Here's a Halloween treat that will please people who love apples as well as those who love candy. Use the smallest apples you can find. Lady apples are great, but small (no bigger than a tangerine). McIntosh, Empire, and Granny Smith apples will also work. Coat the caramel with whatever candy you like. I like the candies listed here for the way they taste or look: Toffee bars are universally appealing; Reese's Pieces come in seasonal fall colors of orange, yellow, and brown; the cinnamon flavor of Red Hots complements the apples; and candy corn just says Halloween.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Place the candies in separate small bowls. Insert a craft stick into the stem end of each apple.
Put unwrapped caramels and heavy cream in a medium-size, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat and stir until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth.
Hold an apple by its stick over the pot of caramel and spoon the caramel over the apple to coat, allowing the excess to drip back into the pot (if the caramel gets too stiff to spoon, reheat for a minute or two to loosen). Press the candy into the apple and place, stick side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples, coating two apples in each type of candy. Let stand until the caramel has cooled, about 10 minutes. The apples will keep, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature for up to 2 days.

A Shakespearean Mash Up
This summer the Los Angeles based Troubadour Theater Company is reprising its role as masters of the Shakespearean mash up. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you A Midsummer Saturday Night's Fever Dream.
You may have guessed it, though you might not believe it: one theater company has poured all the funk, bellbottoms, and embarrassing dance moves of 70s disco into the world's most timeless romantic comedy ever to be written in iambic pentameter. But lest you think this is a joke, you should know that the Troubies (as they're affectionately known round these parts) are old hands at the genre. After all, these are the folks who brought you…

Awesome! No warning last time, and two hours after I'm well away from any computer this time! If I still manage to miss out on this set, Mattel will only be assuring that I won't be buying any of the rest of the Crime Syndicate.
Awesome! No warning last time, and two hours after I'm well away from any computer this time! If I still manage to miss out on this set, Mattel will only be assuring that I won't be buying any of the rest of the Crime Syndicate.
Because Mattel hates selling product, I suspect.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Yeah, I got lucky this time, and they didn't sell out. Not only that, but I've already received them from UPS this afternoon! Cool figures!
I bought DCUC Robin over the weekend. That was the first time I had seen him at retail and this was the All Star packaging version, btw.
I got the Infinite Crisis Superman/Supergirl/Wonder Girl today. At Ross. For $4.99. For my daughter, who loves Superman.
When I actually opened them for her, I was shocked. These IC figures look mediocre in the package, but they're really, really awful once opened. Mattel put these out against Marvel's 3.75" figures, which have production values similar to GIJoe or Star Wars? What the hell were they smoking?
I paid $5 for them, for a 3-year-old, and I feel ripped off! Luckily, she likes Superman and "the girls," and that's what counts.
Aside from the really shoddy construction, I'm not sure what disturbs me more: the incredible amount of disparity between Superman (who looks like someone at least tried to make an action figure) or the two females (who are weak even by Happy Meal standards), or the fact that, though the box clearly was intact and untampered-with, it came with two stands for three figures. Not sure how that works. She has no use for the stands, and I can find a definite purpose for them, so no biggie, but, still, is that crappy quality control, or do they not know that two is not equal to three?
Bottom line: I can't believe this was originally $15.
That's my jacket!
Chux, Mattel includes stands only for female figures in Infinite Heroes and Justice League Unlimited. If it's multipack and there are 2 females, you get 2 stands and if only one, you get only one stand.
In terms of acquisitions, I found a Shazam/Captain Marvel with Kalibak piece last week so I just need the head and torso. I'd bid for them but I'd like the Killer Moth figure as well.
I spotted the TRU exclusive MM 12'' Joker a few days ago; I have to say this looks MUCH MUCH better in person. The black paint around the eyes isn't out of control like we saw on promo photos; it looks really cool.
Not $40 cool, but cool nonetheless. Had it been in the $20 range, i'd consider it, but $40? Nah.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Stands only for the women? I guess it's to make up for figures that look like a** and have totally ridiculous proportions (like waists narrower than necks).
BTW, when did Wonder Girl get so dramatically "re-interpreted" so as to have enough confidence to not wear the wig and goggles, much less bare most of her upper body? I actually thought the totally self-conscious superhero was a clever idea.
That's my jacket!
She grew up. Wonder Girl, in recent years, has gone through a pretty nicely handled bit of character growth and development which has led to her coming out of her shell and becoming a very strong, confident woman - as is befitting of a character so closely tied to the Amazons. I say in recent years, but this actually started even back when she was still part of Young Justice. Actually, the figure is so poorly designed that it's ended up showing what appears to be a lot more flesh than was frequently seen in the books. Wonder Girl has also recently taken to wearing a newer, much more modest (and in my opinion, much cooler) costume:

Penalosa, former mayor of Bogota, Columbia, will present a public lecture titled "A New Model for the Third World City" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3, in Betts Auditorium, School of Architecture.
Penalosa served as mayor of Bogota from 1998 to 2001, during which time he led a massive effort to improve Bogotas marginal neighborhoods infrastructures, promoting high citizen involvement.

