30. Re: Info on lossy DNG?MadManChan2000 Feb 10, 2012 9:26 AM (in response to sandy_mc)
Sandy is right ... I forgot to mention that the DNGs have color profiles embedded, so the DNGs themselves are not actually untagged. My use of the word "untagged" was meant in terms of the color transform applied (i.e., there isn't any).
31. Re: Info on lossy DNG?MadManChan2000 Feb 15, 2012 11:15 AM (in response to Ryan D Mack)
Hi Ryan,
The noise reduction algorithms in Lr 4 Beta are aware of the relationship between the image size of a downsampled, lossy compressed DNG (e.g., 10 MP) and the full-resolution original (e.g., 36 MP) and can therefore adjust its internal parameters accordingly. This happens automatically, without any specific action needed from the user. You can expect noise reduction to be extremely effective on high ISO, downsampled, lossy compressed DNGs.
Hope this helps,
32. Re: Info on lossy DNG?hamish niven Feb 15, 2012 9:03 PM (in response to Fuchsteufel)
There is almost merit in using it.
I'm still just going to buy additional harddrives and keep my images lossless, but man a load of work has gone into providing the lossy DNG's
33. Re: Info on lossy DNG?Simon Full Feb 15, 2012 9:59 PM (in response to MadManChan2000)
I accidentally run the DNG lossy conversion twice over the same image.. Does Lightroom make another pass or does it ignore the file? if it does how damaging can it be?
34. Re: Info on lossy DNG?MadManChan2000 Feb 16, 2012 6:58 AM (in response to Simon Full)
Hi Simon,
If you are converting a lossy compressed DNG to another lossy compressed DNG of the same image dimensions (i.e., no downsampling), then there is no loss of quality. This is because we recognize this special case and simply copy over the compressed data stream as-is (verbatim). Thus, we do not decompress & recompress, which would lose quality.
Of course, if you are generating a lossy compressed DNG of another image size (e.g., going from 10 MP to 4 MP), then of course the image characteristics will change because the image is getting smaller ...
35. Re: Info on lossy DNG?Simon Full Feb 16, 2012 9:26 AM (in response to MadManChan2000)
Thanks Eric, really like this whole lossy idea.

Ok value for money, but still hard to find and if you order a pick up for something, they will never find you, so you will have to book that through the lodge itself. "

Police: Torn-up muddy check leads to Vt IRS evacuation
BURLINGTON Police say a muddy check torn into pieces and sent to the IRS in Burlington caused a hazardous-materials scare that led to the evacuation of more than 100 office workers.
The IRS reported the checks arrival to police at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday. The Lakeside Avenue building was evacuated and police declared it was safe about three hours later.
Police said someone found a mud-covered check, ripped it to pieces and sent it to the IRS. But when the letter arrived, the mud had dried, crumbled to the bottom of the envelope and formed a granular substance, causing some alarm.
Numerous businesses also have offices inside the building, known as the Innovation Center.MORE IN This Just In

What's your Single Speed Cyclocross gear ratio. I'm currently running a 46x17, but it will soon be 40x17.
What's your Single Speed Cyclocross gear ratio. I'm currently running a 46x17, but it will soon be 40x17.
41x17 for flat and dry, 41x18 for hilly and dry, 39x18 for hilly and sloppy.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
I raced at 39x18 this year on flat courses. I mostly left the singlespeed in the van if the course had anything that resembled a hill.
Now that CX season is over and my SSCX bike is in commuter mode, I'm using 39x16 but contemplating a switch to 45x18 or maybe even 47x18. Possibly after a summer riding that I'll be ready to bump my racing ratio up a bit.
42x19 which is around 61 gear inches if I remember correctly. It works well on everything from commuting to singletrack as long as the hills are not overly steep. With that being said, I have not raced it yet and I think it would be a bit on the high side for me on a hilly course. For me it is a great jack of all trades, master of none ratio but that is what I use my cross bike for. Through the week I commute on it and on the weekends it usually will see some singletrack. With that being said I am not the most fit rider out there.

"I have an '06 E55 AMG. After just over four years of driving, I've put 73k miles. I love this car dearly--it is an absolute pleasure to drive... when it's working properly... This vehicle has had an unbelievable number visits to the shop! I've dealt with minor electrical issues involving the turn signals, and the sun roof and the battery began going out after 2 1/2 yrs... a bit premature considering it's supposed to be a 4 year battery. Those were annoying issues, but didn't hault me from getting to my destination. However, the major repairs included a faulty supercharger boost sensor, mass air flow sensor, the replacement of various engine pullies 9 different times before 50k. The problem was finally resolved (the belt was riding toward the edge of the pulley causing it to go out) and I haven't had any issues for the last 20k. I've had the suspension worked on four times. The first two were under warranty at 40k miles and one more time just before the warranty expired at 50k miles. The third suspension issue was costly and involved rebuilding the front left side at 60k. The fourth time happened today when the airomatic suspension system went out on my front passenger side causing the wheel to rub in the wheel well. Basically, I've had it... I'm trading this vehicle in as soon as the repairs are complete. Don't buy an MB vehicle with the air suspension or all of the bells and whistles--it's complete garbage! Each convenience feature is one more thing that will break... If I do buy another, I won't keep it past the warranty. I've spent thousands on repairs that would never have happened on a Lexus or Infiniti with twice the miles. I would have never kept this car this long, but I was too hooked on how fun it is to drive!!"

