text: National video lottery conference to be next week in Charles Town By Phil Kabler August 29, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Next week, the West Virginia Lottery will host the first national conference of video lottery states at Charles Town. Attending may be representatives from states -- including Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland -- that are competing with West Virginia for video lottery business.Which raises the question: Why?"That is an obvious question. We feel we are much better off in having everyone on a level playing field," West Virginia Lottery Commission Director John Musgrave said Thursday."If something unsound happens anywhere in the industry, it affects all of us," Musgrave. "Integrity is the key in this business."The conference is set for Sept. 4-6 at Hollywood Casino in Charles Town.Musgrave said more than 50 participants have registered to attend the conference from:| Oregon, which operates state-owned video lottery machines in bars and clubs and in casinos.* South Dakota, which operates a "wide-area network" video lottery, equivalent of West Virginia's limited video lottery in bars, clubs and fraternal organizations. * Rhode Island and Delaware, which have casino-based video lottery, and for years have participated with West Virginia in offering the multi-state progressive jackpot MegaHits games at casinos.* Ohio, which has recently launched video lottery at "racinos" around the state, and is looking at joining the MegaHits consortium.* North Carolina, where video lottery is not currently legal. That state's Lottery has sent representatives to West Virginia to study the state's video lottery networks.* Georgia, which is converting "gray machine" gambling in bars and clubs into a state-operated video lottery. Musgrave said Georgia is unique in that it is incorporating a system the gray machine operators used to avoid violating laws against gambling: Instead of redeeming winning tickets for cash, winning points can be exchanged for various prizes available at each location. Musgrave said officials from Pennsylvania have been invited, but as of Thursday have not registered to attend.Also, vendors of video lottery machines and communications networks will have displays and will make presentations at the conference, Musgrave said."It's a first step, I like to say, in an effort to create a mechanism to get video lottery states together to share information," he said. While some of the states compete with West Virginia for video lottery players, Musgrave said the conference will provide opportunities to discuss cooperative ventures, such as expanding the MegaHits progressive jackpot games into other states."We have the ability, being state lotteries, to link games, as we do with Powerball and MegaMillions," he said, referring to multi-state jackpot drawing games.Likewise, new advanced communications systems will make it possible to feature progressive jackpot games on video lottery or wide-area network lotteries in bars and clubs in multiple states, he said.New technology also makes it possible to link video Keno games for progressive jackpots. In addition to West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland and Rhode Island offer Keno, Musgrave said.Musgrave said it makes sense for West Virginia to host the first conference, since the state offers all forms of video lottery. He said Charles Town was selected as the host site, given its convenient location (less than an hour's drive) to Dulles International airport."It's also a venue where we can display one of our more popular facilities," he said, adding, "We think it will be good, working-type meeting."

Key resources
This project is about building the capacity of shires, outstation resource centres, communities and service suppliers to improve the management of small water supplies to protect public health. The focus is on the development and then ongoing support for water management plans which ensure the safety of drinking water supplies.
The aim of a water management plan is to consistently ensure that the drinking water supply is suitable and safe for consumption. Water management plans are water supply specific and enable those responsible for managing small community water supplies to work in-line with the recommendations of the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (NHMRC, 2004).

The community water planner field guide is a resource package aimed at water managers, service providers and Indigenous organisations working with remote communities to help them plan and put into practice water management programs for community settlements with small water supplies. It has resulted from a project created by the National Water Commission.
The package is for general application and can be adapted to suit almost any type of water supply. The guide has been developed in line with 'The Australian drinking water guidelines' and applies the risk management approach to water supplies outlined in the 'Framework for the management of drinking water quality'.
The guide uses a series of full-colour posters with a supporting manual. Hard copies of the package are available from the Centre for Appropriate Technology (CAT) and state/territory health departments.
Staff at CAT are available to help people who use the field guide in remote communities. A one-day hands-on workshop is available for facilitators to learn how to use the field guide. The workshop is presented by a water specialist and an Indigenous trainer from CAT.

