Present Repo Rate Of Rbi
News »latest by relevance
Feb 02, 2016 at 08:57 | Source: Reuters
Having cut the policy repo rate by 125 basis points in 2015, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan warned on Friday against straying from the path of fiscal consolidation or relaxing the fight against inflation.
Mar 04, 2015 at 16:01 | Source: PTI
Encouraged by softening inflation and fiscal consolidation roadmap presented by the government, the Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday slashed key policy (repo) rate by 0.25 percent to 7.5 percent, the second such surprise rate cut outside the regular policy review in less than two months.
Jul 30, 2013 at 11:10 | Source: Moneycontrol.com
The RBI in its first quarter (April-June, 2013-14) monetary policy left key rates unchanged hinting at rate cuts in future subject to market stability. With this, D Subbarao, the governor who had taken the central bank assignment in September, 2008; presented his last quarterly policy before he hangs up his boots in September this year.

Bankers today said they expect the Reserve Bank to cut its key rates by 0.25% at the forthcoming mid-quarter review given the present need to boost growth.
Jul 27, 2010 at 10:43 | Source: CNBC-TV18
The Reserve Bank of India has raised the repo by 25 bps to 5.75% from the current 5.5%. The reverse repo has also been hiked to 50 bps to 4.5% from the present 4%. The cash reserve ratio has been kept unchanged at 6%.
Nov 12, 2008 at 17:28 | Source: CNBC-TV18
Deven Choksey feels unless the RBI signals a cut in the reverse repo rate and asks banks to start lending to the corporate, the liquidity situation is not likely to ease. Rajesh Jain said the present crisis is a crisis of confidence. There doesn't seem to be any stopping or midpoint where the worst seems to be improving and one starts buying.

Released: Dec 01st, 2001
Running Time: 71
Director: Paul Barresi
Company: Pacific Sun Entertainment
Cast: Brett DiMineo, Danny Chance, Zachery Scott, Michael Knight, Brett Collins, Kurt Wagner, Mark Slade, Nathan Hamilton
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Big-dick appeal.
Hung, young, and all-American, this is better-than-average fare and features enough meat to satisfy most size queens. The plot is thin, familiar, and silly, but director Paul Barresi highlights the sex pig in each member of the cast and the arousal level each scene generates is impressive. Pacific Sun could score big with their cover boy/Exclusive-stud Brett DiMineo, a horse-hung boy-next-door type who turns in a rock-hard, versatile performance in each one of his three scenes.

