Generic Algebras and Kazhdan-Lusztig Theory for Monomial Groups
Date: May 2006
Creator: Alhaddad, Shemsi I.
Description: The Iwahori-Hecke algebras of Coxeter groups play a central role in the study of representations of semisimple Lie-type groups. An important tool is the combinatorial approach to representations of Iwahori-Hecke algebras introduced by Kazhdan and Lusztig in 1979. In this dissertation, I discuss a generalization of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group that is instead based on the complex reflection group G(r,1,n). Using the analogues of Kazhdan and Lusztig's R-polynomials, I show that this algebra determines a partial order on G(r,1,n) that generalizes the Chevalley-Bruhat order on the symmetric group. I also consider possible analogues of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.

Understanding Ancient Math Through Kepler: A Few Geometric Ideas from The Harmony of the World
Date: August 2002
Creator: Arthur, Christopher
Description: Euclid's geometry is well-known for its theorems concerning triangles and circles. Less popular are the contents of the tenth book, in which geometry is a means to study quantity in general. Commensurability and rational quantities are first principles, and from them are derived at least eight species of irrationals. A recently republished work by Johannes Kepler contains examples using polygons to illustrate these species. In addition, figures having these quantities in their construction form solid shapes (polyhedra) having origins though Platonic philosophy and Archimedean works. Kepler gives two additional polyhedra, and a simple means for constructing the "divine" proportion is given.

Uniqueness Results for the Infinite Unitary, Orthogonal and Associated Groups
Date: May 2008
Creator: Atim, Alexandru Gabriel
Description: Let H be a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, let U(H) be the Polish topological group of unitary operators on H, let G be a Polish topological group and φ:G→U(H) an algebraic isomorphism. Then φ is a topological isomorphism. The same theorem holds for the projective unitary group, for the group of *-automorphisms of L(H) and for the complex isometry group. If H is a separable real Hilbert space with dim(H)≥3, the theorem is also true for the orthogonal group O(H), for the projective orthogonal group and for the real isometry group. The theorem fails for U(H) if H is finite dimensional complex Hilbert space.

Infinite Planar Graphs
Date: May 2000
Creator: Aurand, Eric William
Description: How many equivalence classes of geodesic rays does a graph contain? How many bounded automorphisms does a planar graph have? Neimayer and Watkins studied these two questions and answered them for a certain class of graphs. Using the concept of excess of a vertex, the class of graphs that Neimayer and Watkins studied are extended to include graphs with positive excess at each vertex. The results of this paper show that there are an uncountable number of geodesic fibers for graphs in this extended class and that for any graph in this extended class the only bounded automorphism is the identity automorphism.

Complemented Subspaces of Bounded Linear Operators
Date: August 2003
Creator: Bahreini Esfahani, Manijeh
Description: For many years mathematicians have been interested in the problem of whether an operator ideal is complemented in the space of all bounded linear operators. In this dissertation the complementation of various classes of operators in the space of all bounded linear operators is considered. This paper begins with a preliminary discussion of linear bounded operators as well as operator ideals. Let L(X, Y ) be a Banach space of all bounded linear operator between Banach spaces X and Y , K(X, Y ) be the space of all compact operators, and W(X, Y ) be the space of all weakly compact operators. We denote space all operator ideals by O.

Level Curves of the Angle Function of a Positive Definite Symmetric Matrix
Date: December 2009
Creator: Bajracharya, Neeraj
Description: Given a real N by N matrix A, write p(A) for the maximum angle by which A rotates any unit vector. Suppose that A and B are positive definite symmetric (PDS) N by N matrices. Then their Jordan product {A, B} := AB + BA is also symmetric, but not necessarily positive definite. If p(A) + p(B) is obtuse, then there exists a special orthogonal matrix S such that {A, SBS^(-1)} is indefinite. Of course, if A and B commute, then {A, B} is positive definite. Our work grows from the following question: if A and B are commuting positive definite symmetric matrices such that p(A) + p(B) is obtuse, what is the minimal p(S) such that {A, SBS^(-1)} indefinite? In this dissertation we will describe the level curves of the angle function mapping a unit vector x to the angle between x and Ax for a 3 by 3 PDS matrix A, and discuss their interaction with those of a second such matrix.

Dimensions in Random Constructions.
Date: May 2002
Creator: Berlinkov, Artemi
Description: We consider random fractals generated by random recursive constructions, prove zero-one laws concerning their dimensions and find their packing and Minkowski dimensions. Also we investigate the packing measure in corresponding dimension. For a class of random distribution functions we prove that their packing and Hausdorff dimensions coincide.

The Study of Translation Equivalence on Integer Lattices
Date: August 2003
Creator: Boykin, Charles Martin
Description: This paper is a contribution to the study of countable Borel equivalence relations on standard Borel spaces. We concentrate here on the study of the nature of translation equivalence. We study these known hyperfinite spaces in order to gain insight into the approach necessary to classify certain variables as either being hyperfinite or not. In Chapter 1, we will give the basic definitions and examples of spaces used in this work. The general construction of marker sets is developed in this work. These marker sets are used to develop several invariant tilings of the equivalence classes of specific variables . Some properties that are equivalent to hyperfiniteness in the certain space are also developed. Lastly, we will give the new result that there is a continuous injective embedding from certain defined variables.

Determining Properties of Synaptic Structure in a Neural Network through Spike Train Analysis
Date: May 2007
Creator: Brooks, Evan
Description: A "complex" system typically has a relatively large number of dynamically interacting components and tends to exhibit emergent behavior that cannot be explained by analyzing each component separately. A biological neural network is one example of such a system. A multi-agent model of such a network is developed to study the relationships between a network's structure and its spike train output. Using this model, inferences are made about the synaptic structure of networks through cluster analysis of spike train summary statistics A complexity measure for the network structure is also presented which has a one-to-one correspondence with the standard time series complexity measure sample entropy.

