Kevin Garnett's biggest fan might be in the same locker room.
As we get set for an interesting offseason that involves figuring out the futures of Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, we at least know exactly where Pierce stands on everything.
The longtime Celtic made it clear after Saturday's Game 7 loss to the Heat that he wants another crack at a title with the Big Three intact. In fact, Pierce seems to feel that Garnett may have brought his career to another level.
"He's done everything for my career, just his locker room presence, his desire, his determination," Pierce told The Boston Globe. "Just his leadership. I said before, when Kevin first got here, he really changed the culture of everything we did around here, you know, practice habits to the discipline. He made everybody accountable, from the ball boys to the chefs to the guy who flew the plane. Everybody was accountable."
It's pretty obvious that Garnett is an intense guy, but who knew the chefs were open to catching heat if they didn't perform? In any event, Danny Ainge has some big-time decisions to make this offseason, and the Big Three's performance this postseason certainly isn't making it easy to break them up.
Garnett, in particular, was fantastic, showing that he's still one of the game's elite big men.
"It's been tremendous to have him around, just the culture he brought, you know? It'd be great to end my career with Kevin," Pierce said. "I have a couple years left, and who knows what his future's going to bring. Management can do something to bring him back and get us the pieces we need to get over the top. If not, it's been a tremendous run."
Pierce hit the nail on the head. Despite a disappointing finish to this season, the Big Three era has been something special, with the Celtics advancing to three Eastern Conference Finals and two NBA Finals.
We'll see if there's still more to come.
This guy's fired up.
I've never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight.
–Promoter Bob Arum, clearly not a fan of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley decision
That's a showdown I want to see.

"All Told is a clever title. It's a tidy summation of the nature of free improvisation: in performance, nothing's hidden-all is there. Usually, recordings allow musicians an opportunity to edit, to tidy up some of life's "accompanying messiness," as Eddie Prévost muses. Still, many improvisers don't drastically edit, do multiple takes, or otherwise attempt to neaten things. In a way, it would defeat the purpose of the undertaking. Freely improvising is about chasing down an ideal, that of the singular musical experience. It can be a painfully fleeting thing, and rough edges and uncertainty are simply part of the chase. So it's in this spirit of full disclosure that All Told presents a complete performance by Prévost, Evan Parker, and John Edwards. You'd be hard pressed to find many unsure steps here, though.All Told is a spontaneous performance, but in many ways it's among the jazziest things these guys have done in a number of years. After a sustained focus on bowed cymbals and small gestures of percussion, it's nice to hear Prévost behind a full kit again. Where his percussion work is spare, often pregnant with silence, his drumming is busy and (refreshingly) not afraid to swing if need be. In their review of the Parker/Prévost duo Most Materialls, Brian Morton and Richard Cook note how strongly Coltrane is evoked. The same is true here. Parker sticks solely to tenor, working with well-spaced sonic parcels, skittering packets of notes that seem to ricochet unpredictably off everything they meet. Like Coltrane, Parker deals in density of sound rather than individual notes, a harmonic atmosphere that's difficult to parse but endlessly fascinating.Edwards, as usual, is brain-numbingly good. There's a primal physicality to his bass playing that clearly enlivens his playing mates. A working bassist extraordinaire, hopefully someday he'll receive the accolades he deserves for the legacy he's been humbly crafting. Occasionally the venue seems to swallow some of the finer details of his playing, but there's a direct line in his energy that refuses to be obscured.As the subtitle reveals, All Told is to be the first in a series of albums, all captured from an on-going concert series started by Prévost last year. Parker is the benchmark for remarkable saxophonists in this day and age, and the natural starting point. We've been fortunate to share in countless "meetings" with these musicians over the years (though the infrequency with which these three have played together is baffling), and any excuse to bring great talents together is obviously welcome. Keep calling your meetings, Eddie. All Told sets the bar high. But somehow, I don't think that will be a problem."-Dan Sorrells, freejazz-Stef
Artist Biographies:
• Show Bio for John Edwards
"After taking up the bass, around 1987, John Edwards co-formed The Pointy Birds who went on to win awards for their music for The Cholmondeleys and Featherstonehaughs dance troupes. The group appeared at festivals in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Moers, Leverkusen, Copenhagen. Around 1990, Edwards played his first gigs with London improvisers such as Roger Turner, Lol Coxhill, Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton.
Between 1990 and 1995 Edwards was a member of three touring groups simultaneously: B-Shops For The Poor, The Honkies and GOD. During this period he also became an increasingly regular player on the London improvised music scene and performed his first solo gigs; he composed and performed music theatre with the bass and cello duo The Great Explorers, street-busked a lot and appeared at many more festivals in Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Czech, etc.
Since 1995 John Edwards has become a "mainstay" of the London scene, playing with just about everybody, an activity that has seen him clocking up between 150 and 200 gigs a year. He has become regular player with Evan Parker, in many groupings, and with Tony Bevan, Veryan Weston, and Elton Dean, often in collaboration with Mark Sanders on percussion. He has become a more frequent player on the European (and festival) scene, appearing at Taktlos, Ulrichsburg, Nickelsdorf, Budapest, New Zealand and in the USA. He continues to work on solo performances."-EFI (http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/musician/medwards.html)

