The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the world's foremost authority on the tricky subject of climate science, and its latest report paints a very bleak picture. This release is the second of a four-part series aimed at helping policymakers understand the various risks associated with climate change. The first edition, released last fall, bumped up the probability that humans are the main cause of recent warming to 95 percent, a reflection of the coalescing consensus among climate scientists of our culpability. Now, the IPCC is moving on from causes to effects, listing the various dangers we could face in the warmer years ahead: droughts and floods, heat waves and abnormally cold weather, rising sea levels, and lower crop yields. In short, very scary stuff.
But, as so often seems to be the case with these reports, there's a fly in the ointment. A leading climate researcher, concerned that the report's summary overstated the hazards, pulled out of the report just days before its release. The FT reports:
[Professor Richard Tol of the University of Sussex] revealed last week that he had asked for his name to be removed from the study's summary—the most widely read section of the IPCC report—because he believed it was too "alarmist" and included "silly" statements about the vulnerability of people in war zones to climate change. […]
An early draft of the summary last week, partly drawn from Prof Tol's chapter, had said that if global temperatures rose 2.5 degrees Centigrade, it could lead to losses of 0.2-2 per cent of world gross domestic product. Some economists believe that warming would actually have a far greater impact and the final summary reflects this uncertainty more fully.
In response, Professor Chris Field, the co-chair of the group that published the report, had this to say: "Richard Tol is a wonderful scientist but he's not at the centre of the thinking. He's kind of out on the fringe." The message here is clear: If you stray from the herd, prepare to be cleaved off.
This is more than just quibbling over tenths of degrees. As Tol describes it, the last-minute editorializing in this report is part of a broader battle over the role that growth and development has to play in mitigating and adapting to climate change: "I really liked the first draft of the summary for policy makers because it had development at its core…Many impacts of climate change are really symptoms of underdevelopment and poor management. That was the 'consensus' among authors then, and I don't think anyone has changed his mind. Chris Field has led the message away from that, which I think is a mistake."
Growth and sustainability aren't, by nature (excuse the pun), mutually exclusive. In fact, green schemes work best when the two goals are pursued together, if only because the growth imperative is already so ingrained in the global economy. In that context, Tol's point about the possible environmental benefits development entails is well taken. But this spat between scientists reminds us that the IPCC is a group of people. Scientists have egos, same as anyone else, and trying to distill a consensus viewpoint from a collection of them is bound to involve some kind of political wrangling. We understand climate change at its most basic level, but when you start adding politics, you open yourself up to more than just margins of error.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 16.1828 Tuesday, 8 November 2005
Date: Monday, 7 Nov 2005 15:31:45 -0500
Subject: Folger Spring Conference: Further Transactions of the Book
Further Transactions of the Book
A Spring Conference at the Folger Shakespeare Library organized by
Anthony Grafton (Princeton University) and Ann Blair (Harvard
University), with Kathleen Lynch (The Folger Institute).
In recent decades, localized studies of the histories of the book have
proliferated and matured. Attention to the effects of the transmission
of knowledge in different media has consequently influenced work in many
scholarly fields. This weekend conference carries forward the
examinations of the 2001 Folger conference "Transactions of the Book."
With sponsorship from The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and the
Center for the Book at the Library of Congress, it offers a close focus
on the Continental book trades as well as on the impact of the printed
book on transnational or international knowledge communities. As was its
predecessor, this conference is an international gathering of social and
intellectual historians, literary critics, bibliographers, and others.
By extending the scope of investigation beyond the widely recognized
impact of the printing press, the conference encompasses the work of
influential experts and new perspectives alike to assess current trends
in light of the evidence of carefully historicized local studies.
Panelists include: Blaise Aguera y Arcas (Princeton), Warren Boutcher
(Queen Mary University of London), Jorge Ca

One of the biggest hassles when it comes to reinstalling Windows is having to back up and restore data and certain settings each time, because there's always a danger you'll be caught short and miss something, which will never be seen again.
Our recommended – but most complicated – procedure for reinstalling Windows therefore involves splitting off your documents, photographs and other files from Windows by storing them on a separate partition or hard drive.
An increasing number of computers come with the hard drive already split into two partitions, but if you only have a single hard drive visible in Windows you'll need to divide it in two by a process called partitioning.
Partitioning simply consists of a virtual marker being placed somewhere on the drive – on one side it's treated like one virtual disk, on the other, it's another disk.
Keep things separate
Storing your files on the second 'data' partition rather than on the same partition as the operating system insulates them from problems with Windows. Then if Windows goes belly up, you can format your Windows partition and reinstall without worrying about your data, which is kept safe on the data partition.
Note that partitioning your drive isn't a substitute for backing up – you still need to protect your data by storing a separate copy elsewhere, either on a backup drive or online.
Once your hard drive is partitioned, you need to move all your files to your newly created data drive – and although many manufacturers provide a second partition, they often continue to store your data on the same partition as Windows by default, so even if your drive came ready-partitioned, if there's no trace of your data on the D drive, read on.
Transferring your files to your newly created data partition is a pretty simple process. Start by creating a suitably named folder, such as your name or 'My Files' on the new drive. Next, click Start and select your username to open your personal user folder.
Assuming all your key files and settings are stored in these folders, just drag each one across to the folder you've just created on your data drive, where they'll be duplicated. It's possible to store other files and settings here on your new data partition too, including your all-important email messages. If you're running Outlook Express (Windows XP), Windows Mail (Windows Vista) or Windows Live Mail, the process is practically identical.
People running Outlook Express and Windows Mail should choose the Tools > Options > Maintenance tab; Windows Live Mail users should click on the menu button and choose the Options > Mail > Advanced tab, and then click Maintenance.
Next, select Store Folder, click on Change and then browse to and select a suitable folder – such as Email – inside the folder you created earlier. Follow the prompts to move your email messages across, and verify that the messages have moved after you restarted your email program by checking the contents of the Email folder on your data partition, which should no longer be empty.
You should also be able to move your email folders in other email applications too – just check the program's website for details on how to go about moving its data folders to a new location.
Reinstall Windows
Once your data and key settings have been moved to the data partition (usually the D drive), we'd still recommend taking a fail-safe drive image of your Windows partition to ensure no files are lost. You can then reinstall Windows proper following the guide outlined above.
After reinstalling Windows, your drivers and any outstanding updates, the next step is to reinstall your email program if necessary, set it up and repeat the procedure you followed earlier to point it towards the Email folder on your data partition, at which point you should have access to all your email messages again.
Next, open your User folder. People running Windows XP should now right-click on My Documents and select Properties; Windows Vista and Windows 7 users should right-click on Documents and select Properties > Location tab. Click the Move button and browse to your newly created partition or data drive. When prompted, click Yes to transfer your data to this new drive.
Now click OK and double-click on the Documents folder – you should see all the files that you've transferred to the data partition appear, indicating the process has been successful. Windows 7 and Windows Vista users should now repeat the process for other folders, including Pictures, Music and Videos.
With these changes in place, take a drive image of your finished set-up – when you next want to reinstall Windows from scratch, simply restore this drive image instead. It'll speed up the reinstallation process considerably – once that's done, all you have to do is download any Windows and driver updates released since the drive image was taken – plus it will ensure you never have to worry about taking a fresh backup of your data or key settings prior to reinstalling Windows again.

