It is a rough time to be 16, and not only because no one realises that you are grown up. All the political parties – despite Michael Gove's ill-judged rescinding of the education maintenance allowance – acknowledge that, in the jobless present, staying in education until 18 is necessary as well as desirable. For many, there was never a question about it: university beckons, even at £27,000 a shot. A lucky minority will have apprenticeships or training lined up that involve enough academic education to qualify under the coalition proposals. But there will be thousands of others who have already had it with education and will resist by every means possible. Not surprisingly, teachers feel pretty ambivalent too. When Spain raised the school leaving age, the experience turned into a collective nightmare. Part of the answer, as Professor Alison Wolf's review suggested, is to strengthen 14-16 teaching so that post-16s at least start with a legacy of enthusiasm. University technical colleges offer another interesting alternative. But the truth is that some 16-year-olds just need to get out and discover the real world – and find out the hard way how much education matters. The 16-plus classroom is for those who want to be there. The minority who don't should be allowed to leave. And where this year's late starters face an impenetrable jungle of hazards, in future there should be a permanently and beguilingly open door for all those who eventually find out that they want as well as need a second chance.

I deploy the image with ImageX. After deployment and the computer boots up for the first time, I get an error saying "Bootmgr is missing". I have solved this error by inserting a windows 7 dvd and using the startup repair utility. Windows 7 then starts normailly. This works great but I dont want to do this everytime I deploy the image and I dont really want to create a fresh image. Does anyone have any idea why its doing it and any ideas how I can fix my .wim? I hope I have explained this well.

Newfield Exploration Co.
Three Energy Firms to Watch This Earnings Season
By Sarfaraz Khan - July 12, 2013 | Tickers: APC, NFX, OAS
Oil and gas Exploration and Production (E&P) companies Newfield Exploration (NYSE: NFX) and Hess Corporation are among those American energy firms which, amid pressure from shareholders, have been divesting from less lucrative international oil and gas ventures and investing in more profitable areas closer to their home market. I have already discussed about Hess Corporation's strategic change and its implications in my previous article.

Is This Company's Competitive Advantage Factored Into the Share Price?
By Mark Lin - June 20, 2013 | Tickers: DNR, NFX, WLL
It is every entrepreneur's dream to convert things that people do not want anymore into hot selling products. I am not talking about a company in the recycling industry, but an oil and natural gas producer. Denbury Resources (NYSE: DNR) is the largest oil and natural gas producer in both Mississippi and Montana. It is focused on carbon dioxide-enhanced tertiary oil recovery, which produces oil from conventional fields that more »
$2 Billion Hedge Fund's Small-Cap Picks
By Meena Krishnamsetty - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: IGT, NFX, PENN, SM, WLT
The most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds (which we define as those stocks with market capitalizations between $1 billion and $5 billion) generate an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year (see the details here). We think that this is because small cap stocks receive less attention from large institutional investors such as mutual funds, and so are more likely to be either undervalued or overvalued more »

Small cap stocks tend to be less widely followed by institutional investors, which in theory results in their being more likely to be mispriced. When a hedge fund does research on such a company, then, it should be more likely to identify an overvalued (or undervalued) stock.

Newfield Exploration: How Much Can it Get for its International Assets?
By Nathan Kirykos - March 24, 2013 | Tickers: EPL, NFX, PXP, SD
According to recent news, Newfield Exploration (NYSE: NFX) is weighing a sale of its international offshore assets in Malaysia and China. The company is now seeking certainty and growth from its onshore projects in North America, in such formations as the Uinta, Cana Woodford, Williston, and Eagle Ford.

Drilling Down to Show Wall Street Disconnect
By Joel Eggerding - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: APA, COG, NFX
Natural Gas is the path to bankruptcy and drilling for oil is the way to riches! That's Wall Street's current thought. Plus, don't even get them started about international offshore drillers. This must mean that all natural gas and offshore drillers are down and all stocks with exposure to domestic on-shore oil drilling must be going up.

Profit From Intercontinental LNG Exports
By Piyush Arora - October 16, 2012 | Tickers: APC, APA, COP, NFX
Most investors shun away from companies having exposure to natural gas. Natural gas production saw a boom, thanks to technological advancements. However, this boom remained largely in Northern America and unfortunately European and Asian countries couldn't enjoy the production bonanza, which has created a price difference in the three regions. In the US, natural gas is priced at $3.20 per 1000 cubic ft., whereas in the European and more »

Playing the E&P Bottom
By cris vicari - June 8, 2012 | Tickers: NFX, OXY
Newfield Exploration (NYSE: NFX) is an exploration and production company based in Texas, with a portfolio of holdings that focus on gas. Over the past year, management has naturally altered this portfolio to meet the global increase in liquids commodity prices.

Most Shorted Stocks #8 – ATP Oil & Gas
By Chad Henage - March 5, 2012 | Tickers: ATPAQ.PK, FST, NFX
I have to say based on ATP, Forest Oil, and Newfield, it seems the best way to play the industry is to stick with the larger players. Without an increase in production and cash flow, I think ATP may be a better play as a buyout candidate than a long term investment. If they disappear, you might find Newfield or Forest Oil taking their place as one of the most shorted stocks in the market. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.

