Before electronic transfers and day traders, every investor in a company would be issued with a stock certificate. Much like a government bond, or even a simple I.O.U., the certificate would guarantee the holder specific rights and act as a store of value. With today's financial sector turned upside down by recession, it's interesting to see how these old slips of paper have become collectable. You might even turn a better profit dropping your money on collectable certificates instead of investing in the turbulent markets.
Practitioners of this hobby call it scripophily, the word 'scrip' means ownership right and the word 'philos' means to love.
While a certain percentage of scripophiles are the CEOs and bankers you might expect to be interested in dead companies, scripophily is also a crossroads where collectors of all types of ephemera meet. Autograph collectors add stocks to their collections to snap up the signatures of famous tycoons like John D. Rockefeller or W.H. Vanderbilt, art lovers seek out the ornate lithographs as well as steel and wood plate designs that adorn older certificates, and American historians add to their civil war collections with bonds from the Confederate government or feed their train fixation with stocks from the early railroads. Stamp collectors also get in on the act – we're not talking postage stamps here but tax and transfer stamps. Many stocks will have these stamps and cancelation marks affixed to them which can add collectable value.
As with any type of collecting, there are some general rules of thumb when ascertaining value, and many basic ones regarding condition, grading, scarcity and signatures can be transferred directly from book collecting.
If you think of a company's notoriety as you would an author's popularity, it can help gauge which certificates might warrant the highest prices. Stocks from companies who were cutting edge in their field or developed world-changing technologies attract collectors because people want a piece of history.
The fantastic failures and frauds are also attractive to collectors. Stock certificates from companies like Bre-X, Enron or failed dot coms have become hot commodities, often with the novelty value eclipsing the actual share value.
Aside from these usual suspects there are a couple of traits unique to scripophily that can affect the collectibility of a stock certificate. The face value of the stock still effects the sale price of a certificate as a collector's item; with the higher value stocks usually being worth more as a collectable. Stocks were also printed en-mass and therefore you can find them on the collectors' market in two different states - issued and unissued - with issued certificates usually holding a higher value than their unissued brethren.

Francona's Cleveland debut special for father, son
Tribe skipper manages first game in city where dad, Tito, played six years
CLEVELAND -- Somewhere in the midst of his six seasons with the Indians, Tito Francona had his eyes on a home on the city's west side. It was a $29,000 bungalow in Rocky River, a place where a young ballplayer could raise a family and maybe even spend the rest of a lifetime.
But Tito's boss was the infamous Frank "Trader" Lane, the guy who, in his career as a big league general manager, dealt Rocky Colavito and Roger Maris and Early Wynn and Enos Slaughter and Norm Cash and even tried to trade Stan Musial from the Cardinals. Suffice to say, then, that Francona knew his tenure with the Tribe was, shall we say, subject to change, so he decided not to commit to Cleveland real estate.
Tito took root, instead, at the old Commodore Hotel, a red-brick building on Euclid Avenue, set among shops and jazz clubs and movie theaters, and within walking distance of Western Reserve University. The location was desirable, but the place certainly didn't afford much open space for Tito's young son, Terry, to play ball.
"We lived on the fifth floor," Tito recalled, "and Terry would be hitting the Wiffle ball through the window. I'd have to go chase the ball down on the main street."
The 79-year-old Tito still chases after his son, in a certain sense. He coordinates his golf and dinner schedule around his son's games, glued to the television whenever Terry's teams take the field, that nervous feeling forming in his gut.
But in Terry's eight seasons as skipper of the Red Sox, Tito didn't attend a single game at Fenway Park. He always preferred the comfort of his own couch, and he knew the last thing his son needed in Boston was another set of eyes on him.
"That job up there in Boston, he was going 24/7," Tito said. "And pressure, pressure, pressure. He used to tell me when he'd go to the ballpark, he didn't even want to stop at any stoplights."
It's an entirely different vibe here in the city where the father once played and the son now oversees an intriguing Indians team. Forget worrying about an ugly encounter at a red light. Terry walked to work Monday morning before the Tribe's home opener against the Yankees -- and true to form for a guy notoriously awful with directions, he got lost during the two-block trek. For future games, he has plans to ride a motorized scooter to and from his downtown apartment, much like he used to ride his little red tricycle around the Western Reserve campus.
Tito was here, too, throwing out a ceremonial first pitch to his son in a touching pregame ceremony celebrating baseball's connective qualities. That quality is what makes Cleveland such a special place for the Franconas, and it's the reason the father was probably just as excited as the son when plans were put in place for Terry to take this job.
"This," Terry said, "is an extra special place for him, no doubt about it."
Special enough to coax Tito off the couch and prompt him to make the 100-mile trek from New Brighton, Pa.
It's a drive he expects to make often this summer.
"This is like renewing my contract," Tito laughed. "It brings new life for me. I played, and then I was out of it, and then when Terry started playing, I got interested again. And then, when he became a manager, boy, I became really involved. I don't think we've missed a game since he became a manager."
The only downside to Tito's increased attendance at his son's game will be the confusion it causes. People say, "Hey, Tito!" within earshot of the two men, and both their heads turn. Much like John Patsy Francona has been answering to the nickname "Tito" -- an Italian phrase for "little one" or "little giant" -- virtually his entire life, so too has his son.
"When I was hanging around the clubhouse as a kid, it was always, 'Hey, Little Tito,'" Terry recalled. "They probably didn't know my real name. I always thought it was pretty cool. I love my dad. I think he's the best dad in the world."
The elder Francona played 1,719 games in his 15 Major League seasons. Funny that despite all that angst about Lane, this was the place he spent the most -- and best -- years of his career. He received MVP votes in his first season with the Indians in 1959 -- the year Terry was born. And as Tito's career continued, his son was often by his side, developing a sharp evaluative eye.
"Most kids would be running around the ballpark," Tito said. "But when the game started, you'd always see Terry behind home plate. His arms would be on the rail, and he'd be watching them pitching. I took him on a road trip to Minnesota, and Bert Blyleven was pitching. After the game, he said, 'Dad, that was the best curveball I've ever seen.' He followed it. He knew the game."
Of course, the stories aren't all so glowing. Tito remembered a time when he was with St. Louis, and his son came into the clubhouse clutching a fistful of dollar bills.
"Where'd you get that money?" Tito asked.
"Dad," Terry replied, "we're out there selling bats!"
While Terry and his buddies -- pitcher Curt Simmons' kids -- showed quite the entrepreneurial spirit in finding buyers for the Cards' game-ready bats, Tito knew his teammates wouldn't be too thrilled with the arrangement.
"Don't you tell anybody about this!" the frustrated father said.
Because of a series of debilitating injuries, Terry didn't have anywhere near as accomplished a playing career as his old man. But his two World Series titles with the Red Sox cemented his legacy as a manager and ushered in great expectations upon his arrival in Cleveland.
"I would like to see him win two more here," Tito said with a smile.
People here have been waiting 65 years for just one title, and days like Monday, when Ubaldo Jimenez got lit up by the Yankees in an 11-6 loss, have an all-too-familiar quality to them. But there is no denying the air of positivity emanating from that Cleveland clubhouse, and it all stems from Terry Francona's decision to come here last October.
So Tito will watch every game this season, rooting for his favorite team and his beloved boy. It's a great father-son story in a sport that lends itself to them. And while Tito never did settle into that house in Rocky River, well, some ties go beyond a real estate contract.
"This," Tito said, "is like coming back home."

