Deutsche Bank has smashed the record held by UBS for most No. 1 teams in a single year since 2002, when the All-Europe Research Team became equities only.

Europes debt crisis enters its third year with no resolution in sight. Greece appears as likely to default now as it did in May 2010, when euro zone countries and the International Monetary Fund cobbled together an aid package coupled with austerity measures to enable Athens to meet its obligations.
Before that year ended Ireland became the first beneficiary of the European Financial Stability Facility, a bailout fund created in response to the Greek crisis and supported by the so-called troika: the European Central Bank, the European Union and the IMF. Last spring Portugal followed in Irelands footsteps and was granted a reprieve, but by the summer fears of contagion notably in Belgium, France, Italy and Spain had become so pronounced that the EU asked contributing countries to increase their commitments to the facility, eventually raising the total amount pledged from 440 billion ($579 billion) to 780 billion.

"Steel production is a long, powerful, energy-intensive chain of processes. If something goes wrong, the whole chain is blocked, usually with unpredictable consequences for workforce and infrastructure. Infrared contributes to keeping the production going" says Ralf Ponczeck, who together with his colleague Dirk Ehrich is responsible for thermography at the HKM plant.
The two technicians, both ITC certified Level III thermographers, are assigned to HKM's Energy Management Department, as measuring and calculating heat development is vital to determine and reduce the plant's energy output. They use a P640 infrared camera, equipped with 14-bit FireWire video streaming (called SC640) calibrated to + 2,000° C and equipped with 24° and 45° lenses. The camera has to function in extreme conditions in terms of temperature, dust and thermal load. Process engineers responsible for production levels call on them to inspect or monitor the heat load on engines, gears, structural casting plant elements as well as the proper functioning of cooling elements which are in direct contact with hot molten steel rounds.
What's cold and hot in steel manufacturing?
In addition to inspection tasks, Ponczeck and Ehrich gather thermographic evidence in order to determine thresholds and severity criteria for vital production processes and units. They use the ThermaCAM Researcher™ software, an advanced software suite for temperature and infrared image analysis, to calculate relevant temperature development models. "We use a three-fold classic severity criteria scheme for electrical inspections, but our steel process inspection results are based on our experience and the data we gather" says Dirk Ehrich.
The two technicians assert that they continue to find new applications for the IR camera at the HKM plant: "the 640x480 pixel resolution not only gives a clearer picture of the situation, it also allows us to inspect the many hazardous areas we have, from a safer distance."
Thanks to Thomas Jung, FLIR Systems Germany Regional Sales Manager, for providing contact and support.
Ladles (picture) are huge containers used in steelworks to transport the molten steel to other production stages. They are covered inside by refractory lining that is needed to withstand molten metal temperatures
during the casting process. Refractory materials are heatproof, but also thermal shock-sensitive. Their quality and performance is vital to a clean and safe production process. If they are not exchanged on time, the ladle will burst and tons of 1,500 °C hot liquid steel will gush out into the foundry.

Young people suffering from depression are more likely to lose their jobs or experience a decline in their incomes than those who are not depressed, according to a study by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). "Our study shows that symptoms of depression are associated with subsequent unemployment and loss of family income among working young adults," said Mary A. Whooley, MD, a physician in General Internal Medicine at the SFVAMC and assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology and biostatistics at UCSF.

Schnitzel and Sauerkraut
In rural North Waldoboro, Morse's European Deli and Kraut Haus celebrates German food.
- By: Hilary Nangle

Amid the rolling hills, woodlands, and fields of rural North Waldoboro, David Swetnam and his wife, Jacqueline Sawyer, have turned a popular local fresh sauerkraut operation into a culinary destination for German food aficionados. Morse's Kraut Haus Restaurant and European Deli draws fans from far beyond Maine who hunger not only for hard-to-find European specialty foods and authentic German fare, but also for the fresh sauerkraut that first earned German-immigrant farmer Virgil Morse fame back in 1918.
Morse's, an unassuming red barn on Route 220, isn't filled with livestock or farm equipment, but with a mind-boggling assortment of imported candy, confections, condiments, cheeses, and charcuterie. Complementing that are pretzels, croissants, even pretzel-croissants, as well as cookies, rugelach, and pretzel-dogs, all prepared in Morse's bakery, and other signature products including Aunt Lydia's beet relish and Morse's famed pickles, both mustard and sour garlic.
Every nook and cranny, every shelf and counter, is jam-packed with enticing edibles. Samples make it easy to nibble and nosh while browsing and buying. Or waiting. Given the astonishing bonanza, it would be easy to overlook the small restaurant, with its five high-backed booths and festive white lights, if it weren't for the small crowd at its door.
When Swetnam, a descendent of Waldoboro's original German settlers, and Sawyer, a direct descendent of Harriet Beecher Stowe, purchased Morse's in 2000, it was a simple, seasonal farm store carrying fresh sauerkraut, dried beans, and limited fresh produce. They were living in Washington State, when a visit to elderly relatives inspired them to move east. "Both of us fell madly back in love with Maine," Swetnam recalls. "We saw that Morse's Sauerkraut was being quietly marketed, but we didn't know what it was."
They asked Swetnam's ninety-five-year-old great-aunt Hazel, who lived in neighboring Warren, about Morse's. She replied, "Why that's famous. It's for sale? You must buy it. Besides, your grandfather practically haunted the place." So they did. They closed the sale in September, and began churning out fresh sauerkraut the next day. "We truly felt as if we were taking possession of a museum, that we were just the new curators," Swetnam says.
They had the perfect Maine business, open in winter and closed in summer, but customers came during the off-season and begged them to open. To warrant year-round operation, they had to give people other reasons to come. "We decided to build on the German heritage of Waldoboro and bring in foods that paired well with sauerkraut, such as sausages," Swetnam says. "Much to our amazement, we tapped into a niche. There was this unsatisfied demand for German products."
Not only did people come, but they also brought lists of products they wanted. "In a very real sense, the store was built by our customers. Fully 85 percent of the items found in the store came off somebody's shopping list," Swetnam says. "Before we knew it, we had the best-equipped German deli on the eastern seaboard."
Even that wasn't enough. Customers came to the tiny store expecting to eat sauerkraut and sausages on the spot, so they squeezed in three tables and began serving Reubens. "New Englanders are passionate about them," Swetnam says. "We thought if we made really good Reubens, people would come." And they did. The one-room store couldn't accommodate the crowds, so in 2004, they renovated a sauerkraut production room into the Kraut Haus restaurant and began adding other traditional German foods to the menu.
"German food had not experienced a renaissance when we opened, and it still hasn't, nor will it probably ever," Swetnam quips, "but those who are familiar with it are familiar with the whole repertoire." Customers began sharing family recipes. The result is like a co-op, he says. The menu reflects what customers want.
While breakfast is rave worthy — especially the Swedish lingonberry pancakes and the French toast made with cinnamon babka bread — lunch is the big draw. Every table is topped with serve-yourself crocks of Morse's pickles and four types of mustard, from hot to sweet.
The menu almost sags from the weight of the traditional fare: house-made perogies, filled with either minced sausage or cheese; beet borscht, available either hot or cold; Reuben and liverwurst sandwiches; kraut dogs; smoked pork chop; schnitzel; sausage plates made from a choice of bauernwurst, knackwurst, smoked Polish kielbasa, bratwurst, Irish bangers, or bockwurst/weisswurst; and blackboard specials, such as rouladen, goulash, and sauerbraten. Then there's dessert: German chocolate cake, Black Forest cake, and an apple strudel that's a meal in itself.
"We're well aware that it's sheer sacrilege not to serve beer with German food," Swetnam says, but space restrictions prevent that. The only other thing missing: a live oom-pah-pah band. Hilary Nangle

