The London Underground…all these people in a little space underneath the city. Millions of stories zooming around, A to B via F (or X depending on how random the diversion).
I could spend hours down there like a stealthy mole. If you like "People Watching" then this has got to be the place for you.
The one thing that always strikes me more than anything about the tube is that it is a public, private space.
I wanted to explore how the idea of taking photographs of people in this space worked. It is a public space yet somehow the idea of being photographed on the tube feels intrusive and voyeuristic. I also wanted to document and demonstrate how experiences that we take for granted (and mostly deliberately shut out) are actually moments of great value and the perfect opportunity to get a small snapshot into the internal world of a complete stranger.
If you would like a look at more of the collection then pop over to my Tube Stories page.
(You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter)
NB. Please note this collection of photos is not intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable. If you are featured in any of these images and would like a free print or would like me to remove it, please don't hesitate to get in contact.

Minnesota Teen Dies in Northern South Dakota Crash
A teenager from Minnesota died Monday in a one-vehicle crash northeast of Ipswich, in Edmunds County.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol says the crash happened on 125th Street, about a half mile west of State Highway 45.
Troopers say 15-year-old Vannah Decker of Gibbon, Minnesota was a passenger in an SUV driven by Janos Stahl, 17, of Ipswich.
The vehicle was eastbound when the driver lost control and the vehicle went into the ditch, rolled and came to rest in a field.
Decker was not wearing a seatbelt. She was thrown from the vehicle and was dead when crews arrived.
Stahl also was not wearing a seatbelt. The Patrol says his injuries were serious but not life-threatening.

Landau's Theorem for Dirichlet series with real coefficients ($c_n$) states that if the coefficients are of fixed sign for all sufficiently large $n$, then the point $\sigma_0$ on the abscissa of convergence of the series is itself a singularity of the function represented by the series in the half plane $\sigma>\sigma_0$.
One can also show that the conclusion of Landau's Theorem applies in a broader context. For example, if the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x} c_n\geq 0$, then the real point $\sigma_0$ is a singularity of the function.
My question is this: To what extent does the converse implication hold, that is, if $\sigma_0$ is a singularity of the function represented for $\sigma>\sigma_0$ by some Dirichlet series with real coefficients, then under what additional conditions may we conclude that the ($c_n$) are of fixed sign for sufficiently large $n$?

From the GLO to the BLM Timeline
The challenge of managing public lands started as soon as America established its independence and began acquiring additional lands. Initially, these public lands were used to encourage homesteading and westward migration, and the General Land Office (GLO) was created to support this national goal. Over time, however, values and attitudes regarding public lands shifted. Many significant laws and events led to the establishment of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and laid the foundation for its mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America's public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

For more than 40 years after it opened in 1914, Rochester's Bragdon Station ranked among the nation's grand railroad stations. But competition from automobiles and airlines caused the number of passengers to fall, and in 1965 the station was demolished.
No one has used the word "grand" to describe the Amtrak station that has served Rochester since 1978. Among its many shortcomings, the station is run down, lacks amenities and gives visitors a poor first impression of the city.
At long last, that's going to change. After decades of discussion and debate, a new intermodal transportation facility serving Amtrak trains and interstate buses will rise on Central Avenue.
The agreement announced this week calls for Amtrak to own and operate the $26.5 million train station. The federal government is providing $15 million for the project, with the state and city supplying additional funding.
The design has not been finalized, but the idea is to draw on Rochester's rich heritage-especially renowned architect Claude Bragdon's station.
Above all, a train station exists to serve the people who pass through its doors. The new intermodal transportation center promises to be a safe, accessible, passenger-friendly facility with much-improved operational efficiencies.
In addition, a station is a gateway to the surrounding city and region. There's every reason to believe the new facility will make a positive statement about the area's quality of life.
Finally, the new Rochester station is expected to spur economic development in the city's northeastern quadrant and boost downtown revitalization. Shuttles will connect it to the new Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority transit center on St. Paul Street.
As recently as five years ago, fewer than 75,000 passengers boarded or disembarked from trains annually at Rochester's Amtrak station. In the year ended Sept. 30, however, it served more than 144,000 passengers-and, driven by economic and environmental factors, the number is likely to grow sharply over the next decade.
Rail travel has a proud place in Rochester's history. With construction of the new station, it could earn an important place in the city's future as well.

Direct to Consumer Advertising Workshop Summary
Many genetic testing laboratories have begun to market their tests directly to consumers through print and television advertisements. While this may increase public awareness about the availability of genetic tests, there may also be some risks in adopting this strategy. For instance, some advertisements might not successfully reach at-risk individuals or accurately convey the limitations of genetic testing.
The advertising of health-related products directly to consumers, a $3 billion per year industry, first appeared in the early 1980's with the marketing of prescription drugs in print and television advertisements. As additional genetic testing companies adopt this marketing strategy, more research is needed to evaluate the benefits and consequences of the direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing of genetic tests.
In 2002, Myriad Genetics, Inc. launched the most notable DTC marketing campaign to date. This campaign included print and television advertisements for BRACAnalysis, a commercial test for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes which have been associated with breast and ovarian cancer.1 In Denver, one of the cities in which the ads ran, cancer genetics centers noted a 300% increase in calls from women interested in BRACAnalysis, but a 30% decrease in referral of high risk women during the campaign.2 These data signal a potential failure of the ads to reach the target population of women most likely to benefit from the information gained from BRACAnalysis. Further research showed that the advertisements did not accurately portray the test's ability to predict cancer or encourage consumers to contact their health care provider.3, 4 In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) public meeting to review data of the impact of DTC marketing of prescription drugs also found similar conclusions: advertisements increased consumers' awareness about diseases, but failed to accurately convey risk information.5
In addition to print and television, many companies use the Internet to market their genetic tests to consumers, including clinically available tests pertaining to disorder such as hemochromatosis and cystic fibrosis. Other websites offer genetic tests for nutrition, behavior, and aging.6 A consumer can purchase face cream and supplements formulated specifically for their genetic composition, order a test to predict if they are likely to develop addictive or hyperactive behaviors, and a pregnant woman can have a blood test to see if her fetus has a chromosome abnormality. All of these non-clinical tests lack scientific support, and thus, the validity of the information on these websites' should be thoughtfully assessed.
Marketing on the Internet is particularly worrisome in that it many cases it can provide easy access to genetic tests without involving a health care professional in the testing process. Even the clinically available genetic tests, which may provide legitimate test results, can be difficult to interpret without genetic counseling.
The need for additional oversight of genetic tests, including the marketing of those tests, was evaluated in July 2000, by the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Genetic Testing and in September 2003, by the Secretary's Advisory Committee in Genetics, Health and Society evaluated.7 Currently, the Centers of Disease Control (CDC), Centers for Medicare Services (CMS), FDA, have oversight of genetic tests and products, while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has oversight of the advertising of these tests and products. The National Institutes of Health, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) support research related to genetic tests and products.
Genetic test results not only apply to the individual across his/her entire lifespan, but have implications to other family members as well. Therefore, it will be important for sound public policy to be developed in the area of oversight in both the provision and marketing of such tests.

