Value-at-Risk Based Risk Management: Optimal Policies and Asset Prices
AbstractThis article analyzes optimal, dynamic portfolio and wealth/consumption policies of utility maximizing investors who must also manage market-risk exposure using Value-at-Risk (VaR). We find that VaR risk managers often optimally choose a larger exposure to risky assets than non-risk managers and consequently incur larger losses when losses occur. We suggest an alternative risk-management model, based on the expectation of a loss, to remedy the shortcomings of VaR. A general-equilibrium analysis reveals that the presence of VaR risk managers amplifies the stock-market volatility at times of down markets and attenuates the volatility at times of up markets.

Welcome to the ninth installment of Enumerating Enumerable, the series of articles where I attempt to do a better job at documenting Ruby's
Enumerable module than Ruby-Doc.org does.
I'm going through the
Enumerable's methods in alphabetical order, and we've reached the methods that are variations on
each In this article, I'm going to cover
each_cons, which got introduced in Ruby 1.9.
If you missed any of the earlier articles, I've listed them all below:
Enumerable#each_cons Quick Summary
|In the simplest possible terms
|Think of
each_cons as an
each that takes a number n and spits out n elements at a time.
|Ruby version
|1.9 only
|A number n describing the number of elements to be fed to the block.
|RubyDoc.org's entry
Enumerable#each_cons and Arrays
When used on an array and given a block and a number n as an argument,
each_cons is like an
each that goes through each element in the array and outputs an n-sized array slice of the original array starting at the current element.
each_cons is one of those methods that's really tough to describe. This is one of those cases where a demonstrating trumps describing…
justice_league = ["Aquaman", "Batman", "Black Canary", \
"Flash", "Green Arrow", "Green Lantern", \
"Martian Manhunter", "Superman", \
"Vixen", "Wonder Woman"]
=> justice_league = ["Aquaman", "Batman", "Black Canary", "Flash", "Green Arrow",
"Green Lantern", "Martian Manhunter", "Superman", "Vixen", "Wonder Woman"]
justice_league.each_cons(3) {|team| p team}
=> ["Aquaman", "Batman", "Black Canary"]
["Batman", "Black Canary", "Flash"]
["Black Canary", "Flash", "Green Arrow"]
["Flash", "Green Arrow", "Green Lantern"]
["Green Arrow", "Green Lantern", "Martian Manhunter"]
["Green Lantern", "Martian Manhunter", "Superman"]
["Martian Manhunter", "Superman", "Vixen"]
["Superman", "Vixen", "Wonder Woman"]
=> nil
Note that in this case,
each_cons returns
each_cons can also be used without providing a block. In this case, you're using it to create an
Enumerator object that you can then use to spit out array slices when you call its
next method:
# Let's create an enumerator that we can use to give us three-person
# superhero teams
teams_of_3 = justice_league.each_cons(3)
=> #
Enumerable#each_cons and Hashes
When used on a hash and given a block and a number n as an argument,
each_cons is like an
each that goes through each element in the array and outputs an n-sized array slice of the hash starting at the current element. Note that in the process, hash elements are converted into two-element arrays where the first element contains the key and the second element contains the corresponding value.
Again, examples speak louder than descriptions:
enterprise_crew = {:captain => "Picard",
:first_officer => "Riker",
:science_officer => "Data",
:tactical_officer => "Worf",
:chief_engineer => "LaForge",
:chief_medical_officer => "Crusher",
:ships_counselor => "Troi",
:annoying_ensign => "Crusher",
:attractive_ensign => "Ro",
:expendable_crew_member => "Smith"}
=> {:captain=>"Picard", :first_officer=>"Riker", :science_officer=>"Data", :tact
ical_officer=>"Worf", :chief_engineer=>"LaForge", :chief_medical_officer=>"Crush
er", :ships_counselor=>"Troi", :annoying_ensign=>"Crusher", :attractive_ensign=>
"Ro", :expendable_crew_member=>"Smith"}
enterprise_crew.each_cons(3) {|team| p team}
=> [[:captain, "Picard"], [:first_officer, "Riker"], [:science_officer, "Data"]]
[[:first_officer, "Riker"], [:science_officer, "Data"], [:tactical_officer, "Worf"]]
[[:science_officer, "Data"], [:tactical_officer, "Worf"], [:chief_engineer, "LaForge"]]
[[:tactical_officer, "Worf"], [:chief_engineer, "LaForge"], [:chief_medical_officer, "Crusher"]]
[[:chief_engineer, "LaForge"], [:chief_medical_officer, "Crusher"], [:ships_counselor, "Troi"]]
[[:chief_medical_officer, "Crusher"], [:ships_counselor, "Troi"], [:annoying_ensign, "Crusher"]]
[[:ships_counselor, "Troi"], [:annoying_ensign, "Crusher"], [:attractive_ensign, "Ro"]]
[[:annoying_ensign, "Crusher"], [:attractive_ensign, "Ro"], [:expendable_crew_member, "Smith"]]
=> nil
As with arrays,
each_cons, when used on a hash, returns
Again, as with arrays,
each_cons can also be used without providing a block to create an

