Stocks on the Move: Adobe, Carnival, Citi, Intel
Shares of the following companies are having unusual moves in U.S. trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses, and prices are as of 10:50 a.m. in New York.
Japanese lenders rallied after government officials said banks will be given a grace period to adjust to stricter capital rules under consideration by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (MFG) jumped 16 percent to $4.07. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. (SMFJY) surged 15 percent to $3.33. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (MTU) added 6.2 percent to $5.32.

From Oprah Magaizine:
Oprah: What brought you to that point? I know 9/11 was traumatic for you.
Mary: Yes. And Aaliyah had just died. [Recording artist Aaliyah's plane crashed on August 25, 2001.] My life was her life. She was surrounded by people who weren't telling her the real deal. We weren't close friends, but I'd talked with her a couple of times. I very well could've been the woman on that plane.
Oprah: It was your wake-up call.
Mary: Yes. I was doing a show at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Kendu and I weren't married yet, and I overheard him say, "If Mary comes in this house drunk tonight, I'm gonna leave her." So during the performance, "I kept thinking, I'm going to go home sober and tell him I'm not gonna drink anymore." After the show, I received a call from the girl who always got the drinks and drugs. When I went to her house, she had the biggest bottle of wine she could find on the table. I took off all my makeup and just sat there. "You want a glass of wine?" she asked. I said no. I got up and left for home at 10 o'clock that night. Normally, I'd be stepping in the house at 4 in the morning. When I came in without alcohol on my breath, Kendu said, "I'm so proud of you." That same night, we got the call: Aaliyah was dead.
Oprah: Has your transformation compelled you toward a greater responsibility in your artistry and lyrics?
Mary: Absolutely. One reason I turned my life around is that I realized millions of fans were following my example. I don't want to be responsible for killing us. I want to be responsible for uplifting us. In the song "Family Affair," I sing about getting drunk....
From a different interview:
"MARY J BLIGE gave up her drink and drug-fueled lifestyle after experiencing the shock of fellow R+B star AALIYAH's untimely death.
The 34-year-old singer became paranoid about her own demise after hearing the ROMEO MUST DIE beauty had been killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas in 2001.
Blige explains, "She (Aaliyah) wasn't a close friend. It was just that when I saw her die, that's when I discovered the fact that I'm next. I don't know how or when, but I'm next.
"I don't know what kind of freak accident they're going to put me in, or what kind of overdose of heroin they're going to sort out, but at the end of the day, I knew I was next.
"I just thought, I'm scared."

a question about [[ ]]
here is what I am trying to do:
g is a function that invokes f.
f[x] is undefined,
while f[{x,y}] returns a list, say {f[x],f[y]} (or any other list).
f[{x_, y_}] := { f[x], f[y] }
g[x_] := {f[x][[1]], f[x][[2]]}
I would like to have
In := g[a]
Out:= {f[a][[1]], f[a][[2]]}
In := g[{b,c}]
Out:= {f[b], f[c]}
Rationale: function g has the knowledge that f iv evaluated return a list.
If f is not evaluated I want the symbolic expression to be returned.
The problem is the first case: g[a].
I cannot prevent Mathematica from evaluating f[a][[1]]
returning the unwanted a.
For f[a][[2]] the situation is slightly better because after the mesg
Part::"partw": "Part \!\(2\) of \!\(f[a]\) does not exist."
Mathematica return the unevaluated expression f[a][[2]].
Basically I would like Mathematica to evaluate (Something)[[ ]]
only is Something is a list and leave everything symbolic otherwise.
Thanks for any suggestion.

I was not late, I has given a week head start to all -)
I'm in! Let's start with my last look about a month ago. Nearly no hair on my head, but some in my face.
Next picture: grown hair on my head but freshly shaved face…
P.S.: the nosering comes from a children's magazine
DVLPmedia saidFor me you're already now a good bet for the competition top3
CLEAN SHAVEN AND EVERYTHING! I don't know how long I can last with a mustache though. I am going to look like Sadam.
Clean shaven. I can really grow this thing. Let's do this!
Damn it, I shaved today and just now stumbled upon this thread. Can I join now?
10 days done O.O people starts 2 notice
Feel free to get involved Colorbyt, but you might have to use some magical hair growth tonic! The others already have 11 days on you. Good luck!
Also, there have been a few questions about chest hair counting towards movember, I'm willing to make an exception if your chest hair is so long that reaches your top lip! Otherwise, regular ol' chest hair wont make the cut. I apologise for those with naturally hairy winter coats!
This time of year is always a painful reminder of my inability to grow facial hair… 32 years old, what a loser
Count me in!
Although growing my own Mo this month, it just felt right sharing this instead. After 'patiently' explaining to my old man what Movember was all about, and what it ultimately stands for, he was kind enough to genuinely embrace the cause and pose for a casual photo.
He's 72 years old by the way.

