JEFFREY BROWN: And finally tonight, "NewsHour" economics correspondent Paul Solman continues his series on bank reform and the future of Wall Street.
So far, we have heard from Robert Kelly, CEO of Bank of New York Mellon, and Ronald Reagan's budget chief, David Stockman.
Tonight, the view of a former bank regulator who thinks today's bankers have not been regulated enough.
It's all part of Paul's ongoing reporting on Making Sense of financial news.
MAN: Oh, hi, Vern. Me and Shorty just borrowed your new truck to go down to that new branch of Vernon Savings and Loan in Wichita Falls.
PAUL SOLMAN: Vernon — or, as it became not-so-affectionately known in 1987, when the "NewsHour" did this story on the S&L crisis, "Vermin" Savings and Loan — a deregulated bank that invested depositor cash boldly, rewarded executives lavishly, and went bust in a Texas minute.
REPORTER: Don Dixon has filed for bankruptcy, and investigators have accused him of looting Vernon of some $8 million in salaries, dividends and bonuses.
PAUL SOLMAN: The government's William Black gave our Tom Bearden a peek into Dixon's perks, including his yacht, the High Spirits.
WILLIAM BLACK, University of Missouri, Kansas City: It's the sister ship to the presidential yacht, the Sequoia, and it was often berthed in Washington, D.C., where it was used as a lobbying platform by Dixon and had a number of very well-known congressmen and senators as its leading guests.
PAUL SOLMAN: Dixon eventually served 40 months in prison.
Bill Black, meanwhile, worked as a bank regulator through the mid-'90s, became an academic expert on white-collar crime, and wrote a book, "The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One," that Nobel laureate George Akerlof calls a classic.
Black says there are many parallels between today's financial institutions and the Vernons of yesteryear, and one big difference.
WILLIAM BLACK: In the savings and loan crisis, where the national commission finds that the typical large failure fraud was invariably present, we had over 1,000 convictions of senior insiders, what the FBI referred to as priority cases. At this stage among the subprime lending specialists, we have zero convictions. We have zero indictments.
PAUL SOLMAN: So, what would you do?
WILLIAM BLACK: I would prosecute the felons.
So, in September 2004, the FBI began publicly warning that there was — quote, unquote — "epidemic" of mortgage fraud, and it predicted that it would produce an economic crisis, if it were not dealt with. The FBI has also said that 80 percent of the mortgage fraud losses occur when lender personnel are involved. So, Fitch looks at a small sample of these loans, finally, in November 2007.
PAUL SOLMAN: Fitch is one of the ratings agencies?
WILLIAM BLACK: Yes. It's the smallest of the big three.
What did they find? They said, the results were disconcerting, in that there was the appearance of fraud in nearly every file we examined. And they said that normal underwriting would have detected all of those frauds.
So, this is coming from the lenders overwhelmingly. They created incentive systems for the loan brokers and the loan officers that were based overwhelmingly on volume, and nothing on quality. We know that they gutted their underwriting standards. We know that you got in trouble if you were moral and tried to be a good officer and protect the organization from loss.
PAUL SOLMAN: But, if I were a loan officer in those days, I think I would have said to myself, I'm getting money into the hands of people who previously wouldn't have been able to buy a home. And we all think homeownership is a good thing in America.
WILLIAM BLACK: Well, we have lots of things that we study in criminology of what we call neutralization techniques, where people try to interpret their criminal acts as socially beneficial. So, yes, psychologically, maybe that happened sometimes.
But until the FBI brings these cases, we're not going to have we're not going to have definitive information.
PAUL SOLMAN: What would you have us do about the major financial institutions as they currently exist?
WILLIAM BLACK: First, stop them from getting bigger. The 19 largest institutions are what we call systemically dangerous institutions. Many of them are already insolvent on any real market value basis.
PAUL SOLMAN: What do you mean insolvent? I mean, they're reporting large enough profits, that they can give bonuses to their employees.
WILLIAM BLACK: They were able to get Congress to extort FASB, which is the Accounting Standards Board, to change the rules, so that you no longer have to recognize losses on your bad loans, unless and until you actually sell them.
PAUL SOLMAN: Extort FASB? Why would it be extorting FASB?
WILLIAM BLACK: They said, you will change the rules, and you will change the rules such that banks no longer have to recognize their losses, or we will remove your authority over the accounting rules, which is the whole reason for existence for FASB, right? So, that's extortion in anybody's language.
PAUL SOLMAN: But they did that in order to give financial institutions some breathing room. After all, these assets were selling at fire-sale prices. Eventually, they would come back up. So, let things calm down and then price them.
WILLIAM BLACK: No. I mean, now, that — you're again stating the rhetoric that was used, but that's not the reality. This was done in 2009. The secondary market in subprime collapsed in March of 2007.
So, this wasn't some weird idiosyncratic price. And it's not correct that these assets didn't sell. They just sold at their true economic value, which is about 25 cents on the dollar, in terms of the collateralized debt obligations.
Now, if you have 75 percent losses, how many institutions that have large amounts of CDOs could possibly be solvent? And the answer is not many. And, so, they had the political juice to get the accounting rules changed.
Now, this is — of course, it was accounting fraud that allowed you to value these CDOs as if they were money good assets, AAA assets and such, when they were, in fact, loans overwhelmingly backed by fraudulent mortgages.
PAUL SOLMAN: But, in the early 1980s, the same thing was said about financial institutions who had loaned money to the Third World, Third World countries, and we said, let's be forbearing. Let's not mark-to-market and put them out of business. And that all worked out.
WILLIAM BLACK: Well, the 1980s, of course, were the savings and loan debacle, and that was the logic that people tried to apply there. Oh, you know, these are just misunderstood assets. They're not bad assets. It must just be cyclical. Let's just wait.
And that was the official policy of the government. And it produced what at that time was the worst financial scandal in U.S. history. It massively increased losses. Now, why did it do so? First, because, overwhelmingly, those were fraudulent loans that were causing the worst troubles. That's different than the loans to Brazil that you're referring to.
PAUL SOLMAN: You see no arguments that keeping the system as it is, is a legitimate political objective?
WILLIAM BLACK: Well, then you are going to have recurrent crises that get bigger and are disastrous. The financial firms get this burst of short-term profits. They max out their personal bonuses of their executives. It's great for them, but it's terrible for the world.
PAUL SOLMAN: Bill Black, thank you.
JEFFREY BROWN: In his next conversation, Paul gets a different take from a past banking regulator. That will come from William Isaac, former head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

