First year living at the cabin on the lake, fall of 1986 North Nikiski, Alaska
This first appeared in Sept of 2011 and I have requests for a rerun. I hope you enjoy it!
Circa 1998, 1999
North Nikiski, Alaska
Bob needed an economical car to go back and forth to work as a carpenter for Unocal. He spotted a two door Ford Escort at the old Unocal camp across from the plant. He asked around to see if it was for sale and if it ran. It was and it did. He bought it for $50.
April, 2011, North Nikiski, Alaska
We live on a side of a hill about hundred feet from an 8 acre lake. Any "goings-on" noise on the lake travels up the hill. We know when the loons are landing in the spring by their songs and loud splashdown and the mama ducks and their babies talking to each other. We also know when momma Moose and her baby go down to the lake for a drink and a swim, as we hear the splash and see the big ripples in the lake. If anyone is in a boat out in the middle of the lake fishing, watch out, we know what you're talking about too!

Canning hooligan — my first attempt at canning anything! 1969-1970
Iwas about to get my first lesson on pressure canning. Richard and I had gotten some hooligan (a small herring-like fish that comes up Cook Inlet in the spring. You catch them in a net). We went to Rig Tenders Dock very early in the morning and immediately had our net full.
Nikiski, Alaska
A long time ago when Nikiski was called North Kenai in the 60s the Hunger Hut Bar was owned by Frank and Elsie Moore. It was two trailer houses, put together, one for the bar and one for the "backroom" where Elsie cooked on a big stove. It also had sleeping quarters.

I am looking at this page ( http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&x=7&y=17&p1=3198 ) but I can't figure out the answer to this question. Suppose we have a Windows 2003 Server with the latest service pack. Is it still supported?
Windows server 2003 is in extended support. Support will officially end July 14, 2015
From the Microsoft page that you linked to:
SP2 is the final Service Pack available for Server 2003. You will lose support when Server 2003 as a platform is no longer supported. It was released on 3/30/2005 so it has mainstream support until 3/30/2010. You will have to deal with the extended support restrictions through 3/30/2015.
Here's the feature matrix for the extended support phase:

Life Notes From The Prayer Warrior
posted by January 29 at 9:32 AMon
Is the Prayer Warrior reading the Slog?
Dear Prayer Warrior,
First, I want to thank Josh Feit of the Stranger and King county executive Ron Simms [sic] for their debate last year. It has been a catalyst to jump start my initiative.
The second thing is to pray for the person who busted out my window at church yesterday. It seems that the homosexual community does not know how to practice what they preach when it comes to tolerance.

Sentinel Commentary
I am a federal employee and I am not overpaid. And by the way, neither are Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen or Marines.
Now it may seem as if these are simple (and obvious) statements for me to write, but more and more, they're statements that I don't see or hear in the debate over federal and military salaries.
As things stand, the president has directed that the federal pay scale be frozen for the next two years, and there's been talk in Congress about freezing military pay as well. Some advocates have even called for pay cuts to federal and military salaries. In both cases, the common criticism seems to be that with the inclusion of health, housing and other benefits, federal and military workers are grossly overpaid compared to the rest of the nation.
With all due respect to the people on the other side of the debate, that's just wrong. While I could fill a book with all of the reasons that I believe federal and military personnel aren't being overpaid - my chapter on the need for healthcare benefits for a workforce that regularly puts itself in harm's way would be quite long - I'll stick to three points.
First and foremost, the truth is most of us don't make all that much. Before taxes, the 2011 basic pay salary range for the military goes from $1,467.60 per month for a private with less than two years of experience to $18,936.90 for a four-star general with more than 30 years of service. For federal workers, the pre-tax basic pay range goes from $17,803 per year for a GS-1 (step 1) to $129,517 for a GS-15 (step 10). Now don't get me wrong, at the highest levels, the pay can be substantial.
However, I can safely state that the bulk of the military is not made up of four-star generals and the federal service is not loaded with Step 10 GS-15s. As with most organizations, there are a few at the very top, some more at the very bottom and the majority are scattered throughout the middle.
Secondly, there's the question of benefits. Without writing a dissertation on the military and federal benefit systems, I'll point out that every benefit we receive as federal and military personnel is paid for and earned, not given.
Whether that's medical benefits due to the substantial risk of traumatic injuries or housing benefits due to having to relocate our Families across the country due to orders, every benefit is a direct result of the work we all put in to complete our mission of keeping America safe.
As far as our retirement benefits go, those are earned over a minimum of 20 years of service for servicemembers and 30 years of service for federal employees, and should never be discounted or disregarded. Lastly, and this is especially true of the military, there is no clocking out from work in our profession. For the majority of people in the civilian sector, once they leave for the day or go on vacation, work ends.
That's not the case for military and federal workers. As servicemembers and government employees, we must always be ready to do our duty with the knowledge that our work can take us far away from home and those we love at a moment's notice. We know that the call to action can come anywhere, anytime and that there is no such concept as "unavailable." And unlike other jobs, our "office" isn't a static place. One day, we can be in an air-conditioned room; the next we can be in a tent in a remote forward operating base or on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula. For the majority of us who serve our country, what we do for a living isn't just our job - it's our life. Which is why, unlike other jobs, our profession can kill us.
I used to wear the uniform for my country; now I wear a suit and tie. In neither of these roles have I lived the life of luxury; in neither of these roles have I been rich. I've only ever made enough to have a decent living - that's it. So while I understand that the debate should be made, I can't support any argument that says I am overpaid for what it is that I do. Now if you want to talk about a raise, however, that's a different story.

