Hard Times May Boost Linux in Financial Services
Today Linux is the go-to operating system for high performance computing, while it continues to extend its footprint in the broader IT community. In the financial services arena, in particular, Linux is being seen as a critical technology for increasing ROI.
On Monday, at the High Performance Linux on Wall Street conference in New York, Inna Kuznetsova, director of IBM's Linux Strategy, led a panel that discussed how Linux can be used to reduce costs and improve performance in these economically challenging times. We recently got the opportunity to ask Kuznetsova about the increasing profile of Linux for IBM customers and how the technology is enabling them to realize cost savings.
HPCwire: How have your clients IT priorities changed during this economic downturn?
Inna Kuznetsova: The priorities have certainly changed. First, we see our clients much more focused on the whole aspect of the total cost of ownership reduction. The financial crisis is putting a new lens on TCO claims. Companies prioritize projects with a clear ROI and predictable time to savings. The focus switches from enhancing functionality to cost reduction. Second, the expense control calls for higher accountability. Stimulus packages in different countries include funding for IT infrastructure but it comes with an increased scrutiny. To spend taxpayers' money in a prudent way, reducing up front costs becomes increasingly important. Third, as we know from the experience of the previous recessions, companies often have to merge to withstand tough conditions — and that brings the issue of consolidating IT infrastructure. Being able to merge IT systems fast and keeping costs under control becomes vital for success.
HPCwire: How does Linux help address those new priorities?
Kuznetsova: Linux has unique attributes that help to improve savings. You cannot only reduce the costs with often lower rates but also eliminate CALs to avoid uprgrade penalties. Paying for a subscription instead of a license provides for a higher degree of flexibility should the customer decide to reduce resources, as often happens during an economic downturn. Standardizing on Linux reduces the number of skilled resources needed to manage multiple environments — and at the same time, a customer can select the best hardware platform for a particular workload. Also, during mergers, Linux, because it runs on the broadest set of hardware platforms, often becomes the "common denominator," providing for a streamlined integration.
Consolidation on larger servers is one of the best ways to reduce energy consumption, office space and systems management costs, and many of our customers consolidate these days on Power Systems or mainframes running Linux. IDC recently published a study based on applying quantitative measures to such consolidation and quoted an average ROI in less than seven months and the reduction of TCO by 50 percent. Many of our financial customers follow this route — for example, the Bank of New Zealand consolidated its front office, Internet banking and tellers system on an IBM System z mainframe running Linux. It has reported a decrease in energy consumption close to 40 percent, 33 percent reduction in heat output and a need for only one administrator per 200 virtual servers.
Last but not least, customers can achieve great savings by leveraging Linux desktop in a traditional or virtual implementation. IBM offers an open-standards-based alternative to Microsoft Office, called Open Collaboration Client Solution (OCCS). It is a package of office productivity tools, including email, messaging and social collaboration software, that can work in a heterogeneous environment, with some users working on Linux and some on Windows. Users save 500-700 dollars per workspace when switching to Linux with IBM OCCS, and they can keep users on different systems collaborating with each other, using the same team rooms and tools. There are further savings associated with the virtual Linux desktop, launched last December, which can be deployed from any x86 server and provides additional savings in energy consumption, reduced need for workstation upgrades, memory, and system administration.
HPCwire: Are there instances where a proprietary OS is preferable?
Kuznetsova: There is no "one size fits all" approach in the selection of an operating system — many factors come into play. The customers have to consider what workloads and what applications they are running, what skills they have in house, what are their requirements to the reliability, availability, security, level of service, costs and resources for system administration.
An application migration is a costly process and may not be justified by savings. Furthermore, many workloads and applications may be designed in such a way that they use possible benefits that come from the combination of an operating system and hardware designed by the same vendor. Such combinations will always be better optimized for a particular platform while Linux is better optimized across vendors and platforms just by the nature of its development process.
HPCwire: In the financial services industry specifically, what is driving Linux adoption?
Kuznetsova: The financial services industry leads Linux adoption today — with the majority of our customers running the front-end operations on it and many exploring the opportunities that Linux offers for the back office. Last year I hosted a panel at the Linux on Wall Street event where we had a very interesting discussion about the use of Real Time for latency reduction and fast trade execution.
Our customers increasingly leverage Linux to select the best hardware platform for each workload. Thus, Mizuho Securities uses IBM BladeCenter with Cell broadband Engine processor to run its Exotic Derivatives Trading system. Cell has superb computational capabilities that are well suited to accelerating financial modeling calculations.
A lot of our customers consolidate operations on IBM System z running Linux, leveraging the high level of reliability, availability and security, as well as the low cost of system administration provided by mainframes. For example, the Bank of Russia went from 74 datacenters to a consolidated system on four IBM System z mainframes running Linux, reducing the per-transaction cost by 95 percent, which resulted in $400 million savings.
Other customers increasingly use Linux on System x for fast server provisioning at minimal cost. Antony Golia from Morgan Stanley will join me on stage at the Linux on Wall Street event to talk about their experience.
HPCwire: For HPC applications in particular, performance and the broader concept of productivity are the critical issues. How does Linux meet these needs?
Kuznetsova: Linux offers exceptional performance and productivity for HPC. It is enough to mention that over 80 percent of TOP500 supercomputers today are powered by Linux, including the Los Alamos system called Roadrunner – an IBM BladeCenter QS22 cluster — that tops the list. At IBM we invest in supporting Linux as a tier one system on all our server platforms. It is much more than just ensuring that Linux can run on a server — it means performing additional development, tuning and testing work to provide for a high level of reliability, availability and security (RAS). Some vendors claim that Linux is not yet ready for prime-time. Linux on IBM platforms supports business-critical operations with a highest level of RAS requirements today.
HPCwire: If Linux had never been developed, what would the landscape look like for your clients today?
Kuznetsova: Last December we celebrated the 10th anniversary of IBM's committment to Linux. During this time we became one of the largest users of Linux — from running it on over 25,000 employee desktops to consolidating 3,900 servers in our IT infrastructure using Linux on mainframes. We became one of the largest contributors to the Linux community, being the third largest provider of changes to the Linux kernel over the last three years, having several hundred developers employed in the Linux Technology Center and participating in over one hundred open source projects. And we became one of the largest providers of Linux solutions — Linux is supported as a tier one system on all IBM server plaforms and we have over 500 software products for Linux in the market. It is difficult to imagine a different course of history and I would like to believe that there would have been a different project leveraging the intellectual power of a broad community to develop a system optimized for all hardware platforms and offering customers an open standards alternative today.