Borel Determinacy and Metamathematics
Date: December 2001
Creator: Bryant, Ross
Description: Borel determinacy states that if G(T;X) is a game and X is Borel, then G(T;X) is determined. Proved by Martin in 1975, Borel determinacy is a theorem of ZFC set theory, and is, in fact, the best determinacy result in ZFC. However, the proof uses sets of high set theoretic type (N1 many power sets of ω). Friedman proved in 1971 that these sets are necessary by showing that the Axiom of Replacement is necessary for any proof of Borel Determinacy. To prove this, Friedman produces a model of ZC and a Borel set of Turing degrees that neither contains nor omits a cone; so by another theorem of Martin, Borel Determinacy is not a theorem of ZC. This paper contains three main sections: Martin's proof of Borel Determinacy; a simpler example of Friedman's result, namely, (in ZFC) a coanalytic set of Turing degrees that neither contains nor omits a cone; and finally, the Friedman result.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterised by a progressive microangiopathy that contributes significantly to the morbidity of patients with SSc. Besides insufficient angiogenesis, defective vasculogenesis with altered numbers of endothelial precursor cells (EPCs) might also contribute to the vascular pathogenesis of SSc. However, different protocols for isolation, enrichment, culture and quantification of EPCs are currently used, which complicate comparison and interpretation of the results from different studies. The aim of the European League Against Rheumatism Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) group expert panel was to provide recommendations for standardisation of future research on EPCs. Consensus statements and recommendations were developed in a face to face meeting by an expert panel of the basic science working group of EUSTAR. The findings were: cardiovascular risk factors and medications such as statins should be described in detail. A detailed description of methods considering isolation, culture, enrichment and detection of EPCs should be given. For in vitro culture of EPCs, no protocol has been shown to be superior to another, but coating with laminin and type IV collagen would resemble most closely the situation in vivo. The endothelial phenotype should be confirmed in all in vitro cultures at the end of the culture period. We recommend using CD133, vascular endothelial growth factor type 2 receptor (VEGFR2) and CD34 in combination with a viability marker for quantification of EPCs in the blood. Finally, exact standard operating procedures for fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis are given that should be strictly followed. In summary, the EUSTAR recommendations will help to unify EPC research and allow better comparison between the results of different studies.

Cornelius' bridge to Lake Norman to take two years to build
It will take longer to build the new, $3.5 million diverging diamond interchange carrying Catawba Avenue over Interstate 77 at exit 28 -- two years -- but construction will also be less likely to disrupt traffic because most of the work will be limited to night.

Why is my dog shaking and panting?Chills and shivering are a natural reaction to cold in most mammals, and dogs will experience shivers and chills too. Even when a dog gets wet it may start to shiver and shake. However there are some smaller breeds of dogs that will shake and tremble for no apparent reason. Some of the main dog shaking and panting causes include the dog suffering from a fever or from an outer ear infection. Other causes of dog shaking and panting at night also include the dog suffering from food allergies, the dog getting scared or if it loses its balance. A dog panting is not a sign of any illness as this a technique used by dogs to cool their bodies, since they do not sweat like humans do. Thus when a dog does a lot of running around or playing they will start to pant. This is normal. Sometimes excessive heat can also cause a dog to pant. There are some breeds of dogs that pant excessively like the bulldog and the pug. This is related to the dog's physical structures. Golden retrievers also pant a lot and this is linked to their hair covering. However, an area of concern with even these dogs, is if they are sitting idle and they still appear to be panting and shaking.
Panting is the normal way in which dogs normalize or regulate their body temperature. The skin of dogs does not have any sweat glands, therefore the only way to dissipate the built up heat of the body is by panting. This is a normal cooling mechanism of the dog's body. However, excessive dog panting can be a cause of concern. While it is normal to pant a little due to the heat, it is not normal to be doing it excessively. If the dog has been panting excessively, it simply means that the dog is not well.
When you see your dog panting unusually hard, observe the dog closely and see if there are any peripheral symptoms. If the dog is urinating or drinking excessively and if the dog seems to be nauseated, note down the behavioral changes. See if dog vomiting or passing loose stools. There may be several other situational symptoms such as unusual levels of activity while on a walk. These symptoms can provide vital information to your vet regarding the condition of your dog.
A dog may pant excessively because it is dehydrated. Heat exhaustion is another possible reason for the dog to be panting heavily. As soon as you observe the panting, give your dog some water to drink. This should ease the panting and cool your dog. It there are observable changes in your dog's behaviour after consuming the cool water, your dog may not need veterinary care. However, just to make sure that your dog is now alright, you should ideally give your vet a call.
There is a slight possibility that the dog may not cool off even after drinking water. The dog may refuse water altogether. If the dog refuses water, it may not be suffering from dehydration or exhaustion. The dog may be experiencing respiratory distress. This could also be a sign of an inflammatory disorder and the dog will have to be taken to the hospital immediately. The vet will check the dog panting and observe other symptoms. If the dog is suffering respiratory distress, it will be given oxygen. Meanwhile the doctor will take some additional tests and check for infections and inflammation. If the dog is suffering from an infection, antibiotics are the natural course of treatment. While there is not much you can do to prevent infections that cause such symptoms, to prevent your dog from getting heat exhaustion, always make sure that the dog has access to clean, cool water, especially in summers.
Always remain calm when your dog is experiencing panting. Dogs are intuitive and can sense your emotions. If you become panicked, your dog may become worried. Speak to your dog in a calming voice and offer him comfort while seeking treatment.

Eggs are a staple ingredient in many South Beach Diet-friendly recipes and an excellent source of lean protein and B vitamins. This Easter weekend, why not hard-boil a batch of eggs for the kids' egg hunt and enjoy the rest for on-the-go breakfasts throughout the week? Here's a step-by-step guide to hard-boiling eggs and some creative ways to incorporate them into your meals:
How to Hard-Boil an Egg
- Place large or extra-large eggs in a saucepan two-thirds full of water.
- Slowly bring the water to a boil over medium heat. When the water reaches a boil, remove the pan from the heat and cover. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
- You can peel and eat the eggs immediately or store them in an airtight bag or container for up to a week.
3 Egg-cellent Dishes
- Add chopped hard-boiled eggs to a Cobb salad that features diced reduced-sodium ham or cubed grilled chicken, chopped romaine lettuce and/or watercress, and diced tomatoes and avocado. Top with reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles, if desired.
- Prepare egg salad for one by chopping up a hard-boiled egg and mixing it with 1 tablespoon of regular or light mayonnaise, a little mustard, and some capers or chopped olives. If you're on Phase 1, enjoy the egg salad on top of mesclun or other greens. When you're on Phase 2, have an egg salad sandwich on 100% whole-wheat or whole-grain toast or in a whole-wheat pita or wrap.
- On Phase 2, add slices of hard-boiled eggs to cold cut sandwiches. Toast two slices of whole-wheat or whole-grain bread, spread with mayo, mustard, or horseradish, then layer the eggs with slices of lean deli meat, such as boiled ham, chicken breast, turkey breast, or roast beef. Add tomato slices and lettuce, or other veggies of your choice.