Discuss Psychic Abilities for Free. No Account is Needed.
Battlefield series, World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike etc. Have you ever thought of using Psi in those or similar games?
I TRY to keep my post short, hoping to spark your interest in these areas.
- Do you consider using Psi on such games as cheating? (OMG W4llH4X!!11!)
- Have you ever used remote viewing, micro-TK, telepathy etc. succesfully in games?
- on what extend would you think it to be possible to use micro-TK in online First Person Shooter games? (currently I would guess it'd be possible to used it on things like "rapid fire deviation" [i think it's usually an escalating random number generator that counts where the bullet flies], how about obtaining information about enemy location?)
I personally think it's not considered cheating, since orthodox science stubbornly claims it to be just wishfull thinking, and ESP is not always 100% accurate.
PostScript: I'm going to run a few tests with Battlefield 2, when i get back home.
after a few short tests in Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142 and Max Payne, i noticed something interesting.
I used micro-TK to improve weapon accuracy (shotguns, SMG bursts etc.) and noticed that whenever i tried to force it to be more accurate, it was about 30-40% less accurate than normal. Not so surprisingly, while trying to make them inaccurate, they were 30-40% MORE accurate than normal. I think this relates to the thing similar to Psi-wheel rotation that goes to the opposite direction when trying to rotate it in a certain way.
The reason why TK works in most games is that the games usually use a sort of random number generator to calculate where... let's say... a shotgun pellet spread hits.
I think this area deserves more study. :)
I don't actually play video games so I wouldn't know but, it does sound like something to look into. I don't know if I would call it cheating but, it's not something most others can do. So, I suppose it's up to you.
If you are thinking too heavily about the thing you want to do with psionics it can hamper your ability to do. if you let your subconcious do the work and focus on keeping your mind off of what you are actually trying to do than it most of the time works better. or at least so i have seen in my practices.
This thread is a huge joke. You are just feeding a troll.
I do not believe that this thread was written by a troll. What you guys must understand about micro-pk and videogames is, the way that computers calculate randomness isnt random. The best way to create a proper random number generator, that mimics situations at casinos/real life, etc, is rigging up a geiger counter with some basic circuits. There is an article about how to create a proper random number generator, including circuit diagrams, in an article in the Journal of Parapsychology, by Helmut Schmidt. Its probably available on the internet by now, I think it was written in the 1980s- I know about it because I have a paper copy of it. Alternatively, you could find a random number generator on the internet that mirrors data from a geiger counter- I saw something like that on the internet, so it wouldnt hurt for you to check it out.
I don't think it's a psi thing, but it works fine. Yes, it's cheating. :)
I know this topic is old, but I had to say something:
This works. I've used it countless times. Basicially what I do is use psionics to get a basic idea of enemy location, tell whether or not im gonna get ambushed or sniped, etc. This information comes to me in the form of impulses. I also use psionics to speed up load times and bolster my internet connection (although, I dont recommend the latter WHILE playing, as it's hard to concentrate on two things at once, and it gives you one hell of a headache. ). I used to suck at videogames, but ever since I learned about this topic I've improved my playing skills exponentially. Now it's mostly instinct for me, but I know it works. One thing I will add, though, if anyone else wishes to try this, i've found that it's best (for me, results may vary for others) not to focus too hard and just let the impulses flow naturally
Used micro-pk to lessen the probability of harmful random encounters in Fallout 2.
In FPS games, I started moving the mouse randomly and clicking randomly. The result was that I was banned from most servers for using an aimbot ;D. Well, too many headshots..
I think you have a recipe for success. I\'ve lived in supposedly bustling places before, and you know, generally, no one is particularly happy with their lives. They waste a lot of it doing nothing, or close to it, and so often I see people who are not living. I don\'t mean that in the \"they don\'t know they\'re dead!\" way, but I mean, in the sense that they aren\'t experiencing all that life has to offer.
Letting boredom take over is rather tragic, in my opinion, but I would be a liar if I claimed that I wasn\'t letting myself down more often than I should (Should you ever purposefully let yourself down? Interesting thought.).
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Nope, I\'d hate every moment. I already went through a car accident. I hated every fucking moment. I\'m still hating it as it screwed me so badly. You get charged for so much shit and insurance. Fuck. You live in more misery from it all. Many people have gone as far as committing suicide from massive change in their lives. There is negative change and there is positive change. We borderline the middle. We don\'t take the risks. We don\'t have a need to survive, but the behavior to survive. So, we are stuck in a loop. Daily living to historic to stupidity.
That\'s what I\'m talking about. It\'s misery! It\'s a challenge to face, and the challenge excites our life, for better or for worse. It gives us something to live for...or die for.
I don\'t understand what you mean here, though:
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Daily living to historic to stupidity.
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Should you ever purposefully let yourself down?
You mean in the sense of seeing opportunity and not taking it?
Well, you were saying [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Many people have gone as far as committing suicide from massive change in their lives.
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]At this point of life, in order to enjoy life, you must make it into something. You can\'t wait until some major consequence of your\'s or someone\'s actions to happen. You must cause change in order to make change. Otherwise, you\'re stuck in a loop.
Like I said: It\'s a challenge to face, and the challenge excites our life, for better or for worse.
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]We don\'t need to survive, but we do what we do to keep functioning
Isn\'t that the same thing? [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":P\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /]
But I think this conversation has gone a little crazy, I\'m not sure what you\'re talking about and you\'re not sure what I\'m talking about. My basic point was: challenge excites out life. I\'m not sure how we started talking about survival.
I understand what you mean. I\'ve always been inclined to live like this, every day meaningful, some days crazy. Always moving forward.
Lately I\'ve been thinking I had a mental problem for wanting to live this way instead of a stable, repetitive routine. But now that you mention it..
After discovering this site, I felt as if I\'ve landed myself in a new tangle of adventures. I think everyone here who has somehow found his or her way here has also taken a step torwards moving somewhere \'different\'.
For me each day seems interesting, a vague routine with different occurrences filling up the in-between moments, and other days stand out. Always have something to talk about or mention kind of thing.. I get disappointed when nothing different goes down or it\'s just an uneventful day altogether.
There are your limits though, nobody wants an action packed, hard core life. Way too aggressive.. Or one with constant drama, so much that you might want to strangle all your friends by the end of the day.
But enough that it\'s a personal development in smidgens each day, enough to wonder what could or couldn\'t happen the next day. You learn something, or you\'re thinking about the outcome of what you did today and how it\'ll effect tomorrow.. If I lost you I\'m sorry.
High school was the most routine four years of my life and I was just miserable. Didn\'t feel right to me, but maybe that\'s just /me/.

