This function runs a program in the background, and logs all output to an automatically created logfile. That way, you can still get at the output without it clogging up your terminal.
Throw fork() and this:
for prog in firefox kate konqueror ;do alias $prog="fork $prog";done
into your bashrc, so that they'll automatically run out of the way.
Show Sample Output
You can't stand programs x, y, and z. Remove all trace of their existence by adding this function to your config. It will remove the cruft, the settings, and such and such. This function doesn't even give a damn about you trying to remove programs that don't exist: it'll just for loop to the next one on your hit list. Show Sample Output
Have netcat listen on port 8000, point browser to http://localhost:8000/ and you see the information sent. netcat terminates as soon as your browser disconnects.
I tested this command on my Fedora box but linuxrawkstar pointed out that he needs to use
nc -l -p 8000
instead. This depends on the netcat version you use. The additional '-p' is required by GNU netcat that for example is used by Debian but not by the OpenBSD netcat port used by my Fedora system.

'watch' repeatedly (default every 2 seconds, -n 1 => every second) runs a command (here ':', a shorthand for 'true'), displays the output (here nothing) and the date and time of the last run. I thought it to be obvious but it seemingly is not: to exit use Ctrl-C.
Finds all files of a certain name and reports all line with the string. Very simple. Show Sample Output
If you have lots of remote hosts sitting "behind" an ssh proxy host, then there is a special-case use of "rsynch" that allows one to easily copy directories and files across the ssh proxy host, without having to do two explicit copies: the '-e' option allows for a replacement "rsh" command. We use this option to specify an "ssh" tunnel command, with the '-A' option that causes authentication agent requests to be forwarded back to the local host. If you have ssh set up correctly, the above command can be done without any passwords being entered.
If your user has sudo on the remote box, you can rsync data as root without needing to login as root. This is very helpful if the remote box does not allow root to login over SSH (which is a common security restriction).
Many Mac OS X programs, especially those in Microsoft:Office, create ASCII files with lines terminated by CRs (carriage returns). Most Unix programs expect lines separated by NLs (newlines). This little command makes it trivial to convert them. Show Sample Output
This little command (function) shows the CSV header fields (which are field names separated by commas) as an ordered list, clearly showing the fields and their order. Show Sample Output
Coming back to a project directory after sometime elsewhere? Need to know what the most recently modified files are? This little function "t" is one of my most frequent commands. I have a tcsh alias for it also: alias t 'ls -ltch \!* | head -20' Show Sample Output
Ever wanted to find the most recently modified files, but couldn't remember exactly where they were in a project directory with many subdirectories? The "find" command, using a combination of "-mtime -N" and "-depth -D" can be used to find those files. If your directory structure isn't very deep, just omit the "-depth -D", but if your directory structure is very deep, then you can limit the depth of the traversal using "-depth -D", where "D" is the maximum number of directory levels to descend. Show Sample Output
Finds all directories containing more than 99MB of files, and prints them in human readable format. The directories sizes do not include their subdirectories, so it is very useful for finding any single directory with a lot of large files. Show Sample Output
In this case, I'm getting the package version for 'redhat-release', but of course, this can be applied to any package installed on the filesystem.

So you don't have to
Ben Pile glances at Lewandowsky's new "paper" so you don't have to.
Ultimately, 'research' of this kind will bring the academy down with it, because drawing attention to, and publishing Lewandowsky's work means demonstrating to the world the fact that quite often, academic researchers are as petty-minded, 'idologically-motivated', and pig ignorant as the worst of online commentary.
More so, I would have thought. And all paid for by you, gentle reader.

More faces join the county election race: Locals vote in June
Mono County's three open county supervisor district seats are getting crowded as potential candidates add their names to the list.
South County's District 2 Supervisor Hap Hazard will be challenged by Fred Stump, Long Valley Fire Chief, after Stump decided Thursday to make a run against the two-term incumbent.
"I believe the people of the district deserve a choice and I believe I will make a good choice for them," Stump said. "I look forward to talking to them about why I believe this."
He said he delayed making the decision until now in order to make sure some health issues he was dealing with were resolved.
They are now resolved, he said, and he is free to commit to the race and the four-year supervisor term if he wins.
Hazard has formally filed to run again, Mono County elections officials confirmed Tuesday.
District 2 includes all the communities south of Mammoth, as well as the Tri-Valley communities.
North County's District 4 currently has three candidates vying for the seat that will be vacated by Tim Hansen after he was redistricted out of the district (Hansen has been redistricted out of District 4 and into District 3 and has announced he will not run for that seat, currently held by Supervisor Vikki Bauer).
The Mono County Elections office confirmed a third candidate for District 3 recently: Bridgeport resident Jan Huggans. She pulled papers Feb. 7 for signatures in lieu of the filing fee, joining candidates Bob Peters and Tim Fesko in the race.
Huggans has been a public servant for many years, serving on the Mono County Planning Commission, the Bridgeport Public Utilities District (current) and the Bridgeport Regional Planning Advisory Committee (current). She is a member of the Bridgeport Rancher's Organization and the Bi-State Sage Grouse Working Group. She is also a business owner with a property rental business in North County and into Nevada.
District 4 encompasses the area of Mono County that lies north of Conway Summit and extends to the Nevada border, including the communities of Bridgeport, Walker, Coleville and the Antelope Valley area. Redistricting last year also added some sections of Mammoth to the district for the first time, including areas on the north side of Main Street.
In District 3, former aquaculturist Tim Alpers recently announced he will challenge Bauer, and has pulled papers for signatures in lieu of filing fees, according to Mono County elections officials.
Bauer has now formally filed to run again, the county confirmed.
Judge Stan Eller is running unopposed, with the filing date for judge candidates past.
Voting takes place in June.

He ditched the team when there was no other person to take the burden of captaincy unexpectedly when the team really needed a leader when Sri Lanka lost the WC Final. As captain he should have stayed on till there was a proper person to take over..he just quit purely for selfish reasons. That's not right as a leader.
A person is chosen to represent the country and that should be the highest honour any countryman should experience. On top of that he was the captain. He should make decisions which should be good for the team/country not him self.

