Eight-year-old girl raped by four boys. Her father blames her, doesn't want her back. Fresh from Liberia, it seems, where this is the controlling ethos, but why are they here?

Newspapers fight back
The Associated Press, owned by 1400 newspapers in this country, wants bloggers (and Google) to stop doing this. If you link to their content they want payment. The counter argument, that links drive readers to their member papers, doesn't seem to mollify them because they can't seem to make money from readers. Well if it happens, my guess is that bloggers will work around it. Blogging became a worldwide phenomenon on September 11 and the days and weeks after that tragedy, as readers wanted the latest news and scoured the world internet to find it. Individual papers never understood that desire or responded to it: for example, Greenwich Time updates its web site once a day, after the print version has been set. That's typical, and readers are no longer content to wait 24 hours for updates. So I think this is just one more losing battle in conventional journalism's doomed battle to survive.

President Obama apologizes
The Prez called the Cambridge officer and apologized. That was good enough for the officer, it ought to be good enough for all of us. There are enough problems facing our country. Besides, it's a class act for the powerful to admit they're wrong. Good for Obama.

Here's one to watch
This huge (13,000 sq.ft.) house was listed at $8 million in 2006 and I never thought it would sell for anywhere like that amount – not on Mohawk Lane, off of Stag Lane, off of Stanwich and in one of the less convenient areas of town. It took years but it did sell, and for $7.5 million. Shows what I know.
And now I may be about to be shown up again because it's back on the market for even more, $7.850 million and I still don't think anyone will pay that much, four-car garage and elevator notwithstanding. I mean, couldn't I at least get a pool for that kind of money?
But we'll see. Someone liked it enough to pay through the nose for it last year and maybe there's another ..er, "buyer" waiting in the wings now, too.

land values sinking
I haven't seen 109 Dingletown Road yet because it just came on today but it's 1 1973 builder's special with a weird layout (just 2 bedrooms upstairs, for instance), no updates and those magic code words "not a drive by" which of course means, it is a drive by – keep going. But it's on 2.3 acres of land so it must be worth something as a building lot. Its assessed value is $1.9 million so someone in the assessor's office thought it was worth a fair bit of change a few years ago. Its opening price today is just $1.649 – significantly down from where it would have started in 2005. And where it ends up ….

Obama channels Nixon: it's the media's fault!

My 15 year old little brother is starting out programming, and he wrote a neat little program that outputs all combination of letters and numbers that are six digits or less. His code was a sextuple-nested for loop that updated the elements of a six level char array. It looked bad, but was certainly fast! I showed him how to do a simple count, and convert those numbers to base 36.
The biggest problem is that my code was so much slower than his, due to the division I was doing. Is there a way that I can simply assume base 36 and output a count from 1 to 36^6?
Ideally, I'm looking to do something like
[base 36]
for(int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)

Q: I am about to turn 62. I am trying to decide if I want to retire and take my Social Security now; or wait until age 66 to get higher benefits. I know everyone has to make a similar decision.

I am wondering: Can I file for her Social Security now and defer my own until age 66? Or can I "file and suspend" my benefits so that she can get hers?

Sustainable Consumption: Methodical Concepts and Case Studies
Over the past decades, environmental policy discussions tended to focus on the negative impact of production processes on the environment. Sustainable development as a subject and holistic approach became a scientific and political issue only at the Rio Earth Summit of 1992. Since then, consumer behaviour and lifestyles have been increasingly recognised as determining factors for sustainable development. Consumer structures influence production processes and they are responsible for the consumption of resources. Growing consumer demand not only places a burden on the environment since satisfying that demand means an increase in material and energy consumption, but it also leads to increasing amounts of waste. Considering the overall economic importance of private consumption, it is indispensable to change consumer structures if any sustainable development is to be achieved. The steps necessary to refocus consumption processes and the methodological framework of ecological-cum-economic information systems are discussed in the pertinent literature, but no quantitative treatment has yet been supplied. Analysing sustainability within the scope of private consumption opens up a wide area of research, in which a variety of approaches is used to study the far-reaching ecological (as well as social) effects of private consumption behaviour. Both in the theoretical literature as well as the studies that concentrate on implementation, the emphasis is on reorienting demand structures. When it comes to implementing economic structures which are viewed as compatible with sustainable development, the discourse has so far been mainly concentrated on the direction in which restructuring consumption patterns is desired: maintaining the present welfare level while reducing the flow of materials and sensitive substances.