Here's a link to the story: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/338915_pastor09.html
It's also worth noting that everything the evangelicals and Cathaholics accuse gays and lesbians of doing--defiling marriage, raping children, recruiting unsuspecting glassy-eyed acolytes--are the very parts of their business model that they push daily on a global scale.
But the Pope has forgiven all of those demon children for asking for it, so everything's A-OK now.
I'll also argue that it's related to the protection they can get from their flocks. A Unitarian minister can't count on his virtually agnostic parishioners protecting him from allegations. A fundie minister can totally count on it. Fundamentalists will inevitably take the side of an abusing pastor over his accusers. Since he's religious, he just has to be a good person and he has to be telling the truth.
A-Fucking-men, Savage. Seriously good post.
"Their flocks" is the operative phrase. If you own something you feel justified in using it as you see fit, especially if you view yourself as the ram, as opposed to lamb, of God.
The media is unlikely to address any such pattern no matter how obvious it is to millions of ordinary citizens. The mainstream media exist to serve those who own the media. It is the same reason that they gladly help Bush sell war with Iran even though ordinnary citizens know the government is selling that war just like they sold the Iraq war. With lies and deception.
I don't disagree with the points you're making Dan, but I do believe the situation is more complicated from the parishioner's standpoint.
Even if the media did a better job of keeping citizens well-informed of all the bad things happening within certain conservative denominations, it doesn't necessarily follow that the members of those denominations will become better-informed as a result.
These types of congregations by their very nature tend to be insular, and mistrustful of any aspersions made against those in authority; after all, they've had it drilled into their heads that "the Liberal media" is anti-religion, and that they will use any opportunity to smear, slander, or otherwise denigrate church leaders. So, when the abuses are eventually reported, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the ire of the followers turns, not against the accused, but against the accusers; it is after all, exactly what they've been told to expect.
In addition, people like Pastor Robb tend to be charismatic and domineering, a combination that naturally appeals to a certain type of individual who is seeking authority, who doesn't feel empowered to control their own seemingly uncontrollable life, and who are seemingly always ready and willing to cede personal responsibility in exchange for the security of having someone who seems to know better tell them what is or isn't good for them.
This type of personality isn't going to be swayed by an endless series of media exposes on the debaucheries of their religious authority figures, simply because it would mean not only acknowledging that their trust has been deeply betrayed, but also that said authority figure has not been acting in the best interests of his (and it does always seem to be men - when was the last time you saw a story about a female pastor abusing members of her church?) congregation.
Many of them simply aren't equipped to handle that level of critical examination, even when the evidence is staring them in the face.
Establishing a causal relationship between strict, authoritarian religious figures and sex abuse is pretty tough. How does the prevalence of this compare with the rest of the population?
These kind of stories are tailor made for the 24-hour news cycle. There isn't a news site that can resist the "Pastor rapes children" headline. 10 years ago, this would would have been a local story. Now, within hours, it's the lead internationally. This creates the perception that this behavior is endemic--which it most likely is not.
That said, if you are unwilling to take responsibility for your own life and turn all decisions over to a svengali of any type, you shouldn't be surprised when bad things happen. Which really sucks if your parents drag you into a world dominated by a prick like Pastor Rob. And as always, the parents had no idea...
Where the mainstream media fails, a blog must fill the void... Quality Post
Thank you, Dan. It's nice to see that SOMEone in media isn't afraid to say it.
In this context I recommend Sara Robinson's posts about getting out of Fundie churches over on the blog Orcinus. She also has a lot to say about how this is all related to authoritarian personalities (especially as followers), and how manipulative people use this to meet their needs. She does say that finding out about abuse going on has actually lead a lot of people out of the church, because it makes them start to question what they've been taught.
Apparently the people in the congregation were not wealthy, and this pastor dude didn't have another job. It seems strange they'd be ok with him having a Jaguar and a Hummer as explained in the story in the link.
Public intern post more than 45 days old? What the fuck?
The sad reality is that there will always be something attractive about a radical, strong outspoken man to weak people.
When you say extreme things people WILL listen and you will often find people following you. I'm not so sure this only happens to Power hungry Pastors or in the Christian community. I think it happens in all walks of life.
Driscoll is packing his church out with a message of anger, picking on other ministers and hating women. He's packing it our because he looks secure and like he has all the answers and maybe people do not want to think for themselves.
Dan, You say over the top things and you rile people up but people keep coming back to read what you write. You stirred me up enough to keep reading what you wrote and it made me madder than a hornet. I kind of came around though to understand your side, so good job! The only difference between you and these Pastors is that most of the over top stuff you say is meant to be humorous but some people take it seriously. Every once in awhile you go a little nuts like about Skate Parks and the last supper painting!
Fnarf does the same thing but he's always right except when I disagree with him which surprisingly is not that often except about a few God details that we will never agree on and how big angles are too.
Big mouths get all the attention but I dont understand why the media cant or wont say more about it? Im not sure what you are getting at when you say that?
I guess you mean that guys like Robertson, Rev. Hutcherson, Phelps and the likes get good press? I certainly do not think they draw any good media attention but maybe that is because they are an embarrassment to me! They mix politics and religion and that is the biggest sin of all in my book. They are wrong!
So this Pastor Robb just was a very sick, secure, dictator to some very wounded people and they got abused. Shame on him but also shame on any adult that cant think enough for herself and then follows a guy like that. Ya, the kids were victims but the adults I just want to pull their hair and ask them why they didnt run for the hills when they saw this guy leading them wrong! Hes kind of scary looking anyway!
mj, this line of yours really made me laugh:
"Fnarf ... [is] always right except when I disagree with him"
If only everyone had your confidence.
Great, great post.
If you want a good laugh (or cry, maybe), read this response to the story from someone called HolyBibleLover:
Once again, the liberal media can't WAIT to put something on the front page that they HOPE will embarrass the local Christian community. I ask: where is the PROOF of these allegations? Why aren't the women who allege this behavior answering why they waited so long to come forward with this 'story'?
