Kernel panic is not the only problem one can run into; there are
also deadlocks-after-oops situations, in which case some sort of

The Big Sleep
by Raymond Chandler
The Big Sleep Theme of Principles
Despite being a hardboiled tough guy, Marlowe has his own set of principles that he sticks to firmly. Marlowe sees himself as a modern-day knight, following a code of chivalry in a fallen society that no longer knows the meaning of integrity and honesty. In a depraved city where everyone is out to make (or steal) a quick buck, Marlowe remains underpaid and even refuses money when he feels he hasn't performed his job satisfactorily. Even though he realizes that his efforts are mostly futile, and will only end in The Big Sleep, Marlowe isn't afraid to admit when he's wrong and this honesty with himself enables him to preserve his own sense of dignity.
Questions About Principles
- Why is Marlowe so determined to follow his code of honor when the world around him no longer recognizes the value of morals?
- To what extent does his strong sense of principles help him to solve the case? To what extent does it hinder his ability to solve the case?
- Are there any instances in the novel when Marlowe compromises on his principles? If so, when and why is Marlowe forced to break his own rules for the benefit of his client?
Chew on This
Marlowe's principles do nothing but stand between him and solving the case. If he'd gotten down and dirty sooner, this case would have been closed ages ago.
Marlowe should uphold the law, no matter what. The fact that he breaks it now and again just means he's just as bad as the rest.

Featured Spotlight
Always a librarian "deep down," alumna embraces goal to never stop learning
July 17, 2012
"I think I have always been a librarian deep down inside," said Judy Deichman M.S.'10. "I just needed the opportunity to bring it to the surface."
After earning a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of South Florida, Deichman worked in the field for more than 10 years before moving from Florida to Virginia. Once settled in Midlothian, she focused on raising her five children and volunteering in their classrooms.
These classroom experiences gave her the push she needed to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a school librarian. In 2010, Deichman became the first student to graduate from Longwood University's school library media graduate program with her initial teaching licensure.
"My experience at Longwood University was very fulfilling and rewarding," she said. "The classes were relevant and delivered with a fine attention to detail. Being a mother of five children, my life is full of outside commitments. The mixture of online and face-to-face classes made it possible to balance the course work."
One of Deichman's favorite courses as a graduate student was a young adult literature class. She found that reading current novels written for young adults gave her insight into what kind of literature young people consider worthy of their time.
Now a librarian at Nottoway Middle School in Crewe, Va., Deichman recently organized a promotion involving The Hunger Games. She loves that her career gives her an access point to collaborate with teachers on a variety of lessons, always incorporating a reading/literature component.
"The library is the hub of the school and offers so many opportunities to interact with the students and teachers," she said. "There is no typical day. The best moment is when you find a book for a student that kick-starts their reading, and they cannot put the book down. Sometimes it's just the spark a student needed. It is truly awesome!"
Always a firm believer that you should never stop learning or growing, Deichman is continuing her education at Longwood and is now enrolled in the university's 21st Century Learning and Leadership certificate program. The purpose of the online program is to equip leaders and instructors to prepare K-12 students with the skills, knowledge and expertise they need to work and live in the 21st century.
"The program encompasses the very goal and mantra of a librarian, so it's perfect for me," Deichman said.

SIKESTON -- The Standard-Democrat is taking steps to make its business more interactive for users, while still providing the same print product.
"We're now changing the way we post stories online in order to give our readers access to more information quickly," said David Jenkins, assistant managing editor.
Instead of being posted after the day's paper has gone to print, a synopsis of articles is being posted as soon as the reporter has gathered all of their notes for the story. This differs from posting just the first few paragraphs of articles, as was done in the past, explained Jenkins.
He also noted that breaking news articles -- such as last week's murder-suicide -- will be posted online as soon as information is received and verified.
Full stories remain available in the electronic edition, to which subscriptions may be purchased.

What on Earth Is This Guy Doing Dating Farrah Abraham?!
10/30/2013 7:00 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
All right, that guy right there, that goofy looking fellow, his name is Brian Dawe: he is a DJ and he is also Farrah Abraham's boyfriend. We're not trying to judge books by their covers over here, but if you saw this cover and caught a little blurb about this book's taste in ladies, you'd probably think "man, what a dumb book." But that's actually not the case at all!
Brian did a little interview with Orlando Weekly, and while he did talk about Farrah, he also came across as an intelligent, thoughtful guy. Crazy, right? Check out what he had to say about being in the news with Farrah:
"Well, you know, it's something I never expected to be brought into. Me and her were dating quietly for a few months. I wasn't really expecting for it to come out. I mean, I didn't know when it would come out, or if it would, so it kind of caught me by surprise. But I knew it was a big ordeal when people started calling my mom's house asking about it."
And here's what he said about Farrah herself:
"I think a lot of people give her a bad rap. She might not have the best reputation in the media right now, but I think she's improved herself a lot, and she's fixed a lot of the past mistakes she made. She's young, she's made some mistakes, just like everybody."
And here's this big statement he made about reality television and how it affected Farrah, and young people in general:
"Even though I've been on reality TV before, I think the culture of reality television, especially with younger people, is very damaging. The fact that MTV and Viacom exploit 16-year-old girls – it's clear they don't care about the long term or the mental health of these people, and it's a travesty that they are willing to sacrifice integrity for entertainment. These young people, they get thrust out into the limelight, and that's something that they have to deal with for the rest of their lives. You look at a lot of young people put into the spotlight at a very young age, from Miley Cyrus to Britney Spears to even Justin Bieber, and they act out and they have to deal with this. There's just this culture of exploiting young people. And it needs to change."
Guys, this dude is a total genius compared to Farrah. He's over here talking about the exploitation of child stars and the effect it has on those people, and meanwhile Farrah thought Trayvon Martin was some girl she met one time. I can't even figure out how they have conversations, besides imagining that Brian tries to discuss something and Farrah does that thing she always does in interviews where she doesn't understand a question so she just starts talking about herself. What a strange, strange couple.

