By Eva Wu, KF9 Philippines
The world has been abuzz with Monday's news of the election "massacre" in Maguindanao, Mindanao. About 50 lawyers, journalists and relatives of local politicians were abducted and brutally killed because of their affiliation with an opposition politician. This horrific event is being followed closely by the international media, including the New York Times and CNN, because it made Monday "the deadliest single day for journalists anywhere in the world" and was also "the worst politically motivated violence in the Philippines' recent history." The U.S. Embassy in Manila issued a travel alert on Wednesday as a result, because of "heightened tensions" and "significant military presence" in Maguindanao.
Ironically, while news of the Monday killings shocked the world, it hasn't physically affected people here in Northern Mindanao quite as much as another news event which, in contrast, made just a small blip among international media outlets – tropical depression Urduja, which hit the area on Tuesday and caused flooding and landslides in Northern Mindanao. (Incidentally, no U.S. Embassy alert on the tropical storm thus far. Not one that I've received, anyways.)
To be honest, after the initial shock and sadness of hearing about the Monday massacre, I shrugged and went about as usual. The murders happened relatively far away, and I've always felt pretty safe in Northern Mindanao despite the fact that there's been a travel alert against U.S. citizens traveling to Mindanao for years. Ongoing conflict between the Philippines Government and Islamic militant groups such as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and Abu Sayyaf have resulted in sporadic clashes and kidnappings. (Having a very cursory understanding of this ongoing conflict, I was fascinated when I first learned that HSPFI, a Christian MFI, also serves Muslim clients. Unfortunately visiting those clients are largely off the table for me as a Kiva Fellow because of the safety concerns in those areas.)
The Monday killings however were NOT instigated by Islamic insurgents, but was instead (per the New York Times) "rooted in rivalries among local clans that the government had empowered as a way of combating the insurgents." Sadly, news of violence between political clans aren't new here. While the news was shocking, nobody seemed to be really surprised. People tell me that widespread corruption that occurs here, on all levels of society and government. Slip the cop a few hundred pesos to get out of paying a couple thousand pesos for a traffic ticket. Haggling over taxes on large businesses is an art form to be perfected. Local politicians who are in power aren't individuals, they're family. That's just the way it is. It happens all the time here.
It happens all the time here. Just like natural disasters happen all the time here. Mindanao was lucky to be spared from the typhoons that hit Luzon/Manila in October, but that doesn't mean that people here are immune to the whims of nature. I've met HSPFI clients who were affected by flooding this past January. Ms. Gilda Campeña stood in front of her lush garden and thanked Kiva lenders for her loan as my HSPFI colleagues told me that she had to rebuild her garden after it was destroyed by the January flood. How long did that take? Is she ok right now? Are all of the other HSPFI/Kiva borrowers ok? On the way to visit clients in certain villages I've passed treacherously bare sandy cliffs, that looked like they can swallow up the nearby landscape with the slightest provocation of rain. As other Kiva Fellows have shared, borrowers are vulnerable, and they're often just one random event away from falling into additional hardships. Thoughts like this drove the election killings out of my mind and made me feel sick with worry.
With the worry came some anger as well. This was just a tropical depression. I've gone through many tropical storm landfalls without a thought or worry about after damage. How much could the damage from this storm have been avoided? Granted I lived out those tropical storms in developed countries, with good infrastructure that could channel storm flow and limit the damage. Maybe this is too much to expect from the government of a developing country though. Corruption, financing of political clans, power, violence. How high is providing good infrastructure on that list?
My HSPFI colleagues told me that the various branches are checking in with clients now and surveying the amount of damage that's been caused by the storm. At least three branches were hit by Urduja. Hopefully everyone is ok, but it's hard to say for sure right now. After this past January's flood, HSPFI solicited food and clothing donations for affected clients; this might be done again now. Another HSPFI co-worker added that, in the worst case scenario hopefully the Hagdan's life insurance programs would help. This is pretty dismal context for introducing HSPFI's life insurance programs, but they're very good and are worth mentioning here. The in-house mortuary aid fund (MAF) covers clients between the age of 18 to 60, spouses, and four beneficiaries/children (below 21 years of age, not married or employed) for natural and accidental deaths. For a one-time P50 registration fee and a P100 MAF contribution, the client's family will receive a burial fee P10,000 if the client dies. If a spouse or one of the children dies, the client will receive P5,000 for each death. Coverage ends when the client's loan ends.
The second HSPFI program, linked with insurance company UCPB, is even better. $300 pesos covers clients between 18 to 60 years of age, their spouses, and up to four children (below 20 years of age, again not married or employed) for a whole year, even if the client's loan term ends or if the client leaves Hagdan. If the client dies in an accident, his or her family can receive a P100,000 claim plus a P7,500 burial fee. If a spouse dies accidentally, the client can receive 25% of P107,500; and 10% for a child. If the client dies a natural death, his or her family can receive a P50,000 claim plus the P7,500 burial fee. The same 25% and 10% of the P57,500 total applies for a spouse or a child's natural deaths.
As the project officers survey damage from the storm, work and life continues as usual. This happens all the time here. I'm thankful that MFIs like Hagdan and microfinance can help in these situations, in whatever small ways possible. But still, it drives me crazy to think about the what-ifs. If things could somehow be different. How wonderful it could be.
Eva Wu hates asking questions that don't have good solutions, and being angsty on Thanksgiving week despite the fact that it's not a holiday in the Philippines! She's trying Twitter as another way to get more up-to-date news out. Support her host MFI, Hagdan sa Pag-uswag Foundation, Inc. and Kiva borrowers in Mindanao through tough times by lending, or by joining the HSPFI lending team.

Today's Comic
Older Sisters and Scary Fucking Puppets
October 8, 2004
First off, links. There's a
Something Positive Icons Group
on LiveJournal now being run by a reader. Uh... that's all the links I have for today. I've another one for Monday, but I wanna finish something else first.
So, today is my older sister's birthday. She's thirty-four. This terrifies me for some unknown reason. It means she's an adult and, worse yet, so am I. She's not the sadistic shrew in pigtaisl who paid kids to beat me up on a playground that I knew and my parents told me I had to love. It's a weird realization.
Honestly, when I think about all the crap my sister and I pulled, I'm shocked my parents allowed us to live to adulthood. We were the poster children for the pro-Shaken Baby Syndrome movement. I know my mother's hoping I'll achieve some degree of fame so she can right some sort of tell all book.
He Was Always a Rotten Child
by B. Milholland. I can see it now.
One of the nicer childhood memories I have of my sister is from very early childhood. We'd wake up idiotically on weekends. I think we did it to piss our mom off. Now, on Saturday morning it made sense because there were cartoons to watch. But Sunday, we'd crawl out of our beds, march down the hall with the no-skid pads on our pajamas making that odd "skitch-skitch-skitch" sound against the floor, and plant ourselves in front of the t.v.
First there was this show on Channel 5 - I can't remember the name, but it starred these creepy balding man with a beard who read you the Sunday morning comics along with his children co-hosts, who looked very uncomfortable to be around him, I might add. Inbetween his grating renditions of Charlie Brown and puns too awful for even a four year old to not look down on were old Puppetoons and Davy and Goliath shorts. My sister liked this show a lot more than I did. Once it ended, we'd flip over to Channel 8 for
Gigglesnort Hotel
Yeah - I remember the name of this show. It's scarred into my brain.
I really liked Gigglesnort Hotel, actually. It had a lot of neat puppets on it, including a dragon puppet who smoked cigars and blew real smoke from his nostrils. Seems dorky now, but in preschool this rocked my world at the foundations.
I wasn't a clever child, you see.
I loved the old couple characters, the W.C. Fields ripoff and even the only human actors. The only aspect I
like was a terrifying segment in every show where a lump of clay with eyes - and the eyes changed every week - would
roll itself out and demand for the human to mold it
. Well, that's what the host claimed. See, the clay character mumbled incoherently so that only the host could "understand" him.
Because, you know, the idea of living clay randomly showing up on its own free will and furiously demanding to be molded isn't scary enough to a child. It needs to make these demands in a tongue you can't understand. Yeah. That's a nice touch.
As you might have guessed, this wasn't my favorite part of the show. In fact, this was usually when I lost my shit. Not literally, mind you, although there were a couple of close calls. But my sister usually figured out when the clay was about to roll out, and she'd hold my hand and keep my from panicking, thus preventing tears and unwanted carpet stains. She was a good older sister, and still is.
Happy birthday, Rhonda. I miss you. -

