Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (BAC) said Monday it has "refreshed" its views on the U.S. and global economy for 2014, sharing a mix of slightly good and bad news with investors.
For the first quarter of next year, it expects economic growth of 2.5%, down from its earlier forecast of 2.8%.
The reason? A lack of stronger momentum in recent data, explains economist Ethan Harris.
For the full-year 2014, it's trimmed its estimate for GDP growth to 2.6% from 2.7%.
But the group remains optimistic, citing "fading" fiscal headwinds that "can be stopped through balance sheet repair." Plus, says BofA, that repair process is "well advanced," which sets the stage for both stronger growth and low inflation.
"Inflation is likely to remain stuck close to 1% for an extended period of time," Harris wrote. "Global pressures have faded as commodity markets cool and emerging markets slow down. There is abundant spare capacity in the U.S. and globally."
Super-Slow Fed, Global Growth
Citing low inflation, BofA experts believe the Fed's quantitative easing program is likely to slow down at a tepid pace.
"We now think tapering is slightly more likely to start in March rather than January. We think QE will not end until December [2014]," explained the economist.
Moreover, the group doesn't see the first hike in interest rates coming until the first quarter of 2016.
"We are similarly optimistic on the global outlook," Harris said. The bank expects "trend-like growth in 2014 as Europe slowly exits its recession and as the global manufacturing cycle picks up. As in the U.S., inflation is likely to remain quite subdued."
As for how inflation can drop as growth rises, he notes that inflation "normally doesn't accelerate until growth has been strong enough for long enough to create capacity pressure. Indeed, at the beginning of economic recoveries, inflation tends to fall even though growth is very strong."
Furthermore, in the current cycle, structural headwinds and policy shocks have "delayed a normal recovery," says Harris. "Hence, four years into the recovery, there is still spare capacity and disinflationary pressure."

