Focus on Funds
Shutdown of the Shutdown Puts Smackdown on Volatility — But Boosts Gold and Bonds?
Reports that the Senate has reached a deal to avoid a U.S. default and end the government shutdown are trickling in. But the market reaction is a shade different from the usual sigh of relief.
Sure, it's good news for stocks, where the S&P 500 (SPY) is bouncing 1.2% higher Wednesday. It's bad news, just as you'd expect, for the oddball funds built around "trading" volatility, which benefit from investor uncertainty. But the move in gold's price is not nearly as intuitive. Meanwhile, you've got investors reaching for the security blanket of Treasury bonds. Bond prices are surging right along with stocks.
I guess the reaction in Treasury bonds reflects increased comfort with U.S. credit in addition to, or maybe even instead of, the more commonly seen practice of retreating to those bonds as a "haven" asset.
Gold futures, which often move in tandem with haven assets, are rising amid the reports, adding 0.4% to $1,278. But the heavily traded SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which tracks gold prices in London, is down by 0.2%.
If you thought taking away "worry" from the market should be bad news for gold, think again. For months, investor appetite has been so weak that gold is, for many, in the "source of funds" category. Investors have tended to bail out of gold when markets get rough -- or when stocks are surging. That's a reflection of investors' certainty that gold cannot rally. It's a certainty which, as Wednesday's trading shows, is not entirely justified.
This time, though, take away the threat of default and an investor's stock portfolio benefits, so he/she may paradoxically become more willing to take some risk. The idea is that gold's price is bruised enough that investors who feel better about the bulk of their holdings (in stocks) should be more willing to put money back to work in metals.
That, at any rate, is one theory. RBC Capital precious metals strategist George Gero this morning was content to highlight the lack of willing buyers and apparently also sellers as one reason for the metal's volatility lately:
Traders who were investors and now seem to change direction quicker than the weather based on Washington's headlines more than basics of the Middle East, Euro zone and our economics and of the Far East.Higher short term rates and the dollars fluctuations are also moving gold and as a result of recent sharp volatility lack of ready buyers or ready sellers accent moves.
Oh, and, about those oddball assets: ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) has plunged 19%, iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) is down 10%, and ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY), which we discussed on the blog earlier today, is ahead by 10%.

I think you guys are missing something really important here...
He's the President. If he says he wants a "rescue" dog, someone is going to "arrange" for a rescue PWD to be found, just in the nick of time.
I also agree that someone will be brought to the White House to maintain the President's family pet. I also think they will arrange for an older PWD so they can milk that for all it's worth too.
I think they should go for a rescue Brussel's Griffon. Now THAT would be funny!!!

What I ate on my summer vacation
I'm just back from summer vacation — with stops in rural New England, New York City, the Hamptons and L.A.– and thought I'd share a few highlights.
My biggest take-away was this: I had pizza at the NYC spot many consider to have the best pizza in the East — Motorino in the East Village. And you know what? It was excellent, but I like Dallas' own Cane Rosso's better. More on that after the jump.
Also in Manhattan, I swooned over the rotisserie duck at Momofuku Ssam Bar. You can't quite see it in the photo, but tucked under that incredibly flavorful, tender sliced duck breast with fabulous crisp skin (they roast them in view of the counter to a deep mahogany color) is some meltingly tender, also incredibly flavorful leg and thigh meat, confit-ish in texture but not as salty as confit. It's served over rice, and I paid $1 extra for lettuce leaves and another $2 for chive pancakes (which were a little congealed). I rolled some duck meat into a lettuce leaf, along with "duck scallion" sauce, fried shallots and hoisin. This was scary good. Duck dumpling soup and a duck sandwich (with kind of a Cuban sandwich aesthetic) were fab too.
In Brooklyn, I had a terrific dandelion-radish salad with anchovies at Prime Meats, along with a really good burger that set me back $16. (Sheesh! New York has gotten crazy expensive.) I'm going to attempt to recreate that dandelion salad for lunch; will report back.

theGarance Doré interviewHarriet Hawksworth caught up with recent CDFA winner, blogger, illustrator, photographer and one half of fashion's hottest power couple Garance Doré to celebrate the launch of of her truly international collaboration with Parisian label Equipment.
From LA and Dallas to Paris and Sydney, travel is a big part of your life. Which country do you feel is the most stylish?
I like to get away from the usual 'fashion capital' type places. I recently visited Morocco and was hugely inspired by the colour and landscapes. I love the freedom of Australia, but Brazil is probably my favourite place at the moment; the fashion is amazing and it's really going through this massive globalization. Also the people are so body-centric, the atmosphere of the place is astonishing!
What's the first thing you put in your suitcase when you pack?
First of all, I must have all of my geeky things – my books, my iPad, my cameras and all of my gadgets. Fashion-wise, I need to know what I will be doing so I plan around that. I'm really obsessed with white jeans at the moment; they're just a bit chicer than blue jeans. I pack two or three pairs so they don't get dirty and I think if you have a shirt, some white jeans and a tailored men's blazer, you'll be prepared for anything. I always pack a swimsuit too, as you never know when you'll fit in a swim at the hotel pool.
Blogging is actually a really mental way to live. It invades every aspect of your life, even when you're not working, you're working.
You say that, "the shows are where I find the inspirations for my blog". What has been your most memorable fashion week moment to date?
When Jil Sander returned to her label for the Spring Summer 2013 catwalk show [after an eight-year hiatus from her eponymous brand] the love in the room was amazing. People were really emotional.
Maintaining a successful website requires a great deal of motivation. How do you feel you have achieved such a huge following, and what advice would you give to someone launching a blog?
Keep it personal, keep it intimate, you have a chance to reach out to people globally so let them into your life. You need to have an original voice and you need to talk about things you are passionate about, and things that come naturally. I loved chatting with friends, illustration and photography, so I decided to write conversationally and mix illustration and photos. My advice is, take all the things you love and make something unique.
You won the 2012 Council of Fashion Designers of America Media award. The prize has only just been opened up to bloggers - what does this say about how the industry is changing?
Winning that award with Scott [boyfriend and man behind the über-successful Sartorialist blog] was an incredible moment. It's a really exciting time to do what we do. It feels like being at the heart of a storm, everything is changing. Fashion used to be quite a closed world, now it is becoming increasingly democratic, it's evolving and I love that.
You've been working on a collaboration with Equipment (which includes Caroline Issa and Taylor Tomasi Hill) – why did you choose these women specifically to feature in the campaign?
I chose them because they are my friends! It was a dream project really, I just got my most stylish friends together and let them style the clothes exactly how they would wear them. We all love Equipment shirts, so we got together, dressed up and had lunch – such fun!
What's it like working in the same industry as your partner, Scott Schuman who runs www.thesartorialist.com?
It feels like the most natural thing in the world. Blogging is actually a really mental way to live. It invades every aspect of your life, it's personal and even when you're not working, you're working. So you need to be with someone who understands that. We both love what we do and we are old enough to be completely supportive. There's no jealousy, we edit each other's work, we are proud of each other and we inspire each other.
Your personal style icon is Katherine Hepburn. Who do you feel is the style icon of tomorrow?
I am a big fan of Diane Kruger. She just looks so utterly effortless, but there's a story there. It's not fashion for fashion's sake, you feel like she genuinely loves clothes. I've heard that she styles herself and does all her own hair and make-up. Not that I've got anything against using stylists, but her look just feels so genuine.
Who would you love to work with?
I would love to work with Woody Allen, I don't know what we'd do but it would be up to him – I'll do whatever he likes! I love watching people work, so I'd be happy to just watch him. I'm very interested in film.
Do you have a 'life plan'?
I think it's hard to go places without vision, so I am trying to think about the things I want to accomplish and how I will do that. But in terms of a huge master plan, no I don't have one.
Drawing or photography: you can only do one for the rest of your life. Which do you choose?
That's so easy – photography. Being an illustrator is one of the most solitary jobs, and I am such a social person. Photography allows me to interact with people and be creative, so it's perfect.