A Hero Lies within on Nim's Island
- Friday, April 04, 2008
DVD Release Date: August 5, 2008
Theatrical Release Date: April 4, 2008
Rating: PG (for mild adventure action and brief language)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Run Time: 96 min.
Director: Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin
Actors: Abigail Breslin, Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler, Michael Carman, Mark Brady, and Anthony Simcoe.
Likely targeting kids five through twelve, the latest Walden Media film is a family-friendly, take-me-away adventure with a good message about finding heroism from within.
Based on the book by Wendy Orr and Kerry Millard, Nim's Island provides a unique high seas adventure that will strike a chord with any kid who has dreamed about having her own jungle paradise and having to defend it from dangerous intruders.
Nim Rusoe (Abigail Breslin) lives with her father Jack (Gerard Butler), a biologist, on a gorgeous island in the South Pacific. Her mom died years ago, when swallowed by a whale while doing marine biology work. Nim is homeschooled, of course, and knows an encyclopedia's worth of info on birds, whales, walruses, and many other creatures. Several of them are her pets and best friends.
Each night Nim cooks delicious food for her father, and she and he have wonderful conversations together. (There's no TV … can you imagine?) Then Nim flits off to bed to read another book. Her favorite book series is Alex Rover, where hero Alex saves the day, even when he's in the tightest of spots (like being dangled over a fiery volcano).
Her dad's quest is to find an unusual strain of protozoa plankton, which he promises to name "Protozoa Nim." One night he sets out in the boat to find it, but Nim begs to be left alone on the island to read. Her father finally agrees, especially since it'll only be for two nights.
Things do not go as planned, however, and a violent storm takes Dad off course, maybe even killing him. When Nim doesn't hear from her father, she decides to take matters into her own hands and persuade her hero, Alex Rover, to save the day.
Little does Nim know, however, that Alex Rover is actually Alexandra (Jodie Foster), the author of the books and a fearful recluse living in California. Alexandra also has an imaginary sidekick, the "Alex" from her novels (also played by Butler). Alex is constantly encouraging Alexandra to be bold and brave, to take an adventure. But Alexandra is petrified and tries to convince Alex to be reasonable about the dangers. Finally, however, she becomes convinced of Nim's predicament and decides to take an unprecedented adventure—by plane, smaller plane, boat, smaller boat, and helicopter to a certain place known only by degrees latitude and longitude.
Meanwhile, while hiding in a tree and overhearing some men from a cruise ship talking, Nim has gotten wind that some bad guys are coming to take over her island. Not knowing if her father is dead or alive, or if Alex is really coming, she sets about creating ingenious traps and diversions. What ensues is a terrific adventure involving crazy travel mishaps, scary storms, volcano disasters, an invasion, and some serious rescue from a jungle full of inventive animals.
Nim's Island is filmed beautifully, tempting audiences to run away from all the stress of suburbia and build their own Swiss Family Robinson type of jungle house. The director makes great use of a number of locations on land and sea in Australia.
The acting is commendable, especially from Abigail Breslin (No Reservations, Little Miss Sunshine), who is said to come from a family of faith. Her brother, Spencer Breslin (The Santa Clause 3, The Shaggy Dog) is also a shooting star, and between them, the siblings have shot several dozen movies. In Nim's Island, she plays both the loving, playful daughter and the fierce, determined adventurer well.

Colette Malouf Pops Up at Bendel's
The art of the headband has garnered increasing attention since the classic, girly staple started to turn up on the red carpet—with frequency—earlier this year. After two pretty monumental headband moments at the Golden Globe Awards, the accessory has made some equally big fashion statements. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld wore a gold beaded incarnation, set back like a halo on her raven locks, to the amfAR gala in New York in February; Dakota Fanning recently sparked a bit of a blog frenzy with her bronze, Grecian-style chains, which were pushed down onto her forehead at Vanity Fair's Tribeca Film Festival opening party; and just last week, Chloë Moretz stole the show at CinemaCon in Las Vegas with a thick black bow. But how do you wear a hair accessory properly? Colette Malouf has some ideas—and she's doling them out for free at a pop-up shop that just opened at Henri Bendel's in New York this week. "I like unexpected ornamentation," says the bauble behemoth, which might explain her Spring collection; Night Fever, as the new line of clips, bands, and barrettes is called, features mesh metal and leather details plus brightly colored stones like lapis and coral. Inspired by the 1970′s and the last days of disco, plus bygone brands like Mary Quant and Fiorucci, the entire range is currently on display along with Malouf herself, who will be taking questions and doing demos on Thursday and Friday. Finally, a chance to learn how to wear a pair of hair combs à la Miu Miu's Fall 2011 show. See you there.

Republicans in the U.S. Congress are under a "reign of terror" imposed by the party's conservative wing that also has pushed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to the right, President Barack Obama's senior campaign strategist said on Sunday.
David Axelrod, in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" program, cited the Obama administration's plans for immigration reform as an example of Republican intransigence in Congress.
The political process in Washington should not be "monolithic opposition to everything the chief executive wants to do as a political strategy," Axelrod said, adding that an "implacable group of Republicans" had blocked any possibility of immigration reform.
"I think there are a lot of Republicans in Congress who want to cooperate … but they're in the thralls of this reign of terror from the far right that has dragged the party to the right," he said.
"Governor Romney and the party have gone way off to the right," he added.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Axelrod said that if Obama is re-elected, some Republicans would be more willing to work with him.
Axelrod said Romney, the former Massachusetts governor in line to be the Republican challenger to Obama's re-election in the November 6 election, has nothing new to offer voters.
"People don't know Mitt Romney very well," he said on CNN. "They see a businessman. They hope he has new ideas. When they find out what his ideas are, slashing taxes at the top for the very wealthy … they're going to think, 'This is very familiar. We've tried this. This was a big failure.'"
Axelrod said Romney's campaign for the Republican nomination had been a negative one, based on attacking his opponents rather than spelling out ideas.
"When he does, I think people are going to judge them for what they are, which is backward-looking and a repeat of what got us into this mess in the first place," he added.