Roche Softens Up in Illumina Bid
Roche Holding's move to raise its bid for Illumina signals the Swiss pharmaceutical giant is softening its stance and seeking to reach an agreed deal with the U.S. gene-sequencer rather than launching another hostile takeover.
The Swiss company Thursday lifted its offer to more than $6.5 billion, or $51 a share from $44.50, reflecting what the market views as a fairer price for the diagnostics firm. The question now is to see whether this is enough to entice Illumina's shareholders to tender their shares and pave the way for Roche to expand its offering of personalized medicines, a booming field in health care.
Roche said it prefers a friendly deal and is pushing for negotiations, but would go hostile and take unilateral steps if Illumina's board continues to reject the bid.
Analysts agree the increase by 15% was expected and is consistent with Roche's approach in the past, bidding lower than it was actually prepared to pay.
But, in the past, Roche has tended to engage in long battles with its targets before agreeing on a sweetened offer.
This time, the new bid comes three days after Roche extended the acceptance period for the second time, lengthening the period it has to manoeuvre behind-the-scenes to win over Illumina's board.
And this may signal a shift in Roche's strategy, after the company launched its aggressive bid in January, put forward its own board nominees for election at Illumina's annual meeting on April 18 and tried to exert pressure suggesting it may turn to other targets should the deal fall apart.
Illumina responded to the new price with a brief statement urging shareholders to "defer action,". However, Roche said some of Illumina's shareholders have signalled they want to accelerate the takeover.
Others are less keen. Bernheim, Dreyfus and Co., a Paris-based event-driven hedge fund which owns an undisclosed number of Illumina shares, said the increased offer is probably not good enough to convince Illumina to agree to a friendly deal
To clinch a deal quickly that creates value, Roche would have to offer between $56 and $60 per Illumina share, the hedge fund said in a statement.
Illumina has so far warded off Roche's attack dismissing the original cash offer of $5.7 billion as too low, emboldened by its own outstanding growth prospects and innovation track-record. Its shares have fluctuated wildly over the past year, trading as high as $79.40 on July 3 and as low as $25.57 on October 13, when investors turned skeptical about the gene-decoding company's growth prospects.
The haste is untypical for Roche, known to bide its time with previous takeovers, such as the 2007 hostile bid for diagnostic test-maker Ventana or its apprroach for the 44% of U.S. biotech group Genentech it didn't already own. With both targets, Roche waited seven months before raising its offer.
Now, the improved bid for Illumina comes a mere two months after Roche went public with its plan to snap up the company.