Imagine a shale gas boom in which wellpads never slip. Spills are almost unheard of and never reach streams or groundwater. Neighbors never complain of smells and headaches.
Triana Energy of Charleston, for one, is operating in that boom.
"We really have put a special focus on environmental stewardship as well as our safety practices," said James "Eddy" Grey, Triana chief operating officer.
Triana operates wells from southern West Virginia to north-central Pennsylvania and was the No. 12 shale gas producer in West Virginia in 2011, the most recent year for which complete data are available.
It claims to be the only producer in the Appalachian Basin that is certified by the respected International Organization for Standardization. The company became certified in 2010 to the ISO 14001 standard for Environmental Management Systems and conforms, separately, with the Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Services' 18001 Occupational Health and Safety standard.
"We do impose on ourselves a lot of internal standards that oftentimes go above and beyond what the regulatory requirements are," Grey said.
To be ISO 14001 certified, the company created an environmental management system, or EMS. It set targets for environmental performance and designed systems to achieve the targets. It reviews its progress to ensure the targets are met and then sets new targets for continual improvement.
Ongoing ISO review verifies independently that the EMS is effective and is actively implemented.
Fluids Management
Take, for example, a prevalent surface owner and community concern: the management of fluids.
For Triana, complete control of fluids starts with a wellpad that Grey described as a "bathtub."
"We put a lot of attention into the design of the sub-base, and then we use a pad beneath the liner to give it a good cushion — then the liner, all the way up and over the side berms," Grey said. The berm is a constructed earthen wall surrounding the site.
"We also put a pad on top of the liner," he said. "Above that we put a real fine material that's almost like sand. … On top of that we put a couple inches of fine stone and then, above that, we put 6 to 8 inches of gravel. So we create a multi-layer surface above the liner that is pretty difficult to get through and get a hole in the liner. If a vehicle would pull up on location and is leaking oil or has a brake line leak, we're 100 percent contained."
If the liner were somehow ruptured and fluids leaked through, the sub-base is compacted and sloped to collection areas.
Beyond spills, stormwater also has to be managed.
"We use a piping network and sumps to catch stormwater and we verify it's clean. If not, it goes through proper processing," Grey said. Captured stormwater may be used for operations, reducing the need to pipe or truck water in.
Finally, hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced water are recycled into the next well to be fractured, Grey said. When there is no well in development close by, the fluids might be taken to another operator or to a treatment and recycling facility or, as a last resort, disposed of through underground injection in a regulated disposal well.
Green Well Completion
In another example, Grey said Triana is ahead of the curve on the methane emissions that are the subject of Environmental Protection Agency regulation.
During the transition between hydraulic fracturing and full production, a well emits methane and other gases that can create health problems and contribute to smog. These commonly have been vented to the air, but the EPA now is requiring producers to flare these gases and, by January 2015, to use "reduced emissions" or "green" well completion equipment to capture them and direct them into the pipeline.
Triana is doing it now.
"If we're in an area where we're drilling the initial wells and do not have a pipeline to that wellpad, we will flare any methane that would exhaust during that flowback phase," Grey said.
"But in a proven area, where we have pipeline infrastructure, we'll build the pipeline to the pad prior to fracking wells," he said. "When we do that, we're able to do green completions rather than flaring. The methane actually goes into the pipeline — that's just become the standard way of doing things once we have a known field."
A Discerning Third Party
Triana's wellpads are the best John King has seen.
As an environmental resource analyst with the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of the Environmental Advocate and previously a DEP water and waste inspector, King has toured many wellpads — most recently, a Triana site in Taylor County.
"The first thing I noticed is that the Triana sites have a stabilized ditch line from the top of the wellpad all the way down to the bottom with nice little water breaks, and all lined with rocks," King said, contrasting that with sites he's seen where sediment control appears to be an afterthought.
"On the wellpad, the 60-mil liner went all the way across the wellpad and across the berm," unlike sites where there may be no liner and no berm.
"Triana also had an oil-water separator at the corner of the pad and sediment catchments at the bottom of the pad," King said. "I thought, 'Holy cow, this is beautiful.' I really like that ISO — it seems to me having a third party that comes around and looks at your site is a definite bonus."
Many oil and gas operators contract wellpad construction out and accept the standards of the contractor. As operations move forward, other contractors may make changes to the pad. King said Grey told him that Triana puts one person in charge of a wellpad's integrity.
Grey confirmed the control Triana exerts over wellpads.
"We do hire a lot of things out. We try to employ a lot of people local to the area," he said. "But we develop our own standards in-house with our own engineers. … Then we have engineers oversee to make sure it's all physically built to our standards."
What's involved in certification?
The Certification Process
ISO certification typically takes from 6 to 18 months, according to managing consultant Jerry Skaggs of Trinity Consultants in Pittsburgh. One arm of Trinity helps companies set up and implement EMS, and an independent arm conducts verifying audits before registration with ISO.
"It's not just, 'Throw a bunch of procedures together and we're ready for registration,'" Skaggs said. "There are a lot of things that have to happen first, including identifying environmental impacts and having the employees involved in the process."
Once a company has designed its systems, it goes through a two-stage process with an ISO registrar, he said: a readiness review with feedback, and then, a few months later, the registration assessment. After certification is complete, the registrar conducts partial reviews once or twice a year and a recertification assessment every third year.
Cost of preparation and certification varies so widely from case to case, Skaggs said, that he did not want to put a range on it. Triana, which did not use Trinity's services, spent about $20,000 for one three-year cycle, according to Grey.
Skaggs emphasized the ISO's beneficial culture of improvement.
"Where you get the value out of implementing an ISO 14001 system and, really, the driver for the program as a whole is to give you that formalized discipline to continually improve your environmental performance," he said. "Without having the system in place to drive that improvement, it can drop to the back burner and you can miss opportunities for savings and reduction in impacts to the environment."
The Bottom Line
Straight up: It costs more.
"To do what we do up front is very expensive," Grey said.
Although the EPA figures methane capture pays for itself, for example, Grey said that hasn't been true for Triana.
"But if you look at the bigger picture — look at the environment, look at our greenhouse gas emissions, look at the whole world in its entirety — I guess there's more to it than that one particular well," he said.
Good wellpad construction isn't cheap either.
"On the other hand, if you're into a situation where you have an environmental mishap or something happens and you cause some contamination that has to be cleaned up, obviously that can be very expensive too," Grey said. "So we think that first and foremost it's the right thing to do but second, in the long run, we think it balances out."
Triana as a thriving concern, employing 55 at its Charleston headquarters alone, seems to make that case.
The company is even stepping up its environmental leadership, working with The Nature Conservancy to create tools and practices that would soften the impacts of shale gas development, particularly on Appalachian forests and streams.
"This work is new and untested," Grey said. "Neither The Nature Conservancy nor Triana can be sure of the effectiveness of such tools, but in our mutual commitment to ensuring we do the best we can to protect our natural assets, we are cooperating to see if such an approach adds value," he said. "If it does, the tools and practices will be shared widely with industry, regulators, agencies and other stakeholders."

