Conduent Inc (CNDT) are in focus today as the charts are revealing that the Mesa Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) has trickled below the FAMA, or Fractional Moving Average. This environment typically indicates that there might be a buying opportunity aligning in technicals. When there are crossovers between the FAMA and MAMA, the shares are often widely traded. When the MAMA crosses above the FAMA, it means that the shares are likely to move higher. Conversely the opposite occurs when the MAMA crosses below the FAMA. The Mesa Moving Average was first mentioned by John Ehlers in a paper published in a 2001 edition of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities Magazine. The below was excerpted from the publication,
"The MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) adapts to price movement based on the rate of change of phase as measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator (Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine, December 2000). This method features a fast attack average and a slow decay average so that composite average rapidly ratchets behind price changes and holds the average value until the next ratchet occurs."
Interested traders may also be keeping an eye on the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Williams %R is a popular technical indicator created by Larry Williams to help identify overbought and oversold situations. Investors will commonly use Williams %R in conjunction with other trend indicators to help spot possible stock turning points. Conduent Inc (CNDT)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -58.20. In general, if the indicator goes above -20, the stock may be considered overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes below -80, this may point to the stock being oversold.
Another technical indicator that might serve as a powerful resource for measuring trend strength is the Average Directional Index or ADX. The ADX was introduced by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's and it has stood the test of time. The ADX is typically used in conjunction with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to help spot trend direction as well as trend strength. At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Conduent Inc (CNDT) is noted at 23.78. Many technical analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal.
Investors may use various technical indicators to help spot trends and buy/sell signals. Presently, Conduent Inc (CNDT) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -77.03. The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert. The assumption behind the indicator is that investment instruments move in cycles with highs and lows coming at certain periodic intervals. The original guidelines focused on creating buy/sell signals when the reading moved above +100 or below -100. Traders may also use the reading to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
Taking a look at other technical levels, the 3-day RSI stands at 55.26, the 7-day sits at 41.94 and the 14-day (most common) is at 46.86. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an often employed momentum oscillator that is used to measure the speed and change of stock price movements. When charted, the RSI can serve as a visual means to monitor historical and current strength or weakness in a certain market. This measurement is based on closing prices over a specific period of time. As a momentum oscillator, the RSI operates in a set range. This range falls on a scale between 0 and 100. If the RSI is closer to 100, this may indicate a period of stronger momentum. On the flip side, an RSI near 0 may signal weaker momentum. The RSI was originally created by J. Welles Wilder which was introduced in his 1978 book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".
Keeping an eye on Moving Averages, the 50-day is 16.06, the 200-day is at 16.17, and the 7-day is 16.27 for Conduent Inc (CNDT). Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Following multiple time frames using moving averages can help investors figure out where the stock has been and help determine where it may be possibly going. The simple moving average is a mathematical calculation that takes the average price (mean) for a given amount of time.

White House sends Congress draft Syria resolution
Aug. 31, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has sent Congress a draft of a resolution authorizing President Barack Obama to use military force against Syria.
The draft follows through on Obama's decision, announced Saturday, to seek congressional approval for a strike against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.
The resolution lays out the administration's claim that Assad's regime killed more than 1,000 last week in a chemical weapons attack. It says the objective of a U.S. military response would be to "deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade" the regime's ability to use chemical weapons going forward.
The resolution authorizes Obama to use the military as he determines "necessary and appropriate" to serve that goal.
The draft doesn't lay out a timeline for action. But it does say only a political settlement can resolve the Syrian crisis.

NORMAL, Ill. -- The men's cross country team traveled to Illinois State University Friday and placed 17th of 29 teams in the college division of the Illinois Intercollegiate Championships.
Headlining Greenville's efforts was the 98th place mark of Nathan Young who ran 26:59 to cross the line first of Greenville's runners for the third straight race. Also contributing scoring marks were Josh Dees (124th, 27:27), Bryant Simpson (144th, 27:48), Ross Baker (155th, 28:08), and Raymond Hingson (157th, 28:13).
Two hundred seventy runners completed the race.
"This was the best race of the season," said head coach Brian Patton. "We still have a ways to go but it was a solid effort amongst quality competition."
Patton was particularly pleased with Hingson's mark in his first eight kilometer race.
The men return to action at Rhodes College on Saturday, Sept. 29.

PD Life relies on notifications on your device in order to remind you when you should take meds, or perform other important tasks. With recent updates in iOS5, notifications have become a little more passive, since people were complaining about being annoyed by apps bugging them.
"I sometimes miss med reminders because they disappear"
This is great for users who find the notifications annoying, but not so great for those of us who miss the odd reminder, or have lots of noisy apps amongst which the PD Life notifications can get lost. Banner notifications (the new default setting on your iPhone/iPad) will automatically dismiss themselves making it easy to miss them.
Thankfully there is a solution, and it involves changing the notification settings for PD Life to show an alert popup, instead of banner when it's time to take your meds.
To do this, simply:
- Tap Settings on your home screen
- Select the Notifications section
- Scroll down until you see PD Life, and tap it
- At the top, ensure Notification Centre is ON
- In the Alert Style section, select Alerts (CAUTION: Do not select None, as this will turn off ALL PD Life reminders)
- Scroll down and ensure the Bridge App Icon, Sounds and View in Lock Screen settings are all ON
After a while, notifications from PD Life will appear as alert boxes that need to be dismissed before you can continue to use your phone.
Thanks to Pamela G. for her feedback.

Animal Species:White Shark, Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus, 1758)
The White Shark is one of the most famous (and feared) species of shark. It is one of the few shark species that is dangerous to humans.
Standard Common Name
White Shark
Alternative Name/s
Great White Shark, White Death, White Pointer
The White Shark has a torpedo-shaped body, a pointed snout and large pectoral and first dorsal fins. It has a lunate tail, black eyes and large serrated teeth. It is grey or bronze above and white below.
Size range
White Sharks can grow to at least 6 m in length and weigh 3000 kg.
White Sharks are found worldwide in temperate, coastal waters. In Australia they have been recorded from southern Queensland to north-western Western Australia.
View information on the occurrence of White Sharks in Sydney Harbour.
The map below shows the Australian distribution of the species based on public sightings and specimens in Australian Museums. Click on the map for detailed information. Source: Atlas of Living Australia.
Distribution by collection data
Ozcam map of White Shark specimens in the Australian Museums.
Worldwide in temperate, coastal waters.
Habitat type
Marine Habitat: continental shelf
Feeding and Diet
Juvenile White Sharks normally eat squid and fishes such as stingrays and other sharks. As the fish matures, its diet changes. Adults eat seals, sea lions, dolphins and dead whales, although some will continue to eat fishes such as snapper. White Sharks have also been known to eat elephant seals, sea otters, turtles and sea birds.

Life cycle
Females mature at 4.5 m to 5 m in length. It was previously believed that a White Shark of 5 m to 6 m in length would be 15 to 25 years old. In their 2014 paper Hamady and colleagues, however, state that the largest female white shark analysed (5.26 m fork length) was up to 40 years old. The largest male, however, (fork length 4.93 m) was estimated to be 73 years old. They state that there may be sexual dimorphism in growth rates and raise concerns about the sensitivity of white shark populations to human induded mortality.
Conservation Status (IUCN):
Conservation Status (Federal): Vulnerable
Economic/social impacts
Despite Australia's reputation as "the place to go to see White Sharks", they are uncommon. There are no reliable estimates of the number of White Sharks in Australian waters however, evidence suggests that their numbers are decreasing.
This species is now protected in all Australian states and territorial waters. The White Shark is also protected in many places around the world. South Africa was the first to protect this species in 1992, followed by Namibia, the Maldives, Florida and California and Australia. New Zealand gave the White Shark protected species status In 2007.
The White Shark is a powerful predator, which provokes fear in many people. However, this may not be entirely warranted. Scientists are only recently building up knowledge on the biology, movements and vulnerability of this species. A new research project funded by the Natural Heritage Trust, and under the leadership of J. Stevens and B. Bruce, of CSIRO Fisheries, is one such study.

1. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapSanne Grinovero Feb 24, 2012 9:55 AM (in response to nit wit)
yes those "infrastructure" objects take quite some space, but to really double the amount of memory used you must be using many and very small values, is that the case?
There is an upcoming patch for version 5.2 which will make it possible to replace the actual map implementation used internally: Java 8 will have a new concurrent map which has no internal segments at all, and the implementation is already available so it can be backported in a separate jar for us to use.
Are you measuring a well warmed up JVM ? Those objects are mostly a cost only before JIT decides to compile the map implementation. And of course profiling is going to lie as well one needs to look at the heap sizes with a good amount of entries in it, but not instrument those entries preventing JIT to reach the optimal code.
2. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapnit wit Feb 24, 2012 11:01 AM (in response to Sanne Grinovero)
No, our "values" in fact are quite coarse-grained. Each key in fact holds about 5MB data. We have used HeapDump only for memory analysis.
3. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapSanne Grinovero Feb 24, 2012 11:17 AM (in response to nit wit)
Very interesting. Would be nice if you could run a comparison with the new ConcurrentHashMap when we'll have the patch to replace implementations merged. I'll ping Manik, who was having an experimental branch, maybe you could try it out.
4. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapnit wit Mar 15, 2012 2:05 AM (in response to Sanne Grinovero)
Hi Sanne,
Has this issue been observed and fixed in 5.1.2.Final? If not, can you please point me to the experimental branch you're talking about above?
5. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapSanne Grinovero Mar 15, 2012 5:12 PM (in response to nit wit)
no we never observed such high memory consumption, but yes you could try the new map already as explained at http://infinispan.blogspot.com/2012/03/jdk-8-backported-concurrenthashmaps-in.html
While some of these internal objects are "bulky", taking anywhere close to 5MB per entry is far from reasonable, there must be something wrong; I'm bringing this up to team mates, but I'd appreciate some help from you. Is there any test you could share? or the dumps?
6. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapManik Surtani Mar 19, 2012 8:31 AM (in response to Sanne Grinovero)
This does sound pretty improbable. If you do have heap dumps or profiler snapshots you could share, preferably on 5.1.2, that would be much appreciated.
7. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapnit wit Mar 19, 2012 9:41 AM (in response to Manik Surtani)
Please find attached heap dump results.
15Mar_Dump_Anonymised.xlsx 275.6 KB
8. Re: Additional memory consumption | ConcurrentHashMapDan Berindei Mar 21, 2012 5:17 PM (in response to nit wit)
From the heap dump report you posted it would appear that you have about 2124 ConcurrentHashMaps, and between them those maps have 11186942 Segments. Since the number of segments is equal to the concurrencyLevel, that would imply that you have a concurrency level of ~ 5000, which is a bit excessive (it's supposed to be the number of concurrent threads writing to the map).
Almost all of the ConcurrentHashMap$HashEntry arrays and ReentrantLock$NonfairSyncs are also retained by the CHM Segments (because Segment extends ReentrantLock).
If I got it right, decreasing your concurrency level from 5000 to 500 should make your memory usage much more reasonable. If I didn't, please post your config and we'll look further.

NEW DELHI – The mother of a 23-year-old student who died after being brutally gang-raped in a moving bus in the Indian capital says all six suspects, including one believed to be a juvenile, deserve to die.
In her first published comments, the mother told The Times of India newspaper that the youngest suspect participated in the most brutal aspects of the rape.
Five men have been charged with the student's rape and murder and face a possible death penalty if convicted. The sixth suspect says he is 17 years old. If that is confirmed, he is likely to be tried in a juvenile court where the maximum sentence is three years in a reform facility.
The names of the victim of the Dec. 16 attack and her family have not been released.

Looks like the pushrods were clearanced for more oil delivery, eh ?Hate you had to do that, after working so long to finish it up. At least the firewall and long block look like they parted cleanly - no marks - Guess the pushrod ends are in the pan - had to come out anyway you look at it.Regards -
Bouncing back to this thread...don't overlook a hydraulic roller if your going in that direction. I run one with hydro roller lifters in the race car and am very pleased with it.Back to a binding issue ,get a straight line measurement of a bent rod vs. true one and subtract the difference. How much are milled from the heads, gasket thickness ,deck height ? My guess is pushrod length obviously wasn't checked in assembly. Again a real mystery to me that motor ran fine for awhile before breakage Geometry problem. No raw fuel in the headers ?What was your run time? Was the initial "tick" immediate upon oil pressure coming up? Was it primed before start up ? I continue to find it hard to believe it was broken in prior to your purchase.Goes without saying use an adjustable pushrod to obtain proper length this go around. They will vary with machining/cam/rotating assemblies which deviate from stock measurements. Sometimes per cylinder, per I/E. I'm into bigger cube small blocks but has to hold true for " the heavy engines" also.I would have bet shrapnel made it's way to the bottom of the pan and "machining" to the filter--good for you. Keep us updated on your findings.(hydro roller/roller lifters, fresh/matched valve train, low maintenance ground pounder with good vacuum and idle characteristics IMO)

Canada's dollar rose versus a majority of its most traded peers after consumer prices rose at the fastest monthly pace in more than 20 years in February, raising speculation about an interest-rate increase.
The currency fluctuated against the U.S. dollar after gaining to the strongest level in a month as consumer prices rose 1.2% last month, the biggest gain since January 1991 when the country implemented a new sales tax, Statistics Canada said. The discount Canadian oil producers face to the U.S. benchmark narrowed yesterday to the least in almost five months. The so-called loonie fell earlier as concern over the bailout for Cyprus and a political deadlock in Italy undermined demand for higher-yielding assets.
The CPI number "does give it stronger tailwind to keep the Bank of Canada on track for an eventual rate increase," said Joe Manimbo, a market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions, a unit of Western Union Co., said by phone from Washington. "The Canadian dollar has take more of its cues from the improving U.S. growth story, and that could have positive effects on Canada's economy."
The loonie was little changed at C$1.0164 per U.S. dollar in Toronto at 11:07 a.m. after touching C$1.0150, the strongest since Feb. 22. It earlier fell as much as 0.3%. One Canadian dollar buys 98.39 U.S. cents.
Canada's benchmark 10-year government bonds jumped, lowering yields by five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 1.77%. The 2.75% security maturing in June 2022 increased 43 cents to C$108.30, the highest since Jan. 1. The Bank of Canada will auction C$3.3 billion ($3.3 billion) of 10- year notes today at noon.
Crude Oil
Futures on crude oil fell 0.6% to $95.81 per barrel in New York after touching $96.45 yesterday, the highest point since Feb. 20. Prices have risen 2.8% during the past month.
The discount between the Canadian and American benchmark crude oil blends was at C$16.50 today after touching C$16.25 for a second day yesterday, the narrowest since Oct. 17. It's down from a record C$42.50 on Dec. 14. Oil is Canada's largest export and the U.S. is the nation's biggest export destination.
"The oil picture has swung substantially in the Canadian dollar's favor in the past month," Adam Button, a currency analyst at forexlive.com in Montreal, said by phone. "Oil trades have been a tailwind for the loonie."

