At the age of 38, Ronnie O'Sullivan continues to re-write the snooker record books and after clinching his fifth Masters crown on Sunday night the Rocket insists he is not finished yet.
The Essex Exocet stormed to the title at Alexandra Palace, seeing off Mark Selby 10-4 in a match that started as something of a procession.
Breaks of 97, 70 and 96 carried the reigning world champion to a 4-0 lead early on and Selby, the defending champion, was powerless to fight back against the onslaught at Ally Pally.
"Any time you win a tournament is a great feeling," he said.
"Mark seems to make it to finals, he is a great competitor and I'm so pleased to have got the win.
"Mark plays better when he's behind, he does it so many times that you never feel quite over the line.
"I expected him to be coming back to 8-4, 8-5, 8-6, but I just thought 'keep competing' and luckily I did.
"Just to have got one (Masters) was great, so to have five is great. Five worlds, four UKs; I would never have dreamed I would do as well as this when I was turning pro.
"I'm over the moon with what I've done in the game, I will keep playing and keep competing which is great.
"I'm quite a lot older, I've given him eight years today, so I'm pleased to be competing as one of the older brigade."
Two years ago O'Sullivan began working with the famed Dr Steve Peters, the man behind Team GB's cycling team's extraordinary success at the last two Olympics.
O'Sullivan said: "I want to win a world title in my 40s, that is something to look for.
"I set myself a goal when I started working with Steve, I would like to win a world title when I'm 40.
"A 40-year-old winning it would be great, like Tom Watson nearly winning the Open."

SANFORD, Fla. - Two employees of an Avis Budget rental car office altered customers' contracts as part of a scheme that defrauded the company out of $137,000, according to a federal indictment.
Prosecutors said Lillian Sanchez and Harold Ferdinand used the company's nationwide computer system to change the customers' records to make it appear as if they had booked their car through a third-party travel agency, even if the customer has made the reservation directly through Avis Budget.
The rental car company pays a commission to those travel agencies based, among other things, on the customers' rental expenditure, according to court documents.
Sanchez and Ferdinand are accused of altering the contracts so AVYT Tours Orlando would receive the commission.
According to prosecutors, AVYT Tours is controlled by Sanchez's husband Albert.
Between January 2008 and March 2009, prosecutors said Avis Budget paid AVYT Tours approximately $137,000 in commissions. The Sanchezes then shared some of that money with Ferdinand, according to the indictment.
Ferdinand, Lillian Sanchez and Albert Sanchez are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Ferdinand declined to talk about his arrest with Local 6, saying he wanted to consult with his attorneys first. The Sanchezes could not be reached for comment.

President Barack Obama cast Mitt Romney on Thursday as an out-of-touch challenger for the White House and an advocate of education cuts that could cause teacher strikes to spread from Chicago to other cities. The Republican countered that the U.S. economy "is bumping along the bottom" under the current administration and he predicted victory in the fall.
"When you express an attitude that half the country considers itself victims, that somehow they want to be dependent on government, my thinking is maybe you haven't gotten around a lot," the president said. That was in response to a question about Romney's recent observation that 47 percent of Americans pay no income tax and believe they are victims and entitled to an array of federal benefits.
For his part, Romney was eager to move past that controversy, which has knocked him off stride. He disclosed plans for a three-day bus tour early next week through Ohio with running mate Paul Ryan and sought to return the campaign focus to the economic issues that have dominated the race all year.
● CHICAGO — Teenage girls may prefer the pill, the patch or even wishful thinking, but their doctors should be recommending IUDs or hormonal implants — long-lasting and more effective birth control that you don't have to remember to use every time, the nation's leading gynecologists group said Thursday.
● CENTENNIAL, Colo. — For the first time with short hair that's brown instead of a wild shade of orangish-red, the suspect in Colorado's movie theater shooting appeared in court Thursday as prosecutors gave up their fight to see a notebook he sent to a university psychiatrist, saying they didn't want to delay proceedings.
● NEW YORK — Grainy surveillance footage released Thursday shows Lindsay Lohan's car driving toward a man who says she hit him outside a nightclub and kept going, but the blur used to conceal witnesses' faces partially obscures the scene.

Football: Football scores for St Joe's in GAA land
Last week for the first time in its history, St. Joseph's High School of Crossmaglen took their place in the Northern Ireland Schools' Cup. And while the under-16 side was ultimately unsuccessful against St. Gabriel's of Belfast, the under-14 XI recorded a victory which may prove to be highly significant, in terms of how the sport is viewed in the GAA-dominated town.
St. Joseph's opponents on the day, in a match played at Lismore Park in Crossmaglen, were Bangor Academy. It was St. Joseph's who took the lead after 20 minutes, when Jemar Hall converted a penalty, rewarded after Alan Farrelly was fouled.
The debuting school doubled the lead before half-time, when Farrelly scored a poacher's goal, after centre-half Christopher Cunningham had caused the Bangor defence problems from a corner.
The Co Down side turned up the heat in the second-half, and only some excellent defensive work prevented a goal for the away side.
No amount of quality defending, however, would have stopped the 30-yard effort which brought the visitors back into the game. But heads did not drop, and St Joseph's were able to see out the remainder of the contest, to take them into the next round.
"The match was a big step for us," said John McMahon, the team manager.
"It was a journey into the unknown. There are several sports here, like Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie, that are ahead of football. But I wanted to give the children who don't have the same interest in the Gaelic sports, a chance to play competitively. In the match against Bangor, the plan certainly worked out well."
Round two sees Dundonald High School travel to Lismore Park, for a tie that now certainly has great intrigue. McMahon hopes that the qualities that brought them success in the first round, can do equally so in the second.
"Dundonald are a big, strong team, and to be honest, we don't expect to win," he explained.
"But they will not get it easy when they come here. In the match against Bangor, we showed excellent workrate and team spirit, qualities which you might say are also important traits in Gaelic football. Whatever happens, we will give it our best."
As for the future of football in the area, McMahon hopes that the first win will spark something in other schools that don't necessarily pay it the attention they might. Gaelic games will always be at the forefront of sporting thought here. But we would like to think that others would see us as a good example, that we can provide an opportunity for children to shine."