Traditional Figure 4 is getting a hot new makeover at Pure Yoga. For those not familiar with the acclaimed barre class, Figure 4 uses isometric weight-bearing exercise, free weights, classical dance training, Pilates, and yoga to tone your butt, abs, arms, and thighs while also improving posture and self-awareness. (The workout, created by professional dancer, Kate Albarelli gets its name from the traditional ballet stretch done by crossing the ankle over the opposite knee and bending forward, creating a "four" with the legs.) Adding heat not only ups the sweat factor and elevates your heart rate, but also provides class-goers with a deeper stretch and a greater muscle burn during strengthening sections.

Victims' Compensation Assistance Program of the State of Delaware (formerly the Violent Crimes Compensation Board)
The Victims' Compensation Assistance Program was created to help innocent victims of violent crime recover losses as a result of the crime.
If you know someone who has been a victim of a violent crime in Delaware, the Delaware Victims Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP) may be able to help. Part of the state's Department of Justice, VCAP helps alleviate financial burdens and lighten the anguish that crimes leave on all victims.
Violent crimes are intentional acts by persons against persons or property that inflict physical harm or threaten to do so. Violent crimes are often marked by hatred or anger, and an incredible disregard for the worth and rights of another human being.
The intense … and often unexpected … nature of violent crimes often leaves victims physically and emotionally shaken. That's where the VCAP comes in. When the world of someone is overturned by a violent act, the VCAP is a resource to which they can turn.
Every state in the country operates a program to help pay for certain expenses that result from violence or abuse. Delaware's agency has been providing such support over the course of four decades, helping:
VCAP serves as an important lifeline, reaching out to victims wherever they are located in all three Delaware counties. The agency helps victims navigate every step of the process and the road to recovery. VCAP receives and reviews applications for assistance, even helping victims to properly complete all the needed forms. The agency manages the program's funds, and makes determinations regarding the awarding of compensation.
Delaware's history of assisting victims of violent crime dates back to 1974, when the State's General Assembly created the Victim's Compensation Fund. This Fund was established to help innocent victims of certain crimes meet additional hardships imposed upon them due to those crimes, by covering them for some of their losses sustained.
Funding for Delaware's Fund is generated by a surcharge on fines and penalties imposed by the Courts. No tax dollars are used to fund VCAP.

