Indilinx based OCZ Vertex and Super Talent UltraDrive ME SSDs Reviewed
We first previewed the OCZ Vertex back in February. Our tests were done with pre-release firmware and the drive, while a decent performer, was very rough around the edges. Over the coming months we saw several updated firmwares released. I put each release through a batch of thorough testing and even passed reports back to OCZ as to help work out some of the kinks. I resisted putting out a full piece, even after the drive went 'retail', as I felt it simply was not ready for prime time. Some early retail firmwares resulted in random bricking and data loss, and most of them resulted in severe fragmentation / performance degredation with continued use. With each new firmware came some fixes, and some additional reasons to hold off on considering it a truly 'retail' product.
Late last month, Indilinx pushed out version 1571 of its firmware. This was propagated out by the repsective manufacturers of SSD's driven by their controller. Today we will look at two such units, provided by OCZ and Super Talent.
A pair of Indilinx driven SSD's await the gauntlet.

Over at Livejournal, New Zealand blogger Stella Matutina writes about how much she's been enjoying the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction lately. And then she comes up with an intriguing description of some of her favorite stories that she's read in there:
As I read the November/December 2011 issue, I began to think specifically about the kind of science fiction they publish. I realized that a lot of it is what I think of as baroque SF; that is, SF set in the distant future and/or on other worlds where the social structure has led to a distinct class system that promotes decadence and drives much of the conflict. The advanced technology may resemble magic in some respects, too, though everyone in the story is quite clear that it's scientific, not mystical.
I really like the term "baroque SF" — is there any better term for the kind of stories she's describing? Or should we just go ahead and adopt her terminology? Any thoughts? [Stella Matutina on LJ]

Boulder County Clerk Hillary Hall argues that Colorado's gay marriage ban is "unconstitutional and unenforceable" in her response to a suit filed by the state attorney general seeking to stop her from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
In a response filed Monday, Hall said Attorney General John Suthers' office is forcing local officials to enforce a provision that will likely be proven unconstitutional in the wake of rulings in similar cases around the country.
"The state has all but admitted that, in the absence of a final Hail Mary decision from the United States Supreme Court that is contrary to the 23 courts that have thus far examined the constitutionality of state same-sex marriage bans, Colorado's marriage bans are unconstitutional and unenforceable," David Hughes, deputy Boulder County attorney, wrote in the motion. "This court should find that local officials — in particular Clerk Hall — should not be required to enforce unconstitutional laws while the cases against such laws wind their way through the court system."
Suthers filed suit last week asking for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in an effort to stop Hall from issuing any more marriage licenses to same-sex couples and invalidating the more than 105 licenses her office has issued.
Hall started issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples June 25 after a decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Kitchen v. Herbert that struck down a gay marriage ban in Utah. Although a stay was issued in that decision, Boulder County's motion argues the ruling itself clearly establishes "marriage as a fundamental right that extends to same-sex couples."
"Colorado's ban is no different from Utah's ban in either form or substance, and the state has acknowledged as much, indicating that, because of Kitchen, the state would not oppose entry of a permanent injunction against enforcement of Colorado's ban if the mandate in Kitchen is no longer stayed," Hughes wrote. "Thus, the state is relying solely on the Tenth Circuit's stay of its mandate to attempt to force Clerk Hall to enforce an otherwise unconstitutional law.
"Hall ignores such laws at her peril," Hughes wrote. "Contrary to the state's position, Clerk Hall cannot fend off a challenge to her actions simply on the basis that a law is still on the books in Colorado."
University of Colorado School of Law professor Jennifer Hendricks said she agrees that the stay still leaves Hall open to a suit if she were to deny a same-sex couple a marriage license on that basis.
"A stay is not an order not to comply; it doesn't prevent voluntary compliance," Hendricks said. "A same-sex couple could sue (Hall) in federal court and look at the 10th Circuit Court decision very easily."
A three-hour hearing has been set for 9 a.m. Wednesday by Boulder District Judge Andrew Hartman.
The Colorado Attorney General's Office did not comment on Hall's filing.
A 'difficult' case
Filing for preliminary injunctive relief is designed to protect the plaintiff, in this case the state of Colorado, and to preserve the power of the court to render a decision following a full trial.
In order to get the temporary restraining order, the state must prove that there is a reasonable chance the marriage ban will ultimately be proven constitutional and that Hall continuing to issue licenses to same-sex couples will cause immediate and irreparable injury.
"The state has to say they are likely to win eventually and they need this injunction in the meantime to let the status quo continue," Hendricks said. "Both of those are difficult requirements for the state."
In the motion, Hughes wrote that since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the Windsor case in June 2013, "every court to evaluate marriage bans like Colorado's has found them unconstitutional, including decisions in the Tenth Circuit, 19 federal district court cases and two supreme court cases."
Tom Russell, a professor at the University of Denver who is also representing a couple married by Hall, said he agrees with Hall's assertion that recent court cases have shown it is not likely Colorado's gay marriage ban will stand for much longer.
"I agree with the broader context that the Colorado bans are unconstitutional, just as bans in other states have been found unconstitutional," Russell said. "The state has shifted from defending the ban on gay marriage to simply delaying allowing gay marriage to take place."
As for irreparable harm, according to the suit, Suthers is claiming Hall's actions results in "greater legal chaos" because "the public is left confused and uncertain regarding the issued marriage licenses' significance and effect."
But Hall in her response said that even if Suthers' assertion that the licenses she issued are invalid is true, the harm done to couples by giving them "false" licenses is less than the impact of not being able to marry.
"Even accepting the state's claim that such licenses are invalid, which Clerk Hall does not, such minor inconveniences pale in comparison to the lifelong injuries suffered by couples unable to exercise their fundamental right to marry."
Hall said in her response she is prepared to call witnesses who will testify the same-sex marriage ban has denied them certain rights and benefits opposite-sex couples have as well as stigmatizes and humiliates them.
Two couples married by Hall have also filed motions to intervene and become part of the case, saying Suthers is seeking to invalidate their marriage licenses and that they should have a chance to defend them.
"We're defending their marriage by challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage," said Russell, who is representing one of the couples. "We're going to argue (the marriage licenses) are valid because the ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional."

