Venom scientists are in a race against time. Inside the bodies of many creatures, evolution has produced extreme toxic cocktails, all designed for one reason: to kill. It took millions of years to perfect these ultimate brews of proteins and peptides and we have only just begun to discover their potential. Now, the race is on to collect and study them before the animals that produce them disappear. But how does venom do its deadly work? NOVA reveals how venom causes the body to shut down, arteries to bleed uncontrollably and limbs to go black and die. But nature's most destructive and extreme poisons could contain the building blocks for a new generation of advanced drugs that could treat heart attack, stroke, diabetes, obesity and cancer. VENOM follows scientists on their expeditions to track down and capture the planet's most deadly creatures, risking life and limb just to tease out milligrams of venom and get it back to the lab. Find out how nature's deadliest cocktails could be medicine's brightest new hope.

Northern Exposure Reunion Show
We the loyal fans of Northern Exposure, seek to have this show given the opportunity for another run on prime time television or a reunion show. I have spoken to some of the Actors and they are in agreement that its time. John Falsey and his partner along with the actors and writers were ingenious! You delivered this quirky show into our living rooms each week. It was so well thought out that as a viewer you were drawn into the Town of Cicily, Alaska. We all continue to join the many groups on Facebook whose soul purpose is to continue Northern Exposure. But now, the time has come to bring it back we ask humbly and politely.

Businesses in Wisconsin have been adapting to the fact they cannot always find the qualified employees they need. The skills gap has been affecting industries from manufacturing to health care. In today's installment of our series Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted, WUWM's LaToya Dennis visited several companies to learn about the impact the skills shortage is having on them.
All this week, we're talking about what many have described as the "skills gap" that's opened up in this country – the disconnect between employers who have job open, many in highly skilled manufacturing trades, and the millions of unemployed or underemployed people in this country.
The perceived skills gap has been everywhere, it seems. The State of Wisconsin set out to study it and find solutions for connecting unemployed workers with existing jobs.The Urban Economic Development Association will convene its annual summit to discuss it next week. And newspapers and magazines have devoted hundreds of column inches to exploring why this supposed gap has opened up.
Our Project Milwaukee: Help Wanted series this week is exploring the realities and myths of the "skills gap," the apparent mismatch between unemployed workers and existing jobs.
While Wisconsin continues shaking off the recession, thousands of workers still don't have jobs. Yet businesses, particularly manufacturers, report having a difficult time filling certain positions. Several people actively addressing the problem defined it from their perspective.

City Lights and Sandy
Few things bring the awesomeness of satellite photos to the masses like giant storms. Hurricane Sandy beat down the East coast this week, destroying and flooding homes and other property, leaving millions without power, and killing nearly 60 just here in the U.S. The image above shows Sandy early Tuesday morning, viewed by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite aboard Suomi NPP satellite, part of NASA's Earth Observatory. The NPP satellite orbits the planet 14 times a day, sending back data that helps scientists study climate change. You can see the clusters of city lights west of the storm, and the full moon lighting up the tops of Sandy's cloud formation.

Here, problem solved - Buy a multimeter, buy a soldering station, fix your own cable. I value my time at about $100 an hour, so It's pretty clearly cheaper to buy a new one. If I was in the jungles of Uzbeki-beki-stan-stan, I would fix my own.

