London (Nov. 26)
The British Government is richer today by nearly one and a half million pounds in death dues, the windfall resulting from the will admitted to probate yesterday of Maurice Marcus who died in September at the age of 78, leaving nearly three million pounds from which the Government may claim almost half.
Publication of the will caused a sensation because Marcus' wealth was an absolute secret and even his closest friends are astonished at the vastness of the fortune.
Marcus was unmarried. He made his fortune in South African diamonds and is said to have done his own bookkeeping to prevent knowledge of his fortune.
He was a friend of Cecil Rhoades. Numerous small bequests made to charities include 1000 pounds to the Jewish Board of Guardians.

Why not cash in?
Eric Heyl's Q&A with meteorologist Joe Bastardi ( "Getting the right answer," ) was fascinating because Bastardi said, in several different ways, that he has no motivation for denying global warming other than the desire to get the right answer. Bastardi also claimed climate scientists who reported global warming for years have their careers invested in this prediction, so they can't let themselves see the truth.
Perhaps Heyl might next interview scientist Richard Muller, who, like Bastardi, denied global warming was happening. However, Muller undertook his own scientific study (paid for by fossil fuel interests) and found, to his surprise, that global warming is real. Muller, a physics researcher, wasn't so invested in his previous denials that he couldn't see the truth. Muller publicly acknowledged his error in 2011.
Heyl might also interview physicist Christopher Keating who offered a $30,000 reward to anyone who proves man-made climate change is not real. If Keating weren't willing to consider the possibility that someone else might have a better analysis, he wouldn't offer such a hefty reward.
If Bastardi's colleagues at the Las Vegas conference on climate change don't apply for this reward, it suggests they lack proof global warming isn't real, and the press should stop listening to them.

Matthew Sweet made a name for himself in the 1980s music scene. Miles Zuniga only knows of the 40 Watt.
He'll have a much better knowledge of the club and Sweet this Monday. Zuniga will open for Sweet's homecoming set, a set Sweet will work his entire "Girlfriend" album into.
"His manager used to be my manager, and we're all still really friendly," Zuniga said of Sweet. "I saw he was doing some dates, and I had my new album coming out. Plus, we had toured a lot before."
The last time Zuniga played with Sweet, Fastball was a big deal on the pop music scene, and Zuniga was the lead singer. Fastball still is together, a good decade since its rise to stardom with songs like "The Way" and "Out of My Head."
But Zuniga's new record doesn't sound like Fastball. It's darker and perhaps a bit more intense. He recorded it shortly after his 11-year marriage failed. Marriage should come with a warning label, he says now, but he'll take the scar that came with the divorce.
"That was the inspiration for the record, all that I was going through," he said. "Making the record proved to be a life saver for me. I got to let all of my emotions out. I don't recommend getting a divorce just to get a good song out of it, but breakups often make the best songs."
On Monday, Zuniga will try to break your heart — albeit informally. He will take the stage with just his guitar and an idea of what he wants to play.
"If people want to hear some Fastball, I'll be happy to play that, too," he said. "I take an Iron Chef approach to playing live. Here are my songs. Let's see what I can do with them."

