from year to year."

As regulators clamp down on securitised products, leveraged investors are racing to new markets. JP Morgan analysts say the crisis might be shifting leverage from structured products to emerging markets.Collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) have been at the centre of the current credit crisis, with the leverage in some of these products being pinpointed as the catalyst in the unravelling of the credit markets. Regulators have already started closing in institutions involved in the securitisation of debt, with the Financial Stability Forum (FSF) announcing that capital reserve requirements on securitised products should be raised.
As CDOs lose their lustre, leverage has moved on - and might have found its new home in the emerging markets.
"It is quite likely that, as one boom bursts under the weight of leverage, risk capital moves to the asset class where the memory of the last blow-up has receded the most," said two JP Morgan analysts, Jan Loeys and Margaret Cannella, in a note released earlier this month. The last time there was a major bust in emerging markets investments was in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when there was broad-based default on bank loans to emerging sovereigns. "One might think it is the time for emerging markets to produce the next boom-bust cycle."
Market participants confirm the emerging markets boom. "In the past few years emerging markets have seen a remarkable growth in assets under management," said Alia Yousuf, the head of emerging markets at Standard Asset Management in London. But she admits the size of the market relative to other assets is small.
Phil Poole, the emerging markets chief economist at HSBC in London, agrees. "What has also happened is that there has been a portfolio reallocation, where we see money coming out of developed markets institutional investors, and it is not just leverage. We have seen Japanese investors, retail and institutional, diversify and emerging markets have been some of the beneficiaries of that," he said.
Emerging markets experienced a record $780 billion fund net private capital inflow last year, a 37.3 % increase from $568 billion in 2006, according to figures released by the Washington DC–based Institute of International Finance (IIF). The largest beneficiaries of this inflow were emerging Europe ($365.2 billion) and emerging Asia ($249.8 billion).
In 2008 the boom has slowed. The emerging markets have not been immune to the US subprime-related difficulties. "Risk appetite has clearly dropped following the problems in the credit markets in the west. We are moving from a situation where everything was going right for the emerging markets to where investors are getting all cautious," said Julian Jessop, the chief international economist at London macroeconomics consultancy Capital Economics.
But, he said, despite this, these markets have held up well. IIF forecasts a drop of only 6.28% in net fund inflows into the markets in 2008, which is a small amount compared with the 90% drop in CDO new issuance from $165 billion in the first quarter of last year to a meagre $16.7 billion in the comparable period this year.
With such a high level of interest, some fear that the level of leverage could spiral out of control, and quickly bring on another bust. Booms usually start with strong positive fundamentals that are taken to their extreme through momentum and leverage.
Some believe the level of leverage might already be at increased levels. "I don't think it is fair to say that it is about to happen - I think it would be fair to say that in a sense it has already happened," said Poole. "There has already been a lot of leveraged money that has been inside emerging markets- in carry trade and currencies and some of the credit and equity markets as well – so part of it has already been driven up by leverage,"
However, Loeys and Cannella argue leverage levels and asset prices are still too low to suggest a crisis: "The signs of an imminent emerging market crisis are not in place," they said.
Jessop agrees. "I doubt that emerging markets are going to reach the high levels of leverage that structured products had reached," he said. "I think people have learnt their lessons. Certainly among the banks there will be no appetite for taking on the level of risks they have done in credit markets."
The IIF estimates that, of the total fund inflows into these markets in 2008, only 27.8% is expected to come from commercial banks. "Maybe some hedge funds might not feel so constrained. But then hedge funds are always looking for new areas to lose money," Jessop said.
Even if emerging markets are spared, Loeys and Cannella concluded, the next bubble is inevitable: "The history of the past 30 years of liberalised capital markets does show that we eventually do again commit the sins of leverage and overconfidence and produce the next boom-bust cycle".

"Pros:Soft, comfy fabricGood everyday use for summerVersatile: I wear them with casual or semi-casual attire (dresses, pants, shorts)Simple and chicCons:No traction on solesBeige insole shows dirt quickly: After about 20 uses, I regret that these shoes display dirty footprints :oP A darker color of insole might hide this betterInsole also very slippery when wet (I don't recommend using at the pool, spa or beach)No arch support: Even with my flat feet, a very little arch support would be niceAwkward to put onNot long lastingBased on the wear that these sandals have shown after about 20 uses (and not a lot of walking), I believe I will have to replace them in a couple months--quicker than most other shoes I've owned--simply because of the insole quality (feels like cheap plastic). The fabric is a winner, and the entire reason I bought the shoes. I think these shoes weren't built to last and at this price ($34) I think I can find something better. I would not buy these again unless the sole and insole quality improved."

"I have three pears of the Dirty Laundry Beka sandals and will continue to buy more and more! They're extremely comfy and the stretchy fabric is awesome! The only thing to note is that the string that keeps the cross fabric in place can be a bit tight but is easily snipped for maximum comfort!"

I was updating my Graphite to WM6 and the installer on my PC crashed. The phone still displays "System is updating" and I am scared to touch it incase I break it completely. I think it is a windows problem due to the fact that the installer crashed when I had a notification that my "ASUS Jupiter device had been installed". Any suggestions?