6 Responses to "Axelrod predicts Republican 'reign of terror'"
This commentary is absolutely right on and explains the fears that many Republicans have about the November election. Unless the voters are white straight Christian men, there is little to offer anyone else. Do we really want more wars in our future? Do we want our women at the mercy of the Vatican when it comes to our freedoms? Do women have to go through the loss of dignity when they visit their doctors? If this abortion issue is turned over to the Homeland Security team, will all of us have to be xrayed before and after we travel abroad to see if we snuck in a quick abortion?
The war on abortions will make the war on drugs look like a video game.
Is this what we really want? This is what President Bush 43 wanted and certainly what Gov. Romney wants.
I don't suppose that anyone in the media has looked up the actual use of the term "Reign of Terror" during the French Revolution. The radicals that took over the French governmrnt executed anyone who expressed dissatisfaction after their promises of "income equality" had not empowered the bourgeoise. Members of the Roman Catholic clergy were also particularly hard hit by this purge.
If the Republicans in this allusion stand for royalty, and most particularly, Marie Antoinette's 'Let them eat cake" attitude. they are the victims of the Reign of Terror, not the instigators of it. Question: Did anyone in the White House pass the second senr=ester of the World History survey class?
Evelyn, the term may not be used accurately but the message is sent that since the GOP has been taken over by the religious right they do tend to resemble the church at its worst. I made many references to the inquisition when I learned of the changes wanted by the Evangelical leaders within the Republican National Committee. To classify abortions as terrorist actions flagged my interest. I have been a Republican my entire life and to see the changes wanted by Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell to set the new agenda for all members of the GOP shocked me to the core.
The history of the GOP never ever leaned into a government control over our social lives. In 1999 when Bush 43 promised federal grants to the churches, it immediately destroyed the separation of church and state and all hell broke loose in the GOP. There had been a plan to develop a One World Order Empire as far back as the end of WW2 and it meant a continuing state of war to pull it off. It was Karl Rove who added the religious base to this Empire-building plan and the GOP fell into place without question. Poor Romney had no such plans but fell into place quickly. He is still in the Missionary mode and will always work to bring more members into his church. The new agenda of the GOP fits into his plans like a leather glove. I know this man as we are cousins but I am no longer a member of his church.
Oh my, what a mess has been made by Bush losing the tax exemption status for the churches. They are still trying to take full benefits of their 501's but the IRS is waiting to nail them, before the Supreme Court takes action. I sometimes feel that Franklin and Jefferson must be spinning in their graves at the mess we find at this time.
Another movie favorite: "Awakenings — Part II"! Members of Congress are injected with massive doses of L-Dopa by the Surgeon General…Congressmen and Senators awaken from their catatonic states. They begin to move and to work on the country's problems….Starring Wilford Brimley as the Surgeon General who follows up the injections with hot bowls of Quaker oatmeal.
Axelrod is afraid of Obama being further to the right than Romney. Sure, Romney sounds like a classic conservative, but his actions while in government have all been pure leftist neo-con/progressive. Romney's favorite answers to problems are to raise taxes and restrict freedom. Sounds like a continuation of Bush/Obama to me!
Woody. You may be right. None of us know how either man will react to a Syrian, North Korean, Palestinian, Iranian action. Bush/Cheney broke all the laws and regulations of how America goes to war. It is time this was cleared up but it has to be done by the Congress. Our Congress has literally destroyed the government. Which way do we go if anything or nothing happens?
I tend to trust the Obama White House over anyone running across the aisle. The GOP has no focus with regard to the future of America. I remember demanding a firm agenda prior to the 2000 election when Bush claimed to be a born-again Christian. To me it was the shot heard around the world for a new American religion to be added to the U.S. Constitution.
Hell yes, it would solve a lot of problems if we all worshipped the same God. That may have been the case in 1776 but it is not how we live in 2012. The basic Christian church groups are not working for Jesus Christ but a nation to be for Christians only. Right below the surface sits white supremacy groups jockeying for position with men who will never consider women as equals.
Somewhere in the interpretation of Jesus's words, the concept of individuality is missing. People of color must stay with others of the same color. People of Latino roots must be contained outside the limits of North America.
When my kids were very young, we read Michener's "Hawaii"….well, I wanted to read it that summer so I read it to my 7 year old and her 14 month old baby sister who sat there listening to every word. We had all the maps and pictures of the Islands and from where all the Hawaiians landed.
The final part of the book is called "The Golden People" and told the story of the white people along with the other races and national navigators brought to the islands and we became truly the "golden" people. It seems to have stuck with both girls and my message of individual races is what made Hawaii a Paradise.
Is this not what America is supposed to be at this time? Are we not still the greatest conglomeration of humans ever recorded?

Hewlett-Packard Needs Help
By Eric Volkman - February 23, 2012 | Tickers: DELL, HPQ |
What big IT component maker is going to be the next to stumble? At the moment the company in the shame chair is Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), hot on the heels of Dell's (NASDAQ: DELL) announcement of a slew of unhappy quarterly numbers. Of the two companies, HP wins the Most Disappointing award; its 2Q revenue slumped 7% year-on-year, while net profit tripped by an embarrassing 44%.