Haunted Legends by Ellen Datlow and Nick Mamatas, eds.
Tor Hardcover
347 pages
Summer is over and the nights are getting longer and colder. While for some this is cause for melancholy, there is one consolation: Halloween is right around the corner. Like many of my fellow SFFWorld community members, the approach of All Hallows' Eve puts me in the mood for stories that chill the bones. So when I had a chance at snagging a review copy of Haunted Legends, Ellen Datlow (The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror) and Nick Mamatas's (Clarkesworld) new anthology of brand new tales inspired by ghost stories and local legends, you better believe I jumped at it.
What struck me most as I read Haunted Legends were its dual themes: after all, ghost stories and local legends, while often overlapping, are nonetheless two different types of tales. Although Haunted Legends mixes things up a bit, for the most part the first half of the book contains ghost stories and the second half contains local legends, and this grouping, whether intentional or not, really highlights the differences between the two genres.
The ghosts in ghost stories frequently haunt not just places, but people, serving as metaphoric projections of the main characters' memories, guilts, fears, and hopes. I have a great affection for the genre of the psychological ghost story, with Henry James's The Turn of the Screw and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House ranking among my favorites. Haunted Legends features several stories of this type, including Richard Bowes's "Knickerbocker Holiday," Kit Reed's "Akbar," Ekaterina Sedia's "Tin Cans," John Mantooth's "Shoebox Train Wreck," Carolyn Turgeon's "La Llorona," Gary A. Braunbeck's "Return to Mariabronn," and M.K. Hobson's "Oaks Park." Not a bad story in the lot, with the right kind of eeriness that is scary and beautiful at the same time. Yet I have to admit that the sheer number of tales employing this motif not only undermined the effectiveness of the stories as a whole but also made them too predictable. Only a few paragraphs into a new tale I could ask myself, "What's the ghost now?" A mother's misery over the loss of her child? an old man's guilt over someone he killed? and find that this was indeed the case. Stories that meet my expectations might make me feel smart, but stories that confound my expectations are the truly memorable ones, and not enough of the psychological ghost stories in this collection confounded expectations.
A ghost story in Haunted Legends notable for departing from this convention is Stephen Dedman's "For Those in Peril on the Sea," which is a promising take on the ghost ship and paranormal investigator (kinda – the tale's characters are contestants in a Fear Factor type show) genres but feels incomplete, as if Mr. Dedman had the makings of a novella but chose to end it after twenty pages. The virtues and shortcomings of these stories reveals a kind of catch twenty-two for the genre in short story format: Mr. Dedman's type of story is more effective in the longer form, I think, because it affords the author sufficient time to develop the characters and explore the haunted space, whereas the psychological ghost story, by focusing mainly on a single haunted character, can accomplish all it needs in fewer words, but when bundled with several stories of a similar vein, comes across as formulaic.
Fortunately Datlow and Mamatas mix things up a bit by adding tales inspired by local legend; these were the stories that I ended up enjoying most in Haunted Legends. Many local legends are ghost stories, but unlike the ghost stories created within a single author's imagination, their genesis is often fragmentary and obscure, and they typically involve supernatural creatures of inhuman aspect, making them less prone to being reduced to a psychological metaphor. If anything, local legends confound more than they explain. Historians and folklorists, such as the narrator in Caitlín R. Kiernan's excellent vampire tale "As Red as Red," research these legends and offer theories to explain their origins and staying power, but nonetheless something inexplicable remains. I mean, what the heck is the Jersey Devil or the Big Bird of Texas, anyway?
The authors in this collection who draw upon local legends succeed because they do not try to demystify them, but instead use them as inspiration for tales of peoples' reactions to encounters with the truly strange, and I believe this strategy offers them a greater amount of freedom to exercise their imaginations, providing a much more diverse array of tales. Carrie Laben's "Face Like a Monkey," Jeffrey Ford's "Down Atsion Road," and the four stories that close the collection, Laird Barron's "The Redfield Girls" (perhaps my favorite in the book, an atmospheric tale about a haunted lake in the Pacific Northwest), Pat Cadigan's "Between Heaven and Hull" (a darkly humorous phantom hitchhiker tale that focuses more on the local legend aspect than the psychological ghost story aspect), Ramsey Campbell's "Chucky Comes to Liverpool" (which has more of the cautionary qualities of an urban legend than your typical local legend), and Joe R. Lansdale's "The Folding Man" (a black horse/carriage/car/van legend that is a must-read for anyone who enjoyed Lansdale's "Bubba Ho-Tep") are one-of-a-kind tales that I suspect will haunt me for some time to come.
The remaining tales, including "That Girl" by Kaaron Warren, "The Spring Heel" by Steven Pirie, "Fifteen Panels Depicting the Sadness of the Baku and the Jotai" by Catherynne M. Valente, "Following Double-Face Woman" by Erzebet YellowBoy, and "The Foxes" by Lily Hoang, tend to walk the line between the two genres, generally channeling local legends through the psyches of the stories' central characters. While I found these meldings to be interesting, the psychological element tended to dominate the narrative so much they were virtually indistinguishable from many of the ghost stories.
The bottom line? Haunted Legends is an entertaining collection of stories from an impressive list of authors worth checking out if you enjoy a creepy tale during the reaping season. I recommend it, but add this caveat: this is a collection that is probably best savored in bits and pieces, because if you just read straight through it like I did, the sameness of many of the earlier tales may reduce your overall appreciation of them.

