Germany's Merkel urges patience on NSA answers
BERLIN (AP) — Two months before national elections, German Chancellor Angela Merkel found herself besieged by questions about U.S. spying, insisting Friday that she has not been remiss in confronting the Americans about their surveillance activities.
The chancellor's traditional 1 ½-hour summer news conference was dominated by questions about National Security Agency snooping, including allegations by NSA leaker Edward Snowden that the U.S. has been spying on its European allies.
Merkel's opponents in the Sept. 22 parliamentary elections have seized on the issue, asserting that she has not done enough to protect Germans' privacy. Although polls show Merkel with a comfortable lead, the issue has created turbulence in what had looked like a smooth glide to a third term as chancellor.
Protecting personal data is an especially sensitive topic in Germany because of abuses by communist East Germany's secret police, the Stasi, and the Nazis' Gestapo.
Merkel insisted her government is awaiting answers from the U.S. to detailed questions about the NSA's activities and hopes to receive them "as soon as possible" — but with no specific deadline.
"I have to take note that our American partners need time for the examination ... It wouldn't help to have an answer that would later turn out not to be truthful," she said. "So I prefer to wait."
Still, she insisted that her government was not trying to stall until Germany's elections are over, insisting that "Sept. 22 is not a date that I am trying to get past."
Last week, Merkel sent her interior minister, Hans-Peter Friedrich, to Washington to confer with top U.S. officials. Friedrich came away pointing to the importance of intelligence in preventing attacks — prompting Merkel's center-left opponents to intensify criticism over what they portrayed as an insufficient effort to protect Germans' personal data.
Her opponents also are questioning assertions by Merkel and other officials that they knew nothing before Snowden's disclosures. The government has been peppered this week with questions over details of those programs, with Snowden's allegations overshadowing such issues as Europe's laggard economy.
"My job is to ensure people in Germany know that German law applies on German soil, and that applies to everyone here," Merkel said. Still, she added, "it is not my job to familiarize myself with the details of PRISM," referring to one of the NSA programs.
Merkel has also sought to keep the issue from damaging relations with the U.S.
"With every day it becomes clear to the United States that this is important for us," she said. "Germany is not a nation of surveillance. Germany is a nation of freedom."
Following the press conference, Merkel's center-left challenger, Peer Steinbrueck, termed her comments a sign of "alarming cluelessness and helplessness."
"I get the impression that she is simply sitting waiting in the chancellery for our American partners to inform her," he told broadcaster RBB Inforadio.
Also Thursday, justice ministers from Germany and France signed a joint declaration pushing for new rules to protect EU citizens' privacy rights and punish violators. At a meeting in Lithuania, EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said the European push for tougher data protection rules is "an anti-PRISM action."

Fixed Income Portfolio Management in a Low Rate Environment
Natixis Asset Management's Fixed Income investment division is pleased to present its latest research publication. Composed by the Quantitative Research and Analysis team, the document highlights the theme of portfolio management in a low rate environment.
"At the beginning of 2016, negative interest rates that would have been unconceivable a few years ago on the fixed income markets can be observed. This state of affairs is very difficult to sustain for certain investors and raises a few questions that we want to explore in this paper. […]
In the first part of this paper we examine the reasons of a decline in natural rates and the economic issues raised by low and negative interest rates.
In the second part of the paper we will see how financial models deal with this possibility and the implications of low rates on the pricing of long rate instruments. […] In the third part, we analyze the impact of a low rate environment on risk and allocation models."

"Skills and understandings that are unique to the discipline"
Last month Abby Reisman spoke at the National Council for Social Studies meeting about her experiments in teaching U.S. history to high school juniors. Craig Thurtell's report on that talk for the History News Network listed Reisman's theoretical bases:
One premise of this approach holds that history requires the application of certain cognitive skills and understandings that are unique to the discipline.I was particularly struck by the assumption that the skills for studying history don't come naturally. But surely after a certain age (and Piagetian stage) we learn that life is "not a single story, but a contested one." We learn that the same events appear differently to different people because of incomplete knowledge, competing desires, divergent attitudes, and other factors. Is it actually counterintuitive to apply the same thinking to the past?
A second premise is that these skills are neither natural nor intuitive; on the contrary, to be learned effectively, they require an explicit naming and repetitive use. They must be incorporated into history curricula as an essential component of historical understanding.
Another premise is that when students approach history as an inquiry-based enterprise, they come to grasp that history is not a single story, but a contested one, and they can, once they have mastered the skills, make their own meaning out of the evidence left to us by the past.
With this understanding, the study of history can actually provoke excitement—the late Roy Rosenzweig's nationwide survey of attitudes toward history classes found that "boring" was the most common word associated with the subject.
Perhaps it is. Perhaps we want our past to be more stable and uncontested than our present. We can tolerate uncertainty in the present because we believe that time will bring enough knowledge to settle the contest of views. The present may be unfolding, we acknowledge, but the past should be bound in a narrative.
That desire for solidity might be particularly strong when it comes to the past that's shaped our collective identity and is therefore most likely to be taught in our schools. In other words, it's all very well to admit that the history of Serbo-Croatian mining claims is contested, but many Americans want the history of the U.S. Constitution to be rock-solid.
Another detail:
Reisman emphasized that she often found it necessary to modify the language in documents to make them accessible to struggling readers. She acknowledged that this practice is controversial, with many (this writer included) fearing the damage to the "pastness" and integrity of historical documents. Reisman argued pragmatically that the use of documents, crucial to any interrogation of the past, would be rendered impossible for struggling readers without modification.I wrestle with the same questions here. I preserve spelling, capitalization, and punctuation from sources I quote. However, for this online format I have to alter the style of emphases and abbreviations. And, as in the first passage quoted in this posting, I sometimes break long paragraphs to make them easier to read on the web. Because when I read stuff on the web, I often have even less patience than I did as a high-school junior.