With teeth the size of a human hand and a length that rivals that of a Greyhound Bus, Megalodon was unquestionably one of the world's most massive predators.
At 60 feet long, Megalodon was the largest shark that ever lived, clearly the dominant marine predator of its time.
Though Megalodon vanished over 2 million years ago, its fascinating story continues to inspire lessons for science and shark conservation.
Beginning Saturday, Adventure Aquarium in Camden, N.J., tells this story in anational traveling exhibit, "Megaladon: Largest Shark That Ever Lived.
The exhibition, which was produced by the Florida Museum of Natural History with support from the National Science Foundation and is sponsored locally by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, features a 60-foot-long walk-through metal sculpture and highlights the evolution, biology and misconceptions regarding a number of giant prehistoric sharks.
"Most people have heard of Megalodon, but few really know its story," said Kevin Keppel, Adventure Aquarium's executive director, who was instrumental in bringing the exhibition to Adventure Aquarium.
"The mere existence of this massive creature really captures our imaginations and inspires us to want to learn more about how Megalodon lived, how it died, and what we can learn from it today."
"As unique as Megalodon was, so too is this exhibition that tells the story of this enormous creature," notes press information.
Included are fossils and modern shark specimens, as well as full-scale models from several collections.
Visitors can enter a full-size metal sculpture of Megalodon through massive jaws and discover this shark's history and the world it inhabited, including its size, structure, diet, lifespan, relatives, neighbors, evolution and extinction.
The exhibit also provides details on improving the health of the world's oceans and survival of threatened species, and describes how this animal continues to fascinate many, elevating Megalodon to near cult status.
From biker jackets to postage stamps, the exhibition explains the many ways Megalodon remains a part of human culture through art, literature, music and film.
"Sharks play a vital role in our marine ecosystem, including keeping our ocean's fish and invertebrate populations healthy and stable, said Marc Kind, director of husbandry at Adventure Aquarium.
"Our hope is that seeing and learning about Megalodon, alongside Adventure Aquarium's impressive live shark collection, will ultimately help inspire a new and exciting appreciation for these incredible animals."
There is no shortage of shark-infested fun at Adventure Aquarium this summer.
Featuring over 2 million gallons of water and 16 unique shark species - over 70 sharks in total - Adventure Aquarium's shark collection"rivals that of the nation's top aquarium," notes press information.
Visitors can touch live sharks, like white-spotted and brown-banded bamboo sharks, coral cat sharks, zebra bullhead sharks, and more.
They also can experience the massive 550,000-gallon Shark Realm exhibit, home to a collection of sand tiger sharks, sandbar sharks, nurse sharks and others.
Visitors can walk through a 40-foot suspended Shark Tunnel to stand within inches of over 20 sleek and stunning sharks.
They also can enjoy a rare treat at Ocean Realm, a 760,000-gallon exhibit, the largest of all the aquarium's underwater exhibits, where they can view a collection of rare shark species, including black tip and black nose sharks, zebra sharks, silky sharks, and not only one, but two Great Hammerhead sharks – the only Great Hammerheads on exhibit in the entire country.

The characters typical of our Gimblett Road vineyards such as pineapple, grapefruit, fig and pear are evident. Mealy, biscuity barrel ferment and integrated oak characters add complexity. The wine displays the desirable character of elegance with power. This is a powerful wine, but it also shows softness and great balance.
"A marvellously fragrant wine suggesting blackberry, licorice, anise and violets. The intense, long palate marries opulence and fineness to perfection. This just might be NZ's most intense Syrah / Viognier. It's a huge wine with a velvet texture and masses of ripe plum and dark berry fruit flavours that are more than a match for the wine's solidly oaky overcoat."
Bob Campbell, Gourmet Traveller Wine, August / September 2006 -
The colour is a beautiful green/gold, with depth. The aromas are reminiscent of honey and crystallized apricots. The botrytis has a big effect, with hints of the floral, jasmine aspects of Viognier showing. It is very luscious and concentrated, with strong flavours of dried fruits, especially apricots. The finish is very long and despite the sweetness, finishes dry with no cloying sugar as sometimes happens with this style of wine
This wine combines spice and pepper with ripe blackberry fruit for a rich and soft palate with a long and complex finish.
Wild raspberry and plum fruit aromas with spice and a little vanilla from oak barrels. This is an elegant wine with firm but not heavy tannin structure. The texture is silky and there is great persistence of wild fruit flavours on the finish.
The colour is a deep, vibrant crimson. Blackberry, black pepper, savoury and spice elements are prominent. Multi-layered complexity is the aim. Powerful but ripe and round tannins give the wine great structure. Oak aging plays a minor part and the wine lives on its fruit. Combined with good acidity, mineral, earthy and tarry characters result in a wine that is distinctly Northern Rhone-like rather than resembling any thing Australian.
Black fruits such as cassis and plum. The flavours of the black fruits are complemented by a mouth-filling structure and fine-grained texture.
Intense, brilliant golden-yellow/green in colour with aromas of orange blossom, cumquat peel and jasmine. Full, rich and soft on the palate; the exotic and sensual nature of this wine makes it a great substitute for Chardonnay or Pinot Gris. Hard not to drink!
Typical fruit characters from Hawkes Bay Chardonnay such as grapefruit and melon are supplemented by biscuity characters with a light butteriness. The wine is rich and round, with soft acidity and attractive sweet fruit.
The blackberry and black pepper nuances of Syrah, the leather and plum aromas of Merlot and the lifted red currant character of Cabernet Franc have combined to produce a complex, fruit dominated wine. The oak aging has added a further dimension to the wine without being obvious. Its richness with firm, ripe tannins make this wine extremely serious yet eminently drinkable.