• Show Bio for Evan Parker
"Evan Parker was born in Bristol in 1944 and began to play the saxophone at the age of 14. Initially he played alto and was an admirer of Paul Desmond; by 1960 he had switched to tenor and soprano, following the example of John Coltrane, a major influence who, he would later say, determined "my choice of everything". In 1962 he went to Birmingham University to study botany but a trip to New York, where he heard the Cecil Taylor trio (with Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray), prompted a change of mind. What he heard was "music of a strength and intensity to mark me for life ... l came back with my academic ambitions in tatters and a desperate dream of a life playing that kind of music - 'free jazz' they called it then."
Parker stayed in Birmingham for a time, often playing with pianist Howard Riley. In 1966 he moved to London, became a frequent visitor to the Little Theatre Club, centre of the city's emerging free jazz scene, and was soon invited by drummer John Stevens to join the innovative Spontaneous Music Ensemble which was experimenting with new kinds of group improvisation. Parker's first issued recording was SME's 1968 Karyobin, with a line-up of Parker, Stevens, Derek Bailey, Dave Holland and Kenny Wheeler. Parker remained in SME through various fluctuating line-ups - at one point it comprised a duo of Stevens and himself - but the late 1960s also saw him involved in a number of other fruitful associations.
He began a long-standing partnership with guitarist Bailey, with whom he formed the Music Improvisation Company and, in 1970, co-founded Incus Records. (Tony Oxley, in whose sextet Parker was then playing, was a third co-founder; Parker left Incus in the mid-1980s.) Another important connection was with the bassist Peter Kowald who introduced Parker to the German free jazz scene. This led to him playing on Peter Brötzmann's 1968 Machine Gun, Manfred Schoof's 1969 European Echoes and, in 1970, joining pianist Alex von Schlippenbach and percussionist Paul Lovens in the former's trio, of which he is still a member: their recordings include Pakistani Pomade, Three Nails Left, Detto Fra Di Noi, Elf Bagatellen and Physics.
Parker pursued other European links, too, playing in the Pierre Favre Quartet (with Kowald and Swiss pianist Irene Schweizer) and in the Dutch Instant Composers Pool of Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink. The different approaches to free jazz he encountered proved both a challenging and a rewarding experience. He later recalled that the German musicians favoured a "robust, energy-based thing, not to do with delicacy or detailed listening but to do with a kind of spirit-raising, a shamanistic intensity. And l had to find a way of surviving in the heat of that atmosphere ... But after a while those contexts became more interchangeable and more people were involved in the interactions, so all kinds of hybrid musics came out, all kinds of combinations of styles."
A vital catalyst for these interactions were the large ensembles in which Parker participated in the 1970s: Schlippenbach's Globe Unity Orchestra, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Barry Guy's London Jazz Composers Orchestra (LJCO) and occasional big bands led by Kenny Wheeler. In the late 70s Parker also worked for a time in Wheeler's small group, recording Around Six and, in 1980, he formed his own trio with Guy and LJCO percussionist Paul Lytton (with whom he had already been working in a duo for nearly a decade). This group, together with the Schlippenbach trio, remains one of Parker's top musical priorities: their recordings include Tracks, Atlanta, Imaginary Values, Breaths and Heartbeats, The Redwood Sessions and At the Vortex. In 1980, Parker directed an Improvisers Symposium in Pisa and, in 1981, he organised a special project at London's Actual Festival. By the end of the 1980s he had played in most European countries and had made various tours to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. ln 1990, following the death of Chris McGregor, he was instrumental in organising various tributes to the pianist and his fellow Blue Notes; these included two discs by the Dedication Orchestra, Spirits Rejoice and lxesa.
Though he has worked extensively in both large and small ensembles, Parker is perhaps best known for his solo soprano saxophone music, a singular body of work that in recent years has centred around his continuing exploration of techniques such as circular breathing, split tonguing, overblowing, multiphonics and cross-pattern fingering. These are technical devices, yet Parker's use of them is, he says, less analytical than intuitive; he has likened performing his solo work to entering a kind of trance-state. The resulting music is certainly hypnotic, an uninterrupted flow of snaky, densely-textured sound that Parker has described as "the illusion of polyphony". Many listeners have indeed found it hard to credit that one man can create such intricate, complex music in real time. Parker's first solo recordings, made in 1974, were reissued on the Saxophone Solos CD in 1995; more recent examples are Conic Sections and Process and Reality, on the latter of which he does, for the first time, experiment with multi-tracking. Heard alone on stage, few would disagree with writer Steve Lake that "There is, still, nothing else in music - jazz or otherwise - that remotely resembles an Evan Parker solo concert."
While free improvisation has been Parker's main area of activity over the last three decades, he has also found time for other musical pursuits: he has played in 'popular' contexts with Annette Peacock, Scott Walker and the Charlie Watts big band; he has performed notated pieces by Gavin Bryars, Michael Nyman and Frederic Rzewski; he has written knowledgeably about various ethnic musics in Resonance magazine. A relatively new field of interest for Parker is improvising with live electronics, a dialogue he first documented on the 1990 Hall of Mirrors CD with Walter Prati. Later experiments with electronics in the context of larger ensembles have included the Synergetics - Phonomanie III project at Ullrichsberg in 1993 and concerts by the new EP2 (Evan Parker Electronic Project) in Berlin, Nancy and at the 1995 Stockholm Electronic Music Festival where Parker's regular trio improvised with real-time electronics processed by Prati, Marco Vecchi and Phillip Wachsmann. "Each of the acoustic instrumentalists has an electronic 'shadow' who tracks him and feeds a modified version of his output back to the real-time flow of the music."
The late 80s and 90s brought Parker the chance to play with some of his early heroes. He worked with Cecil Taylor in small and large groups, played with Coltrane percussionist Rashied Ali, recorded with Paul Bley: he also played a solo set as support to Ornette Coleman when Skies of America received its UK premiere in 1988. The same period found Parker renewing his acquaintance with American colleagues such as Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy and George Lewis, with all of whom he had played in the 1970s (often in the context of London's Company festivals). His 1993 duo concert with Braxton moved John Fordham in The Guardian to raptures over "saxophone improvisation of an intensity, virtuosity, drama and balance to tax the memory for comparison".
Parker's 50th birthday in 1994 brought celebratory concerts in several cities, including London, New York and Chicago. The London performance, featuring the Parker and Schlippenbach trios, was issued on a highly-acclaimed two-CD set, while participants at the American concerts included various old friends as well as more recent collaborators in Borah Bergman and Joe Lovano. The NYC radio station WKCR marked the occasion by playing five days of Parker recordings. 1994 also saw the publication of the Evan Parker Discography, compiled by ltalian writer Francesco Martinelli, plus chapters on Parker in books on contemporary musics by John Corbett and Graham Lock.
Parker's future plans involve exploring further possibilities in electronics and the development of his solo music. They also depend to a large degree on continuity of the trios, of the large ensembles, of his more occasional yet still long-standing associations with that pool of musicians to whose work he remains attracted. This attraction, he explained to Coda's Laurence Svirchev, is attributable to "the personal quality of an individual voice". The players to whom he is drawn "have a language which is coherent, that is, you know who the participants are. At the same time, their language is flexible enough that they can make sense of playing with each other ... l like people who can do that, who have an intensity of purpose."