No. 1 USC Heads To Harvard For 2013 NCAA Tournament
Top-seeded Women of Troy take aim at a fourth national championship this week in Boston.
Former USC All-American Marko Pintaric is in his 16th season on the USC staff. Pintaric currently serves as the USC men's associate head coach and as scouting director for the USC women. A member of USC's 1998 national championship team as a player, he has been on the USC coaching staff for eight USC men's title runs and four women's NCAA crowns.
Pintaric was a two-year starter for the Trojans in 1997 and 1998. He recorded 44 goals during the Trojans' 1998 national championship season and earned National Player of the Year and first team All-America honors. He also earned second team All-America honors in 1997. Pintaric was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team both years. He transferred to USC from the University of Zagreb in Croatia, where he was a member of the Croatian Junior National Team (1989-94). Along with his current coaching experience, Pintaric served as the varsity coach at Loyola High in Los Angeles during the 1999-2000 school year. He has played club for Shores and Los Angeles Water Polo, and currently plays for the New York Athletic Club, where he also was a member of the 2001 summer national championship team and four consecutive winter national championship teams (1999-2002).
In November 2012, Pintaric joined interim head coach Jovan Vavic on the coaching staff for the U.S. Men's National Team, helping lead Team USA to World Championship qualification with success at the 2013 UANA World Aquatic Championship Qualification Tournament in Canada. Pintaric graduated from USC in 2000 with a degree in communications and earned his master's in 2003 in communications management. He and his wife, Beatrice, have two sons, Francesco and Filip.

confused on cam choice
let me start with my set up its a chevy 307 holley 600 carb,holley dominator dual plane intake,every thing else stock.it has 411 gears out back 350 th tranny.im looking for a cam that wont kill my torque.i dont no jack about cams :confused: thanks very much
in all honesty, don't change it. You have heads that won't allow your engine to rev past about 4000, and a relatively small bore that limits breathing. The intake and carb weren't what was holding you back. The new parts might have given you 15 hp, but you have to change those heads.
Engine power is based on a matching of all parameters: carb tuning, intake flow, head flow, compression, cam events, and exhaust. Simply changing to a performance cam, carb, and intake will mean you have a carb, intake, and cam tuned for higher performance, but heads, compression, and exhaust tuned for stock perfrormance. The net result will be a mismatch. Not only will you not gain any performance in the higher RPM range, you'll lose performance in the low-rpm range. Your performance will suffer big time.
I won't get into the finer points here, but all performance parts need to be matched together. You're starting with a small-bore engine, so you have to be extra careful with your choices.

Is there any way of playing trailers when using the MediaView or MediaView2 displays without having to go into the movie info? I'd like to be able to know if a trailer exists and press a button to automatically play the trailer. The same like the Showcase view has the down button. Could you perhaps guide me to the right xml file to edit?
--- Just wondering if anyone can help on the above mentioned. I really would like to map one key to play available trailers in different views. The Showcase view has this option, but some other views don't. Any help is appreciated.

Would you be Annoyed if...
Condit beats GSP and everyone blames it on GSP coming back off an injury so we get another rematch?
If that happened, hopefully GSP would just go up to MW and let Rory try to take over.
13 Attachment(s)
It depends on how the fight goes, if GSP just looks flat and not what he was then it would be the lay off and injury.
In the infinitely remote case on which Condit beats GSP just give GSP a instant rematch. A no ring rust GSP vs Condit doesn't even make up for a debate, people are just giving Condit a chance in this one because GSP comes from a long layoff and a very serious injury.
1 Attachment(s)
Yes it would annoy me. If GSP decides to step into the ring he believes he's ready and there shouldn't be any excuses for his loss and Condit would deserves the belt. If anybody blames the injury for his loss, they're idiots, imo.
It depends on how the supposed loss would happen. If Condit lands a killer leg kick to injured area and GSP is hobbled for the rest of the fight, then yeah it would be safe to say it was due to the injury. If he just straight up beats GSP (not gonna happen), I won't blame ring rust. I don't believe in ring rust.
When Anderson was fighting Mach Sakurai he didn't look like a guy that could dominate at 205.
2 Attachment(s)
I would be annoyed by an instant rematch because WW is pretty is pretty stacked, and there's no reason to create the same logjam as there is at 155. Even if do end up thinking it was due to ring-rust.
That said, from the wording of the poll it's clear that Harness is trying to troll.
Not counting the rematches there's a whole new lot of top contenders knocking at the door for a title shot (Maia, Kampman, Hendricks, Rory, Nick, Erick, Marquart, Ellenberger, Santiago, just to name a few).
Besides, there's the challenge of beating Anderson Silva winning streak and that sir, would be a huge feat in itself.
I'm totally against GSP moving up or down, he's perfect for WW. I would however embrace a super fight versus Anderson for the WW title if Andy could make 170.

