Despite some recent selling, stocks are way up from their October lows. Specifically, they're up 20 percent in the last six months.
And stocks have far outperformed bonds. This is important because when this happens, the relative weight of an investor's portfolio tilts towards stocks. As a result, investors often have to sell stocks in order to rebalance their portfolio to get back to their long-term, strategic asset allocations.
However, big investors don't plan on doing any selling.
Intentions To Buy Stocks
Citigroup recently surveyed 115 fund manager clients.
"Fascinatingly, despite the gains thus far this year and the very modest upside to the aggregated target overall, more than 80% want to allocate additional money towards equities, with US equities leading the charge," said Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich. See the chart below.
The hunger for stocks might not actually be too fascinating if fund managers are already underweight stocks. JP Morgan's Tom Lee recently discussed this with Bloomberg's Carol Massar.
"Something that's been puzzling about this rally that started in March '09 is that the public hasn't really participated," said . "They pulled $300 billion out of the equity markets over the last three years. And trading volumes have been low, which means the institutions haven't really been participating in this rally either. Institutional volumes actually continue to shrink."
Low Volume
Low volume is often interpreted as a lack of confirmation – a bearish signal.
But some strategists have pointed to low volume as an opportunity.
"While many bears cite the lack of daily trading volume as a sign that the market lacks real conviction about these positive signs, it can also be argued that this reflects just how many investors have abandoned the equity culture and can still return," said Jim O'Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
In other words, low trading volumes also means there is cash on the sidelines, or that investors have the capacity to buy stocks.
So if Citi's survey participants put their money where their mouth is, then the huge blue bar in the chart mean that "confirmation" will come in a big bullish way.

What's The Strategic Mentoring Advantage?
How can people possibly become better leaders without being mentored and without mentoring others?
They can't.
Strategic MentoringTM measurably and powerfully leverages the immense power of your people, closing the gap between your business objectives and their potential -- because if you're thinking past your people, you're ignoring abundant value.
Strategic MentoringTM isn't a cost-cutting alternative to traditional leadership development, nor is it a proprietary social network. It comprises systems, tools, and processes to accelerate people as a competitive advantage. It violently aligns your people to a collaborative vision and strategy. Simply put, it engages the most powerful growth asset in your arsenal -- your team -- and energizes it in the most optimized possible way.
Leadership training without mentoring is a shell game. It has to be meaningful. It has to be sustainable. It has to be agile. It has to be strategic.
Are you wondering how mentoring can help you achieve your business goals?

Not sure if this is the right section to put this query in, but I guess people who are interested in the environment may be able to help...
I'm thinking of getting the OH a camera trap for Xmas (although in reality it would be joint present as I'm quite interested as well
). They seem to range wildly in price from around £100 to anything over. Any advice from anyone who has got one as to what to buy, what to look for when buying, and what to avoid?
We would like to see what is visiting our garden at night, so night vision is important. Do they all come with sound, or is that an optional extra? Have looked on Amazon etc. and when I think I've come across one that looks okay, a scroll through the reviews shows up various faults and issues with many of them, particularly the reaction speed for sensing something to actually taking a picture/video.

I've had my Bushnell trail cam for a few years now and I can really recommend it. You can set it to take three still photos, or a short video and then down load your captures onto the computer.

We have a Bushnell camera that we got from a company called Naturespy. It contains a chip which we can take out and download onto the computer and takes stills and short videos. It uses standard AA batteries. Pictures are colour during the day and black and white as it uses IR at night.
We have it mainly as a security camera, but we see quite a lot of wildlife crossing the yard particularly at night. We have found it works quite well, and no major problems.

They start at less than £100 from Aldi and Lidl, if they get them in before Christmas.
I would start by looking at some of the trail cam review sites, mostly in the US and many seem to sell them so are not going to be that unbiased but a place to start. They will list trigger and recovery times.
Many don't record sound, I would guess they will be more expensive. I would also try and get a good image resolution as once you get over the excitement of seeing animals you start to wonder if it's the same animal visiting each night so better image quality is useful.

I use Ltl Acorns, which I get from the South American river site. They are between £80 to £90. They take quite good pictures, though sometimes you have to tweak the exposure. The previous one to the two I have now lasted two years and then stopped working after taking a picture every 15 seconds till the battery ran out (I didn't ask it to do that), but since it had been outside permanently for that two years, I was not too bothered. When I have time I'll put up some pictures, but Jaki came home from hospital yesterday so it won't be right away.

Thanks all. I will check out the ones you have suggested. Bushnell seem to do a range of cameras, and I guess it boils down to what we want the camera to do, and how much we're willing to pay.

I think so. The Bushnell we have gives good clear pictures, useful as we have it mainly as a security camera. If animals come through when it is light, I think you would be able to identify individual animals. There is sound on it too.