Hi Guys,
I have a router 2901 installed and i have to configure IPv6 and IPv4 and vice versa. I have both addresses configured on servers ipv6 and ipv4. Pls help me out
5 Replies
Apr 2, 2012 at 8:56 UTC
Can you explain why you want to try to map the IPv6 and v4 addresses? There are limitations on the ways that you can cross between the two addressing methods.
Apr 2, 2012 at 9:19 UTC
What problems are you having with the IPv6?
How are you getting your IPv6 (Native from your provider, via tunnel brokers)?
Is your IPv6 block routable?
Apr 2, 2012 at 10:03 UTC
i have assigned public Ip addres for Vmware servers clients and now due depletion of IPv4 address, i got the Ipv6 addresses to configure with Vmware clients servers to allow access to clients
Apr 2, 2012 at 10:20 UTC
So you are using the IPv6 addresses on your internal network, or you have them externally? Are you running out of v4 external addresses or is it within your internal subnet?
Apr 2, 2012 at 10:21 UTC
i have assigned public Ip addres for Vmware servers clients and now due depletion of IPv4 address, i got the Ipv6 addresses to configure with Vmware clients servers to allow access to clients
You haven't provided detaiils on your infrastructure so I will make a few assumptions here (usually gets me in trouble).
I am going to assume you have an internal router, a firewall, and an Internet router. I am also assuming the VMWare servers are not sitting on the Internet side of your firewall.
You will have to start by setting up IPv6 routing.
Your internal router (that routes between VLAN's) will have to have IPv6 routing set up on it. Procedure will vary dependent on the manufacturer.
You will have to set up IPv6 rule sets in your firewall to allow the IPv6 traffic you want to pass and block the addresses/ports you do not want. You will have to set your IPv6 default gateway here as well for the inside and outside interfaces and DMZ interface if you are using one.
You will have to setup IPv6 routing in your Internet router (static, BGP, etc.).
Setup your DNS for IPv6 if you have not done so already.
Setup your VMWare clients for IPv6 addresses, IPv6 DNS, etc., autoconf will configure the IPv6 on the clients if you have configured your internal router to do so.
Dependent on your client OS, troubleshoot IPv6 routing via tracert -6 or traceroute -6.

This is my first post to the forum. I have spent several hours searching the forum and am impressed with the knowledge being shared.
I purchased a Schwinn Paramount High Sierra bicycle at an estate sale. The receipt of the original purchase was in a Cannondale tool bag on the bike. The receipt is dated September 6, 1983, at Turners Bicycle Company, Mission, Kansas. They are still in business at a new location as Turners Cycling and Fitness.
I bought this to clean up for a daily commute but before I do anything I would like your opinions as to what I have and what it is worth.
Here is what I see on the bike:
The frame is black with white lettering: High Sierra in white solid letters on the top tube, SCHWINN in white outline letters on the down tube.
The Schwinn Paramount head badge is riveted to the head tube. It has 138 stamped on the surface. If there is a fourth number it must be under the left rivet.
There is a round label on the seat tube with Quality and Chicago in an outer ring with Schwinn in the center.
There is a second label on the seat tube with made in Taiwan for Schwinn.
4130 Chrome-Moly Main Tubes and Stays is on a label near the bottom of the seat tube.
The handlebar and stem are a single unit: Handlebar, two bars forming an inverted triangle with the handlebar, joined to a stem all welded and chromed with some rust spots.
15 speed is on the chain stay.
There are three front sprockets and six rear sprockets.
Dia-Compe center-pull brake set (brakes, brake levers, brake pads).
Suntour XR 150 rear derailleur
Suntour Mountech front derailleur
Suntour Power Thumb Shifters
Jim Blackburn carrier
Schwinn seat
Shimano pedals with (originally) two yellow reflectors on each. One reflector is missing.
ARAYA 26x1.75 JAPAN rims
INVERT 26x2.0 40-80 PSI tires
SA LAPRADE seat post
Specialized water bottle holder
Sorry its not a paramount, its a Schwin High Sierra Mountain bike. Nice MTB but nothing special. Sounds like its in good shape, its agood rider, enjoy!
With no pics I guess it's value in the mid 100 range.
+1, not a Paramount. It is a 1984 most likely, given black with white decals and the triangulated cr-mo bars. The bars are desirable by some if in good shape. Otherwise, $100.00 bike in rideable condition.
Here is a link that will show you the original sales brochures.... http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1981_1990/index.html
Nice bike. Nice potential commuter.
I believe they ran out of the correct badge and substituted the Paramount badge. There were other High Sierras built around that time with Paramount badges: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...unt-head-badge
Thanks, everyone, for the good information.
Metacortex, the link that you provided took me to a thread with another of your posts. That post had a link to the history of Giant that fits with what I know of my bike's timeline. Also, I found the serial number plus a code 'G0583'. So, I think I have a bike built by Giant in 1983 for Schwinn maybe to sell as a 1984 model.
howsteepisit and TugaDude,
The $100 price range is very interesting because that was the price the operator of the estate sale put on it. I left a bid of $30 and won it. I also found $3.79 in the tool bag so I think this will work out with my plans for a daily commuter bike after cleanup.
I am amazed that the catalog is online. Looking through that link I even found the tire pump. Mine has some rubbed off lettering with one letter that I thought was an 'N'. The catalog shows a picture of it. It was a 'Z' for 'Zefal'.
It is a nice bike. You can tailor it to your needs by changing tires, perhaps bars, etc. There are threads on here about older mountain bikes and commuting, swapping bars to drops, etc. Have fun!
Nice shape-full 4130 cromo steel
I would put it at closer to $125-$150 or so-but I'm splitting hairs
But the resale on ANYTHING marked Schwinn is good- Trek same story -they resell for more than say a GIANT or Diamondback
Great bike for your purpose-sturdy-it will take nice wide tire to take the edge off crummy potholed roads/streets.
Great deal for you-$27 -perfect for your purpose.
If it is a 1984 model, it is one of the first mass produced mountain bikes, also collector appeal.
Great bike. I enjoyed mine. While riding it, I always felt like "my bike can kick your bike's @ss".