A Doubleheader with guitarist extraordinaire
Charlie Hunter and XPN Favorite James Hunter
James Hunter
James Hunter's breakthrough was a long time coming, but no one's doubting his talent now. He began sharing his R&B talent with the world at various pubs and clubs in London, in the late '80s and early '90s. His soulful musings caught the ear of Van Morrison, and the two began a mutually beneficial musical friendship.
Hunter toured in the US with Morrison, and slowly began to build up a fan base. In 2006, his first solo release in the US, "People Gonna Talk", was hailed as a masterful mixture of R&B, early soul, and early rock. Nominated for a Grammy and solidifying his reputation, the crooner wrote and released "The Hard Way" in the following couple of years. Reactions were again solidly enthusiastic for Hunter's talent, truth, and great genre-mixing. Perhaps the Boston Globe reviewer put it best: "There's not a false moment here, and the short, pointed songs - all beautifully arranged - evoke classic '50s and '60s R&B without coming across as pale imitations."
Don't miss James Hunter this Friday at the World Cafe. He's taking some time from his busy US tour schedule to double-head with the wonderful Charlie Hunter. It's going to be one great show. As Van Morrison has said, "James Hunter is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R'n'B and Soul. Check him out."
James Hunter and his band will play a full show at World Cafe Live on Tuesday, March 1

Charlie Hunter
With a total of 17 albums to his name, Charlie Hunter reveals time and time again that his level of musicianship is unparalleled. Coming into prominence in the early 1990's, this jazz multi-instrumentalist is both incredibly swift with technique and open to the sponteneity of improvisation. Piecing together songs with his custom-made seven and eight-string guitars, bass, and drums, his songs are calculated and full of geniune expertise. His understanding of musical frameworks is impressive, but while many other jazz artists are tempted to demonstrate their versatily with ostentatious solos that veer away from the general structure of song, he prefers to stay enmeshed within the weavings of complicated arrangements. As a multi-instrumentalist he really understands how the different pieces tie together to create a sense of pure joy and soulful emotion. For these reasons combined, Hunter has collaborated with some of the top jazz musicians around, including the co-founded jazz fusion group Garage A Trois.
What is also unique about Hunter is his love for early blues and jazz, which has notably inspired his recent work. Such love and admiration for early works is no more apparent than on his album Public Domain, which as the name suggests, contains a series of jazzed up old-time songs that have outlived copyright and entered the public domain. Using just a few mics and amps, the album was recorded in just a few hours and has a very intimate, freshly cut sound that plays with elements of blues, funk, and jazz.
Charlie Hunter plays a full show this Friday night at World Cafe Live. Pick up his new CD at Amazon.com.

Duluth Mountain Bike Trail Network Expanding
DULUTH (AP) - Duluth is forging ahead with its plan to become a premier mountain biking city.
The Spirit Mountain ski area plans to add two more downhill mountain bike trails to add to the two it already has.
Cyclists of Gitchee Gumee Shores plans to build nine miles of trails in the Mission Creek area and add 3 1/2 miles to the 5 1/2 miles already in place in the Lester-Amity Park system. The club is also getting permits for a 100-mile trail across Duluth from Mission Creek to Lester Park
Starting May 23, Spirit Mountain will begin operating a lift for bikers and other users from Thursdays through Sundays, taking people and bikes from the new chalet at the base of the ski hill to the top.

The Neptune Music Prize 2011 - VOTE NOW
Go vote at http://facebook.com/drownedinsound
Who did you vote for? Who was robbed/def shoulda been on there?
Please note: Metronomy and PJ Harvey weren't eligible as they are on the actual Mercury list. And things like Horrors and These New Puritans didn't come out within the eligible July-July time period (at least I don't think Horrors was eligible).
Wild Beasts
I haven't listened to any of the others though and who knows if I ever will.
It's tough for me to choose between...
Darkstar, Mount Kimbie and Forest Swords. But today I went for Mount Kimbie, if I used facebook right and acctualy voted lol. Wish I could get into the SBTRKT album, it just doesn't do it for me like a lot of his 12"s have done.Kyle_ this'd this
yeah me too
Kimbie's the best of those that were nominated. Still can't get my head around the love for the Darkstar album. It's just so beige and limp... I'd have nominated LV and Zomby instead of any of them though.
I voted for SBTRKT,
because it's the only record off the list that I have listened to. I agree with awaythecrowroad that Zomby should have been nominated, Dedication is brilliant.
Zomby probably shoulda been on there but it came out on the 11th July, which I don't think woulda made it eligible for this year's Mercury...
as far as I was aware
it's up to the date they announce the shortlist, which would have made him eligible.
Forest Swords
I did like the Luke Abbott and Mount Kimbie albums as well. I thought the Darkstar and Friendly Fires albums were pish and I don't like Wild Beasts at all. The rest I haven't heard. I did hear a few Emmy the Great tracks and they didn't do that much for me.
who/what is Luke Abbott?
I'm lazy, and don't know how to use google.
but didn't get that much of a good review from DiS, nor much positivity from the boards (as far as I could tell) or make our albums of last year or albums of the half-year for this year... all of which were my vague criteria for being in this list.
You're right
unfortunately. Because I think this is one of the finest British albums released this year.watsona7 and shakerwors this'd this
i have a hunch
i might do quite well in our year-end poll
*zips lips*
I meant IT.
Sod it.

can you all check that this link takes you through to the poll (especially those of you, whom, for whatever reasons haven't 'liked' the DiS page) http://www.facebook.com/questions/10150296456128145
Is there no way to make the poll private?
It becomes a bit skewed when everyone can see how many votes bands have got.
sadly not
there aren't a lot of options to be honest.

