was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message. She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her. There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul. She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window. She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.

Officials running the V8 Supercar race this weekend in Perth made the mistake of telling the racers that, should they win, burnouts were forbidden en route to the podium. Telling Aussies not to burnout is clearly about as effective as telling Texans not to boast and Coloradans not to resent boastful Texans.
This weekend's V8 Supercar race may be remembered for a major burning up of Karl Reindler's Holden Commodore, but it was an in-your-face burnout of the top three finishers that's the real news.
In the face of a reprimand for ignoring instructions not to burnout at the end of the race, the top three finishers proudly let loose for a little controlled loss of traction.
"We're not allowed to show any emotion and put on a show for the people who pay the money to come watch us race," third-place finisher Garth Tander said. "What a joke."
Burn those slicks with pride, gents.

The information provided above is only a generalized description of burglary of single-family houses. You must combine the basic facts with a more specific understanding of your local problem. Analyzing the local problem carefully will help you design a more effective response strategy.
Descriptive information about typical burglars, at-risk houses and vulnerable areas reflects general characteristics of burglary in specific places or across a large number of offenses. However, different burglary patterns appear even within quite small areas.76 Because burglaries are so numerous, calculating averages can mask variations, creating a myth about the typical burglary. Thus, seeking trends within larger datasets is crucial.
The following are some critical questions you should ask in analyzing your particular problem of burglary in single-family houses, even if the answers are not always readily available. Your answers to these and other questions will help you choose the most appropriate set of responses later on.
You may have a variety of hunches about what factors contribute to your local burglary problem—e.g., alleys, drug addicts or poor lighting. You should test these hunches against available data before developing an intervention. Because burglary patterns may vary from one neighborhood to another, or from one type of house to another, you may want to examine the differences between burglarized houses and a sample of non-burglarized houses. Since sampling can be complicated, you may wish to consult a sampling expert.
Measurement allows you to determine to what degree your efforts have succeeded, and suggests how you might modify your responses if they are not producing the intended results. You should take measures of your problem before you implement responses, to determine how serious the problem is, and after you implement them, to determine whether they have been effective. All measures should be taken in both the target area and the surrounding area. (For more detailed guidance on measuring effectiveness, see the companion guide to this series, Assessing Responses to Problems.)
When evaluating a response, you should use measures that specifically reflect that response's impact. For example, police might give target-hardening advice to all burglary victims or all residents in a specific area. To determine the impact of the advice, you must assess the rate of compliance with it. If residents fail to close or lock windows and doors, installing locks or alarms will likely have little impact.
In addition, you must determine how many single-family houses are in your area before measuring response effectiveness. You can obtain such information from city planning agencies or other sources.
The following are potentially useful measures of the effectiveness of responses to burglary in single-family houses:

Researchers, including a team from Children's National Health System, have identified head circumference and head tilting reflex as two reliable biomarkers in the identification of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in children that are between 9 and 12 months of age.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ASD is identifiable as early as two years old, although most children are not identified until after the age of four. While a number of studies have reported that parents of children with ASD notice developmental problems in children before their first birthday, there has yet to be a screening tool to identify those children. "While the 'gold standard' screening tool is the M-CHAT questionnaire, it must be read and completed by parents and then interpreted by a health care provider," said lead author Carole A. Samango-Sprouse, EdD, and Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. "What physicians are missing is a quick and effective screening measure that can easily be given to all infants regardless of background and identify ASD before 12 months. This screening is also helpful in identifying those babies who may not initially appear to be at risk and would otherwise be missed until much later in life."This study looked at the use of head circumference and head tilting reflex as two biomarkers that can be used during their well-baby visits by their primary care providers. Both screenings were given to nearly 1,000 patients at the four, six, and nine-month well-baby visits. At the end of nine months, those infants with a head circumference above or equal to the 75th percentile, a head circumference that was in 10 percent discrepancy with the height of the baby, or those who failed the head tilting reflex test were considered at risk for ASD or a developmental language delay. These infants were then evaluated by a neurodevelopmental specialist and pediatric neurologist to differentiate between these disorders. Of the 49 infants that displayed abnormal results, without previous diagnosis, 15 were identified at risk for ASD and 34 at risk for developmental language delay. Of the 15 children who were identified at risk for ASD between 9 and 12 months of age, 14 (93 percent) sustained the diagnosis when it was made clinically at the age of three. "We will continue looking at the efficacy of the head circumference and head tilting reflex as a screening tool for these disorders," said Andrea Gropman, MD, a contributor to the study and Division Chief of the Neurogenetics Program at Children's National. "As with all developmental delays, especially ASD, the sooner we can identify those children who are at risk, the sooner we can intervene and provide appropriate treatment. In other words, the sooner we identify these delays, the better the outcome for those affected."Contact: Emily Hartman or Caitlyn Camacho at 202-476-4500Related Links