A preliminary autopsy report confirmed that Hunter Ingalls had a heart attack.
In fact, it seems, his heart ruptured. I prefer to believe that it burst because it could not contain his spirit any longer. He had to be everywhere, because to receive back all that he had given would have been overwhelming. It has been overwhelming to us, his family.
It is beyond words to say, except to thank each of you who particpated with us in celebrating Hunter, in whatever way - and there were so many ways that we know of and many that we may never know.
Thank you for recognizing Hunter and his gifts. May that recognition serve you as it has us - to free your heart to see the depth and breadth of community that is always present to be realized, and free your spirit to soar.

Released: Mar 01st, 1999

Director: Meghan Chavalier
Company: Devil's Film
Distribution Companies: IVC
Cast: Drew Andrews, Peter Wilder, Gina (I), Meghan Chavalier, Geneva, Kimberlin DeVine, Brandy (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA

Not the very best of the breed but worth a recommendation for the T/V-T/S viewers.
When you get to hell you'll never get fucked by the same she-male twice. Scared of the afterlife yet? Me neither.
The demonic sex is well done, but pretty standard; however, the ejaculation quotient is heavenly! Brandy cums all over her belly. Geneva cums on her Nordic-soul-of-the-damned's ass cheeks, Meghan and Kimberly enjoy a vibrator and double ejaculations and the fun just keeps a-poppin'. Gina is especially stunning on this tape.
Thumbs up for introductory name credits before each scene -- but how about adding the names of the men involved next time?

~ღ♥ very beautiful ♥ღ~ +fav
woah!seriously?You took that pic?I've seen it on her fb page!♥

Some achievement?
To be playing as badly as we have, for many have written us off as also rans, and to be a side full of poor players, that we are ONLY six points off of top after 10 games. Spurs have been improving, and are rated, City are shoe ins for the top four. BUT we are still thereabouts, having been wretched at times, especially recently. I can't remember a worse start to a season, set against initial expectations.
It doesn't change much I suppose. In many mids we are as likely to go away and lose to Fulham next week as we were to win yesterday. Many still want Rafa sacked. Most still want Lucas sold (I thought he was our best player yesterday and was everywhere on the pitch).
I look at it that we can only get better. I don't care about Lyon, or Arsenal midweek. My mind is on Fulham next week, and our league form. Arsenal may well beat us on Wednesday, given their kids have more experience than our kids (pacheco, spearing, kelly all set to start). Lyon away is going to be difficult, and we need to win, so may well get caught on the break. BUT we need Torres and Gerrard rested for the league and only the league.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

As great as the Man U win is for Liverpool, Fulham away will be the ultimate test for your lot. If Liverpool can pass that test with flying colours and come away with 3 points on Saturday, then ending the season in one of the top 4 spots is 65% guaranteed. If not, I expect City/Spurs/Villa and Liverpool to battle for the final CL place.
I think the over-reliance on Gerrard and Torres is Liverpools main downfall, you need to have at least 2 other decent players in the squad who can be equally relied upon when those two aren't a good game which they will from time to time. Having adequate replacements for your key players is very important to challenge in all competitions, this is a key weakness area where urgent attention is needed by Rafa.

Don't agree that Fulham is a must win otherwise its goodbye top 4, but I do think it's important to follow up strong as a show of our intent. Actually while the league is going to be a steep hill to climb if we still want to win it, it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Both Chelsea and the Mancs are beatable, and not only by other top clubs, so expect the eventual title winner whoever it ends up being, to do it with one of the lowest shares of the points in a while.
But on the so called 2 man team thing, don't you think this one is getting old yet? Of course both Gerrard and Torres are world class players, and well above the level of anyone in our squad who'd come in to replace them. But that is true of many clubs. Take away 2 of their world class (if they even have 2) players and see what they look like?
But in our case it's even amplified because they both play such a similar role for us. Yes Gerrard is still listed as a midfielder, but is essentially a second striker these days, so is more likely to play alongside or behind Torres than sitting in central midfield. So take my previous question and take two away from the same position: two central defenders, two wingers, two central midfielders, or in our case two world class strikers.
"If Liverpool can pass that test with flying colours and come away with 3 points on Saturday, then ending the season in one of the top 4 spots is 65% guaranteed. If not, I expect City/Spurs/Villa and Liverpool to battle for the final CL place. " Only Slayer can come up with something as stupid as this. How can you guarantee something with 65% is beyond me. But it gets even better, if you lose this game, that's it, forget top 4 finish.
Slayer, you know f*ck all about football. You keep embarrassing yourself yet you haven't got a clue, do you.

