It may not fit atop many engagement rings, but a 158.2-carat diamond unearthed in Russia this week will still melt hearts and wallets after it was valued at more than $1.5 million.
The diamond was discovered in an ore mine in Nyurbinsk -- in Russia's northeast region -- which is managed by Alrosa, one of the country's largest diamond mining corporations, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported.
The company produces 97 percent of all diamonds in Russia.
"In the estimate of Alrosa's specialists, this diamond may be sold for over $1.5 million at auction. This diamond, if it is processed, may also produce several quality diamonds, each of them worth over several hundred thousand U.S. dollars," an Alrosa spokesperson said in a statement.
While the Russian diamond is turning heads around the world, it's not the largest rough diamond ever discovered.
According to Forbes.com, the world's largest rough diamond -- the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond -- was uncovered in 1905 by Frederick Wells at the Premier Mine in Pretoria, South Africa.
The largest cut diamond is the Golden Jubilee at 545.67 carats, which was discovered in 1987.

Mingo looking at electric aggregation program
MINGO JUNCTION – Village voters are being asked in the May 7 primary election to decide whether the village should form an electric aggregation program that could save residents about $170 annually on their electric bills.
John Ney, an energy consultant with World Energy, said the electric aggregation program brings citizens and small businesses together to buy electricity as a group and negotiate the terms, conditions and price of the electric supply on the group's behalf.
This type of group buying power has shown to be an effective way to obtain a lower electricity rate for all the group members, Ney said.
"We are excited about the opportunity to extend residents and small businesses a savings on their electric bills," said Mayor Ronald DiCarlo. "In today's environment, it's critical that we take advantage of programs that help our community."
Ohio law allows for communities-such as townships, cities and counties to form aggregated buying groups to purchase electric generation on behalf of their citizens. By voting in favor of electric aggregation, community members will allow locally elected officials to purchase electric generation at a discounted rate for the community, Ney said.
Most governmental aggregation programs are structured so that all eligible residents and small business customers in the community are automatically enrolled, Ney said. Residents do not need to do anything to join the program. However, anyone who does not want to participate in the program can easily opt out by returning a form mailed to all eligible members.
Ney, who will negotiate the electric rates, said there are more than 200 electric aggregation programs in Ohio. Stratton and Toronto have such programs. Toronto formed an electric aggregation program just with FirstEnergy to negotiate a discounted rate.
Ney said he will negotiate with any electric supplier in Ohio.
He said residents are currently paying 7.4 cents per kilowatt hour through AEP. He said current negotiated rates around Ohio are at about 5.99 cents per kilowatt hour. The average house uses about 10,000 to 12,000 kilowatts per year. The 5.99 cents per kilowatt hour would save the average household about $170 a year.
He said contracts with electric suppliers could be established for one, two or three years. If a three-year contract is negotiated, the average household in Mingo Junction could save more than $500 over the length of the contract, based on the 5.99 cents per kilowatt hour, he said.
Ney added AEP rates have been increasing 10 percent to 15 percent a year.
AEP will continue to be responsible for the delivery of power to homes and businesses and will continue to read meters, maintain poles and wires and restore power after an outage, Ney said. The negotiated electric price will be on the AEP bill, meaning customers will continue to receive only one electric bill.
Ney said electric rates two to three years ago were trending down, but he expects electric costs to increase in the next several years.
"This is a great time for Mingo residents to approve energy rates while they are still low," Ney said.
The electric rate will be locked in for the length of the contract with the electric supplier, he noted.
Two public hearings will be held if the Mingo Junction electric aggregation program is approved by voters. Village Council will have the final say on any contract with an electric supplier.
Ney said residents could opt out of the electric aggregation program and continue paying AEP or other electric provider. Residents who opt out aren't allowed to enter the program until a contract for electric service expires and a new contract is negotiated.
If the electric aggregation program is approved, residents could expect to see the lower rates in about three months, Ney said.
He added voters normally approve the formation of the electric aggregation program because of the cost savings to residents.
Ney said if rates decrease, the program could terminate the contract with the electric supplier at a cost of $25 to $50 per house, but Ney said residents will recoup the money in a brief amount of time with the savings on a contact for a lower rate.

Rising Stars in Investment Banking: Where are they now?
Ahead of the publication of Financial News's editorial pick of the bright young things in the investment banking industry this Monday, we take a look back at some of those who made the list last year.
Over the past three months, Financial News canvassed the market for opinion and drew up a longlist of more than 130 potential Rising Stars. All nominees had to be under 40 on December 3, based in Europe, the Middle East or Africa, and working in the investment banking industry.
Candidates were then assessed by FN's editorial panel on four criteria: achievements to date given their age, stature of their mentors, firepower at their disposal and their potential to reach a position of great influence.
Ahead of the publication of the list on Monday, Financial News here takes a look back at how the past 12 months has treated four of those to appear on the list in 2011.
• Colin Fan Then: Head of global credit and head of emerging markets debt trading, Deutsche Bank Now: Co-head of corporate banking and securities, Deutsche Bank Age: 39
Fan, a Canadian-born Chinese, was tasked in March along with Rob Rankin with filling the formidable shoes of Anshu Jain at Deutsche's corporate and investment bank. Under the current structure, Fan oversees sales and trading with Rankin shouldering responsibility for corporate finance and origination.
• Anthony Gutman Then: Managing director, co-head of UK investment banking, Goldman Sachs Now: Partner, co-head of UK investment banking, Goldman Sachs Age: 38
Promoted to the role of co-head of UK investment banking with Mark Sorrell in 2011, Gutman was earlier this month promoted to the Goldman Sachs partnership pool, two years. In recent months, he has advised BP on the sale of its stake in TNK-BP, and Experian on its $1.5bn deal to acquire the remaining stake in Brazilian information company Serasa.
• Shyam Parekh Then: Head of European and co-head of global financial institutions group capital markets, Morgan Stanley Now: Peak6 Advisors Age: 39
Parekh was in October last year named co-head of Morgan Stanley's newly created global FIG capital markets unit. However, in May this year, it was reported that he'd be leaving Morgan Stanley to join Peak6 Advisors, a US investment fund.
• Asheefa Sarangi Then: Co-head of UK and Irish banks equity research, Royal Bank of Scotland Now: Senior equity research analyst, banks at CLSA in Singapore Age: 33
Sarangi started her career at Canadian bank CIBC before moving to ING as a UK banks analyst and later Societe Generale. She joined RBS in December 2009, but left earlier this year following the bank's decision to close its equities division. She joined CLSA in Singapore in July.

