The WAGs of Super Bowl XLVII
By (Featured Columnist) on January 27, 2013

Besides (potentially) making a hell of a lot of money playing a sport, we all know one of the other benefits of being a pro athlete is rolling thick with some pretty damn good looking ladies.
With the Super Bowl set next weekend between the Niners and Ravens, we're offering up the WAGS from the guys who will be butting heads for a shot at that coveted ring.
Regardless of the the outcome, some of these guys will have quite the stunner to support them no matter if they win or lose.
Courtney Eckhart (Girlfriend of 49ers RB LaMichael James)

James is known as being one fast dude, so we have a hunch he was pretty swift in sealing the deal with Courtney when he first met her.
Just look at her! We'd lock that up pretty quick too!
Elizabeth Barry Smith (Wife of 49ers QB Alex Smith)
Image via mandatory.com
Smith may have lost his starting gig, but the former No. 1 overall pick has quite the hot lady to come home to and ease his pains with.
We have a feeling that he's never second-string with her around.
Racine Lewin (Girlfriend of 49ers TE Delanie Walker)
Image via playerwives.com
Walker plays tight end on the football field, but judging by this pic of his chick, he prefers his ladies require a, well, tight end for him to grab onto.
The curves on Racine are just absolutely phenomenal.
Tiffany Hughley (Girlfriend of 49ers WR Mario Manningham)

Yes, Manningham is on IR after tearing knee ligaments, but that doesn't mean he's still not a huge part of the squad.
Here's to hoping his smokeshow girlfriend Tiffany helps him in his rehab.
Dana Grady (Wife of Ravens QB Joe Flacco)
Image via athleteswives.com
Flacco is constantly trying to prove to fans and media that he's an elite QB, but whether or not he actually does earn that praise, we give him his dap for snagging wife Dana.
She's definitely his No. 1 receiver.
Corban Fennel (Ex-Girlfriend of 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick)
Image via blacksportsonline.com
We know that Corban and Colin aren't together anymore—with Kaep apparently preferring a big booty girl—but she's hot, plain and simple, so we give her due.
Candace Williams (Wife of Ravens LB Terrell Suggs)
Image via playerwives.com
Though Suggs had some differences with his now wife, slipping a rock on that finger will always ease any pain or arguments they've had in the past.
Chanel Williams (Girlfriend of Ravens WR Torrey Smith)
Image via zimbio.com
Torrey Smith has had a really tough year, but has risen above it and proven that he's not only persevered through it all, but he's also a pretty damn good receiver too.
There's no doubt the support from his girl helped him stay positive.
Sarah Harbaugh (Wife of 49ers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh)
Image via thebiglead.com
Though Layla Kiffin is generally looked at as the hottest WAG of a head coach, it's not hard to see why we toss Sarah's name around in that conversation too.
Carrie Dew (Wife of 49ers OL Joe Staley)
Image via bayareasportsguy.com
When we first saw this pic of the lineman's wife, we thought to ourselves, "Okay, she's cute."
But once we found out Carrie's a women's professional soccer player, we kind of fell in love with her even more.
Sporty, sexy and blonde? We'll take it.
Michael Crabtree's Random Girl
Image via balleralert.com
We looked everywhere we could to try and crack the code on who this girl is, or if she's even in some way involved with the Niners wideout.
After seeing a couple pics of the two of them together though, we're including her because she's a complete dimepiece, regardless of relationship status.
Christina Ngata (Wife of Ravens DL Haloti Ngata)
Image via playerwives.com
Haloti's a beast on the field, routinely tossing aside blockers and eating up space for his teammates to make plays, but off the field, you can tell he's nothing but a big softy.
We're sure having a girl who looks like Christina will do that to a guy.
Deidra Dorsey (Supposed Girlfriend of Ravens LB Courtney Upshaw)
Image via playerwives.com
Looks like Upshaw has had a couple different ladies he's squired around town over the years, but his main girl is currently Deidra, who seems to love sharing their relationship all over social media.
Adrianna Birk (Wife of Ravens OL Matt Birk)
Image via playerwives.com
If you would have told us that the burly lineman would have landed himself a full-fledged hottie like Adrianna, we honestly would have called your bluff.
Real recognizes real though, so we salute the Harvard grad for getting a definite winner.
Tocarra Jones (Girlfriend of Ravens OL Bryant McKinnie)
Image via picsdrive.com
Tocarra's a model that the behemoth lineman is pretty happy to have scored.
She's been attacked for her weight fluctuating over the years, but we think she looks fine in this pic, so let her do her.
Shenae Saifi (Girlfriend of 49ers LB Patrick Willis)
Image via playerwives.com
Willis is one of the top linebackers in the NFL, earning a Pro Bowl invite in each of his first six seasons in the league.
So it's no wonder he's able to tackle a girl as hot as Shenae when he's not tackling the opposition.
When a guy like Ray Lewis gives you praise for your football skills, that's pretty impressive, but when every guy tells you how hot your girlfriend is, that probably feels pretty good too.
Sarah Hinton (Girlfriend of 49ers TE Garrett Celek)
Image via trifame.com
There's no denying the fact that Celek has earned himself one of the sports' best new WAGS.
Let's see here, she's blonde, has incredible sex appeal, is a former Hooters bikini model, and looks unbelievable in every picture taken of her.
Celek might not be scoring many touchdowns on the field, but he scored the ultimate touchdown when catching Sarah.

Footnote Theatre
Chrometoaster is a long-standing supporter of Footnote – New Zealand's national contemporary dance company. Since 2004 we have been providing award-winning creative for their promotional material, corporate collateral and website.
Working with the photography of Dean Zillwood, the evocative designs celebrate the spirit, energy and uniqueness of each dance season. For example, the 2010 Forte Series imagery was created from a photo shoot earlier in the year. The combination of bold, quirky typography, vibrant colours and playful imagery demanded a second look. Designed with the street paste up in mind, the up and down 'movement' of the posters also reflected the essence of Footnote's captivating contemporary dance.
Footnote's established Made in New Zealand season brings together emerging and well respected New Zealand talent to create and perform new dance works that are 100% home grown.
The diptych uses dancers captured in positions of the North and South Islands. This concept communicated both the name of the season and how the programme was developed – the coming together of the choreographic/dance team and musicians to make performances that celebrate New Zealand dance.