A chance to work ... or failJul 5, 2012 By Steven R. Peck
Court ruling raises possibility that 'Obamacare' might be given an actual test in marketplace
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision last week upholding the constitutionality of President Obama's health care reform law has increased the likelihood of an intriguing possibility: that the law actually might be given the chance to go into effect so that the country could render an informed opinion on its worth.
The term "informed opinion" is important because it's apparent that the U.S. public has little understanding of what the law includes, requires and costs -- and there is a feeling that both the proponents and opponents of the law, nicknamed "Obamacare," are perfectly OK with that.
The language used to describe it in the unending political struggle, first in Congress and later in the courts, used the broadest possible generalities intended, it seems, not to inform but to deceive.
"Government takeover." "Affordable care." "Death panels." "Coverage for everyone." These are among the most popular bumper-sticker phrases being applied to the law from both sides. But not one of them actually fits the plan.
Private insurance companies, not the government, still would dominate health care coverage.
The word "affordable" is best used in describing the anticipated effect on the national deficit -- which is projected to be reduced under Obamacare -- than it does to Mr. and Mrs. Main Street, whose individual health care coverage very well could cost more.
Making sure elderly or ill patients and their families get consistent, informed opinions about their long-term health options -- and which treatments would be covered -- is a characteristic of the plan. That's a far cry from a government panel deciding who lives or dies.
Not "everyone" would be covered under Obamacare. It would ensure that millions more Americans do have health care coverage, but it does not guarantee coverage for all. For one thing, small businesses would not be required to cover their workers -- and most of them wouldn't, because they couldn't afford to.
And every state in the union has the chance to opt out of the program if it can come up with a workable alternative of its own. Wyoming is one of the states vowing to do just that.
The full implementation of Obamacare is a frightening prospect to some Americans, and an uncertain one even for the supporters. It is big, complicated, expensive, controversial and unpredictable. It might not work, which would hand its opponents a victory that no Senate vote or Supreme Court ruling ever could.
But repealing it or defunding it just as it is about to be given a true road test also is an unnerving prospect, if for no other reason than this: The need for comprehensive health care reform is very real, and growing daily. As the U.S. population continues to get older -- and, by default, sicker -- existing health-insurance practices, procedures and expenses will prove to be unacceptable. For many, they already are.
A solution is imperative. The nation needs an answer. A law has been passed and upheld in court. The most charitable word possible to describe it would be "imperfect." But that word also describes every piece of federal legislation ever created.
With the presidential election four months away, the debate over Obamacare will be carried on at full boil. As it goes on, it is reasonable to weigh whether that debate ought to ask if giving the law a chance to work -- or fail -- might be a good idea.

Although chewing lice spend their entire lives as parasites on birds, it is difficult to predict patterns of lice distribution, new research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, reveals.
Researcher Daniel Gustafsson has studied chewing lice on sandpipers around the world and investigated how host birds' migration patterns affect louse distribution and reationships.
With no wings and very small eyes, chewing lice are, by and large, helpless away from their host.
Daniel Gustafsson has studied species of chewing lice that live on the birds' wings and compared them with species that live on their body feathers.
"Given that chewing lice are almost totally dependent on direct contact between two birds to spread, lice that sit on birds' wings should find it easier to use occasional contact between two hosts to spread than those that sit closer to birds' bodies," Daniel Gustafsson says.
Unexpected results
But contrary to expectation, it would appear that body lice can spread more easily than wing lice, even though they live on parts of their host that less frequently come into contact with other birds.
"This is surprising as body lice should be more limited to one particular species of bird," Daniel Gustafsson says. "The real opportunities for spreading should be between parents and their offspring in the nest, or between adult birds during mating."
Genetic and morphological data from two different genera show complicated patterns.
"Wing lice from small bird host species are found on more host species than those that parasitize larger bird host species," Daniel Gustafsson says.
Genetically almost identical
Another unexpected result is that the body lice on almost all sandpipers worldwide, with the exception of those on dunlins and ruffs, are genetically almost identical.
"Sandpipers are incredibly mobile," Daniel Gustafsson says. "They breed around the Polar Circle but fly to the tropics during the Arctic winter, following specific migration routes known as flyways."
He has studied sandpipers in Sweden, Japan, Australia, and Canada.
When sandpipers migrate, they do so in enormous flocks, often tens of thousands strong and containing several different species. These winter flocks should offer excellent opportunities for the lice to spread as the birds often stand in tight groups at high tide and at night.
"But it would appear that several factors other than geography play a role, including the size of the host bird," Daniel Gustafsson explains. "Specific rest and wintering environments probably play a role, too, as some of the host birds that generally winter in fresh water localities carry species of wing lice that differ from those that live on bird species that are mainly found on the seashore."
Common on mammals
Some chewing lice have also been found hitch-hiking on louse flies, which are related to deer flies. In such cases they attach themselves to the louse flies' legs and abdomen.
Other chewing lice have been seen to switch between host ducks by walking on the water surface.
Chewing lice are common in birds and most groups of mammals. There are two species that live on humans: pubic lice and head lice.
The thesis has been successfully defended.

Newspaper Unknown
Died, at Fort Dodge, Iowa, on the 6th of the present month, my dear father, EHEN COLBY, of Elgin, Ills.
He died while on a visit to a daughter in the former place. And although over four hundred miles from home, a band of brothers ministered tenderly to his wants, casting sunshine over the evening of his life. He passed away so peacefully and quietly, giving evidence of the most beautiful trusting faith in Him who said: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." His last words were, "I'm glad I'm going home."
The noble fraternity, of which he had been an honored member for more than half a century, received him at Elgin, and performed the last sad rites. They met him as they had never done before. There was no clasping of hands, and no words of welcome; but they tenderly placed him beside my angel mother, who long since passed "over the river."
We know they are safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My father and mother are waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
We see the gleam of the fluttering sail,
And lo they have passed from our yearning hearts;
They cross the stream and are gone forays.
We may not sunder the vail apart
That hides from the vision the gates of day.
We only know that their harks no more
May sail with us o'er life's stormy sea,
Yet somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And I sit and think when the sunset's gold
Is flashing river, and hill, and shore.
I shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman's oar. I shall watch for the gleam of the flapping sail;
I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand;
I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land.
I shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the greeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of death shall carry me.

Cam Neely netted the game-winner for the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Adams Division finals on April 29,1991.
The Bruins legend beat Patrick Roy on a slapshot from the blue line just 16 seconds into a Boston power play to help his team knock the Canadiens out of the playoffs for the second straight year. The series win also marked the first time in franchise history that the B's won a Game 7 against Montreal.

After already announcing plans for an Ultimate edition of Windows Vista, Microsoft confirmed this week that it also plans an Ultimate edition of Office 2007.
The new retail package, which was not part of the Office 2007 lineup announced back in February, will offer nearly all the components available to large businesses in one $679 product. A Microsoft representative said on Thursday that the new entrant in the lineup was "created as a result of customer feedback," but didn't offer more details on its origins.
Office Ultimate is similar to the enterprise edition that is available only to large businesses, and includes standards like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, along with Publisher, the OneNote note-taking software, the Groove collaboration suite, Access database and InfoPath forms software. Microsoft did not announce pricing for the enterprise edition, since it is only available for volume licensing customers.

