Ahem, can be done with metals as well... LINK
Thanks, interesting link. That must be how they get some of the eliptical tube profiles in aluminium?
You dont see the range of shapes in aluminium that you do in CF and I've yet to see any of the huge bottom bracket profiles that are becoming more common in CF.
Aluminium has been around for quite a while now and I assume that manufacturing process has too. Perhaps it has some limitations as far as what shape is achieveable with a reasonable thickness of material.

Investment Tip of the Day
ETFs or Mutual Funds?
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) are investment funds that trade just like stocks on stock exchanges. Like Mutual Funds, ETFs contain a basket of securities such as bonds or stocks, but for the most part ETFs commonly track an index like NASDAQ. ETF combines the valuation feature of mutual funds with the trading style of closed-ended funds, trading throughout the intraday at a price that may not reflect its underlying net asset value. Mutual funds transactions are settled at the end of the day price with the fund company.
ETFs have always been exalted for their extensive flexibility and cheap alternative to mutual funds. Although most mutual funds are actively managed, which contributes to their higher fees, when one were to take that into consideration ETFs still are much cheaper to own. Mutual funds are likely also to include trailer fees which are commissions paid by fund companies to brokers/dealers as compensation for their advice and distribution channels.
Although ETFs unquestionably have lower fees they do however have to deal with brokerage commissions any time they are bought and sold whereas mutual funds are not dealt this way. So if you are an active trader then these constant trade commissions for buying/selling ETFs can add up tremendously throughout a year and might out way any savings you may have had over mutual funds.
ETFs carry better tax benefits. Because they do not comprise actual shares of the underlying stocks as mutual fund units do, ETF shares are acquired by authorized reps in exchange for its stock basket which then get distributed as ETF shares on the open market. This simplified process makes selling of ETF shares not involve the selling of its underlying stock. When mutual fund units are bought/sold underlying shares of stock are also bought/sold and a taxable event occurs. This type of structuring reduces taxes but also reduces the amount of potential capital gains for ETF shareholders.
So when you look at both types of funds you can understand why the two exist. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. If you are still having a hard time deciding then we recommend you seek out a financial advisor to determine which type is best for your needs.

Reliable, dependable fire detection depends on electrical contractors (ECs) installing the correct cable. Quality is just as important as wire gauge. The internal and external characteristics of the product must fit the application.
There are three methods used to transport supervisory, trouble and alarm signals from one point to another. The first method involves the use of metallic wire. The second method involves fiber optic cable, and the third relies on radio technology. Each one is extremely important when installing fire alarm systems in new buildings.
NEC regulates cable use
Installers that work primarily with low-voltage systems, such as teledata, fire and intrusion alarm systems, should always keep in mind that the National Electrical Code (NEC) regulates the application of high--voltage and low-voltage cables.
And according to Section 188.8.131.52 of NFPA 72, 2007 edition, "The installation of all wiring, cable, and equipment shall be in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, and specifically with Articles 760, 770, and 800, where applicable. Optical fiber cables shall be protected against mechanical injury in accordance with Article 760."
Article 300, for example, offers an enormous amount of direction to installers' ring methods. Although it's code oriented, the information it offers is helpful in knowing which type of cable to use in certain applications.
Probably one of the most important concerns involves techniques designed to prevent the migration of smoke from one space to another. For example, Article 300.21, 2008 edition, instructs that fire stopping is required when a cable(s) penetrates a hollow space, vertical shaft, or ventilation or air-handling duct. This consists of special putty or sealant that seals openings between cables and surrounding surfaces where they penetrate.
Article 760.53(B)(3), 2008, also calls for riser-rated cable for vertical runs to minimize the likelihood of fire migration in a vertical direction. "Cables installed in vertical runs and penetrating more than one floor or cables installed in vertical runs in a shaft shall be Type NPLFR (non-power-limited fire riser). Floor penetrations requiring Type NPLFR shall contain only cables suitable for riser or plenum use."
A cable's outer sheath must be noncombustible. In addition, when exposed to heat, it must not emit a toxic gas, which can injure or kill people still in the structure. Toxic smoke will kill long before the heat of the fire reaches the victim.
According to Section 18.104.22.168.3, NFPA 72, 2007, "Conductors and fiber optic cables shall have an approved insulation. The insulation or other outer covering shall be flame retardant and moisture resistant."
Conductor path and wire gauge
Another important consideration when installing a fire alarm system is how the wires should be routed through a structure. When using Class A wiring, initiating circuits are routed in such a manner that the feed and return cables travel by completely different paths within the building (see Section 126.96.36.199, NFPA 72, 2007).
Choosing the signal path for conductors relies on several issues. According to Section 22.214.171.124, NFPA 72, 2007, integrity and reliability is dependent on several factors, such as conductor length, total building space, the nature of the fire hazard and the functional requirements relating to the level of protection required.
Other aspects associated with choosing the correct wire for the job include wire gauge, the way the conductors are positioned in the cable sheath, whether the equipment requires a shield, the type of dielectric material used to separate the internal conductors, and the manner in which the installers apply them.
On the power supply side, primary power usually is brought to the panel using 14- or 12-AWG conductors. These wires usually connect directly to a stationary power transformer within the fire alarm panel. By the Code, the circuit used for primary power must be equipped with an overcurrent device no greater than 20 amps.
The wire gauge of the conductors connecting house power to the transformer's primary can be less than 14 AWG, assuming the transformer's flying leads do not exceed 12 inches in length. Most manufacturers incorporate this requirement into their design, but installers should know what the Code calls for in this regard.
Where alarm panels include a separate plug-in transformer, as with combination burglar/fire panels, the Code requires that the transformer be secured. This most often is performed using a shroud that prevents it from being easily removed. The shroud and transformer fasten to the center screw tying the receptacle cover to the receptacle.
Power-limited fire alarm circuits
There are two basic circuit classifications that determine the type of cable used in a fire alarm system. They are power limited and nonpower limited. Power-limited circuits are typified by some means of limiting the amount of power that can flow through an attached cable.
The Code calls for the use of Class 2 and 3 circuits when using power-limited cable. These most often are the same low-voltage circuits that comprise the detection, notification and power circuits on the load side of the fire alarm panel and accompanying power supplies.
According to Section 188.8.131.52, NFPA 72, 2007, these circuits must be supervised by the alarm panel. They also must be marked at the point of termination. The code states that "unless otherwise permitted or required by 188.8.131.52 through 184.108.40.206.13, all means of interconnecting equipment, devices, and appliances and wiring connections shall be monitored for the integrity of the interconnecting conductors or equivalent path so that the occurrence of a single open or a single ground-fault condition in the installation conductors or other signaling channels and their restoration to normal shall be automatically indicated within 200 seconds."
Power-limited cabling used in fire signaling circuits should be listed for use in fire alarm systems, and it must be labeled accordingly (see sidebar). Conductors should be no smaller than 16 AWG when using single strands, 19 AWG when there are two or three conductors in a single cable, 22 AWG with four or five, and 24 AWG when there are six or more.
The insulation on these conductors should be rated for at least 300 volts, and the jacket should be constructed so it can withstand the normal rigors of placement and use. An appropriate sheath also must be used to ensure the integrity of the electrical connection between detector/sensor and the fire alarm panel, which is especially critical during a fire.
In a nonpower-limited circuit, an overcurrent device, such as a fuse or breaker, limits current. Article 760, titled Fire Alarm Systems, calls for a rating of 7 amps when working with 18-AWG conductors and 10 amps with 16-AWG conductors. There are exceptions to these specified wire gauges, so be sure to review the relevant articles in the NEC.
In some systems, fiber optic cable is used to connect addressable hubs within a large facility. This is a growing trend in the fire alarm field, and we'll see more of it as the market turns to network-based fire detection technology.
In closing, because there is such a volume of information and requirements found in NFPA code sets, it would be impractical to expect that we could cover them all in a single article. I suggest that ECs whose focus is on fire alarm systems obtain NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, in addition to NFPA 70 (NEC).