I work in a startup security firm, and I need to build a GPU-based to brute force password/hashes, which can be used to validate password strength and test hashing algorithms. I expect some high processing demand, so it needs to be a high spec.
What (detailed) configuration do you recommend?
Would it be better to invest in a massive 1k+ cores CUDA/OpenCL GPU or to build a cluster of less-costly cards? Is "mining hardware" like these a good option?
Update due to answers: Due to customer requirements I can't outsource this to EC2 or similar cloud solutions.

State police are investigating an accident involving a rental truck carrying a cargo of gold and silver worth around $2 million.
Troopers say a U-Haul box truck rolled on its side and up against a guard rail Monday morning along the New York State Thruway's eastbound lanes in suburban Buffalo.
The operator was a government-contracted transporter and advised police he was carrying approximately about $2 million worth of gold and silver. Troopers say the cargo consisted of large mechanical filter-like cores used in military aircraft, which contain both precious metals.
State Police secured the scene, verified the driver's credentials, and arranged for all of the material to be transferred to an armored vehicle.
The driver was not injured and no other vehicles were involved.

Happy Thanksgiving, darlings! Suze here, writing to you from the deck of my cabin in the woods. I woke in time to see the sunrise over the lake. A flock of ducks just came in for a landing on the water below me. A bald eagle just flew past (I never, ever fail to be thrilled, no matter how many times I see them!). And if I'd remembered to set up the coffeepot last night, I'd be enjoying a cup right now, making it pretty much a perfect morning. We make our own electricity here and must be frugal with what we have, so it's an old-fashioned top-of-the-woodstove percolator for us–no Keurig machine!
I have so much to be grateful for, more this year than most, perhaps. So I'm making a Thanksgiving resolution: to live more mindfully and to practice gratitude in some form every day.
That being said, I'm thankful for all of you, my friends!
Now that the mushy stuff is over, how about a no-longer-secret recipe? I make my Black Friday stew every … Black Friday! I've never shopped on Black Friday, and don't intend to (except maybe once as a bucket list kind of thing). It takes a while, but it's easy, and it's a great way to use up leftovers.
Pick as much meat as you can off the turkey frame and refrigerate the meat. Get a big stock pot and put the frame in the pot, breaking it up if you need to. Toss in the wing tips, and any other bones that people didn't gnaw on (legs, thigh, wings), as well as a quartered onion, a couple of bay leaves, a few carrots, a few stalks of celery, and a parsnip if you have one. Fill the pot about 2/3 full with water, cover, and put the pot on the stove. (I make mine on a woodstove here at the cabin). Bring the water almost to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for several hours. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Strain out all the solids, discard, and return broth to the pot. (I find it works well to use two strainers—one with larger holes nested inside one with finer mesh).
Now comes the fun part. Add in:
-2 cans of cream of celery/mushroom/chicken soup, undiluted, or a combination of soups
-3 cans of creamed corn
-Leftover mashed potatoes
-Leftover gravy
-Leftover corn (or a can of corn, drained)
Stir to combine, and heat through (10 or 15 minutes is plenty). A few minutes before serving, add leftover turkey and heat for a couple more minutes.
Ladle into big bowls, and serve with a green salad and a loaf of French bread (I'm a fan of the Pillsbury French bread, the kind that comes in a tube in the refrigerator section). Don't forget leftover pie for dessert.
This feeds a crowd! If you don't have a crowd, freeze the rest. It's nice to pull out a tub of homemade soup for a quick supper or lunch on a cold winter day.
Have a wonderful day!