Hyderabad, Telangana region hit by bandh
Hyderabad: Normal life was affected across Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday as the bandh called by Telangana Joint Action Committee in support of a separate state began this morning.
The bandh call had its impact since last night as the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) and railways suspended their services.
The APSRTC suspended over 9000 buses plying in Telangana region and those going towards Vijayawada. Thousands of city buses in Hyderabad were cancelled due to which passengers had a tough time reaching their destinations. Many of them were stranded at various places.
Private vehicles and auto drivers had a field day in Hyderabad and other places as commuters had no other option except paying the high fare demanded by them.
Heavy police force has been deployed across the region to avoid any untoward incident. Prohibitory orders under section 144 have been clamped in Hyderabad and other places.
The JAC, comprising Congress, Telugu Desam, BJP and TRS and number of Telangana outfits, would meet in the evening to chalk out their future course of action on the Telangana issue.

Near Infrared Imaging of EGFR of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Mice Administered Arsenic Trioxide
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of near-infrared imaging (NIR) interrogation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression as a sensitive biomarker of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) response to arsenic trioxide therapy was studied in mice.
A431 OSCC in vitro were exposed to 0 µM, 0.5 µM, 2.5 µM, or 5 µM of As(2)O(3) for 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry confirmed EGFR expression and demonstrated a sensitivity dose-related signal decline with As(2)O(3) treatment. Next, mice with pharynx-implanted A431 cells received As(2)O(3) i.p. every 48 h at 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, or 5 mg/kg/day (n = 6/group) from day 0 to 10. An intravenous NIR probe, EGF-Cy5.5, was injected at baseline and on days 4, 8, and 12 for dynamic NIR imaging. Tumor volume and body weights were measured three times weekly.
In vitro, A431 EGFR expression was well appreciated in the controls and decreased (p<0.05) with increasing As(2)O(3) dose and treatment duration. In vivo EGFR NIR tumor signal intensity decreased (p<0.05) in As(2)O(3) treated groups versus controls from days 4 to 12, consistent with increasing dosage. Tumor volume diminished in a dose-related manner while body weight was unaffected. Immunohistochemical staining of excised tumors confirmed that EGFR expression was reduced by As(2)O(3) treatment in a dose responsive pattern.
This study demonstrates for the first time that OSCC can be interrogated in vivo by NIR molecular imaging of the EGFR and that this biomarker is effective for the longitudinal assessment of OSCC response to As(2)O(3) treatment.