Glutathione Benefits
What are the Glutathione Benefits?
Glutathione is a tripeptide that consists of 3 main molecules – glycine, glutamine and cysteine. Glutathione, or GSH, helps to prevent damage to our cells by reactive oxygen species like free radicals and peroxides. Glutathione is the most vital molecule that is needed for one too stay healthy and prevent aging, heart disease, cancer, dementia and a lot more. Glutathione is ideal for anti aging.
Free radicals or oxidative stress of aging suggests that the main cause of aging come from accumulation of free radicals and oxidative damage. This accumulation naturally comes about as we become old due to the decrease of glutathione levels which is essential in neutralizing free radicals and repairing oxidative damage. Professionals believe there is a link between free radicals accumulation, glutathione status and reactive oxygen species.
By improving reduced glutathione, you can help handle the pitfalls of aging. Learning about the glutathione benefits and obtaining information about glutathione is crucial in understanding how you can raise your glutathione levels and fight free radicals in your body. Anti inflammatory Inflammation is the main cause of nearly all chronic health conditions. Inflammation releases free radicals that damage nearby cells and is the reason for progression of a disease.
Besides glutathione inflammation fighting capabilities, it also helps to repair the damage that caused the inflammation in the first place. It is essential to treat inflammation because it affects the quality of life and health. Some symptoms of chronic inflammation are discomfort on the joints, liver cirrhosis, chronic pain, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Increasing the level of glutathione will not only help to repair the damage that is caused by inflammation but will also repair damage caused by inflammatory response.
Glutathione is helpful increasing athletic performance and recovery. This is something that will not just be of use to professional athletes and those who go to the gym often. Everyone is going to benefit from glutathione's ability to improve stamina, muscle strength and tissue recovery. Working out is part of leading a healthy lifestyle but it can also cause injury to the body via oxidative damage.
Studies indicate that the levels of glutathione increase a lot during intense workouts. This increase is a response to the oxidative damage that is caused by exercising. A lot of fitness enthusiasts and athletes supplement their glutathione levels to help deal with oxidative stress. Reducing oxidative stress caused by working out is important for people who workout often and those who do not. It helps to protect the body from damage and optimize athletic performance. By dealing with oxidative stress and free radical formation, glutathione helps to increase muscular strength and muscle stamina.
This is something that everyone can benefit from regardless their physical prowess. Brain health Brain is vulnerable to oxidative damage because it requires a lot of oxygen. Oxidative damage is bad to the neurological function and development which leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases. Preventing and repairing oxidative damage is one of the functions of glutathione in the body. It not only improves neurological development but also helps to prevent neurological disorders throughout the aging process. One of the most common neurodegenerative disease is Alzheimer's.
A lot of oxidative damage is seen in the brain of an Alzheimer's patient before signs of Alzheimer's are noticed. Experts say that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction is what leads to progression of Alzheimer's. The role of glutathione in preventing and repairing oxidative damage makes it one of the most ideal brain health antioxidants that can be readily supplemented.
Alzheimer's disease is just but one of the many neurological disorders that needs an increase in the level of glutathione. One of the earliest biochemical derangements that is seen in patient with Parkinson's disease is complete loss of glutathione which shows a link between reduced levels of glutathione and aging brain health. Due to the fact that the level of glutathione decreases with time, there is need to replenish it. There are a lot of effective ways that one can use to increase the levels of glutathione. By giving the body the right nutrients and movement that it needs to be in a state of balance, one can optimize the production of glutathione in the long run. Whey proteins replenish glutathione by increasing cysteine which helps in regenerating glutathione when it is finished from an immune response. Whey protein is the best supplement to naturally increase glutathione for fighting cancer, increasing metabolism, reducing appetite and strengthening the immune system.
It is vital that you avoid whey protein that is isolate or processed. The most ideal one is goat whey protein as a dietary supplement. You may want to consider using whey protein powder that is organic or natural and is free from hormones, artificial sweeteners, pesticides, genetically modified organisms and is gluten free. Add more vegetables and fresh fruits in your diet. Most fruits and vegetables provide glutathione.
In order to get the most glutathione from this food groups, each fruits and vegetables that are not processed or overcooked. Processing and overcooking is going to reduce the level of glutathione in these foods.Fruits and veggies that contain the most glutathione per serving is potatoes, carrots, onions, melon, bananas, peaches, oranges, broccoli, avocado, tomatoes, apples, spinach, okra, turnips and onions. Cyanohydroxybutene which is a chemical in cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and chlorophyll in parsley are thought to increase the levels of glutathione.
Another effective way to increase the level of glutathione is by working out. This is the best way to increase metabolism and stimulate the body to produce more glutathione in order to fight external toxins. Start your workout program with light aerobic workout such as jogging, walking, swimming and riding a bicycle.All forms of moderate workout have been shown to increase the level of glutathione in the blood.
This includes combines training aerobics, weight training, circuit weight training and combined training aerobics. You can easily begin with ten to fifteen minutes of activity and then increase to thirty and forty minutes per session. Try and exercise at least four times a week to get the best results. With the above information, you are now aware of the benefits of glutathione and the right sources of increasing glutathione.
What is glutathione?
Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants and is found in animals, plants, fungi and some kinds of bacteria. It prevents free radicals, heavy metals, lipid and non-lipid peroxides and other reactive oxygen species from causing damage to the most important components of the cells.
Free radicals, owing to their instability and consequent erratic behavior, have the potential to cause cell damage that would be virtually unlimited without antioxidants to hold their numbers in check — and glutiathone, which is the only antioxidant that is known to occur naturally within the cells — is the "master antioxidant." Although it was first identified in 1888, it was not until almost a century later that scientists began to undertake thorough investigations into the role that it plays in human metabolism.
Disulfide bonds — consisting of two atoms of sulfur — form within cytoplasmic proteins, and it is within the cytoplasm that the majority of cellular activities take place. Glutiathone serves as an electron donor and thus reduces these bonds to cysteines, a form of amino acid (acids that serve as the building blocks for proteins). This article will provide a broad overview of the benefits of glutathione — how it works and how it can be replenished. More Benefits of Glutathione Numerous ailments can be treated with glutathione, to which we shall henceforth refer as GSH.
Some of these are:
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• certain diseases of the lungs
• AIDS and HIV
• some kinds of cancer — The powerful antioxidant properties of GSH make it valuable as a supplement in such dangerous forms of cell growth, which also include lipomas. For this reason, some physicians recommend it as a form of supplementary cancer treatment; and GHS also makes anti-cancer drugs more effective and less toxic.
• age-related macular degeneration — This condition, which usually occurs in older adults, is characterized by a decrease in vision.
• idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis — when the lungs become progressively less functional, ultimately resulting in the death of the patient • Parkinson's disease — a nervous system disorder characterized by loss of muscular control
• sickle-cell anemia — This hereditary disease occurs almost exclusively among people of African descent. In addition, GSH can help boost the immune system. Because it exists within the cell — and it is part of all cells, including those of the immune system — it is a more powerful antioxidant than vitamins C or E, both of which neutralize free radicals.
Cells that have been damaged by infection, pollution, radiation, stress or other causes can be repaired by GSH. Other things that this primary water-soluble antioxidant can do include:
• restoring vitamin C to the form in which the body can use it
• helping to store and transport amino acids
Probably not many people are aware of this fact, but GSH has been revealed to improve the quality of sperm in diabetic patients, in whom it lowers the blood pressure, and thus the oxidation stress to which sensitive sperm cells are exposed. The damage to the DNA is thus minimized, and doctors recommend the use of GSH supplements for couples who are trying to have a baby.
A membrane made of polyunsaturated fats, which lipid peroxidation makes vulnerable to oxidative stress, encloses the spermatozoa. When the sperm membrane is degraded by free radicals, the sperm become less motile and their morphology becomes increasingly abnormal, reducing their ability to penetrate the ova. Research conducted in 2011 by a team of medical experts led by Dr. Z. U. Naher revealed that GSH levels and infertility are closely connected. Both the volume of semen and the sperm count were 0.001 percent less in the infertile group than in the fertile group.
Other facts were revealed also, and they can be read at http://human-fertility.com/powerful-antioxidant-capacity-glutathione-supports-healthy-male-fertility/.
The result is clear: Healthier and more fertile men have higher concentrations of seminal plasma GSH. Does Glutathione increase or decrease over time? As the body ages, the ability of the cells to fix themselves and to manufacture strong antioxidants decreases.
Indeed, this decrease begins to take place after we reach the age of twenty. Free radicals, which play a big part in the aging process, In addition, GHS levels go down markedly when a person is sick. People with chronic disease are therefore advised to keep their amounts of GHS above a certain level.
How can glutathione be replenished?
The primary way of replenishing the supply of GSH in the body is by following a diet that consists of foods high in that substance. Foods that are rich in GHS include freshly-cooked meats and many types of fruits and vegetables. The capacity of one's diet to boost GSH levels is limited, however, because the process of digestion breaks it down, the GHS molecule as such being too big to fit in the digestive track.
This fact rules out the use of oral GSH supplements. Instead, doctors recommend the kinds of nutritional supplements that help the body to recycle GSH that has already been used. Your diet can be an important factor, though, if it is high in vitamins C and E and other key antioxidants that operate in tandem with GSH (see next paragraph).
Once a GSH molecule has stripped a free radical of one of its outer electrons, it cannot do the same thing again unless it is recycled. However, amino acids often work as a "team," and in the case of GSH, there is lipoic acid (ALA), which boosts GSH levels and also restores its power as an antioxidant. Taking ten milligrams of ALA, which is absorbed in supplements easily, per day is the best way of boosting GSH levels. Another amino acid, n-acetyl cysteine, is also good at increasing our levels of GSH. In addition to dieting properly and taking supplements, you should also follow other lifestyle habits.
This includes eating too many foods that are high in nitrates, such as luncheon meats; smoking; and especially drinking. When you drink an alcoholic beverage, it goes directly to the liver, which is robbed of its stores of GSH. In the ever-raging battle against aging and loss of vitality, GSH is probably the biggest weapon.