The lights are on
At the end of November, Nintendo announced the existence and Canadian launch of the new Wii Mini (pictured above). Console redesigns are nothing new, as they've been frequent occurrences for most popular systems. Take a look below to see the second (and sometimes third and fourth) comings of several consoles.
If you grew up playing NES, you were most likely using the model on the left. Considering that the top loader model (right) didn't debut until 1993, many gamers had already moved on to the 16-bit era of gaming. In addition to the new method of inserting game cartridges, it also introduced a new controller that resembled the shape of the one used for the SNES.
Game Boy
With a size that many compared to a brick, the original Game Boy was technically portable but certainly not ideal for pockets. The aptly named Game Boy Pocket rectified this problem with a drastically reduced size that was far better suited for on-the-go gaming. In addition to being smaller and lighter, it also took less batteries than its big brother.
Sega made several changes to the casing of the Genesis between the first and second versions, from changing the power switch to a button to omitting the volume slider. When the Genesis 3 (far right) was introduced in 1998 (well into the Playstation/Nintendo 64 era), it featured the low price of $49.99 and a dramatically smaller frame. Unfortunately for cheaters, this version was the only one that wasn't compatible with the Game Genie.
Super Nintendo
Like most of the console redesigns on this list, the SNS-101 model (right) of the Super Nintendo was smaller than its predecessor. It launched in October of 1997 for $99.95, and included either Yoshi's Island, A Link to the Past, Kirby Super Star, or Tetris Attack, depending on which retailer you purchased it from. In addition to the cosmetic changes, the redesign also eliminated the eject button.

Copycat Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies double stuffed with extra thick vanilla filling.
Because I'm a big believer in homemade junk food.
{This is for my Baking Partners Group. Our theme this month was cookies and this recipe was my choice. Our other choices were chocolate cream cheese and cornflake cookies. Please drop by and check out all my lovely Baking Partners creations.}
While they aren't exactly like real Oreos, they are reminiscent of them. From what I can remember. Not one Oreo cookie has crossed my lips in at least 6 or 7 years. Maybe longer. They were never my favorites. I'm more of a soft cookie girl.
I really don't understand the widespread love for them.
Don't hate me.
Or send me hate mail.
How can a homemade cookie taste exactly like a mass-processed, machine-made, chemically-filled, preservative-laden, high fructose filled one?
They can't.
It's not humanly possible to make an exact replica in a home kitchen. And who would want to? Gross. That goes against everything I stand for. I believe in baking from scratch with the highest quality ingredients I can afford. I'm here to inspire you to do the same.
While this version is chock full of butter and sugar it's still infinitely better than the packaged version. If you're craving the real things but don't want to fill your body with a highly processed cookie this one's for you!
They're easier to make than you might think. the dough and filling comes together fast. The time consuming part is rolling out the dough. It's also the funnest part. Depending on the season you can make different shapes – hearts, stars, pumpkins, christmas trees.
Double the filling recipe if you want to "double stuf" them.
Copycat Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies double stuffed with extra thick vanilla filling.
- Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed cream together butter, both sugars, salt, baking powder, baking soda, espresso powder and vanilla extract about 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolks one at a time.
- Scrape down sides of the mixer. Add flour and cocoa, start mixer on low and mix until combined, the mixture will be thick. Scrape down sides of bowl and knead gently. Form a ball then flatten into a disc.
- Roll out immediately or refrigerate up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before using.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly sprinkle sifted cocoa onto a counter or work surface and roll dough out to 1/8" thickness. Slide a thin metal spatula under the dough to help prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Cut out circles with a 2" round cutter or shapes like hearts or pumpkins for Halloween. Lift with the metal spatula and place on cookie sheet, close together is ok because they don't spread much.
- Knead the scraps of dough together, re-roll and cut out until all or most of the dough is used.
- Bake 10 - 12 minutes, or until firm to the touch. If your oven cooks unevenly rotate the cookie sheets halfway through. Allow to cool on baking sheet 5 minutes then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Meanwhile make the filling. With a hand or stand mixer cream together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt on medium speed 5-7 minutes until light, creamy and fluffy.
- You can use a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, a ziploc bag with a hole in the corner to pipe the frosting on or simply spoon it into the centers, place the top on and smoosh it down in the center. 1 teaspoon of filling = regular oreos or 2 teaspoons or more = double stuff.
- After filling transfer the cookies to an airtight container and refrigerate for several hours to solidify the filling, give it the proper texture and bond it with the wafers.

After having a very recent experience of being the focus of a few rather puerile, insulting comments from a family member on a social networking site, I thought that this would be a good area of etiquette to explore since it seems we don't typically discuss this here and when we do, many people feel justified in executing retaliatory rudeness. My choice was to not respond to the comments publicly. I may eventually do so in private but there is no way I'm going to get into a public pissing contest with all the relatives watching and drag myself down to the other person's gutter level. I honestly do not think people are stupid and when someone acts ugly and obnoxious while the other person refuses to play that game, people will rightly conclude who is the real jerk. If both people were to start wallowing in the argument pigpen with each other, they both lose, imo.
So would that make this the "Icy Glare of DeathTM" category?I really hope so
Quote from: Inigo Montoya on March 23, 2009, 01:31:12 PMSo would that make this the "Icy Glare of DeathTM" category?I really hope so I think it can just be a blank stare, too. It doesn't have to be an icy glare. Not jumping into the fray can sometimes really be just standing there with no expression at all and letting the other person wallow in the mud by themselves. The "innocent bystander" approach.
Sometimes this is the best not only to transmit the utter inappropriateness of what the offender said, but to remain polite yourself. I utilize it often.(Of course, sometimes there are moments of rudeness that just defy human language...)