Wherever you are this Winter, brave the cold in style
Get A Gilet
Gilets are the long-overlooked Winter wardrobe saviour. A friend to layers (no pushing jumper sleeves through restrictive arm holes) gilets also provide a healthy dose of 1970s glam. Think Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithful in the heyday of Rolling Stones fame, and later, Kate Moss cutting a dash in rock chic fur. Choose from reversible versions by Yves Salomon, Vicedomini, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors.Shop Gilets
Only At Harrods
Imagine the world's top international designers making one-off creations just for you? You don't have to imagine, because this season Harrods has myriad jaw-dropping exclusive designs you won't find anywhere else.

A Fine Romance
Like your accessories pretty and practical? Of course you do, so you'll be head over heels in love with Dolce & Gabbana's retro-meets-romantic AW12 offerings: think exotic animal prints, roomy vintage-inspired shapes and the label's signature lashing of lace. Need more convincing? Super-chic fans include Monica Bellucci and Olga Kurylenko (because if anyone's going to understand the importance of a multi-tasking bag, it's a Bond girl).Shop Dolce & Gabbana
Tell Me About It, Stud
Safety pins, begone! Punk takes on a chic new guise with Eddie Borgo's oh-so-cool creations.

Grab Winter style by the horns
Trainer buffs listen up. There's a new breed on the market. Haute hi-tops from the likes of Marc Jacobs, YSL and Alexander McQueen for Puma are filling our e-shelves and tipping the footwear scale. Not to be worn with your standard T-shirt and jeans, these thoroughbreds require a more suave ensemble. Daniel Craig has it nailed with his shirt, tie and cardi combo. Well, if it's good enough for Bond…Shop Hi-Tops
Long Live Mcqueen
Men, admit it: you're busy, aren't you? Very busy and important. Much too busy and important to spend your valuable time shopping for the dapper duds you so obviously require (nay, deserve). Luckily there's a simple solution to this conundrum: Alexander McQueen. With a menswear line that boasts everything from Savile Row-inspired tailoring to off-duty attire with an edge, getting your wardrobe Winter-ready has never been easier.Shop Alexander McQueen
Appease your inner rock god and amp up your military standing with Balmain's Winter collection. Choose from super-cool chunky knits, ribbed jeans, motif tees and biker jackets. If you're after something special, opt for one of our exclusive tuxedo jackets – guaranteed to slim your chances of an outfit match at the office party (we know you fear this too fellas!).Shop Balmain
Airport Security, otherwise known as the 100ml challenge, will flummox even the most prepared beauty addicts. When you're in it for the long haul, every inch of that transparent plastic bag needs to be considered.
Eight hours of air con will suck the life out of any complexion, so intense hydration is essential for radiant landing. Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask (1) can be applied thinly and left to soak in to the skin for hours (without giving me a scary clay face), and Kiehl's' Rosa Artica Eye Cream (2) is perfect for patting on to my tired peepers.
Preparation for Arrivals begins at 39,000 ft. A deft spritz of a reviving formula like Rodial Dragon's Blood Hyaluronic Tonic (3) awakens and refreshes, and nothing beats Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit (4) for hiding the dark circles of a sleepless night. I always carry a 30ml bottle of fragrance (5,YSL, Manifesto ), and eyeliner (6,Dolce & Gabbana, Intense ) to create my favourite flicks. Top tip- never leave the country without a Clinique Chubby Stick (7)- it's colour and moisture in one.

