While hiding from the limelight, Banksy has made himself into one of the world's best-known living artists. His pieces have fetched millions of dollars at prestigious auction houses. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his film Exit Through the Gift Shop. Once viewed as vandalism, his work is now venerated; fans have gone so far as to dismantle the walls that he has painted on for collection and sale.
Now, in the first ever full-scale investigation of the artist, reporter Will Ellsworth-Jones pieces together the story of Banksy, building up a picture of the man and the world in which he operates. He talks to his friends and enemies, those who knew him in his early, unnoticed days, and those who have watched him try to come to terms with his newfound fame and success.
Banksy offers a revealing glimpse at an enigmatic figure and a riveting account of how a self-professed vandal became an international icon—and turned the art world upside down in the process.
You can pre-order Banksy: The Man Behind the Wall from Amazon for about $17 USD.

Booker guarantees like Joe Namath
Mayor Cory Booker channeled Broadway Joe to set the bar high for President Barack Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night.
Mixing sports metaphors like a political pro, the Newark mayor told POLITICO: "I think he's going to hit it out of the park. I'm Joe Namath right now predicting a big victory tonight."
Story Continued Below
Namath famously guaranteed that his underdog New York Jets would win Super Bowl III in 1969.
His performance fulfilled that guarantee, as he was named MVP in the Jets' 16-7 win over the Colts.

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 12 Premiere: 4 Memorable Moments [VIDEOS]
'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 premiered tonight, and while it lacked the headline power of Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin, there were plenty of memorable moments that will have everyone talking at the post-show watercooler. Here are the four that stood out the most:
1.) A Star Is Reborn
Ralph Macchio may not be the most famous member of the season 12 cast, but the 'Karate Kid' star definitely made a name for himself tonight with a show-stopping foxtrot. The routine earned Macchio and partner Karina Smirnoff the highest score of the night (24), and set the bar high for the rest of the season. After tonight, Macchio moved one quick step closer to the Mirror Ball Trophy.

Hunger to win a trophy is Ulster's big motivation
There's a team meeting to be attended somewhere in the maze of corridors at the Lough Erne Resort Hotel and, even though the clock is ticking, Jonny Bell still has time to outline Ulster's gnawing hunger to capture a trophy, or trophies, this season.
"We want silverware this year," says the assistant coach with responsibility for Ulster's defensive patterns.
"There is an expectation from within that we want to push ourselves as far as we can and we want silverware with that," adds the 39-year-old who was a key player in Ulster's European success back in 1999.
"We're not happy with just a quarter-final, a semi-final or a final, we want silverware this year whether it's Pro12, Europe or both."
Of course the Ulster defence coach now has to plot a way to nullify the side now overseen by his former playing colleague and long-time friend Mark McCall, who also coached the hard tackling centre in the latter part of Bell's playing career at Ulster.
"I'd speak to Mark regularly and we're good friends, as is the case with Mark and David Humphreys and a number of other people around here.
"Mark knows what a seriously good outfit we have and we know what a really good side they have," Bell (pictured) adds.
"We know that they have a strong team culture and a really good work ethic and we also know they will be hungry.
"But there will be nobody hungrier than us. We'll certainly respect them but we know we can match them and beat them."
It will certainly require a huge step up in performance to derail Premiership leaders Saracens, and their ambitions of going on to win a first Heineken Cup, and even though Ulster produced a tremendous defensive finish to down Leinster last weekend in Dublin for the first time in 14 years – Bell was part of the side which triumphed in August 1999 – much more will be needed in Twickenham on Saturday.
As Bell explains, winning last season in the quarter-final at Munster and then, this term, demolishing Northampton Saints at Franklin's Gardens, winning for the first time in France at Castres and seeing off Leinster at the RDS are all key milestones in the evolution of this side, but will count for little unless Saracens also become an Ulster scalp.
"Yes, our performance is going to need to be greater as these guys base their game on pressure, getting into your territory and grinding you.
"They can keep the ball for long periods of time and they challenge you to stay on your feet and get back into the defensive line."
He also emphasises how vital it is for Ulster to stay disciplined – Owen Farrell or Charlie Hodgson will punish them otherwise – and for team leaders Johann Muller, Rory Best and Chris Henry to bring that added guidance to how things evolve around them.
Returning to the scene of last season's final drubbing at the hands of Leinster, even though Twickenham is a 'home' venue for Saracens, also holds no fears for the side, Bell argues.
"That experience will stand them in good stead because that high pressure environment lends itself to giving you a bit of steel.
"We know we have that support behind us but it's about us getting on with the business in hand, we're hungry and determined to get into another Heineken Cup semi-final.
"You have to beat the top sides and that's what we have to do."

The Molex family of FDDI duplex connectors utilize a variable keying system to ensure proper port mating identification and polarity. When combined with the unique Molex termination process, these connectors produce quick and consistent FDDI terminations. The type of port and service on the connector is easily identified by the color coded and polarized keys provided with these connectors.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) developed a standard that provides for flexible, robust high-performance local area networks. This high-speed, 100 megabit per second standard is called the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). In support of this standard, Molex has developed its FDDI family of fiber optic duplex connector and adapter products.
Molex adapters are available in a variety of mating and mounting configurations. All are made of strong and durable engineering polymers and have either precision ceramic or polymer alignment sleeves. Polarity maintaining and color coded keys, that are compatible with the port designation on the connector, are provided with the adapters.