"We purchansed this vehicle based on Mercedes reputation. It has been an disaster from the beginning. The electrical system was fraught with problems right from the start. Now 5 yrs. later with only 26K miles, it has needed to have a master bolt replaced, tires replaced, the electronic stabalization system replaced, and now the electronic starter and the related system is down. The mechanic at the dealership told me to never buy an E class, but rather to buy a C class as the repair rate is much lower. I am very disappointed with this car and would never recommend it to anyone."

"This was my first Mercedes after having two(2) BMW's previously. The comfort of the ride and the handling characteristics are unbeatable. I would get excellent gas mileage,24-28 mpg on the highway. I kept the car garaged and never let it set outside in the hot sun. The exterior and interior are in excellent shape. No scrapes or scratches. 77,000 miles for a 13 year old car of this type is very low average miles. It should be a very good car for many years to come."

"I own a BluTec and drive fast and with a purpose, I enjoy driving! Have owned ML 320's and ML350 Special Edition, a 420, a 190, a 300SL, a 300E, and am happy to say the 300 BluTec is super fun. Tremendous torque, pulls mountains and accelerates uphill like a vehicle with much greater HP. Not a solid cornering vehicle in the mountains at 70-80mph but the stock tire width holds with no problem, takes some getting used to if you've been driving a true sports car. Top end craps out about 130MPH, but give me break that's got to be enough. MPG with the diesel averages 36-37, and on long trips I documented 40MPG. With current fuel prices I figure I'm paying half of premium fuel price per gallon. Inside, with 4 people, we're very comfortable, a 5th person is going to hate life. This is a sharp ride and people comment on it's appearance, but they go nuts when you tell them it's diesel, a common comment is "it doesn't sound like a diesel." With zero unscheduled maintenance the E300 runs flawlessly. One nasty is the $400 to change the fuel filter, but this isn't just any diesel, it's a Benz and that's as good as it gets so take care of the normal maintenance. If you like quality construction and want see it in the flesh, look under the rocker panels on this car, they're galvanized. That's quality."

In Art in the Blood, author Bonnie MacBird revives the favored and famous detective Sherlock Holmes and the indispensable, recently married Dr. Watson.
As you'd imagine from the title, bats are a key element in Zachary Thomas Dodson's intricately constructed and elaborately illustrated debut. But the book's real spirit animal is the ouroboros: a snake eating its own tail. Built as a novel within a novel, with supporting material in the form of letters and journal pages and drawings (all reproduced here as if photocopied from an archive), Bats of the Republic follows a pair of adventurous young men, several generations apart, on similar missions.
In novels like Year of Wonders, People of the Book and the Pulitzer Prize-winning March, Geraldine Brooks has demonstrated an ability to transform history into compelling, distinctive fiction. That talent is undiminished in The Secret Chord, a vivid re-creation of the life of King David.
Sloane Crosley is a familiar name to many readers of nonfiction, both for her self-deprecating essay collections and her contributions to the New York Times. Now she lends her insight and sense of humor to the world of fiction in a debut novel, The Clasp.
If James Joyce can devote an entire novel to one day in the life of the people of Dublin, why can't Homer Hickam devote a novel to the delivery of Albert the alligator to Florida? Especially when that journey treats readers to labor strikes, car chases, hijinks on the high seas, Hollywood movies and a fateful hurricane—not to mention cameo appearances by literary competitors John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway. Add to this a rooster perched imperturbably on Albert's head, and you have the makings of an intentionally improbable, bizarre trip through Southern Americana that is a tall tale blend of fact and fiction.
Clare Clark's novel of the dislocations that befall an aristocratic English family during and right after World War I is beautifully written and enjoyable, but the reader has to wonder if it would have been published had we not been living in the age of "Downton Abbey." Of course it might have, as the popular TV show has plenty of collateral ancestors of its own: Think Brideshead Revisited and those nice books by Nancy Mitford. Still, the full name of one of the characters of We That Are Left includes the name Crawford. It's not Crawley, but it's close enough for jazz, as they say.
Howard Frank Mosher's bailiwick for more than 40 years, and the setting for many of his 12 previous books, both fiction and nonfiction, is Vermont's Northeast Kingdom—called God's Kingdom by its earliest settlers. This nickname serves as the title for Mosher's latest novel, which follows the Kinneson family, whose roots in Vermont go back to Charles Kinneson I, who arrived from the Scottish Isle of Skye in the late 18th century. It's mostly the story of Jim Kinneson, who turned 14 in 1952, and began to write down the family stories gradually passed down to him.
For more than 400 years, Shakespeare's works have been performed throughout the world— retold, reinterpreted and reinvented for each generation. Now, the Hogarth Shakespeare series is giving that opportunity to several of the most acclaimed contemporary novelists of our day. British writer Jeanette Winterson is the first to take on the challenge with The Gap of Time, a refashioning of The Winter's Tale. Winterson's own experience as an adopted child gives a special meaning to this story of an abandoned daughter.
Imagine a world in which the economy has tanked, jobs have dried up, society has crumbled, and people are doing anything and everything they can just to scrape by. For most of us, such a cataclysmic state of affairs is all too easy to envision, which makes Margaret Atwood's latest dystopian thriller, The Heart Goes Last, all the more unsettling and eerily prophetic.
In 2012, Claire Vaye Watkins burst onto the literary landscape with her prize-winning short story collection, Battleborn. In Gold Fame Citrus, Watkins follows through on her literary promise with an excellent novel, set in a drought-ridden California in a future that feels alarmingly near.

