Happy Birthday for Wednesday, March 20, 2013: This year you experience a division between your home life and your personal life. One is not reflective of the other. This lack of cohesion might be a result of giving and receiving mixed signals, which could affect your relationships. If you are single, you might want someone who is nurturing. Remain open to your different possibilities, and resist either/or thinking. If you are attached, the two of you will need to work on being on the same page. After June, your bond will grow. Cancer can be very open.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Innate tension causes you to make demands in your unique style. You will want to take charge if someone else isn't doing the job. Your natural leadership characteristics emerge. You might not pick up on the subtle innuendoes in a situation. Tonight: Celebrate spring.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might be witness to a friend -- or a situation -- getting off track. The severity of just how far off will be dependent on your attempt to help those involved gain clarity. The problem will be fixed when people are able to see the big picture. Tonight: Be clear in your choices.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your honesty takes you to a new level of understanding, and others respond in kind. A family member might express his or her thoughts in a harsh way. Don't take it personally. You know what you want, and you know what others want. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You go with the flow, despite encountering difficulties and dismayed people. The news you hear could be cluttered and not totally accurate. Encourage others to brainstorm while you follow through on a nonrelated -- but equally important -- issue. Tonight: Listen to a loved one.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You can do whatever you want. Listen to news with an open mind. Your ability to understand others will emerge, and it might seem necessary to make a project run to completion. If possible, tone down your strong personality right now. Tonight: Don't be so hard on yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You like what is going on with a child or loved one. Deal with others directly, and know full well the extent of a certain problem. Your ability to honor a change will allow greater ebb and flow with a partner. This person will appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Watch out for spring fever.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Others have a lot to say, regardless of whether you are interested in hearing their opinions. Listen to someone who has a lot to share, but do some questioning. Your schedule could become rather hectic. Go with the flow rather than get aggravated. Tonight: Say "yes" to an offer.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Realize that you might be a little less adventuresome than usual or perhaps even slightly negative. Examine your options, and then decide which direction you want to head in. Know that an attitude change will open up more possibilities. Tonight: Let your mind relax.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Greet spring with a smile. You might wonder why others are in such a tizzy. Understand that not everyone can enjoy life as you do. Try to avoid having a tiff with a loved one in the near future by trying to see his or her side. Tonight: Get into the idea of spring fever.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You could be too concerned with a loved one. You also might not be comfortable with the immediate results of a meeting. Get rid of some of your stress and/or high energy by walking or jogging, even if it means using your lunchtime to do it. Tonight: Chill out.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You see the beauty in the day, despite everything you need to do. You might be tempted to verbally attack someone who tries to rain on your parade. If you lose your composure, don't drive or use mechanical equipment. Tonight: Hang out with some friends.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You could be difficult without intending to be that way. A haze surrounds you and several situations. You might feel like a mouse running on a wheel that is going nowhere. Stop, if this is the case. Decide to get out of the house for a least a few hours. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

You may or may not have noticed that Onyx Neon Press launched a site called Modern Perl Books last week. We have some works in progress behind the scenes.
My intent with the site is to gather information on what exactly modern Perl looks like, so that I can write the promised Modern Perl book. I'm working on the outline and have lots of great ideas, and of course I'll solicit feedback from everyone willing to contribute.
Today I realized the need for a simple definition of "Modern Perl" which a novice programmer could use reliably until he or she is enough of an expert to define a personal subset of the language and its ecosystem. I know that this'll start all sorts of arguments, but in 21 years no one has done this, so why not try now?
Modern::Perl is a CPAN distribution which enables all of the features of Modern Perl in any program which uses it. Please see Toward a Modern::Perl for more explanation. I'm sure I'll add more modules, but right now it collapses three lines of code in my simplest programs into one, which is definitely progress in the right direction.
Modern Perl
* uses no deprecated or "evil" features
* freely uses features of recent Perls and recent module versions
* discards contortions used for compatibility with ancient Perls and ancient module versions
* uses newer, cleaner, more powerful modules, rather than decade-old modules generally agreed to be showing their age
* generally follows current best coding and interface practices (but may decide to ignore specific recommendations when appropriate)
* follows best security practices
* shares with other
"For now, this only enables the strict and warnings pragmas, as well as all of the features available in Perl 5.10." It's like "use 5.10.0" with more characters! Awesome!
Which version of Perl are you running where
use 5.10.0; also enables strictures and warnings? (It's certainly not the released version of 5.10, nor the packaged version in Ubuntu, nor bleadperl.)
Just for the record: I submitted that patch a long time ago [perl.org]. Last I heard from Rafael was that he's still thinking about it. I keep bugging him whenever I get a chance.
I like the idea and I wish it were committed, but I fear that the forces of stagnation will win again.
I have moderately high hopes of having success with bribes that involve large quantities of beer or red wine, depending on Rafael's choice. If only I would meet him at some Perl event...
I don't consider implicit strict and warnings a feature. If your program is big enough for them to be useful, those two extra lines are insignificant.
I don't consider implicit strict and warnings a feature.
If you find no use from this module, I don't mind. I didn't write it for people who know precise cantrips and incantations to make Perl help them instead of allowing them to get themselves into trouble. I wrote it for people who are just learning Perl and haven't figured out yet all of the magic gobbledygook incantations to let Perl help them.
You know what you're doing. I'm trying to give the other six and a half billion people a better chance.
"Magic gobbledygook?" Please. Don't insult your readers.
If people want Java, they know where to find it. If they don't, this Perl-as-Java jihad is a waste of time.
Please. Don't insult your readers.
Please don't quote me out of context. It's rude, and it leads you into strawman arguments which waste everyone's time.
Do you remember being a novice programmer? Have you seen how they get treated in forums such as PerlMonks? If they haven't included
use strict; use warnings; in their code, someone will invariable respond "I don't know how to solve your problem, but you should always
use strict; use warnings;."
Tell me -- how many novices understand what those do and why
Given that what you wrote appears directly above my reply, I'm not sure how I'm "quoting you out of context." You're welcome to explain.
We're in violent agreement about the standard Perlmonks treatment -- chanting "use strict use warnings" at people in replies and sample code is unhelpful, and I've tried to make that point there in the past. Few novice programmers understand what strict and warnings do, but part of the process of becoming a non-novice is understanding these things. Simply adding boilerpl
You're welcome to explain.
Copied and pasted code that a novice has no mental framework to understand and will not understand without also understanding several fundamental concepts is magic gobbledygook. You can say "Just copy this around and don't change it and don't worry that you don't understand it," or try to explain it or make it unnecessary. I prefer the latter option.
I don't think Perl should become "Perl for dummies."
What part of
Modern::Perl makes Perl more suitable for dummies? All of the
I agree, which is why Modern::Perl's syntactic disguise of the former seems counterproductive. And if believing this makes me an "arrogant, pseudo-macho jerk" and/or a "Real Man," can I at least get a card or something?
use.perl is even more of a bucket of FAIL than I thought -- "plain old text" sure ain't. Here's the bit I meant to include in angle quotes: "You can say "Just copy this around and don't change it and don't worry that you don't understand it," or try to explain it or make it unnecessary. I prefer the latter option."
I agree, which is why Modern::Perl's syntactic disguise of the former seems counterproductive.
I wish it weren't necessary, but that requires either fixing p5p culture such that backwards-incompatible language improvements are possible or forking and promoting my own version of Perl 5. I'm not the person for either task.
At best, I can minimize the damage in a way that works right now with Perl 5.10 which is already out. There's no forking. There are no patches. No one has to recompile Perl. There are
I wish it weren't necessary, but that requires either fixing p5p culture such that backwards-incompatible language improvements are possible or forking and promoting my own version of Perl 5.
To be honest, that would read "changing" and "changes," not "fixing" and "improvements." You want Perl to be one thing, while the P5P regulars want it to be something else. And the module would be "Chromatic's::Perl" (apologies twice over...;-), not "Modern::Perl."
No, but I can offer you an apology for that snideness