ABSTRACT: Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is an attractive modality for early cancer detection with high sensitivity and multi-detection capability. Due to convenient modification by conjugating with moieties of interests, NIRF probes are ideal candidates for cancer targeted imaging. Additionally, the combinatory application of NIRF imaging and other imaging modalities that can delineate anatomical structures extends fluorometric determination of biomedical information. Moreover, nanoparticles loaded with NIRF dyes and anticancer agents contribute to the synergistic management of cancer, which integrates the advantage of imaging and therapeutic functions to achieve the ultimate goal of simultaneous diagnosis and treatment. Appropriate probe design with targeting moieties can retain the original properties of NIRF and pharmacokinetics. In recent years, great efforts have been made to develop new NIRF probes with better photostability and strong fluorescence emission, leading to the discovery of numerous novel NIRF probes with fine photophysical properties. Some of these probes exhibit tumoricidal activities upon light radiation, which holds great promise in photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and photoimmunotherapy. This review aims to provide a timely and concise update on emerging NIRF dyes and multifunctional agents. Their potential uses as agents for cancer specific imaging, lymph node mapping, and therapeutics are included. Recent advances of NIRF dyes in clinical use are also summarized.International Journal of Nanomedicine 03/2014; 9:1347-1365. DOI:10.2147/IJN.S60206 · 4.20 Impact Factor
Article: Combined arsenic trioxide-cisplatin treatment enhances apoptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for the majority of oral cancers. Despite recent advances in OSCC diagnostics and therapeutics, the overall survival rate still remains low. Here, we assessed the efficacy of a combinatorial arsenic trioxide (ATO) and cisplatin (CDDP) treatment in human OSCC cells. The combinatorial effect of ATO/CDDP on the growth and apoptosis of OSCC cell lines HSC-2, HSC-3, and HSC-4 was evaluated using MTT and annexin V assays, respectively. Chou-Talalay analyses were preformed to evaluate the combinatorial effects of ATO/CDDP on the dose-reduction index (DRI). To clarify the mechanism underlying the ATO/CDDP anticancer effect, we also examined the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ATO/CDDP-induced apoptosis. Combination index (CI) analyses revealed that a synergistic interaction of ATO and CDDP elicits a wide range of effects in HSC-2 cells, with CI values ranging from 0.78 to 0.90, where CI < 1 defines synergism. The CI values in HSC-3 and HSC-4 cells ranged from 0.34 to 0.45 and from 0.60 to 0.92, respectively. In addition, ATO/CDDP yielded favorable DRI values ranging from 1.6-fold to 7.71-fold dose reduction. Compared to mono-therapy, ATO/CDDP combinatorial therapy significantly augmented the loss of mitochondrial potential, caspase-3/7 activity and subsequent apoptosis. These changes were all abrogated by the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine. This study provides the first evidence for a synergistic ATO/CDDP anticancer (apoptotic) activity in OSCC cells with a favorable DRI, thereby highlighting its potential as a combinational therapeutic regime in OSCC.03/2014; DOI:10.1007/s13402-014-0167-7
Article: Increased Growth-Inhibitory and Cytotoxic Activity of Arsenic Trioxide in Head and Neck Carcinoma Cells with Functional p53 Deficiency and Resistance to EGFR Blockade[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose Mutations in the p53 gene are frequently observed in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region (SCCHN) and have been associated with drug resistance. The potential of arsenic trioxide (ATO) for treatment of p53-deficient tumor cells and those with acquired resistance to cisplatin and cetuximab was determined. Material and Methods In a panel of 10 SCCHN cell lines expressing either wildtype p53, mutated p53 or which lacked p53 by deletion the interference of p53 deficiency with the growth-inhibitory and radiosensitizing potential of ATO was determined. The causal relationship between p53 deficiency and ATO sensitivity was evaluated by reconstitution of wildtype p53 in p53-deficient SCCHN cells. Interference of ATO treatment with cell cycle, DNA repair and apoptosis and its efficacy in cells with acquired resistance to cisplatin and cetuximab was evaluated. Results Functional rather than structural defects in the p53 gene predisposed tumor cells to increased sensitivity to ATO. Reconstitution of wt p53 in p53-deficient SCCHN cells rendered them less sensitive to ATO treatment. Combination of ATO with irradiation inhibited clonogenic growth in an additive manner. The inhibitory effect of ATO in p53-deficient tumor cells was mainly associated with DNA damage, G2/M arrest, upregulation of TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) receptors and apoptosis. Increased activity of ATO was observed in cetuximab-resistant SCCHN cells whereas cisplatin resistance was associated with cross-resistance to ATO. Conclusions Addition of ATO to treatment regimens for p53-deficient SCCHN and tumor recurrence after cetuximab-containing regimens might represent an attractive strategy in SCCHN.PLoS ONE 06/2014; 9(6):e98867.