For many photographers, conversations with other photographers—be they heroes, mentors or friends—are an important part of their professional lives. They critique and inspire each other creatively; share information about technique and craft; debate the future and rehash the past; commiserate about challenges, perhaps argue; and they learn.
We asked a handful of photographers whom they would like to meet and talk with. We wanted to let PDN readers listen in on these conversations between some of the most influential people in photography, whose work spans generations and genres. We think these exchanges offer insights into the past, present, and future of photography.
Stephen Shore's color photographs were first exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1971 when he was just 24 years old. In 1982 he published his groundbreaking book, Uncommon Places (Aperture). American Surfaces (Schirmer/Mosel) was first published in 1999. Among his many awards, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1975, and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in 1974 and 1979. Since 1982, he has been the Susan Weber Soros Professor in the Arts and director of the photography program at Bard College. His work has been exhibited at museums and galleries all over the world.
Gregory Crewdson received an MFA from Yale University's School of Art in 1988. Best known for his elaborately staged, cinematic color images of small town America, he has exhibited his work in museums and galleries internationally. He published his first book, Hover (Artspace), in 1995. His other books include Twilight (Abrams, 2003), Beneath the Roses (Abrams, 2008) and Sanctuary (Abrams, 2010). Crewdson was awarded the Skowhegan Medal for Photography in 2004, and has received National Endowment for the Arts (1992) and Aaron Siskind (1991) fellowships. Since 1993, he has been an adjunct professor in the graduate photography program at the Yale School of Art.
Crewdson interviewed Shore on May 5, 2011, at the International Center for Photography in New York City.
Gregory Crewdson: When did you first understand the magic of photography?
Stephen Shore: The magic of photography began in the darkroom when I was six. I was given a darkroom set made by Kodak for my birthday. I wasn't taking pictures; I was just developing my family's negatives and making prints. When I was eight I got a 35mm rangefinder camera and started taking pictures. Within a couple of years I knew this was what I was going to be doing.
Crewdson: When did you become conscious of photography as art and as a tradition?
Shore: I was living in New York and our upstairs neighbor gave me for my tenth birthday a copy of [Walker] Evans's American Photographs, so that was the first photography book I owned. Evans's work really stood out, as it still does.
Crewdson: Would you consider him a central early influence?
Shore: Yes. In fact, I would say it was more than an influence. Emmet Gowin once came to Bard and referred to feeling a spiritual kinship to someone. There's something in my temperament that just connects to [Evans]. The word that comes to mind is classical, in terms of an understanding of the relationship of structure and content, and an empathetic distance.
Crewdson: How did you move from smaller format cameras to the large format?
Shore: I spent a couple of years making conceptually based sequences using 35mm. This led to exploring the vernacular uses of photography. One of the projects I did was making snapshots with a camera called a Mick-A-Matic, which is a big plastic head of Mickey Mouse. The following year with the 35mm I did a series called "American Surfaces." They were exhibited as snapshots, but as time went on I became less interested in them as snapshots and more interested in some visual questions I had. I wanted to make bigger prints and needed a larger negative, so my intention was to continue "American Surfaces" but with a larger camera.
I got a [4 x 5] Crown Graphic thinking I would hand-hold it. Some of the work I was doing was architectural, so when I did that I put the camera on a tripod and I opened up the back and looked at the ground glass. And I got so involved in that way of working that the project totally changed and I gave up the idea of continuing "American Surfaces." I became fascinated by this other method of photography, not just the 4 x 5, but also working on a tripod, because then the camera is not an extension of your eye, it just stays there. That process led to the work that I did over the next few years.
Crewdson: Was "American Surfaces" the first time you ventured out into the American landscape and became more directly fascinated with that iconography?
Shore: Yes, but it had been brewing for a couple of years. I became friendly with a group of young people from Amarillo who all were living in New York, and every summer they would go back to Amarillo to spend the summer. I started going with them in 1969. It was an eye-opening experience. To spend two months in the Texas Panhandle and use that as a base for travel, I experienced part of the country I hadn't experienced before and it made me want to explore the rest of the country.
Crewdson: Were your pictures making a commentary of any kind or was it more of a formal investigation?
Shore: Any artist can deal with both content and structure at the same time and have two paths of exploration, so I think they were both going on. In formal terms I wanted to make pictures that looked—the way I put it at the time was "natural." Today I might use: "less mediated by visual convention." What was it like to look? What was it like to see the world? And how is that different from the way people photograph? This was part of my interest in snapshots. Every now and then one would come across a snapshot that had this raw, unmediated spontaneity and I wanted to use the form of the pictures to refer to that. At the same time I was also taking pictures that you would never see in a snapshot and so it plays against the form.
Crewdson: When you moved on to the larger format 8 x 10 pictures, did the nature of the enterprise change dramatically?
Shore: Yes. Certain structural questions began to take over. If I look back on all the work from the Seventies, almost all of the content that I would explore most of that decade was really staked out during "American Surfaces"—intersections, houses, still lifes.
Crewdson: So it was like you were location scouting for the next body of work in a certain way?
Shore: Yes, but I explored [the question of] how to put the picture together in a different way. I started making the pictures more and more structurally complex, and then making them less [complex] and more and more natural, more and more transparent, so that after four years I was attempting to take pictures with the 8 x 10 that that did in fact feel like "American Surfaces," but having gone through this whole process, following a spiral and coming back to the same point but on a different level.
Crewdson: Were you aware of a coming together of form and content that seemed defining at the time?
Shore: Yes. In fact, by coincidence this is something that has been on my mind for several months. [Book dealer] Markus Schaden put together a project where a group of six German photographers are taking pictures in America that are somehow influenced by a picture I took in Los Angeles in 1975 at the intersection of Beverly Boulevard and Le Brea Avenue.
That picture was one of the two most structurally complex I [had] made at the time. As I was taking it I realized to what extent I was imposing a seventeenth century classical landscape vision on a twentieth century street corner. I couldn't help myself, I had to make the picture, but as soon as I took it I felt how far I had come from this idea of the natural. Here is this one-point perspective going down the center. Like [French landscape painter] Claude [Lorrain] would have a classical pediment [on the side of the frame], I had the Standard Station. It bothered me the degree to which I was imposing a visual convention on my experience. So I went back to the same intersection the next day and took a different picture that didn't have any of those qualities. This is what was on my mind: How much am I imposing an order and how much am I imposing a different kind of visual convention on the world? And is that getting away from communicating the experience?
Crewdson: Color at that time was a radical departure, particularly in this tradition of landscape photography. What were your thoughts on it?
Shore: Before "American Surfaces" I was doing these snapshots with the Mick-A-Matic, and all snapshots were in color. It's really as simple as that. You couldn't get a black-and-white snapshot then. You couldn't take film to your corner drugstore and get black-and-white processing. Also, all postcards at the time were in color. When I was traveling with Amarillo as my base I would collect postcards, which would be of a motel or a diner or a main street—something an art photographer might not have thought of photographing. They were often made without any kind of artistic pretension, and they were in color and the color added a layer of information. Why is this room painted this color? What does that mean? It's as resonant with meaning as the form of things and so fascinating to me.
Crewdson: What kind of ambitions did you have towards photographic beauty and transcendence?
Shore: That's a very good question. I'm going to separate [beauty and transcendence]. The only time I ever heard Evans speak was at the Modern [Museum of Modern Art], at the time of his big retrospective in the early Seventies. He talked about his photographs being transcendent documents. I took that to mean that he understood that the pictures existed on a level that had deep psychological resonances that were not simply a matter of cultural reference, as well as a level of cultural reference.
I didn't think about beauty a lot. During "American Surfaces" I was photographing every meal I ate and what art on walls looked like. I saw myself as an explorer. I was thinking about the structural problems in the photograph, [about] photography as a technical means of communicating what the world looks like if you see it in a state of heightened awareness. The subject matter that interested me for various other reasons was the perfect subject matter for this exploration, because if the subject matter is too highly charged, a viewer can become involved in those aspects of the picture and be less open to the subtler aspects of it.
Crewdson: Do you see the images as invested with any kind of personal narrative or an aspect of your own psychology?
Shore: I think it's inevitable. Even in trying to rid the picture of it, it inevitably expresses it. This goes back to my kinship to Evans and having kind of a classical temperament. There was something in me that, when I look at Robert Frank I bristle at it. I have the highest respect for his work, but in terms of that aspect of my personality it just seems so pointed. Sometimes people compare my work to his because we both traveled around America, but at the time I was seeing what I was doing as almost anti-Frank. That's another way of saying that what I've chosen to do and the coolness of it is an expression of my personality.
Crewdson: Your body of work "Uncommon Places" has become iconic. How does it feel now to see those pictures being so influential, not only to younger artists, but you see the references in movies and throughout our culture?
Shore: It's hard for me to answer. I see what you are saying and it makes me feel good. On the other hand, I know that in Europe some curators are making a big thing that I influenced the [Bernd and Hilla] Becher students and some of the Becher students are uncomfortable with this. I don't understand that because it doesn't take away from their achievement that they have been influenced any more than it takes away from what I've done to talk about looking at Evans and Ed Ruscha and postcards—we all have influences. How can you be an intelligent artist in our culture and not have influences and not work on a basis of things you've seen?
Crewdson: That's part of the condition of making art in a certain sense. You absorb traditions and attempt to reinvent and make them your own and then the next generation does the same.
Shore: Have you ever read The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn?
Crewdson: No.
Shore: A very interesting book. He's the person who really popularized the word "paradigm." Talking about science, he said for something to be a paradigm it has to have two qualities: It has to be sufficiently unprecedented and sufficiently open ended so that people can continue the exploration. If it's not open ended it's not a paradigm. And in terms of photography, someone could take a picture based on one of mine and it's not a copy of mine because one is my vision and the other is their vision.
Crewdson: Both of us are very invested in the role of being a teacher. Why is being a teacher important to you and how do you see it in relation to your role as an artist?
Shore: Those are separate but connected things. In terms of my art, as I have a new idea I can put it out in the teaching and it becomes a testing ground for an idea or perception. But I see teaching as a separate activity where—this may be too much mystical thinking—for a person to progress in their own evolution it's necessary for them to bring other people to the place they were. I feel that I have a duty to do it.
Crewdson: I feel that same obligation. I always find that it's important to have that connection to the next generation of artists that are coming up. It keeps you vital in a certain way.
Shore: My goal as a teacher is to help [my students] find their own voice, so if I have ten people in class it means I have to think like ten different people and that has proven to be an interesting mental exercise because then when I go out to take pictures, it's like I've been flexing my esthetic faculty and I simply see more potential or see more opportunities, and wind up taking pictures that don't look like my pictures. This whole process, this whole endeavor of teaching has pushed my own boundaries.
Crewdson: What words of advice would you give a young photographer?
Shore: Don't try to please anyone else, unless you are going to Bard or Yale.

Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System w/CO2 Activator & Stabilizer by Hagen.
This system has been designed to supply any aquarium with a safe, economical and efficient method of providing aquarium plants with nature's most powerful carbon source for plants.
Employing a natural fermentation process for CO-2 eliminates the need for inconvenient pressurized cylinders. The system allows quick, easy and economical refills of ingredients to provide continuous CO-2 for a 3-4 week period. The special fermentation canister has been developed to support consistent carbon dioxide output.
Comes with: Fermentation canister, bubble counter/diffuser, CO-2 resistant airline tubing, 3 suction cups and a holder, 3 activator and 3 stabilizer packets (good for a 3 months supply).
Good for aquarium up to 20 gallons.
Size: 3" diameter x 7 3/4" high (8 1/4" with airline adapter)
How it works:
Once the fermentation contents are sealed in the canister, fermenation takes place, which causes the creation and expulsion of CO-2.
The fermentation canister has a Thermo-Regulation system that buffers abrupt changes in temperature inside the canister caused by external temperature variations.
Additionally, the patented Pressure-Release safety cover prevents internal pressure from exceeding safe limits.
The CO-2 bubbles move from the fermentation canister to the bubble counter. There, the bubbles follow a 3 dimensional route.
This system has an extended diffusion path within a smaller area, providing longer contact time to ensure efficient diffusion (absorption) of CO-2 into the aquarium.

Not bad Review by Derek
Product Rating:
Its ok for what it is. More effective and cheaper than some DIY CO2 kits. The ladder can easily get dirty, and the bubbles sometimes pop out, and go straight to the surface, effectively getting lost to the outside air. If you do purchase this, just make your own mix. It is just yeast and baking soda. I use about a quarter teaspoon yeast and quarter teaspoon baking soda with good results. (Posted on 12/2/2014)
CO2 Natural Plant System Review by guysamurai
This is a really cool system. Just add sugar and one of each of the packets included with the kit, and in 24 you will have CO2 in your aquarium for your aquatic plants. Price of the system and packet refills are not expensive either compared to other C02 systems. I Highly recommend this product if you want aquatic plants in your aquarium. (Posted on 2/10/2009)

The Lightning Insider - Game Day
Let tampabaylightning.com become your destination for all the latest Lightning scoops. The Lightning Insider will be in the stands, in the locker room and on the road with the team to provide you with an inside look at the Bolts as they pursue Lord Stanley's hardware. Our resident snoop will make sure you're the first to know when the Lightning are making news.
Well, tonight the Lightning's home schedule comes to a close with their final game of the season against the Washington Capitals. Don't forget to come on out for all the fan appreciation events before the game tonight, including the red carpet walk. Fans will also have the opportunity to win the jerseys off the players backs in a post-game ceremony. It should be a fun atmosphere tonight.
As for the game, the blue line will look a tad different tonight as Tampa Bay has recalled defensemen Kevin Quick from Norfolk. You'll remember Quick played four games with the Lightning earlier this season. He is a smaller player with good skating and passing ability and should help get the puck out of the defensive zone tonight. That will be a key as Tampa Bay tries to keep Alex Ovechkin and the rest of the Caps out of the offensive zone.
Karri Ramo will get the start in goal again tonight. He has faced 30 or more shots in six of his previous seven starts. Give Ramo credit though he has hung in there and kept the Lightning in most games. Rick Tocchet said this morning that Tampa Bay will need to play as a five-man unit against all the offensive firepower on the opposite side tonight. "Obviously match-ups are huge," Tocchet told the media this morning. "That's why its so important for our forwards to play a tight, back-pressure game. We can't give these guys 120 feet of offense."
On a side note, I don't think you can say enough about the professionalism and work ethic of Martin St. Louis. The guy works hard every day no matter where the team is in the standings and he is a great leader for a guy like Steven Stamkos. If Stamkos is going to learn from someone there is no better option than St. Louis. St. Louis is responsible on both sides of the ice, as evidenced by his fifth 30-goal season and his team-leading plus-6 rating, and is a great example of how to be successful in the NHL. "He's our leader and that stuff rubs off, especially on a guy like Stamkos," Tocchet said. "Marty cares and he wants to be a part of the solution, not the problem. I can't say enough about him. It makes my job easier having Marty St. Louis on the team."