Silloth set for Trafford MV test in Senior Vase
Published at 12:18, Friday, 30 November 2012
Silloth take centre stage in Cumbria this weekend with a home tie in the Senior Vase national competition.
At the Jim Brough Rugby Park, the Tigers host Trafford MV and will play their second pool game on February 2 at Dukinfield, leaving Trafford to host Dukinfield on February 23.
Teams in the other northern pool involved in the Senior Vase are Winlaton Vulcans, Blyth and Selby. The two group winners will then meet in the quarter final.
Silloth were denied a warm-up game on Saturday when Kirkby Lonsdale A declined to travel but at the players' request they held an extra training session to prepare for the visit of Trafford.
Coach Mark Orchard said: "That was great, what I was pleased to hear as coach and there's no doubt that we are taking this competition very seriously.
Tomorrow's opponents Trafford MV currently lie fifth in North Lancs Division One with five wins and four defeats so far. They won 21-7 at bottom club Bury last week-end.
Dukinfield, the third team in the pool, are lying third in South Lancs/Cheshire Division Two.
The disappointment for Silloth when Kirkby Lonsdale declined to travel are compounded by the news that they are unlikely to fulfil the fixture.
Teams above the Cumbria League and Cumbria League 2 are not involved in League action this week-end, although the North Lancs Cumbria pair of Upper Eden and Eccles meet in the Intermediate Cup at Kirkby Stephen.
In the Cumbria League, Netherhall travel to Millom.

Florida Legislative Special Session
The recent Florida legislative session came to a rocky end a few weeks ago, under what the Florida Supreme Court ruled was a violation of the state constitution. According to their ruling, the House broke the law when they ended the session three days early, due to an impasse with the Senate over healthcare funding. On Thursday, the federal government indicated the state should expect major reductions in the coming years to help pay for uncompensated care (LIP) and needs to reform its hospital payment system, saying the state may need to justify almost $1 billion in government funding. Now that a special session is set to begin on June 1st, how will this and other issues finally be resolved in order to balance the state budget?

What I am trying to get at here is that 3d sound in games is complex. The X-fi is more then just an upgrade for your on boards DAC, it actually has a dsp to offload the 3d sound modeling from the cpu. This can be a pretty heafty process in todays games. If you are simply telling windows to use your video card as a sound source then I fear all the sound modeling is being done on the cpu thus cutting into your performance.
There're fewer games using DirectSound3D with the EAX extensions. Newer games use XAudio (the Xbox 360 sound system on Windows).
While XAudio does use slightly more CPU and the 3D reverb isn't as nice, it sounds* the same on all hardware be it onboard or even an X-Fi and makes it easier to port 360 games/develop cross platform as the audio API is exactly the same. The Windows X-Audio system will encode game audio into surround even on the ****tiest onboard audio solution. It also makes the user experience consistent for all users irrespective of sound card manufacturer.
There're fewer and fewer games which use DirectSound3D or OpenAL. Creative effectively killed their market by being the only hardware 3D vendor on the market and charging premium prices for their hardware.
I have two X-fi cards gathering dust, a PCI X-fi Extreme Music from 2005 and a brand spanking new X-Fi Fatality Titanium Pro. Both have serious issues on Windows 7 (I have 8 GB of RAM and Creative's drivers have issues on systems with more than 4 GB of RAM (even x86-64 based systems). Driver updates are few and far between and they're barely functional. I had the audio cut out on me during cutscenes with the X-Fi in Mass Effect 2. Onboard Realtek audio just works though they have no virtual headphone surround effects at all unlike the X-Fi.
*The positional audio and reverb effects are exactly the same on any card. Actually DAC quality will make things different.

It's not exactly what I hoped for, but it is what I feared. I hoped for a liner that covered the entire area behind the front seats with rear seats folded down. What I got was a liner that fit only the area behind the rear seats. The images for the product were ambiguous. But the liner fits snugly and very well, appears to be rugged, will protect the carpet in the small cargo area from any spilled gunk. This is a product of good quality, but make sure you know what you are getting.

Here fishy fishy fishy....
i sometimes can get bored easily. I love new adventures and doing things differently. Talking is a favorite pass times of mine as well, but not about me as much as I want to talk about you. I love to laugh, I'm sarcastic, and stubborn. Independent and yet I won't turn my back on help. I love to be surprised but pretend not to like it. Suspense kills me, I am impatient but also know the importance of waiting for some things. I have a huge heart and forever put people before myself. I'm originally from the Chicago area, so I may sound like a country girl, but don't let it fool you, I'm a city girl at heart. I am looking for a man with goals and ambitions. Someone that has a bright future but at the same time will realize that down the road family should come first. I would like someone that can multi-task, and I mean that they can be a career man, boyfriend/husband, father, son, student (if it applies) all at the same time. I want a man that has goals, dreams and ideas and I'm hoping his future plans include a family of his own. I want a man that doesn't think marriage is a waste. Someone that tells me how it is, that can take a joke and joke back. Someone that isn't afraid of a girl close to her family and that has a strong family background himself. I take my job as a mother seriously. My 5 year old boy amazes me, everyday his personality comes out more and more and I'm so lucky to be the mother of a funny, smart, sarcastic, handsome, country boy. Even though the circumstances weren't perfect, he is the best thing I've ever done. Also, I don't plan on bring my son into a relationship until something serious has already been established.

(AP) An Ohio firefighter has been given a six-month suspension from his role in a pipe and drum band because he nodded to President Barack Obama during last week's inaugural parade in Washington.
Video shows Drum Major John Coleman giving the nod along with a fleeting wave as the Cleveland Firefighter's Memorial Pipes & Drums marched past the president.
The band leader, Pipe Major Mike Engle, said the firefighter from Cleveland Heights violated the proper decorum required in a military parade. He said members were warned not to make such gestures during the parade.
Coleman says Obama smiled and waved, and that he was just acknowledging the president.
