I've just published my 6502 code reorganizer which results in a better compression:
Last weekend I've finished my first CPLD experiment, which (of course) was an project for the C64. This small extension is a GeoRAM compatible RAM extension or a EasyFlash like extension. It's possible to switch between them via software. In other words you can use it as pure ram or load cartridges in the ram and play (instead of burning eprom modules).
- The files loaded/saved don't have an load address anymore!
- Simple file browser (cmd compatible)
- Keys reassigned (now matches the function)
- Layout optimized
- Help screen added
- Removed the "Modulgenerator"
- SMON or Multimonitor – your choice
With this small device you can reset your C64 by holding the Restore key down by 2 seconds.
All you need is an ATtiny and a little more, the price should be less than 2 EURO in total.
Code/Docs: C64 Reset by Restore
If you would like to have a language switch like I have, that can be done.
It's now available on wordpress.org: Multilingual Text

Do you ever wanted to open a file while logged in a remote server via ssh on your local TextWrangler/BBEdit? Now that's possible!
TextWrangler/BBEdit can open files per sftp (via ssh). This set of tools allows it you to launch edit
on a remote server, but your local TextWrangler/BBEdit opens the file.
Get it here: TextWrangler remote control
BBEdit: I haven't tested it, but it should also work. (I do not own BBEdit)
I don't like php's getopt function, because it's too crippled.
I've started a write a replacement function.
It has more options, is easier to handle and returns all non parameter arguments.
Fell free to use or improve it:

Update 2011-04-19: Added License and a small improvement.
I was wondering whether I should use int
, long
or NSInteger
. It took me a bit but I figured it out!
On OS X and iOS the following table shows you the the size of the types:
char 8 bit short 16 bit int 32 bit long system size long long 64 bit
So, on 32bit OS X long
is 32 bit, on 64bit OS X it's 64 bit (unsure for iOS).
has always the size of an pointer.
Often asked: "Use int or NSInteger?". Answer: use NSInteger
for pointers, ok usually you should use the pointer type itself, and for everything else use the size you require.
If you want exactly 8 bits, use int8_t
for sigend or uint8_t
for unsigned, for an integer which has at least those bits, use (u
(analogue for 16/32/64 bits).
Performance: you can use (u
for the fastest type, which can hold (u
. But since (u)int_leastY_t and (u)int_fastY_t are defined as (u)intY_t on OS X and iOS it should make no difference. I use the direct types for when all the bits are used, and the fast types when I don't use exactly but less bits.
At last: don't forget the LL
or ULL
suffix for 64bit constants (you can use (U
for always the correct suffix, also for 8/16/32), and the "%lld" in a formatted string for 64bit variables.
(example: NSLog(@"number: %lld", 1LL << 48);
If you have more information or maybe corrections, please post a comment.
A new release (v3.3-110) version from SmartMount is available.
Starting with the alpha 106 the Action Button is a separate Addon. The preferred way of using it are still the key bindings or the macro. I maintain the Action Button only very roughly – but if you want to take over, just let me know.
Infos, Bugs and more: SmartMount / SmartMount Action Button
Preferred way of installing: via the Curse Client
This Zero-Mailer is even less than a nullmailer. It is a sendmail replacement which (basic configuration) send all mails to a single email address (ignoring the destination address).
It's desigend for servers, which are no mail servers, and only sends logs, notices and such things. So all other software (may be scripts, used from the web-server) have to use a SMTP server for outgoing mail (e.g. forum).
It can be configred that when sendmail is invoked by a user, that all those mails are going to another address. (the users which calls sendmail is important, not the destination).

Please provide our Agent with the following Notice:
You and Tagged agree that, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, you and Tagged shall seek to resolve any and all disputes between Tagged and you, respectively, including, without limitation, all claims, counter-claims and cross-claims (collectively, "Claims"), whether in law, equity or otherwise, solely through individual arbitration in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in this Agreement. Such disputes shall include without limitation:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in lieu of arbitration, either you and/or Tagged may bring an individual action against the other in small claims court. Additionally, you and/or Tagged may bring any Claim against the other to the attention of a federal, state and/or local government entity, which may elect to seek relief against Tagged on your behalf, and/or against you on Tagged's behalf.
