text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 300445 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 1145 PM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 331 PM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 20Z water vapor imagery shows northwest flow persisting over the central plains as a shortwave moves towards IL from the mid MO river valley and high pressure sits along the AZ/UT state line. There does not appear to be an obvious shortwave upstream of the forecast areas the only weak wave seen appears to be over southern Saskatchewan. At the surface, Weak surface ridging over the northern and central plains is gradually weakening with a surface trough stretching from the southern high plains into the mid MS river valley. The forecast for today and tonight is expected to be largely driven by mesoscale considerations since there does not appear to be much in the way of large scale forcing. The isolated showers that have popped up are likely driven by diurnal heating since it is largely occurring on the back side of the shortwave. So this should fall apart by sunset. The main uncertainty in the forecast is what convection off the higher terrain over WY and CO does. Storms are already developing and if a MCV forms, it could cause precip to possibly move across the area overnight. Models prog the low level jet and return flow to focus across the high plains overnight, so any isentropic lift is expected to be focused to the west as well. Nevertheless models continue to show some QPF developing from northwest KS into southern KS through the morning hours Saturday. Because of this, have continued with some low end chances POPs across the southwestern portion of the forecast area. I would expect the high plains convection holding together with some MCV for this to verify. Saturday will depend on what happens overnight and whether there are any boundaries or remnant mid level vorticity in the area. Forecast soundings show little or no inhibition so it is just a question of some lift or weak forcing to spark some convection. At this time have been conservative with the POP forecast since the models have no forcing impacting the area. Lows tonight are forecast to fall into the lower and mid 60s due to reasonable radiational cooling. With the surface ridge axis over the area, winds should remain light and as along as skies clear out the forecast should be in reasonable shape. This brings into question whether there is some ground fog in the area. Storms out west may cast a cirrus shield over the region limiting the fog potential. So with low confidence, have opted to not include any mention of fog and let later shifts monitor the potential. Highs Saturday area expected to be a degree or two warmer than today as heights rise and southerly winds start to advect warmer air north. Temps in the mid to upper 80s are expected for Saturday afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 331 PM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 Late Saturday night into Sunday morning continue to present the most likely wet periods of this forecast. Details in specifics remain, and with little if any upper level support confidence is not high in a widespread rain, but isentropic upglide through much of the mid troposphere increases through the night with good low level convergence as PW values increase to support high chance from southwest to northeast in the overnight into early morning hours. Again hard to completely rule out a few strong to near severe updrafts but scenario remains unfavorable for anything widespread. Could see some training for locally heavy rain as well. Will keep a small pop in the northeast Sunday night with some chance for the elevated baroclinic zone to linger, but the warm and dry air aloft will be moving in from the southwest through the night. Have kept temps near previous levels with highs well into the 90s by Monday and apparent temps near Advisory levels. Tuesday through Friday night time frame will likely be mainly dry with weak unorganized flow aloft and mainly a high pressure ridge in place suggesting a fairly strong EML being advected into the area with generally weak southwest flow aloft. The main belt of the Westerlies will remain along the northern CONUS/Canadian border, so north central and northeastern Kansas will see little in the way of precipitation producing shortwaves with perhaps Friday being the best chance for a minor wave to break down the ridge over the outlook area. Each morning leading up to the Friday time frame will still keep slight chance POPs in place mainly north of I-70 due to potential MCS development and movement into portions of south central and southeast Nebraska with an isentropic response to any potential cold pools working into the region as a result. Should some parcels reach the LFC during this time, there could be a few elevated showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms. It still appears that this ridge will be weaker than the last ridge which brought a heat wave to the region. That being said the heat will still be very noticeable with heat indices into the low to mid 100s especially Tuesday and Wednesday. Overnight lows for the period probably hold in the middle 70s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night) Issued at 1140 PM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 Expect VFR conditions through most of the next 24 hours. There could be some shallow ground fog developing at KTOP around sunrise but should mix out by after 13Z. If cirrus cloud cover moves in then ground fog will not develop. A few model runs show isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms developing around the terminals from the mid morning hours of Saturday into the afternoon hours. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Wolters LONG TERM...Drake/65 AVIATION...Gargan