Steve Gibson has a plan to save the media world's financial crisis – and it's not the iPad.
Borrowing a page from patent trolls, the CEO of fledgling Las Vegas-based Righthaven has begun buying out the copyrights to newspaper content for the sole purpose of suing blogs and websites that re-post those articles without permission. And he says he's making money.
"We believe it's the best solution out there," Gibson says. "Media companies' assets are very much their copyrights. These companies need to understand and appreciate that those assets have value more than merely the present advertising revenues."
Gibson's vision is to monetize news content on the backend, by scouring the internet for infringing copies of his client's articles, then suing and relying on the harsh penalties in the Copyright Act – up to $150,000 for a single infringement – to compel quick settlements. Since Righthaven's formation in March, the company has filed at least 80 federal lawsuits against website operators and individual bloggers who've re-posted articles from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, his first client.
Now he's talking expansion. The Review-Journal's publisher, Stephens Media in Las Vegas, runs over 70 other newspapers in nine states, and Gibson says he already has an agreement to expand his practice to cover those properties. (Stephens Media declined comment, and referred inquiries to Gibson.) Hundreds of lawsuits, he says, are already in the works by year's end. "We perceive there to be millions, if not billions, of infringements out there," he says.
Righthaven's lawsuits come on the heels of similar campaigns targeting music and movie infringers. The Recording Industry Association of America sued about 20,000 thousand file sharers over five years, before recently winding down its campaign. And a coalition of independent film producers called the U.S. Copyright Group was formed this year, already unleashing as many as 20,000 federal lawsuits against BitTorrent users accused of unlawfully sharing movies.
The RIAA's lawsuits weren't a money maker, though – the record labels spent $64 million in legal costs, and recovered only $1.3 million in damages and settlements. The independent film producers say they nonetheless expect to turn a profit from their lawsuits.
"People are settling with us," says Thomas Dunlap, the head lawyer of the Copyright Group's litigation. The out-of-court settlements, the number of which he declined to divulge, are ranging in value from $1,500 to $3,500 – about the price it would cost defendants to retain a lawyer. The RIAA's settlements, which it collected in nearly every case, were for roughly the same amounts.
But experts say that settling the Righthaven cases, many of which target bloggers or aggregation sites, might not be as easy. The RIAA lawsuits often accused peer-to-peer users of sharing dozens of music files, meaning the risk of going to trial was financially huge for the defendants.
The same is true of the BitTorrent lawsuits. The movie file sharers are accused of leeching and seeding bits of movie files, contributing to the widespread and unauthorized distribution of independent movies such as Hurt Locker,* Cry of the Wolf* and others.
But each of the Righthaven suits charge one, or a handful, of infringements. Defendants might be less willing to settle a lawsuit stemming from their posting of a single news article, despite the Copyright Act's whopping damages. "You'd have to go after a lot of people for a relatively small amount of money," says Jonathan Band, a Washington, D.C. copyright lawyer. "That is a riskier proposition."
Gibson claims Righthaven has already settled several lawsuits, the bulk of which are being chronicled by the* Las Vegas Sun*, for undisclosed sums.
One defendant who is ready to settle is Fred Bouzek, a Virginia man who runs bikernews.net, a user-generated site about hardcore biker news. He was sued last week on allegations the site ran a Las Vegas Review-Journal story about police going under cover with the Hell's Angels.
Even if he had grounds to fight the case, he says it would be cheaper to settle. "The only choice I have is to try to raise money and offer a settlement," he says.
Bill Irvine of Phoenix says he is fighting infringement allegations targeting AboveTopSecret.com, the site he controls under The Above Network. The site is accused of infringing a Review-Journal article on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The site is a user-generated discussion on "conspiracies, UFO's, paranormal, secret societies, political scandals, new world order, terrorism, and dozens of related topics" and gets about 5 million hits monthly, Irvine says.
Righthaven, he says, should have sent him a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, because the article was posted by a user, not the site itself.
"In this case, we feel this suit does not have merit," he says. "We are confident we will have success challenging it."
Gibson says he's just getting started. Righthaven has other media clients that he won't name until the lawsuits start rolling out, he says.
"Frankly, I think we're having tremendous success at a number of levels," Gibson says. "We file new complaints every day."

British Aircraft Corporation (BAC)
British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) was created in 1960 after government pressure to rationalise an industry where 'far too many companies were competing for a diminishing number of contracts'.
Out of this policy came the decision to only offer new contracts to organisations that had been formed through various mergers and take-overs.
One of the first contracts to be awarded was for the TSR-2, a supersonic all-weather strike reconnaissance aircraft to replace the English Electric Canberra. Vickers-Armstrongs were selected as prime contractor with English Electric Aviation as sub-contractor. An initial amalgamation was agreed and soon after Bristol Aircraft Limited and Hunting Aircraft Limited subsequently joined the group.
In 1963, BAC acquired the guided weapons interests of both Bristol and English Electric and in addition created companies to serve the newly-emerging space and electronics industries.
The cancellation of the TSR-2 project in 1965 was a major blow to the company although their continued success in the civil airliner market with the BAC1-11, and in the military sector with the improved Lightning, Canberra and new BAC Strikemaster meant that the factories were still stretched to capacity.
BAC reached agreement with Bregeut in 1966 to build the SEPECAT Jaguar Attack Aircraft and the first of eight prototypes flew in September 1968. Soon after, MBB, Fiat and Fokker joined forces with BAC (in March 1969) and formally created Panavia Aircraft GmbH to produce the Panavia Tornado, of which 992 were produced worldwide.
A major landmark in world aviation was established on 2nd March 1969 with the first flight of Anglo-French Concorde. The supersonic airliner would set new levels of comfort and performance on routes around the world and was said to be the pinnacle of British aviation engineering expertise.
Alongside the accomplishments of BAC, the Hawker Siddeley Group were also experiencing success with the likes of the Harrier 'Jump Jet' and Trident airliner, and both companies competed side-by-side for contracts throughout the 1960's and early 1970's - that was until the British Government indicated their desire for the two entities to merge.
However, it wasn't until 29th April 1977 that British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddely Aviation (and independant Scottish Aviation) were all finally nationalised and a new company emerged, British Aerospace Plc.

To work with libraries created using Final Cut Pro X 10.1 – 10.2.3 in Final Cut Pro X 10.3, you must update existing libraries. When you choose to update a library, Final Cut Pro analyzes your library and converts all compound, multicam, and sync clips to a new role-based format. Final Cut Pro gives unique subroles to each of the audio components contained in compound, multicam, and sync clips. These changes can affect a project's sound mix, especially for projects that include many of these types of clips.
Before you update
Before you update Final Cut Pro, back up your existing libraries and your current copy of the Final Cut Pro application. This allows you to move your files to another Mac and to continue working on these projects, if necessary.
Because updating libraries could affect the sound of your projects' mixes, you might also want to considering doing any of the following before updating:
- Wait until all the projects in that library have been completed and delivered before updating libraries.
- Share your current projects for use as a reference to compare them with the sound of the projects after updating. If a project doesn't sound the same after updating, you might need to spend some time adjusting the affected edits in the sound mix.
Libraries updated for Final Cut Pro X 10.3 aren't compatible with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro X. Back up all files and the application before updating.
About audio roles in compound, multicam, and sync clips
In earlier versions of Final Cut Pro X, compound, multicam, and sync clips had channel-based audio components. For example, a clip recorded in the field might have four audio channels. When placed inside of a compound, multicam, or sync clip, these audio channels appeared as components of the clip.
When you update your libraries to Final Cut Pro X 10.3 the update process converts these clips to a new role-based clip type. In the role-based format, the audio components of compound, multicam, and sync clips are defined by the subroles the audio components are assigned to. If multiple audio clips contained within a compound, multicam, or sync clip share the same role, Final Cut Pro mixes all the audio clips into a single component, which then operates much like a traditional audio bus. For example, if all of the audio clips contained inside a compound, multicam, or sync clip were tagged with the "Dialogue" role, after updating the library that clip will have a single component called "Dialogue," and the audio from those clips are mixed together through that component.
Because of this, audio edits made to these clips in earlier version of Final Cut Pro might be lost or changed, which can change the sound of your mix. Because compound, multicam, and sync clips are reference clips, changes to any single instance will affect all the uses of the clip in other projects within the same library.
Changes to audio role assignments in compound, multicam, and sync clips
When updating a library, Final Cut Pro changes the role assignments of audio components contained in a compound, multicam, or sync clip.
In earlier versions of Final Cut Pro X, a clip with four audio channels could be assigned to a single parent role ("Dialogue" in the example below):
When you update the library that contains this clip, Final Cut Pro X assigns each audio component of the clip to a unique subrole. Components that previously shared a role have a number appended to the original role name after the library is updated, as follows:
Final Cut Pro does not change the role assignment of an audio component if unique subroles are assigned to each component in a clip. For example, updating a library won't change the following clip's subrole assignments:
When projects will sound different
For complex projects containing many compound, multicam, or sync clips, automatic role assignment in the library update process might change the way some audio is being mixed for output. Audio edits on components of compound, multicam, or sync clips might be changed, which could lead to audible differences in the sound mix when playing back or after exporting.