Post subject: New Topic "NET"
...should be added to this forum main topics.
Here is the question: can anyone elaborate what this examples in the create_thread1@ demonstrates ? The specific functionality i am looking for is that when i launch N threads all of them wait until they finish before continuing. Is this what create_thread1@ is made for?
EXTERNAL foo
ASSEMBLY_EXTERNAL(NAME="System.Threading.Thread.Join") T_JOIN
OBJECT("System.Threading.Thread") NEW_THREAD
CALL CREATE_THREAD1@(foo,42,NEW_THREAD)
!Do some processing...
PRINT*,'Finishing main program.'
SUBROUTINE foo(m)
INTEGER m
PRINT*,'In foo ',m

By the way the #1 question for NET: I know how to compile simple program for NET with just one line. For example compiling some simple code produces running exe file
> ftn95 parallel4a.f95 /clr /link /multi_threaded
All done behind the scene and automatically. But how to initially compile and then link such programs in two steps using command prompt if the code has many subroutines? Can i compile NET specific part separately from x86? Or all must be made in just one or another platform?
When i compile the way we do in x86 mode
ftn95 parallel4a.f95 /clr /multi_threaded
i get the obj files for NET usual x86 linker does not understand

create_thread1@ returns immediately. The executable will run until the main process is terminated. My guess is that, terminating the main process will terminate any associated threads.
Normally (e.g. C#) .NET has a compilation stage but no linking stage but FTN95 is different. To overcome the problem of using Fortran in a garbage collecting environment, FTN95 has a "linker" that locks down the Fortran memory usage. No doubt there will be problems if you try to use either FTN95 or DBK_LINKx other than on an x86 "machine".

Thanks. My approach at this stage when i do not know all the pitfalls of NET is to apply NET multithreading parallelism in small subprograms called by the main large x86 code as a postprocessors without rebuilding the main code to be NET too (if possible).
On small testbeds parallelization using just the FTN95 NET capabilities alone looks very simple and promising, so there is no reason to jump to other NET or parallel compilers to get that. Using multi-language programming is dangerous step for code support and development (if that's not Microsoft and Intel compilers) and there must be very compelling reasons for that, i do not see any, FTN95 is completely capable of parallel computations.
To illustrate what i have and what is intended to be accomplished, imagine that the x86 code produces outputs of arrays A(i), B(i), C(i) etc (say, temperatures, densities etc as a function of coordinate) while the postptocessing NET program will use these A,B,C to make some other quantity (say, the X-ray spectrum) and work on all CPU cores. Ideally NET postprocessor can get all the A,B,C data via common block or module. Because all A,B,C are known the parallelization should be straightforward.
Of course making NET parallel postporocessor as a separate program is in principle possible but not desirable (using CISSUE etc)
So is it possible to mix x86 and NET this way? Any suggestions on compilation of x86+NET and linking together, ideally via command line compilation, will be appreciated.
Also, Paul, please consider adding "NET" to the forum's major topics!

Am i right that the only way this could be potentially done is via wrapping NET part into DLL and call it from x86 code? And if i will use in the NET part of the code some modules created in X86 part of the code (instead of exchanging data between x86 and NET old way via common blocks) this will not work too because NET compiler does not understand modules from x86 which means that the whole code must be compiled in NET

I think it would be more straightforward to Forget .NET and use win32 api directly. I tried to use CreateThread() function from FTN95, but always got zero as return value. Maybe Paul could help with this one?
Anyway, I ended up using a simple DLL-wrapper for win32 api multithreading functions. With some quick tests, all seems to be working fine.

CREATE_THREAD@ and CREATE_THREAD1@ are for .NET only.
I cannot see any documented FTN95 Win32 thread functions.
There is an undocumented SPAWN@ that calls CreateThread but I would have to experiment with it to see how it works.
As observed, you can call CreateThread directly. You will find it in win32api.ins.

Thanks, Paul. Do you mean directly - without NET? That would be very very very interesting because i am not sure i will succeed rebuilding to NET large code versus just small demo. Any example for usage or the suggestions what are the arguments here
STDCALL CREATETHREAD 'CreateThread' (REF,VAL,REF,REF,VAL,REF) &
Or how about making subroutine CREATE_THREAD_x86@ not for NET ?
I used SPAWN with DOS FTN77 20 years ago, but there it crashed a lot ( everything was unstable at DOS times including DOS itself). I still see these lines in the code though they are dead and are commented out.
CALL SPAWN@ (EXIT_TO_DOS_MULTITASK2,STACK,40000L,istack)
Windows is much more stable now, and SPAWN might work. But I do not see SPAWN@ in the Help though.
Also while i am still trying to get through the forest and recompile the whole code for NET (it is very tempting to get almost an order of magnitude speedup on real code) i will share my experience for those who are interested, this may save your time in future:
- NET linker dbk_link2 does not recognize third party LIB files (used for parallel algebra... i have zero hope the developer will recompile it for NET).
- Now i see why developers mostly use INCLUDE <clearwin.ins> and not USE CLRWIN or USE MSWIN. Usual x86 modules will not work under NET.
- Bad news is that /3gb option is not recognized.
- NET linker is more strict which is good because it found me few errors of argument type mismatch or calling real*8 function as real*4.
- Compilation stopped with weird error "Array is too large" pointing on variable which was even not an array. Spreading and shuffling subroutines around - and the error disappears.
- And this is my final point after two days of rebuilding:
[DBK_LINK Ver. 2.0.0 ] *** Internal Linker Error....
Decreased all arrays to almost zero but this did not help. So that's a shutdown for today, will see what tomorrow brings.

By "directly" I meant by calling into the Microsoft Windows API using CreateThread etc. To do this you can Google "MSDN CreateThread" and work out how to pass the arguments. Jalih reports above that he has done this but I have not tried this approach myself. You can also access the same Windows API libraries via C# and this is essentially what CREATE_THREAD@ does for you.

jalih, thanks for the idea. I compiled it (one of two works) but after modifying it like in the last test in the other thread
don't seem code waits properly threads end. Can you reproduce this exactly test?