Larry Hagman's Heaven, Estate of the Day
The home is designed for entertaining, there is a guest house and an open but covered space fits more than 200 guests with a lap pool and retractable roof. Hagman may have played an oil tycoon on television but the home is equipped with a huge solar polar system which sliced his electric bill to pennies and enabled him to sell back electricity to the town. The home also has its own helipad.
The property is designed to take advantage of views of the Pacific ocean, Channel Islands, mountains and valley and sliding glass walls offering unobstructed views. This home hit the market last November for $11 million but as the Wall Street Journal reports it is now listed at $9.5 million.

Original Message
Ok,this event has stuck with me over the years and I have thought about it nearly every day since it happened. I would definitely consider it top 3 weirdest things that have ever happened to me.
My dad was a Secret Service agent (recently retired) and because of this, I was "privileged" enough to meet a lot of our Presidents/V.P's/dignitaries/etc. None of the times I met any of them was very significant, except for this one:
We went to the White House Christmas Party in December of 2001. I was 18 or 19 at the time (my birthday is the 12th and I don't remember what day the party was), and was a recently converted Christian (I got saved at about 4am on 9/11/2001, but that is a different story). All of the families of the staff and secret service agents got to go to this party, and have their picture taken with President Bush and the First Lady, and we were all standing in line to go in for the picture, before the dinner. The room where they were taking the pictures was a rather large meeting room with nothing in it besides a large Christmas tree, the Bush's, an aid or two and the photographers (and a few SS agents). When we were next in line to go into the room, I heard the President say my name from around the corner "Dan, where is Dan?", the way an uncle would say that before he saw you and then say "there he is" (my name is not Dan, changed for the story). Apparently, (I am assuming this because I have never asked him) my dad told the aid that was taking us into the room my name, and she told the President, and he just said that to try and be affable or friendly or whatever.
I thought right off the bat that was weird because my two brothers were there too, but he only said my name, so I am not sure why my dad only told him my name (if in fact my dad told the aid that).
As we walked around the corner into the room, that is when things took a terrible turn. As I rounded the corner my eyes scanned the room, the first thing I noticed was Laura Bush, smiling, warm and friendly looking. Then I saw President Bush, who, once again said "which one is Dan?" smiling his goofy smile. My dad introduced me first, because he was asking for me, and I will never forget what happened next. His face went from a kidding-around, smiling, joking demeanor to hard and frowning in an instant. The best way I could describe his reaction was if someone introduced you to a person as "here is the person that killed your father". The smile dropped immediately. His face went from friendly and jesting to anger, disgust and almost a "I can't believe you let him in here" type of look. I felt my face flush as I shook his hand and smiled, but inside I wanted to run away as fast as I could. He didn't say a word to me, just stared me down. I have never felt as awkward in my entire life as I did at that moment, and so out of place. The rest of my family shook his hand and his smile and joking manner returned, and I am almost positive that no one else saw what happened, because if they did I am sure they would have said something about it by now. As we walked out of the room I looked back over my shoulder (I was almost in a state of shock at this point) and he was staring at me with that same death-look on his face. We went back into the dining hall and finished dinner, and the whole time it was all that I could think about. "What just happened?!" "Was that real?!" "Did he see some kind of evil in me?!" type questions poured through my thoughts over and over.
Also that night, George H.W. Bush came to the dinner for just a second, said hi, and left. But as he was leaving, he went over to my brother and rubbed his shaved head, making my brother turn a beet-red color and all of the people standing around laughed hysterically. I would have laughed too, if I hadn't been so shaken up by what just happened to me. Instead, I just sat in silence the rest of the night, completely disoriented as to what took place.
Looking back on the whole thing I still have tons of questions that I cannot come up with answers to, like:
If my dad didn't tell him my name, how did he know it?
If my dad did tell him, why did he just tell him my name?
Why did his look/demeanor/everything about him change so violently?
Did my family notice? If so, why have they never said anything about it?
Assuming it did happen like I remember it (which if it didn't I am officially crazy), what does it mean!?!?!
Is it possible that he saw in me something that triggered him to know that I would discover the truth about the NWO,9/11, etc?
Did it have anything to do with me being a Christian? I have read how the devils knew who Jesus was, and even one said "Paul we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?"
Is it possible that it was a demon-type situation that recognized a child of God and got offended?
At the time, I thought he was a stand-up guy, that was a Christian and was going to save our nation from the terrorists that did the attacks on our soil. I know now the truth about 9/11 (I found Loose Change in 2006 and have been researching it since then), and that he was likely a big part of the attacks, not the one to save us from them. Like I said, I think about this nearly every day and still have more questions than answers. Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it, anyone else have similar experiences or any insight into what happened to me? Thanks for reading GLP, you guys rock!