While testing cannot be used as a substitute for investigating code,
you can identify potential Year 2000 problems by testing software in an
artificial environment that simulates future dates.
The OpenVMS operating system allows you to set the system clock forward
to create an appropriate testing environment. This allows you to test a
variety of post-year 2000 scenarios, such as whether January 1, 2000
falls on a Saturday and March 1, 2000 falls on a Wednesday (after leap
day on February 29).
Note that many system applications and layered products are affected by
any substantial modification of system time. The testing procedure described on this website is
similar to that used for common maintenance operations (such as system
upgrades) and includes steps to minimize the side effects of modifying
system time.
You may wish to perform other tests. In addition to regression test
suites, we also ran other tests, including load testing, cluster tests,
the User Environment Test Package (UETP), and ad hoc tests of
DECwindows Motif, the Backup utility, the job controller, and the file
system exerciser. Test clusters contained a combination of both
DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS (Phase V) and DECnet for OpenVMS (Phase IV)

3 Days Non-Refrigerated Frosting For Under Bakels Pettinice?
Baking By calet Updated 2 Nov 2012 , 12:37pm by Chellescakes
I want to make mini cupcakes for my friend's wedding a couple of days ahead of time.
I've found a mini mud cake recipe that will be OK for up to 3 days, and I want to fully cover/decorate with Bakel's. Does anyone know a crusting frosting recipe to do a 'cake layer' to smooth out the cupcake before covering that will last un-refrigerated and not turn the mud cake to mush?
I'm in NZ, so hopefully a recipe not with 'only US' ingredients
The recipe section here is full of really good crusting buttercream recipes. I look for the ones with the most stars in the reviews.
I use ganache when I do cupcakes, I only make mudcake cupcakes mine last for at least two weeks without refrigeration and are still wonderfully moist.
I use bakels pettinice as well so I know it will go fine .
Lovely! thanks for the help. Can you post your ganache recipe? I've never made it before :/
2 parts chocolate and 1 part cream . I usually do 400g dark choc to 200ml of cream. I bring the cream to the boil remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until it is smooth. let it set up at room temp and it should be the consistency of a smooth peanut butter.
I use any good tasting eating chocolate , I prefer the aldi one as I find it makes a smooth ganache. I have had some issues with Old Gold lately and splitting so wouldn't advise using that.
If you are going to do white choc the ratio is 3parts choc to cream.
Hope this helps.

Tulloch scratches endurance itch
Southland's Ian "Inky" Tulloch will create local motorsport history next month when he imports a new Camaro GT3 race car into New Zealand to contest the Highlands 101 endurance race in Cromwell in November.
Tulloch, the former mayor of Mataura and Gore District and a successful businessman, has won numerous national and Australian motor racing titles in his four-plus decades of motorsport, including seven super truck championships.
Often the successes came in race cars built by his own team, Tulloch Motorsport.
He has a growing interest in endurance racing, having contested Australia's famed Bathurst 12-Hour race and winning a one-hour enduro at Teretonga in March.
Earlier this year he test-drove a 650-horsepower, 7.9-litre V8 Camaro in Italy. "The Camaro GT3 is built with the reliability for endurance racing," he said. "That's why it appealed to me. It's very predictable to drive, with great handling, brakes and power.
"I have a strong personal connection with Camaro, having won my first championship in a Camaro, the NZ GTX saloon car title, in the late 1970s."
Tulloch says he got "itchy feet" watching last year's inaugural Highlands 101 in Central Otago last November. "I know a few of the Australian GT Championship guys like Rod Salmon, with whom I've contested the Bathurst 12-Hour.
"The enduro guys tend to be a good group of racers with lots of racing experience, and there's a really supportive team atmosphere. It's also one form of motorsport I haven't focused on before, so that lends a certain appeal.
"I can see that endurance races will continue to rise in popularity with events like the Highlands 101. These events offer great racing for fans to enjoy, especially with the array of exotic cars we see in races like the 101. And in terms of racing a GT3-spec car, it's fantastic to think you can race it anywhere in the world where GT3 races are run; you've also got a wider market should you ever wish to sell it."
There are only four Camaro GT3 cars in the world, all produced by German GT racing specialist Hans Reiter, founder and director of Reiter Engineering, which has about 100 customers in Europe, America and Asia competing in Reiter-built Lamborghini GT race cars.
In 2013, Reiter established a new division, Sareni Camaro, to transform the world-famous American muscle car into a trendsetting GT racer. The Sareni Camaro is competing in ADAC GT Masters series and the Blancpain sprint series in Britain with some success.
The fact the Camaro GT3 uses a proven race gearbox with its Holinger speed-shift system and a rear-end similar to a V8 Supercar appealed to Tulloch.
The Camaro is being imported for Tulloch by Justin McMillan, head of M-Motorsport, who is the agent for Reiter Engineering in Australia.
McMillian will provide engineering support to Tulloch and coordinate a stock of spares for the Camaro. He also runs a Reiter Engineering-prepared Lamborghini Gallardo in the Australian GT Championship.
Tulloch's Camaro GT3 will be only the second of its kind to be raced by a team other than Reiter's. It will line up on the Highlands 101 starting grid among the Audis, Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens and Aston Martins more commonly seen in the GT sports car categories.
"If everything goes to schedule, the Camaro will be in New Zealand in early September," Tulloch says. "It's already had some track time before it was packed into the container in Germany, but I may not get much time in it myself before the first event we hope to contest in September."
Tulloch's goal is to get to grips with the Camaro before he prepares to qualify for the Highlands 101 on November 8-9. He may also contest next year's Australian GT Championship. The Highlands 101 race features a modern take on the Le Mans running start and compulsory pit stops for two drivers.

GNU make best practices; single makefile, multiple programs or libs
I have a reoccurring problem for which I haven't been able to find a best/common/accepted way of handling when using make with g++. Sometimes in a project I may want to have multiple outputs built from the same sources, but maybe only have a few minor differences(and therefore aren't really separate projects). Make seems really geared towards building only a single program or lib per makefile/project from what I have seen.
An example might be two programs that are built from the same source, but maybe use the code differently (different main func and as a result maybe minor differences in what is included) I know sometimes this is handled by putting all the functionality in a single executable and linking to it with different names (hd/hexdumb, gcc/g++/etc), but sometimes programs are different enough that this is awkward. Another example would be developing a lib and a CLI for the lib together in the same project. They could be separate projects, but keeping them together under a single makefile allows the CLI to be updated whenever the lib's header changes. This allows the libs test scripts to test the updated lib via the newly complied CLI.
It is definitely possible to accomplish this, but it seems like when I do it, I am going against the grain and is usually more difficult. Generally makefiles have one set of linker flags, compiler flags, object list, etc.
Is there a good/accepted way to do this or is doing so a bad practice that I missed somehow? I like sticking to established standards whenever possible.
Makefile's can descend from the main directory to run other makefile's in sub-directories.
Have you considered the possibility of structuring this as a collection of dependent sub-projects?
It depends on how different the programs are, and if some files need to be compiled differently for each, i.e. with different defines for example. If each file is only compile once for everything it's not too hard at all. You would have something like:
(omitting the actual lines that do any work)
somelib: bla.o bla2.o
somecommonstuff_for_cli.o: somecommonstuff.c
MerlinBlack's approach looks good, certainly for small projects. If you need to compile the same source but with different options, then you'll need to keep the two object files separate, either by the method already given, or using directories:
all: cli gui
bin_PROGRAMS = myctrl mymon
I like the per dir flags method. Maybe I'll run with that. I'm just surprised that there are no "cookbook" examples out there for this kind of pattern. I thought maybe it was because doing so violated some kinda of best practice.
I tried recursive make originally, but quickly realised why this practice is falling out of favour. Currently I have something similar to MerlinBlack's first example but I have outgrown this approach.

