Recently a lot of people (including our own Appel) have been comparing the 1992 Dream Team to the current USA team, which is a dream team in itself. This article won't continue to hammer at that now worn out topic, but rather pose a new question about Olympic basketball. If last year's University of Kentucky basketball team replaced Team USA, where would they place?
Via sportsmisstress.com
With Olympic basketball shifting toward an era where players might have to be 23 or younger, this scenario is not too far-fetched. Obviously other schools would have a representation on the squad, but if Kentucky keeps having their entire starting five in the lottery, who knows.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, where would Kentucky place in this year's Olympics? I think the only team that is a guaranteed loss for Kentucky is Spain, as they have too much experience and enough talent and athleticism to compete with anyone in the world, let alone Kentucky. However, since the teams would be in different pools, Kentucky would not have to deal with Spain until later on if at all. In Pool A, I imagine Kentucky would lose to both Argentina and France, as they would have never played anyone with the skill of Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili, not too mention that both teams are fairly deep with NBA talent. Due to their experience, strength, and depth, Argentina and France should be able to handle UK, but it would not surprise me if there was an upset. Keep in mind that at least four of the starting five from Kentucky last year could easily average at least ten points per game, which is something neither France nor Argentina can claim.

As for Nigeria, Tunisia, and Lithuania, I think Kentucky would handle them all rather easily. We all saw the thumping that Team USA put on Tunisia, and when Anthony Davis played it was clear that he would have been the best player on their team too. The only NBA players on Nigeria are Al-Farouq Aminu (promising bench warmer for the Hornets) and formerly Ike Diogu. Quite frankly, Kentucky is far too talented for Nigeria to compete with, even though they have somewhat of a talent in Aminu. As for Lithuania, although this team has experience with each other and is familiar with the European game, their only NBA players is Linas Kleiza and soon to be Jonas Valanciunas, which once again means Kentucky has more talent than this team.
So heading into elimination games, I imagine the standing looking something like this: Group A: 1) France 2) Argentina 3) Kentucky 4) Lithuania Group B: 1) Spain 2) Russia 3) Brazil 4) Australia.
This would leave Kentucky in a showdown against Russia, as the three seed from Group A plays the two seed from Group B. At first site, Russia looks like an impossible matchup for Kentucky, but wait just one second. Anthony Davis would still probably be the best player on the floor (you may be thinking AK47, but would he make Team USA? Probably not). Russia's next best players are Alexey Shved, who was just signed by the Timberwolves and Timofey Mozgov, who is most famous for being dunked on by Blake Griffin. No other player on the team has played in the NBA for more than 5 years. Keep in mind that Kentucky had more size than most teams, with a front line of Anthony Davis, Terrance Jones, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who stand in respectively at 6'10, 6'9, and 6'7. Now in no way is this game a lock, but for fun, I'm saying Kentucky wins this game, putting them in the final four with Spain, Argentina, France, and Spain.
This would set up a matchup between Kentucky and Spain; a game in which Spain would teach the young Wildcats a few lessons about professional basketball. This would set up a rematch with either France or Argentina for the Bronze medal, and due to the implications of the big game, I see the Kentucky falling short, which would place them fourth in the Olympics. Placing as the fourth best team in the world is definitely an impressive mark, especially for a bunch of young college kids. Don't get me wrong, if my pool play predictions were correct Russia could take down Kentucky, which would place them at 5th/6th, but that is still an impressive mark since everyone valuable on Kentucky is born after 1990.
In case you completely disagree with me keep in mind the following things: 1) Kentucky already has great team chemistry. 2) They have enough size to compete. 3) Fatigue would not be a factor as games are only once every three days, far less consistent than the NCAA Tournament. 3) Anthony Davis would be the best player on the court in all but three games. 4) The "European Game" is suitable to Kentucky, as their bigs are mobile and the three-point line is no further than in college.
Let me know your thoughts, and congrats Kentucky Nation, you almost won a hypothetical medal.