But it's a cable man! In the best case scenario you have a broken connection at a soldered joint, but in that case there is a high likelihood of cable damage as well, so it is ill advised not to replace the cable too. When you are done you have manufactured a new cable, so they cut out the middle step and just sell you a new cable. That's it.
They are expensive. There is no way around it but to handle them with proper care and plan for some replacements. Use good AC's. It's a PITA. Oh well whaduyagonnado?
The real complaint should be to Lemo, the company who designs, makes, and defines how the connectors should be assembled. Red just assembles them to suit their needs. But having a lot of first hand experience assembling and designing applications with Lemo connectors, it is my opinion that the price for their connectors is a fair one, even compared to some Lemo "knock-offs" and Lemo compatible connectors from china.
Ben, I don't know if it will give you any peace of mind to have someone from RED chime in, but...the answers to your questions were presented by others in this thread. If the repair cost exceeds the cost of a new item, we suggest a replacement. Sending your old cable back to us for a "credit" puts us in the same spot as a repair, having to invest cost to do something with it. Sometimes, building something new is cheaper than taking something, tearing it apart, fixing it, and putting it back together.
I accidentally squished my cable and am trying to find just the outer sleeve part. The pins inside are okay and I currently can use the cable in a 'lab' setting. If anyone is tossing a cable could they send me their sleeve first? Please? I'll pay shipping!
I think it becomes an unfortunate effect of 'comparison' HDMI cables are very cheap... Red cables are very high by comparison. I think sometimes there's a psychological thing in us that says if something looks the same as something else, it should have a perceived similar cost of production.
I think this is true of a lot of Red products (SSDs for example). But it would be helpful if Red were to license out the tech for other (reputable) companies to produce cables.. perhaps the higher volume of production will bring the price down, without ruining the high quality.
Until that time, the price is fair as only Red produce this cable, and they get to set their margins for it.
Ive purchased more LEMO cables than Id like to remember.
Ive opened these up and leaned what goes into them and ITS unbelievable the amount of cables inside these. They really are pretty amazing.
The information they carry along with power and capabilities is what makes it all possible to not need multiple cables.
Unfortunately they seem nearly impossible to repair or atleast not worth it due to how many strands of cables are inside them.
So instead what several of us have done is put clear shrink tubing at the ends to help strengthen them and make them tougher at the ends that bend.
Its totally worth it.
Does it suck to have to buy new ones... ya however give the shrink tubing a try and hopefully you get more mileage out of them.
Youve got to admit the upside of these EPICS with todays firmwares and the modules that are starting to drop FAR outweighs a $220 cable.
Small price to pay for such a FUCKING crazy bad ass camera.
Best of luck to ya.
Big Lu, you must be putting the shrink tubing on your custom cables, right? Or, how do you add the shrink wrapping to RED's cables?
The LEMO connectors used on the EVF/LCD cable are about $60 each, even when bought in bulk quantities like 1000 pieces. They pretty much have to be hand-assembled and tested. $220 isn't too bad for these cables and if one does need to be repaired where a connector has to be replaced, it's going to be cheaper to just replace the cable. Compared to any other similar double-ended LEMO cables on the market, the RED cables are pretty much a bargain. You want them "cheaper", make them yourself... You'll pay more than RED does for the connectors unless you buy a truckload of the kind you need and the only money you'll actually save will be a portion of the labor cost. But then you will have to do it yourself... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I've got much better things to do than monkey around with trying to fix or make my own LEMO cables.
Contact any of the pro cable shops / suppliers who assemble cables and get a quote for equivalent cables with proper LEMO connectors. You'll find that ordering from RED is the best deal going. Painful for the wallet, but true.

Dorothy Danforth's idea of a great plant is one that enhances the place where it is planted and hangs around a long time. She has found out how to accomplish season-long color by moving plants around her yard. These are some that she just can't live without.
In order to have a blooming Spring garden, Dorothy divides all of her plants and places them throughout her garden. These are three of her favorites.
'Flore Pleno' buttercup (Ranunculus acris 'Flore Pleno'). This starts blooming in May and blooms until July, quite long for a perennial. It also looks gorgeous in arrangements, especially with Siberian Iris.
'Rosalinda' phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Rosalinda'). This phlox starts blooming in early spring and blooms a long time. It is very vigorous and can be divided endlessly, making it possible to have it throughout the garden in spring and early summer.
'Superba' clustered bellflower (Campanula glomerata 'Superba'). This is an outstanding plant for the early garden. It is also a spreading plant, supplying many plants throughout the garden.
Dorothy divides all these plants to have a variety of color in summer.
'Souvenir d' Andre Chaudron' catmint (Nepeta 'Souvenir d' Andre Chaudron'). This nepata is tall and provides color in the garden for a long time, starting in early summer and ending in late August. It needs support as it is limp. I use tomato towers, the tall and sturdy kind, which I place around it in early spring.
'Laura' phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Laura'). This blue phlox is mostly disease resistant, bloom for a long time, starting in mid-summer and last through early fall. The stems are sturdy, needing little support.
'Firetail' fleeceflower (Persicaria 'Firetail'). This plant starts blooming in early summer and continues until the killing frost. It is a big plant taking much space, but it earns its spot by the service it gives the summer and fall garden. It is not too tall, but broad.
'Blue Lagoon' aster (Aster novi-belgii 'Blue Lagoon'). This plant starts blooming in September, is short and can enhance the border throughout the garden with little blue puffs, and is so vigorous that it can be divided a lot. It seems to be more disease resistant than other asters.
'Autumn Fire' sedum (Sedum 'Autumn Fire'). This sedum is an improvement over 'Autumn Joy' which I find hard to grow in my garden due to the overhead watering. 'Autumn Fire' does not rot in my frequently watered garden. It can be multiplied all over the garden, enhancing a fall look.
'Fireworks' goldenrod (Solidago 'Fireworks'). This is a gorgeous plant, tall and graceful that blooms a long time in fall. it spreads to a big plant and can be multiplied throughout the garden.
'Arabesque' maiden grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'Arabesque'). This grass is the first to bloom in late September. It has strong stems and the inflorescences start copper and turn silver, then wheat color in late fall. It is a gorgeous sight when the morning sun shines behind it. It stands tall all winter, swaying in the wind and returns upright when a blizzard bends it over temporarily.
'Ice Dance' sedge (Carex morrowii 'Ice Dance'). This little sedge works its head off for the gardener. It spreads by growing little baby shoots in all directions. It stays green all winter, looks graceful with its waterfall foliage, and will grow any place I put it—sun or shade. My advice to anyone who attempts to grow this plant is, "Don't plant them too close together."
'Gowdy' Oriental spruce (Picea orientalis 'Gowdy'). I like conifers with personality. Conifers are new to me and I can't get enough of them.

