Lessons in regionalism: What can the WTO teach the IMF?
Kati Suominen, 3 November 2010
The epicentre of financial regionalism is Asia. Emerging East Asian economies, scarred by the IMF's policy conditionalities during the 1997-98 regional financial crisis, are busily building national reserves and regional financial arrangements so as to wean themselves off the Fund's influence.

A currency war the US cannot win
Yiping Huang, 19 October 2010

Debating the global roots of the current crisis
Brad Setser, 28 January 2009
There is a broad consensus that regulatory weaknesses, distorted incentives and excessive leverage in the US (and European) financial sector contributed to the current, severe global financial crisis. The investment banks themselves presumably no longer think that doubling their leverage from 2004 to 2007 was a good idea. The Western financial sector made two big bets.

Is It Really Over?
We had a very busy summer. Full of laughter, swimming, cook outs, gardening, travel, and a wee bit of drama.
Way more living than can be crammed into one little blog post.
Instead, we'll hit the high points. 9 of them to be exact...
1. In May we went back to Vanderbilt for a little check up. They were pleased with Olivia's response to the current treatment plan. (If you're not familiar with Olivia's condition, here is a good place to start.) Olivia had to bring her favorite companion 'Penny' along for the trip. We got Penny from Crystal of Little Bit Funky, and we love her!
2. Also in May our whole yard and the downstairs of our new home flooded. Thankfully we caught it early and there was minimal damage, and only a massive headache.
3. Our girl attended her first vacation bible school in June. (And subsequently her second and third, she's addicted!) It was such a blessing to watch her learn and grow in Christ. That little girl loves her some Jesus!
4. I gave blood for the first time in a few years, and Olivia and I had a 'momma day' as she calls it. We had a blast. Being a full-time working mother days like that are a rare luxury. I'm incredibly grateful for those moments.
5. I work with a girl whose family owns a dairy farm. She invited Olivia to visit. Olivia had an amazing time, and still talks about it often. She was fearless! I thought for sure she would be intimidated by the cows, but she got right in the pin with them and even got to feed a 3 day old calf. She may have a future in farming.
6. Some of you may know I have worked in sales for the same company for the better part of 8 years. This summer I was given the opportunity to participate in an advanced training program to prepare me for promotion. Very exciting stuff.
7. In July I got a phone call that shook me to my core. My precious Gran had had a stroke. I traveled 5 hours down Highway 45 to Tupelo, MS to be by her side. Not knowing what I would see when I got there. By God's sweet grace the stroke was minor and her recovery was "unexplainable." She was discharged 24 hours after being admitted. A true miracle and the answer to many prayers.
8. We spent the 4th of July with family and friends, celebrating our freedom and giving thanks for all those who have sacrificed to provide us with that freedom. We went to church that evening, to watch the annual firework show. Within 5 minutes of our arrival Olivia tripped and did a complete face-plant on the pavement. Resulting in quite the shiner.
9. Olivia caught her first fish this summer also. We were at my brother and sister-in-law's pond and her Uncle Cody helped to reel it in. She was so proud, but refused to touch it. I totally understand sweet girl, those things are slimy!

Prices for gasoline are hitting record highs in France, where a gallon now costs more than $8 in some areas. That's the word from Eleanor Beardsley, who filed a report for our Newscast unit:
"Prices are up because of problems with two of France's main oil suppliers. Nigeria is racked by civil unrest, and European Union sanctions bar France from importing oil from Iran." "A lower euro has also raised the price of gasoline because crude oil prices are denominated in dollars."

A recent study finds that a drug approved by the FDA to treat skin cancer in humans has reversed signs of Alzheimer's in mice and improvements showed up quickly. Neuroscientist Gary Landreth, one of the co-authors of the study, described that on TALK OF THE NATION: SCIENCE FRIDAY last week.
This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan, in Washington. Last Friday, President Obama came up a compromise: Catholic and other religious institutions would not have to provide contraception coverage for their employees directly, but the wider goal of women's health would be met because their insurance companies would have to do it.
If you believe the Uzbek government, today is not a day for love and friendship. Nope.
It is a day to celebrate the Moghul emperor Babur, who celebrates his birthday on Feb. 14. Now this hasn't always been case in the Central Asian country. The BBC reports that in years past, lovers celebrated Valentine's Day by listening to the songs of Rayhan, "a popular singer whose music mixes Eastern melodies with Western pop."
When your products sell for more than $80 million, selling one of them is a big deal. Selling hundreds of them in one deal means they're probably feeling pretty good over at Boeing right now. The aircraft company has finalized a deal to sell 230 jets to Lion Air of Indonesia, with a total list price of $22.4 billion — a record for Chicago-based Boeing.
The deal, which was first announced in November during President Obama's multi-country tour of Asia, includes 201 737 MAX jets and 29 of Boeing's extended range 737-900ERs.