One of the more obvious trends of 2008 has been the move towards 16:9 aspect ratio screens on notebooks. Though this has been sold as a "feature", providing a more film friendly aspect for watching DVDs and Blu-ray discs, it's just as much a cost cutting exercise, since it allows LCD manufacturers get more screens from a single panel of glass. Cynicism aside, however, it's a trend we heartily approve of since there wasn't a great deal of logic in having 16:10 screens anyway and a 16:9 display is intrinsically better suited to multimedia viewing - it's not just marketing guff.
All this said we've yet to come across a 16:9 effort that quite delivered on all fronts. Acer has probably come closest, with the Aspire 6935G offering a particularly good value option, but it's sometimes hard to escape the feeling that Acer has thrown in all the features it could think of without as much thought as to how they fitted together. HP has done things differently, with the HDX Premium Series that, like Acer's Aspire Blue range, consists of 16in and 18.4in models called the HDX 16 and HDX 18 respectively. As has been the case with HP in recent years, they deliver a pleasingly cohesive design and plenty of quality features. Indeed, the HDX 16 we're looking at today is the best example of a 16:9 "multimedia" notebook we've yet seen.
Starting with its appearance, HP's love for artistic "imprint" designs makes a welcome return. Finished in a subtle midnight blue, the lid is adorned with a cacophony of vary-coloured swirls that, combined with HP's smart backlit logo, immediately lend the HDX 16 the premium look and feel that's intended. This is continued on the inside, too; the swirls sweeping around and across the smooth faux-chrome (or "liquid metal" as HP likes to call it) touchpad.
This contrasts nicely with the silver accenting and keyboard, while the edge-to-edge screen cover that we first saw on the Pavilion dv5-1011ea makes a welcome return. This helps create a seamless glossy black bezel, a feature also seen on the new Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro and an effect that's every bit as attractive as when we first saw it.
Within this bezel, of course, sits the 16in screen and this has two important features. First, it has a Full HD, 1,920 x 1,080 resolution; secondly, it has a dual-lamp backlight. The former is obviously a massive attraction, since it's the perfect resolution for watching high definition material and there's a Blu-ray drive on hand to take advantage of this. On the latter, the dual-lamp backlight helps boost brightness and, more importantly, colour production - making colours richer and more vibrant.
Suffice to say the finished product is very impressive. Given the high pixel per inch count the screen is incredibly sharp, producing detailed video, photos and easily read text. Colour production is also very good; colours are vibrant without being overblown and gradations smooth and free of obvious banding. Viewing angles are pretty good, though in brighter light the glossy screen does hamper things somewhat. All told, though, video and other media is well handled and the high resolution screen is ideal for more boring productivity tasks, too.
I don't quite see how you can give this HP a 10 for value. You reviewed it at 𨀝.99 but the latest price is 𨂇? Also the Sony FW21M which is also available for under 𨀼 (also at John Lewis for 𨂇) also has a Blu-Ray writer, a faster processor and a larger hard drive.
I am in love with this notebook.
𨀝.99 is the price as reviewed, it's just not in our shopping database. Check out Laskys and you'll see it.
Comet are selling this laptop online for 𧿗. If you buy it via the Top Cashback website you can save a further 4%, taking the price down to 𧾷.04.
Acer 6935G, for 𧴜+ more you can get a 2.53Ghz 6mb Cache C2D and a 7200 rpm HDD. Worth it?
This really seems the best of the bunch and after weeks of research it's time to commit. But hang on ... HP's website offers a newer version: HP HDX X16-1101EA Premium Notebook PC (FV720EA) and apparently no one is selling this yet. Worth waiting for?
i have seen your model, still does not compare price/performance or featurewise against the acer 6935g LX.ATQ0X.038 which is the BESt 16" laptop available right now!
You're just talking stats. There's so much more to what makes a good laptop than just how big the hard drive is or how fast the processor is.
Completely agree, however you cant really compare laptops on style/screen size or multimedia controls (etc...) as they are subjective, so comparing "stats" is the only Sure way of comparison (as the Acer 6935g is also 16" and shares many of the same features as the HP-HDX).
With all due respect, I refuse to rely purely on reviews and IF the Acer 6935G reviewed was the LX.ATQ0X.038 model, this HP-HDX review would probably be much different.
Obelisk, I have been searching for a laptop too so I am only trying to help. What are your thoughts on the LX.ATQ0X.038?
practicalites such as the key pad are a swing decision maker, but I'm afraid the Acer's 'Cine Dash' is an eyesore too far.
Having checked it appears the HDX 16-1101EA version has a Blu ray writer.
@ obelisk
i would have also much prefered a numeric keypad over cinedash, but the sheer performance of the acer won me over.
i can see why a blu ray writer may be good for copying large files and playing things though blu ray player, but if you had the option, would you want that?
also the Acer only has HD ready resolution - the full HD spec on this model looks really appealing
i can't seem to find a reasonably priced small laptop anywhere with vertical resolution greater than 800 pixels - which is rubbish!
sorry - my mistake. the configuration LX.ATQ0X.038 is full HD
i stand by my comments about vertical resolution though!
It sure look and sound like a real gem. I have been using Vaios, Dell and Acer laptops in the past and recently bought myself the HP Pavilion DV2899ae. From my six months experience on HP laptop so far, I can tell you that I would never go back to any of the three aforementioned brands, the specs and usability has converted me to an HP fan. The HDX series sure looks good and I would recommend HP to anyone looking for a decent spec, affordable, solid laptop.
Looks great MiniHTPC but i will not consider blue-ray burner cause the price of the blankmedia...i relay in HP products outstanding quality and realibility...
@ Andy/Ed
I see Comet have this laptop for 𧿗.99 exclusive web offer.
However, in the specifications it shows as having no lightscribe technology and no fingerprint reader?
I'm looking to purchase this laptop today, 6th Jan, as a result of reading your review. Do you think thier specifications have been entered wrongly and the laptop does infact come with these two features... or will thier be varying builds of the same laptop?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look here http://h10010.www1.hp.com/w... for the full HDX range and specs.
Did you manage to find out the answer to your question.
Are Comet selling a downgrade version, I really want this model and their price is the best but want all the features.
Comet are selling the same version as the review.
Check out this link as one of the pics shows the spec on the side of the box (including a finger print reader!
The Comet specifications are infact wrong. I phoned them earlier and they got back to me by email confirming that the lightscribe technology and fingerprint reader are included.
However, Comet do not have the laptop currently in stock and do not even have a stock due-in date for thier warehouse (they told me to keep checking the site but it could take upto 6 weeks to return).
I then phone Laskys (twice) to ask them if they could price-match the laptop from Comet. The best the could offer is to reduce thier price from 𨀝.99 to 𧿺.99. I then went to place my order but, alas, they too don't have it in stock and have no due date either.
The only other retailer i have found that comes close is Play.com and they have said that they cannot price match or drop thier price.
If anyone finds this laptop anywhere for under 𧿻 please post here asap.
Thanks BigB@dJ@y and Craig for info.
I will have a look later and if anywhere else has this model, I have also considered the 18" version, any thoughts?
The specs on HP's UK website for the HDX16-1005EA (someone has posted the link above) do not list LightScribe. I ordered from Comet on Monday and it arrived this morning. The unit I received looks at a quick glance to be identical to the review model, except the LightScribe logo is not silk-screened on the drive housing, and the LightScribe sticker below the keyboard is absent.
So was the unit TR reviewed actually the standard UK spec...?
(Not that I intend to lose much sleep over this!)
I think LightScribe may have been quietly dropped from the specs. Compare and contrast these two versions of HP's flyer for this model!
Thanks Simonm very useful, I phoned Comet too and they had no idea when they would have more in stock and of course if a model is selling well after good reviews, the price may also jump when it is in stock.
I am back considering the Acer Aspire 6935G which at Comet is 𨀊, would welcome your thoughts and advice.
I ordered and mine was meant to be delivered on Wednesday.
Didn't get it then and was told it should arrive Thursday...
They eventually informed me (on Thursday) that it appeared to be out of stock.
Didn't stop them taking payment!!! Good ol' Comet!
I've now got two options...either wait and see if it comes back in stock, or just cancel.
I think I may give it a couple of weeks and in the meantime see if anywhere else starts to offer it at a similar price.
I have noticed a couple of other websites (including Play) saying that they are out of stock as well (within the last 24 hours or so)