The term carbon footprint has become synonymous with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change. Carbon footprint commonly refers to the volume of greenhouse gases, the most prominent of which is carbon dioxide, which are emitted by an organization, event, process or product.
Because of climate change concerns, coupled with rising energy costs and dependency on non-renewable and foreign sources of energy, the related term energy footprint is entering the vernacular of industry and regulatory organizations. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) developed energy footprints to help target energy saving opportunities in the manufacturing industry. They map the flow of energy supply and demand in facilities and show where and how the energy was used and lost from inefficiencies. The DOE uses energy footprint maps such as the one in Figure 1 to track the flow of energy supply, demand and losses.
Figure 1. Manufacturing plant energy footprint. Source: Industrial Technologies Program, U.S. Department of Energy. Analysis based on 2002 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (Energy Information Administration) data.
Pumping Systems
With the growing focus on the energy footprints of industrial facilities, pumping systems have received significant attention. DOE data indicate that pumping systems consume almost 20 percent of the world's electrical energy demand. To help pump users address this issue, the ASME recently published Standard EA-2-2009, Energy Assessment for Pumping Systems. The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has also focused attention on energy improvements with the Pump Systems Matter educational initiative.
Sealing Systems
Sealing systems are often neglected as contributors to the pump system energy footprint. For most applications, a well engineered sealing system can provide reliable, low emission performance with an insignificant energy footprint compared with the overall pumping system. However, poor selection and implementation of the seal configuration and associated seal support systems can result in an energy footprint that approaches, or in some cases exceeds, that of the pump.
This is the first in a series of four Sealing Sense articles designed to explain how the selection and application of sealing systems affect their energy footprint. The series will provide guidance on best practices to minimize the sealing system's energy footprint size.
This first article provides an overview of the sealing system energy footprint and the energy losses from the interaction between the mating seal faces. The September article will focus on the impact of thermal inputs to maintain the fluid temperatures for high temperature processes. The October issue will address the energy impact of removing diluents introduced as seal flush fluids from the process stream. The final installment will cover the impact of pump shutdown, repair and re-commissioning on sealing system reliability and the energy footprint.
Seal Face Interaction
Mechanical seals operate with one of three mating face lubrication regimes. They are boundary lubricated, full fluid film and mixed lubrication.
Figure 2. Seal face lubrication regimes
Boundary Lubricated
For seal faces operating in this mode, the mechanical load is transmitted almost entirely by contact of the asperities on the surfaces of the rotating and stationary seal rings. This contact consumes electrical energy from the pump driver and converts it into thermal energy from friction between the mating sealing surfaces. The amount of power "lost" at the seal faces is calculated by the formula:
Q (in Watts) = π(ro2 - ri2) [po(B-½) +ps] Vƒc
ro = Seal face outer radius (m)
ri = Seal face inner radius (m)
po = Pressure at the seal face outer radius (Pa)
ps = Pressure on the seal faces from the spring forces (Pa)
B = Seal balance ratio
V = Sliding speed at the mean radius of the seal faces (m/s)
ƒc = Friction coefficient between the seal faces
The seal balance ratio represents the portion of the hydraulic pressure from the fluid sealed that provides a force pushing the seal faces closed. The simplest seal designs are unbalanced but can result in thermal energy generation more than two times that of a balanced seal. For a typical single balanced refinery seal operating at 3,600 rpm and 20 bar (300 psi) on a 50 mm (2 in.) shaft size, the thermal power per this formula is 970 Watts (3,300 Btu/hour).
Full Fluid Film Lubrication
This regime occurs when the mating seal faces are separated by a thin film of fluid, and no physical contact exists between the sealing surfaces. Hydrodynamic seal face topography can be used to create
the separation forces that enable a seal to operate in a full fluid film mode. For liquid lubricated seals, the associated energy losses from viscous shear can still be noteworthy, especially when the fluid between the seal faces has a higher viscosity. Operation in this regime will also result in higher leakage levels that must be considered for each application.

Ms. Kratzke's Classes Digital Storytelling Project Immigration
During the months of December and January, our Social Studies classes have been studying immigration. From Europe to Ellis Island, we have learned about reasons why families immigrate, and what happens to families when those choices are made. Additionally, within this unit we have researched our own family immigration stories. Where did our ancestors come from? Why did they come here? What does their immigration story have to do with us and how does it effect us? Those were the questions we were trying to answer with our research.
Below are the digital stories about our own immigration stories, and our personal links to the past.
Listen to a podcast created about our project by the District Technology and Instruction Specialist and some of the students in our classes.

Jan Mann, a well-respected individual in collegiate women's golf, is in her eighth year as head women's golf coach at the University of North Carolina. Mann, a proven and experienced head coach, became the third head coach in Carolina history and took over the program July 2009.
In Mann's first seven years at the helm, the Tar Heels won five team championships and three individual championships. In 2010-11, Carolina won the Cougar Classic and the ACC Championship while in 2012-13, the Tar Heels won the Liz Murphey Fall Preview, the Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational and the UCF Challenge. Two of the individual titles came in 2012 when Catherine O'Donnell won the 2012 LSU Golf Classic and the 2012 NCAA West Regional while Elizabeth Mallett won the 2014 SMU/Dallas Athletic Club Invitational.
Mann guided Carolina to it's 15th appearance at the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships during the 2015-16 season. The Tar Heels started the year with a shaky fall, but pulled things together toward the end of the spring to finish fourth at the ACC Championships, fourth at the NCAA Stanford Regional, and 14th at the NCAA Championships.
During the 2014-15 season Carolina finished third at the ACC Championships. In 2014 Carolina carded a fourth-place finish at the ACC Championships and finished 14th at the NCAA Central Regional. In 2012-13, the Tar Heels finished 10th at the NCAA East Regional and posted five top-five finishes. In 2012, Carolina finished 10th at the NCAA Championships and carded seven top-five finishes. In addition, Carolina's Catherine O'Donnell captured two individual titles, the LSU Classic and the NCAA West Regional. After winning the 2011 ACC Championship by 24 strokes, the Tar Heels went on to a runner-up finish at the NCAA East Regional and then tied for eighth at the NCAA Championships. Carolina also won the first tournament of the year, the Cougar Classic, and was the runner-up at The Landfall Tradition. In 2010, Carolina earned an NCAA bid to the NCAA East Regional where they finished 13th.
Mann was crowned the 2011 ACC Coach of the Year, the second time she has received that honor. She was also selected the 2005 ACC Coach of the Year when she was the head coach at Virginia.
Mann was the first head coach at the University of Virginia from 2002-2007, establishing the inaugural women's golf program there, with 2003-04 being its first year of competition. Mann's teams participated in the NCAA Regionals in 2005, 2006 and 2007 advancing on to the NCAA Championships in 2005 and advancing an individual in 2006. Mann's teams received 20 ACC academic honors and the Cavaliers were presented the ACC Sportsmanship Award in 2006.
Mann coached an All-America, Leah Wigger, who was selected to the team two times and her players received National Golf Coaches Association's (NGCA) All-America Scholar honors 12 times (five at UNC). Her players were selected to the All-ACC team 11 times (five at UNC) and to the All-ACC Academic Women's Golf Team 14 times (seven from UNC).
Mann served as the head women's golf coach at UNC Wilmington from 1994-2002, taking the Seahawks to the NCAA Regionals for the first time in school history in 1998. Her players received NGCA Academic All-America awards nine times. The Seahawks were crowned the 2002 Big South Conference Champions and one of her players, Rebecca Dean, was selected the 2002 Big South Conference Player of the Year. Mann was chosen the 2002 Big South Coach of the Year and her 2001 team received the UNCW Leadership Award for performance in the classroom, community and playing field. UNC Wilmington also served as host of the 1995 NCAA Championship as well as the 1994 NCAA Preview Tournament.
Mann has also served on several NCAA committees. From 2000-04 she was an NCAA Regional Advisory Committee member and NCAA Division I Golf Committee Member, on which she served as chair in 2003-04. Mann was selected to coach the 2003 United States team during the U.S.-Japan Matches. She was on the NGCA Board of Directors, 2005-07; on the LPGA Coaches Advisory Committee, 2003-07 and on the USGA Intercollegiate Relations Committee, 2003-05. In 2000 and 2001 she was chosen one of Golf Digest's Top Teachers in North Carolina.
Mann, a graduate of UNC Wilmington, was an accomplished golf professional and teacher before entering the coaching profession. Mann was Director of Pinehurst Golf School and Teaching Center, 1992-1994; a teaching professional at John Jacobs Golf Schools in Point Clear, Ala., 1991; Assistant Golf Professional at Echo Farms Country Club in Wilmington, 1985-91; and Assistant Golf Professional at The Cape Golf and Racquet Club in Wilmington, 1984-1985.
Mann is the third women's golf coach in school history. Dot Gunnells was Carolina's inaugural head coach, serving as coach for 18 years, from 1975-76 through the 1992-93 season. Sally Austin then took over the Tar Heel reins and coached for 16 years, from 1993-94 through 2008-09.
Mann and her husband, John, have one daughter, Lindsay Badour of Wilmington, N.C., and two sons, John Mann of Cary, N.C., and Robb Mann of Wilmington, N.C.