You agree that you and Tagged hereby have voluntarily and intentionally waived any and all right to a trial by jury, and (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) any and all right to participate in a class action. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Dispute provision. This Dispute provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
For a party hereto to initiate arbitration against the other party it must first send by certified mail to the other party a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice must identify and detail the nature of the party's Claim, the basis for that Claim, and the specific relief being sought for that Claim, including, without limitation, any Claim for injunctive relief. For the parties' convenience, a form for providing Notice is available at http://www.tagged.com/disputeresolution_forms.html to download and complete. A Notice being sent to Tagged must be addressed to: Dispute Resolution Department, Tagged, Inc., 110 Pacific Ave Mall, Box #117, San Francisco, CA 94111 ("Tagged Notice Address"). A Notice being sent to you shall be sent to your Tagged e-mail account and to any other e-mail address provided in your registration (collectively, "Member Notice Address"). You may also opt to receive a copy of any Notice via mail by sending a written request to the Tagged Notice Address including your name, postal address, Member Notice Address and Tagged User ID number (UID).
After receipt of the Notice you and Tagged must attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute set forth in the Notice. If you and Tagged are not able to resolve the dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, then you or Tagged may initiate an arbitration proceeding against the other by downloading and completing the "American Arbitration Association ("AAA") Consumer-Related-Disputes Form-California (For Use Only In California)" demand for arbitration form available at (http://www.adr.org/si.asp?id=6377) ("Demand"), and sending a copy of the Demand to the AAA, together with a copy of the Tagged Terms of Service and a check or money order payable to the AAA in the amount of the appropriate filing fee, and sending a copy of the Demand to the other party. The copy of the Demand being sent to the AAA must be addressed as stated on the Demand. A copy of the Demand being sent to Tagged must be addressed to the Tagged Notice Address. A copy of the Demand being sent to you shall be addressed to the Member Notice Address.
Please note AAA does not provide Tagged customer support and is only able to provide information regarding initiating an arbitration proceeding against Tagged. All concerns regarding your account should be addressed to Tagged by submitting a Ticket. Tagged will try to resolve your concern, and in the case that you are not satisfied with the resolution you may choose to follow the process outlined on the Dispute Resolution Page.
Information regarding the appropriate filing fee to send with the Demand to the AAA (including the possible waiver of all or part of that fee) is available at http://www.adr.org/sp.asp?id=22039 and http://www.adr.org/sp.asp?id=22040, or by calling AAA Customer Service at (800) 778-7879 or AAA Case Filing Services at (877) 495-4185. Note: AAA does not provide Tagged customer support and is only able to provide information regarding initiating an arbitration proceeding against Tagged. If you initiate an arbitration proceeding against Tagged and are not able to pay all or part of the AAA filing fee (and do not receive a waiver of the unpayable amount), and so long as the total amount of the relief you are seeking in the Demand is $10,000 or less, then you may send a written request for payment of the unpayable amount to Tagged at the Tagged Notice Address. Tagged shall consider your request and will, in its own discretion, either (1) pay the unpayable amount to the AAA directly or (2) send notice to you of its denial of your request within 10 business days of the receipt thereof. Further, if you initiate an arbitration proceeding against Tagged, and so long as the total amount of the relief you are seeking in the Demand is $10,000 or less, then you may send proof of your payment of all or part of the AAA filing fee to Tagged at the Tagged Notice Address, and Tagged shall reimburse you for that actually paid amount.
The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA and shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures and the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules are available online at http://www.adr.org/sp.asp?id=22440 and http://www.adr.org/sp.asp?id=22014, or by calling AAA Customer Service at (800) 778-7879. (Additional information about the arbitration process, presented in a simplified FAQ format, is available at http://www.tagged.com/disputeresolution.html. The arbitrator selected to resolve the dispute between you and Tagged shall bound by the terms of this Agreement. All arbitration hearings shall take place exclusively in San Francisco County, California. Except, however, that if the total amount of the relief you are seeking in the arbitration is $10,000 or less you may choose whether the arbitration shall be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephone hearing, or by an in-person hearing, as established by the AAA Rules. If the total amount you are seeking is greater than $10,000 then your and Tagged's respective rights to an arbitration hearing shall be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which any award is based.
In addition to any reimbursement of AAA filing fees as detailed above, and so long as the total amount of the relief you are seeking in the arbitration is $10,000 or less, Tagged shall pay all other AAA administration fees and all arbitrator fees for the arbitration. Except, however, that if the arbitrator in such action finds that either the substance of your dispute against Tagged or the relief you are seeking in the arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees in such action shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In said event, you hereby agree to reimburse Tagged for all monies paid by Tagged that are your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Additionally, if the total amount of the relief you are seeking in the arbitration is greater than $10,000 then the payment of all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules.