My future will not copy fair my past
On any leaf but Heaven's. Be fully done
Supernal Will ! I would not fain be one
Who, satisfying thirst and breaking fast,
Upon the fulness of the heart at last
Says no grace after meat. My wine has run
Indeed out of my cup, and there is none
To gather up the bread of my repast
Scattered and trampled; yet I find some good
In earth's green herbs, and streams that bubble up
Clear from the darkling ground,--content until
I sit with angels before better food: --
Dear Christ ! when thy new vintage fills my cup,
This hand shall shake no more, nor that wine spill.

Re: Dinghy Talk
After having two home made prams, and then, an inflatable, and deciding it didn't work for me, I bought a 20 year old Boston Whaler 11 foot tender for $1000.
Pros: It really appears to be absolutely indestructible (you could machine gun it and it would still float). You can row it easily. It tows easily. Runs 30 knots with a 25 hp on it. It is unbelievably stable, even when loaded down.
Cons: It is heavy, and weighs 280 pounds.
Re: Dinghy Talk
I have a Walker Bay 8 and think it fits our needs the best. Rows well can sail it when I want to play and as far as stable I walk around it while underway , paddle it standing up and unlike our first dinghy an inflatable I've yet been dumped overboard twice by the 1st mate. Our cheap ($100) 3.5hp pushes it along fine when we have 2 or 3 aboard or supplies. It also fits on our forward deck on our E-32 and easy to bring aboard with a halyard.
Re: Dinghy Talk
I am a rower. I did it competitively in HS and College. I am in the market now for a dinghy and am looking at the Gig Harbor ones with the sliding seat option.
Re: Dinghy Talk
I have both and will say here that the inflatable is so stable that I am actually going out to buy a new one today. I bought used and will chalk it up to experience that a used PVC is not the way to go. Too many possible hidden issues to be sure it is a good buy unless you know the owner.
My $.02
Re: Dinghy Talk
Our dink is our car. It is our means of transportation to the market, the doctor or anywhere else including snorkeling and visiting friends. It needs to be stable (even if you aren't), seaworthy to a point (I'd rather hop into our dinghy, with a full tank of gas, than our life raft if necessary, sailing here in the West Indies) and it needs to be tough. The last thing you want to have is a dinghy that you worry about all the time.
Our Zodiac Classic, Mark 2 is seven years old and not one leak. It gets tied (OK, chained) to wooden, concrete and even stainless steel (F de F, Martinique) docks and never had a problem. We do not have a RIB, ours is completely deflatable and we can stow it below should the weather deteriorate. It is only 10 feet long with the aloy floor boards it can carry 2 55 gallon drums if we need to ferry fuel, for instance or 4 adults and gear on a plane.
Underway, we always stow it on the foredeck, even though we have davits. We use the davits each night at anchor, but we know it is completely secure on deck when sailing.
I have had inflatables since the early 70's and have found that for longevity they must be kept fully inflated, basketball firm and as light as possible, when tied to a dock.
The inflatables are much easier to get into from the water and sometimes the run to shore or snorkeling for that matter, can be over a mile across a rather nasty stretch of water, some other things to consider. Also, think "bumper cars" with friends on a hot summer day!
It may be a big chunk of change to start off, but over time a safe, comfortable dink is worth every penny.
Re: Dinghy Talk
I have a 10' fiberglass whitehall style rowboat that we used to use as a tender. It rows beautifully, and due to the full length keel it tracks nicely when towed. the downside is that putting it on the foredeck was not an option, and we always worried about it damaging the paint on our boat when getting in or out.
We have since bought an 8' Aquapro aluminum hulled RIB, and we find it much more suited to our purposes. It is very stable, weighs under 100lbs and fits on our foredeck. We don't have to worry about it dinging our boat or the boats around us, and it tows nicely. The downside is that it isn't the greatest rowboat, but we just put a small outboard on it if we need to travel any significant distances in it.
Dinghy Talk
I'm shopping and researching for a dinghy purchase. It seems like the most en vogue option is an inflatable/RIB. This makes sense, because they are so stable. It must make loading/unloading on the hook much easier.
I may not be able to afford an inflatable. My thought process is that I might be better served buying a fiberglass or plastic dinghy in new condition instead of a used inflatable in suspect condition.
Do you cruise with a Walker Bay or other rigid dinghy? Tell me about it. Do you use davits, tow, or keep on deck?
This month I will make a 280 nm trek from Islamorada to Cocoa Beach Florida.