Han Silver-Plated Bronze Mirror - H.840

The overextension of the labor force during the Qin Dynasty would result in a popular uprising against the empire. In 206 B.C., Liu Bang, a Qin official, led an army composed of peasants and some lower nobility to victory and established his own Dynasty in place, the Han. However, unlike the Qin, the Han would unify China and rule virtually uncontested for over four hundred years. It is during this time that much of what is now considered to be Chinese culture was first actualized. The bureaucracy started under the Qin was now firmly established. The vast lands of China were now under the firm grip of a central authority. Confucianism became the state ideology although the worship of Taoist deity remained widespread, both among the peasants and the aristocracy. Ancient histories and texts were analyzed and rewritten to be more objective while new legendary myths and cultural epics were transcribed.
The Han era can also be characterized as one of the greatest artistic outpourings in Chinese history, easily on par with the glories of their Western contemporaries, Greece and Rome. Wealth pouring into China from trade along the Silk Road initiated a period of unprecedented luxury. Stunning bronze vessels were created, decorated with elegant inlaid gold and silver motifs. Jade carvings reached a new level of technical brilliance. But perhaps the artistic revival of the Han Dynasty is nowhere better represented than in their sculptures and vessels that were interred with deceased nobles. Called mingqi, literally meaning "spirit articles," these works depicted a vast array of subject, from warriors and horses to ovens and livestock, which were buried alongside the dead for use in the next world, reflecting the Chinese belief that the afterlife was an extension of our earthy existence. Thus, quite logically, the things we require to sustain and nurture our bodies in this life would be just as necessary in our next life.
The Han Dynasty, like the Zhou before it, is divided into two distinct periods, the Western Han (206 B.C.-9 A.D.) and the Eastern Han (23-220 A.D.) with a brief interlude. Towards the end of the Western period, a series of weak emperors ruled the throne, controlled from behind the scenes by Wang Mang and Huo Guang, both relatives of empresses. They both exerted enormous influence over the government and when the last emperor suddenly passed away, Mang became ruling advisor, seizing this opportunity to declare his own Dynasty, the Xin, or "New." However, another popular uprising began joined by the members of the Liu clan, the family that ruled the Han Dynasty, the Xin came to a quick end and the Eastern Han was established in its place with its capital at Loyang (Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han, was completely destroyed).
However, even as Chinese influence spread across Southeastern Asia into new lands, the Eastern Han Dynasty was unable to recreate the glories of the Western Period. In fact, this period can be characterized by a bitter power struggle amongst a group of five consortial clans. These families sought to control the young, weak emperors with their court influence. Yet, as the emperors became distrustful of the rising power of the clans, they relied upon their eunuchs to defend them, often eliminating entire families at a time. During the Western Han, the Emperor was viewed as the center of the universe. However, this philosophy slowly disintegrated under the weak, vulnerable rulers of the Eastern Han, leading many scholars and officials to abandon the court. Eventually, the power of the Han would completely erode, ending with its dissolution and the beginning of the period known as the "Three Kingdoms."
Today, when we think of mirrors, we think of a thin layer of reflective metal, usually a combination of tin and mercury, covered in a layer of protective glass. However, the modern mirror was an innovation of 16th Century Italian craftsmen. Before that, since ancient time, mirrors of highly polished bronze were used. Bronze mirrors themselves were introduced into China during the 6th Century B.C. They were used not only as functional articles but as sacred objects filled with their own powers. The custom of placing mirrors in a tomb originated around the 4th Century B.C. The Chinese believed that mirrors had the ability not only to reflect, but also to radiate light, and thus illuminate the tomb for eternity. Often multiple mirrors were entombed, not alongside the other funerary objects, but close to the body of the deceased.During the Han Dynasty, the iconography of the decorations that adorn the backsides of mirrors was inextricably linked to their philosophical beliefs and perception of the universe. For instance, on this example, echoes of this symbolism are visible. The outer flat rim symbolizes the heavens while the four stylized dragon heads may represent the four cardinal directions and the quadrants of the universe. A hole has been drilled into the large central boss. A chord would have been wound through here to serve as a handle. We can imagine a gorgeous young princess holding this mirror in her hands almost two thousand years ago. She would have gazed into the finely polished surface and saw her own image reflected. While her own beauty would have surely pleased her, perhaps her was even more admiring of the stunning decorative motif that embellishes the back. - (H.840)

Warriors' forward David Lee was named the Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday, the NBA announced.
Lee averaged 24.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in four games last week — all victories by a Golden State team that's 5-0 on its current road trip and has won nine straight.
Lee had at least 20 points and eight rebounds in each game to win a player of the week award for the fourth time in his career and third time with the Warriors. The two-time All-Star joins Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and Baron Davis as the only players to win three such awards in a Warriors' uniform.
Lee and the Warriors return to action Tuesday when they face the Milwaukee Bucks at 5 p.m.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson has spent a lot of time lobbying for Stephen Curry to make the All-Star team but agreed recently it was time to start pushing for a return trip for Lee, whose averaging 19 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
"I'd be the first to tell you that probably the first whatever amount of games, his numbers were there but he wasn't playing his best basketball and he'd probably tell you the same thing," Jackson said. "But over the last 13-15 ballgames, he's been as good as any power forward in the game. Scoring, post-ups, rebounding, he's impacted the game and he's certainly in the discussion."

a system of constitutional government which guards against absolute power by providing for separate executive, judicial, and legislative bodies who share powers and thereby check and balance one another
A fundamental principle of American government, guaranteed by the Constitution, whereby each branch of the government (executive, judicial, and legislative) has some measure of influence over the other branches and may choose to block procedures of the other branches. Checks and balances prevent any one branch from accumulating too much power and encourage cooperation between branches as well as comprehensive debate on controversial policy issues. For example, to enact a federal law, the Senate and the House of Representatives must each vote to pass the law. In this sense, each house of Congress can check the other. Furthermore, even if the two houses do agree, the president must sign the law. If he chooses to veto the law, it can still be enacted if two-thirds of the members of both houses vote to override the veto. Under this arrangement, both Congress and the president can check each other. (See also appropriation, impeachment, judicial review, and separation of powers; also see chart, next page.)

Northern Elementary
3600 Cincinnati Pike
Georgetown, KY 40324
Map It!
Northern Elementary, located in northern Scott County, Kentucky, is an example of what can be accomplished in energy management using partnerships and collaboration to achieve a goal. In February 2010, when Scott County Schools started using EPA?s ENERGY STAR measurement and tracking tool, Portfolio Manager, for benchmarking the energy performance at each school, Northern Elementary had an ENERGY STAR energy performance score of only 23, which was the lowest in the district.
The principal decided that Northern Elementary?s score should not rank lowest, and, with the help of the students and staff members, had improved the score to 77 by December 2011. Northern has a teacher who leads a great student energy team, and she also leads the school energy team, which is composed of the head custodian, the school principal, another teacher, parents, community partners, and the district energy manager. The head custodian worked to tighten the building envelope by adding caulking and headed a major project that replaced all of the T12 lights with T8 lights, replaced all of the incandescent lights with CFLs, replaced the incandescent exit signs with LED exit signs, and replaced the old 400-watt metal halide lights in the gym with the new, 200-watt pulse start metal halide that provides much better light with less than half of the energy consumption.
Even though much work has been done to relight Northern Elementary, most of the savings have come from the changes in behavior that took place due to the work of the student energy team and the staff members. Lights are turned off, doors are kept shut, and equipment is turned off when not in use. Simple and no-cost measures have allowed most of the savings to occur.