So with my livestreams, there has been a significant break recently. I am very aware of this.
You see, I've been trying to write things quickly when on livestream so that people watching don't lose interest. As a result I think I'm cramping my creativity as I'm not giving myself time to work things over properly (and I think the quality of these tracks is suffering as a result).
I'd like to change this up to give cool live experiences that are interesting for you guys.
So over the next month or two I will be putting together a series of minimixes. These will be similar to the supernova set I did in October last year. I will be getting together a few tracks and writing a few remixes, and once a fortnight or once a month (depending on how hard this is to put together) I'll do a livestream where you can watch me do the unique form of DJ'ing where I put the track together on the fly with live FX, building them from the loops and riffs I've written. In addition, I will be incorporating some cool live elements like live playing of some of my instruments (keys and doing some live drums on the MPC pads, and maybe the zendrum).
I'm hoping that this will be both more enjoyable for you guys (and on a shorter time of 20-30 minutes so you aren't stuck watching me for hours on end fiddling with small sections of song), and should make me feel less worried about delivering something everyone will enjoy listening to.
What do you all think of this? I want to hear your feedback!

UPDATE: Two U. of Richmond women's basketball staff members were aboard the hot air balloon that crashed last night in Caroline County.
The field at Meadow Event Park, once filled with balloons and dozens of spectators, now has only packed tents behind the locked gates.
"I was real saddened last night when I heard there was an accident and we just have major prayers for the family and hope everyone is okay," said Sarah Frazier, who was looking forward to a getaway with her husband at this weekend's balloon festival. They even had plans to take a trip in a hot air balloon. "Our plan was to just go out this afternoon and I was convincing my husband to go up in a balloon, because I've done it before, but he is not going to do it now."
Instead, tragedy struck when this balloon struck a power line while trying to land and burst into flames, killing three and prompting organizer to cancel all remaining festival events.
Balloon festival organizers say the most important thing right now is the three victims and their family. Looking ahead to the future, they say it is unlikely that there will be another balloon festival at Meadow Event Park.
"Prayers go out to the victims and their families. Meadow Event Park staff is devastated by this just a shocking situation for everyone," Greg Hicks said.
Alternative plans are in the works for people who purchased festival tickets but were not able to attend. As the investigation takes center stage, many say they just want answers and closure for family members.

Wow I love that fixture! Who makes it? If it's Currey and Company I'll buy it tomorrow!
Very timely, I need to buy lighting for over my dining room table. Table is 42 inches wide, so am aiming for a 30 inch diameter fixture. Hey AT-ers, what you you think of this sonneman puri light fixture, or is there another 30 inch fixture you think I should consider? We want low profile to not impede our views out the window.
Thanks for the resource guide! I'm looking forward to checking out Farm Tek, and Barn Lighting Electric -I think they might have just what I'm looking for! Thanks!
There's a new award winning lighting resource called "Modern Maine" that AT should be covering...the designer lives on a tiny island off the coast of Maine yet has really a great esthetic. Would fit right in with this post.

Couchbase 2.0 Bet corrupts "long" c# fields
Sat, 10/06/2012 - 16:28
Server: Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
Client: C#
Confirmed Json string being written with .Save and the long value is correct during the save function.
In read function and also the Admin UI the value of the long field is incorrect. Here is an example:

UserId should be same as UserName as was confirmed during the .Save function.
Any ideas why the long

One Week With GNOME 3 Classic: Twenty-Eight Days Later
True to my word, I have spent the last twenty-eight days running GNOME 3 Classic. For the most part, I have been very happy with it. As I said in my last entry in the original series, I originally expected that I would ultimately decide to switch back to KDE when the experiment was over. Twenty days after my final entry, I have decided to stop using GNOME Classic, but not in favor of KDE.
Throughout the last month, I've grow accustomed to most of the behaviors in GNOME Classic, but I've discovered that there are a few things that I did *not* care for. Your mileage may vary, but here are my thoughts.

Tizen Development Units now available!
The Linux Foundation have today announced the next round of the Tizen development unit program is now available, with the Intel NUC and Samsung RD-PQ hardware devices being available. The Idea behind this program is to put the required hardware in developers hands so they can develop and test their applications on real hardware. It has to be noted that the Samsung RD-PQ device does not have GSM connectivity, and therefore can not be used as a real world device, which is a pity as developers do need real devices so late in the game.