A facebook poll?
Keep it.
(Wells + Moffat though, obv)
Seriously, though,
it's reducing what has previously been a nice annual DiS poll to a tacky, click-n-meh, no-need-to-engage-with-the-site jobber.
Your site though, so it's your call.spit-fire this'd this
- Sibley this'd this
conspiracy: no
use of it as a glorified phonebook thingumy and a conviction that it's creeping ubiquity and extension of fb tentacles into websites is 'bad for the internet' in the long run: yes
nah, quitcha whingin'
it's because the mechanism we were using before is pretty rubbish and clunky. And people 'get' how to use Facebook, and, like, IT JUST WORKS.
sadly, sometimes I have to operate DiS as a bizniz, in the hope that I might raise funds that might mean I can fix the joint and employ some staff and shit.
Not bitching for no reason.
Genuinely wondering if this poll is actually driving significant traffic to the site though? (If so: fair diddles.)
Or is it pinging around benignly on fb, getting clicked on by people from within fb, and then forgotten about 2 mins later?
Or are you just aiming for a brand awareness/reminder thing?
I don't know why I'm getting into this...
so far we have gained 155 new people to our page. so it isn't exactly changing the world.
however, due to changes with edgerank (which picks what gets into your 'top news' in your facebook dashboard, which about 95% of users use, instead of most recent) we need to get people to interact with our page. otherwise, they will never, ever, see DiS feeding into their Facebook and quite likely will forget about the site altogether.
the winner will be announced on the site.
there is a news story on the site.
there is this thread on the site.
it is on this site. just where you vote, is where our page is, on the most popular website in the world.
p.s. http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/05/12/the-filter-bubble/
this all sounds fair enough.
but that sounds like a lot of ifs standing in the way of fb users and your site. and once you've jumped through the fb hoops and gotten the on-fb interaction, you're left with content sitting on fb servers and not yours.
but you're the pro and i'm the prole, so i'm not wanting to turn this into a massive anti-DiS or anti-fb broadside (i use fb to promote a site i run). just genuinely inquisitive (and a little sceptical) about the shifting content to fb (even if it is the biggest site in the world).
interesting stat re: 95% of users use top news, instead of most recent', btw
i'm amazed. people i've mentioned this to think 'top news' is fairly gash because it presumes to know what's interesting and you're likely to miss something notable.
if you're interested
this is what a friend sent me last week http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/7885-edgerank-the-most-important-algorithm-you-ve-never-heard-of?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter
Surely it just gives you 'top news' automatically
and then you always click the 'most recent' button. SURELY.
most people just go through the top news, apparently.
Not listened to it then?
Of course, if you don't like it, you could just not vote for it, you fucking cretin.
I meant at it only getting 2 votes
I listened to it... it's okay and stuff, def not an album to get that defensive over mind
Mount Kimbie
narrowly edging Wild Beasts. It's fine though, they're both playing Glasgow together next sunday.
that list seems pretty thin..
i'd pick wu lyf over any of those
so what date is it exactly that you're closing down the DiS site, sean?
Don't have facebook and don't have spotify
moan moan moan
Facebook has over 750million users. Over 30million users in the UK.
And Spotify pay royalties, which is something DiS doesn't have the resources nor investment to do deals with all the labels, to do.
When you gonna leave a constructive or at least positive comment?shakerwors this'd this
RU4 real?
I don't get all the love for Luke Abbott
It's between Mount Kimbie and Moffat&Wells - who edge it - with an honorable mention to Emmy, although it's not a great list to choose from
don't be down the list
use it as an excuse to celebrate the under-celebrated.
Bryan Ferry
FTW :) currently 5 votes, matching its 5/10 review on the site. Whatever, I love the old lounge lizard
Its pretty sad how I am one of only 2 people who have voted for Friendly Fires.
They're great on record, and fantastic live. Certainly better than Mount Kimbie (on record anyway, never seen MK live)
I would have picked
Richard Youngs - Atlas of Hearts or Amplifying Host
Found - Factorycraft
James Blackshaw - All is Falling
Walls - Walls
Gnod - In Gnod we Trust
- unfamiliar this'd this
To be honest, I'm not sure the Mercury needs
an even more middle-of-the-road alternative.
if forest swords is middle of the road
then bring on the buses and knock me down...
I went for Wild Beasts
But stupidly haven't heard Forest Swords properly yet, so grabbed it off emusic. I would've liked to see like Vessels, Three Trapped Tigers, Micachu, Esben & the Witch and ASIWYFA included.
Let's face it
Friendly Fires don't stand a chance, what with being all mainstream and that
There are some great albums here
Forest Swords, Wild Beasts, Luke Abbot and Aidan Moffatt are some of my highlights of the year. I went for Wild Beasts though, as they are the only ones who are likely to catch Mount Kimbie (an album I do like but not as much as the others).
Really not a fan of Friendly Fires though...
I voted for SBTRKT, because that record's been a bit of a ray of light in an otherwise pretty dingy year. The Luke Abbott and Forest Swords records are also ones I'd give a vote. Really hope that Mount Kimbie LP doesn't win.
Still can't decide between..
Mount Kimbie and Wells/Moffat. Both are so good.
I've been away since this was announced but
wasn't Mount Kimbie on last years list?
Hey, so it was!
FIX! FIX! FIX! FIX!Sibley this'd this
Oh. Er. WHOOPS
didn't people moan it wouldn't have been eligible last year?
everyone seems to be criticizing small details of this when the whole point is to celebrate some records we mostly all agree are pretty good and worthy of more attention than they usually get...
I've had a think
and this list also needs more Adebisi Shank.

BANGOR, Maine —
Bangor police say they have charged a man with murder following the death of a woman last week.
Police said on Friday they got a call requesting an ambulance for a woman with breathing difficulties at 23 Jefferson Street.
When rescue crews arrived, the woman was found dead.
She was identifed as Sherry Clifford, 49, of Bangor.
Police said an autopsy determined she was the victim of a homicide, but investigators are not releasing how she was killed.
Police said Monday morning they arrested David Coon, 50, of Bangor, and charged him with murder.
Investigators said Clifford and Coon were living together, and it is a case of domestic violence.

(Reuters) - China Mobile Ltd, the world's biggest mobile operator by subscribers, said its unlisted parent is beefing up its internal supervision after a government audit office highlighted problems in accounting practices and internal management.
The report by China's National Audit Office comes at a time when the new Chinese leadership led by President Xi Jinping has made tackling corruption a top priority, warning that the problem is so serious it poses a threat to the party's survival.
Over the past few years, several executives and former executives of group parent China Mobile Communications Corp have been investigated by Chinese authorities for graft, according to Chinese media reports.
Earlier in May, the state-owned China Daily said Li Xinze, general manager of China Mobile in the southern province of Guangdong, became the 13th senior executive from the company to be placed under investigation.
China Mobile did not respond to emails from Reuters on these reports.
In the report by the National Audit Office issued on Friday, the government said it audited the group parent's 2011 results and identified problems that included inflated sales and unaccountable receipts.
"The accounting information basically reflected the company's accounting and operations accurately, but there are also inadequate supervision of its units and imperfections in its integrity and system," the audit office said.
For example, its Inner Mongolia and Fujian offices amassed fake and unaccountable receipts totaling around $100 million from 2009 to 2011, while some units inflated sales figures by tens of millions of dollars between 2005 and 2011.
"The board of directors and senior management of the company have attached great importance to the problems regarding the group identified in the audit, drawn up and proactively executed detailed rectification measures and plans," China Mobile Ltd said in a statement on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
"At present, except for a particular matter that has not yet been executed pending approval by regulatory authorities, the rest of the problems identified in this audit have already been rectified and the relevant responsible persons have been dealt with in a serious manner."
The carrier did not specify what the particular matter was.
China Mobile Ltd said the problems in the audit would not have any material impact on its overall operating results and financial statements.
The announcement came during the lunch break of Hong Kong markets.
China Mobile Ltd's Hong Kong shares, valued at more than $220 billion, traded flat in late trade, slightly outperforming the Hang Seng Index's 0.07 percent fall.

