Gas, beer and cigarettes still dominate convenience store sales, but fresh items are making some surprising inroads.
Expectations are high that Walmart will accelerate expansion of its small format Express stores when 2014 capital expansion plans are announced this fall. If that's the case, the company will be entering a crowded landscape.
Sales in the convenience store industry advanced 2.7% during 2012, well below a prior year gain of 18.5%, as meaningful economic growth hampered results.
While Walmart continues to fine tune its small format Express concept, ample opportunity awaits in the C-store space.
The latest data from Nielsen shows the number of U.S. convenience stores continues to expand and last year set a new record with 149,220 units.

I fail to understand how do you expect it to work. You create an MCA
parameter called "rds_hostfile_path" and you expect it to get the
value specified on the command line by "--hostfile" ? Use "--mca
rds_hostfile_path $MOSHOME/4hosts" on your command line, and your
problem should be solved.
However, having a MCA parameter called rds_hostfile_path that belong
to the mosix rds is really confusing. In general, we try to follow
some strict rules when we define the names of the MCA parameters, and
these rules clearly state that the name of the component that will
use the MCA parameter is supposed to reflect in the name of the
parameter. rds_hostfile_path should therefore be named rds_mosix_path.

Awesome budget-friendly keyboardBought this keyboard 3 months ago, and so far no issues. Mainly I play more fps and tps games and found no ghosting..

OK keyboard, terrible packaging by Prasad Computers.It wasn't available on WS retail, so I had to get it from a different seller here, called Prasad Computers. They took 5 days to send it, and they just wrapped it in one of those thin plasticky anti-static-looking thingys, which was extremely flimsy and I'm surprised the keyboard survived the travel from Delhi to Kolkata. That said, the keyboard works OK. The keys are a BIT harder to actuate than normal keyboards, and the keys themselves are a little more far apart from each other. Not particularly helpful if you want something soft and within reach for fast typing. Also, the G-keys on the left… (Expand)

The Best (One of the) Gaming Keyboard One Can HaveThis is the one keyboard that I targeted long ago since my brother ordered one for him at the same price that I paid yesterday. But till last month the price was high, I can buy with that increased price but I waited to lower the price and when I saw it, after 10 sec(s) I ordered it and it came yesterday. So here is my review.

text: 8. The 4G Build-Out I wish I could be more bullish on tech, but way too much of it is still personal-computer-centric, and I don't think this will be the year of the PC -- nor next year, for that matter. However, it will be the year of the 4G build-out. Unfortunately, there are very few ways to play this beyond the continual theme of the towers -- American Tower ( AMT), Crown Castle ( CCI) and SBA Communications ( SBAC). Still, lately we've seen some optical plays do well, and I am encouraged by the continued growth of video. Two I am watching and willing to pounce on are JDS Uniphase ( JDSU) for fiber and fiber testing, and Akamai ( AKAM) for video on demand. Lots of people want to play the component companies for cell phones. Too hard for me. Learned that lesson. As for as the rest of tech? Sure, I suspect we will see money continue to come in to Facebook ( FB) and Google ( GOOG), but they are battlegrounds. Apple ( AAPL) remains a hold, and so does Amazon ( AMZN). I wish I could be more enthusiastic, but when you are, you get your head cut off for it. What I like about my themes is that they can be bought on weakness. However, the weakness that could bring down a company like Google or Apple or Amazon or Facebook is a type of weakness that has to be studied and examined, and is distinctly company-specific, and that's what I am trying to avoid by focusing on themes and not individual stocks.

Here's how it works:

I would say that the first is the standard usage and most correct.
The second is not wrong, but it sounds a bit colloquial to me.
The third is incorrect English. With people, you say "of Adele's" with a possessive 's. It means it's her song, rather than a song by her, if that makes sense.

|Cheddar cheese
|2 Ounce
|Imitation bacon bits
|2 Teaspoon
|Onion flakes
|2 Teaspoon
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|Ground red pepper
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|8 Teaspoon
|Plain low fat yogurt
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Dijon style mustard
|2 Tablespoon
|Chopped fresh parsley/Chives
|2 Tablespoon
|Grated parmesan cheese
|4 Teaspoon
In small mixing bowl combine flour, Cheddar cheese, bacon bits, onion flakes, salt, and pepper.
With pastry blender, or 2 knives used scissors-fashion, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal; add yogurt and mix thoroughly.
Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Between two sheets of wax paper roll dough, forming a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
Spread mustard over dough and sprinkle with parsley (or chives), then roll up jelly-roll fashion; wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until dough slices easily, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut rolled dough into 1/4-inch-thick pin-wheels; place on parchment-lined or nonstick baking sheet.
Sprinkle each pinwheel with an equal amount of Parmesan cheese and bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

This recipe is awesome! With the flavors in this recipe I didn't miss the sour cream at all. I did some substitutions; I used beef tenderloins and double the bouillion, tomato paste and Chardonnay. I also added some paprika and parsley. Thanks for a fabulous non dairy recipe. This hit the spot!
I'll admit, I was skeptical, but I work in a group home and one of the individuals can't have dairy, so I figured I'd give it a try. The sauce was so good I was compelled to scrape all of it off the bottom of the pan and hide in the kitchen while I scarfed it down.
This was great. There are a few changes I would make however (or at least clarifications). When you saute mushrooms, do not do it for more than 2 minutes to keep them crisp, or they become soggy and gross (also add in 1 Tbsp wine to give them more flavor). Onions/garlic should be sauteed for no more than 5 minutes. We used 1/2 of a sweet onion, and 4 cloves of garlic. Also make sure to tenderize the meat before hand, so that it can soak up all of the flavor, and the muscles are not as chewy. I used Smart Balance instead of Margarine (as Marg. is 1 molecule away from plastic and caused cancer in test turkeys). For the spices, we did: 1-4 grinds of black pepper, 1-2 Tbsp 21 Season Salute (from Trader Joes), 1 pinch Paprika, 1 pinch Chili Powder, 3 pinch Italian Seasoning, 3 pinch Hickory Mesquite Seasoning (from Costco)

