Enjoyable first
By Rick on Thursday, May 23, 2019This is my first Ranger. I had experience with a 2007 Tacoma, which I thought was a very smooth ride and idle vehicle (would forget it was on smooth idle). I traded my 2011 F150 because I wanted something a bit smaller yet capable. I got nearly the same capability and more. Initially it didn't seem to be that great of a ride and felt a little squirrelly. After getting it home and playing with all the buttons and features it was an easy fix. Once I adjust the settings to my preferences everything seemed smooth as crab dipping butter. I took it on a 100 mile drive to get a really good feel. At 70+ MPH I was easily getting over 26 MPG. The ride on good roads was as smooth as my Grandaddies 1977 Buick. It does feel a bit light in the tail with no cargo. I am stepping down from a 150 so I expect differences in feel. The power is effortless. I caught my speedometer sneaking up on me quickly more than once. The adaptive speed control and braking Assist features were far too sensitive for my liking. I was almost choked out when the Ranger decided to hard brake for a vehicle exiting the state road on the right side. So the braking sensors and systems work really well!! The highlight of the ride was getting everything adjusted to me and then enjoying the experience. I am 6'1", most of it torso, and I was able to easily adjust everything for a nice fit. Although a longer/larger center console would be nice for an armrest. The road noise inside the cabin was nearly non existent. It was just me and my music ripping down the road on a joyride. I haven't really jumped on the gas yet but I know once you are up to highway speeds it's very easy to keep climbing.

Awesome truck!
By Ron on Monday, April 01, 2019Was skeptical of the 4 cylinder until I drove it....270 horsepower, this thing will fly! The 10 speed transmission is incredible. I switched from a 2016 Tacoma and have no regrets. Ford should have been building this truck long ago! Only disappointment is that a sunroof wasn't available.

Very nice truck if you want to pay the price
By Agatehunter54 on Monday, February 18, 2019The 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat drives smoother than my 94 Ranger V6 did, with a lot more power. Highway ride is good, but a rougher road will give you a bumpier ride, though it is not that bad. The turbo engine and 10 speed transmission work great together. Acceleration is effortless and really gets going when punching the gas. I actually have to concentrate on not accelerating too fast. The start/stop feature of the engine when at a stop works well. There is a little shake when the engine starts again, but it's not bad. Most of the time, it is not noticeable. It can be turned off if it bothers you, but I prefer the better gas mileage. The interior is nice and comfortable. Even the backseat is tolerable. When adjusted for myself (5'10") as the driver, I can fit in the backseat with plenty of head room and tolerable knee space. Definitely better than the Tacoma. Interior storage is not the best, with a small but deep center armrest console (16.9 oz. water bottles can fit upright inside), a typical glovebox and 2 storage bins under the back seat. (For some rope or bungie cords, maybe tire chains, but not sure.) It would be nice to have larger bins. The open bin on the top of the dash would be much better with a lid. I can't see putting anything in it because of the reflection on the windshield and the heat of the sun. There are plenty of cup or bottle holders in the cab. The 2 console cup holders are not huge, but big enough. I'm not sure if a "Big Gulp" or a big coffee cup would fit. Button layout is ok once you get acquainted with them. Some of the controls are duplicated in the 8" touchscreen. The tech stuff is all good (Love that 8" screen), and the B&O sound system sounds great. Wi-Fi will cost a minimum of $60.00 a year after the free subscription expires. To get the accessories that you want, you are forced to take several items that you don't want, or leave something off, which is their way of upping the price you pay. The plastic bed liner is just ok, with the 6 low tie downs for tying cargo up covered with large rubber covers that are a pain. But it includes a 12 volt receptacle at the rear of the bed, so I'll deal with it. The tailgate drops heavily if let go, but it is made of aluminum, so it is a lot lighter to lift or let down. I never let it drop anyway and appreciate that it lifts so easily. The hood and front fenders are also made of aluminum. The safety suite of sensors are awesome. It's great to have them when parking in a parking lot or in the garage. Not sure of the gas mileage yet, as I'm on the first tank, but it's better than my 94 Ranger for sure. I spent more than I had planned, but it's all forgotten when I'm driving it.

As an academic career comes to a close, many students find themselves with a definite, "What's next?" mentality. More school, a real job or a year of travel are always options.
Not too many people put "Play professional soccer" on that list, but Garret Pettis has done just that.
This summer, the forward will join the Harrisburg City Islanders of the United Soccer League (USL). He'll return to Lipscomb next spring to student teach, but is ready to embark on a professional soccer career for the Islanders, who play 20 minutes from Pettis' hometown of Elizabethtown, Pa.
For the second year in a row, Lipscomb men's soccer will have a departing player go pro. Miguel DaSilva joined Santos FC in his native Angola after graduating from Lipscomb with a degree in International Business.
Pettis will see another former Bison in the USL. Ben Page, who graduated as Lipscomb's all-time leading scorer in 2008, plays for the Charlotte Eagles.
Lipscomb head coach Charles Morrow is happy that Pettis gets to take his talents to the next level.
"It's obviously well-deserved and a good indication of what he's achieved," Morrow said. "It's good for him professionally and makes us look good as a program. Obviously, we wish Garret the best."
Lipscomb Sports caught up with Pettis to discuss his try-out process, recent training and hopes for his future in soccer.
LS: Describe your experience at Harrisburg's training camp.
GP: It was a good week with very tough competition. There were 36 guys trying out for six or seven spots, so the competition was fierce. This was one of the last USL camps out there, so it was a last chance for some.
LS: What was the typical day like?
GP: We worked out twice a day. In the morning, we would have a technical session and play games to warm up. In the afternoon, it was full-field scrimmaging. The coaches were able to weed out some that hadn't stayed fit since the last season, but the level of competition was very high.
LS: Describe the skill and experience of the other players.
GP: Some were like me, graduating seniors looking to break in. Most were a year or two out of college. There were some that had been in MLS camps or had made the roster but got cut and were here looking for a place to play over the summer. So there was a good blend of youth and experience, but everyone had high ability.
LS: What had you done to prepare for the camp?
GP: I worked out and trained on my own a lot. I did a lot of running as well as strength and conditioning. Sometimes, I would get on the field with my Lipscomb teammates as well.
LS: Talk about the two scrimmage games.
GP: I started, played about 60 minutes and scored our first goal of the match against Long Island. The coaches completely changed the starting line-up the next game, so I didn't start and got only about 20 minutes of playing time but I expected that and was prepared for it. It felt really good to get that goal.
LS: You're from the area; did your family go to the scrimmages?
GP: Yes, they came to both. I'm excited to get an opportunity to play in front of them more often.
LS: What do you think impressed the Islander coaches about you?
GP: My ability to link up with our midfielders was a plus for me. Also, being a bit bigger allows me to hold the ball better and I think they liked that.
LS: So what's next for you?
GP: Once the semester ends, I'll head to Harrisburg to play for the Islanders. Next spring I'll return to Nashville to finish my student teaching. Until then, I'll work on being a soccer player.

