Scholarships help students take flight
Local chapter of the Experimental Aviation Association awarded $20,000 in college scholarships
Last week, 13 students from Ventura County walked away with $20,000 for their college education.
The Camarillo chapter of the Experimental Aviation Association awarded the college scholarships last Saturday in its hangar at the Camarillo Airport.
"It is one of the highlights of our year," said Steve Kivo, scholarship chair. "It is the number one thing that we aim for."
The 260-member Camarillo Chapter 723 is one of more than 1,000 EAA chapters worldwide whose aim is to preserve the spirit of aviation. Members build and fly their own planes, and membership is open to anyone enthusiastic about flying, whether they have a pilot's license or not.
The scholarship amount this year was $5,000 more than last year. In 2008, the chapter awarded its first academic scholarships, giving $15,000 to six Ventura County youth studying or planning to study science.
The chapter was able to increase the amount of the scholarships because the Gene Haas Foundation increased its donation to the chapter from $5,000 last year to $10,000 this year, Kivo said.
One of the reasons the chapter exists, he said, is to promote the joy of flying among young people. In addition to the scholarships, EAA members take children on free airplane rides through the Young Eagles program. Proceeds raised through the EAA's annual Air Expo at the Camarillo Airport go into the scholarship fund.
Kivo said 51 students from across the county applied for the chapter's 10 scholarships. The fourperson scholarship committee had such a difficult time narrowing down the field that they decided to award 13 scholarships instead, he said.
"I can't tell you what a great bunch of students this county puts out and I'm talking about every city in this county," Kivo said.
The scholarships ranged from $1,000 to $2,500 and went to high school students from Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Agoura, Oxnard and Ojai and to a college student at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. Students already in college who meet the requirements, including passing an interview, are also eligible.
Kathryn Enriquez of Camarillo will be the first in her family to attend college in the United States.
The scholarship winners— three females and 10 males— come from about every ethnic background one can imagine and are proud of their heritage, Kivo said.
"Kathryn was one of those, and there were several, who brought tears to my eyes," Kivo said. "Her story is an American story."
A 2009 Adolfo Camarillo High graduate, 18-year old Kathryn plans to study bioengineering or human biology at Stanford University in the fall.
"I'm really grateful," Kathryn said of the EAA's $2,500 scholarship. "It was really nice to hear that all my hard work paid off."
Kathryn's parents, natives of the Philippines who were engineering majors at the same college, moved to the U.S. before Kathryn and her 10yearold sister were born. Kathryn's mother is an electrical engineer and her father an aircraft maintenance officer for the Navy.

UK operator Club328 has devised a new way to market charter flights through its new SkyBond program. Customers hand over £1 million ($1.75 million) to be put in an escrow-protected bank account in Club328's name for six years. Club328 gets the interest earned over this time and the customer gets 25 flight hours each year (150 hours total) in one of the company's Raytheon Premier Is.
After six years the customer is guaranteed to get his £1 million back, even if Club328 goes bankrupt. The flight hours are provided with no additional charges and no aircraft positioning fees. Bond holders do not have any shared ownership in the aircraft, so there is no depreciation amount to be accounted for.
Club328 CEO Mike Farge said SkyBond will be attractive to some customers because it ensures completely fixed flight-hour costs over six years. Customers relinquish the interest they could have earned on the £1 million, but they also avoid paying the tax that would have been due on that sum.
Research by AIN into UK retail banks' savings account rates suggests that the £1 million could earn up to £340,000 in interest during the six-year period. Divided among the 150 hours offered by SkyBond, this equates to a flight-hour cost of around £2,267 ($3,967). However, Club328 maintains that, factoring in the tax that would have been due, the per-hour rate is actually closer to £1,600 ($2,800).
Farge said that Club328's main motive for introducing SkyBond is to build a solid customer base and to be able to leverage this with banks it approaches to fund further fleet growth. He said that some SkyBond customers will likely want to fly more than 25 hours each year and they can either buy more ad hoc hours or join the operator's new SkyClub block charter program, which was launched in January.
Club328 currently has two Premier Is and intends to add two more by the end of next month. These are low-hour (about 50 to 100 hours each) pre-owned aircraft that it has bought directly from Raytheon.
The Southampton-based company also operates a pair of Hawker 800s and one Hawker 700, as well as a 15-seat Dornier 328Jet and a 12-seat 328 turboprop twin. It is now seeking to add at least one more 328Jet to its fleet, after having acquired the assets of bankrupt manufacturer AvCraft Aerospace in December.
In January Club328 launched a block-charter program called SkyClub. This offers 10-, 25- and 50-hour blocks in the Premier I, Hawker 800/700 and 328Jet. The rates are all-inclusive, with no positioning costs or management fees.
The entry-level package is 10 hours in the six-seat Premier I for £3,000 ($5,250) per flight hour. In the 328Jet, 50 hours is priced at £5,500 ($9,625) per hour. Club328 is also willing to quote block rates for customers with more complex flight profiles who might require time in a mix of aircraft types.
Officially, SkyClub customers need to give 72 hours' notice of a flight booking to guarantee that their aircraft type is available. However, Club328 said that in practice aircraft would likely be available with just 24 hours' notice. If the chosen type is not available with 72 hours' notice, the operator will provide a free upgrade or offer a smaller aircraft at a reduced per-hour rate. These terms apply to SkyBond customers as well.
Farge said that Club328 is looking to sign up about six SkyBond clients for each of its
Premier Is. It will also likely restrict SkyClub membership to an approximate ratio of six customers per aircraft to avoid having insufficient capacity.
Maintenance Operations
Meanwhile, the company's maintenance subsidiary, 328 Support Services, is tapping fresh demand for overhaul and refurbishment of Dornier 328Jets and 328 turboprops. Farge said that after his company acquired AvCraft's assets, prospective 328 operators have found the confidence to proceed with aircraft purchases comfortable that a support infrastructure is available.
The company, which has support operations at Southampton and the former Dornier/AvCraft plant at Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, is now contracted to refurbish seven 328Jets that had been parked in the desert by regional airlines. These are for an undisclosed private company that is looking to remarket the aircraft. An undisclosed Danish client is now negotiating to take another 10 aircraft.