Here is one from one of my cameras:
This Roe Deer (
Capreolus capreolus
) appeared on the first night I put the new camera out. I had not seen one in the garden before, though they have been nearby.
Not all the pictures are as good as this one. The image is slightly cropped and edited for contrast/gamma.
Will post some more later when I can.

really nice photo, considering it is from a auto snap camera with a bit of tweaking it is a very good looking image
( i tweak most of my" for show" snaps even from a camera that is pre adjusted at button press for lighting conditions ,contrasts etc etc )

If it is two legged visitors then you need one with a sim card that sends the pic to you as soon as it is taken.

We had some 2 legged visitors, which is why we have our camera. They would have been easily identifiable from the pictures, which we gave to the police, but they weren't known to them. Didn't take anything but had a look around in a few places. In some ways it is better to just identify them as some can be a bit nasty.

I'm reasonably certain I also had some two legged visitors on Saturday night. Nothing taken, I don't think, but I'm sure I didn't leave the garage open, and I heard a lot of dragging noises in the night (at least partly due to wind, but not entirely I don't think)
Roughly how long do the batteries last?

MEBANE � A vote last week by Graham City Council to quit adding fluoride to the city�s water has caused a stir in Mebane and elsewhere around the county.
Graham�s vote to discontinue fluoridation was contingent on members of the Mebane City Council doing likewise. Should both boards agree, fluoride will no longer be added to the Graham-Mebane Lake water supply.
If Mebane votes to continue the use of fluoride � or simply doesn�t take action on the matter � the water will continue being treated as it has for decades.
Members of the Mebane City Council meet March 4. The agenda for that meeting hasn�t been set, so it�s unclear if the issue concerning fluoride will be discussed.
Mebane Mayor Glendel Stephenson said he�s received numerous emails � from area dentists, from citizens and from state health officials � about fluoridation since Graham�s vote.
�Ninety-five percent are saying, �Please don�t change,�� Stephenson said. �That�s the overwhelming opinion.�
He said he was surprised Graham voted on the matter before discussing it with Mebane leaders.
�We�re in a partnership,� Stephenson said. �Why make a decision like that without first communicating with the other partner? Why would you bring up something so much a public matter at a council meeting without (getting) a lot of background and make a decision?�
Graham�s vote came after council members heard a presentation from the city�s utilities director, Victor Quick. He recommended the action after telling council members fluoride has been linked to some cancers and other health ills, �according to the research you believe.�
Stephenson said the feedback he�s received indicates those who oppose fluoridated water are basing their stances on flawed research. He noted that almost anything used in improper measures can prove harmful.
Arsenic, Stephenson noted, is used in some medications. Chlorine is used to clean pipes at water plants. Use either at the wrong levels, he said, and they�re deadly.
�You can�t put in 5 percent (fluoride),� Stephenson said. �It�d kill us all.�
Stephenson cited an email he received from N.C. Health Director Dr. Laura Gerald, who referred to fluoride as, �Both a safe and cost-preventive means of preventing tooth decay.� An email from Rebecca King, the state�s dental director, said fluoride was proclaimed by the Centers for Disease Control �one of the top 10 health advancements of the 20th century.�
Stephenson isn�t the only one receiving those emails. Mebane Councilman Ed Hooks said he and other council members have all been on the receiving end of correspondence about fluoridation. He said only one email he�s received asks that fluoride be removed from the drinking water.
The remainder, Hooks said, have been overwhelmingly in support of keeping it.
�I don�t think any of us will support getting rid of fluoride in the water,� Hooks said of council members. �I know I�m leaning toward keeping it.�
Members of the Alamance County Board of Health won�t be specifically addressing the Graham/Mebane matter when they meet Tuesday, but on their agenda is a vote on a resolution in support of fluoridated water.
Kent Tapscott, the board�s chairman, said he and other health board members have received numerous letters and emails from individuals and state leaders in support of fluoridation.
�Fluoride is really important for all the citizens,� Tapscott said.
He said the information he�s read indicates removing fluoride from water would have the greatest negative impact on lower income families, whose children don�t visit the dentist on a regular basis. Tapscott said he�s read studies that indicate the need for professional dental care increases as much as 25 percent when an individual�s water is not treated with fluoride.
�I�m not sure we�d have enough dentists in the area to take care of everyone if we removed fluoride,� Tapscott said.
Barry Bass, director of the Alamance County Health Department, said the vote concerning the fluoride resolution will come shortly after the board opens its monthly meeting � scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Alamance County Human Services Center (the former Alamance County Hospital).
BASS SAID THE cities of Graham and Mebane aren�t the only ones addressing the matter of fluoridation.
�This issue appears to be popping up across the state,� he said.
Graham Mayor Jerry Peterman said the fact the city�s board was going to address the issue of fluoridation was advertised in numerous media outlets prior to its Feb. 5 meeting.
�When we had the meeting, no one spoke,� he said.
A lack of feedback hasn�t been the case since news accounts of the board�s decision were made. Council members have been inundated, Peterman said.
�We�re getting a lot of information,� he said. �After the article came out in the paper, people started coming out.�
Peterman said he doesn�t regret the board�s vote. �We were doing right with the information we had,� he said.
Peterman said he doesn�t think members of the Graham board would readdress the issue, but said he plans to attend Mebane�s March 4 meeting and speak if permitted. He said going into Graham�s vote, board members knew their action would hinge on Mebane voting in a like sense. Peterman said he won�t be disappointed if members of the Mebane Council don�t follow Graham�s lead.
He said he�s heard from several local dentists who were upset by Graham�s vote. Peterman said he�s also heard from officials with the Alamance-Burlington School System who told him his board erred.
Peterman said board members decided to address the matter about six months ago when it was learned the supply of fluoride at the water plant was running low. He said they�ve got a supply of about two months remaining. Discontinuing the fluoridation program would result in an operational savings of about $12,000 to $14,000 per year.
But at last month�s meeting in Graham, Quick emphasized his recommendation to discontinue the use of fluoride was not a money-saving move, but one of health.
�The plant staff believes the addition of fluoride to our public water supply is unnecessary,� Quick said at the time. �Staff believes fluoride should be applied directly to the teeth as opposed to ingestion� from the water. �Fluoride toothpaste is a much safer and cost-effective way to reduce tooth decay.�

I really like the trailer. It still did not make me understand how it should work but if I am to guess, I'd say it should be something like Valkyria Chronicles which is always a good thing!
Ouch, this game flopped hard in Japan. Out of the PS3, PS4, and Vita versions the Vita was the only one to even list in the top-20, with a meager 6000 copies sold. In its opening week. There's just no way to put a positive spin on this. I haven't seen a game flop this badly in a while.Which is a shame because it's actually supposed to be a pretty decent SRPG.
If I had to get all arm-chair economist on this game and guess the reasons for why this game did so poorly in Japan, I'd say:- Really poor timing due to the most recent tax rate hike inflating costs.- And I mean REALLY poor timing since people who might have picked this up, tapped themselves out for the near future trying to get the most out of the previous tax rate before the hike.- The fact that it was released for so many platforms has probably divided the fanbase and thus causing total sales per console to be divided too heavily.- That it was targeting a niche audience to begin with.- That the developer isn't a company usually associated with SRPGs, which might lead to several potential customers wanting to 'wait and see'.- Not enough Moe Pedo Bait Waifu Wars CCG.Either way, hopefully it'll be a self contained story because there's now a zero percent chance of this ever getting a sequel.

September Is National Preparedness Month [AUDIO]
With wildfires in Montana and deadly floods in Colorado. Montanans are being reminded that September is National Preparedness Month.
The Governor's Office of Community Service is encouraging all Montanans to make sure their families and communities are prepared for any disaster or emergency. Ready Montana coordinator Katie Gallagher said on Monday, September 16, that preparedness is both a shared and a personal responsibility.
"Experts say to make sure you're able to be on your own for at least 72 hours," Gallagher said. "It's also important to make a family communication plan because phone lines may be down, and also to be informed as to who your local first responders are in your community. The last thing is to help your neighbor. We're seeing that in the Colorado flooding, as well as the Lolo wildfire, with people opening their homes to those who have been displaced."
Gallagher said each family should have an emergency kit.
"We encourage folks to have a kit to last at least 72 hours, or in a major disaster like Hurricane Katrina, you should have supplies for a much longer period of time," Gallagher said. "For your kit, consider first aid supplies, flashlights with working batteries, a NOAA weather radio in case your TV is out, as well as food and water for your entire family."
Gallagher said most of the items for your emergency kit are readily available at local stores.
"Most of the items are available at your local grocery or hardware store," Gallagher said. "Keep in mind, we're not telling people to stock up on huge amounts of items, just enough to sustain your family for the next few days. We have a website specifically to help you prepare your emergency kit, and to obtain more information."