During his tenure, enrollment in public schools increased by 34 percent, more than 100 nursery schools were built for children under age 5, improvements were made to more than 150 existing school buildings and 50 new schools were built. All public schools were linked to the Internet via a network of 14,000 computers, and several new libraries were constructed.

[quote=Roger Perry;761919]The oil prices are on the rise because of the unrest in the Middle East Libya in particular. How may I ask is it the fault/doing of the Obama administration.
Oil prices rose beginning in 2002 & 2003 with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq which was directly related to the actions taken by the Bush administration. When was the last time you saw oil at $40.00 a barrel? During the Clinton administration?????????[/quote]
Please don't twist the facts!
Price of oil plummetted in 1985 and stayed below $40 per barrel until 1999.
In the second half of the 80's both Iran and Iraq were producing oil at breakneck speed in financing thier war with one another.
Price had NOTHING to do with Clinton!
India's and China's demand for oil has more than tripled since 1999.
Oil was actually below $20 per barrel until Jimmy Carter became President! During his term the cost skyrocketed.

Southwestern Welcomes New Full-Time Faculty for 2007-2008
Two new full-time faculty members will be joining Southwestern this fall.
David Fagundes has been appointed as Associate Professor of Law. He will
initially teach courses in Copyright and Property. Julie K. Waterstone has
been appointed as Associate Clinical Professor of Law. She will help develop
and direct the new Children's Rights Clinic.
"Both bring outstanding academic and professional credentials as well as tremendous enthusiasm for teaching and research," Dean Garth said. "They are great bets to be future leaders of their fields."
Professor Fagundes earned his A.B. degree in History, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, in 1996 from Harvard where he received the Philip Washburn Prize for best senior history thesis, the William Scott Ferguson Award for best sophomore essay, and the Department of History Award for best overall record as a history concentrator. For law school, he remained at Harvard where he served as an articles editor of the Harvard Law Review and earned his J.D. degree, cum laude, in 2001. Originally from Southern California, he worked in the Los Angeles offices of Munger, Tolles & Olson; Irell & Manella; and Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton as a summer associate while a law student, and is a member of the California State Bar.
After law school, Professor Fagundes clerked for Judge David S. Tatel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and then worked as an associate at Jenner & Block LLP for two years in Washington, D.C. His time in Washington included a leave from practice to be a Visiting Research Fellow at Georgetown University Law Center. In 2005, Professor Fagundes joined the University of Chicago Law School as a Bigelow Fellow and Lecturer in Law. During his two years there, he taught legal research and writing while developing his own scholarship, including "State Actors as First Amendment Speakers," an article recently published in the Northwestern University Law Review.
Professor Fagundes' research and teaching interests cover a variety of property law issues, including copyright, real property and land use. His current research concerns the relationship between tangible and intangible property, and in particular whether rules governing physical property can provide a template for thinking about intellectual property as well.
"The notion of property is ancient, but it has undergone profound changes in recent years," he said. "Examining different subject matter - real estate, chattels, copyrights, or patents - forces us to ask foundational questions about what property is, both as a social institution and a legal idea."
Professor Waterstone earned her B.A. degree in Law and Society with honors in 1995 at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She completed her J.D. degree in 2000 at Northwestern University School of Law where she was first exposed to child advocacy as a law student working with children in the delinquency system through the Children and Family Justice Center of Northwestern's Bluhm Legal Clinic.
After graduation, Professor Waterstone served as a civil litigator and handled some pro bono cases at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy in Los Angeles for three years. She then wanted to pursue public interest law full time and accepted a position with the Civil Legal Clinic at the University of Mississippi School of Law where as a clinical professor, she created and developed the Child Advocacy Clinic, supervised students and taught the accompanying clinic seminar. Three years later, she once again returned to Los Angeles where she joined Public Counsel as a staff attorney, litigating special education cases and training lawyers and law students as pro bono special education advocates.
At Southwestern, Professor Waterstone will have the opportunity to apply her skills and knowledge while directing and teaching in the law school's new Children's Rights Clinic. She will work with approximately eight students each semester on a variety of legal issues that best suit the needs of the community's youth and at the same time provide valuable experiences for the law students. She will help create and develop a program that she hopes "will ignite in students the same fire for public interest law and pro bono work."
A member of the California and Mississippi State Bars, Professor Waterstone maintains an active role in the community and has served on a number of boards, including the Executive Board of the Mississippi chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Advisory Board of the Southern Juvenile Defender Center, and the Legal Advisory Committee of the Anti-Defamation League of Los Angeles.

