No, you cannot open/read/write/close a network device.
You can open/read/write/close a network connection using a network
device, though, and the "open" is a tad more complicated than just
calling "open(...)":
Although networking can be on a peer-to-peer basis, most is
client/server based:
Server: socket()/bind()/listen()/accept()/read()/write()
Client: socket()/connect()/read()/write()
(this is for TCP/IP).
If you want to do network programming, get e.g. Richard Stevens' "Unix
Network Programming".
NB Some bash implementations allow to redirect stdin/stdout from/to
/ , but these are not real devices but rather
pseudo-devices detected by bash, i.e. the *only* work with redirection!

The Winner of the "Best Homemade Breakfast Recipe" Contest + the Recipe!Babble Editors
Congratulations to Averie Sunshine, whose gooey baked chocolate peanut butter donuts with vanilla peanut butter glaze won January's "My Family's Favorite Food" best homemade breakfast recipe contest! We hope you enjoy your awesome appliances from Krups! (If you missed the delicious breakfast entries, you can check out the competition here!)
In need of a mouthwatering breakfast recipe that will help lure your kids out of bed in the morning? Well lucky for you, Averie shared her recipe for these chocolate peanut butter donuts so you, too, can add a sweet and gooey treat to your breakfast table. Check out the recipe after the jump!
Baked Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts with Vanilla Peanut Butter Glaze
For the Donuts
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp peanut butter, melted
- 3/4 c all-purpose flour
- 1/3 c white sugar
- 1/4 c cocoa powder (I used Trader Joe's but you could try Hershey's Dark or any favorite)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 c buttermilk (You could use regular milk/cream/vegan milk + 1/2 tsp vinegar, to mimic buttermilk if you don't keep buttermilk on hand)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
**Yields: 6-7 donuts in a Wilton doughtnut pan. Pans vary by size but this is not a "huge" recipe. Double, triple, or halve (beat the egg and then divide in half) the recipe as desired. For the extra bit of batter, rather than waiting for my one donut pan to come out of the oven, I made two small muffins in a muffin pan with it. It took about 15 minutes for the muffins to cook through.
For the Glaze
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp peanut butter, melted
- 1/3 c (or more) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (use more if you like a stronger vanilla flavor)
- 1 tbsp of water, milk, half & half, cream, heavy cream, vegan milk, or coconut milk, etc … (I used buttermilk)
**Makes slightly more glaze than you'll likely need if you're glazing only the top half of the donuts. Store extra in the refrigerator for a later use or add to a smoothie, coffee, eat with a spoon, glaze the entire donut, or come up with your own delicious use!
Make the Donuts
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease or cooking-spray the donut pan (or muffin tin).
2. In a small bowl, soften/melt the butter and peanut butter in the microwave, about 15- 30 seconds.
3. Stir to combine.In a large bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
4. Then add in the melted butter/peanut butter mixture and stir to combine.
5. Use a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off) to pipe the batter into a 6-donut pan. Or just be extra neat and do this with a spoon, which is what I did.
6. Bake 8 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, until doughnuts spring back when touched or until dough is set. Donuts should be springy. (I always underbake my baked goods but in my oven these took 10-11 minutes to set up.)
7. Allow to cool slightly (about 5 minutes) before removing from pan.
Make the Glaze
While donuts are baking or cooling, make the glaze.
1. In a small bowl, soften/melt the butter and peanut butter in the microwave, about 15-20 seconds. Stir to combine.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla to the melted butter/peanut butter mixture and stir.
3. Slowly add the water or milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
4. Dip the donuts into the glaze while warm (or cool).
5. Add sprinkles or other extras as desired.
**To make gluten-free donuts: Use your favorite gluten free flour blend
**To make vegan donuts: My suggestion would be to replace the buttermilk with almond milk or full fat coconut milk (because it's thicker like buttermilk) and add 1 tsp vinegar as noted in the recipe to mimic buttermilk; increase the amount of baking powder and/or add baking soda. Use melted margarine or Earth Balance, and use a flax/chia egg rather than regular egg.
Stay tuned on Family Kitchen to learn about February's "My Family's Favorite Food" contest, which will be posted this Friday, Feb. 3!

An instant classic in the vein of Jurassic Park, this boundary-pushing novel has all the hallmarks of Michael Crichton's greatest adventures with its combination of pulse-pounding thrills, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research.
Three men are found dead in a locked second-floor office in Honolulu. There is no sign of struggle, though their bodies are covered in ultra-fine, razor-sharp cuts. With no evidence, the police dismiss it as a bizarre suicide pact. But the murder weapon is still in the room, almost invisible to the human eye. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students at the forefront of their fields are recruited by a pioneering microbiology start-up company. Nanigen MicroTechnologies sends them to a mysterious laboratory in Hawaii, where they are promised access to tools that will open up a whole new scientific frontier. But this opportunity of a lifetime will teach them the true cost of existing at the cutting-edge…The group becomes prey to a technology of radical, unimaginable power and is thrust out into the teeming rainforest. Armed only with their knowledge of the natural world, the young scientists face a hostile wilderness that threatens danger at every turn. To survive, they must harness the awe-inspiring creative – and destructive – forces of nature itself.

