(CBS) -- Target's massive security breach seems to grow bigger by the day. First, it was credit cards. Then, PIN numbers. Next, it became clear data theft was involved. Now, it's emerging that more retailers were also affected.
While the may make some shoppers feel helpless against faceless thieves, there are steps you should take to protect yourself against fraudulent charges and identity theft.
The bad news for consumers? The expanding scope of the theft raises the danger that someone could be victimized. As a result, consumers must continue to be vigilant in monitoring their credit-card and bank accounts, as well as to be suspicious of any emails or calls from people claiming to represent retailers or banks.
It's also important to remember that a retailer's legal responsibility is only to report the data loss to consumers, credit bureaus and state regulators. Retailers aren't legally required to offer credit-protection services to consumers, Brian Lapidus, managing director and information security practice leader at Kroll, told CBS MoneyWatch in an email.
As the story of how hackers stole confidential data from Target continues to escalate, some people are vowing to only use cash for purchases, given the risk of credit-card fraud. But Lapidus notes that consumers shouldn't give up on plastic. "Cash can be lost or stolen with little or no recourse," he wrote. "I'd rather use a credit card which has protections afforded to the cardholder if the card number is used without his/her authority."
But consumers do need to be prepared for the worst, said Yaron Samid, CEO of financial planning software maker BillGuard. "It seems like right now there's almost an epidemic of malware at point-of -sale terminals," he said.
In today's environment, "It's just a matter of time before your information is compromised."
Below are nine tips gleaned from three security experts interviewed by CBS MoneyWatch on how to protect yourself amid the growing security threat.
The bottom line is that credit-monitoring is only part of the solution, noted Kroll's Lapidus. "Passwords, PINs, etc., have nothing to do with credit monitoring. Consumers need other tools outside of monitoring," he wrote. "Commerce is safe, but vigilance is paramount."
Some may believe that living off the grid may be the only solution, but that's not so easily done these days. As such, consumers need to realize that data security requires them to be prepared and not to rely only on banks and financial institutions to protect them.
"Realistically, we want to live more freely, do our banking from the coffee shop via Wifi," Chase said. "We want to put our birthdays on Facebook even though" that can help thieves sniff out your complete birthdate. He added, "It's a balancing act to be as safe as you can be."

Here's the letter, in all its (ahem) upstanding passion:
What do we want? CHAIRS!
When do we want them? NOW!
What will we eat if we don't get them? BRAINS!
Take a walk through the classic capital cities of Warcraft, specifically the Horde cities. While you take this tour I have a challenge for you – count the number of chairs that you can find. This number might startle you. The specific cities of Thunderbluff, Orgimmar, and the Undercity are largely if not completely vacant of such fixtures save for two thrones.
This also largely applies to the nearby cities and housing for those races. Visit the Cross Roads, visit Tarren Mill, and other smaller factional holdings and you will notice a trend of a lack of chairs. To its credit, Brill has -1- chair. In fact there is an overall lack of much in the way of viable living space for the classic races of the Horde.
So what gives? More so why is this important and how might it be reflected in the coming content? Among the Horde players there is a growing concern that this lack of basic fixtures will be missing from the Horde's Garrisons if current content is any means to speculate. Since the garrisons will be Orcish in style, will the lack of basic fixtures also be reflected in the Garrison?
Take a look at the Alliance. There is material already published in regards to the Garrisons, and it's gorgeous: frankly the stuff of rp dreams. Previews came out at Blizzcon 2013. Much of the Alliance Garrison modeling and fixtures are based on established content, where we can easily draw many parallels. So if we consider the Alliance Garrison and then their content, then look to the Horde, you will understand why so many Horde players are starting to regard the Garrisons with a certain measure of dread. Would you sink a small fortune in gold, and many hours of your time for...mats on a dirt floor? When asked the overwhelming Horde consensus is: no.
The Garrisons are a spectacular chance for Blizzard to do something great for the players. Let's hope that the Horde receives some greatly needed updating and content in terms of interior design.
A Forsaken player who really would just like to sit in a chair
So, seated and not-so-seated denizens of Azeroth: Do we need more chairs?

Another Mafia murder in Montreal
This one kinda kept out of the headlines but I think it is significant. On June 20th the police in Quebec identified a body that was found the day before in Montreal to be 23-year-old William Robinson. I understand he was originally from Victoria and was involved in the drug trade.
It was reported that he was found with his head covered, face down and hands bound behind his back on the side of a road near a heavily wooded area close to the Ottawa River, west of Montreal. I'm assuming the death was around June 13th. La Presse is reporting that the murder victim was tied to Salvatore Scoppa. In December of last year, Will was arrested with Scoppa along with several others in a police string busting two drug networks involving the Irish West end gang and the Italian mafia under Salvatore Scoppa.
It is rumored that the police were trying to get Will to flip on his co accused but he refused and his co accused killed him anyways just to be safe. It sounds like this is part of the same drug trafficking network involving the Hells Angels, the West end gang and the mafia where Larry Amero was busted the month before. Possibly the same ring that Cosmo the clown took the fall for supplying the Big Apple with BC Bud.