All that stuff about a cab driver with a name tattooed on his neck? Well, Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa), for one, isn't convinced, and will be seen tonight waiting for news from the police regarding her statement. But she isn't left hanging around for long: by the end of this evening's episode, the investigating officers will have swooped in and put the jittery sous-chef under arrest. As Jake is led away in handcuffs while protesting his innocence, a furious Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and Peter (Ben Hardy) are held back by Phil (Steve McFadden) and Mick (Danny Dyer).

College Laptop?
- 8 Replies
So tech people, what would be a good laptop to suggest? I will need good graphics, and speedy video loading, and wireless, webcam would be a plus but its not a necessity (I don't believe). Preferably less than $600. Thanks :-)
We just have a no Dell policy in our house. They tend to be low quality. We buy HP laptops. Sorry I can't help more.
i'd invest in an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard
I'm a student. I have been using a basic, cheapo Dell for years. It works just fine for taking notes and typing papers.
All new laptops are wireless and video loading depends on the speed of your internet. At my school the internet is crappy, but videos load fast enough. Unless you are a graphics design or CS major I imagine you don't need that fancy of a graphics card... (unless you are just wanting the better graphic card for gaming :P)
A shiny new laptop should be able to do whatever you need just fine. I'd aim for a $500 model so you have money left to buy software like Microsoft Office.

This begins with the sound of an unusually fiercely rocking blues band, diving in, driving, sounding nothing like they were "Going Down", even as the ensemble sing that title phrase through the final bars. The fire would have been envied by those young Englishmen who produced much that sort of thing (the earliest Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton). "White Lightnin'" is in a James Brown vein without brass. The intro on "Wild Side" has suggestions of early Muddy Waters, with something between a gong and a drum tolling in accompaniment, and mandolining guitar a la Buddy Guy fanclub. "Every Grain of Sand" is nearer Hendrix, "Lay the Hooch" has good ole rock'n'roll piano, and the East Coast African-American's raucous melancholy is old Stones, as is "You Got to Go Down", with its two apparently acoustic guitars (the blurb mentions Gary Davis). The more thoughtful aspect of that performance is missing elsewhere on this set. "Train Kept A-Rollin'" also echoes older blues, guitars acoustic, though the vocal does rather charge ahead.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
The Old Firehouse Art Center in Longmont really knows how to throw an artwalk. The community celebration, held along the town's main drag, includes a slew of art openings, live music, artist and vendor booths, dancing, and art workshops for kids. There's the inevitable street food, of course -- hot dogs, lemonade, kettle corn and more. But what really makes Artwalk Longmont a special event are the extras: Last year, for instance, brought Geese Galore, the town's amped up version of CowParade. They kicked off the program using nineteen oversized, artist-decorated, fiberglass fowl rather than the traditional bovine beauties. And while no festival is complete without a little brawling in the streets, the Artwalk's was just a bit more civilized, with the Longmont Theater Company staging exciting Shakespearean swordfights for everyone's entertainment. Touché!
God-Shaped Hole, Tiffanie Debartolo's tale of star-crossed love - born in the classified ads, played out beneath the artificial glow of Los Angeles life -- has all of the elements of pure romantic noir: The lead character, Trixie, has a love affair with the dreamy and intense Jacob, a writer for an alternative weekly newspaper, that is burning, tumultuous and, ultimately, tragic. (Let's just say someone drowns in the Pacific, leaving the other for the great wave in the sky.) But the debut novel from DeBartolo, who also penned the screenplay for the Jennifer Aniston/Ione Sky vehicle Dreams of an Insomniac, is funny, bold, quasi-philosophical and a hell of a lot smarter than your standard grocery-store paperback fare. Currently splitting time between Boulder and the Big Apple, DeBartolo is reportedly at work on her second book; we can only hope it's as divine as her first.
Yeah, we know Vinyl is no more: The great blizzard of 2003 tore the roof off the place, literally, while completely demolishing Floyd's Barbershop next door. But owner Regas Christou has vowed to rebuild, and we hope he hops to. Although Vinyl lacked the flash of the high-profile Church right around the corner, among music aficionados and the die-hard dance set, it ranked a notch higher on the cool scale. The ambience was fresher, the DJs were hipper, and the crowd was usually down for something more adventurous than the latest J.Lo remix. Internationally known spinners as well as local residents took to the tables in the multi-room space. And if you were looking to update your encyclopedia of dance moves, Vinyl's patrons had your booty covered. A word to the reconstructionists: We think the place would look great with, say, a pitched ceiling.
When The Simpsons come on at William's Tavern, all activity stops. The eclectic jukebox (it's got everything from The Cramps to Hank Williams to Motown) clicks off and patrons hunkered at the bar and sitting in the church pews pay their respects in the House of Simpson. Regulars know to arrive early on Sundays, not for sassy bar mistress Anne May's tasty cocktails but for her (free) sloppy joes and other home-cooked treats.
The Starline Lounge has been dealing with the best kind of identity crises in the past year. While owner Curt Simms has slowly sallied forth with plans to open the former Denver Buffalo Company space as an upscale Mexican food restaurant called Cielo, the club portion has been cookin' for months. A few nights a week, the minimalist back bar fills with ever-evolving crowds who turn up for theme nights on a rotating calendar. Most of the time, "Brown Sugar" hip-hop events rule on Saturdays, while Friday was recently handed over to "Delicious," a woman-centric showcase for songwriters, bands and DJs. The place has an unsettled feel, like a shoe that needs some breaking in, but the dance floor is ample, the drinks are strong and the fan base is amorphous enough to stay interesting. The Starline may not be as polished as its Golden Triangle dance-club competitors, but it does the job just fine.
Don't wear a short skirt to Club Purple unless you're feeling flashy. The floor that separates the first and second levels is all glass, which means that ground-dwellers can get a good look at the stylish throngs dancing and drinking above. But even at right-side-up angles, the crowd is an eyeful: A be-seen spot among LoDo-ites, Club Purple attracts the beautiful people, who turn up for live DJs and that special feeling that comes with ordering bottle service. Enjoy the view.