By the way have anyone tried the approach of using normal x86 FTN95 compiler while wrapping multithreading part into DLL using NET? That approach should have some advantages over complete NET approach like option for /3GB, it is more stable and well checked by orders of magnitude more users. Here could be other pitfalls but right now that looks like another simple way dealing with the threads within this compiler. FTN95 should accept NET DLL like it is doing with DLLs created by many other third party compilers. I have tried this approach but because my NET experience is near zero level i still have not succeeded.
Here what i have done, all 100% are in front of you. I created file the text of which is below called parallel_NET_DLL.f95 which 100% works under NET and compiled it this way for NET
C:> ftn95 parallel_NET_DLL.f95 /clr /multi_threaded
It contains function Parallel_NET_DLL which starts threads. The analog of OBJ file for NET compiler produces is called parallel_NET_DLL.dbk
integer function Parallel_NET_DLL ()
include <clearwin.ins>
EXTERNAL runN
parameter (nThrMax=80)
common /threads_/nEmployedThreads, kThreadEnded(nThrMax)
1 print*,' Enter number of parallel threads < 8'
read(*,*) nEmployedThreads
! if(nEmployedThreads.lt.1.or.nEmployedThreads.gt.8) nEmployedThreads=4
call clock@ (time_start)
!...set a flag of thread finished
do i = 1, nEmployedThreads
CALL CREATE_THREAD@(runN,20+i)
call sleep1@(0.02)
!...wait till all threads finish
do while (minval(kThreadEnded)==0)
call sleep1@(0.1)
call clock@ (time_finish)
time = time_finish-time_start
time2= time * nEmployedThreads
print*, 'Elapsed time, total CPU time=', time, time2
goto 1
Parallel_NET_DLL = 1
END function
! =====================================================================
subroutine runN (iThrHandle)
include <clearwin.ins>
parameter (nThrMax=80)
common /threads_/nEmployedThreads, kThreadEnded(nThrMax)
ithr = iThrHandle-20
lock; print*,'Started thread # ', ithr ; end lock
d =2.22
kThreadEnded(ithr) = 0
do i=1,200000000/nEmployedThreads
lock; print*, 'Ended thread # ', ithr ; end lock
Then i made DLL out of it this way
C:>dbk_link2 /multi_threaded parallel_NET_DLL.dll parallel_NET_DLL.dbk
Then i created main program file for regular x86 mode which just calls this function Parallel_NET_DLL and compiled it usual way
C:> ftn95 parallelDLLmain.f95
integer Parallel_NET_DLL
external Parallel_NET_DLL
jj = Parallel_NET_DLL()
print*, 'done'
At the end i linked OBJ and DLL using regular SLINK
C:> SLINK parallelDLLmain.obj parallel_NET_DLL.dll
Here is BAT file if you named files as i did above
ftn95 parallel_NET_DLL.f95 /clr /multi_threaded >zftn95NET
dbk_link2 /multi_threaded parallel_NET_DLL.dll parallel_NET_DLL.dbk >zlinkNET
ftn95 parallelDLLmain.f95 >zftn95x86
SLINK parallelDLLmain.obj parallel_NET_DLL.dll >zlinkx86
I got the error that SLINK does not find the function parallel_NET_DLL. Last thing i expected is such message which means that NET DLL is not recognized. Even compiling everything for NET by taking proper dbk_link2 instead of SLINK has the same problem. What's wrong ? Linker for NET has the problem creating readable DLL or i made some mistake somewhere?

SLINK cannot link object files or DLLs compiled for .NET.
Use FTN95 (without /clr) with SLINK.
Use FTN95 (with /clr) with DBK_LINKx.
Use DLLs that match with the executable in this sense.

But as i wrote NET DLL does not match even with own DBK_LINK if we substitute SLINK with it! Or i am doing something wrong?
And if SLINK can not link NET DLL -- that is very pity. Why it is that? It can connect with DLLs from bunch of obscure third party compilers while can not even *start* the own NET program. Since this thread is in Suggestions i'd appreciate if developers investigate if launching of own NET DLLs from x86 could be potentially possible. That is specifically important to me since i can not get through to the end using NET with our large code, the compiler freaks out, linker gives up without much diagnostics, all reminds me stability of FTN90/95 around 15 years ago. More years and more users need to polish NET compiler. And needless to say that everyone will win from that. FTN95 for NET has excellent multithreading capabilities as a way for parallel calculations

I don't think that DLLs can be used as input on a DBK_LINKx command line.
Try using DBK_LINKx without the DLL input.
Remember that DBK_LINKx is only a psuedo linker. Normally .NET does not have a linker. Everything is automatically linked at load time. So presumably DBK_LINKx only needs the .dbk files.
SLINK cannot be made to link .NET DLL assemblies. In this case it is not a question of time or resources. It cannot be done.

Well, all that may sound OK to CS department folks but for others it sounds a bit perpendicular to their experience and expectations from the new language. It definitely does not encourage scientists and engineers to learn and use NET. I'd say, exactly opposite, it screams to avoid it as the multilanguage programming is always not a plus for maintainability and usability of the large codes. NET looks like a dead language which became dead among the groups using Fortran by not reaching critical mass of acceptance. And its functionality is too restrictive. I feel now that probably the devotion of resources to build the NET instead of 64bit and OpenMP/CUDA capabilities was a mistake of developers of this compiler, because former does not while latter do lie on the mainstream of computers/languages evolution. Why did i use NET, did i need it? Not at all, i needed multithreading to parallelize the code. On tiny test code NET worked, on large it failed. And without large users base there will be no chance that NET will be not a dead buggy extension of this compiler. So pity because all started to great...
So what other options are left? WinAPI...

They say there's a mower for every job. We say there's a mower that can handle just about any job you throw at it. It's called the 1500 Series TerrainCut Front Mower. The most capable year-round front mount mowers we've ever made, this new lineup delivers unsurpassed performance. With an available factory-installed ComfortCab, powerful diesel engines, and 7-Iron™ PRO decks,the 1500 TerrainCut Series Mowers are more than up to the task.
Make that tasks – because the 1500 Series is also the most versatile front mower we've ever made. When you combine the full array of available attachments and implements with that heated, cooled, sealed, sit-back-and-get-to-work-in-any weather cab, you've got a machine that pretty much stops at nothing. Mowing and sweeping, pushing and plowing? It's all in a day's work. Every day of the year.

