News of the Day – 11/15/08
Posted By Diane Firstman On November 15, 2008 @ 10:21 am In Diane Firstman,News of the Day | Comments Disabled
Today's news (now with 37% more Nick Swisher in it!):
A high-placed Yankee source Thursday reacted to the development by saying: "The Mets are in it? Great. Bring it on."
Folks with other teams don't know how Sabathia possibly can turn down the Yankees' offer. But regardless of whether the Yankees sign him or not, their intention is to plow ahead and pursue other pitchers, as well. If they can sign Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, they will do so. If they can sign Sabathia and Derek Lowe, they will do it. If they can sign Burnett and Lowe, they will do it. If they can sign Sabathia and Burnett and Lowe, they will do it. If they can sign Sabathia, Burnett and Andy Pettitte, they will do that. They have the room to themselves, and their choices will largely dictate what leftovers will remain for others to choose from.
If the Yankees, as expected, come roaring out of the free-agent blocks, offering CC Sabathia a six-year deal in the neighborhood of $140 million, how many teams can possibly even hang in there with them in the CC Derby? …. So the honest answer is: There is probably no team that can shower money on Sabathia the way the Yankees can, especially in this economy. And it's becoming increasingly clear they know it, too.
As Cashman points out, the Yankees weren't exactly hoarding their resources last winter just because they passed on Torii Hunter, Carlos Silva et al. They spent $382 million on long-term deals for A-Rod, Rivera and Posada, signed Robinson Cano for four years and $30 million and shelled out $32 million more on Andy Pettitte and Bobby Abreu's one-year option.
"Even if everything that we hope and dream for happens, we'll spend less money this free-agent market than we did last free-agent market," Cashman said.
It means Cashman still values roster and payroll flexibility, a concept he put in doubt with his questionable three-year, $12-million commitment to setup man Damaso Marte on Wednesday.
It means that the Yankees appreciate the risk in giving a nine-figure contract to someone they don't know firsthand — and that they're certainly not going to give out two such deals in the same winter.
The genius to the Swisher deal is that it's a down-market solution for an up-market franchise. … getting a player with experience at all three positions this early in the Hot Stove season engenders all sorts of follow-on possibilities. The Yankees can look at fixes at all three problem positions, but they can afford to be flexible and pick the best two fits instead of locking in on any one option. They can still pursue Mark Teixeira to play first for them, but they can also keep Bobby Abreu informed of where they're at on that front, and that might help keep the latter's price down if he's determined to stay in pinstripes. It might even deke him into the kind of discounted, short-term deal that would really be in the Yankees' best interest, whether Tex signs with the Yankees or not.
Swisher's success in New York will be the key to the deal from New York's standpoint; Texeira is redundant in a system full of similar fastball-slider relief pitchers, such as Anthony Claggett. The White Sox hope pitching coach Don Cooper and pitching coordinator Kirk Champion can work the same magic with Marquez that they have for the likes of Gavin Floyd and John Danks and pick up a potential power arm for the '09 bullpen in Nunez.
… Swisher is popular throughout the game, and he has some attributes the Yankees really like: he draws a ton of walks, he's got a good glove at first, and he's a switch-hitter with power who can also fill in at all three outfield spots.
The plan is to concentrate on starting pitching, namely Sabathia, and – at best – Teixeira is a backburner issue in case all the rotation avenues prove fruitless. Teixeira was pushed further to the backburner yesterday when the Yanks obtained Nick Swisher, who, as of now, projects to be the starting first baseman.
and …
Swisher's acquisition from the White Sox helps Cashman avoid the Teixeira market. Swisher is not a Gold Glover like Teixeira, but is considered above average at first. He also can play any of the three outfield positions. But even if he ended up there (with a trade of Johnny Damon or Xavier Nady), the Yanks would likely still avoid Teixeira. They worry Posada, Rodriguez or Derek Jeter could end up needing to play first during the life of what would be a long-term deal for Teixeira.

AbstractSeismological investigations show that the Point Mugu earthquake involved north-south crustal shortening deep within the complex fault zone that marks the southern front of the Transverse Ranges province. This earthquake sequence results from the same stress system responsible for the deformation in this province in the Pliocene through Holocene and draws attention to the significant earthquake hazard that the southern frontal fault system poses to the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Hi. So. This is odd for me. Um I'm going to try and attempt a lord of the rings fanfiction. So I guess this is going to be about two characters journey's into middle earth, and to keep matters easier for me, it will be during the fellowship, and if I see a future beyond that I will let you know.
Ok so the first chapter will be establishing things folks, because I hate hate hate how some fics just go, ok, you're there, first thing. Well, one character will be lead there initially, but I wont be there straight away.
Umm I guess a short summary is in order:
Lana is a dreamer, hoping to escape her own world and into a world she had forgotten. Riley is reason, and is determined to save Lana and bring her back to earth if she can (and in one piece) and make her see that you cannot escape yourself wherever you go. That is, if she does not get lost in Middle Earth herself.
And don't worry you visual people, a physical description will come of them soon enough. I want to introduce things first.
Chapter 1: A row
A girl sat on her bed whirring through her laptop, occasionally leaning back to stretch her back and crack her knuckles. Another girl lay on her carpeted floor gazing up at the ceiling.
"Lana, you really should get to work." The first said, though not critically.
Lana pulled out her phone and pulled out her phone defiantly, and continued her blogging while her friend tapped away on her university assignment. The comment held no weight towards Lana's feelings, for she was completely in her own world. Her daydreams often led her to forget to speak, even acknowledge any other happenings outside her own business.
Besides, the first had said similar phrases throughout the day they had spent in her room. It was getting old.
The friend atop her bed perch gazed down at the figure on her floor with seemingly unconcerned eyes but momentarily ceased her tick tacking to pull open another browser. She typed in the letter t in the URL and let the rest of the bar auto-complete to the most used site under that letter. A few short clicks away and her face slowly contorted into annoyance and she glanced over her screen again to see Lana, with her eyes glazed over as she blogged.