Anglo's Platinum Output Falls 24%, Iron Ore Gains 17%
Anglo American Plc, the biggest platinum producer, said output of the metal fell 24 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier after it shut a plant for maintenance, with fewer safety stoppages stemming the drop.
Refined platinum production retreated to 402,800 ounces because of planned annual maintenance at a converting plant in Rustenburg, which was completed last month, Johannesburg-based Anglo American Platinum Ltd., in which Anglo has a 79.9 percent stake, said in a statement today. Safety stops fell to 13 in the quarter from 21 a year earlier and 32 in the prior three months.
"Amplats delivered a decent operational first quarter," Dominic O'Kane and Richard Knights, London-based analysts at Liberum Capital Ltd., wrote in an e-mailed note. Output was 35 percent lower than BMO Capital Markets Ltd.'s estimate of 621,000 ounces, analyst Edward Sterck said in a note.
Anglo American, which also reported a 17 percent increase in iron-ore production and a 21 percent advance in copper output for the quarter, is reviewing the platinum unit as it isn't delivering the returns the company expects, Anglo Chief Executive Officer Cynthia Carroll said Feb. 17.
Anglo American Platinum maintained its target of refining and selling 2.5 million ounces to 2.6 million ounces of the metal this year. It plans to stem cash-cost increases to between 14,000 rand ($1,788) and 14,500 rand per ounce produced, the company said.
Safety Stops
Government-imposed safety stops increased at Anglo and other South African platinum mines in the fourth quarter of last year, also cutting output by Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. and Lonmin Plc. Production from the three account for more than two-thirds of global output of the metal used in devices that cut car emissions and in jewelry.
"A lower number of safety-related stoppages is not necessarily representative for the rest of the industry and we are reluctant to jump to the conclusion that Lonmin and Aquarius Platinum will also benefit," Liberum's O'Kane and Knights said.
Anglo's metallurgical coal output rose 73 percent after recovering from floods in Australia a year earlier. Nickel production doubled as the new Barro Alto operation gradually increases production. Diamond output fell 16 percent "mainly reflecting De Beers' continued scheduled maintenance and waste stripping activities," Anglo said in a statement.
Industry Output
Anglo on Nov. 4 agreed to buy an additional 40 percent of De Beers, the biggest producer of diamonds, from the Oppenheimer family for $5.1 billion.
The company said in February it might spend $98 billion on more than 85 projects to double output, betting demand for iron ore, copper, coal and other commodities would grow. The LMEX London Metals Index sank 21 percent in the past year.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company, reported a 14 percent increase in iron ore during the quarter yesterday, while Rio Tinto Group's 9 percent increase in production of the steel-making ingredient missed estimates. Anglo's iron-ore output rose to 11.7 million tons as it gradually starts up its new Kolomela mine in South Africa.
Anglo and Xstrata Plc will struggle to achieve output targets this year at the Collahuasi copper mine, the world's third-largest mine for the metal, after heavy rain in Chile slowed work, the company said April 16.
Anglo fell 0.2 percent to close at 2,307 pence in London. It has dropped 23 percent in the past 12 months.

Moore treated the subject of mother and child repeatedly. This sculpture is one of a group of small bronzes made by the artist during the early 1950s that focus specifically on the relationship between mother and child. During the Second World War Moore's interpretation of the theme emphasised the mother's nurturing role, a response to the human suffering of war. He continued to explore this aspect of the subject in the 1950s. Here he distorts the figures to suggest the submission of the mother to the aggressive needs of the child as it tries to suckle from her breast.

K Nearest Neighbors Tutorial
Share this: Google+
This tutorial is an introduction to an instance based learning called K-Nearest Neighbor or KNN algorithm. KNN is part of supervised learning that has been used in many applications in the field of data mining, statistical pattern recognition, image processing and many others. Some successful applications are including recognition of handwriting, satellite image and EKG pattern. Instead of using sophisticated software or any programming language, I will use only spreadsheet functions of Microsoft Excel, without any macro. If you purchase the ebook of this tutorial, you can download the spreadsheet companion of this tutorial.
First, you will learn KNN for classification, then we will extend the same method for smoothing and prediction in solving time series data.

A Rebuttal on Global Trade Talks
Bob Davis moderates an ongoing debate on trade between two of the campaigns' top policy advisers. A previous question addressed whether global trade talks are fatally flawed. This is each campaign's rebuttal to responses from the previous question. Reader comments are welcome and may be used as questions in the debate.
Daniel K. Tarullo is an economic adviser to the Obama campaign. Click here for Tarullo's full bio.
When it comes to credibility, the root of the problem is at home. As reflected in his endorsement of all of President Bush's trade agreements and his stated positions during the campaign, Senator McCain will continue the trade policies of the Bush Administration. Yet many Americans have concluded that these policies are not based on the interests of the American people as a whole and have not fairly spread the benefits of trade. Sound and sustainable international economic policies require the support of the public. Americans know that in trade, as in other policies, Barack Obama will stand up for their interests. Domestic support for his policies will make an Obama Administration a strong and credible negotiator abroad.
* * *
Philip I. Levy advises the McCain campaign on international trade and development issues. Click here for Levy's full bio.
Dan and I agree on the desirability of a successful WTO agreement. I'm a bit more skeptical of whether a quick return to the table will help. This latest set of talks held ministers in Geneva for an inordinately long time, there was huge pressure to reach an agreement, and it didn't work. The conflicts that emerged were pretty fundamental — whether or not major developing nations such as India and China need to be active participants in liberalization. Hence the need for some serious thinking and consultation before talks resume. The multilateral trading system is immensely important, but the negotiation process is not working well right now.