Forty-seven; see List of species.
Seahorse is the title given to forty-seven species of marine fish in the genus Hippocampus. "Hippocampus" comes from the Ancient Greek hippos meaning "horse" and kampos meaning "sea monster".[2]
Seahorses are mainly found in shallow tropical and temperate waters throughout the world, and prefer to live in sheltered areas such as seagrass beds, estuaries, coral reefs, or mangroves. In Pacific waters from North America to South America there are approximately four species. In the Atlantic, the H. erectus ranges from Nova Scotia to Uruguay. H. zosterae, known as the dwarf seahorse, is found in the Bahamas.
Colonies have been found in European waters such as the Thames Estuary.[3]
Three species live in the Mediterranean Sea: H. guttulatus (the long-snouted seahorse), H. hippocampus (the short-snouted seahorse) and H. fuscus (the sea pony). These species form territories; males stay within 1 square meter (11 sq ft) of their habitat while females range about one hundred times that.
Seahorses range in size from 0.6 to 14 in.[4] They are named for their equine appearance. Although they are bony fish, they do not have scales but rather thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates, which are arranged in rings throughout their body. Each species has a distinct number of rings. Seahorses swim upright, another characteristic that is not shared by their close pipefish relatives, who swim horizontally. Unusual among fish, seahorses have a flexible, well-defined neck. They also sport a coronet on the head, which is distinct for each individual.
According to Guinness World Records 2009, H. zosterae (the dwarf seahorse) is the slowest moving fish, with a top speed of about 5 feet (150 cm) per hour.[5] They swim very poorly, rapidly fluttering a dorsal fin and using pectoral fins (located behind their eyes) to steer. Seahorses have no caudal fin. Since they are poor swimmers, they are most likely to be found resting with their prehensile tails wound around a stationary object. They have long snouts, which they use to suck up food, and eyes that can move independently of each other (like a chameleon).
Anatomical evidence, supported by molecular, physical, and genetic evidence, demonstrates that seahorses are highly modified pipefish. The fossil record of seahorses, however, is very sparse. The best known and best studied fossils are specimens of H. guttulatus (though literature more commonly refers to them under the synonym of H. ramulosus), from the Marecchia River Formation of Rimini Province, Italy, dating back to the Lower Pliocene, about 3 million years ago. The earliest known seahorse fossils are of two pipefish-like species, H. sarmaticus and H. slovenicus from the coprolitic horizon of Tunjice Hills, a middle Miocene lagerstätte in Slovenia dating back about 13 million years.[6] Molecular dating finds that pipefish and seahorses separated during the Late Oligocene. This has led to speculation that seahorses evolved in response to large areas of shallow-water, newly created as the result of tectonic events. The shallow water allowed the expansion of seagrass habitats that selected for the camouflage offered by the seahorses' upright posture.[7] These tectonic changes occurred in the Western Pacific Ocean suggesting an origin there with molecular data suggesting two later and separate invasions of the Atlantic Ocean.[8]
The male seahorse is equipped with a brood pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed, but very small. Once the seahorses are released into the water, the male's role is done and he offers no further care.[9]
Before breeding, seahorses court for several days. Scientists believe the courtship behavior synchronizes the animals' movements so that the male can receive the eggs when the female is ready to deposit them. During this time they may change color, swim side by side holding tails or grip the same strand of sea grass with their tails and wheel around in unison in what is known as a "pre-dawn dance". They eventually engage in a "true courtship dance" lasting about 8 hours, during which the male pumps water through the egg pouch on his trunk which expands and opens to display its emptiness. When the female's eggs reach maturity, she and her mate let go of any anchors and snout-to-snout, drift upward out of the seagrass, often spiraling as they rise. The female inserts her ovipositor into the male's brood pouch and deposits dozens to thousands of eggs. As the female releases her eggs, her body slims while his swells. Both animals then sink back into the seagrass and she swims away.
The male releases his sperm directly into seawater where it fertilizes the eggs,[10] which are then embedded in the pouch wall and become surrounded by a spongy tissue.[11] The male supplies the eggs with prolactin, the same hormone responsible for milk production in pregnant mammals. The pouch provides oxygen as well as a controlled environment incubator. The eggs then hatch in the pouch where the salinity of the water is regulated; this prepares the newborns for life in the sea.[12][13] Throughout gestation, which in most species requires two to four weeks, his mate visits him daily for "morning greetings". They interact for about 6 minutes, reminiscent of courtship. The female then swims away until the next morning, and the male returns to vacuuming up food through his snout.[12]
Research published in 2007 indicates the male releases sperm into the surrounding sea water during fertilization, and not directly into the pouch as previously thought.[14]
The number of young released by the male seahorse averages 100–200 for most species, but may be as low as 5 for the smaller species, or as high as 1,500. When the fry are ready to be born, the male expels them with muscular contractions. He typically gives birth at night and is ready for the next batch of eggs by morning when his mate returns. Like almost all other fish species, seahorses do not nurture their young after birth. Infants are susceptible to predators or ocean currents which wash them away from feeding grounds or into temperatures too extreme for their delicate bodies. Less than 0.5% of infants survive to adulthood, explaining why litters are so large. These survival rates are actually fairly high compared to other fish, because of their protected gestation, making the process worth the great cost to the father. The eggs of most other fish are abandoned immediately after fertilization.[13]
Reproduction is energetically costly to the male. This brings into question why the sexual role reversal even takes place. In an environment where one partner incurs more energy costs than the other, Bateman's principle suggests that the lesser contributor takes the role of the aggressor. Male seahorses are more aggressive and sometimes "fight" for female attention. According to Amanda Vincent of Project Seahorse, only males tail-wrestle and snap their heads at each other. This discovery prompted further study of energy costs. To estimate the female's direct contribution, researcher Heather D. Masonjones, associate professor of biology at the University of Tampa, chemically analyzed the energy stored in each egg. To measure the burden on the male, Masonjones measured its oxygen consumption. By the end of incubation, the male consumed almost 33% more oxygen than before mating. The study concluded that the female's energy expenditure while generating eggs is twice that of males during incubation[12] confirming the standard hypothesis.
Why the male seahorse (and other members of Syngnathidae) carries the offspring through gestation is unknown, though some researchers[citation needed] believe it allows for shorter birthing intervals, in turn resulting in more offspring. Given an unlimited number of ready and willing partners, males have the potential to produce 17 percent more offspring than females in a breeding season. Also, females have "time-outs" from the reproductive cycle that are 1.2 times longer than those of males. This seems to be based on mate choice, rather than physiology. When the female's eggs are ready, she must lay them in a few hours or eject them into the water column. Making eggs is a huge cost to her physically, since they amount to about a third of her body weight. To protect against losing a clutch, the female demands a long courtship. The daily greetings help to cement the bond between the pair.
One common misconception about seahorses is that they mate for life. Many species of seahorses form pair bonds that last through at least the breeding season. Some species show a higher level of mate fidelity than others.[15][16] However, many species readily switch mates when the opportunity arises. H. abdominalis and H. breviceps have been shown to breed in groups, showing no continuous mate preference. Many more species mating habits have not been studied, so it is unknown how many species are actually monogamous, or how long those bonds actually last.[17]
Although monogamy within fish is not common, it does appear to exist for some. In this case, the mate guarding hypothesis may be an explanation. This hypothesis states "males remain with a single female because of ecological factors that make male parental care and protection of offspring especially advantageous."[18] Because the rates of survival for newborn seahorses are so low, incubation is essential. Though not proven, males could have taken on this role because of the lengthy period the females require to produce their eggs. If males incubate while females prepare the next clutch (amounting to 1/3 of body weight), they can reduce the interval between clutches.
Seahorses feed on small crustaceans floating in the water or crawling on the bottom. With excellent camouflage and a lot of patience, seahorses ambush prey that float within striking range. Mysid shrimp and other small crustaceans are favorites, but some seahorses have been observed eating other kinds of invertebrates and even larval fish. While feeding they produce a distinctive click each time a food item is ingested. The same clicks are heard with social interactions.
Many seahorse species are data deficient, and there is insufficient information to make an assessment about their risk of extinction. Because the seahorse population is unknown, there is a risk of losing more seahorses because of the lack of information about how many are dying each year, how many are being born, the number used for souvenirs, etc. Coral reefs and seagrass beds are deteriorating, reducing viable habitats for seahorses.[19]
While many aquarium hobbyists keep seahorses as pets, seahorses collected from the wild tend to fare poorly in home aquaria. Many eat only live foods such as brine shrimp and are prone to stress, which damages their immune systems and makes them susceptible to disease.
In recent years, however, captive breeding has become more popular. Such seahorses survive better in captivity, and are less likely to carry diseases. They eat frozen mysidacea (crustaceans) that are readily available from aquarium stores,[20] and do not experience the stress of moving out of the wild. Although captive-bred seahorses are more expensive, they take no toll on wild populations.
Seahorses should be kept in an aquarium to themselves, or with compatible tank-mates. Seahorses are slow feeders, so fast, aggressive feeders will leave them without food.[20]
Seahorses can co-exist with many species of shrimp and other bottom-feeding creatures. Gobies also make good tank-mates. Keepers are generally advised to avoid eels, tangs, triggerfish, squid, octopus, and sea anemones.[21]
Animals sold as "freshwater seahorses" are usually the closely related pipefish, of which a few species live in the lower reaches of rivers. The supposed true "freshwater seahorse" called H. aimei was not a real species, but a name sometimes used for Barbour's and Hedgehog seahorses. The latter is a species that can be found in brackish waters, but not actually a freshwater fish.[22]
Seahorse populations are thought to have been endangered in recent years by overfishing and habitat destruction. The seahorse is used in traditional Chinese herbology, and as many as 20 million seahorses may be caught each year and sold for this purpose.[23] Medicinal seahorses are not readily bred in captivity as they are susceptible to disease, and it is believed that they have different medicinal properties from aquarium seahorses. Seahorses are also used as medicines by the Indonesians, the Central Filipinos, and many other ethnic groups.
Import and export of seahorses has been controlled under CITES since May 15, 2004. However, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, and South Korea have chosen to opt out of the trade rules set by CITES.
The problem may be exacerbated by the growth of pills and capsules as the preferred method of ingesting medication. They are cheaper and more available than traditional, individually-tailored prescriptions of raw medicinals, but the contents are harder to track. Seahorses once had to be of a certain size and quality before they were accepted by TCM practitioners and consumers. Declining availability of the preferred large, pale and smooth seahorses has been offset by the shift towards prepackaged medicines, which make it possible for TCM merchants to sell previously unused juvenile, spiny and dark-coloured animals. Today almost a third of the seahorses sold in China are prepackaged, adding to the pressure on the species.[24]
Pygmy seahorses are less than 15 millimeters (0.59 in) tall and 17 millimeters (0.67 in) wide members of the genus. Previously the term was applied exclusively to the species H. bargibanti but since 1997, discoveries have made this term obsolete. The species H. minotaur, H. denise, H. colemani, H. pontohi, H. severnsi and H. satomiae have been described. Other species that are believed to be unclassified have also been reported in books, dive magazines and on the Internet. They can be distinguished from other species of seahorse by their 12 trunk rings, low number of tail rings (26–29), the location in which young are brooded in the trunk region of males and their extremely small size.[25] Molecular analysis (of ribosomal RNA) of 32 Hippocampus species found that H. bargibanti belongs in a separate clade from other members of the genus and therefore that the species diverged from the other species in the "ancient" past.[26]
Most pygmy seahorses are well camouflaged and live in close association with other organisms including colonial hydrozoans (Lytocarpus and Antennellopsis), coralline algae (Halimeda) sea fans (Muricella, Annella, Acanthogorgia). This combined with their small size accounts for why most species have only been noticed and classified since 2001.[25][27]