Every Single Catching Fire Interview That's Worth Watching In One Place
As you may or may definitely know Catching Fire comes out this weekend. THIS WEEKEND. It's hard to believe that the movie's finally here. Especially since we've been waiting for it since we put the book down way back in 2001. Or whenever it came out. What is a date but a way to track the days before we separated into 12 districts and started murdering children for fun?
While we've patiently waited around for the movie to premiere, the cast has gone on what feels like a neverending press tour. Even though all their interviews are obviously amazing, some are more amazing than others. As in some I've watched several hundred times and some I've only seen twice. However since you probably don't work for the Internet like I do, I thought there's a small chance that you've missed a few of these. And that's okay. I understand that there are people in the world who don't wake up and search for Catching Fire cast interviews. Some people brush their teeth first. (And those people die first in the arena…but no judgement!)
To make sure you're fully prepared for what the best movie of the year — at least in the Dystopian Nightmares for Tweens category — I've rounded up my favorite interviews. Watch. Enjoy. And pray that one day you'll be half as entertaining as these people.
1. The one where Jennifer Lawrence eats an entire candy bracelet
I love candy and I love Jennifer Lawrence. So it makes sense mathematically that she also loves candy. And therefore can't resist from eating an entire candy bracelet during an interview. Nothing says "real live human being" more than someone munching away on pure sugar in the middle of answering questions.
2. The one where kangaroo sex comes up
First of all, I could listen Liam Hemsworth talk all the live long day. About, um, anything.(My obsession with Australian accents borders on unsafe. Seriously I would do anything for a man from down under. "Oh you want me to bludgeon him to death? Okay stud!") Throw in a story about Jen asking Liam if he'd ever had sex with a kangaroo and I'm in love.
3. The one where Jennifer Lawrence gives Josh Hutcherson the middle finger
Not since I put baking soda and vinegar together in 3rd grade have I seen the kind of chemistry that's between Josh and Jen. They're in love. And in like. Which is why watching them bounce off each other during these interviews makes me want to be their third wheel.
4. The one where Josh Hutcherson plays a prank of Sam Claflin
In case you didn't already want to go back in time and get cast as an extra in this movie just so you can be on set every day, this interview will do the trick. Not only do Josh and Jen mess with each other every single day, but they also mess with others. Or to be more specific, Peeta Mellark messed with Finnick Odair. Can you say bromance? (I mean don't because it's a very 2008 thing to say, but definitely think it.)
5. The one where Jennifer Lawrence threatens a reporter
What's so great about Jen (besides everything) is the fact that she's incredibly unfiltered. You really never know what will come out of her mouth. That's exactly why she's so fun to watch being interviewed. And/or threatening to take out an interviewer.
6. The one where Sam Claflin talks about not wearing clothes
Sorry I'm not sorry for wanting to think about Sam Claflin running amuck with nothing but a rope around his waist. I won't apologize for having hormones. And a career tribute fetish.

Former Rockdale dentist draws income tax evasion indictments
A former local dentist, who still resides in Rockdale, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts of income ta x evasion.
Dr. John R . Rinn was arrested at his home Thursday and taken before federal Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin, in Austin for his initial appearance on the charges.
He will be arraigned on Thursday, Oct. 28.
Michael Lemoine, special agent for the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) San Antonio Field Office said the charges allege Dr. Rinn stopped paying federal income tax in 1995 and "willfully attempted to evade and defeat the payment" of income taxes.
Dr. R inn said he has been indicted for "breaking a law that does not even exist" and charged the IRS is "attempting to characterize me to the local community as a criminal."
INDICTME NT— indictment alleges Dr. R inn owes $143,090 in income tax for 1995-2000, $6,656 for 2004 and $47,783 for 2005.
The indictments also allege he filed "false and fraudulent" W-4 forms and documents with the Milam County Clerk.
It also alleges he concealed the amount, true nature, source, extent and disposition of income by placing it in the name of an entity controlled by him.
It is also alleged that Dr. Rinn concealed proceeds he received upon the sale of an Affordable Dentures franchise he operated in Waco by assigning it to a "nominee" entity he controlled.
'SHOW ME THE LAW'— Dr. Rinn maintains he does not owe the income tax.
"I have been indicted for breaking a law that does not even exist," he told The Reporter. "This has been a 15-year ordeal where I have been told by US agents that I must 'voluntarily' pay a tax that no United States law even specifies."
"Over several years I wrote about 15 let ters to t he IR S, through my attorney, asking to be shown the law that applied to me and other Americans," he said.
"I affirmed that if they would show me the law I would immediately file returns for the years in question and pay any tax due," he said. "None of the letters was ever answered and they have steadfastly refused to show me that law at any time since."
SIXTH AMENDMENT— The indictment begins by quoting the Sixth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, ratified in 1913, which empowers Congress to "lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived.
It goes on to allege that Dr. Rinn has been "involved with several groups of individuals and entities, who have been found to promote well-known nationwide tax-evasion schemes."
The indictments lists those groups as including American Rights Litigators (ARL), which it says had power of attorney for Dr. Rinn, Americans for Lawful Financial Independence and Information and the Southern Oregon Resource Center Educational Services.
SHACKLES—" I was about to eat breakfast on my porch swing Thursday morning when two government cars wheeled into my driveway," Dr. Rinn said.
"I was cuffed, hands behind my back, along with ankle shackles. I was treated as a dangerous criminal who was a threat to society," he said.
"I can't expect anyone to simply believe my side of the story as being true," Dr. Rinn said. "People who know me well are aware that I am an honest and law-abiding man who has never been in trouble."
"Unfortunately the corrupt force that claims to be our government has totally run amok," he said.