Zaurus Java FAQ
From OESF
Where did this Java FAQ come from?
- This FAQ has been contributed by Gerald J. Normandin Jr.
It has been found at http://adorphuye.com/zaurus/java/faq.jsp
The original author of this FAQ is Steph Meslin-Weber, mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com. A fair number of people have also contributed in various ways by providing information, links or criticism:
- All the fine folks on the [zaurus-java] mailing list
- Andrew Girow
- Gurminder Khamba
- Jim Huang
- John Barrus
- Pierre MÈ tras
- Rehana Ramzan
- Steve Weyer
- Steve Yegge
- didge
- Leticia Golubov
- Peter Harverson
Java Extensions
What extensions?
- Java language extensions provide added functionality to the core Java api.
When Java 1.1 was released, additional extensions (Swing, Collections) were also released to make up for gaps in the api coverage.
As each new Java version ships, these extensions get included into the core api. Currently on the Zaurus, only PersonalJava 1.2 - equivalent to Java 1.1 - is available, and so we start looking at the api extensions for extra functionality. </ul>
Can I use Secure Sockets on the Zaurus?
- Thanks to Steve Weyer for providing this answer. So, at the expense of a bulky library, we can indeed use JSSE on the Zaurus.
From Steve Weyer:
(non JSSE things snipped)
regarding extensions, Sun's JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extensions) 1.0.2 works fine with PJ on Z. this allows https: connections among other things. I've used with my CrozzWord app for secure login to NYTimes subscription area. downside: it's ~420K </ul>
Can I use SVG on the Zaurus?
- Yes, it is now possible to use SVG on the Zaurus and indeed, on any J2ME/PersonalJava VM. I have tested TinyLine 1.2 on the Zaurus using the demo kindly sent to me by Andrew Girow and can say that it performs very well. Downloads for this latest version of TinyLine are available from the TinyLine website.
Here are a few screenshots to give you an idea of the demo:
Can I use Swing?
- Before reading the answer consider this: Swing uses floating point coordinate systems and transformations - the Zaurus is based on the ARM SA-1100 chipset which does not have a floating point unit. The net result is that any floating point operation has to be emulated and that's very slow.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Swing can be used on the Zaurus with the Jeode VM but you must use the unbundled Swing distribution1 and you must edit SwingUtilities.java in that distribution. This is due to a Swing bug2 that will not be fixed by Sun. Also note that certain parts of Swing use native code which is currently unavailable for the ARM platform; this means parts of Swing will not work.
Note: Because of the Sun License, I cannot redistribute modified Swing sources or jar files.
Instructions taken from the bugparade report2:
1. Extract the src.zip (from the swing-1.1.1fcs distribution). 2. in javax/swing you'll find the SwingUtilities.java file. 3. Open it your favorite editor 4. Comment out line 677:
Method m = Class.class.getMethod ("getProtectionDomain", null);
5. Insert the line
Method m = Class.class.getMethod ("getPackage", null);
just after the old one.
6. Save and compile (javac -classpath swingall.jar:. javax/swing/SwingUtilities.java) 7. Backup the Swingall.jar archive in the root of the exstracted src.zip (ie the same level of the javax and com dirs). 8. Jarize it (jar uvf swingall.jar javax/swing/SwingUtilities.class)
11Unbundled JFC 1.1 with Swing 1.1.1

What Classes can I use?
- Jeode supports the PersonalJava 1.2 Specification. As this specification is compatible with jdk1.1.8, you can make/port your program using the jdk1.1 classes. (It is apparently still possible to use JNI, obviously, use at your own discretion)
NOTE: This excludes all the J2SE Classes (Swing, JMF, JAI, etc)
What graphic file formats does Jeode support?
- The PersonalJava spec only requires gif, jpg and png support for compliance and so those formats are supported to some degree.

Can I develop ON the Zaurus?
- Absolutely!
The build-in keyboard makes this an ideal use for the Zaurus, although you'd probably be faster on a desktop machine. The keyboard on the Zaurus is not, in my opinion, intended for writing novels ;-)
Because of the limited memory footprint of the Zaurus you shouldn't expect to be able to run, say, NetBeans, but with an editor and a compiler you should be set to go!
So far, compilers that run on the Zaurus include Kopi and Jikes.
Editors can include:
- EIDE a small Java ide for the Zaurus
- Built-in Text editor
- Built-in VI
- tkcEditor
- kVim (not available yet)
Additionally, Pierre MÈ tras has written a HOWTO based on MinIDE+Kopi at http://www.alterna.tv/jsearch/. As this HOWTO is in French, I'm in the process of translating it into English - should be finished in a few days. (Current translation at here)
Can I play sounds using Java?
- Previously, people did not seem to have had any success using the normal Applet.play() methods, having limited success using the undocumented and unsupported sun.audio and writing directly to the /dev/dsp device using a FileOutputStream (thanks Ralph Curtis, John McDonnell and Henry Gunst).
This is now changing, with thanks to didge for the information:
I have been able to use the Java Media Frameworks to play sounds on my SL5500. Here are instructions:
Using JMF2.1.1b (the cross-platform version) to play .wav files on the Zaurus can be achieved by doing the following:
Create your own custom.jar (using JMFCustomizer w/ jdk1.4). Check the following items:
- Media Source: Media Files, RTP Receive
- Media Sink: Play
- Optional Component: Player bean
- Protocol: file, rtp
- Source Media Formats: Wav
- Decoder/Audio Decoders: none
- Decoder/Video Decoders: none
- Encoder/Audio Encoders: none
- Decoder/Video Encoders: none
- DePacketizer/Audio DePacketizers: none
- DePacketizer/Video DePacketizers: none
- Packetizer/Audio Packetizer: PRTP_MP3/2
- Packetizer/Video Packetizer: none
- Audio Renderer: SunAudio
- Video Renderer: none
Make sure that custom.jar and jmf.properties are located in your classpath. Additionally, you will need to start Jeode with the following arguments:
- -Djeode.evm.memory.overallSize=5m
- -bootclasspath #SYSTEM#:$CLASSPATH
Any caveats or things I should watch out for?
- There are a few things to watch out for when developing or releasing for the Zaurus...
- Watch that ipk filename! It should be all lowercase and follow the naming conventions that ipkg-build warns you about.
- Images in memory are in 16bpp... bear that in mind when loading them for display. Use tiling and progressive loading to save on memory as images such as (one screen full) 320x240x16bpp = 153kb, (digital camera resolution) 1600x1200x16bpp = 3,840kb!
- Ensure that the control file in an ipk has the all the required fields, it won't show up otherwise!
- Use unix newline characters to terminate lines in control/.desktop/script files! (unix='n', windows='nr') (thanks to Ralph Curtis)
What class libraries are available for the Zaurus?
- There are a few class libraries available for the Zaurus, and indeed for PersonalJava and J2ME. As a rule of thumb, the majority of Java 1.1 libraries will work without problem - this is of course not taking performance or size into consideration.
Lightweight AWT GUI toolkits (or why be stuck with AWT?)
- Thinlets (~24k, slow, attractive)
- ICEToolkit (~120k, slow)
- Dog.Gui (~356k, fast)
- [1] (sluggish)
- KFC (~570k, fast)
- Zaval lwvcl (~130k, fast)
XML Parsers (or why make do with properties files?)
Databases (or why settle for flat files?)
- Hypersonic SQL aka hsqldb (~110k, Java1.1/1.2, JDBC)
- SQLite (native ODBC bindings)
Cryptography (or why keep things simple?)
Problems with java.util.Date & Co.
- I recently got some questions regarding this, and here are some snippets from the ZaurusZone forums, from the user kevinlong - when the forums are back online, I'll also provide a direct link:
Posted: April 21 2002,19:21
It appears there maybe a problem accessing the time on the device. I've tried using both the Date() and the GregorianCalendar() classes.
This problem appears to be dependent on which city you select. For example, if you select Chicago or Los Angeles, the time appears to return correctly. However, if you select a city such as Kansas City, Oslo, Hong Kong, the time returned is the GMT time instead of the local time. In other words, the GMT time and local time are the same. When you query the time zone offset, it is 0.
I should note that the time always appears correctly in the sytem tray on the device.
Any ideas?