Counterfeit drugs are a problem that won't go away. In a recent segment on CBS' "60 Minutes," Sanjay Gupta explored the dark underworld of drug counterfeiting. While covering the bust of a counterfeiting operation in Lima, Peru, Gupta — himself a doctor — said he couldn't tell the drugs were fake. But luckily, several technologies have been developed in recent years that allow quick detection of counterfeits. One company developing such a technology is Mobile Data Systems. Drug Store News recently spoke with Mobile Data Systems representative, and longtime retail pharmacy veteran, Mark de Bruin.
Drug Store News: In a nutshell, how does FadeMark work?
Mark de Bruin: Mobile Data Systems' FadeMark watermarks are inserted into the original artwork of products during labeling and packaging, and do not affect production schedules. FadeMark watermarks are invisible to the eye and cannot be tampered with or reproduced. The watermarks are only readable using proprietary software and common scanning equipment, typically already in use by the supply chain. FadeMark thwarts the counterfeiters' ability to duplicate packaging, inserts or labeling of products, and provides a complete track-and-trace solution.
DSN: How can it be integrated into an anticounterfeiting system in the supply chain?
De Bruin: Mobile Data Systems' FadeMark technology uses hardware and scanning capabilities already in place, without additional costly purchases for all participants in the supply chain. FadeMark can inexpensively replace or supplement other technologies already available.
DSN: What advantages does it have over other anticounterfeiting technologies?
De Bruin: FadeMark invisible watermarks are only readable using proprietary software, which is included with the license, and scanning technologies already widely in use, thus eliminating the need for additional hardware and software purchases by the supply chain. FadeMark watermarks do not affect production schedules and are inexpensive to produce and read, compared with other anticounterfeiting solutions. Mobile Data Systems' watermarking technologies can provide both anticounterfeiting and consumer interactivity on the same package. FadeMark's back-end technologies are operational today, and Mobile Data Systems is the only company globally that can manage hundreds of thousands of products' content while offering the ability for both anticounterfeiting and consumer interactivity.
DSN: How can it be of the most benefit to retail pharmacies?
De Bruin: FadeMark watermarks inexpensively can provide a complete track-and-trace solution to retail pharmacies using existing pharmacy technologies. They can provide brand assurance directly to the consumer, as well as interactivity for the consumer on any product. Mobile Data Systems provides complete watermarking and 2-D bar-coding solutions to afford retail pharmacies brand protection and consumer interactivity.

This is the dog on the tuckerbox from the Jack O'Hagen song
"On the road to Gundagai".
A statue was erected to commemorate this song, it was unveiled by the then Prime Minister, Joe Lyons, in 1932.
This poem by an anonymous author was probably written around 1980.
Wise Dog OnThe Tuckerbox
The dog sits on the tuckerbox
He's gettin' pretty mad
"The country's gone to OTHER dogs
It's gettin' flamin' bad!
They're sellin' out
It makes you wonder why,
The tuckerbox is foreign-owned"
Said the dog from Gundagai
"They're sellin' farms and factories,
A million out of work,
From Sydney-town to
And way out back o' Bourke!
It's time that true-blue Aussies,
And that means you and I,
Stand up and guard the tuckerbox"
Said the dog from Gundagai
"In ten years time, what happens,
Who'll own those jolly jumbucks?
If we don't make a stand
Across our native land,
Who'll run our mines and factories?
Who'll pay our kids the dole?
Which bank will own your mortgage?
Who'll own you, heart and soul?
Who'll pay your flamin' wages?
Who'll make you pay the rent?
Who'll tell your kids what happened?
And where your freedom went."
"Or can that digger spirit,
A bit of do-or-die
Get back that flamin' tuckerbox"
Asks the dog from Gundagai

WASHINGTON -- King Abdullah of Jordan said Tuesday the Arabs have little trust in the United States using its influence to pressure Israel to give up the West Bank, Gaza and part of Jerusalem.
In a speech in Aspen, Colo., the king publicly called on President Bush to speed up his three-year timetable for turning over Israeli-held land to the Palestinians for a state.
"We need to expedite this target date so that the Israeli occupation can end sooner," he said.
Abdullah is due to meet with Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and other top administration officials on Wednesday and then with Bush at the white House on Thursday.
Bush is the first president in history to openly support statehood for the Palestinians. His timetable calls first for bolstering security in the area to protect Israel from Palestinian terror and for reform within the Palestinian Authority.
But the king, using Bush's goal of reform as an argument for Israeli withdrawal, said establishing democratic reforms and free market institutions in "Palestine" would mean little if Israel could bring commerce and daily life to a halt -- as it has in retaliating against terror.
Abdullah, whose kingdom is predominantly Palestinian, said the essential U.S. role in resolving the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is universally recognized.
"Yet," he said, "I must tell you that Arab trust of U.S. influence remains rather low."

