Investment Technology Buys Majestic for $56 Million
Investment Technology Group Inc. bought Majestic Research Corp. for $56 million in a bid to attract trading from clients including mutual and hedge funds, Chief Executive Officer and President Robert Gasser said.
Majestic provides research on more than 200 companies and 17 industries. It will be renamed ITG Investment Research, with its roughly 80 employees joining the broker's 1,140. This is the biggest takeover for New York-based Investment Technology Group since its $230 million purchase of MacGregor Group Inc. was announced in July 2005, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Brokerages such as ITG that serve institutions including mutual funds are facing less business. U.S. stock trading dropped to the lowest quarterly level since at least 2008 during the July-through-September period, Bloomberg data show.
"Clients pay for research, they pay for content and they pay for things that add to the portfolio construction part of the process," Gasser said in an interview. Early last year ITG became concerned about its ability to attract business should trading volume dwindle, curbing the amount of money customers could spend on execution. "We spent the next 18 months surveying the independent research landscape and understanding that part of our client business more deeply," Gasser said. "Majestic stood out."
ITG is purchasing Majestic with $53 million in cash and the rest in stock, Gasser said. His company had $325.9 million in unrestricted cash as of June 30. Its stock-market value was $638.7 million as of Oct. 22. The shares fell 2.1 percent, the most since Oct. 4, to $14.64 at 4 p.m. in New York.
74% Retreat
Shares of ITG have dropped 74 percent to $14.95 since they reached a record high of $58.01 in May 2006. They have slumped 24 percent in 2010.
ITG is a brokerage firm and technology company operating in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. It provides customers with algorithms, or strategies that trade blocks gradually based on the user's goals and market conditions, systems to track and process orders in equities and other products, cost analysis of completed executions, and dark pools, or private venues that allow firms to trade anonymously with one another without disclosing their intentions publicly. Its Posit venue became the first U.S. dark pool operating during the trading day in 1987.
Majestic, formed in 2002 by Seth Goldstein and Chief Executive Officer Tony Berkman, uses licenses to proprietary data owned by other companies to provide intelligence on sales trends in industries such as telecommunications, real estate airlines. The New York-based company, whose clients include hedge funds, doesn't issue buy, hold and sell recommendations, a practice that will continue at ITG, Gasser said.
Less Trading
Annual U.S. equity trading commissions paid to brokers totaled $12.1 billion at the end of the first quarter, with 53 percent, or about $6.4 billion, used to pay for research and related services, according to a June report from Greenwich Associates. The average commission rate was 2.8 cents per share, down from 2.9 cents a year ago, while hedge funds paid 2.5 cents compared with 2.8 cents in 2009, the Stamford, Connecticut-based research firm said.
The scramble by brokers for commission dollars has been exacerbated by declining U.S. trading. ITG traded a daily average of 158 million shares in September, compared with 199 million shares a year earlier, according to reports published by the company.
"Agency brokers are likely to be squeezed in the near term as buy-side clients struggle to allocate their shrinking equity pool," Michael Mayhew, chairman and global director of research at Integrity Research Associates LLC in New York, wrote in a company blog post on Sept. 20. "A number of institutional investors have started limiting the amount of 'execution only' business they do in order to pay their research providers." Integrity offers data and advice on research providers.
"We're going to invest in them and their platform," Gasser said of Majestic. ITG wants the research unit to cover more industries, expand geographically and increase its customer base among the broker's clients, he said. Majestic's Berkman will join ITG's executive committee. "We are very aggressively assimilating the two firms," Gasser said.