VIDEO: Cougs hold first spring scrimmage
PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State football held its first full scrimmage of spring practice in Martin Stadium Saturday afternoon. Quarterbacks Austin Apodaca and Connor Halliday combined to throw five touchdown passes while the defense picked off three passes and recorded five sacks in the Cougars first full scrimmage of the spring.VIDEO: Cougs hold first spring scrimmage
Following a special teams segment, the Cougars scrimmaged for over 100 plays in front of a couple hundred fans in Martin Stadium. Halliday went 25-of-36 for 249 yards and three touchdowns while Apodaca went 19-of-34 for 228 yards and two touchdowns but also threw three interceptions. Apodaca also recorded a 30-yard run and scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak. Wide receiver Gabe Marks continued his impressive spring with a scrimmage-high 11 catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns while Kristoff Williams also caught two touchdown passes and finished the day with seven receptions for 97 yards. Bobby Ratliff came up with a couple big first down catches during his six-catch 53-yard day. Rickey Galvin caught five passes for 48 yards, Kyle Adkins caught three passes including a 21-yard touchdown and running back Theron West led all rushers with six carries for 26 yards.
Kicker Andrew Furney got the offense on the board with a 42-yard field goal and fellow kicker Wes Concepcion later hit form 27-yards out. The first touchdown pass didn't come until midway through the scrimmage as the defense made a number of stops including the three interceptions early in the day. Halliday put the offense on the board after finding Adkins in the back left corner of the end zone for a 21-yard score. Halliday then capped the next series with a nine-yard pass to Kristoff Williams in a similar spot.
A couple series later, Apodaca finished off a drive with a perfectly thrown pass over the shoulder of Marks from three yards out for a score and followed with another scoring series with a touchdown strike to Williams who turned a quick screen into a 44-yard score after making one defender miss. The offense got on the board once more after Apodaca capped a drive with a one-yard quarterback sneak before Halliday finished off his day with a 41-yard touchdown pass to Marks who made the catch around the 15-yard line before breaking one tackle and scampering into the end zone.
The Cougar defense dominated most of the day until the offense closed the day with a couple touchdown drives. Linebacker Justin Sagote led all players with eight tackles while Eric Oertel tallied six tackles and an interception. Darryl Monroe posted five tackles, two for loss but made his presence felt throughout the day with a couple big hits, both in the backfield and in coverage, highlighted by a crushing hit on wideout Robert Lewis that broke up a pass. Darryl Paulo, Lyman Faoliu, Xavier Cooper, Max Hersey and Austin Brown all recorded "sacks." The Cougars also received interceptions from defensive back Beau Glover and safety Mitch Peterson who made a diving catch off a deflected pass to come up with a turnover.
The Cougars continue spring drills Tuesday at 3 p.m. on Rodgers Field and in Martin Stadium.

Vivus (VVUS) is down 13% this afternoon after the company said it expects a European commission to recommend disapproval of its weight-loss drug Qsiva. The company said it may reapply if it's suspicions are confirmed: "VIVUS is committed to making this important medication available to obese patients in Europe."
Analysts noted that obesity isn't as big of a problem in Europe as it is in the U.S. That may have made the committee less willing to risk approving a drug with possible side effects than if obesity was as rampant as it is in the states.
"[W]e do not anticipate that Qsiva will be approved in the E.U. in the near term, and we continue to omit the E.U. market from our revenue projections," wrote Brean Murray Carret analyst Jonathan Aschoff.
Aschoff rates Vivus at Hold, in part because Qsiva will not as readily available as competitor Arena Pharmaceutical's (ARNA) Belviq because Qsiva is considered a DEA scheduled drug. Vivus could also be at a disadvantage against Orexigen's (OREX) Contrave, which is still making its way through the U.S. approval process. Both Belviq and Qsiva have been approved for sale in the U.S.
"Regarding U.S. market penetration, Belviq, and likely for Contrave as well if approved, will not be sold only via a restricted mail order pharmacies," Aschoff writes. "They will be more easily available in almost every neighborhood pharmacy and we expect sampling for both as well, by contrast to Qsymia."
Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analyst Steve Byrne, meanwhile, wrote that despite the EU setback Vivus is a Buy.
"Despite the EU disappointment, we believe VVUS shares are attractively valued. Qsymia became available this week and initial physician interest in the drug at The Obesity Society meeting has been strong. Kaiser Permanente's addition as the 3rd major distributor for Qsymia should help strengthen the launch and prospects for reimbursement. We view the primary value for Qsymia will come from US sales ($3bn by 2018E) as VVUS plans to partner the drug in ex-US markets. We also believe higher prevalence of obesity in regions including Latin America and Middle East lowers the impact of the EU contribution."