WASHINGTON (November 5, 2013) A measure of U.S. home prices rose only slightly in September from August, a sign that prices are leveling off after big gains earlier this year, real estate provider CoreLogic said Tuesday.
CoreLogic said home prices increased 0.2 percent in September from the previous month, sharply lower than the 0.9 percent month-over-month gain in August and the 1.8 percent increase in July.
Prices still rose 12 percent in September compared with a year ago.
Higher mortgage rates and prices slowed home sales in September, and as a result, price gains have cooled off.
Mortgage rates are still very low, and the average rate on a 30-year fixed loan has fallen to 4.1 percent in the past month, down from a two-year high of nearly 4.6 percent over the summer.

We formulate the resource allocation problem for the uplink in code division multiple access (CDMA) networks using a game theoretic framework, propose an efficient and distributed algorithm for a joint rate and power allocation, and show that the proposed algorithm converges to the unique Nash equilibrium (NE) of the game. Our choice for the utility function enables each user to adapt its transmit power and throughput to its channel. Due to users' selfish behavior, the output of the game (its NE) may not be a desirable one. To avoid such cases, we use pricing to control each user's behavior, and analytically show that similar to the no-pricing case, our pricing-based algorithm converges to the unique NE of the game, at which, each user achieves its target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). We also extend our distributed resource allocation scheme to multi-cell environments for base station assignment. Simulation results confirm that our algorithm is computationally efficient and its signalling overhead is low. In particular, we will show that in addition to its ability to attain the required QoS of users, our scheme achieves better fairness in allocating resources and can significantly reduce transmit power as compared to existing schemes.

Sixt Says BMW Car-Sharing Profitable in Most Communities
Sixt SE, Germany's biggest auto-rental company, said its car-sharing venture with Bayerische Motoren Werke AG is profitable in cities where it's been operating for more than a year as sign-ups exceed forecasts.
"We've been surprised about the explosion of new subscriptions, which has helped boost revenue," Erich Sixt, chief executive officer of the Pullach-based company, said today on a conference call with reporters.
BMW, the world's biggest luxury-auto manufacturer, and Sixt operate the DriveNow service in the German cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Dusseldorf, as well as in San Francisco. The venture is targeted at attracting young consumers to the Munich-based premium automaker before they consider buying a vehicle as they grow older and have families.
The partners are in talks on the terms of expanding DriveNow under a five-year plan to reach 25 cities in Europe and the U.S., Erich Sixt said.
Even with the profitable locations, Sixt still expects a "small-to-medium, single-digit" million-euro loss for DriveNow this year as startup costs in new areas outweigh revenue gains, Chief Financial Officer Julian zu Putlitz said on the call.
Membership has gained to more than 300,000 customers from 215,000 at the end of last year, Sixt today in a statement.
"We didn't expect such a dramatic rise in membership," Sixt said.
DriveNow allows customers to rent vehicles by the minute for point-to-point trips, and to leave the car parked on city streets when they're finished. The fleet includes models from BMW's Mini small-car brand plus the 1-Series compact and X1 sport-utility vehicle from the namesake marque.
The program's main competitor is the Car2Go service from Stuttgart, Germany-based Daimler AG that offers Smart-brand two-seat autos by the minute in about two dozen cities.
Sixt's second-quarter net income jumped 12 percent to 28.3 million euros ($37.7 million) as sales rose 7.6 percent to 441 million euros, the company also said today.

I have 2 external hard drives. Both are 2 TB and I connect them with Firewire 800.
I boot Windows 7 in Boot Camp on MacBook Pro so I have 2 partitions on my hard drive. One is my Windows partition which is C:, and the other is my Macintosh partition which is supposed to be D:.
But whenever I boot in Windows 7 with my 2 external hard drives plugged in, one of the external hard drive's partition takes up the D: letter no matter how many times I go to Disk Management and change my Mac partition back to D:.
I don't really care what letters my external hard drives are. But I really want my Mac partition to always be D:, otherwise a lot of my shortcuts won't work.
EDIT: For now I just changed my Mac drive to B. It took a while to fix all the shortcuts but now whenever an external drive gets plugged in, it gets assigned from C and later.

I remember seeing a movie when I was younger, but can't find it online because I can't remember a whole lot about the story. What I do remember is there was a group of soldiers trying to catch this castle that appeared only during the day and at the start of each new day it would teleport to a new random location. I also remember the main character having this neat little flying blade disk that reminds me of something from the Predator movies that he could control with his mind. Again I can't recall a lot about the movie, but if it sounds familiar I would be grateful. Also it seems like at one point there were horses that ran so fast they caught fire!
The movie you are looking for is Krull.
As you have already indicated by accepting Donald.McLean's answer, the movie you were looking for is Krull, a British-American fantasy/science fiction movie from 1983. Liam Neeson plays a minor role.
The bad guys travel the galaxy in a mountain-like spaceship called The Black Fortress, which teleports to a new location every sunrise. The heroes ride Fire Mares, horses so fast they leave a trail of flames in an attempt to catch up with it.
The 'neat flying blade disk' is called a (or perhaps 'the') Glaive and can be seen on what appears to be the DVD cover.