Severe Weather Possible in East Texas on Thursday
The National Weather Service is predicting storms across East Texas on Thursday morning, and some of them could reach severe limits.
NOAA weather models are showing a developing low pressure system over the Southwestern U.S. and is predicted to move into Western Texas by Wednesday evening and across East Texas Thursday morning.
Moisture moving northward from the Gulf of Mexico will interact with a cold air mass increasing the probability of severe weather and the threat of very strong gusty winds and hail. Tornado activity appears to be low at this time.
East Texans are encouraged to keep up with the latest weather information during the next 24 hours.

After the professional editing, I published some chapters of the books:
Here are their shorter pitches:
In 1936 a divorced Bulgarian operastar Sofia marries an Italian ambassador Count Giovanni despite heavy obstacles. After his death she awakes in a hospital struggling how to free herself from her past without anger and revenge.
Searching for his first friend, a celestial boy lands on the planet Earth during a cosmic storm. Encountering mysterious inhabitants in an ancient castle, he overcomes their obstacles, pitfalls and while discovering deeply hidden secrets of humankind, The Prince from Sagittarius Galaxy finds an unexpected friend.
Actively searching for a publishers for my books: the young adult "THE PRINCE FROM SAGITTARIUS GALAXY" and the fiction "MYSTERIOUS HERITAGE".
Each opportunity is welcome!
Synopsis: MYSTERIOUS HERITAGE
40 year-old Italian ambassador, Count Giovanni Di Castellano, breaks all the rules of his world, when in New York in the 1930s, he falls in love with Sofia Assenova, a divorced, Bulgarian opera-star at Milano's La Scala. She gives up her brilliant career and converts to Roman Catholicism to obtain permission to marry Giovanni from the Italian King Victor Emanuel the Third, and from the Vatican.
During turbulent times of World War Two, Count Di Castellano is forced to resign after years of high profile work in Rome, Paris, Moscow, London, Morocco, and New York and returns home to Sicily. After his premature death, Sofia wakes up in a Sicilian mental home under pill's effect and tries to unpuzzle what has happened with her and why, struggling how to free herself from that place and from her past without anger and thirst for revenge. Seven years later Sofia is saved with great difficulty. She recovers her inner peace in a monastery, settles her accounts up in court while finding a way back to her grown-up son, the new heir of the Di Castellano family.
Questions, rivalry, guilt and mysteries unfold in a unique love story.
Synopsis of the young adult fiction "THE PRINCE FROM SAGITTARIUS GALAXY":
A celestial Prince lived alone on his tiny planet at the end of Sagittarius Galaxy. In a search for his first friend, the young boy caught a passing comet and deluded by haze of star-dust, entered the Solar System.
Landing on the planet Earth he found himself on an unbelievably beautiful island. There, at the Valley of the Temples, the ancient Olympic Gods had been spending their summer vacations for millennia. Trying to meet the little god of friendships among them, The Prince from Sagittarius Galaxy started his first adventure on Earth in the first part of the book. The lonely starry boy faced challenges he had never experienced at other corners in the cosmos.
Coming back in the second part of the book, after many trips to other celestial spheres, the starry boy fell in a volcano's throat, sliding to Earth's heart to save the planet after discord between Olympic Gods caused great disaster.
The celestial boy followed a young teen company in the third part of the book, in hope to make a friend among them at least, and took part in their unusual experience in an ancient castle. Being under a spell, the building became the strangest place in human's world with mysterious inhabitants and secrets. Its possessor, the greatest Master of magic, had been trying to harness the nature's elements and cosmic' forces to become immortal as prescribed in a magical manuscript written and hidden long ago by the Olympic Gods.
In spite of finding successfully unexpected support and friends, The Prince had to depart for his endangered home, keeping secrets about planet Earth.
I have received a nice letter from my editor, the English author Catherine Green:
"Dear Borislava,
I much prefer the edited version of "Mysterious Heritage". It feels much more exciting, even though I have read the whole story in the past, now I found myself eager to know about the main characters simply from the very first few chapters, as though I was caught up in the mystery just like their son."
2014. My publisher is bought by a bigger one. I have new, interesting options concerning my writing path. I hope all is for better.
"The Starlight Prince" will have new editing.
I have received some possible covers for my future book "Mysterious Heritage" and I have to say I fell in love with them. So nice job did friends of mine, who painted them out for my still unfinished story!
Warmest wishes to all for a Happy Holiday season and a Wonderful New 2013 Year!