The groups presented dozens of images and discussed how the project will benefit the community. The renderings were based on ideas collected from residents during a series of workshops held last November in Woodhaven, Forest Hills and Ozone Park.
The designs tried to address privacy issues, one of the main concerns raised by residents living along the proposed park.
The proposed QueensWay would provide bicycle and pedestrian paths along a nearly 3.5-mile stretch of the abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Line. Other ideas include outdoor exercise areas, performance space, community gardens, zip line, and dog park.
While there has been support for the project, a few residents expressed their displeasure. Magdalena Chen, who has lived in Richmond Hill for 27 years, doesn't feel it will benefit the community long term.
Chen asked if the Friends of the Queensway has spoken to all of the people that the proposal would affect.
"Before anything else goes on, why go through the process if these people don't want it?" she asked.
However, Ivan Mrakovcic and Travis Terry of the Friends of the QueensWay feel differently. Mrakovcic said this is a community process where people have been engaged the entire way, while Terry said it will greatly improve the community and provide a safe place for families.
"This is the buzz of the neighborhood," he said. "Many people are looking forward to it."
Anne Greene has lived in Richmond Hill for the past six years, and always wondered what was going to happen to the abandoned rail line. She and her husband Paul love parks and hope they begin construction soon.
"I really hope this project moves forward," she said. "We see a lot of benefits for it. It's hard to imagine it not improving the community."

At last night's Closing Night Awards Ceremony, the 6th Annual Noor Iranian Film Festival (NIFF) — a non-profit, non-religious and non-political organization that educates the non-Iranian community about the culture and heritage of Iranians through the medium of cinema — honored the only Emmy®-winning ("House of Saddam"), Oscar-nominated ("House of Sand and Fog") Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo with the '13 NIFF Achievement Award. The award was presented by veteran movie producer Hawk Koch, current president of the Producers Guild of America and former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Other industry luminaries who honored Aghdashloo with speeches and video messages included actress Frances Fisher ("Titanic," "House of Sand and Fog," "Unforgiven"), renowned Iranian journalist and author Homa Sarshar, actor and husband Houshang Touzie ("Argo"), director/producer/writer Alex Holmes ("House of Saddam") and director Catherine Hardwicke ("Twilight," "The Nativity Story").
Aghdashloo says, "The Noor Film Festival is an incredible educational tool for Iranians and non-Iranians alike. We have such a rich cultural heritage that goes far beyond the stereotypes of Iran that are constantly seen in the news media. I am so pleased to be honored by the festival so that we can work together to raise awareness about the multi-faceted beauty of the Persian culture through cinematic exploration."
Festival Co-founder & Director Siamak Ghahremani says, "We were happy to have Shohreh Aghdashloo as the recipient of the 2013 NIFF Achievement Award. Her exemplary talent and her accomplishments in Hollywood are something that the Iranian-American community is very proud of. She is truly a living legend in our community."
The festival also announced the renaming of the NIFF Achievement Award to the Reza Badiyi Achievement Award, in honor of the late, renowned Iranian-born television director Reza Badiyi ("The Incredible Hulk," "Starsky and Hutch," "Mission Impossible," "Baywatch"), who received the festival's first Achievement Award in 2009.

Launched in 2007 as the only Iranian film competition outside of Iran, NIFF's popularity continues to grow. This year's festival saw the largest participation in Noor history, hosting 35 officially selected films from filmmakers across the globe. Iranian film has risen to the international spotlight in recent years due to emerging politics. Independent Iranian films that have earned accolades often result in their filmmakers going into exile to escape the governmental regime.
About Shohreh Aghdashloo
Aghdashloo is not only the first Iranian actress to successfully crossover into mainstream Hollywood cinema, but she is also the first to receive an Emmy® Award [Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie] for her work in "House of Saddam" (2008) and an Academy Award nomination [for Best Supporting Actress] for her work in "House of Sand and Fog" (2003). Her acting career began in the late 1970s in her homeland of Iran where she starred in a number of prominent and award-winning films. After leaving her country during the Islamic Revolution and completing her education in England, she relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her love of acting. Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, she worked tirelessly to solidify herself as a serious actress, having to overcome Hollywood's difficult climate of embracing performers of Middle Eastern descent. She has since gone on to have a prolific and successful career on both the stage and in TV and film. In 2010, she received the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) Career Achievement Award. Recently, she filmed director Jon Stewart's "Rosewater" and "The Last Knights" opposite Morgan Freeman and Clive Owen. Her autobiography, The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines is on sale now.
About NIFF
A non-profit, non-religious and non-political organization, the Noor Iranian Film Festival (NIFF) was created to shed light, or 'noor,' on Persian culture, helping to express the beauty of a culture that is commonly misperceived due to its portrayal in the media. In 2005, Iranian-born Siamak Ghahremani co-founded the festival (with actor Anthony Azizi), and the inaugural international event occurred in 2007. Two years of planning and orchestration were required due to this being the first competition Iranian Film Festival outside of Iran, as well as the first Iranian-American Red Carpet event. The mission for the festival is to educate the non-Iranian community about the culture and heritage of Iranians around the world through the medium of cinema. Not without challenges, the festival supports filmmakers whose voice cannot be heard inside of Iran and around the world.
For seven days, the NIFF hosts premieres, networking events, and panel discussions, culminating in theclosing nightAwards Ceremony held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. The event is also dedicated to cultivating and promoting Iranian-American talent in Hollywood. Screenings are held at the Laemmle Music Hall(9036 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California).

