Hmmm, 8000 isn't a very good value if that was the reasoning. Most jumboframe deployments are 9000 bytes end to end (based on Cisco's choice of supporting 9128 bytes at transit level, and Broadcom's 9000 bytes at the lower end), giving payloads of 8944 bytes (assuming IPv4 and TCP). Jumboframe deployments of 16k arn't uncommon (Most Intel kit supports 16k for example) either, though not on the Internet. -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: firstname.lastname@example.com

A forestry pilot noticed a large area of swamp land on fire just before noon Sunday, and alerted fire crews.
More than 30 firefighters responded from Greenbush, Passadumkeag, Milford, and Bradley.
The flames burned more than three acres of land off the Military Road, just north of Olamon Stream.
It took the crews more than six hours to put out the fire. They had to deal with fairly high temperatures while hauling equipment into a remote area.
Authorities think that a lightning strike may have caused the fire, but at this point are unsure.

Winner of the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award and finalist for the Governor General's Award: Children's Illustration
This moving sequel to the award-winning Shi-shi-etko tells the story of two children's experience at residential school. Shi-shi-etko is about to return for her second year, but this time her six-year-old brother, Shin-chi, is going, too.
As they begin their journey in the back of a cattle truck, Shi-shi-etko tells her brother all the things he must remember: the trees, the mountains, the rivers and the salmon. Shin-chi knows he won't see his family again until the sockeye salmon return in the summertime. When they arrive at school, Shi-shi-etko gives him a tiny cedar canoe, a gift from their father.
The children's time is filled with going to mass, school for half the day, and work the other half. The girls cook, clean and sew, while the boys work in the fields, in the woodshop and at the forge. Shin-chi is forever hungry and lonely, but, finally, the salmon swim up the river and the children return home for a joyful family reunion.

At first glance, Robert Mapplethorpe would appear to be an exception to the rule in that, even if his work includes celebrity portraiture - Andy Warhol, Patti Smith - he is best-known for his photographs of mostly anonymous sitters. Since his alone is the household name, and since the eclat of his talent is indisputable, surely he has been guaranteed everlasting tenure in posterity?
If it isn't as simple as that, it's because of the nature of his subject- matter. In a word, sex. Like some privileged creditor, sex always takes precedence. A naked penis by Lucian Freud is still primarily (just about) one element in a painting by Lucian Freud; when photographed, by even as brilliant a practitioner as Mapplethorpe, it abruptly reasserts its objective identity as a naked penis. It, rather than the quality of Mapplethorpe's "vision", is what our eyes are drawn to, and it would be absurd to pretend otherwise.
That fact, in itself, need not constitute an obstacle to posthumous fame. But what, for many, is shocking in Mapplethorpe's work is less the nudity as such than the unjudgmental depiction of violent sado-masochistic acts, invariably between males. Shocking, though, for how much longer? When one recalls that, at the turn of the last century, a glimpse of a well- turned ankle, as they used to say, was enough to provoke a sexual frisson, and when one then considers how far along that road we've already travelled, logic dictates that, as the new century unfolds, representations of sex will become graphic to a degree that we cannot currently imagine.
Heaven knows where it will all end - but, wherever it does, it's certain that even the raunchiest of Mapplethorpe's photographs are going to look unutterably tame by comparison.

Poor Little Rich Kids? The Determinants of the Intergenerational Transmission of Wealth
Sandra E. Black, Paul J. Devereux, Petter Lundborg, Kaveh Majlesi
NBER Working Paper No. 21409
Wealth is highly correlated between parents and their children; however, little is known about the extent to which these relationships are genetic or determined by environmental factors. We use administrative data on the net wealth of a large sample of Swedish adoptees merged with similar information for their biological and adoptive parents. Comparing the relationship between the wealth of adopted and biological parents and that of the adopted child, we find that, even prior to any inheritance, there is a substantial role for environment and a much smaller role for genetics. We also examine the role played by bequests and find that, when they are taken into account, the role of adoptive parental wealth becomes much stronger. Our findings suggest that wealth transmission is not primarily because children from wealthier families are inherently more talented or more able but that, even in relatively egalitarian Sweden, wealth begets wealth.

Practice Area: Litigation
Outcome: $1.5 million Verdict in Favor of Clients
Description: Represented three deputy prosecuting attorneys in gender discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims against the county. The jury unanimously found in favor of each of the three clients on all claims after 2+ weeks of trial. In addition to the verdicts which totalled approximately $1.5 million, the court awarded all attorneys' fees and costs, granting a multiplier of 1.5 for the quality of representation and the risk of the case for a total supplemental award of approximately $1.5 million. The county appealed and lost on all issues and ultimately paid approximately $3.4 million to resolve the matter with additional fees on appeal and interest.