Ed Funding Grant Changes Show Need for Long-Term Plan
PORTSMOUTH, NH - Last-minute adjustments to the State education grants underscore the critical need for a long-term, fair and financially sustainable funding formula, the Coalition Communities said in announcing seating is still available for Tuesday's Education Funding Forum featuring the four candidates for governor. Incumbent Gov. Craig Benson and his Republican challenger, Charles Tarbell of New Castle, and Democrats John Lynch of Hopkinton and Paul McEachern of Portsmouth will make brief presentations at the start of the Forum that begins at 7 p.m. at Portsmouth City Hall, to be followed by questions presented by moderator Roger Wood of Clear Channel Radio.
Mayor Evelyn Sirrell, leader of the 34-town Coalition, said seating is still available for the public to attend the 1 ˝-hour Forum and she urged voters to carefully examine the education funding plans and promises of each candidate.
"I hope all of the candidates for governor realize how desperately we need a long-term plan that gets education funding where it's truly needed," said Mayor Sirrell "How can any community responsibly plan when they have to wait until the last minute to be sure how much education grant money they will receive from the State?
"People should be outraged that some of the grants announced less than a week before distribution were different from the spreadsheets the Legislature voted on -- even though the legislative leadership and the Attorney General's office have been saying those totals are the law," she said.
"Towns shouldn't have to scramble at the last minute to adjust to new grant totals," she said. "I hope the candidates for governor can promise us this won't happen again. We should all listen carefully to what they say at the Forum."
The Mayor said the Coalition is working to fine-tune its targeted-aid proposal, which is modeled on successful programs in other states. New Hampshire's current plan, she noted, gives millions more to rich communities and less to the poorest, as well as eliminates extra funding for children who cost more to educate -- such as those receiving special education, those who don't speak English as a first language, or who attend high school.
She noted that a recent Becker Institute survey shows most NH voters prefer the concept of targeting aid to needy communities, rather than sending equal payments to every town. In addition, more than 60% of voters prefer an increase in the cigarette tax, rather than a hike in the statewide property tax, to provide necessary state aid to public schools.
Those attending the Forum are asked to be seated no later than 6:45 p.m. as the event will begin promptly at 7 p.m. It also will be broadcast live over the N.H. Public Radio network and the local Cable Channel 22, and be available as a "webcast" for anyone with access to the Internet.
Even though numerous seats have been reserved in advance for the Forum, the Coalition said the City Council Chamber will accommodate several hundred people and an overflow area is being set up in order that as many members of the public who wish to attend in person, may do so.
"We have tried to do everything possible to make sure the voters of New Hampshire have an opportunity to know where these candidates stand on education funding. This subject impacts every one of us as taxpayers and as citizens who believe every schoolchild deserves a quality education," the Mayor said.

Freida Pinto's Sunday AllSaints Shopping Spree
Getting in some relaxing retail therapy, Freida Pinto was seen shopping the day away at AllSaints in London, England on Sunday (September 23).
The "Slumdog Millionaire" actress opted for a casual look consisting of jeans, a white top and black boots as she made her way around the luxury UK retail spot.
The London shopping spree comes as Freida has been spending time in Europe as of late - as she was in Venice, Italy to attend a Jaeger-LeCoultre hosted gala dinner in celebration of The Rendez-Vous Collection earlier this month.
At the swanky soiree, Miss Pinto stunned in a black and gold, sari-inspired Alexander McQueen gown that showed off her toned torso while hitting up the red carpet with fellow actor Clive Owen.

Naked Bus Reveal Whale Design Bus in Support of Charity
Naked Bus Reveal Whale Design Bus in Support of Rescue Charity Project Jonah
Whale Watchers – Keep a look out for a special whale hitting the roads of New Zealand in May.
An exciting new whale will shortly be travelling the roads and highways of New Zealand.
The 'Whale Bus' marks the collaboration between low-cost bus operator Naked Bus and whale rescue charity Project Jonah.
Project Jonah has been saving marine mammals since 1974. Through dedicated training and education programmes, the charity provides emergency response for stranded whales and dolphins throughout New Zealand.
A competition was run through social media in late 2013 asking members of the public to submit artwork which would then be applied to the bus. "The winning design, by Ana Aceves from Nelson, was chosen as it best depicted what Project Jonah stands for – the rescue, action and protection of marine mammals" said Project Jonah's General Manager, Daren Grover.
Naked Bus is New Zealand's low-cost, long distance bus operator which launched in 2006 and now has a nationwide network reaching from Kerikeri to Invercargill. "This is only the start of Naked Bus and Project Jonah's relationship. In the coming months, Naked Bus will provide unsold seats to Project Jonah volunteers enabling them to travel to and from unfortunate strandings free of charge.
Whether this means taking volunteers from Auckland to Keri Keri or Dunedin to Invercargill, we want to steer one worry away so the focus can be on the marine mammals," said Hamish Nuttall, CEO of Naked Bus.
To celebrate the launch, the 'Whale Bus' will surface on the shore of Mission Bay (Selwyn Reserve) on Saturday, 17 May, at noon. Members of the public are invited to come along for an afternoon of giveaways (including free bus trips) and to 'christen' the Whale Bus.