After 42 seasons, the Thanksgiving Day football rivalry between Oxford High and Auburn High is history.
Officials from both schools met Friday morning, and Oxford informed Auburn it was ending the game that had been played since 1971.
Instead, Oxford will face Sutton High — which begins its first season of football next fall — while Auburn, winners of five straight Super Bowls, is without a Thanksgiving opponent.
"Nobody wanted to see it go, and it's not like something we hoped for," Oxford athletic director John Doldoorian said. "We've been talking about it for the past six years as games became more lopsided. We had a meeting this morning, and the hard part is that the Auburn kids may not have a game, and everyone feels bad about that. You have to look at what's best for our school and our student body."
Auburn led the holiday series, 34-8, with the Rockets winning the last 13 and 21 of the last 22. The Pirates last won in 1999 when they defeated Auburn, 25-0. Half of Oxford's wins in the series were the result of the Pirates taking four out of five from 1987-91. Oxford has scored more than one touchdown against the Rockets only four times in the past 13 years.
"We had no say in this matter, and we're very disappointed," Auburn coach Jeff Cormier said. "It's the end of a 42-year contest, and the reason behind it was solely Oxford's feelings and not ours."
Cormier said he was more disappointed about the timing of the news, as many schools have locked down their schedules for next year.
"If this happened earlier, there were options for us," Cormier said. "We were approached by two different schools as late as December about playing on Thanksgiving, but we didn't want to leave Oxford hanging."
Cormier said Auburn was also approached two years ago by another Central Mass. school about playing on Thanksgiving, but was talked out of it by Oxford.
"We were told Oxford was in the process of rebuilding and they were going to get new coaches in the building, and they wanted the game to remain," Cormier said. "Last week, they had a decision to make, and they made it. What they asked us to do, they made a different decision."
Sutton and Blackstone-Millville will begin their first varsity football seasons next fall, but while Blackstone-Millville played a junior varsity schedule last year to prepare, Sutton did not. Doldoorian said he was surprised when Sutton school officials approached him about a possible move a few weeks ago.
There are a few links to the two schools. Doldoorian is also the girls' basketball coach at Sutton, and Sutton athletic director Jeff Parcells is a former football coach at Oxford. The two schools also had a co-op agreement to play football until Sutton, which will co-op with Douglas, started its own program. Doldoorian said those relationships were not a factor in the decision to end the rivalry with Auburn.
"We didn't know they were available, but when they ended up with a football team, they came to us about playing on Thanksgiving," Doldoorian said. "It's unfortunate, but we were involved in a noncompetitive game. This (Auburn-Oxford game) has been about a tradition, but not a rivalry."
Doldoorian said games have been getting so out of hand in recent years that he watched late-arriving fans turn around and leave when they realized the score.
"They'd get in line for a ticket, but see it was 21-0 with four minutes left in the first quarter, and they'd leave and go home without buying a ticket," Doldoorian said. "It's unfortunate, but Thanksgiving Day has lost a lot of its meaning here."
Doldoorian said Auburn has been a first-class school and never ran up the score, but he had to look out for the future of his football program. Doldoorian said the school's enrollment numbers have dropped so significantly in recent years that he has applied for waivers to get middle school players for his soccer programs.
"After having 42 years of football together, we are now back at the level of a first-year team with 10 kids and 12 freshmen coming back for next year," Doldoorian said. "I don't think there's a football person out there that would guarantee those 22 kids would be coming out there next year."
Unfortunately, Oxford's decision leaves Auburn in the cold.
"Now it looks like our kids won't have a chance to play on Thanksgiving next year, and that's a shame," Cormier said.