Finalizing odyssey of 17 yearsAbout 17 years ago, I first set out on an odyssey to educate my two sons in the United States. Initially, my decision was met with many objections from my family and friends. But it proved to be a quixotic adventure for me who had nothing but the ambition to give my children the chances I did not have despite my strong desire for them. Since then I have become a Don Quixote figure to my acquaintances because of the outrageous adventure I embarked upon. Thanks to God, I was able to send each of them to one of the top five prep high schools in the States and after four years in the best educational environment for them, on to a wonderful university for five years and then finally, Harvard Graduate School. Needless to say, all these steps were enabled with the close cooperation of my wife. A few weeks ago I attended the graduation ceremony of my younger son at Harvard. This was my first such experience and when my son's name was announced for him to receive his award, my wife and me shouted, ``We made It." They say the digital program he invented for his graduation dissertation was a breakthrough. To be awarded a prize at your Harvard graduation is by no means an ordinary thing. Concluding the 17-year-long odyssey with my younger son, I am writing this on the iPad my son bought for me while waiting for the flight to take me back home. Now my happiness is beyond words and I feel very proud of having started the long, painstaking, and sometimes despair inducing journey, even though it forced me to become trapped in poverty. In retrospect, it was an eventful long journey against so many vicissitudes. But all the adversities I had to go through financially as well as physically were nothing but a price I had to pay with pleasure. Above all, when my wife had to undergo a mastectomy because of cancer and my kidney collapsed, our financial situation was miserable and I was forced to almost give up everything, and would have done so, had it not been for my invincible belief in Heaven and in the path I had chosen. The belief and self-confidence that pulled my wife and me through can be ascribed to the maxim: ``Do your best and abide by the will of Heaven." We did our best, believing in Heaven and Heaven confirmed our direction. Moreover, despite being absent from their homeland for such a long time, my two sons are more Korean in every aspect than many Koreans. They read Korean best-sellers, especially by Yu Si Hwa, a famous essayist and poet, before I do, even though I live in Korea and always keep up with the latest issues here. Above all, they are always dutiful to, and obliged to their parents for the sacrifices they have made. Therefore, I never regret my decision and the two million U.S. dollars I had to invest in their futures, less still my health problems. I am still so strong-willed; I work as much as any ordinary man of 62 and Heaven has rewarded me with enough talent and industry to earn enough income to support my wife and me. An old saying tells us that to brag about one's children is one of the seven follies. However, the emotion I feel at this moment is too strong to be contained. In addition I am proud of my parents from whom I inherited my enthusiasm for children's education. They did their best despite experiencing abject poverty to educate their four children in Seoul in the 1950s. I am proud of such a family trait, but much to my regret it is disappearing from our society. The writer is principal of Polyglot Day School in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province. His email address is email@example.com. |

At first glance, the shiny finger waves Lily Collins wore to the Madrid premiere of Mortal Instruments looked like something Daisy Buchanan a la The Great Gatsby would have sported, but the sleek texture paired with exposed bobby pins in the back gave the style a more current feel. "I knew I wanted to do a classic style with a '20s feel," said her hairstylist Mara Roszak, who began by spritzing sections of Collins' hair with a heat protectant to create a solid foundation. To impart an ultra-smooth texture, Roszak slightly dampened the star's roots, then created a graphic side part and combed a touch of gel through the wet portion of hair. She clipped a smooth S-shaped wave onto her forehead area to dry and set in place, then added waves to the rest of Collins' hair with a medium-barrel curling iron. "Once the hair was all dry, I unclipped the bangs and gently brushed out the bottom," Roszak added. "With long black bobby pins, I created a slightly staggered look around the head, allowing the style to stay flat, while adding a modern accessory with exposed bobby pins."