Upgrade your outerwear by cinching in Winter coats, or forgo jewels in favour of a belted LBD for evening.
To truly give this belt the attention it deserves, we suggest an all-black ensemble consisting of a cigarette pant, fine knit cashmere polo and a crop jacket. Keep shoes slick and streamlined (try a Casadei pump) matching accessories died with the '80s.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Volunteers build reef balls at CBF Maryland Oyster Restoration Center. Photo by CBF Staff.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation recognizes that saving the Bay is uniquely tied to restoring the native oyster, Crassostrea virginica. The Bay's native oyster population has been estimated at as low as one percent of historic levels, making restoration critical to help improve the Bay's water quality and increase its economic viability.
In support of re-establishing this keystone species, CBF established its Maryland Oyster Restoration Center (ORC) in 2002. The ORC houses several large tanks for use in producing juvenile oysters, called 'spat.' It is also home to CBF's restoration vessel Patricia Campbell. The 60-foot boat transports and places hatchery-produced seed oysters onto sanctuary reefs throughout Maryland waters and carries oyster shell and other materials for reef construction. The ORC serves as the central location for all of CBF's oyster restoration activities in Maryland.
ORC houses several large tanks for use in producing juvenile oysters, called 'spat.' These setting tanks are loaded with oyster shell, and then filled with Bay water. Oyster larvae, usually produced by the University of Maryland's Horn Point Laboratory, are then released into the tanks. After a few days, these larvae attach, or 'set,' onto the old oyster shells, at which point they are called 'spat.' CBF and our volunteers produce millions of spat at ORC each year, and transplant them onto restored sanctuary reefs.
ORC is also the home port of the innovative oyster restoration vessel Patricia Campbell. With its state-of-the-art technology, it is the most advanced vessel in the Bay being used for oyster restoration. Using the Patricia Campbell, CBF staff builds reefs and plants them with juvenile oysters. Among the vessel's highlights is its custom conveyor belt system for planting reef material and oysters with pin-point accuracy. This helps the crew build oyster reefs to exact specifications. Learn more about the Patricia Campbell.
CBF's Oyster Gardening program allows citizens and students to grow oysters alongside their docks. Gardeners raise the oysters from 'spat' to adult, and eventually plant them onto sanctuary oyster reefs. ORC serves as a hub for the Oyster Gardening program, and ORC volunteers help produce juvenile oysters and pre-cut materials for the program. Check our Oyster Gardening program page for more information and to find out how you can become an oyster gardener.
Oyster shells are becoming increasingly scarce. Through CBF's Save Oyster Shell program, shells that would typically be thrown away are saved and used as homes for baby oysters (spat). Check our Save Oyster Shell page for dropoff locations and participating restaurants.

"I say to New Zealanders that think about crossing the Tasman, make sure you understand and you go there with your eyes open about what your rights and opportunities are," he said yesterday.
The reality was they might not get the rights they thought they would enjoy.
New Zealanders are allowed to live and work indefinitely in the country, but arrivals since 2001 without permanent residency or citizenship are denied support payments including the dole, access to student loans and most recently, will include no access to the national disability insurance scheme due to begin in July.
Labour foreign affairs spokesman, Phil Goff, who was Foreign Minister when John Howard's Coalition Government introduced the restrictions, has been campaigning to get rid of what he sees as creating permanent second-class citizens.
Mr Key made the comments at his post cabinet press conference after announcing a visit to Queenstown later this week of Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard for annual talks.
He said he expected the issue of how New Zealanders are treated in Australia to be raised again, as it had been for several years.
But it was up to Australia to determine its policy.
"We wouldn't take our riding instructions from the Australian Government of how Australians should be treated in New Zealand any more than we are going to dictate terms to the Australian Prime Minister of how New Zealanders should be treated in Australia.
He also confirmed there would be no attempt by New Zealand to place reciprocal limits on entitlements of Australian residents in New Zealand.
"There is clearly a difference. The reality is in New Zealand we accept Australians and on terms which see them enjoy essentially residency and citizenship under almost uniform conditions."
Australia would need to think those issues. For example if the children of New Zealanders who had lived in Australia for a long time were not allowed to access a student loan, that child might not end up in tertiary education.
"In New Zealand, we want to encourage people to get tertiary qualified because we know that leads to better financial outcomes for them and the country."
In the end countries have to think through their own policies but it is not for us to dictate that.
Australia had overridden its own rules from time to time as was evidenced with state assistance to victims of Queensland floods.
"It's certainly for me to make sure as best I can that New Zealanders are aware that while they have freedom of movement across the Tasman that it is not freedom of the right to become a permanent resident and ultimately a citizen of Australia.
Arrivals from New Zealand are granted a non-protected special category visa. About 240,000 arrived between 2001 and June 2011 and Griffith University estimated that about 40 per cent may have been eligible for permanent residency that was once virtually guaranteed.

