Much of the art looted by Nazis 70 seven decades ago may still be in existence, and Germany and others are accused of dragging their feet on getting it to the rightful owners.
BERLIN — Watching the TV news report on a cache of art seized in a German apartment, Berlin lawyer Lothar Fremy was surprised to see a painting he and his clients had been hunting for years flash across the screen.
The painting, Riders on the Beach by German-Jewish artist Max Liebermann, had once belonged to his clients' great-uncle David Friedmann, a Jewish businessman persecuted by the Nazis. It had been lost for more than 70 years.
"They were very surprised and kind of delighted," said Fremy, a lawyer at Rosbach & Fremy law firm in Berlin, referring to Friedmann's now 88- and 92-year-old grandnephews, who fled the then-German city of Breslau, now Wroclaw in Poland, shortly before the war before ending up in the United States.
STORY: Past looted art caches
He said they had mixed feelings upon hearing the news.
"One question that came up pretty quickly was why do we only find out about this now through the TV," said Fremy, who has been working on art restitution cases for eight years.
Fremy's question is on the minds of many art experts. Why, they ask, has it taken so long for German authorities to go public with the find and why do they appear to be dragging their feet regarding the restitution of Nazi-confiscated art?
STORY: Past looted art
"I think there is goodwill in Germany but more sensitivity and transparency is needed," Dieter Graumann, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, an umbrella organization that represents local Jewish communities in Germany, told USA TODAY.
"The issue was kept secret for a year and a half and who knows how much longer it would've been kept secret had it not been published in the media."
The painting that piqued the interest of Fremy was one of more than 1,400 artworks, including pieces by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall, seized in an apartment in the south German city of Munich.
Investigators were looking into Munich resident Cornelius Gurlitt for possible tax evasion after he crossed the Swiss border with a large amount of cash. Gurlitt's father, Hildebrand Gurlitt, was a German art dealer during the Nazi era and had left his collection to his son.
Though the artworks were discovered by investigators 18 months ago, the find was not made public until German weekly Focus reported on it a week ago.
The art historian evaluating the works for the Bavarian authorities described her happiness at seeing the paintings for the first time. But Graumann said he felt no joy.
"I feel sadness with these paintings because I know they were to a large extent extorted and stolen and I don't know how someone can speak of happiness in regard to them," he said.
The find illustrates what appears to be a persistent feature of German handling of cases in which they suspect artwork of being in the hands of wrongful owners: lack of transparency.
"There is so much looted art in German museums — the families have waited over 70 years now to find their paintings," said Anne Webber from the London-based Commission of Looted Art in Europe.
"So we have called on the German government and all the German states to publish lists of works of art (they have from) between 1933 and 1945 that are in public collections."
The Austrian government has been doing research on its federal collection for 14 years and has returned 30,000 items in that period, said Webber. But there is much more out there.
During Hitler's reign, the Nazis are estimated to have seized 600,000 pieces of art and millions of cultural items such as books and manuscripts. The items were either stolen from individuals or museums.
In many cases, Jewish art dealers were forced to sell works for well under their value.
After World War II, the U.S. government, France and the United Kingdom returned the pieces the Germans had amassed to their countries of origin, says Wesley Fisher, director of research for the N.Y.-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, which works for the restitution of Jewish-owned property taken by the Nazis.
"They gave them back to the countries' governments," said Fisher. "Sometimes the governments did return them to the original owners and sometimes they did not. ... You have collections kept by the governments that only in the last 10 to 15 years have been dealt with."
A collection of works owned by Hildebrand Gurlitt actually traveled to the U.S. in 1956 as part of an exhibition, according to records from the American Federation of Arts, The Wall Street Journal reported. Of the works found in the apartment of Hildebrand's son were as many as 163 that may have been returned to the Gurlitt family in 1950 by the U.S. after an evaluation of their provenance, it said.
In 1998, Germany and more than 40 other countries signed the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, which calls for transparent identification and fair restitution processes for works that may have been looted by the Nazis. Around 200,000 items had not been returned at the time of the conference, says Fisher.
"If you look at how many works have been restituted since 1998, I think it's around 1,000," he said. "In the Jeu de Paume (museum's) database, there are some 22,000 works of which over half are still missing."
The database of the Jeu de Paume in Paris is a searchable collection of more than 20,000 art objects taken from Jews in German-occupied France and Belgium by the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce (EER), a Nazi agency which was charged with plundering cultural valuables.
The EER looted French Jewish and Belgian collections from 1940 to 1944, bringing them to the Jeu de Paume for cataloguing before sending them to Germany. Hildebrand Gurlitt worked with art works taken from the Jeu de Paume and was a prominent art dealer who specialized in what the Nazis termed "degenerate art."
He was stripped of his post as director of the Hamburg Kunstverein (art association) because of his Jewish roots but was regarded as useful by the Nazis because of his art connections, so he continued to work trading in art under Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels. Fisher says many Jewish art dealers were forced to work for the Nazis.
"Because of the criminal nature of this, there was an awful lot of blackmailing and pocketing of money and hiding of artworks including, in this case, by someone with Jewish roots," said Fisher. "He wasn't alone, there were other Jewish art dealers who were in this position: They profited and they saved their lives by dealing in this fashion."
Determining the ownership of paintings is very difficult cases such as Gurlitt's because as an art dealer, he may have purchased some art works legitimately but could also have paid below market prices in cases where people were forced to sell their works.
"You'd have to prove that the price paid was considerably less because the Jewish people involved were being forced, under duress, to sell their property," said Fisher. "This whole area is complicated because there is no real regulation of the art market."
However, it is possible to reclaim works of art if there is a good case, said lawyer Fremy.
"For example, we have recently settled a case with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in which we got back an old Dutch master," he said. "It's not easy but if you have a good clear case, the chances are quite good."
Most Jewish descendants trying to claim artworks are not doing it for the money, says Graumann.
"It is about a grave injury, precious objects that were stolen and families and futures destroyed," said Graumann. "We don't want anything more than a bit of understanding from the authorities and the public."
Meanwhile, little is known of what happened to David Friedmann's collection of artwork. He is thought to have died of natural causes but his wife and daughter were killed in the Holocaust, said Fremy.
It remains unclear whether Fremy's clients will see their great uncle's painting or any compensation for it. The case is legally complicated and it depends on how the Gurlitt family will want to resolve the matter.
"But as the German saying goes," said Fremy. "Hope dies last."