HDMLHandheld Device Markup Language is used to format content for Web-enabled mobile phones. HDML is Openwave's (formerly known as phone.com) proprietary language, which can only be viewed on mobile phones that use Openwave browsers.
HDML came before the WAP standard was created. It uses Openwave's Handheld Device Transport Protocol (HDTP), instead of WAP.
Phones access HDML sites the following way:
Once the URL is typed into the phone, the phone sends the request to Openwave's UP.Link gateway. The gateway sends a HTTP request to the Web server. The Web servers returns the page via HTTP back to the Openwave UP.Link gateway. The gateway sends the data via HDTP to the wireless carrier's network and down to the phone.
HDML and the Openwave gateway are most popular throughout North America. In Europe, WML and the Nokia WAP gateway and browser are the emerging standard. However, some versions of Openwave browsers do interpret basic WML.
To serve HDML pages, administrators must add the text/x-hdml mime type to their Web servers.

Researchers Discover How Flu Gains Foothold in the Body
Mouse study illustrates the virus' bold attack on the immune system
SUNDAY, Oct. 20 (HealthDay News) -- If you've ever wondered how the flu virus succeeds at infecting so many people, a new study of mice may offer some insight.
The flu actually targets cells of the immune system that are best able to disarm the virus, according to the study. These first responders, known as memory B cells, produce antibodies that can bind to the virus and neutralize it. These cells also reside in the lung where they can protect against re-exposure to the virus.
Researchers found, however, that the flu virus attacks these memory B cells first to disrupt antibody production, allowing it to replicate more efficiently and prevent the immune system from mounting a second defense.
"We can now add this to the growing list of ways that the flu virus has to establish infection," study co-author Joseph Ashour, a postdoctoral researcher at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, said in an institute news release.
"This is how the virus gains a foothold," study co-author Stephanie Dougan, also a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Whitehead member Hidde Ploegh, explained in the news release. "The virus targets memory cells in the lung, which allows infection to be established -- even if the immune system has seen this flu before."
Memory B cells, which have virus-specific receptors, are difficult to isolate. To address this issue, the researchers attached a fluorescent label to the flu virus, which allowed them to identify flu-specific B cells. They then used a cloning technique to create a line of mice with virus-specific B cells and cell receptors.
The study authors suggested that the infectious process of the flu is probably used by other viruses as well. "We can now make highly effective immunological models for a variety of pathogens," Dougan concluded. "This is actually a perfect model for studying memory immune cells."
Scientists note, however, that research with animals often fails to produce similar results in humans.
"This is research that could help with rational vaccine design, leading to more effective vaccines for seasonal flu," Ashour said. "It might even suggest novel strategies for conferring immunity."
The study was recently published in the journal Nature.

Go to place for fine dinning????
I have not posted in a very long time. My go to places these days are I Nonni for Italian and La Belle Vie in the bar for french. I was a major Heidi's fan and La Belle Vie in the bar has been a really wonderful substitute. I nonni really has been a surprise. 15 dollar corkage. I had a $45 tasting menu that was just outstanding. Tilia has also been a regular for me. I went to a blind wine tasting there last sunday and the food was tremendous. What are your go to places for fine dinning????
May 22, 2014Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
It was a great loss to the TC. I do find the speculation below comical and somewhat inaccurate including some of the news sources.
Dec 08, 2013Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Cap Grill. They pour a little Sherry on top. It is always on the menu.
Dec 08, 2013Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Cap grill, Icehouse (foiegras), 112, the nook,Burger Jones, the Convention Grill
Sep 17, 2013Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
I have been very excited to try this concept. I love donuts and I am a foodie so I got the family up on a Sat. morning to trek down to Glam Doll. Two adults and two kids. We get to the front of the modest line only to confronted by a semirude order taker. We ordered 4 dounuts and a choloclate milk. We went to sit down in the mostly empty seating area and could not find one clean table. Meanwhile 5 or 6 of the servers were congregating at the front adjusting their fake hair.
The donuts arrive and they are all dry on the inside. No way they were fresh. What a let down. Nobody wanted seconds. We could not wait to get out of there.

What are your favorite inexpensive but tasty American whiskies?
I would echo some of the others:
All of the above are reasonably priced (less than $25 in my market). What is great about the above is that they are cheap enough you can mix them but they are good enough to stand on their own as a sipping Bourbon/Rye.
What is their corkage policy???
Apr 04, 2013Latinpig in Chicago Area
I have been mostly drinking Bourbon this winter so I may be a little off on the sweetness scale. Thanks for your imput. It does taste like a blend. I think there are much better whiskies for the dollar.
IMHO, you get a much better steak at Capital Grill for less money. Plus, Capital grill ages their meat.
Mar 31, 2013Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
I found the lobster to be very rubbery as well. For whatever reason, it was much better from the food truck a few years back. Will not be going back.
Mar 31, 2013Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Interesting. I expected it to be too sweet. My bottle isn't. Perhaps it is smoke and not peat. I am just wondering where the sweetness is.
Wow. This place was amazing. We started with a pork neck app that was simply out of this world. Anthony Bourdain would have loved it. The dipping sauce was amazing. We then had a couple of amazing entrees. One in a red curry sauce (panang) that was home made and probably the best I have ever had an a really delightful peanut sauce (Praram loang soang). Caution, mild is not mild at this restaurant. If you order mild, it is most restaurants medium. I loved it but others may find it too hot. I will go back to explore the seafood which looked amazing as well.