Morning Gold Market Report for 2/14/2011
Compiled 02/14/11 6:00 AM (CT) Statistics: London Gold Fix $1356.75 -$2.25 LME Copper Stocks 401,775 tons +5,050 tons GOLD MARKET FUNDAMENTALS: (6:00 AM CST) The April gold contract comes into the new trading week sitting in the lower quarter of the Friday trading range. The market will not be presented with regularly scheduled US economic data today but the trade will be looking ahead to some FOMC meeting minutes later this week. The situation in Egypt doesn't appear to be markedly changed over the weekend, with the military apparently giving some concessions to the protestors. Indian gold action was mixed to slightly weaker, leaving the US to set the tone for the new trading week. The gold market was seeing some detrimental currency market action early today but that outside market impact was at least partially offset by initial gains in silver and platinum prices. At this point, it is unclear how gold will react to the US Budget process directly ahead which seems to be facing a debate over the pace of the initial spending cuts. Comex Gold Stocks were 11.300 million ounces down 38,589 ounces. Comex Gold stocks are at the lowest in the past 10 readings. The Commitments of Traders Futures and Options report as of February 8th for Gold showed Non-Commercial traders were net long 191,281 contracts, an increase of 20,575 contracts. The Commercial traders were net short 235,975 contracts, an increase of 21,326 contracts. The Non-reportable traders were net long 44,695 contracts, an increase of 752 contracts. Non-Commercial and Non-reportable combined traders held a net long position of 235,976 contracts. This represents an increase of 21,327 contracts in the net long position held by these traders. OUTSIDE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS: (6:00 AM CST) While equity markets in Asia and Europe were generally higher during overnight trading, early indications are for the US stock market to open near unchanged levels this morning. The Dollar is moderately higher against most of the major currencies during overnight trading, although losing ground against the Yen. Events in Egypt have calmed down since the resignation of President Mubarak late last week, but other nations in the region have begun to see protests. Euro zone Finance Ministers are meeting today to discuss the mechanics of their rescue fund. There are reports that a major German savings bank is having problems with putting together a restructuring plan. The Chinese Trade surplus during January was $6.5 billion, lower than expectations and due mainly to a 51% jump with imports over last year's levels. Japanese GDP during the fourth quarter of 2010 was down 0.3%, a smaller decline than expected. Euro zone Industrial Production during December was down 0.1%, a smaller decline than forecasts. There are no major US economic numbers to be released this morning. However, Fed regional President Dudley will give a speech during the session.

Hong Kong shares lifted by banks, property; mainland shares slip
* HSI +0.9 pct, H-shares +0.9 pct, CSI300 -0.1 pct
* Central bank support lifts mainland, HK property stocks
* Tencent volatile ahead of earnings
By Natalie Thomas and Grace Li
BEIJING, May 14 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares hit a three-week high on Wednesday as investors snapped up property and banking stocks after China's central bank urged mainland banks to speed up the granting of home loans.
The news also lifted China property stocks, though gains were not enough to bring the two main indexes in Shanghai into positive territory, as investors sold off beverage and energy heavyweights.
By midday, the Hang Seng Index was up 0.9 percent at 22549.44 points. The China Enterprises Index of the top Chinese listings in Hong Kong also gained 0.9 percent.
The CSI300 index of the largest Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listings was down 0.1 percent, while the Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.2 percent at 2047.36 points.
China's central bank asked commercial banks on Monday to speed up the granting of home loans and to set mortgage rates at reasonable levels, four sources told Reuters on Tuesday. Continuación...

Our Favorite Preschool Apps
One of the trickier realities of life with a lot of children is that sometimes siblings have to wait for each other during various classes, lessons, and events. My little guys get taken to plenty of field trips and other places which don't exactly appeal to them, and during which I need to keep them at least content.
We've never been big on gaming around here, knowing there are plenty of better ways to fill a young person's time. But BOY HOWDY do I love a few apps on my iPhone, pulled out and handed over to the 3-year-old at just the right moment (pre-meltdown). Here are some of our favorites, just in case you find yourself in a similar situation every now and again:
Pretty much is what its name implies. Little fingers start on the crab and follow the numbers to write letters, then shake the tumbling star block into the corner to get to the next letter.
Paper Town
Paper dolls in an age of digital art. I've caught a few of my older kids putting these cute characters together, too. You know who you are.
Angry Birds
Everyone likes Angry Birds. My kids demolish me every time.
Hmmmm. I've never seen anything quite so elaborate created by my kids on Doodle Buddy, but the ability to use your finger and doodle all over this app makes it immediately appealing.
Flash Cards
Lovely little free app from Parents Magazine. Great guilt absolver as it makes me feel as if we're actually pulling off preschool for the day.

According to a Simon Guerrier quote in the issue, Lidster included a reference to Guerrier's "badger pirates" in the blog, and Guerrier reciprocated with a mention of Martha writing her blog in The Pirate Loop. The blog is therefore deemed to be a part of the narrative of The Pirate Loop, and, by extension, series 3 as a whole.

In recent years, a spate of no-waste markets have popped up across Europe. In cities like Berlin, Vienna and Barcelona, shop owners have a simple philosophy: Pre-empt waste from bags and packages by simply not offering them. Now the trend is heading across the ocean.

NAM Implications:
- Given the 80% reduction in plastic carrier-bag usage following the imposition of a 5p charge in the UK, this anti-waste initiative could be very successful…
- Adding to the 'making do' tendencies of savvy consumers in response to austerity moves in the market.