News Analysis: 'Greedy businesses' and the 'living wage': popular policies, disputed outcomes
If politics make strange bedfellows, Ann Coulter and ACORN are among the strangest. A feisty conservative, Coulter writes red-meat books with titles like "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans." ACORN is a leftist community action group best known for mobilizing low-income voters for President Barack Obama.
One thing they seem to agree on is the "living wage."
"Cheap labor is cheap only for the employer," Coulter recently wrote in a column defending Mitt Romney's stance on illegal immigration. Coulter excoriated business interests for, she said, supporting illegal immigration to keep wages low on the farms, factories and fast-food restaurants. Or as she put it, "greedy businesses making the rest of us support their underpaid employees."
Citing estimates that 70 percent of illegal immigrant households collect government benefits, Coulter argued that the real costs are borne by society in food stamps and other anti-poverty programs. The public is burdened when "employers don't pay them a living wage," according to Coulter.
Intent on defending Romney and opposing illegal immigration, Coulter may not have known that the "living wage" is a rallying cry for liberal anti-poverty activists like ACORN. Essentially a minimum wage on steroids, some form of a "living wage" law is now on the books of more than 140 U.S. municipalities. In most cases, such laws only affect companies that receive direct subsidies or government contracts.
A few cities such as Santa Fe, N.M., and San Francisco impose the rules across the board. These two have of late dueled for the honor of the highest legal wage in the country. Santa Fe this year regained the edge at $10.29 an hour.
The laws are controversial. Some argue a high minimum wage heightens unemployment, while others see the laws as poorly targeted, shifting subsidies to workers who don't need them (teenagers) while doing little for those who do (working moms).
Whatever their actual effects, the living-wage agenda has proven politically durable and potent. It has, as Coulter knows, strong visceral appeal.
Gut-level appeal
In New York, a Sienna College poll released on May 14 found that 78 percent favored increasing the state minimum wage. "Nearly nine in 10 Democrats support it, as do three-quarters of independents and 58 percent of Republicans," said Sienna pollster Steven Greenberg.
In Connecticut, a recent Quinnipiac poll found that 70 percent favored a minimum-wage hike, including 88 percent of Democrats, 69 percent of independents and 48 percent of Republicans.
The Connecticut poll suggests that many of those favoring a minimum-wage hike also suspect that it will result in fewer jobs. When asked if raising the minimum wage would lead small businesses to reduce hiring, 50 percent of respondents agreed.
Disputed jobs impact
"Employers can benefit from paying higher wages," said James Parrott of the Fiscal Policy Institute in New York, who argues that higher minimum wages do not drag down employment. "Longevity and productivity increase, and employers don't need to hire and train as many new workers." Parrott also argues that in low-wage industries such as retail establishments and restaurants, most of the costs are the costs of goods. "Labor costs are just a small fraction of the total," he said.
This relatively new notion that minimum-wage levels can climb without sparking unemployment runs counter to standard economic theory. A landmark 1992 study conducted after New Jersey raised its minimum wage compared fast-food outlets there to those in eastern Pennsylvania. The study found no employment loss. In 2010, a team of prominent researchers compared adjacent counties on state borders where wages differed within a narrow region. They likewise found that higher minimum wages did not hurt employment.

Part of the Jewish Encounter series
Emma Lazarus's most famous poem gave a voice to the Statue of Liberty, but her remarkable life has remained a mystery until now. She was a woman so far ahead of her time that we are still scrambling to catch up with her a feminist, a Zionist, and an internationally famous Jewish American writer before thse categories even existed.
Drawing upon a cache of personal letters undiscovered until the 1980, Esther Schor brings this vital woman to life in all her complexity. Born into a wealthy Sephardic family in 1849, Lazarus published her first volume of verse at seventeen and gained entree into New York's elite literary circles. Although she once referred to her family as outlaw Jews, she felt a deep attachment to Jewish history and peoplehood. Her compassion for the downtrodden Jews of Eastern Europe refugees whose lives had little in common with her own helped redefine the meaning of America itself.
In this groundbreaking biography, Schor argues persuasively for Lazarus's place in history as a poet, an activist, and a prophet of the world we all inhabit today a world that she helped to invent.
About the Author
Esther Schor is the author of "Emma Lazarus", which received a 2006 National Jewish Book Award, and the editor of the" Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley". Her essays and reviews have appeared in the "New York Times Book Review", the "Times Literary Supplement", and "The Forward", among other publications. Her first collection of poems, "The Hills of Holland", was a nominee for the "Los Angeles Times Book Awards". A professor of English at Princeton University, Schor lives in Princeton, NJ.
Praise For…
"Schor brings to life the complicated, passionate woman who left us our proudest national image. A work of great empathy an meticulous historical research."
–Kevin Baker, author of Paradise Alley
"In this luminous, enthralling biography, Esther Schor recovers one of the outstanding women of nineteenth-century letters, who while inventing her life as an American Jewish writer discovered a larger poetic mission for the entire nation."
–Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln
"Esther Schor, herself a poet of authentic distinction, has composed a very moving and highly useful biographical critique of Emma Lazarus, a permanent poet in American and in Jewish tradition."
–Harold Bloom, author of The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages
"It is a rare book indeed that so skillfully melds biography, literary analysis, and cultural history. In describing Emma Lazarus and her circle, Schor tells the story of American Jewry in the nineteenth century, paints a portrait of literary New York in one of its heydays, explicates many beautiful and long-neglected poems, and instills in us a canny affection for a subject who is forceful and sometimes overbearing but also brilliant and compassionate. Schor's prose is as lyrical and rich in images as the poetry she describes in this intimate, often touching volume."
–Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