French in a Flash: Soft-Shell Crab Meunière Recipe
Sole Meunière is one of the giants of deliciousness in French cuisine. I think it's the dish that Meryl Streep moons over rapturously in Julie & Julia. And for good reason. Thin, slightly crisped fillets of sole soaked in lemony brown butter. What could be better?
Maybe, just maybe, soft-shell crabs can. When I saw them at the store this week and thought of how my mom always sautés them up in butter, I wonder if I couldn't hybrid the two and prepare the crabs à la Meunière: plunged in milk, lightly dredged in flour, seared, and then bathed in that brown butter with just a hint of lemon. Nothing goes better with seafood than melted butter. Lemon brown butter is just that bit more special.
I think I might finally have maman trumped!
- Yield:serves 2 to 4
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:10 minutes
- 4 jumbo soft-shell crabs, prepared by your fishmonger
- 1/2 cup milk
- Kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 5/8-inch slice of lemon
- Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Place the crabs in a bowl of milk. Season the flour with the salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour.
In a wide skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Place the other two tablespoons of butter in a small saucepot over medium-low heat. Melt the butter, and then continue to gently cook it until the butter solids turn golden brown. Add in the lemon slice and remove from the heat.
Place the crabs in the skillet with the butter and sauté until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Arrange on a platter, and pour the lemony butter sauce over the crabs. Garnish with parsley and/or extra lemon wedges.

URBANST 136: The Sharing Economy (PUBLPOL 136)
The rapid growth of the sharing economy, sometimes also called the peer to peer economy, is made possible by the ubiquity of smart phones, inefficiency of ownership, and measures designed to create and measure trust among participants. The course will explore not only the rapid rise of certain companies but also the shadow side of commercialized relationships. We will examine the economics and development consequences of the sharing economy, primarily with an urban focus, along an emphasis on the design of platforms and markets, ownership, the nature of work, environmental degradation and inequality.

URBANST 138: Smart Cities & Communities
A city is essentially an organism, a complex system of systems and it inhabitants. A nexus of forces - IoT, data, systems of insight, and systems of engagement - present an unprecedented opportunity to increase the efficiency of urban systems, improve the efficacy of public services, and to assure the resiliency of the community against both chronic stresses and acute shocks.nnThe course will provide you with an understanding of the foundational elements of a smart city and address the breadth of systems that comprise it: built infrastructure, energy, water, transportation, food production/distribution, and public/social services. Case studies will be used to illustrate the approaches, benefits, and risks involved. It will discuss what IT can and cannot do, and most importantly given the control and privacy implications of many ¿smart¿ IT systems, what the smart city should and should not do. nnPanel discussions and guest speakers from the public sector and industry leading technology providers will give students an opportunity to engage with the architects and operators of Smart Cities.

URBANST 141: Gentrification (AFRICAAM 241A, CSRE 141)
Neighborhoods in the Bay Area and around the world are undergoing a transformation known as gentrification. Middle- and upper-income people are moving into what were once low-income areas, and housing costs are on the rise. Tensions between newcomers and old timers, who are often separated by race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, can erupt; high rents may force long-time residents to leave. In this class we will move beyond simplistic media depictions to explore the complex history, nature, causes and consequences of this process. Students will learn through readings, films, class discussions, and engagement with a local community organization. (Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center)

URBANST 146: Retaking the Commons: Public Space and Heritage for Sustainable Cities
As cities develop and grow, green spaces, heritage sites, parks, and historic neighborhoods have come under increasing pressure. While common pool resources are held in the public trust, who governs them? Who advocates for them, and who enjoys them? Using economic, social, environmental and cultural lenses, this course explores how maintaining civic spaces, protecting heritage resources, and re-imagining the role of ¿public goods¿ in the life of a city can yield more sustainable and beneficial outcomes. We also consider best practices from UNESCO and UN HABITAT, and the crucial role of citizenship and democracy. Recommended field work in Hong Kong in September 2017

Well, the blueberry recipes just keep coming, don't they? I hope that's okay with you guys, because this Whole Wheat Oatmeal Blueberry Bread sure is scrumptious!
With all the streusel-topped blueberry yumminess that's been making appearances around our kitchen, I was in the mood for something a little more hearty and healthy. This bread really hit the spot.
It's packed with wonderfully fresh blueberries, oats and whole wheat flour, plus the buttermilk was a great substitution for the regular milk that the original recipe called for. The original recipe also called for 1 cup of frozen berries. I doubled it to two full cups and used fresh instead of frozen fruit. Quite delightful, if you ask me. :)
While the fresh berries really make this bread something special, if blueberries aren't in season and frozen is all that you can find, then by all means go for it. It will still be delicious!
Bon appetit, my friends! :)
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Blueberry Bread
Adapted from: From Judy's Kitchen
1 cup quick oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup quick oats
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
6 Tbsp canola oil
1 cup white flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
6 Tbsp canola oil
1 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease one large loaf pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix together the first six ingredients on medium speed until mixed thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the white flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to the buttermilk mixture and stir until just moistened. Next, carefully fold in fresh blueberries.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Obama To Hold White House News Conference
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Linda Wertheimer in for Renee Montagne.
Later today, President Obama will hold a news conference in the East Room of the White House, the first since his reelection. And he's got a lot of big questions facing him.
Joining me now for a look at what is on the president's plate and on reporters' minds is NPR's national political correspondent, Mara Liasson. Good morning, Mara.
MARA LIASSON, BYLINE: Good morning, Linda.
WERTHEIMER: So what is the latest we know about the scandal involving General David Petraeus, and possibly General John Allen?
LIASSON: Well, this is really turning into the nation security soap opera. General John Allen, who is the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, is now under investigation for possibly sending inappropriate emails to a woman who was supposedly being threatened by David Petraeus's mistress, Paula Broadwell.
WERTHEIMER: You need a map, a chart.
LIASSON: Yes, you need a chart. John Allen was up for a promotion to be the supreme commander of NATO in Europe. But that promotion is now on hold. And the FBI searched the home of Paula Broadwell.
The president is sure to be asked about all of this. He'll be asked why the White House wasn't informed earlier by the FBI about the investigation; whether he's still confident in General Allen; and what this says about the culture of his national security team.
WERTHEIMER: Now, General Petraeus was supposed to testify about Benghazi this week before he stepped down. The CIA plan to run in a substitute? Some folks on the Hill say they still want Petraeus.
LIASSON: Yes and I...
WERTHEIMER: (Unintelligible)
LIASSON: I think they still will get him, even if he has to testify in a closed session.
WERTHEIMER: The fiscal cliff, that's obviously going to come up, the December 31st deadline to beat automatic tax hikes and spending cuts. Talks are going on now at the White House
LIASSON: That's right. I think the president will get a lot of questions about this today. Yesterday, he met with labor leaders. Today he's meeting with business leaders. He'll be asked how adamant he is that income tax rates go up, not just revenues on the rich. Yesterday, Tim Geithner, his Treasury secretary, said he just can't get enough money if you merely cap deductions.
He'll be asked about proposals from other Democrats like Tim Kane, the newly elected senator from Virginia, or New York Senator Charles Schumer, about raising taxes on people will make over $500,000 or a million dollars instead of 250,000, which is the president's proposal. He'll certainly be asked about what kind of entitlement reforms he envisions, what he wants to do with the capital gains differential.
The White House has said that the president doesn't want to be boxed in and he doesn't want to box anyone else in. But still, his opening bid is his budget proposal to raise $1.6 trillion in taxes, that's about twice as much as John Boehner was willing to offer him last year. And that proposal was rejected, 99 to zero in the Senate.
So I think the big question is: is the president willing to actually go off the cliff as several Democrats have suggested.
WERTHEIMER: Now, as usually happens, the president has to deal with these hot topics that are upfront. But do you think there's anything else coming? Are we likely to hear about plans for the new term?
LIASSON: I think the president will be asked about - on cabinet appointments. He has some very big positions to fill: Treasury, State, and now CIA, also Defense. I think he might be asked about immigration reform. He says he wants to get that done this term. The stars seem aligned now for a comprehensive immigration reform proposal. You have Republicans, from John Boehner to Rand Paul, saying they're willing to contemplate a path to legalization or citizenship. I think he'll be asked about the incident in Libya, why the Benghazi consulate was so poorly protected.
So the president has a tremendous amount on his plate and he'll get questions about all of it today.
WERTHEIMER: Do you think we're likely to see any more of these big-time news conferences, Mara? There weren't many last year.
LIASSON: No, there weren't. The last time the president appeared before the White House press corps in the East Room was March 6th. The last time he answered questions from White House reporters was August 20th in the Briefing Room. I think this was supposed to be a kind of triumphant post-reelection press conference. But now, it will be dominated by that sex scandal and a whole bunch of other thorny issues.
WERTHEIMER: NPR's Mara Liasson, thank you very much.
LIASSON: Thank you, Linda. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A Pillar Of AIDS Research And Activism, Lost With Shot-Down Jet
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 had been carrying several researchers and activists on their way to a global AIDS conference in Australia. Among them was Dr. Joep Lange, a leading researcher and former president of the International AIDS Society. He was a giant in the field and a mentor to many.