It's a game that was marked on the calendars for both Syracuse and UConn for quite some time, and not just because the Huskies are the #3 team in the country.
Cicero-North Syracuse alum Breanna Stewart, now a freshman star for the Huskies finally got the chance to play against her hometown team.
And she made the most of it.
Stewart scored 20 points and helped to lead Connecticut to an 87-62 win over Syracuse.
Below is the press release from SU Athletics:
HARTFORD, Conn. - Stefanie Dolson and Kaleena Mosquedo-Lewis combined for 50 points to lead No. 3/2 Connecticut (16-1, 4-1) to an 87-62 victory over No. 23 Syracuse women's basketball (15-2, 3-1) in front of 14,789 at the XL Center on Saturday. Carmen Tyson-Thomas led four Orange scorers in double figures with 12 points.The Orange made runs on the Huskies in each half, a 14-5 first-half run that pulled it within one, 28-27, and an 11-1 second-half run that made it a 12-point game, 69-57, but the Huskies answered with runs of their own, 13-2 to close the first half and 18-5 to close the second half.Brianna Butler scored 11 points on 3-of-7 3-point shooting, while fellow freshman Brittney Sykes added 10 points on 2-of-4 shooting behind the arc and junior Rachel Coffey had 10 points on 2-of-3 shooting from 3-point range.Dolson and Mosquedo-Lewis (6-13 3FGs) each had 25 points to lead the Huskies, while Breanna Stewart scored 12 points in the final 4:24 to finish with 20.Brianna Butler hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions in the second half, pulling the Orange within 14, 56-42, with 15 minutes remaining, but UConn responded, taking its largest lead, 22 points, on a Mosquedo-Lewis jumper with 9:45 remaining that made it 68-46. SU used its trapping defense to force turnovers and spur an 11-1 run that pulled it within 12, 69-57, with 5:09 left. Tyson-Thomas and Sykes had back-to-back transition lay-ups off steals to fuel the run.UConn raced out to a 23-14 lead midway through the first half, led by nine points from Dolson, but the Orange went 14-5 run that pulled it within one, 28-27, at the 5:48 mark on a jumper by Shakeya Leary. The Huskies then closed the half on a 13-2 run to head to the locker room with a 41-29 lead. Leary finished the game with seven points and seven rebounds in a season-high 23 minutes.All-BIG EAST center Kayla Alexander played just 11 minutes total due to foul trouble, sitting the final 15:21 of the first half after picking up her second. She finished with four points and three rebounds before fouling out with 5:33 left. The senior center sits at 1,771 career points, 16 behind Nicole Michael's school record of 1,787.The Orange travels to Queens, N.Y. to face to St. John's on Wednesday in an 11:30 a.m. tip at Carnesecca Arena.

I'm not shredded, nor an underwear model, but this guy's unattractive and too fat to model underwear. For an average Joe he looks great! To model underwear, he needs two weeks with no carbs and 2 days worth of diuretics to get rid of that bloat and rip that stomach. FAIL
If he is fat, i'm Orson Wells.
Why do you think he has a douche attitude? WHat do you know of him?
@keoki3: LOL Oh boy. And if he HAD been oh so perfect, people would have complained that he was too perfect and why don't they ever get average men to do underwear ads. Honestly though I don't see an ounce of fat on this guy, you need your eyes checked.
Thank you for this, Queerty. He is a looker, and fills out those briefs nicely.
@DarkZephyr: Agree! I'd have that guy for breakfast lunch and dinner. And that profile! I'm weak kneed.
That last photo just sold me on this guy. Great angle, fills out them boxer briefs nicely… ;)

Abstract: Optical properties of Pb doped ternary Ge-Sb-Te chalcognide films prepared by thermal evaporation have been studied in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions. The straightforward analysis proposed by Swanepoel has been successfully employed and it has allowed us to accurately determine the refractive index and extinction coefficient of the films. The refractive index has been determined from the upper and lower envelopes of the transmission spectra. The absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient have been determined from the transmission spectra in the strong-absorption region. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the Wemple–DiDomenico single oscillator model. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/544 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The measurements and analysis of optical transmission and far-infrared (IR) reflectivity spectra of thermally evaporated Sb2Se3:Sn films are reported. The refractive index and film thickness have been determined from the upper and lower envelopes of the transmission spectra (Swanepoel's standard envelope method), measured at normal incidence, in the spectral range from 800 to 2500 nm. Values of the refractive index fit well to Cauchy's dispersion relation. The optical gap decreases with an increase in the Sn content, while a maximum in the tailing parameter and Urbach's energy occurs with only a small amount ( 1 at %) of this additive. Characteristic vibrational bands for SbSe3 structural units are revealed in the far-IR spectrum with no additional ones arising from the Sn additive. The Kramers–Kronig analysis has been used to calculate the dielectric constants and hence the longitudinal optic and transverse optic splitting for various compositions. The inclusion of Sn as a charged entity along with the Coulomb interactions which serve to polarize the glass medium is found to be responsible for these results.