"Reblogging sad posts won't get the job finished." She said sharply.
Lana, startled, dropped her phone onto her face, and rolled onto her side to curl up and cradle her pained face.
"Why do you always do that?" Lana said all muffled from her hands.
"It's not my fault you startle easy." There was the barest hint of amusement that only Lana had learned to listen for.
"Yes it is," Lana mumbled childishly, sitting up.
Lana picked her phone up and was about to resume when the darn thing had indicated it needed to be charged.
She began her demand, "Riley, can I use your—"
"Not until you start your rough draft."
"Darn I left my notepad at home."
"I have paper on my desk," Riley said without looking up. If
Lana huffed and chucked her phone beside her purse before venturing towards the other side of the room.
She was definitely dreading finding the paper, and took to examining everything along the way.
Lana knew that Riley wasn't one for showing off, so her medals that were showcased on a small hook were thanks to Riley's mother, who wished her child were more proud of her accomplishments. They ranged from little league to high school senior sports all across the spectrum. Lana ran her hand along them, fancying the clangs they made when disturbed.
Riley wanted to tell her to hurry up, but long ago realized rushing Lana was not a reasonable thing to do, it just prompted arguments.
Lana frequently wondered, "What happened" to Riley. What had originally made them become such good friends was her tendency for action, her unregretful personality and her love. Not that she still wasn't any of those things, she just tended to only show these qualities to her and trusted people. It was a gradual thing that she finally noticed in their senior year. There were signs, like she wouldn't speak up often, wasn't always so cheeky towards teachers and peers anymore, and her sense of humour had dried.
Lana stopped along the wall in front of a shelf. "What's this?" She asked, and picked up a pearly silvery shell the size of her hand, cupped.
"Like the jewellery?"
There was a pause in Riley's response that Lana hadn't noticed in her fascination, "Sure."
"C'mon, what's it for."
Riley shifted nervously, and sat on her haunches. "You see that bundle of dried plants?" she asked. She set her laptop aside to pay attention to Lana's action, lest that girl drop anything.
Lana picked up the pale gray and green plant, almost white, and smelled it instinctively. Her face pursed, not sure what to make of it.
"You take a little and put it in the bowl and burn it."
Lana nodded, "What is it?"
"Sage. For healing."
"Oh." She replaced it on the shelf, and gazed upon the other shelves also containing things she wasn't sure about. Lana sensed the pressure in the room, and moved along feeling it lift. She quickly made her way to the desk, and pulled up a notebook. "This one okay to use?"
Riley nodded, settling back in with her computer, while Lana also finally decided to get to it.
Many hours later, they both decided it had all been too much.
Lana yawned excessively, and stretched herself like a cat, while Riley watched with amused eyes. She was always impressed with Lana's tendency to exaggerate.
"We should go outside." Lana suggested.
Riley snorted, preferring the comfort of her bed most.
"C'mon, like we used to!"
Lana was very charismatic. Riley was always surprised she did the things she did, but not by the abilities of the person who provoked her to do these wild things because it was difficult to deny Lana anything.
"You can never say no to me." Lana remarked adorably.
"Yeah, how do your parents handle you?" She replied rhetorically.
They discovered that both cars were gone; they hadn't even realized that Riley's older sister had left, taking their only way to town. They were a tad out of the way of the bus stop, which happened to be a very long walk to the main highway.
"Well, like we used to, let's take a walk in your backyard."
Backyard was an understatement. Riley happened to have just beyond her lawn a forest at her disposal, however it had not been used recently.
"How come you never talk about that stuff?" Lana asked, as they reached the beginnings of a path beyond the first couple of trees.
"What stuff?" Riley dodged the tree root to her left.
"You know, your native stuff?"
She shrugged. Internally, she rolled her eyes at the description. "Well, I've never been asked." Riley was careful to not say 'you never asked.'
"Well I think it's cool, you should talk about it more often." She said matter of fact.
"If only."
"I mean, why should you guys be hiding? The only thing I know about you guys is from like back in the day. People should know that you guys live like you do. You're just like us!"
"I know I guess we just get such a bad rap." Riley said, only to pass the conversation she'd heard so many times before.
"But I mean, I wish natives were good like you."
"Okay, shut up now."
It was not said half-hearted or good naturedly, Lana finally tuned to see Riley's utterly not amused face.
"What's wrong?"
"You know, I wish I didn't have to tell you. About it all. But I do."
"Well if you get your head off your high horse, you'd realize I just complimented you. It happens to you way more often than you think."
"That's not what I mean. I thought you would be a bit more sensitive. For me, for them. But it's just you, isn't it? In your own world."
Lana finally was fully offended. "Well, Riley. If you weren't so uptight and impersonal, you'd realize that I've not been ok. My parents hate me, my boyfriend cheated on me, I'm failing our courses, and my own friend won't recognize it."
"I'm sorry if I don't read into every single detail you lay out for me, but I have a life too."
"You are so selfish, you can't tell me it's been that difficult to see that I'm hurting."
"I'm selfish? It's taken you how long to come and see me? I have a whole world of problems."
"You never said anything." Lana accused.
Prepared for a rebuttal, Riley opened her mouth to speak but ironically shut it to let Lana hear her own words. They rung against her.
"You cause your own problems." Riley muttered harshly. She led herself back to her house, leaving Lana there, still fuming. It was no matter to get back to the house, it was just going to be humiliating to grab her things and wait for Riley's parents to drive her home.
Lana started after Riley, intent on ending this conversation her way.
"Don't you walk away from me, we're going to finish this."
"No, I'm going to get your stuff. You can wait in the den until Mom gets home." Riley said, walking up the back porch.
Lana paused, she'd never been bossed around, and her friend was not the controlling type. She bit back her surprise so she could voice her usual tag line: "You can't say no to me."