I purchased these at a local cycling shop. I wasn't looking for cycling shorts at the time, but I tried these on and it was love at first sight! I am an injured runner (now cycling) so I suppose I am partial to the running short look. I am also tall so the longer length appeals to me. The waistband feels a bit loose relative to the fit of the shorts. As well, the liner has a bit of a diaper feel to it. However, these shorts are very comfortable and help me to maintain my runner identity!

Amid the flood of court documents being released as part of the ongoing Apple vs Samsung courtroom drama, Ina Fried from AllThingsD notes the following line (emphasis mine):
Samsung was forced to release a bunch of documents it had been keeping under seal that show the likeness between its products and Apple's. Examples outlined in the documents include comments from Samsung workers discussion similarities with Apple's products and reports Samsung got from retailer Best Buy that Samsung tablets were being returned because customers thought they were getting iPads.
It's Best Buy customers plural, so we know it's more than one. But no number is given, so we don't know it's more than two. We have not idea how many Best Buy stores the customers were spread over either. It makes for a great headline or pull quote. It may or may not make for good evidence in court. But it almost certainly will get some attention online, and be the subject of a few jokes.
But seriously, how many people really bought a Samsung tablet thinking it was an iPad, took it home, and then at some point discovered it wasn't? And at what point did they discover it wasn't? How many really didn't know vs. how many had second thoughts and decided they wanted an iPad instead?
And does that say more about Samsung copying Apple design motifs, Best Buy not properly interacting with their customers to assure they're getting what they want to get, or customers just being inattentive? Remember how hard it was for our own Seth Clifford to buy an Android tablet at Staples?
It's going to get sillier before it gets saner, folks.

Lipscomb's Lady Bisons placed five players in double figures on the way to a 94-50 rout of the Nashville All-Stars in an exhibition game Thursday night at Allen Arena.
"It was great to have a dress rehearsal and work out some of the first game jitters," said Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett. "We got to work against a zone, and we had the chance to work on a few other things."
Penny Jones, who sat out last season as a red shirt after transferring from the University ofHawaii , led the Lady Bisons with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
"Penny has started shooting a 3-point shot, and that has given an added dimension to her game," Bennett said. "We want her to shoot the ball. And she is also going to be a good rebounder."
Also scoring in double figures were Courtney Boynton (14), Sarah Woods (12), and Lindsay Daly and Dana Carrigan with 10 each.
"Sarah Woods played a very relaxed game," Bennett said. "Courtney shot the ball well," Bennett said.
Daly and Kaleigh Grossman each had seven rebounds for the Lady Bisons.
"Kaleigh was very active on the boards," Bennett said. "She was also perfect in shooting from the field (2-2) and free throw line (3-3). "
Catie Woods, a freshman, ran the point for most of the game, splitting time with Carrigan. Bennett liked what he saw from both of them.
"Catie is going to face a lot more pressure against Memphis , but she has always played good competition," Bennett said. "She made adjustments well in this game."
Renee Logan, a former Lipscomb University player, scored a game-high 18 points for the All-Stars.
Guard Karli Osborn and center Katie Beth Pate did not play in the game due to injuries.
The Lady Bisons open the regular season on the road Monday night at the University ofMemphis

Gary, I'm assuming you have your original master cylinder, and if so, do what I did. Go to your local auto parts store and get a REBUILT MASTER CYLINDER. They're only $17 or so, which is about 10 bucks cheaper than the rebuild kit!!Transfer all the internals from the rebuilt one into yours (and put your old parts back in the rebuilt one), and then return it as the core and you'll be up and running again! All the internal parts are the same between the original and the rebuilt, so it's an easy swap. Not only that, but NONE of the rebuild kits come with the secondary piston which is usually chewed up more than the primary!Ed
The MC also has a 'D4' cast into it, just below the '175 date code'.. anyone know what the D4 is for?Gary

Taking advantage of hammering winds that had been blowing throughout the night, the wave fleet met for their skippers meeting in darkness, howling wind, and rain, at 07.00am on competition's final day.
Allowing just enough time for the sun to rise behind the thick banks of dark cloud, Victor Fernandez (Fanatic, Simmer, MFC) and Klaas Voget (Fanatic, NeilPryde, MFC) were summoned to the churning North Sea to sail their semi final heat.
In far and away the toughest wave conditions of the entire 2008 season, the pair commenced their duel in driving rain and bitterly cold winds gusting 40 knots, armed with 3.3m sails. Voget started well, nailing a super technical 360 on the wave face, and a selection of towering jumps.
His downfall would come when he hit a big section a split second too late, and got washed over the falls of a dumping monster. Voget emerged unscathed, but his gear didn't survive the impact.
This left Fernandez free to execute his usual mix of perfect one handed back loops and super stalled forward loops. A late flourish from Voget on a new set of gear proved to be too little too late, as Fernandez had amassed an unreachable tally on his score sheet.
Advancing into the losers final, Voget took on Jonas Ceballos (Fanatic, Simmer, MFC) to decide who'd claim third place in the event. The ensuing heat was mind blowing by anyone's standards. Ceballos dominated the first couple of minutes with a huge pushloop and a one handed backloop, but Voget sat poised and ready to strike.
When his moment came, Voget pulled into a solid, peeling wave, which he demolished with little remorse. Combining the ride with some high caliber jumping proved to be too much for Ceballos to reply to, and on the final horn, Voget had earned himself third position in waves for the event.
The heavy weight final pitched wavesailing's hardest hitters' head to head; Victor Fernandez versus Kauli Seadi (JP, NeilPryde, Mormaii, MFC). The clash was quite simply, spectacular.
Fernandez opened his scoring with a colossal double forward loop, landing almost completely dry. In reply, Seadi launched into a textbook pushloop, exiting the move fully planing.
As expected, Seadi's fluid and super vertical waveriding gave him a massive helping hand on his score sheet, but Fernandez fought back with some equally slick moves, including a big floaty aerial off a section most wouldn't ever consider hitting.
The final blow came when Fernandez blasted right out the back, to pick a wave off the sandbar. Selecting a monster shoulder section, he boosted far and away the biggest backloop of the competition.
Seadi had fought hard, but when it came down to it, Fernandez had outclassed him with a near perfect selection of jumps, enough to award him victory in the heat, and first place in the event.
The ensuing hours saw the wind drop to nothing, only to return in the afternoon, allowing the most closely contested slalom battle of the season to be settled, once and for all.
Resuming elimination four, Britain's Ross William's (Tabou, Gaastra) held the event lead, but disaster struck when he failed to qualify for the race final. The killer blow meant that he not only lost the event title, but also dropped out of the top three, eventually finishing up in sixth position overall.
The elimination culminated with a race final loaded with no less than six sailors that could claim the event win, or make the podium should they place sufficiently high in the heat.
The nail biting heat got off to a nervous start after being cancelled once due to insufficient wind, and again, after one of the gybe marks was ripped from its mooring by a breaking wave.
Third time lucky, and Antoine Albeau (Starboard, NeilPryde) and Bjorn Dunkerbeck (North) screamed to the front of the heat, isolating themselves from the chasing pack. Hungry as always, Albeau dug deep to pull away from Dunkerbeck, who chased close behind, but never threatened.
On the finish line, Albeau celebrated his second race win, earning him the runner up position for the event. Behind him, Dunkerbeck placed another highly consistent result, earning him his second successive event win, and finishing off a remarkable end of season flourish.
The event reached its final destination with a heaving prize giving ceremony on the beach. As thousands of ecstatic fans looked on, the event's victors took centre stage to claim their awards, and conclude another unforgettable event on Sylt's famed, Westerland beach.