Truthfully though I see this as your version of how the KotOR story unfolds with added detail. I expect my comments will be mostly of the liked it, didn't like it variety peppered with any observations of passages that IMO deviate from the established game story.
I don't have a copy of
Star Wars The New Essential Chronology
to refer to. What involvement did Lucas Inc. have in its publication? I'm curious as to how the author can definitively state that Jaden Korr is male if there is no other source material for the character besides the game. But really I'm not a hard core canon guy. I've seen all the movies (of course
), read the Thrawn trilogy, played DFII: JK, JO, JA, KotOR, and KotOR: TSL and that pretty much covers all the sources of my SW universe knowledge. I plan on reading some more SW books like the movie novelisations and some others
recommended but haven't gotten around to purchasing them yet.
Everything put out about Star Wars is considered canon because it has to be cleared through Lucasarts. If I tried to sell this work without clearing it through them any suit Bioware decided to file would be chuimp change in comparison. That is part of my problem. No agent means no representation, meaning I can't even submit it for consideration.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 12 September 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18470912-TC-JAC-01; CL 22: 64-65
Scotsbrig, Sunday, 12 Septr 1847—
My dear Brother,
I was to write to Jane today; but not yet knowing whether she has actually reached Chelsea, I may as well address myself to you, to whom I owe some kind of note at any rate: you can step down to Chelsea, and communicate if there be anybody there. Jane had a slight word from me yesterday to say that I was arrived and safe, and all well here.
At Manchester, which I reached last Monday afternoon, no creature could inform me as to the Carlisle and Beattock trains; and indeed I found it was for a very good reason,—that, in spite of the Newspapers, there were no trains yet running! I had to go therefore on venture; went on Thursday by the evening mail train to Carlisle, did the remainder in the Glasgow Mail, and leaving my baggage in the Coach-stable at Ecclefn about the hour of midnight, finished my dark pilgrimage on foot under my umbrella, and roused the people here! Poor old Middlebie, poor old native Annandale in general, looked impressive enough, all asleep, in the dead wet silence. I tumbled into bed; and awoke at 9 next morning, just as Jamie's man had got my luggage home; my good old Mother, who had not heard me the night before, stood waiting with her welcome. She is not worse than usual; she is a little better rather; and looks as well, and has as much strength and spirit as I had any reason to expect.
Ever since I have remained abundantly stationary; not walking in all three miles yet, I think, tho' the weather has occasionally been quite bright and inviting. I find this room (the East one) greatly improved by your means; yesternight, in very unfavourable wind and rain, I knocked up your smoke-slider, and found it act almost perfectly, indeed altogether well,—thanks with both hands, to General Wade!1 Jamie is very busy with his harvest; six ricks safely in, three days more to cut with his scythes; and a crop much weightier than he expected before actually entering on it. The weather has been eminently good, for Annandale, and still continues good or hopeful. I have seen nobody here, and done nothing; have therefore no detail of news to give you. Poor unfortunate Mary Carlyle (Harkness) had died, about six hours before my arrival in Ecclefechan; was lying a pale corpse there as I looked out upon it from the Coach-window, had I known what was within it! Here2 illness, or special illness had been of some three weeks, nobody here had heard of it, nor was the end expected till it came. Jamie went to the funeral yesterday afternoon. They were very poor; poor Mary's life was every way a thing which it could be little loss to quit; but life is sweet to all: the poor Husband, lying sick at present, looked over the window, Jamie says, in nightcap and plaid, and "grat [wept]." Eheu!
Grahame, I hear, is building his house, and in joyful health and humour; a quite changed man.3 Waugh was seen lately in quite dilapidated state.4— My Mother sits reading at my back, in this East room she rejoices much at your Dante, trusts confidently to have you here directly after I am gone; which will be soon, I believe, or should be soon. Jenny is well; sleeps with her children in the outer room. All salute you. Adieu, dear Brother, T.C.

"America's Got Talent" entered the Semifinals Tuesday night with nine finalists voted through and three contestants the judges thought deserved a second chance -- Wild Cards, as it were. Now we'll see if America thinks they deserve a second chance (doubtful, considering these acts finished fifth or sixth in the voting during their respective Quarterfinals appearances).
Buddy TV recapped the "America's Got Talent" Semifinals performances Aug. 26, criticizing host Nick Cannon for not mentioning during the Quarterfinals that the Wild Card picks would be revealed on Twitter. Still, Nick might not be entirely to blame so much as the producers and whoever is in charge of cue cards and teleprompters. Given all the other things the host has to do, not to mention participate in crosstalk with judges and finalists, a cue or prompt might have come in handy.
The Wild Cards
Judge Heidi Klum brought back Flight Crew Jump Rope, the jump rope acrobatic team cut during the first week of the Quarterfinals. They're good but they didn't deserve a Wild Card. At the end of their routine, Judge Howard Stern noted that they made several mistakes and at this stage of the game, they couldn't afford them.
Judge Mel B brought back Bad Boys of Ballet, the one girl and half-a-dozen-guy dance team cut during the last week of Quarterfinals. Their routine looked more like something put together for some high school dance recital, and somewhat ill-prepared. Howard was also tough on them, criticizing the lead dancer (the girl) for leaving the stage for 45 seconds (half the act's time). She would later correct him, saying she had been gone for "two counts of eight."
Judge Howie Mandel brought back Mike Super, the Mystifier with the spirit sidekick, Desmond, that Howard Stern told him to lose. So he did for his Semifinals return. He performed an illusion slash card trick where he disappeared from under a red cover, wound up at the back of Radio City Music Hall, and had the image, a triangle, that Howard had chosen from a deck of cards emblazoned on his hands. To add to the illusion, he had people in aisle seats that "felt" him pass by show their hands. There were triangles on their hands as well. The judges loved it and Howard praised Super for listening to him and getting rid of Desmond.
We'll get to see Judge Howard's pick next week.
The Nine Finalists
The other nine finalists can be categorized as the good, the bad, and the boring.
One act was boring. Not necessarily bad, just boring. Surprisingly enough, that finalist was Aerial Animation. A visual aerial act, the act's reliance on the animation playing in the background usually is complimentary, but during Tuesday night's performance, the aerial portion of the act was languid, with long moments of idleness.
Also surprising was that there was only two truly bad performance. That also came from two unexpected sources. The first: Mara Justine. Starting off a little shaky, she got into Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" about 30 seconds in. However, she was more shout and almost no finesse. The judges gave her rave reviews, but once they hit the playback later, they're going to see -- and hear -- that they mis-heard the 12-year-old's performance.
The other poor performance? Paul Ieti. Singing The Back Street Boys' "I Want It That Way," he kept missing the low notes. With possibly one of the best voices in the competition, a combination of nerves and a poor song choice seemed to be the singing soldier's undoing.
The rest of the acts were rather good. Hand balancer Andrey Moraru was a work in muscle control.
Although Judge Howard went after Miguel Dakota as an artist that was missing "something" he couldn't quite grasp, the other judges let the young singer, who performed "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, know that his performance was excellent. Judge Howie told him he could win it all.
Sons of Serendip were musical perfection with their Swedish House Mafia cover ("Don't You Worry Child"). Howard, who was in super-critical mode Tuesday night, said they need to change their name. Howie said they could win, they were so perfect. He said it could come down to a vote between Miguel Dakota and them.
Comedian Dan Naturman made everybody laugh except Judge Heidi Klum. Like Taylor Williamson last season, his jokes did not register with her. Judge Howard hit her buzzer to show that he disagreed with her critique. Of course, it might not have helped Dan's case that he made fun of Germany, Heidi's native land.
Magic act David & Leeman did an illusion with bags, one of which contained a spike. The judges got to choose the bags, one by one, as they flattened them, hopefully not getting a spike through their hands. They were successful, and, as was noted by Judge Howard, even though it is a trick many are familiar with, they were able to do it in an entertaining way that made the illusion all their own.
Emily West pulled the pimp spot for the night. She brought down the house. Judge Howard finally came out of his critical funk to declare her a million dollar act. Give the shock jock judge his due: She performed Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever" flawlessly.
So who will advance to the Top 12? Emily West is a definite lock, as are Miguel Dakota and Sons of Serendip. Mara Justine barely got through in her Quarterfinals performance, and America most likely finds her shout-y as well, so it is doubtful she will advance. David & Leeman will most likely advance, too. Among the Wild Cards, Mike Super could advance, but he'll have a to get past Andrey Moraru. Although Dan Naturman was funny, a couple of his jokes were slow developing and it might cost him his spot in the Top 12.
However, America gets to exercise their Snapple Save. For the first time, "America's Got Talent" will allow a real-time live save of one of the acts by popular vote. The public will then vote online, deciding between the acts coming in fifth, sixth, and seventh in the overall voting. The results will be announced by host Nick Cannon at the end of the eliminations show.
"America's Got Talent" airs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. (EST) on NBC Television.