A day after Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R., Texas) fessed up to being the lawmaker who shouted out "baby killer" during the House debate on the health care bill, the matter is ricocheting around Capitol Hill.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D., Mass.), sitting about 100 feet from Neugebauer at a House hearing on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Tuesday, used the opportunity to swipe at his GOP colleague.
"My emotions might overcome me and I might be tempted to scream out that someone, or something or some group of people might be a 'homeownership killer' if they got rid of Fannie and Freddie," Capuano said.
Neugebauer didn't respond to the barb, which caused a surprised gasp from both Republican and Democratic staff members, who briefly dropped their practiced straight-ahead gaze.

Doom 3 Source Code released! Read on to find out more!
Posted by Henley on Nov 23rd, 2011
On the 22nd of November the Doom 3 source code was released with a few changes and omissions.
Gamasutra wrote:The source does not contain any game data, which is still covered by the original EULA.
The source also does not include functionality enabling rendering of stencil shadows via the "depth fail" method (commonly called "Carmack's Reverse"), which lawyers from parent company Zenimax said might infringe on a patent for a Creative Labs 3D shading technique.
You can find the download here on ModDB Moddb.com it is recommended however if you are reading this in a few months that you seek out any official versions due to it might be a more recent update.
Source: Gamasutra.com
Back at QuakeCon in 2009 John Carmack announced that the Doom 3 source code would be released at some point in the future. Confirmed today at two years later at the 2011 QuakeCon that the very same source code will be made available to everyone after id's next game RAGE releases later this year.
VG247_liveblog wrote:Carmack said in his keynote that these releases of Id code are a "challenge to other developers," and are beneficial to both Id and "the community."
This means that a whole mess of modifications like the Dark Mod, Arx, Last Man Standing can release a almost indie version. It also means we might see some fantastic new endeavours being birthed because of this, maybe this will start another Team Fortress as we all know how well that worked out last time.