Enjoy this beautiful guest blog post from Kristin Littrell, CFCA correspondent!
This morning I loaded my two young girls in the car and headed off to the local library to meet a friend for toddler story time.
We gather there often, on snowy winter days and blazing hot summer days alike, watching our kids learn while we sneak in bits of girl talk here and there.Today we tumbled in, carrying babies and heavy diaper bags, chasing kids bound for the life-size painted cow on our way into the kids room.
This is life as a mom, right? Crazy, chaotic and fun, of course.
We got the kids settled on the beige carpet tiles just as the librarian started reading the first story, a silly tale of counting zoo animals.
Bright sun poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, this building a modern standout in the midst of a flourishing area of our city.
As my friend wrangled her 1-year-old, and I shushed my talkative 3-year-old, she leaned over to me, flashed a big smile, and said, "It's Nirhva, my sponsored girl's, birthday today."
Here, in the middle of a busy day as a mom, my friend was thinking of her sponsored child, a world away in Haiti.
I smiled deeply, fully, and glanced out the windows overlooking the most beautiful shopping district our city boasts. I couldn't help but think how different my friend's life is from Nirhva's, whom she had just mentioned.
And that, in a nutshell, is why I believe in sponsorship.
Because that's what sponsorship does: It creates relationships that defy geographic, cultural or socioeconomic boundaries.
It connects a mom in the U.S. with a young girl in Haiti in such profound ways that my friend was remembering and bragging on Nirhva's birthday, just like she would her own daughter's.
"I love her to pieces," my friend said.
In the midst of bottles, diaper changes and story times, my friend is living a great story ó one of love, friendship and hope, for her, her family and Nirhva.
I'm thankful sponsorship makes that possible.

Final Fantasy XIV Review…it is Awesome
Breaking this down into Buffs (things I love) and Debuffs (debunking a lot of misconceptions of the game that led me to believe I might not like it) and Curse (what sucks).
I'll just start with the awesomesauceness of the game.
*The graphics. It has not been since Final Fantasy XI that I have encountered graphics that really impressed me and so it is quite appropriate that it's FFXIV that trumps the last time I was truly wowed by a graphic engine. The renderings are just spectacular, the details are as crisp as I remembered the last time.
Did I mention the graphics are just awesome? I definitely would not recommend anyone try to play this game without the bare minimum system requirements for sure. You will lag, your screen will look like the original nintendo, and it won't be worth your money to try to play this game unless you can fully appreciate it.
* This game rewards you for exploring and figuring things out as you go. Spending the time to click on the NPCs and talking to everyone often yields really cool stuff you wouldn't know about. The wiki for this game is still pretty small so I am finding the need for exploration a really fun change from having every zone and NPC memorized.
*Minimal questing. You only get like 8 quests per week and then the rest of your leveling is done through grinding mobs or crafting. I think I hated this in FFXI but now love it having been totally burnt out from quest grinding in WoW. It's just nice to not have to worry about everyone being on the same quest etc.. just go out, explore, and kill shit that's within your level. It's nice because…
*The combat is a lot longer than in WoW for sure. You spend many minutes on one mob which might sound tedious if it weren't for things like Battle Regimens which require group coordination to perform special debuff abilities on the mob when performed correctly. It's not easy so far and that challenge alone makes game play not as boring as "spam spam spam spam kill." The combat system also offers Tactical Points which let you set off special moves as well which break up the spammyness of your typical fights. And you know the game mobs are only gonna get more complex when a simple beginners mob dodo bird can blind, slow, and sleep you. lol.
*Crafting graphics are awesome (not just twisting your fingers around in the air while being hunched over). You actually see saw blades and spin wheels for tailoring etc. And so far I love the actual crafting mechanism too. I actually feel like I'm performing a skill when I'm fishing or doing botany (chopping down wood off trees). It's like a mini game inside the game.
Problems I heard people have in FF that I didn't think were bad at all.
*Controls. Movement controls are fine for me but I've always used the awsd keys in conjunction with my right mouse click to navigate in WoW. If you are used to the arrow keys, I can see how you might really have a hard time but the plus side is that once you learn to move with your mouse and keyboard, it's way more fluid and nice…good habit for game play anyhow.
*XP Fatigue. This is the one I've heard people bitching about the most but I think it's probably the most misunderstood mechanism of the game so far. In FFXIV, ONE character can be any class and a class is defined not only as say like a conjurer or lancer but also as a fisher or botanist or miner. You can be all of them if you want. To change classes, you only have to change out your weapon and bam, you are a new class.
XP Fatigue begins after 8 hours of ONE class and then diminishes to zero XP gain after 16 hours (per week). This means you can go to another class and level that up after those hours. They are encouraging people to not just be mono-classed and seriously, who the hell can do more that 16 hours of grinding a fuckin' wharf rat or doing 16 hours of mining per week.
They did this so you wouldn't feel guilty about leveling up another class during the week..time you would otherwise pour into perfecting your main class etc. I rather like this system a lot because it frees me up to do other things in the game rather than to level chase and encourages me to try other things in the game than grinding a mob.
There are 18 classes in the game and 18x16 = more hours than in a week…so it's not like you have to turn off the game at any point for you crazy mmorpg addicts *looks at self*
*No Epic Loot Drops. I guess I actually like that there is no looting in the game. Random crap just goes directly into your inventory and you don't have to waste time pick up crap off the mob. Gear and weapons are pretty much crafted although some crappy stuff occasionally drops off mobs or are received through quests. The majority of loot you will want though will be from other players in the game who spend the time to gather and craft etc. THIS is what makes crafting in a game actually useful…demand. When awesome crap falls off of mobs, who the heck wants to five days crafting a shield? Not me.
*No Auction House at game launch. This one I can see why people are going nuts but at the same time I still applaud SE for trying something bold with the market wards. Yes, they are laggy and horribly time consuming but at the same time they generate a community that is normally vacant. Secondary class systems have previously just been useless and interaction for trade systems in WoW was rather annoying because of the amount of spamming you had to do. I get the feeling they will bring in an AH system later but for now, they want people active in the market wards. And quite frankly, the awful truth is that if you find yourself saying "I don't have time for this" then this game is probably not for you..stay far far away. (I spent thirty minutes just looking for the fishing guild on three different levels of an area cursing in frustration the whole way but being so excited when I finally found it…that's FFXIV)
So the stuff about the game that just plain sucks!
*TABing to another window while running FFXIV will crash the game. I'm not sure if that's just beta or if that will be the case in the title release.
*(my BIGGEST gripe of FFXIV) Software Mouse sucks but hopefully someone will make a mod so we can use the hardware mouse instead.
*/tell Firstname Lastname to talk to friends sucks! there is no /r yet which makes chatting in the game a pain. Maybe they are trying to encourage people to get in a linkshell ASAP.
*Party invite only seems possible when you are physically near each other and can click on the player..seems cumbersome.
Gonna go ahead an list a few things I learned that might make game play easier for anyone just going in:
*Shortcuts I love:
[Home] = open and close main menu
[C] = Target Lock
[F] = Toggle Active/Passive Mode
[B]= Open/Close Emote
The rest here:
*Talk to everyone more than once…sometimes they have more to give you…ie.. I got my extra spell by talking to the main barkeep in town a second time.
*Macro Guide: http://www.ffxivcore.com/wiki/Macro_Guide
*Like @Ejji says: put everything you know and love about WoW on the shelf before playing.
I set up a bindpoint channel for FFXIV to spam random crap about things we've figured out:

Carl's Jr.®
Carl's Jr. Keeps Summer Going with Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Salad
Jul 21, 2010
Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich Inspires Sweet New Salad Entree
CARPINTERIA, Calif. - July 21, 2010 - Carl's Jr.® is kicking its summer menu up a notch with the introduction of its Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Salad, now available at all Carl's Jr. restaurants.
Sweet, spicy and light, the salad features grilled chicken strips, charbroiled Dole® pineapple, fresh red onion slice rings and cucumber slices on a bed of mixed spring salad greens, topped with Asian sesame dressing and wonton strips.
The Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Salad is available at Carl's Jr. for $4.99. Prices may vary by location. Guests also can still enjoy the popular Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich, which was introduced earlier in the season and, with its signature charbroiled chicken breast fillets and pineapple, inspired the new salad entrée.
"The Carl's Jr. Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Salad is unique in the fast-food world and it's perfect for the hottest days of summer," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing at Carl's Jr. "The grilled chicken, grilled pineapple, fresh produce and Asian sesame dressing together create just a remarkable flavor combination. Our franchisees love the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich and were thrilled to add this salad to their summer menus."
The addition of pineapples to its entrees is not new to Carl's Jr. In 2007, it was the first major fast-food restaurant chain to offer a teriyaki burger with grilled pineapple – something previously only found in sit-down burger restaurants. "Carl's Jr. has become known as the fast-food place where the public can find the same kind of burgers, sandwiches and salads they previously could only get at more expensive, sit-down restaurants," added Haley. "The Teriyaki Burger, the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich and now the Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Salad are delicious examples of that philosophy."
All season long, Carl's Jr. is offering Hawaiian Summer promotional tie-ins. Stay tuned to the Carl's Jr. Web site (www.carlsjr.com) and social media pages (www.facebook.com/carlsjr, www.youtube.com/carlsjr,www.twitter.com/carlsjr) for details.

NASA STS-129 Mission Footage (2009)
Videos in this documentary
Documentary Description
STS-129 Mission Footage
STS-129 Mission Summary, November 2009
Launch: 2:28 p.m. EST - Nov. 16, 2009
Landing: 9:44 a.m. EST - Nov. 27, 2009
Orbiter: Atlantis
Mission Number: STS-129 (129th space shuttle flight)
Launch Window: 10 minutes
Launch Pad: 39A
Mission Duration: 10 days, 19 hours, 16 minutes, 13 seconds
Landing Site: KSC
Inclination/Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Primary Payload: 31st station flight (ULF3), EXPRESS Logistics Carrier 1 (ELC1), EXPRESS Logistics Carrier 2 (ELC2)
Commander Charlie Hobaugh led the STS-129 mission to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Atlantis. Barry Wilmore served as the pilot. Mission specialists were Robert Satcher, Michael Foreman, Randy Bresnik and Leland Melvin. Wilmore, Satcher and Bresnik made their first trips to space.
The mission returned station crew member Nicole Stott to Earth. STS-129 was the final space shuttle crew rotation flight to or from the space station.
Atlantis delivered parts to the space station, including a spare gyroscope. The mission featured three spacewalks.
STS-129 was the 31st shuttle mission to the station.
STS-129: Stocking the Station