Dell Peaks and Drops
By Eric Volkman - February 22, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, DELL, GOOG, HPQ, IBM
There isn't much of a future in computer hardware. Just ask Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), which posted full-year results that seemed impressive… but only before you looked under the hood. Despite a nice hop in net income, which landed higher at 33% year on year (to total $3.5 billion, meaning a record EPS of $1.88), revenue was stagnant. Also, the tough conditions of the markets Dell operates in more »
Hollywood Scales the Great Wall
By Eric Volkman - February 20, 2012 | Tickers: DWA, IMAX, TWX, DIS |
The Chinese are going to have access to more movies … well, legitimate ones, at any rate. This is because last week their government and America's agreed on a deal in which more Hollywood films will be allowed to screen in the big Asian country's theaters. Previously, China had a strict quota of 20 American films per year.
The deal allows for only 14 more movies, which isn't more »
Here Comes Yelp
By Eric Volkman - February 18, 2012 | Tickers: GRPN, LNKD, P, YELP, ZNGA |
Another day, another Internet IPO. Have we time-traveled back to 1999? It's starting to look that way, as more and more known companies with a .com after their name and puddles of red ink arrive on the market. Next in line is Yelp (NYSE: YELP), the popular online business review site, which will become a traded stock early next month.
The company has never made money and doesn't more »
Tech Steals a Trick from TV
By Eric Volkman - February 17, 2012 | Tickers: AOL, GOOG, MSFT, NWSA, YHOO |
As if any more evidence were needed that the web and traditional forms of entertainment were coming together, some of the biggest players in the online world are planning their own take on TV's "upfronts." Their version of the annual entertainment industry bonanza will be held this spring, in an attempt to bring in more ad dollars and close the revenue gap between internet media and the more traditional more »
Discovery Discovers Flat Growth
By Eric Volkman - February 17, 2012 | Tickers: CMCSA, DISCA, SNI, TWX
It happens to every decent company sooner or later; a period of healthy growth slows to a time of flat results. Such is the case with cable TV concern Discovery Communications (NASDAQ: DISCA). It's just announced 4Q and full-year 2011 results and they're splendid, with lots of double-digit pluses (or near enough) in the year-on-year growth column. Net profit was way up (almost 70% to $1.1 billion more »
Barry Diller, Broadcast TV Killer?
By Eric Volkman - February 15, 2012 | Tickers: CMCSA, IACI, NFLX, NWSA |
It's funny to think that Barry Diller, one of the chief architects of the current network TV structure, might turn out to be a key figure tearing it down. Diller's InterActiveCorp. (NASDAQ: IACI) was the lead company in a $20.5 million round of financing for a startup called Aereo, a company that will soon offer a way for its subscribers to get broadcast TV on the cheap more »
Yahoo! Feels the Heat
By Eric Volkman - February 15, 2012 | Tickers: GOOG, KKR, MSFT, BX, YHOO |
Is Nero reaching for a violin while his city goes up in flame? For the umpteenth time, Yahoo!'s (NASDAQ: YHOO) attempts to sell a pair of hugely valuable assets -- big stakes in hit Chinese online B2B marketplace Alibaba and YHOO's brother firm in the Land of the Rising Sun, Yahoo! Japan -- have hit a wall. Meanwhile, activist investor Daniel Loeb's Third Point hedge fund has started marshaling more »
Verizon and AT&T Want a Present From Apple
By Eric Volkman - February 14, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, T, VZ
A hot rumor in the tech world, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, is that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) upcoming iteration of the iPad will be sold by Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T) and connect via their much-hyped 4G networks. What's more, rumor has it that the two carriers might be permitted to subsidize the new device as they now do with their range of more »
Clearing a Path for Google
By Eric Volkman - February 13, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, HPQ, MSFT, MMI |
The Justice Department's anti-trust authority and its counterpart in the European Union have just made Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) life easier. The two bodies helped the company immensely by approving its ambitious buy of telecoms equipment maker Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI). Now nothing stands in the way of GOOG completing the purchase of its shiny new toy.
Google considers this a crucial acquisition since it has shifted its strategy more »
Alcatel Us Something Positive
By Eric Volkman - February 11, 2012 | Tickers: ALU, BRCM, CSCO, NOK
It took a while, but telecoms equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) is finally in the black. More than half a decade after it was born from the merger of a French (Alcatel) and an American (Lucent) company, the unified entity posted its first annual net profit, and on paper it looks pretty good. Net came in at around $1.4 billion, which is an encouraging improvement over 2010's loss more »
Lions Gate Stays Hungry
By Eric Volkman - February 11, 2012 | Tickers: LGF, TWX, NWSA, VIAB, DIS
On the surface of it, the earnings report was very unimpressive. Third-quarter revenue dropped a queasy 24% while net loss was a penny per share. That wouldn't be so disappointing, except that analysts were expecting profit to hit 9 cents and revenue to increase more than 10% instead of evaporating by nearly one-fourth. On the back of such an earnings flop, any stock would trade down in a disappointed more »
Barclays Humbled by Results
By Eric Volkman - February 10, 2012 | Tickers: BCS, DB, RBS, UBS
We should be glad that most of us are not European bankers. It's a bad line of work to be in the moment. Just ask Robert Diamond, CEO of British financial conglomerate Barclays (NYSE: BCS). He must have been feeling some humility when the bank announced its 2011 results, which included a double-digit fall in net profit and a return on equity figure that was less than half of more »
Welcome to Results Season, Groupon
By Eric Volkman - February 9, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, GOOG, GRPN, TZOO |
In some ways, recent months have felt like the late 1990s. The latest crop of high-profile tech IPOs is reminiscent of an earlier era when anything with a ".com" after its name was thrown onto the stock market in the hopes of a quick cash-out. These days aren't quite like those nutty times; there are fewer IPOs and, by and large, the companies issuing stock actually produce revenue and more »
The Box Office Bounces Back
By Eric Volkman - February 8, 2012 | Tickers: LGF, SNE, TWX, VIAB, DIS |
Along with the cautiously advancing economy, the movie business seems to be doing better of late. Figures have come in for the first month of 2012 (well, Jan. 1 to Feb. 5, to be exact), and they're encouraging -- domestic movie ticket sales amounted to $964.4 million for the period, an 11% improvement over the same period last year.
Although the economy could get the credit for putting more more »
Disney - Mixed Results Mean Time to Buy
By Eric Volkman - February 8, 2012 | Tickers: CCW, DIS
Welcome to earnings season, where it's another day, another big name reporting results. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) topped estimates in terms of profit, with its first-quarter result of 80 cents per share trumping the consensus view of 71 cents. That net translates into a total of $1.5 billion for the quarter. That was the good news. The bad was that the company's revenue for the more »
Coke is Still It
By Eric Volkman - February 7, 2012 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP |
In our still shaky economy, there are very few near-certain bets. One of that tiny number is Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), a company that despite a longtime market-dominating, number one position in its industry still manages to grow and produce cash to grow its operations and reward its shareholders.
The company just announced that its fourth quarter revenue grew 5% to a little over $11 billion. Meanwhile net profit excluding restructuring more »
UBS is a Mess
By Eric Volkman - February 7, 2012 | Tickers: SAN, DB, NBG, UBS
Swiss financial giant UBS (NYSE: UBS) has posted awful results "thanks" to a terrible double whammy that sideswiped its financials. Operating in the midst of Europe's continent-wide financial crisis dragged heavily on its revenue and profitability, but a "rogue" trader scandal also hit the bank hard.
Last year Kweku Adoboli, a trader on UBS' equity derivatives desk, made one or a series - the details are still fuzzy - of disastrous more »
Bad Times for Media Players
By Eric Volkman - February 6, 2012 | Tickers: GCI, MNI, NYT, NWSA
It was undoubtedly a painful news item to report on; last week The New York Times ran an article detailing the lackluster results of its parent organization, The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT). Operating profit for full-year 2011 cratered by almost 76% to $56.7 million, while net sank into the red by nearly $40 million in bleak contrast to 2010's profit of $107.7 million.
The shocking more »
Underperforming in German
By Eric Volkman - February 3, 2012 | Tickers: DB
Shares of big companies usually get whacked when they significantly miss estimates. That didn't happen in the case of German financial giant Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB) after it reported much weaker than anticipated net profit for its most recent quarter and fiscal year. After the bank announced that its bottom line for the quarter totaled EUR 186 million (around $244 million), nowhere near even half of the EUR 492 more »