When Brad Pitt declared that he and Angelina Jolie wanted a "soccer team" of kids, he wasn't kidding. Earlier this year, in between stories that Brangelina were on the brink of splitting up, tabloids ran photos of Angelina sporting what appeared to be a small baby bump and reported that she had changed her diet to a more pregnancy-friendly one. However, whispers in the gossip world say that Angelina may be having infertility problems and has already suffered through one miscarriage earlier this year.
Per Grazia:
"It's been really hard for Angie lately, especially because of all the speculation that she is pregnant," says a source close to the couple.
"Every time she sees another headline like that it just adds to her grief that she can't seem to conceive. She got pregnant so quickly with Shiloh and the twins that when she decided she wanted another child, she thought it would happen immediately.
"The early miscarriage was just awful for her and since then, she hasn't fallen pregnant – now she's worried she never will again."
Her obstetrician allegedly assures Angelina she is fit to conceive again, but after months of trying, she has become increasingly worried. She has changed her diet from eating junk food and ready-meals to healthier ones and has started to take vitamins. She also told Pitt to stop drinking. Angelina is now said to be considering fertility treatment, despite her aversion to medical intervention.
Despite the fact that we are media whores, we do have sympathy for Jolie. I hope she finds a healthy option.

Rugby fan Prince Harry joked he was already "past it" as he helped coach a session for youngsters at Twickenham Stadium today.
The 29-year-old took part in training with schoolchildren alongside former England star Jason Robinson, who threw down the gauntlet to the prince.
"I'll be looking to see what you've got," the World Cup winner said.
But Harry replied: "I think I'm a bit past it already."
The royal is patron of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) All Schools Programme, a project to help boost participation in state schools.
Harry, who is often seen cheering England on from the sidelines, put some of his passing, kicking and tackling skills to the test on Twickenham's famous turf.
Robinson, 39, said: "It's just fantastic to see him out here with the kids.
"He's dripping with sweat. He's put everything into this, because he is passionate about the game."
Robinson joked with Harry that he could make it into the England squad for the forthcoming World Cup in 2015.
"We're looking for a winger or a full-back," he said to Harry.
The famous winger, from Leeds, also gave the fourth-in-line to the throne a pair of his boots.
He told him: "I can't guarantee they'll get you into the England team, but you'll be quick."
After the coaching session, Robinson joked: "We're always looking, if any of the England players go down, we've got a replacement.
"I'm not sure what he's like in contact though, although saying that, it was supposed to be a bit of tagging and he was getting bit rough with me."
Harry wore a white T-shirt and blue England tracksuit bottoms as he ran around the pitch for about an hour.
Red-faced and out of breath, the prince laughed with former England captain Robinson as they tried to out-fox each other.
Harry, who took official RFU coaching qualifications on his gap year, helped coach state secondary school boys and girls from Kelvin Hall School in Hull, Oakbank School in Keighley, West Yorkshire, Oxclose Community Academy in Tyne and Wear, Rokeby School in Newham, east London, and Stonehill High School in Leicester.

Three antelope are living along Highway 70 near Beckwourth for the winter. Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol have set up changeable message signs to alert drivers of the grazing animals near the roads.Photo submitted |
Many Reno commuters and Sierra Valley residents will notice a change in scenery on Highway 70 near Beckwourth. There is a small heard of three antelope roaming the pastures near the highway.
If drivers haven't noticed them, they certainly will notice the changeable message signs put up by Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol alerting drivers of the creatures' presence near the road.
According to a Caltrans representative, the small herd is creating a safety issue because drivers are frequently slowing down and making U-turns to catch sight of the unusual animals in the area.
Steve Ulrich, wildlife officer with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said there was a herd of eight antelope out by the airport in Beckwourth this summer. Once the winter hit these three stayed in the area, but the snow cover forced them to graze by the roads.
These antelope are an offshoot from the large herd that lives by Hallelujah Junction, but Ulrich said the herd of eight was the most he's ever seen in the Sierra Valley area.
Caltrans, CHP, CDFW and local farmers have all been working to protect the antelope from being hit by any cars cruising through the valley.
"Everybody wants to see them live," said the Caltrans representative. "The main thing is public safety."
"There's a limited amount of things we can do," said Ulrich. "They have a mind of their own, and antelope are very, very reluctant to jump over fences."
Both Caltrans and CDFW said they want to alert people to the danger of the crossing antelope.
"People need to be aware that where we live is a dangerous place for crossing animals. Especially this time of year, animals will be starting to move back and crossing the roadways," Ulrich said.