Talk:Pokémon outbreak
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
I'm under the impression that people in the same group will have swarms on the same day. Can anyone confirm this?
- Well, um, one of my friends and I had superheavy rain on Route 212 on the same day, and we're in the same group. TTEchidna 13:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Superheavy rain? Same group? What do you mean? File:Ani164MS.gifShiny?! 13:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, people in the same group experience the same Swarms. We've taken advantage of this several time to let each other know if we run into a swarm the other might be interested in. --Phred 04:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Superheavy rain? Same group? What do you mean? File:Ani164MS.gifShiny?! 13:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay, this is enough...
Is Tangela a swarmer or not? Is Tropius in the Safari Zone or not? Seriously. TTEchidna 13:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- No they aren't. Check veekun. Veekun's data is taken straight from the games, so it's guaranteed to be correct. File:Ani164MS.gifShiny?! 13:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article also cover swarming in the GSC games and the RSE games as well? Because I distinctly remember getting calls of certain Pokémon from certain people in GSC and seeing news coverages in RSE. - PDL
- Yeah, I think the same... swarms DO exist in previous games, althought not in the same way they do in D/P. My cousin, who has Sapphire mixed records with my brother (who has Ruby) and then a TV report was saying that there was a Seedot swarm on Route 114, which obviously was strange, cause Seedot can't be caught in Sapphire. I think there should be info added on this too. hfc2X 20:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, this happened to me too. You're the first one, excluding me of course, who I know having a Seedot swarm. This happened to me, though, without any recent link cable activity. UltimateSephiroth 12:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Should this article have the information on swarms from HGSS? --DSDark 15:49, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Mass Outbreak
Hayley refers to Swarms as a "Mass Outbreak". Should the article be moved to this? -Sketchies 12:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Alternative Advanced Courses
Each Annual Conference may approve additional classes for its own use. Alternative Advanced Courses fit these guidelines:
- The subject is in line with courses currently in the Lay Servant Ministries catalog.
- The content fits the theme of leading, caring, and communicating.
- The course will benefit the lay servant for use in the local church.
- The course must provide at least 10 hours of instruction.
- The course is participatory and led by a facilitator qualified in the subject.
Please note--To receive credit for an Alternative Advanced Course, you MUST:
- Contact your District Director(s) of Lay Servant Ministries PRIOR to attending the event for approval and to obtain the required Alternative Advanced Course Form.
- Take the form to the event and obtain the instructor's signature at the end of the course.
- Upon completion of the course and your portion of the form, return the completed form to your District Director to receive credit.
NOTE: An alternative advanced course may only be used every other time for continuing education credit. Not every course offered in the Conference will count as an alternative advanced course, which is why prior permission is necessary.
Prior permission is NOT required to take a regular Advanced Course outside of your home District.
Opportunity #1
Title: Walking with Jesus in the Wesleyan Spirit
Dates: Sept. 23-24, 2016; Nov. 12, 2016; Jan. 21, 2017; and Apr. 22, 2017 (all four sessions required)
Other Opportunities
Course of Study Extension School Modules
Lay Servants may audit any of the Weekend Part-time Local Pastor Course of Study (Extension School) modules held at the United Methodist Center. For more information go to the Extension School web site at http://www.igrcos.com and contact Director,
Rev. Kenneth Hutchens or by phone at 217-390-1566.
You will also need to contact your District Director of Lay Servant Ministries for approval and required attendance form (a link to their e-mail address can be found on the main Lay Servant Ministries page).
Please note--this option requires a larger time and financial commitment than traditional Lay Servant Ministries courses.

My research leaves me confused. My Henckel 10" chef's knife has been my workhorse for almost 30 years. I cook at my gourmet B&B and prior to that cooked in professional kitchens for about 12 years, which is when I bought my Henckels. The tip just broke off my chef's knife and I'm looking to replace it. I understand the Henckels are no longer the best and looking at the Messermeister Meridian Elite or the Victorinox. While I like the sharpness of a thinner blade, I'm concerned it could chip (read that somewhere) and afraid I'll miss the weight of my Henckel. Also looking for a knife that will keep a good edge. Not looking to spend $200 or more, but want a knife I'll be happy with for a long time. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

You're a used to a tough, soft stainless. Victorinox, Henckels-Zwilling, Burgvogel-Messermeister, Wüsthof, all use the same steel by Krupp. We aren't going to change that. It's almost impossible to have it chip: it will roll, fold, whatever you imagine, but never chip. Hard steel may chip, German soft stainless never will.
You're used to a neutral or handle heavy balance. Rock-chopping alot I guess.
Have a new Wüsthof or Zwilling. A thin Victorinox will feel much lighter than you're used to.

This knife would be similar to the Vic in weight, but I think I real revelation to you in terms of their cutting ability, and the price is not too far out. Coming from Jon it will have a beautifully convexed grind for good food release (food sticks to a Vic like a suction cup) and also will be thin at the edge. Significantly better edge retention but it won't chip. The handle is infinitely more comfortable than a Vic, unless you power-sand it to a better shape. A lot more than a Vic but also a lot of knife for the money. Looks like it will even rock-chop a bit. It is also a significant step up from the Fujiwara which gets a lot of recommendation for value around $100.
You may like a MAC Pro even better as it's heavier, but then you're well over $200.