The best part about summer is festivals. From Coachella to Lalapalooza, music festivals across the nation bring fans of all types together to share a love for music. What I love about festivals is the fashion trends that show up. My favorite look this year at Coachella was feathered shoulders. Fashionistas took the risk of an extravagant accessory that stands out from everyone else.
Being out in the sun all day requires a big sun hat with a pair of statement sunglasses. Wether you're walking on the streets of New York or at the beach in Los Angeles, you are bound to spot a wide-rimmed suede sun hat. Celebutantes like Kylie Jenner pair a sun hat with almost every outfit.
I spotted this Fashionista on the streets of Santa Monica by her combination of different textures and color pairing. Mustard yellow can be hard to pair with, but as a high-waisted skirt her choice of a simple black bandeau was perfect. This Fashionista's accessory choice is strong. Easy to access with little bulk, her accessories are brilliant for a festival look that brings this outfit together. From the studded booties complementing her hunter sun hat to the short key necklace with a longer chain, she took her simple and cute outfit to the next level!
The watch is what makes the outfit. Being at a festival can become stressful if you are trying to make each show on time. Having a watch is always the best backup in case your cell phone dies.
One Simple Change: For a chilly night out kick it up a notch with a black lace kimono. It adds warmth and life to the outfit while keeping its natural vibe alive.

Burn More Calories This Week: Walk to Work
There are so many simple things you can do to burn more calories in one day, especially if you live and work in a city.
Instead of taking the subway, bus or cab to work. Walk. I am not saying do it everyday (especially if you're running really late), but try briskly walking to or from work at least once this week. If you like it, next week try doing it at least twice. Slowly build up to doing it all of the time.
Live too far to possibly walk and still make it on time? Well then you can still take the subway, but get off a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way. You could burn upwards of 69* calories for every 15 minutes of briskly walking. You'll burn more if you're carrying a load, like your laptop and purse.
*Based on a 140 pound woman.

There have been a lot of awful or inspiring stories coming out of Hurricane Sandy. This manages to be both. A man found a note in his house scrawled by a person who had taken a blanket to keep hypothermia at bay. The author of the note was sure he was dying.
Apparently even the prospect of being cooped up is enough to make some people go bonkers. Here is video proof -- it's a handy-dandy compilation of all the bizarre antics accidentally caught by news cameras during Hurricane Sandy.
To celebrate the release of one of our favorite blogs-turned-books, 'Underwater Dogs,' here are some pictures that helped bring photographer Seth Casteel such great success. If you love them, you can find more in his book, which is available here and makes for much better conversation than your current coffee table book, 'Our Bodies, Ourselves.'
Liam Neeson went on 'The Jonathan Ross' show, and gave this very...intense reading of Justin Bieber's song 'Boyfriend.' Of course he did -- he's Liam Neeson, so it's not going to be all puppies and rainbows. We'd like to meet the woman brave enough to turn this guy down.
This confused woman has got cause and effect all switched around. She called into a radio station in Fargo, North Dakota saying that deer crossing signs should be moved... so that deer would start crossing elsewhere.
Ohhhh, so *this* is why Henry Thomas was cast as Elliott in 'E.T.' This tape of his audition shows little Henry crying so hard, it really could make you cry as much as the actual movie.
Ahhhh, 'Hocus Pocus' -- the story of three evil (singing and dancing) witches who like to eat children and sometimes also turn them into cats. They are temporarily resurrected by a kid trying to impress a lady, and then they make everyone dance, Dance, DANCE! Since this is a Disney movie, eventually the day is saved and they all lived happily ever after. But did the cast follow suit in real life? See what the stars of 'Hocus Pocus' are up to today.
Awww, this guy is so nice. And awkward. And he did mankind a favor with this little bit of field research. Taylor Swift should not be used as pickup lines -- the only thing that comes from it is massive confusion and mild physical discomfort.
We're having a bit of an 'America's Funniest Home Videos' day here. First there was the incredibly painful faceplant compilation, and now we've got this kid getting smacked right in the face with a soccer ball by his dad.
We know -- the first thing we thought when we saw this was "who draws that well on white board" too! Once we got over that, we realized we should actually be paying attention to what this guy's saying...
If you think it's funny when people fall and get hurt, you are going to think this NSFW video is HILARIOUS.
"Money ... comes from a magical place called 'our parents.'" This is one of many lessons "Mitt Romney" teaches in this 'Mister Rogers' spoof from Jimmy Fallon.