Rite Aid offers 'virtual' clinics
CAMP HILL, Pa. — Rite Aid is teaming up with OptumHealth to become the first to provide "virtual clinics" in a retail pharmacy setting.
Rite Aid announced Thursday the launch of NowClinic online care services at select Rite Aid stores in the Detroit area. NowClinic allows Rite Aid customers to interact in real time with doctors and OptumHealth nurses.
Customers will be able to use the Internet to have private consultations with doctors about symptoms, as well as obtaining guidance, diagnoses and prescriptions for certain medications. They also can have conversations with nurses, who can provide basic healthcare education, information on common medical problems and identification of appropriate provider options for care. Customers can obtain a record of each interaction to share with a primary care provider.

That kind of leadership and innovation one would expect from Optum but not necessarily from Rite Aid. Is this a technology precursor of a potential Walmart acquisition?

Justice Department officials have recommended joining a federal whistleblower lawsuit aimed at clawing back sponsorship money from former professional cyclist Lance Armstrong, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Justice Department has been weighing the matter since 2010, when the suit was filed by Armstrong's former teammate Floyd Landis.

Decades of Doping
See some key events involving doping in cycling.
All whistleblower suits are kept under seal, and neither the Justice Department nor Landis have acknowledged the suit's existence or the allegations. However, according to a person who has seen the lawsuit, Landis alleged that Armstrong and team managers defrauded the U.S. government when they accepted money from the U.S. Postal Service.
The Justice Department and Landis declined to comment.
The contract with the Postal Service required that the team refrain from using performance-enhancing drugs. Landis and, more recently, several other former teammates, said in affidavits that Armstrong was at the center of a sophisticated doping ring and knowingly flouted the contract.
The deadline for the Justice Department to join the suit is Thursday, the day Armstrong's much anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey is scheduled to air. On the show, which was taped Monday afternoon, Armstrong admitted to his own use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to the Associated Press.
Landis sued on behalf of the government under the Federal False Claims Act, which allows citizens to sue for alleged fraud against the government, according to people familiar with the matter.

Under the law, the government can intervene in Landis's suit, essentially pursuing the case on its own behalf. If it doesn't, Landis is free to carry on the action on his own. As a whistleblower, Landis could collect 30% of any money the government recovers.
The Postal Service paid a total of $30.6 million to the team's management company to sponsor the team from 2001 through 2004, according to a sponsorship agreement reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The contract said "negative publicity" due to "alleged possession, use or sale of banned substances" by riders or team personnel would constitute an "event of default," as would a failure to take "action" if a rider violates a morals or drug clause.
Under the False Claims Act, if Armstrong and others are found to have violated the act, they could be on the hook for triple the amount of the total paid under the contract. That could mean damages of roughly $100 million.
Recently, Armstrong's legal team has been in negotiations with the Justice Department in an attempt to settle the suit, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The person said the negotiations between Armstrong's team and the Justice Department are far from being settled, with the two sides nowhere near an agreement.
Other defendants in the suit, according to the person who has seen it, include Thom Weisel, the former chairman of the management company that owned Armstrong's cycling team, and Johan Bruyneel, his longtime team director. A lawyer for Weisel said he couldn't comment. Bruyneel didn't return calls seeking comment.
The case has been investigated by the Justice Department's commercial litigation branch, according to several people familiar with the matter. Robert Chandler, a Justice Department attorney, has been interviewing potential witnesses in the case, according to people familiar with the matter. The case isn't related to a criminal lawsuit that was dropped in February.
Whistleblower attorneys say that to win, the Justice Department wouldn't have to prove that the Postal Service lost money—only that the defendants in the suit knowingly misrepresented themselves in the contract with the Postal Service.