This evening, Governor Christie signed the FY 2015 budget, but not before using his red pen to line-item veto billions of dollars in legally required pension payments.
Christie also vetoed revenue increases necessary to help the state meet its obligations to retirees, middle class workers, and families, and to protect New Jersey's credit rating.
The Legislature put a budget bill on the Governor's desk that included the legally required $2.25 billion pension payment. The Governor reduced the payment to $681 million and called on the legislature to enact further reforms to reduce benefits. The Governor also vetoed NJEA-supported budget language that would have required the state to make quarterly payments into the pension system.
Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto issued a statement saying: "The governor's failure to fully fund our pension obligation will push New Jersey closer toward fiscal disaster, and his rejection of tax relief for working families and continued support for tax breaks for millionaires is once again disappointing," the Speaker said. "The ramifications will unfortunately be adversely felt by taxpayers for years to come."
Senate President Sweeney said: "We are obviously disappointed, but the governor's actions will not prevent us from continuing to push for policies and programs that keep our commitments to retirees and middle class New Jersey families."
NJEA continues to pursue legal action through the courts to require the state to meet its obligations to public pension systems.

New Thinking on 'Shareholder Primacy'
Lynn A. Stout
Cornell Law School - Jack G. Clarke Business Law Institute
February 18, 2011
UCLA School of Law, Law-Econ Research Paper No. 11-04
By the beginning of the twenty-first century, many observers had come to believe that U.S. corporate law should, and does, embrace a "shareholder primacy" rule that requires corporate directors to maximize shareholder wealth. This Essay argues that such a view is mistaken.
As a positive matter, U.S. corporate law and practice does not require directors to maximize shareholder wealth but instead grants them a wide range of discretion, constrained only at the margin by market forces, to sacrifice shareholder wealth in order to benefit other constituencies. Although recent "reforms" designed to promote greater shareholder power have begun to limit this discretion, U.S. corporate governance remains director-centric.
As a normative matter, several lines of theory have emerged in modern corporate scholarship that independently suggest why director governance of public firms is desirable from shareholders' own perspective. The Essay reviews five of these lines of theory and explores why each gives us reason to believe that shareholder primacy rules in public companies in fact disadvantage shareholders. It concludes that shareholder primacy thinking in its conventional form is on the brink of intellectual collapse, and will be replaced by more sophisticated and nuanced theories of corporate structure and purpose.