With Washington in gridlock on issues from gun regulation to immigration reform, Governing magazine took note this month that Americans are turning to local and state governments – as well as each other – to find common ground in solving problems.
"The sweeping national interventions of the New Deal and the comprehensive federal social legislation of the 1960s have been replaced by a more decentralized approach to governance," the national publication found.
States and cities can more easily pass laws than Congress because of a practical focus and stronger identity as a community. The trend is not confined to governance. As the local-food movement has grown, for example, scholars note that people are 10 times more likely to talk to each other at a farmers' market than a supermarket. Volunteering has surged. And with car-dependent suburbs growing old, urban life has a new cache, creating new types of bonding that the late scholar Iris Young called the "being together of strangers."
Over a century ago, the French observer Alexis de Tocqueville was astounded at the ability of Americans to solve problems by forming new associations: "If it is a question of bringing to light a truth or developing a sentiment with the support of a great example, they associate," he wrote. Thomas Jefferson referred to volunteer groups as "little republics."
Today, trust in state and local government remains high – above 50 percent – compared with only 28 percent of Americans who have faith in the federal government, according to the Pew Research Center. As long as states or local laws stay within the US Constitution or federal laws, they can often better reflect the wishes of a larger proportion of voters than many divisive laws passed by Congress.
One good example: States have banded together to create the Common Core State Standards for K-12 education, aiming to replace the much-disliked federal program No Child Left Behind.
Many cities, such as Austin, Texas, and Boston are "taking on the big issues that Washington won't, or can't, solve," according to a new book, "The Metropolitan Revolution," by Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley of the Brookings Institution. A revival of cities has helped them to become sources of innovation, or places where people of diverse backgrounds can more easily share ideas and break down social barriers.
Americans do not lack for a national identity – just go to a park or parade this Fourth of July. But their problem-solving nature has led them away from seeing Washington as a fixer of all things. Many states and local governments will, of course, fumble the effort or be extremist. If they do, even they may be bypassed.
A search for community bonds and a sense of place will remain stronger than the forms in which those sentiments are expressed. The old affinities of village life find new outlets. Wal-Mart now carries local produce. The Obama White House has a community vegetable garden. And when a Midwest community is devastated by a tornado, people rediscover what binds them and rebuild in fresh and different ways.
"As soon as several of the inhabitants of the United States have conceived a sentiment or an idea that they want to produce in the world, they seek each other out; and when they have found each other, they unite," wrote de Tocqueville.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill would do well to recall these deep traditions. Like any Americans, they too can recapture that wellspring of community.
[Correction: An earlier version of this editorial cited the Governing Institute as the source of the trend cited in the lead. The source is Governing magazine, which is related to the institute but independent. The national magazine covers local and state governments.]