The city of Abbeville is finally getting back some much needed FEMA money.
Back in March and December of 2009, flooding severely damaged roads in the city.
Lack of FEMA money forced city officials to take 10-percent of their budget to fix the roads, and take out a loan.
Last week, Congress approved FEMA funding.
In the next two weeks officials with Abbeville will be receiving a little more than $70,000 dollars.
The funds will go towards the loan taken out at Peoples South Bank.

I have a MVC4 application that uses a sql server for data. I also have the simple membership provider and it's tables are stored in the same database and both use the same connection string:
<connectionStrings><add name="bazaConnectionString" connectionString="DataSource=WINSERVER;Initial Catalog=baza;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=visualstudio;Password=xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
When I test the application in visual studio everything works normally, but when I published the project and attached it to IIS8 webserver(on same computer as the sql server) the simple membership doesn't work.
First I thought there was something wrong with the connection string but other functions from the application that use it work normally. But as soon as I click on something that uses the membership like Login it gives an error:
- WinException 0x80004005 File not found SqlException 0x80131904
- Network related or instance-specific error
Can anyone help me with this, otherwise I guess I will have to write my own user authorisation logic into every controller.
Update: After trying a few things it seems the problem is with the [Authorize] attribute and the accountController that visual studio generates. Because if I call WebSecurity methods, like Login, anywhere else it works.

Skip to comments.Holder Shakes Down 'Racist' Banks For Nearly $1 Bil
Posted on 01/15/2014 5:19:47 PM PST by jazusamo
War On Banks: Attorney General Eric Holder has opened up a new front against car lenders and has forged an alliance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to frame them for racism, too.
We don't use the term "frame" capriciously, certainly not like Holder uses the charge of racism.
His department and the president's new consumer credit watchdog agency, CFPB, have announced a new settlement with Ally Bank for nearly $100 million.
It's the largest fair lending deal against the auto industry and the third-largest ever to resolve charges of lending discrimination.
Throw in four new mortgage-lender settlements over equally groundless allegations including last month's $35 million joint Justice Department-CFPB hit on Cleveland-based National City Bank and the total financial industry shakedown by this administration now stands at an eye-popping $810 million.
In its complaint against Ally, Justice alleged that the bank "charged African-American borrowers more than white borrowers in interest-rate markups not based on creditworthiness or other objective criteria related to borrower risk."
It says a statistical analysis of loans conducted by CFPB researchers found a "disparity" of 29 basis points compared with rates charged "similarly situated" white borrowers.
The surcharge is so "statistically significant," it contends, it can't be a function of anything but racism.
Let's unpack that statement, because it contains a big load of rubbish.
For starters, Justice had to guess the race of Ally's black customers from Census data for black neighborhoods. The auto-finance industry does not report the race of borrowers like the mortgage industry.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.investors.com ...
The 0bama/Holder Injustice Department is a criminal enterprise.
Holder, President Jarrett, and junior senator 0baMao were way behind the curve.
Now SHowing
Eric Holder starring in Guesswork Orange!
Makes one wonder who's the bigger shake-down artist: The Reverend Jackson or Holder. Which one is the bigger racist?
With this administration, that is all that is needed.
Sounds like he's setting up Protection Racket.
Possibly had to do with credit rating, and perhaps jobs?? Maybe lending companys didn't trust ebt payments,
Don't give blacks loans because they have crappy credit ratings and you are sued for being racists. Give blacks with crappy credit scores loans that they have no hope or intention of paying back and you are racist.
It would difficult if not impossible to finger the bigger shake-down artist between the two of them, they both should be in the slammer.
More money for The 0bama/Holder Retirement Fund
I'd like to know where this money goes - is there an entity that tracks that?
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
--Ben Franklin's Poor Richard, although I doubt he anticipated this situation.
"War On Banks: Attorney General Eric Holder has opened up a new front against car lenders and has forged an alliance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to frame them for racism, too."
CFPB one of the latest creations of the SOCIALISTS/TOTALITARIANS. Unaccountable bureaucrats (Federal Reserve) of the socialists, for the socialists, by the socialists.
Socialism IS Legal Plunder - Bastiat
DEFUND/DISMANTLE domestic SOCIALIST/TOTALITARIAN collectives.
"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."
(Listen Americans), it's easy to live - free - republic
It's a closed system. Any money that leaves the banks in the morning returns by nightfall.
I hear you, I believe we used to have IG's that did that before 0bama started firing them for doing their job.
Just when you think these clowns really are trying to start a race war the ol' profit motive rears its ugly head.
It's ALWAYS "settlements" because the banks know that the Holder/Obama Department of Injustice has vast sums to spend to wear down the banks. I guess $100 million is less than the bank figured it would spend between legal fees and lost "good will" following an endless stream of lies and false denunciations from the Regime.
So pay the "shake down" and get back to business.
It was Shakespeare in Hamlet who said that.
Polonius in Hamlet.
I did good remembering Hamlet from my H.S. days in the late 70s.
Maybe that bunch can hire Jesse Jackson to teach them how to get it done.
Never heard that one but I like it.
Thank you.
At the consumer level we see "changed lending poilcies". As for the actual settlement money.....?
Shaking down banks? Who does he think he is, Chris Dodd?
Sounds more like a kickback/money laundering scheme, to benefit Fedgov employees and Dem politicians who love them.
LOL! Chris Dodd and Eric holder = SLIPPERY.
Yes, Ally is the old GMAC and it could be exactly that.
As long as there is a Leftist, a Democrat in Government nobody is safe.
""Neither a borrower nor a lender be." "
That was Polonius's advice to Laertes.
Pointed out to me by poster Blood of Tyrants.
My mistake.
29 basis points translates to .29% interest. So instead of a 4.00% rate the rate is 4.29%. Big deal.
You 50 IQ black morons have no idea of the storm coming at you. You will be accommodated to your stupid black heritage and sent back to your African roots at the dark continent. You've had 150 years of chances to meld with American society, you dopes, and failed.
Too bad Jesse Jackson couldn't copyright an extortion technique.
We all be pickin' dey cotton now.
So the kakistocrats are now shaking down the banksters?
There, fixed it.
Ally Bank used to be GMAC. The Government got their money when they took over GMAC. So don't understand what they are talking about.
Ally Bank used to be GMAC. The Government got their money when they took over GMAC. So don't understand what they are talking about.
That's a great point (no pun intended).
On a $15,000 loan that would only make a difference of $3.60 a month on the payment.
Yep, in the GM bailout Ally took over GMAC and taxpayer funds went to Ally. Looks like Holder and 0bama want some of that money back for their retirement and current vacations and travel.
Absolutely, there got to be such an entity. You don't just lose $100M somewhere under cushions. Monies that are not allocated by the Congress are very handy in a slush fund. You can run many almost lawful programs on that money.
But if you are asking if there is a publicly accountable entity that will tell all about that income to any US citizen... US Congressional committees were unable to get the truth out of this "most transparent" administration.
Banks are in the business of making profits. They do not give a damn if you are white, black, brown, yellow or covered in pink polka dots. The only thing they are concerned with is can you make the payment on the loan.
This is just a "shake down, by the "Department of Injustice."
If I owned a bank and my employees denied a credit worthy loan on the basis of color, I would fire them immediately. I would fire them for two reasons. Firstly, that would be illegal. Secondly, if they denied a credit worthy individual a loan based on color they have just cost my bank profit on the credit worthy loan and a a result have lowered my bonus based on profits of the bank.
The only color that banks know is the color of green dollar bills. They do not care who brings it to them
Well said, and it's definitely a shakedown.
Right now jesse jerkson is jumping up and down screaming that blankity blank stole my gig
Never a borrower nor a lender be...
Do not forget..
Stay out of debt.