ProcGen - 0.2
Paul Paterson (paulpaterson)
A modular system for generating procedural content and a user interface to help explore the parameters and tune them to produce the kind of content you need. You can use the system in your game to generate random levels or export the levels to TILED files and import them in your game.
What's new in v0.2- Added island generator to detect islands in a sea terrain
- Added port creator to add ports to islands
- Added loading and saving of specific parameter configurations
- UI now supports parameter pages to better separate different settings
- UI reports when a tiled file is written
The picture below shows the new island builder - the builder uses the terrain module to build the islands and the biomes but also understands their physical extent and places ports on the shoreline.
A procedural content generation system and user interface.
The "terrain" module is a modularsystem for generating procedural content such as,
- landscapes
The system is configured with an XML file that defines what procedural modules are used
The user interface allows you to play around with the parameters and see what the impact
The generation system can be used live in games (using the terrain module and the XML files)
To get the large dungeons you have to use the dungeon mode and set the number of iterations to 400+, which takes a long time at the moment. I hope to speed this up in later releases.

Mission Statement
The mission of The Catholic University of America is to render service in the United States as an intellectual center of the highest quality where every dimension of truth, natural and revealed, can be examined with competent expertise. The university seeks in particular to maintain a position of excellence in historical & systematic theology, biblical and liturgical studies, church history, religion and culture, religious education, moral theology & ethics, and spirituality. The university accords priority to theology and to religious studies and to programs that explore the Roman Catholic tradition of humanistic learning and its relevance to the needs of society and the Church.
To help realize the mission of the university, the School of Theology and Religious Studies sets itself two goals, namely, to promote excellence in teaching, research, and publication in the area of theology and religious studies, and to provide the professional training of lay and clerical leaders who will serve the Roman Catholic community in the United States and throughout the world.
History of the School
From its foundation The Catholic University of America has given academic priority to theology and religious studies and related disciplines. Initially, the academic programs in these areas were offered in the School of Sacred Sciences (1889). In time there emerged the School of Canon Law (1923), followed by a Seminary Program (1931) and, within the School of Arts and Sciences, the Program of Religion (1932). The original School of Sacred Sciences was later divided into a School of Sacred Theology and a School of Philosophy (1937). In 1970 a Liturgical Studies Program was instituted.
After an extensive review of programs and structures, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation by the Academic Senate to establish a new School of Religious Studies in September 1973. The School was composed of five departments: Biblical Studies, Canon Law, Church History, Religion and Religious Education, and Theology. In 2002, the Board of Trustees, after the recommendation of the Academic Senate, voted that Canon Law be reestablished as a School of Canon Law and that the remaining academic units of the School become programs in a School of Theology and Religious Studies. By thus coordinating existing units, The Catholic University of America established a School of Theology and Religious Studies as a national center of academic research, instruction, and service.
The School of Theology and Religious Studies at The Catholic University of America is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. The following degree programs are approved:

Educational Effectiveness
The School of Theology and Religious Studies has demonstrated effectiveness in helping students attain their educational goals by a very reasonable time to degree completion rate and a high placement within their first year. In terms of relevance to career aspirations, 80% of the graduates of 2010-11 said their present occupation was "highly related" to their STRS degree, while another 10% said it was "moderately related." A preponderance of graduates go into education or religious work (100% of 2008-09 graduates, 87.5% of 2009-2010 graduates, 95% of 2010-11 graduates, and 89% of 2011-12 graduates). Of all doctoral students who enrolled between 2002 and 2012, over 80% finished their degrees in seven years or less.

I O.B.S.E.S.S by...hold on, there's a new email in my inbox, I have to check and see if it's an offer on my book.

I'm awesome at OBSESS-ing. But I have one huge, gi-largo, problem. I can't OBSESS without food. Then I go from OBSESS, to OBESE.
When it's all over with (and let's be honest it's never OVER), I have something completely new to OBSESS about...my BIG FAT THIGHS and how my pants whisk, whisk, whisk, as I walk.
I'm going whisk myself out of the kitchen (aka my writing area), away from the food and my email account now.
Good luck to all you who are OBSESS-ing today! Try doing it sans food.