Local eats and good pizza near Brainerd, Nisswa area?
Ivan's probably has the best food in the area.
Mar 29, 2013Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
I have no idea. The only real significance is it is harder to find in the states now.
nsxtasy, great observation and suggestions. Would Blackbird also be too similar in your opinion?
Mar 29, 2013Latinpig in Chicago Area
The Ultimate (in my opinion of course) Martini garnish.......
I really like the Lehmann Farms Marinated mushrooms in my Martini. I use a little of the juice (dirty) as well. Trader Joes also makes there own at a much more ressonable price.
Best brands and ingredients for spirit infusions
I purchased a bottle of 2 Gingers Irish Whisky that id di not care for. I decided to infuse it. After much research, I found that bananas were a good match for Irish whisky. I infused it for a week with rasberries and bananas. It was a great dessert type drink.
I just purchased a bottle of this. I have not had it in years. I understand it is a big seller in Spain. It also is a component of some of the Johnnie Walker Blends. It is very peaty. My memory of it (going back 25 years) was that it was sweeter than it is now. Has anyone noticed a style change or is my memory faulty?
Is anyone aware of a commerce corner for spirits. There are many places to go to buy/sell/trade wine. Anything for Spirits?
I am coming in town in a few weeks. We are eating at Alinea Sat night. The other couple we are with suggested Graham Elliot for Friday night. I seem to recall it being a mixed bag there recently. My understanding is there has been a lot of turnover in the kitchen and not so much GE. How have recent experiences been. What would be a suitable replacment? Thanks!!!
Mar 29, 2013Latinpig in Chicago Area
Agreed. Just don't by the flavored kind!
Remember this from the 70s family boat trips. I know the reality is not as good as my memory but does anyone have a recipe for this? I think we drank a pre-mixed product from Heublein
The search for Barrel Proof/Strength Bourbon and Whiskeys
Yes. I originally intended only to include barrel proof offerings but then I wanted to add the last category to show some options at a more reasonable price which are not BP. FYI OGD 114 is considered barrel proof.
The search for Barrel Proof/Strength Bourbon and Whiskeys
Fine, we can call it high proof if you prefer.
The search for Barrel Proof/Strength Bourbon and Whiskeys
Thank u SKU
The search for Barrel Proof/Strength Bourbon and Whiskeys
I have spent the winter tracking down this rare and difficult breed of Bourbons/ whiskeys. What I have found is that if you can find them, in most cases the quality will blow you away. Below are some of my preliminary findings. Happy hunting.
Hall of fame - The best Bourbon/ whiskeys I have had in my life
George T. Stagg Bourbon
All stars - If you can find them, they are worth the extra bucks
Colonel EH Taylor Barrel Proof
Great Value propositions - Almost the quality of the above two groups but at a much smaller tariff.
Bookers (I was buying it this winter on sale for $35.99)
Great for mixing and sipping - These Bourbons/whiskeys are great for mixing but good enough to be quality sippers.
Rittenhouse Rye 100
I know there are many I have not tried yet. At the high end, I have not had the Parkers Heritage Collection Barrel Proof. I have also not purchased a bottle the 107 proof Wellers or the Wild Turkey Rare BReed. If there are some major gaps, let me know. I am always looking for new quality items to try.
Help me build my bourbon/rye collection
I would add:
1) Old Grand Dad 114
2) Bookers
3) Knobcreek Reserve
4) Bernheim (good wheat option)
5) Old Grand Dad 100 Bottled in Bond
6) Wild Turkey Rye 101 (If you can find it)
In town for a week. Is this place still open? Anyone have a better noodle option? Thanks!
Not sure if I am spelling it right but I am looking for a good laffa/shwarma combination in the TC.

6464.0 - House Price Indexes: Concepts, Sources and Methods, Australia, 2009
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 14/12/2009
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
12.4 Movements in indexes from one period to any other period can be expressed either as changes in index points or as percentage changes. The following example illustrates these calculations for the HPI for Sydney between December quarter 2005 and December quarter 2008. This procedure is applicable for any two periods.
For example:
less December quarter 2005 index number 93.5
equals change in index points 3.7
percentage change 3.7/93.5 x 100 = 4.0%
12.5 For most applications, movements in price indexes are best calculated and presented in terms of percentage change. Percentage change allows comparisons in movements that are independent of the level of the index. For example, a change of 2 index points when the index number is 120 is equivalent to a change of 1.7%, but if the index number were 80 a change of 2 index points would be equivalent to a change of 2.5% - a significantly different rate of price change. Only when measuring change from the index reference period will the points change be numerically identical to the percentage change.
12.6 The percentage change between any two periods must be calculated, as in the example above, by direct reference to the index numbers for the two periods. Adding the individual quarterly percentage changes will not result in the correct measure of longer-term percentage change. In other words, the percentage change between, say, the June quarter one year and the June quarter of the following year will not necessarily equal the sum of the four quarterly percentage changes. The error becomes more noticeable the longer the period covered and the greater the rate of change in the index. This can readily be verified by starting with an index of 100 and increasing it by 10% (multiplying by 1.1) each period. After four periods, the index will equal 146.4 delivering a through-the-year percentage change of 46.4%, not the 40.0% obtained by adding the four quarterly changes of 10.0 per cent.
12.7 Price indexes produced by the ABS are published on both a quarterly and a financial year basis. The index number for a financial year is the simple arithmetic average (mean) of the index numbers for the 4 quarters of that year. Index numbers for calendar years are not calculated for the HPI but can be derived by calculating the simple arithmetic average of the quarterly index numbers for the year concerned.
12.8 For example, an index number for the year 2008 would be calculated as the arithmetic average of the index numbers for the March, June, September and December quarters of 2008. This characteristic of index numbers is particularly useful. It allows annual price movements to be calculated and compared with those of any other year. It also enables the index number in, say, the current quarter, to be compared with the average prevailing in some prior year.
12.9 As noted above, the HPI series compiled under the previous methodology (prior to the 2004 review) is published on the ABS website for users to access. This series commences in June quarter 1986 and concludes in June quarter 2005.
12.10 Caution should be exercised when attempting to 'link' the original and current series. While the ABS can provide advice on re-basing (see Chapter 11) and splicing, due to the variety of outcomes determined by users' decisions, the ABS does not recommend a method for linking the two series.
12.11 The final decision for deciding the appropriateness or otherwise of the HPI for any particular application lies with the end user. While the ABS can provide technical and statistical guidance, it does not provide advice on indexation practices, nor can it tell users which index would best suit any particular use. See Appendix 2, Price Indexes and Contract Indexation, for further information.
12.12 Users may also wish to refer to the following publications which are available from the ABS website:
12.13 Current publications and other products by the ABS are listed on the ABS web site <www.abs.gov.au>. The ABS also issues a daily Release Advice on the web site which details products to be released in the week ahead.