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Bromley welcomes you to his Sanctum Sanctorum.
Editor's Note
Our review of Sanctum, published June 1st, 2011, is also available.
The Charge
The only way out is down.
Opening Statement
A 3-D movie about underwater exploration? James "Ghosts of the Abyss" Cameron must be all over this.
Facts of the Case
A team of divers set out to explore a series of caves deep beneath the ocean's surface in Papa New Guinea. There's Frank (Richard Roxburgh, Van Helsing), the most experienced diver and leader of the expedition; Josh (Rhys Wakefield, Broken Hill), his estranged son; wealthy Carl (Ioan Gruffudd, The TV Set), who is bankrolling the expedition; his girlfriend Victoria (Alice Parkinson, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and several other crew and assistants. As the crew begins to hit obstacle after obstacle on their dive, they wind up having to go further and further down until the possibility presents itself that they'll never make their way back to the surface. Things only get worse from there.
The Evidence
Don't be fooled by the presence of James Cameron's name attached to the 2011 diving thriller Sanctum. It's a bad movie that he had very little to do with, save for offering to slap his named on the advertising in an attempt to give it his "seal of approval"—especially valuable since when Sanctum played in theaters, in was mostly in the 3-D IMAX format. Cameron has had a little success in that area, and if the ads for Sanctum hinted in any way that it would recreate the experience of seeing Avatar, then Cameron had done his job.
Judging by the box office returns for the movie, though (it was unable to recoup even its relatively low $30 million budget, and that's with the inflated ticket prices for 3-D and IMAX), audiences were not fooled. With good reason, too, as Sanctum is a very bad movie, filled with flat acting, embarrassing dialogue and a plot that's right out of Vertical Limit. Remember Vertical Limit? Ever wonder what that would look like in underwater caves? You may be the audience for Sanctum.
Save for some nice underwater photography, there is nothing to recommend in Sanctum. The film is endlessly repetitive in its structure: once things are under way, the team encounters a new obstacle, something goes wrong, everyone shouts and usually one member doesn't make it to the other side. Repeat six or seven times, and you've (supposedly) got yourself a movie. Compounding the problem is the fact that pretty much every character is either a) unlikable b) stupid or c) all of the above. Time and again, characters make the exact wrong decision for no reason, despite having watched their friends and teammates die for doing the same thing (perhaps the most egregious is a character who risks hypothermia because she "won't wear the wetsuit of a dead woman!"). What, then, is the point of the film's basic "man vs. nature" theme? Nature does not render us powerless and insignificant, as Roxburgh's character is so fond of articulating in the movie's many heavy-handed speeches. Nature beats us not because we are small and fragile; it beats us because we are stupid and overly confident in our own mortality and ability to master the elements. Sanctum does not realize this, of course—it's me that's assigning that meaning to the movie.
The performances across the board range from barely-there to downright terrible, as though director Alistair Grierson simply collected a group of professional divers but amateur actors and made them act in his movie. I would even think that was the case if the cast exhibited any sense of confidence or authority when it comes to the diving stuff—pro divers would at least seem authentic in those moments. There isn't a scene in Sanctum that's convincingly acted. Richard Roxbrugh, whose tendency to overact has sank more than one movie, actually comes across the best—a silver lining that you should take in the spirit in which it's intended. Ioan Gruffudd is saddled with the movie's worst, most ridiculous role (the last 20 minutes of Sanctum might actually be crazily funny if they weren't so bad)—not that it matters. I believe the word is out on Mr. Gruffudd, and the word is that he's a bad actor. He's asked to do things in this movie that he's simply not up to, and it made me long for his work as Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four movies. Sure, he was awful in those, too, but at least there he was only screwing up a two-dimensional cartoon character. Here, he fails to be convincing as a human being.
The 2-D version of Sanctum arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Universal (it's also available in a 3-D version), and for a new release it's actually got some problems—most of which I suspect are as a result of the underwater photography and the fact that the movie was shot for 3-D. The image is very dark (it takes place underwater and in caves), which wouldn't be an issue except that the black levels are uneven and sometimes appear crushed. Colors are often drab, too, and the image looks rather flat a lot of the time—again, ironic given that it was shot for three dimensions and even the 2-D version should display more depth than what's here. It's not a terrible transfer overall—there are a lot of things to like about it—but it won't blow you away the same way that most new releases are able to. The 5.1 DTS-HD audio track is somewhat better, offering clear dialogue in the front channel and reserving the rear and surrounding speakers for some fairly immersive effects and the movie's haunting score (one of the only things about Sanctum I liked, even though it's hardly subtle). It's loud and bombastic when it needs to be, though, which helps interject a little life into the proceedings.
Director Alistair Grierson, star Rhys Wakefield and producer Andrew Wight (who also co-wrote the screenplay) sit down for a commentary track that's reasonably engaging, limited mostly to a production overview with a few anecdotes about the shoot. Only fans of the movie will want to give it a lesson. Better—and more succinct—is the 45-minute "making of" featurette that's been included, called "Sanctum: The Real Story." Though there is some overlap with the commentary, the doc gives a better overall view of the production and even goes a little into the real story that inspired the movie. Also included in the supplemental section is a group of forgettable deleted scenes and a 45-minute documentary, "Nullarbor Dreaming," which focuses on a cave diving expedition that Sanctum producer Andrew Wight was part of and the ways that it went wrong.
Closing Statement
I'm no great proponent of 3-D, and tend to avoid it if possible and if I don't suspect the movie depends upon it (meaning I'll make a point to see Tron: Legacy in 3-D but not Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides). Sanctum may be the kind of movie that was only worth seeing in 3-D IMAX, where the underwater landscapes could be impressive and immersive. At home—even on Blu-ray and with a big screen—you're forced to pay too much attention to the story, characters and dialogue. Sanctum doesn't get any of that right.

Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham hopes in a small way to put right the wrongs of his ancestors with deputy speaker job
08:45 16 October 2013
Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham hopes "in a small way" to put right the wrongs of his prime minister-killing ancestor by becoming deputy speaker.
The story of John Bellingham
Bankrupt and embittered businessman John Bellingham killed prime minister Spencer Perceval in the lobby of the Palace of Westminster on May 11, 1812, shooting him through the heart with a duelling pistol.
At his trial, just four days later, he pleaded not guilty to murder but was found guilty after 10 minutes.
The 35-year-old father of three, was hanged on May 18.
It was a sorry tale which led up to the events.
Bellingham, on a trip to Russia in 1803, was arrested over allegations of insurance fraud, following the sinking of a ship carrying some cargo he owned.
He sought help from the British authorities, but none came. He remained in a Russian jail for six years.
Eventually the charges were dropped but, in the meantime, he had become bankrupt.
Henry Bellingham is not sure precisely how they are related.
During a light-hearted lunchtime hustings between the seven candidates for the vacant deputy speaker role, the North-West Norfolk MP admitted the crime of John Bellingham – a bankrupt and embittered businessman who shot Spencer Perceval in 1812 – was an "appalling stain on his family's character".
But his genealogy does not seem to have had a detrimental impact on his campaign for the job, with his odds tumbling on him winning the secret ballot today.
He told an event for MPs and journalists that he would be a courteous speaker who would have his heart in helping backbench MPs.
Asked at the hustings about whether he wanted to distance himself from his ancestors, he said: "My family has had mixed fortunes over the years and I am very conscious that there is an appalling stain on my family's character,
"Maybe in this I can, in a small way, help put this right 200 years on."
There are suggestions that he is popular with the Labour Party – which will be crucial in today's vote – because his Etonion and Cambridge roots would make him a weaker candidate against deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle in a future speakership contest.
Mr Bellingham, speaking during the event organised by parliamentary communications and political information company Dods, would not be drawn on the assertion, saying that he was not even ruling out what he would do next week.
He is said to have won support during hustings with one Norfolk colleague saying that he had been very "witty" in private meetings with the Conservative 1922 committee and the Parliamentary Labour Party.
He has been building support for the role, which would involve chairing debates and running parliament, following the resignation last month of Nigel Evans, who is facing sex offence charges.
If the Norfolk MP were to become deputy speaker it would take away his right to a House of Commons vote. He has insisted that he would carry on as a backbencher, but said it would be in a "slightly different
role" as the "engine room" of parliament.
He is adamant that he would be there to fight for the constituency with extra access to ministers.