Summer time! A year ago The Starlight Prince was published. From all my texts it first came into the world and I am very biased to the starry boy and his unique mission to find a first friend on his travel through Milky Way Galaxy. Now the time is for my second book Affairs of The Heart.
I hope people would love to spend a quiality time with my heroes and their spelling stories. They were a wonderful, friendly company of mine during the long hours of writing.
27 May, 2011
The first birthday of my second published book Affairs of The Heart is coming:
I am thrilled!
15 May, 2011
Numbered days before Affairs of The Heart /http://borislavaborissova.quenit.com/books/affairs-of-the-heart.html/ to be published, I read again and again the candid words about the book from the prominent Turkish author and translator Orhan Tuncay. They warmed my heart up:
1. It is a love story of opposite sides and difficulties involved. It is the sad story of human beings and wars and ideologies.
2. It is poetic. May be you, Borislava, are writing poems.
3. It is historic, but not deeply involved with the historic events. This approach is better for me. Because detailed historic novels are very dangerous. They mix the truth with fiction. This story rather focuses on relations.
4. It is objective. If I did not know that a Bulgarian writer had written it, I will be in difficulty on deciding the nationality of the writer. In addition, I am surprised to see that you know a lot about Turkey.
5. It is against ideologies. I took a paragraph below. I believe that ideologies are for rules so that they become stronger:
"If there is a new war, I will consider retiring. My country won nothing from the whole butchery of the Balkan wars. The great powers imposed their will despite what thousands of soldiers did on the fronts. Many victims fell, and the ones who were lucky enough to remain alive are exhausted now. Ordinary people are always the greatest losers in every war."
There is a saying in Turkish: "The grass is crushed while the elephants struggle above."
6. The composition - time frame - your approach is preferred by various writers. There are some who write in more difficult time frame on purpose. In my opinion this is not a negative aspect of a novel and your event schedule is traceable.
Let me tie my opinions with my short verses:
This is the story of love
This is asking for hatred: "How?"
This is the story of humanity
This is the steel cold reality!
I wish you success!
10 May, 2011
Once a blogger asked me: "Borislava, what's the most interesting comment you've received about your books?" Now I can say, one of the most touching is written by Stephanie:
Her approach to the story and hero, The Starlight Prince is marvellous!

Happy New Year!
I am coming back :))) I sent 2010 off with gratitude for all people, who were with me on my road of life. After saying it to them, I took a taxi to see all districts in my native town of Sofia on the threshold of New Year, to enjoy decorations, to feel the spirit. During my city's trip I said "Goodbye" to 2010 at the airport seeing the flying off airplanes and imaging how the leaving year boarded one of them along many passengers.
A few minutes later passing by icy streets, snowy trees and homes, I stopped at the railway station along travellers with baggages taking compartments in good spirit to look at how 2010 found its place among them to be on its final travel by train.
An hour later, with people using the ski-lift going to Vitosha mountain the leaving year had her last visit to the most beautiful parts of my homeland.
At the bus-station I offered my own company so 2010 would not leave alone while all welcome New 2011. We went on together and reaching the sea-shore we got down the bus. We spent her last minutes sailing Black Sea, Bosforus, Marmora Sea on a ship... Like a cup of sand between fingers, like torrent her time had been over and 2010 went away to take its deserved rest somewhere where its closest ones - 2009; 2008; 2007 etc. waited for her already.
I remained with twinkling stars, light-breathing waves, and bright Moon when the fresh seawind escorted the speedily coming 2011 and it accepted long cheers.
So hope it will be very good and friendly for everyone! Good luck!
28 December 2010
I am going at a good distance off to celebrate New 2011. Wish a wonderful New Year Eve's Party!
Have a great 2011 Year!
25 December, 2010
Happy festive time! Let love, success, health and happiness be the best friends to everyone in 2011!
20 December 2010
This week the winter holiday begins. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone. Let all New Year's Resolutions come true in 2011! Be lucky, healthy and loved! Enjoy festive days :)))
14 December, 2010
A few days only before Christmas, New 2011 Year and the big holiday... a time to stay in my warm room in the very snowy city and to strike a balance for 2010, to prepare my wish-list for the next one: "Loving Heaven, good and white, suffusing the earth with beautiful snow on all sides and magic light by glittering crown of stars above, give us peace and piece of love, and also for hopefulness might!"
21 November, 2010
"To be or not to be"; "to write or not to write"; "to start a new book or never start a new book"... Somehow this it the time for the answer whether I want or don't want to write anymore.
The Starlight Prince; Affairs of the Heart with The last secrets of the ancient island" and A Love in Time of Wars; Somewhere around us are behind me.
Now I have material for two stories, historical and contemporary, having them in mind for a long time I am used to taking some notes about the heroes, dialogue, scenes that would come in use in the process of writing. There is no working time nor a precise map to follow when I write a story. My heroes will be every hour with me even when I travel or have a dinner, or prepare for sleep and their destiny could be changed during my work thankfully to any new idea... I also have done my historical research because I like to be very accurate in historical references before sitting down behind my laptop.
And I still have to decide... "writing or not writing"...
21 October, 2010
I put one more section on my web-site, my book Affairs of the Heart will be published in 2011:
It consists two novels, the contemporary love drama "The last secrets of the ancient island" and the historical love drama "A Love in Time of Wars".
I have no patience to see them wrapped in covers up, sleping in my hands :)))
17 October, 2010

14 September, 2010
In my free time I have been working very hard on the editing of my second book: www.roseheartbooks.com/borislavaa.html
It will consists two novellas: "The last secrets of the ancient island" and "A Beautiful Story (A Love in Time of Wars)".