"Jewtopia" creators Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson are set to write and star in a film loosely based on their playwriting work titled "Chris O'Connell and Adam Lipschitz Lose Their Religion."
Taking a flight from the off-Broadway stage, the creative minds behind hit play "Jewtopia" are ready to enter the big screen.
Yes, Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson, the play's co-creators and lead actors, have reportedly been assigned to both write and star in a film version of their own work following "Shadowboxer" producer Tucker Tooley's successful attempt to pick up the rights to a screenplay loosely based on the play.
Titled "Chris O'Connell and Adam Lipschitz Lose Their Religion", the project concerns a pair of longtime friends who try to help each other in finding soul mates. Things get complicated when both of them ignite their family's chagrin for falling in love with women of different faiths.
Apart from the inclusion of Fogel and Wolfson, there are no words yet on other cast members and director, but it has been revealed that production on the film is scheduled to start in February next year.

Robbie Amell lands a recurring role as Ronnie Raymond or half of the fiery superhero on the CW freshman, while Gina Gershon will guest star as an alleged leader of a drug cartel on the CBS show.
Robbie Amell will bring the heat to "The Flash". The cousin of "Arrow" star Stephen Amell is tapped in a recurring role as Ronnie Raymond or half of the Firestorm team. He will first appear in the third episode.
"I'm so excited to join forces with Greg Berlanti and The CW again on 'The Flash'," the actor, who previously stared on "The Tomorrow People", says of returning to the network. "Being brought into the DC Universe is a dream, I can't wait to get started."
Executive producer Greg Berlanti says, "[Producers] Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg and myself designed the pilot and series to include Ronnie (a.k.a. Firestorm) - and to actually have someone with Robbie.s talent playing the role is beyond exciting. We can't wait for viewers and fans of the character to check it out."
In the comic books, high school student Ronnie and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Martin Stein were caught in a nuclear accident that allowed them to fuse into the "nuclear man" Firestorm. The same accident also transformed Barry Allen into The Flash.
"The Flash" has Grant Gustin in the titular role. It will premiere Tuesday, October 7 at 8 P.M. on The CW. Before that, the pilot will be screened at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con on Wednesday, July 23 and the stars will make appearance during WC/DC presentation on July 26.
In other TV casting news, "Elementary" adds Gina Gershon to its cast for season 3. The "Bound" actress is set to guest star as Elana March, who is dubbed Joan's new nemesis.
Elana is a socialite whom Joan suspects of running a notorious drug cartel. Unable to prove Elana's ties to the cartel's operations, Joan hopes to turn one of Elana's accountants into a key witness for the prosecution. But Joan's pursuit of Elana quickly becomes personal, with Elana demonstrating the lengths to which she's willing to go in order to avoid prison.
Gershon will appear in the season 3 premiere which will air Thursday, October 30 at 10/9c on CBS. Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu return as Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Joan Watson respectively.

text: Aegerion PharmaceuticalsAnother earnings short-squeeze candidate is biotechnology and drugs player Aegerion Pharmaceuticals ( AEGR), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday before the market open. There are currently no analysts' estimates available for Aegerion Pharmaceuticals on the revenue front, but the company is forecasted to post a loss of 63 cents per share. Aegerion is another heavily shorted stock that's been uptrending crazy strong heading into its earnings report this week. This stock has exploded higher during the last six months, with shares up 117%. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Aegerion Pharmaceuticals is pretty high at 12.1%. That means that out of the 21.29 million shares in the tradable float, 2.73 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 10.2%, or by about 252,000 shares. If the bears are caught pressing their bets too hard into a bullish quarter, then shares of AEGR could rip significantly higher post-earnings. From a technical perspective, AEGR is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending very strong for the last five months, with shares soaring higher from its low of $13.50 to its intraday high of $31.99 a share. During that uptrend, shares of AEGR have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. If you're bullish on AEGR, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out to a new 52-week high with heavy upside volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 477,798 shares. If that breakout hits, then AEGR could possibly trend well north of $35 a share. I would avoid AEGR or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below some key near-term support levels at $28.11 to $27.51 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then AEGR will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $25.92 to $22 a share.