Einstein said the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." That may be so, but it certainly is the definition of stupidity. Which is why the behavior of Obama administration and congressional liberals is so puzzling.
Wasn't the Obama administration supposed to be populated by the elite of Ivy League intelligentsia, each cabinet secretary brighter than the last? Just weeks after the election, ABC's George Stephanopoulos swooned "We have not seen this kind of combination of star power and brain power and political muscle this early in a cabinet in our lifetimes." Newsweek called Obama economic adviser Larry Summers "brash and brilliant" and part of "a team of Harvard and Yale types whose SAT scores have not been equaled since the Kennedy administration."
The infusion of blue gray matter into Washington was going to calm the economic waters, create entire new "green" industries and maybe usher in a golden age for D.C.'s art-house movie theaters. Heck, Obama even tapped Hillary ("World's Smartest Woman") Clinton to be Secretary of State.
It must be that these sages really are that incandescently brilliant, thinking thoughts so profound only the Nobel Prize Committee can even tell they exist. That's the only explanation for the contrast between the promised genius (inability to operate "Turbo-Tax" notwithstanding) and cranium-thumping stupidity now on display.
We're not talking about misstatements or gaffs – Janet Napolitano's bizarre assertion that the border with Canada is our real weak spot comes to mind. So does the White House giving British Prime Minister a collection of old DVDs that won't even play in his country. So do half the things Joe Biden says.
No, the problem is that they keep pounding their heads against a locked door, expecting it to open. Each time they lurch back from the impact they're a little woozier. But they keep right on banging.
On issue after issue, the liberals have shown that they generally have only one idea (usually involving government doing things it shouldn't). When that idea fails, they … try it again. And again. This summer, the public resoundingly rejected the substance of their health care reform. So they went back to the drawing board, counted to 60 and came back with the same plan, hanging words like "co-op" and "trigger" on it in the hope that nobody would notice.
Every time Obama spoke on health care, more of the public decided they didn't like what he was selling. In June, before the big health care push, Rasmussen polling had support for health care reform at 50 percent. By September 15, after the "All-Barack, All-Health Care, All-The-Time" summer, it was down to 42 percent. What to do … Hey, why not go on six TV shows in two days to talk about health care?
How about the economy? Obama and his staff demanded and got a massive $787 billion stimulus package back in February, warning that we would see unemployment reach 8 percent otherwise. Now that unemployment is poised to hit 10 percent by the end of the year, Hill liberals and media types are floating the idea of a second stimulus. It's like the scene in "Monty Python and The Holy Grail" when, realizing he'd forgotten to hide in the Trojan rabbit with his comrades, Bedevere says, "Look, if we build a large wooden badger …"
Foreign policy and national security aren't any better. Apparently the president's numerous wea-culpa tours were intended to soften up all those international types that were so cross with the Bush Administration. Clearly, the Russians aren't buying. Miss Smarty Pants-Suit has been unable to get them to agree to sanctions on Iran, probably because the Iranian nuclear facilities are stuffed with equipment stamped "From Russia with Love." Still, if we just talk a little more, listen a little more and maybe apologize again, the mullahs will close up the labs, or at least admit the Holocaust really happened.
And now, as Obama hesitates to give his hand-picked general the resources he says he needs in Afghanistan, strategic geniuses like Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., are arguing that against it, saying we should concentrate on training the Afghan army and executing pin-point counter-terrorism operations. You know, because that worked so well the first four years of the Iraq war.
The media never seem to notice. Like proud parents unable to accept that little Barry probably shouldn't be in the advanced placement classes, they help the administration cast about for scapegoats. The problem couldn't be the inherent awfulness of liberal ideas. It must be the fault of Fox News, the "Teabaggers," the Town Hallers – the racists.
And they're still bragging about little Barry to the neighbors. In August, USA Today's Richard Wolf was impressed by Obama's "hefty" vacation reading list of "smart" books that reflected "exquisite taste." And this month, AP's Nancy Benac admired the "highly sophisticated" and "impressive assortment of modern and contemporary [art] work" now adorning the private apartments at the White House. Wonder what they did with W's "Dogs Playing Poker" print.
At some point, even the media's going to have to drop the charade and come to terms with the fact that when you're facing two wars, a deep recession and growing unemployment, that Harvard degree may not be worth the paper it's printed on.

Mumbai, Nov. 3: Indias foreign exchange reserves grew by $1.3 billion in the week ended October 26, which was a third of the inflows in the previous week. Foreign exchange reserves increased $1.30 billion to $262.45 billion in the week. The reserves had increased by $4.45 billion at $261.14 billion for the week ended October 19. The inflows last week were much lower compared with the inflows over the past one month. Foreign currency assets for the week stood at $254.62 billion, up by $1.30 billion.
IMF hint
Washington, Nov. 3: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) today advised India against putting any restrictions on capital inflows in the face of appreciating rupee. It said any such move might undermine confidence of foreign investors on the Indian economy.