You and Tagged agree that unless and until the arbitrator determines the monetary and/or other relief, if any, to which you and/or Tagged is entitled in connection with the dispute being arbitrated, neither you nor Tagged shall disclose to the arbitrator the amount of any settlement offer(s) that you and/or Tagged previously made to the other in connection with said dispute. In any individual arbitration between you and Tagged, if the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Tagged's last written settlement offer to you then Tagged shall:
However, if Tagged did not make any written settlement offer to you prior to the arbitrator in said individual arbitration issuing you an award, then so long as the arbitrator awards you any monetary relief on the merits of your Claim against Tagged, you and your attorney (if any) shall be entitled to receive the Member Incentive and the Attorney Incentive, respectively. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of any fees and/or expenses, the Member Incentive and/or the Attorney Incentive at any time during the individual arbitration and/or upon request by you and/or Tagged made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits of said individual arbitration. The Attorney Incentive supplements and does not supersede any right you may have under applicable law to receive attorneys' fees and/or expenses in connection with the individual arbitration (including as may be awarded to you by the arbitrator), but in no event may you recover a duplicative award of attorneys' fees and/or expenses. If Tagged prevails in an individual arbitration against you and is entitled under applicable law to receive attorneys' fees and/or expenses, Tagged hereby agrees that it shall not seek and shall refuse to receive such an award.
The arbitrator may award any form of individual relief in your favor, but solely to the extent warranted by your individual Claim. You and Tagged agree that, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, you and Tagged may bring a Claim against the other solely in your or Tagged's individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, except as otherwise set forth herein, no arbitrator may consolidate more than one person's Claim and/or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If all or part of this specific paragraph is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable after final appeal, then the entirety of this Dispute provision shall be deemed null and void.
AT ANY TIME AND IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION TAGGED MAY DIRECT THE AAA TO CONSOLIDATE ANY AND ALL PENDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION CLAIMS THAT (i) ARISE IN SUBSTANTIAL PART FROM THE SAME AND/OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS, EVENTS AND/OR OCCURRENCES, AND (ii) INVOLVE A COMMON QUESTION OF LAW AND/OR FACT WHICH, IF RESOLVED IN MULTIPLE INDIVIDUAL AND NON-CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS, MAY RESULT IN CONFLICTING AND/OR INCONSISTENT RESULTS. IN SAID EVENT, YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION, IN LIEU OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST TAGGED AND THE AAA RULES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL GOVERN ALL PARTIES. Additionally, in said event, if the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Tagged's last written settlement offer to you then Tagged shall:
However, if Tagged did not make any written settlement offer to you prior to the arbitrator in said consolidated arbitration issuing you an award, then so long as the arbitrator awards you any monetary relief on the merits of your Claim against Tagged, then you shall be entitled to receive the award and/or $500, whichever is greater, and your attorney (if any) shall be entitled to receive the Attorney Incentive. As also noted above, the arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of any fees and/or expenses, the Member Incentive and/or the Attorney Incentive at any time during the consolidated arbitration and/or upon request by you and/or Tagged made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits of said arbitration. Similarly, the Attorney Incentive supplements and does not supersede any right you may have under applicable law to receive attorneys' fees and/or expenses in connection with the consolidated arbitration (including as may be awarded to you by the arbitrator), but in no event may you recover a duplicative award of attorneys' fees and/or expenses. If Tagged prevails in a consolidated arbitration against you and is entitled under applicable law to receive attorneys' fees and/or expenses, Tagged hereby agrees that it shall not seek and shall refuse to receive such an award. If all or part of this specific paragraph is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable after final appeal, then the entirety of this Dispute provision shall be deemed null and void.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that if Tagged changes this Dispute provision in the future (other than a change to the Tagged Notice Address and/or any Internet address, telephone number and/or document title set forth in this provision) you may reject that change by sending written notice within 30 days of the change to Tagged at the Tagged Notice Address. By rejecting said change you reaffirm that you shall seek to resolve all disputes between you and Tagged solely through arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.