"Argo" * * * *
This near-perfect thriller from actor-director Ben Affleck is based on the true story of six Americans who slipped through Iranian clutches and hid out in the Canadian ambassador's residence during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-80. Affleck plays CIA agent Tony Mendez, who proposes sneaking the six out of Iran by having them pose as Hollywood location scouts. Real movie folks help pull off the mission in a film that's alternately Hollywood-goofy and nail-bitingly chilling. Rated R; language, violent images. 1 hour, 58 minutes. By Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service.
"The Bay" * * *
Barry Levinson gets in on the faux found-footage horror-film act, telling the story of an environmental disaster through Skype, cell phone video, news footage and more. A former reporter (Kether Donohue) relates the story of what really happened on July 4, 2009, when fish washed ashore dead and birds dropped dead from the sky. Smart and scary. Rated R; disturbing violent content, bloody images and language. 1 hour, 24 minutes. By Bill Goodykoontz, Gannett News Service
"Chasing Mavericks" * *
Jonny Weston stars as Jay Moriarty, the teen who became famous for surfing northern California's legendary Mavericks break back in the '90s. He's mentored during his quest by a gruff elder named Frosty (Gerard Butler. The film proves to be an entertaining dip into a world few have ever experienced. Rated PG; mature themes, perilous action. 1 hour, 54 minutes. By Roger Moore.
"Cloud Atlas" * *
Based on the novel of the same name by David Mitchell, the film encompasses six stories over a span of 500 years. The three directors -- siblings Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer -- have chopped up the various narratives and intercut between them out of order. The A-list actors who make up the cast (Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon) play multiple parts across the various stories. The message? We're all interconnected, and our souls keep meeting up with one another over the centuries. Oooh, that is deep, man. Rated R; violence, language, sexuality, nudity, drug use. 2 hours, 52 minutes. By Christy Lemire, Associated Press.
"Flight" * * *
If "Flight" weren't so exceptionally crafted and acted, this tale of self-destruction and eventual redemption might feel like the sort of feel-good fare you'd see on the Lifetime Movie Network. Instead, director Robert Zemeckis' film is by turns thrilling, engrossing and even darkly funny, anchored by a tremendous performance from Denzel Washington, who stars as a veteran airline pilot and serious alcoholic who despite his issues pulls off a dramatic crash landing. Rated R for drug and alcohol abuse, language, sexuality/nudity and an intense action sequence. Two hours, 15 minutes. By Christy Lemire.
"The Man with the Iron Fists" * *
This wildly whirling martial arts spectacle features an endless array of exotic knives, a penchant for Zen philosophizing and an unquenchable thirst for blood. It may just be one of the best bad movies ever. The flaws are far more amusing than infuriating and its director-writer-star, RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame, is mesmerizing. Rated R; bloody violence, strong sexuality, language and brief drug use.1 hour, 36 minutes. By Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
"The Sessions" * * *
The based-on-a-true-story movie is about poet and journalist Mark O'Brien (a brilliant John Hawkes), who is confined to an iron lung most of the time and is desperate to lose his virginity. Helen Hunt has a down-to-earth grace as the sex surrogate who helps O'Brien achieve his goal. The film is both moving and wryly funny. Rated R; strong sexuality including graphic nudity and frank dialogue. 1 hour, 35 minutes. By Claudia Puig, USA Today.
"Wreck-It Ralph" * * * *
Director Rich Moore's film, about a video-game bad guy (John C. Reilly) who wants to go good, is hilarious, sweet, sassy and smart. You'll love it for sure if you ever played a video game in the past 30 years, but you'll probably love it if you haven't, too. With outstanding support from Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch and Sarah Silverman. Rated PG; for some rude humor and mild action/violence. 1 hour, 48 minutes. By Bill Goodykoontz.

Asia Credit Risk Rises From 19-Month Low, Default Swaps Show
The cost of insuring corporate and sovereign bonds in Asia from non-payment rose after dipping to the lowest in 19 months yesterday, according to prices from credit-default swap traders and data provider CMA.
The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan advanced 1 basis point to 108 basis points as of 8:44 a.m. in Hong Kong, according to Credit Agricole SA. The index closed at 107 yesterday, its least since May 2011, CMA prices show.
The Markit iTraxx Australia index increased 0.5 of a basis point to 121 as of 11:44 a.m in Sydney, Credit Agricole prices show. The index closed at 120.2 basis points on Dec. 18, its lowest since August last year, according to CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
The Markit iTraxx Japan index rose 2.5 basis points to 159 basis points as of 9:34 a.m. in Tokyo, Deutsche Bank AG prices show. The gauge, which has ranged from 136.2 basis points to 229.5 basis points this year, closed at 157.4 yesterday, its least since April, CMA prices show.
Credit-default swap indexes are benchmarks for insuring bonds against default and traders use them to speculate on credit quality. A drop signals improving perceptions of creditworthiness, while an increase suggests the opposite.
The swap contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities if a borrower fails to meet its debt agreements.

After getting directions, Yost visited the homestead, but Handwerk was unsuccessful in talking Yost into donning painter's togs and grabbing a brush or roller while the two talked. Yost said he was in the area on official business, and stopped to visit Handwerk on a goodwill call.

Snow is melting rapidly on the Grand Mesa causing flooding problems in some areas of Mesa County. In some places along Plateau Creek, the water is slightly higher than the banks and water is starting to move into fields.
Residents in low lying areas near Plateau Creek should experience more flooding over the next 24 to 36 hours. The National Weather Service predicts Plateau Creek will likely peak late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
In addition, Mesa County officials are keeping a close eye on a low bridge near Colbrann because the water has risen to within a foot of the bottom of the bridge.