What are the banking laws in India?
Banking laws aim at providing a legal framework to Banking. These law are required for the smooth, and unquestionable process of working of banks, ambiguity or legal hassle of any sort w.r.t banks can result in massive monetary repercussions, these laws aim at the avoidance of those.
Some of the applicable laws to this topic:
- Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
- Banking Regulation Act, 1949
- Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934
- Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Understandings) Act, 1970
- Finance Act, 2011
- Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999
The period of present day banking backpedals to late eighteenth century. Bank of Hindostan was one of the first to be built up in the year 1770. It was the State Bank of India, which established the framework of present day banking in India post-independence in 1955. SBI was the amalgamation of 3 banks subsidized by the pre independence administration government, to be specific Bank of Bengal, Bank of Madras and Bank of Bombay. Concerning the focal banking expert (or might be alluded as statutory body), for long Presidency Banks acted in this position, till in 1935 Reserve Bank Of India (RBI), assumed control over the position, after the 1934 Reserve bank of India act was passed.
As per Section 131 of the Income Tax Act 1961, income tax authorities enjoy the same powers as those vested in a Court under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908. The banker may unveil the condition of his client's record keeping in mind the end goal to legitimately ensure his own particular interest. For instance, if the banker needs to recover the due loan from the client or the guarantor, exposure of important realities to the guarantor or the specialist ends up noticeably vital and is much legitimized.
RBI has made certain guidelines for the facilitation of better experience to the customers. The Banking Regulation Act 1949, gives the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) the ability to license banks, have direction over shareholding and voting privileges of shareholders; oversee the arrangement of the boards and administration; manage the operations of banks; set down guidelines for reviews; control ban, mergers and liquidation; issue orders in light of a legitimate concern for open great and on saving money strategy, and force punishments.

Two Poems by Joseph Kalar
Faces floating in a poolroom fog,
faces flowering out of collars
and shirts like greenhouse cabbages,
faces with eyes tired, eyes like pools
filmed over with fog, sad and vacant eyes
like bright coals burned to grey cinders.
Men sitting on poolroom chairs
staring at the floor with vacant eyes
blinking as the last billiard ball
rolls smooth as hell into the right pocket;
seeing and not seeing, seeing phlegm
glistening like jewels in the yellow light,
smoldering cigarette butts, gum wrappers,
cigaret packages; hearing sharp sudden click
of billiard balls, low loving entreaties
of players finding life concentrated in a cue.
Faces, now so unlovely and sad,
were you ever wise and resolute? 0 corpse faces,
pasty faces, dead faces, did your eyes
ever smoulder with creative hate?
Faces growing on that evil sour apple tree,
withered fruit of sour poisoned stalk,
sad harvest of work and looking for work,
harvest of mine, harvest of factory,
harvest of lumbercamp and sectiongang,
poolroom faces gazing at poolroom floor,
waiting, thinking maybe, wishing a little,
praying for strong men to plow the sour soil!
As piles of sand disintegrate when sucked
by the wet urgent tongue of the sea--
as one about to die finds life escaping
like rush of air from a punctured tire
as a house gnawed by red teeth of flames
falls at last to ashes and ashes
so now the land we love, comrade,
so now the dreams we dreamed,
so today and all the hours....
Hunger is with us.
Factory smoke is sour
with the memory of work
to be done
and a wild look in the eye:
no work today, buddy, no work....
Hunger is with us, it is a rodent
that chews flesh from us
that drops dung on our joys
that dogs our steps blackly
a shadow you can't outrun,
hunger is waiting,
hunger loves you,
hunger is with us, brother.
0 now the grease will surely
leave your fingernails
and cinders will surely
leave those eyes alone
for a wild look in the eye:
no work today, buddy, no work,
no, no work, no work, buddy,
the old system
can't squeeze out another job for you,
can't find a loaf of bread for you;
that for you, brother,
a fig for your pains,
a sneer for your love
and spittle on your dreams.
Nothing to lose anymore,
gone now the lies
the beautiful lies
the red white and blue lies,
nothing to lose anymore, comrade,
nothing to lose now but your chains.
This is a new day, brother,
come gird your loins with me,
spit on your hands
(no more time for dreams)
a big job is waiting
hard work needs completion
a big job is waiting
and is tired of waiting,
for men like you, brother,
who find Hunger a comrade
with a lean embrace
and for you too, brother,
with smoke in your eyes
and grease on your nails
and a paycheck smaller and smaller
and hours that seem
never to end
and a boss that demands of your strength
till it seems to snap
a big job for us today
a big job for us today
Nothing to lose anymore, comrade
nothing to lose but our chains.
Don't you remember the days
that left us rotting with sleep
and we lay as one etherized
thinking that dreams could last?
don't you remember the days
when that flag meant something
and the blood thrilled
to the red white and blue?
Listen, comrades, have you forgotten
the lies we embraced,
the lies that offered us dugs
full of milk
to soothe our anger
and embalm our wisdom?
Have you forgotten, comrade,
the finger of scorn we pointed
at comrades who shook us from sleep
and told us a big job was waiting
and sang the wonders
of the workers' fatherland?
Gone now, all gone, brother,
gone now the lies
the beautiful lies
the red white and blue lies
nothing left us but this hunger
nothing left us but this hate
nothing left us but these hands
and a job that's tired of waiting....
Nothing to lose anymore, comrade,
nothing to lose but our chains!