Notice a star in a movie you've never heard of in a box full of DVDs at a garage sale? Make sure that's not a rotten deal.
I know I'm not the only one who has visited movie review sites like rottentomatoes.com and metactric.com in a pinch. They can come in handy sometimes.
But I took a trip back to movies from my younger years, and boy, was I was glad the closest thing I had to handheld device then was Giga Pet. You had one too. Don't lie.
Sure, not all of our favorites are going to be universally loved by all critics, but a 31 percent rating for "Hook?" You can walk the plank for that opinion.
Join me as I list some of those movies, and newer ones, that were "ahead of their time," "misunderstood," and are just plain bad, yet I'm oblivious.
I'm not calling for these flicks to be revered as masterpieces of film; most just didn't get as much credit as they deserved.
– "Patch Adams" (1998)
Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 23 percent
This one hurt, and I'm going to need a funny doctor. The movie was panned for being too "predictable" and "conventional." I don't see that as being a reason to dislike a movie. The late Philip Seymour Hoffman gives a good performance. Robin Williams, too. This movie deserves a second diagnosis.
– "Phenomenon" (1996)
Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 50 percent
I'm not sure why, but when I was younger I thought John Travolta was the coolest. It probably had a lot to do with "Face/Off." In "Phenomenon," Travolta's character, George, observes a bright light in the sky that knocks him out. When he wakes up, he possesses unbelievable intellectual powers. Travolta makes the supernatural believable, with help from a memorable performance from the lovely Kyra Sedgwick.
– "Hearts and Souls" (1993)
Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 55 percent
For the longest time, I used to say this was the best movie most people had never heard of. Apparently not. It shocked me when I looked at this movie's rating. It's a completely unique story about souls that follow Thomas Reilly, played by Robert Downey Jr., as he eventually helps them finish their unfinished business. It might be hard to find, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth the search.
– "Step Brothers" (2008)
Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 55 percent
Ratings like these perfectly encapsulate one of my biggest gripes with movie critics: It seems like silly comedies just don't get reviewed as they should. They aren't being released to be the next "Gone With the Wind." They're being released to let people laugh, and to do so hard and without guilt. It's as if some think laughing is something we shouldn't do at the theaters. Well, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly made me laugh harder than I ever had, other than during "Superbad," when I saw this in the theater. That's worth more than a 55 percent in my eyes.
– "The Break-Up" (2006)
Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 34 percent
Vince Vaughn makes me bust a gut laughing in about anything he does at least once, full disclosure. But, my enjoyment of the sarcastic giant aside, I think this movie is completely misunderstood. Some hate it because it doesn't have a happy ending. I think many don't like the film because it's very real and relatable to feelings and situations that people have had in their own relationships. Jennifer Aniston is a better actress than she gets credit for, and this movie is one of her best performances.
Honorable mention: "50 First Dates," 44 percent rating; "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," rating: 51 percent; "The Da Vinci Code," rating: 25 percent; and "The Day After Tomorrow," rating: 45 percent.

A rush of takeovers of Australian mining resources by their Chinese shareholders is being driven by a change in political leadership and a desire to take control of strategic assets including operating mines and ports, industry experts say.
In the past two weeks, Chinese steel giant Baosteel has joined forces with local rail haulage provider Aurizon to offer 1.42 billion for Perth coal and iron ore play Aquila Resources, and Guangdong Rising Asset Management has put $1.46 billion on the table for copper miner PanAust.
In both cases the bidders were existing major shareholders in the targets.
China Merchant's winning bid $1.75 billion bid in a consortium with Hastings for Port of Newcastle was as much a resources play as an infrastructure play. Meanwhile a $178 million tilt by China's Landbridge Energy for ASX-listed coal seam gas play WestSide turned hostile this month.
Industry players say a shift in attitude to investment from the once-in-a-decade change to Chinese leadership is seeing state-owned enterprises (SOEs) with major shareholdings in Australian resources companies take a more pro-active approach to their investments.
With commodity prices in the doldrums – particularly coal and iron ore – and equity market valuations depressed for many miners, it is an opportune time to launch takeovers.
The head of PwC's Asian deals desk, Andrew Parker, said there was a "discernable" change of attitude to investment in Australian resources companies, driven in part by the change in Chinese leadership.
"There were a series of investments, made under the last leadership, that haven't gone as well as China would have liked," he said.
"What we are seeing now from our businesses' point of view is a resurgence in Chinese interest in the past six or eight weeks.
"They are the early signs that the (Chinese leadership) transition has been bedded down and now companies are out, actively looking for those investment opportunities."
The change in government had also meant changes in strategy and executive teams of SOEs.
"The changes are occurring not just within the management teams of companies, but also within the agencies that administer the companies," he said.
PwC Australia's mining leader Jock O'Callaghan said Chinese investors were starting to grow more impatient.
"The Chinese want their supply coming on a bit faster, they are driven by development and supply imperatives, not by investment imperatives," Mr O'Callaghan said.
"There is a bit of an uptick in impatience and a desire to have more influence over development cycles."
China more open to advice
A wariness about hostile takeovers after a series of failed or disappointing attempts had seen the Chinese become more passive investors, but that stance had not allowed the Chinese to have sufficient influence over development speed, Mr O'Callaghan said.
Key takeover targets were those that granted the major Chinese shareholder control of project development – especially in situations where they were looking for offtake. Also appealing were takeovers that allowed the suitor to gain control and tidy up in very cheap equity markets.
Chinese companies were also notably more open to taking advice, particularly from advisers in Australia on transactions, after failures past where the suitors tended to go it alone.
Australia is China's third-largest investment destination.
The Chinese government has also sent a clear signal that if they consider a takeover strategic enough they will wave it through the regulatory approvals process.
The $1.42 billion joint bid Baosteel lobbed with Aurizon for Aquila Resources late last month was granted all relevant approvals by the Chinese government upfront. Baosteel had a 19.8 per cent holding in Aquila, after first investing in the company in 2009.
"This is a first and something that will change our thinking on future deals with China," one investment banker said.
For China, 2013 was largely a year of rebalancing the domestic economy, and now demand had returned.
The shift in attitude is being presented as a great opportunity for Australia to capture "more than its fair share" of outbound Chinese investment.
China has said it will invest $US500 billion over the next 5 years – or an annual rate of about $US100 billion, up significantly on the roughly $US50 billion rate
Duncan Calder, who is head of the Australia China Business Council and a mining specialist at KPMG, noted Australia needed to be competitive given there was "an increasing war globally to access Chinese capital".
"Chinese companies do seem to be offering premiums, they aren't just bottom feeding and looking to do cheap deals," Mr Calder said.
A common misconception is that SOEs act in unison as "China Inc" but the reality is they are just as competitive with other Chinese companies as with their international competitors, industry sources stressed.