Web Search Using Old-Fashioned Punch Cards
Goggle60 gives the search engine a Mad-Men makeover and lets users enter their search terms on a virtual typewriter.
Website Google60, which is described as "an art project to explore distances and heroism in user interfaces," evokes the 1960s and Mad Men with its punch card-style interface. Type in a search term on the virtual typewriter and you'll see the machine type out, character by character, the home search page. Then, you can choose what kind of search you want: text based, image based, or latest news. The search results are all key-based, meaning any images you look for are made up of dashes, pluses, and asterisks.
The concept behind is that the distance, i.e.: the "world-factor", inherent in a user interface adds a heroic dimension of a special kind to what would otherwise be a mere tool. In other words: The more worldly and obstructive the interface, the more intense the user's desires in front of the machine. (E.g., an image composed of block-graphics that is merely resembling the depicted object might well be more amazing than a photo-realistic representation in high-resolution.)

With driver training, sure. Do you believe that he has the sense to learn car control and apply that when he gets aggressive?
The real issue with a '95 M3 is maintenance - a '95 is pretty old and will almost certainly need substantial work. (Very few people seem to be properly maintaining them at this point.) Typically, cooling system, suspension, bushings, and a few other things.
How are you handling maintenance? Will this be your responsibility? His? Is a shop dealing with it? Refurbishing an older BMW can be very rewarding - it'll feel like new, but it can be pretty expensive. And frequently, it's not optional.

Taylor Swift may have made a cheeky little jab at ex Harry Styles during "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" at the Grammys, but she told ELLE magazine she's pretty calm when it comes to her former loves.
"I don't think I've ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever," she told the mag, which features the singer in a yellow checkerboard patterned dress on the cover of its March 2013 issue. "I'm not a yeller. I'm not a fit thrower. If something is done, it's done."
PLAY IT NOW: Inside The 2013 Grammy Awards: The Night's Biggest Moments!
Taylor explained that her songs - which are rumored to be about her exes (like John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner), just come from her need to reflect on things.
"To me it's just writing songs the way I always have," she said. "It's me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn't understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that's their right, but it's all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It's just something I do to feel better."

The singer also made it clear that she's not the kind of girl who makes a beeline for boys.
"I'm sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him - people love that angle on me. They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys. I never chase boys. They don't like it," she said.

The Tuesday morning collision closed one lane of traffic
One lane of traffic on Highway 26 was closed for two hours Tuesday morning after a FedEx truck crashed into the highway median.
Shortly after 7 a.m. Jan. 17, a FedEx truck driven by a 49-year-old man lost traction on Highway 26, about six miles east of Sandy.
The truck veered into the center cable barrier, which is designed to prevent crossover collisions. The driver was not injured, but the collision damaged a section of cable barrier before coming to a stop in the middle of the highway.

I ran across this setup and was wondering if anyone has heard of it and/or think it could be integrated in a carpc. It seems to have been developed by VTTI under the name Nextgen. It is now being distributed by transecurity as DriveVision R. http://www.transecurity.com/products/drive-vision-r.php that is the site address. It has front and rear facing cameras supports up to 6, front facing radar tracks up to 12 or 14 vehicles up to 400 meters away. has time to collision and headway warnings, obd connection that pulls data from pcm, gps, facial recognition, lane tracking, gsm cell modem, wifi and wired network access, 3-axix accelerometer, yaw rate, forward illumination sensor. As soon as I get it laid out I will add some pics of what all is here. There is a cpu unit the radar unit the front side and driver camera, the rear camera, obd connector, the radar processor unit and not sure what else yet.

Windblown dust advisory issued for Coachella Valley
Air quality begins to improve
LA QUINTA, Calif. - As the winds began to taper off on Tuesday, the South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a windblown dust advisory for the Coachella Valley.
Before the advisory came out late in the morning, the air quality index was over 150, which is considered unhealthy for everyone. Although it was later downgraded, the particulate levels were high enough to make the air unhealthy for sensitive groups.
"When we say patients or individuals are sensitive, we usually refer to individuals that have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe allergies or bronchitis," said Dr. Efren Wu, who practices family and sports medicine in La Quinta.
Wu recommends people who are sensitive to bad air stay indoors or wear a mask or a scarf to protect themselves if they have to go outside.
Late in the day Tuesday, the South Coast Air Quality Management District upgraded the air quality index to moderate.