US robs $13B from venerable bank / By Mark DeCambre, Oct 19, 2013
JPMorgan Chase has tentatively agreed to pay (Holder's) Dept of Justice a record $13 billion settlement to resolve several civil probes a costly deal that still doesnt protect the bank against additional criminal prosecutions.
This is a basic and fundamental attack on capitalism, declared Dick Bove, an influential bank analyst at Rafferty Capital. It is possible that the government is taking away the property of the JPMorgan shareholders without the shareholders having committed any crime or having any say in the expropriation of these funds. The deal also includes an undisclosed sum to settle a civil suit brought by NY state AG.
Under the settlement, JPMorgan must continue to cooperate with federal investigators probing the banking giants issuance of mortgage-backed securities from 2005 to 2007, according to sources.
Still to be ironed out are how to resolve that criminal investigation, along with the wording of any admissions of culpability the feds might require.
The general terms of the settlement deal were forged Friday in a phone conversation between Attorney General Eric Holder and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, The WSJ reported.
Analysts called the settlement a raw deal given that, by JPMorgans own estimate, some 80 percent of its mortgage-backed securities had been acquired at the request of the Obama-led government, when it bought Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual in 2008. Ultimately, the earnings power of banks is being force-regulated out the (SEC), by the Department of Justice, Kass added.
The settlement sum includes $4 billion that JPMorgan agreed this month to pay the Federal Housing Finance Agency to resolve allegations that the bank misled mortgage-finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about the quality of loans it sold them prior to the 2008 financial crisis, the Journal reported.