Ok, this is pretty simple. What year did you graduate high school, what was the "theme" song of your high school senior prom, did you like it, and when you hear it does it bring back good memories?
I graduated in 1989:
Rod Stewart - "Forever Young"
Was a pretty popular song at the time and I thought it was ok then and still do. I recently heard it on the radio (hence the idea for this thread) and it brought back a lot of good memories (considering it's been more than 20yrs since I graduated high school).

Marketers: Stop Griping About Facebook And Embrace Segmentation
By Ed Kats | President
Editor's note: The following is an excerpt of an op-ed that was originally published at AdExchanger.com.
Some marketers love to bash Facebook ads. We saw it in the immediate aftermath of General Motors pulling its $10 million cache of ad buys just days before Facebook's IPO. We continue to see it as the company's stock price stumbles.
The truth is, Facebook is finally developing new, exciting ways to deliver real value to online advertisers. It's time for marketers to recognize that value and get serious about Facebook ads.
In recent weeks, the company has announced a number of prominent changes to its ad platform, including a real-time bidding exchange, mobile-only ads, and a rumored "want" button that would "only work with content identified as relating to a purchasable product."
Facebook also has increased its outreach to the advertising industry. Through various public and private campaigns, it is working to educate marketers about its multitude of ad options and addressing their concerns about the need for more precise data and analytics. At the Cannes Lions festival last month, Carolyn Everson, Facebook's vice president of global marketing solutions, made the rounds touting the social network's various ad options.
The key to the success of all of Facebook's new ad options is segmentation. Segmentation gives marketers the ability to analyze and make real-time media buying decisions based on data available through Facebook's interface. For agencies, segmentation marks another opportunity to optimize, target deeper and increase conversion rates. The segmentation and retargeting opportunities now exist that will enable Facebook ads to be profitable for brands.

Brighton congregation prays for pub's future
5:20pm Friday 16th November 2012 in News By Ben James
Members of Father John Wall's congregation already pray each day for their daily bread.
But from next year Father Wall is also hoping to serve them their daily red – courtesy of a new church-backed community pub.
The Bevendean, or Bevvy, in Moulsecoomb was closed by police following a string of violent incidents in 2010.
But residents in both Moulsecoomb and Bevendean are working together to try to reopen the once troubled boozer as a community owned pub.
They have announced that they will sell £10 shares in the venture from December 1 with the hope of reaching the required £200,000.
Leading the campaign to get the beers flowing at the venue in Hillside is none other than the local vicar.
Father Wall, of St Andrew's in Moulsecoomb, said: "Every good community deserves a good church and a good pub.
"St Andrew's is doing its bit in Moulsecoomb but we have no local pub."
In a message to his congregation he added: "As a church, we've been supportive from the word go. I suspect we could be unique in the diocese as having support for the local pub enshrined in our Church Mission Action Plan.
"It's been really amazing to see what can be achieved by a group of local people with a real sense of purpose and vision.
"I can't wait for the new year and the re-opening of the Bevvy. Whoever gets to the bar first, mine's a pint of Bishop's Finger."
With a combined population of 18,000, the Moulsecoomb, Bevendean and Bates estates are thought to be one of the most populated areas in the county without a local.
The focus for the new boozer will be on local food and ale at affordable prices.
There are also plans for a community kitchen and even an edible beer garden.
If all goes to plan, it is thought it will be the first co-operative pub and on a housing estate in the UK.
Father Wall said: "The building was under real threat of being lost to the community but a small group of local people got together in the church hall and started the ball rolling to get our pub back.
"We will be the first urban co-operative pub in the South of England. It'll be a community hub, offer a relaxed family friendly venue, good food, meeting rooms and even an orchard and an edible garden."
All are invited to the December 1 share sales launch which will feature music, mulled wine, nibbles and local Langham Brewery real ale.
The evening starts at 6pm at St Andrew's Church.

Apple's market cap crossed the US $500 billion figure on Wednesday (currently at $505.75 billion), which is a new high for a company in the technology industry. It takes companies in the oil&gas and energy sector to get this far, and only five companies have ever crossed the $500 billion mark. To put this figure into perspective, if you combine the market caps of Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, it would amount to $567 billion (while Apple's is singlehandedly close to $506 billion). The phenomenal growth in market cap can be attributed to solid moneymaking product and service lines, backed by good prospects for each of them. The graph below documents this growth chronologically with key events at Apple. Source: The Verge
so there is investment of 500 bill in silver fruit mark? and if (read - when) this bubble blows up, will it shake finance markets (read - gobal economic) more than BearStern, Morgan Stanley and AIG together?
And in my memory I remember when Apple was nearly bust. Great company. Great products. But man is that thing overvalued! The market/book value must be off the scale. I don't know how indebted Apple is... but there is no reason there will be a major economic crisis once the bubble goes. It will only be (mostly) overinflated stock funds that will take a corrective mark-to-market so the holders of those shares will lose some, but no more than a stock market fall of 5%. (Assuming diversified portfolio and Apple represents 1 of 20 investments in a fund) I say: BRING IT ON
It's amazing how much money you can make when your biggest selling products are made by (near) slaves. Oh, wait, wasn't there an inspection that cleared all that up recently? My bad!
It's ok. they've forced the employees into remaining alive. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ories-forced-sign-pledges-commit-suicide.html
investors are moving into commodities that tend to be stable with consumers. Regardless of what anyone here thinks of apple when they release a product people flock to it. So it's stable. That will always draw investors tired of the financial markets bubbles. While it does seem a bit overinflated but they did take in 108 billion in revenue last year so it's not actually baseless like the dot com bubbles. seems like technology and oil are drawing the most investor attention right now and walmart, the retail juggernaut doesn't seem to change, always stable but little roi possible. I would like to point out that AAPL hasn't been steady at these numbers so it's unlikely to stay there. Not a bubble burst, but a drop in price is likely.
Yeah , let's bitch about slaves and wars but let's enjoy cheap gas and shinny ipad's and keep buying them of course , we did our job , felt sorry for the slaves for a second and move on.
This is sad. People really will buy anything you dangle in front of them that's shiny. Better start polishing some turds and charge 3 times the normal price.
Dude. It's Foxconn. All OEMs that get parts and do business with them deserve the same finger pointing yet I never see any. Give me a break. Yeah Bonkers I too remember that all too bitterly well when they were damn near bust back in '95ish. I say bitterly because even as a dumb kid I knew then I should buy stock but had no cash. Even a thousand shares would be worth like half a million bucks today.
True but back when it was in the toilet I could have more easily bought lots of shares and made some real serious money. And, by the way, I used to have a Foxconn Black Ops I guess that means I'm going to hell! I'll say hi to Steve Jobs for everyone.