I have hinted in a few posts recently about how the transport system is distorted by the provision of "free" parking, particularly at workplaces and shopping centres – and even more distorted by council rules known as "Minimum Parking Requirements". I have posted on this matter before, but I think that this is such a tremendously significant issue that I really do need to fully explore the subsidies towards car users that minimum parking requirements provide. For a start, it's very useful to watch this Youtube Video on the issue:
I think the best motto we can really use here is that "there is no such thing as free parking". Parking costs money, as it eats up land that could be put to another use. If you look at your average shopping mall, the land dedicated to carparking is usually bigger than the mall itself; if you look at your average office park the carpark is just about always bigger than the office block it serves… and so on. Just look at Manukau City, or Botany Town Centre, or Smales Farm on the North Shore. Big malls like the Albany Westfield are generally valued at around $200-300 million. Although a lot of that value is clearly in the building itself, one could easily hazard a guess that the land the Albany Westfield is built on could be worth something like $50 million. If over half of that is set aside for parking, it's easy to see how the numbers begin to stack up about the true cost of forcing developers to provide all this parking.
Julie-Anne Genter, who is the main expert in the video above, has also put together a very interesting research paper on the effect of minimum parking requirements. Here's the abstract:
District plans continue to mandate the provision of vast amounts of parking for most new developments. Parking standards are based on the demand for free parking at the peak hour of each individual site, which creates an oversupply and fails to recognise the value of land used for car parks. This approach reduces the supply and thus drives up the price of urban land available for economically productive uses (residential, commercial and retail) and distributes the costs throughout the economy. Minimum parking standards undermine sustainable city development by inhibiting compact growth and subsidising single-occupant vehicle trips. In this paper, we outline the history of minimum parking requirements and their unintended consequences on our sprawling urban form. We refer to a case study in a New Zealand town centre, and explain the negative impacts – economic, social and environmental – of the current approach to parking management, including how district plan parking requirements act as a barrier to the goals of sustainable growth and transport strategies.
We present a number of regulatory responses that can reform parking standards and result in low cost, "win-win" approaches to parking management – which will facilitate smart growth and sustainable transport modes, reduce compliance costs, and provide a range of modest benefits to everyone, even those looking for a convenient car park. Finally, parking is often a contentious political issue. We consider the difficulties of implementing parking reform in an environment where people are accustomed to ample free parking. Public education and involvement in the process of instituting new parking management policies will be essential to ensure that communities understand the benefits and welcome a sustainable approach.
What is interesting here is that the solution (or at least a big part of it) to many of the problems that we face in Auckland, such as auto-dependency, urban sprawl and their ill effects, could be quite as simple as getting rid of a few rules. Usually complicated problems have incredibly difficult solutions, which often involve putting in a whole pile of new rules and having to be really really careful to ensure you get those rules right. Of course it's not quite that simple, as getting rid of off-street parking would put pressure on street parking, although that can always be managed through either charging for on-street parking, or regulating it through limiting the time a car can be parked.
While there are a lot of issues relating to parking that I will, over time, get around to explaining and exploring further, I really want to focus on the economic cost of minimum parking requirements, and how this "free" parking is a huge hidden subsidy for road users that is generally completely ignored when working out whether road users pay their way or not. So, what is wrong with minimum parking requirements (MPR) in an economic sense? Here's an extract from Julie's paper: While it's difficult to ascertain in dollar amounts what the economic cost of minimum parking requirements are, there are a few hints that we can get from parts of the city that don't have these District Plan Rules – most notably the CBD. Generally parking in Auckland's CBD will cost you at least $12-15 a day, and that's on a "once in, once out" basis which generally requires you to be "in" before a certain time of the morning. Going by a 48 week working year, that's around $3120 a year that someone would spend on parking in Auckland's CBD – which they generally do not have to pay when working in other parts of the city (although obviously parking charges are likely to be lower out of the CBD due to lower land values). Interestingly, a year's worth of unlimited public transport travel on Auckland's buses or trains (not 'and' trains yet due to the stupid lack of integrated ticketing) would cost around $1920.
Even if it really costs $5 a day to provide someone with a parking space at their work (quite a conservative figure for someone working in one of the smaller centres, or at an office park somewhere), that's a $1200 a year subsidy that could be going to your pay-packet instead of to a parking space. If people actually had the choice between the two, I wonder if they'd take the extra cash and ride the bus? The real problem is that council rules don't allow that choice – they instead anticipate that everyone will want to drive and then force the building's developers to provide parking for each an every person wanting to work there. If you took away those rules then I think there would be a far greater incentive for companies to locate in areas with good public transport (after all, they do want their staff to be able to get to work) so they can get away with not having to spend so much money on providing parking. This would both increase public transport use, and curb sprawl.
Taking an average of $1200 per worker, and let's say there are around 500,000 people working in the Auckland Region who don't have to pay for parking (just over a third of of the population seems a reasonable estimate), we're talking about a potential $600 million a year subsidy to road users from minimum parking requirements. That's a LOT of money.