Engaging People
- by Annie Lescroart in
- Comments (0)
It all started with a handful of passionate employees who formed the first eBay Green Team in 2007 – an effort that has grown to 2400 employees in 24 countries. Thanks to their commitment, our award-winning Green Team has implemented small ideas and big actions that help eBay operate more sustainably – from solar panels to community gardens. Their vision sparked a bigger idea. Why not harness the entire eBay community of buyers and sellers? In 2009, we opened up the Green Team to all eBay users, and now have more than 300,000 members committed to buying, selling and thinking greener every day. Their small actions are really adding up to making a big difference.
Activating our Employees
eBay's first sustainability programs grew out of, and were led by, our employee Green Team. The team has grown organically from just 40 employees in San Jose to more than 2,400 employees from 24 eBay offices around the world. Their impressive list of accomplishments include making the business case – and eventually turning on – the largest private solar array in our hometown of San Jose, establishing an employee-led community garden in Omaha (one of the first for a Fortune 500 company!), achieving a 99 percent waste diversion rate in San Jose, advocating for renewable energy state policy in Salt Lake City, launching an alternative commute program in Bern (that is used by more than 70 percent of our employees there!), and sourcing 100 percent green power in Dublin and Dreilinden. Whether small steps or big actions, the Green Team tracks its progress on our blog, Green Team Talks.
The Green Team's efforts have transformed eBay into a greener company and a better place to work, and we dedicate time to sharing our experiences with other companies looking to set up their own programs. To that end, we worked with Net Impact to help them advance an entrepreneurial sustainability culture, and documented our initial learnings in the "Making Your Impact at Work" guide in 2009. We're proud to be recognized for our leadership in this area. In 2010, Just Means and the Financial Times gave eBay the Social Innovator Award for Best Employee Engagement Strategy; later that year, Global Green USA awarded eBay a Sustainable Design Award for the organizational design of the Green Team initiatives. Our office in Omaha also received the Bronze level for a bike-friendly business by the League of American Bicyclists, making it one of the first companies in Nebraska to receive this designation.
Fueling the Community
Inspired by the impact of our employee Green Team, we invited our buying and selling community to join the eBay Green Team in 2009. In just the first six weeks, 100,000 people signed up. Today, more than 300,000 members are doing their part to buy, sell, think, and innovate in ways that have a positive impact on the planet. The online home for this community is right here on green.ebay.com – where we bring members the latest ideas, inspirations and deals to help them fulfill their pledge to be smarter, greener shoppers and also give them a place to connect and engage with one another. To date, Green Team members have scored free, reusable boxes, been the first to hear about new partnerships, and have had exclusive access to contests and promotions designed to assist folks on their green journey.
Since 2009, we have been encouraged to see the same entrepreneurial and creative spirit that underscores our employee Green Team take hold among our buying and selling community. Inspired by a business model that emphasizes re-use, conservation-minded eBay-ers have raised their hands to show us that oftentimes, wallet-friendly and planet-friendly shopping go hand in hand. Zem Joaquin, eBay enthusiast, eco-groovy mom and founder of ecofabulous.com, showed us that antique and salvage décor make for truly fabulous design; Joshua Pfenning, winner of our 2009 creative reuse competition, inspired us to see the beauty (and savings!) in found furniture, and Sheena Matheiken, founder of The Uniform Project, took us on a year-long journey to prove that cutting-edge style can be accomplished with minimal investment – and minimal impact.

If you're a Rogers Wireless subscriber, you may have noticed that there is an email to text message bridge available to you. Anyone can send email to your firstname.lastname@example.com, and Rogers will deliver that to you as a text message. In fact, that's the way that AOL and MSN offline IM text messaging works. It simply gets sent to the email gateway and dropped onto your telephone as an SMS message. Sounds pretty useful, right?
Not so fast Jim Bob… here's where we plumb the depths of stupid marketing ideas. No doubt some fresh and minty straight-out-of-biz school MBA cooked this little scheme up without ever once talking to a customer about what real world users might think of the idea. It's that moronic.
You see, Rogers allows you a certain number of "free" SMS messages each month on whatever plan you buy, and then bills you for the overage at $.15 per message. However, because they'd like to encourage the use of SMS, and would like to send you SMS offers, they don't bill for incoming SMS messages, just the ones you send.Â
So here's their brain-dead idea to jack up the number of SMS messages you send. Their email to text gateway doesn't deliver you the actual message you received. Instead, it delivers you a message saying that you've got a message waiting. If you'd like to read your message, it goes on, then REPLY to this message with the word READ. PRESTO: when you reply, you consume one text message. Use the service often enough, and your "free" text messages included in your plan will be exhausted and Rogers will be in the money.Â
Even worse, the email to text message gateway is one way only. You can't actually reply to the sender of that message you just received!  Effectively, this means that the AOL and MSN offline text messaging options are basically useless. In fact, the whole email to text messaging gateway is useless. Rogers has built a metered communications system (can't cure those old-line telco's of all their bad habits overnight, it seems), and then put up a giant roadblock to prevent people from actually using it. I'm sure there's a junior product manager somewhere deep within the bowels of Rogers marketing department right now wondering why this "product" doesn't make the company any money.
But, you know, there is a way out of this SMS hell… it's called the Rogers Email to Text Direct Delivery Option. For the paltry sum of $5 per month, Rogers will make email to SMS work the way any normal thinking person would expect it to work. They'll turn off that goofy READ feature, and just send the message directly to your phone. And you can reply to the message too…
I'll bet that same junior product manager is wondering why this feature doesn't make any money either…Â well, here are two clues:Â
- Finding the page on the Rogers site where this is described is a bit like cave diving without a light. It's not easy.Â
- Once you've found the page and know what you want, there doesn't seem to be a way anywhere on the Rogers site to actually order this product. That's right. You can't order it.
Most importantly, nickling and diming customers with meaningless and/or stupid choices is a proven way to make them look for simpler solutions elsewhere. One of the reasons that VoIP services have had success versus incumbents is that they understand this fundamental piece of psychology. Instead of charging a buck or two for every meaningless "service", they offer a bundle packed with features at one price.
Bell Mobility doesn't go out of their way to make their SMS gateway hard to use, by the way, and I bet they have more SMS traffic as a result.Â