Ajax opponents who think rejection of the Morrison mine project is a good omen may be disappointed.
Both Morrison and Ajax are copper properties, but after that there's not much similarity.
In announcing their decision this week to turn down the 30,000-tonne-per-day project at the headwaters of the Skeena River, enviro minister Terry Lake and energy minister Rich Coleman listed among concerns a "genetically unique sockeye salmon population" and "long-term" environmental impact.
The EAO report, presented to the ministers for review a couple of weeks ago, also noted "opposition from Gitxsan and Gitanyow Nations" and "the strength of claim of (the) Lake Babine Nation."
There is no such opposition to Ajax — instead, discussions with local bands have centered on who gets the biggest slice of the pie. (The Tk'emlups and Skeetchestn Bands already stand to split $2.5 million a year in royalties from the New Gold mine.) As Skeetchestn chief Rick Deneault said last year in brushing off concerns about the closeness of Ajax to the city, "It's not like it's right next door to somebody's house."
As a side note, while First Nations closest to the Morrison project opposed it, the Village of Granisle and the Nechako school district were all for it, and said so years ago. No waiting around till "all the reports are in" for them. The school district offered training programs for workers and the town council asked eagerly if it would need "a new subdivision to accommodate growth in population?"
As for fish, worries about Jacko Lake are a big part of the package of environmental concerns about the KGHM plan. But I doubt sport fishing in one small recreational lake will carry as much weight as the future of salmon stocks on a 15-mile lake at the headwaters of a major river.
Should there be hope Morrison might set a trend, consider that only two B.C. projects have been turned down during environmental review in the past 20 years, and one of them wasn't a mine — it was the Ashcroft Ranch landfill project.
What about the impact of Ajax on local lifestyle? Will the review criterion of "social and economic effects" be a serious factor? Granisle isn't nearly as close to the Morrison property as Ajax is to Kamloops, but the EAO concluded there would be "no significant adverse effects" in that respect. Pacific Booker Minerals Inc., the proponent, would be required to cover that off by hiring a community PR person and sponsoring a job fair in Granisle.
Technically, the Morrison mine project may be wounded, but it's not dead. In Lake's letter breaking the news to Pacific Booker Minerals, he wrote, "We wish to emphasize that our decision relates to the project as proposed, and we wish to note that the environmental assessment allows Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. to submit another proposal based on a new project design in the future, should you wish to do so."
Pacific Booker director Eric Tornquist issued a terse three-paragraph response Monday that noted, "The federal approval process is ongoing and the Federal Environmental Assessment agency will make their decision independently."
In other words, it ain't over.

Objective To conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of screening strategies for identifying children with type 2 diabetes mellitus and dysglycemia (prediabetes/diabetes).
Design Cost simulation study.
Setting A one-time US screening program.
Study Participants A total of 2.5 million children aged 10 to 17 years.
Intervention Screening strategies for identifying diabetes and dysglycemia.
Main Outcome Measures Effectiveness (proportion of cases identified), total costs (direct and indirect), and efficiency (cost per case identified) of each screening strategy based on test performance data from a pediatric cohort and cost data from Medicare and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Results In the base-case model, 500 and 400 000 US adolescents had diabetes and dysglycemia, respectively. For diabetes, the cost per case was extremely high ($312 000-$831 000 per case identified) because of the low prevalence of disease. For dysglycemia, the cost per case was in a more reasonable range. For dysglycemia, preferred strategies were the 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (100% effectiveness; $390 per case), 1-hour glucose challenge test (63% effectiveness; $571), random glucose test (55% effectiveness; $498), or a hemoglobin A1c threshold of 5.5% (45% effectiveness; $763). Hemoglobin A1c thresholds of 5.7% and 6.5% were the least effective and least efficient (ranges, 7%-32% and $938-$3370) of all strategies evaluated. Sensitivity analyses for diabetes revealed that disease prevalence was a major driver of cost-effectiveness. Sensitivity analyses for dysglycemia did not lead to appreciable changes in overall rankings among tests.
Conclusions For diabetes, the cost per case is extremely high because of the low prevalence of the disease in the pediatric population. Screening for diabetes could become more cost-effective if dysglycemia is explicitly considered as a screening outcome.