text: An evening of family oriented home-spun comedy by one of America's funniest comedians. Louie Anderson - One Night Only! $30 General Admission and $40 VIP Gold Circle with reserved seating and Meet and Greet with Louie 30 minutes before the show.Louie Anderson is one of the most versatile and successful comedians working in Hollywood today. The television audiences who never missed his nightly hit series "Family Feud" or his appearances on late night chat shows love the multi-talented comedian. He is adored by standing-room-only crowds in Las Vegas and respected by readers of his books. The rising comics he mentors and encourages with his honesty and wisdom worship him.Sharing the ups and downs of his childhood experiences as one of eleven children in Minnesota, Louie crafted comedy routines that rang true for his early club audiences while reducing them to helpless fits of laughter, routines that led him from his career as a counselor to troubled children to the first-place trophy at the 1981 Midwest Comedy Competition. Henny Youngman, who hosted the competition, recognized the diamond-in-the-rough genius of the young comic and hired him as a writer, providing invaluable experience that soon put Louie in his own spotlight on comedy stages all over the country.Johnny Carson, the comedy icon for generations of rising stars, invited Louie to make his national television debut on the "The Tonight Show" in 1984, and the rest is history. Leno, Letterman, "Comic Relief" and Showtime and HBO specials followed, making Louie a household name and opening doors for him as an actor. He has guest-starred in sitcoms like "Grace Under Fire" and dramas like "Touched by an Angel" and "Chicago Hope," and he has had memorable featured roles in film comedies like "Coming to America," opposite of Eddie Murphy, and the classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." He is also host of the hilarious "Comedy Showcase," the late-night series that follows "Saturday Night Live."In 1995 Louie put his creative energies to work on the Saturday morning animated series "Life with Louie." The long-running series based on Louie's own childhood and his life with his father won three Humanitas Prizes for writing on a children's' animated series, making him the only three-time recipient of this award. It also earned a Genesis Award for its depiction of the proper treatment of animals and, most significantly, two Emmy Awards.His best selling books include Dear Dad - Letters From An Adult Child, a collection of alternately touching and outrageous letters from Louie to his late father, and Good-bye Jumbo...Hello Cruel World, self-help for those who struggle with self-esteem issues, as only an award-winning comedian could write it.Louie recently finished writing his newest installment on family, THE F WORD, HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FAMILY. Now, Louie is traveling the States doing what Louie loves to do, Stand Up Comedy. Louie again delivers to his fans his inimitable brand of humor and warmth.

AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 238 (April 8, 1997)
SUPERNOVA 1997bp IN NGC 4680
We have been informed by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU
Circular 6613) that P. Marples, Loganholme, Queensland, Australia, reports that
Robert O. Evans, Hazelbrook, New South Wales, Australia, visually discovered
a supernova in NGC 4680 on April 6.52 UT at magnitude approximately 13.8.
Visual confirmation was made by Marples on Apr 6.6 UT.
N. Grogin, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA, measured
the position of SN 1997bp on CCD images he obtained Apr 7.3 UT with the Whipple
Observatory 1.2-m telescope (IAU Circular 6613), and indicates that the
supernova, magnitude V = 14.2, is located 14.6" west and 20.0" south of the
center of the galaxy, whose (2000.0) position is:
R.A. = 12h 46m 55s Dec. = -11 degrees 38.3'
Spectroscopic information showing this supernova to be a Type Ia within a week
of maximum light came from the following sources (IAU Circular 6613):
- M. Phillips, Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO), Chile, who