Yeah, trouble with Indyo was it was trying to be much more than that, by actually including the indexing mechanism as well. And the code (in Sandbox at least) didn't have an elegant way of handling archives (zip, tar, gzip). But that's mostly coz I'm too lazy to update it, and there hasn't been a great deal of interest in Indyo. That's changed now coz I added some supporting code to handle archives somewhat more gracefully by decompressing the archive into a temp directory and indexing that directory. > >I think this idea has been discussed on the list a long while back >too. > >We really only need an interface that has a method which returns a >Document, right? In my ant project (in the sandbox also), it takes >a >java.io.File, but this should be made more generic (perhaps using >Commons VFS API?). Thoughts on what that interface should look like? We _could_ have one which returns a Document, but I'm thinking something even more specific to the nature of an IFilter, ie returning a Reader. Since the Field.Text(field, Reader) method really had the notion of adding the contents of a File in mind, I feel an IFilter should return a Reader too, so public interface ContentHandler { boolean isContainer(); Reader getReader(); } My code uses a ContentHandlerPicker to determine which ContentHandler to use. This is pluggable. It's a simple interface. public interface ContentHandlerPicker { ContentHandler getContentHandler(File f); } So usage is something like document.add(Field.Text("fileContents", ContentHandlerFacade.getReader(file, aContentHandlerPicker))); Right now, I wish I could accept an InputStream in addition to a File, but that invariably involves using some intelligent algorithm/3rd-party lib (like NGramJ? :-) to determine which IFilter to use based on the IS, like detecting magic numbers or something, and that's something over my head, I think. I'm assuming, of course, that clients are not explicitly specifying which IFilter to use, which doesn't necessarily have to be true. We could have ContentHandlerFacade.getReader(inputStream, aContentHandler) I guess.