This country and the Christian rock upon which it was established remain under attack from the communist 'news' organizations currently running roughshod over our homes and our lives, and our CHRISTIAN America. Women, come to your senses! We are the helpmates of our husbands, and we must not for ONE MOMENT cause them to falter or fall (IF it even really happened in this case). And when one is accused, it is WE who MUST stand by the backbones of our families, our culture, our VERY FUTURE, and defend these men from the lies and deceit of heretical women in our congregations.
They have a certain defense-----they are following not God, but His adversary. But these accusers can be redeemed of their lies, if they are lying, by admitting the truth. If they are telling the truth, then they must look at themselves in the mirror to find who is really at fault here, and then go to the pastor, the congregation, the community and-----most importantly-----their Savior, and beg for forgiveness for being temptresses against Christian morality!
(Yep, every child deserves a mother like this...)
@ 17:
One can only hope (pray?) that that letter was intended as satire.
Let's see - the media don't report that this happens all the time, yet, as you also say, everyone knows this happens all the time. How do they know that? The media. Now lay yourself down to sleep again, Dan.
Ahh, Dan, posts like this one are the reason I started reading Slog. Right on.
Did anyone else notice the shocking resemblance that "mild-looking" pastor has to Dennis Rader aka the BTK serial killer? Scary.
@15 -
Shame on him but also shame on any adult that cant think enough for herself and then follows a guy like that. Ya, the kids were victims but the adults I just want to pull their hair and ask them why they didnt run for the hills when they saw this guy leading them wrong! Hes kind of scary looking anyway!
I think you need to learn more about brainwashing and the methods of cults. It might be comforting to think you wouldn't fall into the same trap they did, but it's surprising how easy it is to mentally isolate even highly intelligent people and lead them over a cliff.
When the congregation hires and fires the pastor, a child-molesting pastor will be fired and never work again. When there is no fear of firing, as when the pastor controls the church, or when the hierarchy shuffles bad pastors around, that's when you're more likely to get a pervert.
There are one hell of a lot of people - sometimes I think it's the majority - who are uncomfortable with ambiguity, shades of grey, uncertainty. Those people like a world of absolute good and absolute evil, a simplistic, easy-to-categorize world. "You're either with us or against us." It is supremely easy for a charismatic, domineering, authoritarian figure to misuse the need of such people for structure, rules, absolutes for whatever purposes they wish. It might be money, it might be power, it might be sex with children these psychopaths are after - it might even be the ultimate power trip of a Jim Jones to control life and death.
It's part of some people's basic nature to seek an alpha male, a demagogue, a daddy. You're not going to change that - all we can hope for is that we can quickly identify the more sociopathic individuals who take advantage of such credulity and trust to abuse people.
They're never going to have much luck with those of us who are so stubbornly resistant to authority that we'd cut off our own noses to spite our faces rather than be perceived as a follower, though...
@22... Yes you're probably right but I still want to pull their hair. It would probably wake them up and make their brain snap into to gear and besides that it would be so fun!
As always, Dan's post on this subject resonates. People should run for their very lives when they hear the scream of religion, sexual obsession and authoritarian dictates.
Sorry to dump it on your post, Dan, but for some mysterious reason comments are closed on the Public Intern post.
So here's how I would have dealt with these dirty clothes everywhere: anything on the floor goes in a pile outside. When that pile is completed, it is soaked in kerosene and lit on fire. THE END.
Sorry, it looks like my brain needs to snap "into to" gear... LOL
This does happen in other Christian denominations but it's less troubling and widespread because 1. The larger, better organized churches swiftly deal with it internally and REPORT IT TO THE POLICE when necessary because they don't want to become as hypocritcal and callous as the Catholic Church (which is one of the things the Reformation was about in the first place) and 2. Protestant ministers are not forbidden to have sex their entire lives; they can find someone to release their sexual energy with (yes, within the bonds of marriage) and not be told they are going straight to hell.
After Luther nailed up the 95 theses, he got to nail his wife (an ex-nun).
Did you ever watch The Frugal Gourmet? That guy's show was taken off the air because he was accused of sexual harassment, but he'd been kicked out of the Methodist Church years earlier due to sexual misconduct. The Methodist Church probably could have dealt with that less covertly, but that did happen in the 70s. Still even decades ago when everything was more hush-hush, unlike the Catholic Church, the Methodist Church did not just shuffle sexual predators around to have easier access to parishioners.
Sorry to start a big us-better-than-them post. But really, people were pointing out the child-raping ways of the Catholics hundreds of years ago (in Candide for example, published in the mid-1700s). It's a tragic cycle whose lessons nobody seems to be learning. You can blame the parents for being stupid for exposing their children to this, but at the same time, they might have been exposed to it themselves when they were young.
It makes me feel sad, disgusted, and powerless.
Whenever something like this comes out, the mainstream always tries to draw a larger conclusion from it. Like the Manson thing -- the main stream used Manson to draw conclusions about hippies and drugs and youth culture generally. Of course these mainstream critics were full of shit but the underlying dynamic of Manson's cult contained enough frightening contradictions for most people that the mainstream critics could simply blame the aspects of the counterculture that they found most alienating and be confident that their consumers would seize on that logic in order to avoid having to consider the implications of cult behaviors generally.
We all know on some level that if you get the right kind of leader and the right kind of followers together in a socially, physically or economically isolated milieu, shit like this just happens. The details -- Branch Davidian, Manson Family, Symbionese Liberation Army, whatever -- are pretty much irrelevant to the underlying dynamic.
So basically, attempts to draw conclusions about broader movements based on the abuses of these leader/follower anomalies are intellectually dishonest. Dan -- I'm looking at you when I say that.
"how big angles are too"
MJ, you will NEVER get me to agree on anything more than 89 degrees. I'M AGAINST IT.
I should point out here that Unitarian churches have regulations that have to be followed regarding areas where you have children. Their response to all of the issues with the Catholic church was to try and correct any potential problems before they happened.
I worked in a UU church for a while, and there were all kinds of rules, from people not being alone with kids to having windows in all the rooms so that classes could be seen from the hall. It was a good policy, overall.
@31 Ok, I'm a nerd I meant to say something that you will never be... Angel ; )