First, I know the difference between sub-domains and sub-directories, and the reasoning behind using both. This is not that question.
My question comes from the way that my host (he.net) treats multiple domain names on the same account. I have a site hosted at example1.com, stored in the public root directory of my shared hosting account. When I add an additional domain to my hosting account, example2.com, the host creates a sub-directory within the root, titled "www.example2.com" and sets their server to direct queries for the new domain to that sub-directory.
Now, I'd like to use a sub-domain network, and my hunch is that I can do this, regardless of the setup I've described above. In fact, I wonder if I could skip adding the domain to my hosting account (and bypassing their server re-direction to the "www.example2.com" subdirectory), and just add the domain using the domain mapping plugin.
Thoughts? Is there anything I'm missing?

Awesome Doctor
Only thing that I don't like is waiting to be seen by the Doctor. But that's the kind of Doctor he is . He don't rush his patients he hears what they have to say and acr on it.
He was quite rude
In this day and age when everyone is so self-centered and in a rush t get through the moment, I am ver grateful for a doctor like Dr. Yazdani. He is extremely patient with all of his patients and while they are numerous, he has way of making you feel as though you are the only patient he has. He has an inimitable bedside manner, with a great way of putting the patients mind at ease and allaying their fears. He is a great storyteller. Whenever I am hospitalized, he visits me everyday, gives me updates, test results and funny stories; which helps make my stay a lot easier. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Since Dr. Yazdani has hired new staff, his office functions in a much more professional manner. His office is not as crowded when I arrive and the wait time has been cut in half. Great office management!
This doctor is a good listener, is very caring, and is truly interested in his patients. His office staff are not dedicated to their jobs. They are pleasant, but nothing seems to get done. Forget about requesting/getting anything done over the telephone (script refills, referrals, etc.). It took 4 days to get a prescription refill and 3 weeks for a referral.

By Randy Murray, Fort Stewart Public AffairsDecember 17, 2009
FORT STEWART, Ga. -Nearly 350 Family Members, mostly children, bundled up against the cold night air for this year's Holiday Hayride at Corkan Family Recreation Center, Dec. 11.
Tractor-drawn wagons loaded with bales of hay carried wind-chilled passengers on a scenic tour of Christmas lights around Fort Stewart, but according to Corkan director Roni Stevens, all Corkan facilities were open with discount rates.
"We had people playing mini-golf, wall climbing, laser tag - everything," she said, acknowledging the cold weather probably affected the number of folks coming to the annual event, but said those hardy souls who did come braved the cold like it didn't bother them.
Christmas lights illuminated Cypress Creek Mini-Golf, Treehouse and the Rec Center, as well as Stewart Lanes. Inside the Rec Center, hot cocoa was available and in high demand. Outside, in one corner of the Stewart Lanes parking lot, kids gathered around an outdoor fireplace to roast marsh mallows. Phoenix Riesner, 4, didn't like the sweet, sponging treat, but he said he enjoyed "burning them" for his mom, Sarah Riesner, and sister, Madeline, 6.
As Families waited in line for the hayride to begin, Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees dressed as reindeer and bowling pin characters entertained children and adults. Cathy McRae, wife of Sgt. Maj. Robert McRae, FMWR, could not resist squeezing Rudolph's red nose.
With much anticipation by shivering guests, the event finally got underway at 6 p.m. with the fire truck arrival of Santa Claus, who walked down the line of screaming children, shaking hands and giving hugs.
With these preliminaries out of the way, the tractors moved forward, and parents helped their little Eskimos board the wagon and take a seat on the hay. Blankets were available from FMWR employees, which helped fend off the icy wind as their loaded wagon moved down Gulick Avenue to begin their Christmas light tour.
Hunter Army Airfield's Holiday Hayride was postponed due to severe weather. It was re-scheduled for this Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Hallstrom Lake Recreation Area from 5-8 p.m. Cost is $5 per Family for the hayride, but all FMWR facilities will be open at discount prices.

