S&P Upgrades Texas Instruments to Hold
Texas Instruments (TXN ): Upgrades to 3 STARS (hold) from 2 STARS (avoid)
Analyst: Thomas Smith
The chip maker's share price has fallen a bit since its improved guidance on December 3, creating a slightly better valuation. Although the price-earnings ratio on S&P's pro forma estimate of 35 cents for 2003 is 50 -- more than twice the market's multple -- S&P forecasts 70 cents earnings per share for 2004, indicating a price-earnings multiple of 25, which is a premium that is more in line with TI's peers.
The price/book ratio is near three -- below its annual highs since 1997. Wireless and high-end analog chips are seeing some demand pickup and are a good niche for this decade. Overall, S&P sees a balanced risk/reward as the chip industry expansion plods along.
Photronics (PLAB ): Upgrades to 4 STARS (accumulate) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Richard Tortoriello
The chip-equipment maker posted an October quarter loss per share of six cents before restructuring charges, vs. earnings per share of seven cents, in line with expectations. Sales slipped 4%. While Photronics sees January quarter sales down 11% to 17% from the October quarter because of holiday shutdowns at chip makers, S&P believes there's a significant pipeline of new chip designs ready for production early in 2003.
Photronics' stock hit record lows on a price/sales basis in October, and now sells just above those lows -- at 1.2 times its sales. S&P estimates earnings per share of six cents in fiscal 2002 (Oct.) and 86 cents in fiscal 2003. With the leading position in the photomask market, Photronics is attractive.
Electronic Data Systems (EDS ): Reiterates 2 STARS (avoid)
Analyst: Richard Stice
Shares are up 10% Wednesday, aided by news that EDS is in final discussions to provide IT services for the Bank of Bermuda. The deal has an estimated contract value of $375 million over 12 years. S&P views the deal as a positive, part of a larger effort by the company to focus on relatively smaller outsourcing opportunities. At eight times S&P's 2003 earnings per share estimate of $2.37, EDS trades well below the broader market and its historical price-earnings average.
But despite the news, S&P sees limited prospects for IT services for the near term. Combined with doubtful management execution, S&P would avoid EDS.
Kimberly-Clark (KMB ): Downgrades to 2 STARS (avoid) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Howard Choe
Kimberly-Clark has lowered its earnings per share guidance for the fourth quarter to a range of 72 cents to 76 cents from a range of 82 cents to 86 cents, citing competitive pressures in diapers and training pants and weaker international sales. Competitive pressures are coming from Procter & Gamble and private label companies. Product differentiation remains difficult in Kimberly-Clark's operating segments. S&P sees few catalysts to resurrect sales growth and fears that pricing pressures could erode margins. S&P has lowered the 2002 earnings per share estimate to $3.34 from $3.45 and cut 2003's to $3.60 from $3.76.
Raytheon (RTN ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Robert Friedman
S&P says the departure of CFO Frank Caine is not surprising. After constant cost estimate changes related to the botched sale of Raytheon's construction unit, the financial community had lost confidence in the company. It also didn't help that Mr. Caine seemingly played favorites in the stock research community. However, S&P is hopeful that the new CFO will dramatically improve the financial transparency of the military electronics/missiles-making giant. S&P's models value Raytheon worth between $25-$29 a share.
MetLife (MET ): Maintains 5 STARS (buy)
Analyst: Catherine Seifert
The life insurance company raised its operating earnings per share guidance for 2003 to $2.80-$2.90, emphasizing the diversified business mix that has allowed it to weather turmoil in the equity markets. S&P also is encouraged by MetLife's cost cutting, which should help offset a rise in pension and option expenses. S&P is keeping the conservative $2.55 estimate of 2002 operating earnings per share, but is raising the 2003 estimate by five cents to $2.80. MetLife shares are undervalued at 10 times S&P's conservative 2003 estimate. S&P's six to 12 month target price: $33-$34.

AUSTRALIA'S big banks are playing a waiting game following the Reserve Bank's decision to cut the cash rate by 25 basis points.
Commonwealth Bank and Westpac confirmed that ''rates were under review'' after the RBA surprised the market and lowered the cash rate to a near GFC-low of 3.25 per cent yesterday, in response to signs of a weakening economy.
NAB, while not providing updates on its mortgage rates, pledged to offer the lowest rates among the big four.
ANZ is expected to announce its decision on mortgage rates on October 12, in keeping with its policy of announcing rates on the second Friday of each month.