We have gathered this morning to mourn the loss and to remember and celebrate the life of Nancy Pennock. We do so seeking the comfort and perspective that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. In the Bible Jesus said
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. (John 11:15,26)
The Apostle Paul wrote,
55"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Cor 15:55-58)
The Bible give us perspective hope and strength in our time of heartache. Let's pray together.
Lord, Nancy was such a strong and vibrant person. It has been hard to see her grow weak. We are grateful that the struggle is over and that you have released her from the earthly burden. However, the sense of loss is deep. Today we ask you to give us perspective as we look back on Nancy's life. Help us to see with perspective and faithfulness. Help us to focus on the blessing with hope that tempers the pain. Help us to find you today, we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
Nancy J. Pennock, 75, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, formerly of Anamosa, Iowa passed away Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 7:25 p.m. at her home.
She was born January 3, 1935 in Aledo, Illinois, the daughter of Elmo and Hazel Brown Osburn. On September 26, 1970 she married Herbert Pennock in Lomax, Illinois. He preceded her in death on September 28, 2000.
She was a graduate of the La Harpe High School. Over the years she worked at the Lomax Canning Factory, IRC in Burlington and as a waitress at Pat's Tap in Dallas City and the Arion Restaurant in Burlington. She worked for Rockwell International in Cedar Rapids for 23 years, retiring in April 1995.
She is survived by one son, Kevin (Teresa) Thompson of Lomax, four daughters, Rhonda (Steve) Foley and Andrea Thompson all of Cedar Rapids, Melanie (Rick) Evans of Lomax and Leana (Karl) Yard of LaHarpe, 17 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, one step-daughter, Audrey Queen of Alexandria, Missouri, one step-son, Anthony Pennock of Fort Madison, Iowa, one sister, Vesta Carey and one niece, Charlette Hamilton both of Letts, Iowa.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, one granddaughter and one niece.
I was acquainted with Nancy but I cannot say that I "knew" her. It sounds like she was a woman who worked hard, loved life, valued people, cheered for the Hawk Eyes, and considered herself to be a blessed woman.
Nancy was a good student as she went through school. She had a number of spelling awards to prove it. She grew up in La Harpe and had many good friends. She started working early in her life and did whatever she could do. She was blessed with five children and two step children. She had children, step-children, grandchildren and step-grandchildren, children that were born in the family and children that married into the family. She never drew any distinction between them. They were all her family, she treated them equally and she considered herself richly blessed because of them.
Nancy was also blessed with friends that were like family to her. The Jacobs and Englebart families were people she relied on help. She enjoyed watching their families grow up. The kids called her Grandma and she thought of them like her Grandchildren.
When Nancy was divorced her children were young. For a while she worked several jobs trying to make ends meet to take care of her family. Meeting Herb was a wonderful blessing. They had a good life together and watching him die was one of the hardest things she ever had to do.
Nancy had struggles but she enjoyed the journey. She had a good sense of humor and was eager to give people a hard time. She enjoyed playing games (Pinochle, and Scrabble), she loved reading mysteries and watching mysteries on television. She enjoyed watching sports. She and Andrea enjoyed going to games at the University of Iowa. When Nancy was at a game she had no trouble being very vocal. Everyone learned that you were not to call or stop by while a game was on TV! Even the last day of her life she wanted to know what was going on at the girls' basketball game.
Nancy loved parades and enjoyed taking the kids to the Park and the Pumpkin Fest in Anamosa. She liked pointing out the upside down bridge and the other sights in the park.
She loved her pets. She had her dog Sasha cremated and put her in an urn on the coffee table. She made lots of friends in Animal "Communities" on the Internet. When her friends heard she had cancer they sent her cards and gifts from all over the world. She enjoyed watching Dog Shows on television. She liked collecting Slag glass items.
Nancy enjoyed cooking (she liked making her rice pudding with raisins). And she liked to eat. She enjoyed Catfish, and liked to go to Red Lobster. She liked Puff Corn right up to the end.
She was proud of her son and other family members who served in the military. She was grateful when she was given the chance to keep in touch via email. She felt they were making a significant contribution to the world and was very proud.
Nancy could be stubborn. One thing was sure: she was always in charge. Because of this she never resigned herself to her cancer diagnosis. She wasn't afraid to die but she wasn't going to give up….it wasn't her style. She pursued treatments aggressively. She refused to have people do something for her if she could do it for herself. She intended to put off being "bed-ridden" and remain independent al long as possible. (She ended up in bed for around an hour before she died). Did I mention she was a strong, independent, and faithful woman? Even when she knew the end was getting near she wasn't going to get in bed until her Grandkids arrived. They all got there. She was then ready to go.
You can see the kind of person that Nancy was by the way her family rallied around her to take care of her. She loved her family and her family loved her. She felt she had lived a good life, and she had made her peace with God. She entered eternity the same way she lived her life: with confidence and with joy.
[Lord's Prayer]
There are some people who believe this life is all there is. They don't believe in God and they don't believe in Heaven. They say that those who believe in an afterlife are empty headed and use their belief as a crutch.
If they are right, we have every right to be miserable. Not only is death the end . . . life itself is meaningless. We live, we work, we sacrifice . . . for what? Life is futile. King Solomon looked at life apart from God and concluded, "Meaningless, meaningless, it is all meaningless." Solomon looked at education, pleasure, status, material gain and concluded the same thing: life is meaningless, apart from a belief in God.
Some people say we are reincarnated. After this life we are brought back to live another. But It seems to me that is futility to the tenth power. Like the movie Groundhog Day we are forced to keep enduring the futility over and over again.
Deep down inside each of us believe that there must be more to this life than what we see. There must be a reason we have values and try to live well; there must be a reason we feel love; and a reason we cling to the hope of life beyond the grave. Is it delusion or is it a truth that God has built into us. I believe it is the truth.
The Bible, rather than being a crutch for the intellectually weak, is instead something that makes sense of life. We were created to know and enjoy the Creator. We rebelled and as a result became lost in our walk with God. Jesus came to earth to show us the way back home. He gave His life to build a bridge back to God. He taught us that there was life beyond the grave. For those who found it hard to believe, He verified it by rising from the grave Himself. Christmas reminds us that this life is not all there is. There is a God who loves us.
Sadly, Nancy Pennock was let down by the church. When she was hurting and needed support after her divorce, the church turned their back. The good news is that Nancy was able to distinguish between God and His people. People may have turned away from her, but God did not. Nancy never turned away from God. She was faithful in saying her rosary. She was interested in spiritual truth. She wanted to honor God. She believed.
We see not only her spirit but also her faith in the way she handled her cancer. Some people give up in such situations. Some get angry. Some fight death up to the very last second. Nancy didn't do any of those things. She fought hard, kept a positive attitude, and when her body gave out on her, she rested in the arms of the One whom she trusted all her life.
The apostle Paul wrote,
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (8-10;16-18)
The Biblical perspective is simple: we are living now to live again. Whatever price we must pay in this life, whatever obstacles there are to overcome, there is a purpose. The trials of life are meant to get us ready for that which is yet to come. This life is but the title page of the real book called Life. What is seen is temporary, what is unseen is eternal.
The Bible tells us plainly that those who are willing to admit their helplessness and turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and new life will live even though they die. The people who truly believe are those who dare to trust Him even when life is hard and when things don't go smoothly.
Now I don't know for sure what Nancy believed because I never talked to her about these things. Truth is, she was a private woman in many respects and since faith is intensely personal she may not have talked about it. However, it seems to me that her life was lived sincerely for something more than what this life has to offer.
If this is the case, then even though this is a day of loss for us, it is a day of reward and victory for her. Instead of being the end of her life it is really the beginning. Nancy is with Jesus. What was hidden is now clear. Her joy is pure. The peace is sweet. And for the first time – Nancy knows that she no longer needs to be in control; and she's OK with it.
Teresa is going to read a fitting poem for us.
[Teresa Poem]
[Alan Jackson Song]
As we depart from this day I hope you will keep vivid pictures in your mind of Nancy. Think of her
- Whenever you see her favorite color: purple
- When you see a red Subaru,
- When you see a Murder Mystery on television
- When you see dog treats that look like chocolate chip cookies
- When you gather as a family to play a game
- When you see a Hawk Eye game
- When you see a pet cherished by its owner
- When you see someone who lives confidently in the midst of a trial
- And whenever you wonder if this life is all there is.
Remember Nancy and put your hope in the Lord.
Let's pray together,
Father, you have deeply enriched our lives through the life of Nancy Pennock. Thank you for her spirit. Thank you for the family she raised. Thank you for the example she provided. Thank you for the people who brought such joy to her life. You have blessed us through her, and we give you thanks. Please welcome Nancy into the place that you have created for her through the work of your son, Jesus.
Help us to see beyond the mountain of death so we catch a glimpse of the beauty that stands on the other side. You have given us a way to know that life personally in Jesus Christ. Help this family to embrace you as lovingly and devotedly as they embraced Nancy. Help them to be as passionate about the next life as they are about this life.
Keep our memories sharp even as the years take their toll. Deepen our faith so that we might have an anchor in the time of trial. Lead, protect, and keep us until that day when we see Nancy again . . .in your house. We ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