Bug #5157
removeAllEventHandlers 'type' also removes scripted addon eventHandlers
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
|Estimated time:
|2.00 hours
Please exchange all removeAllEventHandlers 'type' CoolBox.
It causes addons to malfunction that use scripted EH.
Instead you need to save the EH ID once added and remove
only that index later on.
1 339 player removeAllEventHandlers "HandleDamage";
2 494 player removeAllEventHandlers "HandleDamage";
1 203 player removeAllEventHandlers "HandleDamage";
1 231 player addEventHandler ["Fired", { player removeAllEventHandlers "HandleDamage"; player removeAllEventHandlers "Fired"; } ];
Updated by kju over 7 years ago
This is also true for XEH added EH.
XEH are a community standard of using EH in addons.
In other words the most popular addons are affected.
Updated by BCA_Cat_Toaster over 7 years ago
Is that the reason why all players get an error message because of an allowed addon only i am using (Fire and Smoke for example)? Or has it nothing to do with it?
Updated by kju over 7 years ago
What error message?
It is likely though as the addon should be use EH too.

Updated by CoolBox-SBS- over 7 years ago
I've had a look at XEH and whilst clearly its popular, has been around for a while, it seems to have some shortcomings:
(1) as far as I can tell the mechanism only applies to addons and not to maps. Maybe I'm wrong
here, if so, a pointer to an example MAP (not addon) that uses XEH would be v useful
(2) It doesnt seem to support dynamic addition/removal of event handlers
(3) I'm worried about the performance impact of having permanently active event handlers (you'll notice
none of my event handlers persist beyond the spawn armour duration)
(3) Documentation is a rather limited, no idea of the effect of this stuff in MP in particular.
(4) Code is 30KB for this one feature, and opens up whole new realms of unstability and untested
(5) Licence conditions not really compatible with what I'm trying to do with the AAS mode
In short, I'm not personally interested in supporting compatibility with other addons. What works, works. What doesnt doesnt. But anyone who wants to fork a compatible version is welcome.

Updated by kju over 7 years ago
You seem to misunderstand the issue.
Yo do not need to implement XEH.
Instead you need to make your mission compatible to
any addon that uses eventhandlers.
The problem is that you remove all eventhandlers.
Like said above the solution is to remember the index
and remove only your eventhandlers.
Updated by CoolBox-SBS- over 7 years ago
Kju, the problem is that event handler IDs are not UIDs, they are list index numbers in a list of event handlers. Which means that if someone else adds or removes an EH, my EH number could potentially change without me knowing. Therefore I cannot trust that the EH ID that I get when I create will remain the EHID that I try to remove. So unless there is only one party adding/removing event handlers, I risk removing someone elses, or (much worse), failing to remove an event handler which makes my player invulnerable.
Its a pretty disastrous failure mode to having invulnerable players running around because of addons they happen to use accidentally messing with my EHIDs, and I'm not willing to risk that my EHID remains unchanged by luck if its not guaranteed by the language semantics.
See http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeEventHandler
<i>"When any handler is removed, all handler indices higher than the deleted one should be decremented."</i>
Updated by Xeno over 7 years ago
CoolBox-SBS-, currently you are disabling every addon that uses Extendend Eventhandlers by using removeAllEventhandlers.
Using the ID is totally safe!
Just do it and use removeEventHandler [type, index], no need to discuss anything here, the A2 engine handles it fairly well. No addon is messing with your IDs, the engine takes care of it.
Updated by CoolBox-SBS- over 7 years ago
I appreciate your input Xeno, but your "just do it" argument does not address the comments in my most recent message.
Updated by CoolBox-SBS- over 7 years ago
ps. sorry kju, xeno, I'm being a jerk. I'm not pissed off with either of u, I'm just frustrated by the poor documentation and semantics of the Arma scripting language. And what I really cant face is another round of running experiments on the system as if it were a black box to figure out what the behaviour should be, and what is safe.

I've been mulling Greenpeace's "Guide to Greener Electronics" since its release yesterday, especially its ranking of Nintendo, who scores a zero out of a possible ten. On the one hand I appreciate their attempts to hold electronics companies to high environmental standards; on the other, it seems that they may be making an example out of a popular company by holding them to arbitrary standards, much like they did earlier this year with Apple and the iPhone.
Nintendo's main sin seems to be not a lack of environmental responsibility, but a lack of information about their policies. The PDF that details Nintendo's failings links repeatedly to this FAQ page on Nintendo's site, where they answer "What does Nintendo do to help protect the environment?". (Examples: "We limit our use of colored paper"; "We require that manufacturers not use any banned substances (such as lead, mercury, etc.) in components, nor use them in the manufacturing process for any components used inside of our products.")
That second claim by Nintendo is pretty broad, but also clear: they say they aren't using banned substances. And I'll agree that they should be publicly listing the standards to which they are adhering and a list of the specific chemicals they aren't using, as requested by Greenpeace. But Greenpeace's decision to label Nintendo's "Chemicals Management" score as "Bad," giving no points on their scale, instead of "Partially Bad," seems to be an attempt to single out a popular company to better publicize their report as a whole. Public shaming is a useful tool, but not at the expense of fairness.
I remain genuinely conflicted. Should Greenpeace have given Nintendo a chance to address their accountability issues before issuing the report? Does Greenpeace deserve credit as a watchdog when they seem willing to forgo evenhandedness for dramatic gesture? Or does the end justify the means?