Glossary of Holocaust-related Terminology (A-E)
Antisemitism - Prejudice towards, or discrimination against, Jews. Antisemitism was not new to Nazi Germany or Europe; feelings of hatred and distrust of Jews had existed there for centuries. ("Antisemitism" can also be written with a hyphen, as "anti-semitism," but the growing consensus is to write it without a hyphen.)
Aryan - "Aryan" was used originally to identify peoples speaking the languages of Europe and India. The Nazis changed it to mean "superior race," described as white, tall, athletic, with blond hair and blue eyes.
Auschwitz - Usually refers to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp, located 37 miles west of Krakow, Poland. Established in 1940, it became a huge camp complex that included a killing center and slave labor camps.
Bar Mitzvah - Jewish religious ceremony held on a boy's thirteenth birthday, marking his passage into manhood.
Bystander - One who is present at an event or who knows about its occurrence and chooses to ignore it. That is, neither participates in, nor responds to it.
Collaborator - In the context of war, one who cooperates with the enemy who is occupying his/her country and/or persecuting his/her people.
Concentration camps - Nazi system for imprisoning those considered "enemies of the state." Many different groups and individuals were imprisoned in concentration camps: religious opponents, resisters, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma and Sinti (Gypsies), Poles, and Jews. Concentration camps were further subdivided into labor camps and death camps. Before the end of World War II, several thousands of these concentration camps were operating throughout Europe, in all countries conquered by the German army.
Crematoria - Furnaces constructed to burn human remains in the killing centers and concentration camps. The Germans had accepted bids for the construction of crematoria; many were built by German companies.
Death Camps - (Also called "extermination camps.") These were concentration camps created for the sole purpose of killing people. Victims were murdered in assembly-line fashion oftentimes in gas chambers, and their bodies burned in open fields or crematoria, or were buried in mass graves. The Nazis operated six death camps: Sobibor, Belzec, Treblinka, Chelmno, Auschwitz, and Majdanek. Many concentration camps, such as Bergen-Belsen, Mathausen, and Dachau were also considered death camps because thousands were killed there as a result of starvation, mistreatment, and disease.
Death March - A forced march of Nazi prisoners from the camps toward the German interior at the end of World War II when the German armed forces were trapped between the Soviets to the east and the advancing Allied troops from the west. Treated with enormous brutality during the forced marches, thousands of prisoners died either by starvation, exhaustion, or were shot to death.
Dehumanization - Intended to change the manner in which a person or group of people are perceived. Dehumanization reduces the target group to objects, therefore these persons are no longer human and worthy of human rights or dignity. This was done by identifying people by numbers in place of their names, or as animals like "pigs," or insects like "cockroaches."
Deportation - The act of being forced to leave one's place of residence. The Nazis coerced, tricked, and forced prisoners to leave their homes or ghettos and board cattle cars destined for concentration camps and/or death camps. Prisoners in the overcrowded, unsanitary, cattle cars were given no food or water during the two to four day ride to the camps, and many died.
Discrimination - An action, following prejudicial thinking, that denies justice and fair treatment in employment, education, housing, or legal and civil rights.
Displaced Persons' Camps (DP Camps) - Camps set up after World War II as temporary living quarters for the thousands of homeless people victimized by the Holocaust. Because in almost all cases their homes had been looted, stolen and/or destroyed, Holocaust survivors no longer had homes to return to. They lived in DP camps and then emigrated to new lives in the United States, Israel, Europe, South America, or Australia.
Einsatzgruppen - German name for SS mobile killing squads which followed the German army into Russia and eastern Poland. They rounded up Jews and other "inferior people" in the conquered territories, forced their victims to dig their own graves, and shot them. At least one million Jews were killed by the Einsatzgruppen.
Euphemism - A euphemism is a nice way of saying something terrible or something you wish to hide. The Nazis used euphemisms to hide their true intentions from victims and bystanders such as:
- "Final Solution," meaning the complete annihilation of all the Jews of Europe;
- "Resettlement in the East," meaning deportation to concentration camps;
- "Processing," meaning the selection, gassing, burning, and disposal of people.
Evian Conference - A conference convened by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt in July 1938 to discuss the problem of Jewish refugees in Europe. Thirty-two countries sent representatives to this meeting, which met in Evian-les-Bains, France. Although the delegates expressed sympathy for the plight of Jewish refugees, they were unwilling to take concrete steps to loosen the immigration laws of their respective countries.

Two workers employed by an AK Steel Corp. contractor are suspected of stealing 1,000 pounds of cobalt-nickel alloy ingots valued at about $5,000 from the steelmaker's Middletown, Ohio, plant.
The two unnamed thieves apparently attempted to sell about 400 pounds of the stolen material to a scrap recycler in Dayton, Ohio, according to a report in the Middletown Journal. Investigations are under way by the company and police departments in both Middletown and Dayton.