Falling to Pieces
Price: | $12.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
In the Amish community of Shipshewana, two women---one Amish, one English---reluctantly join forces for a short-term business venture. Neither is looking for friendship, but when the town's newspaper editor is murdered, and an unexpected prime suspect is identified, the women form an unlikely alliance to solve the mystery.
ePub, Reflowable$7.99
In this first book of a three-book series, author Vannetta Chapman brings a fresh twist to the popular Amish fiction genre. She blends the familiar components consumers love in Amish books---faith, community, simplicity, family---with an innovative who-done-it plot that keeps readers guessing right up to the last stitch in the quilt. When two women---one Amish, one English---each with different motives, join forces to organize a successful on-line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship. As different as night and day, Deborah and Callie are uneasy partners who simply want to make the best of a temporary situation. But a murder, a surprising prime suspect, a stubborn detective, and the town's reaction throw the two women together, and they form an unlikely alliance to solve a mystery and catch a killer. Set in the well-known Amish community of Shipshewana, Falling to Pieces will attract both devoted fans of the rapidly-growing Amish fiction genre, as well as those who are captivated by the Amish way of life.

Washington, DC Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Earlier this year, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) proposed a $9 trillion deficit reduction strategy in his book, "The Debt Bomb: A Bold Plan to Stop Washington from Bankrupting America." The Senator's proposal would also shrink the size of the federal government by 25 percent.
This morning, Sen. Coburn appears at the Ripon Society where he will talk about the upcoming elections and prospects for resolving the "fiscal cliff" facing the country at the beginning of the new year.
The two-term Senator served on the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction commission and is a member of the "Gang of Six," a bi-partisan group of senators who offered their own $3.7 trillion, ten-year deficit reduction plan in July 2011.

Commodities are under pressure in European hours trade as markets respond to over-the-weekend news that Socialist candidate Francois Hollande beat incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy to become the next President of France. Traders are worried that the anti-austerity Hollande will unravel euro-zone debt crisis relief efforts, which like most EU policy have heavily relied on the Franco-German axis.
A failure by the mainstream pro-austerity Pasok and New Democracy (ND) parties to secure a joint parliamentary majority in Greek elections also held this weekend is compounding sovereign risk fears. Pasok and ND had previously signaled they were prepared to form a joint coalition, but now such an arrangement would require cajoling at least one currently anti-austerity junior member into the arrangement.
Growth-geared crude oil and copper prices are following stocks lower while gold and silver are under pressure as the US dollar rides haven demand higher. Losses in the precious metals space are very modest however as fears of a euro-zone-driven credit crisis akin to the events of 2008 boost the appeal of assets not necessarily reliant on well-functioning financial markets to maintain their value. A quiet economic calendar offers little to derail momentum and S&P 500 stock index futures are deeply in the red, hinting current trends are likely to carry forward as Wall Street comes on line.
COMEX E-Mini Copper (NY Close): $3.722 // -0.014 // -0.37%
Prices are testing support lines up at 3.713, with a break lower exposing rising trend line support set from October at 3.632. Initial resistance is found at a shorter-term rising trend line that formerly acted as support set from mid-March, now at 3.862.
Prices are testing support in the 1,629.60-1,637.95 area marked by the bottom of a Triangle chart formation carved out since late March and the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion.

An electric rice cooker is a great method to cook a nice amount of tasty rice as well as creating more stove-top space. Now while the thought of preparing rice is pretty easy, there are quite a few things to to be aware of about the different varieties of rice cookers on the market and which particular one will fit you best. The following are some thoughts on selecting the best cooker for your house-hold.
Think about what you need your rice cooker to carry out along with which type of rice you're probably to cook. Rice cookers offers you unrivaled convenience when it comes to cooking white rice. They cause the rice to be softer and fluffier, therefore they are simpler to digest. If you want a healthier rice assortment, then you definitely ought to go with brown rice. Brown rice is loaded with Gamma Aminobutyric Acid that is an amino acid that offers a number of health advantages. You will require a stainless steel cooker for this and make certain that it has got the brown rice functionality. Click on this link to know more on this: Zojirushi NS-LAC05
Think about how frequently you are going to use your rice cooker. If you will need to to cook rice rarely and you desire to get your money's worth, I would suggest that you should get a stainless steel cooker that accompanies a steam basket or maybe a pasta colander. Doing this, your cooker becomes quite versatile and you are able to cook several dishes by using it. If you are planning to generally use your rice cooker for making rice, then these typical ones will certainly fit your needs as well. You don't need to find the ones you can use as a steamer or pasta cooker because they can cost a bit more. To know more on this rice cooker, click on this link: Zojirushi rice steamer
You should also search for an electrical rice cooker that's very easy to clean. In case you have a habit of washing your pots the very next day you will be astonished at how day old rice can adhere to the rice pot. Rice cookers nowadays have a removable rice pot for easy cleaning. Typically the rice pot is made of steel or aluminum. Non stick surfaces for rice pots can be found also nevertheless take into account it will cost more. If you need to save a little cash just ensure you wash the rice pot every evening, or maybe fill it with faucet water and as a result it'll be simpler to clean the following day.
Finally I believe in getting products which are multi taskers. This is very true for kitchen utilities since the great majority of people have small kitchen areas such as students residing in college dorms. These days electric rice cookers are getting to be very innovative. They have built in sensors which modify temperatures and also settings for cooking a variety of rice grains. For any decent price you are able to acquire rice cooker units whose function is to steam food and be used as a slow cooker. Selected models is capable of makingf traditional oat meal ready for the purpose of consumption when you awake in the morning. You can program it the night before at the same time you're setting up your coffee appliance.