Walking Tours Through US History
Filed Under: Walking
A walk through America's history-rich grounds nourishes the body and the mind. This isn't history woven from tales of legends so tall you feel small by comparison. The best walks tell the story of everyday people with a vision so bold it could cut across mountains, bridge differences and forge resolve in the midst of some very tough odds. Looking for a little inspiration? Walk this way. Pueblo Bonito, New Mexico
There was Ancient Rome. But Ancient America? You bet. Long before it was a "new nation," America was home to the Pueblos. Among their architectural feats was Pueblo Bonito -- a "Great House" as large as the Roman Colosseum that's survived more than 1,000 years. Feel the allure of this Native American history as you walk the half mile trail through Pueblo Bonito -- and contemplate what you want to build that could last a very long time.Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia
Relive the early days of America's struggle for independence with Revolutionary City, Colonial Williamsburg's daily street theater program. Walk a portion of the nearly one mile-long length of Gloucester Street, enjoying vestiges of colonial life. Witness reenactments, as early citizens debate the Revolution. You'll be prompted to enter the fray. When asked, "How say ye?" What will you answer?Philadelphia Old City District, Pennsylvania
Boston's Freedom Trail gets a lot of attention. But Philadelphia's Old City District also gave eloquent expression to revolutionary times. Start out at Independence Visitor Center; Independence Hall, around the corner, is where George Washington was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Less than half a mile away, the Liberty Bell once rang to summon Philadelphians to a public reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. At Christ Church Burial Ground, toss pennies onto Benjamin Franklin's marker for good luck.Oregon Trail from Flagstaff Hill, Oregon
It's the perfect spot to reflect on your own dreams. Atop Flagstaff Hill in Oregon, survey nearly 7 miles of original wagon ruts still grooved into the arid sagebrush fields. From the 1840s to the 1860s, an estimated 300,000 pioneers -- some would say dreamers -- loaded up their wagons and set out for what they called the "promised land." These hardy souls survived their share of hardship along the 2,000-mile trek across the Midwest. Retrace their steps at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Park, at Blue Mountain Crossing; a half mile trail leads past wagon grooves still visible in the earth.DC National Mall
Personal vision and sacrifice infuse the memorials along DC's 2.5-mile stretch known as the National Mall. Ohio postman Roger Durbin lobbied every member of Congress for more than 2 decades to erect the WWII Memorial. Vietnam War Veteran Jan Scruggs contributed his own small savings to launch the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. As you walk the Mall, imagine what you can do through perseverance.Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, Alabama
It's 1965, spring is in the air, and 600 people are on the move seeking the right to vote. The Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail commemorates this and the subsequent 50-mile trek from Selma to Montgomery, AL, a few weeks later. In Montgomery, visit the parsonage where Martin Luther King's family lived. Note the nicks on the front porch, vestiges of a bomb meant to derail the civil rights leader; today, a testament to courage.Sometimes the best way forward is to take a step back. With a stroll through these memorable grounds, that kind of inspiration is all yours -- for the walking.