City Voice: We're not who we think we are
There is a preconceived notion about the Los Angeles Jewish community being affluent, increasingly conservative and preoccupied with Israel to the exclusion of other issues.
There is some truth in this, as is the case with all preconceived notions and stereotypes. There is also some untruth.
Before the 2004 election, for example, we pundits wrote much about an anticipated Jewish shift to the Republican Party. But on Election Day, Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic nominee, received 78 percent of the Jewish vote, according to a post-election study conducted for the Solomon Project by five established political pollsters.
"This number has been remarkably stable over the last three presidential elections," they said in their report.
And there's poverty among us. In November 2004, Jewish Journal senior writer Mark Ballon reported on a Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles study that found one in five local Jews earn less than $25,000 annually. In greater Fairfax, with its large senior and immigrant population, the figure was one in three.
Aiming to puncture more stereotypes, I visited the single-room office of the Jewish Labor Committee and talked to the western executive director, Cookie Lommel, an African American woman, a journalist and the writer of books on famous people for young adults. She is, to her knowledge, the first African American woman to head a Jewish organization.
"Stereotypes are hard to kill," she said. "That's why I'm here."
The liberal Jewish Labor Committee was founded in 1934 on the Lower East Side of New York by unionized Jewish garment workers organizing a movement against Hitler's assault on independent trade unions. The Los Angeles operation began eight months later. Soon their efforts expanded to try to rescue German and East European Jewry. Today, the committee works closely with unions representing teachers and other public employees, supermarket workers, janitors and other elements of the labor movement in Los Angeles.
"We are the link between the organized Jewish community and the labor movement," Lommel said.
In 1991, as a journalist, she became interested in the airlift of Ethiopian Jews to Israel. She wrote about it for black publications.
Afterward, she started Operation Unity, bringing African American and Latino high school students to Israel, where they worked on a kibbutz. Eventually, that led her to the small Jewish Labor Committee office on the second floor of the Institute of Jewish Education building, a few blocks east of the Beverly Center. Shifting from computer to desk to work table, answering the phone and my questions, Lommel was commander of her one-woman show. Her door was open, and the sounds of a preschool in the yard below provided the background to our chat.
I had called Lommel because it had occurred to me that the news media was not telling the entire Jewish story. We see Jewish Hollywood, Jewish business tycoons and Jewish political contributors, all of them at the top of the economic ladder.
Lommel knows a blue-collar side to Jewish life.
"There is a high percentage of Jews in the membership and leadership of unions," she said.
Not all of Hollywood's Jews are studio execs. Plenty are members of IATSE, the union representing technicians, crafts people, artists and stagehands.
Another place where you find large numbers of Jewish members is in the fast-growing unions representing government employees. I can't think of a grittier, more blue-collar job than being a Los Angeles County social worker, driving through the poorest neighborhoods, checking up on dysfunctional homes, always worried that one wrong decision could leave a kid in the hands of a brutal parent.
Another tough job is being a school teacher. Jews are also supermarket checkers, as Lommel discovered while on the picket line during the 2003-2004 market strike. She told me about a striking checker encountering a longtime Jewish customer, who was shocked at seeing a nice Jewish woman carrying a picket sign. The customer's surprise reflects how much of the Jewish community accepts stereotypes about itself.
Accepting these stereotypes takes the Jewish community out of the game on important issues vital to poor, working class and middle class Jews.
Certainly Israel is of great importance. The Jewish Labor Council was quick to join other Jewish organizations in protest when the United Teachers of Los Angeles' (UTLA) 25-member Human Rights Committee planned a meeting at UTLA headquarters to discuss economic sanctions against Israel. The union, which has a total membership of 48,000, decided to deny the use of its headquarters for the event.
But there are issues besides Israel, including one of tremendous importance: the public schools. The people I'm writing about — the teachers, the social workers, the movie industry artists and technicians who don't work in slow months — can't afford private schools. They are entitled to send their children to good public schools. It is their right, just as it is the right of every American.
The influential, high-profile elements of the Jewish community are missing in action on this issue. To them, the public schools are a Latino thing or an African American thing. Actually, public education has always been a Jewish thing. And, considering what our community is really like, it still is.
Until leaving the Los Angeles Times in 2001, Bill Boyarsky worked as a political correspondent, a Metro columnist for nine years and as city editor for three years. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