text: Biofuels Outlook Centers on Politics July 30, 2013 09:32 PM Tweet Despite ethanol's long history, it's been a venture that ebbs and flows with America's needs and priorities. Politics have long played a key part. © Wayne Wenzel TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Future crucial for crop demand and prices firstname.lastname@example.com Ethanol margins returned to the black during late spring and production bounced back from last year's lows—increasing the corn grind and demand, even for pricey old-crop corn. In addition, companies such as DuPont, POET-DSM, Abengoa and about 20 others are moving forward on cellulosic production, which uses corn byproducts. They are expected to reach up to 100 million gallons in 2014. This is good news for the bioenergy sector and farmers. While no one knows for sure what bioenergy has meant to producer bottom lines, a study from Purdue University concluded that if the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) mandates had been waived in 2012, the impact on corn prices could have ranged from very little to more than $1 per bu. In total, the biofuels industry means billions of dollars for producer returns each year. Despite the good news, some dark clouds have emerged. The petroleum industry has launched a full-court press to roll back the RFS. Linked to that is the market reality. The effective 10% blend wall for ethanol has been reduced because gasoline consumption has fallen. This means if E15 and E85 don't catch fire, corn use for ethanol could fall. With global corn production increasing and weak U.S. export demand, continued biofuels growth is key to corn profitability. "Mandates of 16 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol by 2022 are realistic." Production Bounce. High drought-driven corn prices forced many ethanol plants to either close their doors or cut production. Today, they operate at 87% to 89% capacity, up from 84% to 85% in 2012. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) says it's operating at 100% capacity, and expects positive, though volatile, profits for the remainder of the year. "Plants figured out how to make $7 corn work," says Chad Hart, ag economist at Iowa State University. How? Ethanol prices jumped 10¢ to 40¢ per gallon higher than costs. The production change has been dramatic. The week of Jan. 25, the ethanol industry was using 82 million bushels of corn, but by the third week of June, that had increased to 95 million, a 15% increase. The forecast looks even better for 2014. ADM's Patricia Woertz, chief executive officer, expects the market for E85 to expand so blenders can meet RFS requirements that increase from 13.8 billion gallons in 2013 to 14.4 billion gallons in 2014. Others are less optimistic. E85 costs more than E10 and has a reduction in energy value. Because gasoline consumption has declined, the 10% blend wall is likely to slow production even as the RFS mandate increases, says Sterling Liddell, Rabo AgriFinance senior vice president. In 2013, the 10% blend wall will fall to 12 billion to 12.5 billion gallons—more than 1 billion less than the 13.8 billion mandate. He does not look for E15 or E85 to take root during the next three years. Another challenge is Brazil's production surge, in part to export to the U.S. to meet advanced biofuel mandates, and because world sugar prices have hit the skids. Brazilian ethanol is made from sugarcane, which qualifies as an advanced biofuel because the crop is perennial. "Overall, I think it will be a wash," Hart says. "Brazilian ethanol will be imported to the U.S., and U.S. corn ethanol will be exported to Brazil." Cellulose Arrives. While the projected 100 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol in 2014 remains short of mandated targets, it represents an important advance and is more than a 10-fold increase from 2013. "Realistically, cellulose is getting closer," says Wallace Tyner, a Purdue University ag economist. "There have been some important breakthroughs. Whether Congress will have the patience with cellulose any longer, however, I don't know." Each year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had to reduce cellulosic Congressional mandates. Major players are more optimistic. "RFS mandates of 16 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol by 2022 are realistic," says Jan Koninckx, DuPont Industrial Biosciences global business director for biorefineries. "Ethanol Plants figured out how to make $7 corn work." "We have made great progress," says Koninckx, both in plant technology as well as new enzymes that break down cellulosic materials more easily and cheaply. As such, production, costs are coming down. That means a new market for corn stover and other biomass, he says. Last fall, DuPont broke ground in Nevada, Iowa, on the world's largest cellulose plant—a 30 million gallon facility—with production expected in late 2014. A 25 million gallon capacity cellulosic plant by POET-DSM in Emmetsburg, Iowa, will begin initial phases of production in 2014. What has taken cellulose so long to become reality? "I don't think it has," Koninckx says. "We went from investment in the technology to where we are today with a commercial plant in five years." Mandates Hang. Never has the oil industry attacked ethanol and bioenergy so hard, both in Congress and in the courts, says Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy. "It's all about market share," he says. "Every additional drop of ethanol is one less drop of petroleum." The petroleum industry has mounted a massive campaign to prevent ethanol from growing beyond a 10% blend. If the RFS2 is fully implemented, the oil industry must embrace higher blends. "That's why it's happening now," Buis says. "The fight is over the blend wall, pure and simple." Bills to change the RFS have been introduced in the House and Senate, and hearings are underway. Specifically, oil companies are concerned that the 10% blend wall is 13.3 billion gallons of corn ethanol, but the 2013 mandate calls for 13.8 billion gallons, which goes up to 14.4 billion next year and flat lines at 15 billion. Tyner says oil companies fulfilled their obligation to EPA this year through the use of credits, but that won't be an option for 2014 or 2015. In response, the ethanol industry is counter-attacking, and lawmakers friendly to biofuels have introduced bioenergy bills in Congress. Biofuels scored political successes. First, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a ruling that supported EPA's decision to approve E15. Second, in his June Climate Action Plan speech, President Obama stated his support for biofuels and the RFS because of the benefits to energy security, jobs, rural development and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. That will make it more challenging for petroleum interests to overturn the RFS, some say. Despite chatter in D.C., ADM's Woertz predicts Congress is likely to stay the course on ethanol policy.

After a 15+ year career, Beyonce has left only one question about her abilities as an entertainer and artist: Is there anything she can't do? She puts everything she has into all that she does, from her music to her performances to her clothing line to her fragrances to her picture perfect family. With the recent birth of her baby, Beyonce can add another accomplishment to her resume: being a mom. Seriously, Webster's should just stick a picture of Beyonce's face next to the word BOSS in the dictionary.
Despite constantly being in the public eye, Beyonce is just as notorious for her privacy as she is for her career. She kept her relationship with Jay-Z totally under wraps for years, and even managed to pull off a wedding without so much as a leaked picture of a tablecloth from the ceremony. But since Beyonce got pregnant, we're seeing a little more of her private life. She made a very public announcement of her impending bundle of joy by revealing her bump on stage at the MTV Awards, and while she never revealed a due date or confirmed her baby's sex, she did reveal her name soon after birth and even shared some pics of the little Blue shortly after returning home. And now Beyonce is giving us even more of a glimpse into her world with the launch of her Tumblr account. She chose to reveal pictures from her personal collection, including some with her equally Boss husband, her sister, and her nephew. She even included a couple videos, with a highlight being the one where she stood barefoot and pregnant in front of a tree and said it was a blue ivy.
Clearly, everything that Beyonce does is carefully strategized and has a specific purpose for her brand; and with this Tumblr, it's clear she is trying to give her ravenous fans a little more of a taste of Beyonce, the human being – not Bey the part-human-part-R&B-demigod we see on the stage all the time. And obviously, we can't get enough. Her MTV Awards reveal garnered her Twitter's top tweets-per-second record and we can only imagine what kind of crazy traffic her new Tumblr is getting. The site says she will continue to share pictures via the blog. And really, since she is so famously private, it feels a lot like getting a look behind the Great and Powerful Oz's curtain or something. I gotta hand it to Bey (…again…), she made this choice to share some things with the public, and she's doing it on her damn terms and as she damn well pleases. Shocker – Beyonce wins again.
It's being said that her four year anniversary with Jay (which was April 4) spurred her to do this. Whatever the reason, I think it's a great move. She's so larger than life – it's easy to forget she is an actual person, not some perfect singing, dancing cyborg. Getting a little peek into the world she lives in off the stage is pretty cool. It will be interesting to see if this means another evolution of the brand of Beyonce. Motherhood softening you up, Bey? Keep it coming – we love it!