Sikkmod's about to get shitloads more badass.
i've already merged some of his changes in :D.
yay :)
Valve, Epic & Crytek fans can keep their "free" SDK's & royalty based engines, I'll take GPL code for great engines any day. 8)
Why don't I ever understand any of your hipster crap
I was elitist about open source software before anyone else was. Oh, that's right, you probably don't even know what that is.
I don't understand why this comment was down-voted. id has released everything else GPL, if they skipped releasing Doom 3 under GPL, I'd be confused. Epic's UDK, while impressive, is still not up to snuff with id's offerings. I applaud id and their community support, Linux releases and modding tools. It's nice to see one company that can make loads of money and still care about their fans.
It's downvoted for outright taking a **** on those companies for offering anything to work with, the entitlement issues are pure douche chills.
It's down-voted because people crap all over id because they don't charge you for the "privilege" of paying them high royalties just so you can use their code. Indie companies already got an uphill battle, they don't need some "indie" friendly company taking 25% of their gross income just so you can put another companies logo in the loading screens.
It's down-voted because id never ONCE gave anyone a sense of entitlement, they expected their modders & GPL coders to make the tools they need (benefited Valve quite a bit, no?) and didn't put training wheels on modders bikes while putting them in a foam suit.
It's down-voted because the three companies I mentioned play buddy-buddy with "special" mod teams and id doesn't.
The doom 3 source code release is great and the engine is still neat - BUT, I think I would not use it for something I'd go commercial with, simply because of the GPLs restrictions (obligation to make the products source code available). For free stuff though I think it's (about) perfect . . . but then again: for free stuff you also don't have to pay a single dime to Epic/CryTek/Unity Technologies . . . so they probably aren't any worse in that regard.
Overall I think the choice of engine is -as often- depending on application, your (team's) experience and personal preference, therefore a concluding: meh.
You could always lock down assets other than source code to prevent people freely redistributing it. you'd still get piracy but thats an issue in any game.
people just go:
skim skim skim
skim skim
anything negative
Lol thats exactly what i just did XD
I wonder how long it'll take for an idTech 5 style megatexture renderer to be implemented. Five, maybe six months? :P
On a more serious not, I can see a lot of fun, creative games coming out in the near future, now that the sourcecode has been released.
The renderer is not the problem per se, it's the data format and decode efficiency. Though you might be almost right since some of those Open Source coders are pretty good with compression methods (FLAC anyone?).
This is huge. The first engine with fully dynamic per-pixel lighting is going Open Source. With a few tweaks this will be competitive with UE3 and beyond.
i wish they would release ETQW source code it comes with a modified version of megatexture and it's the only game to use megatexture with idtech 4! But so far so good to ave D3 src!
Apparently you can use mods to access megatexturing in Doom 3, just at half the resolution, so it won't be too long until some of the brilliant programmers in the modding community come out with code for a ETQW level megatexture system. Who knows, once they see how Carmack did it in the first place, they might even be able to implement id Tech 5 style megatextures.
well megatexture in etqw apparently works differently than in id tech5. How differently im just guessing tbh. Anyway there are some modification in scripting and multi threaded processing made by SD. those are easy to add but Megatexture will be a hard trick to pull!
Yeah, I know. My comment was a half-joking acknowledgement that the programmers in the modding community are really very good and, once they see how something's done, they can replicate it. Now, while I don't really expect id Tech 5 style megatexturing to be implemented, it certainly wouldn't surprise me :P.
There is already a prototype of megatexture in doom 3 and works pretty well, search around the net, there should be still a download.
Bout damn time :)
Litte late, but who cares.
Better late than never.
Wicked! ID are great!
Great news... Does this mean Linux potential as a gaming platform has just doubled? I sure hope so!
Why? Did it double with the last time they released an engine? Or are you talking about "indie" (commercial or not) games? And even then they wouldn't double. They'll do the "we're now porting to engine X" thing and take that much longer to complete.
This is just another reason why ID has got to be the best gaming company! Most definitely my favorite of ALL time :D. Unlike all these other companies like Blizzard and DICE... ID FTW!
This is excellent news for the modding community! Considering what some teams have been able to do without the source code already, limits (I predict) would be endless. Thankfully, ID haven't yet entirelly forgotten their shareware roots, either, and are passing things along to the community again.
Definitely looking forward to seeing how projects like The Dark Mod progress after this release.
This will probably sound kind of stupid, but does this mean we can play doom 3 for free as well ?
No, you'd need all the art assets, scripts, etc for it to run. Without them you just have the engine.
Oh, thanks for answering. Still looking forward to the release though!
No problem, glad I could help :).
It would make sense to me if they released doom 3 free, its current sales probably don't amount to much, and it would hype up this engine release, create an art asset base for the mod community, and get people playing ID's games before another ID release, including the rumored next doom game.
but woo for id tech 4 all the same
Can't see that happening, Quake one is still 9.99 on steam :(
It could be something like Freedoom where the community creates the assets from the ground up..
I hope Dark Mod will be released as Indie Game, as I don't possess Doom3.
Good job ID!
The Dark Mod team has to be doing cartwheels and somersaults right now.
This is TERRIFIC news for everybody.
I think that it's safe to say that when one looks at the gaming market today, that it's full of unimaginative clones whose sole goal is to make pretty games that are aimed to capture the largest audience possible, which means that in regards to game design that the chief targets are all of the lowest denominator. To no surprise, the results are totally lifeless and unengaging: much like pulling a Miley Cyrus mask over the head of a zombie.
The release of this will likely cause a whole cascade of imaginative and risk-taking games that should put a lot of pressure on the Big Boys to think more carefully about their future releases. And if they're capable of being embarrassed, then they'll be blushing the entire time that they try one of these releases out.
And then, if they're SMART, they'll HIRE from this pool of creative imagineers of great game design, and then hopefully don't smother them later with their corporatist ways.
Yeah, a great day for everybody. A great gift!
Don't get me wrong, this release is great and all for the community, but... Really? Unity has a completely free version, there's UDK, there's CryEngine SDK, there's Irrlicht3D, there's OGRE, there's a few id Tech 3 code bases with hundreds of improvements that make it near if not better than the quality of id Tech 4...
Just saying that at this point, I have no idea why all those super duper incredibly creative developers waited for this particular release.
Can't wait to work on the id tech 4 engine.
Now that is something to get us all excited, Treb playing around with id Tech 4's code. Either ET-Xreal is going to get a whole host of upgrades or we'll see id Tech 4 surpass CE3.
A glorious time for idTech4 modding is finally upon us!
Thank you idSoftware!
It will sure be interesting to look at their code, perhaps there's another fast inverse square root function-like thing in there :)
"Valve, Epic & Crytek fans can keep their "free" SDK's & royalty based engines, I'll take GPL code for great engines any day. 8)"
Friar beat me to it :D
**** yeah !! :D
Awesome glad we are getting plenty of new engines. I think i may write a game in this if the source-code is good :D.
Kamikazi[UK] i bet it is has well coded has the C4 engine or even better we are talking about John Carmack coding here. ;)
Your days must be 10 times as long as mine, another project added to your to-do list. I'm still waiting for the benchmark test on your 2D engine.
It was already uploaded a few months back. Stop being a douche about all my comments.
I have already rewrote a new engine for UNI with pixel blitting, trapsarency and alot of new interesting black boxing techniques etc, so not got time for it anymore. Also writing a dx3D10 engine and shaders etc. Also working on a animation system and various other projects for university so i just don't have the time.
I want to re-write alot of the code again over the xmas break, now that i have a better understanding of many areas.
I didn't say i was going to make quake engine game now. I may make one later next year if i ever get time.
That's what I'm saying. At each new shiny release of anything game(engine) related you're like "I'll use it!".
I think it's funny. And you've just proven my point about the amount of projects you're on. If you would ever just focus on one thing it might be worth it but instead you just keep adding more stuff to do. If you're not doing it now why say it? To sound cool? The 1337 days are over.
All the projects i said are for university they are modules we are studying. I always like to work on one of my own projects in spare time aswell as university work.
I have only said i want to use this engine on 2 things now. I do want to use both sometime this year just for a mini-project and a project with a few friends at uni.