Buyer Sought For Valley City Dinosaur
Valley City paleontologist Alan Komrosky Tuesday said he continues to seek a buyer for his triceratops.
Komrosky said he is working on a deal to sell the skeleton, but "but until they sign on the line you can't tell. I've been trying to get it done for eight years."

The problem of root-knot nematodes is getting a harder look in corn production, says Austin Hagan, plant pathologist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.
"I've been looking for a few years now at root-knot nematodes in cotton. Traditionally, root-knot was not thought to be a yield-limiting factor in corn — but it is now. We've shown that if you do a summer/fall nematode soil assay and you come up with 100 larvae per 100 cc's of soil, that is the economic damage threshold where you start losing yield in corn. It's a fairly low count, but at that level we're seeing a 3 percent to 11 percent yield reduction from cotton root nematodes in corn," he says.
A variety trial was conducted this past year where plots were treated with Counter soil insecticide, says Hagan. Over the 13 varieties, there was a 12.5-bushel yield increase where there was a lot of root-knot nematode activity.
"Also in these trials, we monitored the rate of reproduction of the nematodes on the corn varieties. Basically, all of the varieties were good hosts for that nematode. We're not only seeing a problem on corn with root-knot nematodes reproducing and suppressing yields, but we're also setting ourselves up if you come back with cotton the following year. The nematodes will be there, and they will be knocking down cotton yields. And the yield losses we see in cotton are far more dramatic than the ones we see in corn.
"In cotton, we have fewer control options for this nematode. Actually, the only non-host crop for sure is peanuts. Some soybeans also have root-knot resistance. So if you have a problem, that might be another way to go," he says.
To insure disease control in corn, Hagan says it's best to plant early. "If you do that, you won't have rust, and you won't have northern corn leaf blight and Southern corn leaf blight. Also, grow a good variety."
If you plant corn after wheat, "all bets are off" as far as disease pressure goes, he says.
In some parts of the United States, fungicides are required in corn production, says Hagan. "Thankfully, they don't do that here. In some cases, lenders are requiring it. The only time we've really seen a sizeable yield response on corn is in Baldwin County near the Gulf Coast when rust gets on the crop. We did see about a seven to eight-bushel gain in a test this past spring where we used Headline and had no disease activity. But at current prices, that won't pay for the fungicide.
"Again, if you plant late corn, rust becomes an issue. In those situations, fungicides have not been working well. It is recommended that they be applied after silking, and they don't do a good job when they're put out that late," says Hagan.
If you have sandy soils, it's important to go ahead and sample for nematodes, says Leonard Kuykendall, regional Extension agent for central Alabama. "On your soil tests, it has never been as important. In conservation-tillage programs, take the top 3 inches, and do that annually. In conventional tillage, go down as far as you plow — 5 to 6 inches. If you have fields that you're not sure about or new fields, take the top 6 inches. Or, if you have fields that haven't been fertilized in a while, take a sample from the top 2 to 3 inches, and then go down in the same hole and take one from 3 to 6 inches," he says.
Now, more than ever, growers need to know what they have so they won't spend more money than is necessary.