The spare parts delivered to the International Space Station by Atlantis during the STS-129 mission will mean spare years on the station's life once the space shuttle fleet is retired.
"You'll see this theme in some of the flights that are going to come after ours as well," said Brian Smith, the lead space station flight director for the mission. "This flight is all about spares – basically, we're getting them up there while we still can."
With only one U.S. module left to deliver, the Space Shuttle Program is turning its attention to helping the space station build up a store of replacement parts. There are only half a dozen flights left in the shuttle's manifest before they stop flying, and as the only vehicle large enough to carry many of the big pieces of equipment into space, several of the flights are devoted to the task. This is the first, however, and as the first this mission is dedicated to taking up the spares of the highest priority.
"We're taking the big ones," Smith said. "And not only are they the big ones – they're the ones deemed most critical. That's why they're going up first."
The spares are going up on two platforms – called external logistics carriers, or ELCs – to be attached on either side of the station's truss, in hopes that wherever a failure happens, the necessary spare won't be too far away. The ELCs carried up on STS-129 will be chocked full with two pump modules, two control moment gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, an ammonia tank assembly, a high-pressure gas tank, a latching end effector for the station's robotic arm and a trailing umbilical system reel assembly for the railroad cart that allows the arm to move along the station's truss system. There's also a power control unit, a plasma container unit, a cargo transportation container and a battery charge/discharge unit. In all, that's 27,250 pounds worth of spares to keep the station going long after the shuttles retire.
Some of those spares would be used to replace failed components of the systems that provide the station power or keep it from overheating or tumbling through space. Others, in the case of the latching end effector and reel assembly, are essential parts of the robotics system that allow the astronauts to replace the other parts when they wear out.
"It was a long-term goal to have the full power production capability and all the international partners present and six person crew capability," said Mike Sarafin, the lead shuttle flight director for the mission. "These are the spares that will allow us to utilize the investment that we've put in."
Attired in training versions of their shuttle launch and entry suits, these six astronauts take a break from training to pose for the STS-129 crew portrait. Image: NASA
NASA isn't nearly done investing in the station, however, and the agenda of Atlantis' crew makes that clear. In addition to the complex robotics work required to get the spares into place, there are three spacewalks scheduled to go on outside and a complicated rewiring project planned for the crew inside.
The focus for the work inside, and object of several tasks inside, will be preparing for the STS-130 mission, during which the last U.S. space station module will be delivered: the Tranquility node with its attached cupola. During the spacewalks, that will mean routing connections and preparing the berthing port on the Harmony node that it will attach to. On the inside, the work is a little more extensive. Originally, Tranquility was to be installed on the Earth-facing port of the Harmony node, but it's since been decided that it would fit better on the port side of Harmony. And changing the plans requires significant changes to the hardware. Data, power, cooling lines, air flow – all of those connections need to be rerouted to the new location, and with double the manpower normally available at the station, a shuttle mission is a good time to get that done.
However, even with the shuttle crew at the station, resources aren't unlimited. Any mission would consider its plate pretty full, with the robotics work required to get the spares transferred to the station, the spacewalks and the Tranquility prep work inside. But unlike the other space shuttles, Atlantis wasn't outfitted with the system that allows shuttles to draw power from the space station. That means that where recent station assembly missions have lasted up to 17 days, Atlantis has only 11 to get to the station and back.
"All that in 11 days," Sarafin said. "It's a lot to package into a finite period of time; it's a challenging mission."
Still, the STS-129 team intends to make the most of every second it has on orbit, just as the larger shuttle and station teams will make the most of each of the remaining missions. That's not unusual, though – Atlantis' Commander Charles O. Hobaugh would say that it's characteristic of the entire effort that has gone into building the station.
"There's been a lot of work put forth to make it all successful, and it's just incredible to see how much has been accomplished and how successful it has become," he said. "The space station has been a long hard road, but it's been an extremely productive road. We've really been able to bring together a diverse national and international background of cultures for one common cause. It's all science and exploration and cooperation."

