Jim Cramer: National-Oilwell Varco, Sociedad Quimica, Staples
National-Oilwell Varco Inc., the biggest U.S. maker of oilfield equipment, was recommended by CNBC host Jim Cramer on his ``Mad Money'' television program yesterday.
Demand is coming from companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., ``which can't find enough rigs to drill in Indonesia to get the oil out of their maturing fields,'' said Cramer, a market commentator and former hedge-fund manager.
``We've got a rig shortage of colossal proportions,'' he said.
National-Oilwell controls more than half the market for new rigs, Cramer said. The Houston-based company also has a product called the rapid rig, which is smaller, lighter and can be set up faster than a regular rig, he said.
``If you've got a company that makes a lot of something we're in short supply of, that's a company that can raise prices,'' he said.
Shares of National-Oilwell climbed 52 cents, or
0.8 percent, to $67.30 in after-hours trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. The stock closed at $66.78 in regular trading.
Other companies in this category recommended by Cramer include Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA, Chile's biggest fertilizer maker, which will benefit from the current lithium shortage because ``they have the monopoly on non-drug lithium.''
Earlier this month, Dell Inc. recalled 4.1 million laptop computer batteries amid concern they can overheat and burst into flames. Sociedad Quimica is one of the few suppliers of lithium at a time of soaring demand, Cramer said.
``Dell's exploding batteries got a lot of press, but no one talked about the effect of the massive lithium battery recall on lithium prices,'' Cramer said. ``That's the play off the Dell recall. We need millions of new batteries and we need lithium to make them.''
Cramer also recommended AMN Healthcare Services Inc., which provides temporary nurses to hospitals. The San Diego-based company will benefit as demand for nursing grows at a time when fewer people are in training or remaining in the profession, he said.
``The nursing shortage only gets worse by the hour and should be with us for a long, long time,'' he said. Low wages have deterred people from becoming nurses at a time when an aging population is boosting demand for health services.
Shares of AMN Healthcare climbed 53 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $22.55 in New York Stock Exchange extended trading, after closing earlier at $22.02.
In the ``Lightning Round,'' Cramer recommended Devon Energy Corp., FedEx Corp., Comcast Corp., Staples Inc., Halliburton Co., Tata Motors Ltd., Yamana Gold Inc., Nabors Industries Ltd., Tate & Lyle Plc and Satyam Computer Services Ltd.
Cramer told viewers to avoid Netflix Inc., Blockbuster Inc., CB Richard Ellis Group Inc., Office Depot Inc., United Parcel Service Inc., TTM Technologies Inc., Imperial Sugar Co., Jos A. Bank Clothiers Inc., Biocryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Vonage Holdings Corp.
Cramer recommended Electronic Arts Inc. in the shorter ``Sudden Death'' round and told viewers to avoid Kinross Gold Corp. and Tellabs Inc.

Academic plagiarism case dropped
By Robyn Rosen, March 11, 2010
A plagiarism allegation against a senior academic has been dismissed after a hearing heard that the student did not own copyright to a disputed dissertation.
Dr Remco Polman, a practitioner psychologist, faced a conduct and competence committee hearing at the Health Professionals Council (HPC) last Friday for allegations that he plagiarised a dissertation by former Leeds Metropolitan University student Jeannette Cohen, which he denied.
Last week, the HPC panel heard that Ms Cohen "was not the legal owner of the material". Ms Cohen, 33, from Bushey, says she is "outraged" by the ruling and may take further steps.

Research Institution:
AbstractProcess intensification methodologies are need for the chemical processes and bioprocesses used in a biorefinery, in order to make the biorefinery a viable commercial alternative to the production of fuels and chemicals. Because the molecular mixing of reactants can enhance reactions, it is a key to process intensification. Significant process inefficiencies can occur (especially with highly reactive species) if the ability of some reactant species to meet other reactant species is limited. This project will develop a novel micro channel reactor to enhance chemical reactions. In addition to facilitating the mixing of chemicals at the molecular level, the system will be able to handle both high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, such as O2, H2, F2, O3, NH3, NF3, CO2 and CO. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The technology should significantly enhance productivity and separations associated with chemical reactions in a biorefinery, leading to reduced energy consumption and increased productivity.

text: Spawned from the swamps of Southeast Texas and steeped in the honky-tonk tradition of Beaumont, Pug Johnson remains a true voice for roots music. Raised on a cattle/chicken ranch, Pug heard and felt the influences of traditional Country acts such as Waylon Jennings, George Jones, and Alan Jackson at an early age. As he grew older, his taste in music did as well, allowing Pug to trace the roots of his beloved country tunes back to original Country bluesmen like Jimmie Rodgers, Mississippi John Hurt, and Blind Willie Johnson. Pug put his love for music to the test at 16, forming Slow Rollin' Lows with schoolmate Jeremy Porter. For six years SRL hit the Texas/Red Dirt scene playing any honky-tonk that would have them and released three full length albums before moving to Nashville in early 2012. Being away from home and surrounded by like-minded people Pug began to find his sound. He released The Throwed Off & Glad EP in the Summer of 2013 which featured songs written after the big move. Tracks such as "Country Song," "Throwed Off & Glad" and "The Pug Song" twang with country tradition and hillbilly charm. A softer side and tarnished innocence is detected in the angst of "Angel" and "I Just Wanna Say," while "One Hand on my Whiskey" drives a Texas bourbon blues beat bound for self-destruction. Pug, now 23 is fully committed to his cause and is striving harder than ever to spread his country butter on the biscuit that is American music…all while having one hell of a time.