Best food I ever got on the E. side of Wisconsin was the brats with red onion sauce at Milwaukee County Stadium. Door County smoked trout. Pancakes at the (Sportsmens'?) cafe in Packwaukee. But the best curds are from Ellsworth Co-Op, squeaky fresh.
A few times a summer, I will stop at Baker Cheese, and purchase some fresh string cheese. When it is fresh and room temperature, it is the best.

The catalyst/starkid/VI is never foreshadowed throughout the whole series,(until you buy the leviathan DLC that wasn't even planned before release), theres alot of things about the games that dont make sense in the context of events that happen, the whole storyline of 2, why would they go through the motions of making a human reaper when their whole reaper army can be in the galaxy 6 months later.
Why were they fixated in shepard for the whole of 2 and then not interested at all in 3?
Why did sovereign go through the whole ordeal revealing the reapers existence in the first one by bringing the reapers to the galaxy via the citadel, when the reapers can just come to the galaxy 2 and a half years later anyway?
Its clear that theres just so much uneven planning in the whole series, they dont even seem to have a consistent storyline they followed through the whole 3, thats how they ended up with an ending that just didnt "fit".

SEOUL -- Isolated North Korea claimed Tuesday that the U.S. mainland is "within the scope" of its missiles, two days after South Korea struck a deal with the United States to extend the range of its ballistic missiles.
North and South Korea have been technically at war since their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, and regional powers have for years been trying to rein in the North's nuclear weapons program.
North Korea is believed to be developing a long-range missile with a range of 4,160 miles or more aimed at hitting the United States, but two recent rocket tests both failed.
Its neighbors fear the North is using rocket launches to perfect technology to build a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the United States.
'U.S. imperialist aggression'
North Korea's National Defense Commission said in a statement that the North was prepared to counter any U.S. military threats, its KCNA news agency said.
"We do not hide (the fact) that the revolutionary armed forces ... including the strategic rocket forces are keeping within the scope of strike not only the bases of the puppet forces and the U.S. imperialist aggression forces' bases in the inviolable land of Korea, but also Japan, Guam and the U.S. mainland," KCNA said.
Official: North Korean soldier kills two officers, defects to South
Pyongyang refuses to let failed rocket launch dampen tone of festivities.
An expert in the South expressed skepticism over the claims.
"There is no evidence that North Korea has succeeded in tests of a missile with a range long enough to hit the U.S. mainland," Yun Duk-Min, a professor at Korea National Diplomatic Academy, said, according to the AFP news agency.
US-Japan agree on new defense system to counter North Korea ballistic missiles
South Korea on Sunday unveiled an agreement with the United States that extends the range of its ballistic missiles by more than twice its current limit to about 500 miles as a deterrent against the North.
North Korea is under heavy U.N. sanctions that have cut off its previously lucrative arms trade and further isolated the state after its failed 2009 missile test drew sharp rebukes, even from its one major ally, China.
Glimpses of North Korean life exposed by AP photographer
The United States has denied it has any intention to strike North Korea. It has more than 20,000 troops stationed in the South in defense of its ally against the North.
In April, under its new leader Kim Jong-un, North Korea again launched a rocket that flew just a few minutes covering a little over 60 miles before blowing up over the sea between South Korea and China.

Admit it, you've tugged at the band around your bra, you've readjusted the cups and you've slyly tried to slide a slipping bra strap back onto your shoulder.
Don't be embarrassed, ladies, you're not alone. According to Bare Necessities, about 80 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra.
Even if you once had the perfect-fitting bra, chances are it needs to be updated. According to MyIntimacy.com, the average woman's breasts change shape, size and distribution more than six times in her lifetime due to factors such as weight loss, weight gain, amount of exercise, childbirth and medications.
If you think it's time you got a bra that fits right, and to give yourself a comfy fit and a more flattering look, follow these tips to find the right-sized bra for you.
First up, size does really matter ...
No. 5: Size yourself up
When it comes to finding a bra, you can't just eye up the undergarment to see if it's the right size. Finding the right bra requires measuring to determine your bust and band size.
To determine your band size, slip the measuring tape under your arms, across the high section of your back and over the top of your chest, above your bust. According to Bare Necessities, if your measurement is an odd number, add 1 inch. Otherwise, this measurement is your band size.
To determine your cup size, Bare Necessities recommends measuring loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Then subtract your bust size from your band size, and use that number to determine what your cup size is by looking at a size conversation chart. For example, a difference of 2 inches would be a B cup.
Once you find the right size, it's time to look for the type of bra that fits you best ...
No. 4: Avoid spillage
When trying on a bra, make sure your breasts are properly contained inside of the undergarment.
Bare Necessities recommends that you look at the front of the bra to ensure there isn't any breast tissue spilling out the front or the sides of the bra, and no skin sneaking out the bottom of the cups. If your tissue is creeping out, then the cup size is likely too small.
In contrast, Susan Nethero of Intimacy stores told Oprah.com that if there are dimples in the bra material then the cup size is probably too large and you should consider trying a smaller size.
She should know too: Nethero trained under the Queen of England's royal bra fitter and has earned the nickname "bra whisperer."
Once you find the right-fitting cup, you are only halfway there to finding the right bra. Next up -- finding a bra with the right-sized band ...
No. 3: Banish back fat
Instead of tugging at your bra or wearing loose-fitting shirts to cover up the dreaded back fat that's hanging out along the edges of your bra, there is an easier solution -- buy a bra with a smaller band size.
According to Nethero, most women think that back-fat sightings mean that the band of their bra is too small. However, it actually means that the band is too big.
Nethero told Oprah.com that getting a smaller band size and wearing the bra lower on your back should eliminate back fat. She added that your bra band should be level front to back.
One fitting suggestion Nethero recommends is when trying on a bra, make sure it fits you correctly on the loosest hook. Then, as the bra becomes older and stretches out, you can tighten it to the second and third hooks to keep a snug fit.
Once you find the right-fitting bra, buy a couple of them so you don't have to worry about wearing them out ...