This chapter describes internationalization issues to consider when developing an integrated Excel workbook.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 10.1, "Introduction to Internationalizing Your Integrated Excel Workbook"
Section 10.2, "Using Resource Bundles in an Integrated Excel Workbook"
ADF Desktop Integration provides several features that allow you to deliver integrated Excel workbooks as part of an internationalized Fusion web application. One of the principal features is the use of resource bundles to manage the localization of user-visible strings that appear in Oracle ADF components at design time. It also uses resource bundles to manage the user-visible strings that appear in these components at runtime. This chapter also describes the use of resource bundles.
Note the following points about internationalization and localization in an integrated Excel workbook:
Internationalized Data
ADF Desktop Integration supports both single- and double-byte character sets. It marshals data transmitted between an Excel worksheet and a Fusion web application into XML payloads. These XML payloads use UTF-8 encoding with dates, times, and numbers in canonical formats.
The locale of the system where the Excel workbook is used determines the format for dates, times, and numbers. These settings (formats and the locale of the system) may differ from the settings used by the Fusion web application. ADF Desktop Integration does not attempt to synchronize these settings, but it ensures that the data retains its integrity. ADF Desktop Integration does not provide a mechanism for end users to change the language or display settings of the Oracle ADF components in an integrated Excel workbook at runtime.
When configuring or applying styles to ADF components in an integrated Excel workbook, configure or choose styles that are locale-sensitive. For more information, see Section 9.2, "Working with Styles."
For information about internationalizing Fusion web applications, see the "Internationalizing and Localizing Pages" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
ADF Desktop Integration uses resource bundles to manage user-visible strings that appear in the ADF components of an integrated Excel workbook at design time and runtime. JDeveloper stores resource bundles in the ADF Desktop Integration project.
You can register up to twenty resource bundles containing string values you define with an integrated Excel workbook. A resource bundle must not exceed 1 megabyte. If you attempt to register more than twenty resource bundles or a resource bundle that exceeds 1 megabyte, ADF Desktop Integration writes a warning to the client-side log file and stops registration of additional resource bundles or resource bundle data after the 1 megabte limit is reached.
For example, if resource bundle A measures 2 megabyte and resource bundle B measures 1 megabyte, ADF Desktop Integration registers the first megabyte of data in resource bundle A and all of the data in resource bundle B. For information about client-side logging, see Section C.3.2, "About Client-Side Logging."
Resources workbook property specifies what resource bundles an integrated Excel workbook can use. This property specifies an array of resource bundles (
ResourceBundle[] Array) in the integrated Excel workbook. Each element in the array has a property that uniquely identifies a resource bundle (
Alias) and a property that identifies the path to the resource bundle in the JDeveloper desktop integration project (
Class). For example,
EditPriceList-DT.xlsx in the Master Price List module references the
res resource bundle that has the following value for the
Class property:
More information about the
Resources workbook property can be found in Section A.12, "Workbook Actions and Properties."
By default, ADF Desktop Integration provides a reserved resource bundle that supplies string key values used by many component properties at runtime. When you enable an Excel workbook to integrate it with a Fusion web application, the reserved resource bundle is registered by default with the workbook. ADF Desktop Integration uses the value
_ADFDIres to uniquely identify this resource bundle. Many EL expressions reference string values in this resource bundle. For example, the following EL expression is the default value of the
Label property for the
Login button in
_ADFDIres identifies the reserved resource bundle and
TOOLBAR_MENU_CMD_LOGIN is the key that identifies the string (
Login...) in the resource bundle to use at runtime for the
Login button.
If you register another resource bundle, you can replace default string key values assigned from the
_ADFDIres resource bundle to many of the ADF component properties.
You register a resource bundle by adding an element to the
ResourceBundle[] Array using the ResourceBundle Collection Editor.
To register a resource bundle:
In the Excel workbook, click Workbook Properties in the ADF Desktop Integration task pane to display the Edit Workbook Properties dialog.
Click the ellipsis button (...) beside the input field for Resources to display the ResourceBundle Collection Editor shown in Figure 10-1.
Specify values for the resource bundle and then click OK.
For information about the values to specify for a resource bundle, see the entry for Resources in Table A-18.
You can replace a string key from the reserved resource bundle by specifying a string key from a resource bundle that you registered with the integrated Excel workbook.
To replace a string key value from the reserved resource bundle:
Open the integrated Excel workbook.
Click Workbook Properties in the Oracle ADF tab.
Click Runtime Ribbon Tab and click the ellipsis button (...) beside the input field for WorkbookMenuItem[] Array.
Click the ellipsis button (...) beside the input field for the
Label property to display the expression builder.
Write an EL expression to retrieve the string key value you want to display at runtime.
Figure 10-2 shows an example where the EL expression references a string key (
key_Login) defined in a resource bundle (
res). This EL expression replaces the default EL expression that references a string key in the
_ADFDIres resource bundle.
Click OK.
The overridable resources contains several user-visible runtime strings that you cannot replace by configuring the properties of the ADF Desktop Integration components. Examples include the strings that appear in the default upload dialog illustrated in Figure 7-5.
To replace these user-visible runtime strings, you create a resource bundle in your Fusion web application that contains the string keys from the overridable resource that ADF Desktop Integration supports. Appendix F, "String Keys in the Overridable Resources" lists these string keys. You define values for the string keys listed in Appendix F to override in the resource bundle you create.
To override resources that are not configurable:
Create a resource bundle in your Fusion web application.
For information about creating a resource bundle, see the "Defining Locales and Resource Bundles" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
Define the string key values you want to appear at runtime in the resource bundle for the string keys listed in Appendix F, "String Keys in the Overridable Resources."
_ADFDIres as the value of the Alias property when you register the resource bundle you created in Step 1.
For information about how to register a resource bundle, see Section 10.2.1, "How to Register a Resource Bundle in an Integrated Excel Workbook."
Table F-1 describes the string keys in the overridable resources that ADF Desktop Integration supports. Supply an alternative value to the value listed in the English value column for each string key in the overridable resource.
ADF Desktop Integration retrieves the values of string keys listed in Table F-1 that you defined in the resource bundle you created. It retrieves the values of other string keys that you did not define in the resource bundle you created from the reserved resource bundle.
Note:If you provide override values for
LOGIN_WINDOW_TITLE or
LOGIN_CONFIRM_CONNECT_2, the override values will not appear on the first connection to the web application. The default values will be used on the first connection. For more information, see Section 10.2.2, "How to Replace String Key Values from the Reserved Resource Bundle."
See the following sections for additional information about resource bundles in an integrated Excel workbook.
ADF Desktop Integration supports use of the following types of resource bundle:
For more information about resource bundles, see the "Manually Defining Locales and Resource Bundles" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
Caching of Resource Bundles in an Integrated Excel Workbook
ADF Desktop Integration caches the values of string keys from the resource bundles that an integrated Excel workbook retrieves when it first connects to the Fusion web application. If you change a string key value in a resource bundle after an integrated Excel workbook has cached the previous value, the modified value does not appear in the workbook unless the
ClearAllData workbook action is invoked and the end user closes and reopens the workbook so that it retrieves the modified value from the Fusion web application. For more information about the
ClearAllData workbook action, see Table A-17.
EL Expression Syntax for Resource Bundles
ADF Desktop Integration requires that you enclose the string key name in EL expressions using the
[] characters, as in the following example:
Note that ADF Desktop Integration does not support the following syntax:
ADF Desktop Integration integrates several diverse sets of technologies. Each of these technologies provides various options for controlling the choice of natural human language when you localize your Fusion web application.
When the end user interacts with an integrated Excel workbook, various elements are involved. Each of these elements has its own set of supported languages and resource translations. In such a scenario, the translation of language is the responsibility of the respective publisher.
Table 10-1 presents a summary of elements involved and their role in translation:
Table 10-1 Summary of Localization
|Area subject to localization

NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. men looking for the best place to find happiness, health and a good quality of life might consider heading to Boise, Idaho, or San Jose and San Francisco in northern California.
The three western U.S. cities top the list of the 100 best towns for men in a new ranking compiled by Men's Health magazine, while Charleston, W. Va., Philadelphia and Birmingham, Ala., are considered the worst.
"Anytime we do a best and worst city ranking and a city comes in at the very top like this, it immediately says to us they were consistently strong across the board in pretty much all of the 38 criteria that we looked at," Men's Health Executive Editor Matt Marion said.
Boise, which jumped from fifth place last year, scored high marks for the physical and mental health of its residents, its low crime rate and short commuting times – an average of just 18 minutes.
"Boise finishing number one was interesting to us because it is a city that would have finished in the top 20, but to come in right at the top is impressive," Marion said.
San Francisco, which consistently ranks high in the annual list, impressed with its small percentage of obese people, low number of smokers and highly educated and generally fit population.
San Jose had very low death rates from cancer and heart disease, the lowest percentage of smokers in any of the 100 cities in the ranking, and not much crime.
Plano, in Texas and Seattle rounded out the top five, followed by Burlington, Vt., which dropped from the top spot last year.
At the opposite end of the list, high cancer rates, violent crime and poor fitness levels assured Birmingham last place. In addition to Philadelphia and Charleston, the bottom five included Toledo, Ohio and St. Louis, Mo.
New York ranked 33rd and Los Angeles was in the middle of the ranking.
The magazine compiled the list, now in its 12th year, by ranking the cities on criteria ranging from the cost of living, number of jobless, obesity, crime and death rates, to air quality and the ratio of men to women.
It used data from various sources including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, the National Center for Health Statistics, state cancer registries and federal crime statistics.
"The things that we do focus on ultimately are the ones that will make a difference in terms of whether or not you will be happy and healthy," Marion said.