Nikon D200 review

Nikon D200 resolution comparison
To measure resolving power we photographed our new Enhanced Digital Camera Resolution Chart with each camera using its best quality JPEG and default image tone and sharpening settings. The lenses were set to f8 using Aperture Priority mode. The new chart allows measurements to be made up to 4000 lpph, which is double that of the previous chart.
The crops are taken from the originals, saved as High Quality JPEGs in Photoshop CS2 and presented here at 100%. Each number represents 100 lines per picture height (lpph), so a figure of 20 means a resolution of 2000 lpph.
With 2200 lpph of horizontal and vertical resolution, the Nikon D200 comfortably beats existing 8 Megapixel D-SLRs. The D2X scores higher with 2450 and 2300 lpph of horizontal and vertical resolution, matching the Canon 5D vertically, but fractionally beating it horizontally.
Note for both this and the above real-life examples, the Nikon D2X was using the same default A setting for Sharpening; clearly this setting has resulted in quite different degrees of sharpening for the D2X between the two tests though.

Vikings Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen didn't exactly have the start that many expected. Obtained from Kansas City in an expensive trade-and-sign, Allen had no sacks in a season-opening loss at Green Bay and had only two after five games. Of course, he rebounded to finish with a team-high 14.5 sacks despite playing with shoulder and knee injuries.
So why the slow start? Allen explained during his appearance on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" this week.
"[For] me personally, it took a little while getting used to adjusting to a new stadium, new bunch of teammates," Allen said. "The biggest adjustment was learning how to play with two beasts [Kevin and Pat Williams] in the defensive tackles inside. I was just trying to stay out of the way for the first few weeks. Then we got on the same page and things took off."
It's not certain if Allen is going to have any postseason surgery to clean up his knee or shoulder but he is expected to play in the Pro Bowl next month.

Reed is a 1.5 year old intact male Wirehaired Vizsla who loves everyone and everything. He was in training to be my service dog until he developed epilepsy and will be competing in obedience and agility. Reed is probably who I would bring to any events - but my other two are: Sadie is a 3 year old American Eskimo who is very shy and scared of kids and bigger dogs, so she usually stays home. Madison is a 6 month old Schnauzer/Cocker Spaniel mix, good with everyone.