Final Summary Report
|PDF (503 KB) | MS Word (1 MB)
Introduction to the Report
The State ESEA1 Title I Participation Summary Report for 2001-02 summarizes data for the Title I, Part A, Grants to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) program. The Title I Grants to LEAs program provides federal financial assistance to eligible school districts and schools to assist them in providing opportunities for children most at risk to help them acquire knowledge and skills to meet challenging state content and performance standards. The Part A program can serve children as young as preschool age and as old as the high school level and provides supplemental services to many special populations including children with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency (LEP), and migrant children. This program also provides services outside of the traditional public school setting to eligible children in nonpublic schools and local institutions for neglected or delinquent students, as well as other support services such as family literacy services.
This report provides Title I participation data for 2001-02, prior to the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), and reflects implementation under the prior law, the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (IASA). The report also presents comparisons to 2000-01 and previous years. Topics include: districts, schools and students served, the range of instructional and support services provided, Title I staffing patterns, and schools' progress toward meeting performance standards, as reported by states on Consolidated State Performance Reports (CSPR). The tables shown in this report reflect data submitted by the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Puerto Rico. State-by-state tables follow the text that amplify the participation data and offer readers a more detailed look at several aspects of the Title I program.
The quality and timeliness of the state-submitted data continue to be an issue. For 2001-02, state reports were due to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in fall 2003, but not all states met this deadline with some states submitting their reports as late as spring 2004. In addition, the state reports, once submitted, were often incomplete or included apparent errors and inconsistencies that required repeated follow-up calls to states. The problem of incomplete data is greatest when there are changes to the data collection instrument from one year to the next. There are, however, some instances where states are unable to provide some of the required information even though there have been no changes to the data collection instrument from the previous year. ED continues to work with states to improve both the quality and timeliness of their submissions. Further, ED's Performance-Based Data Management Initiative (PBDMI) also is intended to improve data quality and reporting in future years.
The reporting requirements for Title I have changed under the NCLB legislation that reauthorized ESEA. However, as noted above, this report is based on the 2001-02 school year and previous (IASA) reporting requirements.
As part of the verification process, states could and did revise information submitted for 2001-02 as well as information submitted for earlier years. As a result of these revisions, some of the information shown in this report for years prior to 2001-02 differs from previously published figures.
The 2001-02 achievement results will be reported separately in State Education Indicators with a Focus on Title I 2001-02. Refer to the Department's Web site at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ods/ppss/reports.html#title.
1. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act, Pub. L. No. 103-382, 108 Stat. 3518, et. seq. (1994). This act was further amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, Pub. L. No. 107-110, 20 U.S.C. § 6301 (2002) (enacted Jan. 8, 2002).

- Dynamic right-sizing for power-proportional data centers
- Author(s)
- Lin, Minghong; Wierman, Adam; Andrew, Lachlan L. H.; Thereska, Eno
- Abstract
- Power consumption imposes a significant cost for data centers implementing cloud services, yet much of that power is used to maintain excess service capacity during periods of low load. This paper investigates how much can be saved by dynamically 'right-sizing' the data center by turning off servers during such periods, and how to achieve that saving via an online algorithm. We propose a very general model and prove that the optimal offline algorithm for dynamic right-sizing has a simple structure when viewed in reverse time, and this structure is exploited to develop a new 'lazy' online algorithm, which is proven to be 3-competitive. We validate the algorithm using traces from two real data center workloads and show that significant cost-savings are possible. Additionally, we contrast this new algorithm with the more traditional approach of receding horizon control.

This cake is so fabulous that it was all eaten while still slightly warm. I would say that it didn't serve 15 people as indicated. Six of us demolished it within an hour for our lunch :) I will absolutely be making this again - but next time I will make THREE at least and freeze some. Completely wonderful, delicious recipe - thank you SO much! x
I cooked my cake for 20 mins and it was already done by then so unless your tin is really small I would definitely keep checking it. Also I could see the condensed mixture wasn't thick enough after the 5 mins cooling time so i boiled it up again and left it for a minute or so, after which it thickened and changed to a golden colour and set fine, so I think the recipe should say to boil it for a minute or two not just bring to boil and switch off. Tasted good though!
This has to be the easiest cake recipe ever. I have made this cake twice now which has gone down a storm in this household. Although I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I tried a piece the first time round and, whilst I thought the cake itself was absolutely delicious, I didn't think much to the topping which I felt was a bit on the bland side, yet sickly sweet.
The second time round, I made the cake in the same way (although adding milk chocolate chunks as opposed to drops) but when it came to the topping I added a 100g bar of plain chocolate - just Tesco's own which was only 30p - rather than 50g of milk chocolate. However, I did still sprinkle with milk chocolate drops. The transformation was amazing - the plain chocolate seems to counteract the sickly sweetness leaving a lovely chocolatey fudge topping that complements the cake perfectly in my opinion. A definite winner with that little tweak.
The batter didn't look right after mixing with a wooden spoon so used a hand whisk which did the job fine
As others have said, the icing was very runny. When it still hadn't set sufficiently after 15 minutes, I popped it in the fridge which helped
I had to cut off the edges of the whole cake as they were burnt - the rest tasted lovely and chocolatey. Will reduce the cooking time in future.
I used a light spread rather than butter to try and make it a little bit healthier!
The burnt icing comments terrified me as that is exactly what would happen to me distracted by the kids so I used the microwave for the icing. I did 30 second increments to check on the icing and to stir occasionally - I knew it had come to a boil when the mixture started rising in the bowl:-) And it looks quite liquid but it sets as it cools - delicious and different - try it:-)
I've just made this recipe for a coffee morning tomorrow. I'm a bit disappointed with the cake itself as it is quite flat: I used a Swizz roll tin of exactly the right dimensions and it hasn't risen above the tin. I've found the icing easy to make though. I hope it tastes good but I may now have to make an indulgent looking chocolate cake as well as this one doesn't seem to fit the bill.