I have been exchanging emails with Sharp (Japan). They have located the problem in the Insignia code. They are waiting on a fix or work around from Insignia.
In short, Java supports a much smaller list of cities than the Zaurus. When a city isn't found, it defaults to GMT for the time zone. Oooops!
I will post an update when I get a final response from Sharp and Insignia.
Posted: May 11 2002,23:58
I have heard back from Sharp regarding this problem. Insignia has stated they only support the following cities: Africa/Casablanca Europe/Paris Africa/Cairo Asia/Riyadh Asia/Tehran Asia/Yerevan Asia/Karachi Asia/Calcutta Asia/Dacca Asia/Bangkok Asia/Shanghai Asia/Tokyo Australia/Darwin Australia/Sydney Pacific/Guadalcanal Pacific/Fiji Pacific/Apia Pacific/Honolulu America/Anchorage America/Los_Angeles America/Denver America/Chicago America/New_York America/Caracas America/St_Johns America/Buenos_Aires America/Sao_Paulo Atlantic/Cape_Verde America/Costa_Rica Asia/Beirut Africa/Johannesburg Asia/Jerusalem Europe/Moscow Asia/Vladivostok Australia/Hobart
Sharp has told me that Insignia does not plan to fix it. Even though they are under contract to Sharp, Sharp is not going to press Insignia to fix it.
If you would like this fixed, I would recommend that email is sent to both Sharp and Insignia. The developer support email for Sharp is firstname.lastname@example.com. I could not find a support email for Insignia.
Hopefully, if enough people complain, they will get this problem fixed.
I agree that this is an issue that should be resolved. The Zaurus is after all an international device. </ul>
Can I learn Java on the Zaurus?
- Like all things, this is of course possible BUT:
One thing I'd like to make clear is that I don't think any PDA is suitable for learning Java (and quite likely other languages).
You need a flexible environment and be able to debug, type and browse documentation easily and fast. You won't be able to do all that on a PDA.
The Java tutorial at Sun isn't a 400-page book, it has valid examples for you to work with and very good explanations, as well as instructions on getting Java working on the desktop OS of your choice: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html
Java on the Zaurus is still pretty much stuck at version 1.1, this means that once you've learnt the Java syntax, get hold of a 1.1 Java sdk and use this for development on your desktop. It's of course possible to use later versions for this, but doing so may lead to more headaches further on.
I, like most others, do my Java development on the desktop in any case - the compiled code will (should) run without modification on the Zaurus if you work within the Java 1.1 specs. So there isn't a dire need for tools for use on the Zaurus. This is not to say there aren't any - there are quite a few: 2 compilers, 2 virtual machines (2 more on the way), 3 IDEs and countless class libraries that work perfectly fine on the small form factor.
So with regards to development tools for use on the Z, I'd say hold on, learn Java first :-)
I heartily recommend the #java channel on irc.freenode.net for help with learning Java, make sure you've read the Java tutorial first though - you'll get flak if you don't ;-) </ul>

How to Get the Best Computer Services in Hubbard, OR
If you've ever had a computer you no doubt know how important choosing the best computer service really is. Computers are constantly evolving, improving and, unfortunately, running into problems. Whether you're establishing a new network or trying to keep an older system installed and operating, one thing is certain. Eventually computer services might be required.
What Type of Computer Services Do You Need?
Computers are complex items that need a fair amount of updating, installing and fixing. Before you can get your computer running smoothly you need to decide which type of computer service in Hubbard will suit your needs best.
Computer repair services – Computers are a great convenience but when they need repair it can make life very difficult. If you've ever had a computer in need of repair then you know how important finding the right computer repair service really is. Computer repair services can fix virtually any issue you're having and can be done remotely or on site.
On site computer service – On site computer services refer to times when a technician must come to your home or business to work on your personal computer. This is commonly needed if you have a hardware issue or computer systems are being set up.
Computer network services – If you have or want to set up multiple computers that are connected to share information and communicate on a network then computer network services will likely be needed.
Computer consulting services – Many people who call themselves computer consultants specialize in computer programming and systems administration. Some computer consultants work as full-time employees for various companies while others work independently for hire on short-term jobs. People who own businesses and computer networks in Hubbard are more likely to need computer consulting services.
Choosing a Computer Service Technician in Hubbard
Hubbard computer service technicians help people with all sorts of technical issues and requirements. Computer service technicians can work on hardware and software and also work to set up installations or make repairs on existing systems.
As imaginable, computer technicians in Hubbard, OR can either be highly specialized in one sort of service or be knowledgeable in a range of computer-related topics. Regardless, any computer service technician you use should have certifications that prove they are knowledgeable enough to meet your preferences. Ask the computer service technician to provide evidence of their certifications, education and experience.
If you use an established company rather than an independent Hubbard computer service technician they should have already done this for you. They may also guarantee their work and merchandise which safeguards you from having to pay another computer service technician if the first one can't finish the same job.