The new 911 will make its world premiere at the 2011 IAA Frankfurt Auto Show, on September 13. And while the new 911 Carrera looks similar to its 997 predecessor, its a completely new generation of the iconic coupe that has been around since its launch in 1963.
True to the 911 tradition, the unmistakable silhouette catches the eye while incorporating new contours and precisely designed details. The wheelbase is 4" longer for improved stability and greater interior space; front and rear overhangs are shorter, maintaining the compact footprint; the stance is emphasized by the lower roof line and a wider front track increases on-road dynamics.
The rear-mounted, flat-six-cylinder engine is an equally symbolic component of the 911 identity; and behind the rear axle lies an uprated range of powerful and efficient 'boxer' engines.
The 911 Carrera is powered by a new 3.4-liter engine developing 350hp, and the Carrera S features a 400hp version of the familiar 3.8-liter.
These new engines offer performance improvements for both models. The 3.4-liter Carrera with PDK accelerates from 0-62mph in 4.6 sec, 0.1 sec quicker than the prior model. Pressing the Sport Plus button on the optional Sport Chrono Pack cuts that to 4.4 sec.
The 3.8-liter Carrera S with PDK can accelerate from 0- 62 mph in 4.3 sec (Sport Plus 4.1 sec), 0.2sec quicker than its predecessor.
Principle among the innovative steps forwards is the all-new, lightweight body, featuring aluminium-steel composite construction. It is responsible for a significant proportion of the weight reduction of up to 99 lb.
The body structure also delivers greater rigidity, and aerodynamic optimization – including a wider, variably-extending rear spoiler – has reduced lift while retaining an impressive overall drag factor.
In addition to the longer wheelbase, greater agility, precision and stability are also thanks on the wider front track, new rear axle and electro-mechanical power steering.
Depending on the model, there are other standard or optional active control systems available as well that further enhance the driving dynamics. That is especially true for the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active roll stabilization system, available for the first time on the 911 Carrera S.
The familiar athletic appearance of the 911 is given further dynamism with a longer wheelbase, reduced height, and up to 20" diameter wheels. Seen from the front, the eye is drawn to the trademark wide-arched fenders, emphasizing the wider track and making the new 911 Carrera adopt a sporting stance.
The redesigned exterior mirrors are now mounted on the upper edge of the door and not on the mirror triangle as before. Not only is this aerodynamically advantageous, it emphasizes the new design line.
To complement the exterior, the Porsche designers created an interior which takes its cue from the Carrera GT. The driver is now more closely integrated with the cockpit thanks to the center console rising to the front with the high-mounted shift lever located close to the steering wheel in motorsport fashion.
Setting the standard in its class, the new 911 Carrera and Carrera S raise the performance and efficiency standard to new levels. Fuel consumption and emissions of all versions are up to 16 per cent lower compared with its predecessors. Among other things, this is achieved by systems and functions such as auto start/stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, the world's first seven-speed manual transmission and – in conjunction with the PDK – a 'coasting' function that decouples the engine for enhanced fuel efficiency when the throttle is closed.
The new electro-mechanical power steering system also helps reduce fuel consumption. For example, the 911 Carrera with the new 350hp 3.4-liter direct injection engine and optional PDK returns 28.6mpg Combined (US) based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) – 6mpg less than its predecessor. Also, at 194 g/km CO2, it is the first Porsche sports car to sit below 200 g/km CO2.

Trains, NYC Subway Shut Down; Flights Cancelled
Sandy's impending arrival to New Jersey is causing commuter rails and New York subways to close Amtrak to alter its schedule and over 5000 airline flights to be cancelled.
Airlines canceled more than 5,000 flights mostly as a result of Hurricane Sandy, with hubs along the East Coast bearing the brunt of the disruptions.
According to the flight-tracking service FlightAware, 1,100 Sunday flights have been canceled as of Sunday afternoon, with more than 265 cancellations at Newark Airport, a hub of United Airlines.
For Monday, nearly 4,000 flights were canceled, with 857 cancellations at Newark, followed by 632 at New York's Kennedy Airport and more than 500 cancellations at both New York's LaGuardia and Philadelphia International.
FlightAware said it expects the number of flight cancellations for Monday and Tuesday to "rise considerably."
A spokesman for United Airlines parent United Continental Holdings Inc. said the carrier has suspended an unspecified number of flights to New York and Washington-area airports beginning Sunday evening with plans to resume Tuesday as conditions permit.
JetBlue Airways Corp., which flies out of JFK, said it has canceled more than 1,000 flights from Sunday through Wednesday morning.
Amtrak has cancelled Northeast Corridor service on Monday according to WPVI. NJ Transit, PATH and SEPTA trains are all shut down on Monday as well.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered New York City's transit service to suspend bus, subway, and commuter rail service in advance of the massive storm.
Cuomo says the system will be suspended starting at 7 p.m. Sunday.
The city's mass transit system is the nation's largest. The subway alone has a daily ridership of more than 5 million.
Most U.S. airlines -- including American, Delta, JetBlue, Spirit, United and US Airways -- has already issued flexible travel policies that allow fee-free changes for many passengers ticketed to fly to the Northeast and mid-Atlantic during the next few days according to USA Today.