DE Shaw hires ex-UBS credit specialist
US-based hedge fund DE Shaw has hired the former head of UBS's European non-core book, in a further sign that hedge funds are looking to purchase unwanted bank assets.
Stephan Michel, who left his role as Europe, Middle East and Africa head of non-core and legacy at UBS in November, joined DE Shaw in London in mid-March. He will be assisting on credit investment opportunities, according to a person familiar with the hire.
DE Shaw, a $32 billion multi-strategy manager, uses sophisticated trading models to buy and sell assets. In 2012, it launched the Alkali Fund, managed by the fund's asset-backed securities team, focusing in part on unwanted loans and mortgages held by European banks.
US firms have assumed an ever-larger presence in European credit markets, as regional banks look to shed unwanted assets in the wake of the financial crisis. Financial News reported earlier this month that bond giant Pimco had raised $5.5 billion to buy bank assets in the US and Europe. Last week, Richard Thompson, partner, PwC, said: "Private equity and hedge funds were the most active buyers in 2013" in non-core loans.
Centerbridge Partners, Oaktree Capital Management and Apollo Global Management, are among firms purchasing unwanted debt from European banks, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A former chief risk officer at structured credit asset manager Cairn Capital, Michel joined UBS in 2008 as a managing director. UBS launched its Accelerate programme in October 2012, which included the rundown of around $105 billion in non-core investment banking assets.
Michel moved to Cairn in 2005, and was previously co-head of European credit research at Barclays Capital.
DE Shaw, one of the largest hedge funds in the world, is also looking for a senior financial sector analyst to join the London team, according to the firm's website.
The hedge fund currently employs just over 20 front office staff in London, according to data from the UK Financial Services Register.
The firm cut its fees in 2011, but still charges a 2.5% management fee and a 25% performance fee, down from 3% and 30%, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Caraballo found guilty on multiple countsOctober 02,2013
Staff Report
Frank Caraballo was found guilty of murder today by a federal jury that spent two weeks hearing his case in Rutland. At just before 3 p.m. Wednesday, after close to 8 hours of deliberation, jurors returned guilty verdicts on all but one of the counts against Caraballo, 31, of Holyoke, Mass.
Jurors found Caraballo guilty of killing 31-year-old Melissa Barratt of Brattleboro, whose body was found in the woods of Dummerston on July 29, 2011. While jurors found Caraballo guilty of causing Barratt's death, they returned a not guilty verdict of actually pulling the trigger of the gun used to execute Barratt.
That partial acquittal will have little effect on the potential sentence that Caraballo faces. Of more significance was the jury's finding that while Caraballo was guilty of distributing cocaine, heroin and crack cocaine from March to July of 2011, they decided there was not evidence to support the government's charge that Caraballo had distributed in excess of 280 grams of crack cocaine. That determination changes the sentencing potential in the case from a mandatory life sentence to a potential life sentence on that charge alone.
Caraballo also faces potential life sentences on the other three charges that he was convicted of Wednesday.
He was, in total, found guilty of: Conspiracy to distribute heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine; of being a felon in possession of a firearm; of using a firearm in furtherance of drug distribution; and of murdering Barratt.
No sentencing date was set in the case today. However, judge Cristina Reiss gave the defense 20 days to file post-trial motions.