If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or any third party, Tagged is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that Member has a dispute with one or more members, Member hereby releases Tagged and its directors, officers, employees, agents, independent contractors, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns and licensees from all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, judgments, damages, costs and expenses of every kind or nature (regardless of whether actual or consequential, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed), arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or any the Services. If Member is a California resident, Member hereby waives California Civil Code Section 1542, which says "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Either party may terminate use of the Tagged website or the Services with or without cause at any time and effective immediately upon written notice to the other party. Tagged may terminate with or without cause at any time and effective immediately, at Tagged's sole discretion, including but not limited to Member's failure to conform with these terms and conditions of the Agreement. Tagged shall not be liable to Member or any third party for termination of use of Tagged or the Services. Member's right to use Tagged or the Services shall cease immediately. Member shall have no right and Tagged will have no obligation thereafter to forward any unread or unsent messages to Member or any third party.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - U.S. and Italian aircraft on Monday searched the Adriatic Sea after losing contact with a U.S. fighter jet believed to have crashed during a training mission off the coast of Italy.
The headquarters of the 31st Fighter Wing, at Aviano Air Base in Italy, said in a statement that the F-16 fighter had one pilot aboard when contact was lost Monday evening.
"The search for and rescue of our pilot is our top priority," said Col. David W. Walker, 31st operations group commander at Aviano. "We want to assure the family and friends of the lost airman that we are doing everything we can for this effort."
Initial word was that the F-16, which had taken off from Aviano, was not carrying weapons.
Italian aircraft and boats were helping in the search. The paramilitary Carabinieri force deployed helicopters, the Italian coast guard had motorboats in the area and Italian air force helicopters were also involved.
The search was focused on waters off a roughly a 9.5-mile stretch of coast between Cervia and Cesenatico in the northwestern Adriatic.

Things finally seem to be moving in the right direction, much to the joy of investors around the globe. With the Fed and the ECB preparing to take concrete steps to counter the sluggishness that U.S. and European economies have demonstrated since the global economic downturn of 2008, confidence seems to be at peak levels as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 ended last week at highs last seen in December 2007.
Bank stocks led the rally with Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) seeing their share value increase by about 8.5% each over the week – the most among American banks. The KBW Bank Index was up almost 5% for the week.
European banks outdid their American competitors at the stock market, though, with RBS (NYSE:RBS) gaining almost 15% last week, followed by 12.5% and 10% gains by Barclays (NYSE:BCS) and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) respectively. The Swiss banks also did well with a greater than 9% leap in stock price for Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) and UBS (NYSE:UBS).
Bank stocks started the week on a strong note with investor confidence boosted by the European Central Bank's (ECB) decision to initiate a direct bond buy-back program to bail-out the troubled Spanish and Italian economies. As the week progressed, the German constitutional court cleared the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) paving the way for the ECB to establish the ESM and initiate the buy-back program.
Back at home, the Federal Reserve gave investors another reason to cheer with the announcement that the third round of quantitative easing will kick-off soon with. The QE3 is expected to be open-ended with the Fed pulling out mortgage-backed securities worth up to $40 billion each month from the system till things look better for the U.S. economy. It also revealed its intention to keep interest rates at the current low levels at least till mid-2015 – further adding to the celebration.

oh and at 3.3GHz with 1.4v under an Tuniq Tower 120 and an coolermaster R4 fan my one (Athlon x2 7750) only gets upto 54c load and 34 idle
A while ago my 5770 had major issues from running the ram maxed out with crappy lil zalman heatsinks on the back ram ( seems the sticky stuff on them was more insulative ( spelling? is this even a word?) then conductive!) After going back to stock clocks it fixed it, but I missed having both sliders in catalyst maxed out so done this Looks like arse but works great, the heatsinks are stuck down using silicon thermal paste rather than double sided thermal tape, works much nicer : ] The big heatsink at the back of the card ( well bigger) is on two mosfets which I assume control the ram ( *shrugs*) Also note the rubber band around the silenx fan, me and my friend had to make clips out of paper clips to fit the 38mm fan to my heatsink XD rubber band adds tension to the clips to stop them coming off. Edit : So that's my 5770 @ 960/1445(5800mhz) ^_^ Can do 1ghz core but difference is negligible, when I crap some copper heat-sinks I might try to get the ram to 6000mhz ^_^
You know it I love ghetto modding things, this will be going on the mosfets of the card soon, just needs a few more adjustments : ]

Fredz what lighting did you use on the 2nd 3rd and 4th pictures? Effect is nice. Edit : or is it long exposure on a tripod?