The Red Wings took Monday off to rest and recover from demanding travel and expect to be at least one body healthier by their next game. General manager Ken Holland said Monday that he expects forward Damien Brunner to play Thursday, when the Wings host the San Jose Sharks. Brunner has missed three games because of a sore hip flexor he said had been bothering him for several games before he last played April 1. His goal that night was his first in 16 games, but he's still second on the team with 11 tallies. With Brunner's return on the horizon, the Red Wings shipped Riley Sheahan back to Grand Rapids on Monday.

Foreign exchange and trade
Currency exchange introduction Introduction to how exchange rates can fluctuate
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- What I want to do in this video is to give you an intuitive sense of how a market for currencies would actually work.
- And it's very nonintuitive for a lot of people.
- Because we're going to be talking about currencies becoming more expensive or cheaper —
- or the price of a currency [becoming more expensive or cheaper] in terms of another one.
- And what I just want to do is give you a very intuitive feel for that.
- So let's say — just because it's a hot topic right now —
- let's just make the two currencies the Chinese renminbi and the U.S. dollar.
- And the unit of exchange — and China's a little confusing —
- Because sometimes they use the word "renminbi" — sometimes they use the word "Yuan."
- The Yuan is the unit of [exchange for] the renminbi.
- So let's say right now, if I were to just go on some website —
- And this is not the actual exchange rate right now.
- But let's say, right now, the quoted exchange rate is 10 Yuan per U.S. dollar.
- 10 Yuan is equal to 1 US dollar.
- And every time I say "dollar" in this video, I'm referring to the US dollar. ( — is equal to 1 US dollar.)
- I think this makes sense to a lot of people.
- If I have one dollar, [and] I want to convert it to Yuan, I get 10 of them [Yuan].
- If I have 10 Yuan and I want to convert [them] to dollars, someone is going to give me a dollar for [them].
- Now let's imagine a situation —
- (And in the next few videos, I'll construst actual trade imbalances where this would actually happen.)
- But let's say we live in a reality where there are 1,000 —
- — so let's say someone has 1,000 Yuan.
- So let's say that this person right here has 1,000 Yuan — and wants to convert to dollars.
- Now, let's say, on this side —
- And if we just superficially looked at this 1000 Yuan — and looked at the quoted rate,we'd say
- "Hey, that 1000 Yuan — you divide, you get 10 Yuan/dollar, so that should be a hundred dollars, at the quoted rate."
- Let's say you have two other actors over here.
- And obvioulsy, this market involves many, many more than just three people.
- But this will help us simplify or at least understand, how these exchange rates would work.
- Let's say that this person right here —
- let's say that this person right here with the mustache —
- let's say that this person right over there, and maybe a hat as well —
- Let's say that he has 50 dollars — he has 100 dollars that he needs to convert to Yuan.
- Maybe he wants to buy some Chinese goods.
- Maybe he is a Chinese factory owner who sold his goods in the US for 100 dollars.
- And now he needs to convert it back to Yuan to pay his employees
- or pay his own mortgage, or who knows what.
- And let's say that there's another person — Let's say there's another character over here.
- And let's say that she also she also has a hundred that needs to be converted into Yuan.
- So, net-net, what's happening here?
- What's the total demand to convert Yuan into dollars, and dollars into Yuan?
- Well, if you look at the whole market, you have $200 that need to be converted into Yuan.
- So let me write this down.
- We have a situation where 200 dollars need to be converted into Yuan.
- And then, on the other side of that transaction, we have 1000 Yuan that need to be converted into dollars.
- So, now we have 1,000 Yuan need to be converted into dollars.
- And for simplicity, these are the only actors. They are representing the entire market.
- Although, as we know, in currency markets especially, there are thousands — or even millions —
- of actors actively participating in them.
- So what's going to happen?
- All of these people might just go on the Internet, and look up the current exchange rate
- or the last exchange that occurred — and [say]
- "Hey, you know what, me over here, this $100, I should be able to convert into a 1000 Yuan."
- But she also says "I should be able to convert this 100 dollars into a thousand Yuan."
- So they collectively think that that 200 dollars can be converted into 2000 Yuan.
- So I'll put this in question marks.
- So will they be able to convert this into 2000 Yuan?
- And on this person over here, he's saying, "Well, just at the current exchange rate
- maybe I'll be able to get for my thousand yuan — maybe I'll get 100 dollars."
- But everyone wants to maximize the amount of the other currency they get — for obvious reasons.
- They want to maximize the amount of money they get.
- Now. Will these 2 people be able to convert their money into 2000 Yuan?
- Remember. What I said is that this is the entire market.
- It's a huge [over]simplification.
- But there is this imbalance here: more dollars into Yuan than Yuan into dollars.
- Now, they won't be able to convert into 2,000 Yuan, because there's only 1,000 Yuan that wants to be traded.
- (There's only 1,000 Yuan that wants to be traded.)
- So you could imagine, this guy over here, maybe he wants to do it slowly, just to kind of see what the market is like.
- So, let's say, at first he puts 10 Yuan up — essentially for bid.
- You could do it either way.
- You could say that maybe one of these people put a dollar up for bid.
- And this guy is bidding on that dollar in terms of Yuan.
- Or this guy is putting Yuan up for bid.
- And these guys are going to bid on it in terms of dollars.
- Either one. And that's why it's sometimes confusing with currency.
- It's because you are buying another currency.
- But since this guy['s currency] is more in demand —
- To simplify things, I'll make him the person that's kind of able to create an auction-type situation —
- which really is what the markets are trying to do, so that you can equalize supply and demand.
- So he might put out — he might initially say: "Hey, you know what? I want to convert —"
- He has 100 Yuan, and he wants to convert it.
- So he says, "You know what? I'm willing to sell 100 Yuan for $10."
- So, let's say he sells 100 Yuan for 10 dollars.
- So he sells 100 — or offers, I should say — offers to sell 100 Yuan for 10 dollars.
- She just thinks that's a fair offer price, right over there.
- And that's this guy over here, this guy actually converting yuan into dollars.
- Well, what's going to happen?
- Well, one of these people are just going to jump at that.
- They say, "Oh. You know what? I think that's a fair price."
- And so, let's say, this woman right over here takes it.
- Actually both of them, maybe, saw that offer to sell 100 Yuan for 10 dollars.
- And they both tried to click their mouse, or however they're trying to make the transaction [happen].
- But let's say she clicks her mouse a little faster, and she gets the transaction.
- So let's say — Let's call this Person B, and this is Person A, and this is Person C.
- So Person B accepts. So two things happened just then.
- One is, Person C says, "Well, that was pretty fast."
- "Someone was very willing to take it for 10 yuan per US dollar."
- And then this guy goes, "Oh my! I need to convert my money into Yuan; but I wasn't able to."
- "Someone else beat me to the punch!"
- So this guy over here is like, "Hey, maybe people are willing to give me more dollars per yuan."
- So, let's say that this guy right over here — this guy in orange — he then offers to sell.
- Let's say he wants to sell 90 yuan for 10 dollars.
- Notice. The price of the Yuan has now gone up — or the price of the dollar has now gone down.
- Either one, those are symmetric statements. They mean the exact same thing.
- So, all of a sudden, this person has a lot of dollars he needs to convert into Yuan.
- So he accepts really fast. So, person A accepts.
- And I'm doing a huge oversimplification.
- But it gives you the general idea to show you that this really is a market.
- So Person A accepts.
- All of a sudden we have a new quoted exchange rate.
- All of a sudden we have an exchange rate of —
- What is this? — 9 Yuan.
- So we have [a] new quoted rate — or the transaction happens at 9 Yuan per dollar.
- Now, what's happening?
- And I think you see the dynamic that is going to happen.
- There are more dollars that need to be converted into Yuan than Yuan that need to be converted into dollars
- So, this guy — as he sees that there's a lot of demand to get his 1000 Yuan —
- he's going to keep offering fewer and fewer Yuan per dollar.
- Or, these guys are going to start accepting fewer and fewer Yuan for each of their dollars.
- So, as this happens, the price of the Yuan will go up.
- Notice: the price of Yuan went up here.
- It was 10 Yuan per dollar; now it is 9 Yuan per dollar.
- Or you can say that the price of the dollar has gone down.
- And this will just keep happening until all of them are able to get rid of their currency.
- It's actually dependent.
- There's no mathematical formula to say what the clearing price is.
- It's actually dependent on how badly each of these people are willing to transact
- and really how good they are at gaming each other.
- But the general results here — and this is what I really want you to get from this video
- is that because there's no law in a market exchange rate mechanism that says,
- "This has to be the exchange rate" — we'll explore how you can peg it in the future
- but there's nothing that says that this has to always be the case.
- If there's more demand for Yuan than dollars — as we see in this example —
- the price of the dollar will go down.
- I'll do this in a — Price of dollar will go down. And then —
- which is the exact same thing — which means the exact same thing as,
- "The price of yuan will go up —"
- I really want you to internalize this.
- — will go up in terms of dollars.
- [The] price of dollars, in terms of Yuan, will go down.
- And this is the crux of foreign exchange.
- If you can, at least, internalize these ideas and understand that there really is this market out here,
- based on the supply and demand of Yuan.
- Over here, the demand for Yuan is exceeding its supply so price will go up, and —
- Or you can do it the other way.
- The demand for dollars is below its supply. So, the price will go down.
- Anyway, I'll let you think about that for a little bit.
- And in the next video, we're going to apply this concept to see how this freely floating exchange rate