Their job is to produce research, mine is to manage clusters and smp machines. A problem that sometimes crops up is that these days, everyone thinks that they can manage a cluster (or large smp for that matter), because they have a linux box or maybe a 4-1p nodes at their house. Sometimes its a real issue getting these people to understand that managing a machine for 1 person and managing it for 5,50,500 are entirely different. For example, on friday, one of our applications analysts wanted to upgrade a piece of software on one of the clusters. He didn't know what it would affect (libraries, other installed software, users already using that software). After a bit of investigation it turned out that the PI in question could use the version already installed (which is about 6 months old). I guess that I'm rather "old school" but upgrades have to be for a reason other than there's a new version. Maybe they are needed for features, or security, or stability. But IMO, they are seldom needed because they are new. Mike

How are Financial Capability and Financial Access Linked? Insights from Colombia and Mexico
Access to formal financial services has been expanding in recent years. But as people start to use these services for the first time, it has become clear that the challenge is not only providing access to financial services, but also ensuring that people have the behaviors and attitudes to use financial products responsibly and to their advantage. If not, increased access to finance could potentially lead to over-indebtedness and even financial crises.
Two recent nationwide surveys of 1,526 adults in Colombia and of 2,022 adults in Mexico measure financial capability to provide insights on how people manage their finances. The term "financial capability" refers to a broader concept than financial literacy or knowledge alone. It covers a number of different behaviors and attitudes related to participation in financial decisions, planning and monitoring the use of money, and balancing income and expenses to make ends meet.
The financial capability surveys find for example that, in Mexico, many make financial plans, but far fewer adhere to them. Seventy percent of those surveyed say they budget, but just one-third reported consistently adhering to a budget. Similarly, just 18 percent knew how much they spent last week. In Colombia, while 94 percent of adults reported budgeting how income would be spent, less than a quarter of those surveyed actively monitored spending or had precise knowledge of how much is available for daily expenses.

A forum for sharing news and engaging in debate regarding all things economic
This community is for people considering relocating themselves and their families within the United States - whether across town or across the country. We can consider maps, demographics, weather, climate, economic opportunities, etc. We can also discuss what it takes to pick up and leave family and friends behind, get used to a new community with new social mores and unspoken traditions, and set down new roots and build a new support system.
The purpose of this PP Investment Group is to offer mutual support and helpful information to our members who are seeking to build financial wealth across the vast array of investment vehicles (stocks, bonds, precious metals, other tangible assets, retirement funds, options, etc), but doing so in a manner that takes into consideration the incredible macroeconomic challenges facing all of us that The Crash Course identifies.

We're live from the Snowpark base area. It's been a tough season in New Zealand, and freeriding is almost nonexistent (it's better in Chile and Argentina), but Snowpark is going off. The Frank Wells-shaped halfpipe opened yesterday (Thursday in NZ) and riders from around the world are all over it.
Days are warm and afternoon sessions at the Wanaka skatepark are in full effect. Get a flight to Queenstown on the South Island and make your way over-it'll be the best North American summer of your life. Don't forget your skateboard or any of your snow gear because nothing is cheap. I made my contribution to the local shred economy by spending $320 (about $250 US) on a new skate. Learn from my mistake. Once you're in Wanaka, you don't need a car, you can just hitch rides around-everyone is going to the same place. A backpackers lodge is about $30 US per night, and lift tickets at Snowpark are around $45 US (60 NZ dollars).
Come now and you'll catch the Burton Open at neighboring Cardrona next weekend. Check back for daily coverage of the Open and the scene at Snowpark from August 11-20. You can also check out the Snowpark site at snowparknz.com. www.Snowpark.com