This two cold cathods leptrom white. Yes, the cam in tripod, our good, in box, i dont have tripod.... Thanks for coments....
that should be a nice addition to the others Panther Fredz77, is that the NZXT sleeved extensions or did you do it yourself?
NZXT cables are sleeved. Just did not like the pci ex, are short, 10cm. The site says 20 but are not. Outside this are very well finished.
Love it! I think I'm going to be getting a few of them fans. The reason my PSU is that way is because: Fig. 1) The PSU has holes ALL over it, so more hot air will be pushed into the case than outside the case, Fig. 2) The fan filter doesn't align with my fan! I'll be getting a HX 750 soon, hopefully that'll line up
@ Scam ah i see now why then yeah the hole is sort of misaligned with mine aswel not to badly though yeah they do sort of need an long PSU to really benefit properly but my typeR-580 only just misses and with an 140mm fan it's good enough @ PantherX12 OCZ make some very nice little Copper BGA sinks and you should always replace stock thermal tape with Sekisui 5760 its the best stuff around
Cheers after some googling seems they don't sell them in the UK Gona grab some of these instead ( £2.99 for 8) Going to put the spare ones on the sides of the stock heatsink, can drop temps up to 8c by sticking a few L.P ram sinks on it It is such a tiny thing so it's no surprise.
Yeah AMD really cheaped out on the reference sink for the 5770 whilst it does have a vapour chamber it's just to smalll. They could of easily made the heatsink about 40-50% bigger. Hell I'm tempted to ruin my warranty cutting up the shroud so I can put something better in there.
Your Tempest looks clean! I like it a lot You should join the NZXT Case Club and show off your excellent build.
whoa thats some months ago hehe i sold it, cause i needed a laptop for the study's , but then that got cancelled due to not enough people attending. so i sold the laptop, and got a Q9550 from KieX, and a maximus II formula + the other things you can see in my system specs so yeah and next week i should get a new case and new monitor
maybe a Raven02, FT02B, or the Phantom not sure yet, still have a week to find the right one im thinking it should have room for 1 or 2 dual rads, as i wanna get some WC for it sometime in the near future or i could get a used case, like a TJ07 or 800D

Hi back election.
Played well let's -- a member of president Obama's campaign team is now saying.
That President Obama has created more jobs during his recovery and president Ronald Reagan did it back in the eighties here's Stephanie Cutter.
Well I think that worker probably.
Has a good understanding of what's happened over the past four years in terms of the president coming in and seeing 800000 jobs.
Lost on the day that the president was being sworn in hinting the president moving pretty quickly to stem the losses to turn the economy around and over the past.
You know 27 months we've created four point five million private sector jobs.
That's more jobs -- that within the bush recovery in the Reagan recovery there's obviously -- that we need to do.
Monica Crowley is radio talk show host does sound former pollster to President Bill Clinton both are Fox News can -- Aviators.
Monica let me give me the first crack at this issue right.
Well apparently according to Stephanie Cutter is mourning in America if -- problem is it's unsure.
Look -- by every economic measure at the Reagan recovery is far outpacing what we now call the Obama recovery but it's not really recovery I think we're gonna need a recovery from the U recovery.
Look in the first 37 months of the Reagan recovery we had.
In net gain of nine point eight million new jobs in the first 37 months of the Obama recovery -- -- a net gain of two point seven.
Million new jobs also when you look month by month.
We had one month last year where we had zero net new new jobs created.
One month in the Reagan recovery we had one point one million new jobs created Moneyline.
Limited -- neighbor went let's just listen I'm so eloquently put together an ever expect to have it back up exactly your -- so let's just follows up and then.
Excuse me part of an image when a show people the number on the screen.
This is the period that is being discussed here as she brought up -- 27 month period.
Between may 2010 and July 20102012.
Where we are now four point two.
Million private sector jobs added and then let's look at the Reagan comparison.
These are.
Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers.
The same time -- -- my time period November 82 to January 857.
Million jobs created in those numbers come from the bureau.
Of labor statistics has SS -- -- finishing fat.
You know I was just gonna say by every measure including job creation month to month the overall job creation over the lens of the recovery as well as the labor participation rate.
-- -- -- Reagan once that recovery got going anybody who wanted -- job was looking for one.
Could essentially find one under President Obama the labor participation rate is down to 63 point 7%.
Which is a historic low so by every measure the Reagan recovery really created a boom where the Obama recovery has not.
You -- you think about sentiment in the country and I think back to that period dad.