The relationship between the American Bar Association and the National Association for Law Placement may be a victim of the bad market for law school graduates.
In the past, the ABA has relied on NALP to collect and sort detailed data from law schools about jobs and salaries.
But according to the The National Law Journal, the ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar now wants law schools to send that information directly to the section.
The ABA says it believes it needs to play a more direct role in the employment reporting process because it is responsible for accrediting law schools.
NALP says the ABA is needlessly requiring duplicate reporting by law schools and misappropriating the research and reporting process NALP has used for 37 years. The association hinted at a lawsuit to protect what it views as its intellectual property.
The NLJ article is here.

In the Red Queen's Race that is the the college admissions test market, the ACT has made its counter push to the SAT's latest sprint. The ACT has announced a revision to the essay and the introduction of a new scoring rubric. The changes are scheduled to be rolled out some time in 2015.
The ACT essay, which had until now has consisted of a topic concerning high school life, will now have students "evaluate multiple perspectives on a complex issue and generate their own analysis based on reasoning, knowledge and experience." Test takers will be expected to provide analysis from more than just their perspective on a specific topic. Further details about the nature of the new essay are scant, but it will still be optional and the time limit may be extended from the current 30 minutes.
As for the new rubric, students' new ACT scores will include "readiness indicators," which will attempt to show their "career readiness" and ability to "understand complex text." There will also be two cross-test categories, one score for language arts derived from the English and Reading sections (and the essay, if applicable) and the other will be a STEM score, based on the Science and Math sections. These cross-test scores are reminiscent of the bevvy of new scores introduced by the College Board three months ago for the new SAT. This growing synthesis of categories into one distinct score on college admissions tests seems to be a new trend and these scores, from this point on, will now be known on this website as "mush scores."
These adjustments are pretty minor in comparison to the recent overhaul of the SAT by the College Board. However, the ACT is currently on top and not looking to rock the boat too much. It's even ahead of the game in terms of transitioning from paper and pencil to computer-based, beta testing 4,000 students at 80 different sites in April 2014 for a 2015 release. Important to note that ACT is committed to offering paper and pencil tests as long as the market demands. While some outlets have reported this will be a computer adaptive test (a test that will increase the difficulty level of a subsequent question when you answer the previous one correctly), that information is incorrect. ACT has stated that the test is not computer adaptive at this time. They have hinted at additional changes coming in the future, including developing language to correlate an ACT score to the new Common Core standards.
Additionally, the ACT is planning on rolling out a series of SAT II style subject tests. These will be called "Optional Constructed Response Tests" and will be thirty-minute subject tests in math, reading, and science. These tests will not be multiple choice and instead the test taker will be required to produce her own response to "justify, explain, and use evidence to support claims." Scores from these tests will be combined with scores from the same subject areas on the ACT to give a "constructed-response test score" in each subject area. However, these scores will be an entirely separate entity and will not be reflected in your ACT composite score. So there will be even more numbers to figure out.
Come back soon, we'll post more news as it breaks.

Google officials said Monday that the company will replace a satellite image that a Richmond man says shows the body of his slain 14-year-old son.
Kevin Barrera was shot and killed on Aug. 15, 2009 near railroad tracks in North Richmond. Unbeknownst to the police and homicide detectives that swarmed the scene, a satellite photo was taken that day — a photo that has since been used as the Google Maps image of the area.
KTVU first reported that his father, Jose Barrera, learned of the image only a few days ago. It shows a body lying on the ground, and a police squad car and several officers nearby. The image was still up as of Monday afternoon.
Richmond police spokeswoman Sgt. Nicole Abetkov said homicide detectives who were on scene have confirmed that the image does in fact depict the crime scene that day and the body on the ground is actually Kevin Barrera.
Barrera's case is still open, she said.
Jose Barrera told KTVU that he wanted Google to take the images down out of respect for his son's memory.
"When I see this image, that's still like that happened yesterday," he said.
Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps, said the company will replace the image, and hopes to do so by the end of the month.
"Our hearts go out to the family of this young boy," he said in a statement. "Since the media first contacted us about the image, we've been looking at different technical solutions. Google has never accelerated the replacement of updated satellite imagery from our maps before, but given the circumstances we wanted to make an exception in this case. We believe we can update this in eight days, and we've spoken to the family to let them know we're working hard on the update."

On another point, this thread has run its course as it has become a place to tell others your Epson has bad clogs, and for others to say theirs don't. Helpful solutions are very few and far between at this point.
+1000; it would be great if future respondents could adhere to the original premise of the thread and post their solutions to problems rather than discussing whether or not Epson printers clog or not. I find the technical discussions quite illuminating and potentially useful even though I don't own a 7900.Alan
Moral of the story is to always buy an extended warranty when buying an Epson printer and factor that into the purchase price.Pete
Quite frankly I'm not convinced this is the moral of the story, or that buying an extended warranty is necessarily a good investment. An extended warranty is an insurance policy, and like all insurance policies it is a risk pool. Whether it is worth buying into that risk pool depends on the cost of the premium relative to the value of the risk. You can only know the value of the risk if you have data on the percentage of machines that require calling the warranty and the avoided cost os the covered incidents. The value of risk is probability of impact times cost of impact. Hence, just for hypothetical illustration in a simple way: if there is a 5% probability of impact and the avoided cost is expected to be $1000, the expected cost of the risk is $50. So if you pay $500 for the risk premium and its expected value is $50, you aren't on the winning side of that bet. Only if you are one of the "5%" do you come out ahead. It's a lottery. Or it's a feel good thing. One thing absolutely for certain: you cannot tell from web forums, including this one, what your probability of impact is for two reasons: (a) we don't have Epson's data on how many printers were sold and how many needed to be repaired, and (b) web forums are skewed, so you can't infer expected performance data from them: complaints are heard in much higher proportion than satisfied customers. It's like the news. All the thousands of aircraft that take off and land safely all over the world every day never make the news because it's not news. If one crashes it is news and that gets reported. Same kind of thing here. Believe what you read, but don't believe for a moment it's the whole story.
Come on Mark, you're stating the obvious ! . ...All I know is there are several folks .......... across the net in a very quick time these days and can destroy a good reputation.
Not everyone's experience in Europe with 11880 and x900 models. "Not using Epson media on that printer sir, if it happens with Epson media you can come back with your complaint. No mister, not even for Hahnemühle papers¨Loss of face in whatever country has nothing to do with it.-- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernsthttp://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm470+ inkjet paper white spectral plots, November 2012.Hi Ernst,I was not aware of the Epson attitude you described .... that kind of attitude is too bad.You misinterpreted by remark about loss of face though or I was not clear enough about it. I was referring to the Asian and in particular Japanese people, for which loss of face is the very worst thing that can happen to them. They will do everything to avoid that! Within Japanese companies usually top management in other regions (outside Japan) is Japanese. So probably that is also the case here in Europe, but they most of the time do not get these kind of info / complaints as lower management learns to keep it away from them - unfortunately. It is against the company culture cheers,Remko
especially when it's grouped with Blue Moon's point - it's almost ridiculous to expect you can clear ink clogs with the same ink that formed them.