MCV looks at the latest addition to the Ninja Gaiden series.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z will be in stores on March 21st.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is the latest addition to the popular and challenging hack-and-slash series, Ninja Gaiden. This game promises to be just as difficult as previous entries.
The title sees players take on the role of ninja Yaiba Kamikaze, who is outcast from his clan. He challenges Ninja Gaiden's protagonist – Ryu Hayabusa – who defeats him in combat, taking his eye and arm. Yaiba is put back together with mechanical parts and sets out to seek revenge.
Rather than taking on rival ninjas and demons as in previous games, Yaiba will be facing off against a zombie horde. They vary from regular undead foes, to flaming enemies, and other elemental zombies. These play into combat, as foes are only weak to certain weapons.
The title features a new stylised cartoon art-style, which is in contrast to the previous titles more realistic appearance.
In addition to the main game, Team Ninja have included Ninja Gaiden Z – a 3D side-scrolling game, complete with 8-bit cut scenes and UI, reminiscent of the classic Ninja Gaiden titles.
Tecmo Koei is marketing its ninja title by conducting a wide variety of takeovers on specialist press websites.
This is in addition to ads appearing on both Google and YouTube, as well as pre-roll footage and banners.
Furthermore, the publisher will be pushing Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z on special interest forums, as well as over national and regional radio. Tecmo Koei will be promoting the title on social networks and across print publications, too.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is a unique game where your character actually prefers running through zombies than away from them.
This is not so strange if you take into account that it is the brainchild of Keiji Inafune (Resident Evil and Dead Rising) and Team Ninja (Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden) – and so plays on the strong points of both: zombies, ninjas and explosive action.
It is a brutally humorous, gore-splattered, visually stunning cel-shaded action game, stylistically reminiscent of gritty graphic novels. Its fast paced action make Yaiba an enjoyable new experience for gamers.
As a plus, fans of the Ninja Gaiden series will see what it's like to play against Ryu Hayabusa for once.

Police seek help to catch pair in auto burglaries
Police are hoping the public can help identify a man and woman who may be linked to more than 20 smash-and-grab vehicle burglaries. The two steal checks from purses or briefcases left in plain view, then cash them at banks in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, said Clearwater public safety spokeswoman Elizabeth Watts. The man and woman, and possibly some acquaintances, are targeting vehicles at day care facilities, churches or businesses with on-site day care, Watts said. They are believed to be responsible for at least 21 vehicle burglaries in Clearwater since the end of January. Watts said people should be careful not to leave valuables in their car. Anyone with information is asked to call the Clearwater Police Department tip line at (727) 562-4080, ext. 2.
Man sought in bank robbery
Authorities are looking for a man who robbed a Wachovia Bank at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon. According to Pinellas County sheriff's deputies, the man went into the bank at 1551 S Belcher Road shortly after 1:30 p.m., flashed a silver semiautomatic handgun and demanded cash from a teller. The man fled, possibly in a red vehicle, after the teller gave him an undisclosed amount of cash, the Sheriff's Office said. No one was injured. The suspect is described as a black man in his mid 30s, 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing about 160 pounds with a slender build. He had a full beard and was last seen wearing a baseball cap, a maroon hooded jacket and blue jeans. Anyone with information is asked to call Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Detective Jeremy Nygren at (727) 582-6200, or to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers, toll free at 1-800-873-8477.

Home heats up chain sales in Feb.
March 11, 2002,
New York — With the start of a brand new fiscal year, several retailers have a positive sales outlook as well, as sales momentum from the end of fiscal 2001 continued, with same-store sales growing 4.6 percent over last year for U.S. retail chains.
February also saw the home category become hot for retailers across distribution channels.
Domestics at the discounters proved productive for February. Wal-Mart said that domestics in its Wal-Mart division was among above-average categories for the month, and the division saw comp-store sales gains of 11 percent, well above its original forecast. Total company sales benefited from a strong Valentine's Day holiday, the Winter Olympics, an earlier Easter and early spring weather, the company said.
At Target Corp.'s Target Stores division, home was one of the best performers for the month, with overall inventories in excellent condition. "Sales for the corporation were well above plan in February, primarily due to exceptional strength at Target Stores," said Bob Ulrich, chairman and ceo.
TJX Companies' MarMaxx division, which includes T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, saw home fashions jump by 11 percent for the month and had an overall comp-store increase of 7 percent. TJX had total sales growth of 16 percent, with impressive gains in its individual divisions, including comp-store gains of 13 percent for Winners in Canada, 11 percent for HomeGoods, and 9 percent for T.K. Maxx in Europe. But the leader was clearly A.J. Wright, its off-price chain, with a dramatic 31 percent comp-store spike.
Domestics also shined at warehouse club Costco, showing an significant 9 percent sales gain.
Department stores also experienced success with home, including Target Corp.'s Mervyn's division and Elder-Beerman. The category at Dillard's led in merchandise performance for the month with a climb of 1 percent.
Retailers showing negative comp-store sales were generally department stores, though JCPenney produced a strong 12.5 percent jump, significantly above plan. Its catalog sales, however, were below plan, with a 28.7 percent decline. The company said that catalog sales continue to be impacted by the elimination of unprofitable events.
Several retailers continued to focus on inventories. "While overall sales remain soft, we continue to be very pleased with our inventory position as well as gross margin and expense performance," said Sears chairman and ceo Alan Lacy.
Jim Famalette, president and ceo, Gottschalks, said, "We are maintaining our focus on inventory management and our cost containment initiatives. The improvement in our comp-store sales is encouraging to us in light of the current economic conditions."
Several retailers said that the month's mixed weather negatively impacted sales. Stein Mart, which with this month has begun reporting monthly sales numbers, saw strong sales for the first three weeks in Oklahoma and parts of Texas, which were slowed by the weather at the end of the month.
Hancock Fabrics, reporting a 6.3 percent increase in comp-store sales, said that, despite weather disruptions in the first and fourth weeks in the period, consumers remain active throughout the store, particularly in the home decorating area.