Grateful Dead
Blair's Golden Road Blog - Sticking Up For Road Trips
By Blair Jackson
I'm as excited as everyone else to see what the future brings with Dave's Picks. But please permit me one moment of nostalgia for the departing Road Trips series, which I thoroughly enjoyed being a small part of these past four years.
The series was controversial from the start because of the initial decision to release compilations from tours rather than complete shows. Why was this done? Well, the last few releases in the original Dick's Picks series came after a gushing flood of soundboard tapes made their way to Archive.org following the death of Dick Latvala. Many of those tapes were then downloaded many thousands of times before the Dead came to their senses and forced Archive to go stream-only for soundboard material. However, the damage was done. Sales for the last several Dick's Picks—which in my view were certainly up to the high standards established by earlier releases (35 and 36 are among my favorites) — plummeted once Archive became a free source for nearly everything in the Grateful Dead vault.
In the meantime, remnants of the Grateful Dead organization cut a deal with Rhino to have them facilitate the Dead's archival release program, and folks on both the Grateful Dead side and at Rhino looked for new ways to generate some interest in the vault material. When Road Trips was established, our thinking was that by presenting a nicely designed package containing two discs with the cream from multiple shows from a tour or series, plus a booklet with liner notes and photos, might be sufficiently compelling to attract both those who already had huge collections of soundboard material and new people who hadn't been big collectors or were relatively new to the band's music. The initial concept was to limit the package to two discs to keep the price down, then toss in a bonus disc with more material from the tour as an added incentive to buy early from Dead.net—not a new idea, as bonus discs had proven to be popular on a number of earlier releases.
The negative response by so many hardcore fans frankly caught us off guard. It was clear that a certain segment really wanted complete shows only and were not going to be satisfied by anything less. Personally, I still stand by the compilation concept. I listen to those first few Road Trips a lot more than I do individual shows from those tours. I don't even think about what is from which show—I just enjoy the high quality of the performances on each, just as I would on a live compilation by any band. The two-disc format did end up being somewhat limiting, however, so I was happy when the series eventually moved to three discs each time. That also allowed us to put out a greater variety of full shows. Needless to say, some were disappointed when the Bonus Discs disappeared; others hated them from the beginning. I liked 'em; always have.
Less surprising than the outrage in some quarters over the compilation idea was the harping about the actual choices. Some people didn't want to hear anything post-'77, much less something as late as '93. Others complained that there wasn't enough early '80s. You name it and there was a segment of folks who attacked it bitterly—'twas ever thus in the Dead world, and so it will be with Dave's Picks, no doubt. I even raised my objections to my buddy Dick Latvala a few times back in the day: "Dude, 10/14/83 is the best you could come up with from '83 for DP6?" Comes with the territory. (Remember the bumpersticker "Just Another Picky Deadhead"?)
Herewith, some favorite performances from each of the 17 Road Trips releases:
RT 1.1, Fall '79 — "Dancing in the Street" > "Franklin's." Not quite up to the 10/27/79 Cape Cod version, but still great. "Terrapin" > "Playing" also show some of the color that "new guy" Brent brought to the band.
RT 1.2, October '77 — I've always loved the Norman, Okla., "Help-Slip-Frank" and the "Sugaree" on the same disc is one of the best in a great year for that tune.
RT 1.3, Summer '71 — Two major finds made this release a winner: The long-missing Yale Bowl tape (love that "Dark Star" > "Bird Song") and more of the spectacular Hollywood Palladium show (some of which was released on DP35), including the legendary "Hard to Handle," which is on the Bonus Disc. Incredible "That's It for the Other One" from Chicago, too.
RT 1.4, From Egypt With Love — This one was put out to coincide with Rocking the Cradle: Egypt '78, and for my money it's a much stronger release musically. Taken from the GD's post-Egypt shows a Winterland, it contains the famous sequence of "Got My Mojo Working" (with Lee Oskar) into "The Other One" into what many agree is the finest "Stella Blue" the band ever played. Cool "Ollin Arageed," too.
RT 2.1, MSG September '90 — Much better than the Dick's Picks (Vol. 9) from these first shows with Bruce and Vince together, this contains some wild and inspired jamming on "Playing" and "Dark Star," and a great "Let It Grow."
RT 2.2, Carousel 2/14/68 —The only multitrack mixdown in the Road Trips series, it's one of the Dead's most-loved late '60s shows. The extra material on Disc 1 (including a fantastic "Viola Lee Blues") and on the Bonus Disc are tracks from the same era that had been recently discovered in a defunct SF recording studio.
RT 2.3, Wall of Sound June '74 — There were probably more gripes about us not releasing the full Louisville and Des Moines shows than with any other RT release. (C'mon, did you really need both versions of "Mexicali Blues" from those shows?) I'm partial to the "Eyes" > "China Doll" and "The Other One" from Louisville, but it's all top drawer.
RT 2.4, Cal Expo '93 — The "Playing in the Band" is probably the most adventurous of any early '90s versions. Good takes of later tunes such as "Corrina," "Liberty" and "Victim," as well.
RT 3.1, Oakland 12/28/79 — A nice companion to Dick's Picks Vol. 5 from the same set of shows. Another fine "Terrapin" > "Playing," though in this case I like the Bonus Disc best, with the scorching "Scarlet-Fire" > "Let It Grow" from 12/30.
RT 3.2, Austin 11/15/71 — Like RT 3.1, this is a complete show. The "Dark Star" > "El Paso" in the first set is heady stuff, and the "Not Fade Away" > "GDTRFB" > "NFA" truly one of my all-time favorite Grateful Dead performances.
RT 3.3, Fillmore East 5/15/70 — Our first three-disc set (plus Bonus)! The acoustic material is priceless (especially "Long Black Limousine" and "Ain't It Crazy") and both the "Dark Star" and "That's It for the Other One" are standouts. The Bonus Disc tracks from Merrimac College the previous night are killer, as well.
RT 3.4, Penn State/Cornell 1980 — I've listened to this one a lot. I particularly dig the "Shakedown" > "Bertha" and "space" > "Saint of Circumstance" from Cornell and the "He's Gone" > "The Other One" from Penn State.
RT 4.1, Big Rock Pow Wow 1969 — Two crazy acid-drenched shows from Florida in May '69. I'm a sucker for "He Was a Friend of Mine," and there are a couple of fiery versions of "The Eleven," a trippy "Dark Star" and a thumping "St. Stephen" out of "drums." Two half-hour versions of "Lovelight" is a bit much for me, though.
RT 4.2, April Fools '88 — Classic high-energy late '80s Dead, with outstanding versions of "Scarlet-Fire" and "China Cat-Rider," along with relative rarities such as "Dear Mr. Fantasy," "To Lay Me Down" and Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man."
RT 4.3, Denver 1973 — Love the "Playing" > "Wharf Rat" > "Playing" reprise > "Morning Dew," and the lacy first-set "Here Comes Sunshine."
RT 4.4, Spectrum 4/6/82 — For me, it's all about the "Shakedown" > "Lost Sailor- Saint" and "The Other One" > "Morning Dew." More early '80s, please!
RT 4.5, Boston Music Hall 6/9/76 — This would make my RT Top 5, with the awesome "St. Stephen" > "Eyes," best-ever "Crazy Fingers," wonderful "High Time" and solid bonus versions (from 6/12/76) of "Comes a Time" and "Mission in the Rain."
End of the line. Last call for Road Trips rants and raves! What do you think?
I love a complete show. Having missed the golden period of the band (60's-70's-80's) it makes me nuts when these are Not a Full show. I am openly greedy for the full night. Someone else's idea of "great mix" is a hit or miss thing when you start trying to cherry pick the "best moments" from a Dead Show. April Fools 88 (RT Vol 4 -#2)is a prime example of this. Disc #1 for some reason has an Outstanding run of 1st Set Songs from 4/01/88 capped by a solid Deal. Butt ended by MasterPiece and Let it Grow from 3/31/88 with an added bonus of a randomly placed Brokedown Palace the ENCORE from 4/01/88 to Close Disc #1. Which should have closed Disc #3 of this mess. This pattern repeats across the RT collection sadly. There was a chance to do more. It was missed on these.
No way would I disparage Dick's Picks, or Dave's Picks, 1-3 From The Vault, etc. - the apex of vault releases was in my opinion Road Trips and the Download Series. Judicious editing of the Road Trips produced live CDs without "down" spots and some interesting configurations of material that the "complete shows" just can't match for quality or interest. Kudos to those who assembled the Road Trips - I'm still listening to most of them regularly.
[I cherish the idea of box sets of complete "runs" like the Winterland and Fillmore West sets but honestly I don't play them very often. The latter day boxes of tour highlights with 5 or 6 complete shows from the 80s and 90s must fill a need some people have, but my tastes are more catholic and I kind of prefer the Dead without so much electric keyboard and generally in less massive venues . . . Also the persistent sound of tens of thousands of people cheering indiscriminately is kind of a drag - like the laugh tracks on MASH or your favorite old sitcoms. I like it when you can identify individuals in the audience on the live recording! You can do that with the older Dead shows.]
BIG ROCK POW WOW, AUSTIN '71, CAROUSEL 2-14-68, SUMMER 1971 and FILLMORE EAST 5-15-70 are my idea of a good time! Road Trips Forever!!!! or until Daddy takes the T-bird away.
I think the Road trips series were excellent!! They were primo to these ears and as Blair said...how many Mexicali's does one need!!! I loved the packaging too...and I for one am going to miss them!!
another reason i like the road trips is because when i put music on an ipod, i like just the variety. for example i love me the 30 days of the dead specifically cause it is so ipod-able! back at the beginning of the tapers section, when you could keep those, thats where they are, on the ipod. now i do love certain full shows, and there is a place for them, but i hope that with the new series, the bonus disc might be compiled, as well as filler material when space presents itself...
I believe that Golden Road pre-orders came with two bonus discs of radio interview material. I don't remember the details, but it could have been similar to the Twisted Radio Waves (Dr. Demento) disc that came with The Very Best of Jerry Garcia.
Obviously that intro was not on the master tape or it would have appeared. Not sure why they didn't use an aud. patch. But think about the 5/2/70 Binghamton DP "St. Stephen" where it comes in at "wishing well with the golden bell..." (if memory serves)... Alas, there are imperfections on nearly every master. I still think this Boston show sounds astonishingly good....
Bravo to you, Blair, for coming to the defense of the RT concept. I am all in favor of the band putting out complete shows, so long as those shows are completely fantastic. This is not at all uncommon for the glory years from 69>78 or so. But I can think of very many shows from the later years where there is a good stretch of excellent music mixed in with some uninspired repetition.
Look, I LOVE almost all of the releases, but I am seriously pissed that the intro of St. Stephen is clipped on disc 2 of the last Road Trips from Boston. Does anybody else have this problem? I mean it was the first one in 5 years.
I loved this series. There were lots of gems nestled in these releases. I know I am going to buy all of them, so I really liked the subscription option this past year and am pleased that Daves Faves is going to have a subscription option as well. My only complaint the the packaging. They are torn up with in days. Hopefully the new series will include new packaging.
Like with Dick's Picks, when the Road Trips series came about, I made it a point to purchase every release that came out. I was a moderate tape collector starting around '87, mainly seeking out shows I attended, then being turned onto the more commonly collected shows like 2/13/70, 8/27/72, 5/8/77, 12/31/78, ect.
By late '90, I began to dabble in taping some shows, but after a couple of years, bdecided it was more hassle to deal with noisey crowds, flying balloons/beach balls, lugging around mic stands, rain, ect than worth it. It was easier to seek out recordings of shows I wanted, plus DAT was common place and I could find people with better quality recordings than what I had.
As my tape collection grew, though a relatively small number of shows compared to most of my friends, I enjoyed what I accumulated greatly.
So in '93, when Dick's Picks started, I was ecstatic at the possiblities. As the series progressed, I liked every release, but found the '70s heavy focus to be a little boring after a while. There is such a wealth of untapped top notch material from the '80s that I was beginning to wonder why so many fans only like certain eras. Granted, I'm a fan of all line-ups, but went on the fence after DP #32. For the first time since the beginning of the series, I didn't immediately order the last four editions. Ultimimately, by the time #36 came out, I bought the last four in one lump sum just to have them all. Admittedly, there are a lot of '71, '72, '77 and '78 sets that I seldom listen too as it's kind of an overload from that era for me. Of course, the E72 box rejuvinated my interest in that era.
When Road Trips came around, the first release being from '79, my excitement level went through the roof because, finally, my favorite era was finally started to be tapped. As the series progressed, once again, being that the focus was '70s heavy, I was almost on the fence again until the MSG '90 and Cal Expo '93 came out. The Penn State/Cornell '80 release kept me interested, and when April Fools '88 finally arrived, I felt like "finally" we're getting into the best stuff.
Don't get me wrong. I like all era's, but the 80's, release wise, is still grossly under represented, especially from '84 on.
My hopes for Dave's Picks is that we'll get a break from the the heavy '72 - '78 concentration and see a lot more from '80 - '93. To me, many of the shows from '88-'90 are just as good and/or better than anything from '71-'78.
Again, I like all era's, and will purchase most if not all that comes out, but we have more than enough '72 to last many lifetimes of listening. I may be one of the only people here who would be only moderately excited with a release from the famous 8/27/72 show so many people desire. Bring on the Laguna Seca '88 run, Cal Expo and Eugene '90 runs and the Giants Stadium '89 runs please!
As a side note, I don't mind compilation/highlight releases from some runs or tours, but always welcome full shows. How about Red Rocks '87? Now there is a worthy box set.