Crowds of onlookers lined the yellow crime scene tape around Springfield's Kenefick Park in the minutes after police were forced to shoot a man in the leg after he allegedly pulled a knife on them.
Police say it all stemmed from a domestic dispute. A woman was able to flag down a police officer near her Sanderson Street home, saying her estranged boyfriend was smashing her car windows.
When police arrived he tried to run through the park but then pulled out a knife and an officer shot him.
The entire ordeal happened as hundreds of students were leaving nearby Chestnut Middle School.
"It's scary, but the police presence arrived very fast," said Luz Zuniga who lives directly across from the park.
Zuniga had just walked her 12-year-old son home from school. They just moved here last weekend from New Jersey.
"Very nervous, very scary, I already walk him to school and pick him up," she said.
Police collected evidence in the park for hours after the shooting happened.
The domestic dispute comes just a week after Attorney General Martha Coakley visited Western Mass and said she would begin cracking down on perpetrators of domestic abuse and re-examining domestic violence laws.
"I've already spoken to folks out here on what we need to do. I'm planning on coming back out here and having some round-tables and talking to people about what they're seeing, what are the statistics," she said at an event last week.
The Springfield man will at least face a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
He was taken to Baystate and expected to recover.
Police have not released the identities of the man or the police officer that shot him.

At the OSL we have shared workstations, most of which are named after colors. In the NOC, I usually work at emerald.workstation.osuosl.bak (Figure 1). I use tmux (Figure *) to multiplex so I can have multiple terminals open in a single ssh connection and connect to my session from anywhere. When splitting the terminal vertically, the prompt can get so long that it's hard to see the command that I'm entering (Figure 2). I'd like my prompt to automatically shorten itself in narrow windows. Fortunately, my terminal already knows how much space it has available: $COLUMNS is an environment variable which stores how wide your current terminal is, and the default unixism is 80. So in order to save space, I'd like to shorten my prompt to only a directory listing and a colored character replacing the normal $ or >.
Behold! (Figure 3, 4)
The OSL made a strong showing at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference (OSCON) this year with the majority of the student employees attending along with all of the full time staff. The conference was held in Portland, OR, and fell on July 20-24.
The Lab always places a special emphasis on education, and the conference was certainly an educational experience. The expo hall held dozens of booths filled with information and demonstrations about open source projects and the companies that support them.
The expo hall was student developer Evan Tschuy's favorite part of the conference. "I liked wandering around the expo hall because there were so many booths. It was like 'I've heard of that company! Them too! I've never heard of them, what are they about?'"
In between shifts at the OSL booth, staff that attended the conference were given the opportunity to go to a variety of informational sessions including A Glimpse of Git's future, Data Structures and Netflix API: Top 10 Lessons Learned.
OSU administration recently approached the OSL asking us to help migrate their email archives to Google. Through contacts with other local universities that had made the switch recently, we discovered that Portland State University had written and published an open source Python app to manage the process. In the name of expedience, we decided to fork that project and use that as our base from which to extend.
Having had time to reflect, I'd like to share a few lessons from the experience:
1. Enterprise means customized. All software comes bundled with biases and assumptions; small teams may be better off adapting their organization to fit those assumptions, but there exists a threshold beyond which it is easier to adjust software to fit the organization's assumptions instead. Despite forking a completed application, we found ourselves making several customizations and undoing several assumptions made by upstream developers.
Recently, I learned a useful Vim trick. One of our hosted clients has a Dokuwiki instance that we help manage, and they were having problems with a lot of spam user accounts being created. We added a CAPCHA to the wiki to make it less convenient for new spammers to join, but there were a lot of bad accounts already existing. By "a lot," I mean there were 112,808 accounts listed in users.auth.php, and only about a dozen real project personnel using the wiki on a regular basis.
To clean it out, we decided the best course of action would be deleting every account except those with admin privileges, because most of the real humans were in the admin group and those who weren't could get the project leader to re-add their accounts. The benefit of clearing out a hundred thousand spammers would, in this case, outweigh the inconvenience of manually recreating a couple of real accounts.
When I bumped into my biochemistry professor, Dr. Kevin Ahern, on campus a few months ago, I had the pleasure of explaining how I actually get to use what I learned in his class. And at the Open Source Lab of all places. At the lab, I've had the opportunity to work on an open source project called the Protein Geometry Database (PGD), and my coursework as a food science major with fermentation science option -- specifically, that course in biochemistry -- has proven unexpectedly helpful when working on the PGD.
Openstack has been growing in popularity over the past few years and recently we've started to look into it further here at the OSL. We plan to continue to use Ganeti for our high-available IaaS needs, however we're researching ways to integrate Openstack at the lab as well. While Ganeti provides a solid, stable and simple platform for general IaaS needs, Openstack provides better support for elastic and dynamic needs. We feel that using both platforms gives the best of both worlds, because they each fill a specific niche in a cloud environment.
Earlier this year we teamed up with IBM to work on deploying Openstack on the OpenPOWER architecture with the goal of expanding our Supercell infrastructure beyond the x86 architecture. Thanks to the hard work by both the IBM and OSUOSL team, we've been able to deploy Openstack on four IBM OpenPOWER machines which support KVM and little endian.

Love this SUV by Suz from Philly on 07/08/2011. Trim: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 2LT AWD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I love this SUV. I looked long and hard at all the rest, got opinions from those who already owned older models and made up my mind. Then I had to search and find the one I wanted. Comfortable, love the XM, OnStar and pockets for all my stuff. Love the color of mine (red) and design. I think it just looks great. I've had it 1 year and only had an oil change and inspection (low milege).
Cons: 6 cylinder lower milage, slow acceleration but once it gets the message there is no problem getting past someone you want to zoom past.
Overall review: I'd buy it all over again.

