Go Further. Use Less Fuel.
|20/27 city/hwy MPG [*]
|The legendary Pathfinder: rugged, capable, tough. And good on gas. To maximize fuel efficiency, the frame, drivetrain, and even the climate control system are built with lightweight components. An aerodynamic exterior and the Xtronic CVT®—our most advanced transmission ever—also cut down its consumption. All this adds up to 26 MPG on the highway. [*]
Up to 5,000 LBS TOWING CAPACITY [*]
The 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers seamless power with optimum fuel efficiency, so even heavy adventures are no match for the 2015 Pathfinder. The proof? It's in the numbers: 260-hp, 240-lb-ft of torque, and up to 5,000 pound maximum towing capacity—the most standard towing in the class [*]. So whether you're headed to the marina, hauling all your gear, or roughing it for the weekend, just hook up your boat, trailer or camper and go! [*]
Class Exclusive TAKE YOUR PICK:
No other SUV [*] in its class gives you the choice of 2WD, 4WD, and Auto Modes. Turn the available All-Mode 4x4i Dial, located just behind the gearshift, to lock into 4WD on rough terrain and in varying weather. Turn it again to switch into 2WD for better mileage. The intuitive Auto Mode senses slippery roads or rough terrain and automatically adjusts power to each wheel. When things smooth out, it switches back to 2WD.
What kind of transmission do you put in the Next Gen SUV? The class-exclusive, next-generation Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), obviously. Pathfinder's CVT eliminates gears by using a precisely machined metal drive chain instead of traditional fixed metal gears, which transfers power from the engine to the wheels far more effectively and smoothly. So whatever you ask from the engine, the CVT provides it by shifting seamlessly to give you the perfect speed, all while improving fuel economy.
Dual Panorama Moonroof
It's got room, with a view. The available dual panorama moonroof stretches over all three rows of seats. Whether you're in the city, on the highway, or cruising through the mountains, everyone has a great view.
The Nissan Pathfinder seats seven passengers, and everybody travels in style. Pathfinder offers loads of front headroom and legroom and class-exclusive reclining 3rd-row seats [*] are standard. Rich leather-appointed seats (front and second rows), a wood-tone trim, and a Tri-Zone entertainment system [*] with three screens are all available options for the ultimate in sophisticated adventure.
Class Exclusive
Around View® Monitor [*]
Using four cameras, the available class-exclusive Around View® Monitor (AVM) [*] creates a composite image of the 2016 Pathfinder from above and displays it on the touch-screen monitor. This helps visually confirm the vehicle's position relative to the lines around parking spaces and the adjacent objects displayed on the monitor, allowing the driver to maneuver into parking spots with more ease.
Tri-Zone Entertainment System
When the kids are happy, you are happy, and that's where the available Tri-Zone Entertainment System [*] comes in. Up front, the driver and passenger can enjoy music. 2nd-row passengers can watch movies, play video games, plug in a laptop, all on dual 7-inch DVD monitors, listening on two wireless headsets. The entire system can be controlled through the touch-screen display on the dash.
Nissan Navigation System
The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with an available advanced Navigation System [*] that gives you all the tools you need—like turn-by-turn voice guidance, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, [*] and available SiriusXM Satellite Radio [*] —to make every trip a snap.
Advanced Drive-Assist® Display
Keep your focus on what matters most—driving. Advanced Drive-Assist® Display is a 4.2-inch color monitor sitting right in front of you in the gauge cluster. The customizable, easy-to-read screen displays front and rear power ratios, the trip computer, tire pressure, fuel economy, external temperature, and much more.
Nissan Intelligent Key®
With the available Nissan Intelligent Key®, you can unlock all four doors, open the power liftgate, and start the engine without taking the keys out of your pocket. It's even smart enough to move the driver's seat, steering wheel, and side-view mirrors to your pre-set positions.
Heated Steering Wheel
Old Man Winter never saw this one coming. Keep those mitts toasty even on the coldest days with an available class-exclusive heated steering wheel that warms up at the touch of a button.
Heated & Cooled Seats [*]
Leather-appointed seats are not a lot of fun on a hot day, and not much better on a cold one. Pathfinder's seats [*] save you from stickiness by cooling down when it's hot out, and warming up when it's cold.
Safety Shield
Serious About Safety
Like every Nissan vehicle, Pathfinder comes equipped with a suite of standard safety, driving, and convenience features designed to inspire confidence behind the wheel, and help make every ride better, safer, and more enjoyable.
Click on + to explore more safety features.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Easy-Fill Tire Alert
TPMS uses an icon on your dash to notify you when tires aren't properly inflated. On certain trims, the Advanced Drive-Assist® Display tells you which specific tires are low. As you fill your tires, Easy-Fill Tire Alert lets you know—with a friendly beep—when they've got enough air. [*]
Smart Auto Headlights
Available Smart Auto Headlights turn on automatically in the dark, or after four swipes if you activate your wipers. They also know to switch on if you drive into a tunnel, but are clever enough to stay off in the shade. Pretty smart for headlights. You might even say brilliant.
Around View® Monitor (AVM)
Backing-up and parking is a snap with the available AVM. Four cameras create a virtual 360° image of your Pathfinder, then display it on the LCD monitor to help you see exactly how much room you've got behind you, in front of you, and even between you and the curb. [*]
RearView Monitor and Rear Sonar System
The available RearView Monitor shows you what's directly behind you, on the dash-mounted screen in front of you. [*] It's paired with an available Rear Sonar system that beeps when it senses an object up to six feet away— making it easier to park and back-up. [*]
Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
Available BSW turns on a warning light if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot area, and sounds a warning tone if you signal to change lanes.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
When your Pathfinder® is in Reverse, available Rear Cross Traffic Alert [*] helps to warn you of moving vehicles approaching from either the left or the right side of the rear of your vehicle.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) & Traction Control System (TCS)
When it detects oversteer or understeer, VDC can reduce engine power and apply brake pressure to specific wheels. Working with VDC, TCS can sense drive-wheel spin and reduce throttle to help keep you on your steered path. [*]
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
When you need to stop in a hurry, the Anti-lock Braking System pumps the brakes faster than you possibly can, helping to prevent wheel lockup and maintain steering control.
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) & Brake Assist
Should you ever need to hit the brakes hard, Brake Assist [*] will help you come to a quicker stop by applying maximum braking force. If you've got passengers or cargo in the back, EBD will detect the added weight, and send extra force to the rear brakes.
Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS)
The AABS includes dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt sensors and an occupant classification sensor. Their inflation rate adjusts based on crash severity and seat belt usage. [*]
Supplemental Air Bags
Built into the front seats, two side-impact supplemental air bags move with you as you adjust your seating position. Above, roofmounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensors help provide head protection for all three rows of outboard occupants. [*]
LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)
LATCH is another way we're working to keep children safe. The system lets you secure LATCH-compatible child restraints without having to use seat belts or a locking clip.
Check out the video, and look for the latest Fit guide at Nissan. Watch Video Snug Kids® Child Restraint System.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
When your tire pressure is low, an icon on your dash notifies you. On certain Pathfinder trims, the Advanced Drive-Assist® Display will tell you which specific tire is low. [*]
Easy-Fill Tire Alert
When filling your tires, Easy-Fill Tire Alert gives you a friendly beep of the horn when you're at the right pressure.[*]
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
Hit a slick spot in a corner and suddenly you may be going in a direction you did not intend to be going. In these situations, VDC monitors steering and braking. If needed, it responds by reducing engine output and/or applying brake pressure to specific wheels. [*]
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
In panic-braking situations, the ABS is able to pump the brakes faster than you possibly can, helping to prevent wheel lockup and allowing you to continue to steer while braking heavily.
Brake Assist/Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD)
If you need to slam on the brakes, Brake Assist [*] detects how hard you're braking, and if it senses you are in an emergency, it helps to apply maximum braking force. The EBD system is designed to send extra force to the rear brakes when there's extra weight in the back.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The standard TCS means you won't be wasting power just spinning the tires. When it senses drive-wheel spin, it responds by reducing throttle or applying brake pressure to specific wheels.
Next Steps
Build Your Pathfinder®
You've found the Nissan that's right for you. Now, the fun continues. Pick your version, colors and packages, and make it distinctly yours with genuine Nissan accessories.