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart says parents living in the U.S. illegally should be punished but separating them from their U.S.-born children is unreasonable.
Diaz-Balart (R-Miami) was one of four U.S. representatives to speak to a crowd of nearly 1,000 gathered in the farm community of Homestead, just south of Miami Sunday, as part of a 17-city tour advocating immigration reform.
Congressional Hispanic Caucus leader Luis Gutierrez, (D-Il) is touring the country listening to the stories of immigrants at events organized by local community groups and churches.
Gutierrez says his goal is to "hold the president's feet to the fire," and remind administration large numbers of those who voted for him want immigration reform.

How to Set up a Honeymoon Fund
Honeymoons can be very expensive, and you may need to find a way to save money to go on one. Following these steps will help you achieve the honeymoon of your dreams.
1Choose your honeymoon destination. Many couples want their honeymoon to be the vacation they've always dreamed of.
2Determine the details of your honeymoon, such as traveling expenses, hotel prices, restaurant prices, and what kind of day trips you'd like to go on.
3Decide whether you would like to receive money at your wedding, or want to set up a honeymoon fund online.
- If you use the Internet for setting up your honeymoon fund, you will have access to lots of planning tools, as well as tools to see who has made a contribution to your honeymoon fund. In addition, you'll be able to track who you notified of your honeymoon fund and which contributors you have thanked.
4Compose an invitation to your wedding that includes your request for people to contribute to your honeymoon fund.
- Add a short presentation of information about your desired honeymoon and the parts you need help with. For example, if you have enough money for your flights, but not enough for lodging, food, and expenses, ask specifically for contributions to those parts of your honeymoon.
- Let guests know how you would like them to contribute. If you are using the Internet, give them the website to go to. Ask your guests to send you checks, gift cards, and gift certificates.
5Keep track of who contributed to your honeymoon fund and make sure to thank each person individually, either by email, regular mail, phone, or in person.

jMaki Gears Up with Extensions
By woodjr on Jun 12, 2007
Project jMaki has just completed a successful .9.3 release (as summarized in Carla's blog). One of the headline items in the release is support for a new "jMaki Extensions" mechanism. Greg has posted a detailed writeup of Extensions, where he describes them as "behavior / functionality that are shared across widgets."
Examples of Extensions, Greg says, could include enhanced debugging support, sound, or application-specific controllers. But for his own sample, he's looking to even fresher ground: Google Gears (which enables off-line webapps by providing a browser add-on with APIs for things like local storage). Seeing how easily Greg creates a jMaki Extension for Google Gears might just inspire you to create some Extensions of your own.