No more "Canadian peso", says finance minister
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Friday he sees no return to the days of the "Canadian peso", saying the strong currency reflects confidence in the country's economy.
"Business people I've met here certainly share the view -- small business people and big business people -- that the Canadian dollar is not likely to go back to the days of being relatively cheap vis a vis the U.S. dollar. We're done with the Canadian peso," Flaherty told reporters in Vancouver where he was holding pre-budget consultations.
Flaherty said he will present his next budget in March and hopes it will not trigger an election for the minority Conservative government. He will listen to the opposition's requests if they are "good ideas," he said.

Recently I wrote about gender stereotyping around kids' products following the hoo-ha around nine-year-old Grayson Bruce's My Little Pony lunchbox. Grayson, if you're reading this, I hope you're using your colourful horsie lunchbox again, and I'm afraid that you'll have to continue dealing with this rubbish until you grow up. And annoyingly, gender stereotyping carries on well into our adult lives. Just look at all of the tech products made in small, pink versions so that us little ladies can cope with them.
The latest gender-stereotyping ad to take the notions of equality, modernity and sensitivity and chuck them in the bin is by hair-removal dimwits Veet. They've just engaged in some classic and insulting fearmongery to hawk a few more products over in the States.
In order to make some hair-free dollars, they told their audience to wax or shave or "risk dudeness". If you don't look like a conventional woman, say Veet, you must look like a man, which is stupid to the point of odd. One scene showed a man waking up next to his lover, transformed into a man after not waxing. Both are horrified. Homophobia – tick! Then a taxi driver refuses to take a female passenger because she hasn't shaved. Is that the criteria these days? What a mission. I think I'll stick to the bus.
The ad received acres of criticism on Veet's Facebook page and their response was laced with recalcitrance. "Not everyone shares our sense of humour," they sniffed, possibly whilst trying to hail a taxi with their smooth legs.
Veet, like much of the beauty industry, aren't just reinforcing outdated standards for women. They're missing a rather large point – that men get stuff done too. They just don't tell anyone about it. Men get waxed and shave and even have laser hair removal. Some blokes are more sensitive about their body hair than some women I know. They also use make-up and face masks. Meanwhile many women are opting out of hair removal altogether. There are no gender boundaries when it comes to personal appearance these days. Veet, where did you hold your focus groups for your advert? The 1950s?
Beauty products should make us feel better, not worse. The sooner that the likes of Veet drop their outdated gender agenda, the better. They might want us to look like Barbie but they forget – Ken is just as smooth.Reuse content

Please join the Communicative Sciences and Disorders department in welcoming Assistant Professor Fan Cao as our newest faculty member. Over the holidays, she has been on campus and busy setting up her office and lab.
"We are excited to have Fan join our department," said Rahul Shrivastav, Chair of the Communicative Sciences and Disorders department. "She brings a unique set of expertise to our academic program that will greatly benefit our students and faculty. She will contribute greatly to the teaching, research and outreach missions of the department."
Cao's research interests include developmental cognitive neuroscience, educational neuroscience, neural basis of language development and disorders, cross-language differences in reading development and disorders, and neural basis of second language learning in children and adults. She is studying how different interventions help improve the reading abilities of children with dyslexia.
Her work has been published in some of the top journals in the field and was the lead researcher for a study published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, titled "High Proficiency in a Second Language is Characterized by Greater Involvement of the First Language Network: Evidence from Chinese Learners of English." She also was the lead researcher on a study examining the hypothesis that learning to write Chinese characters influences the brain's reading network for characters. That study, "Writing Affects the Brain Network of Reading in Chinese: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study," was published in Human Brain Mapping.
Cao received her Ph.D. from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University in 2009, and her master's and bachelor's degrees in psychology from Beijing Normal University in Beijing, China. She did her post-doctoral training at the Learning Research and Development Center at the University of Pittsburgh.
Before coming to MSU, she was an Assistant Professor in Psychology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
"I am very excited to join MSU and look forward to starting my career here," Cao said. "I am very proud to become a Spartan."Share via these networks:

It's no secret that former Texas Congressman Ron Paul is no great fan of the Federal Reserve, nor of pretty much any other arm of the government.
That said, listening carefully to his thoughts about the U.S. central bank may prove instructive. The libertarian firebrand's remarks encapsulate some of the unspoken qualms many hold about the state of the American economy and her equity markets.
In an interview with CNBC's "Futures Now," last week, Paul reiterated his deep skepticism about the Fed and its loose money policies.
"After 35 years of a gigantic boom market in bonds believe me they cannot reverse history and they cannot print money forever," Paul said.
Read MoreCiti economist: Fed is too chicken to hike rates
The central bank has limits in what it can do to support growth, Paul said—meaning disaster may lie just around the corner.
"It's the fallacy of economic planning through monetary policy that's at fault," the former Congressman said, adding that monetary policy decisions have "nothing to do with freedom and free markets and capitalism and sound money. It's all artificial, it's all political and that's why we're so vulnerable."
Despite record highs in the market, former Rep. Ron Paul says the Fed's easy money policies have left stocks and bonds are on the verge of a massive collapse.
"I am utterly amazed at how the Federal Reserve can play havoc with the market," Paul said on CNBC's "Futures Now" referring to Thursday's surge in stocks. The S&P 500 closed less than 1 percent off its all-time high. "I look at it as being very unstable."
In Paul's eyes, "the fallacy of economic planning" has created such a "horrendous bubble" in the bond market that it's only a matter of time before the bottom falls out. And when it does, it will lead to "stock market chaos."
After a torrid run from its bottom, crude oil has settled into the tightest range we've seen in a year. But according to one highly regarded technician, the commodity is heading into a key inflection point.
"If you look back to 1984, you see that [the summer months] are some of the best times of the year to be invested in oil," technical analyst Ari Wald said Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now."
Ever so gently, sparingly and delicately, the long-awaited "Great Rotation" may finally be upon Wall Street.
Like a shadowy urban legend, the 'rotation' phenomenon, which describes a mass shift of money out of bonds and into stocks, never quite has the impact many analysts warn about.
Although in 2014 the trend was clear—the S&P 500 Index rose alongside bond prices—until very recently, very much the opposite has transpired. The price of the US 10-year Treasury note had fallen by 3 percent, while the S&P 500 rose less than 2 percent.
The open question is the extent to which this has been driven by investors fleeing bonds in favor of equities. And, further, whether investors will begin to pursue such a strategy en masse.
Such a move has long been hypothesized (and memorably encapsulated in a Dickensian Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysis). The idea holds that investors would eventually embrace risk, and become less satisfied with low bond returns as the economy recovered and the Federal Reserve tightened policy. That didn't exactly happen, with the 10-year yield managing to stay below 3 percent.
But in 2015, just when the meme appeared to disappear from the market's radar, it may actually be coming to pass. Last week, investors yanked nearly $6 billion out of global funds, the largest such outflow in nearly 2 years.
The bond and equity markets are forging "a whole new personality completely," commented Jim Iuorio, a Chicago-based trader with TJM Institutional Services.
Whereas stocks had been responding positively to low yields—meaning that bond prices (which move inversely to yields) enjoyed a positive correlation with stocks—now the specter of rising rates is causing "big, huge chunks of money to exit bonds and look for a new home. And since stocks are still a reasonable place to be, they end up in stocks."
Similarly, Nicholas Colas of Convergex observed in a Friday note that "at the moment, the volatility in fixed income markets is pushing the marginal investment dollar into equity products."
That would be the fear-based interpretation. The more optimistic read is that in the longer-run, yields and stocks are rising together because the American economy is improving.
As the economy heats up, so too should inflation, which means investors must demand greater yields on their bonds in order to avoid losing money on a "real returns" basis. Last week, producer prices jumped to their highest in nearly 3 years, boosted by surging food and gas prices.
Inflation, of course, stings consumers, who end up paying more for the same amount of goods. However, stocks respond positively to profit-boosting growth that many companies see in an environment of rising prices.