Friday, March 14th
Game 2
Saturday, March 15th
Texas 6, Kansas 1
Box Score
Game 3
Sunday, March 16th
Kansas 7, Texas 2
Box Score
Texas started Big 12 play on Friday with a win, beating Kansas 8-6. The hero of the game for the Horns was Cameron Rupp. The freshman catcher knocked in five of the Horns' eight runs on three hits.
Austin Wood got the start for Texas, but Brandon Workman got the win. Wood left after two innings in which he had three runs scored against him. He was replaced by Workman, who gave up three runs of his own. But three runs in the bottom of the third and three runs in the bottom of the fifth gave the Longhorns the lead and made sure they held on for the win.
Game two was also a win for Texas and the pitchers got a chance to shine in this one. The Horns won the game 6-1 as Kenn Kasparek, Chance Ruffin and Stayon Thomas combined to give up only a single run on five hits and striking out 12 over nine innings.
Game three of the weekend series is Texas' only conference loss on the young season. The Horns had already taken the series, but Kansas got a measure of revenge, winning 7-2.
Heading into the 7th, the game was deadlocked at 2-2. But the Jayhawks put up four runs in the top half of the 7th and held on, escaping Austin with one win.
Texas travels to San Antonio on Monday for one game against UTSA at 6:00 p.m. and then returns to Austin for a Tuesday match-up against Texas State at 6:05 p.m.
The Longhorns' next conference series is in Lubbock against Texas Tech, starting on Thursday at 6:05 p.m.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.3055, or 76.60 U.S. cents * Loonie touches its weakest since Aug. 11 at C$1.3065 * Canadian bond prices mixed TORONTO, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened on Tuesday to a nearly three-week low against its U.S. counterpart, whose gains offset higher oil prices. The U.S. dollar rose against a basket of currencies as investors waited to see if Friday's U.S. jobs report would support expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon. Oil rose, supported by production suspensions in the U.S. Gulf due to an expected tropical storm and speculation that producers meeting in Algeria next month will act to prop up prices. U.S. crude was up 0.66 percent at $47.29 a barrel. Losses for the loonie came as Canada's current account deficit widened to a near-record C$19.86 billion ($15.28 billion) in the second quarter, data from Statistics Canada showed. At 9:44 a.m. EDT (1344 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.3055 to the greenback, or 76.60 U.S. cents, weaker than Monday's close of C$1.3023, or 76.79 U.S. cents. The currency's strongest level of the session was C$1.3009, while it touched its weakest since Aug. 11 at C$1.3065. Investor demand for gold and silver in the wake of Britain's vote to leave the European Union in late June helped push Canadian producer prices up by 0.2 percent in July, Statistics Canada said. Canadian government bond prices were mixed. The two-year was flat to yield 0.589 percent, and the benchmark 10-year dipped 3 Canadian cents to yield 1.03 percent. Canada's gross domestic product data for the second quarter is due for release on Wednesday. Economists expect a contraction at a 1.5 percent annualized pace as growth was shaken by wildfires in northern Alberta that disrupted oil production. GDP figures for June that are also set for release on Wednesday are expected to show growth picked up by 0.4 percent, which should bolster expectations that the economy will rebound in the third quarter.

No More Drunk-Texting For Tim McGraw, He Is 3 Years Sober
A few years back Tim McGraw caused a slight controversy when he revealed that he might temporarily retire from country music to become none other than a politician; Yes, Tim McGraw wanted to run for public office.
Fast forward to 2012 and McGraw is still singing but it's quite a different tune; that tune is sobriety. Now that McGraw no longer drinks he has no interest in political service. In fact, forty-five year old McGraw, a Democrat and Louisiana native, revealed to the Minneapolis Star Tribune that when he made those statements he was drinking and although patriotic has never had any political aspirations. Yet, he does not rule it out; but it would be once his children are adults.
Back to alcohol, three years ago McGraw gave up alcohol for good. McGraw's drinking and partying began to cause problems in his marriage with his equally famous wife and often his touring mate, Faith Hill. For years they had been having problems in their marriage due to his drinking and although they presented a united front they were living apart on their huge estate.
Tim eventually sought treatment for his alcohol use and has been sober since. He insists that he wanted to save his marriage and he wanted to be a good example to his three daughters.
Apparently drunk-texting played a huge part in his getting sober. Often he would call his wife, Faith, after or during partying. In fact, he would be clearly intoxicated, slurring his words, etc.
Therefore, he learned how to text, with his reasoning being that he would better be able to hide that he was intoxicated or had been drinking. However, eventually she was able recognize that he had been drinking even in his texts. So, there you have it: drunk-texting was what ended it all! All kidding aside getting sober has been a huge accomplishment for McGraw who has since shot to even greater heights in his career.
In addition to being a best-selling and award-winning artist, he has since added movie star to his resume. In fact, around the time that he starred in the Academy award-winning film, Blind Slide, he started his road of sobriety. Then he followed up with the controversial film Country Strong, which coincidently addressed alcoholism.
As mentioned above, Tim McGraw is three years sober. As well he is happily married and earlier this year embarked on a nationwide tour with none other than Kenny Chasey, his long-time friend, as well as Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and Jake Owen.

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 9/4/14
To make a memorable boxing event, of course the first step is to create a great match, but that is not the only factor that counts. Often the atmosphere at ringside plays a significant role in making an event unforgettable. Fan participation outside the ring can influence the fighters to reach new heights and sometimes even helps to sway the way the fight goes. When it comes to the Tyson Fury vs. Steve Cunningham heavyweight collision coming up on Saturday, April 20th, consider both areas well covered. The fight itself is likely to produce a real clash between the dangerous Irish import, Fury, and Cunningham, the more seasoned pro from Philadelphia. The hard-punching, six-foot-nine-inch Fury, 20-0, 14 KOs, is promising a definitive knockout over the former two-time champion. Cunningham, 25-5, 12 KOs, who has never been knocked out, is determined to school his younger foe and deliver the giant his very first defeat. However, it is the atmosphere for the fight and the involvement of t...