The economy stumbled badly during the severe winter, much more than first estimated, according to a government report, and stalled a recovery that appeared poised to take off this year.
Economists, however, see the quarterly drop more as a delay in the nation's long revival from the Great Recession. Other recent data indicate economic growth has picked up significantly this spring, putting the recovery back on a slowly improving track.
Total economic output shrank at an annual rate of 1% from January through March, the first quarterly contraction in three years and just the second since the recession ended nearly five years ago, the Commerce Department said Thursday.
The department's revised figure for what is known as gross domestic product was far worse than the 0.1% growth initially reported last month. And the revision was steeper than the 0.5% contraction economists had anticipated.
The new reading also makes it unlikely that the economy will expand this year at the 3% rate economists previously projected.
"We've got to climb out of that hole" in the first quarter, said Brian Bethune, chief economist at consulting firm Alpha Economic Foresights. "You can think of it as a temporary setback, but it is going to pull down growth projections for this year."
Investors shrugged off the report. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 65.56 points, or 0.4%, to 16,698.74.
It typically takes two straight quarters of contraction to signal a recession, and projections are for growth to return in the second quarter.
The economy expanded at a 2.6% annual rate in the fourth quarter last year. And heading into this year, the recovery appeared ready to reach what economists call takeoff velocity, which has been an elusive pace in the recovery.
"If the economy can demonstrate it can grow better than 3% on a sustained basis, it will motivate many more companies to accelerate business capital spending and also increase the pace of hiring," said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group.
This winter, bitter cold and heavier-than-normal snowfall swept across much of the nation, chilling economic activity.
The big factor in the contraction was a larger decline than originally estimated in how much businesses spent to restock their shelves.
Companies increased their stockpiles of goods by just $49 billion in the first quarter, down sharply from $111.7 billion in the fourth quarter. The falloff shaved first-quarter economic growth by 1.62 percentage points.
The weather didn't slow down consumers much. Their spending was revised up slightly to 3.1% Thursday, though still down from 3.3% in the fourth quarter. Even so, spending was strong, which bodes well for the rest of the year.
But it wasn't enough to boost first-quarter growth.
"Companies were not able to generate more inventory to offset that consumption because trucks were stuck on the road and employees couldn't get back to the factories," Baumohl said.
Still, what he called the "historically harsh winter" didn't alter the improving fundamentals of the recovery.
Baumohl forecast growth of 3.5% to 4% in the second quarter as businesses rebuild inventories. And he projects 3% growth in the second half of the year.
Alan MacEachin, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, also is expecting a "decent snapback" in growth this quarter. He's forecasting 3.7% annualized growth, with the economy then "back on track for 3% going forward."
Economists point to improving economic data in recent weeks to bolster their view that the first quarter was a weather-related anomaly.
Orders for airplanes, motor vehicles, computers and other durable goods, a key indicator of future factory output, rose in April for the third straight month, the Commerce Department said this week.
And on Thursday, the Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims dropped last week by 27,000 to 300,000. The figure was near the lowest level in seven years.
In addition, the number of people receiving unemployment benefits for the week that ended May 17, the most recent data available, fell to 2.6 million, the lowest level since November 2007.
And the robust gain of 288,000 net new jobs in April indicated that the labor market was rebounding after a winter slowdown.
But caution flags are still out on the recovery.
As bad as the winter was, it wasn't the only cause for the first-quarter contraction. Higher mortgage rates, for instance, contributed to the slowdown in the housing market. And a weaker global economy resulted in fewer exports.
Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at brokerage Sterne Agee, anticipates only 1.5% growth in the second quarter and about 2% for the latter half of the year. She cited the housing slowdown and weak wage growth for workers.
"It's more of the same," Piegza said of the economy, which has struggled to grow at much more than a 2% annual rate since the recession ended.
On Thursday, the Commerce Department also reported a big drop in corporate profits in the first quarter. Earnings fell by $213.4 billion to $1.96 trillion. In the fourth quarter, profits had increased $47.1 billion.
"When corporate profits drop by that order of magnitude, businesses are going to restrain their investment and hiring," Bethune said.
Although many fundamental aspects of the recovery remain strong, a slow global economy and an iffy housing market mean the economy still has a ways to go to get back to normal, he said.