Treaty Energy Corporation Announces Signing of Drilling Contracts on the Stockton #2 and #3 Wells in Tuscola, Texas
Treaty Energy Completed and Signed All Drilling Contracts and Pre-Geology Work for Two New Wells; Expects Drilling to Begin by September 25, 2013.
Sep 19, 2013, 07:45 ET from Treaty Energy Corporation
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Treaty Energy Corporation (OTCQB: TECO) (http://www.treatyenergy.com), a growth-oriented international energy company, today announced that the Company has signed contracts to begin drilling two self-funded and already permitted wells in Tuscola, Texas. Drilling is expected to begin as early as Saturday, September 21, 2013 but may begin as late as Wednesday, September 25, 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130716/MM48083LOGO)
On June 28, 2013, Treaty Energy acquired a working interest on the Stockton lease from U.S. Fuels, Inc. of Breckenridge, Texas. This working interest included a 75% net revenue interest (NRI) and a 100% working interest (W/I). The remaining 25% NRI is dedicated to existing overriding royalty interests (ORRI).
On July 17, 2013, the Company announced it had completed survey work and were solidifying plans to drill two offset wells from the Mitchell lease on the Stockton lease. Requests for drilling permits were filed approximately two weeks after survey work was completed. The Company received permitted approval to drill the two wells on August 6, 2013 from the Texas Railroad Commission (TRRC).
The Company finalized and signed contracts on September 11, 2013 to begin drilling the two planned wells on the Stockton lease. As previously announced, the Company has sought no partners on the project and will be completely self-funded. The Company's self-funding grants 100% of the 75% NRI as revenue for the Company.
Due to proximity and same field geology, initial production numbers and estimated production rates are expected to be similar to the Mitchell #4 well, which received an initial production rate of 61 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and an announced production rate of 45-50 BOPD. Both wells will be drilled to an approximate depth of 4800ft and will be drilled sequentially. Based on the Mitchell's production rates, the Stockton wells combined are expected to bring in approximately $205,000 in revenue within thirty days of completion.
As part of the Stockton lease development, the Company recently purchased the Stockton #1 well. The strategic Stockton #1 purchase reduced the capital needed to begin work on the project by supplying an existing oil and gas infrastructure, namely the tank batteries and water separators. Both of these were recently repaired by the Company in order to remove the Mitchell #1 from severance.
The Company plans to complete site preparations by the end of this week and will begin drilling shortly thereafter. The exact start date is dependent on the completion of another scheduled drilling project and completion of the site preparations. Well operations and drilling oversight on the Stockton lease will be handled by David Jakobot of U.S. Fuels, Inc.
Andrew Reid, Chief Executive Officer of Treaty Energy, stated, "The Company is excited to begin the Stockton project and shareholders should be excited as well. The Stockton project will continue to move the Company closer to cash flow positive status and will provide us with more capital to start new projects and revamp existing operations. Initial revenue from the Stockton wells will be used to return to the Madeley 'F', Lakeshore and Hill leases in East Texas."

These properties are not strategic to large exploration-oriented oil and gas companies. This strategy allows Treaty to develop and produce oil and natural gas with tremendously decreased risk, cost and time involved in traditional exploration.

Sunday, September 9th is National Grandparents Day. First declared a holiday by President Carter in 1978, the occasion celebrates grandparents' contributions to family life and society. Using Social Explorer, we can look at the number of grandparents in the US, and their relationships with their grandchildren. Census and American Community Survey data show the role of grandparents over the past decade.
In 2000, 5,771,671 grandparents lived with their own grandchildren (under 18 years old). That is 3.6 percent of all adults.
In 2010, 7,010,181 grandparents lived with own grandchildren, including grandmother-in-chief Marian Lois Robinson, who lives with the first family at the White House (see photo). That is 3.8 percent of all adults, representing a slight increase from 2000.
The number of grandparents who are responsible for their grandchildren has also increased. In 2000, 2,426,730 grandparents were the custodians. In 2010, 2,737,863 were the custodians, representing a 12.8 percent increase. (Photo: President Obama with his grandmother Madelyn Dunham, who raised him for much of his youth.)

Using Serial RapidIO for FPGA co-processing
Post a comment
For more on Serial RapidIO, see The RapidIO High-Speed Interconnect: A Technical Overview, Easy multiprocessor design with sRIO and MSGQ, and Partitioning video across multiple DSPs and FPGAs.
Today's ever increasing demand for high-speed communication and super-fast computing in support of "triple-play" applications is creating new challenges for system developers, algorithm developers and hardware engineers alike who need to draw together a multitude of standards, components and networking equipment. At the same time, developers need to keep pace with increasing demands for performance while keeping costs low. These feats can be accomplished by leveraging Serial RapidIO-enabled FPGAs as DSP co-processors.
Because triple-play applications unite voice, video and data, development and system optimization strategies must be parameterized using newer algorithms. Specific challenges that developers need to address include building scalable and extensible architectures, supporting distributed processing, using standards-based design, and optimizing for performance and cost.
A closer look at these challenges reveals two themes: Connectivity—which is essentially "fast" data movement across devices, boards and systems—and Computing power—i.e., the individual processing resources that are available in the devices, boards and systems—address the needs of the application.
Connectivity across compute platforms
Standards-based designs are usually much easier than "roll your own" designs, and are the norm of the day. Parallel connectivity standards (PCI, PCI-X, EMIF, etc) can meet today's demands, but fall short when scalability and extensibility are taken into consideration. With the advent of packet-based processing, the trend is clearly towards high-speed serial connectivity. Figure 1 illustrates this trend.
(Click to enlarge)
Figure 1. Trend towards serial connectivity
High speed serial standards like PCIe and GbE/XAUI have been adopted in the desktop and networking industry. Meanwhile, data processing systems in wireless infrastructure have slightly different interconnect requirements:
- Low pin count
- Backplane and chip-to-chip connectivity
- Bandwidth and speed scalability
- DMA and message passing
- Support for complex scalable topologies
- Multicast
- High reliability
- Time of day synchronization
- Quality of Service (QoS)
The Serial RapidIO (SRIO) protocol standard can easily meet and exceed most of these requirements and has become the dominant interconnect for data-plane connectivity in wireless infrastructure equipment. SRIO networks are built around two "Basic Blocks" – Endpoints and Switches. Endpoints source and sink packets, while Switches pass packets between ports without interpreting them. Figure 2 shows SRIO network building blocks.
Figure 2. SRIO network building blocks
Serial RapidIO is specified as a 3-layer architectural hierarchy, illustrated in Figure 3. It has the following elements
Physical Layer—describes the device-level interface specifics such as packet transport mechanisms, flow control, electrical characteristics, and low-level error management.
Transport Layer—provides routing information for moving packets between endpoints. Switches operate at the transport layer by using device-based routing.
Logical Layer—defines the overall protocol and packet formats. All packets contain 256 payload bytes or less. The transactions use Load, Store, or DMA operations targeting a 34 / 50 / 66-bit address space.