In biofeedback, a highly researched technique for
reducing head and neck pain, high blood pressure, syndromes of
gastrointestinal discomfort, and anxiety, the primary technique is to
initiate and sustain the relaxation response. Research has indicated
that the physiological mechanisms that are triggered by inducing the
relaxation response are:
In mediation practice, in chanting and the use of mantras or in the process of visualization, the induction of the relaxation response precedes and accompanies the successful initiation of each technique. Most of the great spiritual traditions of both the east and west initiate the deeper levels of spiritual practice by eliciting the relaxation response. Dr. Benson himself, when in China to research some of the more fantastic aspects of Qigong, stated that he felt the Qigong effect was triggered by an initial induction of the relaxation response.
At the preliminary level of the self applied health enhancement
methods (SAHEM) very simplified but highly effective techniques of
progressive relaxation are used. In the more refined practices
elaborate systems of visualization may be used, as in the "circulation
of the light to refine the body of pure energy". Deep states of
altered consciousness may also be achieved by merely remaining mindful
of the breath alone. In such practices the individual has refined his
or her practice to the extent that the busy mind is quiet. Not
generally so easy. This is why we start with the preliminary methods
because they are easy to learn and apply. Over time they lead to an
ability level that supports more advanced practice.
It is a specific goal, in the self-applied health enhancement methods (SAHEM) of the ancient Asian traditions of health care and medicine to generate and circulate Qi, Prana, life force, bio-energy. In the breath practices above, and the following relaxation practices, a confirmation of success is to feel the Qi. It is very common to experience sensations of heat or tingling in the hands. It may also be sensed as a pouring feeling or a puffiness. The hands are the most sensitive organ or the human body in regards to sensation . It is not unusual that early sensation of the Qi would come in the hands. Once one has begun to have this sensation it should be sought in other parts of the body; the feet, the abdomen around the belly button.
Subsequent columns will include three versions of Progressive Relaxation:

Reaching Out to Communities of Color
The Hip Hop Caucus, an organization that encourages urban youth to become active in elections, policymaking and service projects, recently traveled more than 2,000 miles, through nine states, to promote clean energy.
The Hip Hop Caucus' Clean Energy Now! Bus Tour closed on the Capitol's steps after hosting events at churches, nightclubs, job training centers and five college campuses, including three historically black colleges and universities. Organizers distributed energy efficiency kits to attendees.
"The clean energy choices we make today will have a profound impact on the environment of our young people and communities of color—the very people this tour is bringing together and the voices we need to hear," said Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "We're going out and meeting people where they live, work and learn, to talk about how we create clean energy jobs, protect our planet and break our dependence on foreign oil."
The tour "helped amplify and unite the voices of young people, African Americans, the hip hop community and the faith community around the critical need for clean energy jobs now and a clean energy future for our country," said Caucus President Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr. "People around this country are hurting because our economy has failed them. Comprehensive clean energy policies will help our communities create a brighter future through solutions that will fight poverty and pollution at the same time."
Studies show comprehensive clean energy and climate policies could create up to 1.9 million new entry-level, professional and entrepreneurial jobs nationwide.
Such policies would also save households up to $1,175 per year by 2020 through investments in building insulation and other efficiency improvements, while also reducing medical bills and protecting communities from environmental threats.

Lake Matiri
Take in the spectacular sights of Lake Matiri, at the southern end of New Zealands 2nd largest National Park - Kahurangi
The Matiri Valley is at the southern end of the Kahurangi National Park and is accessed from S/H 6, about 6kms north of Murchison. The landforms around this area are spectacular as a result of landslides and lakes formed behind rubble dams following earthquakes in this region.
The carpark is at the roadend, about 16kms up the valley from there is takes 3 hrs to walk to the hut. However, if you have a 4WD, you can get as far as the West Branch of the Matiri River and the walk is only 1.5 hrs.
Check weather conditions before departure as you have to cross this river – yes, you start off with wet feet!
The walk takes you across farmland for a short distance before entering the forest. The track is good but can be wet at times, the gradient is not too strenuous – this could be described as a moderate walk.
Apart from the many beech species, there are also rata, kamahi, totara, broadleaf, neinei and mountain cedar.
The view of Lake Matiri from the Hut is delightful and it only takes a few minutes to walk down to the lake.
If the weather is nice and hot, a dip into one of the many streams that feed the lake is delightful. Several birds species nest around the lake. Enjoy a picnic lunch or a brew-up in the hut before heading back down the track.