I think it's time for a clear out and only have Torres, Mascherano, Riena, Gerrad, Carragher, Johnson, Aqualani remaining..
Then buy the best we can get for the rest of the positions including money from H&G..

I think that's a great idea except you'd only have about tuppence ha'penny to spend on the rest of your squad.
so no agger, kuyt, insua, benayoun or riera? as everyone says we need more strength in depth we so surely we should come these players, even skrtel and aurelio as well, to give us that strength in depth?
Not sure I understand the question but is the answer Lampard?

Colin, I think your trying a new tactic, and I've got to admit its reaslly confusing me.
You don't predict matches, other than the Manc one becasue you got it right? So does that mean all your predictions are correct, or that anytime you are wrong, you somehow erase the fact you made a prediction?
Also, I'm trying to figure out what excuse I made. I know I write long posts sometimes, so maybe its hidden in there somewhere, but I just can't find it. All I did was say its not a must win game, which is what the poster I was responding to was trying to say. I hope we win, I think we will win, and I'll be gutted if we don't win. But just as those who've now discounted the Manc win keep saying, its just another possible 3 points.

..WTF planet are u on now..............im not the idiot announcing ''im off the boards for a few days'', yet posted for most of them..
Torres, World Class.................NO............NO..............NO....not yet.
let him prove himself top scorer in the EPL, consistantly, then yes he can be classed as
Remember this and its a big thing you novice fans tend to neglect, someone can be in the top 2 in the world as you say right now, but still not be called WORLD CLASS, that may well just be indicative of whose around at the minute.
..Torres has amazing ability and potential, let him prove it consistantly....Rooney is world class over Torres so far, thats the bench mark.
Anyone But United Anyone But United Oct 28, 2009 04:59 Flag
Using the criteria you mention, the English world class player you mention is Lampard. He finished runner up to Ronaldinho a few years back.
The other one would be Torres, who finished third last year behind Ronaldo and Messi.
Liverpool have 4 World class players in Reina, Gerrard, Mascherano and Torres
Chelsea have 5 in A. Cole, Terry, Essien, Lampard and Drogba
Man U have 4 in Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra and Rooney
Arsenal 2 in Fabregas and Arshavin
City have 2 in Tevez and Robihno
And thats it!
Robert, I think we saw last year, that Chelsea without Essien available for much of it, were unable to finish above United or even ourselves. If you pushed Drogba into that equation too, without Essien and Drogba, I certainly think we'd beat you more times than we'd lose out of 10 matches or so. With them i'd expect that you;'d beat us more times than we'd get the result....United likewise take away Rooney and Ronaldo. LuckilyUnited have willingly sold one of those for us already:-)
Take Fabregas and Walcott out of Arsenals side (as last season when they struggled).
On the other note, my definition of world class is to be in the top three of your postion in the world. Up front you'd have Torres, Drogba and Ibrahimovic for me so far this season. Creative centre midfielders, probably Gerrard, Xavi and Iniesta, defensive midfielders, Essien, Senna and Mascherano, Centre backs probably Chiellini, Terry, and Vidic (despite Torres being his nemesis) and keepers, Buffon, Casillas, and I'm going to say Reina, (the third spot is soooo arguable), In the wide positions, there is a bit of a weakness in world football IMO. Ronaldo and Messi of course. after that pick your own, and at full back, the vain lad at Barca who's had his ears pinned back, Ashley Cole possibly, after that again, its very subjective. The spine of the team though is fairly easy to pick.
Oh: and for the united fans......Rooney IS NOT world class yet. He's very good. But someone who has lived in Ronaldo's shadow for season after season, who hasn';t for me dominated a BIG game yet, and where most of his best flashes came as a youngster just arrived at United, and with England in 2004, I wonder if the best has been coached out of him. Rooney needs positional discipline and an awareness of how he can cause most damage. I think he CAN get there, but he's not maturing into the player I once thought he might be, ie. one of the worlds best!