I'm sure there's lot's of extremely interesting stuff that goes on during the development of any smartphone or tablet made by some of the biggest companies out there; unfortunately, these companies are often extremely secretive about what they're working on, and it's tough to get a good behind-the-scene look at how these devices are made. Fortunately for us, Notion Ink, the company behind the original Adam tablet, has opened up development blog to give us a glimpse into their work on the upcoming Adam 2.
We know nothing yet of the Adam 2's external design, but Notion Ink previously confirmed that it would be using the TI OMAP 44xx platform, a PowerVR SGX 5xx CPU, and will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Thanks to the development blog, which is titled simply enough "Designing Adam 2", we've been able to narrow down those X's — The Adam 2 will use the dual-core OMAP 4470 SoC with PowerVR SGX 544 GPU.
There are only a few posts on the development blog so far, but the latest post shows us something very interesting that Notion Ink is working on. It seems the company is working to create automated infographics which will summarize information on your Adam 2 and show it to you visually. Here's a piece of concept art which shows info about your email (where it's coming from, how frequently it's received, etc.):
Notion Ink has also posted about why they've chosen the OMAP platform, which is an interesting read because the Adam 2 is based on TI's OMAP while the original was based on Nvidia's Tegra 2.
The 'About' page for the blog says "Follow us if you want to be a part in designing Adam 2 and to learn how to design one!" so it sounds as though they'll be happy to receive comments. If you're an original Adam owner, now might be a good time to give them your suggestions!
We'll be keeping our eye on Notion Ink's Adam 2 development blog and let you know if anything else exciting pops up.