With shares of Barclays (NYSE:BCS) trading around $14, is BCS an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Barclays is a global financial services provider engaged in retail banking, credit cards, wholesale banking, investment banking, wealth management, and investment management services. The company operates in eight segments: U.K. Retail and Business Banking, Europe Retail and Business Banking, Africa Retail and Business Banking, Barclaycard, Barclays Investment Bank, Barclays Corporate Banking, Wealth and Investment Management, and Head Office and Other Operations. Banking and capital markets services are just about a requirement for most consumers and companies around the world.
Antony Jenkins, promoted to run Barclay after the Libor scandal, pledged to overhaul the bank's culture, committing to values of integrity and respect. Allegations of fraud on his watch are undermining his plan. Barclays allegedly lied to customers and masked the role of high-frequency traders as it sought to boost revenue at one of Wall Street's largest private trading venues, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a civil complaint filed June 25. He cited a pattern of misleading and false representations that went on as recently as April. The first allegations of new misconduct since Jenkins was named CEO of the London-based bank in August 2012 mark a setback in his efforts to break with the past and sent shares plunging the most since he took over.
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart Are Mixed
Barclays stock has been in a range over the past couple of years. The stock is currently surging higher after hitting lows for the year. Analyzing the price trend and its strength can be done using key simple moving averages. What are the key moving averages? The 50-day (pink), 100-day (blue), and 200-day (yellow) simple moving averages. As seen in the daily price chart below, Barclays is trading below its rising key averages, which signals neutral to bearish price action in the near-term.
Taking a look at the implied volatility (red) and implied volatility skew levels of Barclays options may help determine if investors are bullish, neutral, or bearish.
Implied Volatility (IV)
30-Day IV Percentile
90-Day IV Percentile
|Barclays options
What does this mean? This means that investors or traders are buying a very significant amount of call and put options contracts, as compared to the last 30 and 90 trading days.
Put IV Skew
Call IV Skew
|July Options
|August Options
As of Friday, there is an average demand from call buyers or sellers and high demand by put buyers or low demand by put sellers, all neutral to bearish over the next two months. To summarize, investors are buying a very significant amount of call and put option contracts and are leaning neutral to bearish over the next two months.
On the next page, let's take a look at the earnings and revenue growth rates and the conclusion.

'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows': First Images
Warner Bros. is teasing fans with these first released still images for the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. The stills feature the franchise's three largest stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson looking grown up and ready for the business of saving the universe.
The first of a two-part finale of the magic-oriented series first penned by author J.K. Rowling is set to premiere in November 2010 and director David Yates claims it will be the most "real" of the Harry Potter series.
Yates tells USA Today, "It's going to feel very real. They're like these three refugees on the run. They're out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts.
The filmmaker adds, "They don't have a home to go to. We're kind of pulling away from the magic a bit and bringing more reality to it." It's hard to believe that it was just this summer that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiered.

Introducing Gracie ::
This is Gracie and she is anything but "gracie". She is a 5 month old Labradoodle that we took in a few months ago and have not let go of.
It took a lot of wrangling to get her to sit for this photo.
Cheers, Zack
Oh my goodness gracious. If missing you wasn't bad enough, you had to go and make me MORE homesick.
Gracie is beautiful!! I love the backdrop you chose for this shot!!
Aw, how cute!
Hmm…where have I seen this backdrop before, on DVD #2 I was watching last night perhaps?
Cute dog…wouldn't mind a labradoodle myself. Supposed to be easy on the allergies.
Beautiful backdrop. Super cute dog.
Congratulations on getting her to sit still.
great splash of color from the seat
Outside of having a lovely photograph you have a beautiful dog. I've bred poodles for many years and I can tell you (biasedly, of course) that adding 'oodle' to anything makes it better!
Yeah Gracie.
Hi Zack, Cute dog and interesting to see how long their tails are (a lot of dogs in the UK still have their tails docked).
Just a quick note to say glad to see you're posting again and it finally clicked a day or two ago and I can know make my white background any colour I want, including jet black thanks to your tutourials.
aw… you have a sasquatch too! she's a cutie. but i do have a soft spot for the scruffy ones.
Great pIcture! Where did you find that backdrop? I have been searching everywhere for something like that!
Hi Chase,
Meg found that at a local fabric store. It is just a big piece of upholstery fabric.
Thanks! I will keep up the search!
I just love this photo of Gracie! What a cutie, what a great shot! I recently had my dog Harry help me out with testing some lighting, so I know how much it takes for their cooperation. Here he is: http://rudiphoto.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p781815414.jpg
She is beautiful.
What a great little dog. We have a toy poodle cross italian greyhound… a poohound perhaps! Really lovely photography too.
hahaha, my aunt has a labradoodle and talk about hyper!!! he is about 70 lbs now and 2 years old…just about to calm down…well they are praying for 😀
as much of a mop that he is, they love him and bring him so much joy.
i hope this new addition brings you the same!

LUV the pup!

Oncology Questions? Ask an Oncologist for Answers ASAP
I did not say I have or had erectile dysfunction and I have had 2 TURB'S ... not TURP'S the latter relates to the prostate not the bladder ??? ...
You must read as well as you write ...
And you are a doctor ?
God Help Us !!! ...
I meant what I said initially trans - urethral resection of the bladder followed by re-resection of the bladder. (2 x TURB's) ...
Regarding my prostate cancer I had a core needle biopsy and this is being followed by way of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing ... until brachytherapy proves necessary.
I do not have any form of erectile dysfunction.I have anorgasmia as a result of chronic pain at the moment of anticipated orgasm and ejaculation.
If you read my original mail you will see this is a multi - layered question to a complex array of debilitating symptoms.
Your answers must specifically relate to my original mail ...
T1 High Grade 3
OK. If you have further questions or details, use reply to expert.
Otherwise please choose a positive rating . But, still come back if you need to…think of something later, etc. Bonuses are appreciated.
Dear Sir,I am a 59 year old male who was diagnosed with bladder cancer in the bladder neck T1 High Grade 2 years 5 months ago .... Initially the consultant using the flexible cystoscopy found no abnormality but subsequent fixed cystoscopy found the problem to his shock as the cystoscope was being removed and by accident also found I had prostate cancer.Biopsies confirmed the cancer staging following histology results.I have had 2 turb's and regular monitoring with 6 monthly flexible cystocopies.I have been having Mitomycin C & BCG Instillations.I have high urine protein and have had no love life for over 2 years! ...I have regular firm erections but cannot reach orgasm as at the point of ejaculation and orgasm as chronic pain stops me proceeding further. My marriage ended sadly as a result.My BCG had to be stopped 4 weeks ago because it was burning my bladder and I was passing blood,bladder tissue and blood clots.I have regular urges to urinate which causes chronic right kidney pain and I often pee myself because I cannot reach the bathroom quickly enough.
This as you will see is a multi-layered question! ... in addition how do I get my love life back?
Dear Sir,
Thankyou for responding with such understanding.
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) My erections are as strong as ever but the pain at the point of orgasm/ejaculation prevents any pleasure and is incredibly frustrating.
After the first TURB no problems sexually ... after the second TURB about 2 years ago the problems started and despite being told everything would return to normal I have suffered ever since ... can this be resolved?
You have read my long introduction and trust you can deal with my concerns and give me some sort of long term prognosis?
My consultant is uncomfortable talking in detail and simply says 'well we saved your life' ... nothing further :) ...
I have been given Cialis ... what a joke ... I have regular strong erections! ... so is not needed.
I have been given Oxybutynin for bladder spasms and that doesn't work.
I am a F.R.I.C.S. and cannot work at the moment and feel my world is crashing around me ...
Are medications available to fix whatever was damaged?