Heavy rains moving through the area Friday morning reportedly contributed to a rock slide on Interstate 77 approximately six miles north of the U.S. 40/Cambridge exit.
The Guernsey County Sheriffs Office reported receiving two emergency 911 calls at approximately 9 a.m. alerting authorities to the rock slide.
Crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation, along with troopers from the Ohio State Highway, were dispatched to the scene. Reports from the scene indicate at least two vehicles were pulled off the side of the roadway, possibly damaged during the rock slide.
No injuries were reported as of press time today.
With the Cambridges early warning siren system operational, residents may now receive advance warning of an approaching tornado.
According to City Engineer Paul Sherry, should a tornado warning be issued for our area by the National Weather Service, the sirens will be activated with a continuous, steady tone. Though the tone may appear to rise and fall, this is due to the effect of the rotating siren units.
Should the system be activated, Sherry said residents should seek cover and, if possible, tune into television or radio broadcasts for more information.
A tornado watch is issued when conditions are conducive to the formation of a tornado. A tornado warning indicates a confirmed sighting of a tornado.

ONE of Burnley's best-known business parks is being brought back to life – almost two years after it closed.
Accrington Road's Vulcan Works estate, formerly home to Brian Rourke and Co ironworks, has been sold off in four chunks by property developer Prospect Estates.
Work is ongoing to re-connect the Rosegrove site's electricity supply and new firms are expected to be up-and-running later this year.
Among the businesses confirmed to be moving in are Service Alliance Ltd and Shaun Kendal Joinery.
Maintenance firm Service Alliance is currently based at Holker Business Centre in Burnley Road, Colne, while Shaun Kendal Joinery operates from Astley House in Albert Street, Burnley.
Prospect Estates said two other unnamed companies were also looking to move onto the 6,915 square metre complex, including one 'significant name'.
Tim Whittaker, director of new business at the Leeds-based developer, said: "The site will enjoy a significant new lease of life, bringing new jobs to Burnley.
"This represents a fantastic time for Burnley as the new firms will be able to bring new jobs to the area and bring back to life a previously disused factory."
Founded in 1961, Brian Rourke and Co employed more than 100 people at its peak but went into administration in July 2013 with the loss of 37 jobs.
Vulcan Works, formerly home to Willie Holt's Burnley Billiard Works, was purchased by Prospect Estates from administrators BDO LLP last June.
A spokesman for Electricity North West, said: "We have replaced four-way lights with temporary traffic lights on Accrington Road in Burnley in order for our engineers to connect a new power supply to two businesses.
"We apologise for any inconvenience and assure residents and motorists that we are working with the council to complete the work as soon as possible."

Titles such as Just Cause 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops don't perform so well, but the settings are hardly uniform in the Russian site's testing (8x AA in Black Ops, for example). Even here, with the card operating at 1080p with very, very high levels of anti-aliasing, that GTX 460 is still giving similar, if not outright better performance to what we see in the console versions of Black Ops. Dial back the AA, switch to 720p, and the chances are that both frame-rate and image quality would exceed the console games running in 2D mode.
720p performance of 3D Vision is clearly something worthy of more study, especially since ideally we would be looking to use v-sync in all cases - screen-tear can be unduly distracting on 3D titles, taking the form of an odd flickering in one eye only. Expect to see a follow-up Digital Foundry feature comparing performance over multiple GPUs, and factoring in console equivalents where possible. Black Ops would be a great start.
Consoles have many advantages in terms of game development focus (a fixed hardware platform that game-makers can exploit being first and foremost amongst them), but the fact is they are using very old graphics technology. The PlayStation 3's RSX chip is equivalent, if not identical in many ways to an NVIDIA 7800GTX with 256MB of RAM. It's no surprise therefore that games designed for consoles can scale up so spectacularly well on PC graphics hardware that is generations ahead.
In some ways it is a shame that few games are being made that target the full potential of today's latest and greatest GPUs, but on the flipside it does mean that performance-sapping applications like true stereoscopic 3D can be handled with ease.
Consoles have issues with fill-rate (the amount of pixels being "painted") and geometry, which has to be processed twice to create a true stereoscopic effect. These are the reasons why Killzone 3 operates at a lower resolution in 3D mode, and why titles like Black Ops and WipEout 3D are running at much lower frame-rates than in the conventional 2D mode. The continuing, constant evolution of graphics technology sees PC users effortlessly power through these limitations - console levels of geometry are child's play for PC graphics tech, so processing it twice isn't really an issue at all.
Indeed, there is an argument that PC graphics cards have so much leftover power running console conversions that developments like 3D Vision came about simply to make some use of this untapped power.
"That's not quite true, as many of the newer games are utilising innovative GPU features to change the gaming experience," NVIDIA's Andrew Fear counters. "Two examples: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2, which pushed tessellation to the limit, and Mafia 2, which implemented GPU-accelerated PhysX. Some games do have some GPU processing left, and we offer 3D Vision as a way to use that and create an entirely new experience for our customers."
On paper at least, a 3D Vision-equipped PC looks like being pretty much the best present you could give yourself after forking out for a brand new 3DTV, with the added advantage of the machine doubling up as a media centre with playback capabilities that are second to none. Clearly there is a cost implication - a decent PC with quad-core CPU and GTX 460 will cost significantly more than a PS3 and Xbox 360 combined - but the sheer power you're getting for that outlay is phenomenal, the games you're buying will be much cheaper and the available catalogue of 3D software outstrips any other platform.
Just how much will such a PC cost? Build it from scratch and you can save some cash, but smart cookies might wait for Dell to come up with one of its periodically super-cheap offers then buy in the graphics card separately. Or else you can seek out a reputable independent PC builder and get a 2.8GHz quad-core Sandy Bridge machine with GTX 460 for around �600 delivered.
Perhaps, like many, you are waiting for 3DTV prices to come down, or maybe you won't pull the trigger until a glasses-free 3D display hits the market. There's obviously demand for them, and they are coming. Even in this situation though, the unstoppable evolution of GPU power works to your advantage, because the longer you wait, the more powerful graphics cards become - and the chances are that we have a long wait until next-generation, 3D-capable consoles arrive.