San Diego County's largest celebration of Native American tradition and culture, the 41st Annual Barona Powwow, will be held at the Barona Baseball Field on Sept. 2-4.
Since its inception in 1970, the tribal celebration has grown into a three-day event drawing over 10,000 Native Americans and visitors from across the nation and featuring more than 200 dancers competing for $60,000 in cash prizes.
"Over the past four decades, the Barona Powwow has grown to become such a wonderful cultural celebration and we are proud to be able to share it with visitors from San Diego and throughout the United States," said Edwin "Thorpe" Romero, chairman of the Barona Band of Mission Indians. "During Labor Day weekend, guests will have the opportunity to come out to Barona and experience traditional Native American culture by watching a variety of performances, tasting traditional Indian foods and visiting crafts booths. It is an exciting event for all."
The Powwow will showcase traditional tribal dances from dancers of all ages, singing and music, a hand drum contest and handcrafted arts and jewelry. Visitors will also have the opportunity to taste a variety of authentic Native American cuisine, including Indian fry bread, and take part in games and contests for all ages.
To help celebrate the powwow, the Barona Cultural Center & Museum has extended its 40th anniversary powwow exhibition. The Barona Band of Mission Indians invites all to visit the museum exhibit to learn about the event's history and traditions. The commemorative retrospective — Barona Powwow Celebrates 40 Years — is available for viewing in the Barona Museum Community Center through Sept. 4.
The Barona Baseball Field is at 1095 Barona Road, one mile north of Barona Resort & Casino on the Barona Indian Reservation. Admission and parking are free.
The Barona Band of Mission Indians, recognized by the U.S. government as a sovereign nation, has lived on the Barona Indian Reservation since 1932. Prior to that, the tribe lived on the Capitan Grande Reservation, which was established by the federal government in 1875.
Long before living on a reservation, the tribe traveled across Southern California in tune with the seasons and what nature provided. One of the most successful gaming tribes in the country, Barona also owns and operates the Barona Resort & Casino.
For more information, call 619-443-6612 or visit www.barona-nsn.gov.

Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Good luck!!!
though draw.. but if se is healthy he can make it to the quaters (I'd like to see Haas-Gonzalez match like in Indian Wells.. and with the same score, for Tommy's favor again!)
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
I like his first Rd Match--BYE :lol: At least that gives him points right away :)
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Tommy plays against Monaco again. Maybe tomorrow...
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
4-6 5-7 :(
He can say bye bye to Shanghai.
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Here we go again. It's the end of the season, he has realistic chances to make it to the TMC, and this is what happens. Well, let's see how the others (Blake, Robredo, etc.) do in their first matches. Haas might consider trying to get a WC for Lyon.
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
That was a quick out :ras: Tommy :help: Blame me I made the mistake of v-betting on Tommy--never a good idea :banghead:
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
I wonder if he's going to ask for a WC now. But anyway, his chances are pretty low. I guess 3 or 4 players will pass him in the race after Madrid.
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Tommy :sad: :sad: :hug:
I hope he will ask (and get..) WC for Lyon.. he has realistic chance for TMC with good preformences in Paris(and Lyon if he'll be there..)and if Blake, Robredo, Ljubicic lose.. (Gonzalez will probably Qualify.. He won today and his draw really wide open..)
Did anyone see the mtch yesterday? He was up a brake in the 1st set and then....:help:
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
he could ask for a WC at any of the tournaments next week, or am I wrong? I'm sure he could also get one in Basel.
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
Yes he can ask for a WC. And Tommy should do it because Blake, Gasquet, Moya, Berdych and Ljubicic lost too. :eek:
Re: ++ Tommy in Madrid ++
And now also Robredo. :lol:
It's very likely that Haas will now keep his current ranking in the race for another week. I hope that scared him enough, to avoid another horrible 1st/2nd round loss, be it next week, or in Paris.

Visitor Reviews of Powder Mountain
top corner from United States writes:
To begin a correction to snow-forecast resort guide: pow mow (Powder Mountain) has slightly more than 300 vertical feet. It's about 2000, also pow mow relies 100 percent on natural snow, isn't that refreshing. As far as terrain goes I would describe as an intermediate-advanced powder skiers-riders paradise and there is enough steep skiing to keep any ability interested. This ski area is huge with unique access such as powder safaris and single run sno-cat rides, lifts are laid out well for easy terrain access. It takes days not hours for this mtn. to get tracked out after a dump, so check it out, or better yet don't and leave that powder to me!

If you're wondering if billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony Stark aka Iron Man will ever battle the evil machinations of his greatest enemy The Mandarin anytime soon, you can probably stop wondering now. He definitely won't be fighting the Chinese villain in "Iron Man 3", that's for sure, especially with this news that Marvel has partnered up with Chinese-based company DMG to fund the sequel.
The Walt Disney Company China, Marvel Studios and DMG Entertainment today announced the intention to co-produce IRON MAN 3 in China. Under the arrangement, DMG Entertainment will make an investment in the production of IRON MAN 3, manage the Chinese co-production process, and jointly produce the film in China. The Chinese portion of IRON MAN 3's production will run through DMG Entertainment in coordination with Marvel Studios' production and creative teams. DMG will also distribute IRON MAN 3 in China in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company China.
"The popularity of the Marvel franchise globally creates a huge opportunity to deliver fans yet another action packed film," said Stanley Cheung, Managing Director, The Walt Disney Company, Greater China. "The co-production of IRON MAN 3 in China is testimony to the importance of this audience to Disney and the local industry capability to deliver a blockbuster title," he added.
"We look forward to working alongside DMG to bring IRON MAN to the Chinese marketplace in a significant way. We are confident that Marvel's stories will continue to be enjoyed by Chinese audiences, and adding a local flavor, and working with our new local partner, will enhance the appeal and relevance of our characters in China's fast-growing film marketplace" said Rob Steffens, General Manager of Operations and Finance for Marvel Studios
In case you're wondering why Chinese money and guaranteed more Chinese theater screenings for "Iron Man 3" means no Mandarin in the "Iron Man" franchise, it's a pretty simple explanation: the Chinese vet every movie that runs in their country, and any movie where the Chinese are portrayed as bad guys are no-gos. (See: the recent "Red Dawn" remake fiasco.) Then again, the Mandarin is supposed to be half-English, so…
The Mandarin, of course, was hinted at in the first "Iron Man" movie, as the Ten Rings terrorist organization that kidnapped ol Tony Stark and led to him becoming Iron Man in the first place. This, though, would seem to jive with previous reports that Ben Kingsley was in talks to play the villain in "Iron Man 3", and that it would not be The Mandarin.
Written and directed by Shane Black, "Iron Man 3" is scheduled to boot-jet its way back into theaters in May 3, 2013, with shooting expected this Summer in the States and China once Robert Downey Jr. and company have wrapped the worldwide promotional junket for "The Avengers", which will feature ol Shellhead as one of the main heroes. (And yes, the irony that there will be no Mandarin for a film that's being partially shot in China does not escape me one bit.)