Anyway,this is some BS.Why would they start w/ the "urban" shows
"Power" was the highest rated show on the network,
so they tried to play hardball by cancelling the urban channels..

Sabres 5, Devils 4
Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek scored shootout goals, and the Buffalo Sabres won in Lindy Ruff's 1,000th game as their coach, beating the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night in Newark.
The Devils' frustration was never more evident than when $100 million free agent Ilya Kovalchuk had the puck slip off his stick and wasn't able to get a shot on the Devils' fourth and final shootout attempt. Jason Arnott scored twice, and David Clarkson and Jamie Langenbrunner added goals for New Jersey.

Venture capital returns still declining / Dramatic drop recorded for 9th consecutive quarter
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, July 24, 2003
Short-term returns on venture capital investments have dropped for the ninth straight quarter, highlighting the severity of the technology downturn, according to a study released Wednesday.
One-year returns on venture capital funds dropped 29.1 percent in the first quarter of 2003, said the report from the National Venture Capital Association and Thomson Venture Economics.
Three-year returns on funds invested at the peak of the stock market boom, in 1999 and 2000, bore the brunt of the economic downturn, declining 17.1 percent.
The report comes amid some speculation about an initial public offering boomlet, marked by an uptick in the Nasdaq.

One-year returns for the Nasdaq were down 27.3 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2003, according to Thomson Venture Economics and the Venture Capital association. But first-quarter Nasdaq returns were up 0.4 percent.
The market continued to rally after that, returning nearly 20 percent on the year to date.
The recent improvement in tech stocks has helped a handful of startups successfully go public in the past few months, including InterVideo, a Fremont digital video software firm that raised $39.2 million last week.
But John Taylor, vice president for research of the National Venture Capital Association, said it's too soon to tell if IPOs are about to bounce back.
"Is it possible that valuations have hit bottom? Maybe," he said. "But that doesn't mean they're going to snap back soon. . . . People are trying to grab on to anything that looks good."
Venture capital funding has dropped dramatically over the past few years, from a peak of $106 billion in 2000 to $23 billion last year, Taylor said. He said industry analysts projected this year's investments to reach only $15 billion.
A key problem is the depressed information technology market, which has made it harder for tech firms, including startups, to grow.
But Taylor noted that venture capital investments are typically long-term commitments.
"These are the time horizons we are watching, and to date, they remain fairly stable," he said in a statement.

'Captain Phillips' Director to Direct 'The Director' as New Directing Gig
by Ethan Anderton
January 15, 2014
Source: The Wrap
After bringing the real-life story of Captain Phillips to life (which we'll likely see getting some Oscar nominations tomorrow morning), director Paul Greegrass may have found a new project. The Wrap reports that Sony Pictures has picked up the rights to David Ignatius' spy novel The Director, winning a bidding war against other studios. While the filmmaker's involvement isn't official, Greengrass has every intention of adapting the book himself and directing the film. This isn't the first time Ignatius' work has hit the big screen since he wrote Body of Lies, turned into the film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe.
As for the story of The Director, here's the official synopsis:
Graham Weber has been director of the CIA for less than a week when a Swiss kid in a dirty T-shirt walks into the American consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he has a list of agents' names to prove it. This is the moment a CIA director most dreads. Weber isn't sure where to turn until he meets a charismatic (and unstable) young man named James Morris who runs the Internet Operations Center. He's the CIA's in-house geek. Weber launches Morris on a mole hunt unlike anything in spy fiction—one that takes the reader into the hacker underground of Europe and America and ends up in a landscape of paranoia and betrayal. Like the new world of cyber-espionage from which it's drawn, The Director is a maze of deception and double-dealing— about a world where everything is written in zeroes and ones and nothing can be trusted.
The book itself doesn't hit shelves until June, so people should be much more familiar with the title once it's available to read. The new project actually marks Michael De Luca's first deal since taking the role of president of production at Sony Pictures, where he also produced Captain Phillips for Greengrass. The plot sounds like the perfect story for Greengrass after spy thrillers like The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum with Matt Damon really raised his profile. Is this the kind of spy thriller that could get Oscar attention, or will it just be some compelling entertainment like the Jason Bourne franchis? We'll see.

Insights on unemployment, unemployment insurance, and mental health
This paper contributes to the growing literature on the relationship between business cycles and mental health. It is one of the first applications in the economics literature to incorporate data on web searches from Google Insights for Search, and these unique data allow the opportunity to estimate the association between weekly unemployment insurance (UI) claims, in addition to monthly unemployment rates, and search indexes for "depression" and "anxiety". Results from state fixed effects models yield (1) a positive relationship between the unemployment rate and the depression search index and (2) a negative relationship between initial UI claims on the one hand and the depression and anxiety search indexes on the other. A lag analysis also shows that an extended period of higher levels of continued UI claims is associated with a higher depression search index.