Renewable Energy Closing In On Natural Gas As Second-Largest Source Of Electricity Worldwide
Renewable energy will soon beat out natural gas as the second-largest source of electricity worldwide, according to projections from the International Energy Agency.
Electricity from solar, wind, hydropower and other renewable sources will increase by 40 percent in the next five years, making up about 25 percent of the world's energy sources by 2018. Renewables will provide the second-largest amount of global electricity by 2016, topped only by coal, the number one supplier of electricity around the world. Today, hydropower dominates the renewable energy mix, supplying 80 percent of the world's renewable electricity, but IEA projects non-hydro sources of renewable energy will double over the next five years, comprising about 8 percent of the world's energy sources by 2018.
Lower costs are a major contributor to the spike in renewable energy — in many developing countries in Africa and Asia (and some developed ones, like Australia) renewables like wind are actually cheaper than coal. These costs are helping drive higher levels of investment in renewable energy from developing countries looking to meet rising energy demands. Reports published earlier this month found developing countries invested a total of $112 billion in renewable energy in 2012, an increase of 19 percent from the year before. China led the way in this area, upping its investment to $67 billion — an increase of nearly a quarter compared to 2011. The total invested by countries in the Middle East and Africa was much smaller — about $12 billion — but compared to 2011, their investment surged upward by 228 percent.
But renewable energy investment isn't growing everywhere — it's actually dropping off in developed nations. The IEA notes that despite the renewable sector's rapid growth, worldwide subsidies for fossil fuels are still six times higher than subsidies for renewables (the U.S.'s spending reflects the world's average — in 2011, U.S. fossil fuel subsidies were $523 billion, about six times higher than the $88 billion spent on renewable energy). President Obama pledged in his climate speech Tuesday to double the country's wind and solar energy and to allow enough private renewable energy development on public lands to powqer 6 million homes by 2020. But governments in Europe, meanwhile, are cutting renewable energy subsidies as austerity measures take hold
Obama also addressed coal's role in the U.S. energy mix on Tuesday, announcing he would be imposing limits on carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants in the U.S., as well as stopping government financing of coal plants overseas. Despite new investments in renewables, coal still dominates the energy market in developing countries like China and India. But its hold on the market may slowly be slipping. In a draft energy strategy statement, the World Bank revealed Thursday that it would be cutting back on the number of coal plants it finances, limiting its support to "rare circumstances where there are no feasible alternatives available to meet basic energy needs and other sources of financing are absent."
24 Responses to Renewable Energy Closing In On Natural Gas As Second-Largest Source Of Electricity Worldwide
Shouldn't it say coal is the number one supplier of electricity around the world not the number one supplier of energy? I believe oil is the number one supplier of energy and coal is a close second. Also, shouldn't the title say "electricity" not "energy." I find this very confusing.
Keep in mind that historically, IEA forecasts have consistently underestimated the growth of renewable energy.
That is all well and good, increases in renewables that is, but without a comprehensive plan to reduce consumption through efficiency and planning there in no hope of getting fossil fuels into a steep decline.
Thank you for the changes. Much clearer now.
There is one central metric; all non-essential uses of fossil fuel must be eliminated IMMEDIATELY if we are to have any chance of avoiding the cliff.
That is true, but such action is not consistent with 'growth' since – for one – there is currently no alternative to oil product for transport. My thought is that we need to not worry about economic growth – which is always short-term (a la Keynes – "in the long run we're all dead") – and really focus on the physical efficiency of energy use and hopefully approach substantial reduction in fossil fuel use.
That's what you demand of everyone else — but refuse to do yourself, even in cases where it's easy, inexpensive, and actually beneficial.
There's a word for that.
check out the daily show interview of Josh Fox, Gasland Part II, from the other night… Fox told of President Obama meeting with all the energy company heads when working on the energy policy, and said he wishes the prez would meet with the families who are being affected by all the fracking, the burning water and rise of disease…
oh hell yes!
By far, the cheapest source of energy IS not using it in the first place… ie. Energy Efficiency. We need a world wide effort to eliminate Wasted Energy.
We can avoid the "Climate Change Cliff" by using less fossil fuels…but we must also Sequester the CO2 from the air into our top soil. Check out Allan Savory's Ted Talk
Maybe its time the "Developed" world followed the example of resource poor countries who are forced to innovate in order to survive.Because one day we all will be.
'Hopefully approaching' substantial reduction in fossil fuel use will not cut the mustard at this late stage. We require total decarbonisation as fast as humanly possible, so we need the fossil fuel trillions in 'assets' will have to be rendered valueless. Or we, and our children, can just perish. A simple choice, I would have thought.
Coal is becoming less valuable but far too slowly. Nevertheless, 'poor' old Tinkler had to sell his race horses, ME
I've been noticing a few houses in the neighborhood getting new roofs and also installing solar panels. Conservatives had been telling us that all those companies went out of business. I guess they were wrong about that, too?
You start by eliminating ALL fossil fuel applications that are non-essential TODAY. Then, you make the remaining applications more efficient. The first can be done immediately, the second can take from a modest to a long time, depending on how much R&D is required.
Keep in mind when people demand "growth" that the economy is a subset of the environment.
GROWTH…ahh…there's the rub. Some growth is Good and necessary. Gardens and Babies for example.
Some Growth is NOT GOOD. Urban sprawl and tumors for example.
Growth is being touted by economists as the Solution to all of our economic problems. This is crazy talk…and not sustainable.IMHO
Everything neo-liberal 'economists' utter is 'crazy talk'. 'Rational expectations', 'perfect knowledge', 'Invisible Hands', 'comparative advantage', 'the Magic of compound interest (that's the killer)' etc. A cult, with ritualistic cultic beliefs and the cult's intolerance of apostasy.
That's a very acute observation Mulga. The economic rationalist school which now appears dominant is indeed a cult. Even a hint of defection is treated very harshly as I learnt recently from a highly respected old academic friend, ME
..and yet ecological economics, ala Herman Daly, has been developing in the background for 40 years. Wikipedia:
"Ecological economics is referred to as both a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary field of academic research that aims to address the interdependence and coevolution of human economies and natural ecosystems over time and space."
Which, being a tool for describing a co-evolving relationship with nature that is totally at odds with the capitalist end game, is kept backstage and off-air. How many Americans even have an inkling that the destruction of nature is leading to the collapse in value of everything they hold dear? That failure to stabilize world ecological systems will cost them a lot more than just their homes and jobs. I don't know if we have a chance against deep ignorance; not enough is being done about it.
"..eliminating ALL fossil fuel applications that are non-essential…can be done immediately".
Really? How does that actually, not theoretically, happen? Even Superman needs nuts & bolts on occasion, yes?
Hang in there mate, it isn't all over yet. Sanity is gaining ground all over the world and when it flips, that's it. We will see the monsters off, albeit with huge casulties, but we will prevail, ME
Yes. Renewables will move much faster than before.