Picard says to Lily: "You're not in Montana anymore"
First appearance of Zefram Cochrane
The Enterprise Captain is compared to Captain Ahab of the Pequod from Herman Melville's Moby Dick.
In the Pheonix, Riker talks about the Moon in the 24th century, he mentions Tyco City, Tyco is the crater where the first monolith is found in 2001. The system used to release the Enterprise's deflector dish is labeled "AE35", this is the name of the part replaced by Poole and Bowman in 2001, and that part controls the antenna dish.
When Cochrane drinks the "good stuff" with Deanna at the bar he flaps his arm much like George in Easy Rider.
In the space battle with the Borg, the Millenium Falcon is visible in one shot, doing its part to fight the Borg.
Iconography: heavily armed soldiers/officers walking around dark 'assimilated' corridors confronting near-unstoppable alien menaces. Thematics: the 'Queen' who controls the hive.
The design for the Borg Queen was heavily influenced by a similar character from the Michael Jackson 3-D film Captain EO. In that movie, Anjelica Huston played the villainous Supreme Leader, who descended from the ceiling using long cables, much like the Borg Queen does in this movie.
listed as a holodeck program when Picard and Lilly are evading the Borg
During the 1989 premiere of the TV series Quantum Leap episode "Genesis" (part 1), the Roy Orbison song "Ooby Dooby" is heard on a record player during a patio BBQ scene near the end of the episode. That same song is heard here playing on a juke box about 29 minutes into the movie and again at the end of the movie during a bar scene which is set partly outdoors. Interestingly, both plot lines involve time travel and an outdoor social activity during which "Ooby Dooby" is playing in the background.
Picard's wine bottle from 'Family' makes an appearance.
Dr. Crusher tells the holographic Doctor to "do a dance" as a method of distracting the Borg. In Data's Day we learn, when she gives Data dancing lessons, that Dr Crusher was known as the dancing doctor.
Data gets the same damage to his face.
When they beam Worf aboard, Riker says to Worf "Tough little ship" this is a nod to Deep Space Nine (1993) episode 'Defiant,' after the Defiant is attacked by the Cardassians the first time, Tom Riker makes the comment "Tough little ship."

98 TJ Hard Start
I have a 98 TJ with approximately 130,000 miles. Recently - within the past three months - the Jeep has developed a hard start. Here are the issues:
1. Engine catching and ignition takes no less than 2 turns of the key
2. Once started, engine has rough idle with hesitation and vibration for about 10-15 seconds
3. Idle within the first 10-15 seconds ranges between 200-800 PM
4. Once engine has idled for more than 15 seconds, there is a noticeable loss of power when accelerating within the first minute but not always
5. The engine sounds as if it's missing but I can't be sure
I have had the following installs/repairs made:
-Replaced map sensor
-Replaced "Hall Effect"? sensor
-Replaced entire fuel line and fuel pump
-Performed tune-up
-Used fuel detergent 2 times
-Professionally cleaned fuel injectors
-Replaced catalytic converter and muffler
Even with the above work, the problem persists and is giving both my brain and wallet a headache. Does anyone out there have a similar problem or, better yet, do you have a solution or recommendation? Thanks for the help in advance.
did you ever figure your problem out? my YJ is doing the same thing
I'd start with a cylinder compression test.