MIAMI, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Brazilian state energy firm Petrobras is planning to open gas stations in Japan with the intent of distributing its sugar-based ethanol to the energy-hungry nation.
While gasoline will constitute the majority of sales at Petrobras stations in Japan for now, sugar-based ethanol produced in Brazil will also be a featured fuel.
Brazilian energy officials said they hope to establish a foothold for Petrobras stations in Japan, then expand to other part of Asia, including India.
The South American ethanol producer leads among nations exporting ethanol to Japan, followed by the United States. Nearly 80 percent of Japan's ethanol imports -- estimated at more than 100 million gallons per year -- come from Brazil.
Petrobras estimates that Japan's ethanol consumption could reach nearly 3 billion gallons annually following the passing of a projected law regulating emissions there, Brazil's Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported this week.
Japan's interest in Brazil's ethanol was piqued in 2004 when Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited an ethanol production facility in Brazil and said his country was interested in the alternative fuel as a means of meeting the demands of the global environmental agreement known as the Kyoto Protocol.
The Brazil-Japan ethanol relationship has grown significantly since then with the announcement in 2005 of the formation of the Brazil-Japan Ethanol Co., a partnership between Petrobras and Japan's Nippon Alcohol Hanbai.
At the time, Petrobras proclaimed the union would "seek to identify technical and commercial solutions for inserting ethanol into the Japanese energy matrix in substitution for fossil fuels and in line with the objective of reducing greenhouse gases."
While environmental objectives for reducing Japan's greenhouse gases have yet to be met, the Brasilia-Tokyo ethanol connection has grown stronger, with Japan pledging some $8 billion last year to purchase minority stakes in 40 ethanol plants throughout Brazil.
The two nations have also discussed the creation of a new ethanol pipeline in Brazil to help facilitate the export of the alternative fuel to Japan for decades to come.
In 2006 the two countries said they would provide each other insights on how to improve ethanol production in the hopes that more of Japan's private-sector business would adopt the use of the alternative fuel.
While ties with Japan have certainly helped Brazil's ethanol producers increase output and profits over the last several years, the industry continues to face problems with its image, both at home and abroad, as some critics of the world's largest ethanol exporter contend that increasing Brazil's ethanol production will lead to greater deforestation of the Amazon.
Dilma Rousseff, the chief of staff for Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, defended the Brazilian ethanol industry at an international energy conference in November, saying the industry was being unfairly maligned for causing deforestation in the world's largest rainforest, which in recent months has experienced an increase in the rate of destruction, according to satellite photos of part of the region.
Rousseff told officials Brazil must "destroy the myth that sugarcane fields are encroaching on the Amazon," noting that Brazil's cane production takes up less than 1 percent of the South American country's total land.
For years Brazilian energy experts have refuted claims that the ethanol sector was a contributor to Amazon destruction, noting that the climate of the forest region is not ideal for cane growth. Much of Brazil's ethanol production comes from the more temperate clime of Sao Paulo state in the country's southeast.
However, detractors contend that Brazilian cane growers are already pushing the boundaries of the Amazon and that the industry's expansion during the last several years because of rising oil prices is responsible for farmers switching to sugarcane in already established agricultural regions and prompting those growing other crops to encroach on the Amazon.
Alternative-fuel experts contend that the ethanol industry in Brazil will continue to grow as long as oil prices remain relatively high, a condition that could mean continued criticism of the Brazilian ethanol sector for years to come.
"Given the strong ethanol market, one would expect that in the medium term, production of ethanol will also increase as sugarcane production rises to meet both sugar and ethanol demand," noted Amani Elobeid, an ethanol analyst at the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at Iowa State University.
Criticism of the ethanol sector in Brazil is nothing new, nor is its defense by the Lula administration and the Brazilian leader himself.
Earlier this year Lula said the world's oil companies were behind the bad press regarding his country's ethanol sector, denying claims by some that the industry uses slave labor and is responsible for deforestation in the Amazon.

hacking jsp (4 messages)
So if I would want to check out the JSP code in a website that uses jsp's wich I would of course want to do SOLELY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ;) is there any standard hacking procedure like there is in peeking at ASP pages hosted on IIS ? Remember I am a very good citizen you know. I have no bad intentions ! ;)

I should certainly hope not. If there was, then I would be embarrassed because then people would learn that I occasionally embed small scriptlets in my JSP's. :)

I don't know of anyway to do this, but why don't you tell us how it is done for ASP? I wasn't aware that there was a way to see that from a browser.
hacking jsp[ Go to top ]
Viewing the source of an ASP/JSP (and also PHP, PERL, PYTHON, ...) page is only possible by using (exploiting)bug's of the server or container.
- Posted by: Mathias Bogaert

- in response to Floyd Marinescu
These languages are SERVER-SIDE and not intended to be 'open-source'.
You can view the source of ASP pages by using following requests:
test.asp::$DATE (old)
test.asp+.htr (newer, but mostly fixed)
executing cmd.exe by using unicodes to type a asp page (new)
and other more difficult methods (setting server vars, ...)
To view the source of a JSP page you need to be aware of a server bug. I remember there was a bug in Tomcat or some other server (early beta) where the source of a page could be viewed by changing the extension to uppercase (page.jsp -> page.JSP (source))....
So...good luck finding bugs... :))

I was going to reply earlier but I couldn't find the IIS-ASP bug story anymore. This is what I meant. I know it's not really nice to try and outsmart the intended 'closed-source' but sometimes I just wish I could take a look at how other people solve things. Most of the time I end up writing my own code anyway because thinking about it on my own is usually less of a hassle than trying to figure out someone else's code. Hacking the JSP code would be much less usefull than in the case of ASP since the bulk would still be hidden.
P.S. Floyd, isn't that true!! I am starting to feel ambivalent towards those rigid coding morals! Some people are clearly overdoing it! But don't worry Floyd I wouldn't hold against you! Don't let them bad boys tell you you can't use scriptlets. LOL!

There was a "ConsoleHelp" vulnerability in a version of WebLogic that let you see the JSP source if you did something special to the URL in the browser (hee hee).