Cold wind is whipping sand through the air from Big Red, one of the Simpson Desert's tallest, and by far most famous, sand dunes. On the dune's crest, a man is posing for a photo next to his Land Cruiser, the vehicle's sand flag dancing violently. Nearby, six people are peering at various tablets, GPS devices and maps. They're the Hema Map Patrol, adventure experts, and they're busy preparing to cross the Simpson in search of new tracks.
Originally map sellers and distributors, Hema founders Henry and Margaret Boegheim were disappointed with the poor quality of maps, and the lack of maps available, for the rugged and remote regions they loved exploring, so they began making their own.
Their son and Hema Managing Director, Rob Boegheim, says this love of the road less travelled has always been a core philosophy of Hema. "If a track exists, people expect Hema to map it," he says. "This happened to the Hay River Road in 2000. I'd heard that a few people were starting to travel through there of their own accord. When we felt the time was right we sent some mappers out and literally put the track on the map."
On this trip the idea is to find a way to reach the geographical centre of the Simpson Desert using a 50-year-old network of shot lines bulldozed through the desert during the 1950s oil exploration. It takes the Map Patrol two days to reach the area of new tracks, as they've been busy fact checking their existing maps of the QAA line. Now, the two vehicles have paused in one of the most remote areas of the desert.
Being 50-year-old tracks, they're hard to find. As Rob stands on top of one of the four-wheel drives, the others leg it around the area looking for any clues as to a shot line's whereabouts. Someone spots a vague break in the trees and we're off to see if it's driveable and to explore where it leads.
"This is the stuff that gets my blood pumping," Rob says. "I love seeing the same passion kick in to the rest of the team, because it reassures me that the Hema brand is in good, likeminded hands. We're not afraid to venture down new roads literally, nor in a business sense."
As we bump overland, Hema's HN7 navigator GPS devices record our exact path. We're recording where these 'tracks' are so that the team can return in 2015 and officially map them. Hema first used a GPS to create maps in 1996, and have since GPS plotted over 300,000km of Australian roads.
"In 1995 Dad and I started tinkering with a GPS plugged into a laptop, wondering if we could get that to work," Rob says. "In January 1996 we did the first plotting trip with a GPS. I'd have to restart the computer every half an hour because it would crash."
According to Senior Cartographer Pierre Kurth, there's more to mapping than GPS plotting. Hema cartographers are responsible for designing maps to be as user friendly as possible by selecting the best colours, fonts, symbols and lines. Physical maps have very different design requirements to digital maps, but Pierre says that going to the land that's being mapped is essential for understanding what's required of a map.
"Unless you've been out here, you can't understand the beauty of this place," he says. "We have to map these areas that we're driving through and coming here gives us a better idea of how to do that. There's landmarks you can't understand until you see them. Now that I've seen them, I'm already thinking about how to best represent them on a map."
On this trip, Hema is also confirming its maps of existing tracks are up to date. The desert's 1100 sand dunes are frequently changing, blown by the wind or cut up by unwary travellers who force new paths. Clearly visible on our HN7 is one track that has completely moved from Hema's last visit.
Rob explains that Hema physically check maps every two years and is constantly calling towns and local businesses to verify facilities and opening hours to ensure that information is as up-to-date as possible.
Our desert crossing is a slow one as the Map Patrol stop at every decent-looking bush campsite, survey post and landmark. These are what they call 'points of interest', or POIs. Here, the team gathers rich media data, in the form of 360-degree images and videos, to embed into digital maps. This provides travellers with an idea of what they're getting themselves into when crossing the Simpson.
For GIS Analyst and Fieldwork Administrator, Micah Brouwer, this collection of rich media forms the basis of his main current project. "I'm working on creating a POI database, where we collect, store and maintain this media," he says. "Google Earth and Google Maps have pushed Hema along and smartphones are driving the revolution. The challenge for Hema is to provide this information offline. People think 'well, if I can do this at home, I should be able to do this in the middle of the desert'."
Eventually, Hema wants customers to be able to click on the QAA Line, one of the desert's main tracks, and see a video of dune climbs so that they can experience exactly how rough the track is before they commit to a trip. For example, at the digital Poeppel's Corner, travellers will be able to read the interesting history of the corner and see a bunch of images. According to Micah, the process of collecting this data is still being finalised to ensure it is efficient and accurate. The more accurate the field data, the less work that needs to be done in the office, he explains.
At one point, we stop at a campsite marked on the map, but it doesn't look too inviting, so the team decides to leave it off. As we crest the next dune, the most beautiful sheltered and woody bush campsite appears, so the cameras and GPS devices come out to ensure that it's mapped, and enough data collected to make it a point of interest. These handpicked and tested campsites are one of the reasons why Hema's products are so popular, and this popularity has been evident throughout the journey. The Hema crew is frequently pulled over by 4WDers keen to chat to the famous Map Patrol. They're asked to sign maps, answer technical questions about the maps, and the HN7, and just generally have a yarn about their trip.
"It's essential to talk to our customers and get a good understanding of different types of travellers," Micah says. "Not only is this trip a way for us to capture good data, but it reminds us of what our customers want and need and how they use our products. It's also a great opportunity for us to get to know our team members."
For Rob, talking to Hema product users having a ball in the outback is what it's all about. "Our maps give people the confidence to go to a lot of places that maybe they wouldn't otherwise go," he says. "I think we've played a role in opening up the outback, which is a very, very special thing."
A 2012 Nissan Patrol and Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series, both diesels, make up the Map Patrol. Both fitted with Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx's, they're also equipped with ARB bullbars and roof racks. Inside, a collection of Hema Navigator devices are fitted to the windscreen, windows and lying loose amongst the collection of paper maps and Hema merchandise. The latest navigator model is the HN7; which the Hema team rely on to record the journey, note campsites and points of interest and accurately locate the vehicle.
Although the Hema team consists of around 30 staff, there are six on this particular field trip. Managing Director Rob Boegheim, Senior Cartographers and GIS Analysts Silke Nawrocki and Pierre Kurth, Spatial Content Manager Tim Jones, GIS and Fieldwork Administrator Micah Brouwer and Project Director George Muratidis.

So much for Coatesville having a letdown after their last-second loss to Downingtown East last week. Coatesville, and quarterback Emmett Hunt, simply destroyed a very good Unionville squad. Right now, Coatesville may be playing the best football of any area team not named Downingtown East.
Head coach Matt Ortega simplified the playbook against Unionville, spreaded the Indians defense out and went with the arm of Hunt and the hands of Chris Jones and company. Big-time statement win for the Red Raiders in a game a lot of people around the county liked Unionville in.
It seems that West Chester Rustin brings out the best in every team it plays. When you are four-time defending Ches-Mont League American Division champs, that's the way it is. Kennett was the latest to take a shot at Rustin and the Blue Demons showed they are ready for prime time, but in the end it was the Golden Knights coming back for a huge win that keeps them in good shape for the Class AAAA District 1 playoffs.
Great Valley is the next team to see if they are for real. The Patriots host Rustin this Friday in a game that will impact Great Valley's playoff hopes. Quarterback Chris Geiss will be a handful for the stout Rustin defense.
With four weeks left to play in the regular season, the matchups of West Chester Henderson's Spencer Rymiszewski against the likes of Downingtown East's Jay Harris and Chris Jones of Coatesville are going to be quite the battles. Rymiszewski is the best defensive back in the Ches-Mont, while Harris and Jones are the two best receivers, so their duels should be classics. Henderson faces Coatesville on Oct. 19 and Downingtown East on Nov. 2.
Speaking of Henderson, the two Mitten twins, Phil and Chris, seem to be in the right position on almost every play. Being sons of head coach Steve, one might expect that, but I was really impressed by the play of the duo in Henderson's 50-10 win over Bishop Shanahan.
Shanahan sophomore running back Pat Corcoran left the game with a bum shoulder and may not play this week against Coatesville. It was another tough break in a very tough year for the Eagles. but with a ton of freshman and sophomores seeing playing time right now, you may not want to see thems next year because they will be very tough. And one of my new favorites is sophomore linebacker Cody Smith, who will be a force in the Ches-Mont next season.
The Central League had a funny week with Garnet Valley going down to Springfield (Delco) and Penncrest taking out Strath Haven. If Conestoga keeps rolling along and runs the table, then they will get a good spot in the District 1 playoffs.
The road does not get any easier for Downingtown East as the Cougars travel to Delaware to take on 4-0 St. Mark's. Look for the Cougars to get the win and run the table the rest of the way.