Over ten years ago, I joined a trading community called Marketocracy. I entered the community as "The Barnacle," and began different trading strategies based on what I was studying. I learned that I am what they call a "Quant Trader." I guess I was reasonably successful, since I was a member of their M100 club right until I took employment with a securities firm in 2011. I was at least successful enough to earn a mention in Dave Gaffen's, Never Buy Another Stock Again: The Investing Portfolio that Will Preserve Your Wealth and Your Sanity. Since 2011, though, most of my portfolios have died on the vine from lack of attention, though there are some that are still performing well, even though there has been minimum turnover. Maybe there is a lesson there, but I digress.
I started a new fund with Marketocracy, and it will reflect the recommendations from a screen that I have spent years revising. I call it the "Defensive Growth" philosophy. It simply looks for companies with positive growth, controllable debt, and cash liquidity. At the same time, it refuses to over pay for growth, and it also understands that can there be too much sustainable growth. Stocks will be held for one year, and the reassessed.
I will position the portfolio on an allocation that is discussed with the American Association of Individual Investors. I am doing this to make sure that the portfolio is properly allocated among large cap, mid cap, small cap, international, and emerging market stocks.
So here it goes, these are the first entries in the portfolio:
AT&T (NYSE: T): AT&T is a telecommunications giant, offering land line and mobile voice communications along with broadband and digital TV services.
Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI): Activision Blizzard is a leading publisher of videogames, notably World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk.
CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF): The Company is a manufacturers and distributors of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products in North America.
Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX): The Company is an international provider of software and Internet-based solutions for the insurance industry.
National Research Corp (NASDAQ: NRCIB): The Company is a provider of ongoing survey-based performance measurement, improvement services and governance education to the healthcare industry in the United States and Canada.
Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE: CPA): The Company is a Latin American provider of airline passenger and cargo service through its two principal operating subsidiaries, Copa and AeroRepublica.
Perfect World Co., LTD (NASDAQ: PWRD): The Company is engaged in research, development, operation and licensing of online games.
Telecom Argentina SA (NYSE: TEO): The Company provides fixed-line public telecommunication services, international long-distance service, data transmission, Internet services and directories publishing services in Argentina.
It should be pointed out, that no companies in the established international markets passed the screen. I will hold First Trust Developed Markets ex-US AlphaDEX Fund (FDT) as a place holder until proper candidates make their way to the forefront.
In the meantime, happy investing.
DISCLOSURE: I do not receive any compensation for my stock selections. I, or members of my family, currently have direct holdings in AT&T and CF Holdings.

Berry is a 5-11, 195-pound sophomore from Fairburn, Ga. He has five interceptions on the season and already has broken the SEC career record for interception return yards (397). He was the Lott Trophy IMPACT Player of the Week presented by Wachovia in Week VIII.
Named after Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, The Lott Trophy is awarded to college football's Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year. Now in its fifth year, The Lott Trophy is the first and only college football award to equally recognize athletic performance and the personal character attributes of the player.
"This is another impressive list of candidates," said Bob Cristiano, the President of the IMPACT Foundation, the sponsors of the award. "They represent the best in college football and a great cross-section of our country. It will be difficult to single out just one of these outstanding student-athletes."
Seven different conferences are represented on the list of 20, with the Southeastern Conference's five candidates leading the way. Ohio State (James Laurinaitis, Malcolm Jenkins) is the only school with two quarterfinalists. There are nine linebackers on the list, seven defensive linemen and four defensive backs. While there are 10 seniors on the list, there are also nine juniors (and one sophomore, Berry), the most underclassmen to make the quarter-finalist Lott Trophy Watch List.
Sponsored by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation, the Lott award is given to a player who exhibits the same characteristics Lott embodied during his distinguished career: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.
David Pollack of Georgia, DeMeco Ryans of Alabama, Dante Hughes of California and Glenn Dorsey of LSU were the winners of the first four Lott Trophies. Georgia, Alabama, Cal and LSU each received $25,000 for their general scholarship funds. In four years, the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation has donated $450,000 to various charities, in addition to the universities.
Voters for the award include selected members of the national media, previous finalists, the Board of Directors of the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation and Legends Coaches, a distinguished group of former head college coaches. The watch list will be trimmed to eight semifinalists on Nov. 11 and the four finalists, who all will be flown into California for the banquet, will be announced Nov. 26.
The winner will be announced at a gala black-tie banquet at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach on Dec. 14. The keynote speaker for the sold-out banquet will be long-time college football announcer Keith Jackson.
The 20 Quarterfinalists: Asher Allen, Jr., DB, Georgia; ERIC BERRY, SO., DB, TENNESSEE; Aaron Curry, Sr., LB, Wake Forest; Brian Cushing, Sr., LB, Southern California; Zack Follett, Sr., LB, California; Mark Herzlich, Jr., LB, Boston College; George Hypolite, Sr., DT, Colorado; Jeremy Jarmon, Jr., DL, Kentucky; Malcolm Jenkins, Sr., DB, Ohio State; Jan Jorgensen, Jr., DE, Brigham Young; James Laurinaitis, Sr., LB, Ohio State; Scott McKillop, Sr., LB, Pittsburgh; Brit Miller, Sr., LB, Illinois; Eric Norwood, Jr., LB, South Carolina; Brian Orakpo, Sr., DE, Texas; Nick Reed, Sr., DE, Oregon; Myron Rolle, Jr., S, Florida State; George Selvie, Jr., DE, South Florida; Brandon Spikes, Jr., LB, Florida; Sean Weatherspoon, Jr., LB, Missouri.