Really well located apartment, stunning views over the basicilca and the Christmas market on the square below. Beautiful. It's large and airy and set up for a large group. Basically furnished, but warm - I stayed in December. Ester and the Pals team were great from the initial contact, to meeting me, and then sorting out a problem with a tap during my stay. Wifi worked well, and I requested a hair dryer before I arrived. Great enjoyable stay, thank you.
The location of the apartment is perfect. It is in the city center and you can basicly walk from there to every sightseeing spot.
Since it is literally in front of the Basilika, you really here the bells ringing of the Basilika, which starts every morning at 6 am and it rings every hour...
So, having an alarm waking me up every morning at 6 am was the only disadvantage. Other than that, the apartment is huge and very central.
Great Place! Spatious and centric apartment. Very helpful staff. I was a bit concerned about the cathedral's bells and the wine bar some users talked about but I didn't get to notice the while asleep. It really wasn't that noisy at all. If I come back to Budapest (I'd love to) I'll come right back to this place again.
Everything was great. The location was perfect, the staff nice and helpful. The only negative thing I can think of is that if you have troble sleeping with some noise, the churchbells could be disturbing and also the bars on the streets. I didn't mind at all though so I will give this apartment 10/10 without a doubt.
Great stay and great apartment - very spacious with a magnificent view for the Cathedral (lying in bed you can admire the Cathedral facade:); nice, clean, well equipped! The sweet little balcony for two - perfect for a small brakefest or a coffe together:)
The only thing that bothered me a bit was a nois till late night from the wine bar downstairs - place for the locals - crowdy and noisy all week long till early morning.
Nice and uncomplicated host.
The apartment is very central and spacious.
Functional furniture.
We´ll come back ...
Just perfect. The location could not be better, the hosts were very helpfull. The apartment was clean and comfortable.
It made our stay in Budapest unforgettable and we will be back.
Superb location, really spacious place. You don't need to walk far, enjoying the nightlife and climbing to the apartment, classic.
Incredible view.

Chicago Bulls:Dealing with adversity
The Chicago Bulls were dealt a major blow Saturday with the loss of Derrick Rose to a season ending knee injury. With 1:10 left in the fourth quarter all of the oxygen was sucked out of The United Center when he went tumbling to the ground grimacing in pain. The reigning MVP has meant so much to the revitalization of the Chicago Bulls to championship contenders after almost a decade of mediocrity of a once proud franchise.
Life is funny sometimes one minute you are up and in an instant you can be dealt a terrible blow. The Bulls are owners of the NBA's top record as well as the league's most suffocating defense led by one of the league's top coaches in Tom Thibodeau. What inspired me to write this article is how everyone jumped off Chicago's bandwagon in an instant. The same people who were praising this team were giving them a death sentence in an instant. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't stay loyal when the chips are down. Loyalty has always been something that I take very seriously and to see so many people lose their support to the Bulls is troubling to me. Like I mentioned before they love you when you are on top forget about you on the way down. Adversity shows it's ugly head once again and as usual the weak minded run for the hills.
A few things people are forgetting here is the Bulls are used to playing without Derrick Rose this year boasting an 18-9 without him, 7 wins coming against playoff teams including Miami, Celtics twice, New York, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Orlando. They have one of the league's best frontcourts having the combination of block scoring in Boozer and energetic defensive minded players in Noah,Asic, and Gibson. Tom Thibodeau is the NBA's most prepared coach being known as one of the top defensive coaches to come down the pike in a long time and a basketball savant. Defensively, they lead the league in defense letting up only 88.2 points per game which says a lot of the culture Thibodeau has created for the Bulls.
I can mention statistics all I want, but this is a question of people stepping up. The Bulls have all the tools to make it to the NBA finals. They have no time to feel sorry for themselves as they are professionals and this is what they do for a living. Isn't the NBA the land of opportunity for average players to step up and become heroes while stepping up when needed? Yes without Rose this lets a lot of air out of their championship balloon, but doesn't automatically eliminate them from contention. When you have a basketball culture where all players and staff are on the same page you always have a chance to win. This should be a teaching point to all teams as building a basketball culture is more important than having talent. Building a culture is something that needs to be instilled before anything else in your program. Establishing boundaries on and off the court and having every one of your players buy into this is your foundation. With their record without Rose this shows that everyone understands their roles and step up to make up for the missing points and presence that he has.
Without Rose the Bulls are the only team in the playoffs without a clear cut number one scoring option. They remind me of another team that didn't have a true go to guy. The 2003-2004 NBA Champion Detroit Pistons had the same make up of this Bulls team. They had a group that didn't posses great scoring or that one stud offensively. They featured a group that played as a unit, totally smothered teams on the defensive end allowing only 84.3 points per game. Their roster reminds me a lot of this Bulls team as they play together and share the basketball. Like Thibodeau, Larry Brown had his team believing in defense and establishing their roles and held them accountable. There was no star on that team either, just 15 players that played as a unit and checked their egos at the door.
There is too much quitting that is in our culture these days. Young people think that their only option is to quit when adversity hits. Learning how to deal with it is a major teaching point to life's lessons. Not everything is going to be easy and given to them and life gets hard at times. In basketball or any sport you can't train a team to lean on one player to the point where if you take them out of the lineup that the team sinks. A coach needs to empower the team to know that they are capable of doing big things when given an opportunity to do so. Establishing roles is the key to building a great team and keeping everyone inside of those roles can be the hardest thing for a coach. We will learn a lot about the heart of the Bulls in the coming weeks. As the basketball world sells all of it's stock in the Bulls it will be interesting to see how they respond to this challenge.
If this year has taught us anything it taught us that players, when given the opportunity to shine they rise to the occasion. Last year it was JJ Barea shocking the basketball world taking over games being one of the smallest players in the NBA. This year Jeremy Lin took the basketball world by storm by starting the year being a bench player to carrying an NBA franchise on his back. Barea and Lin didn't listen to the people who doubted their ability. Last year the Dallas Mavericks had limited supporters who thought they had a chance at getting out of the second round never mind being an NBA champion. You can't measure a team's heart and unity by looking at statistics alone. When there is a culture installed and everyone from top to bottom buys into it any goal can be attained. There is nothing stopping CJ Watson to step up as a hero or John Lucas to be that firecracker the Bulls need to be successful.
Adversity shows us a lot about character. For the Chicago Bulls it will show us how they step up when their leader is lost. I have a feeling that for those who sold their stock in them when they were down will be wishing that hadn't.