I have three videos, only two have the same image dimensions. I can playback the videos synchronized using AviSynth:
clip1 = DirectShowSource("leftVideo.avi", audio=false)
clip2 = DirectShowSource("rightVideo", audio=false)
Now, the third video actually has the audio I want to play, and has a different format and dimension from the first two. I can play one of the first two videos with the third video's audio like this:
My question is: How can I play all three videos at once, with the first two videos (leftVideo, rightVideo) stacked horizontally above, and have the third video show both video and audio centered below the horizontal stack?
Bonus: Is there a way to show the third video (audio and video) stacked constantly on the left, and manipulate the right video to toggle between the other two videos (via hotkey)?

The state-run gas developer and supplier, known as Kogas, "will actively seek opportunities to buy good [shale-gas] assets' and will open its first US-based office in Houston by next month, Park Young-sung, executive vice president of the Resources Business Division, said in a weekend interview.
By MIN-JEOING LEE
SEOUL -- Korea Gas Corp. is eyeing shale-gas assets in the
US and expects to invest in a liquefied natural gas project
there that will enable it to import at least another 3 million
metric tons a year of LNG, a company executive said.
The state-run gas developer and supplier, known as Kogas,
"will actively seek opportunities to buy good [shale-gas]
assets' and will open its first US-based office in Houston by
next month, Park Young-sung, executive vice president of the
Resources Business Division, told Dow Jones
Newswires in a weekend interview.
Kogas also plans to invest an estimated $1 billion in Royal
Dutch Shell's Prelude LNG project and at least $2 billion in
the Gladstone LNG project, both in Australia, Mr. Park
Each project is expected to provide the
company with around 3.5 million tpy of LNG, he added.
Kogas owns a 15% stake in the Gladstone project and has agreed to take a 10%
stake in Prelude.
The South Korean government is eager to acquire overseas oil
and gas assets and diversify its energy sources.
It said in December that state-run companies, primarily
Korea National Oil Corp. and Kogas, would invest $7.8 billion
in oil and gas assets in 2012 to strengthen energy
Kogas, already one of the world's biggest LNG importers,
agreed in January to buy around 3.5 million tpy of LNG from a
subsidiary of US-based Cheniere Energy Partners for 20 years
starting in 2017.
Its LNG imports from Australia are expected to soar in
coming years, from around 500,000 tpy now to 7 million tpy from
around 2016, likely making Australia one of South Korea's top
LNG suppliers.
Kogas has no specific plans drawn up or decisions made for
divesting a part of its 15% stake in the Gladstone LNG project
in Australia, Mr. Park said.
While the company has been reviewing the possibility of
selling a part of the stake to other investors - to reduce its
relatively high debt-to-equity ratio - no progress has been
made so far.
"There's no set timeframe" for the potential stake sale and
even if Kogas decides to divest a part of its stake, it won't
affect its plans to import around 3.5 million tons of LNG from
the project, Park said.
In February last year, Kogas said during a conference call
that it may sell around 10% in the Gladstone project to Korean
or Japanese companies.
Papua New Guinea remains another potential source of LNG.
Mr. Park confirmed that Kogas has formed a consortium with
Japan's Mitsui & Co. and Japan Petroleum Exploration Co. to
bid together as strategic partners in InterOil Corp.'s proposed
multi-billion-dollar Gulf LNG project.