Metric Halo Mobile I/O Unit Provides Professional Sound in Laptop Size, Thanks to SHARC® |
Bands on tour, movie crews on location, and producers of large venue events need the flexibility and freedom to adapt to situations at hand, especially when it comes to recording. With each new location come unfamiliar control rooms, control panels, and sound systems that can sometimes require hours of setup. Not to mention the ever-changing face of technology, with new multi-format, multi-standard, media-rich devices coming out all the time. Whether analyzing a PA, mixing an album, or recording ready-to-use audio files on a movie set, sound engineers need familiar tools in a compact setup that can go anywhere.
Metric Halo, with its seven-year history of developing signal-processing solutions for the professional audio industry, knows what it takes to accommodate musicians on the road. In fact, the company's Mobile I/O line of FireWire interfaces, which gives sound engineers the power and sound of a professional recording studio in about the same dimensions as a laptop, has seen live tours with such cutting-edge bands as "No Doubt," "Dave Matthews Band," and John Mayer. Metric Halo products were also used in films such as Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," and international events such as the opening ceremonies of the 2004 Summer Olympics.
When Metric Halo was looking for a processor to drive Mobile I/O, designers wanted one that was cost-effective, superb at floating-point operations, and versatile enough to handle communications, system control, and audio processing. Metric Halo chose a SHARC processor from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). "SHARC was by far, the best solution for us," said Dr. B.J. Buchalter, V.P of R&D at Metric Halo. "SHARC is flexible enough to support all of our requirements, and at a modest cost per part."
Test: One, Two
Metric Halo realized that sound engineers on the road are plagued with hours of sound checks, phasing problems, and ever changing venues and rental equipment. The company wanted to develop a portable, signal-processing interface that could turn a laptop into a miniature console. So the company set out to develop a modular pro audio processing unit sound engineers could take anywhere Mobile I/O. The interface itself was to include FireWire connectivity, A/D and D/A converters, and powerful onboard processing to allow engineers to record, play and mix anywhere, anytime with top-notch studio quality.
Metric Halo found the majority of traditional digital signal processors on the market incapable of supporting portable media-rich audio applications flexibly and efficiently. They also didn't have sufficient system control capabilities for demanding signal-processing applications. Metric Halo found ADI's SHARC processor perfect for the job. The first implementation of Mobile I/O was based on a SHARC ADSP-21065L processor, a powerful member of the SHARC family of 32-bit processors optimized for cost-sensitive applications. SHARC (Super Harvard Architecture) offers the highest levels of performance and memory integration of any 32-bit processor in the industry targeted at audio applications. In addition to 32-bit fixed and floating-point data types, SHARC offers a unique, 40-bit floating-point data type, which is perfect for demanding audio applications. It combines a floating-point processor core with integrated, on-chip system features, including 544Kbit SRAM memory, a host processor interface, a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller, a SDRAM controller, and two enhanced serial ports.
Making the Most of I/O
Buchalter says Metric Halo utilized virtually every I/O feature of the processor. The company implemented a solution that employs a cluster of two SHARC processors and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Metric Halo implemented FireWire for Mobile I/O using the FPGA (which supports isochronous data) coupled with standard 1394 LLC and PHY silicon. FireWire (also known as the IEEE 1394 standard) was chosen because it is a high-speed serial bus that allows for the connection of up to 63 devices and supports hot
swapping, multiple speeds on the same bus, and isochronous data transfer. It provides guaranteed bandwidth for multimedia operations.
The ADSP-21262 SHARC Processor
The ADSP-21262 SHARC processor is the first member of the third-generation of SHARC programmable processors ideal for a range of applications, including high-quality audio. It supports 32-bit fixed-point and 32/40-bit floating-point arithmetic formats. System I/O is achieved through six full-duplex serial ports, four timers, a 16-bit parallel port, a serial peripheral interface (SPI), and 22 zero-overhead DMA channels, which deliver fast data transfers without processor intervention.
The ADSP-21262 introduces the Digital Applications Interface (DAI), an architecture that enables complete software programmability of various peripherals. The flexibility and ease-of-use of the SHARC programming model, combined with the DAI, allows manufacturers to deploy one hardware configuration into multiple product offerings with different I/O requirements.
Connections are made using the flexible Signal Routing Unit (SRU), a matrix routing group of pins that provides configurable and flexible connectivity between all DAI components and the SRU. This level of integration enables the designer to take full advantage of a wide variety of peripherals without sacrificing the overall system performance.
Metric Halo used all of the serial ports and most of the flag pins of both SHARC processors. The synchronous serial ports on the ADSP-21065L SHARC provide an inexpensive interface to a wide variety of digital and mixed-signal peripheral devices, operating at 1x clock frequency. Serial port data can be automatically transferred to and from on-chip memory via DMA, without processor intervention. "Both SHARC processors fully utilize the chained DMA resources of the SHARC architecture," says Buchalter.
What's more, ADI's glueless cluster-bus technology, in combination with Metric Halo's own dynamic linker (which compiles and links signal processing plug-ins into the running code) allows Mobile I/O users to "patch in" to the signal flow running through the box. Users can construct complex signal processing chains out of more basic elements to further sculpt the sound of audio running through the interface. "Our Mobile I/O system also supports in-circuit re-programming," Buchalter explains. "Customers can update the FLASH, firmware, and FPGA micro-code via the FireWire-to-SDRAM interface. The process uses the full spectrum of the ADSP-21065L SHARC processor's I/O and memory features, seamlessly integrating arbitrary user code into a running system."
More Processing Power Please
Because the signal processing requirements of dedicated media processing systems grow exponentially, Metric Halo realized that the Mobile I/O product line would eventually need a much larger reservoir of processing power. To prepare for this, the company adopted ADI's third-generation ADSP-21262 SHARC processor. With its core running at 200MHz, the ADSP-21262 SHARC processor is capable of executing complex operations more than 2.6x faster than comparatively priced processors. In audio applications, its
single-instruction, multiple data (SIMD) mode effectively doubles the processor performance.
For the next generation of its Mobile I/O product line, Metric Halo developed a hybrid design that incorporates the ADSP-21065L and ADSP-21262 SHARC processors. "We separated the FireWire and control stacks from the audio processing engine, to make both portions of the product more robust, flexible and powerful," said Buchalter. "We moved all of the audio processing onto the ADSP-21262 SHARC, because it supports them best." Since the FireWire and control stacks can't take advantage of the ADSP-21262 SHARC processor's SIMD extensions, Metric Halo dedicated the full power of the ADSP-21065L SHARC processor to FireWire processing. "The programming architecture and development tools are virtually the same for both processors, so we were able to move the existing code to the new processor easily with the exception of a few tweaks, which saved us a tremendous amount of time and money," said Buchalter. "And since the ADSP-21262 SHARC cluster is so much more powerful, we deployed more processing and more intensive algorithms." Metric Halo developed its own clustering for the new processor.
Metric Halo continues to broaden the I/O options available with its products, increasing the amount of digital signal processing power available on each board. Ultimately, this means buying more and faster processors. The company has also been working hard to publish an open-source software development kit (SDK) to allow third parties to develop their own signal processing plug-ins for Mobile I/O.
By taking advantage of the SHARC's high-performance signal-processing core, sophisticated memory and I/O subsystems, and flexible algorithm development environment, Metric Halo created a portfolio of pro audio products that bridges the gap between the studio and the road. Mobile I/O brings power, portability and sheer sound quality to recording/editing/mixing systems, interfacing a computer seamlessly with the audio world, both in the field and in the studio. If you're a musician, producer, or sound engineer who's dissatisfied with the sound you're getting for that on-location concert, movie, or event, don't worry. With portable solutions from ADI and Metric Halo, you can fix it in the mix.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Geographic Watch For 2011
While not totally new, the 2011 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Geographic is a refresh of the popular world time watch from the popular Swiss watch maker. With slicker face that feels more refined in its presentation, the watch still offers a valuable features set. Aside from the time, the watch offers the date, power reserve indication for the movement, and has a full featured world time. The world time function even has allowances for cities that rely on daylight saving times. The second time zone that is associated with the city selector at the bottom of the dial is shown on a subsidiary time dial that is in a 12 hour format. Next to the dial is a small 24 hour indictor that functions as an AM/PM indicator so that you know whether it is day or night in that other city.
Operating the functions is rather effortless, with Jaeger-LeCoultre almost perfecting the experience of having a straight forward world timer. Inside the watch is a JLC in-house made Calibre 939 automatic movement. The steel or 18k pink gold case remains modest in size at 39mm wide - though JLC does offer larger, more sporty models with similar functions. The watch comes on black or brown alligator strap. The Master Geographic has a lovely, timeless appeal that suits the regular traveler well - and is even nicer for 2011.