NEW YORK. LeBron James cementing his status as one of the all-time best players, another devastating injury to Derrick Rose and a once-unthinkable power shift in Los Angeles all occurred during basketball's memorable 2013.
The year also will be remembered for a series of "lasts" for outgoing NBA Commissioner David Stern and a Canadian making history as the top pick in the NBA Draft.
After facing loads of criticism for past playoff failures, James inched his way up the list of all-time greats by leading the Miami Heat to a second consecutive NBA championship in June and putting his team on the verge of becoming a dynasty.
While not always at his best in the 2013 playoffs, James raised his game when it mattered most, scoring a game-high 37 points and adding 12 rebounds in a championship-clinching victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the decisive seventh game of the NBA Finals.
"For me, I can't worry about what everybody says about me. I'm LeBron James, from Akron, Ohio. From the inner city. I'm not even supposed to be here," James, a two-time Finals MVP, said after the victory. "That's enough.
"Every night I walk into the locker room, I see a No. 6 with James on the back. I'm blessed. So what everybody say about me off the court don't matter. I ain't got no worries."
For Stern, 2013 was a victory lap of sorts after having previously announced his decision to step down as the longest-tenured commissioner in professional sports.
Stern, 71, will retire in February after 30 years on the job, a period during which he oversaw strong revenue growth, expansion to 30 teams from 23, a movement into small markets like Oklahoma City and Memphis and helped grow the game on a global basis.
One week after the 2012-13 NBA season ended, the Cleveland Cavaliers used the top pick in the draft to select Toronto native Anthony Bennett, making him the first Canadian player taken first overall.
Bennett, touted as a big-bodied rebound specialist who played one season for the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, became the seventh player born outside the United States taken with the top pick but the first from a country better known for producing elite ice hockey players.
"Yeah. It's just crazy. Made history. I can't really complain about that," Bennett said after being the surprise top pick. "It's just like a long time dream that I had since I first started playing basketball, even though it was six or seven years ago. It's just crazy."
Rejuvenated clippers
For Chicago Bulls point guard Rose, the year ended the same way it began, with him on the sidelines because of an injury that has robbed the 25-year-old of another season in his prime.
Rose, who missed all of the 2012-13 season recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee, was injured 11 games into the current 82-game campaign before undergoing season-ending surgery to repair the medial meniscus in his right knee.
The injury was a devastating blow to a Bulls team that was considered a contender for the Eastern Conference crown with Rose rejoining a team that reached the conference semi-finals last season without him.
In Los Angeles, the spotlight that was usually reserved for Kobe Bryant and the 16-time NBA champion Lakers has since been shifted to the rival Clippers, who opened the season with lofty goals given the championship pedigree of former Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers at the helm.
Rivers, one of only four active coaches to win an NBA title, was acquired from the Celtics in June and is looking to bring the rejuvenated Clippers franchise its first championship.
The Lakers, long the preferred destination for top players seeking an NBA title, found themselves in unfamiliar territory having to battle for a playoff spot and then getting swept out of the first round of the postseason.
The offseason was no kinder to the Lakers as Dwight Howard spurned the team after one season to join the Houston Rockets, joining forces with James Harden on a team that made the playoffs last season for the first time since 2009.
"It means a lot to me just to have a fresh start and have an opportunity to write my own story," Howard said about his decision to leave the Lakers for the Rockets.
"I don't think people understood the fact that I got traded to L.A., and now I had a chance to really choose my own destiny, and this is the place where I chose and I'm happy about it."
Glory for LeBron, more heartbreak for Rose
NEW YORK. LeBron James cementing his status as one of the all-time best players, another devastating injury to Derrick Rose and a once-unthinkable power shift in Los Angeles all occurred during basketball's memorable 2013.