I hope many friends will be there, will be with me through ages, through countless earthy and celestial places and adventures of my heroes. Fortunately my imagination created them and they became a very friendly company of mine during the long hours of writing:
"If the human's world becomes boring, you have the sky, the non-stop moving stars. They change everything so the endless earthy years are never one and the same."
I am glad www.roseheartbooks.com/index.html came true my dream to be a published author.
June, 2010

And so, Sicily is:
The island where history is not just science but witchcraft, where the land is not simply beautiful green fields surrounded by three turquoise seas, but something more - the scene of legends and secrets, the world where love is not only love but passion, a sense of life... My inspiration :)))
May 02, 2010
I am on my road to Sicily... very exciting to be behind the shadows of my heroes, to have a sense of their presence on the island :)))

About Glock 31
Glock Ges.m.b.H., trademarked as Glock is one of the most famous and successful firearm producer, well known all over the world. Engineer Gaston Glock, company's founder who had no experience with firearms manufacture or design, became one of the most successful firearms designer of all times. Glock had extensive experience in advanced synthetic polymers, knowledge of which was very important in the company's design of the first commercially successful line of polymer frame pistols.
Beginnings of this company were very interesting. Gaston Glock overheard a talk of two Austrian colonels, who were talking about the Army's Request for Proposal(RFP) for new short firearm. Glock asked the colonel if they need a new gun and he get a positive answer. He started the project immediately but as it were just a hobby for him. He had never used any gun before. He bought Walther P38, standard Austrian army duty gun, CZ 75, Beretta 92, Sig Sauer P220 9x19mm pistols. He started to stripe them down and when he found out how it is constructed he assembled them again. This method helped him to assimilate their manufacturing procedures and mechanical principles necessary for gun producing. Austrian army appealed to him that he has to show serial production gun for tests, not a prototype.
Glock answered he could design completely new gun in fixed term. So the construction of their new gun would not be so difficult, the gun should be made of less than 40 parts, that were placed in independent subgroups such as trigger mechanism, safety set and so on. It allowed to gunsmiths easy and quick replacing.
The Glock 31 is a short recoil operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered with .357 Sig ammunition. This gun model holds only an average amount of the ammunition in compare to other pistols of the same caliber. Maximum magazine capacity is 10 rounds. Frame of the 31 is made of polymer and its size and shape is quite similar to other models. The 31 belongs to the popular Glock polymer frame pistols. Glocks are really common as the sidearms of civilians, law enforcement agencies and military organizations around the world.
The Glock 31 pistol has no manual safeties. The trigger is the only operating element. All internal pistol safeties are deactivated when the unique single-action trigger is pulled and, on the other side, it becomes automatically activated when it is released. The 357 Sig cartridge was developed by the Sigarms in partnership with the Federal Cartridge. This cartridge uses a bottlenecked .40 S&W casing crimped to a 9mm bullet. Therefore the 357 Sig is not marked as '.357', as it is not truly a .357 caliber bullet, however is instead a standard 9mm bullet. The 357 Sig design is an attempt to develop a cartridge with stopping power that would be as powerful as the larger .357 Magnum revolver round, but in a smaller package. It should fit comfortably in the grip of a semi-automatic pistols. Unfortunately it is not as powerful as the .357 Magnum, but it exceeds the power of a .40 S&W cartridge.

DailyDirt: My Robot Lies Over The Ocean...
from the urls-we-dig-up deptAutonomous robots are popping up everywhere. Some can fly, and some can drive. Others can swim across the ocean. Considering that there are still a lot of places in the oceans not yet explored, fish-like robots could gather amazing amounts of data and help us keep an eye on 70% of the Earth's (water-covered) surface. Here are just a few projects that are working on ocean-faring bots.
- Robot fish can mimic how real fish look and move -- and even be accepted into schools of real fish. If these robot fish can figure out how to become fish leaders, they could navigate large numbers of fish directly into fishing nets or away from man-made pollution. [url]
- A Raspberry Pi might be the brains of one of the first autonomous robot boats to cross the Atlantic Ocean without human intervention. This FishPi bot will be solar powered, propelled by a small motor (no sailing!) -- and hopefully it won't get eaten by anything on its trip. [url]
- Underwater gliders have already crossed the Atlantic and are being put to use for scientific, military and commercial applications. These robots are relatively cheap to make and could be produced by the thousands to monitor the oceans. [url]

Sprklnh2o needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 272 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Annie Tsai Photography
I am a photographer who is looking to capture the most special moments in my client's lives - Wedding, maternity, family or celebration. My main focus is wedding photography. It's what I hold most close to my heart because having been a bride myself I know just how much I value my wedding photos and how I would cherish it for the rest of my life. The style of my photography is FRESH, TIMELESS, HAUTE COUTURE. Ideally, my logo would reflect that. I would like to incorporate a simplified version of my autograph as part of my logo (although not totally required- I may end up liking a logo w/out my autograph if it speaks clearly of my personality). I tend to be attracted to simple/cleaner logo designs that is clean because generally, it's more timeless that way but you can prove me wrong :). I would like to keep the color usage to 2-3 colors. Colors I love are light gray, muted lime green, yolk yellow, espresso brown. I encourage designers to incorporate photographic element shapes like - Cameras, lens, aperture frames but not required. Ultimately, I would pick one that I thought speaks to me closest to the three words I used - Fresh, timeless, haute couture. I hope this is clear. Feel free to contact me for more information!
My audience are mostly people in their 20+ range. Mostly couples who are getting married. Since usually brides are the ones looking into booking photographers, I would make sure the logo appeals more to women than men. I am trying to attract clients who are young, fashionable, fun and easy going.
Like I have mentioned in my self bio, the style of my photography is
I would really focus on those three elements to set the tone of the logo
I would like (but NOT required) to incorporate a simplified version of my autograph or initial as part of my logo (See attached file). This is just a scanned version of my signature hence the quality. Please do as you see fit to make it look nicer. Or if you have a font that looks similar, you can use it as well.
I also like to have "Annie Tsai Photography" in the logo somewhere
I would like to keep the color usage to 2-3 colors. Colors I love are light gray, muted lime green, yolk yellow, espresso brown.
You can also incorporate creative photographic element shapes like - Cameras, lens, aperture frames but not required.
Must look good on black or white backgrounds
Please provide the logo in a high resolution file that is good enough for me to print on a 12x12. I plan on using this image for business cards, website, photo albums, blog, custom printing dvds, flash drives and documents.
Feel free to contact me for more information!
Examples of logos I like:
I *REALLY* like this one. It's ok to not incorporate my signature in this case. This is an example that embodies the three elements I described: fresh, timeless and haute couture.
I love the simplicity of J*. It's so simple yet stylish
I like the use of signature here
I like how this one incorporated emblems