8Star announced July 17 the signing of inaugural Brickyard Grand Prix winner and four-time Champ Car World Series driver Sebastien Bourdais to drive its No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette DP.
Consecutive runner-up finishes (Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen) moved the No. 3 8Star Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype to seventh place in the 2013 Rolex Grand-Am Series team point standings.
The Stephane Sarrazin/Michael Valiante/Enzo Potolicchio team led 44 of 171 laps at June 29 at Watkins Glen and, despite serving a 60-second penalty on lap 116, finished just 0.265-of-a-second behind the winning car, the second smallest margin of victory ever in a six-hour Daytona Prototype race at Watkins Glen.
Bourdais has made eight DP starts since 2005, including four Rolex 24 at Daytona races (2005-06, 2010, 2013) and this past June 29 at Watkins Glen (N.Y) International. The Le Mans, France, native also competes fulltime in the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series and has 34 series starts since 2005, including second- and third-place finishes in last weekend's IndyCar Series doubleheader in Toronto.
Bourdais earned 31 Champ Car victories, 44 podium finishes, and 31 pole positions in 73 starts from 2003-2007, and was named series rookie of the year in 2003. He has made 10 starts in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, garnering three runner-up finishes (2007, 2009, and 2011) in the LMP1 class, co-driving with 8Star Motorsports teammate Stephane Sarrazin in 2007 and 2009.
Bourdais competed in 27 Formula One races for Toro Rosso in 2008-09 and has two V8 Supercar victories to his credit, both at Surfer's Paradise in Queensland, Australia, first in 2011 and again in 2012.
Michael Valiante, who has earned runner-up finishes in the two races he's driven 8Star's N, has signed a contract to remain in the seat of the No. 3 Corvette DP for the balance of the 2013 Rolex GRAND-AM Series season.
The 8Star team conducted two days of testing, July 18-19, at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Florida, in preparation for the Brickyard Grand Prix and to further develop its overall Grand-Am DP program. Drivers Michael Valiante, Sebastien Bourdais and Emilio DiGuida all logged extensive time behind the wheel on the 2.043-mile, 11-turn road course during the team's second-only test session.
In last year's inaugural Brickyard Grand Prix, Sebastien Bourdais co-drove to the victory and Enzo Potolicchio finished seventh in the Daytona Prototype class of the Grand-Am Series race while Michael Valiante finished 32nd in the ST class of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.
Practices are Thursday, July 25, from 11:30 a.m. -12:55 p.m. and 2:10 – 3:05 p.m. Qualifying is Thursday, July 25, from 4:35-4:50 p.m. Green flag for the three-hour race is scheduled for Friday, July 26, at 5:30 p.m. (all times Eastern).
Michael Valiante: "I've tested at Indy in a DP car but didn't race there last year (he did run in ST class of Continental Tire Sports Car Championship). It's a great track and facility so I'm really looking forward to racing there this year. We have a good roll going at 8Star and look forward to continuing it at Indianapolis Motor Speedway."
"The Palm Beach test went really well. We took a great car in high downforce configuration and learned a lot but still have some work to do on the low downforce configuration. I definitely think we made some gains and I'm looking forward to see how we stack up against everyone else at Indy."
Sebastien Bourdais: "There's a lot of very good and talented people at 8Star and I'm happy to be involved. The No. 3 car has been pretty racy the last couple of races and the No. 4 is pretty much the same car so I'm pretty excited about the prospects to drive for a new team that's sorting itself out pretty quickly.
Emilio is a good gentleman driver and, given the format of the series, it's always an opening for a good result for an amateur and a pro. Stephane (Sarrazin, driver of 8Star Motorsports' No. 3 Corvette DP) and I were teammates at Le Mans in 2007 and 2009, and in different team cars after that, so I know him pretty well. He's a very quick driver so it will be good to reunite with him on the team".
"I'm very much looking forward to racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, obviously, having won last year's inaugural Grand-Am race there. Indy is a pretty cool event and a cool track. I'm thankful to Jay Penske for allowing me to combine this with my IndyCar program with Dragon Racing. I'm a Chevrolet driver in the IndyCar Series so it's great to be driving a Corvette DP in the Grand-Am Series."
Emilio DiGuida: "It will be my first time to race at Indy so I feel very happy to have Sebastien Bourdais, who won the first (GRAND-AM) race there, as my teammate. I learned a lot during the test last week at Palm Beach. We worked on the suspension quite a bit and got better and better."

North Korean teachers and students are being (force-)fed a new too-good-to-be-true fact: Kim Jong-un learned to drive when he was just – wait for it – 3 years old.
There is no way one can confirm this bit of the dictator's history, since it comes from the most reclusive state on the planet. However, if true, it could be a world record, given the fact there is no 2-year-old kid known to have driven a car anywhere in the world.
That said, the textbook which contains the new information about the North Korean leader's seemingly spectacular childhood, is most likely to be another propaganda effort by Pyongyang, which, apart from creating videos of imaginary destruction of America, also disseminates bogus news and factually inaccurate textual material to glorify Kim's image.

South Korean news channel YTN first reported that a new subject, "Kim Jong-un's Revolutionary Activities" is being taught in North Korean schools this year and a teacher's manual related to the topic is full of minute and mind-boggling details of the "Outstanding Leader's" equally outstanding childhood.
For instance, apart from stating that he was driving at the tender age of 3, even more astounding was the claim that Kim Jong-un "raced the chief executive of a foreign yacht company, who was visiting North Korea at the time," and won when he was just 9 years old.

There isn't much (reliable) information available about Kim Jong-un's childhood, teenage years or how he was as a student. However, PBS' Frontline documentary crew found that Kim spent almost three years of his student life in a Swiss public school, posing as the son of a Korean diplomat under an assumed name. He could draw exceptionally well and that he was "competitive" and was a really good basketball player.

'Post' stands by controversial cover on slain 'slumlord'
The New York Post is standing by its controversial Sunday cover about the grisly murder of Brooklyn landlord Menachem Stark.
"The Post does not say Mr. Stark deserved to die but our reporting showed that he had many enemies, which may have led to the commission of this terrible crime," a spokesperson for the paper told Capital late Sunday afternoon. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of loss."
Story Continued Below
The tabloid came under fire for a front proclaiming in full-page knockout type, "WHO DIDN'T WANT HIM DEAD?"
The headline referred to the 39-year-old Hasidic man known widely as "Max" Stark, whose charred remains were found in a Long Island dumpster on Friday one day after surveillance footage showed him being forced into a van near his place of business in Brooklyn.
The accompanying story, based largely on anonymous police sources, portrayed Stark as a "slumlord" and a scam artist with a long list of shady business dealings, debts and enemies.
Rival tabloid the Daily News had similar reporting and sources in its coverage, but went with an arguably more subdued cover treatment that took up the bottom half of today's wood: "TORCHED! Kidnap victim suffocated, burned in Long Island dumpster."
The Post cover stoked the ire of Jewish leaders and members of the Hasidic and Orthodox communities, some of whom have proposed a boycott of the paper.
One Jewish website, JP Updates, argued that the Post was justifying Stark's abduction and murder. Another, Voz Iz Neis, published an open letter to the paper calling for an apology.
At least two local politicians also demanded a mea culpa, while others condemned the Post on Twitter.
"The Post must issue an immediate apology to the Stark family and to all New Yorkers," said State Senator Simcha Felder in a statement.
"The New York Post's unbelievably offensive headline this morning comes the day after Mr. Stark's family and children, as well as an entire community, laid him to rest and are still mourning his death," said Council Member Stephen Levin, also in a statement issued to the press.
"For the New York Post to suggest that a person deserved to be murdered is sickening and reaches a new low," the statement continues. "The New York Post should pull their story and issue an apology to the family and community that are still in mourning."