Guillen happy to join FOX for World Series
Jim Ecker
Saturday, October 24, 2009
JUPITER, Fla. -- Ozzie Guillen, the irrepressible and loquacious manager of the Chicago White Sox, said Friday he plans to partially throttle himself as a member of the FOX broadcast crew for the 2009 World Series. He'll give his opinions, but doesn't want to offend the players and managers.
It could be a fine line.
"I just be honest. I'm going to have my opinions. I hope people respect that," said Guillen, who became the first Latin-born manager to win the World Series when he led the White Sox to the title in 2005. "I know every time you make an opinion, good or bad, there's two ways to look at it. I expect to be myself and I hope I do a good job. I hope people like it."
Guillen, 45, is visiting the WWBA World Championship this weekend to watch his youngest son, Ozney, play for the Kentucky Baseball Club. He visited with old friends, greeted new ones and generally held court wherever he went at the Roger Dean Sports Complex, talking baseball, telling stories and enjoying life, as always.
Guillen said he's not sure of his exact assignments with FOX for the World Series, but it's been reported he'll be part of the pre-game and post-game shows.
"Right now, I don't have the details," he said. "We have a meeting a couple of days before the World Series starts, and then at the meeting they're going to let me know exactly what my role is going to be. And I happen to have two outstanding broadcasters in the booth behind me to talk about the game in (Tim) McCarver and (Joe) Buck. They do a tremendous job over the years and are one of the best in the business. I'm just one piece of the puzzle. Hopefully we'll have fun and enjoy what we're doing."
Guillen, from Venezuela, is bilingual in Spanish and English, but Spanish is his native tongue. "The only thing they can hope is the people can understand what I'm saying," he said, laughing and poking a little fun at himself.
"I think to be broadcaster you have to know about the game, and be honest, and not try to manage the team. You're not managing," he said. "And don't try to play the game when you're not playing. You just have to say your opinion and respect the managers' decisions and respect the players' decisions.
"The team I'll be working with are very, very special people," he said. "They know about the game. You cannot be more pleased when you're doing this for the first time in your life and you're going to do it on the big stage."
The Phillies are waiting to see who they'll play in the World Series. The Yankees had a 3-2 lead going into the sixth game of the American League playoffs Saturday night in New York.
"In a short series, you never know what's going to happen," said Guillen. "New York look very well. They go back home. They have one of the best pitchers in the postseason in Andy (Pettitte) throwing for them. I think it's going to be tough for the Angels, but you never know. The Angels have a great ballclub. They're a pretty balanced ballclub. Like I say, anything can happen."
Guillen was impressed and surprised by the large number of pro scouts and college coaches for the WWBA World Championship. When his son invited him to attend the tournament, he didn't realize it was such a big deal, with hundreds of scouts. He visited with many of them, greeting them warmly and swapping stories, although Guillen did most of the swapping.
"When you see a lot of baseball people here it's something you enjoy," he said. "I enjoy to be around baseball, I enjoy to be around baseball people. I love to watch kids play. I just hope they have fun and do the best they can and play hard.
"When you see kids around here doing everything they can with their parents to be good baseball players, I think it's something you feel proud," he said. "I think the United States need more of this. I think we have to support these kids a little more and make sure those kids do the right things to play."
It was different for Guillen when he was a kid.
"It's funny," he said. "I was just talking to a couple of people. I remember in Venezuela, it was like 40 kids and there was only one scout. Now things changed. Now it's 40 scouts to watch one kid. This business grow so quick. It's good thing.
"The kids have a chance to be seen by a lot of good baseball people," he said. "I think it's a great thing."
Guillen overcame the odds and played in the major leagues from 1985 to 2000 with the White Sox, Baltimore, Atlanta and Tampa Bay. He was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 1985, made the All-Star game three times and won a Gold Glove at shortstop in 1990. He hit .264 in his career and just finished his sixth year as manager of the White Sox. He led Chicago to its first World Series championship since 1917 with a four-game sweep of Houston in 2005.
The White Sox struggled this season, but Guillen sees better days ahead.
"I think next year we going to have a better ballclub," he said. "I think our defense and our pitching staff is going to be better. I think our pitching will be fine. I think we need a couple more arms in the bullpen. And that's not my department. I'll let Kenny Williams (the White Sox G.M.) do his job. I think on the paper we look very well. Hopefully we just go on the field and do it."