Upcoming Schedule Oct. 20 at UC Santa Barbara 8 p.m. Oct. 22 at Cal Poly 2 p.m.
2000 Aggie Records Overall: 3-9 Big West: 1-2 Home: 1-5 Away: 2-4
THIS WEEK The Aggies take to the road to face two more conference opponents in UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine. USU will play the Gauchos Fri., Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. and then take on the Mustangs Sun., Oct. 22 at 2 p.m.
NEXT WEEK Utah State returns to Logan for its final two home games of the 2000 season. The Aggies will host conference foes Pacific Fri., Oct. 27 at 4 p.m., and Long Beach State, Sun., Oct. 29 at noon.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT UC Santa Barbara is 6-8-1 this season (1-3 in conference), including a 5-3-1 record at home. The Gauchos are coming off two conference losses over the weekend as they fell to both Idaho (3-1) and Boise State (1-2). All-time Utah State is 2-2 against UCSB. The teams have split the last two meetings as Utah State was victorious in 1998 (3-1), and the Gauchos came out on top in last season's meeting, winning 2-1.
Cal Poly (7-6-1 overall, 2-2 in conference) split the past weekend's games shutting out Boise State (1-0) Friday, before falling to Idaho (1-0) in overtime Sunday afternoon. USU is 1-3 all-time against the Mustangs. The Aggies one victory came last season when senior Heather Cox scored the game-winning goal in overtime to put USU on top 4-3.
Senior Jayme Gordy (Cheyenne, Wyo.) scored USU's only goal of the weekend in the Aggies 2-1 loss to UC Irvine Sunday. Gordy's goal is her third of the season and the 33rd of her career.
Senior Michaela Hawes (St. George, Utah) recorded a season-high 10 saves during the UC Irvine game.
Sophomore Katie Seaman (Taylorsville, Utah) turned in her first assist of the season, helping Gordy on USU's lone goal against UC Irvine.
Senior Marnie Bartelson (Coupeville, Wash.) ranks ninth in the Big West among individual scorers averaging .75 points per game. She is also tied for sixth in the conference in goals on the year (4), and 11th in points for the season (9).
Freshman Ally Clegg (Bountiful, Utah) ranks 12th among individual scorers in the Big West averaging .67 points per game. Clegg is also tied for fifth in the conference in assists with four.
USU VS. UC IRVINE GAME RECAP USU's women's soccer team fell to UC Irvine 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Tower Field. "We have got to come out and be pumped up," said head coach Stacey Enos. "Our pre-game was not inspirational. We didn't seem enthused and I thought we came out with some reservations." Utah State opened the game playing tentativly and UC Irvine used that to its advantage and scored in the 10th minute of play. UCI freshman Lachelle Manzano found the net from 15 feet out on a dead center shot at the 9:10 mark. Utah State battled and got off six shots on goal in the first half but could not score and went into the half trailing 1-0. During the second half USU came out more aggressive and the teams held each other scoreless for 35 minutes. Senior Jayme Gordy broke open the scoring at 81:47 as she headed in a ball off a corner kick from sophomore Katie Seaman to tie the game. The game did not remain tied for long as UCI's Ariana Downs headed in a shot of her own from five feet out off a pass from Melody Mangrallo at 82:57 to give the Anteaters the win. "I liked that we scored with ten minutes left," said head coach Stacey Enos. "I am bummed that we let them score, that goal was preventable."