Humanists discover and create. They turn self-expression into art. They connect with cultures (including our own) by learning their languages and interpreting their creative achievements. They ponder the big questions a thoughtful mind cannot avoid and add their voices to the great conversation.
The humanities
At Morris, the humanistic disciplines include
- the Arts (Art History, Studio Art, Music, Theatre Arts)
- Communication, Media and Rhetoric [CMR]
- English and Literature (including Creative Writing)
- Philosophy
- World Languages (Anishinaabe, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish)
A humanistic education was once reserved for the rich and ruling classes. This once made sense because a humanistic education prepares one to discuss the ultimate aims and pleasures of the state, law, politics, and culture. It is one of the great achievements of democratic educational institutions like UMM that a sort of education once reserved for aristocrats—instruction in Latin, philosophy, poetry—is now available to the rest of us.
Roughly, a field is more "humanistic" as opposed to "scientific" when expert judgment and good taste are necessary to evaluate the quality of the work under scrutiny. A humanistic education is essential in a world where interdisciplinary competence is increasingly necessary, and where leaders and professionals are expected to have both quantitative and qualitative skills. Humanities majors at UMM often double major in scientific or social-scientific fields and enrich their employment prospects and their personal lives by drawing together the skills they learn across our campus.
Put simply, it makes sense to study the Humanities.

In 1990, the American Heart Association developed the Chain of Survival. This protocol addresses the fact that most Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) episodes occur outside of a hospital, with death occurring within minutes of onset. For the Chain to be effective, quick execution of each and every link is critical. With each minute that passes, the likelihood of survival decreases 7-10%.
Time After Onset of Attack
Survival Chances
With every minute
Chances are reduced by 7 - 10%
Within 4 - 6 minutes
Permanent brain damage starts
to occur with possible death
After 10 minutes
Few attempts at resuscitation
To provide the best opportunity for survival, each of these four links must be put into motion within the first few minutes of SCA onset:
Early Access to Emergency Care must be provided by calling 911.
Early CPR should be started and maintained until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive.
Early Defibrillation is the only one that can re-start the heart function of a person with ventricular fibrillation (VF). If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, a trained operator should administer defibrillation as quickly as possible until EMS personnel arrive.
Early Advanced Care, the final link, can then be administered as needed by EMS personnel.
When each link in the chain works successfully, the chance of surviving SCA increases greatly.