Schools targeted by the military for new JROTC units as of Fall, 2005
Data obtained by Peacework Magazine. For information on reasons to oppose JROTC, please see the article in Peacework, including links to many other sources of good information.
The military calls these wait lists, but often only a very small number people in the school district know that the school has filled out paperwork to facilitate the invasion of the school by JROTC. The Air Force has not provided their list yet. The Army did not provide zip codes, though these are obtainable for any given school through the NCES database.

text: Hi, everyone! I was just wondering how you cook sausage. I didn't like it for a long time, so I didn't used to make it. I usually cook it on the grill. If you cook it in a pan, do you brown it at high heat, then turn the heat down? Cook it only on low heat? Put water in the pan; not put water in the pan? I usually wind up with the pan getting black and burned, but the sausages aren't done yet.

A lot of the hate towards Khan is from what I like to call the "Lampley Effect." This occurs when Lamps falls so in love with a fighter (the prime Oscar De La Hoya bringing out the worst of this) that he occasionally ignores or overstates what is actually going on in the ring for what his enthusiasm for said fighter allows him to perceive. So many of my friends I talked to after the Judah fight were sick over the way they thought HBO fell over themselves trying to hug Khan's nutz. To be honest, I agree to an extent as it almost comes off to me like they are trying to convince us he already is a superstar on this coast when, despite his vast talent and potential, he clearly isn't.
Meanwhile Tim Bradley toils in boxing's abyss. Bradley's overestimation of his own drawing / star power is almost unprecedented, which is saying something coming from a sport like boxing which seems to foster such behavior. He's bitching about all of the attention Khan has received this weekend. But had he just taken the fight and beaten Khan he could have been basking in the biggest victory of his career and one step closer to the major fight he craves. Instead he's talking about tuneups, while Richard Schafer almost scoffs at the idea of Bradley-Khan being a fight fans want to see, instead naming Khan-Morales as a more viable and exciting option. Way to go Timmy! Take your rightful place next to Hasim Rahman and Winky Wright at the head of the "Bad Boxing Business" table.
I like Saul Alvarez, but Alfonso Gomez??? I know he's only 21 years old and they are going to move him slow, which I'm fine with, but I cant help but think this is a considerable step back in level of competition. — Tom G.
I think Gomez is a very slight step back in Alvarez's level of competition. Gomez, who's riding a nice win streak since getting overwhelmed by Miguel Cotto, is not a RING-ranked contender as Ryan Rhodes was, but he's not a chump either, and I would argue that The Contender (season one) alum is more formidable/difficult than Matthew Hatton and most of the fighters on Canelo's resume (save for perhaps current lightweight beltholder Miguel Vazquez, Jose Cotto and Larry Mosley).
Gomez is a natural welterweight but he fought well (at least for five rounds) at heavier weights (156 to 159 pounds) during The Contender TV tournament, during which time he scored victories over the solid likes of Peter Manfredo and Jesse Brinkley. I absolutely favor Alvarez in this fight but I don't think it will be a walk in the park for the young Mexican star and I have no problem with Gomez as an opponent.
I think Alvarez is still a work-in-progress and I'd like to see him ripen 100 percent before he takes on the best of the 154-pound division. With his work effort and activity, I think he'll be ready for murderer's row this time next year. If we allow Alvarez to finish developing, we'll get better fights once he's turned loose. Plus, we'll get much BIGGER fights because his star power will definitely grow in the U.S. with each fight he has here. That's good for him, good for his opponents (because there will be more money for them to make), and for the sport, which desperately needs bona-fide ticket sellers/ratings getters.
I know there are cynical message board mutants out there who say he'll be protected like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as long as he continues to put butts in the seats, however, I think the young man is extremely serious about his chosen sport and he won't allow anyone to "protect" him. He wants to create a legacy and to do that he knows he has to face the best (and I think he wants to).
Speaking of legacies, I get the same vibe from Khan that I pick up from Canelo whenever I interview the British star. He wants to be regarded as an elite fighter. He wants to get into the hall of fame and he wants hardcore fans to remember him for decades after he retires.
I don't know if he can beat Bradley or the top dogs at 147 pounds but I believe that he's willing to face them and find out for himself. He deserves some respect just for that.
He's going to get respect from Yours Truly because he proved me wrong with his last fight. I thought he was vulnerable because he over-extended himself when he let his hands go. I thought he would have trouble with Judah's speed and southpaw stance. I didn't think he would be able to take a direct hit from the former welterweight champ. I was wrong, wrong and wrong again. F__k it. What else can I do but give him credit?
I think he and Bradley are the two best 140-pound fighters in the world. I don't know who would win that fight but I can't blame Khan for that showdown not happening. We all know who opted out of that fight.
However, I'm not going to piss on Bradley for a number of reasons. A) I like him. B) Everyone else has dropped their trousers and let loose with the yellow juice on poor Timmy's bald head. (The WBC practically parted their collective crusty cheeks and pinched a hot steamy Mexican-style loaf the brotha by stripping him of their precious Gumby green belt.) C) It's too early to tell if Bradley made a poor business decision. It was definitely a bad move in terms of his stature in the sport and his short-term financial gain. However, if he does get a shot at Manny Pacquiao next year then perhaps it was worth it. I know it's a long shot but it's not inconceivable. Floyd Mayweather may opt for a rematch with Victor Ortiz (win, lose or draw vs. the young gun) rather than deal with Bob Arum. Heck, if Floyd beats Ortiz as he's expected to, he might be more inclined to fight Khan than Pacquiao. Don't underestimate the ego-driven spite that exists between Arum and Mayweather. If a Mayweather fight can't be made, who will Pacquiao face in 2012? Who's a viable opponent not promoted by Golden Boy? (Don't forget, GBP gets half the money when they co-promote Manny's fights and Arum doesn't like parting with that much dough.) Is there going to be anything left of Miguel Cotto for even a master promoter like Arum to prop up as a Pacquiao opponent after the Puerto Rican's rematch with Antonio Margarito? I don't think so. So that leaves Bradley (because I KNOW Arum & Company aren't going to feed their meal ticket to Sergio Martinez.)