Health Science Center's first endowed professorship in surgery is named for Lloyd S. Rogers, M.D.
The State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse has named its first endowed professorship in surgery for Lloyd S. Rogers, M.D., the first full-time faculty member in the Department of Surgery.
Dr. Rogers, came to Syracuse in 1953 to be chief of surgery at the Veteran's Administration (VA) Hospital and assistant professor at the College of Medicine. He was named full professor in the College of Medicine in 1965, and held numerous leadership posts at both the Syracuse VA and Health Science Center Department of Surgery, where he was acting chairman from 1967 to 1970; director of general surgery from 1967 to 1977. He stepped down from his VA post in 1981 and served as vice chair of surgery at the Health Science Center from 1982 to 1985, when he retired as professor emeritus.
Dr. Rogers' leadership and experience was not limited to the Syracuse area: He founded and served as president of the Association of VA Surgeons; served on a National Institutes of Health Surgical Study Section from 1963 to 1968 and was program director of a NIH cancer training grant from 1967 to 1977.
In 1991 Dr. Rogers received the Health Science Center President's Distinguished Service Award.
Dr. Rogers resides in Syracuse.
To contribute to the Lloyd S. Rogers, M.D., Endowed Professorship in Surgery, contact Director of Medical Alumni Carole Novick, at 315-464-4361.

When turning on my pc or waking it from sleep it will intermittently fail and has been increasingly getting more frequent. It seems like a normal boot but nothing will display and it will just stay in this state until I hold down the power key, then causing it to shut down for about a second before it powers back up again automatically returning to its previous state. The reset button doesn't do anything when its in that state either.
When it does turn on it is fine until shut down, have had it on for days at a time without a problem, running benchmarks, playing games etc.
My specs are:
Motherboard: msi P67A-GD65 B3
CPU: i5-2500K 3.30GHz
RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX 2x4GB
GPU: Tried both a XFX HD 5870 and a msi GTX 680 Twin Razor
PSU: BeQuite Dark Power Pro 850w
All the current parts are under a year old with the latest firmware with the exception of the PSU which I don't remember when I got, probably over 4 years ago though.
I've tried without anything essential plugged in, including hard drives, DVD drive but it has made no difference. Also tried plugging in a speaker to see if there were any beeps but the speaker either doesn't work or there are no codes output.
Trying out both sticks of ram on their own in the first slot reduced the frequency of the failures but neither removed the problem and I haven't noticed any damaged capacitors on the motherboard.