Sci-fi, mystery and action-adventure fan
"Crichton's final novel"
This is officially Michael Crichton's final novel, although it was actually a half finished work completed by writer Richard Preston.
The story is basically a serious take on Honey I Shrunk the Kids and for what it is, it's an action-packed and often engaging listen. The story has some plot holes, but overall if you overlook the shortcomings and perhaps the dodgy science, it's a pretty good book. Certainly it's a more engaging book than the last few Crichton novels like Airframe.
Am nearing 84, have 3 children, 5 grandchildren and 1 half Japanese great grandson all delightful. Enjoy listening & reading
"A Marathon of Concentration"
Am an avid fan of Michael Connolly but he tested me to the limit with this one. I'm sure I wouldn't have lasted the distance if reading but Mr Lloyd's smooth narration kept me on course. I imagine a 3D movie is already being mooted bringing to life the mini humans fighting for their lives against the dastardly villain and mother nature. Bring it on!
"Does not Live up to Michael Crichton's Standard"
Unfortunately, the 'science' is too poorly developed and many aspects and inconsistencies in the interaction of micro-humans with the regular world remain unexplained.
The other books by Michael Crichton that I have read were always thoroughly researched and the science—even though fictional—was logical and believable.
The narrator didn't help the story at all either. The reading was emotionless and I often got confused about which character is currently talking. The situation was made worse by the fact that the chapter marks did not match the chapters in the book.
My conclusion is that I would not recommend this book even to die-hard Crichton fans.
"Crichton would have been disappointed."
This is the book Michael Crichton had supposedly partly written before he died. In reality I suspect that Crichton did no more than construct a plot outline and the book was largely the work of Preston. Like so many other books that purport to be 'co-written', it trades on the name and reputation of the established author but does not possess the quality writing that gained the author his original reputation because in actuality it has been write by someone of much lesser capability.
The plot is a great idea. It is all about a company that develops (and uses for badness and evil) a variant of nanotechnology where it actually shrinks things and people to a tiny proportion of their original size. It covers the adventures of 6 science students who discover something is wrong and are shrunk themselves and dumped in the jungle in Hawaii and their battles to survive against insects and birds (and of course, the baddies). However the characters are poor, the dialogue is atrocious and it is just badly written and presented.
"Less "Dr Evil", more science."
I had real trouble getting past the science/hand waving going on here. And, having somehow managed to temporarily suspend disbelief, I then had great trouble with the way the antagonist went about making money from the unbelievable technology.
I know this is fiction, but the obvious comparison with Jurassic Park makes most of this plot look like something out of an Austin Powers movie.
There were some interesting ideas about life in the micro world, and some action sequences that may translate to a movie, however the edge was taken off these for me because I did not really care who lived and who died.
The narration was competent, possibly even good, however I had to listen to this at 1.5x just to get though it.
"Classic Crichton - engrossing & fast paced"
Classic Cricthon, strongly reminiscent of Timeline. Fast moving, well read, with excellent vivid descriptions of the landscape and perils that face the shrunken scientists. I have read some reviews saying that this is copying other people's work, but I disagree. The idea of shrinking people is fascinating and this is a different approach, with this great author's personal take on the situation. I am not sure if the technical stuff re venoms & insect behaviour etc is accurate, but it is convincing and spellbinding for us non-scientists. A good engrossing story. The bad guy heads up a nano technology company based in Hawaii, and he micro shrinks a group of young scientist in a bid to kill them. They have to trek across the jungle to try to get back to HQ, but have only 3 days to get there. Thrilling stuff.
"Nothing New"
'Honey, I shrunk the kids' meets 'fantastic voyage' - passes the time but not as fast paced as usual Crichton titles.
As a side note - for UK listeners, listen at 1.5x speed if you have the ability as the narration is very slow.
"Very clever idea"
I really enjoyed this book, which hinges on the idea of what it would be like to be living in the world with a body the size of an insect. It was cleverly done and had me gripped thoughout. There were also some major surprises to the plot-line which I won't tell you lest it spoil your own enjoyment. All in all a good listen.
"Small Wonder (Part 1)"
Received this audio book as a gift and had never read anything by Michael Cricton before, so had no pre-conceptions. I was not disappointed by this book at all. In fact, I thought it an enthralling and competently written story. I felt it reflected the classic adventure/fantasy genre well and didn't waste unnecessary complex or clever pros on something designed to be easily consumable and appeal to a broad audience. No one would claim that, for example, the Indiana Jones stories are highly sophisticated plots or characterisations, but they are successful and entertaining because they do what they are intended to do and do it without any pretensions. Having looked over a few reviews of other Cricton books on Audible, it does seem that people either like or loathe his stories, so I guess I should perhaps expect no different from this title. However, some of the overly scathing remarks made of this title are, I feel, unfair or excessively critical. I have read many books and have come across many far less enjoyable than Micro and which were far more lauded by the public. As always, any views on such things is subjective, of course, but when someone wants their money back after only listening to around 8% of the book, then I feel this is rather over the top. I checked out the position in the story that this reviewer said they gave up at and the adventure hadn't even started yet! So, to judge something as awful when things haven't really got going yet is a little unfair I think. Micro certainly leaves you with a greater understanding about the world of the small with all its beauty, wonder and terror and will make you think differently about the micro world all around us. I found this title to be very entertaining and with some unexpected elements and plot twists and well worth the read. Sure, one reviewer said it was hardly original. Well, most things aren't. True originality is very difficult as so many stories have been done before. ...
Flatly narrated and with a predictable plot. An unfortunate fall from grace by Michael Chrichton.
"Thought provoking exciting. Dreamworks have the film rights"
Like Jurassic park this book leaps through perceived boundaries this time into the intriguing world of quantum physics. Enthralling exciting and quite evocative you are transported to our world from a half inch high perspective. Over written in a few places but still a great read and I hope the film does it justice and the Jurassic four films have done
Steve L
"a very small story"
the book had a promising beginning before it tailed off into a very long story which I only stuck with because I believed it could not get any worse but it did. characters were poorly drawn and 2 dimensional
"You can tell when M.Crichton stopped writing this."
I liked the beginning. The story was coherent at the start. All Michael Crichton books have a level of science to them - sometimes it's so interesting I look it up just to see how far along the technology he wrote about is and whether it is in development or not. But then the book got silly. No scientific basis, it ended up being the Borrowers go Hawaiian.
Michael Crichton yes - Richard Preston no. I just don't think any other author could explain scientific possibilities on a level that non-scientists/doctors could understand the way that Crichton did. He also made it exciting and enjoyable. Preston changed the mood of the book, it was cartoon-ish..
"Awful, leave the book unwritten next time!"
Michael Cricton wrote some fantastic easy reads, this is not one of them
An epic fantasy with developed characters
Nope, narration is very much stadium anouncer
Disappointing, underwhelming, waste of a precious credit :(
Posthumous novels, with the exception of wheel of time series, generally feel like a hollow echo. This book is like a Cricton greatest hits show, but without the polish or flare that makes you bond with the characters or care about the story. Cliches galore and 1d characters make for a long 10 hrs
"Interesting, but thats all"
Was not happy with the narrator of this book, one of the female characters sounded like the terminator (yes I said female !!!). It spoilt the story a bit for me. I have always really enjoyed Micheal Crichton books, such as air frame, prey, state of fear and jurasic park and so on. This book seemed to be lacking something. Can't put my finger on it. I still enjoyed it but can't rave over it.

About 6,000 people in California have been ordered out of their homes by authorities worried that a wildfire is quickly moving toward a more populous area southeast of Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times reports:
"Fire commanders leading the battle to stop the 19,600-acre Mountain fire were concerned about a shift in the winds Wednesday night that was pushing the blaze toward the resort town of Idyllwild, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Melody Lardner told The Times.
"The forward advance of the blaze, which was only 15% contained, had been burning toward desert areas but changed direction after a frontal system began moving into the area, Lardner said.
"'They are stepping up their efforts,' she said of the firefighters trying to stop the flames as they burned across timber and dry chaparral."
The Associated Press reports that the wildfire has already destroyed "three houses, damaged another and destroyed three mobile homes, a cabin, a garage and about a half-dozen vehicles."
Also, current weather conditions favor the fire: Temperatures might soar to 105 degrees Thursday, and the humidity could drop below 1 percent.
"I was here at sun-up, and the fire was burning like it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That is extreme fire behavior," Tina Rose, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, told the AP. "The slightest little spark is going to make a run and torch trees. It's just so bone dry."