Tens of thousands of Auburn fans are making their way to Pasadena, California and the surrounding areas ahead of Monday's BCS National Championship game.
Perhaps the biggest contingency of fans is coming on what's called "The BCS Bus", a huge group of chartered buses picking up fans in Las Vegas and driving them all to the Rose Bowl Stadium Monday.
The idea for the busing system came from an Auburn alum.
When the Rose Bowl Stadium is full of fans on January 6, a little more than one percent of the stadium will have gotten there by way of The BCS Bus, which consists of 24 charter buses filled to capacity.
The fans are mainly from Alabama and each is responsible for getting to Vegas. Once there, they'll be picked up. From Vegas, it's a 5-hour, straight-shot down Interstate 15 to the stadium parking lot. Just in case there are any mechanical issues, an empty 25th bus is also making the trip as a backup.
The man behind the idea is Auburn alum Patrick Greene, with the coordinating help of his wife. It's something Greene says he planned when Auburn went to the BCS National Championship in 2010 in Glendale, Arizona.
This time around, Greene started with 8 buses. They filled up instantly and more buses had to be added as the response grew. Greene says it's neat to know he had a part in helping so many Auburn fans get to the big game.
"It's been really special," Greene says. "When we were in the planning stages, we kind of made the commitment that was going to be, first and foremost, just really, we were trying to service the Auburn family and give them an affordable way to get to the game."
There's been coordination with a travel agency out of Las Vegas as well as with officials at the Rose Bowl to get more than 1,500 people to the game.

Posted on October 14, 2013
So, as I have hinted, we are sneaking up on our sixth annual twenty-fifth anniversary Newberry Book Fair, or our first annual thirtieth. (See, we had our twenty-fifth Book Fair in 2009, but we called it the twenty-fifth anniversary, except someone pointed out that our twenty-fifth anniversary Book Fair would logically be the one in 2010, since this was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first one, in 1985, and….. We ALWAYS get in trouble when we try to do math.)
We are trying to come up with proper celebratory ideas, "proper" in this case meaning something that doesn't cost much and doesn't get in the way of the customers. And what some people have come up with is a "Best of Blogsy" volume, comprising the thirty best blogs to appear in this space. (The four which were written by other people do not count, for though they may be better blogs, they are not by your Uncle Blogsy. Yeah, life's unfair, but you learned that when you paid five bucks for a really great book at the Book Fair and one of your kids told you, back home, that you donated that to the Newberry in the first place.)
I don't know: I was kind of planning to wait until after the Nobel Prize came through. But someone higher up in the administration has noted that this would mean we'd have to use 120 blogs, since that is unlikely to happen before 2104. This would quadruple the cost of the book, you see.
Anyway, a number of brave souls with great stamina are working their way through the entire run of the blog (which is sneaking up on its fifth anniversary.) I'm going to ask for your advice, but you needn't wade through every single banana box joke or expletive about bags with handles that fall off. Just let me know if there's a blog that especially haunts your nightmares. It could get a chance to be printed in black and white and be passed along to further generations. (Assuming further generations read.)
I have been making my way through the collection myself, and aside from noting the formatting changes that various computer systems have imposed on my prose, and wailing over the typos, I have observed a few rash statements I made about what I would do once these blogs were gathered in a book. I promised, for one thing, that the book would never be available on Kindle, Nook, or other e-Reader. In all honesty, I must admit this is beyond my power. If the Nobel Committee sees reason and send over the award, it would be uncivil of me to try to keep these works from the e-Reading public. You'll be there, won't you, watermelon fricassee, to explain the big words to them?
And on the principle that impressionable children would be unlikely to pick up the book, I vowed to reveal all the entries in my challenge to complete either of these sentences: "A Book is Like a Lover Except…." Or "A Book is Like a Lover Because…."
We'll see, peanut meringue pie. I can probably get away with a few of the answers ("A Book is Like a Lover Because you get really upset if your friend borrows it without telling you." "A Book is Like a Lover Except it doesn't get upset if you forget its name.") But most of the really good ones would raise eyebrows—and blood pressures—among the Powers That Is.
Such a book cannot be complete, of course: thirty blogs can give nothing more than a hint of the full flavor of the blog: like a mere teaspoon of tapioca meatloaf. But if it takes off, maybe the thirty-blog book will spread to the other Newberry blogs, and once they've all had a turn, lead to a Best of Blogsy II. So all will eventually come right.
Especially after I have picked up a banana box to bury everyone who emails me with "Best of Blogsy! Do you need to publish that because you're running out of blank books?"