The National Security Agency's capability to snoop on virtually all U.S. telecommunications has lost some of its punch. On Thursday, the Obama administration announced that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has approved two of the president's proposed changes.
In a speech on Jan. 17, President Obama ordered a restructuring of the NSA-run "bulk telephony metadata program," which had scarfed up records about millions of U.S. phone calls. The intent, according to a statement issued Thursday by Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper, is to "establish a mechanism that preserves the capabilities we need without the government holding this bulk data."
FISC has now approved the proposal that, unless there is a "true emergency," the collected telephony metadata can be mined only after the court itself has determined there is a "reasonable, articulable suspicion" of international terrorism. Previously, that determination of reasonableness was being made by the agency itself.
Additionally, any query into the metadata is now limited to extending only "two hops" from the targeted information — think of it as degrees of separation — instead of the previous three, thus narrowing the scope.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told news media after the court's approval of the changes that, while he is "glad" the administration is imposing some safeguards, the collection program must be more than reformed. "We should shut it down," the senator said.
Leahy isn't the only one who thinks that way. In fact, the independent, Obama-appointed NSA review panel also made such a recommendation. It urged that "the government should not be permitted to collect and store all mass, undigested, nonpublic personal information about individuals to enable future queries and data-mining for foreign intelligence purposes."
The panel's recommendation is the government should not store bulk telephony meta-data, but instead it should be held by private providers or a private third party, accessible only through a FISC order. The NSA has protested that storing the data outside of the agency could delay an investigation.
But what protects the public from the searching eye of the private parties? If a private party is holding the data, is the government controlling it? How does the NSA conduct its searches without holding the data?
Stay tuned.

'Counting Counters' printed from http://nrich.maths.org/
Show menu
Counting Counters
Take a counter and surround it by a ring of other counters that MUST touch two others. How many counters do you need to do this?
Imagine surrounding this ring with more counters.
How many more counters are needed now?
How many counters will there be altogether?
Were you right?
What about a bigger ring? And another? And another?
How many counters will there be in the $9$th ring?
How many do you think there will be in the $100$th ring?
How would you predict how many counters there will be in any ring?
Why do this problem?
This problem
gives an opportunity for children to generalise from a practical situation. It is easy to replicate these patterns in the classroom with counters, bottle tops etc.
Possible approach
You could begin by displaying
the image
in the problem and invite children to talk to a partner about what they notice.
After a short time, bring everyone together and ask pairs to share their thoughts. Use their observations to clarify how the images have been created and then lead into the first question. Ensure learners have access to counters and other similar resources to use in order to tackle the task, should they wish.
This task could extend over a few lessons and might culminate in pairs or small groups presenting findings to the rest of the class.
Key questions
Can you describe the pattern?
How many counters will you need to make the next 'one'?
How many counters have you used already?
Can you predict the number of counters you'll need for the next 'one'?
Can you predict the number of counters you'd need for any 'layer'?
Possible extension
Ask children to create their own increasing pattern so that they could predict the number of counters needed in any 'layer'.
Possible support
Having counters available to make the pattern, or drawing it, will help some children. They may find it useful to record the number of counters in each 'layer' too.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- A project manager at a U.S. Navy research facility in southern California has admitted steering work to a contractor in return for large bribes, officials say.
Gary Alexander, 50, is the fourth person to plead guilty in an investigation into bribery and fraud at the SPAWAR facility, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. He entered his plea Tuesday in front of U.S. Magistrate Barbara Lynn Major.
Prosecutors said that Alexander, an engineer who became project manager for the SPAWAR Air Surveillance and Reconnaissance branch, was the architect of the fraud. In 1999, after his wages were garnished as part of a bankruptcy, he suggested to Elizabeth Ramos, who owned Technical Logistics Corp. in National City with her husband Louis Williams, that he could steer contracts to the company in return for a percentage.
Pamela Banks, who started a company out of her home, agreed to a similar scheme in 2005, prosecutors said. Banks, Ramos, Williams and Alexander's wife, Kelly, have all pleaded guilty.
Alexander and his wife got $200,000 to $400,000 for steering almost $5 million in contracts to Technical Logistics, prosecutors said. They also got perks like a Palm Springs, Calif., vacation.
Sentencing is scheduled for February.

So when they titled this film "Bad Teacher", they were being pretty literal, I guess, because Cameron Diaz is one heck of a bad teacher. If by "bad" you mean really hot and "I'd love to have her for a teacher". Then again, that could just be the sight of the sweet Cameron Diaz cussing up a storm and saying sweet nothings like "F— my ass." Justin Timberlake is hilariously nerdy, too. The first red band trailer will blow your mind. Or make you fantasize crazy about Cameron Diaz. Either/or.
Some teachers just don't give an F. For example, there's Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She's foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can't wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) – competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.
Starring Jason Segel, Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch, Eric Stonestreet, Alanna Ubach, Thomas Lennon, Molly Shannon, John Michael Higgins, Noah Munck, Phyllis Smith and directed by Jake Kasdan.