38 Percent and Falling Believe Bush Handling Iraq Well
Bush's Approval Rating on Iraq Drops in Poll
Six Out of Ten Believe Country Is on Wrong Track
By WILL LESTER, AP
WASHINGTON (Aug. 5) - Americans' approval of President Bush's handling of Iraq is at its lowest level yet, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that also found fewer than half now think he's honest.
A solid majority still see Bush as a strong and likable leader, though the president's confidence is seen as arrogance by a growing number.
Approval of Bush's handling of Iraq, which had been hovering in the low- to mid-40s most of the year, dipped to 38 percent. Midwesterners and young women and men with a high school education or less were most likely to abandon Bush on his handling of Iraq in the last six months.
American troops have suffered heavy casualties in Iraq in recent days. On Wednesday, 14 Marines were killed in the Euphrates River valley in the worst roadside bombing targeting Americans since the war began in March 2003.
William Anderson, a retired Republican from Fort Worth, Texas, said Bush "has the right intentions, but he's going about them the wrong way.''
"Iraq is one of the issues that everybody has a problem with,'' Anderson said. "There are some big discussions about it around town. Everybody's got their agreements and disagreements. It seems like there's no end. Is it going to end up another Vietnam?''
Continuing worries about Iraq may do more than drag down Bush's standing with the public. They could become a major issue in the 2006 midterm congressional races, and if the war is still going in 2008, they could be a factor in the presidential race.
Bush's overall job approval was at 42 percent, with 55 percent disapproving. That's about where Bush's approval has been all summer but slightly lower than at the beginning of the year.
The portion of people who consider Bush honest has dropped slightly from January, when 53 percent described him that way while 45 percent did not. Now, people are just about evenly split on that issue - with 48 percent saying he's honest and 50 percent saying he's not.
The drop in the number of people who see Bush as honest was strongest among middle-aged Americans as well as suburban women, a key voting group in the 2004 election. A further erosion of trust could make it tougher for Bush to win support for his policies in Congress and internationally.
"The reason that trust is so important has to do with the long-standing belief that you could trust him, even if you don't always agree with him and don't understand what he's doing,'' said Bruce Buchanan, a political scientist at the University of Texas. "The honesty dip is partly caused by a loss of faith in his credibility on Iraq.''
The president said Thursday from his ranch in Crawford, Texas, that threats from al-Qaida's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, "make it clear that Iraq is a part of this war on terror, and we're at war.'' Bush pledged to "complete this job in Iraq.''
Almost two-thirds in the poll described Bush as strong and likable.
"He's a man of character,'' said Cheryl Cheyney, a school bus driver from Cumming, Ga., and a Republican. "He's very honest in the things he says. I agree with his belief system, the way he believes in God and is not afraid to show it. That's very important to me.''
But the portion of people who view his confidence as arrogance has increased from 49 percent in January to 56 percent now.
"This country is a monarchy,'' said Charles Nuutinen, a 62-year-old independent from Greenville, Wis. "He's turning this country into Saudi Arabia. He does what he wants. He doesn't care what the people want.''
Six in 10 said they think the country is headed down the wrong track, despite some encouraging economic news in recent weeks.
"Iraq is just a great weight holding down perceptions of an economy that is quite robust,'' said Karlyn Bowman, a public opinion analyst at the American Enterprise Institute. "Whenever you have troops in harm's way, people are anxious about things in general.''
The poll of 1,000 adults was conducted Aug. 1-3 by Ipsos, an international polling firm. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

That quite a mandate you got there George.----- The School Bus driver from Cumming, GA thats quoted in this piece is beyond my comprehension of rational thought.
Yes, but did you note that her name is Cheryl CHENEY!
It absolutely amazes me that these religious right wingnuts are so mezmerized by Bush's phony piety! What character did flashing the bird show these Bible Belters? Maybe if Cheryl and the rest of them started reading history about tyrants and empires maybe then they'd understand that Jesus was about his Father's business and that Ceasar's business had nothing to do with him. I'm not sure when Jesus changed his mind on that issue. Maybe Jesus never did but those TV preachers sure did! I bet Cheryl spends a pretty penny supporting the Pat Robertsons of the evangelical world.
Bush is the arrogant type who has gotten away with crap all his life
by charm and social status. It takes longer than the average Joe, but it eventually catches up with this kind of person. Unfortunately, the trail of harm left behind is much worse, though. I said it before in another post, Bush reminds me of Ted Bundy. This is the reason for the extremes in his percentages on substance (handling of Iraq 38%) and "popularity"(solid majority). But, thankfully the latter group is starting to see the difference between confidence and arrogance. I have serious doubts this guy has any character at all since he joked about where the WMD's are (that's not funny, it's just sick.)

What is the best way to plant Hemianthus micranthemoides ?
I appreciate the more compact uniform growth distance the stems in this pic have for each other. How can I encourage this type of shape ? I'm starting smaller, but its still a very annoying amount of stems to individually plant. If I'm going to make the effort I want to do it the best way.
1) Should I just leave them in a bunch ?
2) Would you empty the tank for planting individuals ?
3) I've heard of people laying stems horizontally. I tried this with rotala and so far its not very uniform or predictable. The side shoots are random in distance, but maybe I'm doing something wrong ? Is this the more preferable method ?
If you want compact, uniform growth, the best way is to plant each plant individually.
High light, good fertilizing and good CO2 is also essential, as expected.
Finally, using a dry start method may be less frustrating when trying to plant (and also prevents them from getting uprooted by fish, water currents, etc).
That's basically it - a stem at a time. It can drive any normal person insane. The good news is you can plant them without stripping off the bottom leaves.
There is at least one other way, arguably, a bit longer, but that will give you the result:
Get a fine SS mesh/chicken wire/hard cloth at a hardware store or on TPT.
Cut it to the footprint you want.
Thread individual stems ~1-2" long through (you can do it in a tub, kitchen sink, counter etc and in several time chunks)
Once complete, clear away the substrate, move the whole thing over and cover with substrate
The substrate covered stems will rot, but that's ok
The stems above the substrate will root
Trim the whole thing back to ~1-2" tall in a week or two
I usually have a ton of HM every couple of weeks or so. PM if you need any.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am one step ahead of you: I got the plant in the substrate (one at a time with tweezers) and it is growing well, but not looking anything like your picture which is my goal. I want a shrubby look but mine tends to grow horizontally with only a little vertical growth. Is this a pruning issue or a lighting one?
I was fortunate that one of our local hobbyists was able to share this beautiful plant. Once established, it appears to grow horizontally and carpets rather quickly. If you were after the stemmy look, you might have to persist in trimming the side shoots of roots to force it to continue growing upward rather than send side growth out.
You can plant them in a bunch of 3 about half an inch apart. That's what I did with my Rotala & it filled in nice.
Now With the cuttings I'm planting each stalk separate to encourage a thicker stem. Tweezers help a lot!