Released: Oct 26th, 2009
Running Time: 144
Director: Various
Company: Titan Media
DVD Extras: Trailer(s)
Cast: Diesel Washington, Adam Faust, Dirk Jager, Dean Flynn, Tyler Saint, François Sagat, Lars Svenson, Billy Berlin, Dominic Sol, Brendan Davies, Rick Van Sant, Max Schutler, Vinnie D'Angelo, Dak Ramsey, Alex Baresi, Tober Brandt, Tony Buff
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Compilation, Gay and Bi, Gay Specialty
Specialty Type: Golden Showers
Dive into Double Wide: The Best of Rick van Sant—9 scenes from 8 titles of heart-grabbing, ass-pounding fisting action starring TitanMen exclusive Rick Van Sant and the cream of the crop from TitanMen's stable of studs.
How can someone so cute be so dirty? Rick Van Sant has been lending his boy-next-door smile, big cock and hungry hole to Titan for years. For this disc, the studio has compiled the extreme footage from the director's cuts of eight films (so you're not seeing the "regular" hardcore footage, just the fisting and watersports action).
The nine scenes all feature Van Sant offering up his talented ass for abuse. He gets two fists up his ass at the same time in two scenes: Billy Berlin does the duties in Folsom Undercover, while Adam Faust takes over in one of two scenes from Folsom Leather (the star also licks his own cum up after getting plowed by Brendan Davies and Francois Sagat).
Handsome Dean Flynn pops up in two threesomes—he's joined by Dominic Sol in Warehouse (where Van Sant almost fists himself) and by Tony Buff in Breakers (the best scene here, it also has ample piss play and the hottest shot of the feature: Van Sant's big dick grazing Buff's bulging bicep as he sits down on the alpha male's arm). Van Sant also joins Alex Baresi in sitting down on Diesel Washington's fists (and feet!) in Telescope, while Dak Ramsey practically works his elbow up inside the bottom in Folsom Prison.
Rounding out the action is a punch-fist session from Lars Svenson and Dirk Jager in Fear, and the opening session atop the hood of a Mustang (with Max Schutler) in Overdrive. It's a nice collection, but doesn't offer anything new to fans that already have the films.

Theory predicts that three-wave envelope solitons (TWES) can he generated in dual-mode optical fibers by simultaneous injection of two copropagating optical modes. The mechanism of the three-wave interaction is the recently observed intermodal forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS). The dynamics of soliton generation depends on the duration of the injected pulses, the pump power, and the attenuation time constant. For the adiabatic modulation of injected optical waves, a new type of generation has been analyzed: an acoustical wave structure that scatters the incident pump into the Stokes wave is formed in the fiber prior to and after the soliton generation. This structure appears as a result of FSBS and serves as a TWES "launcher." We identify this type of generation in earlier soliton experiments in stimulated Raman scattering. The TWES velocity depends on the pump power. For a typical dual-mode fiber, the speed of TWES can be adjusted over four orders of magnitude by adjusting the pump power between 0.01 and 200 mW. The duration of the soliton is <3 ms due to the acoustic attenuation. The length of the fiber can be shorter than the length of the soliton while preserving the same TWES characteristics. Both Ar+ and Nd:YAG lasers are suitable for TWES generation

The United Nations hasn't had much of a presence in Iraq since a car bomb blew up its headquarters back in 2003, but that could soon change. The U.S. and Britain have begun pushing a Security Council resolution that would expand the U.N.'s mandate in Iraq, with a focus on diplomacy and human rights.
The draft resolution calls for more UN involvement in helping refugees to return and managing humanitarian aid and helping the entire national reconstruction effort.
It also points out the importance of armed protection by mainly US forces for any enhanced UN team on the ground.
Former Secretary General Kofi Annan pulled all UN international staff out of Iraq after the top UN envoy, Sergio Vieira de Mello, and 21 other people died in a huge explosion at the UN headquarters in Baghdad in August 2003.

How do you setup blacklists for Microsoft Exchange 2003? For example, RBL or CBL lists mitigating known spam. Is it recommended to maintain several blacklists together? If so, is there a set that should usually be included for any serious production server?
Regarding blacklists, I recommend that you try to pull the data from the RBL (often via rsync) and do your own sanitizing(1) on the downloaded list and run something like RBLDNSD or Wrbldnsd to serve the blacklist to your mailserver(s). Otherwise you will give away total-control to a third party to choose if you should receive or block a certain mail (depending on configuration). A better idea is to use several RBL's and increase "spaminess" score on each hit.
(1)Things we check for in the downloaded feed and removes if found:
When we did our own spam and virus filtering, we used spamhaus as our only blacklist.
Since we switched to "Microsoft Forefront Online Security for Exchange" (the name seems to keep getting longer!) a couple of years ago, we don't pay any attention to blacklists any more, they take care of it.
If we had to do spam/virus filtering in-house again, I'd be following most of rkthkr's advice.
("Microsoft Forefront Online Security for Exchange" is the name for the spam/virus filtering component of "Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services" which is what MS originally called "Frontbridge" when they bought them and then Frontbridge was originally called "Bigfish" when it started.)
We are using the following RBL Service Providers with good results in an exchange scenario but throught ASSP anti-Spam Proxy along with bayesian filtering and withelisting for our important partners:

This was a new product to me; based on a recommendation from a friend. I am very impressed with this product. It smells great, is very kind to skin. The only issue is the price point... £11 is a little too pricey, making this a treat product in future.