As G8 leaders prepare to gather in Northern Ireland on June 17 and 18, we are reminded of days when American, western European and Japanese officials could credibly claim to set an international agenda. Then came the financial meltdown of 2008, a catastrophe that made unavoidably obvious that most "problems without borders" can no longer be addressed without support from China, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and other emerging powers.Members of the G20 gathered in Washington in November 2008 and London in April 2009 to claim their seats at the world's most important bargaining table.
Yet, despite positive early results - the product of a crisis that appeared to threaten all the major powers at the same time - the G20 has not produced much value. Without the urgency that only a crisis can create, it soon becomes obvious that it's difficult to build agreements that impose costs and risks on 20 negotiators than those that demand compromise from seven or eight.This is especially true for a group that does not share a common set of assumptions about the proper role of the state in an economy, or about the value of the rule of law, transparency and freedoms of speech, press and assembly.
Further undermining these institutions is the problem that voters in countries like US, Britain, Germany, France and Japan expect their elected leaders to focus on domestic challenges rather than problems abroad. The US will remain the world's most powerful country for the foreseeable future, but Washington is now fully occupied with battles over budgets, debt, immigration reform and how to create jobs. European leaders are locked in a struggle to bolster the eurozone. Japan's government has launched an experiment to reawaken the animal spirits trapped inside its once-dynamic economy. Meanwhile, China, India and Brazil are too busy managing the fallout from recent economic slowdowns and edging towards the next stage of their respective domestic development plans to welcome the burdens that come with new international responsibilities.
The result is a lack of global leadership, one that has developed just as growing numbers of transnational problems -Middle East turmoil, intensified territorial disputes in Asia, climate change, conflicts in cyberspace and poorly regulated cross-border financial flows - are gathering momentum. The world needs leaders, those with the power to keep the peace, to persuade other governments to take actions they wouldn't otherwise take, to pay for projects that others cannot afford and to provide services no one else will pay for. There are many countries now strong enough to block international action, but none is both willing and able to bring about lasting positive change.This is not a G7, G8 or a G20 world. This is the era of G-Zero.Because of the expanding global leadership vacuum, the world is becoming more volatile. Fights over commercial and investment rules and the clash between the statedriven and free-market varieties of capitalism are generating frictions between America and China, as hostile exchanges in the undergoverned expanse of cyberspace are making matters worse. In years to come, no ties will be more important for global peace and prosperity than those that bind these two countries, the world's most powerful states, and no issue would exacerbate the G-Zero dilemma more quickly than a dramatic worsening in their relations.
In addition, the risk of confrontation in Asia has grown - between China and Japan in the East China Sea, and between China and several south-east Asian countries in the South China Sea. In the Middle East, Syria's civil war grinds on as Turkey, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar stoke the fire with arms and money and as US, European and Chinese leaders resist pressure for more direct involvement. Spillover from Syria has triggered another surge in sectarian violence in Iraq. Despite a brief French intervention in Mali, Islamist militants are on the offensive from Libya to Nigeria. This is another region in which rivalries among local heavyweights and a lack of leadership ensure that the pain will get worse before tangible progress can be made.
Finally, if a wobbly US economic recovery and a war-weary American public weren't enough to discourage a more ambitious US foreign policy, changes in the US energy sector will add their own effect. Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking", is opening access to liquid energy deposits locked inside onceimpenetrable rock formations, and breakthroughs in horizontal drilling methods are making the technology much more profitable. As a result, US oil imports from Opec producers have fallen by more than 20 percent in three years and natural gas prices inside the US have fallen 75 percent over the past five. The US Energy Information Administration estimates that, by the end of this decade, 80 percent of the crude oil consumed in the US will come from North and South America. The International Energy Agency forecasts that by 2020 the US could become the world's largest oil producer, and that by 2035 the country could be energy-self-sufficient.
This development will exacerbate what I call the G-Zero problem by encouraging Washington to continue to shun deeper involvement in Middle East hot spots. This trend will also shift the balance of power between energy exporters and consumers and help undermine political and economic stability among energy producers with poorly diversified economies. In countries such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, higher prices in recent years and a resulting spike in revenue have allowed governments to protect their domestic popularity with subsidies and other social spending projects. However, as a surge in US supply lowers demand for more expensive Russian natural gas, which earns well over half its government revenue from energy exports, Russia will find itself in a tight spot. In 2007, Russia needed an oil price of $34 per barrel to balance its federal budget. By 2012, the target climbed to $117. Easing demand in Europe will erode Russia's finances in years to come. In addition, though neighbours such as Ukraine and Poland remain dependent on Russia for affordable supplies of natural gas, each appears to have enough shale deposits to eventually kick this habit.
Washington is ready to help. In 2010, the US government created a programme to transfer unconventional gas technologies to countries such as Poland and Ukraine in part to reduce Russia's power over them. That's good news for the US but the destabilising effects of a shift in the balance of market power between energy producers and consumers can also generate shocks from unexpected sources as some of the world's most potentially volatile countries struggle to adapt.Some governments will adapt more effectively than others to the G-Zero and the instability that it creates. Because global leadership is lacking and international co-operation has become all but impossible to co-ordinate, some governments are turning to regional solutions that are more likely to produce results.
China has completed more than a dozen major deals in recent years and hopes to form a commercial bloc that includes the 10 members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean), plus South Korea, Japan, India, Australia and New Zealand. The US has responded with a push to finalise and expand the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free-trade agreement that includes a dozen countries in Asia and the Americas. The Obama administration also plans to begin work on a transatlantic trade deal that will open new areas of commercial exchange with the EU.
This is good news for trade generally. By establishing new and more comprehensive rules for trade and investment, the TPP and transatlantic agreements will set new standards for future global trade talks. Trade agreements of this sort are also likely to undermine less ambitious deals. TPP, in particular, is exacerbating trends visible in Latin America. Chile and Peru are original members of TPP, Mexico formally joined last year, and Colombia and Panama have opened talks to join the club. Most TPP members in Latin America have already signed free-trade agreements with the United States, the EU and even China. As TPP moves towards completion, it will draw these countries (which are already more business-friendly and open to trade than the Mercosur members - Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela) more fully into its orbit. As a result, frictions within Mercosur, particularly between Brazil and Argentina, will both deepen and become more visible.
Diversification has always been an essential tool for managing risk, but in a world lacking clear leadership, one in which shocks have become all too common, governments must avoid over-reliance not simply on one export product, but also on security and commercial relations with a single dominant ally. Growth is good, but resilient growth is better, and the best way to build resilience is to diversify one's friends and partners. Some countries are better positioned to manage this than others.
Though its economy has slowed over the past year, Brazil enjoys an expanding middle class, a broadly diversified economy, ample energy reserves and growing national selfconfidence. Crucially, it also has an increasingly diverse portfolio of trade and investment partners. Trade with the US remains robust, yet Brazil's imports from China have risen