Steel production in China is bouncing back, so is the demand for iron ore.
Rio Tinto (RIO) can deliver iron ore earlier than the market (or Credit Suisse) had expected. Analyst James Gurry and team just came back from a trip to Rio's Australian Pilbara iron ore site and reports:
Coinciding with our trip to the Pilbara mine, Rio Tinto commenced the step change in shipments to 290Mtp. It is now guiding to ramp up quicker than we (or the market) had expected with a shipment rate of 270Mtpa by November 2013 and 290mt by May 2014. However Rio even seems to be moving ahead of this official ramp-up target with the company disclosing that it shipped 22.8Mt in August, even though the new Cape Lambert Port was only used for the last few days of the month. Therefore, without weather or other unplanned disruptions, it appears that Rio can easily operate well in excess of 270Mtpa and much closer to its near-term goal of 290Mtpa. We have already seen Rio ship 15Mtpa above its previous 237Mtpa name-plate capacity. With the port now fully operational, rail is the key bottleneck holding Rio back from being fully operational at 290Mtpa. The rail upgrade is scheduled to complete around Q2 2014, but we think Rio is likely to achieve this target ahead of time.
Credit Suisse raises Rio Tinto's 2014-2015 earnings by 5-6%, but leaves the target price unchanged.
Everyone is trying to get onto the China-industrial-recovery boat.
Wall Street Journal reported this week China may allow Vale SA (VALE)'s mega cargo ships to enter its ports. Vale built those ships to reduce the higher long-distance shipping cost from Latin America. BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto ship from Australia.

Emelec keeper concedes 93rd-min. winner from 75 yards
We're skipping back to last Sunday here, with LDU Quito beating reigning champions Emelec 2-1 in the Ecuadorian top flight to shore up third place in the table.
However, it could have been a different story for Emelec as they were within seconds of clinching themselves a well-deserved point when the game ticked over into the 93rd minute with the scores level at 1-1.
Sadly, it was at this point that their goalkeeper, Esteban Dreer, came moseying up from his area to launch a late free kick deep into...

Flood waters from North Dakota's Souris River are pouring over the levees protecting Minot, North Dakota today, and flood heights are expected to rise to the highest levels in recorded history tonight. The Lake Darling flood control reservoir located about 15 miles upstream from Minot is full to overflowing, and record releases of water are occurring to prevent the lake's dam from over-topping. By this weekend, the Army Corps of Engineers will open the dam's flood gates to a maximum flow rate of 20,000 cubic feet per second, which is roughly double the flow rate that the levees in Minot can handle. Water began flowing over the levees yesterday, forcing the mandatory evacuation of 12,000 residents. By Sunday, water levels on the Souris River are expected to peak at four feet above the previous all-time flood height, set in 1881. Torrential rainfall in Canada on Sunday and Monday, combined with very heavy rainfall and snow melt over North Dakota over the past month, are responsible for the record flood. The Souris River Basin near the Rafferty Dam in Saskatchewan received four to seven inches of rain Sunday into Monday. Flood heights along the Souris River near the Canadian border upstream from Minot are already two feet above the previous all-time highest mark, and that pulse of water is now arriving in Minot. The unprecedented flood is expected to keep much of Minot underwater for at least two weeks. Fortunately, no new heavy rains are expected over the next five days, though up to 1/2" of rain could fall over portions of the Souris River watershed.
Figure 1. Still frame from a Youtube video of the Souris River in Minot, North Dakota flowing over the levees in that town. The video was shot on Wednesday June 22, 2011, from a North Dakota National Guard helicopter.
Figure 2. Observed (blue line) and forecast (green line) stage of the Souris River in Minot, North Dakota. The river is currently at its 3rd highest level on record, and is expected to rise above the record flood stage of 1558' tonight. The record was set back in 1881. Image credit: NOAA AHPS.
Record rains in China kill 175, do $5 billion in damage
Torrential rains triggered severe flooding in eastern China this week, with the death toll for June floods now standing at 175, with 86 people missing. Ironically, the same region experienced severe drought at the beginning of June. The estimated $5 billion in damage from the floods would make 2011 the third most expensive year for floods in China in the past decade. This year is the second consecutive year floods have caused exceptional damage in China. Last year, Western China saw summer precipitation more than 200% above average, and torrential monsoon rains triggered catastrophic landslides that killed 2137 people and did $759 million in damage. Monsoon floods in China killed an additional 1911 people, affected 134 million, and did $18 billion in damage in 2010, according to the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). This was the 2nd most expensive flooding disaster in Chinese history, behind the $30 billion price tag of the 1998 floods that killed 3656 people. China had floods in 1915, 1931, and 1959 that killed 3 million, 3.7 million, and 2 million people, respectively, but no damage estimates are available for these floods. During the period 2000 - 2009, China averaged $3.7 billion in damage and 674 deaths per year due to floods and landslides, according to the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters. This does not include the toll from typhoons. Speaking of typhoons, Tropical Storm Meari, currently located a few hundred miles east of the Philippines' Luzon Island, is expected to track north-northwestwards towards China today and Friday. By Saturday, Meari is expected to be a Category 1 typhoon, and will spread heavy rains over eastern China, worsening the flooding situation there--though the heaviest rains will likely remain offshore.
Figure 3. Rainfall amounts in excess of 18 inches (450 mm) fell in Eastern China southeast of Shanghai in a 1-week period, June 13 -19, 2011. A China Daily report from June 18 described the rains in parts of Zhejiang Province as unprecedented. High waters broke 100-meter (300-foot) holes in levees, inundating nearby villages. Some homes were buried in 3 meters (10 feet) of water. This image is based on data from the Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis produced at Goddard Space Flight Center, which estimates rainfall by combining measurements from many satellites and calibrating them using rainfall measurements from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite.