Four years after Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Tim Weiner published Legacy of Ashes, his detailed history of the CIA, he received a call from a lawyer in Washington, D.C.
"He said, 'I've just gotten my hands on a Freedom of Information Act request that's 26 years old for [FBI Director] J. Edgar Hoover's intelligence files. Would you like them?' " Weiner tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "And after a stunned silence, I said, 'Yes, yes.' "
Republicans rarely meet a tax cut that they don't like. Now that they have found one, they are finding it politically impossible to stop it.
On Tuesday, President Obama called on Congress to extend a 2 percentage point reduction in payroll taxes, which fund Social Security. The cut, enacted last year, is otherwise set to expire at the end of the month.
The current cut means a savings of about $20 a week to a worker who earns $50,000 a year and about $2,000 a year to someone making $100,000.
Some people fill their workshops with sawdust and power tools; Ben Rasmussen built a chocolate factory in his.
Actually, "factory" might be too big a word for the Woodbridge, Va. operation, which Rasmussen says is "absurdly small." But it's a step up from his kitchen, where his Potomac Chocolate – one of the smallest chocolate companies in the U.S. – was born.
Women planning to have a baby at home will probably be helped by a midwife.
Doctors only deliver about 5 percent of babies born outside the hospital, according to figures released last month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Depending on where you live, though, finding a licensed midwife can be tough.

The lines between search marketing and online media have been blurring for some time. This is especially true with the Google AdSense network. It's basically a huge ad network where content sites run ads for Google.
In a Google search program, this is also known as content targeting. Even though you manage these ads through the Google interface and they're often targeted by keywords that don't show up in search listings, they show up in Web sites, just like online media.
A debate recently popped up in our agency about whether Google content ads, banners, and click-to-play videos managed by our search term could also be managed by our online media campaign managers as part of a media buy.
Online media campaign managers should be able to manage these ads too, because -- to reiterate -- ads running in the Google content network aren't in search results. The ads are on regular Web sites and can be targeted on a site-by-site basis.
Just in case any of you get asked to do this, I asked Amy Clarkson, one of my agency's search specialists, to document some strategies for making best use of content targeting in Google. Here they are:
Run a Separate Campaign for Content
Bid on Your Best Performing Terms, Not All of Them
Consider Using Placement Targeting
Placement targeting for your content campaign is where an advertiser can pick and choose relevant sites for their ads to appear on the content network.
Generate a Placement Performance Report
A Google placement performance report for your content campaign enables you to search through the content sites in which your ads appear. If the site isn't relevant, costs too much, or doesn't convert -- don't use it.
Sort Keywords Into Closely Related Ad Groups
Google content looks at all (or many) of the keywords in an ad group in order to determine the general theme.
Online media planners shouldn't overlook Google as a possible network. It's so much more then search! And to Amy, thanks for the great advice!

Now that people have seen their taxes have gone up (regardless of promises made, they went up) can we start talking about real tax reform?
I don't know about you but I'm tired of Washington and indeed the state having its hands in my pocket before I even get to see my paycheck.
What if we had to pay taxes every time we got paid out of our own pocket? How quickly do you think people would get mad and demand change?
Withholding is by design to "take the pain away" because if we had to do it ourselves, we'd not let it stand. So why do we let it stand now?
Any "real" resolution to our problems will put power in the hands of the people when it comes to their tax bill. Anything that lets the income tax remain and leaves the tyrannical IRS intact is nothing short of pointless.
The Fair Tax is the only plan which puts power squarely back in the hands of the people, fully funds all the programs that so badly need fixing yet allows the economy to grow and puts more money back in the pockets of every day Americans who so desperately need it. What are you waiting for America? Please speak up, make your voices heard and demand a real solution, not more politics.

The timing is convenient for both sides: The Obama administration needed an offset abroad to the Obamacare disaster, and the Iranians want a breathing space to rebuild their finances and ensure that Assad can salvage the Iranian-Hezbollah-Assad axis.

If such an idea gains momentum, Congress's only option will to be to act on our behalf, but we have to start the ball rolling first and the following are proven strategies:
1 - We have enough pro-Zionist Jewish and Christian organizations to unleash an army of millions to call Congress to demand that immediate military action against Iran be taken.

Just curious...
Hey Bill,
Great to hear from you brother! He's been studying Kenpo with me for a little over 5 1/2 years. Prior to that he studied tae kwon do and ju jitsu and is a great natural athelete. I think you may have met him at the IKCA seminar last summer in Vegas. He was a brown belt but GM LeRoux allowed him to work out in the black belt seminar classes after working with him when Vic visited Vegas scouting for a semiar location. Our school teaches the 24 tech. American Kenpo system, in addition to the IKCA curriculum. My first black belt was in American Kenpo and many years later I earned rank with the IKCA as well, so I exposed this kid to both systems, although he did Am. Kenpo for about 3 years before learning IKCA techniques. He has additionally learned the IKCA system and will be submitting a seperate test for rank with them under their testing requirements, which as you know, are dictated by their by-laws and require a separate test format. This particular test is only for rank through our school. Good luck with the Kenpo in the Carolinas 2008. Wish I could make it. Is the IKCA planning anything for next summer on the West Coast to your knowledge? If so, maybe Jeff and I will see you there. We missed this year's event because we both had to work. If I lost my day job, I wouldn't be able to afford to keep the school open. LOL. Funny how a lot of us have to work 40 to 50 hours a week doing something else we don't like doing, so we can spend another 4 to 5 hours a day doing kenpo, something we love doing. I wish I could reverse it!! YBIK John K.