And there was a feeling that you know things were turning around and when you look at the new right track wrong track numbers that came out yesterday.
Said that they felt that we're on the wrong track I mean can compare it in those terms you know -- people isn't is it morning in America again is that the sentiment.
Well you know.
Opinion in 1984 turned around slowly.
When the morning in America and started running -- that in.
January and February of 84 it was a very close election in Walter Mondale was actually.
I had -- Ronald Reagan I think the statistics Monica sites are largely correct with one caveat.
The bush recession was responsible.
For the deep ditch we were in the American people understand that -- and that's one of the reasons why the wrong track.
Numbers are what they are so.
When asked to -- bush or Obama for current.
Economic -- still.
More people -- President Bush and President Obama the recover it -- recovery is undeniably weaker than we would like it to be Stephanie Cutter.
It's probably going further than she showed that job gracious about the same.
Under George W.
Bush and under President Obama but bottom line Obama's argument is that he turned around us stumbling.
And dying American.
Economy and is on the path to -- two some revitalization.
With all the problems both you and Monica and rightly site.
It will you rightly pointed out also -- in your notes before we talked that that it with the cost that those jobs have come -- When you when you break down a stimulus has something like 700000.
Dollars or drop it means that that's -- pretty topped number Mike Palin win on the.
Now know what luck we have had unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus since this recession kicked in in the fall of 2008 and look at what we have -- We have 42 consecutive months of 8% plus unemployment which is the longest stretch since the Great Depression.
And the big point about this is the result of policy policy does in fact matter so when she invoked the Reagan recovery.
You have to keep in mind that Reagan was.
Was able to unleash the private sector to death that incredible job creation and economic growth he deregulated.
He cut taxes with the most unprecedented.
A tax reform.
In the summer of 1981.
Barack Obama has done the exact opposite he -- in large government to to unprecedented levels.
And that's why he's getting the opposite result of the Reagan recovery because he's done the.
Opposite of Ronald and that is that's the big question here the underlying philosophy about how to turn things around whether or not it's -- you know reign in government and allow the private sector.
Tax cuts that you hope will turn around to stimulate business -- and that that's.
That's the opposite of what we're seeing that the -- is totally different.
-- -- what Ronald Reagan got in both 81 and an 85 was bipartisanship the Democrats were willing to go along.
And it benefit all Americans -- I think.
The level of bipartisanship.
That President Obama has seen has been.
Sadly not enough now the president himself I think it's culpable but I think the Republicans particularly the -- Tea Party need to be held accountable accountable and one more point.
But the bottom line Monica is exactly right.
Policy matters and I would sit here and say to both -- you.
But I am not convinced the governor Romney has yet to articulate a strategy to create jobs grow the economy.
And turn America around and I would say the reason the races close is because people don't see in Mitt Romney what they rightly saw in Ronald Reagan.
The best in town that is the town -- -- 59 point pro growth economic plan including tax reform an entitlement reform so it's a very Reagan asked pro growth.
Approached -- now maybe he's usually when and where children -- not a habit lately -- -- the point perhaps it has not been communicated in a way that people are wrapping their arms around and understanding and that and you know that's that's clearly the job that the -- campaign has cut out for them.
I at this point -- and does very interesting background on all that and think steel -- and East -- thank --

Inspector: Pigs are out of the house
ESSEX A Vermont couple appears to have found new homes for dozens of mini-pigs that were in an Essex home.
Zoning administrator Sharon Kelley said she went through the whole house on Tuesday, and the pigs are gone.
Pig breeder Florence Gruber and her partner Alan Tsefrekas had been keeping over 40 pigs inside Tsefrekas home for about a month before the town ordered them to relocate the animals.
They had until Tuesday to remove them. Kelley said local and state regulations define pigs, even miniature potbellied pigs, as agricultural animals. She said agricultural animals are prohibited from living within a residential neighborhood.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Opponents of a plan to bring the F-35 fighter plane to the Burlington International...

Emmanuel Poutot-NojaroffLOLA (Liaison Optique Laser Aéroportée) is a French national demonstrator programme to establish an optical link through the atmosphere between an airborne carrier representative of the future medium- and high-altitude UAVs (MALE and HALE) and ESA's Artemis geo-stationary communications satellite. EADS Astrium is prime contractor on this programme. First in the world: the flight tests at 6,000m and 10,000m performed in 2006 demonstrated the feasibility of establishing and maintaining 40,000km optical links between a Mystère XX and the Artemis geo-stationary spacecraft. These first ever optical links between an airborne and a geostationary satellite have shown performance levels above expectations. The link will be used for secure transmission of information received from UAVs by operation centers a few thousand kilometres away, within about one second and at very high data rates. This high capacity data stream will considerably reduce the time needed to transmit information from the theatre of operation, improve control of information and bring significant operational advantages.