As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alpha dog? It's this source of expression and personal comedy/tragedy that makes the game so compelling. There's nowhere to hide out there.
No site captures this feel more than the great Free Darko, which we read like a doctor's chart every day during the NBA season. They understand the dichotomy between individual achievement and collective glory, and how those are not mutually exclusive. And they've got a way with letters too.
Therefore, we've asked them to look at the arcs of certain players going into this season, what 2006-07 means to them, their teams and their legacies. They'll be previewing a player a day, up to tipoff next Tuesday.
Today: LeBron James. Your author is Dr. Lawyer IndianChief. His words are after the jump.
LeBron James entered "Stage 2" of the Jordan Narrative last year, as we watched him finally make the playoffs, actually win a series, give the Pistons a scare, and then exit. As the Pistons virtually imploded and as Mike Brown quietly outcoached Flip Saunders, many of LeBron's playoff late-game missed free throws and turnovers were swept under the rug. We let him momentarily shed the "un-clutch" tag that had shadowed him all season, and we all patted him on the back and gave each other high-fives. We were happy he made it, and we knew what was to come. Upon the end of the Pistons-Cavs series, Commissioner Stern turned to Lebron and said, "Son, next year is the year that again the Pistons eliminate you, bring you to tears, frustrating you to the point that you just can't take it any more ... and then you push even harder, winning the title in 2008 (of course once we arrange for Rashard Lewis to join you via sign-and-trade)." Nipping at his fingernails, LBJ nodded quietly.
Jordan Narrative and playoff intrigue aside, LeBron's numbers were the most impressive since MJ, and I have extreme difficulty in understanding how Nash was deemed more important to his team than Bronzino. [I seemed to be the only one not doling out praise to the moves Danny Ferry made last year. Um, does any part of Damon Jones, Larry Hughes and Donyell Marshall scream "championship" to you?]
LeBron James is not a businessman — "he's a business, man." From Sprite to Nike to Bubble Yum, 'Bron's face is ubiquitous. Apart from the mere marketing blitz, and in addition to establishing himself as a brand name a la Jordan, LBJames is positioning himself to become a one-man empire. MJ had traditional Joe Namath/Wilt Chamberlain aspirations of athlete coolness. Shaq went the entertainment route, going for juvenile Denzel-meets-Biggie status. Lebron, in an unprecedented manner, wants to be Donald Trump: surrounding himself with a personal business team (AKRON FAMILY), pioneeringly rejecting a maximum contract extension in favor for waiting for a new NBA Labor deal (so he can cash out even bigger), and publicly proclaiming his hopes to become the world's first billionaire athlete.
One has to wonder the degree to which these financial goals (in addition to the man's standard super-endorser workload), like Shaq and his ill-fated music and film attempts, are providing any sort of distraction to 'Bron's quest for his pre-destined Larry O'Brien blingometer. We famously remember (Del Harris playing the fall guy) Phil Jackson telling Shaq to abandon his Hollywood exploits in favor of focusing exclusively on winning a championship. Who will be around to get Bronzino's mind right? Everyone is tiptoeing around E.1999 Eternal so shook that 'Bron might flee Cleveland that nobody wants to say a word. 'Bron's grip on the league has grown too strong, too quickly. His power within the Cleveland organization ultimately undermines the authority of Mike Brown, the best young coach in The Association next to Skiles, which eventually will pose major problems for the team's championship aspirations. LeBron can't do it alone, and he can't do it with so much more on his mind than the game itself. As with Jeters and Mannings, the league marionette-masters will do everything in their power to assure LeBron gets is L.O'B. That LeBron seems all too aware of his destiny may provide some unforeseen roadblocks in his path.
Oddly enough, the solution to 'Bron's predicament is that he must use his power for further evil instead of faux-good. Instead of this hokey peace-keeping/"I like Larry Hughes and think he can be my Pippen" bullshucks, I would like to James stronghold the organization. Make them recognize that everyone from Daniel Gibson to Daniel Gilbert is an employee of LeBron James Enterprises. If 'Bron gets sick of Damon Jones yapping, chucking up shots and playing zero defense, he should force the team to trade Jones away. The next time Larry Hughes goes down with a pinky injury, LeBron should rip him to shreds. If 'Bron doesn't get 20 shots a game, he should throw a fit. The Cavaliers already cater to his every wish (for subtle examples, see: signing Drew Gooden, firing Paul Silas), so he might as well use his pull to get his team playing like dawgs. Also, it would give him a chance to wipe that creepy deliberate perma-smile off of his face.
Bronzino's mental state aside, one has to wonder whether his game can actually sustain its unmatched 2005-2006 level, or furthermore, if 'Bron's game is suited for winning a championship alongside a supporting cast that now rates below that of Miami, Detroit and even Chicago. No player in recent history has single-handedly dominated a playoff run from the small forward spot. One could argue that Larry Bird did exactly that, but even Bird was backed up by a hall-of-fame frontcourt. One has to worry that 'Bron's hybrid/Magic-at-the-3 position is not conducive to league domination, without being complimented by some serious co-stars (see: NOT Larry Hughes). Commissioner Stern's biggest fear should be that LeBron turns out to be nothing more than KG with a better developing three-point stroke, which at this point remains a possibility. The solution to this problem of plagued anti-positionality, which would ultimately solve the problem of Cleveland's PG situation as well, would be stick LBJ at the 1. That way, the Cavs, and the league itself get to see the ball in the hands of the man who already holds their future in his palms — and what a show he would run.

The stock market is poised to start the week much like it did the week before—waiting for politicians in Washington to agree on a plan that avoids a direct hit from the approaching fiscal cliff.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) ended last week up 15.9 points, or .12%, to 13,025. The S&P 500 Index (GSPC) gained 7 points last week, ending the weekly session at 1,416.

Retail investors are not panicking because "they are engaged…and staying informed about what's occurring," says Matt Billings, director of trading services at Scottrade, an online retail brokerage firm that also sponsors The Daily Ticker.
As of this weekend, budget talks were still at a stalemate. House Speaker John Boehner said Sunday that Republicans and the president were "nowhere" on a deal while Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner responded that "There's no reason why 98% of Americans have to see their taxes go up because some members of Congress on the Republican side want to block tax rate increases for 2% of the wealthiest Americans."
Billings says these budget issues have energized some active investors. The company's 2012 American Investor Study, based on both clients and non-clients of the firm, found that nearly a quarter of investors believe now is the best time to "get in some great deals."
The study also found that 54% of investors plan to invest additional money in the market. Active investors, defined as those who trade at least 50 times a year, were the most bullish. Seventy-four percent of them plan to invest more funds in the market and 22% plan to keep their investments at the same level. Overall, 71% of investors expect their 2012 portfolios, excluding real estate, to end the year higher compared to 2011.
As far as actual trading goes, Billings says activity picked up after Thanksgiving but overall trading in November was actually flat after rising in previous months. He also said there's been an uptick in demand for technology, telecom and consumer discretionary stocks.

Godaddy is a fly-by-night host. Shit support and downtime.
In the sources (http://repo-ck.com/PKG_source/linux-ck/) I can find all packages, but how can I compile them for specific CPU (in this case ivybridge) ? Is thre a flag in the files where I have to modify them or something?
I really need an old version, because as many users I am having this issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171736
Thank you

Any idea why libreoffice is crashing all the time with nehalem-ck kernel when i try to safe my document? the normal kernel works fine. And could it be that my kde problem (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171964) has something in common with that libreoffice problem? I am running stock kernel now and so far i had no kde-troubles either.
Not sure, please use this thread for issues relating only to the repo or packages in the future.
3.11.7 is a module breaker, at least for virtualbox. Graysky, would you mind recompiling the corresponding kernel modules in the repo?

Linux is like a wigwam: No Gates, no Windows and an Apache inside
Is it? The md5sums in /usr/lib/modules/3.11.x-1-ck/modules.symbols have not changed from 3.11.6-1 to 3.11.7-1[1] which I thought meant that the corresponding modules built against 3.11.6-1 would be fine with 3.11.7-1 as well. Odd. I'll rebuild now. Check back in 15-20 min.
1. http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/ … 176b07d5e7
EDIT: I need to look back to see when I built vbox modules (was it against 3.11.6-1 in other words).
EDIT2: It was absolutely built against 3.11.6-1 so I am confused; perhaps I am misunderstanding why one would calculate the checksum of /usr/lib/modules/3.11.x-1-ck/modules.symbols if not to inform whether or not a rebuild of corresponding modules is required.
EDIT3: Please do not reply to my open questions in this thread... I opened a new thread for that purpose. Thanks.

