Here the World Religions scholar extraordinaire expresses his portrayal of how we have become blind to the invisible world of spirituality through our reliance on the scientific method as the sacred cow of our society. Smith takes on E.O. Wilson's prediction that the battle for the human soul in the 21st century is between science and religion, and waxes eloquent about the potential of true religious practice. If you're wanting to catch the wave of the rediscovery of what it means to be human and alive, he has a wealth of wisdom to impart. (hosted by Michael Toms)
Former professor at Washington University, M.I.T., and U.C. Berkeley, Smith has also been the Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion, Emeritus, at Syracuse University. His compelling classic, The World's Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions, has been the preeminent text for introducing the world of religious wisdom to millions, and its subject and author were the focus of a highly acclaimed 1996 series of interviews with Bill Moyers on PBS.
He is the author of many books, including:
- The World's Religions, Revised and Updated (HarperSanFrancisco 1992)
- Cleansing the Doors of Perception: The Religious Significance of Entheogenic Plants and Chemicals (Putnam 2000)
- Why Religion Matters: The Fate of the Human Spirit in an Age of Disbelief (HarperOne 2001)
- Beyond the Postmodern Mind: The Place of Meaning in a Global Civilization (Quest Books 2003)
- The Soul of Christianity: Restoring the Great Tradition (HarperOne 2005)

State address expected to include tax cuts
For the third year in a row, Governor Scott Walker is expected to propose tax cuts in his annual State of the State address Wednesday evening.
As a result of a state budget surplus that's $912 million more than lawmakers expected, Walker is set to introduce $504 million in tax cuts. That includes a plan to lower property taxes by $101 for the average home.
"People will generally be favorably responding to what they hear tonight," said Joe Heim, a political science professor at UW-La Crosse. "Property tax is the most hated tax of all."
According to Heim, Wisconsin often lands in the country's top ten states with the highest property taxes. Democrats also know the cuts are popular.
"I understand that people want tax relief, especially with our property tax," Rep. Jill Billings, D-La Crosse, said.
But they're suggesting other ways to spend the surplus and asking for more relief for the middle class.
"In the past, Republicans have made historic cuts to education and job training," Billings said. "I would like to restore some of that funding."
Walker will also outline plans to lower the lowest income tax bracket, which could mean savings of about $50 for each filer.
The Republican-controlled Legislature has to approve the proposal before Governor Walker can sign it into law, but that might not be easy. According to Heim, some Republicans think the surplus money should be spent to fix a growing structural deficit instead of going toward tax cuts.

The money crunch is hitting the U.S.P.S. big time. The Postal Service lost $6 billion in the last fiscal year, despite earning $68 billion in revenue. The loss is less than expected but is still up significantly from the $3.8 billion loss suffered in FY2009. Why is the post office losing money? There are a number of factors, including the following:
1. Mail volume is down 20% because of the economy and more people using the internet to pay bills, send notes, etc. In fact, the U.S.P.S. carried 170 billion pieces of mail last year, down about 7 billion from the year before.
2. USPS had to pay a required $5.5 billion contribution to a fund for future retirees.
In addition, regulators just denied a request for a 2-cent stamp increase next year. That means first-class stamps will remain at 44-cents each. Final revenue and mail volume figures for the fiscal year will be released later this fall.

Birmingham City Ladies v MCWFC: Match preview
Manchester City Women return to action on Sunday with a trip to league leaders Birmingham City Ladies.
After a one-month break, Nick Cushing's side will be looking to continue where they left off at the end of May by stretching their winning run to five.
Goalkeeper Karen Bardsley is eagerly anticipating the clash after such a long interlude and is relishing the challenge of competing against a new opponent.
"I'm really excited to be back with City," she smiled. "It feels like ages since we played Everton so we're looking forward to getting back playing.
"We haven't played Birmingham yet so that will be another challenge for us. I'm expecting a physical game and a hard-fought battle for both sides.
"They've got great players all over the pitch. They'll be disciplined and they're dangerous going forward - but then again, so are we.
"I think it will be a case of 'whoever wants it more'.
"We're taking our preparation really seriously, the anticipation's building and we're really looking forward to it."
With nine league games remaining, Bardsley also refused to rule out the possibility of a domestic title for the Blues in their debut season in the FA Women's Super League, but admitted there is plenty work to be done for that feat to be achieved.
"I don't think a top-of-the-table finish is unrealistic," she declared. "We didn't start very well but we managed to finish the second half of the season on a high.
"We've put ourselves in a pretty decent position and we're in control of our own destiny. If we can pick up where we left off, it would be an amazing start and hopefully that would carry on into the rest of the season.
"We've just got to make sure we show up week in, week out and take care of business.
"We can definitely get top spot if we want it. It comes down to us in the end."
Kick-off for the top-of-the-table clash is at 2pm at Solihull Moors. We'll have live updates from our official Twitter account, plus a match report after full-time.