STUTTERERS devise tricks. Chivalrously opening a restaurant door to allow a dinner date to field the waiter's questions. Feigning busyness to dodge a phone call at work. But when people asked Chris Gerraty his surname over the phone, the 48-year-old guitar teacher would just hang up.
''Because my worst words were those beginning with M, it was really hard to get my wife to marry me,'' said Mr Gerraty, who is now an instructor at the McGuire Programme.
Since 1998, more than 600 Australians have joined the $2200 program, which begins with a four-day intensive course. Classes are run all over the world based on the model founded in 1994 by American Dave McGuire.
His method focuses on breathing techniques similar to those employed by opera singers, and looking interlocutors in the eye to foster confidence.
One graduate at a recent course in Melbourne was supply chain professional Rohit Shah. ''When I gave presentations at university there was not even a single sentence I could speak that was really correct and coherent,'' said Mr Shah, who at age 29 has stuttered all his life. ''It was all over the place.''
He took the McGuire Programme last November and now speaks fluently most of the time, having passed the course's daunting finale - a speech in Melbourne's Bourke Street mall.
But despite glowing praise from participants, speech pathologists have been slow to endorse the program.
''Speech pathology practice is based on research and evidence,'' said Christine Stone, president of Speech Pathology Australia. ''While the McGuire Programme may have results for some people who stutter, there is currently no published evidence base to support its use by speech pathologists.''
The McGuire Programme prides itself on addressing ''the whole person'' not just the physical aspect of stuttering.
Mr Gerraty said stutterers ranged from angry to introverted, and the McGuire Programme rummaged through their emotional baggage to unlock underlying fears that sometimes originated years earlier.
Dr Sally Hewat, a senior lecturer in speech pathology at the University of Newcastle, said there were many theories why people stutter and research had found sufferers were more likely to have anxiety, but this was likely a symptom not a cause.
''It is a speech co-ordination disorder,'' Dr Hewat said. ''The timing isn't quite right with the message coming from the brain and the speech motor faculties.''
She said trials of cognitive behavioural therapy commonly employed by psychologists had been successful in reducing stutterers' anxiety but had done little to improve their speech.
But Mr Gerraty likened the McGuire Programme to Alcoholics Anonymous.
''It was only after 10 years that the American Medical Association acquiesced to say, 'OK, maybe alcoholics can help other alcoholics, even if they aren't trained','' he said.
Before the McGuire Programme, Mr Shah tried everything from speech therapy to acupuncture.
''It's difficult for speech therapists to relate and give the small tips that are necessary,'' he said. ''Like looking into the eyes or taking a little breath before you speak.''
Tasmanian Greg Swalwell is another McGuire graduate. ''The amount of times I went into McDonald's wanting a Big Mac and came out with a Fillet-o-Fish because it was easier to say …'' Mr Swalwell recalled, with a smile. ''And I hate seafood, man.''

Tales of Miraculous Healing (Luke 17:19)
by Lamin Sanneh
Lamin Sanneh teaches missions and world Christianity and history at Yale Divinity School. He is an editor-at-large of The Christian Century. This article appeared in the Christian Century October 11, 1989, p. 609. Copyright by the Christian Century Foundation and used by permission. Current articles and subscription information can be found atwww.christiancentury.org. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted & Winnie Brock.
"Your faith has made you well" [Luke17:19].
However, in the long history of the fruitful interaction of science and religion, from Pythagoras to Paracelsus and from Newton to Einstein, the role of religion (though not necessarily of religious authorities) in freeing human powers has generally been recognized. Francis Bacon put it memorably: science should not see nature "as a courtesan for pleasure, but a spouse for fruit." "Pleasure" in that context stands for instrumental detachment and exploitation, while "fruit" carries the sense of ethical and social accountability. The notion that physical matter is a neutral raw datum would be foreign to Bacon and the other great 17th-century scientific pioneers. Nature for them was God's Book, inscribed with holy laws every bit as valid as the laws of the other book. Holy Scripture.
What led these thinkers to include religion in their account of the scientific enterprise was more than habit. An important philosophical principle was at stake: whether the immutable laws of science held human destiny in their iron clasp -- whether, indeed, human destiny was fixed irrevocably in the remote stellar constellations and the laws of physics. leaving us with fatalistic resignation as the only reasonable choice -- or whether. as religion was inclined to see it, human beings were free to participate in the cumulative construction of the universe. In the debate between freedom and necessity, religion was a force for integration: God endowed us with free will without removing us from responsibility for that freedom. The laws of causation are thus distinguished, though not separated, from the faculty (and faith) that apprehends them. The 15th-century Renaissance scientist Pico della Mirandola articulates this view, by putting these words into God's mouth: "We have made thee ["man"] neither a thing celestial nor a thing terrestrial, neither mortal nor immortal, so that being thine owne fashioner and artificer of thyselfe, thou maist make thyselfe after what likeness thou dost most affecte." His view was that "man containeth in himself the stars and heaven, they lie hidden in his minde . . . if we rightly knew our owne spirite no thing at all would be impossible to us on earth." Only a short step separates this notion from Jesus' teaching that faith, like a grain of mustard seed, can move the figurative sycamore tree of natural obstacles (Luke 17:5).
When we have thought of healing miracles as divine intervention, we have tended to think of an intrusion that violates the laws of nature, a contradiction that can be resolved either by an unwarranted elasticizing of those laws or by disallowing divine intervention. But the issue may be recast from confrontation on the physical plane to constructive engagement on the social. In most societies outside the West. and including many inside the West, illness is a social phenomenon that calk for social intervention. The quantitative view of illness is regarded by most Third World peoples as woefully inadequate, for in their experience illness evokes a social response: family members, friends and relatives are drawn into a widening circle of caring. The whole group is afflicted, though it is the individual who bears the pain. The time of illness is thus the time of recapitulating natural and acquired bonds, of summing up the connectedness by which personhood springs into being, of renewing human relatedness even while one of its strands is unraveling. The most typical question in illness under these circumstances is, "Why should this particular person fall ill at this particular time?" Only those most connected to the patient can ask that question, whereas perfect strangers may ask the stark clinical question, "What is the illness from which this person suffers?" That question, narrowly considered, reduces the patient to the level of inert matter, "a courtesan for pleasure," not "a spouse for fruit."
Divine intervention may be viewed as a prognostic charter for social intervention. We are roused to action on behalf of sick persons in our community, and we reach for the deepest and most abiding center of personhood in dedicating them by the divine gift of freedom to God's care and concern. Only with that religious and social sense can we erect a safety barrier, for example, between someone who is terminally ill and the pessimism that would be induced by the laws of natural causation.
One of-the most dreaded diseases in all societies has been leprosy, because of its social stigma. Instead of intervening to help, people turned the other way and cut off all contact. The patient died a social death much sooner and far worse than physical death. It was in such ~a situation that Jesus intervened, as recounted in the Gospel reading (Luke 17:11-19) , commanding the patient to go and appear in the presence of priests, the symbols and upholders of purity. Jesus puts the leprosy patients on the path of breaking out of isolation and individuality. Their willingness to go acts as a solvent on the constrictions of the flesh. They will henceforth be in contact with others. There is no such thing as closet Christianity, or closet healing.
In the new churches that have mushroomed all over postcolonial Africa, congregations are filled with worshipers seeking and finding healing. Conversion testimonies are redolent with accounts of miraculous healing, of God dealing effectively with maladies of every kind, including mending broken relationships. It is from this movement of rehabilitation that we find people once considered strangers to the promises "returning and giving praise to God" whose "mercies e'er endure, ever faithful, ever sure.