In my system all work ok, so I suspect the problem is from Harey side
Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?
As I said before, it's only the virtualbox module, it worked before and after the recompile it works again. Go figure. Thank you, Graysky.

I was getting "Failed to insert 'vboxnetadp': Invalid argument" before the rebuild, inserted fine after the rebuild. Thanks graysky.
Thanks for reporting. Calculating the checksum of modules.sysbols is an effective method for triggering rebuilds of external modules, but it is not 100 % effective[1], so just like the main ARCH packages, from time-to-time, users will have to report that the modules are broken for me to know (again, just like the ARCH packages occasionally need the same rebuild, just search flyspray and you'll find tickets like this).

Hey graysky, after spending some time on the vanilla side of Arch, I decided to give your repo another try.
But I don't even get to download linux-ck-sandybridge, instead I am greeted with this error message:
error: failed retrieving file 'linux-ck-sandybridge-3.11.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from repo-ck.com : Maximum file size exceeded
The rest (headers, nvidia) is downloaded successfully.
A quick search of the forums brought this up: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141001
@Sano- Odd... try `pacman -Syy` and then attempt the install. Building 3.11.8-1 now by the way. ETA 4-1/2 h for all packages.
It's working now, thank you graysky.
Hey graysky, is there ETA on ck 3.12?
and long time wanted to say: Thanks for all the effort!
Any idea why libreoffice is crashing all the time with nehalem-ck kernel when i try to safe my document? the normal kernel works fine. And could it be that my kde problem (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171964) has something in common with that libreoffice problem? I am running stock kernel now and so far i had no kde-troubles either.
If this is still needed the problem is not the kernel but KDE.
If you have kde integration for libreoffice make sure that you have "Use libreoffice dialogs" checked in settings -> general.
Hope that helps

@botika - I don't understand your post. Does 3.11.8-1-ck that you build from the AUR untouched (i.e. no tweaks to the PKGBUILD) boot?
I'm unable to update my system because it seems that nvidia-ck-sandybridge is out of date and depands on an old version of nvidia-utils. It expects version 325.15, but the current version in 331.20. Here's the output of 'pacman -Syu':
:: Starting full system upgrade...

@ripps - Yes, I had to modify a patch to work with 3.11.8 since 331.20 seems to be a 3.12 native. Try now.
now it's installed 3.11.8 of repo-ck ivybridge, but proved aur 3.11.2-8, pkbuild intacted; modify bfq option, local .config and modprobed_db at various forms, and repo-ck generic and ivybridge 3.11.2-8. Last version running is 3.11-1 repo-ck ivybridge. Sorry for my english. Thanks for your work

So is your problem solved?
3.11.8 AUR PKBUILD _1k_HZ_ticks=y, _NUMAdisable=y, _use_current=y, before install 3.12.1 kernel core repo. Boot perfectly but, after desinstaled broadcom-wl and recompile and install broadcom-wl-ck aur, module wl not run.

The recent spate of cattle rustling in some areas, which always increases with the price of cattle, underscores the value of making it harder for thieves to consider stealing from you.
At least one confessed cattle thief says things like brands, ear tags, and feeding away from the road make cattle less desirable targets. Interestingly he also said the presence of a sign stating the producer's affiliation with an organization that prosecutes crime is also a deterrent. In this case, he was referring specifically to signs posted by members of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA), an organization well known for its Special Rangers and attention to livestock crime.
TSCRA offers the following theft-prevention tips:
- Display TSCRA member sign (or other affiliation) on gates and entrances; it is an excellent deterrent.
- Lock gates.
- Brand cattle and horses; make sure the brand is recorded with the county clerk (or state brand office).
- Put driver's license number on all saddles, tack and equipment.
- Video horses and tack. Keep complete and accurate descriptions on file. Establish an organized, easy-to-find, proof-of-ownership file to save valuable time in recovery process.
- Count cattle regularly.
- Vary the time of feeding. Don't establish a routine. Be cautious in giving out keys and combinations.
- Park trailers and equipment out of view from the roadway.
- Keep tack rooms and saddle compartments on trailers locked.
- Don't feed in pens.
- Participate in neighborhood Crime Watch programs.
- Don't build pens close to a roadway.
- Never leave keys in tractors or other equipment.