Does exporting food cause are food percis to become higher?Well, the idea is if the world price of a good is higher than the domestic, then companies will try to get the world market price, thus raising the price of the domestic market.However, that's only half the story. The other half is it reduces the world price of the good. It sets a new equilibrium.Let's take food, for example, since you brought it up.Let's assume you have two nations in autarky (they don't trade with each other). In Nation A, the price of food is $2. In Nation B, the price of food is $6. The two nations open trade with one another. Nation A's companies are selling food to Nation B. Companies in A see percis rise based on the increase in demand from B. B's companies, not wanting to see their customer base vanish, lower percis to compete. After a while, the new equilibrium of $4 appears. So, the world price of food has fallen, reducing hunger worldwide. True, the folks in A now pay a higher price for food, but the trade with B has brought cheaper goods to their country and/or more jobs is the bustling food industry.Trade is not a one-way street.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

A home town memorial
Relatives and friends of Jill Meagher pay tribute to their loved one in Drogheda, Ireland.PT0M0S 620 349
IT WAS with a simple wish that Jill Meagher's parents and brother farewelled her on Irish soil: ''Looking ahead to that time when we can be with you again and play frisbee,'' the note in the service book read.
Before that service more than 1000 mourners led a silent procession through the streets of Drogheda, Ms Meagher's home town. They walked to the steps of St Peter's Church, where she had been baptised, and watched as close family and friends released six white pigeons in celebration of her life.
In the packed church, Father Oliver Devine, who married Jill and Tom four years ago, spoke of a young woman whose death had touched so many. ''From Melbourne to Drogheda, from Dublin to Perth, from Boyle in Roscommon to Brisbane in Australia, and around the world, all of us have been touched by Gillian Meagher's tragic passing from us,'' he told mourners.

"She has touched the hearts of all of us even if we only knew her for a short time or even if we didn't know her at all apart from what we have learnt from the media.''
Echoing the reflections at the Melbourne service, mourners remembered Jill Meagher as a creative, loving woman who maintained a deep connection with her Irish heritage despite resettling in Australia.
Father Devine recalled how a decade ago, when Jill worked at the Brown Thomas lifestyle store, she had served Kylie Minogue. "She was shocked to realise that Kylie was actually shorter than herself!"
Hometown honors Jill
Almost 1000 people gathered at St Peter's Church in Drogheda, Ireland, for a memorial mass for the late Jill Meagher. The service was presided over by Father Oliver Devine, and took place in same church in which Jill was baptised 29 years ago. Photographer Ciara Wilkinson captured the emotional tribute. Photo: Ciara Wilkinson
Jill was known for her love of music and singing, but even her husband Tom questioned some of her tastes.
In a poem penned for their wedding, which was brought to the altar, Jill wrote: "He taught me that listening to Jewel just wasn't cool; Tried to convince me that Shakespeare was but a fool; After listening to all this waffle I just knew, So I wrote on the back of a Tesco [shop] receipt, I Love You."
Father Devine said that Jill's brutal murder just over two weeks ago was proof that ''bad things can happen to good people and that, this side of the grave, we have no rational explanation why".
A friend of Jill, Roisin Burke, asked for prayers for everyone in Ireland and Australia affected by her death.
''[We] will build upon the positivity shown through Jill's life and continue to treasure the beautiful but fragile gift of life that God has given us,'' she said.
After the Mass, Jill's aunt Catherine McKeon-Halpin told the congregation of the horror the family suffered two weeks ago.
''Her loss has left a hole in all our hearts and words cannot express the pain and sorrow we all feel. Those who knew Gillian will never forget her, her lovely smile, her bubbly character, her charm and most of all her love for life. She had time for everyone and everyone had time for her. All those who knew her, loved her.
''Gillian and Tom set out on a new life together with all the hopes and dreams that young married couples have … a new world lay at their feet and they were going to make it their own.
''All this however was not to be. It was cut short by a despicable act one Friday night that has left us all numb. To our friends and the people of Drogheda, Australia and especially Brunswick who marched in their thousands, you gave our families and me the courage to get through these past two weeks.
''May we offer you our sincere thanks.''

Picture yourself in this situation: you promised to bake something for a bake sale, you have nothing sweet at home for the family, and you'd like to take a treat to a friend who's been ill. You may find yourself wondering "Is there a way to bake just one item to accommodate all of these needs all at once?" My answer?....an absolute "yes"! This brings me to the recipe I'm passing along, which makes a lot so that they can be shared abundantly and that's for "Cowboy Cookies".
This is an old favorite recipe, dating back to at least the 1950's. I think these are called "Cowboy Cookies" because they fit the description of a cowboy: hearty and robust. This is a sturdy cookie so they can be mailed very well, if you would like to send some to someone else. These are hearty oatmeal cookies that are also flavored with chocolate chips and chopped nuts. The real benefit is that it makes a whopping eight dozen cookies! Therefore, you can send some to a bake sale, share some with someone else and still have some for the family to enjoy themselves. You bake just once and accomplish the needs for a sweet treat all at once!
This recipe begins with creaming shortening with brown and white sugars. Eggs go in next, followed by some dry ingredients. Oatmeal, vanilla extract, chocolate chips and chopped nuts go in at this point. Now, you're ready to bake cookies. These are dropped by the teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets and baked . It can't get much easier than this. These cookies are great with a cold glass of milk and will be devoured by your after-school crowd or nighttime snackers.
You'll need a large bowl to mix all of this in, so make sure you have one on hand. If you find yourself not needing this many cookies, the recipe can be divided in half. Another suggestion is to make the whole recipe and set aside what you don't need right away for the freezer. Place in an airtight container with foil or waxed paper between the layers and freeze. They freeze great and thaw quickly whenever you need them.
Recently, I shared two recipes for pies that feed a large number of people. One recipe was for chocolate pies and the other for coconut pies. In case you missed them, here's the link to those:
Hopefully, you won't run into a crisis where you'll need to do a lot of baking at once, but if you do, this recipe will come to your rescue! Just make sure to save some for yourself when you can finally put up your feet and rest!
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups raw quick-cooking oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Cream together the shortening, both sugars, and eggs until fluffy. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder and add gradually to the creamed mixture. Stir in the oats, vanilla extract, chocolate chips and nuts, blending well. Drop by the teaspoon onto greased baking sheets, leaving room to spread. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown around the edges. Let rest on baking sheet briefly, then remove to a large cooling rack to cool. Yield: 8 dozen.

Texas Tech Falls to Baylor, 75-48
Jordan Tolbert was held to six points after five straight games in double figures.
February 9, 2013
WACO, Texas (AP) - Cory Jefferson scored six of his 15 points in Baylor's big game-turning run and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Bears snapped a three-game losing streak with a 75-48 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.
Pierre Jackson scored 15 points, while Isaiah Austin also had a double-double (13 points, 13 rebounds), for the Bears (15-8, 6-4 Big 12), who avoided their first four-game losing streak in four years.
Jamal Williams' eight points were the most for Texas Tech (9-12, 2-8), which has lost four in a row. With no Red Raider in double figures, it snapped a streak of 220 consecutive games with at least one player in double figures.
Baylor went ahead to stay with a 15-0 run in the first half in which Brady Heslip hit two 3-pointers and Jackson made another from long range. The Red Raiders missed 10 consecutive shots during that 5-minute stretch.
Tech then missed its first 10 shots in the second half, while the Bears opened with a 16-1 run to go ahead 53-26.