Brazil Real Strengthens Past BRL2 Against Dollar
SAO PAULO--The Brazilian real gained Monday to the strongest level in more than a month on continued optimism following last week's European summit, and as the prospect of continued intervention by Brazil's central bank to strengthen the real offset concerns about sluggish growth at home and abroad.
The real exited active trading at BRL1.9874 to the dollar, stronger than its previous close at BRL2.0104, and the first time it closed stronger than BRL2 versus the dollar since May, according to Tullett Prebon via Factset.
European markets were broadly higher Monday as the optimism generated by last week's summit of European Union leaders carried over to the start of the second half of the year. The hopeful outlook helped investors to look past some weak economic data, which showed activity at euro-zone factories continue to fall sharply in June, while the currency area's unemployment rate rose to a fresh record high in May.
"Everyone was saying that Spain and Italy were next to fall, but Germany and France decided to help inject liquidity so that what happened to Greece wouldn't happen to them," said Celso Siqueira, fixed-income manager at Sao Paulo brokerage Advanced Corretora.
In Brazil, meanwhile, economists once again reduced their estimates for Brazil growth this year, according to a weekly central bank survey published Monday. Economists expect gross domestic product to expand 2.05% this year, down from 2.18% estimated in the previous survey. Inflation expectations also fell, to 4.93% from 4.95%, reaffirming the view that Brazil's central bank has room to cut rates and stimulate growth as inflation heads toward its target of 4.5%.
The central bank began cutting rates in August, when the benchmark Selic stood at 12.5%, and it is widely expected to cut the rate by half a point next week to 8%. Economists surveyed by the central bank expect the Selic to end this year at 7.5%.
Falling rates reduce the appeal of Brazil, which in the past attracted heavy inflows as investors borrowed at near-zero rates abroad to snap up higher-yielding Brazilian assets.
To counter the weakening of its currency, Brazil's central bank has been stepping up intervention in the market, holding auctions to put more dollars in the market. Last week, the bank held three swap auctions, selling the equivalent of $9 billion in contracts.
Although $3 billion of those were to replace expiring contracts, the rest was new money, serving as "a clear signal" to some analysts that the government will prevent any weakening of the real beyond the level of BRL2.10 to the dollar, which it touched last week.
"The previous time we hit BRL2.10 per dollar, the central bank carried out $16 billion in auctions, and the real climbed back to less than BRL2 per dollar," Mr. Siqueira said in a phone interview. "Last week, they carried out several auctions, injecting almost $10 billion in the swap markets, and that was reflected in the market."

Let me state the problem. My ISP provides a 60mbps connection to my place. The router is set to abgn mode (to support older devices to) and runs on 2.4GHz.
I've got few devices that are connected to that network and some of them do support at least 802.11n standard. Below are speedtest results for them:
There's no way I could get anywhere near the speeds of my Mac on my PC if it comes to the connection. It's always around 20mbps. I did try with different USB WiFi cards (both from TPLink in 802.11n standard) but it was the same.
Wireless Network Connection Status states that it's connected with Speed 130.0 Mbps:
Any ideas?