Riley momentarily stopped, mid step. "Come on." She finally said, though never betraying her face to Lana.
Lana left a long while later, too long if you had asked Riley, which no one did near enough in her opinion. Her parents had sensed nothing amiss other than the fact that Lana had not raided their kitchen yet, as they were accustomed to her doing before her visits to their house lessened with university.
Wanting to preserve her relationship with Riley's parents, and not wanting to have to face the shame of walking home at this hour when a car ride was earlier guaranteed, she gave no suspicion to an argument and gratefully accepted transportation home.
Lana was not sure where Riley's new temperament came from. Her parents were lovely open people, they were good-humoured, loved to talk, especially about stories. And their rich way of speaking made her smile inside. She wished Riley would learn to be like them. These people would've gotten along so well at their high school, yet Riley was so reserved as of late, it was a stark comparison.
Once home in her suburban neighbourhood, she regretted instantly everything that had happened.
Things had just been going so poorly lately that she had managed to bugger up what ever else made her happy.
Lana's parents gave no warm welcome once she arrived, in fact, had taken much care in not noticing at all. The two adults had obviously just been arguing also, creating a tense air about the house. With a clench of her chest, she realized it must have been about her, because if it wasn't, they might've at least told her to get back to taking care of the house.
The argument in question was to get her out of the house. Lana did not understand, as they were scarcely around anyways. Part of her wished they wanted her presence. Why is it that wherever else she was received warmly with little effort, but when she tried twice as hard for their affections, she was met with nothing? She swallowed her affectionate side she so openly displayed elsewhere and quietly tiptoed up to her room.
For an hour or two well past her bedtime, Lana managed to stop her sniffling and pull laptop from its case to escape to her favourite site. Hours before she had spent on her blog, and she was not about to quit her getaway. She found herself looking droning through depressing things, and not fighting against it, reblogging where she could.
All through the night she cried silently, ignoring the amends of her ex boyfriend, standing against her parents' silence and neglecting everything else.
She decided at least, that the easiest thing at this point was to apologize to her friend, since it was fresh, and Riley was always forgiving.
Riley suddenly woke with a terrible grogginess whose sleep should not have been interrupted. But alas, her phone vibrated under her pillow. The girl scowled after noticing the sender. "Here's me saying no." She tossed her phone aside with a resounding thud and rolled over in her bed.
Lana cradled herself on her bedroom floor, forgetting her soft bed in favour of the cool ground. She stared blankly, long forgetting much of everything. Eventually, her eyes started fluttering, aching for sleep. She realized that she too had changed. She used to pay attention to much more than the opinions of others. She once cared to simply pay attention to herself.
Riley's comment about her selfishness wholly and truly hurt her. That was what she was hoping to avoid appearing as.
She once again wiped the welling in her eyes, only to be staring at a box under her bed. A long time ago she decided it was time to push away things that others found repulsive and found new appreciations in girly things, mature things, and real things. In fact, she had forgotten what was exactly in these boxes under her bed, only remembering that they were at least important enough to have been kept in her room, even if they were roughly packed.
Her tears ceased altogether as she pulled many things. Mostly books she used to covet. Excessively, she recalled. There were also faded photos, cassettes, and old scratched compact discs.
She pulled out of another box a book. Lana pursed her lips, remembering the embarrassment it caused her. The Hobbit was a book that her sixth grade class had read throughout the year, one that everyone enjoyed, since it was read altogether instead of on your own. That's how it ought to be read anyways, much less boring to that age anyways.
But Lana took a great liking to it. That following summer she had saved her birthday money to go halfsies with her mother in the trilogy of the Lord of the Rings. Those were the days when her mother would do most anything to keep her bounding daughter preoccupied for as long as possible.
Before Riley switched from the French Immersion class over to the English class and became Lana's best friend, this is what she immersed herself in for the summer. Lana had been determined to finish them, even if some of the diction escaped her.
By the next start of term, she was a poster child for fantasy genre. She had asked for weird things from her parents, like mythology books, archery lessons, and horse riding lessons, though did not succeed in getting her own pony unfortunately.
The class had obviously not taken kindly. As per usual in the world, this was the age where judgement started to take hold, and these children enforced it like no tomorrow.
Afterwards, Lana had taken notice that these qualities of hers were not welcome, and adjusted, though it took her until high school to put the stories away.
It was unfair though, as she felt the need to share these books, but this obsession did not mesh well socially with her bubbly personality, and was often squashed.
She was forgiven, however, since she was blessed with very agreeable looks. Such the way that high school works. The only person who seemed to take notice, but did not let it bother their friendship, was Riley. Lana had convinced her to at least read the Hobbit, which she did reluctantly. But Riley might've figured it was just a phase, since the books were dropped soon enough.
Therefore upon the books' reopening, a pang of hurt rung through her, but also nostalgia. What she had wished for was in these books.
The pain of the real world did not fade, but was overshadowed by the light of her books, bringing her away. If only there were a way out.
Dejectedly, she threw her books against the floor and away from her.
The following day, Lana rose from her sleep; still realizing it was her life. Her normally bright and cheerful eyes were puffy and red. She would usually correct them with makeup but felt drained of energy, even to get out of bed.
She decided upon a run, much later in the evening after finally getting out of bed. It being almost reading week, she saw little point in going for the rest of the week, even if she was behind. She had most of her teachers' favour and they were more lenient with her since she tended to have talks with her professors.
Finally on a dirt path, and far away from any car, person or sound, she settled into a pace. She focused on her breathing and footfalls, thankful for the distraction.
A whisper in the wind made her stop. Though she was wearing warm jogging clothing, once and a while a chill would run through her, and this one made her stop. All at once, events came rushing back to her. Now she had no one. Even the trees were silent, as if not wanting to respond to her.
She knew she had hurt Riley, her only rock left in her unstable life.
Her breaths were catching and before she could control it, her tears came rushing forth. Lana's bottom quickly found the ground, and she was huddled.