Hakim slams Howrah infrastructure
August 13, 2013
HOWRAH: At a time when the state secretariat is set to be shifted to Howrah's Mandirtala, minister Firhad Hakim on Monday slammed the infrastructure in Kolkata's twin city. "Howrah will soon become the nerve centre for statewide development with the secretariat moving there. But a defunct and non-functional Howrah Municipal Corporation (HMC) is a major headache. Over the last two years, I visited Howrah several times and went around places like the Padmapukur Waterworks with minister and Howrah Trinamool leader Arup Ray. The state has been giving HMC all the assistance it could but there has been no effort by the CPM-led civic board to keep roads clean and repair them, supply residents treated drinking water or set right the defunct drainage system in the town," Hakim said.
Electrician falls from secretariat terrace, dies
August 12, 2013
JAIPUR: A 56-year-old electrician who was putting decorative lights on a portion of the secretariat for Independence Day celebrations was killed after he fell down from the roof on Sunday afternoon. According to the police, the deceased identified as SohaLalSaini (56) was putting lights on the roof of the KhadyaBhawan of the secretariat when he slipped and fell down on the ground. "He was on the terrace of the second floor when during the torrential rain he fell down.
Stadium next to secretariat?
August 12, 2013
KOLKATA: If the recently elected MP from Howrah North is to be believed, the district will not only get the new secretariat but also an international stadium and that, too, on the same ground. According to MP PrasunBanerjee , both the secretariat and the stadium can be housed in the 56-acre plot in Dumurjala . "Many famous footballers have emerged from Howrah which now has talented players who need proper training. That the chief minister has decided to shift the secretariat to Dumurjala is very good news, but I believe it won't hamper the process of building the stadium," said Banerjee.
Solar scam: Left protesters lay siege to Kerala secretariat
August 12, 2013
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Thousands of Left protesters on Monday blocked three of the four gates of the state secretariat to press for chief minister Oomen Chandy's resignation. The state secretariat is the seat of the Kerala government and the Left opposition has announced that starting Monday, no one will be allowed to enter until Chandy resigns for the solar scam. The Left's much publicised blocking of all the four gates did not happen. Three of the gates were blocked, but through the fourth gate chief minister Oommen Chandy and his cabinet colleagues arrived around 7am to take part in an emergency cabinet meeting.
LDF blockade begins today, comrades ready for combat
August 12, 2013
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Two months after the solar scam broke, providing the opposition with much-needed ammunition to target the Oommen Chandy government, the Left Democratic Front has decided to go for the kill. Since Saturday afternoon, thousands of LDF cadres have been pouring into the city as part of the front's call for an indefinite blockade of the state secretariat beginning today. Around 75,000 LDF cadres from across the state are expected to take part in the initial part of the agitation which involves blocking all four gates of the secretariat with just one demand -- 'Chandy must go'. The LDF has decided to officially start the siege at 8am at all four gates and the agitation will be inaugurated by CPM general secretary Prakash Karat at North Gate at 10am.
Govt's show of force to deter LDF
August 11, 2013
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With the UDF government stopping just short of imposing prohibitory orders, but determined to use overwhelming force to deal with the LDF's indefinite blockade of the secretariat starting Monday morning, the capital resembled a city under siege. Two companies of paramilitary forces arrived here on Saturday and six more are likely to join them on Sunday. A high-level meeting convened by the chief minister on Saturday evening decided to entrust the security of the secretariat to CRPF.
No use of force if siege is peaceful: Chief minister Oommen Chandy
August 11, 2013
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : Chief minister OommenChandy on Sunday extended an offer of talks to the CPM , only to be turned down. Speaking to reporters, the chief minister said the government would not use any force if the siege is peaceful. However, a democratically elected government could not support any move to stall the administrative functions of a secretariat. The government would not allow the protestors to block the entry of ministers, employees and people into the secretariat, he said.
Executive magistrates to call shots
August 11, 2013
K P Sai Kiran , TNN
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : The district administration has deployed 20 executive magistrates in the district to deal with the indefinite secretariat siege of the LDF . The executive magistrates would not only keep stock of the situation round the clock, but would also decide whether or not to use force depending on the situation. Ten executive magistrates have been deployed at sensitive spots in the city. The remaining executive magistrates are stationed at other major points in the district.
New secretariat project plan on CM's table today
August 10, 2013
HOWRAH: The vast green stretch of Dumurjala has been bustling with activity ever since chief minister Mamata Banerjee visited the area on Wednesday. For the past two days, engineers of Howrah Improvement Trust (HIT) have been visiting the grounds to identify the stretch on which the new administrative buildings can come up. The engineers will meet chief minister Mamata Banerjee at Writers' Buildings on Saturday with a prelimnary status report on the Dumurjala grounds. The quiet vast greens of Dumurjala is suddenly buzzing with activity.
JU, Besu architects pitch for a 'spacious' secretariat
August 9, 2013
Jhimli Mukherjee Pandey , TNN
KOLKATA: For the past 15 days, faculty members and students of Bengal Engineering and Science University ( Besu ) and Jadavpur University have been surveying the grand old Writers' Buildings, studying every bit of its architectural details, demarcating the old and the new areas and identifying portions that have been weakened due to seepage. They just have another month to submit proposals on how to restore and remodel the building. The study is being jointly conducted by the two prestigious institutions of the state.