West Ranch girls head basketball coach Randy Smith recently resigned and the Wildcats have filled the position with a familiar face.
Allison Moore, Smith's assistant for each of his five seasons, has been hired to take over the program.
Moore, a Valencia High graduate and a former varsity player under current Vikings head coach Jerry Mike, becomes the third girls basketball coach in West Ranch history.
She was originally brought into the program under first head coach Ron Manalastas, but never made it to a season with him because of his resignation prior to the 2008-09 season.
"My goal is definitely to build a program," Moore said. "I remember as a player I really admired what (Mike) did. He was running the same stuff at all the levels. By the time you moved from freshman all the way to varsity, you knew that program so well."
Moore will have arguably the top returning player in the Foothill League to build around in 2013-14 in senior-to-be and All-Santa Clarita Valley and All-Foothill League first team guard Whitney Branham.
Smith led the Wildcats to the CIF-Southern Section postseason in each of his five seasons, compiling a 74-56 record.
"One of the primary reasons is some of the fire was gone," Smith said on why he resigned.
Smith, who was also West Ranch's head track and field coach in the past, will be taking on a heavier class load in the fall.
In other West Ranch coaching news, the school hired Fausto Arana to take over the boys soccer program.
Arana had coached at Hart and Golden Valley highs most recently.
He replaces Fred McGinn, who was the head coach the last two seasons.
West Ranch Athletic Director Cassandra Perez said he resigned to focus on his off-campus job.

I bet some of you don't have that "something" you feel you want or need because you're more moved on emotion: fear for example. If that's you, then you and I have a lot in common. I hate to disappoint here, but I have always felt that transparency heals. And that's why I am here. To heal. So, let me keep it real with you. I struggle with trusting men. Even worse, when God tells me to trust him and not man, many times I rebel. In other words, instead of believing God's Got This, emotion sets in, experiences race through my mind, and the emotions drown out God talking to me, and The Holy Spirit, well, all of a sudden He doesn't seem to make much sense. In fact, I recently had to repent for not picking up a phone call God told me to. God said, "Portia, what's right?" And I shrugged, "I know what's right, but I'm not doing it." BIG MISTAKE. I think about it and say if I were in that boat and Jesus told me to come walk on the water, I would've been the one disciple to say, "Who? Me? Uh, nah, I'll pass." When we don't do what is RIGHT, when we ignore God, you'll pay the price for it. Your decision might FEEL right when you're in the thick of your emotions, but as the emotions level out, we learn emotional decisions are some of the worst decisions we'll ever make in life. Satan and I happen to war there-right in my emotions.
So, how do you do better the next time? Well, have Christian accountability partners and mentors who love you, know YOU and walk in the Spirit. My mentors let me know when I think I'm Julia Roberts on my "Runaway Bride" tangent. Also, I ask myself, "what is the right thing to do Portia? What are the consequences to following your emotions? What has happened in the past when you ignored God? I know it FEELS like you have the right to feel this way, but what would Jesus do?" If I had asked those questions and LISTENED, I probably would be married right about now. With that said, don't trust your emotions. They lie. Your feelings are often damaged or fickle due to past wounds, experiences, opinions. So, base your decisions on God's Word and leave the consequences to HIM no matter how you feel. I know it's scary not to control circumstances especially when it involves your heart, but whatever it is that you want, it will involve some risk. I'm not crazy about risk, but trusting God means me being the wife I know I am. Moving forward, if you don't trust God, ask for forgiveness and ask him to help you in your unbelief. Let's learn to trust together. p
Mark 9 v 23 – 24:

Well.....daddy's back!!!!
Anyway, here, for your reading pleasure is a brief recap of my now concluded tip to New York from LA. For berevity, I'll only recount airplane related activities. I won't get into the partying, visiting, or sight seeing.
Tuesday, October 24:
National Airlines LAX-LAS
Flew on 757 N521NA
Check in was fast. Hardly any line. Great ticket counter crew. Departed on time. In flight service not too shabby, but one F/A was being a bit cranky and barked at a Japanese tourist to shut off his Camcorder while in flight. I found myself wondering what he could've done to deserve that kind of treatment especially as he was being quiet and well mannered, not committing one of those endless series of petty offenses that the FAA always screams about-such as carrying hand grenades on board. The service of drink and cinnamon graham crackers was adequate and a welcome departure from the ubiquitous peanuts found on that route.
Another good flight. Service was better than average, although the food wasn't all that great: beef ravioli. Had the consistency of week old chewing gum, and a flavor that was so elusive as to be indescribable. A heavy dose of salt and pepper gave me raviloli flavored salt and pepper. Probably the best touch was the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies a la Midwest Express. Too bad they were kinda stingy and only gave us each one. Needless to say, upon landing in Newark, my friends tha picked me up headed straight to my favorite pizza place on Staten Island, Genarros, on the corner of Hylan Blvd and New Dorp Lane.
My only other complaint was the sheer fullness of the plane. Leg and hip room were sorely missed commodities. But the flight was smooth, virtually no turbulence, and we landed smoothly and on time.
Wednesday, October 25:
Drove to JFK for the first time. Followed the color coded signs tofind Jet Blue, which was the reason I went there. I was amazed at how large JFK really is. I must've not read the signs right and ended up parking in the garage for the 4E/4W terminal, so I had to hike about half a mile through lots of construction to arrive at terminal 6.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but much to my surprised delight, the dreaded "ticketed passengers only" signage was nowhere to be seen in the JB terminal. I was a bit depessed when after an in depth survey of the terminal, that the only way I was going to get good JB pix was to wait until the afternoon when th sun crawls to the other side of the sky. If you've ever been to Terminal A or B at Las Vegas, or the old terminal at San Diego, or even Terminal A at Newark, you'll have an idea what the JB gate area is like. It's round, faces the wrong way, and the jetways block the windows. Fortunately, I found a spot kind of in the corner were I coul shoot past the jetways, and get some good pix. Also, much to my chagrin, the runway on that side of the airport receives about .0000023% of the action at JFK, which means I found myself staring at an empty runway, all the while the A340's, 747's, 777's, 737's, and 707's were using the other runway. But I did get 3 American Barebus A300's to shoot, which I've wanted for quite awhile.
While there, I walked across the way to the TWA terminal. I burst out loud laughing when I saw it. I would swear in a court of law that they modeled it after the Jetsons. I mean it was probably futuristic looking and modern in 1964, but looks so passe now as to be comical. And of course, they have signs all over the place there telling you how welcome you are-such as "no visitors beyond this point". And of course the dreaded signage I mentioned earlier was found in abundance. For an airline that boasts itself as having the "red carpet club", they hardly roll it out for anyone in JFK. No wonder their business there has been swirling down the toilet for several years. I promptly removed myself from that building.
JB was having some operational difficulties that day, and there were cancellations left and right, which means many of my would be photo ops would not come to fruition. At least not on this day. Plus, there were some clouds rolling in by the PM, so I called it a day early. I returned to Staten Island kind of bummed.
Saturday, October 28
Drove to LGA
Gorgeous, cloudless day. High winds dictated that all takeoffs and landings had to be on the same runway, the east-west one (sorry...don't know headings).
Parked my kiester in the USAirways terminal, and shot about 9 rolls of film in 2 hours. Need I say more?
Takeoff's stacked sometimes as much as 17 planes deep, which meant that they were waiting on the taxiway-in front of me-allowing me to compose perfect shots. They couldn't be moving slower. No blurry, or off center shots to worry about. An airliner photographers dream.
Goodies include the US Shuttle A319+20, Metrojet, USAirways, AirTran DC-9, Midway CRJ, Deltaflot 738. Delta connection Dornier 328, AA Eagle Embraer 135, Delta SLC '02 757....just to name a few.
Sunday, October 29:
Drove again to LGA to get some scraps and follow up shots. Didn't get much as the clouds rolled in about 10 minutes after I got there.
For all you New Yorkers, take a gander at this:
I drove from LGA to JFK via the Van Wyck, drove once around the JFK entrance road, and back across the Belt Pkwy, and was at the toll booths of the Verrazano Bridge in 45 minutes.
No traffic!!!!!!!!
Monday, October 30
Didn't visit any airports due to excessive cloud cover, but I did pay a visit to The Airplane Shop in Fairfield New Jersey.
I highly recommend that all of you pay that place a visit someday. I had to call and ask directions. It sits in an anonymous industrial building off the main highway on a small street.
Let's just say that if I went there with $2000 in my pocket, I would've left without a dime in my pocket!
It's not a very big place, and they just moved in-so a lot of stuff was still in boxes, but the folks there were nice, and let me rummage through it all. More models, Gemini jet's, tie tacks, books, etc than I've ever seen in one place!!!!!
I ended up only buying some Gemini Jets. But I did get a business card, and now that I know where it is, I can either go there again, or dispatch one of my freinds to go there and get me stuff.
Tuesday, October 31:
Drove to PHL. Cloudy in New York, but cloudLESS in PHL.
Drove mainly to get USAirways pix, which I did get, except for the A330. Try as I may, it was simply not possible to get it at the terminal.
Also, discovered that AirTran once again moved to the very far end of the D terminal, which spelt out that I would not get any pictures of them-which ensured that someting I would want would show up...namely an old 737 in the old, original AirTran livery...which I helplessly watched come and go.
Of some consolation was the American 727....
Wednesday, November 01:
Another beautiful, cloudless day in New York City.
Didn't need much. Drove up to LGA one last time, with one picture in mind: The AirTran 717.
I waited for the 1100 arrival in the food court overlooking the C gates that it parks at. It showed up on time. Just as it pulled in, the light and angle were perfect, and I shot about 20 pictures in about 30 seconds. Thank God the arrivals and departures at LGA are so slow and deliberate.
After that, I hightailed it down to JFK, and arrived just in time to catch the 1230 trio arrivals. Again, I was ecstatic as each one of the three were one of each of JB's tail liveries. I did an entire JB livery shoot in less than 10 minutes. And the sky was sooooooo blue, which made for even better pictures than I got earlier. No haze in the background.
Thursday, November 02:
Was dropped off at EWR at 0600 to catch my 0750 flight. I was kindly informed that there would be a delay of about an hour.
My first thought was: "how the hell can you blow the first flight of the day?"
Then I realized it was actually an inbound red-eye from LAS. So I languished in the moribund lounge that is Newarks Terminal A. As per typical airline protocol, no reasonable explanation for the delay was offered. They could've at least tried to blame it on the Time Change, but not even that was offerered.
Finally, N526NA showed up, and we boarded.
After a lenghty stay on the taxiway, we departed and were westbound for Las Vegas. For the most part, the servive was again good-except for this one very paranoid looking female f/a. As per usual, I rode in the very back of the plane. I actually relocated myself to the very back-row 33 to have all to myself-so that 1) I wouldn't have to share, and 2) the couple that occupied the othe two seats of row 31 could have that row to themselves.
Anyway, getting back to the schizoid f/a, every time one of them entered or left the aft galley-and I do mean EVERY time, she would slam (not pull) the curtain shut. It made me wonder if she was slipping cyanide tablets into the food and didn't want to be caught.
The meal service consisted of an egg and cheese omelette, which I must say was a lot more flavorful than the Chef Boyardee ravioli served on the way up. Awhile later, the cookies were passed out, again, with a limit to one per passenger.
About a third of the way across, we had some pretty severe turbulence. Fortunately, it soon subsided to a smooth ride the rest of the way.
I also managed to collect a couple of safety cards, and 2 bottles of water that I plan to add to my memorabilia collection. If you have never seen them, they have a transparent portrait of one of their planes stickered onto the bottle, and when held up to the light, they are very neat little trinkets indeed.
Anyway, Captain National did manage to get us into LAS with about one minute to spare to catch the connecting flights to LAX and SFO. As we pulled up to the gate, I sprinted from my seat to try and get off ASAP. I got up to about row 20 before everyone else stood up. The paranoid F/A made a final announcement-directed at me-that it's dangerous to stand up while the plane is still moving. I know the announcement was meant for me personally because she told a full 757 that "the gentleman that was seated in the back and rushed the cabin before the seat belt sign is turned off-that is a very dangerous thing to do and is disrespectful to the crew".
That jolted, humbled and startled me...for about 3 nanoseconds......
I literrally walked off of one plane, and right onto the other. I've heard of tight connections, but 45 seconds....sheesh!!!!!
N523NA was waiting at gate D1. I boarded, found my seat, and we flew uneventfully on the 40 minute final leg to LAX.
Even though I enjoyed my trip, I was very glad to be back home.
So, here's the Matt D rating on National on a 1-10 scale, 10 being fantastic, and 1 being hopelessly mediocre:
Ticket and gate agents: 9
Flight crew: 7+
Aircraft cleanliness: 9-
Aircraft mood: 8
Punctuality (outbound) 10
Punctuality (inbound) 3
Food: 6+
Overall rating: 7+