5 Reasons You Should Be Scared of Apple
Let's just say it: Nobody has changed the way we interact with technology like Apple has over the last 10 years. Even if the iPad turns out to be the disaster that many are anticipating, Steve Jobs will still be seen as the hero who turns top-end technology into friendly little gadgets even your grandma can use.
But recently, a faint chorus has been growing--thousands of tech geeks suggesting that if you look under Apple's shiny white veneer, you'll find some practices that are less than user friendly. In fact, some of the things Jobs and Apple are being accused of are so over the top, Lex Luthor would have to take off his hat ... and then use it to cover the dark stain spreading across the front of his pants.
#5. Apple Versus Their Customers
When you buy Apple products, you don't just buy computers or gadgets. Apple sells iPods and iPhones that play music purchased in their iTunes store. It's all part of Jobs's sales pitch to people who pride themselves on individuality. Even before there were ads featuring the kid from Die Hard 4 bickering with John Hodgeman in heaven, the message was been the same: PCs are for those people who follow the herd, but you choose Mac because you think differently.
The prototypical Mac user: Thought differently, didn't know how to use a computer.
And the message seemed to take. In the court of public opinion, Apple is the hip, young underdog challenging his competition. Who have fared... less well.
The "Hitler Test" is a widely accepted yardstick of public opinion.
But there's an unfortunate catch with Apple products. Even after you spend your hard earned money on fancy Jobsian wonder-toys, you still don't really own them. Turns out Jobs might have literally been speaking in the first person when he started slapping I's in front of everything he sold. As in, "I am Steve Jobs and I just sold you suckers a gadget that iDesigned, iControl and iBreak if you break my arbitrary rules."
Think we're exaggerating? Say you want to buy an iPhone. If your town isn't on one of the postcards Luke Wilson reads in the AT&T wireless commercials, you're going to have to "jailbreak" your new gadget. Don't worry; you won't need any digging spoons or defensive sodomy. Jailbreaking is just a term for modifying your iPhone in order to make it do what every other gadget on the market does: Whatever you tell it to. For instance, without jailbreaking you can't install unapproved third party applications, customize your user interface, or unlock your phone for use with another carrier.
More like fascistphone, right?
Again, manufacturers of other cell phones and gadgets generally don't care what customers do once they've paid for their products with good, honest credit card debt. But Apple goes beyond complaining. They will actively break your shit for disobeying their arbitrary rules.
Yes, Apple has sent out updates specifically designed to disable phones that have been modified to work with carriers other than AT&T, or to run Microsoft Office. Seriously now, we'd be inventing new, fluorescent shades of berserk if, say, a PC manufacturer broke your computer for installing Linux.
So how come Apple gets away with it?
#4. Apple Versus The First Amendment
Jason O'Grady writes a column about Apple for the tech news website ZDNet. One day O'Grady came across some inside information about an Apple product. He posted it in his blog and then got back to whatever tech journalists spend their time doing. Masturbating while fondling digital cameras, probably.
Upon finding out about the leak, Apple could have taken the free publicity and ignored the whole thing or simply asked O'Grady to remove his article. Instead, they went absolutely batshit crazy and hulked out on some poor nerd who gives them free advertising for a living.
They subpoenaed his ISP, tried to get them to take down his website and source of employment, and also subpoenaed O'Grady himself in order to get the name of the source who leaked the information. Staring down the barrel of Apple's 14 billion dollar legal shotgun, Jason went to the Electronic Frontier Foundation for help, causing a legal cluster fuck that went all the way to the state appeals court before a judge finally convinced Apple and Jobs to act like a couple of Fonzies and be cool.
By now you're probably pretty curious to know just what sort of leak Apple thought was worth attempting to destroy O'Grady's career over. Was it a new iPod? Leaked code for an upcoming version of OS X? The iPhone?
Nope. It was a FireWire breakout box for GarageBand.
What's that? You have no fucking clue what a FireWire breakout box is? Neither do most people. It's a minor peripheral product. Sort of makes you terrified for the poor bastard who leaks something important like ...
#3. Apple Versus The Poor Bastard Who May or May Not Have Leaked an iPhone
Apple is famous across the world for having some fairly strict policies on information security. On the transparency spectrum, Apple's corporate policy makes the CIA look like one of those sliding glass doors toddlers always run into on YouTube. Beyond the usual security doors and guards, according to the New York Times, "Some Apple workers in the most critical product-testing rooms must cover up devices with black cloaks when they are working on them, and turn on a red warning light when devices are unmasked so that everyone knows to be extra-careful, [former employee] said." The article didn't outright say that Steve Jobs has been implanting his employees with psycho-receptive "pain chips" designed to inflict unbearable agony upon the disloyal, but it was pretty heavily implied.
So what's wrong with the secrecy? Absolutely nothing. Except when it indirectly leads to torture and suicide. Then it's probably time for management to throttle things back just a smidge. It was reported earlier this year, that Apple reached that point over a possible leak of an iPhone prototype.
Sun Danyong was a young engineer who worked at the Shenzhen factory of Chinese electronics manufacturer, Foxconn. His job had something to do with handling new iPhone prototypes, one of which was lost or stolen while in his care. Apple has a zero tolerance policy for corporate leaks from the companies it works with, so Foxconn knew Danyong's slip-up could potentially cost them tens of millions of dollars in future business once Apple dropped the hammer.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Foxconn did the only thing a self-respecting sociopathic megacorporation could: torture the crap out of their employee. Facing another session over the missing iPhone prototype, Danyong leapt to his death from a 12th floor apartment building.
Apple didn't torture Danyong themselves, but their maddeningly intense security policies set the mood. Prototypes and specs of other company's next generation devices leak out all the time, and no one gets hauled into interrogation chambers by corporate police over it.
Employees being forced to work weekends and holidays without being allowed to tell their families; spy cameras inside of offices; engineers being forced to work under sheets... isn't this going a bit too far for consumer electronics? We expect this kind of security around, say, secret government bases and hidden volcano lairs, not from the makers of the Pippin.

Lack of answers proved frustrating to meeting attendee
In my Jan. 6 letter "Naugatuck officials seemed uninterested in public's perspective," I addressed the Naugatuck Board of Mayor and Burgesses' decision on the General DataComm property. I mentioned that I felt frustrated when I left the Dec. 19 board meeting because many basic business questions from the audience were left unanswered but the board still voted 8-1 to approve this large purchase.
Dan Sheridan responded to this in his Jan. 8 letter "Naugatuck residents need to get more involved with town." In response to Mr. Sheridan, nowhere in my letter or at the meeting did I question the amount of time the board spent on this issue. This was brought up by Mr. Sheridan and others at the meeting involved in the process. No one I know questioned that.

The town is a smelly dumb with no jobs anyway. Instead of arguing about what the taxpayers are stuck with you should have sold and got out of town long ago. "

A common analogy for gravity is the ball-on-a-rubber-sheet model. In this model, mass distorts spacetime and creates a 'valley' into which other mass can fall. Is this same principal valid for magnetic fields as well (proton-electron)? If so, then how is the repulsion effect modelled?
I ask because the underlying properties of both forces is very similar (inverse-square law). Thanks.