more than twelvefold since 2000, and its exports to China have grown even faster. Four years ago, China became Brazil's largest trading partner, helping Brazil absorb the shock of the financial crisis and US recession.Thanks to still-expanding ties with the US, China and a growing list of other partners, it has become a "pivot state".
Asia is home to a number of pivot states, in part because many of China's neighbours want to avoid too deep a dependence on China and its markets by reaching out to US companies and investors. Indonesia, home to more than 240 million people and a well diversified economy, maintains strong trade ties with China, the US, Japan and Singapore. Vietnam draws most of its machinery from China, its aid from Japan, its arms from Russia and its biggest export market from the US. Singapore has 18 free-trade agreements with 24 separate partners.
Africa, home to the world's fastest-growing middle class, has become a pivot continent. For years, African governments were forced to turn almost exclusively to western institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank when they needed financial help. China has become Africa's largest trading partner, though it still accounts for just 25 percent of foreign direct investment in the continent, and the Gulf monarchies and other Asian states are deepening their interest. Multinational and state-owned companies from developed and developing states now compete for access to African consumers and the most favourable investment terms.Beyond a general diversification of relationships, we have seen the emergence in recent years of a new set of (sometimes unlikely) strategic alliances. Henry Kissinger is reported to have asked, "Who do I call when I want to call Europe?" China's leaders have an answer: when they want to engage Europe, they call Berlin. In fact, China and Germany have the makings of at least a mutually profitable partnership, if not a beautiful friendship. They have a few important things in common. They are export-driven and have the world's two most favourable trade balances, and each champions a "responsible" approach to debt and deficit that sometimes leads them to criticise the profligacy of other powers - particularly the Americans and the Japanese. Each presents itself as a model of efficient governance.
More importantly, both governments have ample incentive to deepen their commercial relations. Germany represents an important destination for outward-bound investment by Chinese firms and the safest debt in Europe. Berlin also has considerable influence over eurozone decision-making and EU foreign policy, and is more willing than London or Paris to avoid direct criticism of China's human rights record. For Germany, China represents an inviting economic opportunity, particularly given the bleak prospects of many of its historical European trading partners. German exports to China grew at an average annual rate of nearly 16 percent between 1995 and 2012.
Next, while US dependence on imported oil and gas is easing, China's is intensifying, forcing Beijing to build new partnerships in the Middle East, as well. The primary beneficiary of this trend will be Iraq. The country's increasingly unstable security environment have given many a multinational oil company pause, but China's stateowned behemoths, which ultimately answer to a single, energy-starved shareholder back in Beijing, are moving in. The Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, welcomes the investment. Given present trends, Iraqi oil will account for more than half of China's imports by 2030 .
Elsewhere in the region, Qatar, a Persian Gulf emirate with a population of fewer than two million people, is using its considerable wealth and growing influence to punch above its weight in Middle Eastern politics. No country has provided more material support for the Syrian rebels, or has proven a more reliable foreign ally for Egypt's government. Qatar has also become much more involved in the politics of other North African countries, such as Tunisia and Morocco. Though technically the Doha-based al-Jazeera, the Middle East's most influential satellite television network, is no longer a state-run company, it remains a willing instrument of Qatari foreign policy.
Finally, there is another emerging power extending its influence in sub-Saharan Africa. Brazil's drive to expand its diplomatic and economic relations on the continent - especially with the resource-rich, Portuguesespeaking Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and S‹o Tom e Pr'ncipe - began to intensify a decade ago under the former president Luiz In‡cio Lula da Silva. Brazil's trade with Africa has expanded by more than 500 percent in the past decade. The country's growth and the active promotion of its own national champion firms has deepened the relationship, as the state-owned oil company Petrobras becomes a critical player in Angola's oil sector and the Brazilian mining champion Vale invests in a world-class coal project in Mozambique. President Dilma Rousseff announced in May, that Brazil would cancel or restructure $900m worth of debt from 12 African countries. The votes of African countries can help Brazil gain influence and may help provide the country with a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.For some countries, making new friends, even in a G-Zero environment, is not so easy.
There are three big unfolding stories in international politics and the global economy: China's rise, Middle East turmoil and the redesign of Europe. The three countries with most to lose from these trends are Japan, Israel and Britain. These three also happen to be America's most reliable allies in the world's three most important regions, yet self-involved Washington can't protect them from the worst effects of these sweeping changes.
China's rise leaves Japan in a tight spot. Access to China's expanding consumer market is critical for Japanese companies, yet Beijing's new foreign policy assertiveness, particularly in territorial disputes involving Japan, is fuelling patriotic fury inside both countries. China and Japan are not sliding towards war, but the growing antagonism between them is reversing progress in their commercial relationship - a problem that will hurt Japan much worse than China. In response, Japanese policymakers want to diversify, to hedge bets on China by strengthening trade and investment ties elsewhere in Asia. Unfortunately, while South Korea has already signed free-trade agreements with the US, the European Union and Asean and has launched talks with Canada, Indonesia and Vietnam, Japan has been slower to diversify its trade ties and remains dangerously exposed to overreliance on Chinese markets.
Japan's decision to join talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership may eventually pay enormous dividends, but that is a long-term project and the country still has near-term economic problems to address. As for its security, while Washington can help defend Japan's territorial claims in the East China Sea, it cannot protect Japanese companies operating in China from the cost of doing business in a sometimes hostile environment. That is the greatest immediate threat to Japan's economic stability.
Israel's anxieties bear more directly on its national security. Syria's civil war has spilled over into Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon. The risk is also rising that Iran, the object of biting sanctions and intense international pressure over its nuclear programme, will lash out in unpredictable ways, including at Israel, using proxies such as Lebanon's Hezbollah, which is fighting in support of the Assad regime in Syria. In addition, Arab states, those that have new governments following the region's recent upheavals and those that resisted demand for change, are eager to safeguard their popularity at home and will try to satisfy public demand for a harder line on Israel. And although Washington will continue to act as the ultimate guarantor of Israel's security, an Obama administration focused on domestic priorities and on expanding its presence in Asia will have fewer resources to spend on helping to resolve the various conflicts taking shape along Israel's borders.
Then there is Britain, where, according to a poll conducted in May by ICM Research, just 30 percent favour continued membership of the EU. If the UK eventually lands outside the EU, it will pay a heavier price than many Britons realise. Shedding many of Europe's rules and regulations and its Common Agricultural Policy would pay early dividends, but waving goodbye to a club whose members buy half of Britain's exports would damage the country's core economic strength, and dozens of bilateral trade deals would have to be renegotiated. Outside Europe, Britain would lose much of its political clout. Even if Britain remains a member, its unwillingness to help shape the eurozone redesign and fully engage on new financial regulations will leave London as a taker rather than a maker of the new rules of the European game. And as Washington eyes new opportunities in Asia and begins work on trade deals with the EU, the relationship with a Britain outside Europe will be less attractive to future American presidents.
Summits can be useful in a crisis. But the G-Zero era of instability has only just begun and the new global order will take shape off camera, the result of decisions made and relationships formed among the leaders of individual states who are doing their best to absorb new shocks and make new friends.