Bank of Queensland, however, said it would cut its standard variable rate by 20 basis points to 6.71 per cent.
''Given the continuing pressure on the cost of funding, a 20-basis-points reduction is the best balance between our customers and shareholders,'' said BOQ chief executive Stuart Grimshaw.
Rate tracking agency RateCity predicts lenders will withhold some of the margin on rate reductions from borrowers.
''After the last two rate cuts where the Reserve Bank dropped the cash rate by a total of 75 basis points in May and June, lenders dropped their standard variable home loan rates by an average of 53 basis points, keeping 22 basis points from their customers,'' said RateCity spokeswoman Michelle Hutchison.
Lower rates will be unwelcome news to the nation's savers, who have enjoyed elevated interest rates on term deposit and high-yield savings accounts in recent years.
A Nomura bank analyst, Victor German, said the big banks had increased their deposits by an annualised rate of 11 per cent a year in the last three months, faster than the pace of credit growth in Australia.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry director of economics and industry policy Greg Evans said as the funding pressure for banks had significantly eased they no longer had a reason to hold back on rate cuts.
''The intention of the Reserve Bank is to provide benefit to real businesses and consumers,'' Mr Evans said.
''It is not to assist banks and their profitability.''

THINK 2015 Winners
2015 Press Release
Artificial Musculature: A New Approach to the Linear Solenoid
Emma Morgan, Grade 11, Stevenson School, Pebble Beach, CA
Advancement in biologically based robotics is the key to better prosthetics and more lifelike robots. This requires linear motion like that of natural musculature. Currently, the major types of electromechanical linear actuators are solenoids and pneumatics, which are not well adapted for use as musculature. This paper proposes a redesign of the linear solenoid to form linear actuator cells. Consisting of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet, these modular cells will expand and contract based on the direction of the current through the electromagnet. Each cell can connect to another identical cell and form a chain or "muscle". I will test several sizes of cells, types of electromagnets, and materials for the outer membrane to determine which has the most contraction capacity and efficiency. Later research will focus on miniaturization of the most efficient model.
Emma: I am a junior at Stevenson School in California. I love math and science and all types of problem solving. Two summers ago I took an intensive course in electrical engineering and since then I can't get enough of robotics projects. The school tech center occasionally calls me if they have a broken piece of equipment that I might want to dismantle for parts. This year I started an unofficial robotics club, and I hope to build enough interest to create an official team and compete next year. In addition to science interests, I am the captain of my school's varsity water polo team, and I compete in equestrian events year round. I have served on student council for the past three years, and I am the president of my class in National Charity League. I love reading science fiction novels and writing for my school's literary magazine.
Cooler Photovoltaics Using Phase Change Materials
Aditya Jog, Grade 10, William Mason High School, Mason, OH
Photovoltaic cells have the potential to utilize the planet's most plentiful renewable energy source, yet their widespread use has been impeded because of relatively low efficiency. The solar to electrical conversion efficiency of photovoltaic devices suffers when they operate at elevated temperatures. Current solutions rely on active heat dissipation, increasing both capital and operating costs. This proposal offers an alternative, passive heat dissipation system that employs a solid-liquid phase change material as a temperature regulator. During daytime, the phase change material will absorb wasted heat from an attached solar panel, thus keeping the photovoltaic cells near optimal temperature. At night, the liquid phase change material will freeze; this process will repeat daily. The major advantage of this system is that it requires no additional energy consumption at little extra cost. This project aims to produce a cost effective thermal energy storage system to increase the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells.
Aditya: I am currently a sophomore at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. From a very young age, I have been interested in applying science to the world around me. Though my childhood Lego models have not all remained intact, my passion for engineering has only developed further. In the past few years, I have worked on projects in a vast range of areas – from thermoelectric materials to electrowetting to water purification – to contribute to a better, more sustainable future. The opportunities I have received to present my findings have allowed me to meet people with unique ideas from across the country. At school, I have learned to work with a team, think critically, and problem solve as a member of the Science Olympiad and Speech and Debate teams. I hope to continue my involvement in scientific research to improve people's lives now and in the future.