This was such a perfect post, because I'm in the middle of querying right now and can completely relate. Sometimes it seems all I do is wait. So THANK YOU for the tips on waiting, because that will definitely help things. Actually, it's quite funny because your last few posts have related to my exact problem of the day, and were exactly what I needed to hear. So basically I think you're amazing, with the possibility of reading my mind. Not that my mind is all too exciting, what with the nervous waiting going on. lol. But it must be the name thing ;-)

LOL let's see...
Lurking around my mailbox? Check.
Dustbunnies multiplying under the sofa? Check.
Dogs really really desperate for walkies rather than back yard? Check.
The above going on for a long time now? Check.
Waiting for responses from unresponding people? Check.
Doing said things whilst listening to a whole army of people arguing about plotlines at the back of my head? Check.
I think I'm doing quite well so far... Professional Waiting, here I come!

You are so cute!
I am a pro at being a professional waiter. (Was that redundant at all?) Obsessing is what I do best. Why else would I have decided to send off my manuscript?!
I love your posts, Kiersten. You crack me up. :) Keep up the good work!

Sounds like you interviewed me about my waiting habits. I'm great at the rules of OBSESS. How can I do other things when I'm constantly refreshing my Inbox button and gazing out the window for sign of the letter carrier?

I just hit 1500 winds in iPhone solitaire. That's how I handle waiting!
Funny I blogged about this exact thing today. Can you add an extra "S" for Solitaire?
Great post!

Brodi, you can substitute one of the S's for Solitaire, and I will substitute the B for Bejeweled Blitz.

Ha ha ha, this post is so funny because it's so true! Except, I don't have to refresh, because gmail automatically does it for me. So I just get to sit and stare at it. Way better than hitting a refresh button. Then I can hone my self-awareness and busyness abilities. Yes!

I've got an obsession to add! I put a tracking number on my snail-mail (full) submission. So, every day that the tracking number isn't in USPS, I celebrate.
Writing-wise, there's a great post by Hannah Moskowitz about the thematic differences between young adult and middle-grade books. I've linked to it from my blog, michellesvann.blogspot.com
Of course, Paranormalcy covers both genres! Love it!

I sent my query out TWO WEEKS AGO! Surely it can't take that long? *feverishlly refreshes button. Promptly gains headache from so much staring at computer screen*
But wait... what if they HATED it? Maybe it's not half as good as I thought. Maybe I shoulld forget that idea and try to find another one. Or just reise the MS for the tenth time today. Ten times isn't enough, is it? It's too little, I know it!... But, wait, there's a new e-mail in my inbox...
I think my friends and family will be highly pleased once this O.B.S.E.S.S part is fianlly over. I have a feeling they rather liked me when I locked myself in my room and refused to leave because I was writing much more than they do now.

Omg - I swear I've gained weight from all the baking I've done as I've patiently waited for the partials and fulls to come back to me. What is taking them so long???

You know, if someone didn't know how sarcastic you are on your blog this could be a very, very scary post. I don't know how many times I have followed author suggestions in my writing for one reason or another (not all of them, mind you. Just the ones I believed in) and this is such a scary proccess as it is you could have just created dozens of O.B.S.E.S.S.-ed people. Okay, I will admit when I was shopping out my first MS that I spent a rediculous amount of time checking my e-mail, going so far as to steal my husband's phone to check it on the go. Wait, nevermind, you don't have to create the O.B.S.E.S.S.-ed people, we already exist. Crap. I'm O.B.S.E.S.S.-ed!

Right now I'm waiting for responses to a query letter from several agents. This is my second novel I'm submitting right now, but my first was a DISASTER. I was not, what you call, a Professional Waiter. I checked email over twenty times a day, ran to the mailbox for some news, OBSESSED over the time it was taking agents to get back to me. It was ridiculous. Now, I work on something else. I have many more projects in sight right now and just have to focus on those for the time being! Great post!

I'm a HUGE O.B.S.E.S.Ser! Grrr...
But I'm better now, I'm calmer - there's a foreign publisher who wants to translate my book and, while waiting for their first reply, I checked my email two times every two seconds (wait, does that make it once per second?? hm..), but now, and after they left me waiting for a week, I left them hanging for 5 days before I replied, and now it's all okay.
The thing is - like relationships, you have to make your bf/gf - publisher/agent/CP in that case - wait, and OBSESS just like you. Not sure if I made them OBSESS, but it feels better!
Oh, and stay away from chocolate. Just sayin'.