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) have informed representatives from the Ohio Valley
Conference and the Nashville Sports Council that the City of
Nashville has been awarded the 2014 NCAA Division I Women's
Basketball Final Four.
The event will take place in 2014 and be held at the Sommet Center in downtown Nashville with the Ohio Valley Conference serving as the host institution.
"We are honored and delighted to learn that the NCAA has selected Nashville as a site for the Women's Basketball Final Four!" said Dr. Robert Bell, Tennessee Tech president "This is a tremendous vote of confidence in Nashville, the Middle Tennessee Region, and the entire set of member schools of the Ohio Valley Conference.
"Tennessee Tech and the OVC are proud to be associated with this great venture, and we pledge to make this an outstanding experience for all of the student-athletes, university officials and fans associated with the Final Four," Bel said.
In conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Final Four, Nashville will also host the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) National Convention. The WBCA is the national association of approximately 5,000 basketball coaches representing all levels of the game, including junior high, AAU, high school, college and professional.
Nashville was one of five cities awarded the Division I Women's Basketball Final Four's between the years of 2012 and 2016. Other cities selected to host the Final Four during that time period include (with arena and host institution):
? 2012: Denver, Pepsi Center, Mountain West Conference.
? 2013: New Orleans, New Orleans Arena, University of New Orleans
? 2014: Nashville, Sommet Center, Ohio Valley Conference.
? 2015: Tampa Bay, St. Pete Times Forum, University of South Florida
? 2016: Indianapolis, Lucas Oil Stadium, Butler University/IUPUI/Horizon League
The process to secure the Division I Women's Final Four began in January with an initial meeting of the Music City Bid Committee, co-chaired by Vice-Mayor Diane Neighbors and Margaret Behm. The OVC and Nashville Sports Council submitted an official bid to the NCAA in June and were announced as one of the eight finalists in August. The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee and NCAA staff made a two-day visit to Nashville in mid-October and Nashville's local bid committee made a final presentation to the NCAA in Indianapolis on Nov. 12.
Music City Bid Leadership Quotes:
"This is great news for Nashville", said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. "I applaud the Sports Council, the Ohio Valley Conference and the bid committee for all the work they put into making this happen, specifically Vice-Mayor Diane Neighbors and Margaret Behm. This news speaks to what a great destination Nashville is for large events and their participants, and it helps validate the need for a new, much larger convention center downtown. This event is only possible because by 2014 the Music City Center will be open and fully operational. I look forward to Nashville hosting this event and to showing the Women's Final Four participants all that Music City has to offer."
"This is a great day for Music City," said Nashville Vice-Mayor and Music City Bid Committee Co-Chair Diane Neighbors. "The Nashville team worked very hard and produced a fantastic proposal. Over the next six years we will be putting together a Final Four that players, coaches, and fans won't forget. Congratulations Nashville!"
"The community wide support we have received throughout the bid process has been phenomenal," said Music City Bid Committee Co-Chair Margaret Behm. "That broad ranging support coupled with Middle Tennessee's long tradition of celebrating women's basketball makes Nashville the perfect host site for the 2014 Women's Final Four."
"We dreamed it and we did it," said Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher, Commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. "This is the result of a lot of people and organizations pulling together and working to develop a strong bid. The leadership of our co-chairs, Margaret Behm and Diane Neighbors, along with the strong bid team that was developed was instrumental in the success of this effort. I must also single out the Nashville Sports Council. Their expertise and experience in managing events played a critical role in our bid efforts."
"We are pleased that the NCAA has awarded the 2014 Women's Final Four to Nashville," said Nashville Sports Council President & CEO Scott Ramsey. "This event is one of the most high profile annual events on the national sports calendar and will bring tremendous national exposure, prestige and economic impact to our community. We look forward to beginning the planning and preparation to host an unforgettable experience for the student-athletes, fans and everyone associated with the Women's Final Four."
The Ohio Valley Conference, which is the nation's eighth oldest Division I athletic conference, is in its 61st year of competition in 2008-09. The OVC is comprised of 11 schools that represent five states. Member institutions include Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Eastern Kentucky University, Jacksonville State University, Morehead State University, Murray State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Northwestern closes with 37-34 win over Illinois
Northwestern backup quarterback Trevor Siemian threw for 414
yards and four touchdowns and Christian Jones caught 13 balls for
182 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Wildcats past Illinois
37-34 Saturday in the finale for both teams.
Siemian started for the injured Kain Colter and was 31-44.
The win ended a seven-game losing streak for Northwestern (5-7,
1-8 Big Ten)
The Wildcats gashed an Illinois defense that has given up big
yards and points all season. Northwestern's 560 total yards made it
the fifth team to top 500 yards against Illinois (4-8, 1-8).
Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was 31-45 for 307 yards
and two touchdowns in his last game at Illinois. His one
interception was a game-changer.
Trailing 30-27 early in the fourth quarter, Tyler Scott picked
off Scheelhaase at the Wildcat 47. Northwestern quickly scored the
decisive touchdown on a 7-yard pass from Siemian to Jones.