Thermoelectric Gloves: An Ergonomic and Sustainable Solution
Sharon Lin, Grade 10, Stuyvesant High School, New York, NY
While conventional gloves may be able to insulate heat, they rely solely on pockets of air left between the fabric and the user's skin. Worse, many are bulky and do an insufficient job of protecting the hands from cold conditions. The aim of this project is to create a thermo-regulating polymer glove powered by the wearer's own body heat. A thermoelectric generator (TEG) will generate energy based on the difference in external and internal temperatures, storing the energy in a flexible, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) battery. The battery will be nestled between layers of breathable membranes with stainless steel threaded through to provide full circulation for the heat. All of the electrical components of the thermoelectric glove will be wired back to a circuit board, on which an Arduino microcontroller will wirelessly monitor the performance of the heating system. The finished product will have numerous applications in commercial, medical, and industrial fields.
Sharon: I am a sophomore at Stuyvesant High School, and I am incredibly passionate about science and technology. I founded the Technology Students Association at my school, and I currently serve as the New York State Sergeant-at-Arms. I am working on coordinating a Metropolitan Regional Competition, as well as middle school mentorships to help younger kids gain an edge in technological literacy. I am also a She++ Scholar and an NCWIT Aspirations National Runner-up, as well as a member of Science Olympiad and the Urban Barcode Project, where we are conducting research on algal bodies around the five boroughs of New York. Apart from the sciences, I love music, and have sang in the MEANYC Honors Choir and in Avery Fischer Hall. I am very excited to begin my project with the MIT THINK team, and I hope that my endeavors will have a great impact on the greater community!
THINK 2015 Finalists
Automated Illustration of Text to Improve Semantic Comprehension
Suvir Mirchandani and Konrad Urban, Grades 10 & 11, Fox Chapel Area High School, Pittsburgh, PA
Over a million Americans suffer from aphasia, a disorder which severely limits language comprehension. Medical professionals suggest that individuals with aphasia have a greater understanding of pictures than of the written or spoken word. We propose a communication system that automatically converts text to images to augment lingual communication. Prior systems are limited to highly constrained input strings and predefined output templates. To incorporate a variety of input strings, we will train a 2D human model to illustrate human action verbs with a dataset of human actions annotated with their physical attributes. We have developed an image processing algorithm that finds simplified images of concrete nouns, and will use a graph-theoretic approach to translate abstract nouns into representative concrete nouns. To generically lay out image components, our system will learn spatial relationships from real-world images. We will conduct human tests of the system's efficacy in communicating text using images.
Suvir: I am passionate about low-cost technological solutions that improve our quality of life. Besides this THINK project, I've worked on a "social robot" designed to help the elderly cope with isolation or depression. I have also developed a multimodal web browser for motor-impaired users for which I received the Web Innovator Award at the 2014 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. I believe strongly in environmental sustainability, and I was featured in Science magazine last year for research I conducted which showed that switching typefaces can save a significant amount of ink and toner. Outside the science world, I'm an avid student of piano, and I've performed three times at Carnegie Hall in New York City as a winner in the World Piano Competition. In my free time, I enjoy cricket, writing, and photography.
Konrad: From a young age, I've loved solving problems. In elementary school, I designed a light system to ensure kids did not forget their books in their lockers. Engineering, and later, computer science, have greatly influenced my future: I participated in my first robotics competition in middle school, started a FIRST Tech Challenge team called Fourth River Robotics in high school, and coauthored a paper on multi-robot path planning in a robotics lab at CMU before my Junior year. In ninth grade and tenth grade, I was part of a team that won first place in the state in the TEAMS competition and qualified for the national competition. I love to share my knowledge with others: I founded a series of robotics classes called RoboClass for middle school students. Beyond technical fields, I enjoy running cross country, playing violin, debate, and reading pretty much anything.
Creating a Dual Photocatalytic Air Purifier and Hydrogen Fuel Source for Indoor and Outdoor Use
Lauren Kim, Grade 11, Woodbridge High School, Irvine, CA
Air pollution is the world's largest single environmental health risk, and an increasing dependency on fossil fuels brings worries about the sustainability of our future. The need for renewable energy sources is more important than ever and photocatalysis has the potential to tackle both these problems while being low-cost and environmentally-friendly. Only needing sunlight, water, and a catalyst, photocatalysis can split water to produce hydrogen gas that can be used in a fuel cell and can oxidize harmful air pollutants into harmless substances. Ultimate goals for this project is to create a dual photocatalytic air purifier and hydrogen fuel source that is affordable, can be used in a variety of environments, and produce enough energy to pay off the initial cost of the device. The successful completion of this device will produce a renewable source of energy while simultaneously destroying 95% of pollutants in the air.