One of the most talked-about pictures during the fall festival trifecta of Telluride, Venice and Toronto, Jonathan Glazer's "Under the Skin" has been acquired by distributor A24. The company plans to release the film, starring Scarlett Johansson, next year.
Based on the novel by Michel Faber, the film stars Johansson as an alien being who has taken human form roaming Scotland in search of victims she needs to survive. The film's unusual visual style comes from the fact that at least some of its action was shot "candid camera" style with Johansson interacting with real people; that footage mixed with scenes of her with actors.
In an interview with The Times' John Horn in Telluride, Glazer, director of "Sexy Beast" and "Birth," explained his unorthodox shooting method.
"The core of the story that I was clearly interested in was her journey — and looking at our world as an alien planet through her eyes," Glazer said. "What I needed to discover was a filmmaking language — to paint the character with credibility. It's a tall order to paint an alien in human form.
"The key thing for me — the way I understood it would work — was to shoot her in disguise and use the idea of dropping her into the world and shooting her in a way, with the hidden cameras, that wasn't calling attention to itself, so we are really photographing behavior."
A24 has made itself a home to many bright young actresses. The company had success earlier this year with the release of Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers," starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson. Its "The Spectacular Now," with Shailene Woodley and Brie Larson, has been a modest hit this summer. The company also released Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring," starring Emma Watson, and Sally Potter's "Ginger & Rosa," starring Elle Fanning.
INTERACTIVE: From Toronto to the Oscars? Well...
A24 also just picked up Steven Knight's thriller "Locke," starring Tom Hardy, following its premiere in Venice.
The recent teaser trailer for "Under the Skin" is below:

Dáin's Halls
(Redirected from Dáin's halls)
|Dáin's Halls
|General Information
|Somewhere in the Grey Mountains
|People and History
|Durin's Folk
|War of the Dwarves and Dragons
Dáin's halls was a name used for the halls that formed the capital of the Grey Mountains, the name coming from the Dwarf-king Dáin I.[1]
[edit] History
The Halls of Dáin were probably originally founded by the first exiled dwarves from Khazad-dûm who had fled the city because of the Balrog. However because there is no information on the halls, it can only be assumed that it was the capital of Durin's folk at the time.
In T.A. 2589[2] Dáin was killed by a great Cold-Drake along with his son Frór at the entrance to the city. A year later, most of Durin's Folk abandoned the mountains, and left for Erebor and the Iron Hills.[1]
It is possible that either under Dáin II's or Thorin III's reign that this city was retaken.

This holiday season, please remember the homeless dogs and cats at the animal shelter.
While most of us are spending time with our families, these animals have no family, and no home, to call their own. Here are some ways you can help this holiday season:
Most pets that arrive at shelters and rescues are frightened in their new surroundings.
And sadly, many are forced to sit and sleep on hard cement floors that are hot in the summer and cold in the winter, since shelters and rescues don't normally have the budget to supply soft bedding.

Lampson's bid for U.S. rep fails
What was widely considered one of the tightest races in the state proved to be not so close as Beaumont native Democrat Nick Lampson was defeated by Pearland businessman and Republican Randy Weber.
Results from late Tuesday night show that 54 percent or 117,573 voters chose Weber, while 45 percent of voters supported Lampson in the polls.
The Democratic candidate conceded with all precincts in Jefferson and Brazoria counties and one precinct in Galveston County reporting.
Galveston County results were delayed because of a polling machine problems that pushed the closing of the polls an hour and 54 minutes past 7 p.m.
The recently redrawn Texas District 14, which leans Republican, has been represented by Ron Paul, who did not run for re-election but made a bid for the presidency instead.
Lampson had represented District 9 from 1996 to 2005, when it was redrawn to include parts of Harris County.
Weber's jab throughout the race was that Lampson couldn't "take a hint" after Lampson lost two previous campaigns.
"I'm deeply honored that voters have chosen me to be their voice in Congress," Weber said from his election night headquarters in League City. "I will serve my constiutents with integrity and full respect for the office and what it represents." Throughout the day on Tuesday, Lampson traveled around Galveston, visiting churches and later rallying the vote at Lamar University.
Weber has served as the Alvin representative in the Texas House since 2008, touting his conservative values and his status as a small business owner.
He started his air conditioning company, Weber's Air & Heat, in 1981 and served on the Pearland City Council from 1990 to 1996.
During his tenure as a state lawmaker, he voted for reduction in spending for public schools and other state agencies, prohibition of state funding for facilities that perform abortions and stricter voter ID requirements, among other hot-button issues.
As a U.S. Representative, Weber has said he plans to continue his conservative voting record.
"Tonight, the voters said they wanted to go in a direction that will put our country on the right track," said Weber.
Both candidates have raised almost $2 million through Sept. 30. Lampson's congressional campaign reported raising $969,350 during the time period - about $200,000 more than Weber.
In Beaumont, big names offered support to the candidates: former President Bill Clinton recommended Lampson to more than a thousand people gathered at Lamar University last month.
Four days later, Senate candidate and Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz stumped for Weber at Madison's on Dowlen.
Rick Perry made an appearance with Weber the day after in Friendswood.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) � North Carolina lawmakers have filed a resolution asserting that the state rejects federal court rulings that regulate the establishment of religion.
Two Rowan County lawmakers proposed the resolution in a filing Monday, along with 10 co-sponsors. Their proposed resolution says the state would refuse to acknowledge the authority of federal courts' rulings on religion in North Carolina or rulings on any constitutional issue.
Chris Brook of the North Carolina American Civil Liberties Union says it's unfortunate the state is re-litigating issues that have been fully resolved for centuries.
Republican Reps. Carl Ford and Harry Warren sponsored the bill. They didn't immediately returned calls from The Associated Press.
The ACLU has sued Rowan County because it says the board of commissioners opens its meetings with explicitly Christian prayers.