The following overview and installation instructions are for professional system integrators building servers that use Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence with industry-accepted motherboards, chassis, and peripherals. It contains technical information intended to aid in system integration. Boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence product information can be found in the processor product brief and related material.
The Boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 SequenceProcessor Overview
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence is based on two Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture and includes several performance enhancing features. The Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence introduces several new features including: Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology, Hardware-Assisted Virtualization via Intel® Virtualization Technology, Thermal Monitor 1 & 2, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology, Demand Based Switching and retains support for Hyper-Threading Technology.
Two Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture in the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence and Hyper-Threading Technology enable the processor to achieve breakthrough performance for visual computing, concurrent application environments, and the future of the Internet, while Intel® EM64T provides 64 bit extensions for greater memory access and can increase system performance with optimized applications and operating systems. New power features such as Demand Based Switching, Thermal Monitor 2 and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology can help to keep system performance running smoothly in higher temperature environments.
The Boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence includes two different thermal solutions optimized for different platform form factors: The 1U Passive / 2U+ Active combination solution in the Active Fan configuration is primarily designed to be used in a pedestal chassis where sufficient air inlet space is present and strong side directional airflow is not an issue. The 1U Passive / 2U+ Active solution with the fan removed and the 2U passive solution require the use of chassis ducting and are targeted for use in rack servers
Both thermal solutions share a common retention base referred to as Common Enabling Kit or CEK. This was done to allow different heat sinks to all attach the same way without modification to the chassis or system board. CEK is a direct chassis attach method allowing the weight of the heat sink to transfer into the chassis back plane. This reduces stress to the system board in the event of a drop or system shock.
Please see the Integration section for full instructions on installing the heat sink solutions into a platform.
Included with the Boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence
Identifying a Boxed Processor
Boxed processor test specifications, or S-Specs, marked on the topside of the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequenceidentify specific information about the processor. Using the S-Spec Reference Table and the information marked on the processor, a system integrator can verify the appropriate speed rating, stepping, lot number, serial number and other important information about the processor. The numbers marked on the processor should match the numbers on the processor box label.
Once the boxed processor is installed into a system, the markings on the processor are not visible, and the processor will need to be removed in order to see the markings. In order to avoid this step, there is a sticker provided with the Boxed processor that can be removed and placed inside the chassis. If the processors are upgraded, the markings you've attached to the chassis should be replaced, removed or obviously marked as obsolete to avoid confusion.Platform RequirementsSystem integrators building servers based on the boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence should use chassis, power supplies, and system boards that are specifically designed for the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence. The only validated chipsets for these processors include the Intel® 5000X, 5000P, and 5000V Chipset.
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence are not compatible with boards that were designed for earlier Intel® Xeon® Processors-based servers and chipsets. The increased frequency, power, thermals and weight requirements of the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence and thermal solutions, require the platform update.
Selecting a System Board
It is important to verify that the specific system board model, and revision, supports the specific Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence frequency being used. A BIOS upgrade may be required in order to properly recognize and support the latest stepping of the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence.
A tested platform reference list will be available shortly after processor launch. This list will contain board and chassis combinations that have been submitted to Intel and have passed our thermal and electrical requihttp://www.corpedia.com/log.asp?uid=4226449rements. There will also a source list of server boards which the hardware vendor has advertised as being specifically designed for boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence.Heatsink Support
The boxed processor will include one of two kinds of unattached heat sink solutions specifically designed to provide sufficient cooling to the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence when used in a suitable chassis environment. The passive heat sink solutions require as close to a 0 bypass around the heat sinks as possible. In other words, it must be a well designed duct with virtually no gaps. The active solution is designed for pedestal chassis that can not properly support ducting, but has sufficient chassis airflow to keep temperature rise to the processor fan inlet from external ambient temperatures down to a minimum. Additional chassis airflow (400 LFM) must also be provided to the voltage regulators located on the system board to insure proper system operation. Chassis that were not specifically designed for the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence will mostly likely not meet the needed requirements.
The heat sink solutions included with the boxed processor ships with pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM). Take care not to disturb the pre-applied TIM before the heat sink is installed. Any removal of the thermal interface material may disrupt the thermal characteristics of the thermal solution and potentially damage the processor
Any time the heat sink is removed after normal operation, it is necessary to reapply thermal interface material.
4-Wire Fan Cable
System board must comes with a 4-pin heat sink fan cable header on the board. The fan headers are keyed so that the connector may only be placed in the proper orientation.
System boards must also be able to support the following power guidance:
Selecting a Chassis
Chassis that support the boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence should comply with SSI specifications for Electronics Entry Bay 3.5 (EEB 3.5) for 2U and above rack and pedestal platforms and TEB 2.0 for 1U rack. These specifications include hole diameters, attach locations and power supply recommendations.
It is also highly recommended that the chassis provide sufficient cooling to the processor voltage regulators located on the system board. It is possible to lower overall platform performance if these components are allowed to exceed their operational temperature.
It is expected that the inlet temperature to any of the thermal solution will not exceed 40° Celsius. It is the responsibility of the chassis designer to insure this requirement is meet.
Selecting a Power Supply
System boards supporting the boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence include a manual with installation instructions. Consult this manual as well as the boxed processor manual before integrating an Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence-based system. In addition, the following information can aid system integrators in successfully integrating a boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence-based system.
Integrating an Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence-Based System System boards supporting the boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence include a manual with installation instructions. Consult this manual as well as the boxed processor manual before integrating an Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence-based system. In addition, the following information can aid system integrators in successfully integrating a boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence-based system.System Board Installation
To begin system installation it is critical to verify that eight removable standoffs, which will be used to attach the processor retention mechanisms, are installed in the chassis base plate.
Verify Installation of the CEK Springs
Verify that the CEK springs have been installed on your system board. These springs should have shipped with the system board, but if not contact your board manufacture to verify compatibility with the boxed processor heat sink solution. If the CEK springs were not attached to the system board prior to shipping, install them prior to mounting the system board, using proper ESD precautions.