Lauren: I am currently a junior at Woodbridge High School in Irvine, CA. I have a great interest in sustainable energy and finding ways to save our environment. I truly believe the sustainability of our energy sources is key to our continued survival on earth and it would mean the world to me if I can help other people through my research. I have conducted research on wave energy, wind turbines, and now focus on photocatalytic air purification and water splitting. I am also conducting research with the SCAS RTP program. I have been a student researcher at UCI since 2013 and I am actively involved in Science Fair, Science Olympiad, and Student Government. Additionally, I run for my school's track team, enjoy playing the piano, and love to read books. Being part of the MIT THINK program is an honor and I am so excited to be a part of this.
Proposal for Detecting Bruxism with an EEG Device
Brian Singer, Grade 11, Byram Hills High School, Armonk, NY
My intent is to develop a proof of concept for a device that identifies and treats bruxism. Bruxism is a disorder in which a patient excessively grinds or clenches his teeth. Bruxism symptoms include tooth wear, headaches, back pain, and neck pain. The device will detect Bruxism using electroencephalograms (EEG). I plan to use the EEG signals as input to a non-invasive brain-computer interface for early detection of bruxism — even before the jaw muscles fully contract. The current available bruxism detection or symptom alleviation devices are intrusive. I plan on developing an algorithm to detect bruxism using a minimal number of electrodes. Next I will test a prototype device on sufferers of bruxism to gauge effectiveness and obtain qualitative user feedback. Minimizing the number of electrodes will enable the design of a miniaturized, commercially viable device that is both comfortable to wear and unobtrusive.
Brian: I am currently a junior at Byram Hills High School in Armonk, NY. I have a strong interest in computer programming and I have taught myself multiple computer languages. I program computers and microcontrollers. I have recently done some projects in web development using Node.js. I am a TA for AP Computer Science at Byram Hills High School and I also teach a programming class once a week. I enjoy physics and science research. I am a sprinter on my high school track team and I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee on the weekends. I enjoy hiking and last summer I graduated from NOLS outdoor leadership school.

Foolproof pet selection guide
A family pet can hugely enrich your life. In fact research has shown that pet owners are healthier and happier than those of us without furry family members. But before you rush to the pet store with visions of your kids tossing a frisbee to a long-haired Labradoodle, read our complete guide to picking the purrfect pet first.
More than a mere animal
Today's dog house is more likely to be a suburban mansion, with Rover asleep on his owners' bed, than a wooden hut in the corner of the backyard. Pets are like family members, as loved as the kids and a lifelong commitment. So before you wander down the 'what pet to choose path' ask yourself these basic questions to check if you're family is pet-ready:
- Who's going to look after it? - be realistic about this one, a young child probably won't fulfil his pet care duties to SPCA standards!
- Can we make sure it gets regular exercise?
- What will happen to it when we go away?
- How many hours in the day will it be left alone?
- Do we have a big enough backyard for it? Do we need fencing?
- Can we afford a pet? - factor in vet and vaccine costs on top of the weekly pet food bill.
Woof, woof or meow?
Dogs and cats are still the most popular family pet and it is possible to choose a breed that will fit in with your family's lifestyle, suit your backyard size and the level of maintenance you're prepared to outlay. But with so many breeds and cross-breeds to choose from, trying to work out which Fido or Silvester will best suit your family can be a headache.
Visit Selectapet to make this step easy-peasy. Simply answer a few questions and bingo, they'll give you a list of recommended breeds that are just right for you!
Fur, feathers or scales?
If you're thinking beyond a cat or dog, your pet choices are endless and include fish, birds, reptiles, small mammals, rodents and even insects. These alternate pet choices can really work in with your lifestyle and home, especially if you don't have a backyard! But don't be fooled into thinking they're necessarily low maintenance - even a goldfish (that can't be taken on holidays with you) needs regular water changes and feeding can be more work than a pedigree Persian cat!
Ask the pet store salesperson all about the level of up-keep required before giving in to your child's wish for a pet mouse. Also check out Kidspot's Kid-friendly pets article to get the lowdown on the most popular pet choices for kids.
Hair raising
While long haired dogs and cats are like supermodels of the animal world, they require regular grooming either by you or a professional groomer. So before you sign up for a silky Shih Tzu ask yourself if you're prepared to be its personal hairdresser.
Are you ready to be a new mum again?
Baby animals are almost as cute as newborn bubs and raising a dog from a pup is a wonderful experience. But just like human babies, animal bubs require lot of care - think potty training your toddler all over again! If you're not up for the extra effort of raising a baby, consider choosing a grownup dog or cat as a pet. Animal shelters like the SPCA can match you with kid-friendly orphans.