Obama's day: Congress and the Olympics
President Obama has a string of meetings Thursday, with guest lists ranging from congressional leaders to Olympic athletes.
The president may also speak again on Wednesday's deadly shootings at Fort Hood, Texas.
As the schedule now stands, the president and first lady Michelle Obama host a mid-afternoon event for teams and delegations from the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
Russia will also the topic of an early evening meeting with Vice President Biden and House and Senate leaders from both parties.
Obama will discuss his recent trip to Europe and efforts to sanction Russia over its annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine, the White House says.
Also on Thursday, Obama signs the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act into law.
The new law repeals taxpayer financing of political conventions, and uses $126 million over ten years for research into pediatric cancer and other childhood disorders like autism and down syndrome.

Why the graphic novel belongs in the classroom
A young girl, a primary grade-schooler with a well-worn library card, was enthusiastically reading a riveting memoir when a stern tone descended upon her.
"What is that?" the teacher asked/accused.
"It's a graphic novel," came the girl's reply.
Such works, the girl was told, were unacceptable for classroom "reading time," let alone for a book report. The teacher's sharp ruling boiled down to a four-word excuse for banishment:
"Graphic. Novels. Aren't. Books."
Here we go again .
Two decades after Art Spiegelman's landmark Holocaust graphic novel "Maus" won the Pulitzer Prize and helped stake a fresh claim for comics as literature - paving the way for the appreciation of such works as "Persepolis" and "Blankets" and "American Born Chinese" - do a significant number of teachers and administrators remain mired in such backward thinking?
Unfortunately, my rhetoric is rhetorical. These curricular "world-is-flat'ers" are still thick on our school grounds. But it's time for the culture's tectonic plates to more rapidly force a shift in academic thought.
As we step into 2014, this lingering bias in curriculum needs to cease. We urge the least enlightened of our educators to catch up with the rest of the class. And to make our case, let us present Exhibit A:
The young girl who faced that rebuke of illustrated books is a relative of mine. And that book (ahem) in question was "Stitches: A Memoir," acclaimed author David Small's poignant personal story of a dysfunctional childhood home - including his adolescent battle with throat cancer, which may have been caused by his doctor-father's early over-embrace of X-ray radiation. In Small's masterful prose and liquid pictures, we vividly experience the voiceless boy-patient's raw emotions.
Even four years ago, quite a few people would have begged to differ with that grade-school teacher. "Stitches" climbed the bestseller list of the New York Times, which deemed the book worthy of review; was named one of the best books of the year by such outlets as Publishers Weekly; and was a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award for young people's literature. No less than Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist/author/playwright/screenwriter Jules Feiffer said aptly of Small's masterpiece: "It left me speechless."
Of the teacher's wrong-headed thinking, I was left speechless. Her decision was not a mere judgment against one book, but an ignorant indictment of all graphic novels. As blanket criticism, it was unabashedly threadbare.
Consider my commentary here, then, to be a criticism of that criticism. Because what the larger academic problem calls for is not damnation, but persuasion. A struck match. Into Plato's cave, let us bring truer illumination.
What follows is not some broad indictment of modern American education. I was born into a brood of teachers - the family crest might as well be a chalkboard - and I deeply value what too often is one of the nation's more thankless and underpaid cornerstone careers. Plus, as an artist who has spoken to thousands of impressive educators, I applaud those who thoughtfully and passionately help inform and shape young minds while keeping an open mind themselves. On this front, so many of them "get" it.
What this essay is, at heart, is an extended hand in the name of better understanding, especially as our schools are filled with so-called "reluctant readers" and other struggling learners. We face an educational imperative: Why not use every effective teaching tool at our disposal? Decades of studies have shown the power of visual learning as an effective scholastic technique. We know that comics - the marriage of word and picture in a dynamic relationship that fires synapses across the brain - can be a bridge to literacy and a path to learning. Armed with that knowledge, the last thing we need blocking that footbridge is the Reluctant Teacher.