Simon Norfolk - Posted July 12, 2007, 3:13 pm
A few weeks ago D and I went to Look3: The festival of the photograph. Among the things that struck me most was a brief (video recorded) presentation by a photographer who, first showing a picture of himself, explained that as you could see, he was a gay cosmonaut. He isn't, of course, but the picture does make him look that way. In fact, he is certainly not a cosmonaut. I have no data on the issue of his sexuality.
He then presented two series of photographs, both of which I thought were incredibly amazing - second, and less impressive to me, were his photos of mayan ruins, all taken at night, lit up with 20,000 watts of portable lighting equipment. These should be available on the national geographic magazine website soon, but aren't as of yet. They are beautiful. But before he showed those, he showed a quick series of photos he'd taken recreating famous English landscape paintings; not just the composition but the politics.
He has a web site, at http://www.simonnorfolk.com/. The interface is flash, though relatively unobtrusive for that, and excerpts of that series are available, as are others. I just read/looked at most of them, and recommend you do the same.

The New Surge of Open Legal Information on the Internet
Ebbinghouse, Carol, Searcher
"Carol, what do you think about this?" my editor asks, having forwarded me an article about Public.Resource.org and the release of hundreds of thousands of full-text cases, now available for the edification of all Americans at sites such as Public Library of Law [http://www.plol.org]. "Wow, Carol, isn't this good?"
Hmm ...
"Hey, Carol, all federal cases since 1950! State appellate cases since 1997 along with codes, constitutions, regulations, court rules, and what-not. What do you think? Would you like to do an article and compare this to LexisNexis and Westlaw?"
No. Please don't make me do that. It will turn into a puff piece for the commercial databases.
All right, I rely on both the traditionals every day as a law librarian. (And so does my editor through her publisher's advertising revenue.) But while a free, online, public law library is an ambitious project, offering primary legal materials, helpful forms, and other packages, it isn't anywhere near competitive with the commercial services. That said, the release of such large files has great potential for helping laypersons navigate the legal morass.
Will it replace law librarians? Not until it provides much more hand-holding, finding tools, topical explanations, and assistance in tying together seemingly disparate provisions of codes, regulations, and cases, and interpreting them into a cognizable legal rationale and strategy in lay terms.
But it is a terrific start and headed in the right direction.
Free access to a large swath of federal and state court opinions is terrific. Finally, Americans can enjoy the fruits of the labors of the courts. But it doesn't compare with the complete retrospective and up-to-date files of the commercial databases, with their editorial enhancements, sophisticated search systems (using Boolean, natural language, and fill-in-the-blank search options), and citator services to verify that a particular case or code remains "good law."
The Public Library of Law: A Great Advance Forward, But ...
* It doesn't cover the entire volume of federal court opinions (just since 1950).
* State court opinions are only available beginning in 1997. (The PLOL site, funded by Fastcase, charges for older cases.) Or you might find an entire run of all your state's cases on your own state's website for free.
* Federal law--the largest collection at the site--is not the law with which most members of the public have to deal. State law and judicial interpretations of state laws and regulations affect more people's lives than federal.
* It doesn't contain much more than raw data, and librarians know that raw data isn't usually what the people need. In a way, when you look at this new source in comparison to the commercial tools, it seems like the equivalent of comparing a collection of individual medical anecdotes and testimonials about possible cures for this and that with a collection of documented, randomized, double-blind, supervised medical trials, the results of which have been peerreviewed and published with explanations of the process and the applications of the findings to future medical treatment. Having access to myriad "cases" doesn't guarantee finding one on point--either by facts or legal rationale--and applicable to the law of your state and binding on your courts.
The Dangerous Lay Searcher
The lack of sophisticated searching methods isn't the only thing that differentiates these collections of judicial opinions from those of LexisNexis, Westlaw, Fastcase, Loislaw, and others. It is the user. A health sciences librarian/friend of mine calls the lay patrons in her library the "happy but inept searchers." They would hit MEDLINE and other medical databases, search for "cancer" and an organ (probably without its Latin name), get lots of stuff, print a bunch, and leave happy. Did they have the most recent findings from a reputable medical journal? …