Would it be possible to mount the radar detector like normal, and then cut the plug off of the end of its wire (where you normally plug it into the cig lighter), then connect the end of the now exposed wires to the fusebox? Like remove the radio fuse, put the wire in, then put the fuse back in so they both make contact? Would it work? Can the same be done if I wanted to put a small neon tube under the seats? Thanks

The Three Faces of Eve (1957)
As Eve, a young woman whose life unravels following her diagnosis with multiple personality disorder, Joanne Woodward is spectacular.
The Three Faces of EveDirector: Nunnally Johnson
Cast: Joanne Woodward, David Wayne, Lee J. Cobb
MPAA rating: Not rated
Studio: 20th Century Fox
First date: 1957
US DVD Release Date: 2004-10-05
Although The Three Faces of Eve was released in 1957, it might have been made during the 1940s. Unfolding with the stolid inevitability of a classic Hollywood melodrama, it's saved from the ashcan of movie history by Joanne Woodward. As Eve, a young woman whose life unravels following her diagnosis with multiple personality disorder, Woodward is spectacular.
One of the most gratifying social triumphs of the 20th century was the recognition of mental illness. That isn't to say that tolerance for those so afflicted is anywhere near complete today, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't know someone who's taken an anti-depressant like Prozac or Paxil. There's still a stigma attached, but more people now understand that depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are diseases that can be treated (if not cured). Movies like The Three Faces of Eve contributed, in a significant way, to the gradual infiltration of such open-mindedness throughout society.
Eve suffers from a severe dissociative disorder caused by horrible childhood trauma. As the film illustrates, inescapable trauma can cause the brain to partition experiences, in order to escape pain, however temporarily. These partitions can account for unpredictably violent behavior, memory loss, decreased faculties, and in extreme cases, the creation of multiple alternative personalities. Most cases of MPD stem from childhood abuse, sexual and physical.
Eve's disease appears to be clinically accurate, the filmmakers going so far as to cast Alistair Cooke as the narrator. Such journalistic ambition and sobriety seem odd now, considering the sensationalism of most current semi-fictional entertainment. But it would be a mistake to interpret Eve's seriousness as naïvete: the film includes several compromises made in the interest of a more easily digestible storyline.
Primary among those changes is the manner in which Eve switches between personalities. In reality, MPDs can switch between disparate personalities in the blink of an eye, with no warning. Woodward studied the case files of Eve White before filming began, and came to the set prepared to deliver as rigorously factual a portrayal of the disease as possible. But the studio intervened, claiming the audience would be confused unless they had a way of knowing when Eve switched between personalities. So, despite Woodward's protest, Eve puts her head down and seems to pass into a kind of trance in the moments when her mind passes from one personality to another.
Still, despite these factual glosses, Woodward's performance is a triumph of naturalistic acting in the midst of seemingly incongruous melodrama. Eve White is an unhappy young housewife whose bifurcated personality leads her to Dr. Luther (Lee J. Cobb). The emergence of the reckless and hedonistic Eve Black personality wreaks havoc on Eve's life, destroying her marriage to the uncaring Ralph (David Wayne) and eventually driving her to near suicide. Eventually, a third personality emerges: Jane, a levelheaded, humble counterpoint to the meek Eve White and the headstrong, self-destructive Eve Black. Woodward plays these three disparate personalities as three distinctive roles, with individuated body language and startlingly dissimilar elocution.
While the division of personality caused by primal trauma can be healed through the process of confronting and exhuming the painful past, the film presents Eve's successful treatment in an unrealistically pat conclusion. And, based on a more modern understanding of the psychological mechanism at work in MPD, I suspect the trauma at the root of the real Eve White's illness was more severe than the one presented here. But regardless of these inaccuracies, the movie remains a valuable historical document, a record of a culture's gradual enlightenment, as well as a notable highlight in the annals of film acting.

Well billfer, we've got something in common…Sweet Lou is my All-Time Tiger as well. 🙂
A bunch of stuff that I should highlight or comment on that I just haven't gotten around to doing so I'll let others do it for me:
Congratulations, Dontrelle. You pitched well enough in the first four years of your career to get a $29 million contract. You benefited from a career-worst decision by a general manager and owner who felt they needed to push their team through an open championship window before it closed. You got to cash in on a 22-win season that took place four years ago. Kudos to you, sir. But this has been a massive failure. Seriously, man – you and the Tigers should be done professionally.
Well billfer, we've got something in common…Sweet Lou is my All-Time Tiger as well. 🙂
In response to Ian and Hurt's blogs, I hate it when fans like them are overly critical of the Tigers. Some people just can't see the big picture. Fact is, we have one of the best pitching staffs in the American League right now. Other teams could only wish they had our problems.
Dropping any of the contracts on this roster would be asinine. IMO, every single team in baseball would be willing to put Willis on their roster to see what he can do. It would be the dumbest move of all time to drop him.
I watched the game yesterday and was mostly annoyed that every pitch Willis threw some jackass fan was yelling at him. I couldn't tone it out, so I'm not sure that Willis could either. It's BULL CRAP that we have idiot fans like that at home games. He was even yelling at Minor when he took over. Fortunately somebody shut that guy up and we didn't give up a run for the rest of the game.
We only have Lyon on a 1 year deal. He's here because he has a track record for throwing strikes. Problem is his control is way off and he's been walking hitters far more than normal. If Rick Knapp is as a good as people say he is, then Lyon should be an easy fix. There really isn't much to Lyon's mechanics.
If our pitching isn't good enough for anyone, then blame the pitching coach like everyone did last year with Chuck Hernandez.
The easiest thing to do when Willis loses it is to get him out of the game ASAP. Yesterday, Leyland yanked him with a 3-2 lead, but Minor was terrible and blew the game.
Willis can throw brilliantly when he's on his game. He looked fantastic for the 1st 2 innings. A few games before he threw that 1 hitter. There is a solution for utilizing Willis at his best, Leyland just has to find it. Like some people mentioned, we should of used Zumaya instead of Minor to get out of that jam.
OK, it's Miner, not Minor. And he's to blame for the 5 runs Willis gave up without a hit or error that inning?
The runs are charged to Willis. No one is exonerating Willis. But Miner is just as much at fault. His job is to strand those runners. Period.
If a run scores on a fielder's choice, that's one thing. But every single runner Willis put on base (and then some) Miner let score. UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD.
Miner blew it? He wasn't terrific, but Willis dug himself quite a hole.
The solution for "utilizing Willis at his best" is to make him a long reliever. He has an over 8ERA and a 56ERA+ with us.
We do have a good pitching staff, but it has several duds. Do you credit Knapp for giving Verlander or Jackson the ability to reach 100? Or being able to have terrific offspeed stuff?
Verlander has been dominant before(2006 and 2007 remember the no hitter?) and Jackson has had top of the line stuff since he was scouted. I guess you could say he preached throwing strikes, but still a lot of the credit has to go to their talent level and maturation. With some credit going to Knapp – but some being taken away for guys like Lyon or Robertson or Willis or MinEr. You can't have it both ways. He either gets credit and blame or he gets nothing.
If Bondo comes back strong and Willis is booted from the rotation it is that much better.
While I'm inclined to give Dontrelle another start (and hope that yesterday was just a case of a shaky pitcher getting intimidated by a tough team), I'm beginning to seriously think it's time for him to start The Rick Ankiel Reincarnation Process. The guy had .856 OPS in his last year in Florida in 80 ABs. That's a start.
Tigers are paying him either way – try and get some value out of those dollars, rather than giving up.
Dontrelle isn't nearly as athletic as Ankiel and is missing the arm that Ankiel has as well. So basically you've got a defensive liability (without checking the numbers, I believe Ankiel is a liability as well, but he gets some of that back with his arm, albeit not much) who's left handed and basically is only a pinch-hitter. I say bite the bullet.
Found this link on FanHouse today, and thought it might be of interest to other Tiger fans:
Psh. Figures everyone would talk about Ian's inflammatory comments and not my brilliance in breaking down Edwin Jackson from 2008 to 2009!
(joking, of course!)
Minor did blow that game. He doesn't deserve to get his name spelled right after that.
No, it was spelled right. As in, minor league.