We have recently discovered new information about using a template for your website and want to share it. Some of this information is quite alarming so if you're thinking of going with a website template – like ArtSpan, Square Space or WIX – this will be of interest to you.
Your Website Will Not be Unique or Exclusive to You or Your Art. No matter how much you customize and tweak it there will be a uniform look. Guaranteed that hundreds of other artists and businesses will be using this same template.
There Will be Limits to Design Elements. You will only have so much control over typefaces, colors, backgrounds and even banners (your logo) that you can use.
No or Little Search Engine Optimization. Some templates may allow you to enter keywords but that's it. You will not be able to enter formal Meta-tag Keywords or Descriptions at all.
Not Search Engine Friendly. Some website templates won't even be compatible with Search Engine Spiders and/or confuse them. That means that your website will not be visible on Search Engines at all. What's the purpose of creating a website in the first place if it can't be found? If you can't gain new contacts, viewers and buyers?
Not Being Able to Choose Image Size or Optimize Your Images for the Web.
Website Templates may require that you size your images according to their perimeters and that may be way too small or may even skew your images into an odd shape. Your images should also be optimized for viewing on the internet and that takes skill – where a website designer can help you. They can also be optimized for Search Engines.
Needing to Know Code such as .html or .css What's the point of using a template at all and if you have to use code? If you knew how to use code you'd design a website yourself without a template, right?
Unwanted Advertising or Banners on Your Website. This is why we say be careful what you wish for when it comes to free website templates because free isn't always free. You may see huge banners, flashing elements and some may even create noise. The main focus of your website should always be your art.
Favicon will be the logo of the template/not yours. Remember that the favicon is the little symbol that appears to the left of the website address or page title on your browser. It does nothing more than add a professional look to your website. If that favicon belongs to someone else then it isn't professional.
Too Much Design Code. .html (Hypertext Markup Language) is what drives the internet. Website templates can have pages and pages of code that will clog up your website, slow down the speed of opening the page and your images and confuse Search Engines when they are evaluating your website for categorization.
The following is where things can get especially alarming….
Some Website Templates Will Require You to Use Their Hosting and Domain Registration Services. That can add up quickly and become expensive. Some fees are monthly and some are yearly. It's better to register your domain and get hosting elsewhere because if you do lose the website unexpectedly or decide to upgrade you will have the assurance of more control.
You Could Unexpectedly Lose Your Website. When you register with a template host you will undoubtedly sign or be subject to their Terms of Agreement. Should they suddenly decide that your website violates their Terms they could take it down without prior notice or your agreeing to it.
You Won't Own Your Website. While you will own the images and text on your website you won't own the website design itself. This is a crazy quirk of the U.S. Copyright Laws (the person writing the code or the person that owns the template code owns the copyright). This also means that should you decide to upgrade to a professionally designed website you and your new designer won't have access to any design elements from the template.
No One to Call If You Need Help. Should something go wrong with your website you may not be able to pick up the phone and get help with it. Should you actually be able to speak to someone they may speak in technical language that you won't understand. We've had this experience with some hosts. No matter how many times we've asked they refuse to get out of that geek mode.
Remember that these issues don't apply to every template service but in most cases one or two will. Don't take that risk.
The reason we decided to make website design one of the primary services we offer artists was for fair and professional treatment. There are many businesses out there just waiting to take advantage of an unsuspecting artist. Most designers will also charge exorbitant fees. We've seen websites start at $2000.00. Depending on what you need we usually wind up charging $600 and not only will you get a website, you will get so much more. Including Full Ownership of Your Website, Meta-Tagging Every Page and Coaching for Internet Success. We have a proven track record of success for artists so please Click Here to See What We Can Do for You: www.theartistobjective.com/websitedesign.html

MONTEBELLO - A new airship designed to carry massive cargo is almost ready for its first test flight.
The 36,000-pound, blimp-like aircraft, made of aluminum and carbon fiber, is the first of its kind and built in the Southland. It took four years to create.
The Pentagon and NASA commissioned Worldwide Aeros Corp., based in Montebello, to build the airship on a $35-million contract. The aircraft company employees 100 people.
"I'm sure people are going to be like, 'Oh, there's a UFO flying around,'" Worldwide Aeros engineer Tim Kenny said. This is the next step of aviation. We haven't had anything like this for how many years now of advancement."
It was designed to carry tons of cargo to areas with little to no infrastructure. The vessel would likely be used for military and humanitarian operations in developing countries.
"We can offload the cargo and come home, completely independent of any infrastructure," Kenny said.
The model being tested is a preliminary design before Worldwide Aeros goes on to build three bigger models. The first test flight is scheduled for some time in the next couple of months.