More below.
Where are Dimon's lawyers? Why aren't they looking into mtges falsified from the getgo.
OBO/HOLDER COVER-UP for massive mtge fraud perpetrated by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (O's gotta show "he cares" ---b/c he's paranoid about getting latino votes) to stay in power.
The Congressional Hispanic Institute, Inc, is an entity organized by Cong Joe Baca (D-Cali) in his capacity as head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Cong Baca created "HOGAR" (Spanish for home) in 2003 to work with the mortgage industry, F/M, lenders, banks and latino community groups to increase mortgage lending to what savvy observers consider to be unqualified Latinos.
"HOGAR" colluded w/ Cong Baca in what was to become a massive bilking of taxpayers. Cong Baca calculatedly hyped the fact that the national Latino homeownership rate was 47%, compared with 68% for the overall population.
HOGAR was coached to call the figure "alarming," and to say "a concerted effort was required to ensure that by the end of the decade Latinos will share equally in the American Dream of home ownership."
HOGAR and Cong Baca conned the public, failing to note that most of the "dreamers" were illegals, citizens of Third World countries who had violated US borders.
Predictably, HOGAR colluded w/ co-conspirators which included:
(a) shaky mortgage companies that ran into big trouble;
(b) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both now under federal control after billions in taxpayer bailouts;
(c) Countrywide Financial Corp., sold to Bank of America Corp;
(d) Washington Mutual Inc., taken over by the US government and sold to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.; and,
(e) New Century Financial Corp. and Ameriquest Mortgage Corp, both now defunct, killed by defaulted subprime Latino mortgages.
HOGAR's ties to the subprime mortgage industry were substantial. Bribery and self-dealing were rampant:
<><> Companies that donated $150,000 to Cong Baca got the right to have their own research fellow who would conduct fraudulent studies, which were cunningly used by industry lobbyists to pump lending.
<><> Bribery and extortion in the form of $100,000 annual donations to Cong Baca, for which HOGAR provided phony news releases from Cong Baca's Hispanic Caucus promoting a lender's commercial products to the Latino market,
<><> The most shocking example of bribery well- substantitated by Hogar's literature..... HOGAR announced it worked with Freddie Mac on a self-serving two-year examination of Latino homeownership in 63 congressional districts.
The "study" found Hispanic ownership on the rise thanks to "new flexible mortgage loan products" that the industry was adopting at the urging of Cong Baca's collusive coterie.
<><> HOGAR conned lenders into even more lenient down-payment and underwriting standards.
<><> As the subprime debacle unfolded, HOGAR declined repeated requests for comment despite the economic havoc their activities precipitated.
The mortgage schemes demonstrated the criminal activities of border violators with multiple identities---perhaps violent, terrorist-connected foreigners---colluding and conspiring to defraud private companies and public entities. And mortgage racketeering enterprises which employed sub rosa finance and business practices to carry out deceptions and frauds.
The alleged ring of swindlers---a Congresman, individuals with multiple identities, banks, insurance companies, mortgage brokers--might be charged with cheating the US govt, taxpayers and bank share holders out of hundreds of millions of dollars via an elaborate web of mortgage and bank frauds.
The mortgage Dreamers used multiple phony identities, fraudulent Social Security numbers, purchased from identity forgers in order to obtain govt-subsidized benefits.
L/E will find that individuals with multiple identities obtained fraudulent mortgages then flipped the houses at ever-higher prices to family member who then absconded to foreign countries, sticking banks (and taxpayers) with hundreds of millions in fraudulent mortgages.
BACKGROUND A Wall Street Journal investigative report related that, according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council examination of the borrowing spree, uncovered financial schemes by low-income housing groups, Hispanic lawmakers, a congressional Hispanic housing initiative, mortgage lenders and brokers, all colluding in fraduent schemes to increase homeownership among Latinos with forged documents which enabled massive fraud.
This was not simply the mortgage market at work. It was fueled by avarice, greed, and Congressional enabling fraudulent /practices. In 2005 alone, mortgages to Hispanics jumped by 29%; Latinos with multiple fraudulent identities in low-paying jobs obtained subprime mortgages for prime properties---soaring to 169%.

Comes a time when you simply realize no matter what, you will be branded a racist.
Then you stop playing.
No cooperation; no payments; all moneys hidden; big MIDDLE FINGER to Eric Holder. Might as well go out of business rather than lose money. Expat that cash and start the same biz in another country.
**** these racist bastards at the DOJ.

Novartis Says Experimental Drug Quells Gout Attacks, Pain
Novartis AG said that an experimental antibody relieved pain and stopped new attacks of gout better than a steroid injection in two advanced studies.
The company reported results from clinical trials on more than 450 patients who didn't benefit from medicines like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or couldn't take them, Basel, Switzerland-based Novartis said in an e-mailed statement today.
Novartis has asked regulators in the European Union, the U.S., Canada and Switzerland to clear the drug, known as ACZ885, for gout sufferers with few treatment options. The medicine is approved in more than 45 countries for a rare disorder called Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes, or CAPS. Andrew Weiss, an analyst with Bank Vontobel AG in Zurich, estimates gout sales may reach $700 million a year.
The product represents the first test of a broader Novartis strategy to "develop a drug in a small indication and then expand it usage into larger therapeutic areas," Weiss said in a note to clients today. He recommends buying Novartis stock.
The drug may be approved in the U.S. by September for gout, Trevor Mundel, Novartis's head of drug development, said in a telephone interview today. It may garner more than $1 billion in peak sales with indications for CAPS, gout and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, according to Mundel.
The drug improved pain scores by 25 percent to 30 percent and cut the risk of additional gout attacks by 55 percent to 68 percent compared with a steroid called triamcinolone actinide in the studies, according to the statement.
Gout, also known as gouty arthritis, affects about 6.1 million Americans, according to the Arthritis Foundation. Attacks are triggered by high levels of uric acid in the blood, which lead crystals to form in the fluid between joints, causing swelling and inflammation.