I am implementing a little extension for an existing application. Now I am creating a 'wpf-library' with mvvm and everything seems quite nice at the moment.
Now let's say I have an event to delete some datasets from the underlying Database. I don't want to do this in my extension-app but in the calling-application.
So what I have achieved (and whats working) is that the user clicks on my 'remove' button, the view-model implemented the command and here I am able to fire an event. What I wanted is to send the event out to the calling-application.
My startup-class that the calling-app is able to see now like this:
public UserControl ViewToShowInContainer { get; private set; }
public StartMyExtensionApplication(Model.TransportClass dataToWorkWith)
ViewToShowInContainer = new View.MainView();
(ViewToShowInContainer.DataContext as VehicleSearchWPF.ViewModel.MyMainViewModel).RemoveSelectStatementFromDB += new EventHandler<SelectStatementRemovedEventArgs>(StartVehicleSearch_RemoveSelectStatementFromDB);
void StartVehicleSearch_RemoveSelectStatementFromDB(object sender, SelectStatementRemovedEventArgs e)
throw new NotImplementedException();
But in my opinien there must be some nicer / cleaner / better method to implement this?
Thanks in advance! :)

Not Photoshopped #1
Waiting for the subway – not 'shopped
As a preview to the forthcoming blog post that covers my quick trip to NYC with my daughter, I was going through the pictures I took and saw this one and it looked like it was Photoshopped, putting me into the MTA subway system [specifically I was hopping the red 1 line at 50th and 7th]. But nope, it was real [and untouched except for being resized for this blog post]. It must have been the lighting on the top and the right side of my head that was bleeding through behind me that makes it look like an amateur layer cut was done in Photoshop.
As I find these random pictures that get taken, I will post them and try to prove they were not 'shopped in any way.

This paper describes the construction of a climate change scenario for a region representing the 'extended' Tropics – 30° N to 30° S – using a methodology that combines results from a simple climate model and a Global Climate Model (GCM) transient climate change experiment. The estimated date by which this climate change scenario might be realized ranges from as early as the end of the 2030s to as late as well into the 22nd century. The central estimate is for this scenario to describe the climate of the 2060s, which would represent a global warming rate of about 0.2 °C per decade, with associated atmospheric CO2 concentrations estimated to be about 560 ppmv, 55% higher than 1990 levels. The role of anthropogenic aerosols in offsetting part of this future global warming and altering the regional character of the changes has not been considered. The paper presents changes in mean temperature; mean rainfall; rainfall seasonality, variability, frequency, and intensity and soil moisture. These patterns of change derive from only one GCM climate change experiment; different experiments would yield different patterns for the same global warming. There is also some discussion about possible changes in tropical cyclone (TC) activity, although since TCs remain poorly modelled in GCMs, the full range of possibilities (from reduced activity, through no change, to increased activity) should be considered in any impact assessment.

Is that correct? Yes, but maybe is has to be done twice (or as you wish). The same classes are used when exporting data into a file and also when exporting into clipboard. I'm not sure which feature is more desired. I think that the export into clipboard uses different format than .xls - maybe .rtf or .html > 2) The additional formats would reasonable include: .ods, .xlsx, .xls When I was checking this topic I fond this. .XLS file can be created on Windows via Activex(OLE) or via ODBC: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Using_ActiveX_Object_in_QT http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/28345-My-approach-to-export-QTableView-data-to-a-Microsoft-Excel-file Plus there are some OS projects: The one you mentioned: https://github.com/dbzhang800/QtXlsxWriter but this one (at least) declares it depends on QT5, while we are still on QT4. I'm not sure whether this is a real issue or not. This I also found this BSD licensed lib: http://sourceforge.net/p/xlslib/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/xlslib/ > 3) What is the position on leveraging external libraries for this > functionality (such as https://github.com/dbzhang800/QtXlsxWriter) > > One final question: The Mysql and Postgres ports seem to be leveraging the > QT sql database drivers. Will that be the recommended plan in the future? > (That is, if looking to add other databases, should I be building QT > database drivers) > Well it's questionable. QT database driver offer limited functionality. For example they do not support various datatypes and they also do not support features like cancellation of of they query execution (this is even part of the ODBC or JDBC standard). So at this moment we use OCI for Oracle, and QT drivers for MySQL and PostreSQL. With one exception for PostreSQL - we are able to "extract" original connection handle from QT's connection class and we are able to call pg_cancel on it. I'm not sure what is easier to use. QT drivers seem to be easy to use, but when you start using them in multi-threaded environment you may find some problems. Support for database does not only mean the ability to execute SQL statement and display the output. It also means some support in various tools - especially the Browser. For example although MySQL supports stored procedures for a long time, we can not display their source code like we do for Oracle's PL/SQL. Plus there also might be support for particular database in the Editor. We have to tokenize editors text into SQL statement (now we use an empty line as SQL statement delimiter) and we also have to "pseudo-parse" SQL statements to find bind variable placeholders.