ufw and shorewall are great wrappers for iptables that abstract iptables's terminology into something better. If you want a GUI to build the firewall config, check out FWBuilder. There are a few others that exist as well, but I cannot remember what they're called. If you're having trouble setting up CouchDB to listen on all interfaces (0.0.0.0), I would not suggest trying to create an operating system. --- Keith Gable A+, Network+, and Storage+ Certified Professional Apple Certified Technical Coordinator Mobile Application Developer / Web Developer On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 7:36 AM, Stefan Reich < firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hi Robert, > > thanks for the answer. > > Now it's actually done...

Centurion: New Zealand coach Denis Aberhart on Thursday said his side would target an in-form Sachin Tendulkar in its do-or-die World Cup Super Six match against India on Friday."Sachin must be due for failure - hopefully, that's on Friday. He's batted very well. If we bowl in the right areas we could put him under pressure.
"We will be doing our work to make sure he doesn't get runs on Friday," said Aberhart admitting that the batting maestro would be the biggest hurdle in New Zealand's path to the semi-final stage.Stressing that his side could not afford to lose against India, he urged the players to be focussed for the match."We have to keep focus on beating India to get to the semi-finals. They would also like to beat us - but it's not going to be a grudge match." Though the Kiwi coach termed the wickets for the World Cup games in the country as "slow and low" but expected the one at Centurion Park here to carry good bounce and pace."They have been a bit slow and low than what we thought they would be.
But this one seems better and we are looking forward to playing on it."He said though Kenya's victory against Zimbabwe on Wednesday affected New Zealand's chances, on a wider perspective he feels it can only imply good things for the game."Now it's the stage of the semi-finals and only one place is left for grabs. Kenya has played some good cricket but they have been fortunate at times as well," said Aberhart. Three teams have already qualified for the semi-finals with Australia (20), India (16) and Kenya (14) occupying the first three berths."Kenya's win has been good for cricket. Now there is someone else on the world stage and gospel of cricket is being spread," he added.
While Kenya have prospered, New Zealand is facing elimination and Aberhart could not help but reflect on the lost opportunities against Australia at Port Elizabeth on Tuesday. "It was a game we should have won. We had them down at seven for 84. But our bowling resources were stretched a little bit after we got Shane Bond through with his ten overs."Our bowlers didn't bowl as well as we would have liked them to do.
Australia is kind of a team which could only be beaten if you fight them for full 100 overs, for whole game.We didn't look to play for 100 overs."Last year we showed we can beat them in their own conditions by prevailing 3-1. They are a kind of side you need to take them on rather than sit back and do things." PTI

Welcome to my Water Softening blog. Here we provide all information about water softening.
What is water softening ?
Water softening is a technique that serves the removal of the ions that cause the water to be hard, in most cases calcium and magnesium.
Hard water simply means that it contains more minerals than ordinary water. These are especially the minerals calcium and magnesium. The degree of hardness of the water increases, when more calcium and magnesium dissolves. Hard water causes two problems :
- It can cause "scale" to form on the inside of pipes, tea kettles, water heater and so on. The calcium and magnesium precipitate out of the water and stick to things. The scale doesn't conduct heat well and it also reduces the flow through pipes. Eventually, pipes can become completely clogged.
- It reacts with soap to form a sticky scum, and also reduces the soap's ability to lather. Since most of us like to wash with soap, hard water makes a bath or shower less productive.
The solution to hard water is either to filter the water by distillation or reverse osmosis to remove the calcium and magnesium, or to use a water softener. Filtration would be extremely expensive to use for all the water in a house, so a water softener is usually a less costly solution.
Water softeners are specific ion exchangers that are designed to remove ions, which are positively charged.
Softeners mainly remove calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. Calcium and magnesium are often referred to as 'hardness minerals'.
Softeners are sometimes even applied to remove iron. The softening devices are able to remove up to five milligrams per litre (5 mg/L) of dissolved iron.
Softeners can operate automatic, semi-automatic, or manual. Each type is rated on the amount of hardness it can remove before regeneration is necessary.
A water softener collects hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and from time to time flushes them away to drain.
Ion exchangers are often used for water softening. When an ion exchanger is applied for water softening, it will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with other ions, for instance sodium or potassium. The exchanger ions are added to the ion exchanger reservoir as sodium and potassium salts (NaCl and KCl).
All that process is called water softening.

I don't remember how I found pastor's blog. I have never met him and probably never will, but jeepers, he seems balanced and encouraging. Mostly he writes for pastors and has a lot of leadership stuff, but most of it applies to anybody. I found this post to be particularly encouraging after a very trying day yesterday.
In my job, I am frequently in and out of rooms and working while people are watching television. At home, I am not much of a television viewer. I spend a lot of time watching the same movies repetitiously. I am probably in the cult movie follower category for Princess Bride, Jurassic Park, While You Were Sleeping, National Treasure and Madagascar. But I digress. The funny thing I was going to tell you is that while wandering in and out of rooms and working, I heard the funniest one-liner the other day. I have no idea what it is from,but it went like this: "What are you so upset about? Did a house land on your sister this morning?"
I thought it was hysterical. I may be alone in this, but I am still laughing. Probably that is my ultimate shallowness showing through, I mean, who but a really shallow person would watch the same stupid movies over and over. Self created re-runs.