Hello Forum,
For a couple of reasons it can be very useful to position your camera in a slanted position when using a lens ring and a fisheye lens.
The slanted position is when you rotate your lens in the ring in such a position that the camera is not straight up (the portrait position) and neither is set horizontal (the landscape position) but set at a position in between those two at an angle of 60 degree.
Depending on the camera and lens combination it can be needed to combine the slanted position with a little tilt of the lens to fully cover zenith, the tilt that is needed can vary from zero to 2.5, 5 or 7.5 degree.
For almost all(*) combinations of fisheye lenses and cameras the slanted position has at least one or more advantages:
1) The slanted position makes the overlap of the images at the horizon(**) of the pano larger, this has several advantages:
- it will be easier for the auto control point generator of PTGui to set the control points (CP's) with a good spread, therefore the quality of the aligning of the images will be better,
- with a larger overlap the blenders of PTGui will get more play room to make a good seem in the area of the horizon, especially when using Smartblend it will be easier for the blender to remove ghosting caused by moving people in the scene.
- when the overlap is large enough it is possible to shoot a pano with fewer images, f.e. with a EOS 5D + shaved Tokina 10-17@12mm it is possible to shoot a full spherical with only 3 slanted images instead of 4 in portrait position.
2) The slanted position will enlarge the vertical field of view (VFOV) for all panos that are created with circular fisheye images that are cut off at the top and down side of the image but has curved edges in the corners of the images(***).
The slanted position is using these curved parts of the image to enlarge the VFOV to a full 180 degree, the advantages:
- it is possible to get a full spherical pano instead of a limited one, this is ideal for example when shooting from a pole or in all those situations where it is not so easy (or not wanted) to shoot a nadir patch image.
- because there are no black holes in zenith and nadir in such situations there is also no need to limit the vertical view of the pano in the player to block the black holes so the viewing experience will be often much better.
3) The slanted position can enlarge the resolution of the pano when a zoom lens is used and a full spherical pano is needed.
The gain can be up to 30% more pixels. For example, when the portrait position is used the maximum zoom of the shaved Tokina 10-17 when used on a full frame sensor camera is approx.12mm. With the slanted position the zoom can be set to 14mm. With a zoom setting of 12 mm the pano resolution is approx. 8400x4200 px (on EOS 5D) but with 14mm the resolution is approx. 9600x4800 px, resulting in a gain of 30% more pixels.
(*) In all situations where the image is full circular (f.e. Sigma 8 on a full frame sensor camera or a Sigma 4.5 on a cropped size sensor camera) there is no advantage to set the camera in a slanted position.
(**) While the overlap at the horizon is larger the overlap in the areas around zenith and nadir will be smaller. PTGui seldom places CP's in those areas so the fact that the overlap is smaller has no impact on the placing of CP's in those areas. The spread of CP's in the area around the horizon however is better and hence the total spread of CP's is better.
(***) When using a full frame fisheye image the advantage of a larger VFOV is very little, the holes in nadir and zenith in the pano will look like a ninja warp star and to reduce the size of the stars you a larger number of images. To have the stars out of view you have to limit the player, after blocking the view the gain of VFOV of the pano is limited.
There are not only advantages when using a slanted camera position, there are also some dis-advantages. Without going to deep into the "why" I will name a few:
- the image quality of the pano can be less. This issue can be a theoretical or a practical one, it all depends on the used combination of camera and lens and your personal standards about quality.
- special care is needed to reduce CA and color fringing and to sharpen the source images close to the edges.
To make it possible to judge the quality for yourself here is a link to a couple of panos that are created from 6 images shot with a EOS 5D + Nodal Ninja R-D4 rotator + R1 lens ring + Tokina 10-17@14mm in a 60 degree slanted position with 5 degree tilt:
And here is a link to an example of my PanoWalk&Drive tours, all panos are created from 3 images shot with a EOS 5D + Seitz VR motor drive + R10 lens ring + Tokina 10-17@10mm in a 60 degree slanted position with zero tilt:
When you have a lens ring and the quality of the panos suits your need then I hope this posting will inspire you to give the slanted position a try.
All Nodal Ninja lens rings are suited for slanted shooting, especially the R1, this model has an option to quickly set the tilt to one of its preset tilt positions.
Happy slanted shooting,

Inspector General Warns of Fannie and Freddie Losses
Defenders of the government-sponsored mortgage behemoths Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been boasting of big profits. Now a federal inspector general is warning of big losses.
The inspector general for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie and Freddie, reports they have been avoiding billions of dollars of potential long-term losses by neglecting to write off appropriate amounts of delinquent mortgages they own or backstop. Fannie and Freddie are supposed to treat mortgages that are more than 180 days delinquent as private banks must do. Instead, Fannie and Freddie have delayed following that requirement.
The FHFA more than one year ago declared Fannie and Freddie must change their accounting practices to conform with the mortgage write-off requirement. Instead, they have announced their intention to hold off until 2015. This enables Fannie and Freddie to avoid write-off losses.
"Three years appears to be an inordinately long period to fully implement" the new rule, wrote Steve A. Linick, the FHFA's independent inspector general, in a letter to acting FHFA Director Edward J. DeMarco on August 5. The letter was made public in mid-August.
'Not So Rosy'
"It's possible that the situation at Fannie and Freddie isn't quite as rosy as some have come to believe over recent months," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) told Los Angeles Times reporters after the letter was revealed. "But either way, I think we should all remember that these two entities wouldn't generate one penny without the government guaranteeing their transactions, a reality that underscores the need to move to a stronger system of housing finance."
Corker is sponsoring legislation with Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) to replace Fannie and Freddie with a new government mortgage guarantee program. In a statement issued one day after the release of the Linick letter, Corker indicated the news gives impetus to their "Housing Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act."
"There is real momentum growing to finally move a structural housing finance reform bill that ends the Fannie and Freddie model of private gains and public losses, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate, the House and the White House to see it through," Corker said.
Reform Bill Highlights
The Corker-Warner bill would:
- Mandate 10 percent capital, up front, for the system to protect taxpayers against future bailouts.
- Wind down Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) within five years of bill passage.
- Transfer appropriate utility duties and functions to the Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation (FMIC), modeled in part after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
- Replace the failed "housing goals" of the past with a transparent and accountable market access fund that focuses on ensuring there is sufficient decent housing available. The fund would not be paid for with tax dollars. There instead would be a small FMIC user fee that only those who choose to use the system pay.
- Ensure institutions of all sizes have direct access to the secondary market so local banks and credit unions aren't gobbled up by the mega banks when Fannie and Freddie are dissolved.
"Senators Warner and Corker are to be commended for taking a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to drafting a bill to restructure the secondary mortgage market in a way that provides sufficient liquidity to the market so that lenders can offer a full range of sustainable mortgage credit to qualified borrowers through all market conditions," said David H. Stevens, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, in a statement.
'Much to Do'
Frank Keating, president and CEO of the American Bankers Association, said in a statement the bill "follows principles long advocated by the ABA, and builds upon the framework detailed by the Bi-Partisan Policy Center's Housing Commission on which I served. The mortgage market is a complex and intricate part of our nation's economy and addressing the many concerns and interests of a wide range of participants will require much negotiation, compromise and cooperation. There is much work yet to be done, but this bill is a strong foundation on which to begin the process."
Fannie Mae on August 8 reported a $10.1 billion profit for the second quarter and said it would send a $10.2 billion payment to the U.S. Treasury for its federal aid. Freddie Mac also posted the second-largest quarterly profit in its history, reporting net income of $5 billion, and said it would make a $4.4 billion dividend payment toward the cost of its rescue aid.