When people (or reindeer) have the solution to a problem, the more radical and out of the ordinary the solution, an odd thing happens — The idea, and often the idea generator, get scoffed at and mocked.
It takes a leader with great fortitude and an entrepreneurial spirit to spot these creative gems and give them the chance they deserve. This article by Jacqueline Byrd, author of The Innovation Equation, uses the example of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to highlight the need for people to have the insight of Santa as he recognized the value of Rudolph's nose.
People often struggle to come up with the next great idea, but perhaps an equal challenge is to recognize other ideas, and people, as having their own unique brilliance–just like the brilliance of a reindeer's nose.

Grant, Oliver with Ryan reflected on the maintainership structure for UEFI on Arm. Leif worked hard to natively build the UEFI on Arm to get rid of x86 from his life, which he has almost done using his hacked chromebook running Debian—a loyal Arm and Linaro employee!
I worked to build it for the latest tool chain as I always end up using old tool chains resulting code breaking in latest tool chains. There was a lot of planning and discussions related to UEFI on Arm led by Andrea.
The UEFI boot loader LEG has ported to Arnadle is capable for microSD boot now. We are working to add SATA and network boot support on it now. The binary and setup for the Arndale is available here https://wiki-archive.linaro.org/Boards/Arndale/Setup/UEFI.

Nuttall, Zelia, 1858-1933
Extent: 1 linear foot
In 1896 the University of Pennsylvania Museum sponsored its first expedition to Russia. The Museum sent Zelia Nuttall (now remembered mainly for her work in the area of Mexican studies) as its representative on a trip to establish cordial relations and a system of exchanges and cooperation, and to obtain archaeological and ethnological specimens by gift or exchange. Nuttall traveled to Moscow, Kiev, Troitzkoi, Rostov, Nijni-Novgorod, and Riga. She also attended ceremonies for the coronation of Nicholas II and there acquired commemorative prints which she donated to the Museum and to Mrs. Hearst. The collection consists mainly of correspondence from Nuttall to William Pepper and Sara Yorke Stevenson, inventories of objects acquired, and images collected at the Pan-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition at Nijni-Novgorod (modern Gorki).

Reader mailbag, GMV Minerals (GMC.v) edition
While your humble scribe sneaks time away, we fill in with a bit of reader mail. Here's today's best from reader "FG", regarding GMV Minerals (GMV.v) and its news yesterday (yup he saw the crass scam in nanoseconds):
Hey Otto:
Thanks FG and agreed on how little this humble corner of cyberspace can change matters. People who read IKN are normally more switched on as well, not the dumbasses who think they're being helped over at CEO.ca, poor dears.
And your humble scribe's work desk is...
GMV Minerals (GMV.v): Spot the junior BS
This spotted by smart reader "A", see if you can see how GMV.v is BSsing you with its headline claim of 27.4m of 0.87 g/t gold.
Hint: look at the GMV 2016-8 drill assay further down the NR. Once you spot their scam it's so crass it's funny. There's nothing that exploreco scamsters won't stoop to in order to separate dumbis from their cash.
On the road
Pentanova (PMI.v) news
Word reaches this desk that Serafino Iacono isn't in a hurry to revisit Colombia, due to the fact that he's wanted for questioning by the Colombian regulatory authories about the collapse of Pacific Rubiales and the bare-faced way in which he's set up a brand new company, Pentanova, without offering compensation to the thousands of Colombians who lost tens of millions of dollars in the previous disaster.
Ecuador Presidential election: A second round run-off is now a near-certainty
- As per this Monday evening there are 90.2% of votes counted, not 100%.
- President government candidateLenin Moreno has 39.09% of the votes and if he makes it to 40% + 1 vote, he wins in this round and no ballotage will be needed.
- Main opposition candidate Guiilermo Lasso has 28.38% as per this evening and is in second place.
- The Ecuador electoral body now don't expect 100% of votes counted before Thursday, so until then there will be a bit of tenterhooks.
A geologist demolishes the Alset (ION.v) scam (at last)
Northern Dynasty: Ron Thiessen does BNN
- A PEA (the flimsiest allowed under 43-101 rules)
- A pre-tax IRR of 14%
- According to the PEA a permitting track of between eight and 15 (yeah, that says fifteen) years.
- Nobody really knows, but a capex of many many billions of dollars. Seven? Thirteen? Nobody knows! Sad!
The IKN Weekly, out now
UPDATED with partial official Results: Ecuador Presidential Election: Exit polls say...
1) Lenin Moreno (current government candidate) wins in this first round by getting at least 40% and being at least 10% ahead of the second place candidate.2) Moreno is joined by second placed candidate Guillermo Lasso in a second round run-off, that would happen on April 2nd if necessary.
UPDATE: At just before 8:30pm local time we have just been given the results of 51% of counted votes, official numbers and we're firming up towards the final score. The need to know is:
Lenin Moreno 38.26%The rest is noise. It's looking like a second round run-off.
Guillermo Lasso: 29.86%
UPDATE 2: Now 72.3% counted and the percentages remain very similar, Moreno 38.66% and Lasso 28.92%. This is now very likely going to the run-off.
#prayforsweden (Warning: Graphic Images)
IKN thanks the leader of the free world for bringing these events to our attention. Without the vigilance of him and his team we would never have known.