Research Interests
The dawn of the 21st century can be characterized as the golden era in biochemistry, as much as the dawn of the 20th century was the golden era for physics. In 2003, we witnessed the complete sequencing of human DNA (genome) and we now have access to many mammalian, plant and microbial genomes. An important scientific challenge for the 21st century is interpreting the vast amounts of DNA sequence data that has become available. Understanding the DNA sequence information is critical in converting this information into tangible benefits to humankind - whether it be new protein targets for drugs, or perhaps more efficient enzymes for use in biotechnology. Research conducted in our laboratory focuses on the broad problem of interpreting DNA sequence data to obtain biologically meaningful information.
Early detection of Pancreatic Cancer – Identification of Biomarkers
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly lethal cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. Thus, even though the incidence of breast cancer is estimated to be 5 times greater than PC, the annual death rates of PC and breast cancer are actually comparable. In nearly 95% of PC patients there is neither an associated family history nor specific symptoms at the early stages of PC when the disease can be effectively treated by surgical resection. PC can also display a high biological aggressiveness, and a high resistance to current therapeutics. There are two fundamental ways by which the high mortality of PC can be reduced. One is to develop biomarkers for the early detection of PC and the second is to identify new targets in PC, against whom therapeutics can be developed. Research in our laboratory focuses on contributing to both these efforts, through a combination of computation analysis and laboratory experimentation.
Identification of Disease-causing (virulence) Genes in the Corn Pathogen Fusarium verticillioides
Members of the genus Fusarium are economically important plant pathogens, that cause billions of dollars of damage each year worldwide. Fusarium verticillioides is known to cause destructive diseases in a wide variety of agriculturally important crops including corn, wheat and potato. In corn, it causes the disease knows as stalk rots. In this project, we focus on identifying and characterizing proteins associated with infectivity or virulence. An analysis of the newly-sequenced genome of F. verticillioides has revealed candidate virulence genes. We are now employing recombinant DNA techniques to evaluate these assignments in the laboratory.
Predicting the Function of Proteins
Another area of interest is in using bioinformatics tools developed by us, and others, to predict the function of proteins that are, as yet, not annotated, using just the information from the protein sequence. We have been focusing our attention on a set of protein sequences from the well-known database Pfam. These sequences belong to Pfam families known as 'Domains of Unknown Function' (DUF). Since Pfam is used extensively in annotating protein sequence data from genomes such as the human genome, determining the functions of DUFs will directly assist current efforts to decode sequences from genomes.

We've already seen one trailer for The Canyons—the Kickstarter-funded barebones production directed by Paul Schrader (writer of Taxi Driver, The Last Temptation of Christ, and more), written by Bret Easton Ellis (author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero), and starring Lindsay Lohan with a porn star, James Deen—and it was a clever grindhouse knock-off that told very little in terms of what the film was about. Rather than show much of the plot, or any discernable acting talent from Deen or Lohan, it basically tried to be a clever grindhouse-y trailer. Now, a new trailer has arrived, this time in the style of a 1950s dramatic potboiler. Translation? The film is not very good, so rather than show any content, the filmmakers are trying to distract with clever ad gags.
Watching the new trailer, what little you see in the way of actual plot or acting makes the film appear to be amateurishly performed at best, with just about all of the talent being behind the camera rather than in front of it. Seriously—some of these line readings are enough to make one shudder, were they not so funny:
So there you have it. A film so bad, the marketing strategy has been altered to "let's make it look like we were trying to make a bad grindhouse movie all along!" Who would have thought Lindsay Lohan and a guy whose previous experience was porn-level acting couldn't carry a picture?
What do you think of the trailer?

If thinking of a garden full of ready-to-eat produce conjures up images of bucolic fields in a rural area, try these words on for size "urban gardening". Sound a little odd? More and more city dwellers are choosing to garden in their limited spaces and urban community gardens, once a rare find in the city, are becoming more commonplace. The interest and demand for public growing space is, well, growing! Community gardens offer opportunities for city residents to learn and connect with each other, as well as reap the benefits of fresh produce. Urban green spaces also help beat the heat of the concrete jungle. Urban gardens are cropping up all across America. Here are just a few we know of. Do you know of any urban garden programs in your area?
Capital District Community Gardens
Upstate New York
CDCG manages 47 cooperative neighborhood food gardens in New York's Capital Region and operates the Veggie Mobile – a mobile produce market that makes fresh produce more affordable and accessible for low income, inner city residents in the area.
Eco City Farms
Prince George's County, MD
The secret to good produce is good soil, and worm poop gets the job done. ECO City Farms aims to change the fresh food landscape in the Chesapeake food shed through sustainable urban farming and agricultural jobs training. Its motto is, "We grow great food, farms and farmers."
Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture
Alexandria, VA
The Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture based in Alexandria, Va., is located on the grounds of a former plantation owned by President George Washington. The nonprofit has teamed up with the National Trust for Historical Preservation to help bring an end to food deserts in the D.C. region. Meanwhile, kids get an education in raising plants and killing bugs.
Indy Urban Acres Farm
Indianapolis, IN
The city of Indianapolis recently transformed eight acres of undeveloped property into healthy productive land designed to feed hundreds of people in real need of fresh produce, and dedicated to educating people on food literacy at the neighborhood level. Indy Urban Acres also serve as educational resource for user groups, community organizations, and Indy Parks youth programming to learn the value of the urban gardens.
Oakland Community Gardening
Oakland, CA
The city of Oakland operates nine organic community gardens, striving for better access to good food for everyone. The gardens are popular places for residents to stay active in their local communities. Members must be at least 18 years old and pay an annual fee for a garden plot.

Composer-conductor Marvin Hamlisch dies at 68
How much did Marvin Hamlisch love symphony orchestras? He spent the end of his career as a principal pops conductor flying around the country, conducting in Pittsburgh, Dallas, Seattle, San Diego and, of course, Milwaukee.
He didn't do it for the money, Milwaukee Symphony principal trumpeter Mark Niehaus pointed out. "He loved being able to use all of his talents at once, of being a conductor, putting a program together, the talent of knowing everybody."
Hamlisch, who composed the scores for dozens of movies, including "The Way We Were" and the Broadway smash "A Chorus Line," died Monday evening in Los Angeles. Hamlisch, who also served as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's principal pops conductor since November 2007, was 68.
Hamlisch's career included composing, conducting and arranging music from Broadway to Hollywood, from symphonies to R&B hits. He won every major award in his career, including three Academy Awards, four Emmys, four Grammys, a Tony and three Golden Globes.
Hamlisch composed more than 40 film scores, including "Sophie's Choice," "Ordinary People" and "Take the Money and Run." He won his third Oscar for his adaptation of Scott Joplin's music for "The Sting." His latest completed screen work was on Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant!"
On Broadway, Hamlisch received both a Tony and the Pulitzer Prize in 1975 for the long-running favorite "A Chorus Line," and won the 1974 Grammys for best new artist and song of the year, "The Way We Were."
Hamlisch was working on a new musical, "Gotta Dance," at the time of his death and was scheduled to write the score for a new film on Liberace, "Behind the Candelabra."
Hamlisch has been the principal pops conductor for the Milwaukee Symphony for a number of years, and was scheduled to conduct several programs in the coming season. He holds a similar position with orchestras in Pittsburgh, Dallas, Pasadena, San Diego and Seattle.
Niehaus said Hamlisch's concerts could be as entertaining for the musicians as for the audience, because they never knew what he might say between selections. He also relished Hamlisch's "Rent-a-Composer" shtick, marveling at the composer's ability to take a title from the audience and turn it into a song on the spot.
In a statement on its website, the Milwaukee Symphony announced it would dedicate the opening weekend its forthcoming Pops season, Oct. 12-14, to Hamlisch.
The Milwaukee Symphony Pops programs Hamlisch was scheduled to perform in October, February and April will go on as announced, with different conductors, an orchestra spokeswoman said.