Parliament will be given another say on whether to give prisoners the vote as the deadline for Britain to comply with a European ruling on the controversial issue looms, according to reports.
The UK's current blanket ban on prisoners voting has been judged as unlawful by The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and officials in Strasbourg have given the Government until Friday to comply with the ruling.
Last February, the Commons called by an overwhelming margin of 234 to 22 for the blanket ban to be maintained, while David Cameron has flatly ruled-out the option of handing criminals back their democratic rights.
MPs will this week be given a fresh chance to vote on the issue when the Government introduces a draft bill. The bill, to be published on Thursday, will give MPs three options, according to The Daily Telegraph. They will be votes for prisoners who have been imprisoned for four years or less, votes for prisoners who have been imprisoned for six months or less, or no votes for prisoners at all.
There is a risk that this week's Commons vote could set up another clash with the ECHR, who could fine the Government if it does not comply with its ruling. Attorney General Dominic Grieve has warned against defying the Strasbourg court, saying it's ruling imposes an international legal obligation on the UK.
But the Prime Minister has made it clear he would not be letting prisoners get the vote, telling the Commons last month: "I do not want prisoners to have the vote, and they should not get the vote - I am very clear about that. If it helps to have another vote in Parliament on another resolution to make it absolutely clear and help put the legal position beyond doubt, I am happy to do that. But no one should be in any doubt: prisoners are not getting the vote under this Government."
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "Is it wise for the Government to flout international law, face a substantial fine and millions in mounting compensation claims, ignore the advice of its Attorney General, prison governors, bishops to, and inspectors of, prison, and take up Parliamentary time and taxpayers' money in order to stop sentenced prisoners from acting responsibly by voting in democratic elections?"
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said a vote on legislation would strengthen the UK's argument that it should retain its ban - which is backed by Labour.
"You have to keep going back to the European Court on this because I think the job of the European Court is to look at what is proportionate, what is responsible," she told the BBC's Sunday Politics. "We haven't passed laws on this before, even though we have passed motions, and I think when we do so, the European Court should look at it again."
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "The Government is considering how best to proceed following the judgment of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in Scoppola. An announcement will be made to Parliament shortly."

NEW YORK (Dec. 10)
Soviet emigration officials Wednesday told an unspecified number of Moscow Jewish refuseniks to reapply to emigrate even though their relatives have refused to sign waivers of financial obligation.
But it was unclear whether the waiver, known by refuseniks as the "poor relatives" clause, was officially rescinded.
New York City Councilman Noach Dear said it was. He informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Wednesday that a spokesperson in the office of Konstantin Kharchev, chairman of the Soviet Council of Religious Affairs, told him by telephone from Moscow that the requirement of a financial waiver from relatives was being abandoned.
He said the spokesperson related that the emigration office was calling refuseniks and telling them to reapply for visas. Dear estimated that up to 500 people could be affected.
The waiver, clause 24 of the codified rules, for emigration published in January, has been an integral part of the process of obtaining emigration visas, and its absence has prevented many refuseniks from receiving exit visas.
Relatives who do not wish their relatives to emigrate frequently refuse to sign the waiver even if financial obligations are not at issue.
However, a long-time Moscow refusenik told the Long Island Committee for Soviet Jewry that only members of a seminar group founded by Alia Zonis had been notified they may reapply, and that refuseniks were largely considering it a "delay tactic" at the time of the U.S.-Soviet summit meetings.
But Dear said refusenik Vladimir (Zeev) Dashevsky of Moscow, who is not part of Zonis' group, said he received a phone call from the Moscow emigration office Wednesday morning telling him to reapply for a visa. Dashevsky added that some of his friends had also received similar calls, and that the news had been announced in the media.
He told his daughter, Irina Dashevsky Kara-Ivanov, a former refusenik living in Israel since May, by telephone Tuesday night that he would actually receive visas.
"I hope this is a good sign," she said, "but I will believe it only when I see my father in Israel. . . We would like to believe that there are positive changes in the Soviet Union and that there is real glasnost and democracy."

Where's the Gold Online Version
Where's the Gold is an exceedingly popular Aristocrat poker machine that remains a regular sight in the bars, pubs and clubs of Australia. The unmistakable sound effects are what quickly draw players to the game, but it is the features, bonuses and gameplay that keeps them coming back for more.

The Wild West theme is of course among the most notable out there and while it has not often been imitated, players definitely have options.

As with so many games from around this time, what really allows Where's the Gold to stand out in the crowd is the bonus round.

A whole cast of characters is presented on the screen and players are invited to choose one to join them as ten free games play out. While the reels spin, the character will be working away to see what treasure is around. Among the potential extras that they can uncover are additional spins, multipliers, bonus wilds and even extra cash.