US hiring surges as unemployment dips to 6.1 pct.ap photo
People wait in line for the Cleveland Career Fair in Independence, Ohio, Thursday. Recent federal numbers showed U.S. employers added 288,000 jobs in June, helping to decrease the unemployment rate.
WASHINGTON U.S. employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding a robust 288,000 jobs and helping drive the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008.
It was the fifth straight monthly job gain above 200,000 the best such stretch since the late 1990s tech boom. Over the past 12 months, the economy has added nearly 2.5 million jobs an average of 208,000 a month, the fastest year-over-year pace since mid-2006.
Thursdays jobs report from the Labor Department made clear that the U.S. economy is moving steadily closer to full health after having shrunk at the start of the year. Growth is picking up even as many major economies in Europe and Asia continue to struggle. On Thursday, the European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged despite signs that the 18-country eurozone economy is losing momentum.
Junes healthy U.S. job growth followed additions of 217,000 jobs in May and 304,000 in April, figures that were both revised upward. Monthly job gains so far this year have averaged 230,833, up from 194,250 in 2013.
Investors appeared pleased by the news. When stock markets opened Thursday, an hour after the government released the jobs report, the Dow Jones industrial average traded above 17,000 for the first time. By late morning, the Dow had risen about 65 points.
The unemployment rate dipped in June from 6.3 percent in May to its lowest level since the financial crisis struck at full force in the fall of 2008 with the bankruptcy of the Wall Street firm Lehman Brothers.
Since February, this has now become a textbook jobs expansion, said Patrick OKeefe, director of economic research at the consultancy CohnReznick. It is both broad and accelerating.
Economists say the steady U.S. job gains should help fuel more purchases of goods from Asia and Europe and strengthen their economies at least slightly. Much of Europe is suffering from high unemployment. And China is trying to moderate its economys growth without slowing it too much.
If we have some momentum going into the second half of the year, it helps the world economy because were big consumers, said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services.
The U.S. job gains in June were widespread. Factories added 16,000 workers, retailers 40,200. Financial and insurance firms increased their payrolls by 17,000. Restaurants and bars employed 32,800 more people. Only construction, which gained a scant 6,000, appeared to reflect the slow recovery of previous years.
Job growth has averaged 272,000 over the past three months. In May, the economy surpassed its jobs total in December 2007, when the Great Recession officially began.
Still, researchers at the liberal Economic Policy Institute estimate that 6.7 million more jobs would have been needed to keep up with population growth.
The challenge is whether the job gains will pull more Americans back into the workforce and lift wages that have barely budged. Many people who lost jobs during the recession and were never rehired have stopped looking for work. Just 62.8 percent of adult Americans are working or are looking for a job, compared with 66 percent before the recession.
The number of long-term unemployed has dropped 1.2 million over the past year to just under 3.1 million. Thats half what it was three years ago. But the government data suggest that many long-term unemployed have given up their job searches a trend that could create a drag on future U.S. growth.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Loc: this too shall pass
at this juncture it should come as no surprise that to lant means to mingle ale with stale urine to make it (the ale, wofa, the ale) strong. I can't link to OED for you, so here's the next best thing:
by dint of a tie-break (three out of four votes were from players), Wordwind wins yet another round with her 'sluicegate' def'n. juan also collected four votes (two were from lurkers) for his somewhat related 'adding a pinch'. HM to consuelo for 'walking bent' , RC for 'dancing and frolicking' and ron o. for 'nitpicking' (two votes each).
the results were bunched up enough so I should be able to use all of the above as alternate answers for an appearance of the wwftd quiz, which I'll probably run next week. thanks to all.

Uh, Tsuwm, Hogmaster, sir...since I (unbelievably to me) also selected the correct definition as a player (the urine thing...really?...I just picked it because I had to give a point to whoever came up with it), doesn't that extra pointage put me over the top for the win? Just asking...
And thanks to all you chemistry buffs out there...especially Jackie!

Hadn't the hogmaster® proposed to run this round as a competition to glean definitions for a WWFTD quiz, which would seem to render other factors somewhat beside the point? Just sayin'...._________________________

It IS a surprise, tsuwm! My interest is certainly piqued! Went back and re-read the thread on definitions, and it strikes me in hindsight that many knew! Faldage talked about tasting A, WO'N about cellars and WW about lanter lauders...(aside)who is a lauder? A guzzler?
And WO'N, you have actually SEEN urine cellars! Now, here's a noisome experience, for sure!
How do they collect it, how do they store, who donates, are the donors paid, is there a screening system for the donors!!??? Forgive my barrage of questions but I am so completely tickled by this bit of news.
And is 'lant' both a noun and a verb?

maahey, I had no clue...I was just so amused with that definition I figured whoever wrote it deserved a vote for effort...really. I was just jokin' about the cellars an' all.
And, from tsuwm's link:
Urine "a barber's hair wash?" (lotium) Back in the days when nobody bathed? wunnerful...'cause musk, it ain't
And, okay, tsuwm...I'll take a win by proxy, then. Can't let my good friend Dub-Dub get away with a cheap victory there, can we?

>'lant' both a noun and a verb?
yes, lant is an old Saxon noun (ca. 1000) which got verbed around 1630. and my experience of ales makes this whole thing suspicions confirmed. in fact, some of the ones I've tasted must have been *double-lanted*. <g>
check out this 1630 citation:
1630 Tinker of Turvey Ded. Ep. 5, I have drunke double~lanted Ale, and single-lanted, but never gulped downe such Hypocrenian liquor in all my life.
p.s. - I think it was maverick who threw 'hippocrene' (the Hypo- is listed as "erron.") at us once upon a time. too bad he's not around to explain this allusive use to us.
p.p.s. - as somebody or else might say, proxy schmoxy..

Faldage talked about tasting A
I was simply recalling a metaphor from the long MIA xara who used to talk about the way phrases "tasted". Personally I thought the correct answer was one of the most unlikely, but then I thought pretty much the same about J and it garnered as many votes as the winner, so who am I to say?

I think we should devise a rule next time that gives rav a point just for participating, given that this is a foreign language for him/her.