If you have an allergy-prone child, or an asthmatic in the family, you'll need to think long and hard about the type of pet that's not going to turn your household into sneeze city. Pet fur, saliva and skin flakes can set off a number of allergic reactions and while there are some hairless breeds of dogs and cats (think Mr Bigglesworth in Austin Powers and you'll get the idea!), these are still not entirely hyper-allergic. Chat to a vet about the best pet choice for your allergic family and read Kidspot's Keeping Healthy with Pets article.
Pets and kids
Owning a pet can teach your child responsibility and give her a special and unique companion that simply doesn't compare to human friendships. Unfortunately though, some dogs and cats don't always live well with your tot, especially if she thinks it's funny to pull Fido's ears and tail on a daily basis. Before you invest in a pet, read all about pet dangers and maybe wait a few years until she's passed the tale-tugging phase!
Why Fido can enrich your family's life
Research has found pet owners are a notch above those of us with non-furry friends in the happiness stakes:
- 83% women say their animals are one of their greatest sources of happiness according to the Boston Consultancy Group.
- A Deakin University study found kids aged 5 to 12 years were in better shape and less likely to be obese if they had a dog, even if they did not walk it regularly.
- According to a survey by the Australian Council of Animals 81% of owners say they never feel alone when they are with their pet.
- According to a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia, pet owners showed lower levels of risk factors for heart disease, including lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol, than non pet owners

Will '95 Roadmaster parts mate to Scout 2 steer box?
I'm considering using a Scout 2 steering box on my 37 Roadmaster.
Primary reasons are they bolt to the outside of the frame and have a forward facing pitman arm.
I would like to mate the parts from a my donor car (95 roadmaster that has a Saginaw model 800 gear box) to the scout 2 gearbox..
I found a website that says many saginaw pitman arms are interchangeable:
Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum - Powered by vBulletin
1) Does anyone know if the pitman arm from a model 800 gearbox will fit the Scout 2 gearbox?
2) I can buy a scout 2 gearbox with 3/4 or 13/16 input shaft. Does anyone know what the input shaft on the model 800 gearbox is?
A rod builder on a different website instructed me that the Scout 2 gear box is normally mounted in front of the axle with pitman arm facing forward. If I use behind the axle then car would turn wrong direction. I may be able to turn the pitman arm 180 degrees but I think it may be difficult to to fit the Scout 2 gearbox behind the control arms with the Pitman mounted rearward. A different possibility may be a 4runner ifs gearbox. Standard mount is in front of axle with a rearward pitman arm (see picture). If I mount behind axle for rear steer & can turn pitman arm 180 degrees then should give me the result I want.
1) Does anyone know if a 4runner ifs Pitman arm can be mounted in forward position?
2) Prefer to use Saginaw. Does anyone know of a Saginaw steer box that mounts on outside of frame and would operate in this manner?
What steering system are you using? Assuming this is a later model center link style system, you do realize that the idler arm needs to match the steering box, right?
Thanks for your help. The 1973-1987 GM full size pickups steer box will not work for me becasue plan on keeping rear steer due to the geometry of the frame.
I'm converting my 37 Roadmaster ifs to ball joints and disk brakes similar to the wiki:
The difference is that I'm using the spindles and brakes from a donor car which is a '95 Roadmaster. The spindles will be swapped left to right to maintain the '37 rear steer. The ackerman angle aligns well with this swap.
This change means I need to handle power steering differently than the second part of the instructions found at:
The steer arms on the 95 Roadmaster spindles are too long to allow rack & pinion unless I go with a very expensive after market r&p.
I plan on use a center link with a steer box mounted on the outside of the frame because the frame is very narrow at the front axle.
The idler arm length willl match to the pitman arm length.
The chevy truck box will work rear steer by moving the pitman arm 180 degrees on the shaft. It is likely the same box used on the Scout.The pitman arm on a Saginaw box can be installed every 90 degrees, as there are 4 blind splines 90 degrees apart.
13/16" shaft was generally used until 1978, after that the shaft was reduced to 3/4".
As far as I know all the 800 boxes have the same pitman shaft spline, except the 4x4 boxes in 73 to 87 trucks.
steering gears
be aware that different internals were used in the same castings, make some rear steer and others front steer. When I worked at Ford, they shipped several pallets of Mercury steering gears to the Truck factory, every thing bolted up. The guy at the end of the assembly line had to make a sharp right turn to go the the chassis dyno for first test, He turned the wheel right and gunned the gas, the truck went left and almost wiped out the seat cushion builders. Some chrysler cars and dodge trucks also shared the same castings, and have opposite internals.