Online Pokies with 25 Win Lines
1. Alternative – Gladiator Online Pokie
Pokies with 25 win lines have become more and more common over recent years, to the point that the betting system is now considered almost commonplace on any modern game. This is good news for fans of Where's the Gold, as the likes of Gladiator can be set up in just the same way, although this time with an Ancient Roman twist rather than the Wild West.
2. Alternative – Mega Fortune Online Pokie
Mega Fortune by Net Entertainment shares the very same layout while also managing to pack in a highly lucrative progressive jackpot. The luxurious theme could not be further than that of Where's the Gold, but the graphical quality of the game is more than enough to keep even demanding Aussie players entertained.
Wild West Themed Pokies That Can Be Played Online
1. Alternative – Dead or Alive Online Pokie
Another Net Entertainment offering, Dead or Alive is perhaps the closest that online poker machine players can come to the sheer brilliance of the theme on Where's the Gold. While played over only nine win lines, the presence of cowboy hats and sheriff badges will make fans of the original Aristocrat classic feel right at home.

Hungary's parliament on Tuesday elected Pal Schmitt as the next President of the Republic of Hungary.
Schmitt, who has been speaker of the new parliament, was nominated by the governing Fidesz-Christian Democratic party alliance.
In the secret vote, Schmitt received 263 votes while his Socialist challenger Andras Balogh got 59 votes from among the 386 deputies.
Only 322 votes were valid: radical nationalist party Jobbik announced before the vote that they would leave the ballot blank while green party Politics Can Be Different refused to pick up their ballots because they believed that the candidates listed on the slip were unsuitable.
This means that Schmitt, a Fidesz party stalwart, only received support from the Fidesz-Christian governing alliance.
Schmitt, 68, is a former diplomat and Olympic fencing champion, who is to take office on August 6 after President Laszlo Solyom's term expires on August 5.
Whereas the post of president is largely ceremonial in Hungary, Schmitt will have a role to play in certain constitutional matters. He can, for example, choose to send legislation to the constitutional court for review.
Fidesz is planning sweeping changes to the constitution itself and to the way constitutional judges are selected.
Before the vote, Schmitt said that Hungarian society expected its president to be open to cooperation and to be close to the people, someone who can be approached and who always stands ready for dialogue.
Schmitt, who has been speaker of Hungary's new parliament, emphasised his desire for impartiality, and said that the president should help all parties to perform to the best of their ability.
The candidate repeated his earlier position that he did not wish to act as a counterweight to the government but to adopt a balanced approach while easing any possible political tensions.
Schmitt also repeated that he did not wish to "hinder the momentum of the government" and added that he trusted the laws parliament adopted would stand the test of constitutionality.

I've been looking at a pitcher's "stuff" using pitchf/x data recently, and here's how I would rank the top five starters of 2009 by stuff:
1. Clayton Kershaw
2. Brett Anderson
3. A.J. Burnett
4. Felix Hernandez
5. Zack Greinke
Kershaw might be a step above the field.
1. Matt Thornton
2. Jonathan Broxton
3. Kevin Jepsen
4. Brian Wilson
5. Mariano Rivera
Small Samples
1. Henry Rodriguez
2. Daniel Bard
3. Juan Morillo
4. Joel Zumaya
5. Daniel Schlereth
Rodriguez in 75 pitches threw 90% fastballs averaging 99 MPH.
Now, if you'll allow me, I have a couple of questions for you, the reader.
First, do you think that a left-handed pitcher who throws 94 has better stuff than a right-handed pitcher who throws 94?
Also, some pitches are devastating against same-handed batters, but useless against opposite-handed batters. Should the sweeping slider be labeled a *nasty* pitch against same-handed batters and a mediocre pitch against opposite-handed batters? Or should it be regarded as a decent pitch on average, since it has the same characteristics no matter against whom it's thrown.