I've been handed a Sony Vaio about 3 years old, with the model number PCG-6H8P, and I need the drivers for it.
According to Sony, the laptop doesn't exist. According to Google, the laptop doesn't exist. It was purchased in Australia, and I can guarantee that the laptop exists.
Any ideas on where I can get more information for it? I've been doing this for years and I've never run across anything like it.
(p.s. I've already tried all my favourite driver-updater software, and all they could recognise was the wifi driver)

As you all know Chef Jacob's Show " Aaha Enna Rusi" is a popular one on SUN TV
A city-based chef has entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for doing the longest barbeque cooking of Indian dishes.
For achieving the feat, Jacob cooked around 485 dishes in a span of 24 hours since Sunday morning, Guinness World Records Adjudications Department Head Lucia Sinigaleisi told reporters.
Jacob said his "passion" to make different dishes made him to achieve the feat. "Right from my childhood I wanted to make various dishes and that passion made me to do this feat," 34-year-old Jacob, a gold medallist in catering technology and working as freelance consultant to five city-based star rated hotels said.
"I came to know that such an achievement was not made in this sector. I sought Guinness World Records team to get their approval in December and when I started cooking yesterday, they were monitoring", he said.
Of the total 485 dishes he cooked, around 150 were non-vegetarian dishes.
Jacob said his next move was to break his own record. "I want to break my own record. If someone breaks it, then I will try to create a new record," he said.
State Information Minister Parithi Illamvazhuthi presented the Guinness Certificate to Jacob.
The dishes made were distributed to various orphanages and old age homes

Every time I meet this chef, I am amused at the things he has just achieved and the scores of others he has up his sleeve. But this time I write this in complete awe of the man who has joined the Guinness hall of fame.

I am so ridiculously excited. I did a double-take when I saw the poster for this up on a telephone pole near my house.
Zidane's straight GANGSTA!
Nice summary of a hard-to-describe film. I found the Mogwai score really relaxing.
Holy fucking shit -- "disappeared into alcoholic obscurity?" Are you kidding me?!?!?
George Best never disappeared into obscurity. His talents waned, but he continued to be a highly visible and beloved fixture in football and pop culture and, when he died, was sent off to football heaven with a state funeral at Stormont (look it up) and hundreds of thousands of mourners lining the route.
God bless Bestie, and he will NEVER be obscure, Jen.
Jubilation, chill. Best stopped playing when he was 27. He was celebrate at his death for the talents he'd displayed in decades long-gone. You're a good fan, though.
Jen, I am chill -- forgot to put my heater on last night. And yes, I need to be nicer to my favorite art maven.
But still, as a journalist of all things, you should know that George was never obscure. He was always in the press -- for better or worse.
I do not argue he was self-destructive and his talents ended in a bottle of plonk, but "obscure?" Never.
Good day to you, madame.
"In retrospect, Zidane becomes unintentionally loaded, like the mundane details of a school shooters life."
This is also BS. Zidane is far more noteworthy for being ONE OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALLEURS OF ALL TIME then he is head butting Materazzi. Except of course, to you.

Credit Union Savings Accounts
Credit union savings accounts or money market accounts that are offered by credit unions. Many Americans enjoy performing their banking transactions with credit unions as they are technically member-owned and may have branches close by. You will find a map with all credit unions that are close to you here. It is important to note that most credit unions do have limited fields of membership – you must be a resident of a certain area or have a family member who was employed by a certain company. To understand the difference between a bank or credit union, click here.
Credit union savings and money market accounts ordinarily bear all of the same advantages and disadvantages as savings accounts, except insurance is provided by the National Credit Union Administration instead of the FDIC. Most, but not all, credit unions listed on BestCashCow are NCUA insured. You should confirm that the credit union that you are working with is NCUA insured by visiting that institution's BestCashCow page (NCUA coverage is detailed on the overview tab). The NCUA provides coverage in amounts and terms that are very similar to, although not identical to that provided by the FDIC. BestCashCow strongly recommends that you deposit money only in NCUA insured credit unions and that you stay within insured limits. If you are considering depositing over $250,000 at a single NCUA-insured credit union across products (share certificates, time deposits, etc.) or across types of ownership (individual, joint, etc.) you should use the NCUA's Share Insurance Toolkit in order to be sure that you are not exceeding coverage limits .
One other difference is that small credit unions often lack robust online banking features. If you are interested in online banking, be sure to ask your credit unions about the online and mobile services they offer.