The Atlantic is quiet
The Atlantic is quiet, but several models, including the NOGAPS and GFS, are predicting that a tropical disturbance capable of becoming a tropical depression could form in the southern Gulf of Mexico in the Bay of Campeche Tuesday or Wednesday. There will be a strong ridge of high pressure over the Gulf next week, which would tend to keep any storm that might form far to the south, with impacts limited to Mexico and perhaps South Texas.

The founding of the Nantes Museum of Fine Arts
The Museum of Fine Arts in Nantes was founded, together with fourteen other major museums in the French provinces, by the consular decree of 1 September 1814 (or 14 Fructidor, Year IX of France's Revolutionary calendar). The "Chaptal Decree" – named after the famous chemist Jean-Antoine Chaptal, minister for the interior from 1800–04 – offered the new museums "treasures captured from the enemies of the Republic": mainly post-Revolution confiscations effected in France, but also works seized elsewhere in Europe by the Republican and, later, Napoleonic armies. In concrete terms this meant that between 1804–09 Nantes received 43 paintings formerly in storage at the Central Museum, now the Musée du Louvre. However, it was the purchase of the Cacault Collection by the City of Nantes in 1810 that gave the collection real substance and scope.
It was not until 1830 that the collection was first presented to the public on the upper floor of the fabric market in Rue du Calvaire. It quickly became clear that the space was both unsuitable and too small, and in 1891 the municipality decided to provide the works with a home of their own – a true "Palais des Beaux-Arts". A competition was launched for the designing of a "museum of painting and sculpture"
Designing a museum
The winner of the competition, Nantes-born architect Clément-Marie Josso, based his plan on the newly constructed museums in Lille and Amiens. The core of the structure was the "patio" a central courtyard covered by a skylight. Two floors of galleries and exhibition rooms surrounded the patio, which was reached via a vaulted lobby boasting a monumental double staircase. The building highlighted the majesty of the collection, with lighting coming from broad windows on the ground floor and through the skylight upstairs. The latter took its inspiration from the Grande Galerie in the Louvre, and was made possible by a modern system of metal framing.
Resolutely worthy of a "palace of the arts", the grandiose, ostentatious exterior reflected the triumphant eclecticism of the Universal Exposition of 1900, the year the museum opened. The recesses between the twin Ionic columns housed allegories of the arts, with Architecture in pride of place above the entrance.
The City of Nantes is currently implementing an ambitious extension of the museum. For more information, go to the
Museum Project
The Chapelle de l'Oratoire
Situated on Place de l'Oratoire, between the museum and the Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul, the Chapelle de l'Oratoire is now an integral part of the museum. The Oratorian Fathers came to Nantes in 1617 and took over the running of the Collège Saint-Clément in 1625. A handsome example of Counter-Reformation architecture, the college chapel was begun outside the college precinct in 1651 and consecrated in 1665. The project was overseen by Jacques Malherbe and, after his death, by Gilles Corbineau, who was to become the City's official architect. The steps were added in 1765, after the creation of the Promenade des Cours by Jean-Baptiste Ceineray. With the Revolution the chapel was stripped of its religious status and used for various purposes, and from 1856 until 1899 was the home of the Nantes Archaeological and Historical Society. It then served, at different moments, as a concert hall and a courthouse, until it was completely restored in 1988 and entrusted to the museum. It is now used for talks and exhibitions.