Interest rates on short-term Treasury securities dropped in Monday's auction, with rates on six-month bills falling to a record low.
The Treasury Department auctioned $27 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.020 percent, down from 0.030 percent last week. Another $24 billion was auctioned in six-month bills at a discount rate of 0.060 percent, down from 0.065 percent last week.
The three-month rate was lowest since those bills averaged 0.005 percent in December 2008. The six-month rate is the lowest on records. The low rates show that investors still see U.S. Treasury debt as safe, even as the White House and Congress are locked in negotiations over raising the borrowing limit. If the talks fail and the $14.3 trillion limit isn't raised by Aug. 2, the Treasury says the government will default on its obligations.
The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value. For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,999.49 while a six-month bill sold for $9,996.97. That would equal an annualized rate of 0.020 percent for the three-month bills and 0.061 percent for the six-month bills.
Separately, the Federal Reserve said Monday that the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, a popular index for making changes in adjustable-rate mortgages, was 0.16 percent last week, down from 0.19 percent the previous week.

Kesha Shows Her Curves in Vibe Outtake Photos
Kesha is known for her hits, her partying and her use of Auto-Tune (something she's toned down lately), but now she's being recognized for her hottness, too. The 'Die Young' singer made quite a few jaws drop with her Vibe cover shoot, and her outtakes are even more stunning.

Style gives their take on the new Formichetti collection for Mugler. "Their clothes mostly read as new—not old—Mugler. They borrowed certain signatures from the house's expansive vocabulary: the strong shoulders on the jackets, the shorn lapels, something of the originator's talent as a colorist. But they were quieter than Mugler's own brand of bombast, and less witty; they brought out the sinister side of suiting, the darker connotations of uniform. Formichetti's fabrics, especially the man-made neoprene, plastic, nylon, and latex, were sensuously textured but chilly—every other piece shone, but it was light without heat."
More looks after the click.

Bacillus Coagulans
What other names is Bacillus Coagulans known by?
B. Coagulans, Bacillus Bacteria, Bacillus Probiotics, Bactéries Bacilles, Bactéries à Gram Positif Sporogènes, Bactérie Gram Positive en Forme de Bâtonnet, Gram Positive Spore-Forming Rod, L. Sporogenes, Lactobacillus Sporogenes, Lactobacillus Sporogènes, Probiotic, Probiotique, Spore-Forming Lactobacillus.
What is Bacillus Coagulans?Bacillus coagulans is a type of bacteria. It is used similarly to lactobacillus and other probiotics as "beneficial" bacteria.
People take Bacillus coagulans for diarrhea, including infectious types such as rotaviral diarrhea in children; traveler's diarrhea; and diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Bacillus coagulans is also used for general digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), a bowel disorder called Clostridium difficile colitis, excessive growth of "bad" bacteria in the intestine, and infection due to the ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
Some people use Bacillus coagulans to prevent respiratory infections and ramp up the immune system. It is also used to prevent cancer or the formation of cancer-causing agents. There is also some interest in using it as an additive to vaccines to improve their effectiveness.
Bacillus coagulans produces lactic acid and, as a result, is often misclassified as lactic acid bacteria such as lactobacillus. In fact, some commercial products containing Bacillus coagulans are marketed as Lactobacillus sporogenes or "spore-forming lactic acid bacterium." Unlike lactic acid bacteria such as lactobacillus or bifidobacteria, Bacillus coagulans forms reproductive structures called spores. Spores are actually an important factor in telling Bacillus coagulans apart from lactic acid bacteria.