This is my first thread, and I'd just like to say that I'm a budding audiophile. I'm a college student and either going for biomedical or audio engineer.
I just received the Corda Headsix I bought from another forum member and all I can say is wow. Before I got it, I was really skeptical as to how an amp could actually change the sound of headphones, but now I can really see the difference. I was running Beyerdynamic DT770s and ATH-M50s off a tiny little E5 thinking that I need just a bit more power to make them sound near their max potential, but now I realize how wrong I was. The treble and mids are just brought out so much by the Headsix. The bass is more full (although not louder at all). I could notice some tiny things in Tori Amos and Evanescence songs that I could never hear before; the instruments just had so much more depth (not sure if that's the right word). It's just such a great experience to listen to it. The DT770s are no longer just a headphone I use for their comfort.
I'm really tempted to buy a decent desktop amp now, but I don't think it would be that much better than my Headsix at a similar price range. I'll wait until my birthday for that. My wallet will survive (at least until I'm out of college)!

I'm feeling a might New Years-ish! The approaching change looks interesting this morning!
Time to recognize!
For meritorious conduct in the face of wicked witches and heart attacks, Penelope, you have been inducted into the Legion of Courage, along with Amber Skyze, who put on a brave face after enormous tragedy and soldiered on. Ladies, my hat is off to you. I admire your strength and fortitude – and I envy your sites and readership!
These two authors have stuck by me from day one of my very first publishing contract – I owe them a big shout out – Anny Cook and Sandra Cox. You are the best! Anny writes paranormal romance and Sandra fosters cats and writes some great YA fantasy and nonfiction.
She who makes me laugh out loud – no matter how awful stuff is, author Mia Watts! She also writes the only M/M stuff I read. Her men are, uh, incendiary. Fanning myself…Oh she of the golden prose…think Lord Dunsany.
These two authors go above and beyond, generously devoting their time and space to other authors – Rachel Firasek and Michele Zurlo. Michele hosts The Steam Room and Rachel, A Possessed WIP. Great stuff!
The female bloggers who force the old neurons to fire:
TJ of Dreams and Speculation – OMG – she's a bloody genius! Talk about expanding your horizons! Reading TJ's site does it every time.
Jessica at Read, React, Review – If book blogging was an experiment, she would be the control. She's like…it's too early in the morning to think of words…let me put it this way…Jessica sets the bar high.
Charlie at Smart Girls Love Science Fiction and Paranormal Romance – the name of her site pretty much says it all. She is one of the most concise bloggers I know, always fills her blog with outstanding content and reviews, which leads me to my next smart woman -
Rebecca, of Dirty Sexy Books. Rebecca, along with Stephanie at Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust, are my go-to women. Rebecca, believe it or not, answers her emails! She's interactive and like all the bloggers mentioned above and below, responds to comments. Plus, like Stephanie, she subscribes to the concept of 'economy of words'. She doesn't waste my time. Speaking of Stephanie, she's like scary smart, yet incredibly tender-hearted. She has a real soft spot for animals and nothing gets to me like a person with compassion for our furry and feathered friends. She, Penelope, TJ and Jessica are all academics who love romance, paranormal and speculative fiction. When I read their posts, I feel like I'm back in college listening to the lectures of my favorite professors.
The best recs? Julie, at Outlandish Dreaming. I get good reading recs from many sites, but Julie and I have similar taste in romance. I use her site like a shopping cart – What's Julie reading now? Whatever it is, I'm on it! Most of the books currently sitting in my TBR pile are from Outlandish Dreaming.
The sweetest book blogger/reviewer on the planet? Susi at The Geeky Bookworm. I don't think I've ever met a nicer person – and she's one of those smart girls too! She's passionate about romance. Her native tongue is German. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to read romance in another language, let alone review it? She's amazing! And pretty funny too because she's such a squeamish girl! She reminds me of me. Villains scare her!
Authors who always have something interesting to say? Everyone on my side bar, but you have to check out Nina Pierce and Rosalie Lario. Sometimes I'm guilty of skimming, but I read their posts from top to bottom. They use their sites for teaching moments. These two are great references for wanna-be authors.
Katalina Leon writes ephemeral erotica – my husband and I share a love of her books (and I worship at her feet) – we hold readathons to see who can finish them first, him on his Kindle, me on my computer. Is your marriage/sex life stuck in the doldrums? Read Kat's stuff. It's like lightning in a bottle. Go. Read. Enjoy. Don't hurt yourself.
The links I have on my sidebar are there because those authors and bloggers are special people. Every single one brings a unique perspective to the romance genre. If I had the space, I'd mention each of you. I encourage readers to check them out when you have some free time.
Last but not least, many thanks to outstanding author Fran Lee, who is always available when I need a pat on the back or a kick in the ass.
Best read of 2010 – Under Heaven, by Guy Gavriel Kay
Best movie of 2010 – True Grit, with Jeff Bridges
Best star-struck moment – hearing from Laurence Gonzales, author of Deep Survival, Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why – after my series of posts on surviving the canoe trip from hell. His book saved our lives.
Other best star-struck moment – connecting with one of my all-time favorite fantasy authors, Tad Williams – His books are on the top of my recommended reading list. He's also pretty hilarious!
So, done. Happy New Year. And I love you all. Oh Auntie Em, there's no place like home…