Fee Simple
The greatest possible estate in land, wherein the owner has the right to use it, exclusively possess it, commit waste upon it, dispose of it by deed or will, and take its fruits. A fee simple represents absolute ownership of land, and therefore the owner may do whatever he or she chooses with the land. If an owner of a fee simple dies intestate, the land will descend to the heirs.
The term fee used independently is an adequate designation of this type of estate in land. The term simple is added to distinguish clearly this estate from other interests in real property.
fee simple
n. absolute title to land, free of any other claims against the title, which one can sell or pass to another by will or inheritance. This is a redundant form of "fee," but is used to show the fee (absolute title) is not a "conditional fee," or "determinable fee," or "fee tail." Like "fee" it is often used in deeds transferring title as in "Harry Hadit grants to Robert Gotit title in fee simple..." or similar words. (See: fee)

Bernanke vs Jobs - Who created more jobs?
With Steve Jobs announcing his withdrawal from Apple, a rush of Apple nostalgia took over Twitter and the blogsphere. Looking back over the past 40 years, it is dazzling to review how much Jobs contributed to the big dream of business with products, marketing and sheer design, never mind the unique style of his turtle neck and jeans. For those who never knew the IBM suit, they do not get the extreme irony and ballsy marketing genius of how Jobs signalled that Apple was not a faceless, uncaring corporation.
Jobs is the epitome of Capitalism, the Ford of our day.
Steve Jobs managed to achieve irony with his retirement coming a few days before Ben Bernanke's speech on US jobs, which many supporters of big government continue to believe creates the wealth of a nation.
Here is a superb column by Peter Foster talking about this very contrast – Jobs, the Capitalist and Bernanke, the Government.
U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke invited a fundamental question: where do jobs come from: Macworld or Macro management? Are both necessary, or does the latter in fact hinder the former?
Mr. Jobs retires having created a company that vies with ExxonMobil for the position of most valuable corporation in American history, with a market value of more than US$300-billion and 50,000 employees. It is indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands of jobs elsewhere, from Korean computer chip manufacturers through high-street retailers to app developers. It also supports many unproductive — if arguably necessary — jobs in the public sector, from regulators through revenue collectors to, well, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The great French economist Jean-Baptiste Say coined "Say's Law," which points out that what brings forth production can only be the production of other items. It was the wages Mr. Jobs paid directly and indirectly as part of his productive activity that created — and continues to create — demand. However, if you believe the claims of Keynesian policymakers, although Mr. Jobs and his ilk might be useful "animal spirits," when times are rough, jobs have to be created from above. Apple will then thrive, or at least continue to exist, not because of Mr. Jobs and his sensational products, but because the government will send people down to the Apple store "with money in their pockets." The implications of the fact that this money must be either taxed, borrowed or printed tends to be ignored or glossed over. After all, in the long run, we are all dead.
In fact, Mr. Jobs' amazing concrete achievements contrast markedly with Mr. Bernanke's vague hopespeak at Jackson Hole on Friday. The one genuinely bright note in the Fed chairman's speech was that price stability remained a top priority. That is likely why North American markets responded positively. Then again, the fact that gold also rose suggested that gold bugs were concentrating on his suggestion that he still had inflationary "tools" at his disposal, although these had to be boxed for the moment.
Mr. Bernanke's claim that "long-run prospects for the U.S. are undiminished" made little sense, because those prospects depend entirely on the outcome of the political battles now taking place in Washington, which will culminate in next year's presidential election.
Mr. Bernanke invoked the vague notion of "putting people back to work," as if work was some undifferentiated lump of stuff that arose out of employment statistics rather than the result of specific jobs created by entrepreneurs in pursuit of profit. He suggested that policymakers shouldn't leave productive resources "fallow," as if those resources were, again, macroeconomic blobs that merely needed the application of government electrodes to jump to useful life. Housing? What was needed was "good, proactive" policies. He also projected adjectival success for European policymakers, who would take the "necessary and appropriate steps."
This is all wishful thinking and macromancy.
If you want to know where jobs come from, look at the record of Mr. Jobs. Apple's success is based on his relentless drive to produce new and/or superior products, from the first Apple computer, which he developed in the proverbial garage with his partner Steve Wozniak, through the Mac, the iPhone, the iPad and offshoots such as iTunes and Apple stores. During a period away from Apple, Mr. Jobs built animation wunderkind Pixar and sold it to Disney, of which he is now the largest shareholder.
I particularly appreciated Peter Foster's ability to try and show people why there are business leaders - they just keep trying. Jobs got fired from his first company, Apple, in a public manner. He was like the Phoenix rising from the ashes and he succeeded in returning to his first company and taking it far beyond anything its finest engineers' dreams.
I do believe being a business founder and operator draws a great deal from health and long term survival of leading business people. So many of the best people seem to go early.

Our favorite beers of 2014
This gets easier and harder every year.
The number of brewery openings, new releases and greater variety of craft beer available around town can make navigating Colorado's beer scene feel incredible and overwhelming.
The industry's breakneck growth, both nationally and locally, has led to growing concerns about quality being sacrificed.
We are here to share the good news — 2014 brought many standout beers from Colorado breweries of all kinds.

Let $A\subseteq\mathbb Z$, as usual we define the lower Beurling density $d^{-}(A)=\lim\inf_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{|A\cap[-n,n]|}{2n+1}$ and the upper Beurling density $d^+(A)=\lim\sup_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{|A\cap[-n,n]|}{2n+1}$. It seems to me I've found somewhere the following result, but I am not able to find the reference and I am not completely sure that I remember well:
for any $r$ in the interval $[d^{-}(A),d^+(A)]$, there is an invariant mean $m$ on $l^\infty(\mathbb Z)$ such that $m(\chi_A)=r$. Moreover, if $d^+(A)=d^{-}(A)$, then every invariant mean gives $\chi_A$ the same value and this is just the density $d(A)$.
Could anybody confirm that this result is true? reference?
thanks in advance, Valerio


text: Modern recreation centers continue to be a draw for today's students, who, despite the recent recession, continue to vote for small fee increases to fund new or improved facilities. In order to offer top-notch programming without adding to students' bottom line, many rec departments have sought external sources of revenue by offering memberships, guided outdoor adventures, equipment rental and facility rentals to the greater community. Long a source of revenue for university athletic programs, corporate sponsorships are becoming more common as contributors to recreation departments' budgets, too.