IES Names New Adult Education Research Center
Funding for a five-year research center for adult education has been awarded by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES). This is the first research and development center funded by IES and dedicated to the reading development of adult learners reading at the third- to eighth-grade levels.
This grant effort, the Center for the Study of Adult Literacy (CSAL): Developing Instructional Approaches Suited to the Cognitive and Motivational Needs for Struggling Adults, is a collaboration involving four research sites: Atlanta, Ga.; Memphis, Tenn.; and Toronto and St. Catharines, Canada. The center will complete three projects:
- A series of exploratory studies will investigate a wide array of reading, motivation, and cognition assessments to clarify the appropriateness of commonly used assessments and the underlying cognitive and motivational profiles of the target population.
- A reading intervention for struggling learners will be designed and piloted. The intervention will include a Web-based, animated e-tutor designed to promote engagement and allow for greater individualization for students. A pilot study of the intervention will be conducted with about 300 adults in authentic adult education settings in Georgia and Toronto. The students will receive some 100 hours of instruction along with a series of assessments.
- Dissemination of findings to keep practitioners, researchers and policy makers informed will occur through different media such as a website, training opportunities and webinars.
Daphne Greenberg of Georgia State University, the principal investigator, stated, "I am very excited to receive funding to explore the needs of adults who read below the high school level. I am thankful to IES for making research in this area a priority and look forward to five years of collecting and analyzing data on this under-researched group. I am also grateful to all the adult literacy programs in Georgia, Memphis and Toronto that have already committed to collaborating with us, and look forward as new programs join our research efforts."
Deputy Assistant Secretary Johan Uvin of OVAE expressed his enthusiasm for the center, saying, "We know from the recent National Academies report that there are many research gaps in our field. The new adult education center is primed to make great strides in helping us understand better ways to educate adults. We also know, from experience how important it is to pay attention to keeping learners engaged and motivated so they persist in the difficult task of literacy development in the midst of busy adult lives. That the center will be focusing on this topic, and employing cutting-edge technology in the intervention, should prove rewarding in the knowledge it will provide us."
Educators Learn Together During "Connected Educator Month"
The month of August has been designated Connected Educator Month by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
The Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology (OET) is collaborating with the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and more than 50 organizations in this month-long online event, inviting teachers and other education professionals to use online collaboration and learning environments to enrich their knowledge, skills and practices.
Announcing this initiative, Secretary Duncan said August will be "a month-long opportunity to learn together in vibrant online environments …[and] to advance personal professional learning networks and support faculty everywhere."
Duncan pointed out "Now, more than ever we need strong leaders … to guide the country in transforming education and vastly improving the opportunity to learn for every American. …[E]very educator needs to be connected with the best digital content, tools, and resources – in order to enliven the learning environment for students, and to fully connect with peers and experts."
Connected Educator Month is part of OET's Connected Educators initiative to strengthen online communities of practice in education. All through August OET will support informal, online, social, and professional learning for educators.
There will be coordinated opportunities to participate in activities in dozens of online locations to develop skills and advance learning, including through forums, webinars and contests. Visit the Connected Educator website (http://www.connectededucators.org.) and resource page (http://connectededucators.org/cem-resources-for-participating-orgs) to get connected with other educators.

Google Routing Around The iPhone App Store?
from the sneaky-and-smart dept
With all of the iPhone App Store press love these days, it's almost easy to forget that Apple refused to allow any outside apps on the phone when it first launched -- instead, telling developers that anything they wanted to do can and should be done via a browser, creating mini-apps that were all web-technology-based. Of course, now that the App Store gets so much attention, plenty of folks have forgotten about designing web-based apps for the iPhone... but not everyone. Google has designed a new version of Gmail that routes around Apple's command-and-control App Store process by going direct via the web. While the article linked here seems to make this out to be a big deal, it seems like the only really big deal is the fact that everyone forgot this was the way Apple originally planned for apps to be handled on the phone.

LOS ANGELES, OCT 8 (REUTERS)—Actors Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are separating after 30 years of marriage, DeVito's spokesman said on Monday.
Stan Rosenfeld said the pair had split but gave no details.
DeVito and Perlman married in 1982 and have three adult children. The duo, both known for playing characters with sharp tongues, acted alongside each other in the 1978-82 TV comedy Taxi, in which she had a recurring role as his character's girlfriend, and in the 1996 children's film Matilda.
Perlman is best known for her role as sarcastic actress Carla Tortelli in the 1980s hit comedy Cheers, for which she won four Emmy Awards.
DeVito, who won an Emmy for his turn as the despotic dispatcher in Taxi, currently stars in the FX comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
The pair also founded TV and movie production company Jersey Films, whose titles include Pulp Fiction and Erin Brockovich.

Compliance Reviews and Other Proactive Initiatives
In addition to resolving complaints, OCR initiates compliance reviews and takes other proactive steps to focus on specific compliance problems that are particularly acute or national in scope. In general, targeted compliance reviews and proactive initiatives maximize the impact of OCR's resources and complement the complaint resolution process. Experience indicates that these strategic activities benefit large numbers of students through policy or program changes by recipients that are designed to ensure compliance with the civil rights laws.
OCR initiated 74 compliance reviews in FY 2003 and brought 14 reviews to successful resolution, some of which had been started in previous years. Compliance review sites are selected based on various sources of information, including survey data and information provided by parents, education groups, media, community organizations and the public. In FY 2003, OCR conducted compliance reviews on the following issues:
- ensuring that minority and English language learner students are not inappropriately placed in special education programs; and
- ensuring that state agencies have designated Title IX coordinators, developed and disseminated antidiscrimination procedures, and implemented grievance procedures.