If everyone is through dumping on the Sarasota Police Department over the recent arrest of a homeless person -- who was charging his cellphone through a city-owned electrical outlet in Gillespie Park -- let me point out the real cause and effect which have escalated this situation into a perceived "war on the homeless."
Most important, based on my longtime service on the police force, officers on the street generally do not receive adequate direction -- as to what is expected, and which guidelines should be followed -- when it comes to dealing with homeless people in Sarasota.
Our City Commission is bombarded on a regular basis by neighborhood associations, condominium owners, business groups and social service agencies -- all wanting the issue of homelessness handled, and all demanding immediate responses and results.
The city commissioners then direct management and the Police Department to step up enforcement and discourage negative behavior in the downtown and surrounding residential areas -- at the same time telling them to aid and assist those on the street who desire help and are willing to work at improving their condition.
That's all fine, for those who want help. But what about those who are satisfied with their current situation and do absolutely nothing to improve?
Pressure on Sarasota police
During my tenure, the bosses at the Police Department generated emails and memorandums simply advising the officers to discourage negative behavior.
Meanwhile, a few groups of citizens call the department several times a day to request that police respond and move the homeless along. Many times, the callers are advising of fictitious violations, such as alcohol consumption, narcotics use and prostitution, in order to give legitimacy to their reason for calling.
Then they sit back and observe the actions of the responding officer. If the officer moves the people away because there is a violation of laws or city ordinances, that is acceptable.
But, in cases where the officer does not, a second call is often made, to complain about the officer's lack of attention to duty. The officer is then forced to explain his actions, even when no laws are broken. Then the officer is faced with a situation where he is held accountable regardless of the action taken. This does not make for a great work atmosphere.
Every so often, the commissioners request a report from SPD about the homeless situation. At that time, one of the captains sits alongside the chief and, with flow charts and graphs, they unleash a barrage of statistics and percentages, showing calls for service are down, arrests are up, certain street corners have been cleaned up and condo owners are now happy.
But the problems hadn't gone away -- they just moved to another location. When the newly affected area starts to complain enough, as was the case in Gillespie Park, the process starts all over again.
Unfortunately, as the enforcement measures are stepped up, the opportunities for controversy rise.
Chalk, cellphones and the media
Last year, downtown condo owners complained about transients loitering at Five Points Park, singling out people drawing with chalk on the sidewalks. Downtown officers were advised to discourage that activity. So when a SPD officer did just that, he was singled out and berated in the media -- while those who prompted his actions withdrew and denied any culpability.
The same scenario occurred this week in Gillespie Park. Having been advised that activity in the park such as sleeping, drinking and cellphone charging should be discouraged, an SPD officer walked into a crowd of about 30 homeless people to investigate.
After making one arrest for smoking in a public facility, which is a violation, and advising another person to unplug his phone, the officer was leaving with his prisoner. The second subject essentially put himself in jail when he followed the officer to his car to continue the debate on his actions.
Nearly a week later, it seems no commissioners or Gillespie Park residents are publicly supporting the actions of this police officer, even though they brought this on. We are hearing, however, from those who take any shot they can at the police or who truly don't understand the difference between a homeless person and a bum.
Chief Mikel Hollaway spoke up and stated he wished that a summons had been issued, even though the SPD policy prohibits issuing a summons to a transient. The city manager didn't comment because he hadn't read the arrest report. The incoming chief of police, who hasn't even started on the job yet, stated "sometimes there are better ways of handling things." What does that mean?
All I'm requesting, on behalf of Sarasota police officers, is for those in leadership positions -- who are making the decisions, calling the shots and setting the policies -- to get on the same page, figure out what they want, work out the loopholes and constitutional issues, and then direct their officers to accomplish their goals.
When that's done, those leaders should not run for cover when their actions are second-guessed and questioned, because the people doing the work and catching the grief are depending on them!
Bob Gorevan was a Sarasota police officer from 1981 to July 2012. He retired as a sergeant.
Ex-officer: Sarasota police get mixed signals on homeless
If everyone is through dumping on the Sarasota Police Department over the recent arrest of a homeless person -- who was charging his cellphone through a city-owned electrical outlet in Gillespie Park -- let me point out the real cause and effect which have escalated this situation into a perceived "war on the homeless."

Titan IV
Not many folks go sailing at this time of year. The weather is too cold, and many of the lakes are too icy. That doesn't stop them from planning sailing excursions, though. Scientists in the United States and elsewhere, for example, are pondering an expedition to Ligeia Mare -- a sea on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
The Cassini spacecraft has revealed more than 400 lakes and seas on Titan, most of which are clustered around the poles. Ligeia Mare is one of the biggest. It covers about 40,000 square miles, making it bigger than Lake Superior here on Earth.
It's not filled with water, though; Titan is so cold that water is frozen as hard as granite. Instead, it's filled with liquid methane and ethane and other hydrocarbons.
Scientists hope to drop a probe into the lake and monitor it as it floats with the current. The mission is the Titan Mare Explorer, and it's still in the early planning stages. If it flies, though, it'll aim at Ligeia Mare.
Winds atop Ligeia vary from about one to two miles per hour. And because of the tides, the lake level varies by about three feet per day. The combination of tides and winds would push the probe several miles a day, allowing it to study much of the basin over the course of several weeks. And the tides are strong enough to stir up material from the bottom of the lake, so the probe's instruments could sample everything from the surface to the sea floor -- providing a thorough look at a frigid sea.