Dogs Need Rehoming, Not Cloning!
News of Britain's first cloned dog – a dachshund named "mini Winnie", born at a total cost of £60,000 – has been splashed across the newspapers this week.
Many people find the idea of creating a clone of a loved one pretty disturbing, and there are serious scientific and ethical arguments against cloning, too.
First, the cloning process is experimental, with a low success rate – between 0 and 20 per cent. The first team that managed to clone a dog had a success rate of two dogs out of 123. For every animal successfully cloned, many others have died somewhere along the way – deaths that were completely unnecessary, often in distressing laboratory conditions.
Anyone who has ever lost a loved one knows the grief can be overwhelming, but replicating an adored dog or cat, even if it is successful, can only replicate genetic material. Just as fraternal twins are different people, cloned animals will also have personalities that are different from the original ones. As cloning scientist Sir Ian Wilmut put it: "Owners will be disappointed". Moreover, various studies have shown that cloned animals generally have a weak immune system, high rates of infection, increased incidence of tumour growth and disorders, high morbidity and mortality rates, and a poor survival rate of foetuses.
Every year, millions of homeless animals are euthanised because of a lack of suitable homes. More unfortunate animals are abandoned to fend for themselves on the streets and are often subjected to cruelty or succumb to starvation, diseases or injuries The best tribute that anyone can pay to an animal companion who has passed away is to give a happy future to one or two animals who are already on this Earth, equally deserving of love and desperately in need of a home.
i total agree ..why pay for a pet to be cloned when theres other dogs looking for a new home !! its like some one paying £500 – £1000 for a dog out of the paper
u could find the same pet in dog kennels for less its all about greed
Completely unbelievable. There are so many animal needing homes. It's disgraceful and unethical. These scientist should be making the world a better place rather than extorting the rich to clone their pets.
What a waste of money! That money could of helped so many dogs!
Its just wrong full stop
No cloning please there are lots of dogs without homes leave your lived ones memiry to go on after they die but not the body. Rehome a homeless dog you can love another and another dog will live you deserves
Poor animals, they shood rest in peace. And we as those who care about our pets, should give a chance to another pets who are homeless
Fraternal twins are not genetically identical, do you mean identical twins peta?
So many of these articles need a good proofread.
when my dogs had to be put to sleep after they suffered so much pain. I wanted to do many things , I have so much pain. but im glad I stood by my promise to myself.& gave them peace, ihope. BUT TO CLONE IS NOT JUST SICK TO THE MEMORY OF THE BELOVED, TO CLONE THE DOG? TO GO THROUGH IT ALL AGAIN, WHO KNOWS IF THE MIND WOULD REMEMBER & SCREAM. I ALSO WOULD NEVER WANT TO SEE A MEMORY OF MY POOR DOGS LIKE THAT AGAIN.. SPENT YOUR MONEY ON HELPING THESE POOR ANIMALS. WHO HAVE NO ONE, I REHOMED A DOG & HE RESCURED ME, I LOVE THEM ALL.

Spielman credits Frazier for 'outstanding job'
GM Rick Spielman is happy with the approach coach Leslie Frazier has used to turn around the Vikings.
By BRIAN HALLFS North
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings owners Mark and Zygi Wilf, along with newly appointed general manager Rick Spielman, chose to stick with coach Leslie Frazier after a year in which their team tied a franchise low with a 3-13 record last year.
Frazier was given another year to demonstrate his leadership and coaching acumen, the chance to have his calming influence take hold on a team filled with first- and second-year players and to pull the Vikings out of the depths of a two-year tailspin. Frazier's hold on the position seemed tenuous at best heading into this season, when he was handed the league's seventh-youngest opening day roster.
The Wilfs and Spielman, who was first given full general manager decision-making power in January, have been rewarded as Minnesota is 6-4 and in the thick of playoff contention with six games to go. The patience Spielman has preached with the young roster has transferred to his view of the coaching staff.
"I think its patience, but it's also a sense of urgency, too," Spielman said Wednesday while addressing reporters during the team's bye week. "Because you want to win, and when we went into the season we wanted to win. We want to win every game. That's why you're in this business. Patience is a fact that you know you have a lot of new faces, you have a lot of first- and second-year guys that are contributing, but also know that you have to go out there and win ballgames, too."
In the second year of a three-year contract without any word of an extension in the works, Frazier has the support of his superiors. Players and staff alike have given the coach a fair share of the credit for guiding the team through and beyond last year's disappointment.
Frazier's communication with players has been commended. His calming influence has been embraced by the young and old in a Vikings locker room that many --including standout receiver Percy Harvin and defensive end Jared Allen -- have said is one of the team's more tight-knit groups in several years. The Vikings' leaders are still veterans such as Allen, cornerback Antoine Winfield and defensive tackle Kevin Williams, but young talents such as Harvin, quarterback Christian Ponder, tight end Kyle Rudolph and rookie first-round picks Matt Kalil and Harrison Smith have a voice, too.
"Leslie's been doing an outstanding job," Spielman said. "Knowing the situation that we were going to have a lot of new faces on this roster, I think the coaching staff has done an outstanding job. Again, we can bring in guys that are talented, but it's our coaches who should get the credit for developing these guys. And our coaches should get the credit for playing these guys and letting them grow into the positions as they grow. Because you know you're going to have some ups and downs, especially when you have a young roster."
Still, Spielman refused to comment on Frazier's contract situation and the possibility of extending the coach who has helped lead the turnaround.
"We keep everything internally," Spielman said. "I won't discuss anything on contracts."
It's rare for coaches to work into the final year of a contract. Surely, the topic will arise during the offseason, and Frazier will have some ground to stand on after leading this season's revival.
Very few people outside of the organization expected the Vikings in contention at this point in the season. A tough late-season schedule remains, but Minnesota has likely already kept itself from a third straight last-place finish in the NFC North with a sweep of the Detroit Lions. The Vikings entered their bye with a confidence-building, convincing win against Detroit on Sunday, pulling themselves out of a slide that had seen them lose three of their previous four games.
If the momentum continues, there won't be any question where Frazier stands with the Wilfs and Spielman.