We'll see what happens. I hope Bradley lands on his feet. And I hope diehard American fans stop hating on Khan. I think they'll come around, but it will take time to overcome the "Lampley Effect" as well as the "Golden Boy Effect." However, if Khan stays busy (as he's scheduled to) and continues to challenge himself, I think he can earn respect in the U.S.
Hi Doug,
I read your mailbag every week but felt the need to write for the first time.
I was wondering what your view was on Amir Khan's ranking. He's recently moved ahead of Bradley to take the number one spot with THE RING at junior welterweight, but Khan is nowhere to be found in the Pound for Pound top 10 whereas Bradley is rated 6th. How can this possibly be? I understand divisional rankings don't always correspond with p4p rankings — say if a fighter with a good p4p ranking is fighting above his natural weight he might find himself ranked below fighters with no p4p ranking in that particular division — but, both Khan and Bradley have fought all of their title fights at the same weight. Explain.
Also, you said in your last mailbag that both Khan and Bradley had beaten four RING-ranked contenders but failed to include Paul McCloskey, ranked 10th at the time of his fight with Khan. — Alan Francis
You are absolutely right, Alan. My apologies to both McCloskey and to Khan. However, I still believe that Khan and Bradley are even in terms of their 140-pound opposition. Khan may have faced five RING-ranked junior welterweights to Bradley's four, but I believe that Lamont Peterson (27-0 at the time) should have been rated when Timmy fought him in December of 2009.
Regarding Bradley's ranking in THE RING Pound-for-Pound Top 10, I think it's a little high. I'm not saying Bradley isn't an elite fighter, but I have him lower than No. 6 on my personal list that I send to the Yahoo! Sports boxing poll every month. I had Timmy ranked No. 10 in the last list that I emailed to Kevin Iole of Y! Sports (in June).
And although Khan has been more active than Bradley in recent months I don't think the 24-year-old British standout has done enough to unseat the Palm Springs, Calif., native in the mythical and very subjective P4P rankings. How can that be if they're basically even in terms of their 140-pound accomplishments? Good question. For starters, Bradley is undefeated (and his 27-0 record is not of the "built-up" variety). He's never lost let alone been KTFO by a lightweight fringe contender. He won a 10-round decision over the very underrated Miguel Vazquez, the IBF lightweight titleholder whose only other losses are close welterweight bouts to Saul Alvarez, in 2007. And he's got a welterweight victory — against then-undefeated (29-0) slugger Luis Carlos Abregu last July — under his belt. Khan is just now talking about going to 147 pounds. Bradley has been there and done that.
It's not a lot, but it's just enough to keep him ahead of Khan in a pound-for-pound sense. However, if Bradley sits on his ass for another six months, and Khan beats another credible opponent in December, that can change.
What's up Dougie,
My friend and I were talking about the Khan-Judah fight this weekend. We both noticed that while Khan and his camp were dissing Bradley and talking about facing the winner of the Guerrero-Maidana in December (I doubt either guy will be ready to go in December against Khan unless something crazy happens), there was no mention of Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios.
I know he's at 135, but he is clearly willing to go up to 140. It only took Rios less than three rounds to beat Urbano Antillon and Khan beat Judah in five while coming out relatively unscathed. Both are coming off big wins so instead of Khan waiting for the winner between Guerrero-Maidana or Peterson-Cayo (who & who?) why not fight Rios in December? Khan said he wants big fights. The winner can then fight Maidana or Guerrero early next year. I'm just saying.
I think Khan's weak whiskers and Rios' steel chin and relentlessness will keep his name out of Khan and his handler's mouths for as long as it's possible. Plus, that whole Golden Boy-Top Rank cold war doesn't help. What do you think Dougie? — Miguel, LBC
GBP and Arum are beginning to work together again (see the upcoming Alvarez-Gomez and Gamboa-Ponce de Leon fights), so it's possible that this fight can happen. However, both Khan and Rios are budding/potential stars, which means both promotional companies are going to want to let the matchup "marinate" a bit. A Khan-Rios clash in late 2011 seems a bit premature to me, but I think it's a great boxer vs. pressure fighter matchup and the fight should be discussed. I also believe it can be made.
Khan's already showed that he's not afraid to face punchers. I know Rios has better technique than Maidana and bigger balls than Judah, but I doubt Khan & Co. fear him. I also know that when Robert Garcia talks about Bam Bam's move to 140 pounds the two names he throws out are Maidana and Khan. Garcia believes he's got the good with Rios. Freddie Roach believes he's got the goods with Khan. Both trainers would accept this fight without hesitation in my opinion.
However, GBP and Top Rank have immediate plans for both young guns that they are not going to break. Rios has been penciled in for the Pacquiao-Marquez undercard on Nov. 12 (unless HBO or Showtime gives up a date before then, which I doubt) and Khan is scheduled to return in December. And I think both guys have earned the right to face a non-killer as they gain more exposure and name-recognition outside of the hardcore fanbase.
I know that Richard Schaefer has mentioned Khan as a future opponent for Mayweather and Arum recently said Rios could be a potential Pacquiao foe, but I think Khan-Rios is a matchup that can explored in 2012 and if Golden Boy and Top Rank do their jobs it can be made into a high-profile event.