Harrison Barnes Throws Adidas Shopping Spree for 10 Boys and Girls
December 20, 2012
Harrison Barnes Throws Adidas Shopping Spree for 10 Boys and Girls
Harrison Barnes Throws Adidas Shopping Spree for 10 Boys and Girls
On Thursday, December 20, Warriors Forward Harrison Barnes hosted 10 children from across the Bay Area to participate in a shopping spree at the adidas Sport Performance store in San Francisco's Westfield Shopping Centre (865 Market Street # 121 & 211, 94103). Each child was able to walk around the store with Barnes and purchase up to $500 of adidas apparel including a new pair of shoes, t-shirt, pants and an accessory.
"I am happy I get to work with adidas and the Warriors to be able to give backs to the kids in the Bay Area this holiday season. I know for many, items like a t-shirt, shorts or shoes can go a long way," Barnes said.
The attending children were winners of an essay and video contest on Warriors.com in which contestants were asked to explain why they should spend an afternoon with the explosive first year player. Several wining essays were written by members of Boys & Girls Clubs across the Bay Area, an organization that Barnes participated in during his upbringing in Ames, IA. Earlier this season, Barnes purchased 15 season tickets for Bay Area Boys & Girls Clubs to use throughout the regular season.
"When I was younger I participated in Shop with a Cop in Ames, Iowa, where underprivileged kids had a chance to go shopping with the police department," Barnes recalled. "So I know how important it is to have gifts for the holidays, and to share that experience with someone in the community you look up to makes it even better."
Barnes treated these 10 boys and girls, ages 6-15, to the shopping spree after reading their touching stories about succeeding in sports and school despite personal setbacks and financial hardships. Some of the children wrote about helping to raise their brothers and sisters after a parent left, about taking shelter in the Bay Area following hurricane Katrina, or about a sister who recently lost a fight with bone cancer. After meeting them, Barnes felt there were no children more deserving of a positive holiday experience than the ten who joined him that afternoon.
"Everyone comes from a different background, and a lot of these kids don't want iPods or Xboxes, but clothes that can keep them work and they can play in," Barnes said. "My favorite part of the day was the kids asking me which shoe I play in, and to see how excited they were that they could play in the adidas shoe that I use."
Holidays with Harrison presented by adidas is part of the Warriors 15 Plays for the Holidays community outreach initiative that runs until the end of December in an effort to enrich the lives of Bay Area children and families this holiday season. 15 Plays for the Holidays will include a minimum 15 events with each Warriors player participating in at least one event throughout the campaign. This is the first event in the Warriors three-year partnership with adidas, the official retail supplier of the Warriors and the NBA.

Column Less NBA-caliber players than billionaires across globe; now that's leverage
Kyle Singler's NBA draft rights may belong to Detroit, but his body will be playing pro basketball this season in Spain, where the 10-day forecast calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s and his new team, Real Madrid, will pay him better than the Pistons would. Small wonder Singler isn't rushing back to the Motor City, even if the lockout is over.
Deron Williams, on the other hand, is already back in New Jersey after a brief stint playing in Turkey, where his team, Besiktas, retired his No. 8 jersey and no doubt would have erected a statue in his honor had Williams stuck around. But Nets fans should be careful about falling head over heels for the guy. His agent just told the club that because of a new rule in the still-to-be-ratified collective bargaining agreement, Williams is going to opt out of his contract at the end of the shortened season ' if only to squeeze another year and $30 million more from the Nets after the new labor deal is in place.
If anybody still harbored doubts about who won the lockout battle, those two examples are a good place to start. The NBA was, is and ' despite the new agreement ' will forevermore be a players' league, simply because there's too few of them to go around. According to the latest Forbes' rankings, there's nearly twice as many billionaires around the globe (937), and almost as many residing in the United States (403), as there are NBA-caliber players (roughly 450), let alone real superstars (a dozen). And since each of the league's 30 franchises needs at least one of them ' preferably two or three ' to make money, there's no question where the leverage lies.
To be fair to Commissioner David Stern and his owners, they did slow the rate of spending. They got a much better cut of the basketball-related income, about 50 percent annually vs. a high of 57 percent in some years under the old deal, and increased the luxury tax. They get to bury some mistakes under the amnesty clause. They even got a few concessions, making it easier for the have-nots to make a shrewd pickup occasionally and hang onto their own players at every stage of their careers ' whether it's a still-blossoming youngster like the Bulls' Derrick Rose, a mid-level exception like Shane Battier or a proven veteran like Williams.
To do that, the have-nots will need to spend more money. Smarts alone will not close the gap between clubs like the Kings, which spent $46 million last season, and the Lakers, who dropped $110 million. The owners knew that going in.
Besides, short of getting rid of free agency, the NBA can only do so much to restrict players from landing where they want. Even the NFL, which is every team owner's dream of how a pro sports league should be run ' hard salary cap, franchise tag and revenue-sharing 'hasn't able to do that. But because no single NFL player can shift a team's fortunes the way Kevin Durant did almost single-handedly in Oklahoma City, there will always be more wheeling and dealing in the NBA. The owners knew that going in, too.
That's why the whirlwind free-agent signing flurry and the season ' even in the compressed time frame ' will look familiar. More superstars will try to hook up with their pals in the bright lights of the big-market cities, the way LeBron James and Chris Bosh did by moving to Miami and Carmelo Anthony did by relocating to New York. If reports are true, Chris Paul's agent is already pricing flights for his client from New Orleans to the Big Apple. Next, ask yourself how much longer Dwight Howard wants to stay in Orlando to try to win a championship by himself, as opposed to moving to, say, Los Angeles, and kicking the ball out to Kobe Bryant on the perimeter.
To make those moves, the players would have to take a haircut ' let's say Paul gets $60 million long-term from the Knicks, vs. $70 million to stay in New Orleans. And the clubs that sign them would have to pay additional luxury taxes. But if you think either of those factors will be a real drag on player movement ' check out the soaring stock price on Madison Square Garden Co. since the tentative deal was reached ' you haven't been paying attention. Plus, Stern's unceasing effort the past two decades to globalize the game has brought with it increased competition.
But the players better be careful what they wish for. While Singler is only too happy to stay in Spain, NBA free agents Wilson Chandler, J.R. Smith, Patty Mills, Kenyon Martin and Aaron Brooks may wind up languishing in China. They all signed to play in the Chinese Basketball Association ahead of the lockout and chances are good they're stuck there for the season, proving what goes around sometimes comes around, too.