An author admitted in court Tuesday to exaggerating his claims that the best-selling "The Da Vinci Code" borrows from his own work.
Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, authors of the 1982 nonfiction book "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail," are suing Random House, publisher of Dan Brown's book.
They claimed that parts of their work formed the basis of Brown's 2003 novel, which has sold more than 40 million copies and has been made into a forthcoming film starring Tom Hanks. They claim that the book didn't just borrow a theory, it stole the whole thrilling jigsaw puzzle they created, CBS News correspondent Richard Roth reports.
Not surprisingly, Brown's publisher calls this nonsense.
"The publishers of the Da Vinci Code are saying, look, all we have done is take the basic facts in the original work, the premise about Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and turn it into a novel," said Paul Herbert, a media lawyer. "There is no copyright in the facts that we based it on, so where's the claim?"
Roth reports that in Britain, "The Da Vinci Code" movie – due out in May – could be delayed if Brown's book loses. But it won't, predicts newspaper publisher Andrew Neil.
"The Da Vinci Code is a dripping roast and everybody wants a share of the drips," Neil said. "It's a win-win for everybody. Even the publishers of the two books are the same."
In fact, Internet sales of the challengers' book jumped 3,500 percent just one day after the case began, reports Roth.
The suit resumed Tuesday at London's High Court after a weeklong break to give the judge time to read both books and related materials.
During cross-examination of Baigent, defense attorney James Baldwin attacked the author's sworn testimony, which spanned more than 100 pages.
Baldwin said the author's reliance on book reviews to back up claims that Brown had taken 15 central plot points from his own work were "simply false." Baigent made the claims in a written witness statement presented to the court at the beginning of the trial.
After a pause, Baigent agreed: "In that case, you are correct ... I think my language was infelicitous, and I think I have to agree with you on that."
That set the theme for the rest of the day, in which Baigent was forced to conceded several points in the prosecution's case.
The day's proceedings were punctuated with long silences as Baigent peered over his black-rimmed glasses at the lawyers, before he conceded that many of his claims may have been incorrect.
Midway through the hearing, Judge Peter Smith asked Baigent how he came to retract so many points from a statement that he had signed only hours earlier.
"It means I did not read them (book reviews) with the correct assiduity as I should have done," Baigent said.
Lawyers for Random House have said ideas about the life and legacy of Jesus Christ, which two writers claim were stolen, are so general that they are not protected by copyright. Many key themes of Baigent and Leigh's book are not in "The Da Vinci Code."
Baigent and Leigh's lawyers say they were not attempting to claim a monopoly on ideas or historical debate, but to prove Brown had "relied heavily" on the earlier work, published in Britain in 1982 and the following year in the United States.
The book's third author, Henry Lincoln, is not involved in the case. A lawyer for the plaintiffs, Paul Sutton, refused to comment.
Lincoln, who is in his 70s and reportedly in poor health, could not be reached for comment.
If the writers succeed in securing an injunction to bar the use of their material, they could hold up the scheduled May 19 release of "The Da Vinci Code" film.
Brown is expected to testify later this week.

Important Global Message
The Miami-Dade County Emergency Operations Center has been activated and is closely monitoring Erika. For any updates about County facilities and services, please visit: http://www.miamidade.gov/emergency
Phases of Emergency Management
There are four phases of Emergency Management.
Mitigation refers to measures that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or reduce the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies. Typical mitigation measures include establishing building codes and zoning requirements, installing shutters, and constructing barriers such as levees.
Preparedness activities increase a community's ability to respond when a disaster occurs.
Typical preparedness measures include developing mutual aid agreements and memorandums of understanding, training for both response personnel and concerned citizens, conducting disaster exercises to reinforce training and test capabilities, and presenting all-hazards education campaigns.
Actions carried out immediately before, during, and immediately after a hazard impact, which are aimed at saving lives, reducing economic losses and alleviating suffering.
Response actions may include activating the emergency operations center, evacuating threatened populations, opening shelters and providing mass care, emergency rescue and medical care, fire fighting, and urban search and rescue.
Actions taken to return a community to normal or near-normal conditions, including the restoration of basic services and the repair of physical, social and economic damages. Typical recovery actions include debris cleanup, financial assistance to individuals and governments, rebuilding of roads and bridges and key facilities, and sustained mass care for displaced human and animal populations.Back to Top Page Last Edited: Wed Aug 20, 2014 2:34:05 PM