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbs (0.08 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This oil is very liquid, odorless. Hair is nourished and non-fat but it is not a pure argan oil. Sis aliejus yra labai skystas, bekvapis, kaip ir bet kuris aliejus plaukus maitina, taciau nera tikras argano aliejus, geriausiu atveju stipriai skiestas su alyvuogiu aliejumi ar vandeniu :)
I used this argan oil on my dry hair and it was way too thick and sticky. it was not smooth at all and it made my hair way too heavy and oily even though I just used the tiniest amount. I have had way better argan oils before. Would not buy again.

This article is based off of the common search term, "Facebook Login .com". It turns out, millions upon millions of people are afflicted with the habit of getting to Facebook by searching this term, and I'm rather enraged by this spectacle.
Did you know, the search term "Facebook Login .com" gets 185 million Google searches a month?
Why is this surprising?
185 million people each month search for the Facebook Login page, for some reason adding ".com" to the search term. Hilariously, they don't realize that to get to the Facebook login page, all they need to do is enter Facebook.com (click the link to go to Facebook) into their URL bar. Typing Facebook login .com into Google and having to click the first result to the Facebook login page is way more work than necessary.
Is it really 185 million people?
Yes, here is your proof:
This image is proof that there are 185,000,000 searches for "Facebook login .com" on a monthly basis.
Let's Take Action:
If you have friends afflicted with the terrible habit of typing unneeded extra words into search engines trying to access the Facebook login page, please inform the necessary authorities as this is a problem that needs serious intervention to solve. After informing the authorities, inform Nancy Grace, because she will obviously be outraged about anything that gets reported to the authorities.
We must get the word out about this terrible illness, so please share this page on Facebook by clicking the Facebook "like" button, which is located on the left side of this page, or share it on your Facebook wall for all to see.
If you are one of those people who actually did type Facebook Login .com into the Google search engine:

NEW BRITAIN — The Rock Cats' run of hitless baseball in 2014 lasted all of two batters.
After getting the first two outs of the spring, Pat Dean, a native of Naugatuck and product of Boston College, allowed a double to Richmond's Jarrett Parker and then a two-run home run to Mario Lisson. The game, which had started so smoothly at New Britain Stadium with two efficient outs, had suddenly come to a halting stop.

Henry Louis Baugher
Henry Louis Baugher (July 18, 1804 – April 14, 1868) was an American Lutheran clergyman and academic. He was President of Gettysburg College from 1850 until 1868.
Henry Lewis Baugher was born in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania to Christian Frederick and Ann Catharine Matter Baugher. His father was a tanner by trade and his paternal grandfather, John George Bager, was a pioneer German Lutheran pastor west of Pennsylvania's Susquehanna River. As a youth, Henry was educated by the Reverend David McConaughy of Gettysburg.
Baugher entered Dickinson College in 1822 and was admitted to the Belles Lettres Literary Society that same year. He graduated as part of the nineteen-member Class of 1826, of which only nine earned a diploma. At the commencement ceremony, Baugher, who received secondary honors, gave the Latin Salutatory Address.[1]
After graduating from Dickinson, Baugher made arrangements to study law under Francis Scott Key, in Georgetown. After his mother's death, Baugher changed plans and entered the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1826. He studied there until 1828, when he transferred to the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg where he stayed for one year and was licensed as a minister. In 1829, Baugher was married to Clara (Clarissa) Mary Brooks.[2]
In 1831, Baugher became a teacher of classical studies at the Gettysburg Gymnasium, which was then under the Seminary. The Gymnasium became Pennsylvania College (now Gettysburg College) in 1832. Baugher was selected as professor of Greek and the Belles Lettres. He served in this position for 18 years, and also served as the Secretary for the Faculty of the College. He was ordained a Lutheran pastor in 1833. His brother, Isaac, became a College trustee in 1844 and gave the College its first bequest.[3]
In 1848, Henry Baugher received an honorary doctorate of divinity from his alma mater.[4] After College President Charles P. Krauth resigned his position in 1850, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted Baugher the second president of Pennsylvania College and later decided to build a home for him and his family. After initially rejecting the position, he accepted and assumed his duties in October of the same year, not to relinquish them until his death in 1868.[5]
Baugher's presidency was noted by his stern disciplinary practices and high standards. According to E.S. Breidenbaugh, Baugher believed "that reverence for superiors, submission to authority, and obedience to the rules and regulations of the College were indispensable to the formation of a good character, he inculcated and enforced the duty of loyalty both by counsel and authority . . . [and] he was proficient in detecting those guilty of misdemeanors and violations of the college laws."[6] According to Samuel Gring Hefelbower, Baugher's severity was "tempered with Christian love."[7]
On November 19, 1863, Henry Baugher gave the benediction at the ceremony opening the National Soldiers' Cemetery at Gettysburg; speaking after Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.[8] Henry Baugher died just shy of his 64th birthday. He had been suffering from an unknown disease for several years, caught a cold, and died ten days later. He is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery in Gettysburg, along with his wife.