Hi *, I don't know if this is really a bug but surely is something that is giving a lot of problems to psycopg (pyhton/postgresql adapter). psycopg 1.1.11+ checks for libpq version at runtime and, if available uses the new protocol api (mainly to extract non-localized error codes after errors). now, the problem is that a *lot* of users have two different libpq versions of their systems and usually psycopg gets compiled against 7.4 and runtime-linked against 7.3, resulting in an error (symbols not found). the question is: there is any special reason to change the api of a library and *not* change the soname? having changed the soname of the library would have avoided this kind of problems. thank you in advance for your time, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio http://people.initd.org/fog Debian GNU/Linux Developer fog(at)debian(dot)org INIT.D Developer fog(at)initd(dot)org We are all dust, Saqi, so play the lute We are all wind, Saqi, so bring wine. -- Omar Khayam

Take Animated GIFs In This Photo Booth
The Bosco is a Brooklyn-based company that makes social, automated 3D and animated picture-taking machines.
Photo booths are all the rage these days, and company The Bosco, has created one that can take a range of enhanced photos and share them to the user's social networks. It's like a big Instagram booth, but with way more than just filters.
The rentable booth has an iPad interface and takes regular photos, 3D images, videos and animated GIF images — their most popular feature. Users can then simultaneously upload captured images to their social networks as they print them. The range of options really creates a personal product people will be connected to, and The Bosco's technical sophistication to the product.
Another example of how technology is pushing consumer imaging in new directions, primarily towards 3D and animation, The Bosco is more than a fun party toy. It has a variety of branding and advertising potential, whether just attaching a logo in the corner of photos uploaded at an event or combining it with augmented reality to have the user interact with branded entities. The sense of ownership and connection that a user has walking away with a special photo of themselves is a remarkably powerful feeling and a great opportunity.

Johannesburg - South African tennis player Kevin Anderson's coach Louis Vosloo believes the No 1-ranked South African has the talent to feature among the world's top 20.
Vosloo was speaking after Anderson's narrow 6-3, 6-7 (3/7), 2-6 quarter-final defeat in the Stockholm Open to Argentine Juan-Martin Del Potro - the eventual winner of the tournament.
The SA player retained his 39th position, after the world rankings were released on Monday by the ATP, but Vosloo said Anderson was close to a top 20 place.
"Yes, the loss against Del Potro was very difficult to stomach," said Vosloo, a former South African Davis Cup player.
"I really thought we were going to pull this one off and break the shackles, but unfortunately Kevin came just short after he had Del Potro in real trouble for two-thirds of the match.
"But again, there were many positives from the outcome. This was a Del Potro in top form and having a great indoor run."
Vosloo said Anderson had shown his mettle this year by coming within a whisker of beating Thomas Berdych, John Isner and now Del Potro when they were all ranked among the top 10 players in the world.
"Kevin oh so nearly pulled it off against one of the game's premier players, who is among the top five indoor players in the world," Vosloo said.
Del Potro went on to thrash talented Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals, and then edged Roger Federer in Sunday's final.
"Kevin's level in the first two sets against Del Potro was of a very high standard and no quarter was given or asked," Vosloo explained.
"While Kevin took Del Potro to three sets in their previous match as well, the Argentinian ace seemed to have an extra gear at his disposal to take control.
"Kevin earned his respect. Just like Berdych did earlier this year in the French Open five-setter. He is still acclimatising to being one of the top players. Some people need time."
Vosloo was confident Anderson could still hit his best form as he had only been on the main tennis circuit for three years without a break.
"He will start winning many of these close encounters and be ranked among the top 20 in the world," said Vosloo.
"When Kevin gets confident and fully believes in himself, there is no reason he cannot win these tough matches and fulfil his dreams. It's only a matter of time, I believe, with very exciting times ahead for him."
Anderson on Monday started his Paris Masters campaign on a high note after routing Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci 6-2,6-1 in the French capital.

Martina McBride to Release 11th Studio Album in October
Martina McBride has finally announced the release date of her aptly-titled eleventh studio album, 'Eleven,' which hits shelves on the eleventh of October!
The eleven-song album marks new territory for the Grammy-winning singer, whose career has spanned two decades and produced 24 Top 10 singles. With 'Eleven,' Martina returns with a new producer, manager and record label (Republic Nashville), and some of her most personal material to date.
"This is such an amazing time in my life and my career," says the angelic-voiced songbird. "I feel like I've been given the support and power to go into the studio and write and create an album that pushes the boundaries of what people expect of me, while still being true to myself. I can't wait for October 11th so that I can finally share this new music with my fans!"
Martina penned six of the project's eleven songs — the most co-writes she has on any of her albums — including lead single 'Teenage Daughters,' which was inspired by her own 16-year-old daughter, Delaney.
"When we played five or six songs for the record label, they immediately turned around after 'Teenage Daughters' was over and said, 'That's your first single,'" Martina revealed in an interview with Our Country. "I was so happy. Yes, it's about people who have teenage daughters, but also, if you've been a teenage daughter, if you have a niece or sister or somebody in your life that you're close to that you've gone through the teenage years with, you can identify with it for sure."
The album's second single, 'I'm Gonna Love You Through It,' was released on July 25. It is a touching tune about the power of love and a woman's battle with cancer.
'Eleven' is in stores on October 11, 2011. Martina will be performing in Philadelphia, Pa., tonight (August 11). For more of her tour dates, click here.