Sprouted Nuts and Seeds
|This catalog has no sub-catalogs.
Completely unpasteurized almonds from Europe!
Our almonds are grown on the sunny slopes of Europe and come from highly prized hard shell almond trees. Hard-shelled almonds are more intensely flavored, have a higher concentration of almond oil and are much more rare and difficult to harvest. We think they are definitely worth the effort because that hard shell protects the seed and allows it to fully develop its essential almond-ness.
Almonds are high in antioxidant vitamin E, fiber, and monounsaturated fats. They're also an excellent source of manganese, magnesium, tryptophan, copper, vitamin B12 and phosphorus.
Ingredients: Premium, organic, whole, raw, sprouted EURopean almonds.
About Our Better Than Roasted® Product Line
Better Than Roasted presents a line of soaked, sprouted and dehydrated, certified organic raw nuts and seeds, whole nut and seed butters, trail mixes, and love bites.
Our Better Than Roasted process maximizes the bioavailability of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in our nuts and seeds. We begin with nuts and seeds that are raw, premium, whole, and certified organic. We then hand sort, soak, rinse, and dry them at a low temperature, not exceeding 108° F, which preserves temperature-sensitive enzymes and nutrients.
Once you try Better Than Roasted, you will agree that our sprouted nuts and seeds are not only better than traditional nut products, but healthier too!