Sydney Seafood School
With 13,000 guests a year attending classes, Sydney Seafood School is Australia's leading cooking school.
It was established in 1989, when Sydney's food obsession was in its infancy; French was the largest category in leading restaurant guides and Asian flavours, taken for granted today, were still considered exotic. The NSW fishing fleet caught plenty of whiting, bream, snapper and flathead to supply the local market. But in doing so, they also netted octopus, squid, red mullet, crabs, mussels and other species with which shoppers weren't familiar … at least not familiar enough to take them home and cook them. A large part of the fishermen's catch was unwanted and sold as bait or for next to nothing to those who did appreciate it.
Initially established to create a demand for these more unusual species, the School has slowly broadened its reach to teach local, interstate and overseas food-lovers how to cook a huge variety of cuisines. While seafood is still its raison d'être, there's no longer any need to convince most people to try cooking with mussels, octopus or crabs, in fact abalone, sashimi, pipis and sea-snails don't daunt many of the food-savvy guests who now fill classes most weekday evenings and weekends. Asian flavours are in demand, with the Thai class among the most popular; and leading Australian chefs, including Christine Manfield, Matthew Moran and Guillaume Brahimi, are among the School's presenters.
All classes commence in the School's tiered auditorium with a demonstration of the dish or dishes to be prepared. It may look easy in skilled hands, but recreating it later in your own kitchen can be quite another thing. This is where Sydney Seafood School is unique … after watching the demonstration, guests roll up their sleeves and, in groups of five with guidance from the presenter and assistants, recreate the dishes, preparing a delicious seafood meal which they then sit down and enjoy with a complimentary wine tasting.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2009, the School underwent a major refurbishment by leading designer Michael McCann of dreamtime australia design, making it Australia's most beautiful cooking school with a stunning sandstone entry wall by award-winning sculptor Michael Purdy, Icelandic fish leather lining the auditorium, and wild 'blackboard graffiti' on the hands-on kitchen walls. Rich oak wood panelling, an aubergine-hued marble demonstration bench, sleek stainless steel and lots of glass complete the look.
Guests cook at custom-made, stainless steel cooking islands fitted with state-of-the-art Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a gas cooktop, oven, refrigeration unit and extraction system. Hettich soft close drawers, hinges and runners ensure all cabinetry opens and closes smoothly and silently and 46" High Definition LCD Sharp television screens above the demonstration bench ensure a perfect view of all the cooking action.
Once the cooking's over, guests adjourn to the dining room which features a 360-degree photomural of Blackwattle Bay and fishnet chandeliers with over 6,000 gently glowing globes. It's casual but comfortable with cloth serviettes, Villeroy & Boch china and Spiegelau glassware, plus coffee from the School's Nespresso coffee machines.
Sydney Seafood School conducts a wide range of classes for all skill levels, from a simple paella or stir-fry to the more complex weekend workshops with leading chefs. A vast array of cuisines and cooking styles are covered, including the School's most popular class, Seafood BBQ, using built-in 5-burner Beefeater gas barbecues and scheduled five or six times a month to keep up with demand!
Sydney Seafood School classes include:
- Demonstration by a leading chef or seafood educator
- Hands-on cooking session
- Seafood meal with wine tasting
- Parking
- Sydney Seafood School apron & recipe kit to take home
- Lunch
- Dinner

Mark, There are a couple of examples of tightly coupled apps that do either static or dynamic load balancing, but in most cases this load balancing was programmed in by the programmer above the MPI level. For example, ocean codes don't have to compute on land, so you can static load balance by using different-sized rectangles for your data decomposition. A system that does this invisibly is Charm++, used by namd, a molecular dynamics code. In namd's case the workload at a given point varies over time. Another classic example which isn't solved is in weather forecasting. Air columns with cumulus action (convection) take more time to compute than air columns without. But the ratio of computation to data size is small enough that it would require a really good interconnect to enable load-balancing this part of the computation. This is the kind of stuff that you'd never expect Mosix to magically load-balance. -- greg

This first video is of Charlize Theron for Funnyordie.com spoofing a very popular Youtube video. She is the only one I know who can make sitting on a toilet look so good. I particularly liked this one because it's Charlize out of her element. Need I say more?
He has another song, Bromance, that's just as funny (if not funnier) than Nice Guys. I especially liked when he interrupted his friend doing number two on the toilet. LOL. Check it out.