The wind whistled again, and it made her listen. Perhaps, to humour herself, she whistled back. She closed her eyes, and as if the wind were talking to her, making her listen, she sat back.
Before long, the light was fading, and Lana was up again, heading home before she could see, and wanted to make it to the nearest lamppost before she began tripping all over the forest in the night.
Weird thoughts plagued her mind. What was she thinking?
Lana stared down at the bag she packed, not sure what to make of it. For the past fifteen minutes after she had prepared it, she contemplated if she was mad. There was no way she was running away.
But had that been the reason this bag was packed? She stared at the books she so memorized and remembered what the wind had told her yesterday. As if in trance, she had been told all that she wanted, and had been urged back out to the forest.
Something told Lana that where she was going, she wouldn't need heels. She sported her bright pink running shoes again, tied her blonde hair up, and made her way back to the place she went the night before.
Lana walked nervously to the place where she had sat, and the ground was as the way she left it, with her butt imprint and shoe scuffles.
She struggled to remember what she had done to get the wind to talk again. It had spoke first though.
Nervously, in hopes it would answer, she whistled. The breeze had stopped altogether.
She clutched her bag tight to her chest. And whistled again.
Starting at her, feet, the wind picked up. It pulled her back into the open, but further into the forest, and there was a small clearing, enough for the wind to swirl incredibly surrounding the poor girl, churning everything into the unperceivable.

Professor Nathalie Martin recently spent a few days at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City as part of a growing exchange between one of Mexico's leading universities and the UNM School of Law. During her visit, she shared her expertise on U.S. bankruptcy law with international business law students of Professor Nuri Cortina Flores. Professor Cortina had visited the UNM law school last fall.
The following morning, Martin spoke to the Asociación Nacional de Abogadas del Empresa, Colegio de Abogadas (The National Association of Corporate Lawyers), where she discussed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Later that day, she presented the keynote address at a conference about the financial crisis sponsored by the law school's Chapter of Phi Delta Phi. The title of address, which was in question and answer form, was, "Legal Aspects of the U.S. Financial Crisis."
In addition to Professor Cortina's recent visit to the UNM School of Law, last summer, Lorena Garate, a law student at the Tecnológico de Monterrey's State of Mexico campus, worked as an intern at the Rodey Law Firm.
"It's exciting to work across the border with our colleagues in Mexico," says Martin. "I look forward to a long, fruitful and important relationship between the two schools."

The Lord Chancellor's Department says the hike is required to help tackle the predicted workload increase caused by the implementation of the Human Rights Act and the Immigration and Asylum bill.
Lord Irvine says: "It is essential our courts should be well prepared to meet additional challenges. I believe some increases to the High Court bench will be needed as early as the beginning of next year, leaving head-room within the new ceiling for further appointment as need arises."
The move comes as the LCD seeks to increase the statutory ceiling of provincial Stipendiary Magistrates in England and Wales from 50 to 56.
Lord Irvine says that the number of lay magistrates – which currently stands at more than 30,000 – has risen year on year since 1988. He stressed that the appointment of a Stipendiary must be seen as complementary to the lay bench rather than displacing it

To read on an Australian Securities Exchange release that someone "resigned for personal reasons" is such a cliche that it is generally assumed to be euphemistic.
Such cynicism ignores that executives are real people with lives that inevitably throw up personal priorities.
With a whole crop of baby boomers currently juggling senior executive roles with personal demands to help care for grandkids and ageing parents, the mid-career gap year could be an emerging trend.
In February 2010,
Certain he would return to full-time work but unsure where that would be, the couple sold their home in Sydney and moved in to their holiday house in Lake Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast. It was "what needed to be a priority at the time" he says.
Since then Tessarolo has worked as a consultant, mostly around the Newcastle region and in 2011 took a short contracting role as a business-process consultant.
As his mother now needs a higher level of care she is residing in a nursing home, meaning "the time is right to return to full-time work", he says. Last week he commenced as chief financial officer of gambling equipment and services company
He had not done any consulting work for eBET prior to joining the company, rather, his introduction came from a former colleague at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu – where he began his career as an auditor between 1976 to 1980 – who knew the chief executive officer and put his old friend's CV on the table.
The new CFO says having a hiatus on his resume posed less of an obstacle to finding a role than overcoming expectations that after more than 20 years at Alcatel-Lucent he would only be interested in working for a big multinational. After joining Alcatel as internal audit director Asia Pacific in 1989 he then became a regional financial controller before becoming CFO of Australasia and Pacific Islands then vice president finance Australasia and North Asia until he left in February 2010.
For the next phase in his career Tessarolo says he was interested in the tech industry and wanted to work for a smaller company where he "could make a contribution to taking things to the next level".
Currently the business has 55,000 poker machines in the market which it sells, maintains and supports. It also has a line of trade in gaming-management software systems as well as some small offshore subsidiaries such as a joint venture in online wagering on horse racing in the US and interests in Malaysia and Vietnam.
Tessarolo has experience working in all those countries and says he "knows how to set up some good control mechanisms to handle the geographic spread", however, with "June 30 fast approaching" his first priority is to "get his head around the numbers and systems". Once that's done he can start working with the other departments on improvements.
Expansion for eBET is challenged by a high level of industry regulation. "The universe is defined by the fact there are only a certain number of [poker machine] licences out there," says Tessarolo. Those companies with a share of the limited supply of existing licenses are under increased regulatory scrutiny as a result of the politics over the possible introduction of mandatory pre-commitment technology.
But "there could also be a growth opportunity in the gaming-management software business if the regulations go through", says Tessarolo. This echoes the view expressed to CFO by major gaming industry player Tatts Group CFO Ray Gunston in September 2011.
While Tessarolo is reticent to say too much about his strategy after only five days in the job, his initial assessment is that the best growth opportunities for eBET lie in taking market share from larger competitors, particularly
More online services are likely to be central to this. "At the moment machines are installed in pubs and clubs with just one game on them," he says, and it's possible that in the future "venues might keep the same cabinet but be able to download different games on to them".