Christian Gordon, Scotch Plains-Fanwood
Senior, 6-0, 155 lbs, Attack
Just the Facts: Having been there since the inception of the varsity program, Gordon is putting together quite a senior season. The four-year starter leads Scotch Plains-Fanwood with 45 goals to go along with 15 assists while helping the team to an 11-2 start. He became the program's all-time leading scorer earlier this week and currently stands at 124 career points. His team has earned the three seed in the upcoming Union County Tournament.
Coach's Comments: "Christian has been a four year starter and has progressed every year. This year he's really playing as a senior. He's our biggest threat on offense. He's been that marquee guy for us. We look to him in tight situations." – Scotch Plains-Fanwood coach Nick Miceli
On the team's season so far: "We're very successful this year. We had a tough loss to St. Joseph (Met.) and to Westfield. But all of the 16 seniors are doing really well and everyone is stepping up and playing the way we want to play. It's a bright future."
On the upcoming Union County Tournament: "We have a first round bye and then have the winner of Johnson vs. Cranford. We've already beaten those teams so I think we should move on. We then play Westfield who we were beating at half. So we'll see if we can do it for a whole game."
On becoming the school's all-time leading scorer: "It feels great. I couldn't have done it without my teammates and parents and everyone who supports me. It feels great to have the title but my brother, Robert, is a freshman and is coming up so hopefully he can catch up."
What is working for the team this season?: "It's mostly seniors who are playing now and we've all been playing together 4-5 years now. So we all have a connection with each other. We're experienced and that's the perks of having a senior team. We have experienced attackmen, middies who can run up and down and clear and the defense is unstoppable."
When he started playing lacrosse: "Third Grade. Two years before SPF had a program, I played at Westfield until the fourth or fifth grade and then we started a program here. The first year we had a varsity team I was a freshman and made varsity. Brian Heath, Thomas Walker and I made varsity as freshman. I've seen the program grow. It feels good to know I've played varsity for four years. It gives me an advantage. Thomas and Brian have played with me and we're all captains. We've put in a lot of work for the program and its nice to be having a successful senior year."
Favorite movies: "Blow" and "Silence of the Lambs"
Favorite TV show: "Breaking Bad"
Favorite class: "Math taking calculus right now."
College plans: Committed to Drexel about a week or two ago. "Looking to study engineering there. Going to try and walk on to the lacrosse team. Will work out this summer. Practice, gym, training. If not, plans to play club.
Superstitions?: "During 10th period Entrepreneurship class I watch college and pro highlights before every game."
Best present you've ever been given?: "The Snowboard I got last year."
Favorite food: Porterhouse steak and Mac and cheese
In 10 years...: "I hope to graduate with a Masters in engineering and move on to either start my own firm or work for a big time engineering firm. Leaning towards mechanical engineering."
Dinner for four: "My great grandfather-- he's the most special person in my life. He did a lot to bring the family over here in WWII. I get hour upon hour of lectures from him. He's getting old now and he just wants to see me graduate and I'm hoping he makes it. Barack Obama and Jesus too.

I have a feeling that Frank is one of those kids whose mom tried to abort him in the womb with a dirty clothes hanger and failed, but not before poking him a few times through his soft, developing skull.
I was riding around on my rascal last weekend in downtown Denver. There was about 20 of this fucking occupy hippies. I rode by and yelled get a job hippie.
francicone, yeah, Wii is still in the picture for us for the reason you mentioned. The thing with Wii is that we played it a few times at our friends', and the only game there that we really actually enjoy is Wii Sports, and Rock Band. All the other games don't seem to take advantage of the Wii controller properly. It's like, "we have this great new way of controlling the game, but we're clueless about how the fuck to properly utilize it to actually make it fun." So many games seem to just center around the fact that you can move the nunchuk around to do shit, which I guess is supposed to make it fun, so they make you do some stupid action a hundred times to do some simple shit. As soon as a game makes me wave the controller up and down repeatedly (making you look like you're furiously jacking off a horse) to achieve something makes me want to chuck the shit at the TV. Basically, the games treat the innovative controller as an afterthought, or even worse, they force you to use motion when simply pressing a button would work so much better. Plus, only the minority of the games don't suck balls.As far as modding, I'm not really that interested in modding the console myself. I doubt there are torrents with any seeders left for PS2 or XBOX games by now. It'll be far easier to find a used modded one. What I'm wondering is what limitations modding has, if any.I think PS2 is the one we'll be going with so far.
The shortbus is a lot like heroin addiction. Once you get in, it's very difficult to get out of it.

What's the biggest thing that Eric Sherman has learned through his career in cable, music and entertainment?
It all boils down to brand.
The speaker at the 10th annual Chuck and Elaine Sherman Lecture on Oct. 4, Sherman is the executive vice president of business development at Simon Fuller's XIX Entertainment in New York. He's helped to launch cable channels and, for the past few years, has managed the career of Steven Tyler.
He shared stories of both his successful and failed attempts at building brands, including the reinvention of Aerosmith's lead singer.
Sherman and Tyler started working together in 2009.
"I thought it was going to be a wild ride and it was wilder that I ever imagined," Sherman said.

There had been some damage to Tyler's brand, including a YouTube video of him falling off the stage at a concert, likely because of chemical impairment. So, together, they set some goals. They wanted to give him a new identity outside of Aerosmith, using endorsements, fashion and books. Sherman wanted broaden his audience through new avenues of exposure.
Sherman said the private Tyler is an incredible father, great with kids and is a funny, generous and compassionate person. It was time for the public to see this side.
The solution came in a limousine ride after a concert in the U.K. The radio newscast said Simon Cowell was leaving American Idol.
"Steven turned to me and said, 'Get me that job'," Sherman said.
The impact was strong and immediate. Sherman showed the audience a clip from the American Idol auditions in which Tyler meets a contestant's physically challenged fiancée.
"He sings so good because he sings to you," Tyler tells her.
It was this moment that led to a Rolling Stone headline that reads "From Bad Boy to America's Sweetheart."
Sherman told of another success story, the launch of VH1 Classic, and of a project that didn't go so well, MTV Espanol.
"We didn't do enough research," he said of the failed MTV subsidiary.
They created a channel for Spanish-language music to young Hispanics in America, but "they're not speaking Spanish." That audience segment was watching the English version of MTV and did not want to move over, he said.
"We really did a pretty bad job here," he said.
Sherman ended with some advice to the students in the room about how they portray themselves to the world. He said to think about everything they post online.
"Use these platforms, but use them cautiously," Sherman said. "Whether you know it or not, you're building your own brand."

Patricia Krentcil gained national notoriety and became a favorite of Howard Stern after taking her 5-year-old daughter to the tanning salon.
Because our society is such that it is, Krentcil is still on the publicity-hound circuit, this time hooking up with celebrity-boxing promoter Damon Feldman.
But Feldman is looking for an opponent for the leathery lady. Want a chance to win $5,000 on a Tan Mom TKO (take home $1,000 for a win, $500 for just stepping into the ring)? Go to WXENT.com to register. The fight is scheduled for June 14 in Atlantic City.