Managing Cancer Pain
In this article
Physical and Psychosocial Interventions continued...
The following relaxation exercises may be helpful in relieving pain.
Exercise 1. Slow rhythmic breathing for relaxation *
- Breathe in slowly and deeply, keeping your stomach and shoulders relaxed.
- As you breathe out slowly, feel yourself beginning to relax; feel the tension leaving your body.
- Breathe in and out slowly and regularly at a comfortable rate. Let the breath come all the way down to your stomach, as it completely relaxes.
- To help you focus on your breathing and to breathe slowly and rhythmically: Breathe in as you say silently to yourself, "in, two, three." OR Each time you breathe out, say silently to yourself a word such as "peace" or "relax."
- Do steps 1 through 4 only once or repeat steps 3 and 4 for up to 20 minutes.
- End with a slow deep breath. As you breathe out say to yourself, "I feel alert and relaxed."
Exercise 2. Simple touch, massage, or warmth for relaxation *
- Touch and massage are traditional methods of helping others relax. Some examples are:
- Brief touch or massage, such as hand holding or briefly touching or rubbing a person's shoulders.
- Soaking feet in a basin of warm water or wrapping the feet in a warm, wet towel.
- Massage (3 to 10 minutes) of the whole body or just the back, feet, or hands. If the patient is modest or cannot move or turn easily in bed, consider massage of the hands and feet.
- Use a warm lubricant. A small bowl of hand lotion may be warmed in the microwave oven or a bottle of lotion may be warmed in a sink of hot water for about 10 minutes.
- Massage for relaxation is usually done with smooth, long, slow strokes. Try several degrees of pressure along with different types of massage, such as kneading and stroking, to determine which is preferred.
Especially for the elderly person, a back rub that effectively produces relaxation may consist of no more than 3 minutes of slow, rhythmic stroking (about 60 strokes per minute) on both sides of the spine, from the crown of the head to the lower back. Continuous hand contact is maintained by starting one hand down the back as the other hand stops at the lower back and is raised. Set aside a regular time for the massage. This gives the patient something pleasant to anticipate.

Abstract78684 The near-term requirements of scientific visualization and collaboration software, as well as the anticipated demands of multimedia end-users, argue for dramatic advances in workstation throughput. In particular, desktop network interfaces must accommodate the bandwidth available on current and future high performance networks. To meet these next-generation networking goals, this project will implement a high-speed data path suitable for workstation throughputs of 10 gigabits per second and beyond. To accomplish this goal an industry-standard, high-speed interfaces will be incorporated into a modified workstation architecture, and a rapid-execution protocol stack will be integrated with a middleware solution. Phase 1 will test the feasibility of the modified system architecture with regard to both performance and compatibility. A network interface controller prototype and evaluation platform, including drivers, middleware, and a high-speed bus, will be developed. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The system should greatly enhance tera-scale collaboration for real-time distributed processing. This approach should scale well from local- to wide-area networks, making it ideal for high-performance LANs and SANs, grid computing applications, and wide-area ultra-high-speed networks.

I apologize if you have covered this already. Just started using WordPress.
This is probably 2 questions. Is there a way to have only say 10 questions show up on the page and based on the answer to the last question, a new page shows up? Somewhat a save and continue type feature. Can one form call another form?
I want to avoid the shock of presenting someone with 43 questions to answer all at once. There are also sections that could be different (shorter or longer) based on answers.
Thank you for such a flexible tool. It seems to have great ability, I'm just struggling to figure out the details.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of the tragic accident in the San Francisco Bay Area that claimed the lives of Matt Peterson and Kristy Gough. These two cyclists were struck and killed by an on-duty county sheriff who fell asleep at the wheel of his cruiser and struck a group of riders head-on.
You can read my original blog posting on the tragedy at:
I think it is important to all of us to revisit what happened on March 9, 2008. It is not going to bring back Kristy or Matt, but hopefully it will remind us all that tragedies like this can happen. Given the circumstances of this particular accident, it is clear that Kristy and Matt couldn't have done anything to avoid being hit. But, it does illustrate the more-than-likely-result of a car/bike collision and stresses that we, as riders, need to do everything we can, within reason, to avoid being hit by a car.
I have written in previous blogs about the importance of riding defensively and anticipating situations where the potential for an accident is significantly increased such as at busy intersections or riding in rush hour traffic. It just makes sense that even though a rider might be in the "right" in a legal sense, taking that right might result in dire consequences.
That doesn't mean that all cyclists should just roll over and allow cars total control. It just means that good judgment goes a long way in avoiding a car/bike accident. Just as we cyclists often remind cars that giving a cyclist their right-of-way only costs them a few seconds, the same applies to cyclists who, in the interest of avoiding an accident, can back off a bit and avoid a dangerous situation from occurring.
Be safe.

The 'New Ways of Working Together' initiative is spawning more productive collaborations between retailers and manufacturers, based on common goals and measures
At the U Connect conference in Dallas earlier this month, Wegmans Food Markets executive Marianne Timmons reminisced about the genesis of "New Ways of Working Together," which has grown to be a global initiative aimed at fostering better retailer-supplier collaboration. It started more than a year ago with a conversation between Danny Wegman, chief executive officer of Wegmans, Rochester, N.Y., and his daughter Colleen Wegman, president of the chain. "We were getting Colleen ready to do a ...