Although Ferguson rejected the chance to sign Lampard last January after being sounded out about the possibility of taking the 34 year-old to Old Trafford, the prospect of signing him on a free transfer at the end of this season has prompted the United manager to identify the England international as a potential target to bolster his midfield options.
Ferguson, who is also planning a £16 million summer move for Borussia Dortmund forward Robert Lewandowski, has been a long-term admirer of Lampard, with his interest in the three-time Premier League winner dating back to a failed attempt to hijack Chelsea's £11 million deal with West Ham United in 2001. In 2009 he went on record with his respect for Lampard, saying: "He is an exceptional player and a huge asset to his team."
Lampard has repeatedly stressed his desire to remain at Chelsea beyond the end of this season, and he has been in impressive recent form, scoring four goals in his last five appearances to take him within nine goals of Bobby Tambling as the club's all-time leading goalscorer.
Chelsea supporters have called for the club's owner Roman Abramovich to reward Lampard's service with a new contract, but the Russian has made it clear to the player and his representatives that there will be no offer of a new contract to stay at Stamford Bridge and the player is resigned to leaving.
It is understood that the prospect of playing for United would greatly appeal to Lampard. The move was ruled out by Ferguson 12 months ago due to the costs involved of paying a fee to Chelsea and also matching Lampard's £150,000-a-week wages. The Scot had also already persuaded Paul Scholes to come out of retirement by the time the Lampard proposal was put to United.
However, Ferguson believes that Lampard will be a much more attractive proposition when he becomes available for free this summer, particularly as there are issues surrounding several of his midfielders. There are doubts over the 38-year-old Scholes's future beyond the end of this season, and concerns over the fitness of Darren Fletcher and Anderson.
Although Lampard will be 35 in June, the player's age is not regarded as an issue by Ferguson, with his recent performances for Chelsea emphasising his fitness and continuing ability to perform at the highest level.
Ferguson has shown in the past, when recruiting the likes of Laurent Blanc, Edwin van der Sar, Michael Owen and the short-term signing of Henrik Larsson, that he values experience ahead of youth when the right player becomes available.
The Scot has also spoken of his admiration of AC Milan's approach to senior players and the Italian club's readiness to invest in players in their mid-thirties due to the qualities that they can add to a squad.
United's success in prolonging the careers of Scholes and Ryan Giggs, who is expected to handed a contract that will see him play on beyond his 40th birthday later this year, also highlights their willingness to utilise players beyond the stage when rival clubs perceive them to have surpassed their usefulness. Ferguson would also expect Lampard to provide guidance for youngster Tom Cleverley, whose performances this season have made him one of the most highly-rated English talents in the top flight.
United will face competition should Ferguson pursue his interest in the player this summer, particularly from overseas, with LA Galaxy particularly keen to recruit a high-profile replacement for David Beckham. Arsenal have also been widely reported to be interested in him.
Crystal Palace's highly-rated forward, Wilfried Zaha, is also being monitored by United, although Tottenham have emerged as their biggest rival for the 20 year-old. Palace are keen to resist moves for the player this month, while Zaha is eager to resolve his future before the transfer window closes on Jan 31.
However, it is understood that Palace would be open to a permanent deal for Zaha this month should it include a clause enabling the player to remain at Selhurst Park for the remainder of the season to help with their push for promotion from the Championship. No formal offer has yet been lodged with the south London outfit.
Meanwhile, United forward Wayne Rooney is understood to have been granted compassionate leave by the club following the death of Rosie McLoughlin, the 14-year-old sister of his wife Coleen.
Rooney is currently sidelined with a knee injury and has been ruled out of Sunday's clash with Liverpool by Ferguson, but while the club have stressed that the Rooneys' loss is a private matter, all support is being offered to the player at this time.
Why United need Frank: questions looming over midfield
Paul Scholes
The 38 year-old, having returned from retirement last January, faces an uncertain future, with doubts over whether he is prepared to stay on for another season at Old Trafford.
Darren Fletcher
The Scotland captain has overcome a debilitating bowel condition to return to the first-team squad, but has so far been able to make only seven senior appearances this season.
Now in his sixth season at United, the Brazilian has been dogged by injury and is once again on the sidelines. Ferguson has shown great patience in the 24 year-old, but that is unlikely to last forever.
Tom Cleverley
At 23, Cleverley has broken into the England team, but his performances lack consistency and the experienced Lampard could be used as a mentor for the youngster while he builds his career at Old Trafford.