Failed listed resources companies are finding a profitable future above ground – in technology.
Since January, at least eight struggling resources companies, including
Last week, Perth-based
Operating conditions are difficult for the small end of the resources sector. The median spend on exploration activity fell 27 per cent in the first quarter, BDO's March Explorer Quarterly Cash Update said, noting that it was the biggest such decrease since it started looking at the trends.
Perth-based analyst Peter Strachan estimates that more than two thirds of listed resources companies have less than $2 million net cash.
"Over the last few years there has been a capital strike," Mr Strachan said. "A lot of exploration companies are sitting around watching the paint dry and thinking about how to make some money."
Resource development company
Perth tech entrepreneur Zenya Tsvetnenko has used backdoor takeovers to list two of his companies this year. Earlier this month, failed graphic explorer
In March, Mr Tsvetnenko's Digital BTC became the country's first bitcoin business to trade on the ASX after a backdoor listing through Perth-based oil and gas explorer Macro Energy.
Mergers and acquisitions in the energy, mining and utilities sector in Australia increased 64 per cent in the year ended June 30, according to an M&A trend report from The Mergermarket Group.
Mr Strachan said backdoor listings were a quick and easy way for companies to join the ASX, giving them access to cash and the spread of at least 300 shareholders required to be listed.
"They can be a good play for both the companies and investors as long as the shell company is 'clean'," Mr Strachan said.
"Success depends on the business that it is being turned into and the quality of the people coming into it. Generally a lawyer will check for skeletons and clean out the body before the rebirth."
Mr Tsvetnenko said he looked at a number of shell vehicles when looking to list Mpire Media but settled with Lithex because it "ticked all of the boxes".
"One thing is to make sure that there aren't many shares on issue," he said.
"It's also a bonus if a company has cash already in the kitty because you don't have to raise so much.
He said that it was vital to know there were no outstanding issues that could harm the company in the future.
"You also look at the background to the company and make sure ... a lawsuit isn't going to pop up and it doesn't have weird assets that you can't get rid of."
Charles Fear, one of West Australia's leading merger and acquisition advisors, said he expected the number of backdoor listings through resources companies to increase this year.

For Cisco Unified Presence Server 1.0(3), you can perform many common system administration functions through the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System.
This chapter comprises the following topics:
•Operating System Status and Configuration
Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration allows you to configure and manage the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System by doing these tasks:
•Check software and hardware status.
•Check and update IP addresses.
•Ping other network devices.
•Manage NTP servers.
•Upgrade system software and options.
•Restart the system.
The following sections describe each operating system function in more detail.
You can access Cisco Unified Presence Server Administration, Cisco Unified Presence Server Serviceability, and Cisco Unified Communications Administration by using the following browsers:
•Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later
•Netscape Navigator version 7.1 or later
Note Cisco does not support or test other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox.
From the Show menu, you can check the status of various operating system components, including
•Cluster and nodes
•Installed software and options
For more information see Chapter 3, "Platform Status and Configuration."
From the Settings menu, you can view and update the following operating system settings:
•Ethernet—Updates the IP addresses and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client settings that were entered when the application was installed.
•NTP Server settings—Configures the IP addresses of an external NTP server; add or delete an NTP server.
•SMTP settings—Configures the SMTP host that the operating system will use for sending e-mail notifications.
For more information see Chapter 4, "Settings."
From the Restart menu, you can choose from the following options for restarting or shutting down the system:
•Switch Versions—Switches the active and inactive disk partitions and restarts the system. You normally choose this option after the inactive partition has been updated and you want to start running a newer software version.
•Current Version—Restarts the system without switching partitions.
•Shutdown System—Stops all running software and shuts down the server.
Note This command does not power down the server. To power down the server, press the power button.
For more information see Chapter 5, "System Restart."
The operating system security options enable you to manage security certificates and Secure Internet Protocol (IPSec). From the Security menu, you can choose the following security options:

BERLIN (Reuters) - In the consensus-driven world of German politics it is rare for aspiring leaders to campaign openly for the privilege of leading their party into an election. Candidates are anointed behind closed doors, keeping internal rivalries out of public view.
That is why Peer Steinbrueck's push to grab the mantle of his party, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), and take on Angela Merkel in the next federal vote in 2013 has stirred up such a peculiar mix of angst and excitement in Berlin.
Until the euro zone debt crisis hit with full force, Merkel seemed untouchable. But with her cautious "step-by-step" leadership in Europe under attack and the euro zone on the brink of fracturing, she is no longer assured of a third term.
Steinbrueck, a 64-year old with a quick wit and combative streak who as finance minister from 2005-2009 led Berlin's response to the global financial crisis, has seized on Merkel's weakness, launching a very public drive - book launch included - to convince Germans, and his own party, that he's the man to beat her.
His message is simple: where Merkel has been hesitant, he would be decisive, bringing the vision and verve that has been sorely lacking in Berlin since the debt crisis erupted.
Voters seem to be paying attention. According to the latest Politbarometer survey for ZDF television, Steinbrueck has leap-frogged Merkel to become the most popular politician in Germany.
Were he to go head-to-head with her, 45 percent of Germans would back him against 42 percent for Merkel, a DeutschlandTrend poll for ARD television showed this month.
"Politics goes in cycles. After Gerhard Schroeder, people wanted someone like Merkel, with less machismo and a bit more reserve," said Frank Decker, a political scientist at Bonn University, referring to Merkel's SPD predecessor.
"After eight years of Merkel they may want someone who slams their fist on the table and isn't afraid to call the shots. Steinbrueck certainly gives people the impression that he would offer clearer leadership."
At a time when some experts predict the euro zone could implode in a matter of weeks, it seems premature to start worrying about a German election that is nearly two years off.
But if the crisis has shown anything, it is that Germany's influence in Europe is greater than at any time since World War Two. If the currency bloc goes up in flames before 2013, the person sitting in the Chancellery in Berlin two years from now will have huge influence over how Europe rebuilds and recovers.
If the euro zone holds together until then, Germany's next leader will have responsibility for keeping it whole and shaping what kind of union it becomes. Put simply, a leadership change in Berlin could have major implications for Europe's future.
As finance minister Steinbrueck, a tall man with sparse, spiky hair that gives him a perpetual just-woke-up look, made a name for himself by speaking his mind and ruffling feathers.
When Nicolas Sarkozy gate-crashed a meeting of euro zone finance ministers in 2007, Steinbrueck took the opportunity to openly criticise his budget plans, infuriating the French president.
In the weeks after the bankruptcy of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers in 2008, he drew the ire of Washington by blaming the United States for spawning the financial crisis and predicting the end of its days as a financial superpower.
Perhaps his biggest clash was with Switzerland. During a 2009 drive to root out tax havens, he likened Germany's southern neighbour to "Indians" running scared from the cavalry. The remarks led a member of the Swiss parliament to compare him to the Nazis.
Steinbrueck hasn't let up since leaving the government. He made headlines only a few months ago for loudly heckling his successor Wolfgang Schaeuble during a speech in the Bundestag.
"If you want to become chancellor, you better learn some manners," Schaeuble shot back icily for all to hear.
To get a feel for Steinbrueck, one need look no further than his favourite film "The Deer Hunter", famous for its high-adrenaline Russian roulette scene with actors Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken in a Vietcong prisoner of war camp.
"He is someone who loves to speak frankly, he enjoys provocation," said Baerbel Hoehn, a lawmaker from the Greens who was state environment minister in Steinbrueck's cabinet when he was premier of the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia. "This has advantages and disadvantages."
His strident personality, and his centrist views, have made Steinbrueck a controversial figure within the SPD and convincing colleagues in his own party to back him may prove his biggest challenge.
Traditional leftists are still angry at him for supporting an increase in the retirement age as finance minister. They were horrified at the suggestion in his 2010 book "The Bottom Line" that the SPD should distance itself from unions, tantamount to heresy in a party with strong historical ties to labour.
Others blame Steinbrueck for his role in the ouster of left-leaning former party chairman Kurt Beck in 2008.
The SPD's left wing is engaged in a rear-guard campaign to thwart his candidacy before it gathers more momentum. They make clear in off-the-record chats they would prefer party chairman Sigmar Gabriel or parliamentary leader Frank-Walter Steinmeier to lead them into the 2013 election.
"I don't believe the argument that he's the only one who can win. Steinbrueck fascinates people and has a hard-core fan base, but he also has more opponents than the others," a member of the SPD executive told Reuters, on condition he not be identified.
"With Steinbrueck as our candidate, the question is whether core SPD voters would back the party," he added. "We would see many traditional supporters staying at home and others defecting to the Left or Pirate parties. Our biggest problem isn't stealing conservative voters, it's preventing these defections."
The problem for SPD leftists is that their preferred challengers may have little chance against Merkel.
Gabriel suffers from stubbornly low popularity ratings and Steinmeier, a former foreign minister, holds the ignominious distinction of having delivered the worst result for the party -- 23 percent -- in the post-war era when he took on Merkel in 2009.
Steinbrueck's public lobbying for the top job -- last month he came out with a new book co-authored by former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt -- has put the party leadership in a quandary.
If they opt for another candidate, going against the polls and the wishes of the ageing but still influential Schmidt, who has publicly endorsed Steinbrueck, they leave themselves open to accusations of sabotaging their best chance of victory in 2013.
They would also look out of touch with modern political trends. In neighbouring France, the SPD's leftist counterparts, the Socialists, just staged a fully transparent American-style primary to choose a candidate to challenge Sarkozy next year.
An SPD party congress next week in Berlin, when Steinbrueck, Gabriel and Steinmeier will all give closely-watched speeches, may offer a first indication of which way the party is heading. Officially, the SPD says it will wait another year before naming Merkel's challenger.
Merkel's advisers are watching closely as the drama unfolds.
One of her top aides told Reuters on condition of anonymity that the expectation in the Chancellery was that Gabriel would end up as the SPD candidate because of his skills as a campaigner and the broad support he enjoys in the party.
"Merkel knows Steinbrueck's strengths but she also knows his weaknesses," the aide said. "A very specific part of the population likes him, but he's not a 'man of the people' and he can be provoked easily."
Manfred Guellner, head of the Forsa polling group, said he didn't believe anyone in the SPD had a chance of beating Merkel, saying the party had "zero chance" with Steinbrueck.
But Steinbrueck's supporters believe he would be a formidable opponent, especially in the midst of a financial crisis that Merkel herself has said may be Europe's toughest challenge since World War Two.
It was Steinbrueck, they point out, who stood next to Merkel in the Chancellery on a grey Sunday in October 2008 to announce that the government was guaranteeing all private savings deposits in Germany.
This "line-in-the-sand" announcement at the height of the global financial crisis helped calm the situation. After a series of bank bailouts, Germany regained its footing and bounced back strongly from the turmoil unleashed by the collapse of Lehman a month before.
Three years later, Germany finds itself in what could be an even deeper crisis. The euro zone, launched to much fanfare 13 years ago as a model of economic cooperation, risks splintering apart and dealing Europe a humiliating setback.
Steinbrueck and the SPD have been calling for months for bolder steps from the government, including the introduction of jointly issued euro bonds.
But Germany, Europe and its partners are still waiting for a game-changing announcement from Merkel and her centre-right government -- a coalition that now includes the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) of Guido Westerwelle and Philipp Roesler.
"I can already hear the speech he'll give in the market square," said a senior German official who worked closely with Steinbrueck during his time as finance minister and believes he is the only SPD politician with a chance of beating Merkel.
"We may not have gotten it all right, he'll say, but when I was at Merkel's side we guaranteed your bank deposits, we overcame Lehman Brothers and Germany emerged strong from the crisis. Now she's got Guido and little Philipp at her side and look what's happened."