Cold, wild night here but I dragged myself out for an interval session. There's something very satisfying about running hard into a gale force wind , straight from the arctic! The forecast for Sunday 's 10 mile race is for wind and snow. I may have to consider wearing long trousers for the first time this year.
Welcome Cudo. This is the best place to be.
The 'Sub 4 or Yer_Maj will Kill You' group is going to interesting!
You can say that again Orbutt.
TD - London's loss is our gain.
Well done on all the PBs, and to Emmy for her amazing double. Good luck with the selection process KS.
Aaron - +1 for Brooks Adrenaline. Like Orbutt, I have had no problems in 7 years and am scared to change them!
Training starts next week after Sunday's 10 mile race.
Well done on your PB Kirsten. Sub 50 isn't far away.
12K at HM pace for me. A bit breezy but a nice temperature for running.

"Brainstew" is the tenth track and the third single from the band's fourth studio album Insomniac. Actually, the single that was released is combined with another song "Jaded" as they flow continuously from one track to other on the album. The lyrics were written by Billie Joe Armstrong. Speaking in terms of record sales, this album didn't fare as well as its predecessor Dookie, but this single did pretty well. It reached #3 on the US modern Rock Tracks and #35 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Billie has previously stated that the song deals with not getting any sleep and since he had a baby around the time of the song's release, this was something he knew about really well. I do agree that it is about insomnia, but lines like "A crooked spine/My senses dull/Crossed the point of delirium" can be referencing drugs as well. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the true or second meaning of the song as Billie has had some past experience with drugs, but whether you're strung out on drugs or just can't get any sleep, the song is pretty relatable.
This track represents the whole album pretty well. It's a darker themed track for the band with references to insomnia and even gruesome visual lyrics, such as "My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed/dried out and bulging out my skull." Though the riff is fairly simple, it's the brutal, aggressive sound of it that really gives the song its edge. There's also a constant build up throughout where the music grows more and more chaotic as the song goes on kind of like it's trying to show what your mind goes through on a sleepless night.
This is one of my all time favorite Green Day songs. When I first heard it, I instantly fell in love with the riff. This is one of the songs that made me grab a guitar and try to learn it for myself. On those rare occasions when I do play guitar I always go for this song first. I also love all the visual details we get from the lyrics, even if they are a bit brutal. When Billie sings "My mouth is dry, my face is numb/fucked up and spun out in my room" I can actually see and feel what's going on and that's what makes it so much fun. Also, even though it's one of their slower paced songs, especially when compared to "Jaded," it gets you pumped up, especially during the musical outro when everything comes together in this mass of sound. One of the best moments of my life was when I finally heard it live at the Chicago concert. Sure, Billie messed up a few of the lyrics, but that just made the performance more memorable for me. Besides, he recovered from it pretty well.
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own... here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own... here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense's dulled
Passed the point of delirium
On my own... here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own... here we go
This live performance comes from Bullet in a Bible, which is still one of my favorite all time live DVDs

Great sunday morning with a fantastic guide and wonderful gospel song !
We all thoroughly enjoyed this tour (2 adults, 2 children). Arrived late due to church services starting at 10 am rather than 11 am during the summer. Surely the tour company could have arranged an earlier pick up? Additionally, long queues in office to pick up tickets on Sunday morning was a bind. However, tour guide was excellent with running commentary on bus tour to Harlem. Service was amazing. Awesome gospel choir in very atmospheric local church. Congregation was inspirational and greeting of visitors very humbling. We would have all liked to stay longer and is a memory we will keep for a long time. The brunch at the Cotton Club was also fantastic (apart from the high cost of soft drinks). Food was great and plentiful although the highlight was the entertainment. The resident gospel band and very talented singer was joined on stage by Sister Sledge who were lunching at the club. I will never forget the version of "We are family"!. Kids also went up on stage for Happy Days. If I ever return to New York I would most definitely take this tour again and would recommend to all. My wife who was not totally keen to go on this tour confirmed it as the highlight of our 5 day visit to New York!
Great Guide. Infromative! Well done!

סיור מעניין עם מדריך חביב. שירת הגוספל בכנסייה מדהים!!
Real good! Harlem spirtual proved very professional and flexible: we had booked a tour in English while our kids speak English. After one short call they kindly adapted and the french speaking guide we had was both knowledgeable and enthousiatic. A real 'must do'!
die Informationen des Führers im Bus waren sehr informativ, die Tour als ganzes nur zu empfehlen, Messe mit den Gospel Singers - keine Showveranstaltung - hautnahes Erleben mit den Einheimischen, anschließendes Essen perfekt mit Live-Jazzmusik .
What a great experience
Raquel R
An excellent experience! The lunch at the Cotton club was just fantastic, both the entertainment and the food. However a glass of wine and a beer was extremely overpriced.
excellent. i have been to ny 5 times always with your company for tours and this gospel one was the best ever. Our guide Ronnie was superb and we thank him and you for your effort.
This was an amazing tour, the guide was well infromed and gave us a real insight into Harlem. The gospel service needs to be seen to be believed I highly recommend that you include this in your time in NYC
If you want something different from the norm this is the trip for you! Sheila the tour guide is excellent, very knowledgeable and funny. The history is given as the bus travels along the westside of central park into Harlem with a couple of stops to get out and walk. You are made very welcome at the church and can sit and watch or join in as you wish. It's uplifting and even emotional. Do go if you get the chance you won't regret it!
Fabulous! Our tourguide Robert was so interesting and entertainment. A fascinating tour of Harlem and then you join in with the church service and listen to the Gospel choir. A very positive, uplifting, friendly, happy welcoming experience. Strongly recommended.
Fantastic Tour, brilliant tour guide. Thank you. Highly recommended.
This was an excellent tour, very well commentated, I learnt such a lot not just about Harlem but NY in general. The gospel singing at the church was fabulous of course., and as visitors to the church we were welcomed for that section of the service.