Vacuum wands may be considered
Thermal interface material should be pre-applied to the heat-sink solution. It will appear like a dry grey material located in the center position under the heat sink solution. If the heat sink solution is removed after the system is booted it will be necessary to clean the old thermal interface material off and replace it with a new TIM pad or thermal grease. Contact Intel® Customer Support to get replacement TIM pads or grease.
Warning:There is a potential risk of breaking the heat sink screws if they are over tightened beyond specification during installation. The screws that are used to secure the heat sink to the chassis back plane are designed for a maximum torque of 20 foot pounds. Exceeding this specification may result in the screw head breaking off.
Integrators must continue to use caution during the installation of the thermal solution to avoid over torque the heat sink screws. It is recommended that during installation that each screw is started. Then tighten the screws using a crisscross pattern.
Align Heat Sink Carefully Avoid Over Tightening: Over tightening can result in damage to the processor, heat sink, chassis, and or the server board.
If using the active heat sink as shown in the images above make sure to connect the heat sink power header to the system board. The fan/board header may either come in a 3-pin or 4-pin variety. Both headers should be compatible with each other.
Maintaining and Upgrading an Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence-Based System
Processor Removal
Every time the heat sink is removed from the processor, it is critical that more thermal interface material be applied to the processor's integrated heat spreader in order to ensure proper thermal transfer to the boxed processor fan heat sink.
To order new accessories for your Intel Xeon processor, please go to this site: Spares Support
Caution: If you find that considerable force is required to remove the boxed processor assembly, consider wearing gloves to protect your hands and take care to keep your hands away from any metal edges on the chassis when removing components.
Operating System Support
System performance is greatly affected by proper operating system and driver installation processes. For example, it is important to install the latest Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility immediately after installing most Microsoft operating systems to ensure proper drivers for the chipset are installed prior to installation of other drivers. System integrators should confirm boxed Intel Xeon processor-based systems are optimally configured and integrated.
Conclusion Boxed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence -based systems require proper integration. System integrators that follow the guidelines in this document will experience higher customer satisfaction by providing higher quality systems. This document has explained the new requirements for:

Many Americans are unaware that three buildings within the World Trade Center complex fell on Sept 11, 2001. Located just 300 feet from the North Tower,World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) was a forty-seven story steel framed building, which collapsed vertically in 6.5 seconds more than 6 hours after the collapse of the Twin Towers. Although the collapse of the towers was televised hundreds of times in the days following 9/11, the collapse of WTC 7 was seldom shown or discussed. The widely publicized 9/11 Commission Report fails to mention the collapse of WTC 7 in its 568 pages. Looking beyond the limited information provided by the mass media about the fall of WTC 7, a number of questions arise.
Construction began on WTC 7 in 1984; it was opened to the public in 1987. The building had 47 stories, was 570 feet tall, and had 81 support columns with 24 core columns and 57 perimeter columns spanning from basement to roof.… Read the rest