New Delhi, Dec 6 (IANS) Ajinkya Rahane achieved the landmark distinction of two centuries in the same match as India declared their second innings at 267/5 before lunch on Day Four of the fourth and final cricket Test against South Africa at the Ferozeshah Kotla here on Sunday. South Africa made 5/1 in their second stint.
Rahane remained unbeaten on 100 with eight boundaries and three sixes. The Mumbai lad, who had scored 127 in the first innings, thus notched up back to back centuries in same Test for the fifth ton of his career.
Rahane is the fifth Indian batsman to achieve the feat. The others who earned the distinction earlier were Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar (thrice each), Rahul Dravid (twice) and the current skipper Virat Kohli (once).
Wriddhiman Saha was unbeaten on 23 at the other end.
India built up a lead of 480 runs when the declaration came. The Proteas trailed by 475 runs at lunch with opener Temba Bavuma and Hashim Amla at the crease. Opener Dean Elgar was out for four.
Pacer Morne Morkel was the standout performer among the Proteas bowlers with figures of 3/51. Fellow pacer Kyle Abbott (1/47) and leg-spinner Imran Tahir (1/74) also got a wicket each.
Starting at the overnight score of 190/4, India lost captain Virat Kohli in the fifth over of the day.
Kohli scored 88 runs before being trapped leg before by pacer Kyle Abbott. The Delhi lad hit 10 boundaries during his 165-ball knock.
Abbott got Kohli with one that kept low after pitching outside off stump. Kohli's dismissal brought to an end his 154-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Rahane.
The partisan home crowd at the Kotla, who were left stunned at Kohli's dismissal, soon found their voice again as Rahane scored at a brisk clip and gradually approached his century.
The 27-year-old started to unleash the big shots as he approached his century, hitting Tahir for a six over midwicket before stepping out to smash Elgar into the stands in the next over. He had earlier lifted a Morkel delivery for a six over third man.
He completed his century with a single off Tahir as the crowd leapt to their feet in applause.

The celebration of President's Day this February may have more significance due to the inauguration of President Barack Obama as 44th President of the United States, adding him to the esteemed list of presidents occupying the Oval Office.
Dr. John Lanzalotti, a plastic surgeon and sculptor /owner of Williamsburg Sculpture, located in Williamsburg, Va., sculpts lifelike busts of the nation's founding fathers, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and Robert E. Lee, among others. His creativity is not limited to those chosen few, however, as he also sculpts Civil War figures and notables such as Patrick Henry, Meriwether Lewis, Marquis de Lafayette, as well as more recent public figures. Dr. Lanzalotti patterns his work after the style of Jean-Antoine Houdon, an 18th century French portrait sculptor who sculpted many well-known busts of early Americans. Like Houdon, Dr. Lanzalotti's work is displayed in notable places. Featured in Virginia's Capitol Building in Richmond is his life-size marble bust of Meriwether Lewis. Williamsburg sports the busts of William and Mary.
With the help of Direct Dimensions and rapid prototyping companies, Dr. Lanzalotti has been able to create precise replicas of his sculptures in different scales. Rapid prototyping 3D printing is used to create copies of smaller-scale 3D models. Patterns of cold-cast marble reproductions can be made of these smaller replicas, which are popular as collectibles in gift shops. Larger-scale busts can also be made from the 3D digital models in milled marble, cast bronze, and etched crystal.
Using his surgical skills, Dr. Lanzolotti adds detail to the famous faces on the computer.
"My art is a direct reflection of my medical training," sasys Dr. Lanzalotti. "Sculpting is like plastic surgery and computer sculpting is like digital surgery." Digital reproduction offers an accuracy that reduces the time an artist needs to spend hand-finishing.
According to Michael Raphael of Direct Dimensions, the busts were primarily laser scanned with an 8-ft., 7-axis Platinum FaroArm with either a Faro, Kreon, or Perceptron laser line scanner. PolyWorks, Rapidform, and Geomagic software are used to convert the digital scan "point cloud" data into clean, watertight STL files.
The 3D models are then scaled up or down for rapid prototyping. To make them smaller, ZCorp 3D printers are used primarily, and the larger ones are made using stereolithography, both of which are used as casting patterns for bonded marble or bronze casting.

Workforce management: RedPrairie unveils employ self-service solution
RedPrairie , a specialist in optimizing warehouse and product distribution operations, has created a new employee self-service application to
As part of the RedPrairie Workforce Management solution, the enhanced employee self-service capability provides employees with the ability to confirm their work schedules, check hours worked, submit time-off requests, and receive other job-related information with a secure, easy-to-use Web portal interface. With this solution, employees also can access work schedules through a WAP-enabled (Wireless Application Protocol) device, such as a mobile phone or PDA.
According to Jon Lawrence, a RedPrairie companyciency and effectiveness of communication between managers and employees. No longer will managers have to answer potentially disruptive phone calls to confirm an employee's work schedule or worked hours. Instead, they stay focused on the customer and the employees become more self-sufficient."
The efficiencies extend beyond manager/employee communications. When a manager approves a request for time off, the employee is notified and the integrated workforce management application does not schedule the employee for that time. Moreover, a growing percentage of the available labor pool is using WAP-enabled devices as a popular method of communication. By enabling employees to access schedule information via a mobile phone, RedPrairie helps to redefine "self-service" in the industry.
"To optimize store performance, you need to optimize the activities of the local manager," says Lawrence. "This enhanced capability is one more way that we streamline efficiency and enable managers to be in the right place at the right time, helping both their customers and their company's bottom line."
The enhanced employee self-service capabilities are available in the current release of RedPrairie Workforce Management.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Battle of Buena Vista, also called Battle of Angostura, (Feb. 22–23, 1847), battle fought near Monterrey, Mex., in the Mexican-American War (1846–48), the war between the United States and Mexico. A U.S. army of about 5,000 men under General Zachary Taylor had invaded northeastern Mexico, taking Monterrey and Saltillo. General Antonio López de Santa Anna meanwhile had gathered a force of about 14,000 troops and was marching north from San Luis Potosí to engage the invaders. Although the numbers were impressive, they were badly armed and poorly trained. When reports of the Mexican threat reached Taylor, he moved his forces on February 21 to La Angostura, near the hacienda of Buena Vista, where there is a pass between two high ranges of mountains. Taylor's communications line was cut by Mexican cavalry the next day, and the main Mexican attack began on February 23, pressing the Americans' exposed left flank facing the eastern side of the pass, which Taylor had failed to fortify. Despite the retreat of some volunteer infantry regiments, the heavy U.S. artillery fire turned back the Mexicans, and, by nightfall, they had suffered casualties of about 1,500 to Taylor's 700 (though scholarly estimates of these casualties vary widely). Leaving their campfires burning as a ruse, the Mexican army retreated during the night. Taylor did not pursue Santa Anna. It was not necessary since large numbers of sick, wounded, and dispirited soldiers deserted during the retreat. In April at the Battle of Cerro Gordo, Santa Anna failed to halt the invasion of another U.S. army under General Winfield Scott, who captured Mexico City in September, thus assuring a U.S. victory in the war. Taylor's victory enhanced his national reputation and helped him win the U.S. presidency in 1848.