They may not play in the same division, but just 200 miles separate the Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils, who will take to the ice this week for NBCSN's Wednesday Night Rivalry.
The Eastern Conference rivals haven't met in the postseason in 10 years, but they could be headed for a first-round matchup when the Stanley Cup Playoffs get under way later this month. The Bruins have a good chance to finish either first or second in the conference, while the Devils, currently stuck in 10th place, will have to scramble to earn the seventh or eighth spot.
How do these teams stack up against one another? Let's have a gander:

CEE Morning Briefing: Czech Politics, Polish Inflation Expectations Watched
- Local/GMT
- 0830/0630 Hungary 1Q current account reading
- 1400/1200 Polish June inflation expectations
- 1400/1200 Polish 1Q current account reading
- N/A Czech prime minister designate to hold talks on forming his cabinet
Czech politics and Polish inflation expectations will be in focus Friday.
Jiri Rusnok, Czech prime minister designate, will continue in his talks to form a caretaker cabinet of experts which is due to replace the outgoing government of ex-premier Petr Necas who resigned earlier in June in the wake of a power-abuse and bribery scandal, involving his chief-of-staff.
Mr. Rusnok's government is expected to rule either until early general elections, possibly held in the fall, or until they the regular polls next May.
In Poland the central bank will release households' June inflation expectations likely showing further moderation in line with easing inflationary pressures. The reading is expected to confirm expectations for another interest rate cut in July open. The expectations reading closely tracks actual annual inflation, which eased to 0.5% in May from 0.8% in April.
Hungarian and Polish central banks will also issue readings on their respective current account balances in the first quarter.
SLOVAKIA: German automotive supplier Continental said Thursday it will expand production capacity of a truck and bus tire plant to meet projected mid-term demand for commercial vehicle tires. Continental plans to invest EUR100 million ($130 million) to expand its truck and bus tire plant in Puchov, Slovakia.

Good example of how technology evolves faster than the minds of our elder people. I wonder how, us Snotr's, will perceive technology in 30-50 years from now, given our current understanding of it's development.

Maybe it's possible to use it as toiletpaper too?

Also perfect for cutting apples on. Great commercial!
She: "Hey Dad, I didn't ask you yet, but how do you like the new IPad we gave you yesterday as a birthday present?"
He: "I like."

Obviously, if all else fails,read the directions. If you are capable of making fun of someone who was not handed computers to use in school, and you didn't have to pay form them. You were taught because it was required of you, not because it came to you as a toy. In time,you will be the one who is learning a new device, and you will be in the same spot this man is. I wonder how you will be. Huh. My guess is, your children know more than you.
My dad is 92 and uses his iPad often (and for the purposes intended by the manufacturer)!
A great example of how little use these devices are to most people. They got along without an iPad just fine for decades. Why would they suddenly need one now? People like this guy should be applauded for not requiring to be "plugged in" at all times. He has learned to live life without needing all those money pit gadgets and is probably much happier in life because of it. Most people who consider themselves technologically savvy are actually creatively challenged because they lack the ability to entertain themselves without the use of flashy and colorful pixels to create their day for them. You can never experience something by reading about it online.
21. Sizzlik (admin) 4 years ago
#20 you realize that its a joke from a tv show? My uncle with almost 60 year of age uses such gadgets..and enjoys the tech of today. (and you said a bit about yourself too with your comment)
Why so serious? ..as the joker would say.
#20 Wait, aren't you on some inane video site on the internet using flashy and colorful pixels to entertain yourself because you lack the ability to create your day without them? The computer you're on is no different than any of the money pit gadgets you're so offended that other people use.
This was great I like how she became speechless when she noticed what he was using the I-Pad for.

I will be more than happy to stack my toys up against yours, both now and in the distant future, when you get to be my age (assuming you ever get to be my age after making such asinine statements as this one). I will also test my general knowledge against yours any day of the week, including weekends.
Shame some idiots use this funny video as a way to make inane and stereotyped comments about people older than them. FYI this link was texted to me by my 85 year old father.
I am a "mature" adult and needed help to learn to use a cell phone and thought this was really funny...simply because I could identify. Granted I would know enough to recognize it as a tech toy and set it aside to ask a grandchild to help me but the clip sure does resonate with the frustration my generation often feels with new technology. Laughed out loud. Funny!
Absolutely hysterical - no I don't understand German but I sure understand the video! I am on my second iPad and almost died watching this!
I wonder if this will seem so funny four or five years from now? I can make more for old imac's by gutting them and making fishtanks than I could get leaving them running. I've got a booting macintosh that's probably going the same way. In about 5 years this will probably be the most effective use for an ipad. Corning glass has an investor presentation on You Tube called 'A Day Made of Glass'. These content viewers aren't gonna be the bricks they currently are too much longer. Google's coming with the "glasses" already. And notice that even in the slick Corning production the content is being viewed and shared but not produced. Nobody is making their ipad app on an ipad. Maybe the father knew all along what it was supposed to be for and still chose to use it that way. I quit bothering to learn phones years ago. No point when your likely to end up with something very different in a year or so.
I found the humor in this immediately, recognizing this as a spoof. I think humor is lost on the younger generation to a large degree.
It is just a matter of what you do for a living and how curious a soul you are. When I was born, there were no color TV's yet, however at age 65, I have been using computers on a daily basis since 1971; 41 years (probably longer than most of you have been alive). From IBM mainframes, to PC's to my favorite "The very smart Phone" small and does everything! And I love my 6' X 6' X 1 inch thick TV that hangs on the wall that I have been talking about wanting all my life.
I wash it all the time, and my iPad works better for it--and with no finger prints! Apple products simply can't be beat. And my freshly washed iPad brought top dollar when I sold it and picked up a 2nd iPod. (An iPod is a better camera, it fits in my shirt pocket while I'm tread-milling while listening to music, and I don't mistake it for a cutting board!)
Regarding the previous comment--maybe it's because I'm older (there weren't even black and white TVs when I was born)--but where's the humor? The guy was either routinely washing his iPad, or he's a movie-maker who confused his editing screen with a kitchen cutting board. There's an app with a GPS sensitizer and SIRI activater that says:"I'm an iPad, not a cutting board, you idiot!" But I would never install an app that: 1.stopped me from cleaning my iPad, even by accident; 2. insulted my intelligence; 3. cost me 99 cents.
I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night when I asked if I
could borrow a newspaper.
'This is the 21st century, Dad, old man,' he said. 'We don't waste
money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPod.'
I can tell you, that bloody fly never knew what hit it...........