By Henry Cuningham Military editor
The Army is investigating Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, who has been reassigned from Afghanistan back to Fort Bragg, officials said Friday.
Earlier this month, Sinclair was removed from his job as the 82nd Airborne Division's deputy commanding general for support in Afghanistan. He had been deputy commander since July 2010.
"This is a criminal investigation," said Ben Abel, a Fort Bragg spokesman.
Sinclair has returned to Fort Bragg for his assignment as special assistant to the commanding general of the 18th Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, Abel said.
The incident is the first in recent memory in which a Fort Bragg general was removed from a position and investigated.
The Department of Defense announced May 2 that Brig. Gen. Timothy P. McGuire was reassigned as deputy division commander. McGuire was deputy chief Army legislative liaison and took the 82nd's 3rd Brigade Combat Team to Iraq for a year.
In Afghanistan, Maj. Gen. Jim Huggins and the 82nd Airborne Division headquarters are in charge of NATO's Regional Command South at Kandahar.
"The 82nd Airborne Division team remains strong and focused on our mission," said Lt. Col. Dave Connolly, chief of public affairs for the division and regional command.
NATO's International Security Assistance Forces divides Afghanistan into regional commands under U.S., Italian, German and Turkish one- and two-star generals. Regional Command South includes the provinces of Kandahar, Uruzgan, Zabul and Daykundi, where some of the toughest fighting is taking place. NATO forces are working with the Afghan government to improve security, defeat the insurgency and foster economic growth.
Huggins' headquarters has worked with forces from Albania, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Romania, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Australia, Jordan and Singapore.
No information was available about the time frame of the investigation or why Sinclair is being investigated, Abel said.
"It is the policy of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command not to release information on allegations of wrongdoing or information concerning open investigations to protect the integrity of those investigations," said Jeffrey Castro, a spokesman for the Army Criminal Investigation Command at Quantico, Va. "Generally, information is releasable after cases are closed, referred to commanders for disposition, and disciplinary action has been completed."
Typically the job of "special assistant" is a temporary title for a high-ranking officer between assignments. Sinclair is special assistant to Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, who will relinquish command Tuesday. Maj. Gen. Rodney Anderson, the deputy corps commander, will be in charge until the arrival of Lt. Gen. Dan Allyn next month.
"There is not going to be a break in responsibility," Abel said.
Sinclair was commissioned through ROTC in December 1985 after graduating from West Virginia University. He was trained as an infantry and field artillery officer.
In May 1999, he came to Fort Bragg to become the Army operations officer and later chief of the Plans and Training Division in the Joint Special Operations Command. In June 2001, he became the executive officer of the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division and participated in operations in Afghanistan.

Hi, I'm the creator of ClusterNFS. Yes, it does have a memory leak. In the enviroement where I was using it, the leak was slow enough that I didn't realize that it was occuring for some time. Restarting ClusterNFS once a day was enough to resolve our problem. ClusterNFS hasn't seen any changes in the last few months because I was busy trying to complete my PhD. Now that I've graduated, I'm in a new job where I don't (yet?) have time to do anything with ClusterNFS (or anything else beowulfish, either). At least in the short term, ClusterNFS needs a new maintainter. Anyone care to volonteer? I'll be happy to explain how ClusterNFS differs from the standard NFS server (it's just a small patch to the standard NFS sources), or to answer other questions. -Greg > -----Original Message----- > From: Bjoern Rabenstein [mailto:rabe at chemie.fu-berlin.de] > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 9:30 AM > To: Beowulf Mailinglist > Subject: Memory leak in cluster NFS > > > We just have tried ClusterNFS (http://ClusterNFS.sourceforge.net ). > We observe a significant memory leakage.

But I am wondering why the memory leak was discovered so late. (The current release of ClusterNFS is from November last year.)