Re: Planning? We've heard of it...
>Simple truth is that pre-Windows GUI (and now Web UI) these systems ran on simple Green Screen Dumb terminals (remember them?) they were more efficient, the staff were more efficient and the maintenance of these systems was simpler, more effective and less costly. Whats more they do exactly the same thing today as 20 years ago - nothing has changed except the increased effort to achieve it.
You may have a point in some cases but not in general. Worker productivity the past few decades has went up across the board like no other time in history and much of this is due to software interacting more efficiently with people. For example, the GUI would never have become so ubiquitous if it was not useful to the layman. In fact computers didn't really take off with the layman until the GUI came around. There are lessons to be learned from the past but the paradigm of hardware being much more valuable than development time as was the norm then doesn't translate well today.

Wow the Edsel is the gift that keeps on giving many decades later (to Euro readers who probably know but Edsel was arguable the worst lemon car Detroit ever put out which is saying something). Yet another reason you should never name a product after a family member. If you lay a turd people will be laughing at their name generations later.

Re: Not pleasant reading for Redmond
>but lock in on the back end is where they grab you by the balls.
Also should say being locked into their technology for software development is also asking for trouble. Microsoft is keen to orphan technology and even whole markets whenever it suits them. Not to mention when you play in their sandbox if you do get too successful you may well be competing directly against them and they don't play nice.
Re: Not pleasant reading for Redmond
>As said - JAVA Developer. I do not care what OS it is as long as Eclipse, Netbeans and the other Java stuff works.
Well you or more likely someone above you made a somewhat wise decision to use a somewhat cross platform toolset (write once run everywhere hahahah) to get their business done. In your specific use case yes windows on the desktop may make sense (although those tools will run on RHEL just as well) and as you say the licensing fees are minor. If however some rabid Microsoft lover manager type above had decided to bet the business on Silverlight the situation might be different. Microsoft is an ok option option as long as you say, the OS doesn't matter. Once you bet your business all in on their ecosystem though things change. They aren't the worst vendor to be locked into (cough Oracle) but vendor lock in in general is so 80s and 90s and generally is not a good idea. Granted most companies have some lock in especially on the desktop but lock in on the back end is where they grab you by the balls. That is why proprietary Unix on non x86 is dying on its ass. Even management has wised up.
Re: Not pleasant reading for Redmond
Yep no business would ever rely on Linux in the enterprise except for the majority of the Fortune 500. Linux after all doesn't scale. What's that you say Google? Quick look over there. FUD FUD compare other options to sworn enemies of the west, etc.
Calm down Beavis
Wow mmeier is the anti Eadon. Honestly though if you really want to advocate for Microsoft then try being a bit more subtle with a bit less spittle. It will get you a lot further.
Re: Not pleasant reading for Redmond
Nothing Enterprise loves more than vendor lock in. Someday soon Microsoft will be no better than Oracle. When the new sales start to stagnate the quickest first step to keep up that growth Wall St. loves is jacking up enterprise licensing fees. Microsoft has already started.

He had a lot more charisma than the Cucumber. Won't say he was the greatest actor ever but I am sure he would be a hell of lot more fun to have a beer with. Besides its not like the original casting was all that great either. William Shatner is the definition of overacting.
Re: Helmholtz Coils ?
Well there is Mechanicsville VA but being near the pithole that is Richmond the only terror is urban crime.
Re: Seems ok
>you will kiss goodbye to all commercial drug development for a start.
Wow somebody has bought into big Pharma's propaganda. You do know many many "commercial" drugs are developed at those liberal factory public universities right? Big pharma spends more on advertising than they do research and development. Big pharma big value add is distribution, advertising and bribing the right people to get drugs approved. Much of their pipeline is buying up small startups that look promising (many of which have roots out of the public sector). Yes I understand patents are important for pharma (if for no other reason for the universities to be able to get some of that money based on their research). Software patents are still immoral. Software is nothing but applied math.
Re: Haven't seen it, so could someone tell me....
>the original Mexican guy was?
Wow I guess Europeans get the prior mystique of Ricardo Montalbán even less than Americans get Benedict Cumberbatch (so overrated). I suppose Fantasy Island didn't make it over there. Ricardo had to be the inspiration for the Dos Equis most interesting man in the world commercials. The dude had a six pack in his seventies. Honestly Cumberbatch pretty much ruined Khan the best Star Trek bad guy. They could have done so much better on the casting. Ricardo could act circles around Cumberbatch but then so could Britney Spears.
Re: Sadly...
>I borrowed from a company like Wonga
It all comes down to the local laws. The governments in the UK probably aren't as bad about encouraging friends of the politicians to be allowed to get %4500 yearly interest off the poor like some of the pay day loan scams in parts of the US. Then again there are few developed countries in the world more openly hostile towards their poor than the US.