This decision has been reproduced in plain text only. If you wish to submit a copy of a decision as part of an appeal, please download a Word copy from the link below.
Commissioner's Case Nos: CIB/2858, 2859 and 2864/2001
1. My decisions are as follows. They are given under section 14(8)(b) of the Social Security Act 1998.
The decisions of the Bristol appeal tribunal, held on 22nd February 2001, are erroneous in point of law.
I set them aside and remit the cases to a differently constituted appeal tribunal.
I direct that appeal tribunal to conduct a complete rehearing of the issues that arise for decision in accordance with my analysis of section 30E of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992.
The appeals to the Commissioner
2. These are three appeals to a Commissioner against the decision of the appeal tribunal brought by the claimant with the leave of a district chairman of tribunals on the recommendation of the chairman of the tribunal.
3. Case management directions were given by Mr Commissioner Bano.
4. After written observations were received from the parties, the cases came before me for determination. I was not persuaded by the written arguments and found the issues difficult, especially in view of conflicting decisions of Commissioners. I, therefore, directed an oral hearing. It was held before me in Cardiff on 4th April 2002. The claimant did not attend, but was represented by Mr P Moorhouse of her local Council's Money Advice Service. The Secretary of State was represented by Mr H James. I have derived great help from the discussions at the oral hearing.
The issue
5. The claimant is a councillor. The issue in each case is whether and how the cost of clothing purchased by her is deductible from her councillor's allowance for the purpose of determining the amount of incapacity benefit payable to her.
The law
6. The relevant legislation is section 30E of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992:
'(1) Where the net amount of councillor's allowance to which a person is entitled in respect of any week exceeds such amount as may be prescribed, an amount equal to the excess shall be deducted from the amount of any incapacity benefit to which he is entitled in respect of that week, and only the balance remaining (if any) shall be payable.'
[Subsection (2) defines 'councillor's allowance.]
'(3) In subsection (1) above "net amount", in relation to any councillor's allowance to which a person is entitled, means the aggregate amount of the councillor's allowance or allowances to which he is entitled for the week in question, reduced by the amount of any expenses incurred by him in that week in connection with this membership of the council or councils in question.'
7. The combined effect of section 30E(1) and (3) can be expressed as a formula. The benefit payable is:
incapacity benefit – (excess of councillor's allowance above threshold – expenses).
The higher the councillor's expenses, the lower the net amount of the councillor's allowance that is taken into account, and the smaller the reduction in the amount of benefit payable. If an expense is not taken into account in the actual week that it is incurred, the result will be an underpayment of benefit to the claimant. This can be remedied retrospectively.
8. There are three features of this section which are obvious to anyone familiar with social security law.
9. The first obvious feature is that there is no requirement that the expenses must be wholly, exclusively or necessarily incurred.
10. The second obvious feature is that there is no provision made for a number of problems that may arise in the calculation of the expenses. The expense may relate to both council and private use. The amount of the expense may not be immediately identifiable. The expense may be met in one week but relate to a number of future weeks. It may be administratively inconvenient, both for the councillor and the Secretary of State, to adjust the amount of benefit that is paid week by week. Dealing with expenses retrospectively may cause cash flow problems for the councillor. The Secretary of State and the councillor might find it more convenient to average expenses over a period. The councillor might prefer expenses to be estimated in advance. These issues are usually dealt with by detailed regulations made under the authority of an enabling provision. No regulations have been made in this case. There is no specific enabling provision allowing regulations to be made. Although I have not made a search, I would be surprised if there were not a general enabling power that could be used to allow regulations. But none has been exercised. I find these omissions from the norm significant.
11. These two features may reflect the third, that the law in this section, as elsewhere in social security law, makes express and lenient provision for those who are councillors.
The views of others Commissioners
12. The equivalent provisions that applied to invalidity benefit were considered by Mr Commissioner Rice in CS/7934/1995. Before Mr Rice, both the claimant and the Secretary of State argued that averaging of expenses was permissible. Examples were given of the purchase of a dress and payments for telephone calls and line rental. It was argued that it was absurd to deduct the whole cost of the dress in one week and that telephone costs could only be dealt with by averaging. The Commissioner rejected those arguments. His reasoning is in paragraph 9:
'I see the difficulty, but against that I am faced with the plain words of section 58(4) [equivalent to section 30E(3)]. It specifically provides that the expenses incurred in a particular week have to be deducted from the aggregate amount of the councillor's allowances or allowances to which he or she is entitled for that week. Nor does it matter that the benefit of the expenses incurred in that week are enjoyed in future weeks. It would seem that Parliament deliberately decided, presumably in the interest of simplicity, that the costs incurred in each week should be offset against the allowances of that week, whatever the result might be. It is not open to me to alter the effect of the statute by adding words of my own to it.'
13. Mr Commissioner Williams took a different view of section 30E(3) in CIB/6331/1999. Mr Williams distinguished between the incurring of an expense (when the liability was assumed) and the defraying of it (when the liability was discharged). He analysed Mr Rice's decision and concluded that 'the Commissioner and the parties may have been thinking of defraying bills rather than incurring expenses.' He gave examples to show that the price paid could not simply be taken as the expense incurred. Although he did not use these terms, his examples covered both averaging and apportionment. One example was of a dress bought, worn only for two council functions and then sold. The Commissioner wrote that the expense was incurred on each occasion the dress was worn and was half of the difference between the purchase and sale prices, which could only be calculated after the dress was sold. This involved averaging of the expense. Another example was of a dress bought for both council and other use. This involved apportionment of the expense between the different use. His final example was of heating and lighting bills. These involved first apportionment and then averaging.
14. In giving case management directions, Mr Commissioner Bano suggested another approach. He gave the example of a councillor who spent £40 on a pair of trousers because he had to use them for council functions, but would only have spent £30 if he had not been a councillor. The Commissioner suggested that the expense might the additional cost of £10.
15. Left to my own devices, unhampered by the united opposition of the parties and without having the benefit of the views of my fellow Commissioners, I would have simply interpreted section 30E as Mr Commissioner Rice did the earlier legislation. In view of the arguments of the parties and the views of my colleagues, I have considered the other interpretations that have been suggested.
The arguments that I accept
16. I accept three of the arguments that were put by the parties at the oral hearing.
17. First, I accept that the language of the section 30E should be interpreted as a whole. It is not appropriate to split it up into 'expenses', 'incurred' and 'in connection with', interpreting each in isolation from the other.
18. Second, I accept that there is a limitation of reasonableness on the expenses that may be taken into account in deduction from the excess of the councillor's allowance. The parties at the oral hearing put this as an implied requirement that each expense must be reasonable. I prefer to put it as a limitation that is inherent in the requirement that the expenses be incurred 'in connection with' the membership of the council. Either way, the result is the same.
19. Third, I accept that 'expenses' cannot be interpreted in the way the tribunal did. The tribunal confined 'expenses' to items of revenue rather than capital expenditure, mainly (but not exclusively) items of a recurring nature like fares, telephone calls and stamps. That is not the usual interpretation that 'expenses' bears in law. The tribunal was obviously influenced by the apparent breadth that the section would otherwise have – it gave the example of a councillor who built an extension on a house in order to deal with council business. On my interpretation, the section is not that broad.
The arguments that I reject
20. Otherwise, however, I have concluded that the interpretation of Mr Commissioner Rice is correct. His interpretation is in accordance with the clear wording of the legislation, which requires the issue to be determined on a week by week basis. It must be significant that no specific provision was made for regulations to deal with the application of this section and no general power has been exercised to make such regulations. The potential difficulties are so obvious that the omission must have been a deliberate decision taken by those responsible for the legislation. To my mind, there is only sensible explanation for the omission. It is that the potential problems that I have set out in paragraph 10 do not arise. And that can only be the result of applying the legislation in a simple straightforward way that prevents these potential difficulties arising.
21. The Secretary of State argued that the approach of Mr Commissioner Williams was correct and not that of Mr Commissioner Rice. New guidance had been issued to local officers, based on Mr Williams' analysis. That analysis was to the claimant's benefit and, not surprisingly, the claimant supported it as the correct interpretation of section 30E. The argument was that the section left issues of implementation to the discretion and good sense of local decision-makers. They would take the approach that was best suited to the expenses involved and to the circumstances of the case as a whole. Apportionment, averaging and estimating were all permissible in appropriate circumstances. The intervals at which and the periods over which these could be done would depend on the individual case. The suggestion made by Mr Commissioner Bano was a sensible one that could be taken if it was appropriate. Broad discretions can lead to local practices and differences of treatment, but that would be limited by guidance issued to decision-makers.
22. I have been tempted to accede to the Secretary of State's argument. The legislation is the Secretary of State's and, to the extent that it does not make specific provision, it is for the Secretary of State to determine how it should be implemented. However, on reflection I am unable to accept that in the closely regulated world of social security law this subsidiarity of approach is a correct interpretation of section 30E.
23. I respectfully agree with Mr Commissioner Williams that an expense is incurred when the liability arises rather than when it is discharged. However, I do not agree that an expense is incurred in the week in which the item is used. If a dress is bought in one week for use in the next, the expense is incurred when it is bought. Mr Williams has in effect interpreted 'any expenses incurred by him in that week' as meaning 'any expenses incurred by him in respect of that week'.
24. A consideration of variations on one of the examples given by Mr Commissioner Williams shows, with respect, the problems which his interpretation creates. In his example, a dress was bought, used twice and then sold. But how would section 30E apply if those events had not all occurred in the period that the decision-maker was considering? Without knowing how often the dress would be used, it is impossible to know over how many weeks to spread the expense. And without knowing how much the dress would be sold for, it is impossible to know what allowance to make for this. I do not accept that these complex issues have simply been left to the good sense of a decision-maker in the context of a particular case, even if that good sense is moderated by considered guidance issued centrally by the Secretary of State.
25. So, my conclusion is that section 30E has to be applied week by week. That can be done in each week or retrospectively over a past period. An expense is incurred in the week in which the liability arises and can only be used to reduce the reduction in incapacity benefit for that week.
26. The decisions of the appeal tribunal are wrong in law and must be set aside. As the claimant did not attend the oral hearing before me, I was unable to investigate the facts and make findings on the reasonableness of each item of expenditure. There must, therefore, be a rehearing to determine this issue.