The Chinese have been using acupuncture for countless years to deal with any sort of concerns which appear in their lives, from stomach upset to giving birth. It is remarkable that this fine art has actually lasted this long, but the reality is that it must work given that it has! Read on to learn more about acupuncture.
You need to eat a healthy and balanced snack a couple of hours prior to your acupuncture treatment. You may really feel woozy if you have an empty stomach for your therapy. Don't have a big meal since lying down on your stomach could be extremely awkward. Talk with your acupuncturist if you are not sure what sort of healthy and balanced snack you must have.
It is important to tell your acupuncturist about the vitamins or medications you are taking before the beginning of your treatment. Some pills could influence your system and also combat the effects of an acupuncture session. You may have to stop taking your drug or vitamins for a while if you want to get good result from acupuncture.
If at first you don't do well with acupuncture therapies, keep trying! It's a known fact that it may take up to three or four visits to really feel the complete influence of expert acupuncture. Stopping prematurely could stop you from finding relief from your aches and pains.
It is always wise to make inquiries to the acupuncturists you have an interest in before scheduling a visit. You should ask if the acupuncturist is accredited. The only means to get a decent qualification is to gain a medical level certificate as well as do an acupuncture teaching fellowship.
The treatment needs to be arranged at a time of relaxation. Trying to go through acupuncture straight after a difficult or taxing event will make your treatment much less effective compared to normal. The most effective selection is to make your appointment at a time of day where the windows prior to as well as after treatment are reasonably tranquil. This will allow you to enjoy the complete advantages of treatment. One place you can currently go for reliable acupuncture treatment is Earlsfield Physiotherapy in London.
If this fine art of healing really did not work, it would have been changed over the centuries, however it hasn't. That is sufficient evidence that you should give it a try yourself to take care of any irritating problems you may have.

Captain D's: "Good Cheap Seafood" Leesville Restaurant Tip by jayshell00
Leesville Restaurants: 8 reviews and 8 photos
I know it sounds funny but to be honest there are not alot of dining choices in Leesville. And for the price you can't get better seafood especially since they started that new broiled menu. And of course The food is fast and they have a drive thru. I also find they have a really nice staff.
Favorite Dish: They have good popcorn shrimp and I only like fried clams made here. My husband likes the broiled sampler platter, and my son loves the chicken and fries. P>S> most dinners do not include drinks and check the paper for money saving offers.
Price Comparison: least expensive
Directions: HYW 171 near MCDonalds, and Taco Bell
Price: less than US$10
Rating: 4
Theme: Seafood

From a NJ magazine 11/2008, as a Thanksgiving recipe. The heat of the horseradish is tamed by roasting, and the vegetables take on a sweet and savory taste.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 large parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch coins
- 6 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch coins
- 1⁄2 cup prepared horseradish (jarred)
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Mix all of the ingredients together and spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes.

This one took longer to cook than 30 minutes for me. At 30 minutes the sauce was good but after I had to put them back in, it got a little bitter with the horseradish cooking longer. I think next time, I will roast the veggies for a while then add the butter and horseradish to keep the good flavors.