- in response to Sevz Newton
Easily plugged by turning off the feature in weblogic.properties. However, perhaps such vulnerabilities are a good argument for "presentation-only" JSPs... maybe
source code for business logic shouldn't really be sitting under a document root of a web server, hmmm?
Can't view it if it isn't there (so use a Servlet as entry-point, JSP for layout).

This isn't over. Not by a long shot.
On Monday afternoon a suburban street in Logan, south of Brisbane, was torn apart by racial violence. Fragile peace has returned but Melissa Lucashenko predicts it won't last long.
At five on Monday afternoon I hear a dull roar from literally the wrong side of the tracks, three streets away. I run up to the park and instruct the neighbourhood kids (suddenly perched high in a tree for better wide-screen viewing of the brawl) to take themselves home.
"Oh," protests Travis, "I was going to buy dinner up Smith Street shops."
Not tonight kiddo, I tell him.
Minutes later, police choppers arrive, and I decide to go check it out.
When I reach the smashed house that is the latest source of Aboriginal grievance, about 50 Murries are milling in the front yard, talking, and texting. The crowd ranges from young teenagers up to an ancient uncle sitting in a folding chair with a cup of tea. The little kids are all inside.
I am welcomed by an Aunty and we stand and assess the danger level as a dozen young shirtless warriors pace angrily about or stare at the enemy a hundred metres distant, on the other side of the shops.
There has been two nights of clashes; the house has broken windows, and gaping fist-sized holes in its fibro walls. There are choppers overhead but, astonishingly, only four cops visible – all white and under thirty.
A Murri woman confronts them: where are the Aboriginal cops? She is incensed that Samoan cops were used at the house yesterday.
The shirtless young Murri men exchange violent invitations with the top of the street, and beckon the Islanders to come on down if they're game. After half an hour, without any clear catalyst, the Murri group surges towards the Samoans, and it's on.
As I move towards the front line I hear one of the cops close to panic on his phone: "We need everyone here!"
Well, everyone is here. Everyone in this part of Logan City with a grievance is here, or that's how it feels. Some Murries because they live here and their house and cars got smashed; some because relatives have died at Polynesian hands, some because they are sick of ongoing gang intimidation. Some, like me, are here out of a general sense of obligation to be where blackfellas are at risk.
The gossip flying around is that four Aboriginal deaths in Logan can be pinned on Samoans. The latest (officially a suicide) is a teenage boy recently killed by a train immediately after being confronted by three Islanders. The crowd is incensed by this, and by the previous night's attack on the Aboriginal Pastor's house, and is in no mood for compromise.
One huge white-skinned Murri has covered his head for battle. Only his eyes show.
The noise at the top of the street is intense. Young trees are being destroyed around me for weapons. A chant reminiscent of Hanson erupts, (John Howard would be proud): "This is our land!" The choppers seem to get closer.
Uncle Tiga Bayles, head of Brisbane Indigenous Media Association and a senior man in the Murri community, is a huge six-foot-four-inch presence, a red pit bull bitch by his side on a short chain. Uncle Tiga's shaven head is always near the front of the action, patrolling, watching, doing what Elders do. Unlike some of the younger men, he isn't carrying a weapon. It's a bloody big pit bull though, and as the noise reaches a crescendo she begins howling along.
Tiga seems to me like the single point of real authority in the whole chaotic scene. Then flashing cop cars screech in and an army of cops materialises.
The media are filming for all they're worth, but they backtrack pretty fast when those around me start ripping a six-foot paling fence apart to use the battens as waddies. Camera stands are left abandoned on the business side of the low wire mesh fence around the shops. The action is directly in front of me; maybe a dozen cops now, trying stop 50 enraged rioters from getting at each other.
I and another Murri take the camera stands away from the front line. I don't care if they get smashed, but metal doesn't splinter, and I don't want them used as weapons.
Half a fence paling is flung, nails-up, on the road in front of me. It's not clear if the police line is going to hold; I pick it up. Moments later, I change my mind and hurl it over to the media side of the wire fence, where no-one will get brained with it. I retrieve a pick handle that appears at my feet shortly after, and hold it across the back of my neck for the next 20 minutes. I tell myself it's for the same reason, but the comfort of holding this very heavy weapon in my hands can't be understated.
The anger is very focussed. When some of the young blokes want to smash cop cars, or get into it with the uniforms, they are reminded promptly and sharply, often by women: Our fight's with the Tongans. (synonymous, in this setting, with Samoan).
Both sides are screaming, threatening, gesturing with torn pieces of fence, baseball bats, bricks. I'm sure its going to blow, but after several tense minutes the mobs are physically forced apart by the cops.
Slowly, the two groups retreat to their respective ends of the street.
Back at the house the angry talk is of 'one-on-one' fights to satisfy honour. I'm told eight such contests happened the previous night in a rough semblance of Aboriginal traditional justice; the word is that eight Polynesians in turn were smashed by their Aboriginal opponents.
It's not long before a simmering domestic dispute threatens to blow the extremely fragile peace at the smashed house.
The chronically unhinged mother of the dead boy is here, her grief absolute. She's very messy and desperate to find her dead son's phone. Accusations fly between her and her girlfriend, and two of the hot-headed young men are triggered.
"You come here to me and I'll hit you like a man," one threatens her.
The occupants of the house – the Christian family – protest strongly. "We are peaceful people, we don't want this happening here."
I quietly get rid of a few bottles and pavers – missiles - that are lying around. Someone else takes grog away from the bereaved mother and hides it. "No grog here".
The focus returns to the Islanders. A second surge up the street, not quite as far this time, since 20 crossed-arm uniforms now stretch across the top of Smith Street. (One cop is clearly Maori but luckily for him it seems like a distinction is being made tonight between Islander and Kiwi. The minimal crap that he gets is for simply being a police).
A young man of 20 thunders past, outraged: "Ah, this faggot copper's put his hand on his gun now!"
I hear other boys yelling about going for what is either bombs or bongs, and hope it's the latter.
Chairs are brought onto the lawn; these will turn into more weapons, I predict unhappily, as I sit next to the Aunty who first welcomed me. She's cold. I get her a tee-shirt from my car.
The grandmother of the dead boy, mother of the deranged woman, alleges that white police threatened to rape her (the grandmother) during the previous night's goings-on; she gives a vivid and believable account.
As cop cars come and go up the side street and the young men brood with their weapons (one kicks the wooden fence gate open in anger; another growls him for it) the Aunty and I start in on that age-old Aboriginal pastime, talking genealogies. Our connections are tenuous, but tonight that's good enough.
The crowd mills about edgily, watching the cops watching them, wanting more and expecting more, until the Christian home owners decide they have no alternative but to lock the house and leave. They will turn the other cheek, take the young women and little kids to safer houses. The cops run the same line – get in our bus and we'll get you out of here, or we won't be responsible for your safety.
I drive five youngsters through the police blockade to the next suburb and drop them with relatives. Then I head home, still hyped, and as I sit in my study and write this piece, I can hear dogs barking, people screaming, and sirens, from just over there in Smith Street, just the other side of the tracks.
January 26, Australia Day, that traditional slap in the face to Aboriginal Australia, is just over a week away, and I think: this isn't over, not by a long shot.