In a cohort of 5,201 women [72.3 ± 5.3 years] from 58 primary care centers in Spain, followed for three years, no relationship between heel QUS parameters and overall mortality was found. However, a significant relationship between a low speed of sound (SOS) and vascular mortality was observed.
An inverse relationship between mortality and bone mineral density measured by dual-energy absorption densitometry or quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS) has been described. The aim of the present study was to test this relationship in the ECOSAP cohort, a 3-year prospective study designed to assess the ability of heel QUS and clinical risk factors to predict non-vertebral fracture risk in women over 64.
A cohort of 5,201 women [72.3 ± 5.3 years] was studied. QUS was assessed with the Sahara® bone sonometer. Women attended follow-up visits every 6 months. Physicians recorded if the patient died and cause of death. Hazard rates (HR) of all-cause and vascular mortality per one standard deviation reduction in QUS parameters were determined.
One hundred (1.9%) women died during a median of 36.1 months follow-up, for a total of 14,999 patient-years, 42 because of vascular events (both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular). After adjusting for age, none of the QUS variables showed statistically significant differences between the patients who died and the survivors. In the final multivariate model, adjusted for age, current thyroxine and hypoglycaemic drug use, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and decreased visual acuity, SOS was marginally non-significant: (HR: 1.19; 0.97–1.45). However, each 1 SD reduction in SOS was associated with a 39% increase in vascular mortality (HR: 1.39; 1.15–1.66).
In our cohort, SOS was related with vascular mortality, but not overall mortality.

1 Question - What Would You Like to See as the Future of Practice for Enduro Racing?
Personally i love the feeling of not knowing shit about what's coming next on the trail, because you have to come up whit something to adapt to the situation. Of course a little practice won't hurt anybody and there is always the local guys who know everything, so my guess is that you can't come up with something completely hermetic that nobody knows....i think that jared has a solid point and maybe something like that is the way to go.

Slovenia's parliament started debates Wednesday ahead of a no-confidence vote expected to spell the end of Prime Minister Janez Jansa's one-year-old government.
The motion was filed last week by the main opposition party Positive Slovenia as Jansa's five-way coalition crumbled under his refusal to resign over corruption claims.
The worst political crisis since Slovenia gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, with tens of thousands taking to the streets in recent weeks, comes at a time of serious economic troubles for the small eurozone country, which could soon require bailout of its own, much like Greece, Ireland or Spain.
Wednesday's debates began at 10:00 am (0900 GMT) and were expected to go on for at least eleven hours, with the no-confidence vote expected only in the evening.
Slovenia's most prestigious daily Delo, said the vote of no-confidence was aimed at Janez Jansa as an individual, rather than the government as a whole.
"This session would not be taking place if Jansa could and wished to explain to the anti-corruption commission where he got the (undeclared) money... or if at least he had done the right thing after the commission's report was published," columnist Marko Pecauer said in a front-page editorial.
Opposition and coalition parties called on 54-year-old Jansa to step down after the anti-corruption body found irregularities in his finances in January.
Observers say junior partners would have remained in the coalition if Jansa's Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) had found somebody else to head the government.
But the prime minister's stubborn refusal to resign eventually led to the entire government's downfall as coalition parties abandoned ship in protest, leaving Jansa's centre-right government with just 30 deputies in the 90-seat parliament.
If the no-confidence motion goes through on Wednesday evening, the task to form a new government will go to Positive Slovenia's Alenka Bratusek, who would become Slovenia's first female premier.
A former finance ministry official, she only just took over from Ljubljana mayor Zoran Jankovic, who was forced to resign as party head over corruption claims.
Bratusek's policy plans remain unclear, however, and she has said she will seek a confidence vote after one year, meaning Slovenia could still be headed for early elections.
Two-million-strong Slovenia, once a model EU and eurozone newcomer, is struggling against recession and high unemployment, which have prompted painful and unpopular austerity measures, while its banks are suffocating under a mountain of bad debts.

About six holes into his round at the Division 2 North Sectional Monday, North Andover High senior Jack McKay nearly buckled.
"I'm coming off a double-bogey, headed to one of the toughest, longest par-3s you'll play (236-yard 16th at Hillview Country Club in North Reading), and three groups are stacked up," said McKay. "It's got to be 35 degrees out, and I have to sit in the cold for 20 minutes with nothing to think about but that double."Read More »