A HAWORTH resident has spoken of his pride after his late father was awarded the Arctic Star medal – 73 years late.
John Huxley's father, Richard, served on board a Free French corvette on two of the notoriously gruelling Arctic convoys to Russia and also on Atlantic convoys to Newfoundland during the Second World War. He died in 1989, aged 73.
The medal and accompanying citation which he was eligible for arrived last week, 18 months after Mr Huxley's sister, Jane, began the application process.
Mr Huxley, who is chairman of Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury Parish Council, said: "It's better late than never. I'm proud of him.
"The convoys were a crucial part of World War Two, and the people who served on them seemed to get forgotten, a bit like the men from Bomber Command.
"I think my father would be genuinely pleased to have been recognised."
Mr Huxley said his father had only started talking in any detail about his wartime service in the last two or three years of his life.
He said: "It had a big impact on him, and like a lot of men who served he would have seen some pretty horrific things.
"He was on a Free French corvette, which on one occasion rammed and sunk a German U-Boat.
"He said that for the whole time he was on one of the convoys he was never dry, and nothing much happened, that is of course until they got within range of the German aircraft."
Mr Huxley explained that his father had been a signals petty officer with the Royal Navy, then was subsequently a radar mechanic with the Fleet Air Arm in India.
He was posted to the French corvette, FFS Roselys, as part of a small English-speaking detachment, present to ensure vital signals were correctly interpreted.
Mr Huxley said his sister, a retired teacher who lives near Manchester, started investigating whether their father could gain the Arctic Star posthumously after learning about a separate case where a family successfully applied for their own relative.
"The Government had decided that the medal should be made available to more families, so my sister began making enquiries," he said. "She has been very dedicated.
"The medal itself arrived last Monday in a small box, along with a short citation. We were very excited to receive it, and my sister is now working out the best way to have it displayed. It's certainly something for the family archive."

New Delhi: Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa walked out in anger from an important meeting of all chief ministers which was being presided over by the Prime Minister.
Ms Jayalalithaa said she had been insulted because she had not been able to complete her speech. (Read: full speech)
When the annual National Development Council (NDC) began, chief ministers were told to limit their speeches to 10 minutes each. Ms Jayalalithaa had exceeded the limit. A red light came on, indicating she needed to wrap up.
"I was barely able to finish 1/3rd of my speech. To show my protest I have walked out of the NDC meet," she said. "I began my speech, they rang the bell soon after. This is humiliating," she complained. "We are not being allowed to present our views," she said, "the voices of chief ministers are being stifled." (Read: Highlights of Jayalalithaa's speech)
The NDC meet has been called to discuss and approve the 12th Five-Year-Plan which sets the country's financial agenda for the next five years. The target for growth has been set at 8%.
The Tamil Nadu chief minister's speech was attacking of the Centre. She said its "big brotherly and undemocratic approach" of imposing financial policies and views on states is evident. She also said that recent reforms which led in an increase in the price of cooking gas violate fundamental needs of poor families.
Rejecting Jayalalithaa's charges, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Rajiv Shukla, said, "The Prime Minister showed a gesture by giving an opportunity to her to speak first, immediately after his speech, though her turn was to come much later. The time allotted to each chief minister is precisely 10 minutes." He also clarified that the same arrangement was made for chief ministers of Congress and non-Congress ruled states. "The leaders should not make political capital out of such events," he added. (Read: Centre rejects Jayalalithaa's allegations)

|As of 6/13/07 the fourth bolt (invisible from the ground) is missing its hanger... bring up a nut to sling the bolts with, or find another climb to do. Hope that the hanger gets replaced somewhat soon, this climb is a fun one.

|It was at the end of the day and I wasn't able to send it but I loved the end of the route. The hueco to the roof is a fun satisfying move and then the sketchy balancing after lets you know why this is a solid 10c. A hearty 4 stars from me.

I got re-acquainted with this fine route today after many years; enjoyable as ever. Solid at .10c.
Lee, if you can find decent gear around the last bolt, this is a candidate for an all trad gear ascent. I led this route in 1995 with trad pieces (2?) plus the lone bolt. No problem with gear the 1st half of the climb.

|Thought this was a really fun route that stayed pretty dry even when the rest of the wall was soaked. There is a healthy distance between the last bolt and the chains, though looks like a clean fall. After initially backing off the tricky/balancy last move and hanging on the last bolt, I figured out different much easier beta.

GRASSY KEY — In a lagoon in the Keys, trainer Emily Guarino blindfolds a male dolphin named Tanner with special latex goggles. "You ready, Tanner?" Guarino asks the young dolphin, waiting beside his companion Kibby.
At a command, another trainer gets Kibby to say "hello" by flapping his fins on the water, splashing noisily in the enclosed lagoon at the Dolphin Research Center, which houses 22 dolphins and is one of the leaders in dolphin cognitive studies.
"Can you imitate what Kibby is doing?" Guarino asks Tanner. Within seconds, Tanner is splashing "hello" — a seemingly extraordinary feat given the blindfolded dolphin appears to be using only sound to perceive and imitate the actions of his fellow dolphin.
It turns out dolphins are master imitators that somehow can "see" their environment despite blindfolds. But exactly how such a dolphin can mimic another's action is a matter of ongoing study.
Kelly Jaakkola, director of the nonprofit marine mammal research center, said the research to better understand dolphin intelligence will surely help further their conservation. She said such study may also be helpful in better grasping the complexities of human intelligence.
"It's human nature to care more about animals we perceive as intelligent. So the more we can showcase that intelligence, we give people a way to connect, to care and therefore conserve," she said.
Just how blindfolded dolphins can pick up on the actions of other dolphins — whether through echolocation, sonar or other means — is still unclear. Echolocation refers to the sounds dolphins and other animals naturally emit to locate objects and navigate.
"Dolphins have this ability to echolocate by sonar, very similar to bats. And so one possibility is he is echolocating on that and he is 'seeing' the behavior with sound," Jaakkola said. "However there is another possibility as well. Maybe he's recognizing the characteristic sound of the behavior like if I asked you to close your eyes and I clap my hands, you would still be able to imitate that by recognizing the characteristic sound."
The study used three dolphins for its tests: Tanner was always the blindfolded subject and A.J. and Kibby served as demonstrator dolphins. The study titled "Blindfolded Imitation in a Bottlenose Dolphin" is published in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology.
Tanner, who was previously trained in wearing the opaque latex eyecups, already knew how to imitate other dolphins' behaviors without blindfolds on. Nearly every time his eyes were covered, Tanner was able to imitate his playmate Kibby's actions, the researchers reported.
The study tested 19 motor and eight vocal behaviors, from waving a fin, to bobbing up and down, to spinning and even giggling. The study was spread over 19 sessions in 11 weeks.
Since researchers sought to focus on whether dolphins can imitate companions while blindfolded, all the behaviors used in the study were already known to the dolphins.
Previous dolphin studies have shown dolphins can copy companion's whistles and motor behaviors, as well as computer-generated sounds. Dolphins also have a capacity to copy humans to some extent, according to Jaakkola.
The results are not at all surprising to Robin W. Baird, a research biologist at Cascadia Research Collective based in Olympia, Wash.
"This actually demonstrates that they are able to know what is going on in their environment at a different level than what they can just see," said Baird, who works mostly with wild sea animals — such as dolphins, whales and seals — and did not participate in the study.