Plantation shutters are the best solution for the bathroom window treatment. They look stylish, classy, and elegant and they tend to add ambience to the room. They are practical and very easy to clean. Curtains and blinds just don't fit in the bathroom because of the damage they are likely to get from the water or simply the moisture in the room. Moist can cause a lot of problems to such window treatment like mildew for curtains and warping for blinds.
When you use bathroom shutters, they add the ideal balance of light as well as privacy and they tend to create a solution for screening bathroom windows. These new bathroom window shutters are adaptive to all interior designs. They are available in a wide range of colors and are usually painted using resistant acrylic paint. Teak or western red cedar is especially good for a natural wood finish as they are not affected what so ever by moisture.
* Cedar shutters over bath
These bathroom shutters are adjustable and they are manufactures from western red cedar. They are hand crafted and guarantee an investment worth having in your home. When shutter are adjustable they maximize your options to allow light and air in the bathroom and they are designed in the way you want them to match with your home. To make them even better for interior use, they are finished in oil and sometimes in lacquer so as to bring out the natural beauty of the wood used to make them. They could also be painted in a color of your choice to match your decor and make them look elegant.
* Contemporary art wood for small windows
S:craft contemporary art wood ranges are elegant as they are functional and they used in the interior window covering. Most of the time they are imported from china but they are custom made to fit your bathroom window just the way it is and they are made to the highest quality. They are usually available in a wide range of wood, finishes color and composites. Art wood is actually a manmade composite but it is very much water resistant and does not wear easily. This are some of the things that make them so ideal for the bathroom and they could also be used in other places that are moisture prone or even areas that are subjected to wear and tear.
* Half height shutters
When you visit s:craft you will find that there are ranges of interior bathroom shutters. Half height shutters are a good option that you can have installed if you do not have so much space in the bathroom and you will still get to enjoy the sunlight as you take your morning shower. Half height window shutters provide a clear view from the top and they are designed to cover the bottom of the bathroom window. They are very easy to clean and maintain and they are perfect for your bathroom. These shutters block out the outside from you like the parking lot of the passerby and they do it with style. They are very good for people who have children because they do not come with any chords for them to pull on. They offer privacy and light control; they are durable and you can have them from any material of your choice from wood to composite.
* Large end bathroom shutters
Some people simply prefer to have large windows and they still fit perfectly with shutters. Most people find it trickier to in-corporate shutters into large windows but you can get experts at S: craft who will install large bathroom shutters for you. They could actually be put into a system with tracks for them to run and hand from. This way they will be stable and with the track system holding on all their weight. There is no specific bathroom shutter size so you can easily have these if they are what you prefer.
* Oiled cedar bathroom shutters
These are beautiful pieces that almost have no match. They look great they feel great and they give you bathroom that classy look that just makes you feel proud. They are, made from genuine red cedar, they are lightweight and yet very strong. The western cedar can be classed as softwood and it comes from the cypress family of trees. These bathroom shutters that you could easily find at S: craft offer insulation of all other timber type shutters. They are treated with the lacquer which makes them ideal to be in the bathroom but they are supposed to be installed externally. They are good for the bathroom because no one will be interfering with them here because if cedar is exposed to hits and breaks, very little could be done for the repair.
* Vinyl window shutters
These are another very good treatment for the window in the bathroom because they are effective as well as attractive and you cam most certainly get them at a lower price. What make them a great choice is that they don't peel, crack or fade and they could be painted to your desire. Vinyl shutters are as much water proof as they are fire retardant, they have insulating features and they are of good quality. They are easy to clean and maintain as well and you will not necessarily need special cleanser for them. You should head on to S: craft to check out the kind of vinyl bathroom shutters they have so you can compare and decide the one you are going to have installed in your bathroom.
Vinyl shutters come in different styles and you could chose from raised panel, louvered, or a combination of both. For a more traditional look in your bathroom, you should get the board and batten shutters. You can pick whatever color compliments your bathroom. They are a good option even though there are better options in the market but they do just fine if you are on a budget and they will update the look of your bathroom without breaking a bat.