Perennial : Helianthus maximiliani is a large plant with oval green leaves to 2m x 2m (or more)
Flowers: Yellow daisy like sunflowers with a chocolate brown centre, September/October
Drought tolerance: 5
Full sun, very heat tolerant
Comment on Helianthus maximiliani
Helianthus maximiliani or Maximilian's sunflower is native to Eastern states of the USA. It makes a spectacular sparkling yellow early autumn show, buzzing with bees and smelling gorgeously of milk chocolate (yes this is true). The plant has erect stems, with multiple 10 cm sunflowers and green pleasant foliage throughout the hottest months, which is quite an asset in itself.
Helianthus maximiliani is robust and easy to grow, requiring only a prune back in winter and in my garden requires no extra water under a permeable membrane and gravel mulch, growing in virtually pure clay.
Easy to propagate too, from seed which germinates quickly (without stratification which strangely is often suggested) and easily or from pieces of its rhizomes. However it is rarely seen or mentioned in books, despite being so very much better as a a garden plant than many of the fussy plants that are available in nurseries. It is not the kind of plant that will suddenly take umbrage when planted out and then fade away. This plant deserves to be much more widely grown in large gardens.
Seeds can be obtained on the internet fairly easily and the plant will flower in its first year from a Spring (or later) sowing.
Leaves are lanceolate (pointed), slightly droopy and covered in hairs It spreads gently at first and then more robustly from rhizomes and will self seed in the garden; bring it on! Don't imagine it is going to stay small however, it is a large plant and will form quite a mass over time, in the wrong place it could definitely be described as invasive.
Helianthus maximilani Maximilian's sunflower associates nicely with drought tolerant grasses, Miscanthus sinensis and Arundo donax.

Make the changes in winamp, close it, then restart frodoplayer. it will work
Someone said that since frodoplayer uses mediaplayer if you change the EQ settings in WMP then it should affect the songs when being played in frodoplayer... i tried but it doesnt work.
Am i wasting my time trying to get it working like this? or should it work?
If not how can i get an EQ working with frodoplayer? is there some program i can just run in the background that will automatically EQ everything being played?

According to the weather forecasters, it's going to be a cold and snowy winter. I'm ready for it. I made this Winter Solstice Brew from Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It: And Other Cooking Projects by Karen Solomon towards the end of the summer. I'm kind of like a squirrel, only instead of nuts and berries, I tuck infused alcohol into every nook and cranny of my house.
This is one that I am really excited about. Who doesn't love a good infused brandy, especially one infused all wintery with cinnamon and oranges and vanilla. I imagine this is in hot tea, or in one of those cute brandy snifter glasses that make me feel all Masterpiece Theatre as I swirl my brandy around in them.
I also have to say, that I posted this because in my notes on my calendar, it says "Post winter something for Blogher." I have no idea what I meant by that. Anyone on Blogher care to enlighten me. I really must take better notes, make sure they are complete, the old brain is not what it used to be.
The good news is that this infuses for about 5 weeks, so if you start it now, right now, you can have it in time for the holidays.
Winter Solstice Brew
- 4 cups brandy
- 2 star anise
- 1 (8-inch) piece cinnamon stick
- 1 (8-inch) piece vanilla bean, sliced lengthwise
- 4 small sweet navel oranges, scrubbed, dried, and chopped into 4 to 6 pieces
- 24 black peppercorns
Combine all the ingredients in a clean, odor free wide-mouthed glass jar (all the better if you have a wonderful old canning jar). Label the jar, cap it tightly and store in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, shaking daily.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter. Return the infusion to it's jar, recap it, put it back in a cool, dark place, and let it continue to mellow for 3 more weeks.
Refrigerate or store in a cool dark pantry almost indefinitely!
Makes 4 cups.

What StackExchange family web site is most suitable to ask a question considering Market Technical Analysis? Programming related (e.g. MetaTrader) and non-programming related (theory, etc).
What is meta? ×
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 150 Stack Exchange communities.
You can also support the Quantitative Finance stack that is steadily gaining momentum. I hope it'll start soon.
Since there is no specific Q&A on StackExchange for market technical analysis, it depends on the nature of each question.
Strictly programming-related ones would suit StackOverflow. For theory, provided the focus is on numerical methods or you are able to formulate it as such, try Statistical Analysis or a more general Mathematics.
Until the Quantitative Finance stack is up and running, you might try Personal Finance and Money.