text: Following conflicting rumors about whether the iPhone 4S would include near field communication (NFC) technology (rumors that were eventually decided in the negative), Digitimes reports that Apple is indeed one of the vendors still expected to introduce NFC-enabled operating system software (and thus hardware) in 2012. Apple's inclusion of NFC in next year's iPhone would appear to come as part of a tipping point for the technology, with the technology's prevalence in the smartphone industry set to increase from about 10% to over 50% in the span of two to three years. NFC standardization issues have been one problem slowing adoption of the technology, but with 45 wireless carriers including AT&T and Verizon now signed on to a SIM-based standard, those issues may be reaching a resolution. Back-and-forth rumors about whether NFC would appear in the 2011 version of the iPhone led to considerable uncertainty about where Apple stood on the technology, with The New York Times noting in March that NFC would be a part of a "coming iteration" of the iPhone without specifying a product generation. By mid-May, Bernstein analysts correctly predicted not only that NFC would not be included in Apple's forthcoming iPhone hardware but that the new iPhone would be an iPhone 4S and not a radically redesigned iPhone 5.

Global Social Betterment & Humanitarian Programs Sponsored by the Church of Scientology
More than a thousand Scientologists, their friends and families cheered the lighting of a new state-of-the-art LED sign Friday night atop the Scientology complex on the corner of L. Ron Hubbard Way and Sunset Boulevard.
The updated landmark is three times the size of the previous Scientology sign, which had been in place since the late 1970s and is recognized the world over. The new sign is 5.2 tons, 84 feet long, 16 feet tall and can be seen for miles - from several Hollywood and Los Angeles freeways, and indeed by aircraft from far above.
In May, the Church of Scientology launched a nationwide multiplatform ad campaign on the Internet and television which has driven hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Church's massive Web site (www.Scientology.org [5]). Edie Reuveni, president of the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles, said, "With this sign, we tell everyone: we are here, we are open seven days a week and you are welcome to come in and find out for yourself what Scientology is."
Churches of Scientology on L. Ron Hubbard Way and Sunset Boulevard serve the Los Angeles community and parishioners from throughout the Western United States. Hundreds visit every day to participate in courses or pastoral counseling, as well as volunteer programs ranging from drug prevention to human rights education and disaster relief services.
Author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard founded the Scientology religion. The first Church of Scientology was formed by Scientologists in Los Angeles in February 1954. Los Angeles is home to the largest concentration of Scientologists worldwide.

Is gold losing its lucre?
Even as LIC Mutual Fund faces the heat over heavy losses in liquid and money market investments, its equity schemes and index funds continue to be among the worst performers in their categories
Life Insurance Corporation of India's (LIC) mutual fund company has fallen on troubled times, according to a report in a leading business daily. With questionable investments in liquid and money market schemes, LIC Mutual Fund has notched up losses to the tune of Rs120 crore in its half-yearly earnings report. This hardly comes as a surprise given the pathetic track record across the spectrum of mutual fund schemes launched by the subsidiary of the country's largest financial institution.
LIC enjoys the trust of millions of insurance policyholders in the country, who bank on its safe image and clean record for settling claims. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with LIC MF. For long now, a majority of LIC MF's schemes have been among the worst performers in their category and have earned a notorious reputation for underperformance and average returns.
Here are some bare facts. Be it equity diversified funds, index funds or debt funds, LIC's schemes figure at the bottom of the performance charts in all categories. It would be hard for any fund house and its schemes to be such consistent underperformers. Among the 20 worst-performing equity funds over the past five years, as many as five schemes are from LIC. All these schemes have grossly underperformed their respective benchmarks. These include the LIC MF Tax Plan (11%), LIC MF Opportunities (12%), LIC MF Sensex Advantage (12%), LIC MF Growth (13%) and LIC MF Equity (14%).
LIC MF has two index funds in its portfolio-LIC Index Sensex and LIC Index Nifty. It has, somehow, managed to make a mockery of the passive investing concept too. Launched in November 2002, the LIC Index Sensex has returned 15.77% over the past five years, while its benchmark, the Sensex, has gained 19% in the same period. Meanwhile, the LIC Index Nifty has delivered 14.6% returns over the past five years, compared to 19% gains by the S&P CNX Nifty over the same period. This humungous tracking error shows that fund managers have tried to time the market at their own peril. If fund managers make a hash of even passive investing, what hope would investors have of getting decent returns from its actively managed funds?
It is easy to see that LIC's expertise does not in any way lie with mutual funds. Its performance so far has been only marginally better than JM Mutual Fund, which we identified as being the worst performing fund house in the country.

Smithsonian Institution scientist Bill Eberhard, founding father of the whole field, favors the internal courtship idea.
His costumes were exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution and St. Louis Museum of Art, among other high-end venues.
As chief executive officer of the Smithsonian Institution, you entrusted to me the immediate control of the affairs of the Bureau.
Subsequently, it was acquired for the Smithsonian Institution.
It is a pleasure to add that our own Smithsonian Institution published two of his speculative papers some years ago.
But they wanted to put it in the Smithsonian Institution, and he had to get another.
His Chinook jargon was published by the Smithsonian Institution.
We had the pleasure of opening it to-day at the Smithsonian Institution, and oh!
A duplicate set was for years required to be sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
The collection was given to the Smithsonian Institution in 1950.
A group of over a dozen museums and research and publication facilities, such as the National Air and Space Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of History and Technology, the National Zoo, and the National Gallery of Art. Many of the Smithsonian's buildings are on the Washington Mall. The institution is named after James Smithson, an Englishman whose bequest enabled its founding in the nineteenth century.