BALTIMORE (AP) ? Chris Davis homered twice to raise his major league-leading total to 30, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Yankees 11-3 Saturday night to extend New York's losing streak to four games.
Davis hit a three-run drive in the first inning and added a two-run shot in the sixth, his third multihomer game of the season. The five RBIs gave him 79, second-most in the big leagues and just six short of his career high.
Ryan Flaherty also homered for the Orioles, who built a 9-0 lead in the third against David Phelps (5-5). Baltimore will seek to complete a three-game sweep on Sunday.
Zach Britton (2-2) limited the offensively challenged, injury-riddled Yankees to one earned run over 5 2-3 innings.

U.S. Representative Larry Bucshon recognized the 40–year milestone of the Woods Online program of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Washington, D.C. Bucshon read the congratulatory message on the floor of Congress on Thursday, June 13, 2013.
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) was the second college in the nation to offer a distance bachelor's program. In 1973, then president Jeanne Knoerle, SP, '49, founded the distance program, Women's External Degree (WED), as a higher education option for women who were putting in solid hours of work, while also raising children and caring for their families. She said at a recent celebration on campus, "I believed in my heart that women's colleges offered an education to women that was uniquely valuable. I'd been thinking for some time about alternate ways that SMWC could offer a college degree to anyone – man or woman – without the college itself becoming coed."
In 2005, WED became coed and today it is known as Woods Online. Today, the College has more than 800 distance students from 33 states and all across the globe, including England, Greece, Hong Kong and Jamaica. The Indianapolis Business Journal recognized SMWC in August 2012 as having one of the largest online degree programs in the state of Indiana.
Ironically, Knoerle died four days (June 10, 2013) before Bucshon shared with Congress about the 40th Anniversary of Woods Online.
President of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Dottie L. King, Ph.D. said, "As Providence would have it, I received a video today of Congressman Larry Bucshon reading a congratulatory announcement of 40-years of distance education to the Congress in Washington D.C. In it, he mentions Sister Jeanne for bringing her bold vision to create a program, which was both cutting edge and forward thinking at a pivotal time in the history of The Woods. How fitting it is to be hearing her name read on the floor of Congress this week as we celebrate her life and legacy."
Bucshon's message has become a part of a yearlong celebration by the College of Woods Online. SMWC held an official reception on campus in May where Mayor Duke Bennett of Terre Haute read a proclamation from the city at the event. President Dottie King, Co-Chancellor Jeanne Knoerle, SP, Director of Woods Online Gwen Hagemeyer, and Tuesday Strong, a graduate of the program all spoke on the uniqueness of Woods Online in higher education.
Strong summed up the essence of the program. "Little did I know when I began the program that being able to continue my education while working full-time and being supported by the faculty and staff, that this would be life-changing for me. It inspired me to believe in myself and empowered me to continue my education."

Good morning.
There's something to this Santa rally, even if the end of the world potentially takes some of the shine off of it.
As Jeffrey Hirsch of the Stock Trader's Almanac points out, now is just about the time when the theory comes into play.
The proof is in the tape so far this week, as stocks are two for two. And with a strong report from technology bellwether Oracle, the third leg of this week's rally looks likely.
Maybe even shunned gun-maker stocks could be due for a bounce after getting crushed this week in the wake of the Connecticut shootings, though traders aren't exactly convinced just yet. At least they don't want to admit it publicly.
The fact that insiders are selling might be a spanner in the Christmas advance, though one money manager said that's no reason to panic. Wait until January for that.
Key market gauges: Spain's IBEX /quotes/zigman/2759620 XX:IBEX is pacing solid gains in Europe, while futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 are set to follow suit. In Japan, the Nikkei /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:100000018 had a big day with a 2.4% rally, its first move through the 10,000 level in eight months.
The economy: MBA weekly mortgage applications fell sharply from the prior week. November housing starts showed a 3% drop while building permits rose 3.6%. Bill McBride of the Calculated Risk blog says he expects 2013 to be "another solid year for housing starts," though the forecasts still point to the sixth lowest year since 1959.
Read the Economics Report and follow @MKTWGoldstein.
The buzz: FedEx /quotes/zigman/254280 /quotes/nls/fdx FDX jumped into trader focus as the open approached, with shares moving higher after the company posted its second-quarter earnings. Read why FedEx, not Alcoa, should be the traditional earnings-season kick starter.
A big day in Detroit is also rattling the cyber-hive after the Treasury announced its plans to finally get rid of its remaining stake in General Motors /quotes/zigman/1466682 /quotes/nls/gm GM in the next 12 to 15 months. Shareholders are loving the news, which is sending the stock up almost 10% in premarket trades.
Oracle /quotes/zigman/76584 /quotes/nls/orcl ORCL shares are holding on to overnight gains, adding almost 2% premarket after the software giant toppled Wall Street's projections for its second quarter. Message volume is understandably spiking on StockTwits and several chartists are calling for a breakout. Read why Therese Poletti is calling Oracle's outlook for its hardware business "a nice holiday surprise" for investors.
Gun stocks are still firmly on the radar as traders mull the chances for a bounce. But after yesterday's 10% drop in Smith & Wesson /quotes/zigman/87396 /quotes/nls/swhc SWHC and 8% decline in Sturm Ruger /quotes/zigman/242215 /quotes/nls/rgr RGR , there just isn't much bull sentiment wafting around. Check out why the bears "are now 100% in control" in this post from Zenpenny.com entitled "The day that marked the end of the run in gun stocks."
Commence the downgrades.
Other top-trending tickers to check out include the SPDR Gold Shares ETF /quotes/zigman/41663 /quotes/nls/gld GLD , with the precious metal testing its 200-day moving average, and Intuitive Surgical /quotes/zigman/90651 /quotes/nls/isrg ISRG , noted as one of "five stocks that may win from Obamacare."
Apple is never too far down the buzz list. The stock is mostly flat premarket though volume is perking up after Piper Jaffray named the stock its top Internet pick for 2013 with a $900 price target. Here's an oversold call from Minyanville.
The chart of the day: Reuters ran this visual as part of its "The Unequal State of America" series. It illustrates "the plunder and accelerating destruction of America's middle class," according to the Zero Hedge blog, which ran another scathing rebuke of our "co-opted, conflicted and controlled marionette government."
The call of the day: The big short right now? Germany, says MarketWatch's Matthew Lynn. After a decade as an export powerhouse and perhaps the best-performing developed economy, it's time to say auf wiedersehen to the boom times and say hallo to debt, heaping mounds of debt. "The benchmark DAX index /quotes/zigman/2380246 DX:DAX will crash and bund prices will fall sharply as Germany's liabilities become evident," Lynn wrote in his London Eye column.
Random reads: Wired.com's 15 most dangerous people in the world, including a randy Paula Broadwell and some guy behind furthering the unsettling idea of 3-D printable, downloadable guns.
Apple's /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL "magic money machine" is running out of gas as we near the end of the iPhone's explosive growth. And there may never be another product from Apple like it, writes Business Insider's Jay Yarrow.
Here's one tip for prospective mall Santas everywhere: Don't drink, swear or smoke. No kidding? Read some other tips that just might apply to you as well, from The Wall Street Journal's At Work blog.
Also from The Wall Street Journal, this "Build your own hedge fund" post drew a biting retort a few days later from the Random Roger blog entitled, "NOT how to create your own hedge fund."
Are you ready for the imminent apocalypse? Do you have access to an ark or a survival pod? Well, you have some catching up to do if you want to make it through the weekend. This story might give you some ideas. (h/t @JeffMacke).
And no respectable blog post would be complete without a video showing a baby nearly being carried away by a golden eagle, complete with slow-motion replay.