Warsaw (AFP) Nov 20, 2013
Rich and poor countries squared off at climate talks in Warsaw on Wednesday as UN chief Ban Ki-moon called for "much bolder" action to stave off an existential peril.
The two sides squabbled over funds to help poor nations deal with global warming and apportioning curbs in greenhouse gases.
Amid the haggling, Ban urged parties not to lose sight of the big picture.
"Climate change is the greatest single threat to peace, prosperity and sustainable development," the UN secretary general told negotiators in the Polish capital.
Dozens of ministers joined a special meeting on finance as, in other rooms, work continued laboriously on a global pact that must be sealed by the end of 2015.
The deal must roll back emissions from fossil fuels to avert climate damage for future generations and help poor countries exposed to worsening storms, floods, droughts and rising seas.
With only two days left in this annual round, some observers and delegates said the talks were badly deadlocked, particularly on finance.
Developing nations are challenging wealthy countries to honour a 2009 pledge to muster up to $100 billion (74 billion euros) by 2020.
Still struggling with an economic crisis, the developed world is wary of unveiling a point-by-point plan at this stage, or pledging any new short-term figures.
"The 100 billion is a goal we need to establish a very clear roadmap for," insisted Indian Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan.
"Unless that is provided for, it will be impossible for us to take forward any meaningful discussion and we feel the negotiations will be rendered completely meaningless," she told journalists.
Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete said poor nations were doing their best to mobilise funds for climate change, but the costs were "just too high".
Funding hit by crisis
Poland's Marcin Korolec, chairing this year's negotiations, said the finance discussion was "challenging" and underscored the constraints caused by the economic crisis.
"We could not have predicted the economic darkness that we have all lived through for the past five years."
Ban said that to achieve the UN goal of limiting average global warming to 2.0 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) from pre-Industrial Revolution levels, "our target for scaling up climate finance must be much bolder."
The United States and Europe were quick to point to their own efforts.
US negotiator Todd Stern said his country had contributed about $2.7 billion in public money in 2013, "the highest number that we have had in the last four years". European Union envoy Connie Hedegaard said the 28-nation bloc had earmarked some 1.7 billion euros in 2014-2015.
The money crunch also lies at the heart of another issue bedevilling the talks: demands by developing countries for a mechanism to help them deal with climate-related losses and damage.
Rich nations fear being locked into never-ending liability for compensation.
Countries including the United States and Australia said there was no need to create a "loss and damage" mechanism separate from existing systems for dealing with climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Another bone of contention is deciding how to share out future emissions curbs.
Developing countries, many like China and India burning vast reserves of atmosphere-polluting coal to fuel their economic development, want wealthy nations to make deeper cuts to make up for their long history of emissions.
"Developed countries need to do more... now, and not transfer all the burden of climate change to the poor of the world after 2020," said India's Natarajan.
But US negotiator Stern dismissed this.
Any agreement in which "the developed countries would be treated in one way, in one section of the agreement, and developing countries in a different part of the agreement" was a "non-starter", he said.

Washington DC (SPX) Jul 03, 2008
Numerous wildfires continue to burn out of control throughout California. Many of these fires were ignited in late June by dry lighting and made worse by parched conditions and a lack of rainfall, fire officials report.
NASA's Aqua satellite captured this image of several of the blazes as it passed over California on June 30, 2008. This image specifically shows the fires burning in the area south of Monterey, some of the state's largest according to fire officials.
Active fires are outlined in red. Smoke can also be seen billowing north up the California coastline.
According to news reports, about 364,600 acres, or almost 570 square miles, of land throughout the state have already burned, and most of the blazes have not yet been contained.
Skies in the north were mostly cloudy when NASA's Aqua satellite passed over California on June 30, 2008, but the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor was able to get this cloud-free shot of Southern California showing fires burning south of Monterey.
Places where the sensor detected actively burning fires are outlined in red.
Smoke spreads north up the coast. The two fires pictured are among the largest of scores of fires burning in the state. According to the July 1 report from the National Interagency Fire Center, the Indians Fire was 81,378 acres and 95 percent contained; the Basin Complex Fire was 39,906 acres and 3 percent contained.
The high-resolution image provided above is at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel.
The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides twice-daily images of Northern and Southern California in additional resolutions and formats, including an infrared-enhanced version that highlights the presence of burned ground.

2004 325xi auto -> 5speed turbo with megasquirt
gonna revive this thread. i've more or less finished my supra (for the time being, until the bmw runs).
i've received a bunch of PMs since i've posted this thread about stuff. unfortunately, I lost all the original build pictures with the bottom mount, and the struggle for topmount.
i'll post some pictures here with progress, and update the first post for those interested.
i have no idea what's written in the thread anymore, so i'll simply repeat it:
I picked up the car sometime in 2007, 2004 325xi automatic.
it was comfy, but kind of gutless.
the automatic trans really didn't help either:
fastforward a few years ago, i decided to turbo it.
first attempt was with a straight forward bottom mount turbo on an ebay cast manifold, but who cares, bottom mount was a pain in the ass. the oil scavenge pump made me super nervous, and it just sucked to work on.
intake plumbing was also a massive pain due to the crazy stock intake maifold with the throttle body being hidden away below runner 3-4. the only neat thing about that manifold was how easy it was to get to the injectors. i ended up managing the engine with megasquirt3 and terribly hacked up stock harness. the automatic transmission was slightly modified to hold a bit more pressure, but i really didn't push it that much, only about 9 psi was all it ever saw.
the automatic transmission was managed with MegaShift, another megasquirt project that handles the auto transmissions, that was a massive pain as well, code was buggy and just a bad driving experience, so the decision to swap to a manual was made. then i let it sit for 3 years in the garage, or so.