Iron Ore Surplus Spurred by BHP Seen Shutting China Mines
Surging global supplies of seaborne iron ore will challenge producers of the steel-making raw material in China, probably forcing some higher-cost capacity in the country to close, according to BHP Billiton Ltd.
The gain in global production is being led by Australia and Brazil and their new, low-cost output will displace marginal suppliers in China, Michiel Hovers, vice president of iron ore marketing at BHP, said at an industry conference today. Vale SA, the world's biggest producer, plans to raise output almost 50 percent by 2018, Claudio Alves, global director marketing and sales, told the gathering in Singapore.
The biggest producers including Vale, BHP, Rio Tinto Group and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. have invested billions of dollars to expand output, betting on sustained growth in demand from China, the biggest buyer. Iron ore fell into a bear market in March amid forecasts for a global glut. Fortescue wouldn't cut output even if prices extend declines as its costs are low, Business Development Manager Zhuang Binjun said today.
"Seaborne supply growth will come largely from Australia and Brazil," said BHP's Hovers. "This new supply will be low-cost seaborne and displace marginal supply from high-cost domestic Chinese producers and other lower-quality iron ore imports into China."
Slumping Prices
Ore with 62 percent content delivered to Tianjin lost 22 percent this year to $105.10 a dry ton today, according to data from The Steel Index Ltd. The benchmark fell to $104.70 on March 10, the lowest level since 2012. While prices may be firmer over three months, there may be a drop below $100 a ton over six months, toward $90, on the new supplies, Kamal Naqvi, global head of metals at Credit Suisse Group AG, told the conference.
If prices drop to $100, output in China may be hurt as domestic mines with high production costs are forced to cut output or close, according to the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics, Australia's government forecaster. By comparison, Rio Tinto can be profitable above A$39 ($36), BHP's break-even is A$41 ($38) and Fortescue's is A$56, UBS AG estimated.
The scale of closures may be relatively limited because the shuttering of small mines in coastal areas will be partially offset by new projects and the industry will seek to improve its position through mechanization and higher productivity, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said today.
"We continue to argue that the Chinese cost curve will not prevent seaborne iron ore prices from crashing through the $100 level going into 2015," the bank's analysts Christian Lelong and Amber Cai wrote in a report.
Vale's Expansion
Global seaborne supplies will increase 126 million tons to 1.38 billion tons this year, Morgan Stanley estimated in a May 5 report. That'll increase the worldwide surplus to 79 million tons in 2014 from 1 million last year, the bank forecast.
"What's happening now is the major iron ore producers are bringing considerable new capacity," Alves said in an interview, forecasting a rise of about 120 million tons this year and a further 100 million tons in 2015. "Most of the tonnage is very competitive," he said.
Production at the Rio de Janeiro-based company will rise to about 453 million tons in 2018 compared with 306 million tons last year, Alves told the conference. Vale's average cost of production in Brazil is $21 to $22 a ton, he said.
"It takes time to absorb all this pickup in iron ore supply," said Alves, forecasting China's imports will be more than 900 million tons this year from 820 million tons. "It will make some pressure in terms of price, create some volatility."
The Tianjin benchmark fell for a fifth month in April, the longest losing run since August 2012, as growth in China slowed and seaborne supplies rose. The price will drop to $100 in the fourth quarter, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Vale rose 0.6 percent in Sao Paulo today, trimming the drop this year to 17 percent. BHP declined 2.2 percent this year in Sydney.

Fuji X-M1 compared to Sony Nex 3N
Growing up with digital and being someone that wears glasses, I don't like OVFs much either. I have considered DSLRs too, and the only DSLRs with fast live view AF are Sony SLTs and Canon's 70D. But since I am not a pro, weight does matter to me. I don't shoot telephoto much so long lenses aren't a big concern with me.

Sony's lens line up isn't as bad as it once was. I own both systems, I prefer Fuji, but not necessarily because of the lenses. Sony has a decent wide angle 10-18mm zoom and 16-70 zoom now, they have the Zeiss primes (they are expensive but good), and their 35mm and 50mm primes are pretty good too.
What bugs me about the nex system is the auto white balance and auto exposure are inaccurate, especially indoors. The auto focus sometimes gives you confirmation even though it is not perfectly focused. And finally, there is no way to set minimum shutter speed or max auto iso like you can with newer Fuji's.
High quality glass is also much more affordable with Fuji, most of the good Sony glass with the exception of the 20mm, 35mm, and 50mm primes are a bit overpriced. But the Sony system does have decent glass now, it is just that most of it costs a $1000 each.
As for the op's comparison, I would expect the Fuji to produce much better photos. The Sony 16-50 power zoom was optically the worst lens I have ever used. It's only redeeming quality is it's size and weight.