The In Salah onshore gas development, in which Statoil has a 31.9% interest, is Algeria's third-largest gas development. The field is currently producing at plateau level of around 130 mboe per day.
A contract of association, including mechanisms for revenue sharing, governs the rights and obligations of the joint operatorship between Sonatrach, BP and Statoil.
In the In Salah Gas Compression Project, gas compression facilities were installed on the three existing northern fields in 2010, and compression has started on all three fields.
The In Amenas onshore development is the fourth-largest gas development in Algeria. It contains significant liquid volumes. Production efficiency is high, although occasional capacity restrictions due to priorities in the export pipeline system remain an issue.
The facilities are operated through a joint operatorship between Sonatrach, BP and Statoil where Statoil's share of the investments (working interest) is 45.9%. Production has reached plateau level. The rights and obligations are governed by a production sharing contract that gives BP and Statoil access to a share of the liquid volumes. A continuous production drilling campaign is ongoing.
The In Salah Southern Field Development Project was sanctioned in late 2010. This project will mature the remaining four discoveries into production. It is planned to come on stream in the first half of 2014. The southern fields will tie in to existing facilities in the northern fields.
The In Amenas Gas Compression Project, which is led by BP, was sanctioned in late 2010. The compressors are expected to come on stream early in 2013. This will make it possible to reduce well head pressure and maintain the contractual production commitment.
The Hassi Mouina exploration phase has been extended until September 2012 . Statoil is currently assessing the technical solutions for and the commercial attractiveness of a potential development.

Rays' farm director relishes growth of Matt Moore
Rays' farm director Mitch Lukevics takes pride in seeing Matt Moore become an All-Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- There is a father-like excitement for Mitch Lukevics in seeing
Matt Moore become an All-Star.
Lukevics, the
Tampa Bay Rays' director of minor-league operations, has seen Moore grow from a raw talent into one of the American League's most effective pitchers. On Thursday, the Rays left-hander (13-3, 3.44 ERA) received word that he was named to his first All-Star Game, to be played Tuesday at Citi Field in New York. Moore replaces injured Texas Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish (back).
"It's a journey," Lukevics said. "It's like raising your kids."
As with all journeys, however, there are memories of a beginning. The Rays -- then the Devil Rays -- drafted Moore in the eighth round of the 2007 draft.
At age 18, Moore debuted in the minors in rookie ball with the Princeton Rays. Future stops included the Single-A Bowling Green Hot Rods, the High-A Charlotte Stone Crabs, the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits and the Triple-A Durham Bulls.
Lukevics spoke for a few minutes Friday at Tropicana Field about Moore's development.
When it started to come together
"He goes to Bowling Green, and he gets off to a bad start, and the technique is not where it needs to be -- the release point is not there. He had such good stuff that he is physically maturing that he just out-stuffs everybody. Basically, the same thing (happened) when he got to Charlotte. Early struggles. He starts figuring it out more. Then he gets to Double-A. Then he starts repeating his delivery with more and more consistency, better technique, more consistency. It was better strikes. ... You've got to give Matt Moore a lot of credit, because he's a good worker with good character with some good coaches to give him some guidance. Everyone one of our guys would tell you that it's about Matt Moore and his effort."
On Moore's major-league potential
"I think you saw it early on, because you know the type of stuff that's needed here to compete. You don't know early on, mentally, how's he's going to be able to handle. You don't know early on what kind of aptitude he has. ... As he goes through his journey, you're starting to see more signs of that. When it gets to Double-A, and he starts making that progress, you know. You say, 'This is a real possibility in not too long.' "
On Moore's mental strength
"In Double-A, you saw the mental tenacity that you needed. You couldn't out-stuff him in Double-A, and he learned how to pitch a little bit more with his good stuff. And then he knew that someday, that is going to happen."
On traits needed to survive the minors' mental grind
"I don't know if it's one trait, because everybody is different. They need to go through it. They need to experience (it). They have never had this experience and, mentally, it's challenging. Physically, it's challenging. I would say they need some mental tenacity, some mental perseverance to grind it out. A lot of kids find out in this process that it's not for them, because they didn't know what they were signing up for, and now they're in it. ... This is what they have to go through. I'd say mental tenacity, perseverance, grinding it out. You never know until you go through it. It is so mental. It is so physical. You have to go through it. ... They don't know the drill until they go through the Bowling Green season."

By Associated Press 10:57pm, February 17, 2014Jonathan Papelbon wants to be a more positive influence in his third season with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Papelbon left the Boston Red Sox for a $50 million, four-year contract with Philadelphia in November 2011. But the Phillies had a .500 record in 2012 and went 73-89 last season for the franchise's first losing record in 11 years, and Papelbon did not take it well.
Papelbon says Monday he is trying to leave the negativity in the past.
Papelbon went 5-1 last year with 29 saves in 36 chances and a 2.92 ERA in 61 games. But only three regular closers in the major leagues had more blown saves than the right-hander.