The line-up of performers at 2014 Lollapalooza won't be announced until next week, but Chicago Tribune has reported some big names in music who will headline the festival. According to the site's "industry sources," Eminem, Skrillex, Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkeys are set to play at the upcoming three-day event.
These four names have played Lollapalooza in the past. Eminem headlined it back in 2011, the same year Skrillex made his debut appearance. Last year, the EDM producer returned to the festival with his Dog Blood side project.
Rock band Kings of Leon headlined the event in 2009 while the Arctic Monkeys last played in 2011. This will mark the British four-piece's first time to perform at the fest as a headliner.
Lollapalooza, which is returning to Chicago's Grant Park on August 1-3, will once again feature a total of 100 acts playing across 8 stages. Tickets will be available on the festival's official site on Tuesday, March 25.

California was the third-fastest-growing state for job creation last year, after North Dakota and Utah, and will continue to add positions at a healthy clip this year and next, according to Chapman University's semiannual forecast.
In Orange County, jobs are growing across the economy. But only one sector – leisure and hospitality – has more workers than it had before the recession. And on average those positions, many of them in hotels, restaurants and theme parks, pay below average.
High prices, rising interest rates and tougher lending standards will put home ownership out of reach for a growing number of Californians in the next two years, especially in high-cost coastal areas such as Orange County, the forecast found.
More than 1,000 local businessmen and women attended the university's presentation at Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Concert Hall on Thursday. The event marked Chapman's 36th year of economic forecasting.
Economists James Doti and Esmael Adibi parsed trends in the United States, California and Southern California. Doti also serves as Chapman's president.
Their 30-page report, which factors some 200 equations into an economic model, is published in Chapman's Economic & Business Review. In the presentation and in interviews, here's what they predict:
The bullish stock market, along with higher housing prices, has pushed household wealth to its highest level ever, above $80 trillion. Real gross domestic product, which rose by 1.9 percent in 2013, will jump 2.2 percent this year and 3.1 percent in 2015 – the first time growth would surpass 3 percent annually since the recession.
The recovery remains "sluggish but resilient," the report found. Job gains will accelerate, although "wages are not going up a whole lot," Doti said. He predicts consumer spending will rise nationally by 2.8 percent this year, and by 2.9 percent in 2015. That's up from 2 percent last year.
It remains a tale of two regions: Joblessness in inland regions from the Central Valley to the Inland Empire is far higher than in most coastal areas, including Orange County and San Francisco.
But the laggards are bouncing back. "They're in catchup mode," Adibi said. Inland Empire payrolls jumped 4 percent last year, and overall state payrolls grew 3 percent. That compares with Los Angeles' job growth of 2.6 percent and Orange County's 2.5 percent.
Adibi predicts that California will add 395,000 jobs this year, at a 2.6 percent growth rate, and 418,000 jobs in 2015, a 2.7 percent jump.
Another likelihood: stronger export growth for the state because of improving prospects among its major trading partners. Led by demand for computers, aerospace and automotive parts, exports will rise from $168 billion last year to nearly $194 billion in 2015.
"Trends are in place for a better economy in 2014 and a much better economy in 2015," Adibi said. "That is the overall message of the forecast."
Thanks to a boost in construction spending and an improving national and international outlook, he expects the county to generate an additional 37,000 jobs this year, a 2.6 percent growth rate. In 2015, that will accelerate to 43,000 jobs, a 2.9 percent jump.
Nonetheless, Adibi cautioned, "Orange County is not doing as well as most people think." The county's 5 percent unemployment rate is calculated from a federal telephone survey that counts people as employed if they worked even a single hour in one week, he said. The survey is unreliable in counting undocumented workers, and the 5 percent number is low in part because many people have dropped out of the workforce.
Payrolls, measured in a different survey of employers, remain about 50,000 jobs short of their 2006 level, Adibi said. "It is going to take us a while to regain those jobs."
The good news: Hiring is going to be broad-based. "There may not be as many high-paying jobs as there used to be," Adibi said. "But we want jobs to be created at every level of wages. People with few skills can be absorbed into the leisure and hospitality sector."
In both California and in Orange County, construction – along with education and health services and leisure and hospitality – were among the fastest-growing job sectors last year.
Construction led the pack with a 7.8 percent rise in California and an 8.4 percent jump in Orange County.
But with rising interest rates and home prices, the state's go-go growth in construction spending will peak this year at 25.5 percent and gradually decline through 2015, Adibi predicted.
One sector with dimmer prospects: financial services, which remains well below its 2006 peak, with mortgage lending employment slowing as interests rates rise and a refinancing boom peters out.
Rapid increases in home prices came as investors jumped into the market during the recession, buying foreclosed homes. Now, Adibi said, "They are shying away from the California market."
He predicted that "the high rate of price appreciation over the last two years is not sustainable in the future. Some cooling off is in the offing."
The likely result: 5 percent annual appreciation in 2014 and 2015.
On the negative side, home ownership is again growing out of reach for the average family. In 2001, a median-income family in Orange County needed to spend only 30 percent of its monthly income on the mortgage of a median priced house.
By 2006, the portion had soared to 47 percent; it dropped back down to 27 percent in 2012.
Chapman's prediction: By 2015, given rising home prices and mortgage rates, a median-income family in Orange County will be back to spending more than 38 percent of its income to pay for a home.
"Some high-priced markets like Newport Coast won't be affected," Adibi said. "People there can afford it because their income doesn't necessarily come from wages. But this is definitely bad news for first-time buyers."
Doti echoed the concern. "Housing affordability is a serious issue," he said, noting that many young workers are also saddled with student loans. "The No. 1 reason people leave California is the cost of living – and the No. 1 cost is housing."