Snow on that december day, fancy tree in the Four Seasons courtyard
Seaweed butter
Accras de crevettes et calamar -- even lighter and better than in my Les Elysées memories
Amuses -- mushroom-filled soufflé/brioche, marinated mushrooms, pumpkin/sorrel soup. I found the little brioche until I tried to squeeze it on my palate with my tongue. Try.
Amuse of sardine --top quality-- and fruits. The whole thing I found hard to balance.
Minestrone aux langoustines, palette de Bellota, parmesan, crème de Parmesan
Quasi de veau rôti, gratin de macaronis au vieux comté
"Légumes d'un jardin d'Ille-de-France"
With their toasts
Légumes d'un jardin d'Ile de France, on gelée
This ormeau with granny smith/wasabi mousse under, sorrel sauce on top
Ormeau on Japanese squash
Perfect cooking of ormeau. I say ormeau rather than abalone because they're wild, very chewy, not even beaten to make them tender. I love those very meaty shellfishes, but they're not to everyone's taste.
Speaking of which, they can be eaten raw too, mixed with raw scallops and seaweed. Sweet and iodized tastes explodes when you crunch these finely chopped cubes (the big ones are scallops, the smaller ones ormeaux)
Climax of the ormeau dish, this hen stock heavily gingered flavour with bits of ormeau inside. This is delicious at first, but then it is pure witchcraft: once you've eaten some of the ormeau, the taste of the stock changes fundamentally. Wow.
Mousse de laitue, araignée de mer, écume aux algues. Avec des amandes crues et entières dedans aussi.
Chair de tourteau, pétales de Daikon marinés au miel, vinaigrette à la truffe (invisible on the side: gelée de crustacés et de vin jaune, crème de fenouil, in a cocktail glass)
The new version. Forgot to ask what it was.
There is again a sophisticated interaction between the crab dish and this gelée de vin jaune served on the side, with a lobster cream on top, even a lobster claw sometimes. The way each one tastes is changed by eating the other before.
Pigeonneau -- pitch perfect, wonderful
Foie gras au poivre de Sawarmak, figue -- a game on textures with a textbook perfect foie gras, and also a good pairing with an Aleatico Passito, domaine Di San Marzano. As with the lamb coming next, Briffard's jus are the sign of a truly great chef. I can count on the fingers of one hand the chef I met you serve such wonderful juices.
L'épeaule d'agneau de Lozère. Jus d'agneau that is a proof that God exists. Watermelon and fresh almond in the corner.
Some lamb sidedishes
Lamb side vegetables
Foie gras grillé, anguille fumée croustillante, lentilles, crème de lentilles, noix
An extraordinary alliance of tastes and textures. And after all, just a lentil soup...
Epaule de lièvre confite, chanterelles, ravioles de foie gras, lardons sur le dessus
Quasi de veau et blanquette de joue de veau
Ris de veau à la réglisse et aux marrons, blanquette de joue de veau, on a special plate. With some black disgusting stuff on top of it.
Blanquette de joue de veau, détail
Pithiviers de gibier à plume
Caillé de brebis au poivre sawarmak, huile d'olive des Baux de Provence à la vanille, agrume confit
Assiette de sorbet. Just perfect. The strawberries, Briffard told us, are nothing like they were two weeks ago.
Mousse au chocolat (naaah, just kidding) -- pre-dessert before that was a crême brulée, pomme au four, granité de pomme.
Le baba au rhum
Succès de noisette du Piémont: hazelnut, nougatine, meringue, vanilla ice cream and cream
La galette des rois
la fève
Sorrel brioche, marinated mushrooms and raisins, pumpkin soup
This is Le Cinq, now, not les Elysées anymore. In the Four Seasons hotel -- extreme luxury.
Le pithiviers de canard col vert et grouse au miel, légumes et fruits d'automne, jus pressé à l'Armagnac. Avec un Chateauneuf du pape 2005 de Charvin.
Granité de litchee
April 09: an excellent meal with a distinct return to Briffard's basics. The most interesting thing is that the meal was great without Briffard in the house, suggesting that maybe he got a new souschef or anyway got that kitchen to work well
This foie gras cru is reminiscent of the tranche d'aubergine potagère -- it's a glorious salad of vegetable and fruits with raw foie gras as seasoning. A typical Briffard dish in that a simple unity is created with a ridiculously high number of ingredients
The whiting was a sidekick in this wonderful dish of fava beans, here on spinach and potatoes cooked in seaweed butter, and in the background in an extraordinary gelée
Seriously: feuilleté de pigonneau. This dish should come with a warning, something like "not for pussies" or "caution, course is intense"
One that is NOT getting better is the pastry chef, still serving pointless academic oversugared desserts like this "gaufrette de muscovado". I'll get cheese next time.
Blinis, eel, horseradish
Razor clams cooked in seaweed butter, ginger, young spinach
Chair de tourteau marinée
Gelée de vin jaune, caviar (side of crab)
Langoustine, from the marinière de coquillages aux Fettucine
Coquille Saint Jacques, choufleur, endives caramélisées au jus d'orange
Cervelle de veau, légumes
Tête de veau, oeuf frit, sauce tortue
Pithivier de gibier à plumes, jus pressé à l'armagnac, fruits d'automne
Tarte Tatin
Fried smelts, tempura-style. Wonderfully crisp and fresh -- still moist inside, quite addictive
Bordier's seaweed butter
Amuses -- can't remember in detail, but extremely awesome -- a fried ricotta ravioli, a brilliant green pea soup, and a delicious octopus
Razor clams
Fresh salmon, mostarda di cremona, granny/wasabi
Asparagus, truffle, gnocchi
Asparagus, caviar, Matcha tea sheep cheese sorbet
The truffle tourt is overthere in the distance
Truffle tourt: cabbage, foie gras, truffle, in brilliant puff pastry, with veggies and lettuce. As often with Briffard's truffle, it's delicious but underwhelming, the truffle being not very present in itself, but mostly a way to make vegetables taste better but not different
Cote de veau de corrèze. Perfect cooking of very good veal, and as usual a perfect and intense juice (not on the picture). Correze veal has more character than your usual milk-fed calf, and it has a rougher texture than the silky Aubrac can have.
This one was life-changing: Poularde de bresse au pot, sauce truffe. God knows I've been looking for perfect (chicken) breast in my life, but this was it: melty, not a hint of dryness
There's a second serving of the thigh in a strong broth --- good but less remarkable (no pic, sometimes I just eat)
The lovely lamb shoulder -- always works, but probably not much of a fine dining course
They haven't changed the pastry chef yet. Now he has choco rice crispies in his rice pudding... Desserts title look good, but they still suck. Please join the group "I'm not ordering desserts at Le Cinq as long as Briffard doesn't have a say in pastry"

To be able to auto post this article every 7, 10 or 30 days rather than specifying a date would be really useful for me and I'm sure a lot of others.