Yes, there's obsession, there's obesity and depression, recession (Not the monetary kind, though it's there. This is the kind where you recess into the darkest corner of your house and emerge only when you're quite sure the email is there. Click. Damn.) the "sions" list goes on and on! Just like the pile of dishes, dirty clothes, late library books, unopened mail, etc....

That was hilarious and oh so true. I'm quite addicted to checking emails...it's awful. Only way to stop me from refreshing to see if there are any new emails is to just turn off the internet connection for a while.

You missed one; becoming so obsessed with perfection that you talk yourself out of submitting it just yet, waiting for it to be perfect in every way.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Mesia Nyman, of the US Forest Service, told the Emery County Public Lands Council the South Manti timber sale would definitely not take place. She said the sale has been in court for 10 years, and the US Forest Service just lost the final appeal. "That project is now gone," she said.
Ann King, of the US Forest Service office in Price, informed the council the planning rule has been rescinded. "We have no place to put the study about wild and scenic rivers. The decisions that have been made to this point are not valid. The two segments in Emery County, Huntington Creek and the Left Fork of Huntington Creek, will be put back into the process. We are ramping up to do the studies on all 83 river segments in our forest," said King. "We urge you to stay active in this process. We will hold a public meeting at the courthouse on May 9 to receive public comments."
Bill Broadbear, also of the Price office, told the council of plans for a nationwide effort to do a master plan for the recreation areas in the forest. "We will take a critical look at maintaining those numerous campgrounds built 30-40 years ago. The majority need major repairs, such as water systems, and we have deferred maintenance until that bill is nearing $700,000. We will be looking at each campground to determine its future. We will look at decommissioning sites or doing repairs. We are looking at removing the aging water systems because we do not have the funds to repair and replace those systems," said Broadbear.
He also stated they have not raised camping fees since the late 90s and that is a consideration, because 95 percent of the fees collected go to pay the camp hosts along with other things for each campground. "We may consider partnerships with private concessionaires for some campgrounds. Before anything is done, and before any site is closed, we will have public hearings. We request feedback on the proposed fee increase schedule," Broadbear stated.
There are 13 campgrounds on the forest service list for consideration. Proposals for those campgrounds are:
Lake Hill and Manti Community-increase the fees from $8 to $10 beginning in 2009;
Ferron Reservoir-upgrade existing features, with tables and fire rings as the first priority, reducing deferred maintenance, reduce the number of water connections, increase family site fees to $10 in 2008;
Indian Creek Guard Station- convert to a rental cabin with a $50 fee per night;
Joe's Valley-increase fees for single family sites to $15 and double family site to $20 in 2009;
Seely Guard Station-once work is completed, institute fees of $30 per night as a rental cabin;
Willow Lake-remove fees from this site by 2010, keeping the site open for use, fees generated do not cover the cost of collection;
Big Rock-increase fee to $50 per night in 2008;
Cleveland Reservoir-protect resources by improving the road into the campsites, fees increased to $5 per vehicle in 2008;
Fish Creek NRT campground and trailhead-begin charging a $7 fee for overnight camping only in 2008;
Flat Canyon-campground to remain closed dependent on removal of hazard trees and stabilization of timber stand. When the campground is returned to service, increase fees from $8 to $10;
Forks of Huntington-raise fees for individual family sites from $8 to $10 in 2009;
Gooseberry-increase fees from $6 to $10 per single in 2008, upgrade tables and fire rings as needed;
Gooseberry Reservoir-increase fees from $5 to $10 per single site in 2008 with upgrades to tables as needed.
Nyman went on to present a slide showing the unauthorized, user created roads on the forest system. These roads and trails are not on the forest service travel plan, and many that are on the plan as foot or horse trails have been used by motorized vehicles. "These roads and trails are unclassified and are not in our system. We will begin to monitor the usage of these roads and trails. We may choose to close them. As these unclassified roads and trails are not in our travel plan, we do not need a public process to close them. We have got to get a handle on the use of these user created trails and roads. We will never recognize and authorize them," said Nyman.
The Emery County Public Lands council meets on the second Tuesday each month at 10 a.m. in the courthouse in Castle Dale.