My stay at the Chamartin Ciudad Jardin apartment on Calle Ramos Carrion, Madrid has not been satisfactory. Nest in bed I could not sleep because it was totally broken and got an infernal noise. We had to sleep on the floor leading to the lounge mattress. Besides the mattress were three pieces of tables. The stage gets noisy and at night is very annoying. The refrigerator gets noisy, the doors of the kitchen cupboards to sag. The Nordic has a few very "unpleasant" spots and very nice couch but needs cleaning.
Conclusion needs urgent reform and have paid a lot of money to sleep on the floor.
As it is not recommend to anyone.
Mi estancia en el apartamento Chamartin Ciudad Jardin, en la calle Ramos Carrión, de Madrid NO ha sido satisfactoria. En la cama nido no se podía dormir por que era totalmente inestable y metía un ruido infernal. Tuvimos que dormir en el suelo llevando el colchón al salón. Además el somier eran tres trozos de tablas. La tarima mete mucho ruido y por la noche es muy molesto. El frigorífico mete mucho ruido, las puertas de los armarios de cocina se descuelgan. Los nórdicos tiene unas cuantas manchas muy "desagradables" y el sofá muy bonito pero necesita una limpieza.
Conclusión necesita una reforma urgente y he pagado mucho dinero por dormir en el suelo.
Tal como está no lo recomiendo a nadie.
Excellent to visit Madrid. The apartment is very clean, it has a private garage. The metro is very close.
One regret: the 2nd room is too small and lacks air conditioning.
Excellent pour visiter Madrid. L'appartement est très propre, il y a un garage privatif. Le métro est très proche.
Un seul regret : la 2° chambre est trop petite et dépourvue de climatisation.
We love. The apartment is very comfortable and very clean; new appliances, very good mattresses and showers worked great. The closets are huge. It's a bit old but well kept and maintained. We have a little puzzled theme floors, which is old and very nice but makes enough noise to tread and gives the feeling that you'll wake the whole building, but it seems that most certainly is not. Parking is right in front of the building, a large underground parking with surveillance; left the car there and moved to reach by metro stop Alfonso XIII is a 3-minute walk around the block; there are bus stops everywhere. The area is fantastic, it is a smart and safe neighborhood, with supermarkets and shops of all kinds, banks, cafes and bars.
Maria Luisa, the lady who checked us in, is lovable and very punctual, so everything perfect from the property.
On the side of Wimdu / Interhome only one catch: you had to pay 200 € deposit in cash, which we saw during the booking process and you have to dig a little in the final documentation to see it. Also when you finish the book you begin to receive emails: Wimdu confirmation, Interhome confirmation, invoice, accommodation details, ... but until the last did not get the exact address of the place and accurate and in fact I got to send email claiming it.
In short, I recommend it and would definitely repeat.
Nos ha encantado. El apartamento muy cómodo y muy limpio; los electrodomésticos nuevos, los colchones muy buenos y las duchas funcionaban muy bien. Los armarios son enormes. Es un poco antiguo pero está bien cuidado y mantenido. Nos ha desconcertado un poco el tema del parqué, que es antiguo y muy bonito pero hace bastante ruido al pisar y da la sensación de que vas a despertar a todo el edificio, aunque parece ser que luego no es así. El aparcamiento está justo enfrente del edificio, en un gran parking subterráneo con vigilancia permanente; dejamos el coche allí al llegar y nos movimos en metro, la parada de Alfonso XIII está a 3 minutos a pie a la vuelta de la manzana; también hay paradas de bus por todas partes. La zona es fantástica, es un barrio elegante y seguro, con supermercados y comercios de todas clases, bancos, cafeterías y bares.
María Luisa, la señora que nos atendió, es amabilísima y muy puntual, así que todo perfecto por parte de la propiedad.
Por el lado de Wimdu/Interhome, sólo una pega: había que entregar 200€ de fianza en efectivo, lo cual no vimos durante el proceso de reserva y hay que rebuscar un poco entre la documentación final para verlo. Además cuando terminas la reserva empiezas a recibir correos: de confirmación de Wimdu, de confirmación de Interhome, la factura, los detalles del alojamiento,... pero hasta el último no tuve la dirección exacta y precisa del lugar y de hecho llegué a enviar un correo reclamándola.
En resumen, lo recomiendo y volvería a repetir sin duda.
An accommodation beneath contempt . Dirty , leaky shower stall , broken lamps and contacts that did not work . Wifi only worked if you sat out in the yard . We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom.
Fee for cleaning, towels and sheets.
To pay for cleaning when the apartment was so dirty known very irritant . Smaller service oriented staff made it known not worthwhile to go and complain. Would never recommend this accommodation !
Very nice, pieceful and relaxing house.
We really enjoyed the large rooms and terasses outdoor. It is great to have realy furniture inside and outside.
The house is big and especially with a great view but:
- There're no curtains or shutters on the windows
- The sheets are minimal (and not optional)
- The house was quite dirty despite the payment for the cleaning
- The manager of the property accused me to stole one (1) pillowcase the day after we left. The pillowcase has been obviously found after a while, it was left behind during the collecting.
I've enjoyed my stay in Stintino for the sea, the nature, the landscape, but, for a short stay of 4 days, too many thing that didn't work out with the house.
Nice place and great pool. BUT too expensive! Bad kitchenequipments. Expensive sheets and towels. Not value with the money!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! Exactly what you see in pictures, except there isn't actually a balcony. Just a glass door with railings right behind it. The area was by far our favourite in Barcelona. Truly unique and enjoyable to just walk around at any time of the day. The stairs are a frightening first impression, 57 in a small spiral staircase, but still definitely worth the mission. But yes, pack light!
Thank you Maria for your kind hospitality, suggestions and being readily available for anything we needed.
I definitely recommend :)
Very disappointed at the standard of the apartment and the arrival and departure procedure! This apartment was let through Wimdu by Interhome. I will never book anything let by Interhome again. Having made the booking and paid for it we were totally unaware until one week before departure that bed linen and towels were not included and an extra charge was levied (Euro 28 for sheets and 12 for towels). When I challenged Interhome on non disclosure of information they told me it was in the small print: having trawled though every last word I found it in tiny print under Cancellation Policy! Again I challenged Interhome about deliberately placing this important piece of information where nobody will think to look. It should be clearly displayed on the webpage under Amenities where a note can be posted in the relevant area for all to see.
Arrival procedure - what a nonsense. Having paid for the sheets you have to collect them in person from the office. We made it by the skin of our teeth before the office closed for the weekend. Because our flight was delayed we arrived in Chamonix later than expected and had the office been closed we would have had no sheets at all! They are bulky to carry and I have photos of my husband looking like Santa Clause with a big white sack over his shoulder. It's the height of nonsense to expect arrivals to lug luggage and carry this bulky bad around Chamonix. On departure we had to return the sheets to the office again in said bag!
End cleaning - the previous tenant had presumably paid therefore we expected a clean apartment. The hard surfaces were clean but the living room carpet was disgusting with stains and grime and dirty black marks (photographed). It needs either professionally deep cleaned or dumped. Personally I would replace it. My bed sheet had a dirty brown mark on it (photographed) and the "white" patio furniture was grey with grime. I don't think it had been cleaned in years. Before I would set as much as a mug on it I scrubbed it with the dish scrubber (which I then couldn't use on the dishes!). Again we have photographic evidence. The best feature of the apartment is the wonderful view of Mont Blanc from the balcony. I don't know who is employed to clean this apartment but they could do with a lesson or two. I will never use Interhome again and I recommend that you steer clear of it too. I've used Wimdu many times and always been satisfied but not on this occasion.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
- Quality assured accommodation

Southeastern Illinois College Theatre will hold auditions for Fiddler on the Roof from 4 until 6 p.m. Feb. 26 and 27 in the George T. Dennis Visual and Performing Arts Center Theatre. Casting is for 10 female and 12 male roles plus a large ensemble.
Participants are asked to bring a one-to-two-minute comic or serious monologue and sheet music for a Broadway-style song. An accompanist will be provided. Participants are asked not to sing a capella or bring recorded music with words. Participants should also be prepared to read from the script.
Winner of nine Tony Awards, Fiddler on the Roof features such famous songs as "Tradition," "Sun Rise, Sun Set," and "If I Were a Rich Man."
The musical is set in 1905 in the Russian village of Anatevka. It centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and Jewish religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters-as each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of his faith-and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
Performance dates are April 26-28. Contact Allan Kimball at email@example.com or 618-252-5400, ext. 2487 for audition information. Audition monologues are also available, if requested.

"Homemade Tannerite"
So-called, "Homemade Tannerite" and patent rip-off targets can often end in catastrophic failure, and has in fact ended up causing serious injury and death. Unfortunately the internet is riddled with attempts to show others how to engineer various items, and in this case, a patented and safe item. We have inspected many other types of infringing products, and some homemade recipes are incredibly unstable and can be detonated on accident by static electricity, friction, and/or flame, making it lethal to the creator.
We don't wish to prevent others from experimenting on their own and having fun, but we have heard it all, from people being blown in half by infringing brand X targets, to a young man who blew his pants off (and some other appendages with it), then claimed it was "Tannerite®", which it was NOT. Every time someone gets hurt with their own concoction or a fly-by-night patent thief's product, we get pointed at, and we are sick and tired of it.
You have been warned, and Tannerite® accepts no responsibility for any website or individual purporting to have a recipe for homemade Tannerite. We have spoken with, and have on record, contact data to individuals who have in fact been injured by homemade exploding target recipes. The REAL patented Tannerite® target is safe, stable, and can not be activated by anything other than a high powered rifle round.
The only persons or companies allowed to use our trademarked name or sell binary exploding targets, are authorized distributors of Tannerite® Sports LLC. We have dealer programs for those who are interested in being in the business of reselling Tannerite® Brand Binary Exploding Targets.