A Dunedin man accused of smuggling drugs into New Zealand has been remanded in the Dunedin District Court this morning.
The 21-year-old, whose name is suppressed, entered no plea. He faces charges of importing controlled drugs LSD and MDMA to New Zealand and of possession of a psychoactive substance with intent to supply.
The man is also facing charges of possession of the controlled drug, Ritalin, for supply, and possession of cannabis for supply, and selling cannabis.
The alleged offending took place between January and August this year.
The man's lawyer, Garth Cameron, requested the remand for his client because the charges were serious. His client was in custody by consent, he said.
Judge Dominic Flatley remanded the man until September 9.

Genghis Tron
In addition to having possibly the coolest moniker ever conceived, Genghis Tron is blessed with a genuinely idiosyncratic electro-metal sound. Fusing the synth-driven sensibilities of electro with metal's brutal crunch has led most acts toward the late, largely unlamented genre of industrial, but that's not the case here. Starting with a foundation of the prog- and hardcore-inflected thrash of bands such as Mastodon, Genghis Tron injects electronic beats, textures and effects to craft a powerful, intense sound that never devolves into the cheesefest histrionics that plague most industrial acts (Nine Inch Nails, I'm looking at you). With so much technology easily available to musicians, it was just a matter of time before someone managed to effectively integrate the otherworldly sounds and mechanistic thrust of electronic music with the primal power of thrash. Now that Genghis Tron has paved the way, prepare for the future onslaught of robo-thrash.

Flier of the Week: Roll Acosta
See also: Roll Acosta Teams With John Vanderslice For This Dreamt Existence
We're diggin' the simple elegance of the rolling tape on this Roll Acosta flier...See what they did there?
Like we're digging the simplicity of this flier, we're digging the band's new record, This Dreamt Existence (we described the album as falling "somewhere between fun.'s acrobatic melodies and Cold War Kids' strained funk"). The band will be drawing from their cache of catchy tunes for this weekend's show.
"We're ecstatic to have our freshly groomed package on display for the world to see," Jacob Acosta jokes.
The Madera Strand and Sun Ghost will also be gigging with the guys that night.
Don't miss the show on Friday, June 22, at Yucca Tap Room.

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
Investors with a proclivity for excitement might want to climb aboard the silver roller coaster. It promises to remain an unpredictable ride.
That's the view of Philip Klapwijk, global head of metals analytics for Thomson Reuters GFMS, and an author of the Silver Institute's 2012 world silver survey. Although Klapwijk isn't expecting the extreme price swings of last year, when silver's prices swung between $26.76 and $48.55 an ounce, he does see continued volatility.
"The ebb and flow of investor demand can really drive prices," Klapwijk says. Indeed, physical silver-bar investment jumped 67% in 2011 from 2010, to 95.7 million ounces. An eye-popping 11 million ounces of that went to private investors in China, Klapwijk says.
Coin Crazy: A Silver Institute survey found brisk demand for silver bullion among private investors in China. William Waitzman for Barron's
U.S. investors certainly did their share of buying. The fabrication of coins and medals, driven by sales of American silver-eagle bullion coins, grew 19% last year, to a record 118.2 million ounces. Including coins and exchange-traded funds, total global investment demand rose to a net $10 billion.
All this helped push the metal's average price to $35.12 an ounce last year, more than double the 2009 average.
This year, investor purchases of bars and coins haven't kept pace, with first-quarter demand "off quite considerably," Klapwijk says. But investors have taken more of a shine to silver ETFs, buying the equivalent of a little less than 14 million ounces through them in the first quarter, more than half the total for all of 2011. Concern about European banks and the like could keep demand hot.