Guest post by Sam Marquit
There are a couple of things that many folks don't even consider (but really should) when looking to decrease their carbon footprint and save some money. They are installing radiant roof sheathing and tankless water heaters. I have installed both of these products in numerous homes throughout the East Hamptons area, passing on considerable savings to the homeowners.
Radiant Roof Sheathing
Utility bills tend to run the highest in the blazing heat of summer and the frigid cold of winter. Your HVAC systems have to work twice as hard in effort to maintain your home's temperature in these extreme seasons. Although some regions of the country only have one or the other, in the East Hamptons we have the "luxury" of both. Protecting your home against the changing seasons will definitely save you money in utility costs throughout the year.
Radiant barriers are designed to be installed underneath your roof and reflect the heat of the summer outside of the home, while keeping the heat your furnace is pumping out inside the house during the winter. With the technology built in to absorb heat, both internally and externally, radiant barrier sheathing can withstand just about any temperature Mother Nature can throw at it. Regardless of the season, by installing radiant barrier sheathing in your roof, you can ease some of the burden on both your furnace and central air unit. Not only will this drive down your utility costs, but it will also allow increase the lifespan of your furnace and air conditioning units.
Another great benefit I have seen from installing radiant barrier sheathing is the reduction in your home's carbon emissions. By having your furnace and air conditioning units run less, you are reducing the amount of emission each of the systems is putting into the environment.
The last thing I would like to point out about installation of radiant barrier sheathing is how it evens out the climate of your home. Everyone has had the experience of having one room or area of their home being warmer or cooler than others. With the use of this sheathing, the temperature throughout the house will even out providing more usable living space in the home. It will feel like you've picked up more square footage, as you will not be deterred from using rooms that used to be too warm or cold to use.
Tankless Water Heaters
Now one of the current "turn-offs" to installing a tankless water heater in your house is the initial upfront cost. Yes, a good tankless water heater is not cheap initially, but over the course of the first few years you have it installed, the savings you will realize will more than pay for itself. Much like other water heaters, these systems are built to last, so once you buy one, it may be the only one you will ever have to buy again.
The beauty of a tankless water heater is they are just that: tankless. There is no bulky water tank eating up space in your utility room. These models are generally flat and easily mounted to just about any wall. How they work is that instead of relying on keeping a huge tank of water hot at all times, when you turn on a water source within the house, the water is actually heated as it moves through the system. This means you are not wasting energy to keep your water hot 24/7 when you may only need it for an hour or two every day. By installing a tankless water heater, you could potentially cut your energy cost to power a standard water heater in half.
The other great feature about a tankless water heater is you will always have hot water on demand whenever you need it. For larger families, this pays dividends when everyone needs to get ready in the morning and multiple showers are required. No more waiting for the standard water heater to heat up another batch of water. With a tankless water heater you can take shower after shower without fear of running out of hot water.
The efficiencies used to design today's tankless water heaters are also great for your pocket book in that they require far less service and maintenance. Because there is not a tank involved, there is also far less chance of having a water leak ruin your basement floor.
If either of these options seems like something you would like to have installed in your home reach out to a home contractor in your area for an estimate. Remember, these options may cost a little more to install upfront, but as my ventures in Hamptons real estate have proven time and again, they are well worth the investment. You can greatly decrease your monthly energy cost, increase the lifespan of your HVAC system, and reduce your overall carbon footprint on the environment.

Building Optimized Configurations for MD Nastran
By PierreReynes on Jun 23, 2009
MD Nastran is a very high compute and I/O intensive application. Jobs can run for days and generate terabytes of data. Any processing or I/O optimization will help running more jobs concurrently and for shorter periods of time. From storage (Internal? Network Attached? SAS? HDD? SSD?) to memory (how much per node? per job?), the Sun BluePrints article "Sun Business Ready HPC for MD Nastran" provides interesting suggestions to help designing optimized configurations and avoiding processor or I/O bottlenecks. Detailed configuration examples and performance test results are provided.

I have a PP three handle tub and shower fixture in a tub/shower combo. After taking a shower, water is noticed in the basement below the shower. I've replaced the valve stems and seats in all three handles making sure to use plumbers grease and teflon tape on all threads. The leak only occurs when the hot water is on during a shower meaning I can take cold showers without a problem (burrrrr). I've ran both the hot and cold water into the tub and don't have any problems. I've enve ran the cold water through the shower and not a drip. I can't figure why only the water hot throught the shower pipe leaks. Any ideas or suggestions?