Fedora 14 Gnome or KDE
Hello forum! Fedora 14 released. Which spin do you prefer? With KDE or Gnome?
My recommendation is that it doesn't matter.
You can always install with one, then download the other and switch back and forth.
KDE lost me with v. 4. I lean KDE, but dislike all the extra Akonadi overhead which I don't want or need and which, if I remove it, keeps knocking on the door.
Nevertheless, I prefer some of the KDE apps and tools to their Gnome equivalents (particularly Konqueror for file browsing, Kate, Konsole, Ksnapshot, and Kolourpaint). Plus it's convenient to have both Gnome and KDE libraries available.
So I install whatever's on the CD, download what else I want, replace Gnome/Kscreensaver with xscreensaver, and run Fluxbox for my desktop.
1 Attachment(s)
i prefer Gnome, more stable than KDE, KDE is sluggish , has more crashes and is annoying,
to me KDE feels like vista to windows, even windows 7 runs smooth and faster than any linux KDE version but Gnome is a little bit faster than win 7, with all effects activated, compiz ,rotating cube, etc etc ( in this same laptop)
even slackware linux KDE with so many things turned off by default , i mean akonadi and a lot of services doesnt even match the speed of my Fedora box.
Gnome is more responsive and faster KDE, at least in my laptop :
HP dv2500 ,Intel Centrino Duo, 2GB ram , 250GB ,
there is a reason Fedora ships with Gnome by default.
Version 4.5.5-1 is very stable now and a lot more customizable than Gnome.
At the time when I had my dual core system, I had the 32 bit Gnome and KDE 64 bit versions. The KDE version wasn't bad, was using it about a year ago. Though, I'm a diehard Gnome user fan!
Actually, I prefer LXDE. But given the choice between GNOME and KDE, I'd have to go with GNOME. On the other hand, my preference is irrelevant - use whatever DE/WM you prefer.
This is my first post here..
About KDE or Gnome, well, I use both. Love Gnome, but I prefer some KDE apps, but, well, this is open source, if there is a feature in a KDE-app that you will like to be in a Gnome-app, you can always write it yourself, this is a good way of contributing and help improve software.
Any idea on this?
[QUOTE=wporta;4253160I've always wonder why is Gnome default in Fedora.
Any idea on this?[/QUOTE]
Not really, but if FAQs pages really presented FAQs, I'm sure this would be one of them. :)
I have used and prefer Gnome since Fedora Core 10. The hardware I had back then was not the latest but it was no slug. KDE loaded a lot slower than Gnome. And I like things that load fast. To me it means Gnome uses less system resources. That means less strain on the system and longer life. I think most people -- especially young -- like KDE because it is more pleasing, all the eye candy. Gnome feels and looks more practical. I think maybe this is why Fedora ships with Gnome as the default browser. Since Red Hat relies on the Linux community to refine Fedora and then apply these refinements to future Red Hat products it makes sense they would accommodate the more practical minded.
When I first started using Fedora Core I had a relatively slow combination of hardware and I had to use IceWM. It is a bare bones window manager that loads much faster than KDE or Gnome. That was when FC4 was the current version. All that being said, Gnome gets my vote over KDE even though I use several programs developed for KDE.
Like most of the user said, I would go with Gnome..

No surprises here — when Scarlett Johansson stepped out for the London premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the mom-to-be kept her sexy streak going in a ruby Vivienne Westwood Red Label number.
Of course, this isn't the first time she's dressed not-so-much the part since revealing she's going to be a parent! Late last month, Scarlett suited up in Christian Dior to pick up her Cesar Film Award in Paris, and when she paid a visit to New York earlier in the year, she took the occasion to bare her gams. See all the looks that have us expecting Scarlett will be one hot mama!

Police Hope Dropped Items Lead Them To Home Invasion Suspects
Police said three masked men burst into a northeast Columbus home containing two women and a toddler early Wednesday.
"My daughter had opened up the door because she was getting ready to go to work, and they busted through the door," said a woman calling 911.
Officers responded to the scene in the 5700 block of Forest Elm Lane just after 7 a.m.
Police said that one of the robbers held a gun to a woman's face while she was holding a 1-year-old boy in her arms.
"They had guns on me and my grand-baby and my daughter," stated the 911 caller.
Neighbors said they heard yelling but said it sounded like a domestic argument.
"I couldn't make out words," said neighbor Erik Haffenden. "I heard a lady in particular yelling really loud."
Haffenden said he thought it might have been a domestic disturbance, something he said is common in this neighborhood.
According to officers, the masked gunmen stole a $50 bill out of one of the women's purses, shoes and a cell phone.
Police said the men ran out of the back door of the home and tried to jump a fence, dropping stolen shoes and one of the weapons.
The woman told police she and her family did not know their attackers, and said the masked gunmen wanted it that way.
Police said they hoped the items that were dropped would help identify those involved.
No one was injured in the home invasion.

Seriously, I giggled my way through all of the captions this week! Either you guys really ripped it up or I'm just exhausted from yet another trip photographing The Big E -- insert shameless plug here. I'm thinking a little bit of both -- if you haven't checked them out, you really should, they are over here.
As we know however, there can be only 1 because for some reason we only ordered one set of bragging rights and this week they go out to Ms. queenmaryj for her caption "The "stick guys" all agreed they were better off than the "shovel guys." I snorted when I read that one so she wins. I have to say, I do agree with her other statement, that the guy in the middle is totally rockin', even with the lederhosen.
So thanks everyone for another really funny installation of Caption that Critter -- I'll be back on Sunday with a new photo for your captioning pleasure. Have a great week!

WASHINGTON – An analysis released today by the Institute for America's Future finds that retail behemoth Wal-Mart Inc. sucked more than $20 billion out of local economies across America this holiday season.
Despite slower-than-projected revenue growth for December, Wal-Mart still brought in $66 billion for the holiday season – more than five times the revenue of its next-largest competitor. Looking more closely, Wal-Mart's siphoning means a loss of billions in wages and benefits paid, lost purchases of inventory, supplies and services from other local businesses, lost tax revenue to local government and lost contributions to local charities.
"America, as we know it, can't afford Wal-Mart," said Robert Borosage, president of the Institute for America's Future. "People across America are starting to realize the stark reality: Wal-Mart's triumph is the defeat of middle-class America. If Wal-Mart sets the pace, Americans will pay the price, in declining wages, rising health care costs, longer hours, worsening workplace conditions and rising personal taxes to offset soaring corporate subsidies."
The Institute for America's Future analysis combines today's December retail sales report from Wal-Mart to its previously reported November sales to define the company's overall holiday sales. The report applies that holiday sales total to research done by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance to calculate the cost to local communities.
According to a report by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, $100 spent in locally owned businesses provides the town and surrounding area $44.60, while large retail chains only give back $14.10 to local communities, mainly in the form of wages and service. Therefore, local communities lose at least $30.50 for every $100 spent at Wal-Mart.
For this holiday season, Wal-Mart's record-breaking sales mean staggering losses for Main Street, U.S.A.: $20.3 billion. Had that $66 billion been spent at locally owned businesses, it would have generated some $29.7 billion for local communities. However, thanks to Wal-Mart, that $66 billion translates to only $9.4 billion going into local economies.