NBA Superfan makes a fashion statement at the AAC
James Goldstein was hard to miss before the start of Sunday night's game. He's a well-documented NBA superfan who jets to games all over the country. Before Sunday night's game started, he was standing on the court, resplendent in his ulta-chic wardrobe, chatting with NBA great Magic Johnson and coaching legend turned broadcaster Jack Ramsay. He has been, he says, to 35 playoff games the last few weeks, including NBA Finals stops in Miami and Dallas. At one point, he had gone to 21 games in 22 days. Sunday night, he was wearing a custom-made python hat "that I designed myself," he says. "I had it made in Paris." The jacket, with black and white scissor stripes, "is new this season," he says. "I've never worn it before. It's designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. It's such a hot day outside, I decided to break it in."And what about the tie, the shirt, the boots? "The pants are Versace, the boots from Gucci," Goldstein says. "The scarf was made by a friend of mine that makes scarves. He lives in Paris. I have become quite well known in Paris for the way I dress." He is also well-known in Hollywood, where his home has served as a movie set. Dallas is hot, Goldstein says, but he loves the Nasher Sculpture Center.

Gold rises on speculationComment on this story
London - Gold rose for the first time in three days in London on speculation prices that reached a seven-week low will encourage more physical purchases from China.
Bullion of 99.99 percent purity for immediate delivery in Shanghai traded at a premium to the London price earlier today, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
China was last year's biggest gold consumer, according to the London-based World Gold Council.
Gold slipped 3.2 percent in March, partly on the outlook for reduced stimulus in the US.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said last month the central bank may end its bond-buying program this fall and increase borrowing costs six months after that, before this week saying that "considerable slack" in labor markets showed that accommodative policies will be needed for "some time."
US reports this week may show stronger jobs growth after data yesterday showed that manufacturing accelerated last month.
"The downside in gold seems to be protected by a modest pickup in demand from China," Abhishek Chinchalkar, an analyst at Mumbai-based AnandRathi Commodities Ltd., said in a report.
"However, the metal continues to hover close to its lowest of the past seven weeks, pressurised by further deterioration in safe-haven buying."
Bullion for immediate delivery rose 0.3 percent to $1,283.29 an ounce by 9:34 a.m. in London, according to Bloomberg generic pricing. It reached $1,277.79 yesterday, the lowest since February 11.
Gold for June delivery added 0.3 percent to $1,283.30 on the Comex in New York, after falling for a fifth session yesterday in the longest run of losses since November.
Futures Trading
Futures trading volume was 22 percent below the average for the past 100 days for this time of day, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
The metal's 14-day relative-strength index fell to about 35.2 in London yesterday, the lowest since December, and near the level of 30 that suggests a potential impending rebound to some analysts who study technical charts.
It was at 37.4 today.
"There is some buying interest below $1,300, but the upward momentum is weak," Xia Yingying, an analyst at Nanhua Futures Co., said from Hangzhou.
"Prices are likely to stay in range before the US jobs data and very short-term support can be found at the 100-day moving average" that's currently at about $1,272.24, she said.
Economists forecast the Labor Department will say on April 4 US employers added 200,000 jobs in March after boosting positions by 175,000 the previous month.
Silver for immediate delivery rose 0.5 percent to $19.8701 an ounce in London.
Platinum added 0.3 percent to $1,428.75 an ounce.
Palladium lost 0.3 percent to $778.47 an ounce.
Prices climbed to $801.53 on March 24, the highest since August 2011.
More than 70,000 members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union have been on strike at South African mines of the biggest platinum producers since January 23.
The AMCU said it will march to Lonmin Plc's Johannesburg offices tomorrow. - Bloomberg News

Six months after a bid to build a Wal-Mart Super Center in the Town of Ballston was turned down by the Town Council, property owners for the proposed site were in Saratoga County Court Friday morning looking to have that decision nullified.
In their third set of legal papers filed against the Town of Ballston, Frank and Rose Marie Rossi of Ballston Spa challenged the town against its zoning changes, attesting their usage for the land was approved before the zoning laws were changed.
However, Saratoga County Supreme Court Judge Frank Williams did not rule on the petition Friday.
The legality of the zoning practices was overshadowed by the re-surfacing of a contentious issue last September between town council members and their political opponents.
In September, allegations of illegal and secretive town board meetings arose questioning two meetings in May 2006. Members of the public, including the Rossis and their daughter, Gina Marozzi, alleged the meetings violated New York State Open Meetings Laws. The laws require elected officials to notify the public in advance of any meetings of elected officials, and also to post minutes after meetings are held.
Judge Williams ruled at that time the meetings did not break state regulations. Friday, however, it was revealed Judge Williams had received a page from the day planner of Town Council member Mary Beth Hynes, in which the words secret meeting were allegedly written on one of the days in question for the council's unpublicized meetings. The source of the mailing to Judge Williams remains unknown.
Judge Williams will now review all the information presented, and make his decisions known within the next two weeks.
Hynes said she had no idea where the journal page would have come from, or why it would have been presented at this juncture.
"It's a non-issue," Hynes said Friday afternoon. "Judge Williams has already ruled the meetings were completely legal. It's troubling that this would come up at this time, since it has already been settled."