For several years, a great dilemma has surrounded China's drawn-out campaign to open up its financial markets, liberalize capital flows and allow the renminbi (yuan) to become a much more important trade and investment currency on the world stage. The hoped-for benefits are mighty ones, but so are the challenges. Full liberalization would make Beijing the servant and not the master of international monetary fluctuations.
The way of out of this dilemma has now become clearer. China's planned liberalization will be heavily constrained by rules and regulations.
Well aware of the downside of losing the capability to steer their own currency, leading Chinese officials say that the traditional "administered" approach to running the renminbi will be replaced by "macroprudential management." In other words, Beijing will remain firmly in control.
Under what the Beijing authorities call "the new concept of convertibility," China will engineer a much wider use of the renminbi across the global landscape, while continuing to exercise overall stewardship.
The benefit for the Chinese authorities is that "liberalization, Beijing-style" is completely aligned with new thinking at the International Monetary Fund, announced in November 2012, which explicitly approved "capital flow management measures" as part of a fresh approach to international monetary coordination.
The reward that beckons for Beijing is substantial: to rival the status of the dollar and, one day perhaps, to displace it as the No. 1 international currency. Such a prize would allow China to carry out a great variety of transactions in goods, services and capital on more advantageous conditions than at present, adding a sizable dose of economic clout to its sought-after status as a political superpower.
The ultimate goal is to capture part of America's so-called "exorbitant privilege" stemming from the dollar's position as the world's prime reserve asset. This in turn gives the U.S. Treasury, over the longer term, the comfortable ability of being able to fund its deficits via foreign inflows, at much lower rates of interest than most other countries.
Already in the past three years, China has made considerable progress in renminbi internationalization, in terms of increasing the use of the currency for trade flows and in capital raising. Centers like London, Frankfurt and Luxembourg, as well as Hong Kong and Singapore, have now emerged as offshore hubs for renminbi transactions.
Much more is on the way. Beijing will open its onshore capital markets for fund-raising by international companies (as opposed to using Hong Kong, where much international renminbi borrowing has been concentrated so far). More international asset managers are being given quotas for onshore investment in China, while Chinese asset management companies are building plans for expanding their operations abroad.
In contrast to the fraught state of Britain's overall political relations with the rest of the European Union, London and Frankfurt have developed an informal understanding that the two cities will share the main responsibilities in Europe for boosting cross-border use of the renminbi. Underlining the concert approach were the announcements that China Construction Bank will be the official clearing bank for renminbi trading in London and Bank of China will have that role in Frankfurt.
The problem for China is that financial openness, and above all proceeding to full convertibility of the renminbi by completing the liberalization of capital-account transactions, would make the Beijing authorities vulnerable to the possibility of sizable amounts of funds leaving the country.
Further, it would expose China far more than at present to the vagaries of U.S. monetary policy and to waves of foreign speculation of the sort that brought down Asian currencies in the continent's financial crisis of 1997-98. China's leaders do not forget that one reason for the demise of the Nationalist regime of Chiang Kai-shek, and the eventual birth of the Communist People's Republic in 1949, was that in the 1940s China lost control of the currency — a mistake that Beijing's present leaders are determined not to repeat.
Fortunately — and not without considerable persuasive efforts from China and other emerging market economies — the IMF has moved in a direction backing a middle line on capital-account opening. According to the IMF's new policy on capital flows, announced in November 2012, "countries with extensive and long-standing measures to limit capital flows are likely to benefit from further liberalization in an orderly manner. There is, however, no presumption that full liberalization is an appropriate goal for all countries at all times. "
The absence of full capital-account liberalization does not deter an estimated 30 to 40 central banks from around the world from holding significant quantities of renminbi in their foreign reserves. Chinese banks in London and other overseas centers are formulating plans for new renminbi-denominated instruments — including swaps and options, commercial paper, various arrangements for bond trading and collateral, and different forms of investment products.
All this can take place in an overall environment where the Beijing authorities retain, as far as possible, overall control. Internationalization of the renminbi is one of the greatest experiments in economic history — and China is determined to ensure that as little as possible goes wrong.

The timing of a thermographic survey can determine how much of that effort is wasted. Thus, avoid performing one shortly before a planned shutdown. You want to use that shutdown to fix problems you found during the survey, and some repairs may involve significant lead times. Consider some of the resources:
- Outside contractors. You may need a specialized firm to address those hotspots all over the MCC.
- Spare parts. That replacement 2,000A breaker probably isn't going to be lying around on a shelf. It may even have to be built.
- Special equipment. Renting a special test set on short notice may be doable for an extra fee, but renting a crane on short notice is normally not possible.

Asset Flows
Authorities dispute that the ETF, which owns less than 0.01% of all the world's gold, affect the price of the metal. A study last year from the Securities and Exchange Commission looked at the relationship between spot-metal prices and asset flows for funds backed by commodities including silver, gold, platinum, palladium and copper. The study found no evidence that fund flows are related statistically to price changes, according to a Nov. 6 filing from the SEC.
The SPDR Gold Trust, created by the World Gold Council in November 2004, is the biggest ETF tracking the price of the precious metal, with a market value of $50.6 billion. State Street Corp., based in Boston, is the sales and marketing agent for the fund, which is physically backed by gold bars deposited in a London vault. It's one of at least three such U.S.-based ETFs. New York-based BlackRock Inc.'s iShares Gold Trust had a market value of almost $8.9 billion on April 16.
New stock in the ETF is created by banks, brokerages and other financial institutions that are authorized to swap the underlying metal for blocks of ETF shares. The mechanism helps the share price stay close to its net-asset value as investors close the gap between the value of fund shares and gold. The process of redeeming shares works in the opposite way, with the broker taking the physical metal for baskets of shares.
Shares Outstanding
Institutions have stepped up redemptions this year as the selloff accelerated. The ETF's shares outstanding have fallen for the past six days and declined 6.1% to 380.8 million this month, the lowest level since May 2010, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. The ETF hasn't seen an increase in shares since March 19, according to the data.
"If you see the shares outstanding dramatically being reduced, the takeaway there's clearly less demand for gold," Chris Hempstead, director of ETF execution at broker WallachBeth Capital LLC in New York, said by telephone. "What you've seen is in an outflow or an exodus of sorts."
The plunge in gold started on April 2 as the strengthening dollar curbed demand and Societe Generale SA said gold is in a "bubble." The metal, which has advanced every year since 2000, posted a three-day drop of 3%.
Net Long
Speculators held a net-long gold position of 47,164 contracts in the week ended April 2, down 76% from October, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show.
Futures fell 1.8% on April 10, the most in five months, on concern Cyprus will sell the metal. Cypriot authorities committed to sell "the excess amount of gold" owned by the state, yielding an estimated 400 million euros ($522 million), according to a draft of a European Commission report obtained by Bloomberg News.
Concern also grew that the Fed is getting ready to end its program of bond purchases, potentially reducing demand for precious metals as a hedge against inflation. Federal Open Market Committee members "thought that if the outlook for labor market conditions improved as anticipated, it would probably be appropriate to slow purchases later in the year and to stop them by year-end," minutes released on April 10 showed.

Israel's deputy foreign minister, Danny Danon, insisted earlier this week that Jews require permission from no one to pray at Jerusalem's Western Wall, the retaining wall of the Temple Mount that for centuries has been Judaism's holiest site.
At a meeting with Israeli students in Ramallah on Sunday, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas insisted the Palestinians must win control of the eastern half of Jerusalem in order to make peace, but promised to still allow Jews to enter the Old City and pray at the Western Wall.
"We do not need the permission of anyone to pray at the Kotel, certainly not from the Palestinian leadership," an incredulous Danon said later in response. "Jews have prayed, Jews pray, and Jews will pray at the Kotel forever."
In the meeting, which was set up by left-wing Israeli peace movements, Abbas also claimed he had no desire to flood Israel with millions of so-called "Palestinian refugees," even though he continues to make a Palestinian "right of return" a red-line issue in current US-brokered peace talks.