"12 Years a Slave" and "Gravity" became the best picture front-runners after flooring audiences at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, and little has changed in the ensuing weeks. Naturally, then, given their estimable craft, both movies are also leading the way in the director and cinematographer races. The key category to watch: original screenplay. If "Gravity's" outer-space tale of spiritual rebirth can land a nomination in that competitive group, it will signal the movie has the kind of broad appeal needed to carry it to a best picture win.
Here's how the races for director, cinematography and original and adapted screenplay are shaping up on the eve of the L.A. unveiling of the season's final puzzle piece, Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Alfonso Cuarón, "Gravity"
Steve McQueen, "12 Years a Slave"
Paul Greengrass, "Captain Phillips"
Alexander Payne, "Nebraska"
David O. Russell, "American Hustle"
Prime contenders: Spike Jonze, "Her"; Joel and Ethan Coen, "Inside Llewyn Davis"; John Lee Hancock, "Saving Mr. Banks"
Bubbling under: Asghar Farhadi, "The Past"; Woody Allen, "Blue Jasmine"; J.C. Chandor, "All Is Lost"; Lee Daniels, "Lee Daniels' The Butler"
Not yet seen: Martin Scorsese, "The Wolf of Wall Street"
For your consideration: Robert Redford grabbed the headlines for his mesmerizing solo turn in "All Is Lost," but the film also confirmed that J.C. Chandor's excellent debut, "Margin Call," was no fluke. Here, Chandor has crafted a simple, elegant story filled with unforgettable images, unbelievable tension and a career-best performance from its star. Rightfully, that should earn Chandor a nomination.
Analysis: Look for the academy to spread the wealth when it hands out the Oscars for picture and director next year. Best early guess: "12 Years" wins picture, with Cuarón taking director honors. Greengrass is likely to join Cuarón and McQueen as nominees here, leaving two spots open. Two-time nominees Payne and Russell stand a good chance to score a hat trick. But if the ambitious "Wolf" dazzles, seven-time nominee Scorsese could knock one of them out of the race.
VIDEO: Highlights from the Envelope Screening Series
Joel and Ethan Coen, "Inside Llewyn Davis"
Woody Allen, "Blue Jasmine"
Bob Nelson, "Nebraska"
Spike Jonze, "Her"
David O. Russell and Eric Warren Singer, "American Hustle"
Prime contenders: Alfonso and Jonás Cuarón, "Gravity"; Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith, "Saving Mr. Banks"; Ryan Coogler, "Fruitvale Station"; Nicole Holofcener, "Enough Said"
Bubbling under: Asghar Farhadi, "The Past"; Peter Morgan, "Rush"; Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack, "Dallas Buyers Club"; Danny Strong, "Lee Daniels' The Butler"; Jeff Nichols, "Mud"
For your consideration: Nichols won comparisons to Mark Twain for his earthy adventure tale "Mud," which, to many writers, would be a higher accolade than an Oscar nomination. It's his best work, a striking tall tale exploring the tangible concerns of love, honor and trust.
Analysis: Voters have a good many choices here and could go in any number of directions. Allen and the Coens, perennial nominees, seem safe. Nelson's brilliantly constructed "Nebraska" should make it in as well. Then it will depend if writers branch balloters like their emotional payoffs teary ("Banks," "Fruitvale"), triumphant ("Gravity"), warm ("Enough Said") or weirdly affecting ("Her"). They all have considerable merit.
TIMELINE: The Academy Awards through the years
John Ridley, "12 Years a Slave"
Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, "Before Midnight"
Tracy Letts, "August: Osage County"
Billy Ray, "Captain Phillips"
Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope, "Philomena"
Prime contenders: Steve Conrad, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"; Peter Berg, "Lone Survivor"
Bubbling under: Abdellatif Kechiche, "Blue Is the Warmest Color"; Jason Reitman, "Labor Day"; William Nicholson, "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom"
Not yet seen: Terence Winter, "The Wolf of Wall Street"
For your consideration: Destin Cretton, "Short Term 12." Setting a movie in a foster home for at-risk kids puts you on a collision course with cliché, but Crettin's first feature, which he adapted from his own Sundance prize-winning short film, is a wonder of authenticity and emotional intricracy. It's inspirational storytelling delivered in the best possible manner, earning its hope through characters and conflicts that have the ring of truth.
Analysis: This category isn't nearly as deep as its original screenplay counterpart with probably only the final slot up for grabs between "Philomena" and "Wolf." Winter has won four Emmys for his work on "The Sopranos" (two for writing, two as an executive producer), and if his take on corporate crime pops with the same pizazz and detail as his work on that HBO series, he could land his first Oscar nod.
INTERACTIVE: Best and worst Oscar moments since 2008
Emmanuel Lubezki, "Gravity"
Sean Bobbitt, "12 Years a Slave"
Barry Ackroyd, "Captain Phillips"
Bruno Delbonnel, "Inside Llewyn Davis"
Anthony Dod Mantle, "Rush"
Prime contenders: Roger Deakins, "Prisoners"; Phedon Papamichael, "Nebraska"; Stuart Dryburgh, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"
Bubbling under: Frank G. DeMarco, "All Is Lost"; Hoyte Van Hoytema, "Her"; John Schwartzman, "Saving Mr. Banks"; Simon Duggan, "The Great Gatsby"; Philippe Le Sourd, "The Grandmaster"; Linus Sandgren, "American Hustle"
Not yet seen: Rodrigo Prieto, "The Wolf of Wall Street"
For your consideration: Papamichael worked with Alexander Payne on "Sideways" and "The Descendants." With "Nebraska," they moved into new territory, shooting for the first time in black and white, widescreen and digital. The results — those broad, wintry horizons, peaceful cloudscapes and austere, almost abandoned small towns — possess a bleak beauty that never calls attention to itself. But that doesn't mean the academy can't recognize it. Papamichael has more than earned his first Oscar nomination.
Analysis: Having predicted Oscar wins for Lubezki before — he has been nominated five times, most recently for "The Tree of Life" and "Children of Men" — we're not going to jinx him just yet. Let's just say he and Bobbitt and Ackroyd should win nominations with the remaining two spots likely going to cinematographers who have been to the dance before — Delbonnel, Dod Michael, Dryburgh and Deakins — though strong cases can be made too for Van Hoytema and Papamichael to win their first nods.

A shrimp? A shrimp? You talkin' to me?
Tread lightly around the mantis peacock shrimp. Up to 7 inches long, this crustacean sports gregarious colors – and an extraordinarily powerful, resilient club for whacking its prey.
Now, a team of scientists has uncovered the secrets of the club's construction, unrolling a blueprint that holds the promise of a new generation of lightweight, impact- and shock-resistant materials for products ranging from body armor and electric cars to football helmets that better shield players from head injuries.
Indeed, the researchers already have designed composite materials based on the club's natural design that have successfully withstood several types of high-velocity munitions, says David Kisailus, an assistant professor of engineering at the University of California at Riverside, who along with colleagues from six other institutions conducted the study.
The peacock mantis shrimp feeds on some of the hardest nuts to crack in the ocean – snails, other crustaceans, as well as other forms of shellfish. It does so by unleashing its club repeatedly at unusually high speeds until the shells of its prey crack open enough to expose the shrimp's meal.
How it does this is crucial to understanding the enormous stresses it is able sustain.
Like a praying mantis, the shrimp have a folded appendage near their heads. The appendage resembles a football punter's tightly draw leg just before he unleashes the kick. The appendage has a latch that locks the joint until a muscle in the upper portion of the appendage has fully contracted. When the shrimp releases the latch, it unleashes the pent-up energy in the muscle, flinging the appendage outward, explains Shelia Patek, a biologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who uncovered a spring-like material at the joint that further energizes the strike.
Dr. Patek and fellow researchers have clocked the shrimp's punt at more than 45 miles an hour – underwater. That makes it the new world champ for so-called feeding strikes – the movement animals make to nail their prey. It's nearly twice as fast as a punch a boxer typically throws in open air and delivers a force of more than 200 pounds, with the club accelerating with a force of some 10,000 Gs – 500 times more acceleration force than humans can endure.
And that isn't all. Patek's team also found that the strike imparted a second rattling impulse to a creature's shell that came quickly on the heels of the first strike. When the researchers examined high-speed video, they saw a brief flash of light at the point of contact – the telltale signs of cavitation.
Cavitation is a destructive process marine engineers know well. In this case, the club is moving so fast that it creates an area of intense low pressure between the club tip and the object it's striking. The water there literally vaporizes, forming a bubble that quickly collapses, generating sound, light, heat, and its own impact with a force comparable to the impact from the shrimp's club.
When Dr. Kisailus was hunting for natural materials that could help humans engineer better materials, he and colleague James Weaver, now with Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, came across the research.
"We're, like, wow!" recalls Dr. Kisailus.
So the team went to work analyzing the club's structure and composition. The results appear in the June 8 issue of the journal Science.
One surprising discovery was that the club is not one uniform unit but is composed of three regions, Kisailus says.
The business end of the club, which bears the brunt of the impact, held surprises of its own. It consists of layers made from the same mineral found in human bones – hydroxyapatite.
The layers resist up to twice as much compression as some of the best industrial ceramics today, Kisailus says. The industrial ceramics are made at temperatures of 1,500 degrees Celsius, while the shrimp's club tip forms essentially at room temperature.
"That's impressive," he says.
Behind the club's tip is another region, consisting of fibers made from complex sugars. The fiber is known as chitin, and it's arranged in stacked layers, with each offsetting slightly from the layer below. Spaces in between layers are filled with calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.
The layer can crack, but the construction makes it extremely difficult for the crack to propagate through the region, meaning it "absorbs a lot of energy" without failing, Kisailus says. In fact, the arrangement is so intricate, and the potential pathways for cracking so labyrinth-like, that a crack literally would have to travel for miles to traverse the region, he says.
The final region consists of chitin fibers that wrap around the club, much like a boxer tapes his hands. When the shrimp's club strikes a shell, the club tip not only compresses, it also tries to spread laterally. The fiber wrapping prevents this, keeping any crack that forms from growing wider.
The marvel, Kisailus says, is nature's engineering approach.
Human engineers tend to design materials that are so strong that they resist breaking, he says, "but when they do break, they fail catastrophically. "Nature makes things so that they can break, but they are not going to break catastrophically."