F90 Modules and Include Files
Modules are a new feature added to the FORTRAN90 language primarily as an aid in program development. Modules provide a means for organizing global data, derived types and associated operations, interface blocks and namelists groups or other associated data and programming units.
Everything that is associated with a particular task may be contained in a single or group of related modules and accessed whenever it is needed. The internal parts that are of no immediate interest may be made invisible to application programmers using the module. This allows the internal design to be altered without the need to make changes to the program and also prevents accidental alternation of internal data.
The code below shows a simple module and its use:
All modules are contained in a single file, plib.f
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc module size integer, parameter:: ndim=256 end module size cccccc module reference_vectors use size real, dimension(ndim):: a1,a2 common /filters/ a1,a2 end module reference_vectors cccccc module set_reference_vectors contains subroutine set_vectors use reference_vectors a1=1 a2=2 end subroutine set_vectors end module set_reference_vectors cccccc module vector contains function dotpro(a,result) use size use reference_vectors real, dimension(ndim) :: a integer :: i do i=1,ndim result=result+a(i)*a1(i) enddo dotpro=result end function dotpro function sum(a,result) use size use reference_vectors real, dimension(ndim) :: a integer :: i do i=1,ndim result=result+a(i)+a2(i) enddo sum=result end function sum end module vector cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
In general a module consists of code which is surrounded by MODULE <x> and MODULE END <x> where <x> is the module name. Modules may reference other modules. If a module contains code this follows the CONTAINS statement.
The following is a description of the above modules and their purpose.
- size:
- Defines size of the data sets the program will work with. In
- this case the size is fixed and not within the control of the user.
- reference_vectors:
- This module contains two reference vector
- datasets. Note that it USEs module SIZE.
- set_reference_vectors:
- This module contains the subroutine to
- SET_VECTORS which initializes the reference vectors.
- vector:
- This contains two utility routines, DOTPRO and SUM. These are
- called by the user within the program to perform specific actions. Each
- routine USEs the REFERENCE_VECTOR module.
Note in the above how the module VECTOR subprograms have exactly the same form as an external subprogram. This allows the rapid migration of existing general Program utilities into modules. Care however must be taken in the structuring of these modules if they are to be useful and provide data protection.
The user's program is shown below. Note each module is USEd at points where either data or code contained in the module is required.
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc program motest use set_reference_vectors call set_vectors call work stop end subroutine work use size use vector real, dimension(ndim) :: a,b integer :: n real :: r1,r2,r3 do n=1,ndim a(n)=n b(n)=ndim-n enddo r2=0.0 r3=0.0 r1=dotpro(a,r2) r2=r2+sum(b,r3) write(6,*) ' result ',r1,r2,r3 return end cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
In the user's code the main program USEs SET_REFERENCE_VECTORS so the call to SET_VECTORS can be made to establish the supporting data structures. The user's routine WORK contains the main activity of the program. In WORK the module SIZE is USEd so the user can dimension vector A, VECTOR is used so the user can call DOTPRO and SUM routines. Note how the user has no access to the arrays A1 and A2.
- Are modules a great improvement over the logical use of include files?
The modules can be provided to a user as a compiled .o file or as a library/archive. Although similar results could be achieved with include files and libraries, the use of MODULEs has several advantages.
First, documentation need only reference those modules the user will need. In the above example this is SIZE, SET_VECTORS and VECTOR.
Second, modules provide information hiding. The user never directly references A1 and A2, which protects them against modification.
Third, Since MODULEs may reference other MODULEs programmers can build safe structures. This allows the users of libraries or complex data structures to avoid declaring any data structures except for local data within their own subroutines.
Modules can also be used to control which subroutines are available to the user at certain points within the program. For example, take the case of a parallel program where there are two different data distributions for a variable and the user is provided with a number of routines to update/enquire about this variable. The use of two modules named dist1 and dist2 might provide for an easy method of ensuring the user does not apply the wrong routines. Advanced cases dist1 and dist2 can contain version of routines with the same name which work with data in either dist1 and dist2 and the user can simple USE that which matches the data distribution. Again the usefulness of this feature requires careful design of code and structuring of the modules.
During the FORTRAN90 language creation process it was proposed that libraries would now consists of sets of modules.

Modules and Apprentice on the T3D/E
To use modules, T3D users must first ensure they are using the PE 2 release of the Fortran90 compiler. To do this, run the UNICOS command:
module list
If you see:
(which is the default T3D f90 compiler) then switch to version 2 by executing the command:
module switch cf90_m.0.1.3.0 cf90_m.184.108.40.206
You may want to run the PEvers utility (See the "Quick-Tip", newsletter #117 ), which lists all installed versions of the programming environment tools.
On the current release of Apprentice on the ARSC T3D, modules are treated in a similar manner to library routines and no information is collected. This is corrected on the T3E apprentice version, where information is displayed as if modules were subprograms. All features such as source display and investigation work correctly with the added value of a link directly to the entire module.
PGHPF Evaluation Program for CRAY T3E
ARSC will install HPF_CRAFT on yukon, and hopes that users will take advantage of it during the evaluation period. At the end of September, we must decide whether or not to purchase a license: your feedback will carry a lot of weight in this decision.
The following press release is a follow-up to last week's article:
> In mid-July, SGI/Cray and the Portland Group, Inc. (PGI) announced the > availability of HPF_CRAFT for the CRAY T3E. HPF_CRAFT delivers the > CRAFT capabilities introduced on the CRAY T3D within the context of the > industry standard language, HPF. The HPF_CRAFT implementation for the > CRAY T3E was developed through a joint agreement between the two > companies. > > See http://www.cray.com/news/9707/HPFCRAFT.html for more detail. > > HPF and CRAFT provide powerful capabilities for the rapid development > and checkout of parallel applications. Functionality and performance > continue to improve with each successive release of PGHPF, and PGHPF > 2.3 has even exhibited performance on some of the NAS Parallel > Benchmarks that exceeds that achieved by the portable MPI > implementations developed at NASA Ames (NPB 2.2). (See > http://www.pgroup.com/npb_results.html for details.) > > To mark the release of HPF_CRAFT, PGI is offering free evaluation > copies of the PGHPF 2.3 compiler, which includes support for HPF_CRAFT, > to all CRAY T3E sites, for use through September 30, 1997. Customers > can download the compiler and license directly over the Internet. > > http://www.pgroup.com/T3E/HPF_eval.htm > > The 3.0 release of the CF90 Programming Environment must be installed > in order to use PGHPF 2.3. For more information on this release, see > the June 1997 issue of the Cray Research Service Bulletin. > > Customers who wish to use PGHPF after September 30, 1997, will need to > purchase a license by contacting SGI/Cray.
ARSC is currently performing internal evaluation of PGHPF. Users interested in participating should contact Guy Robinson ( firstname.lastname@example.com ).
ARSC Users: Dot to be Removed from Default PATH
In order to improve system security, ARSC will remove the current directory, specified by a "." or dot, from the system supplied default PATH on all ARSC systems. Schedule for removal:
yukon: [Never did have dot in default PATH.] SGI's: [Was removed on 8/4/97.] denali: To be removed on 8/18/97.
This change may cause scripts, including NQS scripts, to fail! In particular, if your script includes something like this:
cd ~/project/progs a.out
then a.out will not be found. The preferred way for users to adjust to this change is to specify all paths explicitly. For instance:
cd ~/project/progs ./a.out
For details and more examples, see "news dotinpath" on denali, the SGIs, or yukon, or read:
ARSC Users: Reminder of seven day purge on /tmp
The purge policy on yukon has been in place since June 13. This is from "news purge":
/tmp and core files subject to automatic purging ================================================ Effective immediately, all files in /tmp, or named 'core' or 'mppcore', will be automatically deleted seven days following their last access time. These steps are being taken to conserve limited storage resources, and are subject to change. If oversubscription persists, this interval may be reduced to fewer than 7 days. Users who attempt to circumvent this policy by "touching" files will be detected and may lose their account privileges.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ If you have a few heavily used directories and "cd" back and forth between them often, what shortcut will save you from typing the entire path each time? }} # # Here are a couple of methods: # # 1) For users of csh, tcsh, and other derivatives, a couple of # readers suggested pushd and popd. Readers also suggested # aliases similar to these (for C-shell): # alias sv1 'setenv wd1 $PWD' alias sv2 'setenv wd2 $PWD' alias cd1 'cd $wd1' alias cd2 'cd $wd2' alias sv 'echo \$wd1= $wd1\\n\$wd2= $wd2' # # "sv1" would save the current directory to the variable "wd1"; # "cd1" would return to it later; and "sv" would list the saved # directories. # # # 2) CDPATH is a useful tool for users of POSIX shells (Korn, sh, # etc...). Like PATH, you set CDPATH to a list of directories. # Then, when you execute a "cd", the shell searches those direct- # ories, in order, for the requested directory. Using last week's # example, if Armadillov defined his CDPATH environment variable # as follows: yukon$ CDPATH=":/tmp/armadill/meltdown/data/1997_06:" yukon$ CDPATH="$CDPATH:~/meltdown/results" # # Then he could issue these commands: # yukon$ cd 1 yukon$ run_em yukon$ cd 1997 yukon$ store_em # # Instead of these: # yukon$ cd /tmp/armadill/meltdown/data/1997_06/1 yukon$ run_em yukon$ cd ~/meltdown/results/1997 yukon$ store_em Q: How can you merge two versions of a C or Fortran source into a single file so that you may compile either version by simply defining (or undefining) a preprocessor variable? For example: -- version 1 -- #include <stdio.h> main () { printf ("Hello world...\n"); } -- version 2 -- #include <stdio.h> main () { printf ("Hello from: FILE:%s LINE:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__); } -- merged version -- #include <stdio.h> main () { #ifndef DEBUG printf ("Hello world...\n"); #else /* DEBUG */ printf ("Hello from: FILE:%s LINE:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__); #endif /* DEBUG */ }