The foliage is turning here on the coast of Maine, and so are the weather patterns. Warms winds that brushed the skin in August are becoming sharp reminders that the sea is not a survivable place during the winter season winds lash boats like sharp reminders not to stray too far from the safety of sheltered harbors
The wind makes interesting patterns on the waters surface during autumn and winter storms the waves build to many meters height and can easily blow Beaufort

This is my first post in what I hope will be a multi-year project logging my journeys to the islands of the Maine Island Trail by kayak.
The idea for this project came some time after reading Dogen's "Mountains and Waters Sutra" in the Shobogenzo. After years spent as a kayaker and mountaineer, Dogen's writing helped to crystallize what I had been feeling for many years. When in the outdoors, I do not feel the sentiment of the Romantic or Transcendentalist viewing a beautiful sunrise

News Release (Back to Menu)
Law School Welcomes Five New Faculty
An outstanding group of scholars will join the Rutgers School of Law–Newark faculty this fall, adding stellar practical and doctrinal expertise in such diverse areas as civil liberties, international human rights, international business transactions, securities regulation, constitutional law, and civil procedure. The new scholars are:
Elise C. Boddie, most recently Director of Litigation at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF). After receiving a J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School and a masters of public policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Boddie clerked for Judge Robert L. Carter, Southern District of New York. She then litigated at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, where she was the first recipient of the Fried Frank/NAACP LDF fellowship. From 1999 to 2005, she served as an assistant counsel, Director of Education and then Associate Director of Litigation at LDF, litigating complex affirmative action, employment and school desegregation cases in federal trial and appellate courts. She has argued in the federal courts of appeal, in addition to authoring numerous amicus briefs on a broad range of civil rights matters. She is a frequent public speaker and commentator and has appeared on major national television and radio programs. Before returning to LDF in 2011, Boddie taught constitutional law and other courses at New York Law School and Fordham Law School. Her scholarship and teaching interests focus on constitutional law, civil rights, and state and local government law.

i've just received my Canon 15mm lens and was wondering what was the best settings for this lens (A=53 // B=79,5).
Also, how many pictures do you take? I've tried -15°x6 +Z but this doesn't cover the nadir (i would say the nadir is visible at -25°).
So, what's your best settings with this gear?

During the movie Avengers, we are first introduced to Thor when he crashes the party on the plane, taking his brother Loki to get the location of the Tesseract from him. How did Thor know that Loki was on the plane?
Thor seems to have some unstated capability to track and find Loki. He knew exactly where the S.H.I.E.L.D. jet carrying Loki was when he intercepted it. Then later in the film, after being dumped out of the Helicarrier, he knows to go to New York City to stop Loki. If he is capable of always finding Loki, it explains both of these.
Heimdall, (guardian of the Bifrost aka rainbow bridge) can see all, thus he tracked down Loki's exact Location and directed Thor to Loki. Odin used dark energy to transport Thor to earth since the rainbow bridge is destroyed.
If you watch the scene closely when Thor and Loki are arguing a top a mountain after Thor takes Loki from the plane. You can clearly see Odin's two Ravens Huginn and Muninn flying by. So Odin is aware and present during their argument... Brilliant move by the film maker.
Also Oak trees are representative of Thor in ancient Norse mythology. Which just happen to be surrounding Iron Man and Thor as they fight.
This movie is full of geek win.
It is not stated in the movie, however one can assume one of the following:

When the raw egg plummeted to the playground hardtop at Creekside Elementary School in Boulder, falling exactly 36 inches, the shell shattered and the gooey insides oozed out. The 18 kindergartners looking on were rivited.
A few minutes later, a second egg — this one wrapped in a "helmet" of taped-together bubble wrap and dropped from exactly the same height — fared much better, escaping with its shell still intact.
The messy lesson was this: Your skull is like an eggshell, and without a helmet, a bonk on the head could mean bad news for your brain. The message was just one of the tips for taking care of your brain delivered to the kids by Nicole Speer, director of operations at the University of Colorado Boulder's Intermountain Neuroimaging Consortium, during a new outreach initiative run by the consortium.
"We have a group of neuroscience researchers that spans the region and a huge range of scientific expertise," Speer said. "We are taking important research findings from CU neuroscientists and putting them directly in the hands of kids, teachers and families in the community in an engaging and active way."
The researchers involved in the consortium use magnetic resonance imaging to take pictures of the brain. The images are allowing researchers to start answering a number of important research questions, from how exercise can fortify the brain to how inadequate sleep disrupts neural processes to how meditation techniques can lessen the effects of illnesses such as depression.
"Brain day," as the kindergartners called it, aims to get the results of those studies into the community right away — with as much fun as possible. On the first Speer's visits to Creekside earlier this month, she taught the students the basics of how the brain works. The kindergartners built neurons out of pipe cleaners, passed a stone around on the playground to demonstrate how neurotransmitters work, and played a round of the classic game red-light green-light to drive home the fact that the most basic function of the brain is to tell the body when to start doing things and when to stop again.
It must have stuck because when Speer returned for the second morning, she asked the 5- and 6-year-olds to recall what they learned last week. "We learned about frontal lobes," one boy said, "and how we use it to control our impulses."
The second morning of "brain day" focused on how to take care of the brain, from using helmets to eating the right foods to getting enough sleep to using simple meditation techniques to think more clearly. The lessons played out in a pile of fruits and vegetables, jars full of water and glitter and running games outside where paper neurons were offered as prizes. Still, the messiest activity was the hardest to beat.
"My favorite part was breaking the egg," said Ivy Spataro, 6, as she nibbled on the veggies the class had used to demonstrate the best way to fuel your neurons.
Ivy's teacher, Erin Cameron, said having CU scientists come into the classroom is a huge benefit to her students. "Having an expert in the field is brilliant," Cameron said. "She has the knowledge base and I can help translate that into kindergarten-friendly language."