Mike Riley is a contributing editor to Dr. Dobb's. He can be contacted at [email protected].
Technologists and consumers alike have been waiting years for "the ultimate media convergence appliance". Numerous attempts have strived to attain this coveted dream device but none have yet captured the gold medal. While TiVo were probably in the best position early on, their market position has been usurped by cable and satellite companies building timeshifting into their signal conversion boxes. Apple gave it their best shot with AppleTV. While that device has Apple UI polish and pizzazz, its functional limitations have constrained its market penetration to niche enthusiasts. However, the common thread with all these past attempts is that they are closed, proprietary delivery platforms that discourage their customers from tinkering, customizing and sharing modifications and improvements with other device owners.
This myopic view of customers has given open media device vendor Neuros an entry into this race. The Neuros LINK is essentially a quiet x86 PC running Ubuntu Linux with an ATI graphics card delivering video via VGA, DVI, and HDMI output. MythTV and general Linux enthusiasts may shake their heads wondering what is so special about the Neuros. After all, such power users have been running Linux in their living rooms for years. At first pass, this is a valid assessment. What makes the LINK such a compelling platform for these folks and Linux/open source developers in general is the recognition that a real business entity is stepping forward to spend the money necessary to market and commercialize what tech enthusiasts have been doing for years. Like the early days of homebrew computing, it wasn't until small computer company startups like Apple and Microsoft came along to validate the computer market did such a market blossom beyond the basement.
To help sprout the NeurosLink to a tech-savvy media convergence seeker, Neuros has seeded the developer community with a special "gamma edition" of the Neuros LINK. This early adopter device is designed to visualize the possibilities while at the same time giving a reference design for coders seriously interested in writing their own media convergence applications to give back to the community. Since the NeurosLink is built on an open source software stack, community mods can run on any compatible Linux distribution. However, given the form factor, screen real estate and wireless keyboard and remote interaction model do the subtle nuances of smart set-top boxes can be understood and appreciated.
Device Specifications
The LINK hardware is pretty much what one would expect from a Linux computer. Running on a AMD Athlon LE-1660 CPU with graphics powered by an ATI Radeon HD 3200 video card, the LINK ships with 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM that can be expanded up to 8GB (although the 32-bit version of Ubuntu that Neuros is using can only support up to 4GB), audio processed by the Realtek ALC1200 chip, and plenty of ports, ranging from HDMI and DVI for video output, 8 USB 2.0 ports, external eSATA and firewire ports and 6 audio ports.
While the unit can function from the OS loaded on the USB thumbdrive, it's ideal for gamma developers to take advantage of the internal PATA and 5 SATA storage device interfaces to install their own hard drives for local storage of multimedia files, Linux program installs, customizations and more. In addition to the standard Ethernet port, the LINK comes installed with an 802.11 g/b WiFi card for easy placement in an unwired living room or family room. The LINK can be controlled via the wireless keyboard with a built-in trackball, or via a separately purchased handheld remote.
The ebony case housing the electronics is roughly 12x3.5x13 inches (WxHxD), though with the wireless USB keyboard receiver plugged into one of the USB ports on the back of the LINK, along with the power, Ethernet, HDMI or DVI cables plugged into the back, one should account for another 2 to 3 inches of shelf space.
The gamma currently arrives pre-installed with Ubuntu 8.10, though Neuros plans to upgrade to version 9.04 in the commercial version. Neuros recommends holding off on upgrading the gamma unit to 9.0.4 until they have fully tested this version of the OS before pulling the upgrade trigger. The Neuros distribution is preloaded with all the audio/video codecs necessary to view the various popular media formats, ranging from AVI, FLV, MP3, MP4, OGV and others that the installed MPlayer, VLC and Xine open source video players support.
Check out the Neuros LINK Wiki for a more comprehensive list of the LINK's technical specifications.

Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA JOTI) are real jamborees during which Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas shared using radios, phones, chat rooms and skype.
JOTA JOTI happens every year over the third weekend in October and Scouts all over the world join in.
The Jamboree on the Air is an annual event in which half a million Scouts and Guides all over the world make contact with each other by means of amateur radio. Short-wave radio signals carry their voices to virtually any corner of the world.
The use of amateur radio means that many Scouts get the opportunity to discover the skills of wireless radio techniques and electronics. JOTA is also the only event that offers each individual Scout the opportunity to speak to other Scouts across the world. In 2019, JOTA will take place from 18 to 20 October 2019. This will be the 62nd event.
Jamboree on the Internet connects Scouts across the world using the internet.
ScoutLink Active Support Unit and volunteer organisations like Scoutnet provide the necessary technical support and server
capacity. In 2019, JOTI will take place from 18 to 20 October 2019. This will be the 23rd event.

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen believes the return of Lucas Leiva can fuel the club's bid for a Champions League place.
The Brazil international made his comeback at the weekend after three months out with a thigh problem, having already been sidelined since last November after knee surgery.
It provided the Reds with defensive surety in the middle of the pitch and allowed their full-backs and more creative midfielders, Allen and Steven Gerrard, to get forward.
The 1-0 victory over Southampton, which included a completely one-sided first half, lifted Liverpool to within seven points of third-placed Chelsea.
And Allen thinks the return of Lucas can help them close the gap further.
"You're always going to miss quality players like Lucas and it's great to have him back in the side," said the Wales international.
"His return, with the steel and quality he brings, is only going to help the team going forward.
"It's a very important role. If you look at the top teams, they all utilise that position and have a quality player there and it is for a reason, it is vital for the way we want to play.
"With him back playing, I'm sure we'll get the benefits of that in terms of points and our position in the table.
"We've closed the gap (to the top four) a bit and for a club like Liverpool, that has to be our target.
"We have got a run of games now where we want to pick up points and further reduce that deficit."
Allen is also hopeful the freedom playing alongside Lucas brings will allow him to show a different side to his game as on Saturday he was released to attack more having spent most of his debut season at Anfield in the holding role.
"That's more my natural position," he added.
"I haven't played there for a while so I found myself trying to get back into the swing of things.
"I had that security of knowing that Lucas was there.
"It gives you the chance to express yourself further up the pitch, and try to get involved in creating and scoring goals."

Second Christmas Festival of Religious Music opens at the Moscow International House of Music
On 8 January 2012, the Second Christmas Festival of Religious Music opened at the Moscow International House of Music with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. Vladimir Spivakov, president of the Moscow International House of Music, a member of the Patriarchal Council for Culture, and Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations, act as artistic directors of the Festival.
Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk read out greetings from the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church to the organizers, participants and guests: "On these radiant days we have gathered together to share the joy over the incarnation of God the Saviour of the world and to sing songs of praise to Him." His Holiness Patriarch Kirill noted that the Moscow Christmas Festival has already made a name for itself in the world music community and expressed his hope for the Festival, held annually, to foster moral health of our society.
"Singing, especially choral singing, is the most natural expression of unity and accord. It is not fortuitous that the Holy Bible regards singing as the best form of praising God by human beings and angels", His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia underscored in his greeting.
Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk told the audience about the versatile programme of the Festival, which includes performing of different kinds of religious music: Byzantine and Old Russian hymns, and modern compositions, such as American spirituals.
The Moscow Synodal Choir conducted by Alexei Puzakov, an honoured artist of Russia, sang hymns by Pavel Chesnokov, Alexander Kastalsky, archpriest Nikolai Vedernikov, Nikolai Golovanov, and Georgy Sviridov. In the second part of the concert the Moscow Synodal Choir and "Musica Viva" Moscow Chamber Orchestra (headed by Alexander Rudin) performed the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, composed by Alexander Grechaninov in 1917 on the basis of ancient plain chant "Demestvo" for choir, string orchestra and organ (opus 79).
Performing at the next concert of the Christmas Festival to be held on 14 January will be "La Cappella Silvanensis" vocal ensemble of the Sylvanès Abbey (France).