Firefly Jayne's Hat
Cunning, dontcha think?
- 100% acrylic yarn
- Officially-licensed Firefly merchandise.
- We call these little items here "bullets," which seems appropriate for a Jayne product. Also convenient since I can't come up with a third one.
Many of you told us you wanted this hat. Many of you gave up on us and already have this hat. Maybe you made it yourself or begged a fiberly-talented friend. But there are those of us not burdened with an overabundance of knitting skills (or crafty friends). What? There were guns to clean, beagles to smuggle, people to intimidate. This hat is for folks like us, to keep us warm in our travels.
We found a vendor with the Firefly license who agreed to make the officially-licensed version of the Jayne hat. Only problem was, they weren't huge fans. Not like us. They knew of the hat, but didn't know the details. So we got to play adviser on this, giving them specs for different parts and picking the colors. One of the tricky things is that the hat in real life is much brighter than it looks in the show because of the lighting in the scene. We started out with the actual colors, and quickly determined that wasn't going to work. It didn't look right. We came to this compromise, which looks like the hat you see on Adam Baldwin in the scene. Sort of like how it's never ice cream when they shoot ice cream for commercials, but if they shot actual ice cream it wouldn't look like itself? That.
Yellow, orange, and red, 100% acrylic laplander. Officially-licensed Firefly merchandise.
Jayne's Hat
- One size fits most. 22" around, unstretched. Stretches to 29".
- 9 1/2" from top to brim. 15" from top to end of earflaps (not counting tassels). Tassels are just over 3". Pompom is 3".
- 100% acrylic.
- Hand wash. Lay flat to dry. Iron on low. Do not bleach.
- Not intended for children 12 and under.