Let $R$ be the ring of integers in an algebraic number field. There are beautiful descriptions of $K_0(R)$ and $K_1(R)$. Namely, $\tilde{K}_0(R)$ is the class group of $R$ and $K_1(R)$ is the group of units of $R$. Question : Is there a nice description of $K_2(R)$ (or at least some reasonable conjectures)? I couldn't find much about this in Milnor's or Rosenberg's books on algebraic K-theory, so I expect that the answer is pretty complicated. Is it maybe at least known in some special cases (say, for $R$ the integers in a quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$)?
It's a theorem of Garland that $K_2(R)$ is finite. Perhaps the best way to get a handle on it is to use Quillen's localization sequence $$0\rightarrow K_2(R)\rightarrow K_2(F)\stackrel{T}{\rightarrow} \oplus_v k(v)^*\rightarrow 0,$$ where $F$ is the fraction field and the $k(v)$ are the residue fields. The map $T$ is the sum of the tame symbols, which is surjective by a theorem of Matsumoto. The injectivity on the left follows from the vanishing of $K_2$ for finite fields.
This isn't much of an answer, but considering $K_2(R)$ as a subgroup of $K_2(F)$ seems a reasonable way to start some concrete considerations. For a detailed discussion of an algorithm that proceeds essentially along these lines ('Tate's method), see the paper
Belabas, Karim; Gangl, Herbert Generators and relations for $K_2( O_F)$. $K$-Theory 31 (2004), no. 3, 195--231.
Added, 8 July:
I'm sure most people know this, but I forgot to mention (for newcomers) the fact that $$K_2(F) = F^\times\otimes_{\mathbf Z} F^\times/\langle a\otimes(1-a)\mid a\not=0,1\rangle,$$ which I suppose motivates the original question, and makes it worthwhile to view $K_2(R)$ as a subgroup.
$K_1$ being the units, and Dirichlet's theorem on the unit group, generalize to odd K-groups via regulator maps and related conjectures and theorems (starting from work of Borel, Bloch, Beilinson, Zagier, and many others). For the even K-groups I don't know of any such description.
Charles Weibel's web page has a K-theory textbook with a chapter on $K_1$ and $K_2$, and a paper on the early history of K-theory. Both of those discuss $K_2$ of rings of integers in a number field, but I didn't see any characterization analogous to the one with regulators for $K_1$ or $K_3$.
I'm certainly not an expert on this subject but I have the feeling that if a snazzy description of $K_2({O_F})$ were proven or conjectured, it would be widely known.
I think Kolster's survey is a good introduction to questions related to arithmetic interpretations of higher K-groups.
I've never heard of $K_2(R)$ having a description as a more easily/elementarily described object attached to $R$. Borel showed that $K_2(R)$ is torsion. The order of $K_2(R)$ appears in "Theorem" 31 of Soulé's notes on higher algebraic K-theory of rings of algebraic integers where $K_2(R)$ (I think that "Theorem" 31 is called the Quillen-Lichtenbaum conjecture).
For the conjectural order, see the Birch-Tate conjecture http://eom.springer.de/B/b110560.htm .

Never thought of using scaffolding as a make shift stadium to watch a rodeo from. The interesting thing is in the States, that would never be allowed. Also, the scaffolding would be much more secure! I love the simple ingenuity of this picture.
Main Content
well all I can say is the horse has it's ears turned to rear listing to what is going on behind it, and yes you should never tie a horse by the reins things could go bad it just a second..I didn't know they had horses in Iran, I guess I thought of them having camels...my bad..
Awesome picture ...
ali jan mesle hamishe khob va khalagh
Wondering what are they doing up on the scaffolding, artistic shot though :)
Poor horse
Poor horsey
Be brave. Goodspeed!
Fantastic Shot..
I agree ...the horse looks miserable, hot and sad. His ears are back too. And, no one seems to care.
Not to my liking,........ the horse looks very sad and forlorn and the people all seem oblivious to that fact! It certainly seems to be telling a story in that respect.
Surreal & so wonderful!
Like the way the B&W gives the photo a distinctively old-fashioned feel. Nomads are sort of isolated from modern life, so it ties in well.
Amazingly Amazing Shot
its dramatically amazing
A good shot, but there is nothing in it for me! j.e.s........
Being a horse person, there are things about this I don't like. Horses should never be tied by the reins especially with a harsh bit that can cut their mouth if they pull back. This horse looks very resigned to being tied up but all of that can quickly change. The poses of the men on the scaffold are interesting. The position of the horse is like a balancing point.
Nice Shot, congratulations
@Laurel DeStefano The horses ears are forward and he looks dry (horses have sweat glands) and calm. Horses do not have "sad looks" If you see a horse with it's head hanging low the human brain interprets it as sadness. There really is no indicator (outside the imagination) that would indicate this horse is sad, hot or miserable. That's not to say he isn't, I just think you're making one hell of a leap.

BELMONT, N.C. – Despite sophomore Zak Hale's fourth straight pin and graduate student Zane Newton's 10-9 decision, Anderson University wrestling could not string together its second straight win as the Trojans fell to Belmont Abbey 40-8 Wednesday evening at the Wheeler Center.
Hale improved to 11-3 on the season, earning a second period pin over Clemente Narviaz at 141. The Shaftsbury, Vt. native now has four pins on the season.
Newton, who becomes the second Trojan this season to post double digit wins, notched a 10-9 decision at 157 over John Glunt. The graduate student moves to 10-5 on the year and has won two of his last three bouts.
Senior Cory Monteforte (125) suffered a narrow 3-2 loss to Patrick Mestrez snapping a two-bout winning streak. With the setback, Monteforte is now 4-10 on the season.
"We did not wrestle well tonight," Anderson head coach Dock Kelly said. "These regional matches are critical for seeding purposes, so we must be prepared both mentally and physically to compete. We look forward to traveling up to Tennessee and competing this weekend."
The Trojans continue their regional schedule as they head to King College on Saturday with the first bout slated to begin at 3 p.m.