Unofficial Opinion 95-12
City Attorney
City of Tifton, Georgia
The City of Tifton may not transfer real property by deed of gift to the Tift County Recreation Department for recreational use but may transfer real property pursuant to a valid inter-governmental contract.
You have asked for my opinion on whether the City of Tifton may transfer certain real property by deed of gift to the Tift County Recreation Department for recreational use. As set forth below, it is my unofficial opinion that the city may not transfer real property without consideration, as that would violate the Georgia constitutional prohibition on gratuities, but that the city may transfer real property pursuant to a valid inter-governmental contract.
Preliminarily, you have indicated that the city owns the real property in question, that it is not currently being used for any purpose, and that it has not been used by the public for, at least, the past twenty-five years. However, you have not furnished me with information concerning the exact nature of the city's ownership interest or whether there are any restrictions on alienation, nor have you provided me with any documentation relating to the property in question or the proposed transfer, and I have not undertaken an independent review of any such documents. Rather, given your request to expedite this matter, I am necessarily relying upon your representations and assume that the city presently owns the property in fee simple without any restrictions on its ability to convey it.
The Georgia Constitution expressly permits inter-governmental contracts for the provision of services or use of facilities, where such contracts deal with activities or services which the contracting parties are authorized by law to undertake or provide. Ga. Const. 1983, Art. IX, Sec. III, Para. I. See also Ga. Const 1983, Art. IX, Sec. II, Para. III(a)(5) (authorizing counties and municipalities to provide park and recreation services and facilities). In the absence of such a contract between the city and the County Recreation Department regarding the recreational use of the property in question, the proposed transfer would violate Ga. Const 1983, Art. III, Sec. VI, Para. VI which prohibits gratuities. Accordingly, my unofficial opinion incorporates the assumption that a valid inter-governmental contract exists, or will be executed, in order to consummate this proposed transaction between the city and the county concerning the recreational use of the property in question.
Assuming an inter-governmental contract exists, the question becomes whether the city may lawfully convey the property. See Nations v. Downtown Dev. Auth., 256 Ga. 158, 161 (1986). There is a presumption that all property held by a municipal corporation is for the public use and benefit of its citizens (see O.C.G.A. § 36-33-6), and the general rule is that such property cannot be conveyed absent either express legislative authority or a finding that the public use has been abandoned or that the property has become unsuitable or inadequate for the purpose to which it was dedicated. See, e.g., Department of Transp. v. City of Atlanta, 255 Ga. 124, 127 (1985); Harper v. City Council, 212 Ga. 605, 607-608 (1956); City Council v. Newsome, 211 Ga. 899 (1955); Norton v. City of Gainesville, 211 Ga. 387, 390 (1955); Kirkland v. Johnson, 209 Ga. 824, 825 (1953). See also 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. U92-9; 1984 Op. Att'y Gen. U84-20.
While there is an exception to the general rule for property held by a municipal corporation for use by it as an entity, or in its proprietary or private capacity, as opposed to property held by it for the public use and benefit of its citizens (Harper, 212 Ga. at 607-608; Norton, 211 Ga. at 390; Kirkland, 209 Ga. at 825; 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. U92-9; 1984 Op. Att'y Gen. U84-20), the use of a particular parcel of property is ordinarily a question of fact which may require intervention of a court at an evidentiary hearing. Jonesboro Area Athletic Ass'n v. Dickson, 227 Ga. 513, 516 (1971). However, with respect to your inquiry, the status of the property in question, as proprietary or for the public use and benefit, is immaterial because it appears the city has express authority to convey the property regardless of its use. Specifically, Section 4 of the City Charter which you sent to me, relating to the city's "Corporate Powers," states, in pertinent part:
The corporate powers of the government of the City of Tifton, to be exercised by the governing authority, may include the following:
. . . .
(e) To acquire, dispose of and hold in trust or otherwise any real, personal or mixed property in fee simple or lesser interest inside or outside the property limits of the city.
(Emphasis added.)
Construing city charters containing language similar to the foregoing, the Georgia Supreme Court has consistently held that such provisions authorize a city to convey property which it holds for the public use and benefit. See Frazer v. City of Albany, 245 Ga. 399 (1980); McPherson v. City of Dawson, 221 Ga. 861 (1966). Compare Jonesboro Area Athletic Ass'n v. Dickson, supra; 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. U92-9. Further, I would note that the proposed inter-governmental transfer, as described in your letter, is exempt from the requirement of competitive bidding pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 36-37-6(e)(2)(D).
In summary, based on the limited information you have given me and the assumptions set forth above, it is my unofficial opinion that the City of Tifton may not transfer real property by deed of gift to the Tift County Recreation Department for recreational use but may transfer real property pursuant to a valid inter-governmental contract.

You might remember that I wrote a recent Ebay Madness column on Militia – THE SYBLING E.P. (1985) back in October. A couple of months ago this auction blew the roof off and ended at an insane $2550. So other copies were bound to show up…..
Militia – The Sybling E.P. (1985) sells for $1685
Seller: sambb2000
Country: Austin, Texas (USA)
Starting Price: 99 cents
Bids: 17
Like most copies of THE SYBLING E.P., this auction is from Texas. Militia was part of the underground Metal scene in Texas so it only makes sense for a few copies to be hanging around down there. This copy of THE SYBLING is unique in that it has one flaw…..water damage (see next picture) on the right side from the upper corner down.
I have to give the seller credit for being so detailed and reporting the water damage because some people might not considering the big bucks this goes for. As an added bonus, the seller will include a picture of Militia singer Mike Soliz holding this actual copy…..how's that for authenticity! It's still a lot of money and a crazy price…..I still wouldn't mind finding one, I would keep it for my collection!
Check out the other Ebay Madness column for links where you can get more information, buy a compilation with THE SYBLING on it or just listen to the record.

Fargo-Moorhead English tutoring program expands
A Fargo-Moorhead tutoring program that uses computer software to teach refugees how to speak and write English is expanding. Organizers say the program could become a national model.
Fargo-Moorhead Rotary clubs started "Project English" last year to help refugees learn English more quickly. They set up computers with the Rosetta Stone language software, and so far the program has helped 172 refugees learn English.
It's now expanded to eight locations around Fargo-Moorhead; the computers have been installed in schools, a public library, public housing, even a business that employs many refugees.
Heather Ranck, the coordinator of Project English, said for most refugees, using a computer is less intimidating than being in a classroom setting. And it's much easier to find volunteers who can help with the instruction.
"The average Joe or Jane doesn't know actual teaching methodology," said Ranck. "Rosetta Stone provides the structure, where you don't need to spend hours and hours preparing a curriculum. Volunteers ... don't even really need an orientation. It's just point and click."
About 2,500 refugees have settled in Fargo-Moorhead in the past 10 years, Ranck said, and most are from non-English speaking countries.
Tulasha Siwakoti, who came to Fargo from Bhutan in 2009, works at the Fargo Holiday Inn. The hotel provides a computer so she can study English before or after her shift.
"I know how to use computer, how to talk English, how to write application," she said.
Learning English helps Siwakoti to do things like pay bills and track her son's progress in school, she said.
When parents learn English alongside their children, it can also help maintain healthy family dynamics.
Since refugee children often pick up English more quickly than their parents, they start to feel as though they have more power within their family, according to Vonnie Sanders, who heads English Language Learners programs for the Fargo Schools, "and the parent has less. So these programs that provide opportunties for parents to learn alongside their kids really help to maintain that power structure."
An important benefit of the program is that volunteers who help teach English often become friends and advocates for the refugees, said Sanders.
Five Fargo-Moorhead Rotary Clubs contributed nearly $13,000 to launch Project English. Since the program began in March 2011, 143 volunteers have contributed 1,000 hours of their time. Rotary Club officials say they expect the program to expand beyond Fargo-Moorhead.