In laser Compton scattering systems, the limitation to higher average brightness is the low repetition rate of high-power lasers. We propose and demonstrate for the first time, as far as we know, a simple method by which x-ray yield could be enhanced nearly 2 orders of magnitude per second. The method, utilizing cholesteric liquid crystals as the entrance mirror of the laser storage cavity, can be used not only for storing femtosecond laser pulses with a peak power of several terawatts, but also to make high coupling efficiency and energy utilization efficiency accessible.

As we gear up for NeNe Leakes' second wedding to Gregg on I Dream of NeNe, the couple has a lot of issues to resolve before they walk back down the aisle. Between prenups and drama with Gregg's grown children, the couple certainly have some work to do with Dr. Jeff. Thankfully, NeNe and Gregg have a strong support group in their wedding party…or do they?
Both the Neenster and Gregg discuss their friends in their respective Bravo blogs, and Gregg expresses his appreciation to his "basement ballers" for standing by him as he works to get his family back together. NeNe writes, "My lunch date with some of my Atlanta Bridesmaids: This was supposed to be a Sex in the City lunch with my girls to celebrate my getting married again. Diana Gowins is a longtime girlfriend of mine with whom I've shared a lot. We have been really close over the years. I love her like a sister! We like to call her the protective one, the security, the gate keeper, and Miss Territorial because Diana always questions when someone new is around. She has an uncomfortable attitude when new people are introduced into our circle."

August 12: What Are We Wearing Today?
BIG NEWS! I went to the dentist this morning for the first time in seven years — don't do this, by the way, it is very stupid — and by some sort of miracle or just good genetics, I have no new cavities! Also, not much has changed in dentistry since the last time I went — it is still a viscerally awful experience. No matter what Ami says. Anyway, let's see what we're wearing today!

You can do a lot to manage your asthma and improve your quality of life. You will need to work with your healthcare provider to develop a plan. But it's up to you to put this plan into action.
You need to control the inflammation in your lungs. You also need to relieve symptoms when you have them. These are long-term tasks. But the more you stay in control, the better you'll feel. If you don't stay in control:
Asthma symptoms may cause you to miss school, work, or activities that you enjoy.
Asthma flare-ups can be dangerous, even deadly.
Uncontrolled asthma makes it more likely that you will need emergency department and in-hospital care.
Uncontrolled asthma may cause permanent damage to your lungs.
Peak flow monitoring helps measure how open your airways are.
Taking medication helps you control your asthma and relieve symptoms when they occur.
Using an Asthma Action Plan will help you keep track of and respond to asthma symptoms.
Avoiding triggers—the things that inflame your airways—will help prevent symptoms and flare-ups.
Your healthcare provider will help you prepare, and when needed, update and Asthma Action Plan. Your plan tells you what to do based on your current symptoms. If you don't have an Asthma Action Plan, or if yours isn't up-to-date, make sure you talk with your healthcare provider.

Steve Jobs
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to c

UNDERCITY New York City urban exploration w STEVE DUNCAN, dir. Andrew Wonder
This is a film I made after some adventures underground with Steve Duncan (undercity.org) last summer. We also have a teaser video which you can watch on my vimeo page (vimeo.com/5752275). Steve and I just completed another underground expedition with Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erling_Kagge). It was featured in a three page article on the front page of the NY Times metro section and was written by Alan Feuer (nytimes.com/2011/01/02/nyregion/02underground.html). We were also covered by NPR's Jacki Lyden who's report will be aired on 1/2/11 and posted on NPR's site. Shot on a canon 5d mkii with canon 24 f/1.4 (version 1) with the zacuto rapid fire, Zoom H4N and a sennheiser g2 wireless lav. The zacuto was really great at being there when I needed it but also staying out of the way. Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching!