"Such a high quality product! Love It! I just wish there was an option for this design to take the "fallen snow" out of picture. But I am extremely satisfied and will use this website again!"
"I was nervous to order this announcement since there was only one review, and it was someone who gave it one star. Because of that review, I made sure to select the option to have a Tiny Prints employee review the design and also paid for the digital proof. The photo quality is great. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out and have been receiving compliments from friends and family as they arrive in the mail."
"These announcements are beautiful. On the front, I used a picture of my daughter taken on a creamy white blanket, and the full-bleed use of the photo with the gray text and light doily embellishments was lovely. I received several compliments. I do not think a photo with a darker background would work well with this design. On the back, I chose to use two smaller photos with captions on the simple white/cream background. In the captions, I wrote about why we chose her name since she is named after my late father and my husband's grandmother. It looked clean and was easy to read, and people responded well to that personalized touch. I also chose to use the matte paper so that I could write notes on the back, and it worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this design, but I would caution anyone that only certain photos will work well with the design elements on the front."
"I cannot even tell you how many complimens we received on this birth announcement! It was so wonderful to get that feedback. They are even nicer in person. I would describe them as pretty, elegant and delicate. We did almost identical to the stock photo (grey back drop with white trim and our photo was 'naked' baby with white flower headband that somewhat matched the trim on the cards). Oh- and I ordered at 10 pm on a Wednesday and they were at my door step Friday afternoon! Just wonderful and am so, so pleased with our order and Tiny prints!"
"My cards came out adorable! Remember to order the modified envelopes or you will pay extra shipping! I paid 70cents to mail each one instead of 49 cents"

The only two that I recognize from the picture are Kisame and Zabuza. I also agree with others that Raiga can't really be said to be official because he didn't appear in the manga, just anime. I would be surprised if he didn't make his way into the manga in the event the whole group is revealed.
You forgot to put Kisame's speed there, although the total is correct.
Also, where is this picture from anyway? I don't remember it from the manga.
Very interesting ideas for the 4 though. It would be great if we eventually got to see them all.

Customers Say
"The customer support I received is superior. *** goes out of his way to answer all my questions and stays with me till the end of each project."
– Ruiz, NY
"Don't hesitate to purchase from powerful signal. Great customer support, simple answers. Great products that do what they are advertised to do and more. Exceeded my expectations. If your a business or just an individual that cannot afford missed or unclear phone calls powerful signal will have what you need."
– Dustin, TX
"The unique thing about purchasing this from PowerfulSignal is the knowledgeable customer service you get. The sales people have installed and tested personally the system they sell. From experience they can recommend a system that will work for your application,. They can also guide you in testing and installation. Cell boosting can be a tricky system to setup. In my case *** help me choose the right system. Never bought with more confidence. "
– Gerald, CA
"As a repeat customer, I believe that not only do you provide the best cellular products, your staff's technical expertise, guided me through the selection process. I placed my trust in your technician and he delivered. I went from my original purchase from Powerful Signal a 3G multi band mobile cell booster to a new Wilson 46108. Big difference, outstanding service, support and products. I would definitely would recommend Power Signal to all that want to improve the cellular connection. Great work Power Signal."
– John, IN
"The system was easy to set up and works better than expected. Prior to install I had no phone service insidey metal building - now I have 4 to 5 bars and can use phone, text and internet with no problems at all."
– Jon, TX
"We are residential customers with poor cell reception at our home. While I was aware generally of the the various options to improve our cell reception, I had no idea of what solution would be right for our particular situation. Over the years I have had the opportunity to contact PowerfulSignal for minor needs, so I chose them again for this more complicated situation. The representative that I spoke to was very knowledgeable and explained things to me in a "plain english" manner. I was able to ask many questions and not feel intimidated by my lack of knowledge. I definitely felt that he was there to help me and not just make a sale. Ultimately, I bought a solution that appeared to be the right one for our situation. The shipping was extremely fast, the system components were packed professionally and everything I needed was included. The system is now installed and our cell reception has improved two-three fold. Many kudos to the good folks at PowerfulSignal for their help and excellent products."