The proposed Navi Mumbai international airport inched one more step closer to realty as the nodal agency for its development crossed yet another hurdle.
The Maharastra government has given the City and Industrial Develoment Corporation (Cidco) an "in principle" approval to hand over 150 hectares of land for the ambitious project.
The government is expected to soon complete the pertinent formalities. Only recently had deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar met CM Prithviraj Chavan in order to expedite the handing over of the land, whose market value is of the order of Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion).
The administration's move is crucial, especially when 1,341 hectares of the total 2,054-hectare land is in Cidco's possession.
However, the Cidco was striving to acquire the balance 713 hectare. With the government's move to hand over 150 hectare, the Cidco would still have to acquire 563 hectare of land for which the notices have been served under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 to the residents of Pargaon and Owale.
These villagers have been strongly demanding a compensation of Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million) per acre.
Cidco chairman Pamod Hindurao says the deputy CM has taken an initiative in this regard and the government is son expect to issue a formal order handing over its 150 hectare land for the airport project.
"The negotiations with villagers are currently on. I am quite hopeful that a consensus will emerge to pave the way for smooth acquisition of the balance land," he said.
The authorities are to "soon" take a review of the present status of the development of the proposed airport.
The government's move comes at a time when one year would be complete on November 22 after the ministry of environment and forests gave environment clearance for the project.
The Cidco was unable to issue request for qualification in view of acquisition of total land. The state government's decision has given a partial relief, even though it would have to step up efforts to acquire the necessary land.
Hindurao now says all efforts will be made to make the first phase operational in 2014 - as announced.
The airport would handle 10 million passengers per annum in the first phase. The figure will rise to 60 million by its final phase in 2030.
RC Gharat, advisor to the airport's project-affected persons, says there has not been much progress in the negotiations with the committee headed by the Konkan Divisional Commissioner. Reason: villagers are firm on the compensation of Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million) per acre.

Rashad Khalifa (The "dajjal", liar and deceiver)
11/19/1935 - 1/31/1990
The Rashad Khalifa Cult Exposed:
An email that I received from a Muslim brother who personally knew Rashad Khalifa and worked with him in the past, demonstrating how the latter was fraudulent and deceiving throughout his life.
A biography about Rashad Khalifa, including picture.
Yes, the number 19 is miraculous in the Noble Quran and was proven to be essential in many of the Scientific Theories and Discoveries. But it doesn't at all support Rashad Khalifa's removal of two Noble Verses from the Noble Quran, and his claim to be GOD Almighty's Messenger.
My rebuttal to Rashad Khalifa's number 19 theory.
Hadith #1: Rashad Khalifa - 20th century Hadithist? This article exposes the lies and false Sayings of Dr. Khalifa that he claimed were inspired by Allah Almighty.
Hadith #2: Claim that Noble Verses 9:128-129 were "fraudulently added" to the Noble Quran.
Hadith #3: No possibility of Divine punishment for crimes committed below age 40 - Even mass murder!
Hadith #4: Rashad Khalifa was commanded by Gabriel to tell the world he was the Messiah and "second coming" of Christ.

The state Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Lee County man sentenced to life in prison in the death of his girlfriend's baby.
Christopher Brandon, of Verona, was convicted in 2009 of killing 15-month-old Xavier Staples in June of 2007. The baby was his girlfriend's son.
Authorities said Brandon had said at first that the baby had fallen from a bed. Two doctors and a pathologist testified the child's injuries were consistent with being violently shaken.
The Appeals Court on Tuesday rejected Brandon's claims prosecutors didn't prove he killed the child. The court says Brandon was alone with the child from 3 p.m. to midnight when he called 911 and a reasonable jury could conclude he killed the child.

University Buses Now Run On BioDiesel
After a month pilot program, the entire University Bus Fleet has been operating on a BioDiesel blend since the beginning of April. The BioDiesel blend, a mix of 'regular' diesel fuel and vegetable oil products, offers several advantages. The vegetable component is a renewable resource while the blend produces significantly lower emission levels. Moreover, this initiative helps the University comply with the States regulatory requirements regarding the use of 'greener' forms of energy. We are in the process of exploring the use of other alternate energy sources including the expansion of the BioDiesel program to a larger portion of the University fleet, the enhancement and redeployment of our existing electric vehicles, and the adoption of Hybrid vehicles.

"We used WPD for Save the Dates, Invites, and Rehearsal Dinner Invites and they have all been great! The only request I have is that you can't move the top few lines of this Rehearsal Dinner invite. You can edit the bottom text, but I wanted to move the top portion. The invites still turned out great, we paid extra for fast shipping and it arrived on time!"
"We used this for our son's Groom's Dinner Invitation to let the wedding party and others involved in the wedding to know the date and time of both the wedding rehearsal and the Groom's dinner. Everyone commented on the nice invitation card sent. We used the shimmer paper and a red color for their names which was real striking with the black text. We choose to keep the card rectangle shaped...it looked real classy."
"I ordered these for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding and they turned out great. They arrived earlier than what I was originally told and they looked exactly like the website showed."
"perfect choice for complimenting the style of any wedding-as mother of groom planning rehearsal dinner this provided simple elegance that is very classic. We used both front and back of the invite-front for basic invite information and back for extra details. Paper and printing were top quality as we expected from this company. Front photo of the couple looked amazing! Shipping was right on time as promised. You can't go wrong with this design and style."
"The invitation was exactly as I expected it to be. Wonderful quality. Could not be more pleased. Personalizing the invitation was made easy and was exactly as I wanted upon my first review. 5 stars all around!"