Is the tightness in the U.S. indicative of tightness among the other major producing nations, or will South American producers, for example, pick up the slack? Global ending stocks averaged 9.3% of consumption over the past 10 years, but the estimate for 2012-13 has fallen to a modern-day historical low of 7.5%.
Argentina is expected to recover from last year's disastrous 40.1-million-tonne crop, which was down 18% from a year earlier. Early forecasts called for a 55-million-tonne crop, but growing regions have once again suffered from hot and dry weather, which has left the crops with insufficient moisture. Some analysts have lowered their estimates to 52 million tonnes.
Brazil, on the other hand, is enjoying favorable growing weather. While Argentinean estimates have been falling, Brazilian estimates have been growing. The USDA raised its estimate for Brazil in the December crop report, by 1.5 million tonnes, to 82.5 million tonnes. Still, the output losses in Argentina are larger than the increases in Brazil, and unless the weather improves, the South American supply side will put some further pressure on global inventories.
In conclusion, there are three separate issues that bear observation. First, it's hard to know how much of an incentive the new tax breaks in the U.S. will be for biodiesel producers. At the very least, it is fair to expect some growth. Then, foreign demand has shown strength, and that could resurface. Finally, Argentinean crops will remain a wild card unless timely rains appear.
We were stopped out at 49.50¢ per pound as per our Dec. 12 recommendation. The market has now broken out above the highs, with the potential to test the 2012 highs of $0.58 per pound. If you followed the stop, reenter long positions, and raise stops to $0.5050 per pound, basis the nearest contract, close only.

I know this is past news, but it is still curious that the French voters defied their government and voted against the EU treaty, which I thought they would, in general, support. However after reading the 'whys' the French feel they way they do - I understand completely. Unemployment is just over 10% and economic reforms enacted by their government have not improved their lives. Man does that sound familiar.
Don't get me wrong, nationalism and patriotism is great, even to bleed and die for - but the French vote against the EU Treaty and the general reasons stated by the populous seem to point to a government that is greatly ignoring what the people want. Something perhaps we have seen in our own country at one time or another.
What is also curious to at least me, is that Germany, along with eight other EU memebers have ratified the treaty, but France declined. I thought Germany also had unemployment in the double digits and was experiencing a severe cut in it welfare/unemployment services to it's less fortunate - so why the difference in voting between France and Germany - especially as it seemed, at least those two countries wanted the EU to have this treaty to start countering the US both in economics and in the military. I thought both countries would vote the same way - either yes or no. Also - will the EU treaty help all of the EU members, or only a few - or will the more developed members work to bring less-developed members up to par in areas of finance, health, economics, education, etc.?
Well, the Netherlands started voting, and it will be interesting again to see what happens:

Adam Rittenberg | ESPN.com
Kelly should call Auburn coach Gene Chizik, who owes him one after the BCS title game a few years ago. Kelly should ask if Chizik would be willing to trade places. Oregon could go play in the SEC for a week until its Pac-12 schedule gauntlet begins Nov. 3 against USC. That way, the Ducks could benefit from the SEC's clout in the computer rankings, rather than continuing to be dragged down by its league affiliation. Chizik and his 1-6 Auburn squad could escape the SEC meat grinder and play 1-6 Colorado. A win for everybody.
Unfortunately, Kelly and the Ducks have to stay put in the Pac-12, even after dropping to No. 4 in the latest BCS standings despite their continued dominance on the field. Oregon has won over the human voters, who have the Ducks at No. 2 in both polls, but all the speed and style points sadly don't mean squat with the computers. Oregon remains No. 6 in computer average, even after it dismantled Arizona State on the road Thursday night. All the Ducks can do is be patient and hope No. 7 Oregon State, No. 9 USC and No. 17 Stanford -- three teams Oregon faces in November -- continue to win. If Kelly's squad continues to dominate, it should eventually be rewarded. Unless Kansas State and Notre Dame keep winning, that is.
Week 8 seemed to bring out the best in all the national title contenders. Florida crushed South Carolina in The Swamp to strengthen its position at No. 2 in the BCS standings. Kansas State, now No. 3, recorded its second signature road win, dominating West Virginia in Morgantown behind new Heisman Trophy frontrunner Collin Klein. Alabama cruised past Tennessee in Knoxville to retain the No. 1 spot. There's not much to nitpick about the top four.
Kansas State, the new No. 3, might be the biggest threat to join an SEC team at the BCS title party. Bill Snyder's team is No. 2 in computer average, plays two ranked teams (No. 14 Texas Tech and No. 23 Texas) the rest of the way and won't play in a league title game.
Notre Dame didn't dominate its Week 8 opponent, but the Irish didn't need to. With Notre Dame, it's all about the two marquee road games, the first of which arrives this week at Oklahoma. If Notre Dame wins in Norman, it heads to USC on Nov. 24 to play for a spot in the title game. Given Notre Dame's computer clout (No. 3 average) and the schedule it has played, if it wins out, it deserves to be in.
The SEC continues to dominate the standings with three of the top six teams and five of the top 11. Although it's conceivable to see Alabama, Florida, LSU, Georgia or even unbeaten Mississippi State at the title game, several will suffer late-season losses, usually the kiss of death in the final BCS standings. LSU, rated a spot ahead of Oregon State despite the Beavers' perfect record, still has the best chance among the 1-loss teams to make it to Miami, followed by Oklahoma and USC. An All-SEC title game remains a possibility, but only if all other unbeatens stumble.
The Big 12, SEC and Pac-12 all have impressive contingents in the standings, while the ACC and Big East each have two entries. The Big Ten, shut out of the initial BCS standings, made an appearance Sunday with No. 22 Michigan and No. 25 Wisconsin. MAC unbeaten Ohio also entered the mix at No. 24.
Week 9 should provide more clarity. In addition to Notre Dame-Oklahoma, Alabama hosts Mississippi State, Kansas State hosts Texas Tech and Florida and Georgia meet in Jacksonville.
As for Oregon? The Ducks get Colorado. Another thrashing will take place. And potentially another drop in the BCS standings.
Right now, it's not easy being green.