As the new owner of an iPad, I loved the humor...
It's not comedy, this is from a typical day in IT Support. Comedy would be if they exaggerated.
45. JeffreyVan 4 years ago
Typical high-tech story. Bravo to the old man for NOT knowing what an iPad is. I am a prolific genius inventor (you probably use some of my devices everyday and don't even know I invented them) and my direct experience with most high-tech techies is that they cannot even fix their own malfunctioning toilets. They are all just a lot of virtual reality fluff-and-puff.
The vegetables he's chopping will help him live a longer and healthier live, that iPad will not!
This video is funny but the joke is on the rest of us; the ones who can't let go of their personal electronic devices and in the meantime our life is going down the drain.
This must be the video of the prototype, tested in Germany known for their "Deutsche grundlichkeit".

#38 I just turned 62 and I, too, grew up in a one, black and white television home. We were so excited when my mother bought this 'clicker' thing and she could turn the tv on and off (she was in bed with a back injury). I remember when talk about a TV set that could be hung on the wall like a picture made the news! Oh, I could not wait to buy THAT! 30 years later, the flat tv has arrived, and guess what....I can't afford one.. But, I'm happy they exist. MY daughter bought an IPAD which I enjoy in my limited way. Now, she's determined to replace my broken Blackberry with the iPod 4. Wish me luck!

Don't let Samsung see this !!!!!!
Funny vid.
My grandmother got an iPad for her 80th birthday and loves it. Uses it to Skype her grand kids, send emails and read the news.
Goes to show the power of intuitive technology, although I agree it will be interesting to see how WE handle new technology in 50 years...
The dad will have the last laugh. But for the expense, he's shown what an iPad is good for - better spend the money on a real computer, Apple, PC, or Linux, IMHO.
Will someone please tell me the meaning of the name of this website? From an English-speaking point of view it looks, well . . . questionable.

#59 look here http://www.snotr.com/faq
Thank you. I thought it was an acronym. I sent my cousin the link and he didn't want to open it because of the name "snotr." I assured him the video was not offensive.
Dont underestimate us oldies we brought you kids up didnt we and were still sane although we get our revenge on you by changing the behavioural patterns of your kids and then handing them back to you Chuckle !!!
I think the "dad" was just being difficult with his daughter.....if he watched TV or opened a newspaper he would have seen an Ipad advertised.
Another example of new technology in the Computer age.....In the late 80's and 90's I used to set up PC's in my Engineering Company and never forgot the call from a user complaining about the cup holder on his tower. It seems the darn thing closed with his styrofoam coffee cup on it and spilled coffee on his slax and shoes. I had to break the news to him that it was a new fangled invention called a CD player and not a cup holder. He was one of the Supervisors in that department.
A lesson learned then and now is very simple. Never ASSUME the recipient of the Computer device actually knows everything (or anything) about that device when you present it to him/her.
Technology can be dangerous!
Ausgezeichnet. I teach German in u3a classes & have shown this to many of my students. Knowledge of German is not needed & my granddaughters(6 &10 yr. old) also laughed at it. They both have I pads which they take better care of!

Re Ravez in comment #1:
Ravez can be as condescending as he likes about "our elder people."
But most of them had a strict enough education in writing English that they would *not* make the same three common mechanical/punctuation mistakes that Ravez made.
68. Goldengalaxy 3 years ago
It's not making a statement derogatory to the elderly, it's just good, clean humor. Would it have been funny if it was a child helping their Mom in the kitchen? NO
VERY FUNNY! Thoroughly enjoyed this tho I am 82 years myself. My sense of humour hasn't gone stale.
I thought this was an ad done by a UK national opticians, albeit spoken in German.

Fort Collins knows how to have fun.
And in an effort to consistently keep things fresh, a group has developed the "Fort Collins Passport".
What is this passport, you ask?
It's a booklet full of two-for-one coupons for drinks at 28 Fort Collins bars.
As their website fortcollinspassport.com explains, the reason for the passport is, "To get you out and exploring Fort Collins! Try new places. And treat a friend to a drink (there's a reason why it's two-for-one...)"
That's precisely why Diddy, a Colorado native and longtime resident of "Fort Fun" bought his.
"It's going to give me the reason to go to all these bars I've never been to," Diddy said. "That's exactly the point."
"The best example is Elliot's is on there. Elliot's has drinks that are $8, $9, $10 a piece. So if I buy a $10 drink, got buy one get one free, so I get it (the Passport) paid off in one use. This thing could be more valuable than anything I've ever bought," he continued.
High praise for the cool new Fort Collins Passport.
And, since it's a relatively new concept, friends were excited to hear about this awesome deal.
"I showed it to 10 people today and everybody was super grateful I showed it to them," Diddy finished.
The Passport is a summer-long deal with 28 participating Fort Collins bars, which goes from this weekend (May 23) through Labor Day (September 2) and they can be purchased for $10 through fortcollinspassport.com.
Happy drinking and keep it classy, Fort Collins.