Unless you start counting the years, you wouldn't think that Alice Dixson is already in her forties. What's her secret to staying young-looking? Well, over a year ago there's practically nothing. But since discovering an anti-aging cream that suits her penchant for "natural aging," she's now all for it and encourages other women to try it out.
Photo: Nerisa AlmoIf advertisements are to be believed, women are encouraged to begin their anti-aging routine before they even hit 30.
But not for Kapatid star and movie actress Alice Dixson.
In an interview held at Salon de Ning in The Peninsula Manila Hotel on June 5, where the anniversary party for Avon's Anew Genics took place, the former "I Can Feel It!" girl told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "Honestly, I'm not a vain person so I can't say na [women should] start at a young age.
"I think when a woman feels that she wants to feel better about her looks and that a product can help her then I would say go all out and try different products to see what can make her appearance better.
"Because most of the time, when we look good we feel good also."
Now 42, Alice can still pass off as one in her 30s. That, despite joining the anti-aging bandwagon only less than a year ago.
"I just started kasi last year and I didn't even know that the product that I was using was for rejuvenation.
"Kaya siguro when I got back from Vancouver [Canada], everybody was saying, 'O, you look so good, you look so young.'
"E, wala naman akong ginagawang bago, so maybe that was one of the reasons why."
It was winter in her hometown in Vancouver, Canada when Alice first came across her new favorite skin care product."
"I was just looking for a product that would keep my skin nourished and not dry out, because the winters could be quite harsh where I live.
"So, I researched online and I found this product to be on the top of the list of reviews. So I said, 'Sige nga, where can I get this product?'
"Eventually, I found a dealer and I started using it and immediately—it didn't even take eight or four weeks—in two weeks I saw results.
"[My face] felt more supple, at the same time, a little bit of firming. It definitely worked for me.
"And the other thing I love about it is its very luxurious and creamy, and once you put it on, it just really gets absorbed by the skin and it retains."

5. The FTC formally initiated an inquiry into private standards-setting organizations in 1974, two years after the staff recommended regulation to prevent trade restraints and consumer deception (FTC, "Preliminary Staff Study (Precis): Self-Regulation—Product Standardization, Certification, and Seals of Approval" [mimeographed, 1972]). The staff later proposed a rule that would mandate extensive procedural protections, including an appeals procedure, and require standards-setters to meet a substantive "fairness" criterion (FTC, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Standards and Certification: Proposed Rule and Staff Report [Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1978]). The subsequent proceedings on the proposed rule were controversial and divisive. Over twelve weeks of hearings, the staff heard from over two hundred witnesses. The FTC Improvements Act of 1980 removed Commission authority to issue a rule regarding standards and certification under section 18 of the FTC Act, concerning "unfair and deceptive acts or practices" (15 U.S.C. sec. 57a). The FTC proceeded with the Standards and Certification proceedings under section 6(g) of the FTC Act, the "unfair methods of competition" provision. The staff eventually recommended against a regulation, favoring case-by-case enforcement against unfair methods of competition (FTC, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Standards and Certification: Final Staff Report, [Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1983]). [BACK]
6. For example, a recent dispute over which trade association had jurisdiction to certify log-splitting equipment had little to do with actual safety. Rather, the dispute, according to several members of the Board of Standards of Review, stemmed from the income that would be generated through this service. [BACK]

8. ASME subcommittees provide approximately twenty thousand interpretations of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code every year. The case, American Society of Mechanical Engineers v. Hydrolevel Corp., 456 U.S. 5556 (1982), involved an unauthorized and blatantly anticompetitive interpretation of the code by two subcommittee members who were direct competitors of Hydrolevel, a valve manufacturer. After an "unofficial" letter on ASME stationery warned that the Hydrolevel valve might be unsafe, the firm lost sales and eventually went bankrupt. For a detailed discussion of the facts in Hydrolevel, see Charles W. Beardsley, "The Hydrolevel Case: A Retrospective," Fire Journal, May 1985. The decision was strongly criticized.