"Utterly cursed is every person who fails to carry out every detail written in the Book of the law." Galatians 3:9
As a kid my mother warned me and my brothers not to use "curse" words. As an adult, I understand cursing, such as saying "Damn you!", is different than using other expletives, such as _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _. Freedictionary.com defines "Damn you" to mean "To condemn to everlasting punishment or another terrible fate in the afterlife… such as being damned to live out his life in poverty."
Therefore, to be damned by God means the relationship has been broken and your soul will not have eternal life. As a warning, Paul tells the Galatians that the ones who ignore God's laws and make up their own are doomed to failure. But he doesn't say there is no way to turn failure into triumph. We do this when we pray, such as the Lord's Prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses."
I wouldn't think of cursing someone. However, I didn't realize how often I used "damn it" until one day when I heard my two-year old son saying, "Damn it," while trying to build a tower with his blocks. Fortunately, toy blocks do not have a soul.
Dear God, remind us that you alone have the authority to damn those who do not live by your laws. Amen.

Thanks for answering my Crunchyroll question, guys. Sounds like the prospect for DVD licenses of those shows is pretty bleak, eh? We'll probably miss out on some good stuff, but I guess it's not worth the financial losses to our already-suffering R1 companies...
Most of it seems to be crap, though.

Justin: You can have pizza in L.A. It's just that Tomato Pie now charges by the whole instead of the slice. [But if you do buy it there, try the "Mr. White" pie.] Or you could cheap it out by goin' to Little Caesar's. As for the hookers, I think Zac's just not impressed, 'cus he doesn't get that, unlike L.A., there's a greater chance the NYC call-girls will be natural women. Still surprised that Justin can distinguish the types, though. As for One Missed Call, I didn't know they financed it. I thought they just sold the rights. Anyway, the original Miike movie's not much better.
BTW, the theater is Laemmle Sunset 5. I'm just surprised 1.0 underwhelmed this badly, given that it has a more MPAA-friendly rating, and given that the current generation of anime fans should be more likely to see it than Ponyo. OTOH, if what you're saying is true about Gainax wanting it to go theatrical, maybe it should've been done simultaneously before people started bootlegging it.
As for CR, I could swear it was the Japanese companies which wanted their stuff on there to gauge demand and avoid bootlegging. I don't get how Discotek handling FOTNS on dvd works, though. Does it split profits w/ FUNi?
Zac: More importantly, how does Saiunkoku compare to Haruka? And yeah, I think an LA Eva would work, FX-wise, but marketing-wise, I imagine a live-action Bokurano might have more appeal.
CJ: I don't necessarily think ADV was lying. They just lost control of many titles and assets, but I do believe they full intended to releae that shit uncut. I didn't think UV was lying about having Berserk before MB swiped it from them. And to be fair about ADV, your employers at EGM weren't honest about why they fired that Kane & Lynch reviewer, either....
Worst anime-based game for me is the NES Fist.

I wish Rebuild of Evangelion would play in my town. Or, you know, anywhere near it. Eh, I'll end up getting it on DVD, anyway.
I read a little Newtype. To me, it seemed little more than a mouthpiece for ADV. But I always get in trouble for saying that. Maybe I didn't read enough.
Gamers are part of a much sadder culture than anime otaku, in my opinion.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I love DVDs. I love them. I love collecting them. I love putting them into DVD players. I like having them play on my big screen TV, turning the lights down as I watch with a snack. (This is turning into that Hellsing speech- "Gentleman, I like DVDs. Gentlemen, I LOVE DVDs.")

Video gamers, the hardcore ones at least, are smug and self-aggrandizing, as if playing a video game is like a sport or some great skill useful to society. If you play against a seasoned gamer, you had better be at least as good as they are, or they'll treat you like garbage.
The gamer rooms at anime conventions are full of hardcore gamers who never shower because they want to save their place in front of their game. Gamer rooms smell like gerbil cages. They try to get you thrown out of the room, or they laugh when you want to play a game and you aren't some super gamer. Video gamers are the plague of anime cons.
I've been laughed out of arcades for not being great at Marvel vs Capcom. The arcade owner actually threw me out for not being good enough.
Most of the gamers I've known are scum. They think they're actually doing something beneficial for society. They're not. They're playing video games. They're delusional.