"Ghosts in the Machine" Public Programs July 18–September 30, 2012
"Ghosts in the Machine" will be accompanied by a series of public programs that explore the temporal and social dimensions of the relationship between art and technology. These include a conversation between artist Otto Piene and exhibition curator Massimiliano Gioni, a series of films that elaborate on the idea of "expanded cinema" and offer a counterpoint to the immersive environment of Stan VanDerBeek's Movie-Drome (1963–66/2012) on view in the exhibition, and a performance by choreographer Tony Orrico that will test the limits of the artist's body as a medium for drawing. A panel discussion at the end of September will open up the concept of "technological art" as well as invite critical reflection on the exhibition itself.
Otto Piene in conversation with Massimiliano Gioni
Wednesday July 18, 7 p.m.
Free to New Museum members, $10 General Public
An evening devoted to an intergenerational conversation about art and technology between artist Otto Piene and exhibition curator Massimiliano Gioni. Otto Piene (German, born 1928) is a leading figure in kinetic art and one of the founding members of the group ZERO, initiated in 1957. Central to Piene's art practice are connections between art, technology, and nature. In 1974, he succeeded György Kepes as the director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT where Piene established MIT as an important locus internationally for furthering the union of art and technology. Massimiliano Gioni is Associate Director and Director of Special Exhibitions at the New Museum, New York. He curated "Ghosts in the Machine," with Gary Carrion-Murayari and he is currently organizing the 55th Venice Biennale opening in summer 2013.
Get Weird: Antipop Consortium
Friday July 27, 7 p.m.
$10 New Museum members, $12 General Public
Antipop Consortium is a rap ensemble based in New York. Conceived in 1997 out of a series of daring collaborations at the "Rap Meets Poetry" sessions of the Nuyorican Poets Café, the group has developed a cerebral, visionary strain of hip hop that incorporates the fragmented rhythms of contemporary electronic music with the confrontational, interrogative stance of rap. All four members of Antipop Consortium are musical historians who draw upon the bravery and dedication of futurists like Sun Ra and Afrika Bambaataa with reverence and grace, looking to renew these projects for a 21st century dialogue.
Film Program: "Ghosts on the Screen"
Three Saturdays: August 11, August 25, September 8, 3 p.m.
$8 New Museum members, $10 General Public
Moving image technologies have transformed the visual arts in myriad ways. As movie cameras and film stock became widely accessible outside of the studio system in the 1960s, artists began to explore the potentials of narrative film in a variety of genres. On three Saturdays, we will screen films made by artists that explore the visual dimensions of narrative and the narrative dimension of form.
Saturday August 11
Since, dir. Andy Warhol, 1967 (16mm, 67 min)
Since refers to the phrase "since the assassination," i.e., the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The film reconstructs the event in Dallas with both Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson present before the assassination and then after at Johnson's swearing in. Constructed from media reports at the time and Johnson's speeches, and using an elaboration of Warhol's of split-screen technique, the film does not change the vantage point of the camera and it is not presented in continuous time, but features multiple moments and modalities of the scene that are established strictly through dialogue and character. Since has rarely been screened since its premiere in 1967 as part of Warhol's twenty-four-hour opus Four Stars (****).
Saturday August 25
Invisible Adversaries, dir. VALIE EXPORT, 1976 (112 min) German with English subtitles
Anna, an artist, is obsessed with the invasion of invisible aliens who she believes will take over the world through mind control. Her schizophrenia is reflected in the juxtapositions of long camera takes with violently edited montages that splice together private with public spaces, black-and-white film with color, still photographs with video, and earsplitting sounds with disruptive camera angles. EXPORT privileges rupture over unity in order to convey Anna's experience of her inner and outer worlds.
Presented with Alone, dir. Stephen Dwoskin, 1963 (13 min)
"Alone is a major departure into projecting feelings and senses of loneliness, timelessness, and the sensual self. The film presents moments that are passing tones in any life, yet far from registering a passive despair, protests against a traditional culture which is unable to confront such moments and passes them by as both trivial and obscene," is how Dwoskin described this film. Alone explores the onanistic potential of both the female body and the camera, and was the source and the inspiration for J.G. Ballard's collage Does the Angle Between Two Walls Have a Happy Ending? (1967).
Saturday September 8
The Deadman, dir. Peggy Ahwesh, 1989 (35 min)
Made in collaboration with Keith Sanborn, The Deadman is based on a story by Georges Bataille, charting "the adventures of a near-naked heroine who sets in motion a scabrous free-from orgy before returning to the house to die—a combination of elegance, raunchy defilement and barbaric splendor," wrote Jonathan Rosenbaum in the Chicago Reader.
The Color of Love, dir. Peggy Ahwesh, 1994 (10 min)
Ahwesh subjects an apparently found pornographic film to coloring, optical printing, and general fragmentation—the source material threatens to virtually collapse under the beautiful violence of her filmic treatment. What emerges is a portrait at once nostalgic and horrible: the degraded image locked in symbiotic relation with an image of degradation.
New Museum Presents: Pauline Oliveros with Doug Van Nort and FILTER
Friday September 7, 7p.m.
$12 New Museum members, $15 General Public
Pauline Oliveros and Doug Van Nort perform with FILTER, an artificially intuitive software agent that listens and responds to the performing musicians transforming the duo to a trio.
Pauline Oliveros is a senior figure in American avant-garde music. Her career spans fifty years of boundary dissolving music making. Oliveros is as interested in finding new sounds as in finding new uses for old ones—her primary instrument is the accordion. Her compositions and performances explore modes of making and listening to music enabled by technology. Since the 1960s she has influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual. Recently awarded the John Cage award for 2012 from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts, Oliveros is Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College.
Doug Van Nort is an experimental musician and music technology researcher whose work explores the interactive sculpting of recorded sound materials and electroacoustic improvisation, often with machine partners. His instruments are custom-built software systems with an ear towards noise, immersion and free improvisation. Van Nort performs solo and in the trio Triple Point with Pauline Oliveros and Jonas Braasch, with the Composers Inside Electronics and recently with Francisco López, Chris Chafe, Al Margolis and Judy Dunaway among many others. His music can be found on the Deep Listening, Pogus and Zeromoon labels and his writing in Organised Sound and the Leonardo Music Journal, among other channels. Van Nort holds advanced degrees in music technology, electronic arts and pure mathematics, and is currently a research associate at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where his main project is FILTER, and other related intelligent systems for improvisation
FILTER is the Freely Improvising, Learning and Transforming Evolutionary Recombination system. Following in the tradition of Pauline Oliveros' Expanded Instrument System (EIS) and Doug Van Nort's Granular-feedback Expanded Instrument System (GREIS), FILTER accepts a fellow performers' sound and re-presents this material in a transformed state over the course of a perfomance. FILTER advances this area of research by including machine listening and musical structure-learning capabilities, in order to create new musical gestures, phrases and textures based on what it has learned of its partners' style. As with any sensitive musician, FILTER can mirror its improvising partner or it can suggest new musical directions, relative to the given musical context. The development of FILTER has been supported by grants from the CreativeIT initiative of the National Science Foundation.
New Museum Presents: Tony Orrico: Penwald: 15: fourths and quarters
Saturday September 22, 3 p.m.
Free with Museum admission
7th Floor Sky Room
Tony Orrico is a visual artist, performer, and choreographer whose work merges the act of drawing with choreographic gesture and bio-geometrics. Evocative of the graphite wall drawings of Sol LeWitt, action painting, and Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man," Orrico's "Penwald Drawings" have been presented and exhibited internationally in galleries, performance venues, and public spaces. His work reflects upon the limitations and awe-inspiring possibilities of man as machine, where subtle "imperfections" in the final drawings reveal the intervention of human presence in an otherwise mathematically precise choreographic gesture.
Orrico's work is in the collection at the National Academy of Sciences and he will present a commissioned drawing at MUAC, Mexico City, in September for their permanent collection. He recently collaborated with choreographer John Jasperse on a design for Canyon, presented at BAM's Next Wave Festival. Orrico is a former member of Trisha Brown Dance Company and Shen Wei Dance Arts, and was one of a select group of artists to re-perform the work of Marina Abramović during her retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Panel Discussion: "What's Wrong with Technological Art?"
Thursday September 27
New Museum Theater
Free to New Museum members, $8 General Public
In 1969, Robert Smithson wrote to György Kepes, "Technology promises a new kind of art, yet its very program excludes the artist from his own art. The optimism of technical progress results in political despair.... If technology is to have any chance at all, it must become more self-critical. If one wants teamwork he should join the army. A panel called 'What's Wrong with Technological Art' might help." Responding to Smithson's call over forty years later, noted scholars, critics, and artists will discuss problems (and possibilities) of art and technology in response to "Ghosts in the Machine."

Bradley Wiggins' withdrawal from the race due to illness means Colombian Rigoberto Uran will assume Sky's Giro d'Italia leadership. The 26-year-old, winner of last year's young jersey classification, currently sits third overall at 2-04 minutes.
"Yeah, for sure, Rigoberto's the leader now," Sky principal, David Brailsford told journalists including Cycling Weekly.
"The team will get right behind Rigoberto and keep on racing all the way to Brescia [when the race ends – ed.]. He looks in good shape, to be honest. It'll be great to try to compete for the podium or even better."
Uran won the race's first summit finish to Altopiano del Montasio on Tuesday. His win prompted speculation that he may contend for the overall. Wiggins' 3-17-minute loss, brought on by a chest infection, paved the way for Sky's long-haired, smiling Colombian.
After Wiggins' turn for the worse in Treviso, he sat 13th at 5-22 minutes behind leader Vincenzo Nibali (Astana). On Friday morning, the team announced that Wiggins would not start stage 13 due to a chest infection.
Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) is only back 41 seconds in second place. Uran and a handful of other contenders are within two minutes' striking distance of the leader's pink jersey.
Brailsford, despite Wiggins' troubles, is grateful for a GC-strong team. In addition to Chris Froome and Richie Porte, who are focusing on the Tour de France, he has Uran ready to step up.
"We have a great position in the race and we are still in a good position in the GC," Brailsford added. "When Brad broke his collarbone in the 2011 Tour, we lost our purpose a little a bit, we had to go from GC to trying for stages. Here, however, we still feel that we are competitive in the race."
Brailsford said the team would decide tomorrow morning if Wiggins would continue. If he does, his goal could be winning the mountain time trial in Polsa next week and helping 'Rigo' win.
Wiggins said after the Montasio stage on Tuesday that Uran can be inconsistent.
"You know, there's a time trial," Wiggins explained. "He's quite inconsistent like that, he can have a really good day, win a stage like today and then lose a few seconds tomorrow. We'll have to see how he feels."