Here's my schematic (sorry for that - made in hurry) of current PID implementation for ACRO mode. Red - variables names.
1. comment says, that it takes into account the cycle time, but in fact, there's no such thing.
2. why there is 32-bit division?
Code: Select all
else error = ((int32_t)rcCommand[axis]<<6)/conf.P8[axis]
3. Why P8 is added to I component? also, see 4.
4. P8 for I component and P8dyn for P are in the feedback part of the loop, not the forward part. This means, that changing these variables would not only change the open loop gain, but would also alter the total system amplification (in this case - gyro scaling). I can't bear the fact, that when I increase P in GUI, the rate to stick position scaling is decreased. Is that done intentionally? I don't feel like it's a good thing.
5. When dynamic P adjustment takes place (P8dyn is decreased) the scaling for P and I component becomes different - they start to try maintaining the different rate values. I don't think that it helps. Initial idea was to change not the open loop gain (as well as I and D), but just change the scaling corresponding to the throttle, right?
Code: Select all
if (abs(gyroData[axis])>640) errorGyroI[axis] = 0;
7. D component doesn't take into account stick position at all. That's why it doesn't make the control sharper - it just tries to dampen fast angle changes of the body, and that's it.
I'm currently testing the rewritten version, where classic PID controller is implemented - P I and D are in the forward part of the loop, so no scaling problem present and other, supposedly, problems are fixed. But first I would like to hear the opinion, do I get it all right, or some/all of listed facts serve the useful purpose?
P.S. Forgot to say - "deltasum" includes difference calculation, moving average of 3 elements that code does and multiplication by dynD8

President George W. Bush is among the dignitaries who will pay tribute to pianist Van Cliburn at his memorial service on Sunday.
In 2003, Bush presented Van Cliburn The Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award that year. President Barack Obama honored Cliburn with the National Medal of Arts in 2010.
Cliburn died Wednesday at 78 after fighting bone cancer. He had played for every American president since Harry Truman, plus royalty and heads of state around the world.
The latest news from around North Texas.
He is best remembered for winning the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958, at the height of the Cold War.
According to the memorial service program, Van Cliburn's friend of long standing Thomas Smith, Texas Governor Rick Perry and Joseph W. Polisi, president of The Juilliard School will also pay tribute to Van Cliburn. Van Cliburn studied at Juilliard after graduating from Kilgore High School in Texas.
Family spokesman Tom Stoker says a funeral is scheduled for 3:00-5:00 p.m. Sunday at the Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, where Cliburn worshiped for decades. Entombment at the mausoleum at Greenwood Memorial Park will follow.

As you know, I make muffins all. the. damn. time. My bran muffins were always just slightly off. They were either a little too branny or not enough. Too moist or too dry.
Never again.
I have finally found the perfect ratios of
bran to wheat
baking powder to flour
wet to dry
banana to egg
I seriously recommend you book mark this recipe, that is, if you like bran muffins. 🙂
I couldnt decide if I wanted to make nutty banana bran muffins or dark chocolate banana bran muffins, so I made a batch of go-either-way batter and made both!
All you gotta do is make the batter and then divide it into however many bowls (corresponding to how many different flavors).
I divided my batter into two bowls. To one I added dark chocolate chips, and to the other I added ground (this is KEY) walnuts and almonds.
Recipe: Makes 10 muffins
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another. Pour the wet over the dry and stir with as few swoops as possible. Pour into a greased muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
Note: Soak your grains first! This is a good resource.
Dry ingredients –
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking soda
pinch salt
ground, toasted walnuts & almonds (if making the banana nut muffins only)
Wet ingredients –
2 large super ripe bananas
1 medium egg
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (if making the chocolate chip muffins only)
Bananas * High in potassium which helps the body eliminate excess salt and water (good for bloating)! Also help prevent muscular cramps and improve blood circulation. Bananas are high in zinc, which is key for healthy hair. They have also been linked to the prevention of stomach ulcers because they protect the stomach mucous layer. They are high in vitamins C and A, and phosphorus (which helps improve memory).
Wheat bran * contains TONS of iron, B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorous and antioxidants! 1 cup has 25 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein!
Whole wheat flour * when you choose white flour over whole wheat flour, you are losing over half of the B vitamins, fiber, folic acid, calcium, zinc, phosphorous, copper, and iron. Whole grains reduce your risk for diabetes and have also been linked to weight loss and maintaining a lower BMI.

We Try Hood's Latte Iced Coffee Lineup
If you're anything like us, your taste for iced coffee drinks doesn't disappear just because the leaves are starting to change color. You want your cold coffee, and it's even better if you don't have to make it yourself. Milk company Hood (well known for their flavored eggnogs) recently introduced a line of ready-to-serve Latte Iced Coffee Drinks, available across New England in Shaw's, Market Basket, and Hannaford stores.
All four of the flavors—Mocha, Mocha Light, Vanilla Latte, and Caramel Macchiato—have coffee as their primary ingredient, followed by nonfat milk, sugar, and cream. Each also includes disodium phosphate (a common food additive), and carrageenan, which is used for thickening, on top of natural and artificial flavors. The two Mochas contain cocoa as well.
These drinks might not be for folks who like their coffee unadulterated, but if you occasionally have a craving for a sweetened coffee drink, the Hood lineup is actually quite good. And at only $3.99 for a half-gallon, they're a bargain. Consider that Starbucks' bottled iced coffees go for half the price, and you get about 1/6 the volume. Each of the coffee drinks has a dessert-like sweetness, and none stood out as sweeter than the rest—if you tend to pour the sugar in your iced coffee, these cartons are for you.
Our first thought once the Mocha hit our tongue: chocolate milk, with coffee behind it. Although the coffee flavor is not quite as strong as we'd like, it's there, and it's good. Though this one is arguably the least complex of the flavors, it's actually our favorite.
Mocha Light
The "diet" flavor of the bunch, this one tastes very much like the regular version. Instead of 150 calories per one cup serving, it has only 100. Side by side, we really couldn't tell a difference between the two. To achieve the calorie drop, Hood added in acesulfame potassium and sucralose, both artificial sweeteners. There's the slightest hint of artificial sweetener aftertaste, but it's mostly covered up by the coffee, so we barely noticed it.
Vanilla Latte
Take the Mocha, swap out the cocoa for vanilla, and you have Vanilla Latte. It's definitely the vanilla—a combination of natural and artificial flavors—that hits you first, but the coffee blends well. It's perhaps the most artificial tasting of the group because of just how strong that vanilla is; it's a tricky flavor to do well.
Caramel Macchiato
No, it's not the traditional espresso with milk, but if you've ever had one of Starbucks' bottled Caramel Frappuccinos, this flavor will be very familiar. The caramel flavor is definitely there, and it lingers. It would be a little harder for us to drink a full glass of this one than any of the other flavors; don't get us wrong, we definitely would, though. It's still tasty.