"I live in a rural location with spotty service (unless I am on the roof) and have purchased two different booster kits from PowerfulSignal. One for a wireless card only (hard wired to booster) and most recently the FlexPro 3G Booster Kit for Cell and the wireless card. In both cases I researched the website to get started and then called Powerful Signal for clarifications and additional application guidance. The advice was solid. Both products worked as expected. I am a licensed Amateur Radio Operator and have installed countless mobile and fixed radio installations so have considerable radio experience. The help I received and the products were both top of the line. Price was also very competitive. PowerfulSignal is my go to for this type of application. Don't waste your time looking any further."
– Tim, WA
"Powerful Signal has been a great company to work with. I went on line to find cell phone signal boosters and your web page was hard to find. *** was the main company which I found and was ready to purchase. I saw a link to youtube that was comparing *** with *** so I watched this to see just how good *** was. *** was much faster. Our cell signal is week at our house and internet is only available by satellite. I had to stand by my kitchen window and stand still so I would not drop calls.We bought *** net and found that only one person could be on line at a time in order to have any down load speed. After hooking up our *** booster we went from 1 bar of signal to 3 bars and we were able to pull in LTE signal from ***. I had a hot spot that is 4G LTE. I activated it and now we have good speed for my wife, how is going to collage and for me when I am on line."
– Dave, NV
"I have placed several orders with Powerful Signal and have been not only pleased but actually amazed at the speed and efficiency with which my orders were filled and delivered. I would recommend this company to anyone (if I like them)."
- Jess, CO
"I work with *** in placing my orders and whatever comes up regarding those orders. He is always prompt in returning my calls and answering questions I have. In addition, I've had occasion to speak with tech support more than once and have found them to be available, knowledgeable, and courteous."

Here is a statement that I think uses unusual word order.
Josh 21:34, κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.
This is typically translated "The Lord is their God" (e.g., NETS), but the grammar marks θεός as the subject (i.e., with the article). If that is the case, then it ought to be, I think, "Their God is Lord." The only alternates I see are to take κύριος ὁ θεὸς as a single phrase, but that would be "The Lord God is theirs"--awkward-- or, "He/it is the Lord their God"--but taking the subject from the verb gives no antecedent that makes sense in the context (God has not been mentioned and the only nouns are βωμόν and μαρτύριόν--and no Jew would say the memorial altar was god.)
predicate nominative/complement > subject > linking verb is, so far as I can tell, a rarely attested word order. I can find no examples of this pattern in the NT and only one other in LXX: Isa 30:18, κριτὴς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν, "The Lord our God is judge."
Or is there some other explanation for this statement? Or is this pattern more common than I've been able to document?

A bonus post from me today but one that I feel is very important for the reasons I'm about to go into.
At the weekend, a friend came over to my house. He decided to 'check-in' to my house using Facebook places and invite me. Where's the harm in that right? Well Facebook Places will geo-locate your smart phone device and show a map of where you are to all your friends. He had told over 1000 people on his Facebook profile where I lived. You're hopefully starting to see where I'm going with this. If people know where I live it's not the end of the world but if people are going round checking in to their friends houses & their own houses regularly then this concerns me. A lot of data is being built up about where people are and are not.
Facebook has a prolific younger audience and Facebook Places is nice and shiny to them – they want to play with it and rather than using it for the commercial benefits it might have, they are using it to check-in to homes a lot. How many parents out there don't realise that their house's whereabouts is being flagged up to potentially thousands of people online? What about those parties that were gatecrashed years ago – how much easier will that be now?
I'm an avid user of Foursquare (another Geo-Location tool) and have been for a year or so. The difference with this tool is that Foursquare was used by an early adopter audience which probably had a slightly more mature demographic to it's user base who might think through the ramifications of checking in to their own and friends houses. Facebook has just opened places upto 500 million people across the globe and I truly believe that we need to educate people as to it's use. You might remember that people were talking about Foursquare and burglaries a while ago (I wrote about it here) – this, in my opinion is far more worrying.
If you have a family (especially kids) using Facebook, guide them on the use of Places and spread the word.
Now Your Thoughts
Are you using Places? Did you even know about it? Am I getting worried for no reason?

So nice I bought a 2nd pair!
"I wasn't sure if these would look cheesy or stylish so i ordered them in brown thinking black in plether can sometimes look cheap. When they arrived I was so please and they fit so well (snug around my foot and ankle. i have narrow feet) I came back immediately and ordered them in black! They are really sharp!"