here's all the juicy bits that people will likely want to see:
top mount turbo:
some of the downpipe pieces, the exhaust is vband from a pipe that's attached to the turbo (it's an ebay 5 bolt flange), vband was the only way to make this work. it's 2.5" due to space.
the manifold is a TCD unit made for m50 or m52 engine, mounted upside down, The manifold has a T4 flange, and one of the standard wastegate flanges. To get the turbo up to where it is, there are 2 extenders, a T4 to T3, and T3 to T3
it was the most straightforward way i could get it to mount, and it fits quite nicely.
naturally, with top mount, oil feed is easy:
and oil return is also, easy, as it's gravity powered.
the transmission is a 5 speed ZF (i think), bonus transfer case (non X-drive) bolted to the transmission already (on the top)
when i got it, 5th would not engage, it turned out that the 5th notch piston was completely frozen, perhaps cause it was cold, so i pulled them out, and now waiting for that mechanism replacement to ship from pelican.
clutch disk, cover, and flywheel are some sort of M3 items:
there's obviously other manual swap bits, new pedals, master/hydraulic lines, shifter, new bushings for everything. etc, i won't bother with those as you all have seen that stuff.
now, one of my annoyances when working on the old setup was the intake manifold, so i looked around and got one of those thai M50/M52/M54 manifolds, and it actually fits !
here are some pictures of the new intake manifold, fuel rail bracket, and cable throttle holder bracket:
and mounted on the car, for test fitting:
it is a stock deadhead (returnless-ish) fuel rail with some 660cc MSD injectors with the right connectors to use with stock harness. mount points have been changed, and i made that nifty fuel rail bracket to hold it all down. but a different fuel rail fits (with entry and exit). using the stock fuel pressure regulator/filter that comes with e46 and mounts under the car (boost-referenced)
now, for the management.
originally, when the car ran on megasquirt3, i had rushed the installation, and tapped all the wires under the hood at the harness, soldered to them, cut them, made it look gross, and basically had a really shitty mess of wires that was a pain to diagnose. ms3 worked perfectly fine, however, even ran both VANOS solenoids with tuning for that. I had J&S ultrasafeguard that managed knock, stock coils were ignited using some sort of toyota camry igniter, that megasquirt ran. as far as tuning the engine to run well, megasquirt was amazing, the wiring I created was not.
this time around, i'm doing it slightly different, i'm taking a stock ecu, tracing where stuff goes inside of it on the connector, and putting connectors on the outside that megasquirt will plug into
here is the ignition transistors taken over and wires soldered to the current-limiting transistors.
there is a small surface mount resistor near each transistor that the stock CPU controls these transistors via that has been desoldered.
the same thing has been done to the injector drivers here:
there are two automotive driver ICs with 20 legs each, that control 3 injectors each. legs have been lifted, and i soldered to the bottom of the connector.
same will be done to the vanos solenoid drivers, fan driver, fuel pump driver, idle controller, knock sensors, and whatever else comes up.
the whole point of this is to use a stock engine wiring harness without having to modify it.
i likely missed a thing here or there, if you have questions, let me know, and i'll go take pictures of what i've done, or explain what the plan is.

i left off last time at the motor mount being entirely in the way of freaking everything, and the TRM trick motor mount not fitting. tough **** eh ?
so first thing, make a jig for the stock mount:
it eventually ended up with some holes in it for where the stock mounting holes are, just to be proper.
trm mount in the jig hooked by the rubber mount part:
yeah, that ain't gonna work.
so cut, grind a bunch, and reweld:
they at least look somewhat similar now
moving on, the wastegate housing with the neck and vband at the end, look at those crappy welds
Registered User
add some o2 bungs to it
try it out
should do for now, i know i will be replacing that piece, most likely with a proper wastegate hanging off a tube thing, i've got a real tial lurking around the garage somewhere, just need to track down one of those tubes, and reweld the downpipe. whenever it happens, it happens.
the motor mount hooked up and supporting the engine:
SLIGHTLY better.
although now that i look at it, i think it will hit the rubber mount housing thing if the engine moves around too much, i'll have to check it out and see what the clearance there is.
for now, i'll end up using a 3" -> 2.5" transition at the compressor inlet and running some kind of an air filter.
going to get a few hours of sleep here, and back to the garage. i want to at least start the car today, after making an oil return fitting work.
once it idles, i can scope out some inputs at the harness and start wiring up the fuel controller.
here's the short video:
update on progress is coming shortly.
now that i can think again. onto the update.
compressor inlet pipe comes up here, you can see the air pump blockoff plate there.
oil line runs like yay for now, i'll most likely change it and put a pressure sender there. still not 100% on what instrumentation i want to put inside.
cold side intercooler piping:
what the hell is this sensor ? passenger side front air dam/brake duct/underbumper thing, on the other side around the same spot is the outside temperature sensor, but what is this thing ?
exhaust is almost finished. i took the Y pipe from my supra's old exhaust system and made it fit here:
it's a 2.5" inlet going to 2x 2" pipes
more exhaust goodies. i will use the 2.5" flex section, don't think there's a place for the 2" flex sections anymore though. the 90 degree u-ish bends are 2.5" and will be used to make the rest of the exhaust.
once exhaust is done, i'll be able to really check this thing for leaks and see if i have to rig up a scavenge pump for turbo oil.
i was just able to source some injectors for this. 4x 780cc going into my high boost sentra, 4x 660cc coming out of the sentra, and being added to 2 more 660ccs i have laying around, so fuel won't be a problem once i actually need it ( once ms is installed). enough fuel to blow myself up pretty nicely.
i need to read up further on the DISA in the intake manifold and see if it makes sense to trigger that based on boost via the MS. And see if i can take over vanos in a on/off fashion, i.e. more overlap below certain pressure, etc etc. This might not be possible, as i still need to keep the stock ecu happy enough for it to do ignition timing. This is more just thinking ahead.