The Posaidon Mercedes-AMG A45 Delivers 485 HP
Before the New Year, Posaidon unveiled its project involving the Mercedes-AMG A45. The German tuner gave the car a significant boost in its power as well as subtle visual enhancements. In its unadulterated form that is fresh from the AMG factory, the A45 boasts a 381 hp and 475 Nm of torque coming from its 2.0-liter turbo engine. The figures allow the car to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, and achieve a maximum speed of 270 km/h. With the package from Posaidon, the same engine is given a total of 485 hp and 556 Nm of torque. The improvements are thanks to an enlarged turbocharger,… Continue Reading »

Blue Jays 3, Yankees 2: Rajai Davis had three hits and two RBIs and rookie Adeiny Hechavarria drove in the eventual winning run with a double in the sixth inning as Toronto dealt visiting New York a setback in its quest to clinch a playoff berth.
Andy Pettitte (5-4) suffered his first loss in three starts since coming off the disabled list. After pitching 11 scoreless innings in his first two starts, the 40-year-old allowed three runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings.
The Yankees staked Pettitte to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on sacrifice flies by Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson, but the offense was quiet the rest of the way. New York fell into a tie for first place with Baltimore in the American League East after the Orioles recorded a 4-3 triumph over Boston on Saturday.
Davis got one back with his eighth homer, a solo shot just over the left-field wall in the first, and tied it with a run-scoring infield single in the fifth. Hechavarria gave the Blue Jays the lead with a double off the right-field wall in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to 10 games.
Blue Jays starter Ricky Romero left with an injured left knee after allowing two runs on six hits over three innings. Shawn Hill (1-0) pitched three scoreless innings and three more relievers bridged the gap to Casey Janssen, who worked around a two-out single in the ninth for his 21st save.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Yankees OF Jayson Nix was sent back to New York for an MRI on his sore left hip flexor. … X-rays on Cano's left hand were negative, and he went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Cano was hit on the hand by a pitch in the sixth inning of Friday's win. … Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez's next RBI will be the 1,950th of his career, tying Stan Musial for fifth all-time.

James Frawley can cross to the club of his choice if he wishes, without Melbourne being able to match a rival offer, after the AFL classified the all-Australian defender as an unrestricted free agent in 2014.
Frawley, who is one of the game's most sought-after free agents this year, has surprisingly been classified as ''unrestricted'' – allowing him to go to any club, without any impediment, regardless of the money offered – because he is not ranked in the top 25 per cent for player payments at Melbourne. In effect, this means he is not one of the club's 10 highest-paid players – despite his record and high rating within a club that has struggled.
Frawley had signed a four-year, front-loaded contract, which meant that he was paid relatively highly in the first year, 2011 – when the Demons had fewer players to pay heavily – and less in the final year. The Demons also made a ''pre-payment'' in 2010 – bringing forward money from his 2011 contract. The defender has put off contract talks with the Demons until he sees how the season unfolds and is understood to be a prospective target for a number of clubs, including Hawthorn and Richmond.
Many officials at rival clubs, however, doubt that Frawley will leave the Demons and believe he wants to see the club make progress after watching it struggle ever since he was drafted in 2006; the Demons have not played finals in his seven completed seasons, and Frawley has had seven coaches in his time on the club list, including caretakers Todd Viney and Neil Craig. The hiring of Paul Roos has already been significant to the club retaining players, with Jack Watts among those who committed to stay.
Under the AFL rules for free agency, a player is ranked according to what he is paid in the final year of his contract. Thus, Frawley is ranked outside the top 10 at Melbourne, in part because his contract tails off (or does not increase) in the last year (in line with the rising salary cap) like many of the better-paid players in their prime. He is perhaps the highest calibre player to become an unrestricted free agent in his first year of eligibility, and at just 25 years of age.
Carlton's Bryce Gibbs, Fremantle's David Mundy and Collingwood's Ben Reid head the small group of just nine restricted free agents (players qualify in their first contract after eight complete seasons).
The others are Shannon Hurn (West Coast), Todd Goldstein (North Melbourne), Shaun Higgins (Western Bulldogs), Heath Hocking (Essendon) and David Mackay (Adelaide).
The better-known unrestricted free agents are mainly older players, who have served 10 years and thus can cross to the club of their choice. Carlton, for instance, has Kade Simpson, Michael Jamison and Jarrad Waite in the unrestricted free agent camp – Waite and Simpson qualifying by dint of their 10 years or more of service, while Jamison, 27, is unrestricted based on his 2014 contract.
Similarly, Collingwood has former premiership captain Nick Maxwell unrestricted based on long service, and Tyson Goldsack in that category due to his 2014 contract.
The AFL's head of legal, Andrew Dillon, said the compensation a club would receive for a free agent was based on his age and how much he received from the club that poached him. This applied ''whether you're restricted or unrestricted''.
This means that if Frawley did leave, the Demons would almost certainly still receive a first-round compensation pick – on the basis that he would only leave for a substantial contract, in the manner of Dale Thomas, who crossed from Collingwood to Carlton, with the Pies knowing they would receive a first-round pick (No.11, immediately after their first-round choice).
No club has yet matched an offer for a restricted free agent.
Hawthorn, of course, did not consider matching the extraordinary, nine year, $10.2 million offer to Lance Franklin, while St Kilda set the pattern when it chose not to match Essendon's four-year deal for Brendon Goddard. The AFL will reconsider the compensation system, which remains the same for the 2014 post-season.
Restricted Free Agents
David Mackay (Adelaide Crows); Bryce Gibbs (Carlton); Ben Reid (Collingwood); Heath Hocking (Essendon); David Mundy (Fremantle); Todd Goldstein, Lachlan Hansen (North Melbourne); Shannon Hurn (West Coast); Shaun Higgins (Western Bulldogs).

Hello there
I'm thinking of using a color picker as preview option in a HTML template to change the color of a specific element, such as the common options in many templates here that ue color picker to change colors of some elements as an unlimited colors possibility. I tried to understand a code used in some template, but couldn't understand.
Hi Morad,
Which bit are you having trouble with?
Essentially all you're doing is using the hex value from the colour picker with javascript to change the css dynamically (which is obviously client side.)
You would use PHP to do this server side, which I imagine what most WP designers use to easily change CSS variables.
Let me know if you need a demo?