Oh man, the answer to the Crunchyroll question was disappointing. So I take it I'll never see Natsume Yuujinchou & sequel on DVD? I was sort of holding out hope that eventually it'd end up as a bare-bones, sub-only release at the very least. This revelation makes me very, very sad.
Other than crushing my spirit a bit, it was a very interesting podcast as usual.

Well, another good episode of ANNCast. I have to say that I have been really enjoying this podcast. I've tried to listen to others in the past, and while some were good, most of the time they talked about topics that I had no interest for (like an entire show about Naruto or some random manga volume that I hadn't heard of before, etc). But you guys tend to keep it diverse, which ensures that theres a little bit of something for everyone. So keep up the good work.
And Zac, I heard your contribution to the Anime 3000 Panel podcast, the Directors Not Named Miyazaki. I really liked that episode a lot, and was wondering if in the future you may do your own "themed" episode, talking about one topic with a few guests? (ps... I had totally forgotten how great the Paprika opening is. Thanks for reminding me.)

Haven't you ever heard the saying there is no hierarchy amongst nerds? You can find hardcore anime fans with those same attributes. But lets all agree that fans of Magic the Gathering are the weirdest.
On to topic, another great podcast many laughs in it. And while I agree that the amount of otaku anime is ridiculously high I think there are still many shows that offer people something much more than the big eyed loli girls anime. So far this year has been good to me. Shows like Tokyo Magnitude8.0, Rideback, Canaan and Spice & Wolf 2 all offered something diffident, and were all great titles in my mind. But the fall season is looking kind of bleak, unless I'm surprised.
And it was great to hear a voice from New-type. That was my favorite magazines, it had everything from anime to music and games. And I still have every issue from June 2002 on. The free DVD they provided lead me to discovering and buying many titles I would have passed on. I know I would have passed on Kino's Journey, Moonphase, Elfen Lied and Gilgamesh had I not seen a preview first. And now those are all shows I love.

Funny crack at our localization.
Thanks for making the show available through direct download. I I listen on the go. The police siren in the background was haunting.
It's funny but I agree that in my own experiences in which anime gets a movie preview, the audience will either groan or make some sort of comment. Bastards.

At least it's not a body pillow with a picture of a naked 12 year old on it. I don't especially see the point in looking at the absolute worst of the worst. They don't represent the majority. If that's what you want to do though I don't see how you can deny that Japanese otaku are the worst.

|I guess this question is sort of a follow-up on the Crunchyroll one that's been asked. So anime that gets streamed or simulcasted in Crunchyroll have really little to no chance of getting a DVD release from the usual R1 companies?

Druaga was an anime shown on Crunchyroll and was later liscenced by Funimation but that's the only example I can think of. Plus it was one of the very first legal streams on CR so I guess that one doesn't adhere to the normal rules of liscensing.
As for the 'next big thing', I think Eden of the East has the capability to be really big if Funi play their cards right.

- 1 heaping cup white sugar
- 1/2 c butter
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 ts vanilla
- 1/2 ts nutmeg
- 1/2 pound glaceed cherries
- 1/2 pound pineapple
- 3/4 c almonds
- 1/2 c minced peel
- 1/4 c milk
- 2-3/4 c flour
- 1 ts baking powder
- 2 pounds white sultana raisins
- 3/4 c walnuts or pecans
- 1 c shredded coconut
- 4 egg whites beaten
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks, nutmeg and vanilla; mix til creamy again. Add flour mixed with baking powder, followed by milk. Mix well. Start adding fruit and nuts, stirring as you go. I've broken many a wooden spoon on this one, but trust me it's worth it. Once all the fruits and nuts have been mixed, gently fold in beaten egg whites. Do not overmix. Pour into greased and floured pans. One batch will do 1 large fruit cake or several small ones. I usually double the recipe and make many small cakes in the aluminum disposable cake pans to give as gifts. Bake in a slow oven (325F) til golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about an hour. Caution, baking time will vary widely depending on what size pan you are baking in and how many are in the oven at a time. Keep an eye on the first batch and be sure to only bake like sizes in the same batch.