Thing about a test like this is all you're doing is comparing the lenses.
Look at the system, Fuji and m43 offer much better systems than the NEX.
The lenses Sony has added don't impress me much. They, like Fuji, keep adding a lot of short lenses, and zooms, neither of which interest me. And the upcoming Zeiss 50mm macro? Seriously, Sony? Even if they got lenses I liked, their interfaces were horrid on the bodies. Seems they have changed that on the A7s, but it looks like those still have free-wheeling control dials, which I hate (maybe they just look that way, I dunno).
Fuji's lenses are much better, and I really like the X-E bodies (I have the X-E1). However, I am kind of getting the idea that if I want mild and medium telephoto lenses, I am going to have to go back to dSLRs. People only seem to want short lenses with the mirrorless cameras, apparently for most people, the size and weight is a big reason they want them. For me, the size and weight isn't such an issue, I just don't like the mirror and OVF of dSLRs. However, I rented a body over the weekend that I really loved. All the ones in the past I hated, but I really didn't want to send this one back. The biggest downsides with it were that I have gotten spoiled by my EVF, and having AF points spread over the whole frame. This camera had one of the worst AF systems in modern dSLRs, I think.
So I am really conflicted at this point about what to do moving ahead. I planned to get the 56/1.2 when (if) they ever put it out, but that $1200 could go a long way towards building a system that also had a longer portrait lens, and a long native macro (and fast, reliable autofocus). And really, any other lenses I could ever want. And flashes. If the Fuji system ever gets there, it will be a long time. I am wondering if I just tried mirrorless too soon, maybe I should get out and see what happens in the next five years, instead of buying more lenses that are more expensive than the equivalent dSLR lenses. And I worry about the long-term viability of the system. In another thread, someone said that the imaging division is only 5% of Fuji, and of course loses money. Maybe in a couple of years they decide to just close that down.
Hard to know what to do....

No limitations to promotion of Iran, Iraq ties: supreme leader
TEHRAN, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday that there is no limitations to promotion of ties between Iran and Iraq.
Tehran and Baghdad can work together closely in a wide range of areas, and there are no limitations to the increase of reciprocal ties as well as regional cooperation, Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with the visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
One of the areas of mutual cooperation would be to share Iran's scientific experiences with Iraq, Khamenei was quoted as saying by Press TV.
The Iranian leader praised what he called the performance of the Iraqi government in the country over the past years.
"The efforts you are making for your country today are invaluable. Of course, Iraq has still far more needs" to be met, he added.
The Iraqi minister expressed hope that his talks with the Iranian officials during the current visit would lead to the expansion of mutual ties in various fields.
Also, Iranian first vice president Es'haq Jahangiri said in Wednesday meeting with Maliki that Tehran and Baghdad played a determining role in the reinforcement of regional peace and stability, Press TV reported.
Terrorist groups seek to disturb peace in the Middle East to harm regional countries, he said, alluding to the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
Iran is ready to help Iraq rebuild the country, Jahangiri said, adding that there are good opportunities for Iranian businessmen to invest in Iraq's oil and gas, housing, development and trade projects.
The Iraqi official welcomed the contribution of Iranian firms to the reconstruction of his country. Iran-Iraq trade currently stands at about 3 billion U.S. dollars, which could even reach 15 billion dollars, said Maliki.
He underlined the need for security cooperation between Iran and Iraq in the fight against terrorism in the region.
Maliki arrived in Tehran on Wednesday for an official visit. During his visit, Maliki exchanged views on the latest regional and international developments with senior Iranian officials and discussed ways to strengthen bilateral ties in various sectors.
The U.S. removal of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 2003, and the ensuing rise of Iraqi Shiites helped by Iran, created a new dynamic between two the neighbors. The two nations, which fought each other in the 1980s, have re-established close ties.

will we close over 2 bucks in anticipation of Tuesday's news ?
Nice to see some aggressive buying between $1.82 and $1.84 heading into the close but why imply that something is coming on Tuesday? Personally, I'm not expecting anything until next month's earnings call and I suspect most long term investors here are expecting the same.