US Attorney's Office files charges in four Puget Sound hash oil explosions | Three related to Hampton Greens fire
Three men whose hash oil manufacturing operation is alleged to have caused the fiery explosion that decimated the Hampton Greens apartment complex in Bellevue last year have been charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office in conjunction with three other similar cases around the Puget Sound.
Part of "Operation Shattered," U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan announced the seven federal criminal charges filed this morning over four recent cases of hash oil explosions during a news conference in Seattle on Tuesday, saying her office and law enforcement will continue to fight the growing threat of illegal operations across the state.
"What the demand is creating is a public hazard," Durkan said of consumer trends toward marijuana-infused products. "We will fight that public hazard."
Residents at the Hampton Greens apartments awoke early Nov. 5 to the sound of an explosion that shook the complex and nearby businesses and residences, causing a fire that ripped through the KK building at 4505 148th Ave. N.E. A Bellevue Police investigative report states David R. Schultz, 32, Daniel J. Strycharske, 28, and Jesse D. Kaplan, 31, were residing in the apartment where the explosion occurred, caused by the ignition of butane gas inside that was part of a hash oil manufacturing operation.
Seven people were hospitalized that day, including former Bellevue Mayor Nan Campbell, who later died from injuries she suffered while fleeing the ensuing fire.
Schultz, Strycharske and Kaplan were charged Tuesday with endangering human life while manufacturing controlled substances maintaining a drug involved premises and manufacturing hash oil and marijuana. Durkan said neither state nor federal law allows the making of hash oil.
"If you're doing it, you should stop," she said, adding communities should be watchful of suspicious activities in their neighborhoods. "We see that it is a threat to those communities."
Two people were also charged for an explosion and fire in Puyallup on May 20, and two others were charged with explosions and fires in Kirkland and Seattle that occurred in January. The news conference followed several morning arrests, where Durkan said some facing charges were found back at work making hash oil.
Campbell, 87, told responders at the Bellevue fire she tripped and fell while escaping the blaze, hurting her hip; a Kirkland firefighter noted burn marks on her robe. She died in the hospital on Nov. 19, 2013. The medical examiner's office determined the cause of death was aspiration pneumonia and urinary tract infection due to prolonged hospitalization and immobility due to pelvic fracture with hematoma. She was elected Bellevue's first female mayor in 1988 after serving two terms on the City Council. The explosion and subsequent fire caused $1.5 million in damage and the loss of $500,000 in belongings.
The Bellevue Police had forwarded its investigation to the King County Prosecutor's Office in April, requesting attorneys consider filing second-degree manslaughter charges against Schultz, who was staying with Kaplan and Strycharske, and allegedly more involved in the hash oil manufacturing operation. Durkan said the U.S. Attorney's Office could not find cause to charge the men with Campbell's death, but there is no doubt her death would have been avoided had the hash oil operation not been started.
Schultz is alleged to have denied using the butane method of making hash oil, preferring isopropyl alcohol instead. Eight exploded cans of butane were recorded by investigators being found in the parking lot and shrubs around the apartment. Strycharske allegedly admitted to investigators that Schultz was "shooting" butane, using tubes and glass found inside their apartment, and that it could take up to five cans to do the job. Undamaged butane cans were also found, according to police and fire reports.
Bellevue Police reports also state an officer responded to the apartment complex Schultz was allegedly using to produce hash oil on Oct. 17, 2013 — three weeks before the explosion. A construction worker reported speaking to a man he witnessed assembling parts for what he said was a device for making hash oil for his dispensary. Documents state the officer went to the apartment and cautioned the occupants that making hash oil would be a violation of the lease, which was reportedly only held by one of the men there.
With medical marijuana and now recreational marijuana legalization in Washington, Durkan said law enforcement is facing "difficult terrain," trying to better understand what is and isn't allowed and how to respond to marijuana-related activities. She added there have been nine recent hash oil explosions reported in California, Colorado and Washington.
"I think the state is embarking on something that has never been done before," she said of these law enforcement challenges.