***Showers and Thunderstorms for the East Coast***
***Light precipitation from the Rockies to the Great Lakes***
***Another round of cold weather for the Northern U.S.***
Showers and thunderstorms over the Ohio and Tennessee valleys Sunday afternoon will continue to move north ahead of the weak surface low, while storms continue to develop along the trailing cold front extending back to the western Gulf coast and south Texas.
Ample moisture streaming in from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean may help to produce locally heavy rainfall amounts in some of these storms.
As the system continues to weaken and its upper level remnants drift east, showers and thunderstorms will shift further to the east over the Mid Atlantic and the Southeast on Monday.
High pressure remaining across the Northeast however should keep
much of New England dry through Monday.
From the Pacific Northwest to the upper Great Lakes region, a pattern
change will bring a couple of cold fronts with scattered precipitation
into the northern part of the country. Precipitation will likely fall in
the form of snow across the higher elevations of the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies.
The strongest of the cold fronts is expected to drop into the northwestern U.S. by Tuesday, and this is expected to result in much much colder temperatures to the Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies,
and Northern Plains by late Monday and into Tuesday.
In contrast, it will continue to be hot and dry for the Desert Southwest through Tuesday.

Fri, Apr. 8, 11:17 AM
- The Brazilian markets operator has sold its 4% stake in CME Group (CME -2.7%) in order to raise funds for a potential purchase of rival Cetip.
- Source: FT
- The 13.6M share sale netted about $1.3B for Bovespa.
- A combination of Bovespa and Cetip would create a near-$11B company, and entrench Bovespa as the largest exchanges operator in Latin America. It would also be a windfall for IntercontinentalExchange (ICE -0.1%), a 12.5% owner of Cetip.
- Yesterday's sale brings an end to a near decade-long cross-shareholding agreement between Bovespa and CME, and Bovespa CEO Edemir Pinto has resigned from the CME board. CME continues to hold its stake in Bovespa.
- Now read: CME Group: Where Is The Creativity? Dump The Stock
Mon, Feb. 29, 6:11 PM
- NYSE owner Intercontinental Exchange (ICE -0.6%) is throwing a spanner into plans that the London Stock Exchange (OTCPK:LNSTY -4.5%) has to merge with Deutsche Boerse (OTCPK:DBOEY -3.9%), by exploring its own counteroffer for LSE, Bloomberg reports.
- ICE is reportedly working with advisers including Morgan Stanley to prepare a possible higher offer than the £20B DB-LSE merger of equals.
- The company's unlikely to make a move before a March 22 deadline for Deutsche Boerse to make its formal offer for LSE, a source said.
- It's also prepared for political and corporate resistance. A combined Deutsche Boerse and LSE would better compete with ICE as well as CME Group (CME -1.9%), and give customers a single stop for primary markets in London, Frankfurt and Milan.
- After-hours action: CME flat.
Dec. 3, 2015, 8:16 PM
- CME Group (CME -2.8%) won a legal victory as a judge dismissed a lawsuit charging the futures exchange operator with favoring high-frequency traders.
- In dismissing the action, Judge John Robert Blakey said that three CME customers failed to allege they suffered actual losses on specific transactions from CME policies, or that artificial prices existed at CME Group: "This Court's task is not to adjudicate the fairness or appropriateness of high-frequency trading."
- The three had said that CME Group, the world's biggest futures exchange operator, had enabled a manipulated marketplace by selling high-frequency traders access to market data ahead of others.
Oct. 7, 2015, 9:46 AM
- CME Group (CME +1.9%) is boosted to Buy from Neutral at Bank of America. The $102 price target is about 13% above last night's close.
- Up nicely earlier in 2015, CME is now just modestly in the green year-to-date despite generally rising activity on its exchanges.
Feb. 6, 2015, 12:07 PM
- Most analyst commentary is on the cautious side after CME Group (CME +3.8%) beat on both the top and bottom lines.
- Reiterating his Neutral rating and $90 price target, Credit Suisse's Christian Bolu says operations are strong and expense discipline is there, but all that good stuff has been priced into the stock - now trading at 22x 2016 estimates.
- Raymond James' Patrick O'Shaughnessy voices similar thoughts.
- Also reiterating a Hold is S&P Capital IQ's Kenneth Leon, though he hoists his price target by $10 to $95.
- One bull is Citi's William Katz, who reiterates his Buy rating and $100 price target: 1) Differentiation vs. peers remains robust; 2) CME is the most levered among the exchanges to a pick-up in volatility; 3) Lead indicators are strong; 4) Management is confident on holding the line on expenses; 5) Capital returns - the cash build is better-than-hoped, boding well for a special dividend.