Good product
Cons:Bad packaging, the corners of the box broke open and the metal was scratched
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
It never occurred to me to measure my mattress. You would need a very thin mattress for this product to work.
Pros:The concept was good
Cons:Way too short for my mattress
Overall: No, I would not recommend this product.
Works well, strong enough to hold even heavy blankets.
Pros:very strong
Cons:need to tighten thumb screw with a tool to keep rod from slipping. Thumb screw could be larger.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
As they say you get what you pay for...that being said it is cheaply made and unless you use pliers you can't tighten thumb screws...it does need to be larger the top is way to narrow.
Pros:Keeps blanket off toes
Cons:Already said
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
My husband has not been able to sleep on his back for a couple of years because the blanket's weight hurt his toes. This devise relieved that.

Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
Pros:LIGHT WEIGHT & KEEPS THE COVERS OFF MY FEET.
Cons:HAVE TO USE PLIERS TO TURN/TIGHTEN THE THUMB SCREWS-THIS NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED BETTER FOR OLDER USERS. NOT ELDERLY FRIENDLY!
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
Worked very good until it fell down on me. Was a rude awakening. You need pliers to tighten it

Cons:Needs to be taller tp fit thick pillow top mattresses.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
works well, easy to put togethr and put on the bed
Pros:as above
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
The screws are really hard to tighten enough to hold without using pliers. Would be nice if it was a little deeper to fit the newer mattressses.
Pros:Fast delivery. Does hold the blankets up.
Cons:Flimsy construction. Screws hard to tighten. Not deep enough for my pillow top mattress.
Overall: No, I would not recommend this product.
Had one and needed another for another bed

Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
It was a decent price for a very good product, and I highly recommend it.
Pros:Does what it's supposed to.
Cons:It would have been nice if the bar length would have been adjustable like the height length, but it was still a good product.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
Does what it said it would do.
Pros:Frees feet from weight.That helps me.
Cons:Screws need to be tightened with pliers to hold.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
Need to really tighten the screws with pliers for it to hold, but after that works fine.
Was easy to install and fits my need perfectly.
I'm sure this support will work for the older, thinner mattresses, but this one will not. It did have dimensions posted, but I thought it would be fine. Not so. Cannot use it. I wish they made a bigger one for the new, thicker mattresses.
The blanket support is working as advertised. It is keeping the heavy comfort blanket off my feet, allowing me to sllep better. After reading other reviews regarding the holding of the set screws, I also added some electrical tape around this area - so far so good. I would suggest 2 supports to get the full impact of lifting the blankets (we have a king-size mattress.
The set screws just will not hold, even without the weight of a blanket. But what was worse, it can not be adjusted to fit the height of the newer thicker mattresses. So it wouldn't hold the covers high enough to get my feet under it. The ad gave the demensions, but it sounded adequate. Since I received what I had ordered, it was not covered for free return shipping and it would have cost almost the purchase price to return it. I have learned to read and measure more carefully before buying. Maybe this is why I seldom buy from catalogs and internet.
I bought one for my brother and he likes the free feeling his feet get with the heavy blankets kept off of them. He did say the screws need to be tightened very well or the whole thing can tumble down like a guilletine. I have not used mine yet, it's not cold enough for heavy blankets here.
Does what it is supposd to do...but set-screws do not hold tightly...have to adjust height regularily!!
My father wanted a blanket support but didn't know where to get one. He was surprized when he opened the box. He loves it. He is cold all of the time and the blankets get heavy
I was so lucky to come across this item. I was constantly waking up in the middle of the night with ankle pain caused by my heavy blankets. Finally I can experience the wonders of cold feet without the soreness. Thanks blanket support!!!!!!

Vapour diffusion techniques such as the sitting drop, hanging drop, and sandwich drop are the most widely used techniques for protein crystallisation screening and optimisation.
TTP Labtech's mosquito Crystal offers fast, flexible and accurate nanoliter dispensing of protein/reagent drops for all vapour diffusion techniques. Using mosquito Crystal for setting up vapour diffusion techniques has distinct advantages in multiple user research laboratories and academic groups, as both set-ups are easily automated without the need for changes in instrument configuration.
Using accurate and repeatable X, Y and Z movements, smaller drops can be positioned very accurately. mosquito's positive displacement technology also handles a range of viscosities and its disposable micropipettes guarantee zero cross-contamination.
TTP Labtech's mosquito can set up 96-well screen plates within 2 minutes. Its nanolitre volume dispensing optimises the number of conditions that can be screened with a limited amount of protein.
Sitting drop
In this technique, a drop of protein and a drop of crystallisation reagent are placed on top of one another in a subwell next to a larger well containing the precipitant. The advantages of this vapour diffusion technique are its simplicity and speed of set-up. TTP Labtech's mosquito has tightly toleranced and relatively short pipette tips, which allow it to place drops very accurately in the centre of the subwells of any standard crystallization plate.
Hanging drop
Here, a drop of protein and a drop of crystallisation reagent are placed on top of one another on a cover plate and this is inverted over a reagent reservoir. The hanging drop technique enables viewing of crystals without optical interference from the plate, however, droplet volume is limited compared to the sitting drop method. TTP Labtech's mosquito allows users to create several multi-component drops per well allowing different constructs, volume ratios or protein concentrations to be assessed at the same time.
Sandwich drop
Here drops of protein sample mixed with precipitant solution are sandwiched between two cover slips. This method is rarely used, but does have the advantage of reducing the exposed surface area of the drop thus slowing down the rate at which the precipitant reservoir solution draws water from the droplet allowing slower nucleation.