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks everyone for your help. The chevy truck gearbox may be a possibility. My only concern is that the input shaft of the gearbox may be offset too far the outside and down to connect the steering column. I'll lay it out and see if I can connect it to the steer column with a couple of universal joints and the max of 30 degrees. The Scout 2 gearbox has that the input shaft is above and over with the frame, but as mentioned earlier it will steer backwards with the pitman arm forward facing.

Any holster made for a J frame Smith or a Ruger SP 101 should work OK.
I have had for several years, maybe 40, a 2 1/2", 5-shot, Security Industries, 357 Magnum. I am wanting to purchase a paddle holster, with some amount of retention, as I now ride ride at times with different law-enforcement departments. The frame is stamped in two places with M397. Does anyone know of a holster manufacturer, that might be able to supple a holster for it?
Added Info thus far:
I did find the original box and found out that the M397 is the serial number. The model number is a 2S357. It also appears that they only manufactured firearms for 3 years, ie; 1975, 1976 and 1977. Their name and address were:

Hey guys,
This belongs in the bt3beta parent topic, but for some reason I didn't have privileges to post there? I figured Newbie Area was the close second.
So here's my issue:
I downloaded the USB version of the BT3 beta. I ran the bootinst.bat on my Vista machine. The installation was successful, and everything worked without problems. It said the device was now bootable.
However, I have been unable to select it as a boot device (I tested it on 3 machines). No luck on my Intel Macbook, an XP machine, or my Vista machine. I tried wiping the drive and doing it all over again, to no avail.
I've searched the forums, read the wikis, and tried not to be stupid about this (I hate wasting people's time!). Maybe I missed something? Sorry if this is a stupid question...I did put it a substantial amount of research!

Groups announce lawsuit seeking same-sex marriage in NM
Groups including the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and Equality New Mexico announced a lawsuit in state court to rule that same-sex marriage is legal in New Mexico.
It is a push that has been long in the making, according to ACLU of New Mexico Executive Director Peter Simonson.
"This is an initiative that we have been working on for awhile now," Simonson said. "And it finally came tor fruition."
In a press conference announcing the lawsuit, ACLU of New Mexico Legal Director Laura Schauer Ives said it was their opinion that same-sex marriage was allowed in New Mexico already because of the state constitution.
"Our plaintiffs believe marriage is worth fighting for and so do we," Schauer Ives said.
The two couples who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit also attended the press conference.
Miriam Rand and Ona Porter of Albuquerque were one couple. The other couple was Rose Griego and Kim Kiel of Santa Fe.
"Without the legal ties of marriage it would have been easy for either of us to cut and run," Porter said of her more-than 25-year relationship with Porter. "But we didn't."
Kiel said they are as devoted as any other couples.
"We have survived the challenges of raising teenagers and cried when we dropped them off at college," Kiel said.
The two couples went into the Bernalillo County clerk's office this morning seeking a marriage license.
They were denied — but they had expected to be denied. Porter said that they were very nice in denying them, and Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver invited them into her office.
Porter said Toulouse Oliver said if she could, she would have granted them the licenses.
Those looking for a quick resolution will be disappointed, however.
Schauer Ives said she expected the legal process to take two to three years before it can work itself out. In that time, barring a significant change from the state legislature, same-sex marriage would still not be able to happen in New Mexico.
The effort was not tied to either the Santa Fe city officials saying they believe same-sex marriage is legal in New Mexico or State Rep. Bill McCamley asking Attorney General Gary King for an opinion on same-sex marriage.
When asked why they did not wait for the Attorney General's office to issue an opinion, Simonson said that the AG's opinion does not settle law in the state — an AG's opinion is still just a legal opinion.
In addition to ACLU of New Mexico, the national American Civil Liberties Union, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the Albuquerque lawfirm Sutin, Thayer & Brown, APC, and three local attorneys are representing the two couples in the lawsuit.
Here is the lawsuit.

BRIEF-Marin Software appoints Brad Kinnish to chief financial officer
* Marin Software appoints Brad Kinnish to chief financial officer
* China proposes sweeping overhaul of world monetary system
* IMF's special drawing right could replace dollar over time
* Advantage would be greater stability, fewer crises
(Adds comment, details, background)
By Alan Wheatley, China Economics Editor
BEIJING, March 23 China on Monday proposed a sweeping overhaul of the global monetary system, outlining how the dollar could eventually be replaced as the world's main reserve currency by the IMF's Special Drawing Right.