The 2005 Cristal stands out for its exceptional inner perfume and elegance. Soft, delicate and pretty, the 2005 is a relatively immediate Cristal with all of the signatures very much in the right place. The 2005 doesn't have the opulence of the 2002 nor the focus of the 2004, but it is a very pretty, if somewhat small-scaled version of this iconic Champagne. I would drink the 2005 while the 2002 and 2004 age. Although Cristal has an impeccable track record when it comes to aging, personally I would not push it with the 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.
(L036332A109909): Bright yellow-gold. Heady floral-accented citrus and orchard fruits on the nose, with smoky mineral and floral overtones adding complexity. Velvety and chewy in texture, offering deep, juicy orange and poached pear flavors and suave honey and chamomile nuances. Blends precision with power, finishing with a distinct mineral quality and excellent persistence. -- Josh Raynolds

Ok.... i feel like maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I failed the one hour BY ONE FREAKING POINT. Normal top range is 135. I was 136. REALLY? So now i have to do the 3 hour fast. REALLY?
I'm just complaining here, but COME ON. One teensy little point?
Sigh... anyone else fail the first test by just a bit and then fail the three hour? I feel like it should be a forgone conclusion that I'll pass, right?

Hello, thanks for visiting my profile. I am a web developer at PSU. I started my carrier by learning applescript. Since then I've become familiar with PHP MySQL, javascript, jQuery as well. I have made use of other services that go hand and hand with those languages such as json,jsonp,ajax. I have some shell scripting experience and have dabbled in perl.
Hopefully I have helped you with a question you or maybe you have help me with a question thanks thanks for stopping by.

Radio frequency switches are widely used in commercial, aerospace and defense applications. These include satellite communication systems, wireless communication and radar systems. In order to select an appropriate RF switch for any application, one must first consider the required performance specifications such as frequency bandwidth, power handling capability, signal level, switching speed, power consumption and tolerable losses. RF MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-system) technology offers the necessary performance advantages over existing solid-state options. A design of DC contact RF MEMS shunt switch is proposed in this paper. The design is optimized in terms of activation mechanism which includes switch hinge thickness, bridge thickness, air gap height and number of menders. The pull-in voltage is analyzed with commercial CAD finite element analysis software IntelliSuite.

Explore this destination through the eyes of Four Seasons guests. Share experiences from your own journeys with the hashtag #FourSeasons.
City of the Medici, birthplace of Dante and Machiavelli, is it any wonder that Florence is synonymous with wealth, culture and sophistication? Of course, there's spectacular architecture (Brunelleschi's Duomo is only one of many remarkable landmarks), outstanding music (especially during the Maggio Musicale festival) and Renaissance art. Is there a collection anywhere to rival the Uffizi, with its peerless works by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael? But don't overlook the smaller museums. Museo Ferragamo, for example, displays a rotating exhibition of shoes drawn from a collection of 10,000 pairs. Appropriate, then, that it stands at the southern end of Via de' Tornabuoni, itself a virtual alphabet of Italian fashion from Armani, Bulgari and Cavalli all the way to Ermenegildo Zegna. And don't miss the botteghe, or artisans' ateliers, to be found in Oltr'arno, south of the river, where craftsmen practise ancient trades such as goldsmithing, silk-weaving, metalworking, woodworking, scaglioli and leathercraft.

I have written a Python program to analyse a set of files present in a given directory, i.e. it asks for a path then it goes into the path directory and find specified files, process them and produces an output file. However, every time I want to execute the program on a UNIX machine I have to write
python my_prog.py. Also, to process a directory the program must be copied to the directory first, then executed.
I want to make it so that in UNIX I type
my_prog inside any directory the program be executed, which means getting rid of copying the program file to target directory. How can I do this?