Should the city take a developer up on an offer to swap Downtown blocks?
A proposed land swap between the city and developer Opus Corp. could jumpstart development of two prime Downtown blocks.
Opus Corp. has owned the southern half of the Powers block — between South 4th and 5th streets and Nicollet Mall and Marquette Avenue — since 1985. However, the developer has dragged its feet on developing what is now a parking lot. The site — not quite half the block — is approximately 50,000 square feet, according to Downtown appraiser Pete Pelletier.
Meanwhile, the city of Minneapolis has had trouble luring developers for the old Nicollet Hotel block — 74,382 square feet of city-owned parking lot just north of the new Central Library between Nicollet Mall and Hennepin Avenue.
In 2003, the city sought developer proposals to build 300 Nicollet block condos or apartments above a 24-hour underground transit terminal. Nobody bit. In July, the city extended the deadline to Sept. 15.
Opus, an experienced Downtown developer, replied on the final day — but not quite with the proposal the city expected.
Do condos and buses mix?
In a letter, Opus offered to trade the Powers Block for the Nicollet Hotel block, which the city bought in 1994 with a Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) grant.
A remaining $10 million in FTA money mandates that a transit terminal be part of any development, the city says. The developer must give Metro Transit a 99-year, no-cost lease to operate the terminal, through which 1,000 buses would pass daily.
Mike Christenson, the city's director of economic development, said several unnamed developers "took a hard look at" the Nicollet Hotel site, but none was eager to market condos above 1,000 idling buses per day.
"That's the question that most developers start with," Christenson said.
Opus stated plainly in its Sept. 15 letter that "the combination of a metropolitan transit terminal located below housing on the Nicollet Hotel Block site is incompatible."
Opus asserted that structural columns supporting condos would not leave enough space for buses to maneuver.
Opus then presented a different idea: give us the Nicollet Hotel block for our housing development — sans buses — and we'll give you the Powers site for your transit terminal. Opus cited its experience building Downtown's Grant Park and Carlyle condo towers.
It's a fair trade in terms of land values. Downtown appraiser Pelletier said the Powers block was assessed at $130 per square foot in January 2005; the smaller Nicollet Hotel block is worth $85 per square foot, making the land values almost even ($6,500,000 for half of the Powers block vs. $6,322,470 for the Nicollet hotel site.)
Money is not the only consideration. Opus prefers the Nicollet Hotel block for housing because it is closer to the river, the Central Business District, Hennepin Avenue, Nicollet Mall and the new library than the Powers block. Currently, there is no link to the wider skyway system.
Opus says the Powers block's proximity to the Nicollet Mall light-rail station and skyway system makes it a natural for the transit terminal.
Bob Gibbons, communications director for Metro Transit, said the agency is just beginning to study how the swap would affect bus service and the workings of the transit center.
The proximity to the light rail is good, Gibbons said, but the Powers block is not near the end of Nicollet Mall, as the Nicollet Hotel block is. Buses would have to get to the Powers block from where Nicollet ends at Washington Avenue — where many now lay over at the Nicollet Hotel surface lot. That might mean using Marquette Avenue, which the Opus letter states would "take numerous buses off the Nicollet Mall."
An Opus coup?
Opus states in its letter that "development air rights… would be preserved above the underground Transit Terminal for future development" — perhaps a hint that Opus is looking to score both properties. The developer suggests a commercial building on the Powers block, above the terminal.
Opus Vice President Dave Menke would not comment on the possibility of developing both sites if the land swap happens. Menke referred to the language in the letter. Christenson said the letter reveals that "Opus believes a transit center is more likely under offices."
The Opus letter also noted "the transfer of properties would potentially accelerate the redevelopment" of the north half of the Powers block, which it does not own. Retail space along Nicollet Mall has been emptying out beneath parking ramps there — most recently with the Oct. 14 closing of Walgreens at 413 Nicollet Mall.
Matthew Baker of Baker Investments, LTD, which owns the northwest corner of the block, said his company is not emptying out the retail for a coming development and is actively pursuing tenants. Baker said his company "would be open to exploring all alternatives" in the future.
"If [Opus is interested in developing both sites,] they'll get to pay for both," Christenson said (except for the publicly funded transit terminal). "And they understand that."
The terminal would include three street-level passenger waiting areas and space for as many as 24 buses to "layover" while drivers used the on-site break room, restrooms or supervisors' offices.