- The joint CME Group/GFI Group (NYSE:GFIG) management bid of $5.85 per share in cash and stock has lost a in a shareholder vote, reports Bloomberg, paving the way for BGC Partners' (BGCP -2.6%) $6.10 all-cash offer.
- GFI management had warned shareholders there was nothing stopping BGC Partners from pulling its offer, and - for now - the stock price is behaving as if this could be so. GFIG is lower by 1.1% to $5.62 per share.
- Previously: GFI Group's Gooch makes another plea (Jan. 29)
Jan. 27, 2015, 1:23 PM
- Writing in his capacity as the controlling stockholder of Jersey Partners, a 36%+ owner of GFI Group (GFIG -2.6%), GFI Group founder and Executive Chairman Michael Gooch tells fellow owners they can opt for a "bird in the hand" - the CME/GFI offer - or hold out for "BGC in the bush."
- Full letter is here
- He notes the GFI management group will only be paid $4.44 for each of their shares sold through Jersey Partners (the CME/GFI offer is for $5.85 in stock and cash).
- BGC Partners' (BGCP -0.7%) $6.10 per share cash offer "remains highly conditional," says Gooch, and - even if BGC reaches the 45% tender threshold - there's no guarantee GFI owners will get $6.10 for their shares.
Jan. 21, 2015, 10:50 AM
- Proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services recommends GFI Group (GFIG +1.8%) shareholders vote against the "economically inferior" offer by CME Group and GFI management of $5.85 in cash and stock. BGC Partners (BGCP +1%) has an offer on the table for $6.10 in cash.
- More from ISS: "It is not at all clear that unaffiliated shareholders incur any greater downside risk in holding out for the economically superior offer from this ongoing bidding war." If owners vote against the CME deal and nothing improves, says ISS, they can always tender their shares to BGC for $6.10.
- The special meeting is set for Jan. 27.
- Previously: BGC Partners boosts GFI Group bid once more (Jan. 20)
Jan. 20, 2015, 12:14 PM
- BGC Partners (BGCP -2.4%) lifts its price for GFI Group (GFIG +5.7%) to $6.10 per share in cash, and extends the expiration date to February 3.
- The price is about 4% higher than the latest cash and stock deal offered by CME Group and GFI management.
- Should GFI accept the deal by midnight tonight, BGC will add another $0.10 per share to its offer.
- GFI is currently trading at $5.91.
Jan. 20, 2015, 8:45 AM
- Responding to BGC Partners' (NASDAQ:BGCP) increase last Thursday, CME Group matches at least on price - $5.85 per share. BGC's bid remains all-cash, while CME's remains a mix of stock and cash.
- Alongside, the GFI management group agrees to forego roughly $40M which would have been payable to it as part of the deal.
- GFIG +3.6% premarket to $5.80.
- Previously: Game on. BGC Partners boosts offer for GFI Group (Jan. 15)
Jan. 15, 2015, 2:35 PM
- BGC Partners' (BGCP -1.9%) new all-cash offer of $5.85 per share is contingent on GFI Group's (GFIG +2.8%) acceptance.
- In addition, BGC makes a non-contingent increase in its all-cash tender offer to $5.75 per share and extends the date of the tender to the close of business on January 29. GFI owners are meeting on Jan. 27 to vote on CME Group's bid, which earlier today - with an assist from GFI Group management - was boosted to $5.60 in cash and stock.
- As of the close yesterday, about 14M shares had been tendered pursuant to BGC Partners' offer. Combined with 17.1M shares of GFIG already owned by BGC, it represents abut 24.4% of GFIG's outstanding shares.
- Previously: CME and GFI management team up to boost buyout price (Jan. 15)
Jan. 15, 2015, 8:54 AM
- Facing an ever-increasing challenge from BGC Partners (NASDAQ:BGCP) to win GFI Group (NYSE:GFIG), CME Group (NASDAQ:CME) and GFI management get together to boost their price to $5.60 per share in stock and cash.
- BGC's latest offer is $5.60 per share in cash.
- GFIG +2.4% premarket to $5.58.
- Previously: BGC Partners ups price for GFI Group (Jan. 13)
Dec. 3, 2014, 10:41 AM
- With both offers for GFI Group (GFIG +5%) now at $5.25, BGC Partners (BGCP -1.7%) CEO Howard Lutnick notes his company's proposal is all cash vs. CME Group's (CME) cash and stock mix.
- "We are currently evaluating our options with regards to the transaction," concludes Lutnick. BGC's tender offer is set to expire at the close of business on December 9.
- Previously: CME boosts offer for GFI Group
Oct. 14, 2014, 9:39 AM
- "Our industry has transformed significantly over the past five years, with the advent of OTC Clearing and other changes," says Executive Chairman and President Terry Duffy. "These staffing changes and other expense control measures we have taken internally will result in decreased costs and reduced management layers, and will help ensure the company's long-term continued growth."
- The move to shave 150 jobs follows September's reorganization of CME Group's (CME +1.8%) management structure.
Oct. 2, 2014, 10:24 AM
- "We are constructive on Nasdaq OMX's (NDAQ +0.3%) progress over many years in creating a lower-risk, high-recurring revenue business model with solid execution, especially in cost management," says analyst Brian Bedell, upgrading to a Buy with price target lifted to $49 from $46. "We see the story as increasingly gaining traction among investors and improving NDAQ's P/E from subdued levels."
- Also boosted to a Buy is IntercontinentalExchange (ICE +1.5%), with price target lifted to $219 from $202.
- CME Group (CME +1.5%), however, is Bedell's top pick in the exchange sector, and he lifts the price target to $95.
- Previously: Brisk September business at CME