Mobile Learning and Policies: Key Issues to Consider
Today there are over 5.9 billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide, and for every one person who accesses the internet from a computer, two do so from a mobile device. Sound educational policies can help ensure these omnipresent technologies improve and facilitate learning, particularly in communities where educational opportunities are scarce.
A recent paper published by UNESCO entitled "Mobile Learning and Policies: Key Issues to Consider" seeks to help education leaders shape policy environments that are conducive to mobile learning. It examines strategies that can provide learners with cost-effective access to mobile technology as well as ways to ensure that this technology is used productively both inside and outside the classroom. Dedicated chapters illustrate how policy decisions can foster the development of mobile content that is relevant to local populations, facilitate the growth of mobile infrastructures, and ensure that new technology investments complement existing educational investments. The paper openly addresses the challenges specific to mobile learning and provides straightforward advice on how to navigate issues related to safety, cost and the sustainability of programmes.
The newly published paper is an important contribution to the larger UNESCO Working Paper Series on Mobile Learning, which seek to ensure that mobile technologies are put to good use for making learning more accessible, equitable and flexible for students everywhere.

Championship: David Flitcroft backing Micky Mellon for Barnsley job
David Flitcroft is "praying" that former assistant Micky Mellon will be named his successor as Barnsley manager.
Last Updated: 13/12/13 5:17pm
The Tykes sacked Flitcroft, who defied the odds to keep them in the Championship last year, at the end of November after a poor run of results left them mired in the bottom three once again.
Mellon, himself a former manager at Fleetwood, has been handed the reins on a part-time basis since and the club appear willing to give him a chance to stake his claim to earn the position permanently.
Flitcroft has since moved on from Oakwell and was this week appointed as the new boss at his former club Bury.
Speaking at his introductory press conference for that job, Flitcroft confirmed he did not expect to be linked up with Mellon again at the JD Stadium.
"Micky, I'm praying he'll get that Barnsley job," he said.
"He's the right man to lead that group, he's the right man to lead their charge.
"He's an incredible human being and I think he will get that job. If he does get that job I lose the opportunity to recruit Micky."
Flitcroft does not harbour any lingering resentment towards the Tykes for their decision to axe him either, admitting it took him just two days to begin plotting his return to the game.
He added: "You have to get over it. I've got a great family that helped me with that.
"It was 48 hours and then start looking for what else is out there and start building a profile.
"I'm not daft, I knew my next programme was probably League Two or League One. I had an offer of coaching at a few clubs but this is an opportunity for me to prove I'm a good manager.
"I've got this opportunity now which I'll grasp and take and I'm going to give it everything."