The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the International Monetary Fund in 1969 that has the potential to act as a super-sovereign reserve currency, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, said in remarks published on the central bank's website, www.pbc.gov.cn.
"The role of the SDR has not been put into full play due to limitations on its allocation and the scope of its uses. However, it serves as the light in the tunnel for the reform of the international monetary system," he said.
Zhou diplomatically did not refer explicitly to the dollar.
But his speech, issued exceptionally in English as well as Chinese, spells out Beijing's dissatisfaction with the primacy of the U.S. currency, which Zhou says has led to increasingly frequent global financial crises since the collapse in 1971 of the Bretton Woods system of fixed but adjustable exchange rates.
"The price is becoming increasingly high, not only for the users, but also for the issuers of the reserve currencies. Although crisis may not necessarily be an intended result of the issuing authorities, it is an inevitable outcome of the institutional flaws," Zhou said.
Jim O'Neill, chief economist at Goldman Sachs in London, said the dollar-based system of floating exchange rates had demonstrated great flexibility down the years.
"But over time, as the world is taken off the steroids of the overleveraged U.S. consumer, you can't have the same dollar dependence as we have had. But who can provide it? And the answer is, if it functioned properly, maybe the SDR could have a much bigger role," O'Neill said.
A super-sovereign reserve currency would not only eliminate the risks inherent in fiat currencies such as the dollar -- which are backed only by the credit of the issuing country, not by gold or silver -- but would also make it possible to manage global liquidity, Zhou argued.
"When a country's currency is no longer used as the yardstick for global trade and as the benchmark for other currencies, the exchange rate policy of the country would be far more effective in adjusting economic imbalances. This will significantly reduce the risks of a future crisis and enhance crisis management capability." he said.
Reform of the international monetary system is likely to take a back seat to the more urgent task of economic and financial stabilisation when leaders of the Group of 20 developed and emerging economies meet in London on April 2.
But Zhou's speech shows that the issue is a pressing one for China, whose top officials regularly bemoan the volatility of the dollar and what they see as U.S. economic mismanagement.
Creating a new, widely accepted reserve currency may take a long time, Zhou acknowledged. It would be a "bold initiative that requires extraordinary political vision and courage".
Allocating more SDRs would give the IMF more resources and help it address imbalances in power within the fund, where big emerging economies like China muster a fraction of the votes cast by Europe and by the United States, which wields a veto.
As well as a further allocation of SDRs, Zhou proposed a series of steps to broaden the unit's use so it can evolve into a reserve currency:
-- Set up a settlement system with other currencies so there SDR can be widely accepted in global trade and financial transactions. Currently, the SDR is largely an artificial unit used by governments and international institutions.
-- Actively promote the use of the SDR in trade, commodities pricing, investment and corporate bookkeeping.
-- Create financial assets denominated in SDRs to increase its appeal. The introduction of SDR-denominated securities, which is being studied by the IMF, would be a good start, Zhou said.
-- Expand the basket of currencies forming the basis for valuing the SDR to include currencies of all major economies.
If the SDR were backed by real assets, such as a reserve pool entrusted to the IMF, confidence in its value would rise and destabilising currency speculation would be deterred, Zhou said. (Reporting by Alan Wheatley; Editing by Toby Chopra)

1:20 scale sectional model of commercial building.
This is the third educational model we've made for the University of South Wales. As with the previous two projects in our Latest Projects section this is another example of a satisfied customer coming back to us with a new order. Aimed at students in the construction sector, the purpose of this model was to illustrate the major elements that make up a typical commercial office building, including foundations, steel work, cladding components and final external finishes. As you can see from the images this was a very technically complex project but the client knew from previous models we'd produced for him that we had the skill and understanding to deliver an extremely accurate, perfectly detailed demonstration model.
Second Industrial Model for ChickMaster UK.
As with the previous model featured in our Latest Projects section this is another example where a company has come back to us for a second model after being really pleased with the first project we completed for them. This is also a similar type of industrial model but it's at a smaller scale (1:20 rather than 1:8) and you'll notice that the detail is slightly more simplified. This looks ok at the smaller scale and was sufficient for the client's requirements; he didn't need to show every nut and bolt (although we could have done if he'd needed it).