Twist it, chubby
- Pacers 92, Pistons 83
By LARRY LAGE, AP Sports Writer
AP - May 11, 9:35 pm EDT
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- The NBA's most resilient team bounced back again.
Jermaine O'Neal scored 22 points, Reggie Miller had 19 and Jeff Foster grabbed 20 rebounds Wednesday night to lead the Indiana Pacers past the Detroit Pistons 92-83 in Game 2, tying their Eastern Conference semifinal series at one game apiece.
The Pacers trailed for two-plus quarters before taking over with an 11-0 run in the fourth quarter. They lost 96-81 in Game 1.
O'Neal prevented the Pacers from trailing by more than 15 in the first quarter with eight points, then led their surge in the third with 10 points.
Miller made a running jumper and a 3-pointer to put Indiana ahead for the first time with 4:10 left in the third. The Pistons scored the last six points of the quarter to take a 69-68 lead.
After five more lead changes, the score was tied at 77 midway through the fourth quarter.
Miller's 3-pointer put Indiana ahead 82-77 with just under 5 minutes left.
The Pistons had won eight straight home games in the playoffs, dating to last year's conference finals.
Foster gave the Pacers a huge lift off the bench with 14 points, Jamaal Tinsley had 12 points and 12 assists and Stephen Jackson added 13 points.
Detroit's Tayshaun Prince scored 24, Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton each had 14 and Chauncey Billups scored 13.
The next two games in the best-of-seven series are in Indianapolis on Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
Many wrote the Pacers off when their Nov. 19 brawl with the Pistons and their fans led to unprecedented suspensions, but the Pacers didn't let the loss of Ron Artest and others -- or a slew of injuries later in the season -- devastate them.
Indiana even pulled off a rare road win in a Game 7 of the first round at Boston to advance to play the defending NBA champions, who ended the Pacers' season in the conference finals last year.
Miller, who plans to retire after the season, scored just two points in each of the first two quarters before closing strong in the second half. He scored six points in the series opener.
The Pacers said they would do anything -- and they did -- to try to slow down Hamilton after he scored 28 points Monday.
Miller started out guarding Hamilton, then Jackson did before the Pacers used a zone, but none of the adjustments worked as the Pistons jumped out to a 24-11 lead. Detroit was ahead 33-18 after the first quarter with Prince scoring 11 -- three more than he had in Game 1 -- and Hamilton adding eight points.
The Pistons led 50-40 at halftime, then fell behind by five in the third before going back ahead.
Artest told ESPN he thought his season-long suspension for his role in the infamous melee was ``a bit harsh,'' in an interview broadcast Wednesday. Artest did add, however, he respected NBA commissioner David Stern's decision. ``I know what I did wasn't right,'' Artest said. ``It was only a cup. It wasn't like it was a brick.'' ... Gabrielle Nettle, 18, of nearby Clarkston, was identified as the Pistons' 1,000,000th fan this season before the game. She was given an authentic Detroit jersey, two seats for next season's opener and passes to a VIP area along with Pistons merchandise. David Wieme, a team official, said Nettle was laid off from her job earlier in the day.

Under the silvery light of a full moon, the celluloid exploits of long dead cowboy film stars flickered to life before a sold out audience of silent film fans.
The crowd munched on popcorn as Tom Mix in "The Great K&A Train Robbery (1926)" and William S. Hart, in "The Saga of William S. Hart" (1958), proved why they were among the top box-office attractions of the past.
The event, the annual fundraiser for Friends of Hart Park, attracted more than 200 guests to Hart Hall, adjacent to William S. Hart Park in Newhall. Guests listened to a bluegrass band, enjoyed a barbecue dinner, toured Hart's mansion and watched the silent-film double feature.
Silent film
"We're going to have a double feature this year," said City Councilwoman Laurene Weste, president of the Friends of Hart Park. "For the first time, we'll show a Tom Mix film as well as a William S. Hart film."
Film historian David Shepard, of Northern California, made the long trip to the Santa Clarita Valley with his vintage Bell & Howell projector to show the films.
"We are so grateful that David Shepard is here with us," Weste said. "He keeps these films alive so we can enjoy them."
Robert Birchard, noted author and Tom Mix authority, signed copies of his book "Tom Mix, King Cowboy," and spoke about both films.
"It's great to see Tom Mix and William S. Hart on the same bill," Birchard said.
Ray Lowe, of Chatsworth, provided the musical accompaniment to the two silent films.
Lowe scores and improvises music to follow the action on the screen.
"I'm not sure if this is the seventh or eighth year I've done this," Lowe said. "There was a lot of variety this year in the movies. It was very exciting to work on this project."
Silent auction
The fundraiser also offered guests a chance to bid on a large number of unique silent-auction items.
Among the most unusual was a glass vial of battery oil produced by Thomas Edison and used by railroads on the batteries that powered crossing arms and lights.
Antiques, baskets, merchandise and gift certificates were also offered in the silent auction.
Funds raised from the event will be used to add more functionality to Hart Hall by adding a movie theater to the venue, said Weste.
"We've already improved the acoustics, now we're going to add the ability to show movies at the hall with special shades, sound and projection equipment and theater seats," Weste said. "We'll be able to host corporate events, as well as the weddings and meetings we have now."
Weste said Los Angeles County will soon begin a project to transform the front of Hart Park, replacing the current chain-link fence with decorative wrought-iron and adding a marquee.
"It's going to drastically change the front of the park," Weste said. "You won't even recognize the entry to the park."
Mansion tours
For many attendees, the event began with a tour of Hart's mansion, "La Loma de los Vientos" — which means The Hill of the Winds.
The mansion, finished in 1928, as well as the 260-acre grounds of the William S. Hart Park, were willed to the people of Los Angeles County when Hart died in 1946.
Hart, who made more than 65 silent films, retired to Newhall after ending his film career with his final film, "Tumbleweeds," released in 1925.
Hart's art
Guests were able to view the living, dining, kitchen and guest quarters at the mansion, as well as the many pieces of art by James Montgomery Flagg and Frederic Remington, as well as Charles Cristadoro sculptures and original paintings and sketches by Charles Russell. Artifacts from various Native American cultures were also on display.
A white hat belonging to Tom Mix and a black hat belonging to Hart were on display in the mansion's living room, reflecting the divergence of film styles. Mix, was considered to be a glamorous Hollywood-type cowboy and Hart has been widely viewed as presenting a more "realistic" film view of the West.
Fun event
After the tour of the mansion and museum at the top of the hill guests returned to Hart Hall to listen to bluegrass music from the All Digital String Band.
A barbecue buffet dinner from Rattler's was followed by the film double feature.
The audience applauded and cheered their cowboy-film heroes, as horses galloped across the screen and gunplay raged fast and furious.
As always, the good guys won, the bad guys were defeated, and a few hours were spent in a more innocent time.
"This was a great event," said Vanessa Wilk, of Saugus, who was a first-time attendee with husband, Scott. "We had so much fun, we'll be back."

Hart Mansion and Museum are free and are held Wednesday through Sunday, with the first tour starting at 11 a.m. and the last tour starting at 3:30 p.m. Visit www.hartmuseum.org or call (661) 254-4584.

My love of orange with green is evident in this purchase. Obviously, the light background is not for high traffic areas. Not sure on the durability at this time (only had them for a week).

Rated 2 out of 5 by tfitz from Functionality issue...NO PETS ALLOWED! Loved the design of this rug so I purchased it for our family room. I was very disappointed to find that after less than 8 hours it had pulled. Hoping it was just bad luck, I trimmed the pull and moved on. After a few weeks now I am disappointed to report the rug has numerous pulls. In my opinion, this rug is fine for a room that does not get much use. However, if you have pets or children or are looking for floor covering for a higher traffic area DO NOT GET THIS RUG! It simply does not hold up.

can i cut this rug in half since I need to?Also, where do I get a coupon?
Thank you for your interest in the Tiger Lily Area Rug. We do not recommend modifying items as it will void the warranty.