Jankowski, Giroux, Goulet and Smith Take Gross at VT PGA Event
WILLISTON–Former Jay Peak Club Pro and Current Stowe Mountain Club Assistant Pro Dave Jankowski teamed up with a trio of North Country high school golfers, Alex Giroux, Katie Goulet and Tyler Smith, to play at the Vermont PGA Pro-Junior Champions event at the Williston Country Club on June 30th.The end result was an extremely satisfying one for the quartet, as they shot a 137, edging out teams from Vermont National and Country Club of Barre by one stroke to take home the Gross title."It was a great day with good weather," said Jankowski. "The kids enjoyed it, competed well, and their conduct at the event was exceptional."The win earned the three youngsters brand new Vermont PGA Pro-Junior golf bags.Jankowski and NCU trio are no strangers, as Dave took the boys to this event two years ago, and he started giving Katie lessons four years ago."You can see how hard they have worked and how much their game has developed," Jankowski said about the high schoolers' golf evolution. Dave credits a lot of the kids' success to not only their dedication to the game, but to the Junior NEK Tour, which gives the area's youth golfers a chance to really develop their game by playing at a variety of courses in the area and interacting with, and competing against, a variety of opponents."You can see the experience they get from competing at all of the different venues of the Tour," Jankowski said.Dave himself had a pretty good day at the event, as he shot a match-low 73 to take home $128.00 in prize in money as well as getting his shot closest to the hole of the 4th hole.The Orleans Country Club also had a team at the event, as Club Pro Josh Olney teamed with Mason Robinson Jr., Olivia King, and Sam King to finish 9th in the net and 13th in the gross.Looking ahead, The 2014 NEK Junior Tour will kick off on the 10th of July at the Orleans Country Club with a free clinic starting at 12:00, followed by the opening match at 1:00.Two days later on July 12th, there will be a New England PGA Junior Tour event at the Stowe Country Club.It will start with a junior jamboree at 9:00, followed by the NEJrPGA match at 12:00.

About Mountain Running
Man's need to run quickly over both short and long distances is as old as humankind. To be fast helped him to survive, to catch an animal for food, to escape from danger and natural catastrophes, to be successful in war or, as in the case of the first marathon, to take messages.
And where did this hunter, warrior, messenger live? Probably somewhere in the hilly countryside. There were no roads, no tunnels to avoid the mountains, no bridges to cross rivers. He therefore had to run over hills, over mountains, through forests, across rivers as fast as he could. He was not running for medals, or money, or trophies or glory, he was running to survive.
Today this need is no longer necessary, but there is bred into us a desire to run in the nature and over the mountains and so we have our mountain running competitions, where medals, trophies and money replace the historic basic need of survival.

I'm beginning to think that the main reason Greg Ford and Terry Lennon did Daffy Duck's Quackbusters was to show the world the right way to do a Halloween-themed Looney Tunes compilation project. At least in that one, things actually happen for a reason.

Geez, how disjointed----no explanation for how Bugs got the umpire's uniform, or half of the stuff that's happening (the mice terrorizing Porky and Sylvester are the result of Witch Hazel's spell?!). The scenes of Bugs grinning broadly at the end and of him being turned back from a Hyde-bunny to normal looked rather, well, bizarrely drawn...

New LEGO set: Women of NASA
LEGOs might be low-tech, but the idea for the toy bricks' newest set reaches for the stars.
The Danish toy company announced the fan-designed "Women of NASA," featuring female scientists who played a major role with the U.S. space agency.
The idea came from science writer Maia Weinstock, who wanted to celebrate women in STEM professions, according to the LEGO Ideas blog. The design came out of a field of 12 projects.
The set will release late this year or early in 2018.

Everblue Training for Building Analyst & Envelope Professional Combo courses include classroom training, field training, written exam and field exam. This course is also available to HERS Raters. Students have the option of just taking the Building Analyst or Envelope Professional portions separately. You can complete your energy auditor training and testing for BPI certification in 5 days, and since the skill set is transferable to so many areas including energy auditing, weatherization, insulation, heating and air conditioning, home construction, home inspection, air quality abatement, as well as design and engineering, it is attractive to a growing number of people. The Envelope portion of the course will prepare you to understand not only how to analyze a home, but help you to understand why the process is so important. Every home is different and it is important to understand not only what is happening, but why problems related to the building envelope such as moisture, ice dams, mildew and drafts were created in the first place.

When I was young, I read a lot of nautical adventure stories, the kind where some hapless or spoiled boy ends up on a ship and becomes a man by dint of hard work and sacrifice.
So I felt a twinge of jealousy as I interviewed Shawn Merrill. He is neither hapless nor spoiled, and at age 14 is well on his way to manhood. He did, however, spend time on a ship this summer: a 137-foot schooner called the Roseway.