Tuesday, June 12, 2012
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter in the public interest for the tri-county area to clear up a lot of misunderstanding and some public assumption as to why we have had so many traffic accidents and deaths on our highways and secondary roads. You dont have to agree with me, but consider the following facts and figures. I believe with my training, experience and dedicated qualifications, working with all law enforcement officials and personnel of interest, that the driver behind the wheel is responsible for the majority of accidents, not highway or road conditions, as so many like to blame. True, we dont have the best roads in the nation, but that is not the problem. The Department of Transportation is making progress in improving our roads, and construction always creates hazardous conditions, and I do not feel the four-way stop signs contribute to accidents as much as some intersections that were poorly designed.
I have been a licensed insurance adjuster full-time, have owned and managed an adjusting company, have reconstructed accident scenes, have been a judge on arbitration, vice president of marketing and claims of a major insurance company, statistical research director, advisor to the governor, and the chief insurance commissioner, and have worked closely with the Highway Dept. of South Carolina.
You, the people of Berkeley County, elected me your Coroner, and I was re-elected twice before retiring after serving you for 12 years. I was not a politician, but we cleaned that office up, and it was recognized four times nationwide for what we did for the people. It was my heartbreaking duty to investigate almost every conceivable type of accident and death, many of which were caused by pure carelessness and irresponsible drivers.
The section of I-26 from the I-95 intersection of Charleston, east and west, is the section waiting for an accident to happen to due to speed, fatigue, going to sleep after driving all night, trucks running side by side blocking vision, small vehicles running 85 to 95 mph in a 70 mph zone, losing control and trying to recover. Those trees dont move, the driver and passengers do when rescue and the coroner leave the scene to notify a loved one. Sounds cruel? Then think about the next time you drink and drive, run stop signs or try to speed up to beat a red light or go down the highway with a phone crammed in your ear or texting and not paying attention to your responsibility as a driver. These are wonderful gadgets, but there is a time and place for all and you dont have to endanger someone elses life to show you have some degree of common sense with attitude of being responsible for your actions.
Listen to the state troopers and other law enforcement officers. They are trying to save lives and prevent accidents.
What kind of driver are you? Do you feel you are an exception to the rules of being courteous and considerate? Do you take the attitude that no one is going to tell me I MUST wear a seatbelt or a helmet when riding a motorcycle? Sometimes I wish some of our drivers would have had the opportunity to observe a scene that was repeated thousands of times, when the first responders, EMS, troopers and other law enforcement and the coroner have lived through it so many times. If you dont value or care for your own life or well-being, then try to think about your loved ones that have to depend on you.

Shellfish and mollusks are great. Eggs, cheese and other quality grass fed dairy. Gelatin: make homemade jello or fruit gummies. You don't really have to eat much meat to get quality protein. These alternatives are just fine.
Hi I have read so much on the benefits of eating primal and I really want to commit to a change of lifestyle and all the benefits but taste wise... I don't really like meat. Any tips or ideas? For some reason I don't mind fish and types of mince. Anyone else like me?

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
Thanks for your reply. I have been lurking on this forum for a long time and people seem to rave on about different types of meat... which I respect as everyone has different taste buds but for me it just wasn't working.
Any and all fish, Prawns, scallops, crab, lobster, crayfish, mussels, oysters, clams, squid, etc.....
If it wasent so exspensive id eat a lot of prawns and oysters....
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
Mince is what we in the States call ground beef, right? That's cool. I love ground meats and have been doing my own in the food processor for a few months. In addition to all the suggestions above, go for grass fed mince (which I think is very available in Australia?). It's such an easy and versatile meat. From additions to other dishes to meatloaves, burgers, etc. Also, if available, ground lamb is luscious. Ground pork, if you can find a healthy source comes by way of sausage, or in bulk. I'm not a fan of ground poultry because the color of it gives me the schkeves, but it's certainly a useable meat.
There's nothing that says you have to eat just steaks, chops, etc. Ground meats are fine. Some people worry that ground meats come from different animals, while a steak comes from just one. That's a personal thing and you can decide that for yourself of course.
Once you get past all of that, we'll tell you about the benefits of offal. Mince today, bison liver tomorrow!
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
Lots of spices and seasonings!
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Nothing wrong with mince. Currently I'm eating mine fried in CO with sliced mushroom and onions and with added diced offal. Minced pork I can eat just as is. Haven't yet tried the minced turkey I've got.
How are you with eggs as they're versatile and another good source of nutrition?
Me, My Father and The Alzheimer's - http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread84213.html
Yeah my wife is the same way. She'll eat eggs, chicken and pork and usually prefers the chicken and pork disguised somehow - ground up and shaped into burgers, sausages and such. We eat a lot of chicken. sometimes I think if I eat any more chicken I'm gonna grow feathers....
Eggs, sardines, and Greek yogurt are my go-tos when I'm just not in the mood for meat.

INWOOD - Musselman coach Shannon DeMasi has a theory about her team and other teams heading into today's Class AAA state softball tournament.
The fourth-year coach of the Applemen thinks at this point of the season, you either have it or you don't.
"Honestly, if you don't have it by now, you're not going to get it in four days," she said.

DeMasi hopes her Musselman squad has a few more wins left in it as the Applemen (26-3) try and win the program's first state title. Their tournament begins this afternoon against Lincoln County (28-8), which beat Musselman in 2011 en route to a state championship.
It's the first trip to the state tournament since then for either team.
"Four years ago, when we went to the state tournament, that's who we saw. Brooke West, she was a freshman then, so I'm sure she's matured and gotten better over the last four years," DeMasi said. "They field well, they hit well 1 through 9, but we do, too. Therefore, I think it's going to be a really good matchup. The girls are looking forward to it, and there's nothing like starting it out with a challenge."
Facing West will be a challenge for the Applemen, like it's been for any team that has gone up against the talented senior pitcher. In Lincoln County's win over Point Pleasant in the Region IV title game, West pitched a complete-game, two-hitter and struck out nine batters. In the five postseason games, she's allowed a total of three runs.
She also helped the Panthers knock off defending state champion Hurricane in sectional play.
Musselman has its own pair of aces to throw at the Panthers in Taylor Stocks and Sabrina Shroades. Stocks will likely get the start in the opener, but whoever DeMasi throws, the Applemen feel completely comfortable with.
One thing the Applemen have to deal with is the fact only two players on the team have played in the state tournament.
"It's a different atmosphere, by all means. They all play in big travel ball tournaments, but this is just different. You go around the curve and you see the three ballfields and the four buses that bring in the student body to lineup along the outfield fence; you can't practice that here," DeMasi said. "It's a different environment, but these girls are very headstrong, and they want it. So I think they'll have to fight the adversity, and they'll be OK."
Both teams are on long winning streaks - Musselman, winner of 15 straight, and Lincoln County, winner of 11 consecutive games. The Applemen have been dominant in the postseason, allowing just two runs in the five games, including three straight shutouts.
Besides the good pitching, both teams have big hitters, including the Panthers' Ashley Hoffman, who drove in four runs, three on a home run, in Lincoln County's regional final win.
The Applemen have two players hitting over .400, Ashley Bentley (.494) and Kelcie Jenkins (.438). Shroades leads in RBI and home runs, while Bentley also leads in hits.
The winner of Musselman-Lincoln County game will play a second game today against the winner of Wheeling Park-Ripley, which begins at 10 a.m. the losers also play in the double-elimination event. The championship round is set for Thursday afternoon.
The two have a combined record of 20-2. Shroades pitched a no-hitter in the Region II championship-game win over Buckhannon-Upshur, striking out 10 batters.
"We have the utmost confidence in both girls," DeMasi said.
DeMasi is confident her players have things in check as they enter the tournament. She pointed out that much of the preparation for states was getting stronger at what her team's already good at.
"I just think you polish off everything all together," she said. "You just take what you've been doing well, and you just polish it and go in with a positive attitude that everything's going to be OK.
"We don't just want to get there, we want to go there and compete."