I used to like listening to the oldies on Dell's favourite station. I Heard it Through the Grapevine. Kathy's Clown. I'd listen while I was doing dishes, making supper. Sometimes while he was in the other room with the TV. They reminded me of the old days, of the Mecca where we used to go on Friday nights, before we were married, before the kids. Before there was just Dell and me and not much else between us except what had slipped by without noticing.
Tuesday nights I went to Yoga with Michelle from across the street. Saturday afternoons Dell went to the harness racing in Cloverdale. On Fridays we ate out at the White Spot and always ordered the same thing. And in between was just work and the house and the long days of rain, waiting for the kids to call, for something to change.
Then I found out about Glenn Gould.
Sometimes I think I can still hear his uneven hum below the sound of the fridge or the washing machine, or the cars passing on the street outside. I stand in the kitchen and try to let everything else go. I listen for Gelnn Gould's voice, and sometimes I hear it, and it reminds me of the music.
I never knew anything about Bach or Beethoven before, about concertos and fugues, oboes or cellos. Then one day I was fiddling with the dial, trying to make the news come in clearer. A woman was talking about someone who was almost as famous for his humming as his piano playing, and she said you could hear it on his recordings. So I stood with my hands in warm water while Glenn Gould played something called the Goldberg Variations. I could hear him humming, as if it was the sound of his own self and there was no way of separating one from the other.
They told me at Sam the Record Man at the mall that I'd have to go downtown to a classical music store to find Glenn Gould's CDs. So I lost interest for a while. Figured I didn't want to involve myself with the kind of music you'd only understand if you'd been to university, or at least a better school that I went to. Then a few weeks later I picked up People at the checkout, and as I was leafing through it, waiting for my groceries to get rung through, I found a picture of Glenn Gould and an article on a movie about him.
He didn't look like I'd expected, although I wouldn't of known what a pianist looked like. All bundled up as if was expecting cold weather, he was wearing a long, tweedy coat, a bunch of scarves twisted around his head so you could hardly see his face. Like someone in hiding.
I started tuning the radio to CBC sometimes, hoping to hear Glenn Gould playing again.
I couldn't tell Dell that I was suddenly interested in classical music. He likes his routines. Leaves the radio tuned to CKVU, gets all his music that way, and news. Often he talks back to the talk shows, getting so worked up I stay out of his way until the program's over.
On my trips to the library after I'd been to Superstore each week, instead of just heading for the paperbacks I looked through the music section, running along the rows of books, saying the names of the musicians over and over again to myself. Haydn. Vivaldi. Beethoven. Looking for something about Glenn Gould but not finding it.
And I listened to CBC most nights in the half-hour I had before Dell came home from work, while I was setting up supper. Hoping to hear the announcer say his name again on the radio.
That's when Dell started to notice I was a bit distracted, I guess. He's not a bad man, but when he's mean I know to watch out. He's been better since the kids grew up and left home. Work's been steady, and my job helps, and when he gets home the house is not all upside down. He still likes his supper on time, gets antsy if I read too much. Wants me to sit with him even if I don't want to watch what he's got on. Just needing me near.
Soon I was telling him to go into the living room after supper; I'd bring him in coffee when it was ready. And while it brewed I'd turn on the music program that comes on after the news. I didn't often get to hear Glenn Gould, but I listened to whatever music was playing and it started getting easier to like, as if my ear started to recognize Bach. Beethoven and Strauss.
I took too long one night and suddenly knew, even without turning around, that Dell was there in the doorway.
"What is this shit?"
"What shit?"
I should have known better. He was around that table and in my face before I could even move.
"That. Piano. Fucking violins. Thought you were done in here?"
"I am. It's just finished dripping."
I poured his coffee. Put in cream and sugar. I handed it to Dell, but as soon as he saw it coming he turned his back and I had to follow him into the living room, give it to him when he was sitting down.
"And turn off that garbage," he yelled after me as I went back to the kitchen. "Roseanne is just starting. You don't want to miss that."
I wouldn't have minded. But I turned off the radio. I swabbed the counters. Then I went into to sit with Dell. Next time I was in the library, the woman behind the Information Desk stopped me as I passed. "A video came in today about Glenn Gould. I thought of you." She passed a video to me. Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, it was called.
I took it home and put it in the bottom of the laundry hamper, and next Saturday afternoon while Dell was at the races, I put it on. It wasn't my kind of film, really. Kind of choppy. But Glenn Gould was playing, hunched over his piano on a little stool, that scarf still around his neck. I listened close and could hear him humming under the piece of music that I'd heard before.
"I'll be right out." I switched off the radio, quick.
"What the hell is this?" Dell was in the doorway, holding out the tape.
"Thanks. I've got to take it back."
"You get this from Rogers? It don't look like no Rogers' video"
"The library has videos. You should come sometimes. Maybe there's something there you'd like, Dell."
"What the hell is this? Never even heard of this guy."
"He's a musician. A pianist. He was a genius, they say."
"So what the hell would you know about him, then?"
When Shelley called a couple of weeks later, I asked her if she'd heard of that film.
"Sure, Ma. It's won some kind of award." Shelley's the one knows everything there is to know about movies. Always smart, my Shell. My favorite, too, though I wouldn't let on to Jason in a million years. Being a boy, Jason should have been closer to Dell if he'd been the kind of Dad to be close to his kids.
"How'd you know about it?" Shelley asked.
"I got it from the library? I've been listening to Glenn Gould."
"Who's he, then?"
"Was. Kind of a loner, and a genius. A pianist."
"Didn't know you were interested in music, Ma." I didn't ask what she thought I might be interested in. Making three meals and day and clearing away and planning for the next one? Interested in laundry and cleaning and ferrying kids to games and making sure they had what they needed for school? Ironing shirts that would just get dirty again?
"I'm not really. Just caught my attention, Shelley," I told her. I should have known. It was bound to happen.
"For Christsakes!" Dell yelled one afternoon when he turned on the radio to find out who had won the game. Something stringy was playing. Could have been Vivaldi. But what do I know about music.
Dell swung his arm back. When he smacked the shelf the radio crashed across the counter and onto the floor. I stood back and watched as the back popped off, the batteries sprung out.
He kicked the radio. Then slammed out of the room. The door caught me across the cheek as it swung back.
I stood against the table and held my face. I tried to breathe deep a couple of times, like I'd learned at Yoga. I listened hard for music. Or humming. But all I could hear was the blood behind my ears.
In the living room Dell was shoving furniture around. He turned when I came in "I am so sick of hearing that goddam stuff every time I turn around. You doing this to get at me?"
I could feel my cheek pounding against my hand. "I thought I'd try something new. I like listening to classical music. " It hurt almost too much to speak. "It's real pretty some of it, Dell."
His jaw was twitching. His face was getting red like it does when he's almost out of control. I backed away a step or two, but not far enough.
"Dammit. What the hell's wrong with the stuff I listen to?" He was yelling now, banging his fists against his legs with every word "What's wrong with what you're used to listening to. The oldies. We both like the oldies. Who the fuck do you think you are, lady la di da, listening to violins and stuff. Makes me want to puke."
He went on for a bit, but I had stopped lsitening. I was listening for Glenn Gould, for his humming, imaging him hiding out behind his scarf, wrapped tight around his face. Dell's voice went on and on, then slowed, then got quiet and stopped. Just like I'd heard music do.
I waited for just a moment, then I said "I'm going to clean up in there." Dell was breathing heavy, looking around like he needed a way out.
I had made it easy for him. Like always.
He brought a new radio home next day. His way of saying sorry, but too late again.
It's tuned to the oldies now. I only listen to it when he's home.
The bruise on my face is gone; it's as if I'm the only one who ever knew it was there.
At night we watch the same old shows together, and sometimes, if they're not reruns, we talk about this season's programs, whether they're better than last.
I miss the music.
I try to remember some of what I heard, sounds I'd just started to recognize. But music's funny. It melts away, and there's no way to get your memory around it when it's gone.
I still listen for Glenn Gould humming. Sometimes I think I hear him.
But I know it's only in my head.