Sandy Gervais is here on the Jolly Jabber to chit chat about her newest collection for Moda Fabrics. Flirt is filled with hearts, flowers and birds, all coordinated with wavy plaids and dots! In a color palette of red, aqua and grey, this group is sure to have you love birds singing.
Q: To what or whom would you dedicate this collection?
A: To all of you love birds out there – this one is for you.
Q: What is your favorite project using this collection?
A: I like the Spring Sampler Block of Month. I like the mix of the pieced blocks with the appliqué and the birds makes me smile.
Q: If you could live in a movie, what movie would it be?
A: Breakfast at Tiffany's or The Devil Wears Prada – I would love to wear the beautiful clothes. My dream job would be to work in the fashion world.
Q: What do you get nostalgic over?
A: Visits to my Grammie Fishers. The only toys she had in the house were marbles, yet we loved to go there as we could find so many ways to entertain ourselves. We made hollyhock dolls, played hide the thimble and sorted through her button box just to name a few.
Q: What is your favorite TV show of all time?
A: Sex in the City – again love the clothes and the bonds of friendship. Cheers, Seinfeld and Friends are my favorite all time sitcoms. I never tire of watching the reruns.
Q: What's the strangest compliment you've ever received?
A: This is not really a compliment but more of a comment. For a long time – and it is still happening – people did not connect Sandy Gervais of Pieces From My Heart (my pattern company) to Sandy Gervais fabric designer for Moda Fabrics. Many times someone would stop by my booth at market and say – boy you sure use a lot of Sandy Gervias' fabric. Then I say "well I am Sandy Gervais." Another time someone standing in my booth said – I really like this fabric – it kind of has a Sandy Gervais feel. – and I say – "well that's good because I am Sandy Gervais." Rosy cheeks always follow these conversations.

"I've seen blinds placed in this manner - ribbon on the wall of cover and the bird placed within inches or right against or even slightly IN to the cover. Very nasty handling issues at the ends of these blinds even in Master, but I've seen them in Senior tests as well.
I'm starting to wonder if they are really fair to 'teams' at all."
As long has pup has a chance to retrieve the bird w/o whacking his head on a tree stump or log and handler can see pup to the bird I have no problem with it. Shows marking and perserverance. And yes, it can get dicey at distance if pup is not already set up in the right direction. But it's a thing of beauty to see pup hold a good line and push through a wall of cover for the retrieve.
Although I believe that bird placement is more art than science, I also believe that there are certain fundamental principles of bird placement

By and large, I prefer for my marks to be downwind. Cross wind marks can be effective, but generally require distance to work.
Because people seem to have an easier time setting up blinds than marks, one way to think about creating a good mark, is to think about the elements of a good blind.
If a blind is easy, it is easy for the dog to run a straight line from point A to point B.
If a blind is difficult, it is easy for the dog to run a straight line from point A to point B.
At the most elementary level, if you want to make a mark difficult, you want to make it difficult for a dog to run a straight line from point A to point B.
We often speak of a difficult blind as having a beginning, middle and end. That is, there are elements throughout the blind - at beginning, middle and end - that make it difficult to run a straight line from point A to point B.
The more obstacles you put between point A and point B, the more difficult it is to run a straight line between those two points. So, for example, between point A and point B, you could put the following:
• a log
• a piece of cover
• a road
• a ditch
• a stream
Some obstacles, for example, a large bale of hay, necessarily preclude a dog from running straight. Others such as a log may do so, but do not necessarily do so.
As a general rule, you make obstacles more difficult the farther you put them away from the start. For example, if you have a log that is three feet from the mat, the dog is likely to jump it. If you put the log thirty yards from the mat, the dog has more room to avoid the obstacle, and may skirt it.
You can also make obstacles more effective if you arrange them so that a dog must navigate them at an angle. Shallow angles are generally more effective than steep angles in diverting a dog's path.
For example, let's return to our log. Imagine that the dog is running from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock. The log is oriented from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock. If the dog jumps the log, it is likely to remain on path. Now imagine that the log is oriented from 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock. When the untrained dog jumps that log, it is likely to square its exit and be diverted from its path from 6 to 12.
This principle - using angles to subtly divert dogs - is one that many good marks employ.
That's all I can write tonight.
I am on the road tomorrow to the Sunflower field trial, so others can pick up the torch from here. Or I can continue next week.