The above is a menu in a div consisting out of anchors with class=menu.
Now I know NN and IE render borders different from each other in css, but in NN the above code produces messy results such as background overlapping border. Is there a work-around for this issue?
NN is doing things correctly. You have specified you want your anchors to be 100% wide with a 5px border on the left and right sides. This means the total width will be 100% + 10px - which is what is causing the overlap.
It doesn't show on IE because IE incorrectly creates borders inside the existing width of items.
The solution is simple tho - just don't specify a width for the .menu class - it will fill the width of the parent by default.
Then you'll find out about errors like missing units straight away. :)

Vivid Racing Porsche 996 turbo / X50 / GT2 3.8-4.0 liter stroker kit - $6500
The 996 turbo is a very popular modification platform. Used vehicles are a great value and a lot of power can be extracted from the twin turbo flat-6. Increasing displacement is certainly an option as well with 3.82, 3.86, and and 3.94 displacement options for $6500. The stroker kit obviously includes a crank as well as rods and pistons. The crank is made out of billet 4340 steel and is lighter than the stock crank. Full specs below.
Since 2001, the Porsche 996 Turbo has been one of the best cars built. For it's time, there was nothing that had the overall package that this 911 did. With twin turbos, the 3.6L engine put out over 400 horsepower. Moving forward to the current day, tuning and building a Porsche 996TT is much easier. Many companies have produced economical ways to get customers the increased power anywhere from 500 - 1000+ horsepower. With the 996TT cars priced as low as $35,000, a new generation of drivers is able to enjoy what the 996 Turbo can do. Going back to 2005, Vivid Racing enters the Porsche market. Having built a supercharged 996C2, a 750HP 996TT, and blistering 206.2mph in the Mile on a 825HP 997TT, we can say our street cred will back this new product. For those looking to refresh a high mileage engine or achieve horsepower and torque numbers that striker fear in others eyes, this new Porsche 996 Turbo Stroker Kit is just the start.
With over a year in development with our USA manufacturing partner, we are proud to release the Vivid Racing 3.8L to 4.0L Stroker Kit for the Porsche 996 Turbo engines. In cooperation with well known engine builder, Brian Crower, Vivid Racing has this new stroker motor that will certainly take your 3.6L power to a whole new level. We had 3 goals to achieve in manufacturing of this kit. First we wanted a product that was extremely strong to handle high horsepower builds. Next we wanted to have some what of an a-la-carte program where customers could pick and choose certain options for their needs. Finally, we wanted to remove the Porsche tax.
What makes up the Vivid Racing Stroker Kit is 3 main parts. Crank, Rods, Pistons. Instead of just changing out the piston size and adding new liners to get a 3.8L, we developed this full billet 4340 steel crank. The billet crank is lighter then the stock unit and stronger than a forged part. In the pursuit of higher horsepower, upgrading the crank is just part of potential your car can reach. Billet cranks start out as a large cylindrical chunk of steel. This material is already forged instead of needing to be forged. Since the billet part is machined, the grain structure runs parallel throughout the entire length of the crank. The design of this billet crankshaft is +4mm (80.4mm) in stroke. With the design of the crank, we are able to offer a 3.82L, 3.86L, and a 3.94L (all requires new sleeves).
The next part of the 996TT stroker kit is the rods. The rods maintain the OEM dimensions. These rods are also 4340 billet steel which are VERY strong for high horsepower. To further their function and strength, they are equipped with ARP fasteners. The center to center measurement of the rods is 5.00in. The big end bore is 2.284in and the big end width is .744in. Finally the pin end bore is .905in. As a OEM replacement to the Porsche 996 Turbo short block, all these parts fit without issues. However do to the stroke, part of the oil pump housing must be ground down (see photos).
The a-la-carte program comes into place with the pistons. The pistons we use are from CP-Carrillo. The CP Racing pistons are forged aluminum and feature upgraded 9310 alloy wrist pins. All CP pistons are balanced to + or - 1 gram. Made in the USA, these are fully CNC machined. The standard VR stroker kit will take you to a 3.82L with a +.5mm bore to your block. You can increase your displacement by going with a +1mm bore to get a 3.86L. If you want the ultimate in power and displacement, +2mm bore will get your engine to a commanding 3.94L. All require upgraded sleeves in which we recommend the Darton iron ones. The Darton sleeves are ductile iron and an additional cost. Each piston kit will require your cylinder blocks to be sent to a machine shop to be bored out.
This stroker kit is designed to work on all 2001-2005 Porsche 911 Turbo cars. This includes the 996 Turbo, 996 Turbo X50, and 996 GT2. This short block upgrade does require new OEM bearings and gaskets for installation. Vivid Racing stands behind this product with a 1 year parts warranty. We suggest having a highly experience Porsche engine builder for the installation as specific tools and knowledge are required. If you have any questions, please contact us.

I saw online this thing for answers and i read it I had the same test as what the guy wanted to cheat on the person who answered gave the guy all the wrong answers to the test. I don't blame the guy who gave the wrong answers he new the guy was cheating so he showed that person how bad that can turn out for you. Everyone on here be respectful to Mrs.Sue and all the other advisors on here. Im sure everyone who reads this is going to think I'm a jerk but the Im just telling the truth and downfalls of cheating. now I have waisted 15 minutes of my life explaining that cheating is bad.

Seems to me the interest in louder horns is about safety, not about hostility.
Just this week I was in a parking lot and an elderly guy in his Oldsmobile began backing up into my parking space. He had his windows rolled up. I leaned on the horn but he didn't hear me. He hit me! The bumper is scratched up but I didn't feel like hassling him about it. Does that sound like a road rage problem to you?
Yes, I would have loved to have air horns at that moment. But not to intimidate or humiliate the old guy. Just to get noticed!
I drive the interstates a lot. Why do you think all the big rigs have air horns? Why do you think emergency vehicle sirens are so much louder than OEM car horns? Hmmm... maybe they figured out that a loud horn can make the life/death difference of getting noticed quickly -- especially by somebody with their windows rolled up and radio cranked. Ya think?