'"Fearless' is a word that not too many people can appreciate until they are faced with a situation that calls for an actual fearless act. And Daniel Sheehan, with the resources of government history's most fearless lawyers.
He was fearless from the beginning, when he first learned what the word "political" really meant. At age seventeen, he clashed with Senator Jacob Javitz over an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy. Instead, it went to the son of a major campaign contributor. This teenager would grow up to become a lawyer on some of the most-politically hot cases in a generation: The Pentagon Papers, Watergate, Iran/Contra, among many others.
His memories are both fascinating and horrifying. Fascinating because Sheehan places you directly inside the halls of power, and horrifying for the same reason. "Look, Danny," one House investigator tells Sheehan, "if anyone is so ignorant that he doesn't know that the Central Intelligence Agency has been smuggling heroin from Southeast Asia through Cuba into the United States for decades to secretly finance first the Nationalist Chinese and later their covert operations in Southeast Asia, then that person is too ignorant to function effectively in Washington, D.C." At the same time, Sheehan is told, "Don't make the foolish mistake of trying to tell the American people about the secret history of the United States."
Sheehan resolved to do "everything I could to change that operating principle in Washington."
Beginning with The Pentagon Papersa case that echoes into today's news over the people's right to know what the government is doingSheehan has fulfilled that promise to himself. This memoir takes us directly inside Sheehan's fearless mind." Foresight

Help us to get Nit Nurses back in Nursery and Infants schools.
Please help us get as many signatures as possible to send to the government and request that they consider re-appointing Nit Nurses in schools. I think it would only be required in Infant schools and Primary schools to help stamp out the little critters. My daughter has had them 3 times in the last 4 weeks because teachers are not allowed to tell parents if they think their child has them and also they arent allowed to check and also some parents choose to ignore them or never look to find them. It is free for the treatment of children but it is not free for adults when they catch them off the children. My daughter has had to have a day off school today and fortunately i do not work in the day time at the moment but in the past i have had to use a holiday day for it. Please please help..Thank you.
Is there a cause you really care about? Start a free petition like this one and make a real difference.

From Booklist
"Fans of Old West lore will find The Last Outlaws an absorbing and entertaining read." —USA Today
"The Last Outlaws is extremely well-written and feels more like a novel or work of fiction compared to a factual biography. It's a must read for any fan of the Old West and the outlaw life." —The Desert News
"In this dual biography of celebrated bandits, a specialist in the Old West deftly separates fact from fiction." —Kirkus Reviews
"While not the first or likely the last book to chronicle the colorful lives of outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Hatch has potentially written the most authoritative. Drawing from an impressive number of sources, Hatch's multidimensional study of two of the Wild West's most famous criminals and their compatriots strives for accuracy without sacrificing entertainment value…. [An] immersive and entertaining study."—Publishers Weekly
"Mr. Hatch [is] an accomplished historian with a journalist's eye and a novelist's touch." —The Washington Times
"Hatch achieves what most historical writers fail at, engaging their readers while giving a full-untainted history…. Writing about two of history's biggest outlaws is no small order. But Hatch does so beautifully, creating a vivid image of who these men truly were and what motivated them… Hatch is a skilled and veteran historical writer and his expertise shines through in his latest work." —LatinosPost.com

Indian Stocks Fall the Most in Six Weeks, Tata Steel Leads Drop
India's benchmark stock index fell the most in six weeks as investors judged recent gains may have exceeded the outlook for earnings growth.
Tata Steel Ltd., the nation's biggest producer, dropped the most in four months. Infosys Technologies Ltd., a software services exporter that gets a fifth of its sales in Europe, lost 1.6 percent. The European Central Bank is due to announce its interest rate policy today in Frankfurt.
"We are seeing markets taking a breather after the strong rally," said Shashank Khade, who manages funds for wealthy clients at Kotak Securities in Mumbai. "We will see some more profit-booking as investors take some money off the table."
The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensitive Index, or Sensex, fell 1.1 percent to 20,315.32 at the 3:30 p.m. close in Mumbai. The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange lost 1.1 percent to 6,120.30. The BSE 200 Index dropped 0.9 percent to 2,587.49.
The Sensex has gained 27 percent from a May 25 low, approaching the record closing high of 20,873.33 on Jan. 8, 2008. The measure climbed 12 percent last month, the most since May 2009. Stocks on the Sensex are valued at 19.2 times earnings, compared with 13.6 times for Brazil's Bovespa Index, 8.5 times for Russia's Micex Index and 15.1 times for China's Shanghai Composite Index, among the so-called BRIC markets.
Tata Steel
Tata Steel sank 4.2 percent to 649.7 rupees, its steepest slide since June 7. Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. declined for the first time in six days, losing 1.9 percent to 736 rupees.
Infosys Technologies, India's second-largest software services provider, retreated 1.6 percent to 3,053.45 rupees. Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., the largest software-services exporter, lost 1.1 percent to 948.8 rupees. Wipro Ltd., India's third-largest software-services provider, fell 1.6 percent to 457.7 rupees, retreating from its highest close in more than a decade. The companies get at least 20 percent of their sales in Europe.
The ECB's 22-member Governing Council convenes today in Frankfurt and President Jean-Claude Trichet may comment on the economic outlook at a press conference after its policy decision is announced. Policy makers will set the benchmark lending rate at a record low of 1 percent for an 18th month in the announcement due at 1:45 p.m. in Frankfurt, according to all 52 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.