We keep our class sizes held to a max number to ensure a personalized experience with plenty of attention and help. Our pride is providing variety, current training methods, creative fusion formats, and amazing trainers/instructors.

The new ride is just one of 25 exhilarating attractions at Hawaii's only the water park, which recently earned plaudits as Best Family Attraction from the listmakers at Honolulu Magazine. At the park, which stretches over 25 acres of verdant tropical landscape in Kapolei, thrill seekers can also tackle slides such as Shaka, an innovative wet/dry ride that sends riders screaming down a 36-foot drop that feels almost vertical. It's not all about adrenaline, though; tamer attractions include the Water World Playground, which features interactive children's activities, and Hawaiian Waters, a 400,000-gallon wave pool powered by artificial waves.

Action Pursuit HawaiiRead MoreFrank Uehara watched as his neighbor, who had just returned from Japan, showed him a new piece of gear—an airsoft gun powered by springs and gas. Frank was intrigued as he held the pellet gun, and began to practice the sport. But as airsoft grew over the next 30 years and Frank continued to pursue it, he came to realize that many airsoft fields were unwieldy for first-time players and saw his chance to change that. At Action Pursuit Hawaii's outdoor field, he provides an easy introduction for first-time airsoft players while also welcoming competitors of all skill levels into challenging play. The facility's safety officials remain on hand to oversee players who blast pellets at competitors and exchange witty Shakespearean taunts from behind the field's giant tilted plastic columns and plywood barricades.400 Farrington HWYKapolei, HI US

unseen struggles in youth ministry
After church today, one of my students smiled and said, �Hey Doug, I�ve been clean for a year now.� Knowing how important a one year anniversary is to a drug addict, I said, �That�s great! I�m so proud of you Stephen. That�s really big�way to go.� He said, �Thanks�now all I�ve got to do is stop smoking pot.� Huh? Was he kidding me?
As I pursued my confusion I found out that Stephen stopped using Crystal Meth one year ago but has yet to stop using Marijuana. This is a kid who never misses church, he�s a great kid and he�s always serving. He�s one of the last to leave the church because he�s picking up trash, stacking chairs, and helping us clean the room. I�m always excited to see him because he�s one of the few students who makes positive comments about my message. Unfortunately, I don�t know him real well, but I get the impression that he has a desire to be closer to Jesus. I like this guy a lot and yet I never knew he was smoking pot every day!
I know what you�re probably thinking as you read this, �Wow Fields, you�re a real sharp youth worker. A regular attendee in your ministry smoking pot every day and you don�t know it. Maybe you should read one of my books titled, Get A Clue.� I know, I agree and I often wonder how I�ve lasted so long in youth ministry.
While I may not always see the signs in students� lives everyday, I have recognized a clear truth in youth ministry over the years � and that is � even after Stephen kicks his pot addiction he won�t be free and clear. There will be other obstacles to him being a fully devoted follower of Christ. With most students there�s always some pain and/or problem looming in their life. This isn�t a Stephen issue, it�s a teenage issue.
If it�s not Crystal Meth, it�s pot.
If it�s not pot, it�s alcohol.
If it�s not alcohol, cheating.
If it�s not cheating, it�s lying.
If it�s not lying, it�s anger.
If it�s not anger, it�s fear.
If it�s not fear, it�s family problems.
The reality is, life hurts! And teenage life seems to be dramatized and amplified and kids need an audience and an ear. Every student in your youth group is a day away or one decision removed from the pain that�s hiding around the corner ready to invade their life.
That�s why youth ministry is so important! Because of the Stephens� in our lives.
It�s also because of the �church kids� who seem to have it all together but are too fearful to admit their pain or to look inside their heart to see what�s hurting. Don�t be fooled, they hurt too. Most students may not have addictions like Stephen, but their hurt is real. This is why churches must find caring adults like you to come alongside teenagers to listen, love, and journey with them.
Bottom line: kids need adults. They need a neutral adult who has the ears to hear the joy of quitting pot, the tender eyes to notice when braces come off, and the mouths to share words of encouragement. These are qualities of a life changer.
- If you�re considering becoming a youth worker�thank you�you are needed.
- If you�re about to give up because you don�t think you are needed�don�t�you are.
- If you�re a youth ministry veteran�thank you for staying with the journey.
The school year is about to begin and along with new beginnings and fresh faces come new needs and pains that are dying to be heard, embraced, and helped.
I wish we had more volunteers at Saddleback Church to be with kids when their life hurts. If you�re struggling to try to meet all the needs of the Stephens in your church�so am I�I get it�I can relate�it�s so frustrating to have hurting kids and not enough adults. I hate it that a kid in my group can smoke pot every day and no one knows because no one is close enough to ask, listen, and care. It�s at moments like today when I come home from church, after teaching a great message, and yet feel like a failure because of Stephen�s addiction and my inability to find enough adults to care.
But, I know tomorrow I�ll feel different. I�ll feel challenged. I�ll feel inspired to help Stephen journey through his addiction and watch him replace his need for pot with his need for Jesus �to trade a substance for salvation. It will happen�that�s why I love youth ministry�God using average people to love teenagers and point them to the life-changing power of God
The journey continues�I�m glad we are in this together.