Tropical Storm Chantal skirted the southern coasts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti on Wednesday, losing force but heavy rain still posed a threat to some of the region's most vulnerable people.
The storm did not make landfall on the island of Hispaniola shared by the two nations. But Chantal brought heavy rain to areas prone to flooding and landslides in places where many people live in flimsy homes of plywood and corrugated steel.
In both countries, people fortified houses with tarps and wood and gathered supplies, largely ignoring warnings to leave their neighborhoods.
"We're going to wait until it's over. We're already used to this," said 36-year-old Sergio Guzman, who along the banks of a river near Santo Domingo.
A Dominican firefighter was killed in the community of Maimon, about 50 miles (85 kilometers) north of the capital, Santo Domingo, when he was swept away by floodwaters as he tried to clear a storm drain, said Luis Luna, director of the country's civil defense agency. The death of 26-year-old Juan Ramon Rodriguez was believed to be the first caused by Chantal, which began moving through the Caribbean on Tuesday.
Authorities were evacuating thousands of people from communities considered at high risk for flooding as rivers near the capital and along the southern coast reached dangerously high levels as heavy rains from the storm continued to fall.
"We're not in the clear yet," said Juan Manuel Mendez, the director of the Emergency Operations Center.
As showers began falling along Haiti's southern coast Wednesday afternoon, officials took to the radio airwaves to urge people to move away from ravines, secure important records and stock up on food and water.
"There's not much I can do," Stevenson Etienne, a 40-year-old welder, said from his garage in downtown Port-au-Prince. "Still, I will try to protect myself and my children."
Chantal was about 145 miles (235 kilometers) south of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince Wednesday afternoon, moving west at 29 mph (46 kph), with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. It was on track to head north across Cuba and toward the Bahamas and Florida, but forecasters said the storm would likely weaken to a tropical depression by Thursday.
A tropical storm warning was in effect Wednesday for Haiti, Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas. A tropical storm watch was in effect for Jamaica and the central Bahamas.
Even a weaker Chantal could create problems for the rural southern peninsula of Haiti and southwestern Dominican Republic.
Storms often trigger flooding and landslides on Hispaniola, and severe deforestation and makeshift housing make Haiti especially vulnerable.
Port-au-Prince is a hilly city on the ocean that's surrounded by vast concrete shanties that collapse in mudslides, sometimes killing people. Also, about 279,000 Haitians still live in ramshackle settlements established after a devastating 2010 earthquake.
Last year, a hurricane and a tropical storm separately caused widespread flooding after merely brushing Haiti.
Marie Alta Jean-Baptiste, general director for Haiti's Civil Protection Department, said the government had prepared 400 emergency shelters nationwide. She urged people to tie up livestock, monitor the radio for updates and avoid crossing rivers.
American Airlines canceled flights to Haiti and elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Chantal raced through the eastern Caribbean early Tuesday, with officials in Dominica reporting that heavy winds ripped the roofs off several homes. No injuries were reported there or anywhere else in the region.
Overnight, the storm passed south of Puerto Rico, leaving about 7,000 people without power and more than 2,500 people without water. Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla ordered public employees in the U.S. territory to return to work on Wednesday.
The U.S. Coast Guard said all Puerto Rican ports had reopened except those on the southern and western coasts.
Associated Press writers Daniel and Evens Sanon reported from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and Lopez from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Danica Coto in San Juan, Puerto Rico contributed to this report.