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
A trite, untrue mental-illness mystery insults the show's high IQ, but doesn't diminish the opener's capture-the-imagination thesis: that a redeemed House can be just as compelling as a rude House.
The episode has a few sentimentality issues (any plot point involving a music box walks a very fine line), but it doesn't matter much because the characters are so vivid they even outshine House at times, which can only be good for him.
Other complications arise as well, and Laurie is superb in this episode, carrying scenes so strongly that for long stretches the viewer will forget the absence of his regular colleagues entirely.
For one night, this is the best House, and its leading man, have been in a long time.
House is too often dismissed as a formulaic show, as if formula were always a bad thing. It breaks its boundaries often enough, and though tonight's episode--appropriately titled "Broken"--would seem to be a prime example of that, half the fun is seeing the formula applied to strangers, in a very strange land.
It's a meeting of the brilliantly analytical minds, and a master class in acting, when Hugh Laurie clashes with Andre Braugher as a crafty but also damaged psychiatrist who holds the key to House's future, in House's tremendously entertaining and ultimately moving two-hour sixth-season opener.
It's a generally strong episode as House attempts to annoy his doctors so much that they'll sign off on his departure.
The episode is clearly constructed as a showcase for Laurie--who is seemingly incapable of a boring performance--but the writers really haven't done him much of a favor. There are too many beats that refuse to be reconciled; too many times when House is forced to behave absurdly badly to get what he wants, just to backtrack when he gets it.

For awhile, we almost feel like the show can return to its greatness. Then it slowly falls apart, in ways that aren't even really worth getting into. At first it seems like it could just be a symptom of the show getting too tired at the end of a long season. But rest assured the lousiness is set to follow the show from there to the end.… Full Review »

Skip to comments.Former Sen. Howard Metzenbaum dead at 90
Posted on 03/13/2008 12:12:30 AM PDT by NoLibZone
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, an Ohio Democrat who was a feisty self-made millionaire before he began a long career fighting big business in the Senate, died Wednesday night. He was 90.
Metzenbaum died at his home near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said Joel Johnson, his former chief of staff. No cause was given.
During 18 years on Capitol Hill, from 1977 to 1995, Metzenbaum came to be known as "Senator No" and "Headline Howard" for his abilities to block legislation and get publicity for himself.
He was a cantankerous firebrand who didn't need a microphone to hold a full auditorium spellbound while dropping rhetorical bombs on big oil companies, the insurance industry, savings and loans, and the National Rifle Association, to name just a few favorite targets.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Silence on my part is truly golden. RIP anyway.
I remember him best as one of the senators giving Clarence Thomas a "high-tech lynching of an uppity black who deigned to think for himself."
And he made his money how? By buying property and making parking lots to serve the same businesses he later fought against.
Metzenbaum became wealthy through insightful investments, particularly in real estate near what became the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, which Metzenbaum and his partner, Alva "Ted" Bonda, correctly envisioned would make for extremely profitable parking lots. By 1970 he had sold his interest in his airport parking lot company for $20 million.
AKA - Hypocrite. He made his money selling to 'big business' but he didn't want anyone else to make their's the same way.
That could be the very motto of the elitist Dem party: "Mine Is Got. Yours? 'Fraid Not."
He got his, everybody else can rotate. What a putz.
No comment Ohio Pings!
Metzenbaum once described himself as "born knowing how to make money."
He bragged about his ability to take advantage of tax loopholes, but as senator said he sought to erase loopholes favoring the wealthy.
Typical Democrat. It is OKAY for me to be rich but not for you.
no great loss
Good for me, I outlived another one of the bastids!
If I said that, I'd be accused of being anti semetic...
He will NOT be missed
No great loss. Watch for the long lines along the Washington mall waiting to cue up to pass by his coffin lying in state in the rotunda of the Capitol.
During the years of my epistemological conversion to conservatism, you remember vividly the foils on the other side. The Senator was one of them.
In regards to another Freeper's post about his abilities to find tax loopholes, you would be surprised (without getting into the details) how liberals love Clintonian higher marginal rates, yet hire the best CPA/EA's/CFP's to find every deduction possible to lower their effective rate. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.
How do you like abortion now Howard?
Oooooh, very pithy! I love it.
You beat me to it! LOL I'm REALLY hoping I outlive big-head Ted.
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.
Mark Twain
If you can't say something good don't.....
Not saying anything so do gooders won't flame me
My late mother always told me it was impolite to speak ill of the dead, but I could make an exception in the case of this moron.
One more liberal turd to melt in hell.
Senator M was an uncle of one of my cousins in Cincinnati by marriage & so was at occasional family functions. Personally I found him quite nice (much like Kuchinich).. but a RAT is a RAT is a RAT..
I think he was the leader of the popular liberals who tried to keep Ed Meese from becoming attorney general.
People in OH are known for falling for this kind of politician periodically. Sometimes they never get enough either.
Burn in hell.
Him & Kuchinich were enough to get me to move out of Ohio back in the 80s.
Wasn't he caught up in some kind of scandal involving the post office at the Capitol?
Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
And he knew it was O.K. to pay people NOT to work! Thanks to those of his ilk, this state spends more money on entitlements than most.
I don't know who brought that report out that Ohio ranks in the middle in terms of paying state income taxes. If that's true, then we pay much more In Federal and City taxes, which of course leads to big business leaving this state, at the same time telling people who want to sit on their arses and get free (taxpayer)money to move right on in.
My mother also taught me only to speak good of the dead. So, here goes...
Howard Metzenbaum is dead.
Now why didn't I think of that? Thanks for the smile.
His son-in-law wanted to be the first Jewish president - even changed his name to try to improve his chances. It appears that his political strategy didn't work.
Interesting. Identified as a Democrat in the first sentence... (compare Spitzer)
"a feisty self-made millionaire" who once accused fellow Democrat John Glenn of never having held a job.