We believe that to ensure a healthy future, Azerbaijan needs independently thinking, well educated and capable youth. The youth should also carry the responsibility for the future of the state and statehood. By understanding and accepting this responsibility, we have founded "OL!" ("BE!") Azerbaijan Youth Movement. "OL!" Movement is a movement of the youth who, regardless of their nationality, language, religion and gender, strive for the sustainable and comprehensive development of Azerbaijan.
Our three major principles are:
- Non-violence
- Tolerance
- Modernity
"OL!" Movement is a movement of modern Azerbaijani youth who reject any type of violence and always demonstrate tolerance in their relationships with others.
"OL!" Azerbaijan Youth Movement is a non-political social movement. The major purposes of the "OL!" Movement are the formation of independently thinking responsible youth; the satisfaction of youth's cultural, scientific and other non-material demands; and the assistance in their education and their realization from a professional standpoint. In order to carry out these purposes "OL!" Movement calls for youth to take a more active part in society's life and in solving its problems. We believe that the active participation of youth in public life is one of the main conditions for building of democracy and Civil Society.
We want Azerbaijan to be a developed country. As the Youth of Azerbaijan, it is our duty and resolution to do everything we can to contribute to this development. For carrying out our duty and resolution we want the youth to hold to the following as guiding principles:
BE Free!
Free and independently thinking youth is the foundation of a democratic society.
To gain useful life experience, discover our place in society, assert ourselves and build our future independently of anything or anyone, we must be free. For that, we, and only we, should be able to choose our field of study, field of work, profession and people in our lives. If we are afraid to make mistakes while acting freely, we should know that, the mistakes we make and will make can be a big learning experience for us. We should not forget that being "free" does not mean disregarding advice or rejecting support from the others. Being "consciously free" means taking the advice into consideration, making the right decision and acting freely upon it. We want the Azerbaijani youth to be free, without forgetting the responsibility it carries for its actions.
BE Democratic!
In past, we were able to grasp the democratic values and to create the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan in 1918. But during 70 years under the totalitarian rule we moved away from these values. In 1991 as a result of our people's courageous struggle we once again established a democratic republic. Now we call upon the youth to propagate a democratic way of thinking and lifestyle.
BE Just!
For justice to be deserved, it first should be practiced. For justice to be practiced anytime and anywhere, we should have the ability to objectively evaluate events and processes in our society. Only by doing this we can make proper and educated decisions. Let us try to be as just as we can!
BE Tolerant!
Our comprehensive and rapid development as a nation and as a state depends on how tolerant the modern Azerbaijani youth are. We should display tolerant attitude towards anyone - regardless of their nationality, mother tongue, religion, race, sex, age, beliefs, place of birth, financial position, political views or their favorite football team. In our modern society, tolerance should be one of the major attitudes expressed and shared amongst people.
BE active!
Just like in developed countries, Youth in Azerbaijan should be on the frontline of all positive changes and reforms. Social activities must be an inseparable part of our Youth's life alongside education, work, family and entertainment. We believe that, by taking an active part in social processes Youth will be able to gain invaluable experience that can be used in any field. Social activeness is one of the major factors in the identity evolution of young people.
BE Healthy!
Following a healthy lifestyle is one the major conditions in the development of physically and psychologically fit young people. We invite youth to devote more time to sporting activities in order to stay away from psychological stresses, computer/internet addiction, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.
BE Green!
Protecting nature and planting of greenery is our direct responsibility. We should be the ones who conserve nature, not damage it. Ecological problems, especially the pollution of the Caspian Sea, the lack of sustainable development, constant violation of hygiene rules on the streets, trash in public places and spit residue on the ground are issues we are deeply concerned about. Please protect Azerbaijan! Good fatherlands are hard to find! Be Green!
BE Professional!
The formation of professional youth in various fields/areas is essential for Azerbaijan. To ensure the development and growth of professionals that are demanded, we need high levels of education, transparency in universities and at the work place and equal employment opportunities.
BE Modern!
In our society there are some excessively conservative ideas of the past that create obstacles for us to grow. We should separate ourselves from these notions. This is the demand of the time. Time waits for no one and we do not want to be late. The path to stable development should be led by progressive youth who are stepping in tact with the demands of time. We should be the ones who will offer development to our country.
If there is nothing to wait for, then the time has come!
Please find the Russian version of the manifesto here.
We believe that to ensure a healthy future, Azerbaijan needs independently thinking, well educated and capable youth. The youth should also carry the responsibility for the future of the state and statehood. By understanding and accepting this responsibility, we have founded "OL!" ("BE!") Azerbaijan Youth Movement. "OL!" Movement is a movement of the youth who, regardless of their nationality, language, religion and gender, strive for the sustainable and comprehensive development of Azerbaijan.

I agree with this because I consider that youth have the responsibility of the future because they have the necessary means to get it.

Kathy, (aka "Bessie"), and I began our beekeeping experience in the fall of 2008, when we began a year-long course in beekeeping through the Indian Creek Nature Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We got our first package of bees in April of 2009. At the suggestion of our daughter, Jessica, we are logging our beekeeping experience. Hope you find it interesting. It has been interesting, rewarding and entertaining for us as well.

About 30 million people have tried Facebook places, a single source who works with Facebook tells us.
Reached for a response to this number, Facebook rep Larry Yu told us, "[I] don't have any guidance to offer right now, I'm afraid."
Not a denial.
Anyway, our source's number sounds reasonable to us.
On its "latest statistics" page, Facebook says "there are more than 150 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices."
Does this mean Foursquare, the startup Facebook Places most closely copies, is doomed? It only has 4 million users. It had an offer to sell to Yahoo this summer for more than $100 million. Should CEO Dennis Crowley have taken the money and run?
Surprisingly, the answer to both those questions might still be "no."
We monitored three locations in New York for five weeks and found that Foursquare's four million users checked-in way more at those locations. Here's the chart we made with the data. Foursquare check-ins are in blue, Facebook Places, in red:
There could be some other explanations for the disparity between the number of Facebook Places users and the number of check-ins.
Foursquare was created in New York. It's possible that, in other cities, Facebook Places is much more popular and Foursquare is much less popular. We imagine there are places in the midwest where everyone's grandma is on Facebook and no one has heard of Foursquare.
We also could have picked the three non-representative check-in locations.
But the idea that Facebook Places has lots of users who don't use it much feels right. Lots of people we know use Facebook mobile – Facebook says 50 million iPhone owners do – and we hardly every see check-ins in our News Feed. Certainly the number is far lower than the number of mobile upload photos we see.
Also, we hear Foursquare tracks this kind of check-in data and has seen similar trends.
What does this many-users-to-few-active-users mean for Facebook's business?
- Local business don't need to rush into figuring out Facebook's new ad product for Places.
- Facebook revenues, which we expect a 2010 number close to $2 billion, won't surge past that number this year due to Places.
For Foursquare, the take-away is: PHEW!
For the rest of us, the lesson is this: Just because a web-service has scale in one product (or even several) doesn't mean it will be able to sudden scale a new product – even if it floods that new product with temporary users.
(We've learned this less before, of course. Google teaches it best, rolling out products like Buzz and Wave to crickets.)