I'm using custom post types to display properties and have a custom price field assigned to each post. On the property page I want to display a list of four similarly priced properties, two less than or equal to the price of the current property and two greater than the current price. Ordering properties numerically by price is easy enough with wp_query, but how do I only display the closest values to the price of the current property?
One possibility is a direct SQL query similar to the one given here.
But I'm not convinced that it would be much more efficient than 2 queries, all handled by WordPress:

Australian Data Overstated Nation's Mining Boom, RBA Paper Says
Australian government statistics on business investment plans have overestimated the extent of the nation's mining boom since 2010, a central bank research paper showed.
"Forecasts derived from the capital expenditure survey must be interpreted with a fair degree of caution," economists Natasha Cassidy, Emma Doherty and Troy Gill wrote in a report published today in the Reserve Bank of Australia's quarterly bulletin. They were referring to the quarterly survey data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
"If used on their own, the cap-ex expectations data have tended to overpredict the upswing in mining investment over the past two years," the authors wrote. "This may be because the mining projects under way are large and complex in nature -- particularly the projects in the Liquefied Natural Gas sector -- and there have been unanticipated delays in work on these projects."
Central bank Governor Glenn Stevens last month predicted the resource boom has at least another year to run before it begins to ease. While a pipeline of projects to meet demand for energy and resources from China has fueled Australia's economy in recent years, falling commodity prices this quarter and an elevated currency have prompted the deferral of some projects.
Business investment accounted for about 17 percent of Australia's gross domestic product in the first half this year and is forecast to increase further in the next year, driven by mining projects, according to the RBA paper.
Investment Plans
Australian companies forecast investment of A$181.5 billion ($190 billion) in the year ending June 30, which was 4.7 percent higher than their estimate three months earlier, second-quarter business investment data released Aug. 30 showed.
Mining investment was estimated at A$119 billion, little changed from A$119.3 billion three months earlier.
A separate paper released in the quarterly bulletin said Australia is "well placed" to retain its position as the largest iron-ore supplier to China in coming years, mainly because of the relatively low cost of extraction in the country.
China's "residential construction is projected to remain at a high level for the next couple of decades," RBA economists Leon Berkelmans and Hao Wang wrote. "Steel consumption in this sector is expected to be boosted further by demand for higher quality buildings."

Thanks for your comment, Val; I really apreciated! Btw, if I may add a little comment to your description: I think u forgot the 'brave' part of the House of Feanor! (sorry, couldn't help myself! hehe)
As for the rest, what can I say? U must have an opinion, right? I don't care what is it, you're all welcomed to post here! But, if u need a push, I'll go first ...
Why do I like the Noldor that much? IMHO, they are the most creative Eldar; they did learn mostly from Aule, after all!!! Also, their nature was creative too ...
Of course, my favourite House of the Noldor is Feanor's! I subscribe to what Val had to say about them, yet I think he left out some other characteristics: self determination, strong will, eagerness and courage.
The House of Fingolfin is almost as great as the first one; it gave true leaders (Fingolfin, Fingon, Turgon and Gil-galad - all of them High Kings of the Noldor!), but it also gave hope (don't forget that Earendil is the son of Idril, Turgon's daughter!).
Two of my dearest characters belong to the House of Finarfin: Finrod and Galadriel. They are the wisest Noldor and Felagund is the sincerest friend Men ever had!
My favourite Elf: Feanor! Why? Just read the chapters concerning him, in the Silm! (especially chapter 6)
My favourite city: Tirion upon Tuna! It is the fairest city of the Elves! Oh, yea ... Gondolin's great, too, but stiil just an image of Tirion!
OK, done! I'm expecting your posts now!

if i change those two $2 to $1, the redirect errors stops, and the home page loads - but other things break, like the subsites' css and scripts won't load. i dodn't even explore farther to see what else might be messed up,
is there something wrong with my htaccess?
i don't have the main site in a sub-directory if that matters.

AES E-Library
Testing and Adjusting Speaker Installations with the Sound-Survey Meter
Sound-level measurements in rooms containing speaker systems provide interesting and important data not obtainable from electrical measurements or listening tests alone. This paper discusses techniques of obtaining relatively smooth and reproducible -requency-response curves under typical home room conditions, using a new ultra-miniature sound-level meter. Curves thus taken will be presented for an adjustable bass reflex unit with and without absorbent material.

My current setup is Ubuntu Desktop, running Apache + MySQL + PHP stack. I use this image to host my small website to the outside world.
I want to now run a virtual machine on the box, that will act as the FreeNAS box for my internal network. This sounds like a bad idea if the website gets hacked/attacked. Should I just give up and grab a dedicated machine instead? Can I instead virtualize the web server and NAS side by side on this machine?