I'd like to suggest an improvement to the
relevanssi_post_ok. Right now, only the result of the last filter in the chain is returned, so previous filters (including Relevanssi's own
relevanssi_default_post_ok) aren't taken into account. So, it'd be good if the result of a previous function were passed along to the next one, and each one AND'ed it with whatever specific calculation it did internally, returning the result. This way, each individual functions can be smaller, not needing to deal with whether the post status is published or not, since Relevanssi's
relevanssi_default_post_ok already does that, with only posts that pass all the different tests being shown. Additionally, if someone do want to fully control them all, he can easily set a filter with priority 99 or similar and just ignore the previous passed values.
Below is the list of changes needed for this to work. Sorry if the number lines aren't quite correct. I did lots of minor edits so they might have slightly changed places:
a) Line 55, from:
add_filter('relevanssi_post_ok', 'relevanssi_default_post_ok');
add_filter('relevanssi_post_ok', 'relevanssi_default_post_ok',10,2);
b) Line 1341, from:
$post_ok = apply_filters('relevanssi_post_ok', $doc);
$post_ok = apply_filters('relevanssi_post_ok', $post_ok, $doc);
c) Line 1368, from:
function relevanssi_default_post_ok($doc) {
function relevanssi_default_post_ok($previous_status, $doc) {
d) Line 1401, from:
return $post_ok;
return ($post_ok && $previous_status);

The Visual Studio Team System session at TechEd·2004 was a great success. The team did a great job of working through an end-to-end scenario that showed all the new tools working together on a realistic application development. The scenario was based around a fictional eCommerce site that was about to be extended with some new features. It involved an Infrastructure Architect who used the (Whitehorse) tool that modeled the logical data center configuration. He added a new type of server that would host a Web service which could communicate with a new trading partner. Then the Solution Architect used the (Whitehorse) Application Connection Designer (this is the designer I called the Service Designer in previous postings!) to add some new Web services that would support the partner trading and other new features.
Enter the developer who fleshed out the new services, generated and ran tests using the Test Case features, checked code coverage for problems and ran the FxCop static analysis tool to look for security and other problems.
Once he was done, the Tester ran load tests using the profiler feature. The Tester identified a potential performance issue and passed the project back to the Developer. The Developer then added instrumentation to his code, tracked the problem down using the various counters and fixed the code.
All this activity was being monitored by the Project Manager, who had initially created the project tasks, and was tracking the work completed along the way using Microsoft Project, Excel and some reporting capabilities supported by a project data warehouse fronted by a SharePoint Portal.
The audience seemed to be really impressed. Events that got a special reaction included:
There was a lot of excitement from attendees I spoke to afterwards. There's also been a lot of blogging activity after the session. This one even contains some photos of slides in the presentation, one of which shows the VSTS product architecture!

Manufacturing, China trade deficits hit all-time highs
Friday, February 08, 2013
Manufacturing trade also reached an all-time record deficit in 2012, reaching $684.5 billion, up nearly 7 percent from the previous year.
"Today's data show that the major reindustrialization so urgently needed by the U.S. economy will require major policy changes, especially on the trade front, not the wishful inshoring thinking emanating from the White House," said Alan Tonelson, senior research fellow with the U.S. Business and Industry Council, in a statement about the trade figures.
The new figures, Mr. Tonelson said, "make clear that the U.S. economy remains stuck in the dangerous trap of relying on spending, borrowing, deficits and debt creation to produce any significant growth or job creation."

SANTIAGO, Chile (November 1, 2013) Portions of earthquake-prone Chile have been rocked by a 6.6-magnitude tremor that caused buildings to sway in the capital and sent some people running into the streets.
Emergency officials in Santiago said there were no reports of damage to infrastructure.
The quake's epicenter was about 250 miles away.
A quake in 2010 in Chile killed more than 500 people.

The total package: Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton is much more than just a stellar player for Aggies
"From a health standpoint, I expect a very, very high level of play. I expect him to start right where he left off, which was very, very efficient, very effective, very explosive, very stingy with the football — all of those things. So as long as he gets back to being the same Chuckie, then I expect that that's what we'll see.
"Time will tell; none of us know," Wells said. "Let's be real with it. Every knee is different, every rehab is different; we do feel like he's right on track. And from what I hear, he's doing well. But until that is proven out there on the field in a live game, then we won't know. But I've got full confidence in that kid. There's not a kid that's gonna work harder in this program than him, and I'm looking forward to watching him play."
Keeton admitted that, at times, he might be his own worst enemy.
"The thing that's probably not the greatest with me is that I trusted my body too much, and I'll take the blame for that," he said. "That could be why I've been hurt a couple times. But I definitely don't believe in second-guessing anything.
"I can't really say it's a trust thing," he said of his rebuilt knee. "It's really just getting my muscles back; more than anything, it's getting the muscles around my knee back into the swing of things.
"And it's OK — I've already run into a couple things at home, so I've been testing myself."
Keeton can take inspiration from other football stars like Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, who both came back from similar ACL injuries to play at an extremely high level again.
Keeton is a native of Houston, and since Griffin played his college football at Baylor, the Aggies' quarterback is well-acquainted with Griffin's accomplishments.
"The year before he won the Heisman Trophy, he actually tore his ACL," Keeton said of Griffin. "So when he did it with the Redskins, that was actually his second time doing it. I don't know if it was the same knee, but he's done it before.
"So I guess that's kind of my inspiration; once again, he's a Texas kid and he's a quarterback. So I definitely know it's doable and I know you can have success afterwards.
"But at the end of the day, the great thing about quarterback is we're the most reliant people on the field because there's no way in the world we can do our job just by ourselves," Keeton said. "You have to have receivers to throw to, you have to have the O-line protecting you. So really, more than anything, what they're really relying on me more on is to be in the right position to throw the football and to do everything mentally because, more than anything, the game of quarterback is mental.
"Not only do we have to know the plays, but we have to know who we need to read and all that. So I think that was a very big benefit of me being hurt because I was able to not actually, physically do it, but mentally walk through every play while I was watching."
Being stuck on the sidelines for half of last season and much of spring ball also had other benefits for Keeton, who has maintained great balance between football and the other aspects of his life off the field.
"It gave me a lot of time to reflect on myself versus just focusing on what cover-three is and all that," he said. "So that was definitely a big thing. And I was able to kind of settle down a little bit and just relax and kinda get back to being a normal person for a second."
And Keeton realizes that, having missed half of his junior season, he's still got plenty to prove, and feels strongly that his best days are still ahead of him.
"If you're at the top — say I had an amazing year and all that last year — well, there's not many places to go but down," he said, pointing out that former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny "Mr. Football" Manziel did not have as strong of a sophomore season as he did following his Heisman Trophy-winning season as a freshman. "Once you hit the peak, there's only one way to go.