For a countable sequence of positive numbers $S=\{\lambda_i\}_{i\in N}$ is there a construction producing a Hamiltonian with spectrum $S$ (or at least having the same eigenvalues for $i\leq s$ for some $s$)?
Here by 'Hamiltonian' I understand a polynomial of $p_i$ and $q_i$ (or equivalently - $a_i$ and $a_i^\dagger$) of $k$ pairs of variables and of order $2n$. Both $k$ and $n$ can be functions of $S$ and $s$.
For example, for the spectrum $$S =\{3,5,7,9,\ldots\}$$ one of Hamiltonians working for any $s$ is $$H = 3+a^\dagger a.$$

Apple elected Susan L. Wagner to its board of directors, the company reported Thursday.
Wagner joining the board comes as Apple's longest-seated board member, Bill Campbell, retires from his position, according to the New York Times. Wagner is one of the founding members of the investment firm BlackRock and so far is the only member of the board with a finance background. Other members come from Disney, J.Crew and Genentech.
Campbell, who joined the Apple in 1983 as its marketing head, joined the board in 1997.
U.S. & World
"Sue is a pioneer in the financial industry, and we are excited to welcome her to Apple's board," Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive announced in a statement. "We believe her strong experience, especially in M&A and building a global business across both developed and emerging markets, will be extremely valuable as Apple continues to grow around the world."
As we wrote about last week, Cook is looking for new board members than can help Apple navigate the waters ahead and likely see things his way. Someone with great financial know-how can only help the tech company as it acquires startups.

Santa Fe police hold public meeting to focus on crime
The police department and dozens of Santa Fe residents are speaking up trying to put a stop to crime before it gets too out of hand.
The Santa Fe Police Department holds city wide block captain meetings four times a year but said this public forum will be especially important considering what time of year it is. Statistics show crime typically increases during warm weather since there are more opportunities for it.
Santa Fe has had an increase in property crime lately, so they say it is important for residents to ask the police questions, share concerns and tell them about neighborhood issues. The police will be looking for hot spots throughout Santa Fe so they can amp up patrols.
"Anything that anyone wants to bring to us, we're open to it," Celina Westervelt from SFPD said. "If there is a patch of bushes that a suspect might hide out after targeting your house, safety hazards in sidewalks, street lights that are out, anything!"
In the past, concerns about the Solana Center have been brought to their attention. Since then, police have taken measures to focus on that area as well and say so far, it has worked.
Westervelt said the police department also offers home and neighborhood evaluations year-round. If someone would like to have their area assessed, they can call and request an officer to come out and they will do so within a week. They will find, if any, areas that could make a home or neighborhood more susceptible or dangerous.
The city wide block captain's meeting is at the Tierra Encantada Charter School at 5:30 p.m.

Next Incumbent to Go: S.C's Bob Inglis
At least one more incumbent is likely to see his career end when the votes are counted Tuesday night.
Update: Gowdy trounced Inglis 71%-29% on June 22. The following column was published June. 21.
When GOP Rep. Bob Inglis of South Carolina was first elected in 1992, he was the darling of the Christian Right. And when Republicans won control of the House two years later, he seemed to be a man on the fast track to success. Never one to play it safe, he took a chance in 1998 by leaving the House to challenge Democratic Sen. Fritz Hollings and narrowly lost. He returned to the House in 2004 and seemed likely to finish out his career there.
But in Tuesday's round of primaries and runoffs, Inglis is the most likely incumbent to be knocked off. His biggest sin is his 2008 vote for TARP, the big bank bailout, but he's also on the outs for for voting against President Bush's Iraq surge, for backing climate change legislation and for being one of only a handful of Republicans to vote in favor of reprimanding Joe "You Lie!" Wilson, a fellow S.C. Republican who famously interrupted President Obama's address to Congress. His opponents say the conservative Inglis just isn't conservative enough.
Four Republicans ran against Inglis in the South Carolina primary two weeks ago, and one, Trey Gowdy, won the backing of the Tea Party and bested Inglis, 39% to 28%. Because Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, got less than 50%, there'll be a runoff today. Hardly anyone thinks Inglis can pull off an upset.
Inglis will likely be the fifth incumbent to lose this primary season, following Sens. Arlen Specter (D-PA) and Bob Bennett (R-UT) and Reps. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) and Parker Griffith (R-AL). Griffith and Specter were party switchers whose loyalty was questioned by core voters. Inglis has a similar problem of sorts: Though he didn't switch parties, too many South Carolina Republicans think he can't be counted upon.