Brit tech brings in-stream ads to Canadian TV webcast
Works on iPads without app, lets you fast-forward
Posted in Policy, 9th September 2011 15:13 GMT
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is deploying VoD technology from UK-based YoSpace, enabling targeted adverts to be dropped into the stream like it's 1999.
Adverts at the beginning and end of a video stream are old hat, and popping up a text overlay (a la YouTube) is positively primitive, so YoSpace creates a proper advertisement break – complete with programme-identifying brackets – and drops it into the video stream without requiring the client application to do anything at all.
That's important as the CBC wanted the content delivered to the iPad, but didn't want to have to develop an iOS application specially. They also wanted to provide longer content – films and such – which can't be financed by headers and footers alone. A side-effect of the tech means that the user-targeted selection of adverts can also be delivered to any device receiving the stream, without the device having to be aware of it.
Slipping adverts into a video stream is harder than it appears: the YouTube website, for example, can push an advert out ahead of a video, but the various YouTube client apps can't manage that, so the content just doesn't appear.
So, for example, on an Android phone the YouTube app claims not to have heard of Drop the Dead Donkey, but visit the YouTube website (using the same device) and you can call up any episode of the '90s journalistic sitcom which will run full-screen (preceded by an advert or two).
iPhone users, of course, can't use the Flash-based website, so just have to do without classic British comedies as Channel 4 (which owns Drop the Dead Donkey) can't make any money out of the content without being able to push an advert out first.
Equally, as the video supplied by YoSpace is just that, users can fast-forward over adverts just as they can skip over any other part of the video, but the CBC is relying on the fact that the majority of viewers won't bother.
Interestingly the CTO of YoSpace told us that the use of HTTP streams, rather than RMTP, gives greater control over the video being delivered.
But the important thing is that it enables companies to finance their content by inserting proper advertisement breaks, hopefully long enough to get the kettle on before dashing back to one's seat in the best 20th century fashion. ®

An epic sci-fi shoot 'em up with a similar aesthetic to Halo. The massively multiplayer game has you scrambling around a dystopian landscape fighting for territory.
Based on the online comic Mr Smoozles, this was the first indie game released by the award- winning writer and developer Steve Ince. It was originally a paid-for game, but Ince decided to release it for free in 2011.
Terrifying stuff. This is one of those games that are just so eerily quiet you'd jump if someone came into the room while you were playing it. The artful indie horror game involves wandering around a forest collecting pages armed only with a flashlight, while avoiding the "Slender Man" who is perpetually chasing you through the fog.
There are a ton of brain-numbing golf games on the web, but none as beautiful as this one.It is colourful, clean and creative. You should play it to appreciate the graphic design as much as the game itself.
Available online as well as for iPad, this is a fun arcade sports game that combines bumper cars with football. Possibly one for the retro game geeks out there.
The super addictive Yeti sports collection is a true Olympiad of online mini-games, which can also be downloaded as apps. Highlights include Albatross Overload and Scrat Jump. Almost all of them involve throwing a penguin as far as you can.
If only learning science at school could have been this fun. Use crayons to solve puzzles on a piece of paper and experiment with your drawings that come to life according the rules of physics.
One of many tranquil online games by designer Ferry Halim. In this one you are a joyous cat bounding through a field with pastel-coloured bubbles floating overhead. All you have to do is jump on the bubbles. It is as blissful as it is relaxing, five minutes of playtime is like therapy.
Hypnotically immersive, this simple, yet multi-award winning game is the result of one student's academic game design thesis.

Put down that baseball bat, this is not your usual zombie massacre arcade game. Instead, this strategy game is set in the aftermath and you need to survive with the resources you have, scope out new buildings to protect your population and avoid further attacks from the dreaded flesh eaters. It's for the thinkers, not the shooters.

I have a company that wants to cool a 16' x 30" x 40" tank of water to 90degF. The engineer came up with 30 tons of cooling necessary to do this and wants a 40 ton chiller.
My question is how do I size the length of piping that is going to be needed to pick up 40 tons of heat.
2 1/2" pipe
Are there manuals for this or is there a calculation that I need.
I tried some different math for this but it keeps giving me different numbers.
The piping is going to come out of the chiller and lay in the tank but chiller water and process water will be separate.

The LPGA announced on Monday that Des Moines Golf and Country Club has been selected to host the 2017 Solheim Cup.
The club hosted the 1999 U.S. Senior Open, which drew a record 252,800 spectators. The 2017 Solheim Cup will be the 15th playing of the event.
"Bringing the Solheim Cup to Des Moines Golf and Country Club continues our tradition of matching this world-class event with a venue that shares PING's passion for showcasing the best in team golf," said John Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. "Their history of holding tournaments of this magnitude makes them an excellent choice to host the event. While four years away, we're already looking forward to joining Iowa and the Des Moines community in the staging of the 15th Solheim Cup."
The Solheim Cup is a Ryder Cup-style event played between American women and ladies from Europe.
"We are very excited to be heading to the Des Moines Golf and Country Club for the 2017 Solheim Cup," said LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan. "The support that the Des Moines community has shown for golf events in the area has been tremendous. Based on the incredible welcome that we've already seen from the city, state, and local organizers, I have no doubt that the 2017 Solheim Cup is already on track to be the best event we've ever staged."
The European team cruised to a convincing 18-10 win at the 2013 Solheim Cup at Colorado Golf Club. It was Europe's first win on American soil, and it was the first time that the Europeans won back-to-back Cups. The U.S. leads the all- time series 8-5. The 2015 Solheim Cup will be contested in Germany at the Golf Course St. Leon-Rot.