My Father, The Genius
Directed by Lucia Small
Visit Film Site: smallangstfilms.com
When long-estranged father, dreamer and visionary architect, Glen Small bequeaths his daughter the task of writing his biography, she answers instead with an irreverent film about his precarious career and rocky private life – while he is still alive.
Her father has always called himself a genius; Lucia Small is torn. On the one hand she fancies the idea that her dad might be amongst the undiscovered greats, but she also wonders if maybe he isn't suffering from a giant ego.
My Father, The Genius explores the precarious framework on which a career and family are built. How does a man dedicate his entire life to "saving the world through architecture," yet miss some basics at home? How does one balance creative obsession with familial obligations? And how does a filmmaker daughter balance her father's wishes with her own artistic vision?.
Interviews with the brash, sometimes outrageous Glen Howard Small are juxtaposed with comments from his peers and former students, his clients, daughters, ex-wives and girlfriends. Archival footage, animation, and startling models and drawings of Small's work combine to form a vivid, compelling portrait of an unfulfilled and uncompromising talent, and a daughter seeking to come to terms with the man.
At 31, Glen Small was a rising star. At 61, he barely escapes financial ruin. The current drama is revealed: what happens toward the end of a dreamer's life when his dreams are still unfulfilled? Where and when will his statement of architectural genius finally be made – now or never? And how does a daughters' journey offer her not only new appreciation and compassion for her father's life's work, but a much deeper understanding of her own plight?
Lucia Small has been an independent filmmaker for over 15 years. My Father, The Genius is her directorial debut feature, which garnered several top film festival awards, including Grand Jury Prizes for Best Documentary and Best Editing at the 2002 Slamdance Film Festival. In 2003. The film was broadcast and featured as part of Sundance Channel's newly launched DOCday series. It is distributed through New Yorker Films and internationally by CS Associates. In Summer of 2005, Small teamed up with seminal documentary filmmaker Ed Pincus to form Pincus & Small Films.

Flemish Chicken Stew With Barley
READY IN: 1hr 50mins
Recipe by Sharon123
A dish that sticks to your ribs on cold windy days! This is a meal in a pot! From "Cook Now-Serve Later".
Top Review by Roy J
This is one of those dishes that requires some time for the flavors to develop and to merge. It needs to be garnished and served in a large low bowl, with a knife and fork along with the spoon. This stew certainly goes well with the dark crusty bread. PS -- I snuck some of the bread into the bowl liquid while my wife was out fo the room.
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (2 1/2 lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 2 leeks, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick

- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley, to garnish (optional)
- 4 thin lemon slices, to garnish (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper.
- Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy, flameproof casserole over low heat.
- Remove from the heat and add the leeks, carrots, celery, and onion, arranging them in a bed.
- Place the parsley and thyme sprigs on top; then add the chicken, arranging the pieces in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the cloves and nutmeg over all.
- Cover and cook over moderately low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and simmer, covered, 30 to 35 minutes longer or until the chicken is tender.
- Remove from the heat and with a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a platter.
- Let cool.
- Strain the stock into a large saucepan or flameproof casserole, reserving the vegetables and discarding the parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and cloves.
- Skim any fat from the stock.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin and bones.
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
- Add the chicken and vegetables to the stock.
- At this point the chicken stew can be cooled to room temperature and stored.
- Refrigerate in the covered casserole for up to 3 days.
- Or freeze in a labeled, 1 gallon freezer bag or freezable container for up to 1 month at 0 degreesF.
- In a medium-size saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
- Add the barley and the remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- Cover and cook for 40 to 45 minutes or until the barley is tender.
- Drain, recover, and keep warm.
- Bring the stock to a simmer over low heat.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat together the egg yolks, cream, and lemon juice with a fork.
- Gradually beat a ladleful of the simmering stock into the egg mixture.
- Then stir the mixture back into the casserole.
- Cook, uncovered, over low heat, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened-about 5 minutes.
- To serve, transfer the barley to a large soup tureen or casserole and spoon the chicken stew over it.
- Garnish with the minced parsley and the lemonn slices, if desired.
- Serve in soup plates and accompany with pumpernickel bread.
- Enjoy!

text: No one knows what it is that the Occupy Wall Street protesters actually want, if anything, to get them to go home. But take one look at the rules for position limits that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has rolled out for a vote on Tuesday and you know that their instincts that the game is fixed are right on the money. This latest part of Dodd-Frank regulation is attempting to help limit the financial speculation that drove oil prices up during 2008 and are responsible for the more than $3.50 a gallon national gasoline average that we are experiencing today. But Dodd-Frank has become a farce. The legislation was designed to end systemic risk. It was hoped to end moral hazard. It was written to curb speculation in markets that were never designed to be bet on. But it has morphed into a political and legal dance between liberals looking to put a financial genie impossibly back into a bottle and a conservative group who never really admitted to anything functionally going wrong in the markets in the first place and an aversion to government meddling in business practices anywhere. Let's have a closer look at the position limits rule. In my book, "Oil's Endless Bid" , I discussed extensively about the specific tools available to the CFTC in trying to curb speculation, reaching the conclusion that position limits were, at best, a weak hatchet hacking up a body where a scalpel was required. Still, very strong position limits could have some effect in limiting some financial speculative participants in the oil markets. This rule won't do even much of that. It allows a healthy 25% of deliverable contracts as a limit in the spot month, and 2,500 contracts plus 2.5% of whatever open interest above 25,000 for back months. For the cash-settled markets at the ICE, a trader could hold five times that amount of front month contracts. Even as weak as these limits are, most funds looking to accumulate size in oil will likely look outside the futures markets anyway, relying upon the OTC swaps market.