I liked it
Really nice effect, made me feel like I was front row of a concert or something. However, that same static-y feel also hurt you, as it hurt the clarity. It was good though, I gave it a five anyway.
I just found out Tascam makes an 8 track recorder for under 500$.....It would have been cool to be able to fix that in post. I use a standalone CD burner, so I never get to tweak the mix in post.

Chef of the Week: Picking the right mix
Published: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 6:24 p.m.
When Tray Mathis, chef and owner of Converse Deli in Spartanburg, S.C., started the eatery about 15 months ago, he developed its menu based on spices and tricks he learned working in restaurants in Australia, New Orleans and Charleston.
Share your dishes with us
Attention chefs, culinary students and residents interested in sharing dishes and recipes with readers of the Times-News.
Each week, we'll feature a different chef, baker, cook or culinary student and their recipes in our Wednesday section.
Contact staff writer Linda Conley at linda.conley@

"A passion of mine has always been great sandwiches and fine dining," he said. "I pay attention to details because I like to wow customers. I like to combine good ingredients and make sure no one ingredient conquers the flavor of my food."
This week, Mathis shares two of his dishes and their recipes with readers. They are a Cuban sandwich served with a tomato basil soup and a micro grilled cheese sandwich and an oyster pan roast.
Oyster Pan Roast
4 raw oysters
1 tablespoon of oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon sambuca
2 tablespoons ground pecans
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Clemson blue cheese
1 teaspoon fresh, finely ground rosemary
For topping:
3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon cooked bacon
¼ teaspoon fresh finely ground rosemary
In a small pan, saute oysters with oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add sambuca and cook till reduced. Add pecans, cream, blue cheese and rosemary.
Place oysters in cassoulet pan top with panko, bacon and rosemary topping and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until crust is browned. Serve with French bread crostini and enjoy.
Chef's notes: You can leave out sambuca if you wish. Always remember to salt, pepper and oil your crostini, though.
The Cuban
Before you begin, smoke a pork butt to get the barbecue, then make your mojo sauce.
For pork rub:
1 tablespoon onion
1 tablespoon garlic
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon chipotle
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
Slit the fat in the pork diagonally. Mix ingredients, and rub top and bottom of the pork with the mixture.
Place in a smoker or in the oven for 12 hours at a temperature of 195 degrees. Remove pork and let cool, then pick off all the meat and discard the fat and bone.
For mojo sauce:
6 garlic cloves, small, diced
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
In a medium saucepan, saute off the garlic, then add the other ingredients. Let simmer for 30 minutes.
For the sandwich:
½ cup pork
1 teaspoon mojo sauce
1 pickle spear, cut up
4 ounces Board's head ham
1 slice Swiss cheese
8-inch hoagie roll
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
On a microwave-safe dish, place the pork, drizzled with the mojo sauce, pickle, ham and Swiss cheese and place in the microwave for 1 minute. Cut hoagie in half, and spread the spicy brown mustard on both sides. Add all the components in the microwave. Bake in oven at 315 degrees for 5 minutes or cook on a sandwich press. Cut in half and enjoy.
Tomato Basil Soup
½ yellow onion
3 stalks celery
1 carrot, cut up
3 tablespoons garlic
½ cup white wine
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
10-ounce can of tomatoes in juice
1 teaspoon balsamic
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
In a medium-size stock pot, saute onions, celery, carrots and garlic until soft. Add white wine and all the spices and let simmer until wine has cooked away. Add tomatoes, balsamic and sugar and reduce temperature to medium. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
Blend until smooth in a hand blender. Add cream and basil and let continue to cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until hot. Season to taste.

This is so easy to use looks great... I haven't seen a price yet if it's affordable I'm in... http://www.dougison.com is where I will first try it. One thing I don't like is the page background that the person is taken to. It's a not so good looking city and the color makes it look dirty. Don't mean to be offensive... but it should be either just a plain color or multicolors or a sky background or ocean or something nuetral... so that for me is a killer and until that is fixed I will not use it.

Geotrichum candidum grew filamentously in batch culture. Hyphal fragmentation occurred during growth; mycelial fragments in the early part of the stationary phase had a mean length of 300 to 400 μm. The dry weight, total hyphal length, number of hyphal tips and turbidity of the culture all increased exponentially at about the same specific growth rate. The results suggested, the existence of a functional unit of growth consisting of a hyphal tip associated with a constant mean length of hypha. The hyphal growth unit was defined as the ratio between the total hyphal length and number of hyphal tips in the culture; for G. candidum this unit was about 100 μm long and its length remained constant when the organism's specific growth rate was varied by changes in temperature, carbon source or the incorporation of cycloheximide in the medium.