Christmas Comedy Party: Rhodri Rhys, Jimmy McGhie, Geoff Norcott, Charlie Baker
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Rhodri Rhys
Before becoming a comedian Rhod qualified as a Chartered Surveyor and became a property entrepreneur in Eastern Europe.
He's been the subject of a number of TV and radio programmes in Welsh, Czech and English (S4C, TV Nova, BBC Wales). He's also been asked to perform internationally with highlights being Warsaw, Moscow, New York, Budapest, Prague and Bahrain.
'His act combines sharp wit and observation with a natural geniality, his material is broad and colourful, drawing on his own experiences in his unusual path to a comedy career, while deftly seaming in religion, business, sport and history too' (Funhouse Comedy)
'Success, the audience love it, he's killing them (Prague Post)
'Fantastic MC, we won't be able to afford him next year (Chamber of Commerce, Prague)
'He's one act to watch for the future' (Time Out)
'Wales' most famous comedian' (WAK Radio, NY).
Rhodri Rhys tour dates
Jimmy McGhie
Jimmy McGhie is a highly regarded young stand-up and comic performer, appearing on the UK and international comedy circuit to great acclaim. A finalist in
the BBC New Talent competition, Jimmy is one of Britain's hottest comedy talents.
Having already built up a solid fan base, his 2009 and 2010 Edinburgh solo shows were complete sell-outs. Having appeared on Russell Howard's Good News, Jimmy's comedy stock is set to go into the stratosphere.
'A performance that demonstrates he meets all the requirements needed to
become a TV star' (British Comedy Guide)
'There are few comics I can think of who have the sheer star quality of Jimmy McGhie. He is the perfect little comedy package' (The Scotsman)
'Hilarious and lovable... A fantastic storyteller' (Three Weeks).
Jimmy McGhie tour dates
Geoff Norcott
He's half-comedian, half-rapper, half-impressionist. A high energy performer who presents a devastatingly accurate parody of the violently misogynistic attitudes that pervade the rap scene. He faithfully recreates the lyrics and arrogance of the genre, and uses his superb skills of mimicry to drive home the comedy.
'Master of anecdotal storytelling' (The Stage)
'Geoff Norcott is a comedian with a big future ahead of him' (Daily Mirror).
Geoff Norcott tour dates
Charlie Baker
Imagine if Jack Black, Frank Sinatra and Jethro had a son...
'Let's Dance for Comic Relief' winner Charlie Baker brings his incredible mix of jokes, song and dance to the stage. Charlie was a regular on the 2010 series of Richard Bacon's Beer and Pizza Club, starred in The Comedy Store, which aired in January 2011.
The Guardian has described the hyperactive funnyman as 'a superior take on the modern showman' and 'Devon's answer to Frank Sinatra'.

Earthquake-triggered landslides usually cause great disasters, and yet their dynamic mechanisms remain poorly understood. This paper will derive a general conceptual landslide model from the geometric and kinematic features of the most landslide masses triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Kinematic characteristics and dynamic processes are simulated here by means of finite element method (FEM) based on the dynamic process of the discontinuous deformable body. The calculated results presented the whole course of landslide motion, and displayed some typical kinematic characteristics such as initiation, sliding, ejection, collision, flying in the air, and climbing of landslides. The simulation result also shows that, under combined seismic inertial forces and gravity, landslides will start to slip once it overcomes the friction between the sliding mass and slip-bed, then it will move from slow to fast along the slippery bed until it ejects from the slip-bed. Moreover, the high frequencies and serious damages by landslides in the Wenchuan earthquake are caused by the strong ground motion on the mountain slopes in and around the epicenter that was dramatically amplified owing to both resonances produced by the seismic event and topographical amplification by seismic motion. In addition, the modeling results suggest that the direction, amplitude, frequency, and duration of strong ground motion have a great influence on the stability of landslide mass. Therefore, the study helps us better understand dynamic mechanism of landslides, seismic hazard assessment, and dynamic earthquake triggering.