When I train my dogs and I throw a mark that they fail, I try to make a mental note of it, and when I set future tests up it can sometimes pop out of my feeble head and make a difference. Here are some of the concepts that I have found are effective marking concepts. In a trial, you might call them the money marks.
Indented triple. This means the two longer marks are equal distance to make up the outside legs of a "V". At the base of the V, is the short retired bird. Usually in an AA test the left leg of the V will be the long retired, and the shorter base of the V is the short retired. The flier is shot last, and is the top of the V on the right. Of course, wind and terrain and the way the longer marks are laid out plays into making this the hardest concept in field trials. It is also called the McCassey Special, named after the legend John McAssey, who just recently passed away.
If you set this test up in a strong, straight downwind, it will eat up dogs. If the wind switches, they can eat you up as a judge. If you really want the short retired to be harder, then you leave out the long retired and just make it a long mark. The suction of this will make the short retired harder.
This setup is why about half of the marking setups in a training day (when I'm training anyway), have a short retired in it.
Another tough concept is to throw a retired gun at the edge of a pond, with a long mark behind it. If you can put the gunner in a layout blind, it's even harder. Of course the field trial Guru's don't like layout blinds and are trying to outlaw them. PLEASE have your club vote against this bad, bad rule. (off my soap box now).
In an open field dogs will run and mark around trees. (Which is why I want to keep layout blinds). If you can put a bird in a place that is open, with trees nearby, dogs that are in trouble will go to the trees. They will also leave the area and go up a hill if that's available.
Throwing marks at the base of brush piles is effective.
Putting a mark about thirty yards behind a clump of trees in an open field works too. Dogs again want to hunt around something.
Out of order fliers always screw up a dog, although I'm not that much of a fan of them. You need to train on them.
For younger dogs a long mark thrown after a short mark on a double is tough. If the dogs has to run past scent it's really tough.
Marks thrown towards another one is difficult. Hip pockets, etc.
Mamas and Poppas are very hard and most folks don't train on them much because it confuses dogs and teaches them to hunt behind a gunner.
Marks thrown against a tree line can be hard.
Dogs like to square hills. Dogs on a side of a hill at an angle to the line make this tougher. IE, the dog doesn't believe in himself or the factors cause him to cave and run straight up hill. Getting out after a long swim makes this really hard.
That's enough for me too....

Google Pixel vs. Nexus 6P: Which is the Better Android Smartphone?
Posted by Kevin Nether Categories: Cell Phones, Editorial, Handhelds, Product Reviews
The Pixel and the Nexus are like brothers from another mother. On the one hand, you've got Google's best from last year and on the other, Google's best from this year. But how does the Nexus 6P stack up against the Pixel, one year later? Let's find out.
If you look at design, they're pretty far apart. The 6P's metal build with a visor up top is definitely premium but so is the Pixel's metal and glass combination. Their size comes down to personal preference but you can pick up the Pixel over the Pixel XL if size matters to you.

Apple adds to iPad Pro line with new 9.7-inch model, 256GB options
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Handhelds
During its Let Us Loop You In event, Apple announced an expansion of the iPad Pro lineup, introducing a new 9.7-inch model that brings over all of the features from the larger 12.9-inch version, including support for the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil. Apple actually improved upon the specs of the larget iPad Pro, bringing features like True Tone display (which adjusts the white balance of the display on the fly, depending on the lighting conditions of the surrounding area), and better cameras to the mid-sized model - you get a 12 megapixel camera on the new model, compared to 8 megapixel on the larger version, and the front camera is 5 megapixels rather than 1.2 megapixels. Additionally, Apple is providing a rose gold color for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
One other change to the iPad Pro lineup is that, for the first time ever, iOS devices will be sold with a 256GB option. This applies to both iPad Pro models. You can pick up the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro starting at 32GB for $599, 128GB for $749, and 256GB for $899 for the Wi-Fi models. If you want Wi-Fi + Cellular, pricing is $729, $879, and $1029 respectively.

iPhone SE: An iPhone 6S in an iPhone 5 body for $399
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds
During its Let Us Loop You In event, Apple announced the new iPhone SE. Citing the demand from iPhone owners who don't want a larger display than what was offered on the iPhone 5 series of devices, the iPhone SE maintains the 4-inch display that was found on the iPhone 5 and 5S, but upgrades everything under the hood. It's powered by the far more capable Apple A9 and M9 chips, which are found in the current iPhone 6S flagships. The camera is also brought over from the latest models, giving the iPhone SE an upgraded 12 megapixel camera which supports Live Photos and shoots in 4K. Apple Pay support is also onboard, as is 802.11ac Wi-Fi and "Hey Siri" hands-free control. All-in-all Apple says the new iPhone SE is twice as fast as the iPhone 5S that it replaces.
The iPhone SE starts at $399 for the 16GB model, which makes it the cheapest iPhone ever. If you need more storage than that 16GB, there's also a 64GB model for $499. You can order ir starting on March 24.

Apple to introduce the iPhone SE the week of March 21st
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds
Apple is reportedly working on launching a 4-inch iPhone model dubbed the iPhone SE. Similar to what Apple has done with the iPhone 5c version albeit, in this case, with upgraded specs that are akin to the iPhone 6; perhaps higher. This is great news for those that find the bigger smartphones a bit unwieldy but without sacrificing cutting edge specs.
The iPhone SE design is slated to look closer to the iPhone 5s but with tapered edges mimicking the iPhone 6 design. A hybrid of sorts. All the newer bells and whistles will be included such as Apple's in-house designed silicon A9 processor, M9 co-processor, perhaps all-in-one chip, "Hey Siri", full Live Photo support, and an improved 8-megapixal iSight camera. Also rumored is Touch ID/Apple Pay features and, of course, upgraded wireless capabilities. Storage will likely be 16GB and 64GB. I must say, you might as well pony up for the 64GB version because 16GB is so 2007.
Mark your calendars for March 21st because it's that time of year again where Apple reveals all the new cool gear. There's a high probability that iPhone SE might go on sale as quick as March 25th.