1 March 2013
This month, detailed pond survey work will be carried out as part of a major project to develop robust evidence around the distribution of great crested newts (GCN) across England, creating a high-resolution model capable of accurately predicting their population levels in different habitats.
It is hoped that this investment in science will ultimately enable GCN issues to be addressed earlier and more flexibly in the planning process, minimising the costs and delays which developments can sometimes face, when one-off newt surveys need to be carried out and subsequent mitigation measures developed. The improved evidence base will also create benefits to help conserve this special, highly-protected species.
Hyder-Cresswell consultancies has been awarded the contract for the first phase of the GCN Evidence Enhancement Project, which involves collection of extensive habitat suitability and water quality data from ponds across seven pilot areas in Dorset, Kent, Gloucestershire, Milton Keynes, Epping Forest, Lincolnshire and Cheshire. Using Land Registry and Ordnance Survey data to locate ponds and identify their owners, ecological consultants have now contacted landowners across these areas, requesting permission to access. This been carried out in liaison with the NFU and CLA.
Britain is a stronghold for GCNs, but their population, although widespread and locally common, is generally declining. Habitat loss - particularly of the ponds that adult newts require for breeding - and intensive agriculture are the key threats to their conservation.
Great crested newts are fully protected under domestic and European law, making it an offence to capture, kill, injure or disturb them or to damage key elements of their habitat. Despite the high level of protection afforded to GCNs, their continued decline indicates that current conservation approaches are not sufficiently effective. Natural England believes that a deeper understanding of their habits will allow more effective maintenance of their favourable conservation status across the country, providing the opportunity to more proportionately address some of the impacts they can have on developments.
This project forms part of our work with Government and others to consider some of the wider challenges associated with the Habitats Directives and improve how we deliver our role as an adviser and regulator, when interpreting laws which protect European Protected Species. Subsequent phases of the project will see suitable ponds surveyed for the presence or absence of GCNs.

Olympus recently announced the M.ZUIKO ED 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II lens, compatible with the OM-D E-M5 and its PEN range of Micro Four Thirds models.
The super-telephoto zoom lens, which offers a focal range of 150-600mm in equivalent terms, features an advanced ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating to eliminate ghosting and flare along with Olympus's near-silent MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) focusing technology.
The Olympus M.ZUIKO ED 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II has an RRP of €549 and will be on sale later this month.
We were lucky enough to get our hands on one of the first samples of the new lens in the UK, so head on over to our full sample image gallery to see what the lens is capable of.

I think, in fairness, the truth lies someone in the middle. You're right, the auto-group in BG was a great fix.
The point I'd like to make is, yes, there have been hundreds of great improvements in the game and there were lots of serious problems in "Old Azeroth". On the whole, the game is far, far better now and yet, there are some things from the old game I still miss and prefer. Decent realm based PvP being one of them.