In a similar fashion to the much-better-than-anyone-suspected âX-Men Foreverâ series, âX-Factor Foreverâ sees a celebrated creator returning to continue their run on a beloved comic as if they never left. In this case, Louise Simonson returns to âX-Factorâ with a de facto issue #64 of her run, which originally ended with #63.
Much like âX-Men Forever,â the suggestion that this is the intended continuation of Simonsonâs run is a bit of a stretch. After all, issue #1 spends a fair amount of time re-introducing the team members and reminding us of their âcurrentâ sub-plots (and rather gratuitously introduces new costumes) but although the story doesnât quite continue directly on, the situation is taken straight from "X-Factor" #63: the five original X-Men, living in a sentient space-ship (situated right in the middle of Manhattan) with Apocalypse as the seriesâ principle villain.
Immediately, Simonsonâs writing makes the characters and their situations feel familiar, yet at the same time, itâs surprisingly fresh and exciting. The character moments are fantastic, and this detail-oriented take is vastly different from what most of the current X-Men books are doing, so thereâs a sense that despite its position as a sort-of-flashback alternate-universe "What If?," it actually is filling a gap in the publishing line. Almost coincidentally, the closest thing Marvel is publishing to âX-Factor Foreverâ is the current incarnation of âX-Factorâ, which follows a similar character-driven line. That said, âX-Factor Foreverâ lacks Peter Davidâs dry wit, with Simonsonâs version coming over as a little more earnest and heartfelt, but no worse for it.
Dan Panosianâs art is utterly unlike anything of the era being portrayed. If anything, itâs ultra-modern, with a jagged, almost indie style, helped along by Jim Charalampidisâ fantastic choice of palette -- but since the point of this series is not to offer a weak pastiche of "X-Factor" as it was, it makes perfect sense to go with this art style. And in a series where the writing is so focussed on character moments, Panosian outdoes himself in conveying emotion and demeanour, whether itâs Cyclops and Jean making breakfast together, or Apocalypse standing malevolently above his hound, Caliban. After that, the brilliant character designs -- in particular, the doe-eyed Jean Grey and spiky-fringed Iceman -- mean that the book simply could not look better.
Plot-wise, thereâs a lot going on. Apocalypse serves as the principal antagonist, but the story also brings back Master Mold and Cameron Hodge, shows Caliban dealing with Sabretooth in the aftermath of the Morlock Massacre, and thereâs fair mention of the Celestials, too. It seems, in fact, that Simonson might be using this miniseries to provide a âGrand Finaleâ to her "X-Factor" run, pulling together all the threads she ever spun. It makes for an exciting prospect, even though a five issue run seems like an almost sadistically short prospect, based on the quality of this issue.
Rounding out the contents are a handbook-style recap of X-Factor from their early days as the X-Men up until Louise Simonsonâs run concluded, and more interestingly, the first part of an âOrigin of Apocalypseâ backup strip which tells Simonsonâs version of the characterâs beginnings. Itâs not much of a story in itself, but as a fan of Apocalypse, I canât help enjoy it, and it only helps the book feel worth its price tag. Once again, despite all logic to the contrary, âX-Factor Foreverâ transcends its nostalgist3 beginnings to become a genuinely entertaining and enjoyable book.