Emulex Safe Harbor Statement
"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above include forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Emulex wishes to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include among others, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require Emulex to indemnify customers, or require Emulex to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, Emulex has in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. Emulex cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If Emulex were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, Emulex's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom"), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Emulex's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, risk of loss of patent rights and/or monetary damages, risk of injunction against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the availability of an adequate sunset period of time to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes) modules and the ability to obtain a settlement that does not put Emulex at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. The current economic downturn and the resulting disruptions in world credit and equity markets that are creating economic uncertainty for Emulex's customers and the storage networking market as a whole has, and could, continue to adversely affect Emulex's revenues and results of operations. Furthermore, the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire Emulex may have an adverse effect on Emulex's operations. As a result of these uncertainties, Emulex is unable to predict its future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: faster than anticipated decline in the storage networking market; slower than expected growth of the storage networking market or the failure of Emulex's Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate Emulex products into their systems; Emulex's dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of Emulex products or Emulex OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the storage technology market; the variability in the level of Emulex's backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of Emulex's customers; any inadequacy of Emulex's intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities; natural disasters, such as the earthquake and resulting tsunami off the coast of Japan in March 2011 and the significant flooding in various parts of Thailand in October 2011, and any resulting disruption in Emulex's supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for Emulex products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in Emulex's business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; possible transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of Emulex products; delays in product development; Emulex's reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; Emulex's ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; Emulex's ability to benefit from research and development activities; Emulex's dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and the potential effects of global warming and any resulting regulatory changes on Emulex's business. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are also discussed in Emulex's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its recent filings on Forms 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q. Statements in this release are based on current expectations and, except as required by law, Emulex undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

School health and education: an interdisciplinary connection
Olga N. Makhubela-NkondoI, II
ICollege of Human Sciences, University of South Africa, South Africa
IIDENOSA First Vice-President
For South Africa, the continent and the world as a whole, formal health literacy begins at school. Higher Education in South Africa is challenged to take heed of the World Health Organization's (WHO) (1996) definition of school health. For the WHO, school health is not merely hygiene, health promotion, health literacy or health education but a 'combination of services ensuring the physical, mental and social well-being of learners so as to maximize their learning capabilities'. The WHO Expert Committee on School Health asserts that school health can advance public health, education, social and economic development, and that the global expansion of school health attests to the value placed internationally on such programmes (WHO 1996).
Do our curricula match the description of WHO's school health system? If not, what reforms are in place to ensure that our academic offerings are coherent and compliant? Knowledge of health and provision of appropriate health services during school years will guarantee investment in preventative health care.
The University of South Africa held a two-day conference from 26 July 2012 to 27 July 2012. Providing the policy context in his keynote address, the Minister of Health Dr. Motsoaledi reiterated his vision of the Integrated School Health Policy to curtail widespread poverty-related infectious diseases, malnutrition and remove the barriers to optimal health and development faced by many children. The Minister also recognised that violence and injuries constitute a further cause of premature deaths and disability, and that a growing burden of non-communicable diseases is also evident.
The thought provoking conference theme engaged multidisciplinary delegates from South Africa and other parts of the world, with the latter participating through the use of streaming video. The international speakers participating were from Cornell University and North-eastern University. Local delegates represented the Departments of Health, Basic Education, Social Development, Women, Children and People with Disabilities, universities and schools. Nurses, social workers, nutritionists, dentists, oral hygienists, optometrists, psychologists, educators, school managers, school governing bodies, pupils and parents also participated.
Derived from the reengineering of the primary health care system, it is heartening to visualise an integrated and functional school health system. Ultimately, it is the right of every schoolchild, irrespective of his or her background to be healthy, well fed and protected. School health is an excellent investment, as it will curtail dropout rates, crime and teenage pregnancy, amongst other social and health problems. Delegates reflected that schooling and health are complementary and inseparable and that the schoolchild must be at the centre of the two government priorities: health and education. Children must continuously inhabit an environment free from disease or adversity.
School health is a public health remedy. School children also face social and other challenges and school health teams are responsible for making quality health care accessible to all children, irrespective of their backgrounds. Besides reinforcing preventive programmes, school health teams must constantly watch for specific warning signs. A child will manifest with physical characteristics that are not compliant with normal development or health history. Symptoms inconsistent with a child's developmental level may be signs of abuse. Taking note of physical evidence of neglect is essential. In addition, be aware of exaggerated or absent emotional responses, excessive delay in seeking treatment and the absence of parents for questioning. Furthermore, be attentive to a child's report of physical or sexual abuse or repeated visits to emergency facilities (Wong, Hockenberry-Eaton & Wilson 1999:763).
Urging delegates to take action, Prof. Moeketsi, the Executive Dean of the College of Human Sciences, said:
'Our humaneness is thus being revived and we are challenged to come out of our constraining offices, forge ties with our communities and together reverse the vicious cycle of disease, morbidity and poor performance amongst school children'. (Moeketsi 2012)
Delegates concurred, blending education and health should shape healthier and more academically successful learners.
The higher education sector is also challenged to provide academic offerings to enhance functional school health systems where all schoolchildren will thrive, irrespective of their background. Children's chances and their potential for optimal health and academic excellence depend on a broad-scale intervention strategy as articulated in the integrated school health policy. Prevention of alcohol abuse, illicit substances and drug misuse, and anti-smoking campaigns for school children were deemed equally important so that: 'eventually when children enter university they would still be HIV free, never having smoked nor abused alcohol nor any other illicit substances' (Motsoaledi 2012).
The conference indeed served as a vehicle to hone knowledge and skills for the schoolchild's future. It called for community involvement with societal action involving parents, nurses and school advocates to disseminate accurate, up-to-date health information in collaboration with other diverse (multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary) practitioners.