Success of the 'hider' strategy in ungulates depends, in part, on the mother's ability to minimize information she transmits about her young's hiding place while remaining close enough to distract or drive away a predator. We predicted that pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) mothers should: (1) maintain minimum distances from their hidden fawns sufficient to cause the expected energy gain for a ground predator, systematically searching around the mother, to fall below that expected when searching for some other prey; (2) orient the axes of either head or trunk towald the hidden fawn no more frequently than would be expected by chance; (3) schedule behavior so that no activity is more likely than another to occur when a visit to the hidden fawn is imminent. At the National Bison Range, where coyote (Canis latrans) predation on pronghorn fawns is frequent, pronghorn mothers conform to predictions (1) and (3), but not (2). Within the first 10% of their time away from fawns, mothers reached an average distance of 70.4 m from their fawns' biding places and remained at that distance until 95% of their time away was clapsed. At this mother-fawn distance a coyote, using the mother's position to begin a systematic search for the fawn, and searching at a rate of 4 m2/s, would gain energy at a lower rate than it would hunting ground squirrels (Spermophilus columbianus). Mothers pointed both head and trunk toward their hidden fawns more frequently than would be expected by chance and coyotes, able to use this information to establish a 90° quadrant to search, could expect rates of gain higher than those obtainable in 360° search. Mothers especially tended to orient both head and trunk toward their fawns when standing or moving. Coyotes that begin a 90° search based on the mother's head or trunk position only when mothers were standing or moving, could expect rates of energy gain almost double those expected in 360° search or ground squirrel hunting. Maternal activities (stand, feed, recline, or move) were distributed evenly across all mother-fawn distances and across percent total time away from the fawn. Thus, activity was not a good predictor of a mother's likelihood of soon returning to her fawn. Mothers also remained away from their fawns long enough to cause the expected rate of energy gain for a coyote hiding and watching for the mother's return to the fawn to fall well below the rate expected for searching or ground squirrel hunting.

2003 Caldecott, Newbery Book Medals Announced
Awards Honor Best Written, Illustrated Children's Books
In top awards given annually to children's book writers and illustrators, Crispin: The Cross of Lead, by Avi, received the Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. And My Friend Rabbit, illustrated and written by Eric Rohmann, received the Caldecott Medal, for the most distinguished American picture book for children.
Crispin: The Cross of Lead, published by Hyperion Books for Children, is a saga set in 14th-century England. The book's 13-year-old title character finds himself suddenly orphaned and homeless, accused of murder and wanted dead or alive. The book follows Crispin and Bear, a juggler who befriends him.
In announcing the award, the Newbery judges commend author Avi for creating "a plot that sustains tension and suspense from beginning to end, while seamlessly weaving in details of daily medieval life."
Rohmann's picture book My Friend Rabbit is published by Roaring Brook Press/ Millbrook Press. When the character Mouse shares a new toy airplane with his friend Rabbit and the toy lands in a tree, Rabbit mounts a rescue attempt that the Caldecott judges call "disastrous, but hilarious."
The Caldecott panel praises the book as "a lighthearted celebration of a friendship that will last," and singles out the book's illustrations as a "dramatic visual romp (in which) the characters tumble and spill from the page and back on again."

New crucial theoretical investigations on the origin of biomolecular chirality are reviewed briefly. With the goal to investigate these theories our team is going to perform the `chirality-experiment' in the near future with cometarymatter. In 2012 the robotical lander RoLand will detach fromthe orbiter of the ROSETTA spacecraft and set down on the surface of comet 46P/Wirtanen in order to separate andidentify cometary organic compounds via GC-MS in situ.Chiral organics will be separated into their enantiomers by application of 3 capillary columns coated with different kindsof stationary phases. Non-volatile compounds like amino acidswill be derivatized in especially developed gas phasealkylation steps avoiding reactions in the liquid phase. Theresults of these preliminary gas phase reactions are presentedin this article.

Chow Coco Au Revoir
posted by March 1 at 10:13 AMon
Esteemed local pastry chef Sue McCown has abruptly called it quits on Coco La Ti Da, the "dessert restaurant and lounge" she opened at 806 East Roy St (across from the Harvard Exit) last November.
As McCown tells the Seattle Times, the whole Coco La Ti Da endeavour was under the gun from the start. "I started the business undercapitalized," says McCown, who admits "mistake [were] made." (Some would say the name was the first one, being more suitable to a drag queen one would run from than a dessert bar one would visit.)
Here's Stranger writer Angela Garbes' welcome-to-the-neighborhood column on the now-defunct dessertery.
RIP Coco La Ti Da.

Bright Eyes -- Austin, TX
Thanks so much to +Sam Levin for getting me media credentialed for +Coachella this year. I'm super excited to be heading down there next month to shoot with so many super cool people including my good pal +Robert Scoble, +Brian Solis +Chris Voss +Jen Friel +Daniel Brusilovsky and more for +Harman Kardon
I took this photo of the Bright Eyes at ACL. I love shooting bands and can't wait to get down their to shoot live music next month. So many great bands to shoot!!! http://goo.gl/9rKGw
Congrats to my pal +Richard Binhammer on the launch of his new blog and communications business this morning. http://richardbinhammer.com/
For those of you who don't know Richard, he worked at Dell for many years and helped provide a very authentic and human voice there.
Interestingly the first blog post on his new blog is from +Jeff Jarvis the man behind one of Dell's biggest PR crises back in 2005. "With Richard's hard work, experience, and credibility, Dell rose from worst to first in the estimation of a skeptical net. He helped establish a social-media war-room that became the envy and object of study of many other corporations."
I took this shot a few years ago of Richard on a great photowalk in Austin. He's a great photographer who posts photos here on G+ and Flickr as well.