Louis van Gaal has warned Marcos Rojo he must learn to temper his aggression if he is to be a success at Manchester United.
Rojo became United's third signing of the summer earlier this week when he moved to Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon in a £16million deal.
The 24-year-old arrives at the club on the back of a successful World Cup campaign with Argentina, who beat Van Gaal's Holland side in the semi-finals.
The defender also brings with him a poor disciplinary record of 21 yellow and four red cards in his 49 league appearances for Sporting.
Van Gaal is a big fan of Rojo, but he says the player must learn to be calmer on the pitch.
"He has to be aggressive in the right moment," the Manchester United manager said.
"When I have to say something about him that I have to criticise, that is it – he has to control himself in every moment.
"He can improve in that and maybe I can help him."
Rojo, speaking during his unveiling at the AON Training Complex in Carrington, said he was delighted to be joining a club he regards as the biggest in the world.
Although he is now considered the enemy by Manchester City fans, Rojo revealed he has received good luck messages from compatriots Pablo Zabaleta, Sergio Aguero and Martin Demichelis, who play for United's neighbours.
"I have received messages from all of them saying welcome to Manchester," Rojo said.
"We know each other outside of football as well."
The defender's performance against Holland in the final-four clash in Sao Paulo alerted Van Gaal to his capabilities.
"I had to analyse Argentina when I was playing against him and in that video I was already enthusiastic about him," said Van Gaal, who has an open idea about where the player can slot into his XI.
"I think Marcos fits into the profile as a left central defender or a left wing-back," he said.
"He played for Argentina as a left wing-back but at Sporting Lisbon he played as a central defender.
"He had a fantastic World Cup. I am very pleased."
Rojo is unavailable for United's Premier League game against Sunderland this weekend as he is yet to receive a work permit.

The Locke Town Board voted unanimously tonight to no longer require liability insurance for contractors seeking building permits, the town supervisor said.
The decision, effective immediately, reversed the town's previous policy, Supervisor Jean James said.
Town officials recently found the state does not require liability insurance for contractors. And Locke had never enacted a town law requiring it.
The town's policy had barred Amish contractors from working for non-Amish residents, because the Amish don't buy insurance. Doing so erodes community trust and support, they say.
The town had allowed Amish contractors to work for other Amish, "to honor their tradition," Town Attorney Andrew Fusco has said.
Both James and Fusco have said there was never any intent to discriminate against the Amish, only to apply the town's rules evenhandedly.

Jay Cutler at home vs the Jax defense
Josh McCown at home vs the Cleveland defense
Jay Cutler should start, McCown might not even start this week and with the way LaMont has been running the ball he wont get many oppritunities to throw anyway.
Thats what I would do anyway.
Josh McCown at home vs Cleveland.
Cutler is a safe bet for 200+ 1 touchdown. But he plays agains Jax which has a good D. Also Jax was gutted by Tenn's ground game. This means that Denver might just grind it out all day with Travis Henry and that zone blocking scheme. Cutler might just be there to manage the game. Not win it.
Josh McCown had a great couple of weeks and is going up against a defense that just gave up almost a 50 spot to cincy. Palmer had SIX passing touchdowns. If Josh can get 1/2 of that, it will almost be an automatic win for you.
Take a chance and go for the big points and the W.

McCown was pretty bad last week, but he wasnt playing the browns either.
This is from Yahoo Fantasy Sports
Sep 20 The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin said QB Josh McCown (foot) will start Week 3 ahead of QB Daunte Culpepper, but both could see action in the game.
Sharing time is not good for Fantasy Football Points
I was leaning to McCown - but sadly, it's because he's from my alma mater - Sam Houston State University in the beautiful prison town of Huntsville TX. LOL
Thanks for the advice, guys.
So when you go with McCown is Culpepper included?
McCowns days are almost over in Oakland.

Looking southwest this is part of the Nixon family memorials which make up most of the cemetery.
Looking west this is a photo of part of the Nixon family memorials.
Looking north this is a photo of part of the Nixon family memorials. That hedge in the upper left corner of the photo contains the memorial of James V. Gray.
It was told to me that this Nixon family is related to former President Richard Nixon. Mr. Hickman who showed me this cemetery said that several people came up from Texas years ago and visited this cemetery and related that information to him . If true the chances of a close connection are rare due to the prevalence of the surname Nixon around the south.
Also from this photo in the distance is the black cemetery. It is a very new cemetery or there is a prevalence of old unmarked graves. My suspicion is that the black cemetery was utilized prior to the civil war as a slave graveyard and afterward continued to be used. That is a historical hunch and I am not sure, but this Nixon family was active here during the slavery years and may have brought black people here. Slavery did also include white people in early times, but whites generally had an easier time getting their independence for some reason.
This is the box tomb area of the Briggs & Kittrell family. As stated in other places these memorials are all fallen and many of the parts of the box tombs are buried underground. It is a major undertaking to restore these tombs. Heavy equipment will be needed along with extra building products to prop up the broken parts. The tops are too heavy to be glued and need to be supported by blocks. Generally box tombs have a top, four or eight sides, and a bottom which covered the grave. Older ones used rough cut stone to support the top. Rarely did the tomb include burial above ground. Some of the ones that fell were repaired by removing the top and filling with box with soil and resetting the top. That makes them appear as though there is a burial inside the box.

BRASS RINGS? CABLEFAX DAILY notes Comcast Chair & CEO Brian Roberts "was a little hesitant" when asked at an investor conference Friday if Comcast-NBC "can make money" on the London Olympics. Roberts said, "I think the answer might very well be yes, but I don't want to say for sure yet. We do feel the advertising market for sports content in particular is very, very desirable." DirecTV Chair, President & CEO Mike White said that "distributors are making disciplined choices." White: "We have not put the Longhorn Network on, and have no plans to. We haven't figured out what we're doing with the Pac-12, but we're not going to have 7 channels. I can assure you of that. We don't know what we'll do with the new (Time Warner Cable) RSNs in Los Angeles" (CABLEFAX DAILY, 6/4).
GETTING THE AX: Fuel TV decided to cancel its nightly action sports news show, "Action Sports Plus," meaning 13 L.A.-based production staffers will be out of a job at the end of the month. Fox made the decision based on ratings, which never took hold for the show. The Fox-owned cable channel is in 36 million homes. "Since introducing UFC programming in January, Fuel TV has grown its audience more than any other ad-supported cable network this year," Fox Sports said via e-mail. "Unfortunately, not every show has built on that success, and 'Action Sports Plus,' having not developed the viewership necessary to sustain it, has been canceled. It will go off the air at the end of June" (John Ourand, THE DAILY).
RUNNING WILD: The TAMPA BAY TIMES reported San Diego-based Competitor Group Inc. has acquired Women's Running magazine, the Lady Speed Stick Women's Half Marathon Series and WomensRunning.com, "all founded by Dawna Stone" in St. Petersburg. Terms of the acquisitions "were not disclosed." But CGI said it would use the Women's Running assets to build "the largest participatory platform in the world dedicated to female athletes." Stone will join CGI "as a consultant and media contributor" (TAMBABAY.com, 6/1).