This will be the thread for the sickle study group. We'll post info here on our progress and what we're up to.
We're working from Paulus Hector Mair's sickle plates using this version: http://www.noorderwind.org/documents/PH ... lation.pdf
We're looking for any previous interpretations to help us out, though I think we can make it work with at least the first two plates (which I've looked at pretty closely now). Here's some youtube material I trust:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmy7OCUI ... re=related (This is the MEMAG interpretation. Cory is on the Curriculum Council).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3NTWUkG ... re=related (I don't know about Dreynschlag, but this looks fairly well detailed).
I have a handful of others, but that's a good start. There isn't a whole lot out there on this, frankly.
And one I'm not sure about yet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5M2x1Zi ... re=related (No idea about this; haven't reviewed it yet, but it is manual based at least).
We need some safe trainers, as well. Brian found a non-offset Seymour Grass Hook, which is just a serrated sickle: http://www.amazon.com/Seymour-Mfg-2G-49 ... B0000DI82F
It's the one on the top right. There are two ways do go about this: either use it as a model for a plywood version (ghetto, but probably effective), or blunt it with a grinder, cover the edge with hose, and tape the whole thing so that you've got a safe metal version. I don't know if it could be sufficiently blunted to make it safe without the hose and tape bit; if so, I'd be willing to do that.
Brian--any luck on the plywood sickles this weekend?

In my testing, 32KB blocks (the default for amanda) yielded only about 27MB/s (in line with your 8KB blocks above) while 2M blocks got me to 60MB/s (all testing done with tar and a very fast disk system). Note that I couldn't go much bigger than 2M or I started getting errors like "/dev/nst1: Cannot write: Value too large for defined data type". > this is about 8 GB, so it hopefully shouldn't take too long.

Burning incense may or may not help the speed, YMMV... In addition, 2x hardware compression is almost always a lovely fairly tale with absolutely no basis in reality. That said, the LTO hardware compression is rather nice, in that it recognizes uncompressible data and doesn't try to further compress it. And, as always, be sure you used the proper color goat in your ceremonies. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF

Risk assessment
Economy stimulated by port activity
Growth depends heavily on the expansion of port activity. Djibouti wants to become the trade hub for its landlocked neighbours, in particular Ethiopia and Southern Sudan. In 2012 the country benefited from instability in Yemen to increase its market share at the expense of its main rival in the region, the port of Aden, and from strong activity in Ethiopia, whose trade transits chiefly through Djibouti. This led, however, to recurrent periods of traffic congestion.
In 2013, growth is likely to be driven by the momentum of the Ethiopian economy as well as the port operator Dubai Ports World's decision to continue extending the container terminal at the country's main port, Doraleh. The gradual start of operations at the deep-water port of Tadjourah, inaugurated in late 2012 and located near the Ethiopian border will also boost port activity. FDIs, accounting for about 10% of GDP, make up the second driver of growth: investors are attracted by Djibouti's strategic position and its free-trade area. They are financing the development of communication channels linking the ports to neighbouring Ethiopia, an airport, as well as construction of a geothermal power plant expected to start up in several years time. The latter project should encourage a reduction in energy imports, mainly from Ethiopia. Construction and services, especially financial or tourism-related, also contribute to growth.
Small deficit cuts, public debt level still worrying
Improved tax collection, especially of VAT and business tax, has slowly reduced the fiscal deficit, which remains high, however, especially because of price subsidies on staples. The government is hoping that this reduction will retain IMF confidence regarding a possible new disbursement of funds in 2013. The 2013 budget sets out a social development policy costing $50mn, or 5% of GDP, aimed at improving public health, reducing urban poverty and supporting rural populations. The country also relies on grants from abroad, which are likely to remain important, as the donors, too, are responsive to the country's geostrategic position.
Nevertheless, public debt is at a high level, two-thirds of which are held by multilateral creditors. The government will accordingly only be able to borrow on concessional terms.
Current account deficit financed by substantial FDIs
The trade balance will continue to post a deficit, particularly due to the high volume of imports of capital goods needed for the construction of new infrastructures, as well as imports of energy. Exports consist mainly of re-exports, especially from Ethiopia and will increase in 2013 as port traffic expands. The large current account deficit is easily covered by the important volume of FDIs from a myriad of investors, especially from the Gulf (Dubai in particular), as well as by external borrowing.
Firm political support of western powers
President Guelleh, elected in 2011, has promoted an authoritarian regime, bolstered by the appointment of relatives to key government posts and control over the media. This situation gives rise to a mediocre governance and business environment: pernickety regulations and major shortcomings in the legal system. Pervasive high unemployment, made worse by the fact that new infrastructure construction is not really creating jobs for local people, means social risks cannot be ignored. Poverty thus affects over half of the population. Externally, Djibouti relies very largely on the financing and presence of French, American and Japanese troops, as the country is at the heart of western strategy in the fight against maritime piracy in the Gulf of Aden.

The Unknown Horizons strategy game
Beyond the Horizon
Colonizing new territory, processing raw materials, and trading goods are ingredients for popular strategy games. This genre is served on Linux by the free Unknown Horizons project.
The principles behind the Unknown Horizons game are reminiscent of Ubisoft's popular free "Anno" strategy game series, and that's no coincidence, because Unknown Horizons is a clone of this popular series. The Anno games have been extremely popular for many years, but because the manufacturer has studiously ignored Linux, a few fans summarily started work on a clone in 2005. Now, thanks to dedicated developers, it is growing into a worthy competitor.

2012 Boat of the Year Winners: A Classy Class of New Boats
There's plenty to consider when looking at the lineup of new sailboats visited by our Boat of the Year panel of expert judges. "Boat of the Year" from our January 2012 issue.
There's no doubt about it, these are challenging economic times, and of course the boatbuilding and marine industries are in no way immune to roller-coaster international markets and politicos who can't seem to agree on where to go for lunch, never mind how to steer us out of this mess. So when we sent out our call for entries for our annual Boat of the Year competition last summer, we did so with no small sense of both trepidation and curiosity. Exactly who, we wondered, would show up? And how many boats would they be bringing?
As it turned out, we needn't have worried. Not even a little bit.
At the risk of tooting our collective horn, we sailors, of course, are a resilient lot, and so too are the men and women—not surprisingly, sailors all—who produce the vessels to which we invest our waterborne dreams, goals, and aspirations, not to mention our hard-earned dollars. And for 2012, despite the realities of financial uncertainties, there's no other way of saying it: the builders and designers not only met our hopeful expectations for a good turnout of interesting new models, they far exceeded them.
How so? Well, let's begin with the sheer numbers. All things considered, we would've been delighted with a fleet of 19 boats, our total tally for 2011. So it's no exaggeration to say that we were more than a bit excited when our final list of nominees for 2012—the Class of '12—registered a surprising 22 yachts. But as our judging panel convened in Annapolis, Maryland, last October, to start inspecting and testing the list of contenders—and we began, so to speak, to peel back the layers of the onions—it wasn't the quantity of boats that was impressive, but the overall quality of the field.
Frankly, when times are tough, consumers expect (and deserve) more for their money, and partly for that reason, and partly because in recent years the larger production builders have ratcheted up their games in terms of assembly-line efficiencies; new tools and technologies; and their incorporation of top-of-the-line materials, systems, and hardware, we expected a lot from the major brands.
And across the board, they delivered.
With a fresh infusion of capital and entrepreneurial energy, Bavaria USA—the new stateside arm of the German builder—introduced not one but a quartet of new models from the distinguished office of Farr Yacht Design. Beneteau, with a cool and consistent look to their revamped Oceanis line, showcased a pair of new boats. Not to be outdone, Jeanneau—which resides under the same corporate umbrella as Beneteau—had a trio of new boats in the water.
Continuing on the stateside front (both the Beneteaus and Jeanneaus are now fabricated in South Carolina), a very complete roster of domestic boats from established and even beloved brands—Catalina, Island Packet, and Tartan—were all proudly stamped with "Made in the U.S.A." (as was a flash newcomer, the PT-11 Sport Tri, built in Rhode Island). And on the overseas side, the fleet was represented by a veritable United Nations of imports from the following lands: China (Passport Vista 545 CC), France (Dufour Grand' Large 445, J/108, Outremer 49), South Africa (Leopard 44, Nexus 600), Sweden (Hallberg-Rassy 372), and the United Kingdom (Mystery 35). Trend-wise, hard chines, stable hulls, voluminous interior layouts, and multiple shoal draft/deep keel options are all in. Boring? That's out.
Included in this wrap-up of the 2012 Boat of the Year contest is a look at the judges and the judging process; consumer picks; profiles of the slate of winners (linked to the winners in each category below); and capsule summaries of other contenders. But first, here's a breakdown of the five categories for this year's fleet:
Compact Cruisers, 30 to 35 Feet
Sometimes, it's a difficult task to fairly categorize the BOTY field, but 2012 was not one of those years. No, the monohull fleet broke down neatly into four divisions of between four and six boats, designed along fairly similar lists of characteristics and objectives, at neat, five-foot intervals, the smallest of which was the Compact Cruiser class. For many of the boom years in the business, builders neglected smaller cruising boats because the profit margins of big yachts were too lucrative. Perhaps it took austerity for companies to again focus on good boats under 35 feet, but whatever the reason, it's a positive development. You don't need a 50-footer to take the family cruising.
All four boats are testaments to that fact. The Bavaria Cruiser 32, the smallest boat in the company's Cruiser line, which extends to 55 feet, is a nifty pocket cruiser with, according to judge Beth Leonard, an inviting interior. She said, "I really liked the general aesthetics down below: the stainless rails, the blond wood, the dark countertops. It's a little on the stark side but not so much that I didn't enjoy it. It's handsome and fairly warm."
Alvah Simon, whose first circumnavigation was aboard a simple plywood boat, still felt a natural affinity with the robustly built Mystery 35. "It has a classic style with one of those deep, long cockpits of yesteryear where you feel quite secure when you're nestled down in it," he said. "You can lean up against the enormously high cockpit coamings with a grip on the tiller and feel pretty safe."
As the deliberations continued, however, it became clear that in this division, it was a two-boat race. A strong contender was the versatile J/108. "I personally really like the shoal-draft centerboard concept, and I think it was very well done," said Ed Sherman. "They've set up the system so it's a pretty bulletproof application. And it's very easy and a lot of fun to sail."
When the final votes were cast, however, in terms of overall value and bang for the buck, the panel chose the Hunter e33 as the Best Compact Cruiser, 30 to 35 Feet.