Hot Spots: The case for unified data management platforms
A unified data management and recovery platform can improve performance, decrease complexity and costs, and make all copies of data more useful and accessible for electronic discovery purposes
|Consolidating your data protection platforms and practices should be at the top of your 2008 to-do list.
Factors driving convergence
Today, the financial viability of leveraging disk within a data protection schema is driving change. Disk alleviates the burden on the backup/recovery window by creating performance and reliability efficiencies in backup and, more importantly, recovery. Recovery-centric strategies that offer combinations of backup, replication, snapshot and continuous-capture technologies are emerging. The lower cost of disk, coupled with legal discovery and regulatory mandates, has helped to increase the interest in disk-based digital archiving, data classification, index and search. Bandwidth has also become more affordable for many organizations, so moving data between sites--whether for consolidating backups from remote sites or storing replicas at secondary locations for disaster recovery (DR)--has become more practical.
|It makes sense that technologies that promise to reduce the volume of data transferred and stored (through data deduplication and single-instance storage) are becoming more popular. A recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) study found that only 10% of organizations surveyed use single instancing and 16% use block-level data deduplication; however, 44% plan to use single-instance storage in the future and 32% say the same for block-level data deduplication.
Due to recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), organizations are under increasing pressure to manage and retrieve data more effectively. Companies need to be prepared for electronic discovery by knowing what content is stored and how much effort is required to recover it, as well as how to properly preserve and produce the content as evidence in litigation events. Today, archiving software can make it easier and faster to retrieve data. Archive solutions also provide the capability to set and enforce retention times, which facilitates compliance with record-retention and legal preservation requirements.
It's important to note that many of the data management solutions are merging data protection technologies with archiving. Through a single management interface, organizations can dictate policies for data sets that define RTO, RPO (i.e., frequency of copies), retention, capacity reduction, security, disposal and more.
|Users crave consolidated data management
A sound data protection strategy depends on the optimal recovery of data. The inability to recover data rapidly--or at all--can translate into financial losses and possibly impact operational, customer service and compliance objectives. Too often, IT organizations are focused solely on the backup component of a data protection strategy or are content to rely on what's comfortable, even if it's not ideal. To their detriment, these organizations continue to execute data protection strategies that will fail when recovering data. For example, many IT organizations have treated backup, DR and archiving as separate activities (each with its own requirements and solutions) or have used tape backup as a cheap (but not always appropriate) solution for all three.
Employing a mix of traditional and emerging technologies to satisfy different levels of downtime and data loss tolerance is a popular approach. But there are drawbacks to procuring, installing and managing multiple point solutions. With multiple point solutions from a variety of vendors, there's more than one management interface, policy engine and client-side agent to learn and use. Systems don't share storage resources or integrate with each other. This results in multiple copies of data to store and manage, more complexity and greater management overhead.
Best-of-breed strategies are often adopted to meet specific needs. For some organizations, the potential management headache is tolerable because they're getting a more robust feature set or more responsiveness to their requirements from individual vendors. The need to distribute risk also causes IT to select products from multiple vendors.
ESG research found that more organizations would like to consolidate data management. Eighty percent of respondents are more likely to standardize on one vendor for all aspects of the data protection process rather than implement best-of-breed solutions from multiple vendors. The vendor they would most likely use to support all of their data protection processes is their backup software vendor.
|There are a number of significant benefits to unifying these functions into a data management platform:
|Unified approaches a reality
The emergence of unified data management platforms is well underway. Several backup vendors have developed fully integrated, multifunction products and many others are federating point solutions (mainly through acquisition and integration) by delivering unified agents, policy engines, and common services and storage repositories.
Most storage vendors are combining multiple data protection solutions in their portfolio. Better yet, several vendors offer a single, more complete, integrated product. For example, vendors such as CommVault, EMC, Hewlett-Packard and IBM offer integrated backup and archiving. BakBone Software, CA and CommVault brought backup and replication together. Implementing continuous capture as a feature of backup is available with Asigra, CommVault and Symantec. Similarly, several vendors--including Asigra, CommVault, EMC, EVault (a Seagate company), IBM and Symantec--offer data deduplication as a feature of backup.
Data management technology will continue to mature and evolve. Governance, risk and compliance mandates will continue to dictate how IT organizations deal with their data. The convergence trend going on today is contributing improvements to data protection and management. With functional solutions being tightly integrated into unified data management platforms, IT organizations are benefiting from better recovery objectives, less complexity and potentially lower management costs.

Trout with Mushrooms
A mild lemon sauce accented by fresh mushrooms complements these tender trout fillets from Kathy Kittell of Lenexa, Kansas. "When fish is on sale, I buy plenty to serve to my large brood, because it always gets eaten up right away," she notes.
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 trout fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1. In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in parsley. Remove mushrooms to a serving platter; keep warm. Combine flour and salt in a shallow dish; coat fillets with flour mixture on both sides. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Cook trout over medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork; arrange over mushrooms.
- 2. For sauce, melt remaining butter in a small saucepan. Gradually stir in cream and lemon juice. Bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Serve over trout and mushrooms.

I wasn't sure if I cooked the sauce correctly, as it didn't seem thickened while I poured on fillets. However, the taste was out of this world. I served with asparagus and a baked potato. It was easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing!!