The theme and vision for the 13th Biennial conference was NEW pathways toward community change and transformation.
One aspiration for community psychology has been, and will continue to be, around innovation, particularly toward transformative thinking, strategy, and action. We hope this conference builds upon our traditions while emphasizing new creations, continuing attempts to reflect on and reconsider our values, and ensuring the spirit of innovation never ends.
Our community psychology values provide a guide for all areas of our lives. The structure of our organizations and approaches should "pre-configure" social change. In other words, the way we interact, set policies, and live by our values-whether at home, in our offices, organizations or communities-should model those values and the changes we wish to see in the world. Our daily practices and structures should pre-configure that vision.
Our visions can be diverse. Our struggles toward innovation and transformation will involve paradox. From practice to policy, from academia to action, we can pay particular attention to community assets and yet still pay close attention to the fact that needs truly do exist in communities. We can create better blends of strengths-based and critical approaches. We can focus on structures and systems while paying close attention to individuals. We can fight blaming-the-victim thinking while also helping to strengthen resilience. We can strive for social and environmental justice for all, working on this change in our local and global communities.
As part of our efforts to live by the values we hold, and in our attempt to create new methods, modes of evaluation, and areas of study in community psychology, we can celebrate our values through innovation and transformation.

I had my first taste of bourbon when I was in kindergarten. My great-grandmother Mimi had moved into our sunny one-level, and Dad mixed her a Manhattan almost every night. The blush on her Norwegian cheeks matched the maraschino cherry at the bottom, a glossy sponge for Maker's Mark, vermouth and bitters. Over gin rummy one night I asked for the cherry. She smiled, plucked it out by the delicate stem. It was cold and so sweet on my tongue. The booze was an afterthought, a whisper, but it left an imprint.
To this day I'm a whiskey girl, though I sometimes cheat with gin. I love a good cocktail, but that doesn't mean I haven't slummed with Mad Dog 20/20 and Steel Reserve. I'm friendly with beer, but most of the time I prefer to sip something more complicated, from stiff classics to the frothy, fruity confections on the "girly" menu. A bartender once told me that mango margaritas are like chocolate chip cookies. "Everybody likes cookies," he said. "So have one and don't apologize."
With this column, named for the favorite glass of my favorite liquor, I plan to drink and tell with no apologies. I wanted the launch to be sexy, a chance to wear white leather heels way after Labor Day while dancing on top of a speaker. Instead, I woke up with a nasty cold. Where, I wondered, can a sick girl get a snort?
That's what Mimi called indulging in a drink, and thinking of her made me think of her hot toddies. A little bourbon, a little lemon, a swirl of honey and hot water—everything is right again. The bars I called said they could make one, but none had it on the menu. So Woody and I went to a place brimming with well-worn charm, Crown & Anchor on Tropicana.
Crown's toddy is DIY—a shot of Jameson, a china teapot of hot water, lemon wedges and ketchup-sized packets of Heinz honey ($5.50). I stirred in half the whiskey, a teaspoon of honey and the juice from two wedges. The drink coated my raw throat and opened my sinuses to the balance of spice and sweet and citrus. The medical community frowns on the toddy as a remedy because alcohol dehydrates the body, but mine felt soothed after two doses. Woody enjoyed a creamy Boddingtons, and we played hangman on the paper place mats (he got "Liberace was here" in record time) and tucked into some world-class chicken fingers while the Cowboys wailed on the Bucs.
I felt so restored that we headed to Republic Kitchen & Bar. Co-owner Patrick Haggerty offered to make a traditional toddy with brandy and butter, but the Jack Honey Palmer ($10) caught my eye. In a Collins glass, lemon and mint are muddled under Jack Daniel's and its Tennessee Honey liqueur, with splashes of agave and iced tea. It's a hot toddy without the hot, best chased with Republic's killer deep-fried peanut butter.
The next morning I felt better. Maybe it was the nightcap of vitamin water. Maybe it was the snort. More likely, it was the warm memories of Mimi. Here's to you, you old Viking.
Republic's Jack Honey Palmer
1 oz. Jack Daniel's
1 oz. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey
.25 oz. agave syrup
Splash of iced tea
Fresh mint leaves
Lemon wedge
Method: Muddle mint and a lemon wedge in a Collins glass. Mix whiskey, honey liqueur and agave and shake with ice. Pour into glass and add a splash of iced tea. Garnish with mint and lemon.

DotEmu, a French developer, has announced that they are working on games for Apple's iPhone. The first title should come out in the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2009. Xavier Liard, CEO of DotEmu, says that they especially want to license classic games and bring them to new mobile devices by using emulation technology developed by DotEmu's CTO. Liard says that the iPhone has a great resolution for classic games and believes that there is a classic game for every gamer, even for the casual gamers.
Their first title is Nicky Boom, the classic Amiga platformer already available for other mobile devices. In Nicky Boom you control Nicky, a young boy who's on a journey to save his grandfather who has been cursed by from a witch's spell. He must defend himself by throwing bouncy balls, logs, apple cores and so on. NickyBoom contains eight levels situated in four different themes with a swamp, a dark forest and a castle. DotEmu didn't want to give us details on their other iPhone-games yet, but all games from DotEmu's catalog can be ported to the iPhone.