I'm having a weird recurring issue on my Win7 machine. It has Bluetooth, is sometimes connected to some Bluetooth devices, and it has a printer attached and a few network printers configured.
After a fresh boot, when I go to print something, the list of printers never loads and the app freezes. Similarly, the "Devices and Printers" list in Control Panel does not load, either.
It has taken me a lot of experimentation but I've found a procedure that fixes this behavior:
- Stop
- End
- Stop and restart print spooler service
- Start
It has gotten painful to execute those steps each boot and whenever else printing stops working.
Are there any other ways to resolve this conflict between printing and Bluetooth functionality?

6 Whole Grains to Help Control Your Weight
Cheap and healthy are my go-to adjectives these days, and whole grains fit nicely within these requirements. Whole grains are heart healthy, fight belly fat, contain appetite-controlling fiber, and are low-glycemic carbohydrates, which means they can help to control your weight. Keep your hunger at bay and achieve a healthy weight by incorporating more of these carbs into your diet.

The leader's daughter never has been a big seller eventhough the leader likes to spend the money....taking trips to water parks, over buying on food for camp, buying crafts last minute and paying full price, wanting gas money for trips. (clearification: example of over spending she will say "oh I got this stuff for the craft here is the reciept the troop can pay me back" and I look at the reciept and she spent $25 on beads for 9 girls?) But this year has been the worst, she sold 35 boxes of cookies, which is half her normal. In previous years we had other girls sale that much and she would grumble about them and now she is them!!!!
Do I say something to the leader?
The girls goal was to go to an amusment park 4 hours away and spend the night. We sold 400 boxes for 5 girls, even with booth sales its going to be tight. Do I say we can't go now?
Update: I agree leaders spend lots of their time and own money to do things for the troop. I am the co-leader and I handle both the fundraisers because the other leader is busy.
Thanks for the advice!