Stevens Signs Memorandum of Understanding with INCOSE for Collaborative Research on Systems Engineering Professional Certification Data
On April 7, 2014, Stevens Institute of Technology, the legal entity that manages the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), a Department of Defense sponsored University Affiliated Research Center, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) to conduct research that the SERC's Helix project and INCOSE will jointly perform on the data collected from the INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional Certification Program (SEP).
Stevens and INCOSE have long shared a mutual commitment to support and accelerate knowledge growth in the systems arena, and earlier, on April 5, 2014, the two organizations signed a strategic agreement to promote collaborative and joint activities in systems-related research, education, and knowledge creation and dissemination.
Barbara DeHaven, Executive Director, Office of Sponsored Programs at Stevens, and David Long, President, INCOSE, signed the Helix-INCOSE MOU, a MOU that reflects the salient points that Stevens and INCOSE have established in the strategic agreement. Designed to create a mutually beneficial framework for both organizations, the goal of the MOU is to facilitate and nurture the best systems engineering principles and practices.
Through the joint initiative, SERC will gather data that supports the research objective of the Helix project – to understand the landscape of the systems engineering workforce, and INCOSE will obtain recommendations and counsel on the application data that is collected from the SEP certification program – an INCOSE certification that attests the knowledge and competence of systems engineers globally.
"We all look forward to realizing the benefits from a broad partnership between INCOSE and the SERC. The SERC is the premier academic systems engineering research entity in the US. INCOSE is the world's premier professional society for systems engineering, with more than 9,000 members globally. Our joint efforts on Helix are just the beginning. We anticipate additional joint research and events starting later in 2014 and continuing for many years," said Dr. Art Pyster, Chief Operating Officer, SERC and Distinguished Research Professor in the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens.
"We are honored to enter into this important leadership partnership with Stevens," noted David Long, president of INCOSE. "We are convinced that what we all learn from the research done by the SERC through the Helix project will provide valuable insights as we continue to develop and disseminate the best practices of Systems Engineering. It is fitting that this partnership is confirmed on the cusp of INCOSE's 25th Anniversary year, a good point from which to reflect and to look forward."

Japan's benchmark stock index tumbled Monday after a central bank survey showed a smaller-than-expected improvement in business sentiment.
The Tankan index for the March quarter rose to minus 8 from minus 12 in December, a smaller improvement than analysts had anticipated. A reading below zero means pessimists outnumber optimists.
The Nikkei 225 index in Tokyo declined 2.1 percent to 12,135.01. South Korea's Kospi fell 0.4 percent to 1,995.99. Benchmarks in Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines also fell.
Wall Street, reopening later Monday after a three-day holiday, looked set for losses. Dow Jones industrial futures fell 0.1 percent to 14,481 and S&P 500 futures fell 0.2 percent to 1,559.80. Investors are waiting for the release of U.S. manufacturing figures for March and construction spending for February.
Markets in mainland China were mixed after an industry group released a survey showing an increase in manufacturing growth in March. Despite the improvement in factory output, analysts said investors remained worried about a possible property bubble, inflation and what policies the new Chinese government might have in store.
"Faced with the fear of the unknown, investors both domestic and foreign are very cautious and preferring other markets where there is less risk," said Andrew Sullivan of Kim Eng Securities in Hong Kong.
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.1 percent to 2,234.40. The Shenzhen Composite Index rose 0.6 percent to 933.69. Markets in Australia and Hong Kong were closed for an extended Easter weekend holiday.
Among individual stocks, Tokyo Electric Power Co. jumped 4.3 percent after the utility announced it will join Hitachi Ltd. to set up a new company to export electricity systems, Kyodo News said.
Stock markets in Europe were closed Friday for the holiday and remain so on Monday. It will not be until Tuesday that investors will see how markets react to events in Cyprus, where banks reopened Thursday for the first time in nearly two weeks.
As part of a bailout deal, Cyprus agreed to seize funds from big depositors. Banks have been closed to avoid a rush of withdrawals.
Big depositors at Cyprus' largest bank may be forced to accept losses of up to 60 percent, far more than initially estimated under the European rescue package to save the country from bankruptcy, officials said Saturday.
The move drew immediate criticism, with some analysts saying that imposing bigger losses on Bank of Cyprus customers could further squeeze already crippled businesses as Cyprus tries to rebuild its banking sector in exchange for the international rescue package.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was down 44 cents to $96.79 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained 65 cents to close at $97.23 a barrel on the Nymex on Thursday. The market was closed Friday for the holiday.
In currencies, the euro fell to $1.2815 from $1.2822 late Thursday in New York. The dollar fell to 93.56 yen from 94.13 yen.

JP Duminy and Vernon Philander led South Africa's recovery from 54 for four to 262 for seven at stumps on the first day of the third Test against England at Lord's on Thursday.
While the score, particularly the number of wickets lost, would have been uncomfortable for South Africa captain Graeme Smith, who won the toss and batted, the situation could have been so much worse.
Fast bowler Steven Finn (three for 68) rocked the tourists with a pre-lunch burst of three for three in seven legitimate deliveries on his Middlesex home ground while James Anderson took three for 57.
But come the close Philander was 46 not out, having shared a seventh-wicket stand of 72 with Duminy, who gave it away on 61.
South Africa, 1-0 up in this three-match series and needing only to avoid defeat to replace England as the world's number one Test side, saw their powerful top order all out before lunch.
Opener Smith had made scores of 259 and 107 in his two previous Lord's Tests.
But a third century eluded him when Anderson, with his first ball from around the wicket, had the left-hander caught behind for 14 by wicket-keeper Matt Prior although England had to review Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena's initial not out decision.
It was the first time in four innings this series that Smith, who on Thursday broke Australia great Allan Border's record for most Tests as captain by leading the Proteas for the 94th match, had failed to make a fifty.
First change Finn, who retained his place at the expense of Tim Bresnan after England recalled off-spinner Graeme Swann having opted for an all seam attack during the drawn second Test at Headingley, then took over.
Alviro Petersen, who made a Test-best 182 at Headingley, was next out when he 'gloved' the tall Finn, getting good bounce, down the legside to Prior for 22.
It seemed he'd withdrawn his hand from the bat in time, but Petersen did not review the decision.
And 49 for two soon became 54 for four as England, whose build-up to this match had been overshadowed by their decision to drop Kevin Pietersen for sending text messages to South African players, saw Finn make a quick double strike.
Hashim Amla, who posted a South Africa record 311 not out in their innings victory in the first Test at The Oval, was bowled for 13 by a superb Finn delivery that nipped between bat and pad to clip off-stump.
Jacques Kallis then fell for just three, going the same way as Petersen, although his legside glove needed a lengthy review by Australian third umpire Rod Tucker.
It appeared Kallis's hand too was off the bat at the moment of impact.
But Tucker felt differently, much to the all-rounder's visible disbelief, and England captain Andrew Strauss had yet more reason to celebrate his 100th Test and 50th as skipper.
AB de Villiers and Jacques Rudolph put on 51 for the fifth wicket.
But the stand ended when de Villiers (27), edged Anderson to third slip Alastair Cook.
Rudolph, carelessly, was bowled off an inside edge, hitting across the line by Swann for 42 and, three balls into the new ball Duminy, not moving his feet, wafted at an Anderson ball well outside off-stump and was caught behind, having batted for nearly three hours.
There was a bizarre end to the day's play when a power cut all round Lord's saw several floodlights fail, with the umpires going off for bad light.

VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Bill Apter Shoot Interview
In a hard-hitting interview worthy of Matt Brock, Highspots speaks to the namesake of the "Apter mags" we all grew up on, Bill Apter. For three decades Apter served as Senior Editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and its sister magazines. In this candid late-night interview the affable New Yorker recalls childhood memories from backstage at Madison Square Garden, his start in the magazine business and memories of his former boss and mentor Stanley Weston.
Learn the inner-workings of the magazine family's publishing, cover choices and editorial content, and hear of heated reactions to its controversial wrestler ranking and "apartment wrestling" features. Also discussed are Bill's on-air roles with WCW and Joe Pedicino's "Pro Wrestling This Week", his surprising defection from London Publishing Co. to WOW Magazine, and his views on Dave Meltzer and the phenomenon of "insider" newsletters and websites. Plus, Bill reveals for the first time the details of his stint on the WWF payroll!
Find out Apter's role in orchestrating the legendary Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler feud and Hulk Hogan's appearance in Rocky III, and hear personal anecdotes about such wrestling luminaries as Vince McMahon Sr. and Jr., Bruno Sammartino, Road Warrior Hawk, Gordon Solie and many others.
If that's not enough, the charismatic Apter peppers the interview with dead-on impersonations of everyone from Dusty Rhodes to Terry Funk to "Captain" Lou Albano to ... Jerry Lewis?!
- Debut of "Apter's Alley" in-ring interview segment and backstage interviews conducted by Apter for WrestleReunion (including comical previously-unseen out-takes!)

I used to be gung-ho for business plans. They help you figure out if your idea is viable. You can't get funding without one. It gives you an easy-to-follow roadmap to success.
Since figuring out how entrepreneurship really works, I've realized these are all lies.
I put in my five months. I did my due diligence. I wrote my 35-page business plan with five years of pro forma financial statements. And I'm here today to make sure you don't make the same mistake.

I will not make the argument that Columbus's arrival in the New World was insignificant merely because he was an absolutely awful person or because he didn't actually discover anything (which he himself maintained, claiming until his death that he'd merely found a different route to Asia). But think about this before you dismiss -- before Columbus, avocado, bell peppers, blueberries, cashews, cassava root, chili peppers, chocolate, cocaine, gourds, maize, peanuts, pecans pineapples, pumpkins, squash, tobacco, tomatoes, and vanilla were all unknown in the Old World and alcohol, apples, bananas, barley, cheese, coffee, mango, onions, rice, tea, and turnips, and wheat were unknown in the Americas. Imagine an existence without any of those and you can hopefully begin to get a taste of the importance of the Columbian Exchange. Imagine Italian cuisine without tomato sauce or gnocchi and you can't help but wonder if this is why Columbus is so dear to many Italians. Imagine, on the other hand, genocide, slavery, and old world diseases and you'll understand why he's even more hated by many others.
Thanks to Rhino UK, this "lost" for-press-only video documentary about The Smiths has been unearthed!
The rockin' archeologists over at Rhino say this promo video was probably commissioned in 1992 to support The Smiths' Best… albums. What will they find next? Cave paintings of Bernard Sumner at Chauvet Pont d'Arc?

Muskrat and Beaver Control
Muskrat and Beaver Removal Permit
The Massachusetts Department of Fish and Wildlife has assigned local Board's of Health the responsibility of investigating nuisance muskrat/beaver complaints and issuing emergency removal permits in Massachusetts.
High waters caused by beaver activity may be infiltrating your septic system, threatening your well water, or flooding your dwelling or the road. In these instances the Board of Health can issue a permit allowing a trapper to remove nuisance beavers.
It is the property owner's responsibility to complete the Application for 10 Day Emergency Beaver or Muskrat Removal Permit and arrange for the trapper. If the nuisance beaver is not located on your own property, you must obtain permission of the owner on a Beaver or Muskrat Consent Form allowing the trapper to enter the premises. Click here for a list of beaver trappers.
The Board of Health can permit the removal of the nuisance animals only. The Board cannot give permission to breach (break up) or remove a beaver dam, as this involves wetland regulations. Please contact the Conservation Commission for permission to breach a beaver dam.