In this mess of a manifold, what's an easy way to get manifold pressure from the hoses sticking out without actually pulling the thing off the head ? This would be so much simpler if it was a bit more roomy there. The vac routing diagram on the bottom side of the hood is worthless, maybe realoem's manifold drawings will help some.
anybody know if the brakebooster has TWO check valves ? that would be ideal place for a vac source for me.
antifoulers is how i've fooled other odb2 systems, but who knows here.
i'm also not looking to make this 100% cel free thing, it just would be nice.
finished up the exhaust piping, it all fits and such.
now the real fun begins:
going to tie the oxygen sensor signal wires together, and tie the spare ones out of the way.
bank2 short term trim was 0 and state was in open loop (but fault). i.e. no sensor
there was long term trim as well on bank2. i want to see it work both banks off the same sensor for now. just experimenting here, i won't be needing the stock fuel metering stuff soon. once the sensors are tied together, i'll pull the intake manifold, sort out all the vacuum stuff and start on the megasquirt wiring.
after tying the oxygen sensor together:
no immediate codes detected. remains to be seen.
i think the oil return is not doing so well, so i'm going to see how i can get the scavenge pump up and running here.
picture of all the exhaust and oxygen sensor tying are coming up in a few hours once I'm done with the intake manifold and all the vac routing.
after finishing up the Y pipe to the stock exhaust, this was the missing piece:
flux core welding
vband side:
this is the piece installed:
gaggle of oxygen sensors, will eventually get some antifoulers for the """"rear"""" sensor
engine bay shot in progress
tying the two oxygen sensors together:
taped joint is rear sensors, soldered and bare are the fronts:
i then moved onto the intake manifold, figure it could probably use a good cleaning, idle valve could use some cleaning and just checking over around that area.
stock injector clips are ****ing stupid:
on the right is the stock clip, on the left is the same plug pattern with a proper wire spring thing:
stock injectors and 660's floating around in thing of seafoam
ended the night entirely pissed off cause the intake manifold was resisting removal. i may have left out a bracket that's nowhere to be seen, so i'll try again tomorrow
hmm, could this explain why the bavauto power programmer thing wouldn't work for me ? i bought it a while back before i was going to mod this thing. it never worked, so i just kinda left it laying around.
wideband o2 sensors do things a bit differently and require a controller. the question is also why not get a proper wideband that you know can be trusted.
more hardware:
tilton diff cooler pump mounted on a big piece of aluminum that was cut out of the crashbar
mount it there-ish
drain from turbo:
goes into that handy oil drain right around the dipstick area:
i will most likely pair the scavenge pump via relay with the fuel pump relay and let that decide when the scavenge needs to run.
next up... making an elbow to go from the throttle body to the rest of the cold side. that's going to happen tomorrow.
as well as plugging the vac source for the oil/air/water separator jobie that goes on top of the manifold

i'm to the tuning stage now. the stock ecu is freaking out and retarding timing to 15-20 ATDC, which doesn't play well with temperatures, so i have to take over the ignition, car idles well and drives in boost insanely rich due to untuned map and 660cc injectors.
waiting on parts to take over the stock ignition coils, went to price out a new ls2 coil setup today, they quoted me $1100 for 6 coils, brackets and harness.
the turbo isn't ebay. it's an actual garrett gt3251.
here's some more pictures, not of the bmw but of past projects. the two turbos being compared are sc61 precision and gt3251 that's on the bmw now
i'm actually fine with keeping both. the sentra is the OG, so i'll always hang onto that. it's a built 2.5L 4 pot with 100 mm stroke and a 57 trim t4 compressor. all it needs now is a bigger turbo, bigger exhaust, and sequential fueling from ms3x. plus i built the damn thing in the garage, cylinder deglazing and all with the engine still in the car. so it's also holds some sentimental value.
the supra will get its share eventually, probably in the form of an entirely oversized single turbo that sounds like a jet taking off and has lots of lag and all the goodies to keep that safe, injectors, alky, fuel pumps, engine management.
i'll eventually have to yank the engine out of that car. the engine has 170k miles on it, the car itself has 270k miles. once the engine is out, i'll build it with some beefier internals.
only thing i'm in a hurry right now is getting the bmw project further, but that'll have to wait for 4-5 more days.
crower rods + cp pistons with swaintech goldcoat on top and skirts.
stock internals, the rods bend around 16-ish psi with proper tuning, 320-350ish whp range:
another sentra i built. the block in this one was sleeved, crower rods and CP pistons with the same coat, turbo size comparisons:
one on the car is a precision sc61, the one being held is a gt3251 (this is the turbo going on the bmw, 51mm impeller)
that car was also using LS1 coil packs with firebird spark plug leads
airplane on a treadmill = lie - need airfoil speed.

Edinburgh, Scotland (UPI) Nov 19, 2012
Construction work in a field near Edinburgh, Scotland, has unearthed the ruins of one of Britain's oldest homes, archaeologists say.
The remains, thought to be more than 10,000 years old, were found during excavation works in preparation for building a new bridge across the Firth of Forth, The Independent newspaper reported.
A large oval pit almost 23 feet in length was filled with more than 1,000 flint artifacts including tools and arrowheads, archaeologists said.
A number of holes around the perimeter of the pit would have held wooden posts to support the walls and roof, probably covered with turf, they said.
The site has been dated to the Mesolithic period, around 10,252 years ago.
"The radiocarbon dates that have been taken from this site show it to be the oldest of its type found in Scotland," Rod McCullagh, a senior archaeologist at Historic Scotland, said.

|Home > After Saddam > Article
|Saturday April 19, 2003
Regularly described as Saddam's banker, Barzan could prove to be the key to finding the estimated $US5 billion to $US40 billion ($8 billion to $65 billion) the regime hid in foreign bank accounts during the past 25 years.
According to financial investigators, Barzan created a sprawling money-laundering network of more than 100 accounts while he was the ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva from 1988 to 1998.
The funds were partly used to finance a network of Iraqi agents in Europe and elsewhere, run by Barzan, Western investigators believe.