Training and capacity building
Training activities
Capacity building and training play a key role in INTERPOL's overall mission to enhance international police cooperation. We support police in our member countries, by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and best practices needed to meet today's policing challenges.
In an effort to build an international learning community, we have implemented a number of initiatives aimed at developing knowledge and facilitating cross-border cooperation and capacity building.
Our philosophy is to focus on international cooperation in all of its manifestations, particularly cooperation among institutions (law enforcement agencies) and among individual participants. The ultimate goal is to enhance knowledge and encourage innovation, in order to turn training into operational practice.
Capacity building programmes for National Central Bureaus (NCBs) and law enforcement agencies
INTERPOL's capacity building programmes have a global scope, covering all regions and bringing together officials from NCBs, police forces and a variety of law enforcement agencies (prosecutors, customs, immigration). All programmes are based on improving the knowledge and use of INTERPOL's tools and services, as well as developing, teaching and sharing best practices in international cooperation.
Our programmes are carried out on a regional level, enabling participants to build an invaluable network of contacts for assistance in future investigations. In the Americas, our programmes focus on combatting organized crime and drug trafficking; in the Horn of Africa and Sahel, our programmes focus on counter-terrorism; and in Asia, the focus is on counter-terrorism and the prevention of migrant smuggling. We partner with police training institutions, global law enforcement, academics and subject matter experts to offer the latest specialized information and policing techniques.
Thanks to a train-the-trainer module dedicated to improving teaching and presentation skills, INTERPOL aims to create a sustainable training regime by ensuring that as many trainees as possible are able to transmit what they have learned to colleagues in their home countries.
Training for NCBs
INTERPOL Police Development Programme for NCBs (IPD/NCBs)
This two-week programme is designed to train NCB staff and law enforcement partners on how to use INTERPOL's systems and databases, focusing on regional needs and priorities. It also provides attendees with effective presentation and teaching skills and information security awareness.
INTERPOL Mobile Police Training Programme (IMPTP)
This three-week activity trains officers from NCBs and other law enforcement agencies on how to effectively use INTERPOL's tools and services. It is conducted in different geographical areas, focusing on the different needs of each region, and aims to improve international cooperation. The first four sessions, in Latin America and the Caribbean, were attended by officers from more than 40 countries. The fifth and sixth sessions were conducted in Arabic and benefited 13 Middle Eastern and North African countries.
Specialized crime areas
We develop resources and deliver regular training sessions on individual crime areas and investigative techniques. An online college trains intellectual property crime investigators in the latest procedures, bioterrorism table-top exercises improve the knowledge and ability of investigators to respond to such incidents, and crime scene investigation training covers disciplines from fingerprint and DNA retrieval to evidence preservation.

Facial Mask Philippines: Beauty Routine
Everyone has their own idealized version of beauty. In order to look beautiful, many people invest in a variety of skincare products as well as surgeries and other beauty services. Facials are one of those beauty services that are frequently used by people who are serious about their pursuit of beauty. A facial involves a variety of skin treatments (ranging from exfoliation and extraction to facial masks and massages) that can improve the beauty of your skin as well as mental well being.
While this skincare routine is considered a luxury to some people, facials are really beneficial. This is why we are bringing you one of the most important parts of facials: the facial mask.
Facial Mask Philippines: Unmasking Your Skin's Beauty
The facial mask is made from a variety of ingredients for different purposes. Some are designed to dry and solidify on your face, while others may remain wet. Most masks are removed by either rinsing the face with water, wiping off or peeling off the face. The duration for the masks to be worn varies according with the type of mask and further instructions from the manufacturer. Here are a few examples of the types of face masks that are available in the market:
- Clay Masks: These masks contain clay substances. These types of masks are recommended for people with normal to oily skin as it can deeply cleanse the skin by drawing out impurities to the skin's surface as it dries and tightens.
- Peel-off Masks: These masks come in gel, plastic or paraffin wax subtypes that are not as absorbent as clay masks. These type of masks are great for mature and dry skin as they tighten the skin temporarily and stimulate the blood circulation in our face, rejuvenating the layers of the skin to be more supple.
- Sheet Masks: These masks are made from thin cotton sheets that have been soaked in various hydrating ingredients. They are great for oily and combination skin types as the ingredients used are usually oil-free.
- Cream Masks: These masks contain moisturizing ingredients that would help soften the skin. They are ideal for people with normal to dry skin as they rejuvenate the skin by adding moisture.
- Gel Masks: These masks are usually oil-free and have a gel-like consistency that is hydrating, which makes them great for people with dry or sensitive skin. These masks are naturally cold, which makes them ideal for soothing the skin.