Partner Highlight:Managing Design Density for Improved Manufacturability and Faster Closure at Advanced Nodes
IC designers are familiar with dummy fill as a requirement for improving the planarity of wafers and die and enhancing overall lithographic error margin. At 28-nanometers (nm) and looking beyond, uniform planarity requires many complex design density rules and constraints. Furthermore, fill shapes are closer to active signal nets than ever before, increasing coupling capacitance variability and presenting risk to timing closure. Based on a recent study on 28nm fill at AMD, Stelios Diamantidis, product development and commercialization of physical verification technologies, Synopsys and Norma Rodriguez, principal engineer, design-for-manufacturing (DFM), AMD, discuss the challenge of density management and introduce Fill-to-Target (or FTT) technology in IC Validator, Synopsys' physical verification platform. FTT manages density as a key design consideration, delivering optimal uniformity even around prefilled macros. Coupled with IC Compiler In-Design technology, FTT curtails coupling capacitance build-up due to fill, eliminating late-stage surprises and accelerating manufacturing closure.
Planarity – Isn't it the Foundry's Problem?Density management became critically important in the 1990s to enable Chemical Mechanical Polishing (or Polarization), a term commonly known in the industry as "CMP". CMP is the semiconductor manufacturing process of smoothing surfaces with the combination of chemical and mechanical forces. This process removes excess material from the surface of a wafer, evening out irregularities and rendering the wafer more flat, or planar. The primary objective of CMP is to bring the entire surface of the wafer within the depth-of-field accuracy requirement of a photolithographic system. CMP also improves structural integrity and enables even distribution of stress across several layers within the integrated circuit.
Although traditionally a fab-side challenge, CMP has come to impact semiconductor design significantly. To ensure good planarization, incoming designs needed to have both adequate layout density and smooth distribution. Hence, "dummy" fill techniques were created to manage density by adding non-functional shapes to the layout as a chip-finishing step. However, as deep-submicron process technologies continue to deploy a 193nm light source and rely heavily on computational lithography, depth-of-field accuracy requirements have reached Angstrom levels. In this environment, even tiny abrasions and impurities during CMP can prevent material removal in a uniform and predictable fashion, resulting in systematic yield loss. Fill techniques have therefore had to evolve in order to deliver to an increasingly stricter quality of result (QoR) for manufacturability.
At 28nm, and looking beyond, the traditional methodology of design post-processing for density and manufacturability has run out of steam. First, designers are finding it very difficult to comply with the ever more complex foundry rules and requirements (Table 1). Changing density specifications as needed on a per design basis, adding specialized rules, and considering multi-layer interaction effects are all placing excessive stress on the traditionally ad-hoc process of design post-processing for fill.
Table 1: Foundry density management requirements
Second, as geometries shrink, fill shapes are placed closer to active signal nets than ever before, causing increasing coupling capacitance build-up and introducing risk of late-stage timing surprises.
Figure 1: Traditional fill methodology. Fill is inserted as a post-processing step after timing and DRC closure.
As shown in Figure 1, fill insertion traditionally occurs after timing closure has been reached and the design is DRC (design rule check) clean. Designers hence need to acknowledge that inserting fill as part of this flow will expose their design to coupling capacitance variability and will definitively influence timing.
Fill-to-Target: A Better Way to Manage Design DensityIC Validator 2012.06 introduced new Fill-to-Target technology, or FTT. The result of a multi-year collaboration with IDM and foundry partners, FTT represents a fresh approach to density management, targeted at making the fill process more result-oriented, predictable, and designer-friendly.
Managing Foundry Density Requirements The foundation of a smarter approach to density management is to "begin with the end in sight." Fill tools usually rely on foundry rules, which largely regulate spacing and local density. FTT expands this scope to offer a constraint-driven approach, based on tile-based layout analysis and parametric, close-loop, fill flow (Figure 2).
Figure 2: FTT tile-based analysis. A programmable grid of tiles is applied to allow local characterization of layout data.
A programmable grid of tiles is applied to allow local characterization of layout data. Parameters of interest, such as density, perimeter, and others, are captured into a parametric layer. This parametric data is used to drive intelligent fill creation algorithms that deliver to multiple constraints both locally and globally. This closed loop analyze-fill approach allows the tool to make cost-based decisions and identify the right fill shape for the right space, boosting QoR and eliminating late-stage surprises related to design density (Figure 3).
Figure 3: FTT closed-loop fill insertion uses parametric data to insert the right shape in the right place.
The FTT approach is particularly effective when considering filling around pre-filled IP blocks (hard macros), a typical source of late-stage density violations. FTT delivers smooth gradients around macros by allowing engineers to supply relevant parametric information up front. This way, IP block parameters can be factored into the analysis of adjacent tiles, giving FTT all necessary information to ensure that a single-pass flow can satisfy user requirements.
In a 2012 study, AMD compared FTT to the more traditional fill insertion used in production at the time ("Plan of Record – PoR fill") (Figure 4 and Figure 5). The study compared a variety of metrics related to overall QoR and turnaround time performance.
Figure 4: FTT-generated fill for an AMD 28nm design (Metal 3 layer). A variety of shapes and orientations is used to meet density goals, while maintaining tight distribution of material for improved manufacturability.
Figure 5: AMD 2012 Study – Comparing median density of traditional "PoR" fill vs. FTT. The target density of 45% was readily met within expected tolerance.
AMD's results clearly demonstrate the benefit of adopting the FTT approach for density management and manufacturability. Median density across all metal layers met the density target within acceptable tolerance for local effects. FTT's fine grain accuracy allowed AMD to raise the overall density goal for metal layers to 45%, and limit the min/max range between 35% and 70%.
Performance results were equally impressive. FTT delivered 2x faster overall runtime compared to AMD's PoR fill, while also eliminating late-stage iterations related to density window violations. Size of fill on disk increased but this increase was anticipated given the broader range of fill shapes involved and higher overall density compared to PoR fill.
Figure 6: AMD 2012 Study – Comparing performance of traditional "PoR" fill vs. FTT. Faster runtime and equivalent memory utilization/size on disk (normalized for improved QoR).
Given the observed benefits, AMD decided to standardize on IC Validator Fill-to-Target as their new production density management system at 28nm.
Balancing Density and Timing Requirements to Preserve Timing ClosureMeeting density challenges within schedule requires elevating fill to a key design consideration, rethinking traditional design flows and methodologies. Extracting for and preserving timing, managing hierarchy, data representation, integration in the design flow, and ECO handling are all important aspects of making fill insertion more designer-friendly. A better approach to density management should intelligently bring foundry signoff accuracy into the design environment, enabling hierarchical fill within place-and-route tools and making fill visible to downstream parasitic extraction and signoff engines. This type of step-up in designer productivity cannot be achieved by point tools alone; it requires smart integration and carefully crafted design flows.
To efficiently balance manufacturing requirements with the traditional designer care-abouts of area, power, and performance, IC Validator is intelligently integrated with IC Compiler for In-Design physical verification. The In-Design approach enables bringing together key elements of these independently optimized tools to address complex problems efficiently and eliminate wasteful fix-verify iterations (Figure 7).
Figure 7: In-Design physical Verification for density management. The bottom-up approach makes it possible to handle fill insertion as part of overall design evolution.
The In-Design approach makes it possible for engineers to balance density and timing more efficiently, minimizing impact due to coupling capacitance build-up. First, the effects of fill on parasitics and timing become visible to the design environment, boosting correlation with final signoff. Second, In-Design technology makes it possible for IC Compiler and IC Validator to share design timing information. This information is then used by IC Validator during the FTT process to automatically ensure proactive handling of fill shapes around critical timing areas, for both same and adjacent layers (Figure 8). Trade-offs become metric-driven and any conflicts are resolved within the tolerance requirements of both manufacturing and timing closure. The timing-aware flow eliminates not only late-stage surprises, but also unnecessary iterations between design teams and with downstream analysis tools.
Figure 8: Timing-aware fill insertion within IC Compiler. Left: Non timing-aware. Right: Timing-aware. Spacing to fill shapes on same and adjacent layers is automatically increased around critical paths to minimize variability.
As part of their 2012 study, AMD examined the impact of coupling capacitance variability due to fill on high-performance design timing at 28nm (Figure 9).
Figure 9: AMD 2012 Study – Effect of fill on high-performance design timing.
In AMD's testcase, Worst Negative Slack (WNS) impact due to fill was 7ps, a significant change for high-performance design. In-Design timing-aware fill was able to contain the change to 3ps, saving valuable margin. It is also important to consider that the WNS metric captures the single worst path. It was determined that this path appeared in a fairly dense area of the design, which FTT treated with a relatively moderate number of fill shapes. Otherwise, the impact to WNS could have been more severe.
The Total Negative Slack (TNS) metric was also quite telling. The impact of fill on timing when it came to total slack was measured at 24%, with multiple paths becoming of concern to designers. However, in the case of In-Design timing-aware fill, TNS impact was reduced to 6% and no paths showed any notable new risk to timing closure. In addition, there was negligible difference in design density and performance metrics, leading to the conclusion that density and timing balance was successfully maintained.
ConclusionsAt 28nm, and looking beyond, the traditional methodology of design post-processing for density and overall manufacturability can lead to suboptimal results and schedule delays. This paper presented a novel approach to density management based on new Fill-to-Target technology in IC Validator and In-Design physical verification with IC Compiler. Proven at AMD for high-performance physical design at 28nm, Fill-to-Target makes it possible to more efficiently balance manufacturing and timing requirements, delivering better density while accelerating design closure.