What a weird one. Hunter Pence hits a game-winning solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning, his second home run of the game in the Phillies 4-3 win. It's the Phillies first three-game winning streak of the season.
-Man, this is getting old. Chad Qualls gave up two runs in the ninth inning, his fourth blown save of this season already. Absolutely brutal.
-Hunter Pence added to the madness by mishandling a single to right field that allowed the tying run to score in the ninth.
-Jake Diekman made his major league debut to clean up the mess Qualls left and held the tie with a strikeout in the ninth. He then retired the Astros in order in the 10th with two more strikeouts giving him the victory. Give the kid the eighth inning.
-Cliff Lee finally almost won his first game this season. He hadn't hasn't won a regular season game since September 26, 2011 against Atlanta. His line on Tuesday: eight innings, five hits, one run (earned), one walk, 10 strikeouts. He's back.
-Lee dazzled with his array of pitches. He struck Astros hitters out with three changeups, three two-seam fastballs, three curveballs, and a cutter.
-He made a mistake to Matt Downs in the seventh inning, which landed 10 rows up in the left field seats for a long solo home run. There weren't many other mistakes made.
-With 10 strikeouts, it was Lee's 19th career double-digit strikeout game, and the first this year.
-You read that right, Brian Schneider gave the Phillies the lead in the second inning with a 3-iron shot to right field off Houston starter Jordan Lyles. It was his first home run since April 21, 2011 against San Diego and a total of 145 at-bats. Looong time coming. It's nice to get a shot of offense from your backup.
–Hunter Pence hit his eighth home run of the season in the sixth inning, the first of his two bombs. The at-bat began poorly, but Pence held out and nailed a 2-2 pitch the opposite way. Pence plays at such a high level, I think it would be beneficial for him to slow the game down a bit and settle in the box a bit before hacking.
-Pence made a baserunning blunder in the eighth inning. With runners at first and third with no outs, John Mayberry scorched a ball to third, just in front of where Pence was standing. Pence inexplicably started for home, only to get caught in a rundown.
-Pence gets a pass though, since he did bail out the bullpen with a homer in the 10th.
–Jimmy Rollins went 2-for-4, so let's hope this is the start of a turnaround for him. He got a gift-double in the first inning when first baseman Carlos Lee collided with the umpire. The ball trickled down the line, and Rollins scampered to second.
-Charlie Manuel was ejected by home plate umpire Bob Davidson for arguing a strike three call that got away from Brian Schneider. It appeared from the replay that Davidson called a foul tip. I was unable to see more than one replay – correct me if I'm wrong.
-Juan Samuel didn't have a good series as the third base coach. On Monday, he had Mayberry gunned out at the plate on a hard-hit ball to left field. On Tuesday afternoon, Brian Schneider smoked a ball to right fielder Matt Downs, who threw out Mayberry by a solid 8-10 feet. I get that Samuel is trying to be aggressive with the pitcher due up next, but both pitches were hit too hard to warrant the "go" sign. Plus, Cliff Lee can handle the stick a bit. So having him bat with the bases loaded was probably not the worst scenario ever.
-Astros starter Jordan Lyles fared pretty well arriving from Triple-A Oklahoma City. He allowed three runs in six innings while striking out four.
-Down in Lehigh Valley, Domonic Brown missed his 8th consecutive game with a bad hamstring.
-Paid attendance: 43,781. It was about 70 percent full by my estimation, but, it's how many tickets they sell, not how many people sit in those seats.
-Tomorrow, the Phillies head to Chicago for their second two-game series of the week. Vance Worley takes on Matt Garza at 8:05.

Is there a reason WHY Charlie keeps putting Chad Qualls out there to blow games? I wish i had that type of job security.
That wasn't really a baserunning error by Pence when he was on 3rd with zero outs. Wheeler made the right call (for once) stating he made the right decision and prevented a double play from happening by freezing up. When a ball is hit as hard the one JMJ hit, you gotta run.
He obviously made up for it. How bad is it to have to watch Qualls blow that game. Imagine if Pap gets injured this season. Man will we really be screwed.
3 in a row. Let's keep rolling.
With two outs, Samuel has to send those runners. If, in his estimation, the chances of being safe are better than the chance that the run scores if he doesn't send him, then the green,light is warranted. Even with a decent hitter, the chances of driving in the runner are 30%, give or take. So, if there's even a 1 in 3 chance of being safe at home, the correct move is to send him. Especially with the pitcher due up.
Yep, agreed.
I think with the pitcher up next you have to try it and force the other team to make the play. These are major leaguers, but there are any of a number of things that can go wrong:
– the outfielder bobbles it
– the throw is off-line
– the throw takes a bad bounce
– the catcher bobbles it
I think when you have a not-particularly-good hitting pitcher up next, like Blanton last night, you defnitely go for it, no question. When it's a better-hitting pitcher like Lee, it's not as certain, and you might err a little more on the side of caution. But not much.
Yea on the Pence play at home …. that call "going on contact" comes from either the 3b coach, or the dugout ……. there was a bullet hit to 3b, and Pence was a dead duck ……..
similar to hit & run line drives that result in a double play
Funny thing about Wheeler, is I think he is BY FAR the best of the 3 TV announcers …. Sarge is tough to listen to … and TMAC is growing more annoying to me by the game .. today of Hunter Pence's 9th inning bobble Tmac started rambling about how pence "did a nice job to get to that ball" ……………..it was a ground ball to RF !??
TMac really annoys me to no end. He seems like a nice enough guy but is really not that good. And his laugh grates on my nerves. Sarge is just a boob…plain and simple. Wheels is Wheels….some really hate the guy because of his "feud" or whatever with Harry…but the man knows the game and knows this franchise better than most. I've learned a lot about some of the intricasies of the game just by listening to his analysis.
It's getting to the point where I am going to heckle the bullpen next time I'm at a game. Mainly Qualls and Kendrick. Whenever they come into the game, you know it's about to get bad. Tony No Dad seems to be doing better, but he still needs some more good innings to get past his shaky start of the season. Glad to see Diekman get the win. Let's hope his success in the minors carries over to the major league level. CONTINUED SUCCESS.
Technically, "Tony No Dad" doesn't make any sense for a name. A bastard has a father (I would presume he has to…if you know what I mean). It's just that the father isn't married to the mother. The child is born out of wedlock. So a better name might be something like "Tony My Daddy Isn't Married To My Momma"
I had to miss the game.
So if I have this right, Hunter giveth, and Hunter taketh away, then Hunter giveth again? This guy might be a higher power than any of us realized. 🙂
Three in a row, yes!
If they are smart they will walk Bryan LaHair 8 straight times the next two days, dude is -en fuego.
Anyone know a Phillies bar not too far from Baltimore? Fox has me blacked out Saturday. U. Delaware maybe?
Yeah, head north towards Wilmington. And how 'bout them O's ?? !! …
The O's will fade, hard. They will wind up in last place in the AL east, again.
Agree with Brooks, no way they can sustain this.
The problem is that they pitched Pap yesterday when they should have pitched Diekman. Would have gotten his feet wet and Pap would have been available today.
I understand how you might feel that way. But once Pap was fully warmed in the pen last night, it was too late. They had to pitch him, because he wouldn't have been available today anyway. No way to predict Polly hitting that two run HR.
Lefty, Brooks – Watching the O's/Yankees on MLB Network. Birds look good. I didn't realize that they have the 2nd most HRs in the majors. But I agree that I can't see them sustaining this success for the entire season. Nice to see this late in the season though.
Next thing you know Mark Reynolds will be hitting his weight – wow!
Well the good thing is Diekman got a shot today and made the most of it. Kendrick did the same when he came up in 2007 and Worley did the same when he came up last year. Sometimes the adversity helps because you have to give someone else a shot.
Qualls is just brutal. This cannot be tolerated – I was wondering what he might do since he had no inherited runners but that double took care of that…
Once again the 'snake bite' syndrome came into play – once Qualls started screwing up, Pence joined in the action by fumbling the ball hit to deep right. Why in the world the runner on third had stopped to begin with cannot be explained but when Pence fumbled the ball twice, he took off running. Thank goodness his goofiness hit the second HR – as it left his bat nobody expected it was going over the fence, it barely made it but good, first extra inning win, first walk off win – lets see if the word momentum means anything now on the way to Chicago.
Call Wade Boggs and see if he still has his knuckler for the 8th inning!
Those of you who're asking for Qualls' head: I hope you guys actually watched what happened in the inning. Qualls was making some good pitches, it's not like he was missing and throwing garbage. If Hunter doesn't boot that play RF, Qualls could've more likely than not come out with the save. His pitches look good. The results will follow eventually.
Hunter Pence needs to learn how to field his position better, especially in key situations, he needs to know that he does not have to hurry that throw cause the guy was not running. What I did like was he seemed almost mad that there was a celebration after his second HR because he knew that it was his fault that they were playing the tenth inning and he cost Lee the win.
The offense seems to be swinging at better pitches and is more relaxed at the plate, not sure if it was because the pithchers they have been facing are not that good or they are not putting pressure on themselves as much. JMJ his hiting the ball hard and squaring the ball up better even his outs seems to be hard. Along with Poly having some good at bats. And jFreddy had a great homestand at the plate and he was an rbi machine for a guy hitting 230