Jake had this picture of the girls printed off. Staples will do a blueprint size for only $3!
We did a dessert bar with double chocolate cake, angel food cake & pound cake. Cakes could be topped with whipped cream, blueberries, strawberries, chocolate sauce & sprinkles.
We had a small gift for all our little friends who came to celebrate with us.
The gift included: a note pad, stickers, crayons & smarties.
I am loving having this chalkboard to change out for different occasions.
The birthday girls all ready for their party.
The party was a drop in from 3-5 pm on Saturday. I got my camera out to take pictures of the kids playing & doing bubbles in the backyard. I took one picture, set the camera on the grill & then totally forgot about it. Ugh...I wanted a picture of all the kids & our sweet friends who came to celebrate.
Auntie Em was able to come up for the party. She was a HUGE help. She washed & cut all the berries for the party - thank you, Emily!

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co JPM.N has reached a tentative $4 billion deal with the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency to settle claims that the bank misled government-sponsored mortgage agencies about the quality of mortgages it sold them during the housing boom, according to a person familiar with the matter.
JPMorgan and the FHFA, which is pursuing claims on behalf of finance agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, have agreed on the amount as a tentative part of a potential $11 billion global settlement with government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice.
The $4 billion figure was first reported on Friday by the Wall Street Journal.
A spokesman for JPMorgan declined to comment as did a spokeswoman for the FHFA.
The bank and the Department of Justice have discussed a broader deal under which JPMorgan would pay $7 billion of cash and $4 billion of consumer relief, to cover claims from the FHFA and other government agencies.
JPMorgan is seeking a single settlement to resolve all claims from federal and state agencies over its mortgage-related liabilities stemming from the bust in house prices.
Baring a complete breakdown in talks with the Department of Justice, a final deal between the bank and the FHFA is unlikely to happen outside of a broader pact, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
Earlier this week, others familiar with the talks said negotiations continued between the Justice Department and JPMorgan, with the bank circulating several proposals.
The FHFA has sued JPMorgan over mortgage loans totaling some $33 billion. A $4 billion deal would amount to about 12 cents on the dollar, less than the 20-cent rate under an earlier settlement by Switzerland-based bank UBS AG UBSN.VX, said Josh Rosner, managing director of Graham Fisher & Co, a New York research consultancy.
At first glance, the tentative settlement looks like "a great deal for JPMorgan," Rosner said. He cautioned that it is unclear how comparable the deals are because the loans at issue have different origins and differences between the balances owed are not known.
CEO Jamie Dimon went to Washington to meet with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on September 26 to advance those discussions, but a deal has not been forthcoming.
Though Dimon is intent on getting the legal issues behind the bank, a sore spot with him and other JPMorgan directors has been how much the company will have to pay for bad mortgage deals done by Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns, two troubled institutions that JPMorgan took over during the financial crisis with the encouragement from bank regulators.
JPMorgan reported its first quarterly loss under Dimon on Friday as the company recorded a $7.2 billion hit from litigation expenses largely to build its reserves to settle lawsuits over mortgages. The bank said all of its legal reserves now amount to $23 billion.

My Day of Archaeology, is, as it was last year, meta. I am one of the founders of the Day of Archaeology project, and I have spent my day (mostly) online, editing and posting articles and Tweeting about the project. This is pretty much as good as my Day of Archaeology is going to get. The loosest relationship my day had to field archaeology was when I went to see my back specialist this morning about a back injury I exacerbated last year when I was digging in Poland – I went a bit mental with the de-turfing and hurt my back so badly I had to return to the UK and missed out on working on the most amazing 14th C. Baltic site.
A pal on Twitter said to me yesterday that I was mud-avoidant. I will be the first to admit that what I do for my PhD isn't exactly archaeology. I am a PhD student at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities, and my research is 'Public Archaeology in a Digital Age'. So I'm looking at how, where and why archaeology and the public meet online and how archaeology as a sector creates, sustains and uses online community. There are a few things that keep me awake at night about my research, mainly because it's just so damn fascinating. At the moment, I am researching the concept of archaeological authority and knowledge-ownership – I think that changes to the landscape of communication in archaeology are simply a technologically-facilitated continuation of longer-term developments within the sector as a whole (get me). But how far has the growth of participatory media impacted the archaeological sector in the UK? How have these media facilitated collaboration between professional and layperson? Has the encouragement of audience participation gone any way towards supporting any real acknowledgement of multi-vocal approaches to heritage issues? What evidence exists that social media dialogue is about sharing archaeological authority at all, in an online context? Which part these 'non-professional' digital voices will be considered inauthentic, and why? So many questions…
I do a lot of research through surveys, and talking to people, but a lot of my work is also observation. How people interact, what is said, how it is said, where it's said.. so today has been interesting! I absolutely love my PhD topic and feel hugely privileged to be funded to undertake it. I get to read lots of sociology, which is my new Best Thing, and I have learned so much by being part of the Centre for Digital Humanities, and the interdisciplinarity there. It has been the most interesting 2 years of my life ever (and I've had some interesting years, believe me).. I just hope someone will employ me at the end of all this, the big worry for every PhD student.
I have recently moved back home to East Anglia, mainly because it's cheap, but mostly for some peace and quiet. The flat, open landscape here created the archaeologist inside me (she really ought to get out more, poor girl). The wealth of wool churches, the Norman castles, the shadows of Norse in the dialect, and the Scandinavian street names led me to study medieval archaeology 21 years ago, and although I am all about archaeology and communication, AD 400 – 900 is my secret passion. But if anyone asks, I'm strictly social media & comms, right? Right?
For us Public Archaeologists, understanding how we meet, discuss and inform the public and understanding the technologies we can use to do this is, I think, vital. I just hope that my research outcomes will play a small part in having an impact on how archaeology exploits Internet technologies. Part of this understanding is the development of the Day of Archaeology itself. I am overwhelmed by the support we have been offered by archaeologists worldwide, for free, for the love of archaeology, because we believe it matters, not just for ourselves but everyone. That we have managed all this through the power of the Internet is witness to the increasing importance of Public Archaeology at a time when archaeology is being given the death of a thousand cuts. Without public support, we will wither.
Better get writing then, eh?

I'm a newbie and I've struggled for some time to get to where I've almost have an automatic restore script.
Here's my script that I'm using with an IFL bootable USB stick:
sub main()
exec("/tbu/imagel --r --d:l0 --f:l1@0x1:^"/image/image^"", 1)
end sub
Now, when I boot off my Custom created Bootable USB stick I get a warning "Are you sure you want to continue (Y/N)"
I click YES and all is good, the image deploys and I'm good to go but is there a way to have the script answer the prompt?
Also, is there a way when it's finished to display a prompt like "Image deployment completed, please remove the stick and hit enter to reboot"?