Worth fixing my beetle??
i bet most of u guys don't concider a beetle a hot rod eh? well anyways.. i got 3 cars at the moment.. my 01 trans am.. my 79 chevy 4x4 pick up and my 74 super beetle convertible.. the truck is a project in the making and the beetle im not sure about yet.. its totaly rusted out.. and im not sure if it would be worth it to stripe it down and get all the rust out.. ? do u think this car has value? well i guess they kinda do now that they don't makin anywhere anymore.. but to raplace/ repair everything from the frame to rust spots on every panel not sure if i should go for it.. its for sale right now.. has bin for 6 months.. but no ones interested cuz its rusted out.. mecanicly its in good condition... just rusty body.. im a local big rig driver and im home every nite.. and weekends.. so i got plenty time to tear it apart.. and some spending cash also.. but i em paying for my 01 trans am still every month.. and its parked.. but then again my grandpa loves VW's and says he no's a guy who tears em down and rebuilds them for a living.. so he said if i need parts let him no.. but its the fact of all the work and keeping the car i can't decide wut to do... was gona try to sell it for enough money for a lift kit in my pick up..one thing i'd wana do for sure if i fixed it was fix up the motor to at least 200 hp... so it'll fly.. but from the looks of it.. it'll cost near 5 grand to do that.. i'd do the work myself.. but parts arnt exaclty cheap.. i'll post my site on here and u guys can take a look at it if u want.. also is my trans am and pick up.... im just stuck here.. dont' wana sell it then regrete it down the road..
Cant speak for everyone, but I think bugs are the coolest! If you have the time, cash and desire, Id go 4 it. Ive seen them bugs hit some pretty darn fast times on nothing but motor. Build ya big ole 2500+cc motor and let her fly. Just my 02 cents worth. HG
as cheap as vw parts are i think its horrible that everyone doesnt own one (including myself)... i mean what other car can you get front fenders for 40$ on... pick up a vw sence (i think thats it) magazine... they have lots of parts in them from frames to tube frames floor pans crate engines ect... 200hp will cost you a great deal... and will be a lot of motor on that little car... probly 125 or so would be more than enough spunk... a friend of mine is putting a 180hp subaru motor in his bug... you can buy kits for it and itll probly end up being a good bit more reliable than a pretty maxed out vw motor... but still a screamer in street vws terms
Bugs are cool if done the right way. Here's a thread where I posted some links to pics of some radically customized bugs. Check 'em out.
Bugs are cool! Fix it up! I had a 69' vert that I wish I would have kept.
I would keep it man, I have seen some bugs waist porsches. What I would do is look up how to throw a porsche engine into one of those little things, you would be moving pretty good. i would just becarefull not to roll it.

Word came down earlier this week that the struggling Weinsteins had decided to push back the release of Alexandre Aja's 3D remake of Piranha from April to at least August, primarily in order not to complete with Lionsgate's Kick-Ass since both would likely appeal to the same audience. But it turns out there's more to the story after all.
Shock Till You Drop heard from director Aja and producer Mark Canton, who explained, "Our PIRANHA are still breeding!!! After the revolution of Avatar, I want to give the necessary time possible to perfect and heighten both our visual effects and our 3-D. The Final Destination 3D's huge opening weekend the previous year is a good indication that August will be prime feeding month! We are working on crafting every tooth, every scar and every fin with the utmost dread to give you the greatest punch of the summer yet in 3D!"
If a little more cross-mogination of all the ingredients is required to provide the kind of mayhem we are expecting from Aja and his crew, then August it is! We can wait while you guys get it right.

Heart Catcher
How does this feel? Stop worrying, start feeling. I love the power of feel. When we bring the word "now" it is abstract, and takes us out of the essence. Feel is the key. How does my heart feel now? IS it uplifted, does it feel down, then turn it around. Trust in the feeling, your feelings, let them guide you. It takes practice to listen and feel. So release judgement and self-rejection, have faith in the feeling, and keep your mind still. There is no power out there, none, it is within. [Read more…]

The bed was so comfortable and the room was very clean
continent location Excellent free shuttle service Restaurant food is just ok, fruit is not so fresh
clean, big rooms, free internet a little expensive
Convenience to University of Pittsburgh They didn't answer the phone at the front desk, on 3 different occasions. It rolls over to central reservations which can't answer your questions. We didn't receive housekeeping services any of the 3 days we were there. We left early in the morning and came back late in the evening each day and our room had not been cleaned. I had to go down to the front desk to ask for clean towels because they never answered the phone. You get two bottles of water in your room at check-in, but they are not restocked each day. If you want water each day, you have to pay for it from their "pantry/snack" area. Not worth the price we paid for the total lack of basic services just to be close to the campus.
No shower curtain in the bathroom
in the city center, courtesy van, nice staff.
Location Service in restaurant
friendly and courteous; requests met in a timely manner
Location, location, location Little pricey but OK
It was supposed to include breakfast for two and we were told that it did not
We stayed here for a trip to Pittsburgh for the Steelers play off game. The staff was amazing, room was super clean and comfortable and room price was extremely affordable. I was a little worried because of its distance to Heinz Field but was pleasantly surprised to find out that they offered a free shuttle that dropped us off within walking distance of the stadium. Called the shuttle on our walk back and the driver was already waiting for us!!! Extremely satisfied with our stay here and will definitely be staying there again on our next trip!!!