Planarity is a rather addictive game developed by John Tantalo. The idea is that you're given a planar graph, drawn with lots of crossings, and your goal is to move vertices around so as to recover a planar embedding. The game can get surprisingly challenging, and has even spawned a photoshop tribute called, 'Planarity, My Anti-drug'.
If we put on our theory hats, the first question that pops out is: how many vertices might you need to move in order to move from an embedding of a planar graph to a planar embedding ? This process, of moving vertices around to remove crossings, is called untangling. Technically, H is an untangling of G if H is crossing free and is isomorphic as G (in other words, untangling might allow more general moves than the sliding allowed by Planarity). A vertex of G was said to be fixed if it was mapped (by the isomorphism) to a vertex of H with the same coordinates.
Back in 1998, it was first asked whether a graph could be made planar while keeping a constant fraction of vertices fixed. The answer, shown by Pach and Tardos, was no, via a graph in which at most roughly n^{2/3} of the vertices could stay fixed (which is one way of explaining the difficulty of Planarity). Of course, the next question was whether it was the case that all planar graphs could be untangled by fixing at least some n^epsilon vertices.
A recent paper by Bose, Dujmovic, Hurtado, Langerman, Morin and Wood answers this question in the affirmative, showing that any geometric planar graph can be untangled while keeping at least n^{1/4} vertices fixed. The proofs involved are intricate, but are graph-theoretic and "elementary" in nature.

Number: 111- 23
Date: October 29, 2009
President Signs P.L. 111-84, the
"National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010"
On October 28, 2009, President Obama signed into law H.R. 2647 , the " National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010" (P.L. 111-84). The legislation predominantly provides for military appropriations. However, several provisions related to Federal employee benefits are contained within the bill.
The bill contains the following provisions of interest to SSA:
• Allows the head of a Federal agency to waive the dual compensation rules for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employee's Retirement System (FERS) annuitants who are re-employed in order to fulfill functions critical to the mission of the agency or any component of the agency. The waiver cannot be applied to annuitants working more than 520 hours in a six month period, 1040 hours in a 12-month period, or for more than a total of 3120 hours. Limits apply to the total number of individuals hired under the waiver. The waiver authority terminates 5 years after enactment. The Office of Personnel Management will promulgate regulations for the administration of this provision.
• Allows the head of a Federal agency to waive the annual limitations on premium and aggregate pay for Federal civilian employees working overseas.
• Extends to Federal employees retired under the CSRS the opportunity to work for the Department of Defense and collect an unreduced CSRS pension.
• Extends to Federal employees who separated before March 1, 1991, eligibility to receive an actuarially reduced annuity under CSRS. (Old law limit on eligibility was October 1, 1990.)
• Provides Federal employees1 covered under the FERS with credit for unused sick leave for pension computation purposes. The credit is phased-in, with FERS awards before December 31, 2013, receiving 50 percent of unused sick leave. After 2013, 100 percent of sick leave will be credited.
• Allows Federal employees under FERS to redeposit withdrawn contributions, with interest, into their retirement account. The return of these withdrawals allows the additional service (upon which the withdrawal was based) to be included in the calculation of pensions.
• Provides Federal employees2 with retirement credit for service performed in the District of Columbia , to be used in the calculation of FERS or CSRS pensions, as applicable.
• Provisions are effective upon enactment, October 28, 2009.
1 Sick leave credit will not be included in pension calculations for employees who served as Presidential appointees during periods of excepted service.
2 Credit for service will not be included in pension calculations for employees who served judicial or related appointments, during periods where the employee served in an appointed position.

All News Releases By Date
Conn., Maine and N.H. Share $1.7 Million EPA Funding For Property Revitalization
Release Date: 06/12/2008
Contact Information: EPA Public Affairs, (617) 918-1010
(Boston, Mass. – June 12, 2008) – Three New England states, Connecticut, Maine and New Hampshire, were among sixteen state and local governments selected by EPA for "supplemental grants" to help return "brownfields" properties to productive use.
Of the nationwide funding – more than $6.3 million – the three New England state groups will reap $1.7 million for brownfields cleanup revolving loans. Brownfields are sites where expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
"For years now, EPA's brownfields grants have planted the seeds for environmental and economic success in New England," said Robert Varney, regional administrator for EPA's New England office. "These funds will help nurture problem properties into sources of local pride."
The following New England state and local governments have been selected to receive the brownfields supplemental money:
City of Bridgeport ($500,000)
City of Bath ($400,000)
City of Brewer ($300,000)
New Hampshire
New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services ($500,000)
EPA's Brownfields program provides annual funding opportunities for state, local and tribal governments to make low interest loans and subgrants that fund cleanup activities at brownfields sites. Since 1994, EPA has provided nearly $170 million in grants and other funding for site evaluations, job training and cleanup loan programs to dozens of communities and agencies in New England.

Recipe: Make Nordic 'Glogg' mulled wine at home
December 9, 2014 | 2 Comments
[button type="default" size="large" link="http://www.scandikitchen.co.uk/shop/"]Shop our full range of Scandi food here [/button]
Glögg is an essential part of Christmas all over Scandinavia. This is recipe was created by my sister-in-law Annika in her Gothenburg kitchen. It's so very easy to make glögg at home – give it a go. You can reduce or increase the sugar to your liking – and do play around with adding and taking some spices away to make your own signature mulled wine.
Serve Nordic 'Glögg' mulled wine warm in smaller glasses with raisins and almonds.
- 1 bottle red wine (quality doesn't matter)
- 1-2 sticks cinnamon
- 5g dried root ginger
- 5g dried Seville orange peel (or other orange if you can't get Seville)
- 7 green cardamom pods
- 15-16 whole cloves
- 80g/3oz sugar
- To serve: flaked almonds and raisins
- Splash of either vodka, aquavit, rum or cognac (optional)
- Pour the wine into a pan, add the spices and heat to around 80C/176F, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for at least an hour.
- Strain the mixture and return the mulled wine to the bottle – use a funnel to make life easier for yourself. The wine can be kept for around a week.
- To serve, pour the wine into a saucepan and heat it.
- Place a few flaked almonds and raisins in the bottom of your serving cups, and pour the glögg over the mixture.
- If you want to give your glögg a kick, add a splash of either vodka, aquavit, rum or cognac just after you've reheated the wine.