One top technical analyst sees more downside risk than upside reward for the S&P 500 in the months ahead.
Matt Maley, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, is worried about how the index has behaved over the past six months. Particularly, Maley notes that the S&P 500 has tested its 100-day moving average repeatedly before rallying up to what he sees as an upward-sloping resistance line.
"The problem is when we rally and break to new highs, which we've done several times, each time it's only a slight break of 1 percent or so," he said. "Although it's kind of an upward-sloping channel there, my concern is that we haven't been able to break out in a significant way."
The S&P 500 staged a midday rebound on Tuesday, saving the index from its fourth straight day of losses. And that bounce could be the start of a prolonged move higher for stocks, according to BTIG technician Katie Stockton.
"Today is certainly encouraging," Stockton said Tuesday on CNBC's "Futures Now." "You can't call one day a reversal, but to the extent that we could see the S&P futures hold support at 2,075, that's a good thing, that's a positive. Usually the oversold bounce takes a few days to develop."
Indeed, Stockton believes that the market has become "oversold."
"If you look at where [the S&P futures] are trading today, there is some short-term support that's being tested. So this would be a natural place for additional buyers to come into the market," Stockton said.
After oil prices fell sharply, commodities sage Dennis Gartman said he sees the possibility for even lower prices.
WTI crude oil closed at $58 per barrel Thursday on expectations OPEC will keep its output at 30 million barrels a day. But even at that pace, Gartman said, there simply is too much supply. He spoke a day before OPEC on Friday decided to maintain current production levels.
Read MoreOPEC agrees to maintain production limit: Saudi oil minister
"There's plenty more crude oil being found all around the world. I think it's going to be very difficult to push WTI much beyond $65 maybe $66," Gartman said Thursday on CNBC.com's "Futures Now."
The transports could soon drive the market sharply lower, warns one top technician.
On CNBC's "Futures Now" on Tuesday, Wall Street legend Louise Yamada said that the divergence that is happening between the Dow Jones transportation average and the Dow Jones industrial average could mean a steep correction in the very near future.
"It's the concept of 'Dow Theory' in which the companies that make the products and the companies that transport them are supposed to move in tandem," said Yamada, founder of Yamada Technical Advisors. "Most of the time they do, but the transports have broken support and now we are seeing a kickback into that resistance." The transports are down 8 percent this year while the industrials are up 1 percent in the same period.
Although recent price action suggests otherwise, a slow-burning geopolitical situation in the South China Sea may yet become a flashpoint for market volatility.
The U.S. is talking tough in the face of mounting evidence of Chinese land grabs and military movements near its neighbors, and Beijing is defiant. The threat of a confrontation between the world's two largest economies hasn't registered on traders' radars, that may change, some say.
"Market mentality has a tendency toward complacency, and right now, geopolitical risk is nowhere on the radar screen. That could be a major mistake," Chicago-based trader Jim Iuorio warned.
"The developments in China seem to be moving in one direction, and although they may not seem to be a problem now, that could change quickly," he added.
The topic also found its way into the somewhat rambling remarks last week of former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld.
Read MoreLehman's Fuld: No one thing caused the crisis
The disgraced executive, whose firm's collapse hastened the 2008 financial crisis, folded the conflict into a laundry list of geopolitical worries for stocks. These included Russia's military encroachments, and the threat of a nuclear Iran.
David Stockman has a stark warning for the world: Stocks and bonds are on the verge of a catastrophic collapse.
On CNBC's "Futures Now" Thursday, the former OMB Director said that excessive monetary policy has forced central banks all over the world into a corner, and as a result, "the markets are going to be in for a huge, nasty morning after as people begin to look at where we really are."
Stockman questioned the real strength of the economy, noting that despite the fact that the U.S. is in the midst of one of the "longest expansion or recovery periods we've had in the post-war period," we're currently in month 78 of zero interest rates. By his logic, the market has become far too dependent on the Fed.