Two 1:400 scale models of parcel handling depot
UK Mail ordered two identical site models of their huge new facility at Ryton because they needed an overview model at either end of the site, one in the offices and one in the main warehouse building. Constructing two models at the same time enabled us to offer them a significant saving on the second unit. 1:400 scale is a good option for a site model because it keeps the base size down but still allows us to show a recognisable level of detail. We were even able to show a good representation of the parcel handling conveyors through the cut-away roof (click on the inset pic above to see the detail).
Life size model of UK satellite
We've made several models of satellites over the last few years including the Gaia Spacecraft and UKube Satellite (Recent Projects June 2013 and March 2013 respectively) and, as often happens, this model was commissioned due to a referral from one of the previous clients. These models are mostly used for educational or promotional purposes in the UK but this particular example had to be shipped directly to Mexico for a major presentation. With this in mind we made the model with a detachable stand, push-fit aerials, and fold up solar panels so that the whole thing could flat-pack for shipping.
Realistically detailed model creates a splash at show
The client for this project wanted a model that would be an eye catching centrepiece on their stand at several trade shows throughout the coming year. The company produces a wide range of water tanks for markets all over the world and they wanted the model to illustrate several technical details about their products, both inside and outside. For this reason we made the models as half tanks so the inside could be viewed as well as the exterior. If you click on the photos to enlarge them you'll see the high level of detail we've been able to show at this scale. We also provided a purpose-built aluminium framed flight case to protect it during shipping.

Friday News Roundup: Cold, Youth, and Nan in the news
January 8, 2010
Homelessness has been in the headlines this week as falling temperatures cause rising concern for those living on the streets. Deaths from exposure and maxed out cold weather shelters show that the need for real, permanent solutions is dire. Instead of rushing around each winter to respond to emergencies, let's work on long-term, year-round strategies.
Speaking of permanent solutions, be sure to check out this week's post by Alliance president Nan Roman on Inforumusa: The Last Ten Years: Looking Back at Ten Year Plans.
Check out this dialogue between service providers in the Baltimore Sun: At issue was the city's removal of a homeless encampment under the Jones Expressway. Kevin Lindamood and Jeff Singer of Healthcare for the Homeless argue that removing the homeless from public spaces is a flawed approach, while the Diane Glauber of Baltimore Homeless Services says the move was in the interest of safety. They do seem to agree on one point: the solution is access to permanent supportive housing for all.
Both the Examiner and Huffington Post have discussed homeless youth recently. According to our 2007 data, up to 1.65 million children experience homelessness in the U.S., and that number may be on the rise. Minnestota Public Radio's piece on the topic is some pretty powerful stuff and so are these first hand accounts from kids themselves from the Tacoma Rescue Mission in Washington State.

Former FARC captive recalls Colombia jungle horror
By Helen Murphy
BOGOTA (Reuters) - When the shooting started, police sergeant Luis Erazo scrambled into jungle canopy, the only escape from death as his Colombian guerrilla captors hurled grenades at him.
Four fellow hostages were shot dead by the FARC.
Erazo, held prisoner by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia for almost 12 years, was the only survivor when the FARC ordered the execution of captives as soldiers approached their hide-out during a weekend operation.
Three captors pursued Erazo, shooting and grazing him as he fled into the undergrowth.
"I heard the shots about 20, 30 meters from me and I thought, 'What's this, brother?'" Erazo told local radio.
"I felt the impact on my face and neck, the shots were at me, the only thing I could do was run."
In the southern jungles of Caqueta, the bodies of four members of Colombia's armed forces were found alongside their metal chains, three with bullets in their heads and a fourth shot in the back.
They had been held hostage by the drug-funded group for as long as 14 years, used as bargaining chips against the government. Continued...

Steelcase: 100 Years – A Prezi for Future Generations
Steelcase is one of our repeat clients, and one we have a lot of respect for. The company started out 100 years ago specializing in file cabinets and safes, and has since gone through so many evolutions that parts of it are unrecognizable from its humble beginnings. Where Steelcase and Sunni Brown overlap involves innovation, design thinking, and a deep interest in workspaces and how they impact collaboration. Steelcase recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary (we here are going on six – ha!) and to celebrate that milestone, they asked "100 Minds" to share a dream we have for the future. To contribute some kind of creative output that will show where we hope the future will go if we put our minds to it. So with that request, I designed a Prezi that showcases MY hopes for the curriculum of the future. Above is a summary infographic showing the high level, but CLICK THROUGH TO DIVE IN. These are the topics I wanted to learn in school but ultimately began to teach myself in life. So here's to future generations, that those who come before you strive to serve you better each day.