|Balaenoptera (1)
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is the largest animal to have ever lived, being almost as big as a Boeing 737 (2) and even larger than the biggest dinosaurs (6) (7). The largest recorded length for a blue whale is 33.5 metres (6), although most individuals vary between 24 and 27 metres (2). The heart of this monstrous whale is actually around the size of a Volkswagen Beetle (6).
Like other rorquals (members of the family Balaenopteridae), the blue whale has a long, somewhat tapered and streamlined body, with the head making up less than one-fourth of its total body length (8) (9). The rostrum (upper part of the head) is very broad and flat and almost U-shaped, with a single ridge that extends just forward of the blowhole to the tip of the snout. The body is smooth and relatively free of parasites, although a few barnacles may attach to the edge of the tail fluke, the tips of the flippers and to the small, triangular dorsal fin. There is a row of 300 to 400 black baleen plates on each side of the mouth, and approximately 90 throat grooves extend to the navel (6), which allows the throat to expand enormously during feeding (6) (7).
The blow (or spout) of this species is the biggest amongst all whales, the slender upright column of air rising up to nine meters (10). Blue whales in the Northern Hemisphere are generally smaller than those in the Southern Ocean. The female may be up to 10 metres longer than the male (6) (11).
Despite its common name, the blue whale is actually grayish-blue, with a mottled effect that is visible in some lights and can allow individuals to be identified. The underside often has a yellowish tinge, especially on whales living in polar waters, which is caused by microscopic algae called 'diatoms' and led to early whalers giving this species the nickname 'sulphur bottom whale' (6) (10).
The blue whale usually occurs alone or in groups of two or three, but occasionally large groups of up to 60 may form in areas of high food abundance. It feeds mainly on shrimp-like krill, which are filtered through the baleen plates (1). During feeding, large volumes of water and food can be taken into the mouth because the pleated grooves in the throat expand. As the mouth closes, water is expelled through the baleen plates, which trap the food on the inside to be swallowed (8). During the summer feeding season, the blue whale gorges itself, consuming an astounding 4 tonnes or more each day, meaning it may eat up to 40 million krill a day (8).
The blue whale reaches sexual maturity at 7 to 10 years of age, when it will mate with several partners during winter and early spring. A single calf is produced after a gestation period of 10 to 11 months and weaned at the summer feeding grounds, when it is approximately seven months old (12). During the nursing period, the calf consumes around 100 gallons of the mother's fat rich-milk and grows an incredible one and a half inches in length each day, with a weight gain of 90 kilograms per day (8). The inter-birth period for female blue whales is probably two to three years, although this may have decreased recently in response to the low population densities (10).
The blue whale produces louder calls than any other animal on earth. Communication occurs via a variety of low frequency sounds and clicks. The male blue whale is capable of producing particularly long calls, which have been well studied and appear to have functions in sensing the environment, prey detection, communication and male display (13).
The blue whale is found in every ocean except the Arctic, with a range that extends from the periphery of drift-ice in polar seas to the tropics, although it is absent from some seas such as the Mediterranean, Okhotsk and Bering (1). It follows a seasonal migration pattern between summering and wintering areas, although some individuals may remain in certain areas year-round (11). The species' range can be loosely organised into three main populations: one in the North Atlantic (Balaenoptera musculus musculus), one in the North Pacific (Balaenoptera musculus musculus), and another in the southern Hemisphere (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia and Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) (1).
In the Antarctic region, which formerly supported the largest blue whale population, the blue whale occurs from the Antarctic Polar Front up to and into the ice in the summer, and is thought to migrate equator-wards before winter. The pygmy blue whale is most abundant on the Madagascar plateau in the southern Indian Ocean, and off south and western Australia (1).
In the North Atlantic the summer distribution of the blue whale extends from the Scotian Shelf to the Davis Strait in Canada, eastwards to Iceland, the Denmark Strait and Svalbard, and north to the ice edge. The winter distribution of the blue whale in the North Atlantic is poorly known, but it is thought that in the past the blue whale was widely distributed in the southern half of the North Atlantic in the winter (1).
The blue whale occurs in the eastern Pacific from southern Chile to Costa Rica, where it is present year-round. In the North Pacific, it is found from the coast of Oregon to the Kurile Islands and north to the Aleutian Islands. In the past the blue whale was regularly caught off southern Japan and the Korean peninsula, but it has not been seen there in recent years (1).
The blue whale inhabits the open ocean, where it is found most frequently along the continental shelf edge and near polar ice (3). It feeds at both the surface and at depth, undertaking diurnal vertical migrations as it follows its krill prey to depths of at least 100 metres (1).
Poleward movements in the spring allow the blue whale to take advantage of high prey abundances in the summer, while movement towards the subtropics in the autumn allows the blue whale to reduce its energy expenditure while fasting, avoid ice entrapment and breed in warmer waters (1).
The blue whale is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (1). It is listed on Appendix I of CITES and Appendix I of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS or Bonn Convention) (4) (5).
Subspecies: Antarctic blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus intermedia, is classified as Critically Endangered (CR); and the pygmy blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda, is classified as Data Deficient (DD) (1).
Because of its enormous size and speed, the blue whale was largely safe from early whalers, who could not pursue it in open boats with hand harpoons. However, the advent of the exploding harpoon gun in 1868 allowed for the commercial exploitation of this species, with the whaling industry particularly focusing on the blue whale after 1900 (9). The slaughter peaked in 1931, when over 29,000 were killed in one season (8). After that, blue whales became so scarce that the whalers turned to other species. More than 360,000 blue whales were taken by whaling fleets in the Southern Hemisphere from 1904 to 1967 (7), and the Antarctic and North Atlantic populations were probably depleted to the low hundreds by the time whaling ceased (1). The total global blue whale population has declined by at least 70 percent, and possibly as much as 90 percent, over the last three generations, with the formerly very large Antarctic population declining over the same period by as much as 97 percent (1).
Although commercial whaling of the blue whale is now banned, its population is so small that any further mortalities may severely impact on the survival of the species. It is still subject to a number of threats including ship strikes, noise and chemical pollution, and net entanglement. The remote distribution of some blue whale populations probably makes them less vulnerable to human impacts than some other cetacean species, but local populations that inhabit waters with significant levels of human activity, such as the Gulf of St. Lawrence, may be particularly vulnerable to these threats (1).
Hunting of the blue whale was banned in 1966, although some illegal soviet whaling persisted for several years after. No blue whales have been deliberately caught since 1978 (1). However, this protection almost came too late for the blue whale, and recovery has been extremely slow. Only in the last few years have there been signs that numbers may be increasing (9).
Today, there are an estimated 10,000 to 25,000 blue whales surviving worldwide, which represents around 2 to 11 percent of the total pre-commercial exploitation population (1). All international trade in the blue whale is further prohibited by its listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and on Appendix I of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS or the Bonn Convention) (4) (5).
The blue whale occurs in a number of Marine Protected Areas throughout its range that are aimed at protecting the whole marine ecosystem, as well as whale sanctuaries in the Antarctic, Indian and Southern Oceans. Several countries have also implemented research and conservation programmes for this species, much of which is coordinated by the International Whaling Commission, and these include identifying areas of critical habitat, investigating species abundance and distribution, and mitigating the threats to the species (7).