Apparently unemployment makes me lazy. What have I done this week? Ummmm. Well, I've almost finished my book club book, watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, watched bad weather related movies on Syfy and played catch-the-string with my cat. What an exciting life I lead! Also, coconut Jelly Bellies are more addictive than cocaine.
Unemployment also gives one lots of time to serf the Web. Here are some awesome and, hopefully, interesting things I've found.
1) So in 70 years, if I'm reading this right, we will all be billionaires and natural gas will be free, or nearly free by 2015. The bad news is our (the US) officially assessed natural gas reserves will be dry by 2025 and by 2030, China will be using all the oil, leaving nothing for the US or Europe. Also, while we all will be billionaires we will also all owe a billion dollars…
2) The NuStar mission will "will pierce the dust and gas shrouding sources of high-energy X-rays, revealing many secrets they have long managed to conceal, scientists say."
3) Hubble spies 'UFO' Galaxy
4) Here are Life Science's Best Science Photos of the Week
5) Could Pandora exist? Here is an article, which discusses popular sci-fi concepts, including a planet like Pandora
6) Hey look! A giant space head!
Culture and Books:
1) Christopher Priest blasts 5 of 6 Arthur C Clarke award shortlisters and thinks the award should be suspended and judges forced to resign.
2) And here is a letter one of the judges sent to the guardian in response to Priest's "tantrum."
Personally, I agree with Priest (not about the suspension or about the judges), but about the books on the lists.
3) The Fall of the Roman Empire and the Rise of Islam: A historical meets sci-fi geek out!
4) Here is a question I debated more than 10 years ago when I was in high school. It was a Speculative Fiction (it's what self-conscious writers call sci-fi/fantasy) writing class that I attended once a week after classes let out.
5) Here is an old post about the 1000 novels you should read. I'm still working my way through the list to see what I've read and what I might like to read (and it's only part 1).
1) Okay. This isn't news, but it is interesting and Richard Engel is a journalist.
2) Mali rebels advance. It's only a few minutes at the start of the broadcast. This coup is really interesting stuff. Sanctions to start on Monday
3) Muslim Brotherhood names presidential candidate
4) Burma votes and Aung San Suu Kyi takes part
1) A Physicist at large: Richard Feynman's journey to Tuva
Rachel and I will be blogging tomorrow and she should post some stuff on her retreat.

text: Student Profiles Freeland Church '05 Freeland Church '05 Hometown: Morrisville, Vermont Major: Classics (concentration in Archaeology), with a minor in Biology Why did you come to Bowdoin? When I visited, I got a pretty good feeling from the place, and certainly liked it. But then, on one visit, I got here late for the interview and I was an hour late to meeting the person [with whom I would] stay overnight. It was a Sunday evening in the [Student] Union and there was nobody around, my mom's trying to get in touch with an admissions person to help us out, and she's having some success. But then the guy in the convenience store [in the Union] overhears what's going on and he just offered to take me in. That spoke a lot, I felt. It was really nice of him to offer that, and I stayed with him and I had a great night. Why did you decide on your major? I came here thinking biology - I'm minoring in biology. But I tried out a couple of archaeology classes. It's the kind of thing I couldn't study in high school and so, given the opportunity here, I really enjoyed it, and it just kind of took. I like the professors in it a lot, especially. What has been your best class at Bowdoin? Actually, my favorite class was in the biology department. It was Marine Biology with Amy Johnson. I thought it was amazing. We learned about all these different types of ecosystems on the coast and in the ocean. All the different factors that play a role in shaping those little tidal communities are really interesting, because every species develops different characteristics to deal with different stresses, and there's such a balance between everything. I really enjoyed learning about that, and Amy Johnson is an incredible lecturer. The lab instructor, Dave Guay, is great, I think. We went out every week to different parts of the coast and I loved that. We went to Reed State Park, we went to a grassy area called Middle Bay in Harpswell, and we went to a rocky coast a little north of here, just off the edges of Bath. What extracurriculars do you participate in? What do you like about them? The biggest thing is Ultimate Frisbee, certainly. I've been playing since I came here and have really enjoyed it. It's a good team to be a part of. We practice every day, Monday through Friday, and we have tournaments, about four or five tournaments each season. Often, we play with the women's team. In high school, I played a lot of sports, but I was not nearly good enough at any of them to compete here. But I knew I wanted to play something. I really enjoy competition and physical activity. It's funny, actually. The summer leading up to freshman year, I had this idea in my head that everybody in college throws a Frisbee around all the time, and I had never really done it before, so I decided I had to learn how to throw a Frisbee before coming to school, or I would be ostracized. And it's not true - not everybody throws a Frisbee at college. But once I learned how to throw it, I thought, "Well, might as well play Ultimate." And it's been a lot of fun. I volunteer at the shelter in town, helping to serve dinner one night a week. I've really enjoyed [volunteering]; I've met some great people down there. It's nice to be a part of something very different from Bowdoin, even if it is only an hour and a half a week. I do the Polar Bear Club - we try to go swimming twice a month in the ocean. We actually went last night [in December]. It was a lot of fun. We went out to Simpson's Point. You just jump in and jump out pretty quickly. Last night it really wasn't so bad - I'm sorry I didn't stay in longer. I dunked in and then [scrambled] out pretty quickly. At the time I would have told you that staying in longer was a horrible idea, but looking back, I think "Aaah, I could have handled a little bit more, it would have been fine." It's a lot of fun. We've been getting a pretty big turnout - around twenty people a trip. What is your best Bowdoin memory? There's a collage of little things. The things that make me happy going around campus are just bumping into people and having conversations. There are so many great people here. I'm often impressed by all the different talents that people bring to the table. It's wonderful to see your peers doing the things that they're good at. What are your plans after graduation? Broad ideas would be getting into non-profit or teaching, and specifically for non-profits, dealing with either hunger or poverty. Mostly, so far, I've applied to a bunch of different teaching programs. Because I'm not certified, I have to take one of the back doors in. We'll see what comes of it. I've been considering [teaching] perhaps even high school math. If somebody wants a Latin teacher, I could probably handle that. Is there anything else about Bowdoin or your experiences here that you'd like a prospective student to know? The professors on campus are incredible, and a wonderful resource. I recommend getting to know them and talking to them - not just about class, but other things that you connect on. A lot of them, I've found, are just great people and a lot of fun to be around. I consider learning to be a tremendous activity and a gift, and from these professors we can learn so much. Professor Bandy [of the sociology department] - I've never actually even had a class with him, unfortunately - he's the faculty advisor for the Frisbee team, and so I've worked fairly closely with him. I think he's incredibly well-spoken. With Frisbee, we've discussed so many different things, in terms of running the team, and I always feel like he really respects my opinion, even if we don't agree, and I learn a lot about myself, even, from just talking to him. Professor Johnson for marine biology is an incredible professor and I always enjoy talking to her outside of class. For a couple of my classes, we had an end-of-the-semester dinner at her place and she encouraged costumes, and that was a lot of fun. I've worked with Professor Higginbotham [of the classics department] and Professor Shaw [of the anthropology department] in the summers. The summer after sophomore year, I went to Italy with Professor Higginbotham to do an excavation, and that was fantastic. I've learned a lot from him, certainly. That was my first real excavation experience. This past summer, I worked with Professor Shaw and her husband, John Cross, who actually works at Bowdoin, as well, and they were both incredible. I was doing mostly research, but eventually helped them out on a nine-day excavation over in East Brunswick. We were looking at Native American [artifacts] from 4,000 to 8,000 years ago. Part of the project was [cataloguing] a whole bunch of artifacts from different collections in the area, and Professor Shaw and John Cross were just incredibly helpful and supportive all the way, and then on the excavation itself, which was where we were most closely working together, they were amazing. I learned so much from them about the history of Maine and the history of Bowdoin, too. John Cross knows so much about Bowdoin, and about excavating. They were just really funny to work with - they'd be making jokes all the time. John Cross works in [the] development [division at Bowdoin, as assistant secretary of the College], but he's an archaeologist by training. These are the kinds of opportunities you have when you get to know your professors. Story posted on January 20, 2005 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home