Fans show love/hate through ringtone purchases
Today's up-to-the-minute celebrity gossip sites and programs mean that fans always know what their favorite musicians, actors and athletes are wearing, who they're dating and where they're partying. They also influence fickle fans to express their appreciation and dissatisfaction through a variety of ways such as going to concerts and movies, buying CDs, and commenting on social media sites. Believe it or not, even ringtone sales can track the pulse of celebrity hot buttons. For example, when it was announced that the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch had cancer, his ringtone sales jumped 64 percent.
Zed, a leading digital entertainment company, analyzed sales of ringtones from a number of its carrier partners and found that celebrity gossip does influence fans' purchasing decisions:
...when Michael Jackson died, his ringtone sales soared more than 9,544 percent!
...when T.I. went to jail, his ringtone sales jumped up 19 percent week over week.
...when Fergie got married and Kevin Jonas got engaged, ringtone sales dropped 10 percent and 16 percent respectively.
...when Chris Brown and Rihanna suffered domestic issues, ringtones dropped 18 percent and 28 percent respectively.
The phone remains one of the most personal forms of expression and ringtones present a very audible way for fans to express their approval or dissatisfaction.

i have an individual dev account and a project from some company. would it be possible to develop an app for company (with the company name inside of app) and submit it in AppStore using my individual account? Would Apple allow that?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
As long as you have the legal right to publish the app, I very much doubt that Apple will care.
What you need to bear in mind, though, is that it will be your name that appears in the App Store. Worse, it's difficult to transfer an app from developer account to developer account (usually involving removing it from sale and resubmitting as the new owner), so it's pretty important to get it right first time.
For what it's worth, I think the company should have their own developer account and you should submit from there.
If the business (any client) want to control its application(s) (not have the app expire if you stop developing, have other developers work on it in the future, own the copyright, etc.), and have their name as seller of the app, they should enroll as a company in the iOS developer program, and have you submit the app under their account, even if that takes longer. But it shouldn't take longer if they have all their paperwork (corporate documents, trademarks, email/website domains, company bank accounts, etc.) in order.

Hidden Fees Can Hurt Your Investment Portfolio

One of the reasons active managers fail to beat their benchmarks is the "hidden" costs of trading.

Seminole State Park
Donalsonville, GA 39845
229-861-3137 | 800-864-7275
This southwest Georgia park is on Lake Seminole, a 37,500-acre reservoir with excellent boating, fishing and birding. Cottages, many campsites and even picnic shelters sit near the water's edge, offering excellent views and quick access to the lake. Because the park surrounds a small cove, visitors usually enjoy smooth water for skiing and tubing. A sand swimming beach is also provided for lake lovers. Wildlife is abundant throughout Seminole, and a nature trail leads past gopher tortoise burrows, a wetland boardwalk and one of the largest longleaf pine forests in a Georgia state park. Observant visitors may also see alligators, osprey, bald eagles and other wildlife. Nearby wildlife management areas provide great duck and deer hunting.

Lazy in Croatia
Sometimes I think I'm a lazy tourist. I'll be in the most impressive of places and will still enjoy a lot of sitting around doing nothing. Sometimes that's reading, sometimes watching a movie on my iPad, sometimes sorting pictures, but rarely, as it turns out, is it blogging. The beautiful thing is that since it's my vacation, I have no need to justify myself to anyone. That said, given busyness of the school year sometimes sitting around feels just about right.

"San Vito lo Capo" San Vito lo Capo by papito1981
San Vito lo Capo Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 35 photos
San Vito lo Capo is not only a really beautiful village: it's a gem of the Mediterranen sea!
Especially during summer time - from May to September - the Main Road, Via Savoia and the Main Square, that are prohibited to all vehicles, became the centre of the town and a great place where to spend hot evenings and have a relaxing walk. The City Hall is one of the oldest buildings in town. Before it was called Palazzo La Porta and was built in the 19th century. In some rooms and in the atrium there are old majolica floors, while in the garden just behind the building there are often cultural appointments.
- Pros:The beach
- Cons:Many tourists in August
- In a nutshell:Wonderful relax in not touristic season!