And what does this have to do with the game against Fulham this weekend? You're the one who mentioned the Fulham match, and the pressure it puts on me, although you don't play those silly games? It's only a couple posts above this one if you don't remember it you might want to re-read it. Here's the link if you like:
As for being personal, I don't care if you're an optimist or a pessimist. But it's clear most of your posts of late take the opposite tone to mine, and they are not exactly of an optimistic nature. If how you express your support for your club is not a reflection of your personality, so be it. I just made comment about your posts, if you take it personally that's down to you. I mean it's not like I called you a "simpering stat driveling Rafa lover". Now that I can understand someone might take personally.
Although in the 18 years since the World footballer of the year awards have been published, in all those years of there being a top three, only 7 players based in Britiain have ever made the list.
Two from United, Two from Arsenal, One each from Chelsea and Liverpool, and one from Spurs. Only one of those has ever won.
Out of those only three of those were players qualified for England.
Just out of interest Serie A has had 13 Italian based players in the top 3, and Spain has had 15 of theirs make the top 3, Germany 2 (both German), and France (one French) 2. The winners have all been either Portuguese, Liberian, Brazilian, French, German, Dutch or Italian.
That would suggest that British players are largely also rans, and that our league DOES NOT as we like to claim, attract the best players.
If you have to have made that list then Gerrard, Rooney, Fabregas, Drogba, Essien, none are world class. In fact it would suggest the Prem has only two current world class players, only one being English..
Any guesses?

I'm programming a computer graphics application in Scala which uses a RGB class to return the color at a point in the image. As you can imagine, the function which return the color RGB object is called many times.
class RGB(val red: Int, val green: Int, val blue: Int) { }
There is a function getPixelRGB which is often used as follows
val color:RGB = getPixelRGB(image, x, y)
The problem is that I may call this function a million times which will then, I believe, generate a million unique RGB object instances, thats a very unattractive situation. There are some thoughts I have about this:
getPixelRGB could potentially create an infinite number of objects if it was called an infinite number of times, but it need not be an infinite number of objects as there are only a maximum of 255 * 255 * 255 possible combinations which can be produced for RGB. So the number of objects created "should" be finite. This function could be adjusted to use a object pool where if it is to return the same color as some time before it could return the same pooled object instance for that color.
I could encode this RGB as a Int. An Int would have less memory overhead than a normal Scala/Java object, Java objects have extra memory overhead. Since a Scala Int type is 4 bytes wide, the first 3 bytes could store the RGB value. Only returning an Int rather than a RGB from the getPixelRGB method would be less memory overhead I assume. However how to do this while still having the convince of the RGB class?
Supposedly, and they are, short lived objects and I have read that the garbage collector should re-claim them quickly. However I'm still worried about it. How does the GC know that I'm throwing it away quickly? So confusing.
So in general, my question is how to make this getPixelRGB more memory friendly? also should I even be worried about it?

Unanswered: How to prevent Architect from including default theme during project build?
I have custom CSS resources that I am using to theme my Ext JS project, but there are a few components being overwritten by the default ext-gray theme. I am using Sencha Architect 3 to build my project, and I was wondering if it was possible to prevent the default theme below from being included during the build process.
I would like to stop the gray theme from being imported, but Architect does not allow me to have a blank value for the 'theme' config, and the bootstrap.js file is auto-generated with the following line:
/* generated file */ @import 'ext/packages/ext-theme-gray/build/resources/ext-theme-gray-all-rtl.css'

There are two ways for key change: key update, and Re-keying. Which of these methods use a KDF (Key Derivation Function) for getting new keys?
KDFs can be used for both: key update and re-keying. As a KDF is usually a Function like this: $KDF(Secret,DerivationParams)$, you can use it to derive keys from old keys (key-update) but you can also use it for re-keying as nothing prevents you from setting a new secret (by the means of the KDF). As there are some KDF that look like this: $KDF(Secret,Salt,Params)$ you can even do a hybrid thing, where you depend on your old key and add new entropy to the new key.