I'm looking for a Linux CLI app that can accept a list of IP addresses and draw dots on the world map. All I want is to get an image file containing the world map and dots pointing to IP locations.
A webservice won't do it, because I might need to run this on computers that don't have permanent access to the Internet, so I need a standalone app. AFAIK there are freely downloadable GeoIP databases, so this shouldn't be a problem.
I'm posting here because I failed to find such an app by googling and I need advice from the community before eventually trying to write something like this myself.

Ruble Falls Sixth Day on Bank Rossii Purchase Bets, Europe Data
The ruble weakened for a sixth day amid speculation the central bank was buying foreign currency to stem its appreciation and after European data signaled slowing growth, curbing appetite for riskier assets.
The Russian currency lost 1 percent to 29.635 per dollar at the close in Moscow, the biggest daily drop since Feb. 10, and extended the longest streak of declines since December. The ruble slipped 0.2 percent to 38.87 per euro and retreated 0.6 percent to 33.7907 against the central bank's target dollar-euro basket.
Gross domestic product in the 17-nation euro area dropped 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter from the third, European Union figures showed today. Bank Rossii may be buying as much as $250 million a day to slow the ruble's 7.9 percent appreciation against the basket in 2012, according to Andrey Volkov, head of foreign exchange and money markets at ZAO Natixis Bank in Moscow.
"With the elections behind us, people are taking profits before the long weekend in Russia this week," he said by e-mail. "We've come dangerously close to the lower boundary of the basket where players expect more active participation of the central bank buying the basket and increasing the size of its interventions."
Russia's markets will be closed March 8 and 9 for a public holiday. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin won his bid to return to the Kremlin in the presidential election March 4.
Floating Corridor
Bank Rossii manages the ruble within a so-called "floating corridor" against a basket of dollars and euros to limit swings that erode exporters' competitiveness. A level of 33.50 to 33.70 against the basket indicated the bank may be buying $200 million to $250 million per day in other currencies against the ruble, Volkov said.
Russia's $2 billion of bonds due 2015 rose for the first time in three days, pushing the yield down three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.301 percent. The yield on dollar-denominated debt due the same year issued by OAO Sberbank, Russia's biggest lender, jumped 11 basis points to 3.563 percent, while the yield on similar-maturity notes from state gas monopoly OAO Gazprom fell three basis points to 3.363 percent.
"In credit, we recently increased our overweight on Russia due to elevated oil prices," Morgan Stanley analysts led by James Lord in London wrote in an e-mailed note to clients dated yesterday. "We tend to favour Gazprom's bonds to implement our bullish strategy in credit, in particular Gazprom 2019."
Real, Rupee, Yuan
Investors increased bets on the ruble depreciating, with non-deliverable forwards showing the currency at 29.9877 per dollar in three months, compared with expectations of 29.6838 per dollar yesterday. The Russian currency has appreciated 8.5 percent against the dollar in 2012, while Brazil's real rose 5.9 percent, India's rupee strengthened 5.3 percent and China's yuan lost 0.2 percent.
The cost of protecting Russian debt against non-payment for five years using credit-default swaps rose nine basis points to 192 basis points, down from last year's peak of 338 on Oct. 4, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.