Tornado/Severe Weather
Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm Watch
A tornado or severe thunderstorm "watch" means that severe weather is possible, but not imminent. Proceed with normal activity, but continue to monitor weather-related reports. Listen to the local radio stations (WKMS, WRKY) and for the Murray State University warning sirens to sound.
Tornado Warning
A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has been sighted in the area. Murray State University's outdoor warning sirens will be sounded. If a warning (wavering tone) is issued, proceed as follows:
- Notify all building occupants.
- Seek shelter in a designated safe haven immediately. Basements and small interior hallways or rooms of lower floors with no glass provide the best shelter.
- Do not remain in a vehicle. Seek shelter in a sturdy building. In cases where no obvious shelter is available, a ditch or ravine will provide some protection.
- After danger has passed, (solid tone indicates "all clear"), immediately report all
injuries to MSU Police at 911 or 2222. Be prepared to give the following information:
- Type of emergency
- Location of injured
- Condition of the injured
- Any dangerous conditions
- Leave a damaged building immediately and do not attempt to return unless given permission by the building emergency coordinator or MSU Police personnel. Report to the designated meeting area and account for all occupants.
- Do no attempt to turn utilities or equipment on or off. Call Facilities Management at 4291 (after hours 3805).
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
If a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect, be prepared to move to a designated safe haven in the event that the "watch" is upgraded to a "warning". If a warning is issued, proceed as follows:
- Building name
- Building location
- Type of emergency
- Condition of the injured
- Any dangerous conditions

In the aftermath of the Great War, communities across Australia built war memorials to perpetuate the memory of those who served their country and who lie buried in foreign soil or beneath the seas. Their memory must not be diminished by the passage of time.
There are more than 3,000 war memorials in our State, and the NSW Government and the RSL (NSW Branch) are committed to documenting each of these memorials with care and respect.
This worthwhile task can only be accomplished using the combined resources of local councils, RSL sub-branches and our schools. No memorial is too small or insignificant to be counted because each records a priceless sacrifice.
What better way for our school children to learn a love of their country than to visit their local memorials, photograph them and record the names of those who fought and died.
This information will then be loaded onto the Internet so that people across the nation can view these memorials, look up the names of their forebears and reflect on the heavy price paid in the cause of freedom.
Now that all the original ANZACs have passed on, it is up to us to keep the flame of remembrance alight. The Register of War Memorials in NSW is an important initiative that deserves the support of every community, school, RSL sub-branch and local council.
Lest we forget.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an unusual cancer of the blood. It affects B cells, a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte).
Leukemic reticuloendotheliosis; HCL; Leukemia - hairy cell
HCL is caused by the abnormal growth of B cells. The cells look "hairy" under the microscope because they have fine projections coming from their surface.
HCL usually leads to low numbers of normal blood cells.
The cause of this disease is unknown. It affects men more often than women. The average age of diagnosis is 55.
During a physical exam, the doctor may be able to feel a
Blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy can detect hairy cells. Flow cytometry is needed to make the diagnosis. Sometimes, a test called tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is done.
Treatment may not be needed for the early stages of this disease. Some patients may need an occasional blood transfusion.
If treatment is needed because of very low blood counts, a variety of chemotherapy drugs can be used. Drugs that may be used include cladribine, pentostatin, and rituximab.
In most cases, chemotherapy can relieve the symptoms for many years. (When the signs and symptoms go away, you are said to be in remission.) Interferon can relieve symptoms but is unlikely to lead to remission.
Removing the spleen may improve blood counts, but is unlikely to cure the disease. Antibiotics can be used to treat infections. People with low blood counts will receive growth factors and, possibly, transfusions.
Newer chemotherapy treatments have greatly improved the survival of patients with hairy cell leukemia. Most patients with hairy cell leukemia can expect to live 10 years or longer after diagnosis.
The low blood counts caused by hairy cell leukemia can lead to infections, fatigue, and excessive bleeding.
Call your health care provider if you have significant bleeding. Also call if you have signs of infection, such as a persistent
There is no known way to prevent this disease.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Test Your ISP
Yesterday, the FCC held a second hearing in its investigation of Comcast's use of forged RST packets to interfere with BitTorrent and other P2P applications. Free Press has a page linking to written testimony, statements, and audio and video recordings from the Stanford hearing.
Yesterday's announcement of a détente between Comcast and BitTorrent was great news. Unfortunately, the general problem of ISPs doing strange things to Internet traffic without telling their customers is likely to continue in the future. EFF and many other organizations are working on software to test ISPs for unusual (mis)behavior. In this detailed post, we have a round-up of the tools that are out there right now, and others that are in development...
The Backstory
When you sign up for an Internet connection, you expect it to actually be an Internet connection. You expect that you can run whatever applications and protocols you choose over the link, or indeed that you can write your own software and run that.
Last month, shortly before the FCC held its first hearing in an investigation of Comcast's interference with BitTorrent and other P2P protocols, we noticed that Comcast was no longer injecting forged TCP RST packets in the simple tests we had been running on its cable network. Those tests had been showing interference through January 2008. Some sources with access to larger datasets informed us that the cable ISP was nonetheless still using RST packets against some BitTorrent sessions, just not the simple uses of BT and Gnutella that we had been testing. The status quo: Comcast is still interfering with P2P, but they are being more subtle about it.
In response to the FCC's inquiry into Comcast's interference with BitTorrent traffic, EFF filed comments yesterday urging the FCC to make it clear that ISPs must, at a minimum, adequately disclose their "network management" practices before they can hide behind the excuse of "reasonable network management."
Time Warner Cable has confirmed that it will be rolling out metered pricing for Internet access in Beaumont, TX. Although the exact terms have apparently not been set, packages would reportedly offer between 5 gigabytes and 40 gigabytes a month, with the top plan costing roughly the same as the company's current highest-speed service (~$50-60/month).