Tiger Woods provided a glimpse at his private weekend round of golf with US President Barack Obama, saying on Tuesday that it had been a "pretty cool" experience.
Woods, the first African-American golfer to win a major title from his 1997 triumph at the Masters, and Obama, the first African-American to be elected as US President, teed off together on Sunday at a luxury golf resort in Florida.
"Playing with Mr. President was pretty cool," Woods said. "He's just a wonderful person to be around. And we won."
Woods and Obama defeated US trade representative Ron Kirk and Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, who also owned the resort course where the elite foursome played away from the eyes of the media, who complained about being ditched.
Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the all-time record of 18 major crowns won by Jack Nicklaus, said he was asked to play alongside Obama during an off weekend in his PGA Tour play.
"There's a process that's involved and I was invited to play," Woods said.
"It was an invitation that certainly you don't turn down, especially being he's an avid golfer and so am I."
Woods, who will open against Charles Howell in the World Golf Championships Match Play Championship at Dove Mountain on Wednesday, praised Obama's game.
"He has got amazing touch," Woods said.
"He can certainly chip and putt. If he ever spent, after these four years, more time playing the game of golf, I'm sure he could get to where he's a pretty good stick."
Woods said he had forgotten Obama, known for playing basketball, was a left-hander and noted that they played in breezy conditions.
"We played under some tough conditions, and he hit the ball well," Woods said. "He's a pretty good athlete."

"Going Out" to Capture Belt and Road Opportunities (Expert Opinion 3): Hong Kong as a Fashion Capital
Chinese enterprises are attaching increasing importance to enhancing their product design capability. Notably, the consumers demand for various consumer products and services is on the rise, both in the mainland as well as emerging markets. While their purchasing power still lags behind that of consumers in developed countries, they have their own requirements where product design and service quality are concerned.

"Going Out" to Capture Belt and Road Opportunities (Expert Opinion 1): Key to Risk Management
China has investments all over Europe, the Americas and Asia, covering a wide spectrum. As China gradually extends its outbound investment to countries along the Belt and Road routes, enterprises "going out" may face higher investment risks because the legal environment leaves something to be desired in some of these countries. Strong professional support is clearly imperative.

In contrast to engineering applications, in which the structure of control laws are designed to satisfy prescribed function requirements, in biology it is often necessary to infer gene-circuit function from incomplete data on gene-circuit structure. By using the feed-forward loop as a model system, this paper introduces a technique for classifying gene-circuit function given gene-circuit structure. In simulations performed on a comprehensive set of models that span a broad range of parameter space, some designs are robust, producing one unique type of functional response regardless of parameter selection. Other designs may exhibit a variety of functional responses, depending upon parameter values. We conclude that, although some feed-forward loop models have designs that lend themselves to unique function inference, others have designs for which the function type may be uncertain.