Top 10 Gear Live tech stories of 2015
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Wearables, Editorial, Features, Handhelds, Mods / Hacks, Movies, Software, Transportation, Videos
We've come to the end of another year, and as we wave goodbye to 2013, we figured it was only fitting that we share the most popular stories published on Gear Live this year, as determined by our readers (we've also got the top ten most read stories regardless of publish date, as well as the ten most popular Gear Live videos of 2013!) These are the ten stories that were read the most, and when you consider that fact, it's pretty surprising to see what made the list. Let's kick it off with our most read story of the year:
OS X El Capitan will be released on September 30:
Anticipation for Apple's newest desktop operating system, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, trumped all other news here on Gear Live in 2015!

Give a surprising--and pleasing--new taste to traditional nuts-and-cereal snack mix with a few drops of liquid smoke.
Liquid smoke is natural smoke flavor captured in water sprayed over burning mesquite or hickory wood. The smoky-flavored water is purified and seasoned with a bit of molasses and vinegar before it is bottled. Look for it near the condiments (mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce) in the grocery store.
This snack mix tastes just as good at room temperature as it does warm; prepare the recipe in advance and let it cool completely. Seal the mix in an airtight container for up to three days.
Children notice and appreciate cute details: Use fish-shaped cheese crackers to make the snack mix fun.

- forgot to mention... Review by Tonilakaya
You can't feel it on your skin. I cannot stand when anything touches my skin....this thing is great! (Posted on 4/17/15)
- pink zebra love!!! Review by Lakaya
Love it, love it, love it! I have a very small writs for a female.... And stuff i like usually isnt avaiable in my size...and fun stuff I want is usually too little. This is perfect! What's more ....they have a wide selecting and you don't have worry that allergy alert isn't gonna cause more issues. My last bracelet came from the grocery store...it was made of nickle...I'm allergic to nickle. This place has several design and material choices. Dressy to casual... They got your hook up. Almost every motif you can think of...its all good! I really love you that I can get more bands to dress up the tag or just go ahead and get a few of them so all bases are covered. (Posted on 4/17/15)
- Great! Review by mrs. B
My 5 year old prefers her other pattern bracelet, but having the ability to change the id with multiple affordable bracelets is what I love. The bracelet is very adjustable. My daughter is very small for her age and wears this comfortably. I wish it was just a bit wider so I could have had more text lines, but that would probably make it more uncomfortable. Very happy with this product. My daughter reminds me to put it on, so I know she is happy to wear it. (Posted on 9/10/14)
- Very cute! Review by Monica
My daughter loves her bracelet. We bought an additional band so she can switch it out to go with different outfits! It's comfortable and cute! (Posted on 9/1/14)
- allergic Review by Bob
Bought this for my daughter and it caused her wrist to break out in a rash (Posted on 12/23/13)
- Love it Review by Jaydee
My daughter (8), loves this bracelet, it's very easy for her to put on herself and fits excellent considering she has very tiny wrists, we can adjust it if needed. Very satisfied!! (Posted on 10/9/13)
- My daughter loved her bracelet! Review by Valerie
My daughter loves her pink zebra ID bracelet!!! She couldn't wait to wear the bracelet to school to show off to her friends. I was so happy to see that she liked it and made her adjustments to her diagnosis a lot easier. I was extremely satisfied with the fast shipping! Thank you! (Posted on 9/4/13)
- Love it! Review by Momma D
My daughter got the pink zebra stripe band with the purple medical logo. She LOVES it! Very comfortable--she wears it all the time and only takes it off at bath time. Love that it is adjustable. I wish there was room for more engraving, but I was able to fit enough on there--name, type 1 diabetes, insulin, and 2 phone #s. I did have to split some information between 2 lines. (Posted on 8/21/13)
- Perfect for my daughter Review by Lori Avanzi
We love this bracelet. She has a tiny wrist and this was easy to adjust, and comfortable for her to wear. Very secure which was important because she is very active. She also loved the style. Lightning fast shipping. (Posted on 6/14/13)
- More room to engrave Review by Christin
My daughter loves this bracelet. She found it comfortable, and it doesn't fall off easily. We bought is so she would have one for sports and swimming. The only problem is that the line wasn't long enough to put her full name. Even when I took out the space it didn't fit. She has a medical issue that really could have used 2 lines, but I was able to fit it in one, and I used 2 lines for ICE phone number and the Dr. phone number. I couldn't put her name on 2 lines as a result.
I bought an extra band which is nice to give her some variety. All in all we like it. (Posted on 6/2/13)
- Very cute but engraving cost doubled the price! Review by Ryan
This was my first time having to purchase a medical id bracelet so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really liked this bracelet for my daughter. I also like the fact that she can't undo the clip by herself. This way she can't take it off and leave it all over the place. I also like that she could choose the color of the slider but by the time I added all of the engraving the price was doubled! I don't know if that is normal but I was a little disappointed because I originally thought the cost of the bracelet was very reasonable. (Posted on 5/6/13)
- Pink zebra medical if bracelet Review by Julie
My daughter loves this medical bracelet. It's stylish and very lightweight. Great choice for us! (Posted on 4/15/13)
- Daughter loves it Review by Christina
My preteen daughter loves this bracelet. She was thrilled about the zebra print so she is very willing to wear it. (Posted on 1/19/13)
- very happy Review by Amy
My dtr loves this bracelet. I just wish there was a little more room for engraving. Not sure how to make that happen though as the metal alert area is still a little wide for her wrist. No problems with the clasp at all. I like that she is unable to take it off herself. I recommend the bracelet! It arrived quickly and the staff were very helpful since I am a last minute type of person and needed it for an upcoming trip. Thank you! (Posted on 11/26/12)
- Overall good but band does not fit well in adjustable clasp Review by Sharon
Very cute design. The band appeals to my 5- year old. I also like that the allergy information is on the inside of the plate so that a stranger doesn't get any immediate personal information about my child with a quick look. My biggest concern is that the band is too thick for the plastic adjustable strap making it difficult to adjust. It also is difficult to close because of the thickness. (Posted on 9/10/12)
- AWESOME Review by Katherine Rich
Very impressed with the medical id bracelet and my daughter LOVES it was worth the money (Posted on 9/5/12)
- Comfortable and quick turn around. Review by Meg
The bracelet arrived quickly, and is comfortable and comes a a variety of designs that appeal to kids. My child put it on immediately when it arrived, and she enjoys wearing it! (Posted on 9/4/12)
- Perfect for a tween! Review by Mary
Ordered this for a family friend. She loves it! Great for her age (10) and the tween style. Also, happy with how quickly or arrived. (Posted on 8/28/12)
- My daughter loves it Review by Barbara
My 7-year-old daughter loves it! She wants more! (Posted on 7/12/12)
- Attention Review by Jenna Gamble
Doesnt bring the un-wanted attention,but just enough
at the right times (Posted on 7/3/12)
- Love it!! Review by Jenna Gamble
Love it!! Cute & shows my personality,but doesnt bring
un-wanted attention.Thanks. (Posted on 7/3/12)
- Amazing Review by Jennifer
I wear this everyday ad it holds up so well. I finally will wear a medical alert bracelet because these don't look like one but has all the information regarding my disease for paramedics should the need arise. (Posted on 6/23/12)
- Love it! Review by Lori
Looks great! My daughter lovesit!
I like the engraving...very easy to read.
Only drawback clasp hard to do with one hand so I have to help her every time she takes it off. (Posted on 6/22/12)
- Wish it was larger, and it's hard to get on! Review by Felicia
Fitst my wrist nice but I wish it was wider. I have a bracelet like this that is wider and fits a LOT more text that I got for the same price. I couldn't even get my whole name on there. The clasp is also very hard to get undone, I cannot do it myself and I have to ask others to take it off (what a pain) and even then it's a little difficult! It's really cute but I doubt I'll order another one. (Posted on 4/7/12)