Material flow analysis
Material flow analysis (MFA) (also referred to as substance flow analysis (SFA)) is an analytical method to quantify flows and stocks of materials or substances in a well-defined system. MFA is an important tool to study the bio-physical aspects of human activity on different spatial and temporal scales. It is considered a core method of industrial ecology and urban metabolism. Typical applications of MFA include the study of material, substance, or product flows across different industrial sectors or within ecosystems. MFA can also be applied to a single industrial installation, for example, for tracking nutrient flows through a waste water treatment plant. Examples for policy-relevant applications of MFA include the determination of material use indicators for different societies and the assessment of strategies for improving the material flow systems in form of material flow management. Since 1990, the number of publications using material flow analysis as main method of investigation has grown steadily. Major journals that publish MFA-related work include the Journal of Industrial Ecology, Ecological Economics, Environmental Science and Technology, and Resources, Conservation, and Recycling.[1]

Description of the method[edit]
Human needs such as shelter, food, transport, or communication require materials like wood, starch, sugar, iron and steel, copper, or semiconductors. As society develops and economic activity grows, production, use, and disposal of the materials employed increases to a scale where unwanted impacts on environment and society cannot be neglected anymore, neither locally nor globally. Material flows are at the core of local environmental problems such as leaching from landfills or oil spills. Rising concern about global warming put a previously unimportant waste flow, carbon dioxide, on top of the political and scientific agenda. Moreover, the gradual shift from traditional to urban mining in developed countries requires a detailed assessment of in-use and obsolete stocks of materials within human society. Scientists, industries, government bodies, and other organisations therefore need a tool that complements economic accounting and modelling. They need a systematic method to keep track of and display stocks and flows of the materials entering, staying within and leaving the different processes in the anthroposphere. Material flow analysis is such a method.
Basic principles[edit]
MFA is based on two fundamental and well-established scientific principles, the systems approach and mass balance. [2] [3] The system definition is the starting point of every MFA study.
System definition[edit]
An MFA system is a model of an industrial plant, an industrial sector or a region of concern. The level of detail of the system model is chosen to fit the purpose of the study. An MFA system always consists of the system boundary, one or more processes, material flows between processes, and stocks of materials within processes. Exchange between the system and its environment happens via flows that cross the system boundary. Contrary to chemical engineering, where a system represents a specific industrial installation, systems and processes in MFA can represent much larger and more abstract entities as long as they are well-defined. The explicit system definition helps the practitioner to locate the available quantitative information in the system, either as stocks within certain processes or as flows between processes.
MFA system descriptions can be refined by disaggregating processes or simplified by aggregating processes.
Next to specifying the arrangement of processes, stocks, and flows in the system definition, the practitioner also needs to indicate the scale and the indicator element or material of the system studied. The spatial scale describes the geographic entity that is covered by the system. A system representing a certain industrial sector can be applied to the USA, China, certain world regions, or the world as a whole. The temporal scale describes the point in time or the time span for which the system is quantified. The indicator element or material of the system is the physical entity that is measured and for which the mass balance holds. As the name says, an indicator element is a certain chemical element such as cadmium or a substance such as CO2. In general, a material or a product can also be used as indicator as long as a process balance can be established for it. Examples for more general indicators are goods such as passenger cars, materials like steel, or other physical quantities such as energy flows.
MFA requires practitioners to make precise use of the terms 'material', 'substance', or 'good'. We refer to the definitions given in chapter 2.1 in the book by Brunner and Rechberger,[4] one of the main references for the MFA method.
- A chemical element is "a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number".[5]
- A substance is "any (chemical) element or compound composed of uniform units. All substances are characterized by a unique and identical constitution and are thus homogeneous." From chapter 2.1.1 in Brunner&Rechberger.[4]
- A good is defined as "economic entity of matter with a positive or negative economic value. Goods are made up of one or several substances". From chapter 2.1.2 in Brunner&Rechberger.[4]
- The term material in MFA "serves as an umbrella term for both substances and goods." From chapter 2.1.3 in Brunner&Rechberger.[4]
Process balance[edit]
One of the main purposes of MFA is to understand the metabolism of the elements of the system. Unlike purely economic accounting, MFA also covers non-economic waste flows, emissions to the environment, and stocks of obsolete products. The process balance is a first order physical principle that turns MFA into a powerful accounting and analysis tool. The processes in the system determine which balances apply. For a process 'oil refinery', for example, one can establish a mass balance for each chemical element, while this is not possible for a nuclear power station. A car factory respects the balance for steel, but a steel mill does not.
When quantifying MFA systems either by measurements or from statistical data, mass other process balances have to be checked to ensure the correctness of the quantification and to reveal possible data inconsistencies or even misconceptions in the system such as the omission of a flow or a process. Conflicting information can be reconciled using data validation and reconciliation, and the STAN-software offers basic reconciliation functionality that is suitable for many MFA application.[6]