The ricochet effects of Bill Haslam's words to the Tennessee Firearms Association have gone every whichaway, but Haslam's position is that his position on guns hasn't changed.
The Knoxville mayor and Republican nominee for governor in the Nov. 2 election said Monday he is a little surprised by the continued reaction to recent remarks he made on concealed carry gun permits. But he said his belief that the law should stay the way it is now has not been altered in any way.
"I've been campaigning for two years. I think I've been real consistent in what I'm talking about in terms of what I am going to do as governor," Haslam said.
Haslam told the TFA recently that if the General Assembly sent him a bill saying people do not have to have permits to carry handguns he would sign it, although Haslam said he favored leaving the law the way it is.
Knocking on doors in southern Davidson County on Monday, Haslam saw inconsistency in the way the subject has been treated.
"I feel like the media, quite frankly, is always saying the legislature talks too much about guns -- too much about guns. Now all of a sudden all anybody wants to talk about. . . What you've heard from me for two years is that what I'm going to be focused on as the governor is jobs, the budget, education, all those things," Haslam told reporters.
Haslam's Democratic opponent, Mike McWherter, has seized on what Haslam told the gun group with a new television ad, and newspapers -- including some who have endorsed Haslam -- have taken him to task in recent days.
"If Haslam as governor would sign anything the legislature passes, what other opportunities to lead would he forfeit?" The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, which has endorsed Haslam, asked.
The Tennessean in Nashville, which also endorsed Haslam, said Haslam's comment was "irresponsible" and said it reinforces "a gun-culture that most business leaders say is detrimental to the state and something that nearly all law enforcement professionals in Tennessee oppose."
Haslam was asked Monday if he regretted anything about the way he has handled the issue.
"Obviously, I could have communicated more clearly," Haslam said. "Interestingly, a lot of people misinterpreted it both ways."
He said his campaign has received calls from people who believe he wants to take away their handgun carry permits.
"So obviously, I just didn't communicate real clearly that day about exactly what my feelings were."
Gun issues have hounded the Haslam campaign throughout the year. Haslam has repeatedly had to answer to critics who take exception to his membership at one point in Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group normally associated with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and considered not to be friendly to gun advocates. Haslam has said the mayors group got away from his original understanding of its mission.
So he has been under watch throughout the campaign for anything he says on gun rights. Haslam has insisted he supports Second Amendment rights to bear arms. He has not made Second Amendment rights a priority in his campaign, choosing instead to concentrate on the economy, jobs and the status of the state budget.
But gun issues have come to be a major point of debate in the Tennessee General Assembly in recent years and heavily covered by media outlets, especially with the controversial "guns in bars" bill that Gov. Phil Bredesen vetoed but saw the legislature override.
Haslam repeated his view Monday that he does not believe the legislature would go so far as to lift requirements on gun carry permits. He said he had had a brief conversation with Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, a strong gun-rights legislator, in which Haslam said they shared a good-natured exchange about the flap, but he said Ramsey did not express any interest in that conversation in pushing such legislation. Ramsey has been quoted as saying he would support such legislation, however, taking much the same position as Haslam.
Haslam said he does not own a gun, but he said he gave his son, Will, a gun for Christmas.
"I don't play a lot of golf either," Haslam said.
He was also asked if guns owned by employees are allowed on the property of Pilot Travel Centers, of which the Haslam family is part owner, and he said he did not know the answer.
"It never came up in the 20 years I worked there," he said. "I really don't know."

A vehicle carrying four passengers, including one 2-year-old boy from Coarsegold, slid and rolled approximately 50 feet down an embankment off Fresno Flats Road (425B) Tuesday afternoon, about a quarter mile south of the road's intersection with Highway 41.
The toddler -- Marcus Fetty of Coarsegold -- was not injured. The driver and passengers received minor injuries.
The driver of the 2006 Ford Fusion, 20-year-old Stacey Vogeo of Oakhurst, was not under the influence, reported CHP on scene.
CHP reported Vogeo was driving at a high rate of speed, heading up 425B towards Highway 41 on the wrong side of the road at about 2:15 p.m., when she encountered a Madera County Probation Office vehicle traveling eastbound, down the road. Vogeo swerved and went down the embankment. The Ford rolled and landed upside down. Vogeo was found to be at fault, CHP said.
Vogeo was carried up the embankment on a stretcher by emergency responders, including those from Station 12 in Oakhurst, Ahwahnee Cal Fire and Sierra Ambulance.
Passengers included Oakhurst 17-year-olds Matthew Costilla and Kody Perien. The accident remains under investigation.
"People have to slow down, especially on mountain roads with blind curves," said CHP Sergeant Ed Greene.
About a half hour later, another vehicle slid 15 feet down an embankment just south of Mormon Road on the west side of Highway 49 in Mariposa County.
"The driver drifted off the road and over-corrected for it and went across the highway and down the bank, and came to a stop," said Captain Jerry Riggs of Station 16 in Ahwahnee.
The man was not injured, Riggs said. The incident remains under investigation.

Titanium ore farming has been on the rise ever since epic gems were announced by blizzard in the next patch 3.2 and the fact that prospecting titanium ore will produce these gems. How many and how often is anybody's guess, but this simple announcement has created rampent stockpiling of Titanium ore by savy speculators on every server.
A side result of the Titanium farming is the mass flooding of extra saronite bars onto the auction house. Many see this as a negative: lower priced saronite bars means more blue gems being prospected and thus lower prices for gem sellers.
I see this as a great thing for crafters. If you're quick at buying out saronite bars now when they drop too low then you will allow yourself to craft blacksmithing items much cheaper than the competition.
Eternal belt buckles, saronite weapons, saronite pvp gear, etc are all going to be cheaper to make. If my manage to buy out the saronite ore as it comes in then the prices of these goods will remain the same whlie you manufacture them for even cheaper and thus make even more gold than normal. Always look into disenchanting items after creating them to see if buying saronite bars for various blacksmithing greens will be worth it to craft and disenchant.

Hmm, my server must be the only one where Saronite prices have gone up instead. And there's definitely more of it.
Indy said... July 30, 2009 at 9:41 AM
I'll have to keep an eye on this... I've actually managed to buy a lot of saronite bars via vendor scans on my server, about 20g a stack. (Used a lot for personal Mammoth Cutters.) Yesterday I caught a guy in trade wanting 15 stacks, and there was none in the AH; got a nice bit of profit there.
Bill said... July 30, 2009 at 10:02 AM
It also makes it a good time for Alchemists to blow their Titanium Bar cooldown regularly.
outdps said... July 30, 2009 at 10:04 AM
Just an FYI- saronite ore should have a hard minimum price of 12.5g a stack- anything less and you can smelt the ore and vendor it for a profit.
Khalli said... July 30, 2009 at 10:15 AM
I've seen a huge reduction in price of ore, but not bars on my server, which I'm exploiting to great effect
Jennifer said... July 30, 2009 at 10:31 AM
I take the uncommon prospected gems +earth and turn them into jewelry to d/e, but I can't find any other way to make cheap dust out of this ore boon.
Saronite Dirk (BS) or Snow Goggles(Eng) are the best ways to get shards out of Saronite that I've found.
Twan said... July 30, 2009 at 12:54 PM
I am getting some very good prices on saronite ore.

in my server saronite bar and ore have gone up. Actually all the ores and bars have gone up. Tin, Iron, Mithril, Thorium, Fel Iron, etc.
I am just selling like crazy. Thorium bars and ores 88g per stack, same with saronite bars and ores.

I've had a crash of the saronite prices. Today I bought about 40 stacks of saronite for 10g per stack by some DK. It will be nice to have for my JC leveling.