Police trace baby Joseph's mother
11:43am Wednesday 28th August 2013 in News By Neil Watts
POLICE believe they have identified the mother of a baby who was found abandoned on the doorstep of a house in Worcester last month.
A woman in her 30s from Worcester was arrested yesterday along with a man, also in his 30s, on suspicion of child neglect.
The pair were questioned at length and released on police bail later the same day pending further inquiries Baby Joseph was found in a hessian bag after the doorbell was rung at a house in the Columbia Drive area of Lower Wick at about 4.30am on Thursday, July 18.
He was thought to be about 24 hours old when found.
Detective Inspector Neil Austin, who led the search to find the mother, said: "We are all relieved that we believe we have finally traced Joseph's mother.
"I would like to thank the media and the public for all the support they shown for Joseph and for our efforts to find his mother.
"A number of calls from the public provided vital lines of inquiry and I would especially like to thank those people who responded to our appeals and told us about the concerns they had."
Det insp Austin added: "Our investigation into this case continues and we now have to look at whether those arrested have behaved in a criminal manner and whether it is in the public interest for them to be dealt with for any possible offences. We will be liaising with our partner agencies before any decisions are made.
"As we have arrested two people and a criminal investigation is underway, I cannot give any further details about the circumstances around this unfortunate case other than to say Joseph continues to thrive with the care he is being given."
After being cared for by midwives at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital, baby Joseph he was passed into the care of social services and is currently being looked after by foster parents.
Police and midwives made several appeals to the mother to come forward and for information from the public.

Hey guys,
I'm just wondering what tutorials you've found to be the most comprehensive and useful. Searching YouTube can be wearisome, as some videos may be very informative but stop after one or two tutorials, and some may have the information needed, but only after 30 minutes of slow going.
I was looking at the eat3D videos and some others out there. Are there any you recommend?

National -- week it's all very exciting.

Oh John it's nice to see you back from the -- list I missed you last week I mean the whole thing myself let me start with a song I'm not gonna -- it because -- -- different union the lyrics go like this it seems to me I've heard this long before it's from an old familiar score I know it well that melody we have seen this script so many times.
Particularly a democratic administrations they put the squeeze on people in order to get what they wanted 1920s Chicago style politics.
Barack Obama -- Al Capone and -- enforcers are out there Janet Napolitano making the lines longer at the airports and pretty soon before long the media will find a woman.
With a baby in her arms down to her last drop of milk and it's all those nasty Republicans -- she's crying and the Republicans -- So did -- but didn't mean that somebody standing up to this pretty well right now -- saw how late they did and essentially called the president's -- off.
Com and then in the coverage to me seems to being relatively evenhanded we I mean would that I've I've had a lot of media quote saying.
Those on the administration side who say that the -- a willful but I'm not sure anybody has actually put that there is a serious idea.
Well most of the major networks.
All three of them have to have taken the administration line and in terms -- is going to be our younger meat inspectors -- going to be laid off on your horse -- won't won't be as good -- -- has been before your burgers.
The lines of the airports are already getting longer.
All of these things now this is just initial this is the first.
We're out there will be others that the Republicans don't -- you can count on -- this is what the media does they will not question.
The the -- -- propriety.
Of the arguments being made.
This is always what they do not if the Republicans stand for -- among the ladies' reading -- Tracking poll has shown that the president's favorable ratings are now below 50%.
And -- unfavorable also are edging up now.
Too close to 50%.
I think it may have to change tactics -- -- right now what for more of the same coverage about a rival Bob Woodward business -- mentioned a segment.
Bob Woodward according to -- now has invited to a Gene Sperling the guy who denied and denied denied.
That it was -- sequestration was Obama's idea now it didn't hit.
And now boorda's invited us -- said bring along the president to my house for dinner isn't that cozy whatever happened to church state separation when you need it.
And yet that's for sure that I don't want you while you bring up though the would -- story.
And I cal I've always I've been in interest in this past week what your thoughts are it seemed to me like.
Really much ado about nothing and of Bob -- -- -- people isn't isn't big enough to stand up to be my.
Well all over the week on news watch I -- this -- when what word was bringing down Richard Nixon -- Carl Bernstein he was a Mother Teresa journalism he wasn't my -- he he deserved Pulitzer prizes Susie what is incredible when he went into -- interview -- -- -- Bill -- the former.

That's -- What I hope you have one with no panic that for the god I'm still in mourning ball I'm terribly sorry about look at.