Examples for MFA applications on different spatial and temporal scales[edit]
MFA studies are conducted on various spatial and temporal scales and for a variety of elements, substances, and goods. They cover a wide range of process chains and material cycles. Several examples:
- MFA on a national or regional scale (also referred to as material flow accounting): In this type of study, the material exchanges between an economy and the natural environment are analyzed. Several indicators are calculated in order to assess the level of resource intensity of the system.
- Corporate material flow analysis, or MFA along an industrial supply chain involves a number of companies: The goal of material flow analysis within a company is to quantify and then optimize the production processes so that materials and energy are used more efficiently manner, e.g., by recycling and waste reduction. Companies can use the results obtained by material flow analysis to reduce their operational costs and improve environmental performance.
- In the life cycle of a product: The life cycle inventory, whose compilation is at the core of life cycle assessment, follows the MFA methodology as it is based on an explicit system definition and process balances.
Historical development[edit]
- Mass balance or the conservation of matter has been postulated already in ancient Greece, and it was introduced into modern chemistry by Antoine Lavoisier (cf. chapter 2.1.3 in Brunner&Rechberger,[4]), from where it found its way to chemical engineering and finally to environmental science.
- Other seminal contributions were made by Sanctorius and Theodor Weyl.
- Dennis Meadows made a wide audience aware of the physical foundation of the economy when he co-authored the bestseller Limits to Growth in 1971. Meadows et al. based their predictions on an analysis of resource stocks; see in the glossary of environmental science.
- The methdology of MFA was developed during the 80s and 90s. Development happened simultaneously in different research groups. Central publications on the MFA methodology include Baccini and Bader (1996),[7] Brunner and Rechberger (2004),[4] Baccini and Brunner (2012),[8] and van der Voet et al. (2002).[9]
- Friedrich Schmidt-Bleek, who worked at the Wuppertal Institute,[10] developed the MFA-related concept of Material Input Per Service unit (MIPS).[11]
- The UNEP Resource Panel[12] was set up in 2007 by the United Nations Environment Program, and was first headed by Ernst Ulrich von Weizsaecker and Ashok Khosla. In analogy to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)[13] it brings together experts from many disciplines and institutions to review the current state of research on societal metabolism and to communicate the latest findings to policymakers and stakeholders.
Recent development[edit]
- MFA concepts have been or are being incorporated in national accounts in several countries and regions such as the EU[14] and Japan.[15] MFA is also used in the System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting.
- Several international conferences or other meetings provide a platform for researchers and policymakers to meet and exchange results and ideas, including the World Resources Forum,[16] a bi-annual international conference on material flow analysis and sustainable development.
- MFA-IO is an approach to establish an MFA system of the whole economy using monetary and physical Input-Output tables.[17]
- The Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI) in Vienna, Austria, has developed a data base called materialflows.net.[18]
- Dynamic MFA aims for long-term quantification of MFA systems and uses historic development patterns of physical stocks and flows to create robust scenarios for the years and decades to come.[19]
- Japan has developed into a hotspot for MFA research. The country has scarce mineral resources and is therefore dependent on imports of energy carriers, ores, and other raw materials. The Japanese government fosters research on material cycles and also inaugurated the 3-R concept.[20]
Relation to other methods[edit]
MFA is complementary to life cycle assessment (LCA) and input-output (I/O) models. Some overlaps between the different methods exist as they all share the system approach and to some extent the mass balance principle. The methods mainly differ in purpose, scope, and data requirements.
MFA studies often cover the entire cycle (mining, production, manufacturing, use, waste handling) of a certain substance within a given geographical boundary and time frame. Material stocks are considered explicitly in MFA, which makes this method suitable for studies involving resource scarcity and recycling from old scrap. The common use of time series (dynamic modelling) and lifetime models makes MFA a suitable tool for assessing long-term trends in material use.
- Compared to I/O analyses, the number of processes considered in MFA systems is usually much lower. On the other hand, mass balance ensures that flows of by-products or waste are not overlooked in MFA studies, whereas in I/O tables these flows are often not included due to their lack in economic value. Physical I/O models are much less common than economic ones. Material stocks are not covered by IO analysis, only the addition to stock can be included in form of capital accumulation.
- Life cycle assessments and inventories focus on the various material demands and subsequent impacts for single products, whereas MFA studies typically focus on a single material in many different products. Impact assessment is traditionally not part of MFA, but there have been recent attempts to include it.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (November 23, 2013) A fourth student has been suspended in connection with an incident at San Jose State University involving alleged hate crimes against a black student, University President Mohammed Qayoumi announced late Friday.
He did not name the student.
Three white students, Logan Beaschler and Collin Warren, both 18, and Joseph Bomgardner, 19, face misdemeanor hate crime and battery charges in the alleged harassment of their black roommate after they moved into a four-bedroom dormitory suite in August.
According to a police report, they outfitted their dormitory suite with a Confederate flag, barricaded the victim in his room, and placed a U-shaped bicycle lock around his neck and claimed they lost the key.
The victim hasn't been named at his parents' request.