Baroness Blackstone: I begin with Amendments Nos. 210A, 214A and 215A. These amendments would place express duties on the face of the Bill requiring local authorities to keep a record of each parental preference which is refused under paragraph (a) of Clause 81(3)--the "prejudice ground"--and on authorities and governing bodies to publish the number of such refusals in a year. Paragraph (a) is capable of covering a range of types of "prejudice" that can occur, but these will not normally arise unless the number of places in the particular school is oversubscribed.
Of course a parent must be given a right of appeal in such a case, but sufficient records will already exist for that purpose.
As to publication, we agree that knowing various levels of oversubscription at a school may be of considerable value to parents in judging the realistic options they have when applying for a school place. Indeed, departmental advice in the past has suggested that schools and LEAs might publish such information.
However, this is a matter which the Government do not think belongs on the face of the Bill. It would be unwieldy to include precise details to be published--important though they may be--in primary legislation. Instead, Clause 87 already enables details of this kind to be set out in regulations.
To require all LEAs and governing bodies to record and publish these details seems a trifle overbureaucratic. Published details are already quite lengthy and we do not believe that this is something that should be made compulsory.
I would, however, be very happy to give a commitment to the noble Baroness, Lady Byford, that we shall carefully consider what the code might say about voluntarily publishing additional details such as the levels of oversubscription and about the ways parents may best assess the realistic options that they have.
Perhaps I could say to the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, on the code of practice that, yes, of course, it will address the issue of parental preferences. I confirm what my honourable friend the Minister for School Standards has already said: we intend, with the class size pledge, not just to sustain current levels of parental preference but to enhance them. That is something that the Government made clear when we were discussing the class size clauses in the Bill.
I turn to Amendments Nos. 203 and 205 and say to the noble Baroness, Lady Maddock, that I am sympathetic to the intention behind these amendments. I now understand that their aim is to ensure that children with disabilities and special educational needs are not discriminated against, by establishing a mechanism which would enable LEAs to monitor admission arrangements and identify whether schools are taking their responsibilities towards children with special educational needs--including those with disabilities--seriously. That is extremely important.
Perhaps at this point I could also say to the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, that she is absolutely right: if a child has a statement, the school must give the support that goes with that statement; so if a child with special educational needs is additional to the class size ceiling of 30, he or she would need to have the additional resources.
Baroness Blatch: That facility was already in place under the previous government: where a child is formally statemented, the provisions follow the child. I am talking about a child with special needs who falls short of being formally statemented. But if that child is guaranteed a place in a school where the class size pledge can be busted, then it is important to recognise
Baroness Blackstone: I was just about to come to that point. Of course the noble Baroness is right. I could not agree with her more. If a child with special educational needs has been taken into an infant class, which means that the number goes over 30, for the period of time that that class is over 30 and the child is in the class, the additional resources must be provided.
I shall return to the amendments tabled by the noble Baroness. The new admissions framework is designed to allow consultation by all admission authorities in an area through a forum on one another's admission arrangements for the forthcoming admissions round. That is to allow for constructive debate, I hope, leading to local agreement on those arrangements, with the right of referral to the adjudicator where that cannot be reached. LEAs and governing bodies will be required to publish information about the current admission arrangements for all schools to help inform parents considering which schools to apply for.
We have previously stated our commitment to ensure that school admission arrangements do not allow children with special educational needs, including those with a disability, to be discriminated against. Monitoring arrangements will be important to ensure that, in practice, children with special educational needs, but without statements, are treated no less favourably than their peers. It is right that such mechanisms should be put in place, but we must ensure that we put in place considered arrangements which will provide us with the right information.
I assure the Committee that we are considering the issue in the light of the responses to the SEN Green Paper. Although it is premature to include specific legislation at this stage, I can give an undertaking that in working up our proposals for taking forward our policies on inclusion we shall take careful account of the issue raised by the amendment. In view of that, I hope that the noble Baroness will feel able to withdraw her amendment.
Baroness Byford: I thank the Minister for that reply. I am encouraged by her response that she might be looking for voluntary inclusion for schools or the LEA to indicate first preference, but she referred also to it becoming cumbersome and over bureaucratic. I assume--perhaps the Minister will correct me--that that information is already to hand and that the LEAs and the schools will know at this stage how many people have applied for that school as first preference. Perhaps she can answer that point.
Secondly, is it the Minister's intention to put these requirements into regulations or guidelines if they are not to be in the Bill? Perhaps the Minister would like to respond.
Baroness Blackstone: I do not believe that the LEA will have all that information. It will have to ask the schools to record carefully every application made to them, including applications that may eventually come
When I was speaking earlier, I said that I was happy to give a commitment to the noble Baroness that we will consider carefully what the code might say about voluntarily publishing additional details, such as levels of over-subscription, and how parents might best assess their realistic options. I hope that that answer helps.
Perhaps I may tell the noble Baroness, Lady Blatch, that I am now informed that unless a child has a statement that child will not be admitted as the 31st, 32nd, 33rd or 34th child. It is only in those cases where a child has a statement that the class size ceiling of 30 will be lifted. In other cases that would not happen. I think that what I said earlier may have been slightly misleading.
Baroness Maddock: I thank the noble Baroness for her reply. I think that time will tell and we will have to see what comes forward later on. However, I do not intend to press the amendments.
Baroness Blatch: Before the noble Baroness sits down, can I press her a little further? Is she saying that a child with special needs who falls short of being formally statemented and who would be the 31st child in a school which cannot be physically expanded because there is no room, would be sent off to another school even though the school, the governors, the head teacher and the parents in that local community are entirely happy for the child to be taken into that school as the 31st child?
Baroness Blackstone: We are going over ground that we have already covered at great length in the debates that took place on the class-size clauses of the Bill. I do not think it is terribly helpful to have them again on a completely different part of the Bill. We will be able to come back to all these matters on Report. The Government's class size pledge is one that they regard as extremely important. If this was a village school where the child would be required to travel some distance, I made clear when we were discussing the class-size parts of the Bill that the child would be taken in. However, if it is an urban school then we are sticking to our pledge that we do not think that the standards of our infant schools can be raised with the very large class sizes we have had in recent years.
Baroness Blatch: I personally take offence at the remark just made by the noble Baroness. This is an admissions issue and we are talking about admissions policies. The very fact that the class size pledge is a separate issue in the Bill is one thing, but it impacts very much on whether the admissions code of practice is to take into and subsume the pledge covered in

1.0b1-6 had three locations within /debian dir that played around with the file tsmarty2c.php (name that upstream gave the file): debian/install, debian/links and debian/rules. The job done in debian/links and the command in debian/rules obviously interfered with each other.

So for 1.0b1-7 I had two goals: get rid of the duplication and provide a man page. As files in /usr/bin are not supposed to have file extension (§ 10.4), I decided for copying tsmarty2c.php first (dh_install) and then rename it in situ (debian/rules:override_dh_install).
There doesn't appear to be any documentation or rationale beyond the above; furthermore, the change appears to be broken: --- smarty-gettext-1.0b1/debian/install 2012-05-10 18:59:25.000000000 +0000 +++ smarty-gettext-1.0b1/debian/install 2012-07-08 13:07:48.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ block.t.php usr/share/php/smarty3/plugins/ -tsmarty2c.php usr/bin/ +tsmarty2c.php usr/bin/ No newline at end of file