Where will it end?March 20,2013
Where will it end?
The time is coming very fast uproar, protesting, and it wont be dancing in the streets.
We as American taxpaying citizens are just about fed up with how our states and the country are running.
Dont all politicians realize this?
From the littlest person in town government, all the way to the top (Obama).
We have been tapped out as the nations poor and middle class. There is nowhere to go now but down the flusher.
We can only do so damn much, before we are totally done in. Time is very, very close. Mark my words.
Be it known if I was a mouse in the corner in the Capitol building in Washington, I would be appalled to hear what was said about everything going on. And how they laugh at what they are doing to us! They fight and argue so much amongst themselves, and at the end of the day when they put on their slippers they laugh.
They all need to be made to come out of Washington and walk a mile in our shoes before they should be able to run for office.
I mean live with the poor and middle class for one month and get the real look at crap going on.
How can some of these old politicians not know what is happening? Because their butts are safe for as long as they live, making themselves safe in their pensions, health care and every other aspect of their lives and their families. They exempt themselves from all they tell us we have to pay for.
Yup, the American way.
If we expect to change things we all have to think about where we want to be in the next four years.
I for one will continue to call or write whoever I can from now on to tell them what I think, and in no uncertain terms.
Get the biggest cardboard boxes ready and line them good. We are headed.
Greed, corruption, thieving, and no caring, and just plain dont give a crap about us taxpayers is what is happening all to take care of the rich and protect their pockets when this country goes down.
I say shut down all imports to start, and if we run out of stuff, make it here. Give jobs back to the Americans, and make exemptions to business owners bringing the jobs back. It is all in getting people back to work. Make people do urine tests every time they go for welfare. If they can afford tattoos and drugs, beer and other nonessentials, they can work.
Make every companys books public.
Fuel tax, sugar tax, tax, tax, tax. When does it all come to a head?

3-20-10 Osceola County Stadium
Today was day 2 of the Spring Training trip and my dad and I were back at Osceola County Stadium to see the Astros and Yankees.
The day started off well when I went and watched some of the Astros minor leaguers at one of the practice fields,
and found this just beyond the center field batter's eye.
It was the only ball I would get for about the first half hour or so. When the Astros second string started hitting at the practice field directly adjacent to Osceola County Stadium, I was ready.
Rodriguez would go on to knock in a run with a base hit here. I captured it all on video:
Robinson Cano:
My dad and I left the game after all the regulars came out of the game and headed for Bradenton FL. We would see the Pirates and Rays the next day…

Cool entry! I love hearing about Spring Training games, since I live in Texas & don't have a facility anywhere near me. Good job!
Those nettle hurt so bad. Got stung alot as a kid growing up in Miami and Orlando. Sorry you got stung.