School's Out, Bad Air's In
Smog Could Put a Damper on Summer Vacations This Year
SOURCE: AP/Nam Y. Huh
It's a classic anthem that much of America's youth can't wait to celebrate:
School's out for summer! School's out forever!
Act: Urge the EPA to clean up our air now
Take action for clean air now!
Please submit a public comment to the EPA in support of strong air toxics rules here, urging further action to clean up our air and thanking them for their proposed safeguards.
Many young people will be spending less time in the classroom and more time having fun outdoors as the school year draws to a close and the summer weather heats up. Unfortunately, this seasonal reprieve from classrooms, tests, and homework could be putting millions of American children's health in harm's way.
Summer "smog," or ground-level ozone, forms in hot weather, aggravating asthma and other breathing problems particularly for children spending increased time outdoors. Hot, sunny days provide the perfect condition for smog levels to go through the roof—resulting in "code red" days, meaning that outdoor activities should be severely restricted, especially for young children and the elderly.
And it's not just summer smog: Asthma rates and other respiratory problems are higher in places with bad air quality year round. Though asthma has no known cure, it is severely aggravated by dirty air and can be controlled by limiting exposure to asthma triggers such as smog and toxic air pollutants from coal-fired power plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, is already working on tightening pollution standards for both ozone and power plant air toxics. These two proposals are both critical to cleaning up our air. But in the meantime, as we head into summer months, children and families need to be especially careful about limiting exposure to bad air and dangerous pollutants by monitoring the Air Quality Index and staying indoors at peak pollution times.
Our kids need clean air
Smog combines with unchecked toxic emissions from power plants to create a problem serious enough to warrant an official hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works this month. As discussed by experts and lawmakers, including Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) and several medical professionals, summertime is the season for the nation's most dangerous air quality—particularly for children:
The summer smog season … is a powerful reminder of how important it is to have clean air to breathe. Smog-causing air pollution from dirty power plants, automobiles, and other sources is linked to serious health problems like asthma, strokes, heart attacks—and even early deaths. Millions of our kids ride a bus to school, play on a playground or live in a community that exposes them to high levels of ozone, particle pollution or air toxics.
Dona J. Upson, M.D., a pulmonologist and critical care physician with the American Lung Association, testified that air pollution is especially dangerous to children because their lungs are growing and because they are so active:
I'm here to tell you that children may look like miniature adults, but they're not. For many reasons, they deserve special protection, including the cleanup of major pollution sources in the nation—most particularly, power plants. Power plants add hundreds of thousands of tons of dangerous air pollution to the air, threatening the most vulnerable among us, our children. … just like the arms and legs, the largest portion of a child's lungs will grow long after he or she is born.
A 2008 USA Today investigation used an EPA model to identify and map hundreds of schools where the air appeared to be rife with industrial pollution and toxic chemicals. The EPA has taken notice and strong action on this issue, and it is in the process of assessing the dangers from air pollution around schools. Their findings, Administrator Lisa Jackson argues, underscore the need for more extensive air monitoring especially in pollution hot spots.
A recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report on respiratory hospitalizations in areas near power plants finds:
Pollutants associated with power plant emissions have been linked to a variety of respiratory problems including irritation of the airways, difficulty breathing and decreased lung function. In general, the effect of pollutants is more severe among persons with preexisting respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); persons with cardiovascular disease; and among older adults and children.
Nationwide, particulate pollution from power plants has been recently estimated to kill approximately 13,000 people a year. Because of both their age and exposure levels, children are especially at risk.
EPA's proposed air toxics standards can help
Fortunately, the EPA has a plan of action for all Americans to protect the health of our nation's youth—particularly critical during the summer months.
The agency is proposing its first-ever air toxics standards for coal-fired power plants. The proposed rule would limit emissions of mercury, arsenic, and several other hazardous air toxics from power plants for the first time. These common-sense safeguards, which were called for in the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments but never implemented, are long overdue. Toxic mercury, arsenic, and 84 other pollutants have been spewing uncontrolled from power plants even though we know how bad they are.
Adoption of the air toxics rule will prevent approximately 17,000 premature deaths, 120,000 asthma attacks, and 12,000 hospitalizations and emergency room visits every year, according to the EPA. It is essential in limiting some of the key pollutants that aggravate asthma in children and adults.
The Center for American Progress Action Fund, CAP's sister organization, has launched a campaign to urge the EPA to get mercury and arsenic out of our air by finalizing their proposed safeguards. The EPA is accepting public comments on the rule until July 5, 2011, and you can submit one here. Comments can also be submitted in Spanish here.
Though conservative leaders, Big Oil, and their congressional allies are gearing up their attacks on the EPA—threatening to restrict its rulemaking authorities, or even to abolish it —they cannot deny the evidence of its immense health successes. Despite progress in recent decades, though, our air still needs cleaning up.
The EPA needs to be allowed to do its job to clean up our air and protect our public health, and the proposed rules currently underway are a critical step in this fight.
Take action for clean air now!