QPR transfer news: Rangers may wait until January for Jermain Defoe, says Tony Fernandes
Published: 01 September 2014
Updated: 21:42, 01 September 2014
QPR chairman Tony Fernandes believes a deal can be done to sign Jermain Defoe in January, if the club are unsuccessful in their deadline day pursuit of the 31-year-old.
Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports News a deal to bring the forward to Loftus Road in the final hours is still 'a possibility', as Rangers look to boost their frontline following Loic Remy's departure on Sunday.
The England international has been linked with a return to England having left Tottenham for the Major League Soccer franchise in January, with a whole hosts of clubs reported to be interested in acquiring his services.
Leicester were believed to be keen on talking to Defoe's representatives, with the 31-year-old also touted as a potential deadline-day signing for Arsenal or former club Tottenham.
But Kurtis Larson, a journalist for the Toronto Sun, has poured cold water on any suggestion Defoe will leave Toronto, who have recently sacked manager Ryan Nelsen.
"BREAKING: TheTorontoSun can confirm that Jermain Defoe will remain at TFC after rejecting multiple bids," he wrote on Twitter.
But Fernandes insists Toronto are keen to sort out a deal for Defoe, who has struggled to settle in the MLS, though Rangers may have to wait until the new year to land the striker.
Speaking to Sky Sports outside Loftus Road, Fernandes said: "There's a will from both sides to do a deal.
"It's just about whether or not they'll allow him to leave while they're in the play-offs.
"We've known Jermain for a long time, if we can't do something now then I'm sure something can be done in January."
A number of Barclays Premier League clubs look like being disappointed by the news that Defoe is unlikely to leave current club Toronto FC.

TENNIS: British champion Canter savours amazing feeling
/ Sport
Abingdon's Alexis Canter said winning the under 16 boys' singles title in the Nike Junior National Champion-ships at Nottingham completed a perfect week.
No 1 seed Canter defeated Cambridge's Finn Bass 6-3, 6-0 in the final to cap a great seven days for the rising star.
He said: "It's an amazing feeling standing here with this trophy.
"There are some pretty impressive winners on here and I'm so proud to be up there with them."
Canter, 16, dropped just one set en route to the final where he started strongly by breaking Bass in the opening game.
The Abingdon player's lack of errors gave him the edge, and although Bass saved three set points to break back, Canter immediately responded to take the first set.
Showing outstanding court coverage, Canter kept a stranglehold on the second set to seal the title.
"I had to really focus at the start of the second set," he said.
"If I had let Finn back in at that stage it could have been very different.
"I saved my best tennis of the week for today.
"As a player you want to be continually improving as the tournament progresses, so it has been a perfect week for me.
"I felt like I used my forehand really well – I moved well around it which allowed me to dominate points.
"It's been a great week. One that I will remember for a long time.
"There were some really tough matches that, looking back on now, I am very happy with how I played.
"It's a fantastic tournament and I'm over the moon."
Canter's victory came after a very successful tournament representing Great Britain Under 16s at Wimbledon.
He won all five singles matches against opponents from Japan, USA, Italy, South Africa and Argentina in the IC World Finals.

Anthony Pettis vs. Jose Aldo Needs to be For a Belt
It's funny how a couple of days can completely change a situation. After Jose Aldo demolished Ricardo Lamas to defend his title again, it seemed that a super fight between the champion and Anthony Pettis was all but a signed deal. Both Pettis and Aldo have expressed their interest in fighting each other at Lightweight, which means that Aldo would vacate his Featherweight title and fight at Pettis' weight class. For Aldo, it is a move that the MMA community has been wanting for a while. It has been well documented that Aldo has a very hard weight cut to make the cut for Featherweight. All of this seemed hunky-dory until Aldo's coach voiced his opinion and said that he wanted a catch weight at 150 pounds. Deals off for me, ladies and gentleman, I will not watch it.
First off, who does this coach think he is? I'm sure that it is a big deal for him to, because he has to train Aldo and keep him winning, but ultimately it is not his choice. He can advise Aldo, in private, to urge for a catch weight; not announce it to the world and put a sour taste in every MMA fan. The problem with a catch weight bout is that there will be nothing at stake. Both of the fighters can keep their title and what the fans get is nothing more than an exhibition bout.
Would I love to see Aldo and Pettis go at it? Of course! I have a pulse, and I would love to see the striking battle that would ensue, as well as how Aldo looked at his new weight, and if Pettis really is as good as everyone thinks. I want this fight, but I want it under the right conditions. These guys are at the top of their divisions; let them fight for more than just bragging rights. The UFC needs to do the right thing and make this a title fight, or else I am not going to buy the fight.