The Scot travelled to the Spanish capital to assess the 21-year-old midfielder, who has emerged as a leading target for the champions this January alongisde Fredy Guarin
The 21-year-old has emerged as one of a number of candidates on Moyes's midfield shortlist ahead of the January window, with Inter's Fredy Guarin also subject to heavy interest.
Moyes has sent scouts to watch Guarin in action but elected to monitor Koke first-hand and was given a VIP seat at the Calderon, where he spoke to the club's sporting director, Jose Luis Caminero.
|Manchester United are 13/8 with William Hill to score in both halves against Aston Villa
"We spoke, but he didn't tell me exactly why he had come..."
Koke played the 90 minutes as Diego Simeone's men, who had already qualified for the last 16, beat Porto 2-0 thanks to goals from Raul Garcia and Diego Costa.
The 21-year-old has scored 10 goals in 134 games for Atletico and has also represented Spain on seven occasions after making his debut for La Roja earlier this year.
The midfielder recently put pen to paper on a new deal at the Calderon to extend his current contract to 2018 and told Canal Plus: "I didn't know anything [about Moyes being here] but I'm not concerned [with any of that]. I renewed in the summer."
United have been tracking Koke for several months and believe that he fits their profile as a potential signing due to his age, outstanding technique and versatility, with the Madrid-born youngster able to cover a number of different positions across the midfield and attack.

How did Fukushima-Daiichi core meltdown change the probability of nuclear accidents?
What increase in probability the Fukushima Dai-ichi event does entail? Many models and approaches can be used to answer these questions. Poisson regression as well as Bayesian updating are good candidates. However, they fail to address these issues properly because the independence assumption in which they are based on is violated. We propose a Poisson Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (PEWMA) based in a state-space time series approach to overcome this critical drawback. We find an increase in the risk of a core meltdown accident for the next year in the world by a factor of ten owing to the new major accident that took place in Japan in 2011.

Where Should My Trousers Break on My Shoe?
I was told to get my trousers hemmed so that they broke on my shoe. What exactly does that mean, and how do I get it done?
Posted by menstyleqa on Apr 8, 2012 in Trousers & Pants | 3 comments
I was told to get my trousers hemmed so that they broke on my shoe. What exactly does that mean, and how do I get it done?
The "break" is the way that the trousers rest on the shoe. A good default break is to have the front of the trouser cuff rest very lightly on the shoe's uppers, just enough so that the trouser isn't dangling loose at the bottom but not so much that there's any piling-up of spare fabric.
Fashion will change this somewhat, and you'll see more or less dramatic breaks, but I'd usually advise men to at least have the hem of the trousers touching the top of the shoe. Anything further up the ankle than that is getting dangerously close to highwater territory.
A good tailor can get a little fancy and cut the trousers so that the back of the hem falls a little lower than the front — that way the front can have a nice clean break while the back is giving you enough cloth to keep the sock hidden even when you move around.
A full break will have the trouser break on top of the shoe heel.
A quarter break will have the trousers tailored so that they gently touch the topline of the shoes.
A half break will have a less prominent fold than the full break but the trousers will rest between the topline of the shoes and the shoe heel.

The European Aviation Safety Agency earlier this month suspended the European type certificate (TC) held by bankrupt Eclipse Aviation. The company was granted the EASA type certificate on Nov. 21, 2008, and four days later it filed for bankruptcy. Attempts are currently under way by interested parties to purchase what remains of Eclipse's assets, but the bankruptcy court has thus far accepted none of the bids. The suspension of the EASA TC "is an issue," one of the bidders told AIN, "and would reduce the value of the assets [and] intellectual property." According to an EASA spokeswoman, "The suspension of the Eclipse EA500 type certificate is the result of the TC holder's failure to fully comply with its administrative obligations towards EASA." EASA is listed as a creditor in the Eclipse Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy filing, and although the spokeswoman could not confirm that EASA is owed money by Eclipse, she said that "administrative obligations" could include failure to pay certification fees. Once the failure is remedied, the TC can be reinstated. The TC suspension has no effect on European Eclipse operators because, as she added, "currently, there are no Eclipse EA500 aircraft on EASA member state registers and none that conform to the EASA type certificated standard."

Southern style Black eyed peas
By Denise O, 1st Jan 2011 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/zv7-116o/
Posted in WikinutGuidesRecipesUS & Canada
If they make you prosperous or not, this black eyed pea recipe is delicious year around.
The southern way
I like most southern people in the deep south of the USA, eat black eyed peas on New years day. The saying goes, the more black eyed peas you eat on new years day, the more prosperous you will be in the coming year. Even though I doubt it will help you make more money throughout the year, it is still worth making up a big batch of them. I serve my black eyed peas over a bowl of white rice.
If you would like to do a vegetarian version, I would omit 2 quarts of the water you will be adding to make your broth and replace it with 2 quarts of vegetable stock.
If ham is not to your liking, replace the ham hocks with two smoked turkey legs.
2 pounds dried black eyed peas (4 cups of peas)
2 pounds smoked ham hocks
2 carrots sliced
1 onion diced
2 garlic cloves peeled
1 tablespoon hot sauce (Of your choosing)
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
Kosher Salt to taste
In a 5 quart crock pot
Place your ham hocks, carrots, onions, garlic cloves, hot sauce, celery salt, cracked black pepper and 3 quarts of water. Place your crock pot on high and cook for 2 hours.
If you want to make the vegetarian version. ..
In your crock pot place 2 quarts of vegetable stock, 1 quart of water, carrots, onions, garlic cloves, celery salt, 1 dried smoked chipotle pepper, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cracked black pepper.
Place on high and cook for 2 hours.
When your two hours are up, do not turn your crock pot off, as you will continue to cook your broth for 1 more hour.
Why soak?
I find it unnecessary to soak your beans over night, the quick soak method is much easier and I have a tendency too forget to soak my beans the night before.
After two hours of the three hour cooking time of your broth is up. Rinse your black eyed peas. In a 5 quart pot, add 4 quarts of water and your black eyed peas. Place on your stove.
On medium heat, bring to a rapid boil, boil your black eyed peas for 2 minutes. Take them off the heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. After your hour is up, drain your black eyed peas, discard the water and place your black eyed peas in the crock pot of broth. Cover, cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.
A half hour before your black eyed peas are done, taste them and add kosher salt to your liking.
Rice it up
I place a scoop of rice in the middle of a bowl, pour the black eyed peas on top, with a bit of the broth for sopping.