4.8 of 5 stars
I enjoyed nearly all of my classes at Michigan. There was quite a mix of class formats to choose from--e.g., seminar, mini-seminar, large "traditional" classes, clinics, etc. I benefited from all types and would recommend that approach to other students as well.I found the faculty to be extremely accessible and willing to help me in my day-to-day as well as my future endeavors---whether that might be finding a clerkship, searching for a summer position, or dealing with personal challenges.
I loved Ann Arbor and enjoyed living off-campus all 3 years. The whole town centers around the university which results in a nice atmosphere.
I believe that Michigan's admissions process is truly unique. They go past the seemingly all important, but yet of relatively little value, LSAT scores. The result is a very diverse, interesting, down-to-earth, and incredibly intelligent group of students. I learned not only from my professors but also from my peers. I was impressed at the incredible backgrounds of my peers--doctors, pharmacists, scientists, athletes, parents, artists, ....Impressive scholarships are also offered which helps add to the mix of students.

5.0 of 5 stars
very theoretical in the standard instruction, however there are amazing clinical options for the practical side. There is a mix of Socratic and other teaching. Grading is similar to other schools, but not gold stars like the Yales of the word.
Highish cost of living, but you are 1 minutes from the school. Ann Arbor is amazing! No crime, amazing cultural opportunities ranging from Shakespeare to midnight showings of The Room. Also, the new building and Lawyers Club upgrades should make this the most modern, yet beautiful campus in America.
very standard application process
As a 1L, classes were all theory. However, on the whole, profs still managed to connect theory with practical hypos. Incredible first-year legal writing program. The curve is no different here than at other top law schools. Large, survey first-year courses, but next semester as 2L I am going to be in several classes of 60 or less students (one class only has 15). It is competitive and supportive at the same time. I respect and am continually impressed by my professors, even moreso by my peers.
The school's facilities are gorgeous; Ann Arbor is safe and fairly inexpensive; and it is a great, supportive community of students.
The "Why Michigan?" essay is unique to Michigan Law's application process. For me, the whole process felt very personal and I felt like I was being assessed in a holistic manner. Admissions office was very responsive to my needs.
4.5 of 5 stars
The intellectual environment generally at Michigan Law is rigorous, stimulating, and ultimately very rewarding. Classes adhere to the Socratic method and engage students with the difficult nuances and complexities found within the foundational legal doctrine. The 1L year was intense but I have learned a great deal about myself and the law already in my time at the Law School.
The campus and student life is vibrant in Ann Arbor and the resources and opportunities are extensive at this great public university. It's a nice combination of down-to-earth college town with the opportunities of a world-class institution.
The admissions process was holistic, taking account of a number of factors and not automatically cutting people out of the process. It also gave a number of options for personal essays and was tailored to individual applicants with a focus on what unique qualities and abilities he or she would contribute to the diversity and academic community of the Law School.
4.7 of 5 stars
There is a nice variety of classes; the only class that's really lacking is a robust statutory interpretation/legislation class, and the admin professors are not great.
Unbelievably accessible and pretty and a great way to get to know other students.
I don't know if there's anything particularly unique; the school gives out Darrow Scholarships (full and half tuition merit scholarships) for exceptionally qualified applicants and also gives our other scholarships with more limtied criteria.
The structure of the classes varies based upon the content of the course.Doctrinal courses tend to be more Socratic.While the style of the classes has varied, the quality of the instruction is consistently high.Faculty are highly recognized in their respective fields and accessible to students.Students interest in research have ample opportunity, encouragement and support (including a Student Research Roundtable)
Cost are about a high as one would expect around a large research university.Whatever you want your life to be, you can find it.I live very close to campus and feel secure in an around campus.
1) Other than the standard Personal Statement and Resume, Michigan also asks for applicants to submit 2 optional essays from a list of 7 topics provided by the admissions office.2) Apart from these essays, the factors in selection are the same - LSAT, GPA, Work Experience, Extra-curricular activities.3) Scholarship notices are sent a few months into the admissions process to admitted students. Usually they are awarded on a pretty straightforward formula based on GPA and LSAT.4) 14-20 Darrow Scholarships are awarded every year which are basically full rides. Dean Zearfoss sends out emails to a select number of students out of whom the Darrow scholars are chosen. These students then submit additional essays and a committee comprising members of the faculty select the final recipients of the scholarship.
Emphasis on theory; Socratic method is mainly used; class size for 1L classes was 90.
Cost of living is relatively expensive for most incoming students, but Ann Arbor is a very good city with lots to offer to each type of person.
LSAT and application.
1L classes are very very intriguing and you learn a ton just from other classmates and their experiences in life.Michigan is not competitive really at all. There are a few students that are, but they are a minority of students and they learned pretty quickly in the first semester that it is not cool at all to be that way. I mean, there are gunners (for sure), but again everyone knows who they are and it definitely got a little better 2nd semester.Grading is typical -- curve for the first year classes (curve is to a B+).
Lawyers Club is great for the first year. Even after working and living in New York City for four years after undergrad and before law school, I still enjoyed the Lawyers Club and found it very comforting to have that living option.Library is great... it's the library, I don't know what to say. You can study there with ease and it's nice.Crime and safety aren't issues, it's Ann Arbor.
Typical Top 10 admissions process in terms of LSAT scores, personal statement, resume, etc. I would say the most unique part of the application process at Michigan versus other schools I got into is the personal and fun nature of Dean Zearfoss, which shines throughout everything Michigan. From her blog, to the letters sent by admissions, and they various city tours, it just makes you want to learn more about the school.
The Socratic method is used predominantly in first year courses. While it is also used in larger elective classes (such as Evidence and Jurisdiction), many students opt for seminar-like courses in their second and third year. These seminars have a smaller number of students and allow for more theoretical and creative class discussions. The available courses range widely. Because there is such a wide array of courses, students often complain that they don't have enough time to take all of the courses they're interested in. For this reason, many students have trouble deciding whether they have the time to study abroad. While appealing, it limits the number of interesting courses one can fit into their short three years. By far, the best and possibly most popular courses are the clinical programs that range from Human Trafficking to Immigration, Juvenile Justice and General Litigation.
As a first-year student, I recommend living in the law quad. Aside from being close to classes and the dining hall, it's critical to be surrounded by a network of fellow first year law students. This way, it is easier to integrate yourself into the law school community, create study groups, and feel part of group of scholars. The facilities are perfectly adequate. Like most dorms, laundry is difficult (all washers and dryers are stored in one location which requires students to walk across the quad with their laundry). The location is central, a stones throw away from the undergrad facilities, restaurants, coffee houses, etc. With that being said, law students are very territorial and tend not to stray far from the law quad. The first year of law school, while difficult, was also somehow the most fun. I attribute this in part to the student body and in part to the community.