Hey, I'm Michael!
Seattle, Washington, United States · Member since August 2010
Hi, I'm Michael. I have been living in this wonderful house for the past five years and love sharing it with airbnb guests! I own two yoga studios and a large event hall that is just a couple minutes from the house. I mostly work from home though I go to my studios Yogalilfe and hall Omculture very regularly.
I'm quiet and clean and share the upper floor with one great housemate. We all are part of a dance community that dances at OmCulture regularly. We are mostly vegetarian but I still like some chicken or fish now and again.
We have no pets but are very kid friendly. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional from USB 3.0 flashdrive, on a Thinkpad T61. The problem is, Thinkpads BIOS will not detect the flash drive as bootable medium, and won't allow to boot from it.
What I did:
Enabled USB BIOS Support in BIOS (it was on by default)
In startup menu, added USB HDD to boot order (it has '-' sign in front of it)
Created Windows 7 install media with UNetbootin, WinUSB (linux tool) dd and Grub4DOS.
As you can tell, currently, I only have access to Linux machine to make the flashdrive.
What happens:
The T61 BIOS shows '-USB HDD' in boot order menu. The '-' sign suggests that the plugged flash drive is currently not bootable. The same flashdrive (with the same Windows image on it) is booting without any problems on a Dell D430 and Lenovo Y550. Also, Ubuntu 12.04 install USB created with Unetbootin shows as bootable ('+' sign in BIOS boot order menu) and boots from the F12 boot menu.
Additional info
thinkwiki.org says that some Thinkpad BIOSes do not use MBR on flashdrives. It suggests using Extended-IPL boot loader, but the provided links are broken and there seems to be no mirrors.

"Libertarianism Has Won Over the Supreme Court Conservatives"
July 30, 2013
In this posting at CATO @ Liberty, Shapiro asserts that despite recent decisions from the Supreme Court, it is not becoming more libertarian per se, though there have been some libertarian decisions from the court. The federal government still retains massive regulatory powers.

In the fast-paced global economy, a corporation must be flexible and agile to meet the shifting needs of operating in an on demand environment. Aligning information technology (IT) systems using service-oriented architecture (SOA) to provide end-to-end enterprise integration and virtualized IT services is a critical step. To be truly effective, however, the SOA paradigm also needs to be extended to transmute organizational structures and behavioral practices. In this paper, we first explore the governance, economic, and enterprise challenges to SOA-based IT transformation. Next, we raise the need to redesign the existing organizational models, and we propose the Human Services Bus (HSB), a new organizational structure that optimizes the workforce and streamlines cross-unit processes to leverage the new IT systems. Finally, we discuss the cultural transformation that is required to support the HSB transition and induce the changes required in management and behavioral practices. The issues and insights at all three layers—IT systems, organizational structures, and cultural practices—are based on IBM's experience with adopting on demand methods.

Destiny Screens Roll Out of Gamescom
Written Thursday, August 22, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
The asset deluge continues into Gamescom 2013 day three, with a bunch of new screens for Destiny.
Bungie's cross-gen MMO shooter type thing is still looking pretty sexy, still wearing its Star Wars influences on its sleeve. We're excited about it and I'm gonna be honest it's mostly to do with the flowing capes and flappy jackets. Flappy jackets are where it's at.
Destiny is out in early 2014 on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

I used a mixture of flounder and surimi, mainly because that is what I had as dinner choices I didn't make yet. I definetly should have upped the amount of bread crumbs. The cakes kept falling apart while I cooked. But besides that, they taste awesome.
Good idea. I didn't follow the recipe exactly used it more as a springboard then added my own seasonings. It was a nice alternative recipe for fish (that thankfully didn't taste too fishy).
We really enjoyed these last night. I, too, had to use lemon instead of lime. I was sure I had gotten limes at the store, but they weren't there. I am going to make these again with the correct ingredient. Having said that, I would like to say that these went together very quickly and were done in no time at all. I used hokie as the fish and used your Green Goddess Sauce to accent the fish. Thnx for posting, Derf.

Protect your iPad with an impact resistant hard shell case featuring an extremely slim profile.
This is number 034 out of the 100 variations from my REVOLVERLUTION series in 2013. If it isn't exactly what you're looking for but close let me know as there are many variants and who knows one of them might be exactly what your heart desires. Also if there is one of the hundred that has not been sold/issued and you want it to truly be yours and unique we can make out arrangements to retire that version. I do charge a premium for that as I would no longer be able to profit from that piece.