What a load of bollocks. Its obvious the poor in America serve as warning to the middle class to keep their mouth shut.

Yep Microsoft never got big because of marketing. They got big because IBM was even more anti consumer.

Keep spouting your ideology. Because of course the US plans of only domestically manufacturing financial derivatives and having Asia produce everything else have done wonders for our soft power in the world. Great for the yacht owners who could give a crap about nations but few others.
Lets all take a moment to congratulate Microsoft for finally achieving a market share that doesn't round down to zero. Two percent you better watch your back buddy.

Re: @Robert Long 1
>I don't know if it's actually true, or if they were a Kiwi however.
Worsley navigation skills are the stuff of legend. Maybe I was being bombastic some but as mentioned to travel 800 miles in the worst storms imaginable in a darn near dingy and only being able to take 4 very shaky sextant readings and hitting the island almost exactly where you want is beyond amazing. Take a good look at South Georgia on a map and see what happens if he misses that island at all. They actually ran out of fresh water just as they landed so any delay could have been fatal to the whole party. As for Shackleton's leadership under fire yes it also was incredible. It almost made up for him being such a bad drunk who didn't always prepare the best possible.
Re: "Not a single human being living in poverty
Yep when even the pope sees the truth on trickle down your leg economics the man behind the curtain has been revealed.
Re: ..I don't need to apply..
>Shackleton also managed to get his men back alive
Only because he happened to bring along the greatest dead reckoning navigator in the history of human kind (of course the dude was a Kiwi).
The world's highest tech ink seller might make a note of losing your business in their next filing with the SEC but probably not.
Re: cut scenes
Not saying it was a good game just it had cut scenes a full decade before Tomb Raider came out.
evil Chinese government
It is disgusting how the Chinese government censors the internet and monitors the actions of its people online. I am so glad Western governments would never do this. There before some fellow countryman comes on and starts ripping on the dirty Commies getting the Merkin bashing going I thought I would be proactive.
cut scenes
I would consider Dragon's Lair (1983) to be the first game with cut scenes. In fact the game was almost all cut scenes with a tiny bit of action mixed in.
Re: JFK
> they would rather it be some cover up involving a well-oiled secret scary conspiracy then a couple of nutters
Keep thinking 9/11 was only caused by a few nutters and not a whole lot Saudi and other Muslim money and perhaps even some state actor collaboration (Pakistani ISI comes to mind). I don't believe the US government or Israel were behind 9/11 but I am not naive enough to believe it was just a few cave dweller goat farmers who got lucky either.
Re: I second that motion
Yeah but at this point we have to trust inept BB management to have not laid off the good engineering talent. Considering how middle management in any company prefers the own horn tooters and butt kissers to the good people good luck with that.
Re: total meh
>They will both outsell the last gen
You would think eventually what with the world population still growing.
>Given that we're all supposed to be totally broke its impressive that anyone is selling anything.
Count yourself lucky if layoffs are a distant/nonexistent memory for you. Of course they are both going to have a small group of hard core folks that buy their day one stuff but it is the rest of the people that are needed for ROI. They will come around of course (they always do) but my guess is it won't be in the next year.
I am looking at close to a year before I decide which system to upgrade to. Making sure the kids are fed comes first of course and there is no use upgrading until I get at least a 1080p TV (been making due with 1080i except for my projector which I don't like for gaming). Plus as long as I can still get the games I want on the PS3 the case to upgrade right away is not strong. It will be some time until game devs are willing to forgo totally a 150 million PS3/Xbox 360 user base. My guess is this generation sales will be heavily back loaded (ie first two years sales will be fairly modest).
even smart criminals are stupid
Arrogance is usually the downfall of any semi successful criminal (lol and many who aren't). They start getting away with it for some time and making big bank and they get lazy, drop their guard and just assume they will never get caught because they are too smart. Kind of like politicians. Neither usually knows when to walk away while they are ahead.
Re: ooooouch
>Once Intel is the only ARM vendor in town, they hike up the price of all their ARM devices. Eventually Intel buys ARM. Game over.
Few problems with your theory. Texas Instruments has been making ICs longer than Intel. They know much better than Intel how to compete on the low end high volume thin margin range as well as some of their competitors. Intel's big advantage has always been being a generation ahead in fab technology which is great for the latest greatest but not such an advantage cost wise for high volume stuff (have to make up R&D costs after all). As for Intel buying ARM. Antitrust authorities would have a say on that.
can't resist
Its bad enough living in the dreary UK in the first place but to live near an industrial park with a phallic shaped subdivision is just plain bad karma.
Re: Who to truly believe
Marino don't you have a CNN article to troll or something? Yes science is all a myth. After all its just a coincidence that for the last 60 years unlike the 100,000+ years before that half of our children no longer die before the age of 5.
They are counting on the current gridlock and disfunction in Congress to cause this bill to go nowhere but they can still say see we tried but it failed. Maybe in another decade.
Re: I would bet serious money
Yeah because of course the US is the only country that would ever favor their native companies. The EU wrote the book on how you do that.
f__k lawyers
>The tens of billions of dollars spent on settlements and litigation expenses associated with abusive patent suits represent truly wasted capital
Not for the lawyers who also happen to write the laws (majority of lawmakers anyway). Want to know why things are the the way they are, two words, billable hours. How does one profession put a tax on every other profession you ask? Be the profession in charge of the law of the land.
Re: Volcanos?
>Teutonic activity? Not the Germans *again*...
El Reg hasn't ran any stories about teutonic antics lately. The one about the old german chap (edit: he was Austrian sorry) that nailed his sack down accidently while working on his roof (vaguely remember) wasn't quite as amusing as the rest (definition of cringe worthy).
Re: Still a problem for non-techies
Can always count on one nothing to fear nothing to hide wanker in any privacy discussion. They never seen keen to post videos of themselves with their wives/girlfriends/themselves though.
Re: can't resist
So be it but still officially SPARC outlasted IPF even if only technically. Both are dead men walking obviously.
>Some faults will be cause by damage in transit.
ie. the six dollar an hour seasonal temp warehouse drone (even Walmart contracts this stuff out to avoid having more true employees) fresh out prison being his usual careful self with the man's stuff.
Re: Hahaha knew I remembered something about their infrastructure
Well said and exactly what I meant. The issue is not shit hardware but that Salesforce design seems to also be shit. As you imply good expensive hardware can give more leeway for design faults. Still this architect came off as a real wanker and if you are going to brag like this then if I read an article about your site going tits up for hours in just a few months I will remember. Plus as pointed out in the comments of that previous article this is not the first massive collapse of salesforce in recent memory.
can't resist
What I see in the chart is HP's joke Itanium not being in the list for nearly half a decade but Snoracle's sorry SPARC still having a sliver in the list. Don't know which is more pathetic. IBM seems to be hanging on at a small minority of the market but definitely more than a sliver or a distant memory.