"That's the thing that really drew me to the labor movement," says Roy Houseman, a current Missoula councilman and former president of the United Steelworkers Local (USW) 885.
Houseman's first lesson in how organized labor works came soon after he went to work at Smurfit Stone in 2005. The company shorted him holiday pay that first summer. Houseman talked to his union steward, and the steward ensured he was paid.
Unified workers have more pull, Houseman says. They also make more money, on average, earning $2.23 more per hour than non-unionized counterparts in Montana.
But for a variety of reasons, organized labor's message isn't resonating in the private sector today. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), union membership has slid significantly during the past 20 years. In 1989 (the earliest year BLS has on record), 17.8 percent of Montana's workforce belonged to unions. Last year, membership comprised just 13.9 percent.
Meanwhile, according to the BLS, wages compared to inflation have stayed flat for at least the past decade. Earnings actually decreased 1.3 percent between 2008 and 2009. That same time period marked an increase in productivity of 2.9 percent.
"One can look at any state in the union and, where union representation is declining, wages are flattening," says Williams. "In those sectors where union is increasing, wages are climbing. And benefits are improving. So it's a direct cause relationship. That's the most critical economic boost that Montana could possibly get."
Mark Anderlik isn't going down without a fight. The organizer says he traveled 20,000 miles last year trying to grow Montana's unions.
"We're scrappy. Let's put it that way," he says.
Anderlik devotes much of his time to simply encouraging people to stand up for themselves. Whether it's verbal abuse from an employer or forced overtime, workers don't have to take it. Empowering people gives him the greatest pride.
"Every day we've got little victories," Anderlik says. "That's really the heart and soul of what unions are about."
But little victories have been hard to come by recently because organizers regularly run up against well-funded opposition. He asserts companies in Montana regularly break federal labor laws to keep unions out of the workplace. It's not tough to find examples. For instance, in January, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which investigates allegations of unfair labor practices, accused DirecTV of firing an employee for attempting to unionize its Missoula call center.
"DirecTV, that's a classic example," Anderlik says.
The company settled two days before the case went to trial. As part of the settlement, the terminated worker received nine months of back pay totaling $21,056. The agreement absolved DirecTV of violating the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and mandated the company post notices stating that federal law gives employees the right to unionize.
"What employer is going to go, 'Hmm, well, that's tough'?" Anderlik asks. "There's no downside for them to do this."
According to the NLRB, last year the public filed 22,943 charges alleging that employers or labor organizations committed unfair labor practices that adversely affected employees.
"That's documented," says Anderlik, "so the [actual number of] incidents is probably way higher."
The statistics are part of the reason Anderlik and other organized labor groups are pushing for the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier to unionize workplaces. The legislation, now in Congress, would also increase penalties imposed on companies found violating the labor law.
That's just a start. Anderlik estimates that someone is fired roughly every hour in this country for union-related activities, making an already difficult job of recruitment that much harder.
"People are so scared of losing their jobs,'" he says, "even though it's against the law."
Jim McGarvey grew up surrounded by the state's labor movement. From his childhood home on North Main Street in Butte, he could hear mine elevator doors crashing throughout the night. He joined the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers at age 15, making a living as a laborer on highway projects before he earned a teaching degree from Carroll College.
"Back then there was a lot of opportunity for young kids to work union jobs," says McGarvey, now 67. "I made good money. The union was very good to me. I didn't know there was any other way."
McGarvey says that while organizing in the private sector is an uphill battle, unions are successfully making gains among government employees.
"People would like you to think we're dying on the vine, our membership," he says, noting that in the public sector, at least, that's not true.
The AFL-CIO has 38,000 active union members, and 23,000 of them are government employees. That's the highest AFL-CIO membership in Montana history, according to McGarvey, who is the union's executive secretary.
The hardscrabble union man takes pride in the numbers. He says he and MEA-MFT president Eric Feaver have brought in a record number of teachers, health care workers and state and local employees. Since 1980, they've grown from 7,334 members to 17,550 today.
McGarvey and Feaver attribute much of the growth to aggressively putting boots on the ground and offering a valuable product. But McGarvey also says there are significant differences between public and private unionizing.
For instance, private industry is more capable and willing to mobilize resources to subvert union activity, McGarvey says. Another big difference is oversight. In Montana, a state labor board oversees public workplace grievances. That makes the ramifications of union busting more immediate.
"The labor board isn't in Denver or Seattle or someplace across the country," he says. "The labor board is right here in Montana."
Another hurdle for private sector unions is elected officials, says McGarvey. He points out that until recently not one contractor working on the massive Superfund cleanup in Butte Silver-Bow County is union. In light of the area's history, he finds that offensive.
"At one time," he says, "you would have never had a situation in Butte where legislators slept through the fact that it wasn't union people doing the work, where their forefathers had died...to get unions.
"You know," he continues, "a corporation, they want to make money, and they don't want to pay good salaries, and they don't care about safety. But when government officials allow—and this is what's happening—all that cleanup work, with not one union job, Butte legislators ought to be ashamed of themselves."
During the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) annual May Day celebration this year gathered at Caras Park. As they arrived, bewildered shoppers looked up to see people in hard hats and overalls pushing a soggy cardboard boat dubbed the "Lady Ann Magee II."
"We'll get boats, toys, all you have to do is work," shouted IWW's Jay Bostrom from the boat's rickety helm.

|Accessing Array element while iterating through Map
|Mon, 14 Jun 2004 17:29:20 GMT
I am trying to iterate through a Map and use the key from the map to access an element in a separate array. I have an array of data points and only want to display the entries that are specified in a separate Map. Here is a snippet: <logic:iterate id="years" name="years_Map"> <bean:define id="year" name="years" property="key" /> <bean:write name="product" property='<%= "annualizedReturns[" + year + "].performance" %>' />	 </logic:iterate> The Map contains data that looks like this: "1", "1 yr" "2", "2 yr" "5", "5 yr" etc... Whe the page is rendered, it draws a bit of the page and the remainder of the page remains blank. I can't find any log entry to indicate that any errors are being thrown. If I print out the results of <%= "annualizedReturns[" + year + "].performance" %> between , I get the correct value ( ie, annualizedReturns[1].performance) and when I replace the property attribute in the bean:write tag above with "annualizedReturns[1].performance" hardcoded, it works fine. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Security for Smart Meters
The drive to introduce smart meters into the Dutch energy market has accelerated, thanks to the initiative shown by Enexis and a successful data encryption solution delivered by Atos.
Enexis is one of the leading players in the Netherlands energy market. Of the 7 million households in the country 2.7 million take their power from Enexis, which is both committed to the deployment of smart meters and has the scale and influence to make a real difference to the market.
Worldline's combined hardware and software approach was chosen as the basis for the Enexis smart meter data security solution, now known as Cryptoserver, and work began on developing and delivering the solution in early 2012.
The successful development and implementation of Cryptoserver has demonstrated that secure and effective use of smart meters on a very large scale is a reality. Atos and
Worldline have made a vital contribution to our roll-out of smart meters and we are certain that the cryptoserver solution can and will be used much more widely in the future.