Daily nuggets of inspiration from the good folk
at Elmwood.
Mouth to mouth
Have you ever noticed that teeth and chewing gum look remarkably similar? No? Well, someone else has. And that someone has designed some rather nice packaging.
Hani Douaji's concepts for Trident Xtra Care feature illustrations of mouths – including some luscious red lips and a bushy tash – with the chewing gum revealed inside the smile.
Once you pop a piece of chewing gum, you're left with a gappy mouth – a not-so-subtle reminder to go and buy more. (Or to brush your teeth so your real pearly whites stay intact.)

Cider with bite
Is it OK for men to drink cider? That's the question Esquire recently asked its readers, and one the drinks' industry has battled for centuries (maybe a slight exaggeration).
Attempting to prove they most definitely can, Snake Bite, the hybrid cider/lager brand has brought out new packaging specifically targeted at men.
The bottles feature a don't-mess-with-me yellow-eyed snake, which is painted directly onto the glass. The technique is more expensive than normal labels, but apparently creates raised scales and a 'manly', tactile feel.
Co-founder Tommy Hester said: "We went with more of an aggressive label because we wanted a cider that guys could drink."
Now how do you like them apples?

The taste of music
The grills are alive, with the sound of meatballs. Whilst this soundbite makes for a catchy intro, it technically isn't true as most people tend to favour frying their meatballs. Still, it doesn't make the latest project from a group of students at Hyper Island any less tasty.
They've created a device that allows you to turn your favourite tunes into unique meatball recipes. Taking the name Beatballs, the app uses some nifty coding to analyse each song according to tempo, cadence, mood, key and popularity, and convert that information into ingredients. Beyonce's XO uses beef mince, Black Dog by Led Zepplin is a chicken mince recipe (with a fair bit of curry powder).
Why meatballs? Well, Hyper Island was founded in Sweden, so it seems the logical choice. And it gives them the chance to print T-Shirts with slogans such as 'Justin Beiber's balls in your mouth'. (Can't see many takers for that one.)

Off the catwalk, onto the superhighway
London. Paris. Milan. New York. The hearts of the fashion world, where the rich and famous mingle with the young and trendy. The source of style for millions of people all over the world. Now we can add Leiden, Puri, Medan and Newcastle to the list, thanks to eBay's latest adventure.
The e-marketplace packed its photographers off to New York Fashion Week to capture the hottest trends, which they've assembled in a shopable online 'inspiration hub'. They'll then select relevant listings from retailers, allowing bargain hunters all over the world to pick up similar styles for a fraction of the price.
There's also a Pinterest site set up with its own team of fashionistas on hand for those looking for a little more inspiration. Once New York Fashion Week finishes the team will use the same tech at fashion shows around Europe. Time to #shopinspired.

Junk mail
Neighbours. Everybody needs good neighbours. With a little understanding, you can find the perfect sledge, lawnmower or ironing board. Whilst the residents of Ramsay Street in Australia's most popular soap opera generally shared more intimate experiences, residents of Switzerland can now help their neighbours out on more practical matters through Pumpipumpe.
The name may sound comical (and slightly saucy) but Pumpipumpe is a social sharing community that allows people to let neighbours know of any useful tools/ appliances/ disco balls they can borrow. All you do is display the relevant stickers on your post box, and probably make sure you agree a date that they'll return them.
It was all started by cyclists who used the idea to let those with the misfortune of a flat tyre know where a handy pump was. Which hopefully explains the name.

You're underestimating Subtley rogues. They are not many, but considering the next patch when the spec is going to be buffed... Expect to see MANY more around. Especially from those who only do BG's and open world. I wouldn't be surprised that eventually Subtley would become cookie cutter spec with the introduction of rated BG's.
Subtley is very deadly against cloth classes just because he can spam Ambush which has 75%+ crit chance (thats with very bad gear). I'm talking about Shadow Dance. If in 1v1 you don't CC or teleport away from the Subtley rogue in the 2-3 seconds during his opener, you're dead beyond the hope of recovery. It's actually with the plate classes the Subtley has more trouble, because added dodge chance simply doesn't help - magic, dots, stuns and attacks from behind - Subtley rogues don't use stun often and rely on killing the target in first 10 seconds or so. If they fail, they just reset the fight. I've seen some not even specing in Ghostly Strike because it's really not that useful for a GCD. At least not in the current patch.
Also, for you information, kiting the rogue doesn't work. You will have slowing poison on you all the time and if you spend time dispelling it, you are going to simply die, because it will be reapplied faster than your GCD finishes. The rogue will shrug off any of your snare with CLOS, hit Sprint and by the time they close the gap again, you are dead, unless you outgear him by a horrible margin. Thats from a priest/arcane mage viewpoint.
As a long time Sub rogue, I agree with you on many points. With one exception, I think the tree has such a long history of being "weak" and such a brief history of being cool (I still have to explain HaT) that I doubt too many people will spec into it. Hopefully this buff will get us back into "acceptable" territory.
Also, I'm surprised no one mentioned the power of Shadowstep? When I'm working a group of players, they constantly use their AoE's far too close together. I'm nowhere near the group, but I close that gap instantly with ShS. I think in general most classes assume we're stalking them much closer than we really do. Perhaps those other classes stay at a closer ranger.