TAUNTON St Andrews cricketers are praying for a dry spell after vandals caused damage costing £900 to their covers at the Wyvern Club.
The Saints 1sts XI play in Premier One of the West of England Premier League, the highest in the area, in addition to which they run three other senior sides on a Saturday, a Sunday XI and six age group sides, two at Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15.
The covers have been in place for six years and when they were put in place they cost £3,500 – all of which came from fundraising activities.
The cost of repairing the damage will be £900, money that will have to be provided from club funds.
Richard Brice, the club chairman, said: "I think it is just so disappointing that somebody has seen it fit to vandalise our covers.
"The Saints provide cricket for a large number of players of all ages and it will be these people who will ultimately have to pay for the repair of the covers.
"All other cricket clubs in the area need to be aware that there are vandals out there and if anybody knows who is responsible they can contact me on 07870-583123."

Apple's New Fingerprint Reader With Touch ID On The iPhone 5S
So the rumors were correct, a fingerprint reader will be found on the home button of the latest iPhone 5S.
You can simply hover your finger over the home button and it will detect your fingerprint. The details of your fingerprint are claimed to be stored locally, however, Apple did not go into too much detail about this; they simple quoted that the data would 'not be stored on Apple Servers'.
We can expect to see Touch ID opening doors to developers to allow implementation into banking and shopping apps, but this will need to be carefully controlled. Apple currently offer the fingerprint unlock for purchases in iTunes App Store, and the iBooks Store as well as unlocking your device using it.
Finally, Touch ID can store multiple fingerprints giving multiple people access to your device. This will evidently lead to your kids buying apps or family members reading your texts. Furthermore, it can read a finger print at any orientation, useful I guess if you ever want to use your phone upside-down.
This animation shows how Apple managed to neatly pack all the gadgets inside there:

This course examines the United States food policies governing the use of diet and health information in commercial communications. In the mid-1980s, the food industry began, for the first time in modern history, to use health claims in food advertising and labeling. This proved to be a highly effective marketing method for the food industry. However, the industries use of health claims product promotion created public controversy, and policies – a comprehensive new labeling law as well as many new FDA, USDA and FTC regulations– governing food advertising and labeling that use nutritional and medical information. The object of this course is to review current food policies governing health claims and the regulatory regime controlling their use in commercial communications.

The Deep Blue Sea
Run time 98 minutes.
OK for children.
Director Terence Davies attempts to translate Terence Rattigan's 1952 play about a misbegotten love triangle into film. Shot as if it were a play, Hestor (Rachel Weisz) is a 40-year-old woman who leaves a life of ease with her husband, Sir William (Simon Russell Beale), to live with a young ex-RAF pilot, Freddie (Tom Hiddleston).
Rattigan's play apparently showed a lot more of the reasons Hestor and Freddie act the way they act than Davies' film does. As a result the way they act is virtually incomprehensible. This boils down to the story of three people, two of whom love someone who is not worthy of their love. The film shows Hestor desperately in love with Freddie, but all we see, except for an early scene of them naked in bed together, is Freddie treating Hestor despicably. Similarly, Sir William's unrequited love for Hestor is almost as inexplicable, considering the cold way she constantly rejects him.
The film needs a lot more exposition of why Hestor would be so deeply in love with Freddie. To the ordinary moviegoer her desperate love makes no sense whatsoever. Instead of exposing how the relationship between Hestor and Freddie developed, Davies spends enormous amounts of time and scene after scene after scene of Hestor thinking and looking out the window and thinking some more and then thinking some more.
Whenever she tries to get Freddie to come back to her, he always responds that if he comes back to her she'll just start talking. But we never see her talking. If Davies had given a couple of scenes of Hestor talking to Freddie it would show what Freddie was complaining about. But as Davies shot the movie, the audience doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
Similarly, the film starts out showing Hestor hopelessly trapped in a cheerless marriage with Sir William, who looks to be twice her age, and with Sir William equally hopelessly cowed by his domineering mother. One wonders how Hestor lasted as long as she did as Sir William's wife.
Rattigan apparently intended his play to be an exploration of how the idea of love is inexplicable in terms of logic. The problem with the way that Davies tells the story is that the reason for the love among these three people is never shown. If one can't understand the basis for the germination of the love that apparently developed, the rest of the story makes no sense.
About the only positive things I can say about this film are that the acting is very good and the ambience is fittingly depressing. Hestor is an inscrutable protagonist and the ending is appropriately abstruse.

Chennai: Gary Kirsten, Team Indias newest coach, has set goals for the entire year.
According to The Telegraphs sources, Kirsten has asked the Anil Kumbles and Mahendra Singh Dhonis to aim at winning everything.
The first target is South Africa, a team whose colours Kirsten wore with distinction for a number of years.
The series against South Africa, featuring three Tests, begins here on Wednesday.
Kirsten, one understands, is a one-on-one specialist and so nobody need feel neglected in any manner.
Its no surprise that Kirsten is looking to Paddy Upton, the mental conditioning coach hand-picked by him, for help in quickly settling down
The Kirstens, by the way, intend doing what Greg Chappell did making Bangalore their base in India. Kirsten and his wife, Deborah, have two kids and the family is in Chennai right now.
Many are, of course, hoping that theres nothing more in common between Chappell and his full-time successor.