On Saturday, January 26th, hangouts like Zeek's Pizza in Kirkland, Washington and Ozzie's Restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri will have something in common with 70 other sites across the country. They will all be tuning in to watch the action unfold as the men's basketball teams from Hope College and Calvin College meet on the hard-court for the 167th time.
The events, organized by the Alumni Associations of Hope College in Holland, MI and Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of a tradition that brings alumni, parents, and friends from the two schools together each winter.
Over the years fans of this nationally recognized rivalry have had much to cheer about. Since 1920, the two teams have faced each other 166 times, with each team winning 83 of the contests. Amazingly, over the history of the matchup, only 55 points separate the two teams. Hope has scored 11,176 points, while Calvin has scored 11,121.
The "satellite parties", today hosted in New York, Los Angeles, and 68 other locations in between, were started in 1999 after representatives from both schools discovered a satellite broadcast of the Monon Bell Rivalry, an annual college football matchup between DePauw University and Wabash College. The first year of the Hope vs. Calvin telecast featured rented time on a satellite that relayed the signal from WGVU in Grand Rapids, MI to just over 20 sites.
Today, with the help of digital satellite broadcasting and CSTV (College Sports Television Network), the WGVU telecast of The Rivalry has grown to include 70 official sites. A complete listing of the parties, as well as statistics and history of the Rivalry, can be found online at www.hopecalvin.com.
The next meeting between the two teams, a 88 year-old tiebreaker of sorts, is scheduled to tip-off on Saturday, January 26th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. If you listen carefully, you'll be able to hear the cheers from a location near you.

Reaches up to 3,000 ft. even at cruising speeds
Plug-and-play: Compatible with Northstar 8000i
Plug-and-play: Compatible with Simrad GB40
Raising the bar in fish-finding technology, the BSM-1 high-speed Ethernet-based system delivers peerless echo clarity and the highest underwater definition ever achieved. Whether you're identifying fish in kelp beds or deep canyons, this sounder has a tri-frequency capability for optimal water column performance: 200 kHz for shallow inshore, 50 kHz for deep offshore, or 83 kHz for a blend of both.

This plug-and-play module is compatible with the award winning Northstar 8000i and Simrad GB40 navigation systems. Separating noise from structure and bottom is the primary purpose of an echosounder, and with less noise, the BSM-1 spends more energy offering better resolution and returns.

Celebrate the Season - Fall Baking Recipe Magazine Contest 2010 shared by Susan Scarborough from Fernandina Beach, Florida
"As a kid, I loved southern sweets, and I still do. Trouble is, I now know about (and love) the treats from other cultures too. So since I can't choose, I combine. These cupcakes are like an Italian Cream Cake, but with pecans instead of walnuts or hazelnuts, plus a little bourbon to warm them up." Susan Scarborough
Lightly spray lined muffin pan with cooking spray to help prevent cupcake crowns from sticking to pan.
Look for the glazed pecans in the produce or snack section of your grocery store.

In the 1850s Christopher Dresser, who had trained as a botanist and as a designer, began to write on the relationship between nature and design, promoting a simple and functional approach to the design of manufactured goods. Following a visit to Japan in 1876, he was strongly influenced by Japanese art and design and incorporated these ideas into his designs for British glass, ceramic, metal and furniture manufacturers.
This glass and silver-plated metal decanter illustrates Dresser's simple, geometric design style. The use of clear glass, framed by minimal bright metal, shows the colour of wine to maximum advantage.

5) Find the shyster who sold me all that dehydrated water.
4) Wonder if we wouldn't have been better off getting zapped with Y2K.
3) Convert my anti-Y2K-Bug tinfoil hat back into an anti-Katie-Couric-Mind-Control tinfoil hat.
2) Make sure the babes in the bunker still think we need to repopulate Earth.
1) Make friends with the 6 billion other Y2K survivors.

La Cienega Target, nothing. Wow, huge surprise.
What grade would you give Retaliation then? If you can't give them number grades, what about letter grades? What about ANY grade?I'm not sure what numerical score I'd give to IM3 but less than I would give for Retaliation which I felt was merely adequate but not something I'd really want to see again
NO KIDDING, this line looks so bad, a very lazy and stupid cash-in.The toy line for IM3 is lackluster as well. You'd think they would capitalize on all the various armors like the Heartbreaker, Red Snapper and Igor but the best Hasbro can do are poorly articulated repaints?