New Jersey Auto Insurance Laws
For motor vehicle and standard auto policies, the following minimum Bodily Injury coverage is required:
$15,000 per person injured in any one accident and $30,000 for all persons injured in any one accident
In addition, the following minimum Property Damage coverage is required:
$5,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident
Optional Basic Automobile Insurance Coverage
This coverage is a "No-Fault" policy, and it pays medical expenses of the insured, regardless of fault. However, it prevents an injured person from filing suit against a negligent driver. If elected, the bodily injury coverage requirements stated above do not apply. Instead, the insured gets a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy, which pays the insured, those riding with him or her, and pedestrians for injuries, regardless of fault. PIP covers medical expenses of $15,000 per person, but cannot exceed $250,000 per person for medical treatment for permanent/significant brain injury, spinal cord injury, disfigurement, or treatment of any other permanent or significant injuries. It limits property damage coverage to $5,000. The insured can then choose whether he or she wants to purchase an optional bodily injury coverage policy of $10,000 per person. This coverage is not available to motorcycle owners.
By switching my car insurance, I've saved over $600. Your brokers

Denver housing starts on rise
Homebuilding in Denver has a big upside going into 2011, according to a recent report by Metrostudy, a national housing data and consulting firm.
758 homes were started in the fourth quarter last year, up 12 percent from the same period a year ago. Annual housing starts for 2010 were up 40 percent over 2009 with 3,735 units started.
"Starts will increase in 2011, but not to the same extent and not for the same reasons they did in 2010," said John Covert, director of Metrostudy's Colorado division.
Builders closed on 4,394 homes in 2010, a 16 percent decline from 2009. The 1,029 closings in the fourth quarter last year were down 23 percent from the same period a year ago.
"Clearly, demand for housing is still in a fragile place with high unemployment and rising interest rates," said Covert. "This economic uncertainty will eventually loosen its grip on the psyche of home buyers once job creation appears sustainable."
Last year was the second-worst year for housing construction in the last 30 years for Denver builders, Covert said.
"Of course, 2009 was worse, and the road ahead is still clogged with roadblocks and uncertainty," said Covert. "However, long-term, homebuilding in Denver has big upside. With a population approaching 3 million, Metrostudy believes in a 'normalized' year the market should be able to absorb around 15,000 homes. We expect housing starts to increase 10 to 20 percent in 2011 as job formations continue, foreclosures moderates, home prices stabilize, and consumer confidence grows."

This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: GM Is Leaking And It's Just Got To Stop
The Detroit News reports that GM's CEO, Dan Akerson, is shocked, shocked at all the leaks that have come from the company over the Joel Ewanick situation and he wants to put a stop to them. Akerson seems to have been particularly upset by this week's Bloomberg report that detailed the internal frictions over Joel Ewanick and his alleged failure to disclose the full cost of the $559 million Man U deal. The story "was almost verbatim what happened. That is unfair to anybody whether you think he's right, wrong or in-between," Akerson said.
As Matt said yesterday, there's been an awful lot of trash talk about Ewanick that's been emanating from all corners of GM, some of it on the record, some of it off the record. (It isn't just people in the auto industry who've noticed. Yesterday, Marty St. George, the CMO at JetBlue, tweeted, "Still strangely bothered by @joelewanick's ouster. GM needed change, got change, fired change.") If Akerson is going to get upset about the leaks, then maybe he ought to be questioning why some people get accurate leaks and some get inaccurate ones. Back when the deal was signed for GM to put the Chevy name on Man U jerseys, British newspapers uniformly reported that the deal was worth about $300 million. But Reuters reported correctly that it was worth closer to $600 million. Who gave the Brits the bad info? Was it GM or Man U? Was a low-ball number deliberately leaked to throw people off the trail of the real number?
On the conference call, which the AP also tapped into, Akerson said, "We have to stop leaking in this company. It's an act of treason - it really is." No, it really isn't. Here's a little insight about leaks. They happen for two reasons. Some are authorized PR department leaks. Somebody wants the information to be out, but doesn't want to be seen as saying it (we've really never understood why). The other kind of leaks happen when an insider wants information to get out in the hopes that justice of some form will be done, even if it's just putting the company in its place. And when a company starts to spiral downward, for instance, people throw caution to the winds and the place leaks like a sieve. You don't stop leaks by telling people not to leak. You stop leaks by having nothing to leak, which usually means you're running a confident, successful work place.
(Do some justice right now and use an anonymous burner account to leave some information about GM or any other car company in Kinja below. — MH)
2nd Gear: VW Wants A Better Seat
Reuters reports that Volkswagen has a settled on a key part of its strategy to become the world's biggest carmaker. It plans to fix Seat, its money-losing Spanish car division. Seat (pronounced SAY-ott) is VW's Achilles heel. While the rest of the company has been profitable, Seat has lost $1.2 billion since 2008, and has been profitable only once in the past 10 years. (Ouch.) Reuters says VW wants Seat to become less reliant on crisis-ridden Spain and instead seize potential in China and Russia, both of which Seat entered this year. The best news for VW is that Seat has its youngest buyers.
3rd Gear: Do You Want A 5-Door Civic Hatchback?
USA Today says Honda may bring a five-door hatchback version of the Civic compact to the U.S. The next generation is expected around 2016. It will have multiple body styles and many different powertrains. Civic will be built in 14 different plants and sold in 160 countries although 55% of global sales currently are in Canada and the U.S., says Erik Berkman, president of Honda R&D Americas. Hyundai brought a five-door version of its popular Elantra to the U.S. this year, and of course, there's the Prius. Honda has already decided that the next Civic sedan and coupe for sale in the U.S. will be developed in North America, Berkman says. The current Civic debuted last year to mixed reviews, meaning some reviewers beat it up pretty badly mainly over cheap interior materials. Consumer Reports magazine urges readers to avoid buying it. A near-term fix is in the works.
4th Gear: Welcome To The Hotel Toyota
The Hindu Business Line reports Toyota is launching its first venture in the hotel business. Its Indian business has formd a joint venture with the Bangalore-based Hyagreeva Hotels. Starting in January, Toyota will take over two floors of The Chancery hotel, and offer facilities tailored for Japanese travelers, like cuisine, massage, spa treatments and a communal bath (it's called an onsen in Japan). Toyota executive Kazuyuki Kawai says Toyota isn't putting in any money. It will just provide HR and marketing support and a knowledge of Japanese culture. "Our aim is to start small and grow big. We need somebody's help to study the market and find the best way. Right now, we want to make our relationship with the Chancery a success. We will then decide what to do in the future," Kawai told the publication.
Just imagine, for a moment, how your favorite car company would run a hotel. Toyota, we assume, will have beige walls. BMW's would have super-fast elevators. Chrysler's would have an Italian general manager but Americans at the front desk. At Ford, there would be a friendly guy in a red sweater parking cars. (Actually, Ford sort of has its own hotel, if you count the Dearborn Inn.) At Honda, all the rooms would pretty much look the same. Oh, we could go on and on...
Reverse: The Accident That Changed Automotive History
On this day in 1978, three Indiana teenagers died in the fiery crash of their Ford Pinto, setting off a chain of events that would have a permanent impact on automotive history. A grand jury later returned indictments against Ford on three counts of reckless homicide, marking the first time in history that a corporation had been charged with murder. Ford claimed that the Pinto's fuel-tank design was the same as other subcompacts, and that the company had done everything possible to comply with the recall once it had been enacted. Due to a lack of evidence, the jury found Ford not guilty in the case. But the door was flung open for similar lawsuits. [History]
In keeping with our new discussion system, here's a place for you to own the floor. We're asking each day what you think about an issue that comes up in TMS. Do you think a "leak" is actually treasonous? Or is it natural for companies or employees to want to release information on the DL? Remember, there's no right answer, that's why it's neutral.

I have three AP's (on chan 1,6,11) that I want to rename instead of looking at their MAC addresses. I can do this for one AP but with the other two AP's I have an issue.
They both have the same MAC address except for the last octet. One is :58 and the other is :54. When I try and edit one of them the "Edit Radio Alias" box displays the MAC address but displays the last octet as :5X. It appears to be wildcarding the last digit of the last octet because when I change the name of one, it changes the name of both of them.
So if I name one of them "Lab4 AP" both of them (the ones ending in :54 and :58) will be rename.
I appears to be by design and I am curious why and is there a way I can get around this.