The minute we are born the aging process begins. It's true, we have lots of growing to do and years of developing into adulthood before we consider ourselves as entrenched within the aging process, and from a certain perspective that is a legitimate point of view. However, our time on this planet is limited, and from that unique perspective, beginning from our birth we are moving continuously toward death – this is the larger aging process.
How do disabilities enter into the aging process and this week's Weekly Message? As you might deduce, the probability of developing a disability seems to increase as the aging process progresses. For example, if we all agree that the required use of a wheelchair is a form of disability (mobility disability), we might also all agree that we see many more elder folks in wheelchairs than people under the age of 65. So it would seem that as we age, the likelihood of incurring some form of disability also increases. We might conclude that with regard to disabilities, "the issue of disability for individuals…is not whether but when, not so much which one but how many, and in what combination." [I Zola. 1993. JDPS 4(2): 10-39].
In other words, as we age the chances of incurring a disability increases. And by some definitions of disability, we will all be classified as disabled.
So it would appear that aging and disabilities are inextricably and intrinsically linked. With that thought in mind, let me suggest that this week's Weekly Message is an introduction for a more in-depth look at how we perceive aging and disabilities, and how we also handle the treatment of both those concepts, in our social as well as political worlds.
Define aging and disability, then ask yourself: How does the medical field handle the treatment of a physical disability in a 70 year old versus the same condition in a 35 year old…And why?
To further complicate the issue, how does the governmental bureaucracy and its' vast medical wing offer treatments to each of these individuals? Lastly, we should define "disabled" in a more appropriate term for our care recipients; especially considering the idea of eventual disability for us all. Would that open up more potential funding sources for care?
The world is changing… Attitudes and approaches to aging, disabilities, and illnesses are also changing.

Boveresse Festival of Absinthe June 2007
June 2007 sees the 10th annual Absinthe Festival in Boveresse, Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe. If you haven't booked your accommodation yet, you may have problems unless you are willing to sleep on a distillery floor, or simply find a bar to drink the night away!
Here's a historic photo of the harvest in the Val-de-Travers many years ago:
Here's a photo from a recent festival (clue: the sun is shining)
and finally here's a photo of some celebrities from the world of absinthe at the Clandestine distillery as they take a few minutes out to watch Claude-Alain Bugnon at work.
No prizes are on offer, but if anyone wants to provide a caption for this photo, please go ahead and comment!
For further details of the June event, see the festival site.
Updated on June 13th: the timetable for the event.

Wow - this festival looks fascinating! I am quite intrigued... does it book up entirely?

That's not going to win the caption competition ... oh, it was a serious question!
Natalie, hotel accommodation is a problem at this stage. But if you don't mind staying 30 miles away, then it's no problem. Just don't drink and drive!
Otherwise, the options of drinking all night with some of the best informed absintheurs in the world, or sleeping on a distillery floor are still available.
You could probably justify a trip to this followed the next day by a trip to Vinexpo in Bordeaux (the biggest wine exhibition in the world).

The celebs? Ian (Liqueurs de France), Oxy (Fée Verte), Ted Breaux (Jade), Markus (absinthe.se).

slow domestic economy pushed the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the cash rate at its last meeting, but there's no indication that there are more cuts on the way.
In the minutes of its December 4 meeting, released on Tuesday, the RBA pointed to weaker performances in some parts of the economy as the main reason for cutting the cash rate by 0.25 per cent to three per cent.
Housing, retail and construction were named as areas of concern, but data relating to employment and wages were also significant.
"At the meeting, the information on labour costs and softening labour market conditions suggested the inflation outlook still afforded the board some scope to provide additional support to demand," the RBA minutes said.
HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham said the minutes did not illustrate a clear easing bias.
"It appears that it was quite a close call," he said.
"They note that they considered the case for not cutting.
"They seemed to have been pushed over the mark by the softening labour market and the slight softening in wages growth."
JP Morgan economist Tom Kennedy said the RBA had adopted a neutral tone for its final minutes of 2012.
He said the minutes suggested the inflation outlook, along with weakness in the non-mining sectors of the economy, prompted the December rate cut.
But he said the RBA had given no hint it was planning to cut rates again at its next meeting in February.
"In terms of forward-looking guidance there is nothing in there," he said.
He said the RBA would be looking closely at economic data in 2013 for signs of improvement in the economy.
"Rates are at a level which is approaching that neutral level so if the data picks up you could see rates remain on hold but if it continues to slide, rates could easily go lower."

You can watch it full below. Yahoo also has an article about the new movie with pictures and a place to comment if you like what you are seeing so far. "Make Your Move 3D will be released to theatres in the US on April 18th!! Note: Duane Adler is the director of "Make Your Move 3D". In case you didn't know, he also directed "Save the Last Dance" and the original "Step Up" movies which are so good if you've never seen them before. The film also features choreography from Emmy-award winning couple Napoleon and Tabitha D'umo from "America's Best Dance Crew" and "So You Think You Can Dance." Also note that Derek wrote some music for this movie. If you'd like to read more, visit Make Your Move Fans.
In other things on Derek this week, more news came out about a "Mystery" Project" that he is planning with his sister Julianne Hough. We think it might have something to do with an upcoming new tour called "MOVE" with the two, but, we aren't sure? Also, a new Ballroom With A Twist promo was released by he and Cheryl Burke. You can catch up on all of these news items and much more including a really touching fan review of the Dancing With The Stars At Sea Cruise at Pure Derek Hough. Too fun!!

For those of you looking for a last-minute dessert idea for your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, here is a molten chocolate cake that tastes every bit as fancy as the restaurant ones, but is easy enough to leave plenty of time for romance!
These beauties became a family tradition for us the first Valentine's Day after The Munchkin was born, when we weren't able to go out. This year we actually got a babysitter & get to go out for the first Valentine's Day since then, so I decided to make them tonight for Sunday Dinner so I could share the recipe with you. I'm sure that My Husband The Eater minded terribly.
I think I first got this from Kraft food&family magazine. This recipe yields 4 small cakes; you can easily halve it for just the two of you, or make the full recipe & save the other 2 to eat later (though they will be less molten). I won't judge you one bit…. since that's what we do every year.
- 4 (1 oz.) squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate (or for more richness, use 4 oz. of your favorite bittersweet chocolate)
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 Tbsp. flour
- whipped cream or ice cream, for serving
- Preheat your oven to 425. Butter or grease 4, 3/4-cup custard cups or souflee dishes. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Microwave chocolate & butter in a large microwaveable bowl on high 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir with a wire whisk until the chocolate is melted too.
- Stir in sugar with the whisk until well blended.
- Whisk in the eggs & egg yolks. Stir in flour.
- Divide the batter equally among prepared cups. Bake 13-14 minutes or until the sides are firm but the centers are still soft.
- Let stand 1 minute, then gently run a small knife around the cakes to loosen them. Carefully invert them onto dessert dishes & serve immediately with ice cream or whipped cream.