For French-language readers, here's the start of the article:

As I see things, my son's burgeoning TV career is a logical outcome of his extraordinary gift for immediate introspection into what makes individual people tick. In my personal case, any such genetic inheritance failed to make itself manifest (I'm totally incapable of evaluating people, places and situations), but I'm convinced that we can identify the ancestors of François who gave him such genes. I'm thinking, of course, of his grandfather Jacques Mafart [1916-2011] and his grandmother Kathleen Walker [1918-2003], who both expressed, differently but amazingly, this exceptional talent. In talking like this, I'm aware that maybe I might be seeking sillily the proverbial origins of the smile of the latest baby in the sepia images of ancestors. But I persist in believing that the exceptional skills of François as an introspective TV interviewer ring a bell in my memories, and that the genealogical associations that I'm evoking enable us (me, in any case) to better appreciate his talents.

We have another one!!
Pennsylvania state representative Mike Fleck, a Republican whose conservative district covers rural Pennsylvania and where Republicans outnumber Democrats 2-to-1, has come out publicly -- on the record, and voluntarily -- as a gay man.
He says he is a conservative Christian and still plans to stick with the Republican party because he believes in smaller government. He has a very conservative resume: he was a Boy Scout and Eagle Scout, he went to Jerry Falwell's Liberty University for college and he worked as a district executive for the Boy Scouts of America. Both organizations are very anti-gay and forced him deeper into the closet.
Mike Fleck says he struggled for years with his sexuality and tried "Christian counseling" to make his same-sex desires go away. He got married to a woman, but he told his wife he was gay and they separated last year.
I can relate to Mike Fleck because I have a lot of conservative beliefs and I have struggled A LOT (and still am) with accepting my sexuality too.
He's really cute!! He looks handsome and masculine!

Story highlights
- One gang member is "Wino," or Nerses Kilajyan, of Westide Armenian Power gang
- Another is "Creeper" of Sun Valley GW-13 gang, he says in video
- FBI is investigating the video "to determine any potential threat"
- "This is very unique because these guys are ... with the pro-Syria forces," analyst says
Two men claiming to be Los Angeles-area gang members have posted a video showing them firing rifles in Syria's civil war, apparently fighting on behalf of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
In the profanity-laced video, the two men fire rifles from behind a cinder-block wall at "enemigos" -- enemies -- though the camera never shows an enemy in the distance. The two men often refer to "gang-banging" and their "homies," and one of them displays gang hand gestures and tattoos.
The video was publicized this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington-based organization that studies and translates news accounts and social-media postings.
"This is very unique because these guys are over there, and they are with the pro-Syria forces and pro-Hezbollah forces," said Steven Stalinksy, executive director of the institute. "We have been monitoring foreign fighters over the years, and there has been a handful of Americans going to fight, but they have been going to fight against Assad."
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Forces is investigating the video.
"The JTTF is aware of the video and is investigating to determine any potential threat to Americans or to U.S. interests," FBI spokeswoman Ari Dekofsky said in a statement. "We are not in a position to provide further comment at this time."
The ties to the al-Assad regime apparently stem from how one of the two gang members identifies himself as "Wino" from the Westside Armenian Power gang. Some Armenians side with Assad because he has protected the minority group in Syria.
Wino uploaded the video and photographs to his Facebook page, where he is identified as "Wino Ayee Peeyakan" and by his real name, Nerses Kilajyan, according to MEMRI. The video was also posted to YouTube.
Although media accounts and MEMRI explained that Kilajyan's Facebook page contained several photos and comments earlier this week, his page was taken down as of Wednesday.
MEMRI's website, however, has reposted Kilajyan's photographs showing him wearing Hezbollah garb and standing by a purported Hezbollah operative, MEMRI said. The pro-Iran Shiite militant group Hezbollah has fought on the regime's side of Syria's three-year civil war. Hezbollah is deemed a terrorist group by the U.S. government.
Kilajyan is also photographed standing beside the man who also appears in the Syrian video, MEMRI said.
That man in the video calls himself "Creeper" and says he's a member of the Sun Valley GW-13 gang. In the slang of a Latino gang-banger, Creeper often sprinkles his fluent English with Spanish words.
"Judging by the photos, Wino seems to have been fighting in Syria since December 2012. Comments by Wino's Facebook friends suggest that the two were deported from the U.S. due to their involvement in criminal activity," MEMRI's website says.
In the two videos, the two men appear to be addressing gang members back in the Los Angeles area while they fire their rifles.
Creeper: "We're in Syria still gang-banging." Later he adds: "Tell the homies: in the ... Middle East, still gang-banging."
Wino: "We're in Syria, homie. We're in Syria, homie. ... We're on the ... front line."
In the video, Creeper cites rappers Mr. Capone-E, Mr. Criminal and Crazy Loco, but those rappers distanced themselves from the video.
"I've spoken to both Mr. Criminal and Crazy Loco, and none of us have any associations whatsoever with the two men in the video," the rapper Mr. Capone-E said in a statement. " I've been very blessed to have the most amazing fans from all walks of life and with all kinds of political views. I personally do not condone any type of violence or any type of action that leads to criminality.
"I'm by no means a political person and will not be speaking on the subject of Syria, on which I'm wholly uninformed," the rapper said.

CHESAW Sheriff's deputies are waiting for lab results in the Labor Day shooting death of a Hoquiam hunter.
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said evidence has been sent to the state Crime Lab.
Michael R. Carrigan, 52, was shot on Cow Camp Road on Pontiac Ridge. He had just gotten out of a vehicle, driven by another Hoquiam man, George R. Stover, 65, and taken two shots at a grouse, Rogers said.
Deputies searched a home about 100 yards away and confiscated several items, including weapons, ammunition and other items. Two occupants of the home were interviewed, Rogers said.
No arrests have been made, but persons of interest have been identified, he said.
"We are still putting the case together and waiting for the lab results to be finished up," Rogers said.
After Carrigan shot at the bird, Stover heard another shot from somewhere else, Rogers said.
Stover said he saw Carrigan turn around and could see blood on him, and then fall down.
He allegedly heard another shot, so he drove out of the area to get help from law enforcement, Rogers said.
The death is the fifth homicide in Okanogan County this year.