Collins Bill Passes Out of Committee
The U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs has passed a bill introduced by 9th District Congressman Doug Collins, which includes Stephens County, that is designed to protect Isreal's military advantage over its Middle East neighbors.
House Resolution 1992, which is known as The Israel Qualitative Military Edge Enhancement Act, was introduced by Collins, who is the Vice Chair of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee.
Collins said that the legislation also increases accountability and transparency in government as it pertains to the relationship between Israel and the United States.
According to Collins, current law supports the American-Israeli relationship by requiring the President to submit a report on the status of weapons systems sold to countries in the Middle East every four years.
House Resolution 1992 would require a report every two years if it passed.
Additionally, the measure would broaden the definition of Qualitative Military Edge to take into account the impact of cyber warfare on Israeli defense.
House Resolution 1992 passed out of committee by voice vote and now awaits consideration by the whole U.S. House of Representatives.

Not since the Bee Gees infected the world with Saturday Night Fever has there been a more unlikely dance pop juggernaut than Maroon 5. Unlikely because, like the Bee Gees, the California sextet started out as a traditional, guitar-based pop band, prone to earnest sentiments, acoustic guitars and heartbreak lyrics.
Not now. On their ironically titled fourth album, Overexposed, the beat rules all, with the remnants of the band's old sound wholly subsumed by a battery of drum machines, synths and studio effects. About the only things remaining intact are Adam Levine's slightly adenoidal tenor and the tendency to obsess on love go wrong.
It's tempting to ascribe this transformation and its corresponding commercial success to the Max Martin factor. Martin, who executive-produced Overexposed, is the Swedish pop guru behind the success of Britney Spears, Pink, Ke$ha and countless other dance pop stars, and his influence can be heard in string of smash hits dating back to the mid-nineties and Ace of Base. Slap his production credit on an album, and the reflexive reaction of most in the industry is to think, "Svengali."
But that's not fair, because the Maroons' groove obsession is actually an outgrowth from their guitar pop roots. Specifically, it was the 2008 hit Misery – yet another love-is-torturing-me tune, but one that tooled along over a Bee Gee-ish Miami disco guitar line – that set the stage for the band's current success. It wasn't a dance song so much as a pop song with a danceable beat, and while the beats have grown stronger over time, the pop content remains essentially the same.
Take, for example, Tickets, an addicttarively catchy track about being in love with a narcissist. Although it's powered by a classically Martinesque blend of sawing synths and chattering post-disco guitar, what ultimately drives the track is the vocal line, which spins artful variations on the sing-song cadence of nyah-nyah taunt. Add some funk inflection on the verse and a la-la vocal hook, and the listener is left like the song's protagonist, "singing along like there's no tomorrow."
Even though it boasts both a rap break and a club-style kick drum, there's even more of the traditional pop sound to Payphone, the group's current single. Levine's pleading vocal, which arches into falsetto with the words "pay phone," is precisely the sort of thing the band did its strummy youth, and indeed, part of the fun of the record is the way that Levine's protagonist, hung up and fed up, inverts the whole brokenhearted singer/songwriter convention, complaining in the chorus that one more love song will make him sick.
Dance pop is, at bottom, all about methodology – the beats, the studio gloss, the lyrical conventions – and in that sense, the most impressive thing about Overexposed is that Maroon 5 are able to both embrace and mock the machinery they use. It suggests that they are not only pop-savvy but whip-smart, a combination not even the Bee Gees managed.

We're talking leg-hold traps, sharp-toothed and mean but not too bad if you haven't stepped in one. But you have, so you write a song, nothing too grand, because it's only one leg, and it happens to everybody. Love lies bleeding, and Wisconsin trio Jaill responds with sharp-edged jangly tunes, addictively mobile changes and steely guitar riffs that twist and claw together. "I waste a lot of things," they sing in the opening track, while cycling through three different time signatures that make the catchy tune impossible to dance to. Perfect Ten is some kind of perfect, loose in feeling but tightly made, with a tune that's a labyrinthine ear-worm.

A Place To Bury Strangers (Dead Oceans)
3.5 stars
Taking big chunks of inspiration from classic bands doesn't necessarily mean that A Place To Bury Strangers' music is uninspired. It's a shame that detractors can't see past their debts to 1980s goth-rock (which are less prominent here than in the past), since there's a lot of innovative, exciting stuff going on at the margins of the New Yorkers trio's third album. Revenge makes the case most forcefully, with singer/guitarist/effects whiz Oliver Ackerman sweating toxins out through his vocal cords as scabrous guitars coil around each other yet never touch. If aging noise-rock fans don't feel the white-knuckle, overstimulated-endorphin-gland tension of a song like Mind Control, they might want to have their hearing checked. Dave Morris
The Tarnished Gold
Beachwood Sparks (Sub Pop)
3 Stars
"What's that feeling when you're being free; past and present become the same thing?" On its first recording in 10 years, the mellow-gold country-rock outfit Beachwood Sparks makes hazy, harmonic music, rhymes "lonesome" with "then some," and answers its own questions. This is stream-fed psychedelia and California buckwheat on the back acres of Ranch CSN&Y, with a little Oakley Hall vibe thrown in for melodic measure. This band and guests like Ariel Pink have reappeared and disappeared simultaneously – a decade to them doesn't mean a thing. Brad Wheeler

Hey everybody,
I'm trying to get into hunting upland birds with a camera instead of a gun. Do you guys have any tips on how to get good shots of birds like chukar and pheasants? They seem to be hard to find when I go looking. Should I go early morning or late afternoon?
Then also, I have some hunting videos that I have sitting around on my desktop. Are there any good free video editing programs for slowing footage down? Or do I need to man up and purchase one?
Then on top of that, what editing software do you recommend?