I was at the Ney Museum site again. The sky was somewhat hazy. At about 1:52:40-54 Sept. 28 UTC NOSS 3-3 A and C (05-004A and C, 28537 and 28541) flared to at least -2 magnitude. They were visible without binoculars for much longer before and some seconds after that. They definitely rated a double wow! Earlier, Cosmos 1536 (84-013A, 14699) did a very bright pass fairly high east of the zenith, getting as bright as zero mag. Seven flaring geosats were visible, five in the shadow-entry area. One of those I could see only with my 10x50, which I decided to get out due to being in town with some haze in the sky.

text: Shares of Too ( TOO) were among the NYSE's winners Tuesday, rising 7% after the girls' clothing retailer lifted its first-quarter earnings guidance. The company expects to report earnings of 28 cents to 30 cents a share, up from an earlier view of 22 cents to 24 cents a share. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call project earnings of 24 cents a share. Too attributed the better-than-expected projection to a 6% to 7% increase in same-store sales. Previously, the company said it would post a same-store sales increase of 3%. "Following strong sales in February, March sales for Limited Too and Justice were well above our original expectations, despite the calendar shift of Easter to April this year," the company said. Too plans to release its full first-quarter results on May 17. Shares were trading up $2.21 to $35.47. International Paper ( IP) rose 2% after the paper and forest products company said it plans to sell 5.1 million acres of forestland for about $6.1 billion. Under one of the agreements, IP will sell about 4.2 million acres for roughly $5 billion to an investor group led by Resource Management Service, a timberland investment management firm. An investor group led by timberland company TimberStar will buy another 900,000 acres for roughly $1.1 billion. "These agreements for the sale of forestlands at very attractive valuations are important steps forward in our plan to increase focus and improve returns to shareholders," International Paper said. Shares were up 69 cents to $35.41. Shares of Delta and Pine Land ( DLP) fell 3% after the producer of cottonseed posted second-quarter earnings that missed Wall Street expectations. For the quarter ended Feb. 28, the company earned $14.7 million, or 40 cents a share, on revenue of $115 million. Two analysts had an average estimate for earnings of 46 cents a share, while a single analyst expected revenue of $133.5 million. During the year-earlier quarter, the company earned $19 million, or 48 cents a share, including a litigation charge of 2 cents a share. Revenue totaled $119.9 million.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Tamar Poladian, Esq. (818) 242-8100 email@example.com
GLENDALE, CA - Cranbrook Realty Corp and Broker Associate, J.P. John Perron cleared the air regarding a news conference held in Glendale, CA this week, where Senatorial candidate Carly Fiorina used the New Horizons Family Center property as a backdrop to her complaints about the "ridiculous waste of taxpayers' money."
"As the listing brokerage representing the sale of the New Horizons Family Center's property on Maryland Avenue in the City of Glendale, Cranbrook Realty Corp has been instructed by Maria Rochart, Executive Director of the Center, to have all of the taxpayer stimulus funds returned upon the sale of the property," stated Perron. "With the current state of the economy, I have been approached by numerous non-profit organizations to assess their viability and ability to continue to hold real estate. I have also been asked to assess the options available, if any, to many of these organizations to allow them to continue to provide their respective local communities with much needed services," continued Perron. "In the case of New Horizons, the fact that this stimulus money will be paid back exemplifies the spirit of the organization and reflects favorably on the merit of the Center and the original decision to support and fund this project. This will have a good ending and those involved can hold their heads high," he added.
Cranbrook Realty Corp, a recognized name in the Glendale community, has built its reputation on supporting grassroots programs at the local level. "When economic factors result in a change of plans, doing the right thing is always for the better good. This group did not hesitate when they informed me that they would do just that. Maria Rochart and New Horizons Family Center have kept the plans and permits for this redevelopment in place and the best outcome would be for a similar organization coming in and fulfilling the promise of improving our community. After all, the Center was established to assist deserving children and the expansion project was commenced to enhance the existing programs. At Cranbrook, we are privileged to help our city and our neighbors in any way we can. Regardless, our marching orders are 'pay back the money' - bottom line," Perron concluded.
New Horizons Family Center, Glendale, CA 91205, provides child care, counseling services, and domestic violence services for adults and youth in Los Angeles County and serves low-income and immigrant families participating in their Even Start Family Literacy Program that focuses on the development of the children and their families.
Cranbrook Realty Corp is a California Real Estate brokerage and has personally represented Fortune 500 companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS), lending institutions, and high net worth individuals in the development, acquisition, and disposition of various types of properties that have exceeded $700,000,000 in Southern and Northern California.

Kids Say What?????
This week a YouTube video of a little kid telling his uncle all the bad words he knows (most of which started with "butt") went viral. So in true Jimmy Kimmel style, he adapted the theme of kids and swear words into a "Kimmel asks Kids" segment that took a member of his staff out on the street to ask kids about all the naughty words they know.
They started off innocent enough with things like "shut up," and "stupid," but things quickly took a dirty turn and f bombs were dropped! One cute little boy didn't want to say it out loud so he spelled the "s" word!

Please consider reducing the amount of stevia in the citrus flavor product. Otherwise it is nice. Overdoing stevia makes the produce slightly repulsive, especially the undissolved particles at the bottom of the glass. I am looking for something less sweet with similar components.
This product provides a lot of energy for your activities. It is not for non activities. You have to be doing something to feel the energy and make the most use of the product. All in all it is a good really good product and I use a half of a dose due to its potency.
I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue / Adrenal Insufficiency they are both the same and this product truly helps. It is not a cure it all but it bumps your energy and I have not had a flu shot in years and have not gotten sick either as long as you take this product.
Soon as you feel the onset of the cold or flu take the powder twice or three times in the first two days, and yes "wala" you will not get the cold.
This product makes taking a pill fun. Thanks, Judy Ansley
My husbands doctor recommended that he take Enzymatic Therapy. He has Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia FMS. He takes it once a day sometimes twice. If he misses a day he feels awful. Hes been taking it for 10 years now. It gives him the energy he needs to get through the day which his days are extremely painful for him.