Virtualizing Managed Services
Although most service providers have turned their attention towards services for the consumer, Managed Services for both Commercial and Enterprise business customers will continue to be a major growth opportunity for the service provider community. This opportunity will drive the vendors of commercial and enterprise products to look to the SP channel to scale the sales of their products, but will also require them to accommodate the operational needs of the service providers. These basic needs include zero/low touch deployment capabilities and common interfaces using standard protocols to monitor and troubleshoot HW and SW once it's deployed. Over the next several years, in order to greatly decrease the operational burden of managed services, there will also be a push to virtualize them. This will also allow service providers to easily add incremental capacity in order to meet increasing customer demand. It will also allow for much higher availability as services lost in one environment can quickly be reestablished by seamlessly moving the customers to another network resource that has the capacity to support them.This layer of complexity in the service provider network will require an even greater focus on software as virtualized services are delivered on common hardware running LINUX and are interconnected via a "services bus." The creation and management of this services bus across networks with global diameters will be a huge challenge to traditional service providers who are comfortable with the paradigm of one interface/piece of hardware per customer. This is why the service provider vendor community must focus on building a common, scalable framework for rapid service enablement within the network infrastructure. This framework must not only provide services that blindly ride the bandwidth provided by the network, but must also take advantage of unique network capabilities such as application awareness and optimization in order to ensure the services delivered by the service provider are of extremely high quality. The layering of these types of services – application awareness on top of VPNs, for example – will greatly reduce end user churn and increase the average revenue per user (ARPU).

You see Broccoli is <I'm assuming> friendly with the TBS broadcasting company.
The "Hige-bu" or facial hair club is a reference to Sexy commando and the club all the main characters are in during the duration of the show.
Now Digi charat(TV) the first series was a short five minute show or so, just as Sexy Commando was(Technically it ran nine minutes but don't crucify me over details). To fill a time slot TBS lumped them together in a anime shorts block called [Wonderful] http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...me.php?id=4293
Even though J.C. Staff is doing the animation, broccoli is of course working in the background and having some fun.
So this is just a playful jab at some anime time slot buddies.
...Or I could just be full of it.
But it'd be nice to hear that my assumptions and logic aren't that flawed everyday.
Hahah, as a side note. When she's going to her club, the drawings on the door look a lot like the short and random "Ukelele Lessons" on sexy commando.
So...wait, if the Hige-bu is there...that would mean she goes to Wakame Highschool...

Winter Garden, saw it and liked it Grown-up Dejiko and light-hearted romance seems to mix very well together despite her rather silly background from her much younger years.

In some ways, she's the same old Dejiko, in many ways, she's different and matured.
As for Winter Garden, I wasn't expecting anything. Once I started watching, it had that light-hearted funny yet romantic feeling to it, and that's what drew me in.

winter garden is ok. puchiko is perfect.. and it has better backgrounds.
but i wonder what happened to the planet di gi charat, to the fingers, to pyoko... to the planet analogue, to puchiko and dejiko's tails, ears and mekarabeams. they look completely human now.
they're just 2 episodes right? i think di gi charat's creator (or something) just wanted to know how would a 10-years-later story turn out. i hope they don't go any further with it.......

So Puchiko draws manga in Di Gi Charat as well? (just to be on the right track)
I was thinking about the girl as well. I wonder what their relationship is. He doesn't seem really bothered about engaging in another relationship. Perhaps she is his sister, cousin or something like that...

Yah, the 4-koma's drawn by Puchiko were credited to be drawn by Koge Donbo, the character designer of Digi Charat.
Episode 2 coming soon, but the encoder's gone for 2 days, so a slight delay is expected.

Yellen debut: Dull with dash of folksy
Janet Yellen was boring. And that's exactly what she wanted to be.
The newly installed Federal Reserve chair, in her first big policy meeting and news conference, gently nudged the central bank away from its extraordinary easy-money policies and toward a more normal footing in a way that only mildly upset markets, which sank a bit on the slightly more hawkish tone.
Story Continued Below
Yellen, the first female chair in the Fed's history, will also probably avoid much partisan criticism from either side following a performance in which she expertly wrapped some fairly significant policy changes in the kind of soothingly gauzy language that is the hallmark of successful central bankers.
( Also on POLITICO: Yellen says the buck stops with her)
Indeed, Yellen's deep experience as Fed vice chair and president of the San Francisco Fed showed up in a performance in which she was by turns wonky, folksy and forceful about her views on the economy. She said she felt the "weight" of leading the world's most important central bank and plans to do the job in much the same way as her predecessor, Ben Bernanke.
"He had a very good agenda and it's one I shared," she said.
There were no huge gaffes (maybe a little one). There were no shocking policy changes. But there were a few new conversational phrases thrown in the mix.
What follows are the top takeaways from the Fed chair's first big performance.
Yellen is no super dove
Some Republicans and moderate Democrats feared that Yellen, who beat out former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers for the Fed chair job, would err heavily on the side of bringing down the long-term jobless rate even if that meant risking higher inflation.
That's not happening.
( Also on POLITICO: Yellen meets the press)
Yellen and the Fed's policy-setting panel — the Federal Open Market Committee — said economic weakness so far this year was at least in part the result of the brutal winter and that things should improve in the spring. "Unusually harsh weather in January and February has made assessing the underlying strength of the economy especially challenging," Yellen said while seated behind a desk at the start of her news conference at the Fed's imposing headquarters in Washington.
Yellen and the Fed continued the so-called taper, reducing its monthly asset purchases by a further $10 billion to $55 billion and keeping the central bank on a course set by Bernanke to get out of the bond-buying business by the end of the year. Barring some shock, the Fed will keep cutting back purchases at each FOMC meeting. That should please Republican populists such as Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul who regularly beat up on the Fed for "printing money" and allegedly devaluing the dollar.
But Yellen had something for Democrats as well who want the central bank to keep juicing the economy as much as possible through the midterm elections this fall. The Fed has previously said that the magic number for when it might begin to consider raising short-term interest rates is when unemployment hits 6.5 percent. But with that number within reach — it currently stands at 6.7 percent — Yellen and the Fed simply dropped using the target as an indicator, instead referring to more vague "labor market conditions."
( QUIZ: Do you know Janet Yellen?)
Yellen made clear interest rate policy would stay easy well into next year, if not 2016. Economic projections released by the Fed show the central bank coalescing around 2015 as the time it might start lifting its benchmark from the rock-bottom level where it's been since 2008.
She's also not perfect
Yellen did cause a bit of anxiety on Wall Street at one point when she was asked to be more specific on when the Fed might start hiking rates after it winds down its bond-buying by the end of the year.
In its statement, the Fed said it would keep rates low for a "considerable period" after the end of asset purchases.
Asked what a "considerable period" was, Yellen suggested it was "hard to define" but "probably means something on the order of around a six-month period or so." That's quite a bit more specific than many expected. Fed chairs tend not to want to commit themselves to any kind of timetable for action.
"The 'six months' reference to timing on rate increases was a mistake," said John Makin, an economist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. "It is a break from 'conditionality' that emphasize dependence on economic data — as the minutes do. She tried to qualify but I think her eagerness to please hawks and the press got the better of her."
( Also on POLITICO: Full finance policy coverage)
Still, Makin and others gave Yellen high marks on her first news conference. "It was surprising but I don't place much weight on it," Pantheon Macroeconomics' Ian Shepherdson said of the "six-month" comment. "I guess the pressure of the occasion got to her. Otherwise her performance was solid, she did her best to make the dove case, having been dealt a poor hand by her colleagues, nudging up their rate forecasts."
Stocks quickly sold off following the "six-month" comment but recovered later as investors got more comfortable that the remark was hardly a firm policy commitment and was not really out of line with what the FOMC said in its consensus projections. It also happens to be exactly the consensus among Wall Street analysts for when the Fed will start bumping up rates.
After the initial sell-off, the Dow closed off less than 1 percent. And the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose less than 1 percent to 2.772, hardly big moves at all. Yellen is clearly moving the Fed gently toward a tighter policy, and she and the rest of the FOMC must be pleased that Wall Street took it in stride.