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Legal | The Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau has sued the organizers of Space City Comic Con, claiming trademark infringement over the event's use of the term "Space City." Many Houston businesses use the nickname, which dates back to the 1960s, but the bureau's lawyer said the trademark only covers tourism- and convention-related events. The bureau owns a 50 percent share in Comicpalooza, which directly competes with Space City Comic Con, and has asked the court to not only stop the show from using the name "Space City" but also to turn over part of its profits and agree not to compete with the bureau. [Houston Chronicle]
Cartoons | Playboy was once one of the best markets for gag cartoons, but with the recent redesign, they were tossed out the window along with the nude centerfolds. Jules Feiffer, Doug Sneyd, Playboy editorial director Jason Buhrmester and others talk about the reasons for, and ramifications of, that decision, Playboy's history as a magazine showcasing great cartoons, and what the future may hold. [FastCoCreate]
Legal | On the day his trial on sedition charges was due to begin, Malaysian political cartoonist Zunar threw a curve ball, asking the high court to declare the sedition law unconstitutional. The Malaysian government has repeatedly attempted to ban or censor Zunar's cartoons, but this case actually stems from a series of nine tweets he wrote following the conviction of opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on sodomy charges; Zunar accused the court of following the wishes of the prime minister. On Friday, Zunar's lawyers (one of whom has also been charged with sedition) filed a petition with the high court saying that the lower court that was to hear the case had no authority to do so. The Malaysian Federal Court recently dismissed a challenge that made a similar argument; Zunar's case is now scheduled to be heard on Dec. 8, with a decision expected a week later. [Index on Censorship]
The latest issue of Playboy (warning: the article in that link is safe for work, but the accompanying website ads most certainly are not) contains an in-depth interview with Stan Lee, the legendary 91-year-old co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men the Avengers and many more classic Marvel characters.
As the Playboy name suggests, the Q&A is revealing. Lee addresses a number of issues, including the notion that he gets too much credit for his role in creating Marvel's icons, at the expense of artists — namely Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Lee downplays any controversy, saying, "I always tried to show them in the most favorable light, even in the credits," and "I don't see where they were unfairly treated."
Unsurprisingly, much of the talk involves the recent film adaptations of his characters, with Lee stating he was at first surprised by Robert Downey Jr. being picked to play Iron Man, but now think it's "the greatest bit of casting ever." Yet Lee's excitement for 2015's hotly anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron seems a bit more measured. "I don't have any idea who the hell Ultron is," Lee said. "He was a character developed after I stopped being involved in the Avengers story." (Ultron, created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema, first appeared in 1968's "Avengers" #54; Lee stopped writing that title with 1966's #35).
Manga | In Japan, as elsewhere, people would rather read about farming than actually do it; agriculture has become a popular topic for manga, and the Agriculture Ministry recently announced an award for manga that raise interest in farming. The article mainly focuses on Hiromu Arakawa's Silver Spoon, which has recently been made into a movie; Arakawa is also the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, a fact the article omits. [The Wall Street Journal]
Awards | Silver Spoon was on of the 10 nominees for this year's Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize; two manga that are published in English, Attack on Titan and Animal Land, also made the list. [Anime News Network]
Digital comics | Japanese publisher Kadokawa plans on March 22 to launch ComicWalker, a digital comics service that will carry manga in three languages: Japanese, English and Chinese. The stories will include some well-known classics (Sgt. Frog, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundam: The Origin) as well as new manga, and apparently they will be free. The launch will include 150 titles, 40 of which will be translated, so it sounds like not everything will be available in English right away. [Anime News Network]
Conventions | Lewis Trondheim, a former winner of the Grand Prix d'Angoulême and therefore a member of the academy that chooses each year's winners, provides an insider's view of the voting and the causes and effects of the changes that have been made over the past two years: "In its forty-three years, the festival has had, I believe, three Americans, one Argentine, one Swiss, three Belgians, and over thirty Frenchmen. This doesn't seem to correspond with the reality of the comics world to me." [The Comics Journal]
Joe Casey, comic book veteran and one-quarter of the Man of Action animation-writing team, joins some impressive company in this month's Playboy, an issue celebrating the 60th anniversary of the long-running men's magazine. Casey's one of several notable names, both living and dead, advertised on the magazine's cover, along with Truman Capote, Ben Affleck, Erica Jong, Hunter S. Thompson, William S. Burroughs, Patton Oswalt and David Mamet.
Casey's contribution to the issue is a Playboy-exclusive comic about a 1950s romance comic character in the 2013 dating world; it's written by Casey, illustrated by his Haunt collaborator Nathan Fox, colored by Brad Simpson and lettered by Rus Wooton. Casey was featured in Playboy earlier this year, discussing his thematically appropriate Image Comics series Sex in the magazine's March issue.
It's been a busy couple of weeks for the writer — last week saw the release of the first Sex collection plus the Gødland Finale, wrapping up the Casey-written series that started in 2005. The 60th-anniversary Playboy, headlined by supermodel Kate Moss, is on sale digitally now, with a print edition available Friday.