So yummy! You can easily double the chard b/c it shrinks down so much, but the pesto is just amazing. I used sun dried tomatoes packed in oil (could not find dried), and just used a some of the packing oil in place of the olive oil and soaking water. Worked beautifully. We also made the full amount of pesto, but only half of the pasta and reserved the extra pesto for sandwiches, etc. Was awesome on a grilled cheese!
Whole-Wheat Pasta Shells with Spicy Tomato Pesto and Winter Greens
Beatriz Dacosta
Whole-wheat pastas have a firmer, chewier texture than white-flour pastas, and a robust flavor that stands up well to strong-flavored olive oil-based sauces or pestos.

Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists
The activity known as a 'Social Dreaming Matrix' has been provided for the last three Congresses of the IAAP (Zurich, Florence, Cambridge), at the suggestion of Helen Morgan and Peter Tatham. For Barcelona, we had been asked, in advance, to provide the same activity, and had happily accepted the invitation, while including two other presenters as well: Amelie Noack (AJA) and Michael Whan (IGAP).
In retrospect, one outcome of this was that we had now become an 'official' part of the programme which may have altered our own attitude, as well as for any participants who might have known of our new-won status. Such knowledge may therefore have affected the matrix itself, consciously as well as unconsciously.
Just as on previous occasions, we started on the first day with about one hundred people and many dreams were shared, often without any clear connection to what had gone before. It felt difficult to make sense of it all, since it seemed that people were more inclined to talk about their dreams rather than to follow or explore any chains of associations to what they heard, or to which one of the convenors might draw attention. Such associations are the 'lifeblood' of social dreaming, while attending to such connections forms one of the convenors' tasks (as well as recording all dreams and keeping the time framework).
Periodically, each of our first two days felt like a rather unsatisfactory struggle to find appropriate 'meanings' in what was being shared. We could only reflect back that perhaps the title of the Congress with its emphasis upon 'boundaries', the 'edges of experience' and an 'emergence of novelty' from what lay 'beyond' and therefore 'unknown' inescapably involved anxiety and a tendency for retreat towards what was known, familiar, and, therefore 'safe and unthreatening'. Perhaps this reflected a similar antimony between being an 'official' part of the programme (even if it were mostly only we who knew that) rather than when social dreaming had been experienced as a more 'subversive' element 'in the basement', able to comment upon the above ground intellectual current of the lectures, seminars and workshops in the main programme.
If this were so, then the fact that numbers attending the matrix markedly diminished after the second morning might have been an unconsciously acted out comment upon this state of dissatisfaction. People 'wanted' to be at the edge of experience that social dreaming should provide, at all times – even when it was wavering over such a state of imbalance that can lead to withdrawal.
On the one hand, the matrix was 'hungry' for any emergence that must always be novel, unexpected and even anxiety-making. But, at the same time we were also expressing a natural tendency to back away from such 'borderlines' for the sake of finding familiarity, once again, in what was 'known' and therefore officially sanctioned (collectively, or for each individual). Some responsibility for any such retreat into safety must lie with the convenors and their failure to comment upon it. We might have been resting, a bit, upon old laurels from the experience of previous Congresses.
On the third day, as already mentioned, the number of people who attended was markedly less, which seemed, paradoxically, to make things easier and more creative as well. It was interesting that the empty seats now tended to be on the outside of the group of chairs, as if the centre felt a safer and more supported place to be – rather than some state of 'edginess' situated at the periphery. Three years earlier, at Cambridge, it was the centre that was felt to be unsafe, with what was termed 'the plughole' threatening to draw people down, into itself. But, might we be avoiding the edges of experience, by huddling together?
There were also a number of references to the rejection of a new analytic group applying for membership in the IAAP: one that had included the word 'spirituality' in its name. As far as this rejection was a concern for the matrix, what were we ourselves excluding – among our members and their deliberations? What was being kept out of the room? On the other hand, paradoxically, had the spirit of social dreaming been banished from the matrix and denied membership? Had we been freewheeling, till now, while avoiding the dangerous edges of our experience, as expressed in the dreams? Or, on the other hand, was a fear of, as well as an uncertainty with, the emergence of novelty and inclusion of 'spirit' (to which all of us analysts must be consciously committed) expressing itself? We were indeed at the edge and it could feel like a threatening invasion, to be defended against, rather than any satisfying inclusiveness or emergent novelty (however risky). It was possible to express some of this within the matrix, by means of the dreams now shared.
Then it was the fourth and final day and the colour yellow was felt to be important. It was remarked as the colour of the Sun God, therefore describing intellectual consciousness. Someone else remarked on the alchemical 'yellowing of the work' that would lead to gold that was now the 'aurum non vulgum' of alchemy: an un-common, psychic, gold. Another person spoke of the artist Miro and his brightly coloured mobiles casting shadows as they twisted and turned. "People are not showing their true colours", she said; and in the notes of one convenor, this appeared (appropriately enough, perhaps) as: 'not sowing their true colours'. Perhaps we were all afraid of 'coming out', or of 'coming clean'; but, then again, any move seemed to be from a single hue towards a 'coat of many colours'.
Within the matrix, we had struggled to hold the tensions implied in several pairs of opposites: official and subversive; centre and periphery (the edge); emergence of novelty versus a retreat into certainty; as well as intellectual fare to be countered by the shared emotional images of the dreams. Of such is the nature and function of any Congress (and rightly so). And yet in all ways social dreaming had also performed its allotted task well. Permitting as well as exploring, by means of the associations to the dreams, a movement from beneath and within, which is the vitally important work that this method of working with dreams provides so well and so creatively. It was felt to be a satisfactory and worthwhile ending to an uncertain, though familiar, struggle of finding meaning within the matrix.