Sponsored forum: Collateral management
Scope for more efficient collateral movement
Custody Risk: Can you provide a specific example of collateral movement?
Sam Jacob: Say we have a large margin call for a buy-side client and that client wants to deliver a piece of collateral that has a T+2 settlement cycle. Once we receive that piece of collateral, we can facilitate the pledging of that collateral without having to go through additional settlement cycles from the buy-side client to the dealer or futures commission merchant, and then on to the CCP. We do not have to wait for additional settlement cycles, so clients do not have to wait for additional settlement cycles to fund liquidity. It is much more efficient than physically moving the collateral across the various market participants.
Custody Risk: What collateral is going to be in the greatest demand, and will the costs of accessing this collateral increase?
Olivier de Schaetzen: We have seen an overall flight to quality in the collateral spectrum – in the securities financing business, repo business and securities lending business. The demand for quality collateral is increasing dramatically, and we are sure we will see more collateral being channelled to CCPs. And, by the nature of their systemic importance, they need to be very careful in terms of collateral profiling. CCPs will limit the eligibility of collateral to the top end of the collateral curve, which will increase pressure on that segment. And there is a growing need for collateral givers that do not hold such assets to find solutions to upgrade the collateral they have in order to reach CCP eligibility levels to fund their activities. As a result, we foresee collateral transformations as being key for some firms. Another aspect to acknowledge is the impact of the recent rating downgrades on sovereign bonds. Downgrades of previously top-quality collateral sovereign bonds are decreasing the size of the pool of eligible collateral, which typically satisfies the criteria for CCP-eligible collateral. So, on one hand, we see a growing demand for collateral and, on the other, a shrinking supply of the right collateral. You don't need to be an economist to understand that the cost of collateral will go up.
Custody Risk: Some people might call it a collateral crunch.
Olivier de Schaetzen: Given the growing need for collateral and the speed of downgrades, there is a risk that top-quality sovereign bonds will be scarce, so there will be a collateral crunch in that specific sector.
David Béatrix: It is going to be gradual because regulations are likely to make high-quality and liquid assets become quite scarce. The overall expected shortage of collateral is linked with European Market Infrastructure Regulation (Emir) and the Dodd-Frank Act, where a lot of collateral, and especially securities, is going to be required to meet those margin requirements and for which reuse is going to be limited, so circulation of collateral is decreasing. The impact of Basel III, especially for derivatives, is likely to make assets less available because banks are going to be required to have more high-quality and liquid assets to meet the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and, therefore, it is also likely to reduce the scope and volume of collateral in circulation.
Custody Risk: What collateral do you think is going to become the best value for money or attract the most demand going forward?
David Béatrix: The government bonds from very highly rated countries are likely to be the most in demand. We have seen historically low yields on those bonds. It means the equation is quite difficult because, if you go away from government bonds, then risk and issuer risk on your collateral increases. And, if you move to cash, then you have asset protection issues. So the equation is difficult to read, but consensus is that government bond issues are going to be a sought-after area.
Custody Risk: How is it going be easier to get hold of eligible collateral?
Sam Jacob: CCPs accept different types of collateral and they are not harmonised across the board, so first we need to realise that not all of the institutions executing OTC trades have the exact type of collateral that is acceptable to every CCP. We are moving from sovereigns to corporates and we will stay within the realm of some corporates that will be utilised in the clearing world. This alternative collateral market will start to take off as more trades move into the cleared space. I believe we are going to see more high-grade collateral, like corporate bonds and other fixed-income instruments, becoming eligible for long utilisation.
Olivier de Schaetzen: There is a need to find ways of accessing the right supply of eligible collateral, for example, highly rated government bonds. We see many firms already trying to tap new sources of collateral in that segment. Finding institutions holding these assets – such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds or central banks – and engaging them to enter into collateral swap agreements will enable firms to swap the collateral they have for CCP-eligible collateral. Such collateral transformations will increase in the future. There is a lot of dialogue now about tapping into new pools of collateral. Because demand will increase, there will be increased opportunities for holders of quality collateral to earn attractive fees when swapping collateral.
David Béatrix: There is the need for greater flexibility in the collateral eligibility matrix. Swapping collateral against other collateral implies that, if you want to make an upgrade transaction, you have got something that is a bit lower grade. If you look at the recent long-term refinancing operation, the European Central Bank has released some of the constraints on the rating criteria of some asset-backed securities transactions. That is not proof, but there is a trend appearing that, given the scarcity of high-grade assets, the eligibility matrix will need to be released at some stage.
Custody Risk: Will the more people you bring into the process – more pension funds and sovereign wealth funds – mean there is going to be more risk in the system?
Olivier de Schaetzen: Obtaining access to high-quality collateral will have a price. The price is the remuneration for downgrading the quality of the collateral giver's overall holdings. It will always be a question of risk/reward. It is true that the holders of government bonds are buying them for their safety, so they are not going to enter into swap transactions where they are massively downgrading their overall holdings. So, collateral transformations with a given counterparty will be limited. On the other side, we could imagine a CCP to marginally – and only marginally – relax its collateral eligibility criteria. As we have seen so many downgrades from some agencies of major countries, CCPs will need to consider whether their collateral criteria of accepting just AAA and even AA+ rated bonds can be amended to take a limited portion of collateral issued by countries that have recently been downgraded to AA.
David Béatrix: If you don't increase the number of high-quality and liquid assets in circulation, you will still have to loosen eligibility rules. And then you have got side effects that are becoming more prominent – you have more volatile collateral, liquidity of collateral and more frequent valuation issues. Operational risk and risk around collateral management is likely to increase with the amount of collateral that is increasing. On one hand, you have the regulators and the IMF, which recommend CCPs should allow for a broad range of collateral and, on the other, the volume of assets available as collateral is not increasing as quickly as collateral is required.
Sam Jacob: Not necessarily and, from an operational perspective, we're not doing anything out of the norms of how we operate today. If a client is holding a particular type of asset and wants to convert it, then there are several mechanisms we can provide to help clients to achieve this. But, from a collateral management perspective, we do not direct clients specifically to which collateral they need to be holding or which mechanism to choose. The eligibility requirements will be established via negotiation with the clearing houses. So the CCPs will determine which type of collateral is required for eligible trades, while the dealers – based on their risk management guidelines and regulations – will determine the type of collateral they will take for non-cleared trades. As it relates to the position that the clients are holding, you either have it or you don't.