Nasdaq Proposes Circuit Breakers Supplementing SEC's
Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. proposed an expansion on its markets of measures to halt stocks during periods of volatility, adding circuit breakers to all the companies it lists and a tiered system that pauses trading based on different percentage moves.
The Nasdaq program would add halts for faster price changes than are covered by a Securities Exchange Commission proposal last month. While the agency will begin a pilot next week in which Standard & Poor's 500 Index stocks that swing more than 10 percent within five minutes are delayed, Nasdaq will pause trading for a minute during moves over 30 seconds or less, said Eric Noll, executive vice president at New York-based Nasdaq.
Exchanges and regulators are examining ways to slow down trading during investor panics after the market plunge on May 6 showed how conflicting rules across as many as 50 different U.S. equity venues may worsen selloffs. The rout erased $862 billion from the value of U.S. equities in less than 20 minutes and drove the Dow Jones Industrial Average to an almost 1,000-point decline, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"We've always seen this as an issue," Noll said. "With the circuit-breaker bands now being introduced in the marketplace, we can provide solutions that affect specific volatility concerns in our market." The events on May 6 caused Nasdaq to pursue this mechanism "in a much more aggressive way," he said.
Mistakes, News
The Nasdaq program will "prevent drastic volatility" without limiting moves justified by news, Noll said. At the end of the 60-second pause, the exchange will hold electronic auctions to reopen trading. "We'll be able to re-gather liquidity through a brief halt," Noll said.
For shares below $1.75, trading would be paused after a 15 percent increase or decline within 30 seconds, he said. For stocks between $1.75 and $25, a halt would be triggered by 10 percent changes. From $25 to $50, a 5 percent move would lead to a pause, and for equities above $50, the threshold would be 3 percent, he said.
Lower-priced stocks tend to rise or fall more as a percentage of their price than larger companies, partly because the smallest trading increment is a bigger proportion of their value, Noll said.
Never Activated
Nasdaq proposed the same curbs three years ago and the SEC approved it for a pilot of 100 stocks, Noll said. The exchange never implemented it because of concern about how the program would operate without a stock-by-stock circuit breaker across all markets, he said. The current proposal will begin in the third quarter.
"We'd argue and have argued that in the absence of a market-wide stock-by-stock circuit breaker system, the functionality of an independently operated circuit breaker can cause problems on days of high volatility," Noll said.
Mechanisms for slowing down trading on the New York Stock Exchange known as liquidity replenishment points were triggered when losses deepened on May 6, according to NYSE Euronext Chief Operating Officer Larry Leibowitz. Rapid-fire price changes activated the LRPs, which cause the Big Board to switch to auctions administered by humans from electronic trading, encouraging orders to flood other venues with few if any buyers.
The NYSE said most orders during the worst of the selloff remained on its exchange, as evidenced by the rebound in stocks when they resumed trading there and data showing its markets handled a larger-than-normal share of trading.
The SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed six potential causes of the crash 12 days later, highlighting losses in exchange-traded funds and futures, curbs that applied at the New York Stock Exchange but not elsewhere, and an unwillingness to match orders among some electronic traders.

I've got an HP dv5000 laptop with a backlight that won't light up, (but is known to be good). I've also got an inverter board which is good, but isn't getting power from the mobo. So, my question is, would it be possible to bypass the original power source, and hack together some type of externally powered input just for the backlight?
If so, does anybody know the input voltage and meaning for the 7 input pins for the inverter board, or how to find out?