Changing Climates
World rulers think their inaction at Copenhagen will save their position of privilege, but the people aren't rolling over.
My favourite media moment at the Copenhagen climate conference came last Thursday when Evo Morales declared: "Capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity." Bolivia's president was being interviewed by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now, heard at noon weekdays on CKDU.
Morales, speaking through a translator, described the irrational and unlimited industrialization that destroys the environment. He added that capitalism could only be overcome by ending luxury and consumerism. "So that's why we're trying to think about other ways of living [our] lives and living well, not living better," he said. "Living better is always at someone else's expense."
I chuckled knowing that capitalism's main defenders, Barack Obama and his little pal Harper, couldn't do a goddamn thing to squelch Morales or the leaders of other poor nations who questioned a rampaging economic system based on fraud, ignorance and greed. All Obama and Harper could do---and they did it---was to do nothing about climate change. Both have earned the undying curses of future generations. The US Environmental Protection Agency warns, for example, of far-reaching climate change effects---everything from coastal erosion and flooding, to drought and wild fires. The Natural Resources Canada website carries similar warnings including an ominous one about the threat of serious flooding in downtown Halifax. A recent provincial report on the state of Nova Scotia's coasts predicts an accelerating rise in sea levels over the next century of between 70 and 140 centimetres. Yes, we'll all feel the impact of climate change. No wonder there's such strong public support in both Canada and the US for serious climate change measures, yet Obama and Harper diddle while the world burns.
My second-favourite media moment came last Wednesday as a United Nations security guard escorted the chair of Friends of the Earth International out of the climate change conference centre. Nnimmo Bassey, sporting a well-tailored suit jacket and burgundy scarf, calmly told Amy Goodman that the UN had suddenly revoked all of his organization's security passes. Bassey, a prominent Nigerian environmental activist, said Friends of the Earth had representatives accredited from all over the world. "And today we expected to have about 90 delegates in here, but not one has been allowed in," he said as the security guard kept urging him to leave. "And we are here as ordinary people, grassroots mobilizers, just to speak the mind of the people that want a real climate deal in Copenhagen. But apparently our leaders want to be cocooned away, to listen only to themselves."
As Bassey was led away, he barely had time to describe the "horrendous" effects of climate change in Nigeria. "We have ocean surges. We have desertification for the north, drought, all the evils---the oil corporations burning gas relentlessly." The next day, Canadian journalist Naomi Klein commented that Bassey has been imprisoned because of his activism in fighting the oil companies devastating the Niger Delta. "And he has physically been kept out of this centre, even though he's accredited," Klein added. "And meanwhile, the oil executives are walking free in the hallways. It's the world upside down."
Or, maybe, it's just the upside-down world of capitalism. Leaders of the rich, capitalist countries may wish to cocoon themselves away to discuss climate change. But that's becoming increasingly impossible in our wired global village where most of the villagers have figured out that climate change is about a lot more than rising temperatures. It's also about the stark divisions between rich and poor, haves and have-nots, the 1.1 billion who live on less than a dollar a day. It's also about trade, aid and Third World debt; famine, hunger and untreated disease. It's about violence, prisons, occupation and war; economic exploitation and profits; the heedless destruction of wildlife and forests; the loss of indigenous cultures. But most of all, climate change is about the struggle for justice.- Posted in

ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/12 -- The completion of a 14-week transformation of more than 24,000 SF of Atlanta meeting space at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead is announced by Erwin Schinnerl, general manager. The floor-to-ceiling renewal includes ballrooms and prefunction space on the first floor as well as boardrooms and meeting rooms on the second floor of the Buckhead hotel.
"Corporate leaders and meeting planners will find the new space visually beautiful and feature-rich to enhance the business experience for their colleagues and customers," said Mr. Schinnerl. "The only unchanged aspect is our commitment to unequalled service."
Buckhead Ballrooms and Prefunction Space
The centerpiece of the new space is the magnificent Grand Ballroom (8,970 SF). The four wrought iron chandeliers are replaced with six crystal chandeliers customized for the Atlanta luxury hotel in the Czech Republic, creating bursts of glittering brilliance overhead -- the effect of 30,000 hand-applied crystals. Over scale antiqued mirrored sconces with satin silver finishes are set against platinum wrapped silk wall panels. Custom carpet in subtle shades of platinum, silver, gold, periwinkle and pale green complete the color palette.
A range of new stage lighting, décor and projection options enables meeting planners to design large-scale presentations and entertainment in the Grand Ballroom. Among the new installations are eight half-ton skyhook rigging points, three 20-amp constant power circuits, CAT6 tie lines, premium audio systems and state-of-the-art dimmable LED fixtures.
The luxury Atlanta hotel's ballroom prefunction area (2,240 SF) features decidedly stylish customized furniture in gleaming ebony with silver leaf accents, sofas, tall wingback chairs, tables and Italian blown glass lamps. The custom carpet's rich shades of hazelnut, chocolate, gold and soft periwinkle are dramatic against the new velvety off-white walls. Overhead, faceted amethyst crystal drops and silk shades are added to the extraordinary original crystal chandeliers.
The Plaza Ballroom (2,494 SF) echoes the colors and décor of The Grand Ballroom. The oil paintings are removed, and the new wrapped silk wall panels showcase only the over scaled satin silver antiqued mirrored sconces, presenting a fresh setting for meetings, luncheons and receptions. The hazelnut, chocolate, gold and periwinkle carpet extends into The Gallery (3,015 SF), and is luxuriant against the polished mahogany-paneled walls of Buckhead's only function space with a wall of 20-ft tall windows.
Atlanta Meeting Rooms and Boardrooms
The rich color scheme continues to the second floor, transitioning into soft blues and deep golds in the two boardrooms and seven meeting rooms (624 to 936 SF each). New window treatments allow sunlight into the rooms and enhance the wide bay window views. Sleek LG 55-inch class video screens are installed in the boardrooms for efficient presentations and teleconferencing.
New Banquet Menus and Presentations
Coinciding with the completion of the Atlanta meeting facilities, Executive Chef Franck Steigerwald's new banquet menus and presentations assure a new culinary experience. Chef Steigerwald joined The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead recently from the St. Regis New York where he created culinary programs for conferences, weddings and celebrations.
To plan an unforgettable business meeting or conference in Atlanta, please contact Ms. Dana Cooper at 404-348-5621 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

When using servlets to build the HTML, you build a DOCTYPE line, why do you do that?
Follow us on Twitter, or add us on Facebook or Google Plus to keep you updated with the recent trends of Java and other open source platforms.
Have Programming Question? Ask it here!
I know all major browsers ignore it even though the HTML 3.2 and 4.0 specifications require it. But building a DOCTYPE line tells HTML validators which version of HTML you are using so they know which specification to check your document against. These validators are valuable debugging services, helping you catch HTML syntax errors.

Great Places
Glasgow Park
Pulaski Highway & South College Avenue
Glasgow, DE 19711

Glasgow County Park may well be the crown jewel of New Castle County's park system. For one thing, it offers 250 acres -- more open space than many state parks can claim. This land is home to "Bear Mountain," a massive sledding hill that may be the biggest in all of Delaware. And a 2.7-mile, paved walkway loops around these and many other amenities.
Those who haven't visited in years will marvel at $10 million worth of improvements made to the park. This included construction of the Glasgow Regional Skate Park, which opened in March 2012 near the park's playground and the Bear-Glasgow Family YMCA. It also included a bark park for dogs in August of 2013. This is located at the western end of the park, close to the intersection of U.S. 40 and Route 896.

Karl Rove: Obama Attacks On Chamber Funding Ignores ThinkProgress Donors (VIDEO)
"President Obama based his attack on a blog posting by ThinkProgress, which is associated with the Center for American Progress. A group headed by John Podesta, who headed the president's transition," said Rove. "It is a political group and doesn't reveal its donors. The president didn't say anything about the League of Conservation donors. The National Resources Defense Council, which runs ads through its action fund, does not reveal its donors."
Watch the video below:
In a separate interview on Sean Hannity's program last night, Rove added:
This is an attempt to mislead the American people, to draw their attention from the news that came out last week that it is really bad for the Democrats. There are a couple of numbers that explain why they are out there alleging something for which they have not one scintilla of evidence: in September, the American economy shed 95,000 jobs, unemployment rate is 9.6%. If the White House thinks it can take attention from those numbers by running phony ads and stirring up controversy they are kidding themselves."
The Daily Caller reported that a Democratic aide said that the White House backed off the attack on the Chamber after David Axelrod "got the treatment by Bob Schieffer," the CBS host, on Sunday. "Is that the best you can do?" Schieffer asked Axelrod.