Having been dumped by the History Channel and subsequently disdained by a few other cable networks, The Kennedys, an eight-hour miniseries, airs next week way up on the ReelzChannel. This is a suitably low-rent venue for a production that looks pitiably cheap despite a reported budget of $30 million. It would seem that the producers have spent handsomely on star talent and on hairdressing, with Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes respectively blow-dried and bouffanted into commemorative-plate perfection as JFK and Jackie. It would seem, also, that lower priorities included the construction of credible sets (is the exterior of the White House fabricated from drywall?), the hiring of enough extras to fill out a campaign rally properly or even a family dinner (where's Teddy?), and contracting the services of a competent dialect coach. Kinnear captures his character's non-rhotal speech persuasively, for the most part, but other actors have a hahder time, slipping around from the intonations of Mayor Quimby to those of Will Hunting—and when Rose Kennedy, played by Diana Hardcastle, opens her mouth, the voice that emerges rings like Katharine Hepburn's.
Upon chucking The Kennedys, the History Channel issued a statement that said, in part, "While the film is produced and acted with the highest quality, after viewing the final product in its totality, we have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand." The first part of that sentence is so complete a fiction that it is tempting to discount the whole. The film is produced and acted with unconditional mediocrity. This is one of those historical dramas that plays like a forced march of time, with the story advancing because people read stories about themselves in fictional newspapers with names like the United States Tribune. But the dependent clause holds water: In order to be a fit for the History brand, the miniseries would have needed to have a halfway serious interest in, ah, historical analysis, and The Kennedys wants nothing to do with any of that.
Much of the "controversy" surrounding the miniseries owes to the detractors who, doubtlessly emboldened by the fact that creator Joel Surnow (24) is a strident rightist, prejudged it as a smear job. If only. A full-on disgraceful farce—a Terry Southern-inflected number with, say, an exploding-cigar plot to kill Castro and JFK chasing Judith Exner around the South Lawn to the sound of Benny Hill's "Yakety Sax"—could have been a lot of fun. Instead, The Kennedys is blandly admiring when paying due respect, mildly cheesy when hauling out the trash, and understaged at every turn, the better for viewers to project their own fantasies onto it.
Here, history serves as a backdrop for sentimental romance, psuedo-Shakespearean family drama, and a celebration of the exercise of power. It would be beside the point to dwell upon the benign distortions and necessary simplifications The Kennedys commits when dramatizing the White House's role in the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the integration of Ole Miss, not to mention gruesomely pedantic. That said, I am compelled to point out that, contrary to a screen graphic, there should be a space between Hyannis and Port.
The opening hours of The Kennedys pivot around Election Day 1960, as experienced at the Kennedy headquarters on the Cape. Joe (Tom Wilkinson)—the family's patriarch, the show's designated hubristic villain—works the phones with demonic intensity, for instance calling Harry S. Truman to insist that he tell those Missouri Baptists that Jack won't have his strings pulled by the Pope. Rose works her rosary beads, beginning to beat into the ground the notion that she is the local voice of piety and superstition. Bobby (Barry Pepper), not unlike Michael Corleone, dreams aloud about getting out of the family business now that his job as campaign manager is at an end. Jackie would rather be spending time with Caroline than doing a TV interview, and the tenor of Holmes' performance, an extended game of dress-up, gives the impression that the nursery is really where the woman belongs. Holmes is at her most unfortunate in scenes depicting the work of a personal physician nicknamed "Dr. Feelgood," who shoots her up with amphetamines so that she can make it through the busy day. These moments call to mind Alex P. Keaton's frantic bad vibrations in the "Speed Test" episode of Family Ties.
Jack, here and throughout, is hollow. Even when canoodling with an office blonde on election night—a mere five paces from the front porch!—he is oddly passionless. Flashbacks to Joe's tenure as the ambassador to the Court of St. James stamp out the idea that Jack has the sense to recognize that Hitler was not a solid guy, so he's got that going for him. Once he's in the Oval Office, we see that he's for the civil rights movement and against losing the Cold War—also good qualities. But The Kennedys is most interested in him as a marketing professional whose style anticipated the pain-feeling of Clinton and the culture of Oprah. It suggests that the pivotal point in his first congressional race came when he talked about his brother's death in World War II. It supposes that, after the embarrassment of the Bay of Pigs, he rescued his public-approval rating by going on TV to apologize. The bad fictional radio broadcast telling you as much—and very nearly implying that the public's approval is what we should be most concerned with—plays over a scene of touch football.
In its seventh hour, The Kennedys finally lurches toward Dealey Plaza. ("Hey, Lee," an employee of the Texas School Book Depository calls out to a colleague, "we're all headed down the knoll. …") It speaks to the heart of the show's kitschiness that the narrative here fragments and flashes back so that the story of the assassination is entwined with the tale of Marilyn Monroe, of her alleged affair with Jack and subsequent drug overdose. (The Marilyn of The Kennedys mostly evokes "Burning Up"-era Madonna, which makes her about one-quarter as embarrassing as the Frank Sinatra of The Kennedys, who mostly evokes nobody.) The miniseries leaves us to suppose that Marilyn killed herself because JFK didn't love her back and that JFK died because … well maybe the Mafia or the Cubans had something to do with it, but he died because the narrative of America required a modern martyr. Or so you might think when immersed in this thin exercise in pop folklore, a velvet-painting adoration traced with lurid tabloid colors.

FARGO, N.D. — The Highway Patrol says troopers in December responded to more than 200 vehicle crashes in southeastern North Dakota, a dramatic increase from the five-year average.
The patrol says 178 crashes caused property damage and 31 resulted in injuries. There were no fatal accidents. There were 129 accidents on Interstate 94 in the Fargo area, between the Red River bridge and Interstate 29 on the west edge of Fargo.
The patrol says the 15-county area has averaged 110 crashes in December over the past five years.
Troopers say motorists are driving too fast for conditions, accelerating too quickly while merging into traffic, following too closely and using their cruise control.
The 15-county region includes Traill, Cass, Richland, Steele, Barnes, Ransom, Sargent, Griggs, Stutsman, LaMoure, Dickey, Eddy, Foster, Logan and McIntosh counties.