DIY Sequin Placemats
DIY Projects
The projects that Alisa Lewis Event Design make are always easy as pie to make. This one can also be used at dinner parties, and if you like anything sparkly and festive, this DIY is calling your name from miles away. Stock up these sequin placemats for a fab New Year's eve dinner party too!
What you'll need:
Placemats (We found our basic white placemats at Bed Bath & Beyond.)
Sequin fabric
Hot glue gun + glue sticks
Step 1. Cut strips of the fabric to desired width, including extra to wrap around the sides.
Step 2. Using the hot glue gun, conceal the edges of the fabric in place.
Our fabric was thin, and didn't need much glue. So we only used it on the edges and left the middle glue free.
Thank you Samantha Cabrera for the images!
Gee | EverythingWeddingsAndMore
Beautiful and easy! Exactly how i like it :) Thanks Alisa Lewis Event Design
Tamara Nicole
Super cute and easy way to add bling, love it!
Boston photographer
This project is totally approachable. She's genius!
How gorgeous and easy. This has definitely given me an idea for my almost new place. Thanks!
Where did you find the sequin fabric?

Andrew Purcell is heating up this summer with tons of new work out and even more on the way. Like this Food Network cover piled high with delectable sliders. And what is up with the crazy frozen bananas? Dipped in chocolate and rolled around in every topping imaginable – when you're eating something that healthy then you have a little leeway to add delicious treats. I wonder if they have a version with peanut brittle? Now that would give me a good excuse to bust out the fondue pot and have a crazy chocolate fondue party – that would be bananas!

The 19-year-old phenom from San Diego, Ted Williams, rubbed Joe Cronin a little bit the wrong way in spring training with his cocksure demeanor, and Joe thought he needed more seasoning and so shipped him to Boston's to farm club, the Minneapolis Millers for a year under manager Donie Bush. Never one to mince words, Williams told one of the outfielders, "I'll be back, and I'll be making more money than the three of you put together." Williams won the Triple Crown in the American Association, leading in homers, RBIs, and average. And maybe matured a little.
Speaking of Triple Crowns, Jimmie Foxx came very close to winning it in the American League. He drove in 175 runs (29 more than second-place Hank Greenberg), led the league in batting average with .349 (Ben Chapman's .340 ranked him third in the league), and in most years the 50 home runs he hit would easily have won the home run title. He came in second. Hank Greenberg hit 58. For more than half a century, Foxx held the team record for homers in a single season until David Ortiz knocked out 54 in 2006. The 175 runs batted in still holds as the franchise mark for RBIs. He drove in so many runs that he knocked in over 100 in Fenway Park alone, 104 to be precise. With 305 points out of a possible 336, he was named MVP for the third time in a seven-year stretch.
Left fielder Joe Vosmik banged out 201 hits on the year, to lead the league. Fellow outfielder Doc Cramer collected 198 hits to finish second. Throughout the years, 1938 remains the only year in which the Red Sox have been first and second in hit. Doerr's .289 was the lowest among the primary position players. The Red Sox hit .299 as a team. Cramer, Foxx, and Vosmik all scored over 100 runs. Higgins drove in 106.
If they'd only had a standout pitcher or two, they could have crept closer to the first-place New York Yankees. Jack Wilson and Jim Bagby both won 15 games. Grove was 14-4 and Ostermueller was 13-5.
As it was, despite placing second in the standings, the Red Sox ended the year 9 ½ games behind the leaders.By Bill Nowlin

I have an Acer Aspire 771G running Windows 8 which connects to a D-Link DSL-G624T wireless router. Occasionally (and seemingly randomly), I get connectivity dropouts for varying lengths of time; my other devices connected to the same router in the same location have no issue.
I have changed my wireless router's broadcast channel to one that is less busy and the problem still persists. I have this problem both when my laptop is running on battery power and when it is plugged in to the mains, so the problem is still there regardless of Window's 'wireless adapter settings' in the settings for the power plan.
The wireless card in my laptop is a Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222, and I have tried re-installing the driver software for my wireless card, but this had no effect.
Any suggestions on how to solve the dropouts? Thanks. :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I have a 'dropout' I mean that Windows still shows a good connection strength, but am unable to ping the router.

This title features a whopping 110 minutes and 44 scenes of girls in well done rope bondage. There's all sorts of ropework here you won't find in your average Boy Scout Handbook here. Girls tied to chairs, girls hogtied, girls tied to posts, girls tied to beds, girls tied to each other, girls with their legs tied together, girls with their legs forced open by ropes.
Our lovely bondage models are dressed in all manner of different outfits from schoolgirl to slave to lingerie with tits spilling out of the top of it. There's plenty of drooly ball gag action and struggling to be free from the ropes, and with so much variety, the viewer can definitely have it their way. At about twice the length of your average fetish feature, fans of the more creative uses for rope will eat this right up.