…And does it really matter?
- December 2010 – Elisa service on Galaxy- first mobile service offering
by a telecom provider on a tab and phone
- August 2011 – Vidyo's mobile client is available in the Apple App Store
delivering multipoint HD videoconferencing for both iPhone and iPad
- October 2011 – Polycom announces first enterprise HD video software
solution for tablets
Who was first? Others have called out Polycom for making this false claim. While Vidyo was both first to demo multipoint video conferencing on a mobile device (January 2010 in Paul Otellini's CES keynote) as well as deliver multi-party videoconferencing on a smartphone and tablet, the real issue for enterprise decision makers is not about who is first, but about who can deliver a complete solution. With the memory of Steve Jobs still in sharp focus, I'm reminded that it is not about a specific product, but about delivering for the user the most satisfying effortless experience.
In videoconferencing, porting an application to run on a device is only a small part of the requirement—this just delivers the potential for a personal video communication device. Having an intuitive UI for entering and interacting within a videoconference is another part of the experience. But the most important aspect is the actual video interaction that makes the communication experience natural and engaging. The challenge is that mobile devices use wireless networks—WiFi, 3G or 4G—and packets will be dropped and bandwidth may be limited as well as highly variable. And, an enterprise quality solution must be capable of multi-party conferences that enable communication with other mobile devices as well as desktop and room system participants who may encode at far higher resolutions.
Delivering on this challenge requires a completely different infrastructure architecture than what is offered by the old market leaders such as Polycom whose MCU architecture was designed for perfect connectivity such as provided by ISDN, and has now developed Band-Aid approaches including Forward Error Correction, Loss Packet Recovery and others to deal with the Wireless.Wild.West non-guaranteed QoS bandwidth. The result is lackluster performance and increased overhead that further exacerbates the challenging network conditions.
And the bad news gets worse for legacy MCU architectures when it comes to multipoint. When you have a mobile device interacting with another mobile device and an HD room system, the MCU transcodes and gives the gift of additional latency. Since it must transcode to enable disparate devices to be in the same multiparty meeting, it degrades the video quality in the process as well as adds delay. The problem is that for a natural interaction to occur on a mobile device, there just is not any time available for transcoding. Sure you can do it, but the experience is no longer satisfying. You'll speak over each other, develop a tendency to pause before speaking, and other unnatural behaviors that will make you long for just a phone call or in-person meeting. Clearly, not an "Apple-quality" solution.
Vidyo was built with mobile devices in mind. Vidyo pioneered the use of the recent video compression standard—H.264 SVC— in video conferencing because it enables a latency-free way to adapt to packet loss. Vidyo created an architecture that intelligently routes packets to each participant's device based upon the resolution required, computational capability and bandwidth available, and to do so by dynamically adapting many times a second to changing conditions. And in a multiparty conference, it does this without transcoding so it maintains original video quality and adds less than 10msec delay because it makes packet routing decisions with no need to perform complex computational gymnastics. The user experiences natural HD quality multiparty videoconferencing that is engaging.
While this alone differentiates the Vidyo solution, the win for an enterprise deployment is that the Vidyo infrastructure can be deployed for 10% of the cost of the old Polycom MCU architecture. A single 1U VidyoRouter device can support 100 simultaneous participants. VidyoRouters can be geographically deployed to minimize bandwidth consumption. Since Vidyo is a software solution with central capacity license management, the full pool of licenses is available to all VidyoRouters as needed. The result is a dramatically lower number of licenses required to be purchased. And best of all, Vidyo only needs non-guaranteed QoS networks including internal bandwidth. The cost savings of moving away from dedicated video networks may pay for the entire Vidyo infrastructure!
So maybe this is why Polycom resorts to a misleading announcement. It craves for leadership, but it's saddled with an old architecture that just can't.

Nvidia Corp. this week announced that Audi AG, Tesla and Lamborghini have selected the Nvidia Tegra 3 platform to power in-vehicle infotainment systems as well as new digital instrument clusters that replace traditional dashboard gauges. Audi will use Tegra 3 chips across all its vehicles staring from 2013, Tesla will utilize two SoCs inside model S sedan and Lamborghini will utilize Tegra inside its flagship Aventador model.
"Audi and Nvidia are radically narrowing the gap that has existed between consumer electronics and automotive electronics. By leveraging technology from the very latest smart phones and tablets, Audi is leading the market with innovations that enhance safety and make driving more enjoyable," said Dan Vivoli, senior vice president at Nvidia.
Both of the next-gen Audi's infotainment and the instrument-cluster systems will utilize "Visual Computing Modules" (VCMs) powered by Tegra 3. VCMs are computer subsystems equipped with Tegra processors, memory and IO controllers, designed specifically for automotive applications.
"Audi has long been at the forefront of automotive design, integrating state-of-the-art technology into our vehicles. Our deep relationship with Nvidia demonstrates how we have consistently stayed ahead of the competition," said Ricky Hudi, chief executive engineer of electrics/electronics at Audi.
The Tesla Model S boasts advanced infotainment and instrument cluster systems, based on two Tegra processors. One powers the digital instrument cluster, while the other processor handles the 17-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The infotainment system includes a full web browser and car controls, such as for the panoramic sunroof and door locks.
Lamborghini Aventador, powered by 6.5L V12 engine that lifts if off it from 0 to 60mph (100km/h) in 2.9 seconds, uses Nvidia Tegra processors in its multimedia and navigation system, which displays real-time Google Maps data.
Nvidia Tegra 3 "Kal-El" system-on-chip (SoC) is based on four high-performance Cortex-A9 general-purpose cores with Neon accelerators (1.4GHz single-core or 1.30GHz quad-core mode) and one power-optimized Cortex-A9 core (up to 500MHz), features a GeForce graphics processing unit with twelve stream processors and will have a new display and video engines capable of supporting Blu-ray disc video playback and stereo-3D graphics output. The new device integrates single-channel DDR3L-1500/LPDDR2-1066 memory controller, e.MMC 4.41, SD 3.0, SATA II, 7.1-channel audio controller, faster image signal processor and so on. According to Nvidia's own performance benchmarks, Tegra 3 is 50% - 200%+ faster than Tegra 2 in various applications.