WASHINGTON - The White House is nearing a decision on splitting up the eavesdropping National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, which conducts cyberwarfare. The idea was prompted in part by revelations of the NSA's widespread snooping, sources said yesterday.
WASHINGTON � The White House is nearing a decision on splitting up the eavesdropping National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, which conducts cyberwarfare. The idea was prompted in part by revelations of the NSA�s widespread snooping, sources said yesterday.
As part of the emerging plan, the NSA likely would get a civilian director for the first time in its 61-year history, the individuals said.
Both agencies now are headed by the same person, Army Gen. Keith Alexander, who is retiring in March as NSA�s longest-serving director.
While Alexander is highly regarded in the intelligence community, critics have questioned the current arrangement. They say it concentrates too much power in one individual and that the two agencies have different missions.
The NSA monitors phone, email and other communications for national-security threats.
Cyber Command defends Pentagon and other U.S. computer networks, infiltrates adversary networks and conducts offensive cyberwarfare.
Two administration officials confirmed that the discussions about the split are nearing a critical stage.
White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said President Barack Obama has not made a final decision.
�With Gen. Alexander�s planned departure next spring, this is a natural point to look at this question to ensure we are appropriately postured to address current and future security needs,� Hayden said.
But one official said that it is possible a decision could come soon and could even be made public simultaneously with the results of White House reviews of NSA activities prompted by disclosures by former contractor Edward Snowden.
An unclassified version of one of two reviews, conducted by a group of outside experts, is tentatively due to be released in mid-December.
Snowden gave media organizations highly classified documents describing electronic snooping by the agency and its British counterpart, Government Communications Headquarters GCHQ, that was far more extensive than previously known. He is in Russia, which granted him temporary asylum.

Formerly, in wide of ocean,there was a fight between a shark called Sura and a crocodile called Baya. They quarreled just because of scrambling for prey. Both of them were strong,skilful, clever, ferocious, and gluttonous. They had quarreled many times, but no one had won or failed. Finally, they made an agreement.
"I tired of this continuous quarrel, Baya," said Sura. "I did so. What we have to do to stop our fight?" asked Baya. Sura, who had owned plan to discontinue their fight, immediately explained, "To stop our fight, we better divide the authority territory into two areas. Me, as the ruler of underwater, and I must prey on the prowl just in water area. While you as the ruler of continent and you have to look for your prowl in continent. As boundary between water and continent is place reached by water when ebb!"
"Okey, I agree with your idea!" said Baya. Because of the division of authority territory, there was no fight again between Sura and Baya. Both have agreed in honor of each region. But at one particular day, Sura looked for his prowl in the river. He did it stealthy so that Baya didn't know. But one day, Baya found this unexpectedly deed. Of course Baya was very angry knowing Sura impinge his promise.
"Hey Sura, why do you impinge regulation we have agree on? How dare you entered river which representing my authority region?" asked Baya. Sura, who felt guilty, answered, "I impinge agreement? This river has water, isn't it? And I have spelled out members that my territory is in the water, right? So, this river is my authority region."
"What? That river is located in continent, while your area is sea. Mean, that river is my region!" Baya insist. "It can't be like that! I have never told if 'water' only sea water. I think an irrigate river is also 'water'," answered Sura. "Do you intend to ask for trouble, Sura?" asked Baya.
"No, I think my reason is strong enough and I'm sure that I'm in the correct side!" said Sura. "You intend to angle me. I'm not as stupid as you predict!" said Baya start to fulminate. "I don't care you bright or stupid. The important is river water and sea water are my authority!" Sura didn't willing to fail. "If so, you mean to lie me, don't you?! Thereby, our agreement is cancelled! The most powerful one will become single author," said Baya. "Quarrel again? I'm not scared of you!" challenge Sura egotisticly. Than, a hard duel between Sura and Baya started again. This contention progressively awful and exclaim each other. They were pouncing, nipping, beating, and dashing against each other. During split second, water around them became squeezed by secretory blood of bodily injury from both of them. They continued until scrap furiosly without rest at all. In this awful contention, Baya got a bite on the right of his tail. Hereinafter, his tail always stiff to left side. Whereas Sura's tail also nipped till almost break. Then Sura back to the ocean. This contention very impress society of Surabaya.

Ukraine on Thursday accused Russia of invading the country, dashing hopes of progress toward a diplomatic resolution and challenging the West to respond.
A senior official of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said that more than 1,000 Russian troops were fighting alongside pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, by far the largest such force ever reported by the Western alliance. But he stopped short of calling it an invasion, saying it represented an "incursion" apparently aimed at preventing Kiev's forces from defeating pro-Russian rebels, rather than a broader assault on Ukraine.
Kiev said Russian forces have seized the coastal town of Novoazovsk and several villages near the border with Russia. Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko called an emergency meeting with his security chiefs over what he said was "the introduction of Russian forces into Ukraine."
"Columns of heavy armor, a large quantity of arms, and troops of Russian regular army units crossed through a part of the border not under control," Poroshenko said, according to a statement on his website.
But he called for Ukrainians to remain calm. "The situation is of course extraordinarily difficult…but it is controllable, controllable enough that we must not give in to panic," he said. "We are able to defend ourselves."