The GSK China Scandal has everything – sex, money, medicines and an elaborate investigation in what is said to be a country with the world's most stringent laws
What started early in February this year, as a seemingly small scale price check by the Chinese regulator into the functioning of the drug makers operating in the country, soon turned into a grand scandal, with skeletons tumbling out of GlaxoSmithKline's closet one after the other. As the world held its breath tracking the development of this scandal all through last month, the magnitude of the revelations, albeit shocking in nature, did not bring GSK's oriental dreams crashing down entirely.
Early in February this year, the Chinese regulatory authorities started probing the pricing practices followed by the drug makers operating in the country. Alongside, an email by an anonymous whistleblower revealed that sales executives working with the British drug maker in China were involved in bribing Chinese doctors with extravagant gifts in return for prescribing GlaxoSmithKline drugs to their patients. The company immediately launched an internal inquiry into the allegations made by the whistleblower and soon announced in a statement that post 'through investigations' it found 'no cases of bribery in the company's China operations.'
So much so, that the company said in their statement, "GSK wants to reiterate to its patients, staff and partners in China that these allegations are false."
However, all was not well at GSK's China office, as revealed by a raid into the company's office by the Changsha police in China. It was then rumored that the company is being investigated for 'economic crimes'. The rumors turned into reality, as less than a week after the raids, the Ministry of Public Security in China made its first detailed public disclosure of allegations against senior executives of GlaxoSmithKline who had been placed under criminal investigation for suspected bribery and tax violations. The police had then said that they found evidence that GSK falsified invoices used by travel agencies to bribe government officials, medical associations, hospitals and doctors in China.
Read: Anti-corruption rules in China
The company continuously maintained that they were not aware of any details of the investigations. "The company is unclear about the precise nature or purpose of the investigation. There is nothing further to add to that," Mr Simon Steel, a GSK spokesperson told the media in London on July 5.

Attack of Sqlite
Recently it became fashionable to link Sqlite everywhere (for example, yum uses it). The awsum workout that Firefox gives to your kjournald is also Sqlite. But now I see a little problem. What if anything happens to the database?
XML was bad enough, but it is repairable, if with a bigger difficulty than plain text. When GNOME eliminated battstat-applet, and started to throw an funny dialog, I was able to fix it by removing a few files and directories in my ~/.gconf (Thank you, Federico).
Now my Liferea develped a problem. One of the feeds has a phantom item in it: it shows one unread even if there aren't any unread items. If I click "Mark All Read", Liferea crashes. How am I supposed to repair this? I suppose there may be some command line tools coming with Sqlite which allow to issue SQL statements, but without knowing how the database is laid out, I cannot formulate such statements.
I expect this kind of thing to become more common as more people jump on the bandwagon.

OXFORD, Miss. – Arkansas used a run and pulled away late in the second half as the Ole Miss women's basketball team fell to the Razorbacks, 77-66, Thursday night.
With the loss Ole Miss fell to 8-13 (1-7 SEC) while Arkansas improved to 15-6 (3-5 SEC).
Diara Moore scored in double figures for the team-leading 15th time this year with 14 points while Tia Faleru also added 14 points. Valencia McFarland added 11 points and added a team-high eight rebounds.
The Razorbacks went on a 20-3 run capped at the 3:36 mark to pull away from the Rebels.
Ole Miss used three early three pointers, two from Moore and one from Faleru, to build a 15-7 lead with 13:12 remaining in the first half.
Arkansas tied the game at 25-25 with 6:45 left in the half. The Razorbacks took their first lead of the game since the team led, 3-0, with 3:39 remaining in the half as Arkansas went up 34-33 lead.
At the half, Arkansas led, 38-35. Moore led the Rebels with 12 points while Faleru added seven. As a team, Ole Miss shot 28.1 percent (9-32) from the floor while Arkansas shot 44.1 percent (15-34). The Rebels were 13-14 from the free throw line in the first half.
In the second half, the Razorbacks led by six, 44-38, with 16:34 left in the half before Ole Miss went up one, 45-44, on a three from Faleru.
Ole Miss will play at Vanderbilt Sunday at 2 p.m.

I just got an email from a club member that described a bad problem about health certificates being required at a Rhode Island Cat Show last week. Inspectors and officers showed up at the show and started to ask a lot of questions of the exhibitors and demanded personal information about exhibitors. Several left the show. The email also included a state by state list of health documents required for dogs that are traveling to other states.
I almost never travel with those documents. Also, these requirements seem to me to be a bit much for us dog people. I go to New Hampshire, travel through Connecticut, Massachusetts, and sometimes Rhode Island. Now it looks like I should be carrying documents that are required by each state and I might add not all states have the same requirements.
I never even thought about this.
What is your experience with this regarding Hunt Tests, Field Trials, and out of state training sessions? I feel overwhelmed and harassed.