BP, Anadarko Lead Energy Rebound as Cap Stops Spill
BP Plc and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. are leading a rebound in global energy stocks after engineers stopped the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
BP, owner of the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico that exploded on April 20, has gained 36 percent this quarter and partner Anadarko has surged 56 percent. They are the biggest gainers among oil companies in the Morgan Stanley World Index, making energy the second-best performing industry in the period.
Cement was pumped into the top of the well last week after a 40-foot (12-meter) stack of valves halted the flow in mid-July and about 75 percent of the 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled has evaporated, dispersed or been recovered, according to government estimates. At the height of the crisis in June, scientists predicted a worst-case scenario where Macondo could gush until the end of year, sending costs toward $100 billion and jeopardizing the future of offshore drilling.
"It wasn't as catastrophic as it might have been, and that bodes well for all the negative sentiment in this hazardous industry," said Jason Kenney, an analyst at ING Wholesale Banking in Edinburgh, who rates BP a buy. "The worst-case scenario for BP was really overdone. The risk is to the upside from here, quite significantly."
BP fell to 296 pence on June 25, a 55 percent plunge from its pre-spill price, on concern liabilities from the accident risked bankrupting the company. It has since recovered 46 percent, to close 432.75 pence at the close of trading at 4:30 p.m. in London. Of 41 analysts covering the company and tracked by Bloomberg, 28 rate the stock a buy, 11 a hold and two a sell.
Same Pattern
Anadarko, which holds a 25 percent stake in the well, followed the same pattern. Shares in the Woodlands, Texas-based company dropped 53 percent to a low of $34.54 on June 9. It closed last week at $55.68.
Mitsui & Co., the Japanese trading house that holds an indirect stake in the Macondo well, has advanced about 15 percent in Tokyo this quarter. The shares slumped 33 percent after the accident to a low of 1,018 yen on July 5, and closed little changed at 1,196 yen today.
"Now the well is capped and most of the oil is gone, it's clear that the end of the world didn't happen," said Christine Tiscareno, an analyst at Standard & Poor's in London. "This was scary for Anadarko because they're much smaller. If they hadn't been able to stop the oil flow, it could have put them into receivership."
Anxiety Eases
The end of the leak has added impetus to other oil and gas stocks as anxiety about harsher global regulation and soaring drilling costs has eased. Chevron Corp., the second-largest U.S. oil company has gained 16 percent this quarter. Royal Dutch Shell Plc is up 7.5 percent.
A rising oil price is also providing support to energy stocks. Benchmark crude futures in New York rose to more than $80 a barrel last week for the first time since May as investors bought commodities amid a rebound in the global economy.
"At least Macondo happened at a time when oil prices have stabilized at a high level and the asset market is good," said Peter Hutton, head of research at NCB Stockbrokers Ltd. in London.
BP's program of field sales may also be buoying the share price. The company's incoming chief executive officer, Robert Dudley, is committed to selling as much as $30 billion of assets to pay compensation to victims of the spill. Disposals agreed on so far show BP is getting a premium.
'Interesting Offers'
The $7 billion sale of fields in the U.S., Canada and Egypt to Apache Corp. got about $19 a barrel of proved reserves, according to Barclays Capital. The deal puts the total value of BP's assets at about $350 billion, the company said, compared with a market value of $130 billion today.
"Once BP opens up discussions about assets, they are able to tease out a lot of interesting offers," NCB's Hutton said. "They should easily hit their target."
Anadarko's eventual liability from the spill is unclear because it has said BP's actions at the well "likely represent gross negligence or willful misconduct." If proven, that may exempt the company from paying its share of fines and claims.
"It's become clear that the liquidity of both BP and Anadarko should be sufficient to handle the cost of the cleanup," said Scott Hanold, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets in Minneapolis, who rates the U.S. company "outperform."
Liability Disputes
There is still "a bit of overhang" with Anadarko because of the company's dispute with BP over liability, he said.
Mitsui's unit, MOEX Offshore 2007 LLC, hasn't paid $480 million in bills from BP for cleaning up the spill, and "will study and determine whether or not to pay," any more bills, Mitsui's Chief Financial Officer Junichi Matsumoto said Aug. 3.
Mitsui owns 70 percent of Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., which holds 10 percent of the field where the Macondo well is located through wholly owned U.S. subsidiary MOEX Offshore, according to the website of Mitsui Oil.
BP is drilling a relief well to ensure that the leak at Macondo is shut for good. That would cement the faulty well at the bottom, complementing the seal at the top. The operation is expected to be completed by the middle of the month.
The company took a $32.2 billion charge against the cost of cleaning up the leak and paying fines and compensation. That may yet rise if the company is found guilty of gross negligence, increasing the size of fine it must pay for pollution.

Local interior designers Sarah Pickard of Pickard Design Studio and Connie Jackson of Wilson Associates are not ones to shy away from a challenge. When Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity approached them about design makeovers for deserving area families, they jumped right in. The catch? They only had $3,000 to spend, and everything had to be purchased at Habitat's area ReStores, which sell new and gently used home-improvement products.
Pickard was paired with Mike and Jill Wideman of Garland and Jackson with Brad and Toni Thomason of Mesquite for Habitat's first-ever Design Duel. The homeowners were selected based on need as well as their do-it-yourself skills, since they had to do all of the labor.
For the Widemans, who live in a quaint 1923 bungalow in downtown Garland with their two small children, Pickard knew their biggest needs were storage as well as open space to move around. She utilized a "floating furniture" concept that mounts most pieces to the walls. "It provides more floor space rather than filling it with seating," she says. "It really makes the room seem bigger." Pickard also tapped into her creative juices for the project, repurposing many items to fit the Wideman's needs.
For the living room, Pickard mounted a repurposed hutch to the wall to create a media cabinet for $80 that houses a small bench below it for extra seating. She also repurposed an iron planter and topped it with granite to create a wall-mounted desk in the corner of the room. The granite was a huge steal — about $50 for three large pieces that also were used to top a side table and a microwave cart in the dining room.
To set the shabby-chic style and color scheme of the room, Pickard found a chair and ottoman set for $350 that came from a large shipment of the Aidan Gray furniture line.
Storage and space to move about also were key in the dining room, a main pass-through to other parts of the house and where the Widemans like to entertain. In addition to wall-mounted cabinets that came from a model home and cost about $80 to $100 each, Pickard created a custom dining table for about $35. Made from doors, the table is mounted to the wall so that it offers enough surface area for the whole family but still allows traffic to flow through the room. The beadboard top creates a country impression; another door with a circular window is used for support. Wideman says her son loves to play peekaboo during dinner time.
For the Thomasons in Mesquite, Jackson zeroed in on their biggest issue — flooring. Old wall-to-wall carpet had become worn over the years, thanks to two young children and two big dogs.
Jackson found a laminate flooring that looks like wood at the ReStores for $800, enough to cover the living room and dining room and still have enough left over if the homeowners also want to redo the hallway in the same pattern.
Jackson says the Thomasons' home had "good bones," so it just needed to be freshened up with paint and accessories.
"We took what she had and just found a different way of doing it," says Jackson. They wanted to make the dining room seem more formal, so they moved the table into the center of the room and installed a pendant light overheard. Jackson also found an oversized picture frame for the living room for $60, an area rug for $120 and a brand new coffee table and end table set for $220.
Jackson of Wilson Associates won the voters' choice, and Pickard Design Studio won the judges' choice. "But it's really the homeowners who won," says Jackson. "It was really for them."

Extending hotplug on Debian, SLES 9, and RHAS 4
Debian hotplug is designed for little more than loading drivers and configuring devices. The collection of scripts discussed in this article helps Linux to respond when a network cable is plugged in or when a cellphone is in the vicinity. Read on for more on how to define custom hotplug events.
On Debian Sage, Suse Enterprise Linux 9, Red Hat Advanced Server 4, and older systems, the hotplug daemon is the central contact point for all device events. However, the daemon does little more than load drivers for new devices – even the simple task of responding when a network cable is plugged or unplugged is too much for the implementation used by these distributions. It is hard to understand why the built-in hotplug configuration is so limited; after all, kernel hotplugging is easily capable of performing a fully automated backup on a USB stick plugged in by a user, or updating the MP3 collection on a cellphone in the vicinity, using a few simple scripts. This article describes some tricks and scripts you can use to extend the hotplug system.

Jury Nullification in Modified Comparative Negligence Regimes

Stanford Public Law Working Paper No. 1874466

This paper analyzes jury findings from nearly one thousand negligence suits to determine whether juries in modified comparative negligence jurisdictions apportion percentages of negligence differently than juries in pure comparative negligence jurisdictions. We find that juries in modified comparative negligence jurisdictions are substantially less likely to find that a plaintiff was more than 50% negligent. This evidence of jury manipulation strengthens the case for pure comparative negligence, which we argue is already superior on theoretical and policy grounds.