how to edit the features in a STEP/IGES file format ?
Use the "FeatuteWorks" feature in the Solidworks. I use it always when the suppliers/costumers give me step or iges file. It isn't available in the standard version. This is able to rebuild the model with Solidworks features. Therefore you can modify the new part.
(ehhh....I should write a tutorial for the challege ....XD)
Another name for these imported file types is dumb solid. The reason is because there is not a feature/history tree with sketches or dimensions to edit. You can, usually, add to and cut away the dumb solid to modify it. Just pick a planer face of the imported geometry if there is one, if not create a plane. Make your sketch and cut it or add to it. You should be able to do this with any 3D solid modeling program. If its complex surfaces it depends on the situation and what you want to do. Feel free to upload an example with your specific question.
Very good point.
U cannot edit the features. This is the reason we use these formats mainly for sharing purpose to secure our own designs. But ofcourse you can add something to that. :)
If you have Inventor Fusion you can do some editing
In the above video I show you to edit "dumb" or rather imported files. The process is the same for virtully any file format. IronCAD is the king at this since it can generate editable features on-demand and not have to run through a whole "featureworks" approach that creates unruly parts. In addition it adds handles to each surface for easier editing as well as more geometric constraint editing ( like Spaceclaim promotes). That with direct face manipulation and the tradtional boolean approaches outlined in this post, IronCAD cannot be beat for ease and speed of editing "dumb" data. You can even assign parametrics to the dumb data if desired. So if you find you need this, I would strongly urge you to invest in IronCAD or the cheaper lighter version Inovate which does the same thing.
There are several tools supposed to do it:
Acc-u-Trans, Cadesis CADfeature, Geomagic Design X, TranscenData Proficiency, Theorem Solutions Cadverter.
But I haven't tried them.
If you really find it's true then let us know it.
Here is a video tutorial. It's useful. But only to parts.
My experience, it isn't so good in Assemblies, which include plate and body parts too. The program (I mean the featureworks function) unable to choose the right function that I get a right body or plate part.
I'll have to give that another try in SW2011 or 12. I used FeatureWorks in SW2008 and had little success with parts that had any complexity and simpler parts that it featured were easy enough to re-model. I just figured that it was another bells and whistle add-in used to boost sales but only work when all the planets were aligned just right or in a catchy demo video.

Funny Picture: Toyin, Sen Bukola Saraki's Wife Pictured With 5 Mobile Phones
Toyin, the wife of former governor of Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki, was pictured with five mobile phones in her hands.
There are about four major GSM operators in Nigeria, which are; Glo, MTN, Airtel and Etisalat. Most Nigerians go about with China made phones which usually comes with dual and triple SIMs slot. This happens as a result of poor services provided to mobile phone users, high call tarrifs, etc.
The question now is, is call tarrif rate also the reason Toyin Saraki carries five mobile phones about?

To get to the interim fix, fill in the following details :
- Product Group : Information Management
- Product : InfoSphere Warehouse
- Installed Version : 9.7.3
- Platform : All
Choose Browse for fixes
Then select the interim fix labelled : ISW-InterimFix-SQW_9.7.3.v20111019
The readme.txt that is included in the downloaded zip file contains the instructions for installing the fix.
If you are a current user of the 9.7.x release where x < 3, then you will likely require this interim fix once you upgrade to the 9.7.3 release.
APAR PJ39598 addresses a problem with two new features that were added to the 9.7.3 release.
Without this patch you may see SQW01101E codegen errors when generating your application.
You may also see validation errors that reference the optimizeBatch and sampleRate properties (there's an indication in the warning message that they are missing ).
If you migrate from 9.5.2 to 9.7.3 using this migration tool, you will not have this problem ( although you may still want the interim fix for other issues ). The APAR above only applies to flows created on earlier versions of the 9.7.x release.
This interim fix is a cumulative patch of fixes since the 9.7.3 release. If you have another interim fix with an earlier date, this includes those fixes as well and the interim fix can be installed on top of any of the previous 9.7.3 based interim fixes.
This interim fix only needs to be applied to your 9.7.3 clients running the Design Studio. While the interim fix does include patches for the Administration Console, if you are not encountering any of the other issues documented in the readme.txt, you do not need to update the Administration Console in order to resolve the APAR documented above.
Best regards,

"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." – Warren Buffet
Tree-planting is well to the fore as we approach Arbor Week (September 1-7). First of all, when selecting a tree, it is important to visualise the eventual size it is likely to reach, as well as its suitability for the site.
The water berry (Syzygium cordata), for instance, one of the three trees chosen for 2012, should not be planted close to water features or near boggy areas, such as in some parts of Betty's Bay, where it is likely to become invasive. Neither is this handsome evergreen useful as a shade tree, for it bears masses of edible fruits which litter the ground beneath. It does, however, make a good screening plant for a large garden. It is fast-growing, reaching a height of 20m, and its presence is indicative of a shallow water table.
The other two trees selected for 2012 are also water-lovers. They are the red beech (Protorhus longifolia), which grows to 10m, and the black mangrove (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza), which is smaller.
* Driving past a park near Kirstenbosch this month, I was charmed to see wide drifts of snowflake (Leucojum vernum) flowering beneath the trees.
The leucojum is often mistakenly called a snowdrop, instead of the galanthus – which does not do well here, preferring really cold weather. The leucojum, which is called the summer snowdrop in Britain, on the other hand, flowers here in winter and early spring.
* This is a good time for planting almost anything, and when doing so, it is useful to add an application of Kelpac, which is a plant growth stimulant produced from freshly harvested kelp seaweed. Used with a general fertiliser, this will give your plant a good start.
A dry form of Kelpac has been formulated recently, which makes application even easier. There are small pellets for lawns and slightly larger ones for garden beds and potted plants. Simply water in after application, which, for optimum results, should be carried out about four times a year.
"Plant-it" discs are also available. Put one or two of these into the hole, close to where the roots will be, before planting a shrub or tree, to boost its root development. Smaller discs are available for smaller plants. Kelpac is a completely natural product.
* The clivia is one of the most popular SA plants worldwide. A spectacular show of these can be seen during September at Babylonstoren farm in the Drakenstein Valley, between Franschhoek and Paarl.
There, over 9 000 flowers in shades of yellow, peach, orange and deep red bloom beside a meandering stream.
A shade tunnel has been planned to showcase Mick Dower's collection of potted clivias. Opening times are Wednesday-Sunday, 9am to 5pm. Entrance fee is R10.