EUR Defends its Strength
The risk sentiment showed a global pullback, as soon as the US GDP growth came in worse-than-expected yesterday. A slowdown in US growth was widely priced in, yet the unexpected negative growth surprised to the downside. As the two-day FOMC meeting came to its end, the Fed extended its commitment to keep the interest rates at 0 0.25%, and to continue the USD85bn worth APP until the US job market sees substantial improvement. The working target is seen at 6.5%, far below the current unemployment (which had stabilized at 7.8% in December). The January unemployment is due on Friday; we expect the levels to stay in line with December figures. While the initial jobless claims are expected to the upside this afternoon, USD is heading to its 13-month low against EUR. The flight to safer heaven currencies brought JPY and CHF in sight, while EURUSD managed to defend yesterdays rally. Euro outperformed against its major peers over the last two days, except CHF.
EUR Defends its Strength
The EURUSDs move above 1.35 gave boost to EUR crosses, and created a strong EURUSD intra-day support at 1.3545.EURUSD bullish trend strengthens, the MACD 12-26 day indicator is comfortably positive. EURUSD trades above its UBB and is considered overbought at 72%, according to the relative strength index. Based on technicals, EUR should come under pressure to make a downside correction. Yet 1.35 / 10 zone should act as support for the coming days, as the market is building a EUR-positive bias. We believe that if the 1.3590 resistance is broken, the single currency should get a boost over 1.3650.
While the ECBs Nowotny comments that the single currency is moving within the long-term bands, European politicians are concerned about the strong EUR damages over the Euro-Zone economy. In the long-term, we keep our bearish view on EUR and highlight that the Liikanens project is currently in the sidelines. As soon as the discussions over the banks restructuring restart, EUR should back down, as it has been the case on Jan 22th. EURUSD had responded by a sharp bearish move to rumors stipulating that German Bafin had asked two German banks to simulate a split between their retail and investment banks.
Flight to Safer Currencies
The uncertainty over the US economy triggered a flight to safer currencies, as JPY and CHF. While the disappointment over the US negative growth pulled the USDJPY down to 90.75, EURCHF wrote-off two-week gains. EURCHF Jan 9th 30th bullish trend reversed according to MACD 12-26 day indicator, while USDCHF hit 0.9088 9-month lows.
On the Japanese deck, the USDJPY had an immediate reaction to US GDP release. USDJPY gave off 52 pips in a single move, slipping down to 90.88. While the Asian session saw JPY supportive trading, the European opening brought some consolidation to the pair, pushing the levels above 91.00.