To set up rutorrent, we will need to have rtorrent and lighttpd set up.
Revision as of 23:02, 9 September 2012
Rutorrent is a php frontend to the rtorrent bitorrent client.
It communicates with rtorrent using XML-RPC. It requires a web server such as lighttpd or apache to serve it's pages.
To set up rutorrent, we will need to have rtorrent and lighttpd set up.
Install rtorrent and configure to your liking.
# pacman -S rtorrent
Information on configuring rtorrent can be found on it's wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rtorrent.
rtorrent in the repos should be compiled with XML-RPC support.
Add the following line to your rtorrent config file, usually ~/.rtorrent.rc.
scgi_port = localhost:5050
Instead of using a tcp port, it is also possible to use a socket using the scgi_local option instead. This did not work for me, as lighttpd complained about permissions regardless of permissions / location of socket file.
You can choose a port other than 5050 if you like.
Install lighthttp and php.
# pacman -S lighttpd php
Information on setting up lighthttp can be found on it's wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lighttpd
After starting lighthttp as per the wiki, you should be able to access the test page at http://localhost:80.
By default the pages are served from /srv/http, this is where we will be putting rutorrent.
Edit lighthttpd's config file, /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.
The following lines tell lighttpd to load the fastcgi and simple-cgi modules. Fast cgi is needed for rutorrent itself, and scgi for rutorrent to communicate with rtorrent.
server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" ) server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
We need to tell lighttpd how to treat files like css, images (jpg etc.), js. Otherwise it will not know what to do with them, and you may get a dialog to download the file or rutorrent will just not work properly.
Here is a long list of filetypes, it is probably overkill as most of them are not needed, but easier to cover them all.
Add this to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf also.
mimetype.assign = ( ".rpm" => "application/x-rpm", ".pdf" => "application/pdf", ".sig" => "application/pgp-signature", ".spl" => "application/futuresplash", ".class" => "application/octet-stream", ".ps" => "application/postscript", ".torrent" => "application/x-bittorrent", ".dvi" => "application/x-dvi", ".gz" => "application/x-gzip", ".pac" => "application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig", ".swf" => "application/x-shockwave-flash", ".tar.gz" => "application/x-tgz", ".tgz" => "application/x-tgz", ".tar" => "application/x-tar", ".zip" => "application/zip", ".mp3" => "audio/mpeg", ".m3u" => "audio/x-mpegurl", ".wma" => "audio/x-ms-wma", ".wax" => "audio/x-ms-wax", ".ogg" => "application/ogg", ".wav" => "audio/x-wav", ".gif" => "image/gif", ".jar" => "application/x-java-archive", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".jpeg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png", ".xbm" => "image/x-xbitmap", ".xpm" => "image/x-xpixmap", ".xwd" => "image/x-xwindowdump", ".css" => "text/css", ".html" => "text/html", ".htm" => "text/html", ".js" => "text/javascript", ".asc" => "text/plain", ".c" => "text/plain", ".cpp" => "text/plain", ".log" => "text/plain", ".conf" => "text/plain", ".text" => "text/plain", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".dtd" => "text/xml", ".xml" => "text/xml", ".mpeg" => "video/mpeg", ".mpg" => "video/mpeg", ".mov" => "video/quicktime", ".qt" => "video/quicktime", ".avi" => "video/x-msvideo", ".asf" => "video/x-ms-asf", ".asx" => "video/x-ms-asf", ".wmv" => "video/x-ms-wmv", ".bz2" => "application/x-bzip", ".tbz" => "application/x-bzip-compressed-tar", ".tar.bz2" => "application/x-bzip-compressed-tar", # default mime type "" => "application/octet-stream", )
Next we add the configuration for scgi to connect to rtorrent. Make sure to use the same port as when configuring rtorrent.
scgi.server = ( "/RPC2" => ( "127.0.0.1" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 5050, "check-local" => "disable" ) ) )
And finally the fastcgi settings so lighthttpd knows how to deal with php.
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => (( "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi", "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket" )))
At this point, you should be able to test if rtorrent and lighttpd's scgi are working properly using the xmlrpc command to ask rtorrent for a list of functions. ( See http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide#Usage ).
$ xmlrpc localhost system.listMethods
This should output a log list of methods that can be accessed through rtorrent's scgi interface. If it doesn't then something may be wrong.
We need to make a small change to the open_basedir line in /etc/php/php.ini, to allow rutorrent to access the binaries it needs to run.
open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/bin/
The binaries are stat, id, php, curl, gzip. If these are installed somewhere other than /usr/bin, then you may need to append that line also.
We will download rutorrent to lighttpd http directory.
# cd /srv/http # wget http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/files/rutorrent-3.4.tar.gz # tar xvfx rutorrent-3.4.tar.gz # rm rutorrent-3.4.tar.gz
These should download and extract rutorrent to /srv/http. You may need to change rutorrent-3.4 to the desired version from the rutorrent website.
rutorrent's config files are in /srv/http/rutorrent/conf/.
We need to edit /srv/http/rutorrent/conf/config.php, and change the port to the one we used in rtorrent and lighttpd.
$scgi_port = 5050; $scgi_host = "127.0.0.1";
Change the owner of the rutorrent to http (the user that lighttpd runs as by default).
# chown -R http rutorrent
rutorrent should now be set up.
Start rtorrent, and restart lighttpd if you have not done so since changing the configuration.
You should now be able to access the rutorrent interface on localhost or 127.0.0.1 on port 80 (assuming you did not change the default port for lighttpd).
For problems with rutorrent or lighttpd, the best place to check first is probably the lighttpd log files, in /var/log/lighttpd/. Particularly error.log.
$ tail /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

Move below the cute kitten photos to proceed...
Okay, enough of that. Here's that big hint. For simplicity, I'll assume 8 (not 100) prisoners and 4 (not 50) hats. I show two sequences: one which wins, the other which loses.
The winning sequence:
4, 6, 3, 0, 2, 1, 5, 7
The losing sequence:
4, 2, 3, 0, 1, 6, 5, 7
These sequences are permutations: various orderings of the same elements. The key insight is that these permutations descibe loops. The probability distribution of the length of a loop associated with a random element is unifrom from one to the number of elements in the set. So for 100 prisoners, if I pick a given hat, then follow the sequence as shown, I will end up back at that hat in from one to 100 steps, each with equal probability. Complete the loop and you've found your number. If your loop has a length no more than half the number of elements, you win, or else you lose. If you win, because your loop is short enough, then everyone else in the same loop will win. And if you lose because your loop is too long, then everyone else in the loop will lose.
This is why the solution is like a weighted coin: you don't know if it's rigged to come up heads or tails, so the first flip is 50-50 chance of a win. But if you commit to picking either heads or tails every time, if you luck out and guess right on the first flip, every successive flip is in your favor. Same with the prisoners. If the loops are all length less than half the total, then every prisoner wins. If any loop is more than half, then every prisoner on that long loop will fail. It's impossible that less than half the prisoners will fail except that no prisoner fails.
So what's the probability of success? Consider the limit of a large number of prisoners. The first prisoner has the probability 50% of success. If he succeeds, then the length of his loop has any value from 0 to 50% the number of prisoners with equal probability. Eventually a prisoner will pick a hat which is in a different loop. The probability of success for that loop is better, since there's fewer remaining hats after the first loop, and the maximum length of the loop is still half of all of the hats together. Simple analysis shows the second loop has a 75% chance of success.
My fellow Caltrain passenger explains the theoretical chance of failure, in the limit of an infinite number of prisoners, is the natural logarithm of two, or 69.3%. That leaves a 30.7% chance for success. My 100 thousand trials had had a 29.919% success rate, with a standard error of 0.45%.
So I didn't explicitly describe the solution, but it should be fairly obvious from the diagrams.