In Geneva, Barzan was reputed to have been the head of the regime's intelligence operations in Europe, which included acquiring parts and materials for weapons of mass destruction.
Although Barzan's relationship with Saddam and Saddam's son Uday was often tempestuous and he spent many years estranged from them, he is party to many of the regime's secrets.
Such was his prominence that in January 1991 he met the US secretary of state, James Baker, in Geneva for talks aimed at averting the first Gulf war. For the past three years he had been an adviser to Saddam.
Saddam, paranoid about his own safety, surrounded himself with family members, even though relations were often stormy. Barzan was out of favour between 1983 and 1988 and again between 1997 and 1999.
Uday Hussein was also frequently at odds with his uncle and is reputed to have victimised Barzan's daughter. Barzan, worried that Uday was being groomed as Saddam's successor, denounced him in 1995 as "greedy and unfit for power".
The US announcement of his capture initially created surprise because there was speculation last week that he had been killed after the US dropped six "smart" bombs on his home at Ramadi, 110 kilometres west of Baghdad.
US forces last week captured another of Saddam's three half-brothers, Watban, a former interior minister. The third half-brother, Sab'awi Ibrahim Hasan al-Tikriti, is believed to have taken refuge in Damascus, though the Syrian government denies this.

Indians manager Terry Francona hopes he never has to have an advanced brain scan because of all the concussions he had as a kid and the horror stories and magazine articles he's heard and read since. He estimates he suffered four or five and added there are probably a couple more he didn't know about.
"I got so many. It scares me," Francona admitted Wednesday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field before a game against the Chicago White Sox. He was discussing the protocol third baseman/catcher Carlos Santana is going through on the seven-day concussion disabled list when his personal experience came up.
"I got hit a couple times playing ball when I was a kid. One I was out, I didn't know how I got home, a really bad one," Francona said. "I got hit a couple times playing basketball, rebounding, I'd get elbows in the head."
But the one he remembers most can be filed under the category of crazy things teenagers do. He said he dove into the front seat of a car on the way to a high school baseball game.
"You know how everybody yells 'Shotgun!' Some (knucklehead) came in the other way and his knee hit me in the head," Francona said, warning his audience what was to come was scary. "The whole way to the game I was nauseous. But you're 18. When I started to run I actually felt better because it was relieving pressure. So the coach played me the whole game because I told him, 'I feel better when I run.'
"My dad drove me home and I had my head out the window the entire drive throwing up. Can you imagine if I'd have gotten hit in the head in that game?"
That's why Francona might some day say no to tests.
"I don't think I want to know," he said. "As long as I can reel it together between 7 and 10, I'm good to go. The coaches will take care of me the rest of the time."

Ramsey Hatches Senate Plan to Cut Down on Bills
Monday, January 14th, 2013, by Blake Farmer
Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey says he wants to drop the deadline on filing legislation. Photo credit Blake Farmer/WPLN
Members of the state House spent much of their first week in session wrangling over a new cap on how many laws can be proposed. The Senate has a bill-cutting plan of its own for next year.
I like the no bill filing deadline. That way you wont have the duplication because people can look in the hopper and see if something has been filed an sign on with somebody else.
Getting rid of the filing cutoff would allow lawmakers to respond to current events. Ramsey says it would also stop the use of so-called caption bills that can be amended to do just about anything.
The cap on legislation in the House is intended to improve efficiency and save money. Republican leaders have had trouble quantifying the potential savings. And Democrats argue theyre just being marginalized since a limit per lawmaker necessarily means fewer minority proposals.

7 great ways to stay motivated throughout your work day
7 great ways to stay motivated throughout your work day
mail to friend
No matter how much you love your job, even the most engaged employees can occasionally experience slumps throughout the working day in their motivation levels.
Here are 7 ideas to stay focused and enhance your performance when your motivation levels are at a low:
1. Write a list of things to do:
If things feel like they seem to be stacking up on top of you one after the other, an excellent way to stay in check is to write out all your tasks and tick them off as you go along, that way, you can keep track of what has been done and what is yet to be completed. You will also feel a sense of achievement each time you check off a project.
2. Keep an inspirational quote by your work monitor:
Sometimes it's the little things that matter most when trying to stay focused. Print out an inspirational quote, photo or some other little object which will serve as a constant reminder of why you are doing what you are doing, on your desk.
3. Take a quick break to clear your head:
Even the most clear headed of us can get frustrated from time to time. If it's been a particularly stressful morning or afternoon, take a moment to walk away from your desk - either a quick walk outside, or even just to prepare a cup of tea can make a difference and help you refocus when you return.
4. Turn off your emails for an hour:
Emails are such a distracting force in today's working day - recent stats show that the average person spends more than 2 and a half hours of each day just responding to emails! If you have a particularly important task, it can really break your concentration to have email notifications popping up every few minutes, so turn off your inbox for an hour and focus at the task at hand.
5. Clean up your workstation:
A cluttered desk can severely affect your motivation levels, so ensure that you regularly organise your desk items - having half-eaten lunches or old coffee cups and stains on your desk can definitely ebb your motivation
6. Speak to someone who is an 'energiser':
Every office has one - you know, that person who always has a smile on their face and a friendly word to say. Take time to have a chat with someone who is dynamic, driven and can offer words of encouragement.
7. Focus on your 'end game':
Probably the most important on the list! Always keep in mind why you are doing what you're doing. It doesn't matter if the project you're working on is to increase customer engagement, to drive sales growth, or something else entirely, if you don't have a clear idea of what success looks like, how will you know when you have hit it? Create a vision board which includes your personal and work goals - eg. targets and holiday destinations.
It can be hard to stay focused - you're not a robot, and everyone experiences dips in their motivation levels at some stage in their career life. The people who choose to confront this head on are the doers in life, whereas the people who lay low and mope are usually the procrastinators. How do you stay motivated at work?