Strange trumpet sound heard round the world...
- Details
- Parent Category: News
- Category: Headlines Published Date Gabe Gimenez
A strange ominous Trumpet like sound has been heard all over the world again.
A trumpet sound (best described as the trumpet noise Christopher Nolan seemed to be in love with in Inception) has been heard again all over the world, leaving millions to wonder where the sound is coming from.
While strange, off putting, and just a tad ominous (especially with all the Apocalyptic fervor surrounding the 2012 myths) this is not the first time that the horns have been heard.
Reports have been pouring in from the four corners of the Earth, claiming to have heard this same mysterious sound since August of 2011 (the reports seemed to died down some time in October of 2011 with them recently starting to crop back up).
Check out these videos featuring the noise…
(There are a couple here. Please check them out. It is really a rather neat phenomenon…)
Video #1
Taken in Manitoba, Canada on January 15th, 2012. Clearly, the sound is not thunder. The noise bears a striking resemblance to the roar of the Cloverfield monster.
Video #2
Taken on January 14th, 2012 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Sounds very much like the noise in the previous video.
Video #3
This is an audio recording of the same noise being observed in Kiev, Ukraine from August 3rd, 2011. Really worth listening to for a minute or so…
Video #4
It's an 11 minute video of these "Trumpet" sounds being heard in Russia again on August 11th, 2011.
Video #5
This is perhaps the most unusual of the crop of videos as it features not only the ominous trumpeting sound but also a triangular light formation. Coincidence???
Like Louis Armstrong blew the trumpet…
It's an off-putting sound, ain't it?
Remind anyone else of that weird space probe from Star Trek IV (the one where Kirk and the crew had to go back in time to fetch some Humpbacked whales in order to sing to the alien probe intent on destroying our world)???
There seem to be as many varied explanations for the noise as there are ears that have witnessed it…
Religious zealots of every faith feel it is the sounding of the Trumpet of the Almighty, signaling the beginning of the Apocalypse.
Others claim the sound to be the thrusters from an enormous alien mothership as it passes over a city/area (this video is supported by Video 5). Needless to say, those who dreamed up this nutty explanation claim that the alien mothership is making this noise while cruising along cloaked by some sort of invisibility field.
There are some (admittedly, these are those who have just shit for an imagination) who feel that the noise could be an earthquake or some other geological release of subterranean pressure.
And of course, you can't do an unexplained phenomenon story without the "this is total bullshit" crowd making sure we all know that they know that this is nothing more than some lonely asshole's cries for attention (these guys, I might add, suck)…
While we might never know what it is causing that noise (unless, of course, either this is an alien invasion or all Hell is loosed upon the Earth…) we at The Weekly Constitutional will be sure to let you know of anything the second we hear about it (Because while there seem to be as many theories as there are witnesses, strangely absent from the above listing of explanations is the World's governments thoughts on the matter).

The CACM Regulation sets out specific obligations for NEMOs, TSOs, regulatory authorities and the Agency regarding the development and approval of different terms and conditions or methodologies, which are considered as detailed rules for the operation of Internal Electricity Market in the day-ahead and intraday timeframe. Article 9 of CACM Regulation describes the process of adoption of these terms and conditions or methodologies. In accordance with Article 9(6) of CACM Regulation these terms and conditions or methodologies are divided into European, regional and national. They are developed either by TSOs or NEMOs and in specific cases the cooperation of both.
A proposal from NEMOs or TSOs should typically be consulted upon in accordance with Article 12 of CACM Regulation and submitted to the concerned regulatory authorities and to the Agency in accordance Article 9(9) of CACM Regulation. The proposal should contain a timescale for implementation and the expected impact on the objectives of the CACM Regulation (Article 3). The concerned regulatory authorities should take decisions concerning the proposed terms and conditions or methodologies within six months after the receipt of the proposal. Where the regulatory authorities are not able to approve the proposal, they can request an amendment, which gives the concerned NEMOs or TSOs two months for amending the proposal. Subsequently the regulatory authorities need to approve the amended proposal within two months after receiving the amended proposal. If the regulatory authorities are not able to reach an agreement or upon their joint request, the Agency becomes competent to adopt a decision on the proposal within six months from the referral.
To enable a regular review of the terms and conditions or methodologies, the TSOs or NEMOs responsible for developing these terms and conditions or methodologies may propose amendments to them and submit them for approval to regulatory authorities. The regulatory authorities may request amendments to those the terms and conditions or methodologies which have already been approved in the past.
For the designation of NEMOs and reviewing the existing bidding zone configuration, different rules and procedures apply and are described in more detail in pages Designation of NEMOs and Bidding zone review.
See the implementation table for more details on the current status of this topic.