Oregon has a plan to eliminate tuition, but will it work?
Wastintime Los Angeles, CAJuly 14, 2013 6:00 p.m.
The high cost of tuition is driven by the unbelievably high number of (F-1) VIsas issued to fioreign students. Nearly 500,000 were issued last year alone (and each lasts for many years). My sons who attended engineering schools were surrounded by foreign students who graduated and took their degrees home to compete against us. The cost of college education would be dramatically lower (and U.S. competitiveness would increase) if foreign student Visas were curtailed. Yet we never hear about this...
Liberal Ted Salt Lake City, UTJuly 11, 2013 2:55 p.m.
We only need to look at obamas economy to see how making something "free" benefits no one and puts the burden on future generations and all of the illegals he would like to make future democrats.

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." ---Wimpy--
Shawnm750 West Jordan, UTJuly 11, 2013 11:18 a.m.
What about those people that don't graduate? How would they be held accountable? I know people who take multiple semesters off for one reason or another and span their college education over several years, just pursuing a bachelors degree...would there be a limit to how long they could go not enrolled?
My guess is that after implementing this program, they'd get an influx of people enrolling, but just like the current system, several would drop out and never finish. Of those who did go on to finish, you'd see a decline as people realized they don't want to pay an additional 3% in taxes (a number which is bound to steadily increase) for 24 years. Trade schools or other programs offering certifications would probably see an increase in enrollment.
I applaud their initiative in trying to address the tuition issue, but this one seems more problematic in the long term...
Brave Sir Robin San Diego, CAJuly 11, 2013 8:46 a.m.
"Jordan Weissmann of The Atlantic suggested last week in his article "Should colleges charge engineers more than English majors?" that the "one price fits all" model needs re-evaluation. Weissmann explores everything from varying tuition based on program — for example, students in more costly programs such as engineering would pay more than English majors — to altering the cost based on course level."
What planet have these people been living on? Engineering degrees DO cost more than English degrees...it's called lab fees. Almost every engineering class has a lab fee (whether there's a lab or not). I had semesters where my lab fees came to almost 50% of my base tuition, meaning I paid 33% more than English majors taking the same number of credit hours.
I have a hard time believing anything that comes from a subject matter "expert" who doesn't know this.
Prodicus Provo, UTJuly 11, 2013 8:17 a.m.
Ten years after a program like this becomes law, Oregon universities will only have English and Gender Studies departments. Just watch. People who anticipate graduating with better job opportunities will go elsewhere.
We have too few people choosing mathematical, scientific, and engineering fields as it is.
Unclefred Ticonderoga, NYJuly 11, 2013 8:03 a.m.
Free? I'm always amazed by how people use that word. As a people our much talked about freedom was paid for with the blood of our soldiers. A 24 year tax to pay for "free" education does NOT make it free. While I agree that the college cost is way too excessive (sent 3 kids to school, remortgaged my house), a shell game with the money is not the answer. It's a sure thing that the taxpayers (whom no one subsidizes) will be left holding the bag..
JimInSLC Salt Lake City, UTJuly 11, 2013 1:43 a.m.
I do like that fact that State and Local Governments are getting involved to find a solution. The Federal Govt. should not be in the business of student loans, even if they are making money on the interest. According to the Tenth Amendment, States have all power except those specifically granted to the Federal Government.
Whether Oregon's approach will work, I have some reservations, but at least it is a starting point. If it does not work, I'm sure it can be adjusted along the way.
When Federal backed student loans are done away with and students are unable to pay the high costs, and as a consequence college/university enrollment begins to decline, then we might see tuition costs start to come down to a more affordable level.
Oregon Mom HILLSBORO, ORJuly 10, 2013 7:16 p.m.
Free? A 24-year tax? Sounds like students loans by another name. My solution, actually, would be for the federal government to deny federal aid of any kind to any college whose total cost to students (no using fees to hide increases) grew by more than a reasonable amount each year. Colleges have had no incentive to keep costs reasonable.
andyjaggy American Fork, UTJuly 10, 2013 3:18 p.m.
It's an interesting concept, but I don't see it working. While it might sound nice on paper the amount paid back ould have little to no correlation to what the student's education actually cost. You could go to a very expensive law school, and then only get a job working in a grocery store and only have 3% of a minimum wage job paid towards the law degree. Sure the opposite could/would happen, but it would probably be a lot less common. Most likely the future employment would be less than the cost of the education, aka, more government debt and future tax increases for everyone.... jeesh, I'm starting to sound like a Republican. ;)
How about we try to figure out how to lower costs instead.
Chris B Salt Lake City, UTJuly 10, 2013 2:43 p.m.
Why not?
Social Security works great.
They can try and claim all they want it's "paying forward" and that someone's tuition is already paid for, but any time someone gets something now for which payment may or may not happen - I'm suspect.
teleste Austin, TXJuly 10, 2013 2:39 p.m.
"It's paying forward a guarantee of free higher education to future students."
It amazes me how little people understand about benefits and entitlements.

Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) announced the closing of its previously announced $1.4 billion joint venture agreement with Sumitomo Corp. The joint venture covers approximately 650,000 net acres in the Cline shale and the Midland-Wolfcamp shale.
Sumitomo will invest $1.4 billion in exchange for 30% of Devon's interest in these projects.
At closing, Sumitomo invested $410 million in cash, composed of the initial cash contribution and Sumitomo's share of costs since the effective date of the transaction. The remaining $980 million will be invested in the form of a drilling carry. The drilling carry will fund 70% of Devon's capital requirements, resulting in Sumitomo paying 79% of the overall drilling and completion costs during the carry period.
Devon will serve as operator and expects the entire drilling carry to be realized by mid-2014.