EURUSD has rallied to 1.3587 high and since then the pair has slowly corrected lower. At this point the bulls should not be concerned since the pullback will provide a health unwind of some overbought indicators. We will be watching a deeper correction to reload our long position. The first level of resistance are located at 1.3550 (2nd Dec reaction high) then 1.3617 (18th Nov high). The next support is located at 1.3404 (14th Jan low), 1.3256 (Dec range floor), 1.3123 (65d MA & Uptrend channel), 1.2931 (11th Dec low), 1.2878 (7th Nov reaction high), 1.2787 (200d MA), 1.2722 (13th Nov pivot high), 1.2630/62 (3rd July high & 100d MA), 1.2463 (31st Aug low), and 1.2386 (14th & 17th Aug high).
GBPUSD hit a low of 1.5674 Monday, but has since rebounded to highs of 1.5840 (out-pacing our expectations), however the recovery rally has failed to damage any important resistance (i.e 200d MA). It is highly possible that the pair is merely mirroring the moves in EURUSD, in which case we may be reverting to a sideways, range-trading environment. In the mid-term, bearish momentum (MACD firmly below zero) / trend indicators should pull the currency down to 1.5574. The support zone is located at 1.5574 (9th Aug high), 1.5458 (26th July low), 1.5405 (8th June low), 1.5390 (6th June low), then 1.5266 (13th Jan low). Watch for next resistance to come into play at 1.5891 (21st Jan high), 1.6007 (18th Jan high), 1.5921 (200d MA), 1.6180 (10th Jan high), 1.6340 (2nd Jan high) and 1.6454 (29th Aug 11 top).
USDJPY has been unable to break 91.22 after three attempts which could be viewed as a reversal indication. However, pullbacks continue to be met with strong demand. In the mid-term, despite one-directional rise we think fundamentals have set the course and expected an extension target of 92.49 (key will be this weeks NFP). On the downside, support is eyed at 89.35 (11th Jan high), 88.88 (21d MA), 88.10 (23rd Jan low), 87.60 (16th Jan low), 86.64 (27th Dec high), 85.54 (5th April high), 84.23 (15th March high) 81.50/69 (15th Nov. high & 28th Nov. low), 81.00 (16th April pivot), 79.06 (9th Nov low), then 78.75 (8th Oct high). Above us, minor resistance remains at 91.22 (Jun 2010 high) then 92.09 (11th June high).
After a short pause post-triangle break, the USDCHF bears charged in pushing the pair down to 0.9085, significantly below our near term 0.9170 target. The deep pullback has been support by momentum and trend indictors (back in downtrend) and suggests further downside should be expected. The first levels of support should be located at 0.9085 (20th Dec low) then 0.9041 (1st May low). The next levels of resistance are located 0.9267 (29th Jan high), 0.9304 (100d MA), 0.9385 (18th Jan high), 0.9457 (21st Sept high), 0.9515 (13th Nov high & uptrend top), 0.9610 / 20 (26th Aug high), 0.9810 (10th Aug high & uptrend channel), 0.9900 (2nd Aug high), and 1.0000 (psychological resistance).

What are my rights as a parent with regard to grade retention?
My 6 year old is being retained in Kindergarten because they say she is not ready. I feel she should be put in 1st grade. Do I as a parent have the right to have them put her up and if so how? I have been to the Board of Education And to the school Principal and they told me that there is nothing I can do. my daughters teacher gave her a certificate so my daughter thinks she is going to the 1st grade.Please tell me how I can get her put in the 1st grade.My child went from a 80% reading level to a 64% and a math level of 50% to a 44% so they say she did not meet standards.I tried to tell her teacher that she gets bored easy and my child said she gets tired of doing the same thing over and over everyday but they refused to do anything different now they want to retain her I really don't see how that is fair to her.In Topics: School and Academics, Working with school administrators, State education standards

absolutely yummy pie! will definitely make this one again.
This was the first blueberry pie I ever made or ate, and I was very happy with the easiness of this recipe and the delicious results. Thanks for sharing!
Great Crust! I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white, and e.v.o.o. instead of canola. Oh, and club soda instead of milk. It started out really runny but I added more white flour until I liked the consistency (and a little more sugar), and then used just enough of the dough to cover the pan nicely. This is the lightest and yummiest crust I have ever made (plain white flour pie crusts included!)

The Potsie maneuver...
I watched a 4 part series this morning that I hoped would prove to be valuable preparation for my upcoming journey to Great Britain. Tivo thoughtfully captured all 4 parts for me to watch at my leisure (pronounced "lez-yure"). The saga I speak of is the Family Ties Vacation special where the Keaton family goes to London to take Alex to Oxford.
Within the last couple of weeks I started getting back into Family Ties and asked Tivo to add it as a season pass, which he gladly did. While I enjoyed seeing the Keaton family in an alternate location than their familiar residence in Columbus, Ohio, I felt this mini-series left a little to be desired. First of all, it was shot on film rather than video (on a side-note, I found an interesting article about the differences of film vs. video so I could get my terminology correct to write the previous sentence). Secondly, their was no laugh track to queue us as to when something funny had occurred. Thirdly, the writers had a hair brained idea to add an "international criminal planting microfilm in a hairbrush" backstory to decrease the humor even further. Also, it really didn't show too much about London. Somehow the rest of the family stayed there 2 weeks and didn't really do too much of anything while Alex took some classes at Oxford. Alex did learn a valuable lesson about fitting in which was very low on the heart warming scale for me. Overall, I'd much rather stick with the regular episodes than what appeared to be an 80's ratings gimmick that I can't imagine paid off very well.
I also watched what I would consider to be one of the more outstanding episodes of one of the more outstanding sitcom's in television history. Interestingly enough (maybe only to me) it and Family Ties both first aired in 1982. It was a 1985 episode of Cheer's featuring the first appearance of Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Frasier Crane. It reminded me how amazingly the writers could balance semi-dramatic topics with constant comedy with interesting characters. This show was truly a masterpiece of modern television. While many did not like Shelley Long on Cheer's I felt the contrast of her character to the rest of the bar's inhabitants proved to be very entertaining. Her annoying snootiness always provided excellent comedic setups, a role which was later filled by Fraser and Lilith in Diane's absence.
For some reason I searched for Anson Williams today because I was curious as to whether Potsie was spelled "Potsy" or "Potsie". I learned what I consider an interesting yet useless fact that I'd like to share. Anson William's full name is Anson William Heimlich and he is the nephew of Henry Heimlich who came up with a famous manuever. Which made me think of the great commentary about this maneuver I saw recently in Eddie Izzard's video Dress to Kill. The end.