All Rise...
Judge Adam Arseneau doesn't cry.
The Charge
"Okay, I'm going to kill myself if we have to sit here all night listening to The Cure."—Judge Adam Arseneau's wife, to Judge Adam Arseneau
The Case
A trifecta of moody melancholic music, The Cure: Trilogy features everyone's favorite goth boy, Robert Smith, and The Cure performing three of their seminal albums live in their entirety to sellout crowds in Berlin in 2002. Yes, my wife did indeed say that—and she was probably correct in doing so.
With the completion of Bloodflowers in 2000, The Cure had finalized what was to them the third in a thematic set of albums (preceded by Pornography in 1982 and Disintegration in 1989) spanning over ten years. After watching David Bowie perform his albums Low and Heathen in their entirety in concert, front man Robert Smith decided to do the same thing with The Cure. Recorded in chronological and album order over two nights in Berlin, The Cure: Trilogy features the following songs:
The Cure: Trilogy is an ambitious idea, performing three seemingly disparate albums back-to-back, and one that succeeds in creating thematic links between separate creative works. One cannot deny a tonal and narrative harmony that runs through the performance when the albums are played back-to-back, and newcomers to the music would be hard-pressed to tell which songs were written ten years ago, and which were written today. These are serious albums for serious Cure fans; no poppy singles or catchy jingles to be found here, only dark and complex explorations of sulking and wearing eyeliner.
The downside to such a stringent adherence to an inflexible set list is the lack of variety. With each song being so intrinsically and artistically linked across the three albums, this kind of ambitious (and some would argue self-indulgent) arrangement results in a three-hour set of similar-sounding songs. This is great news for fans of The Cure's more challenging, moody, and emotional work, but torturous for those who enjoy songs like "Boys Don't Cry" and "Friday I'm In Love."
Even for occasional fans of The Cure and their music, it is hard to escape the pure droning quality of this concert: the repetitive tempos from song to song, the near-identical jangling guitar intros, the wrist-slitting maudlin lyrics from Smith again and again. While all three albums taken individually are quite excellent, hearing them back-to-back is emotionally and sonically draining, like attending multiple funerals. It's all a bit heavy. Even worse, The Cure are, for all their musical talent, fantastically dull stage performers. The band stands ramrod straight and rooted into position the entire time. When the most exciting moment in your live concert DVD is when you take off the guitar and put your hands dramatically in the air, you know you're in trouble, or asleep.
Visually, the 1080i picture lacks the crisp quality one would expect from a high definition recording; the image is soft and hazy, indistinct and lacking detail, and sequences seem to streak, as if some funny conversion occurred. It looks better than it would on DVD, but not quite as good as recent Blu-Ray concert offerings. The concert (like the music) is moodily lit, with excessive reds and blues lighting up the stage, with solid and overwhelming black levels. When the stage lights properly illuminate Smith and his band mates, the high definition kicks in; sweat glistens and light reflects from chrome instruments smartly, but with it comes a noticeable amount of grain. These moments are few and far between, as the band seems to enjoy lurking amidst the shadows.
As with most Eagle Rock concerts, The Cure: Trilogy sounds better than it looks. Audio offers up a LPCM stereo track, a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and a DTS HD Master Audio track for consumption. The stereo track is crisp and treble-heavy, with strong vocal mixing and clean detail. The similarities between the Dolby 5.1 and the DTS HD are surprisingly uniform; both make excellent use of all five channels, spreading out the intricate guitar jangling riffs and keyboards across the full spectrum. The DTS HD sounds smoother, more polished and less jangly than the Dolby track, with a noticeably more rounded tone, but either would serve the performance very well. Bass response on all three tracks was adequate, but less prominent than expected.
In terms of extras, we get two encore songs ("If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" and "The Kiss"), two alternate angle tracks ("The Same Deep Water As You" and "Plainsong") which amount to little more than somebody bringing a camcorder on stage, and a 40-minute SD interview (with optional subtitles) with the band members discussing their motivations for putting together the three-album set. It's a slim offering of extras, but identical to the standard DVD release.
An ambitious concert sure to appeal to serious Cure fans, The Cure: Trilogy sounds great on Blu-Ray, but the mediocre high-definition transfer and yawn-inducing performance make this one for the devoted, mascara-wearing fans only. Guilty of producing an unexpected reaction in the judge. After sitting through the set, I found myself not wanting to listen to The Cure any more, but instead go do something more cheerful, like hang out in a cemetery or a funeral home.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give The Cure: Trilogy (Blu-Ray) a fair trial? yes / no

From Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, comes a poignant, richly poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life.
Rarely does adolescent love reach its full potential, but what happens when two young lovers reunite after eleven years? Time has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader. She has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts.
Now they are together once again, embarking on a journey fraught with difficulties, as long-buried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyrenees, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.
Paulo Coelho has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2002, and in 2007, he was appointed United Nations Messenger of Peace. He is also the most followed author on social media.

I carry a Kahr CW9 in my front pocket in a holster, with no problems at all. It's a 9x19 7+1 rounder.

Hi all! I am new to your site and enjoying it so far!
I just had to post on this thread because I carry a Kahr PM9 almost every day in a desantis nemesis pocket holster. I have not had a jam yet form this little gun and I trust it to go bang every time. I can shoot it pretty accurately for such a small gun also. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small pocket auto.
I carry a Kahr CW9 in my front pocket in a holster, with no problems at all. It's a 9x19 7+1 rounder.

I have a J frame for the wife, a couple Makarovs too, but couldn't imagine carrying either as a true "pocket" pistol with the weight of them. I carry a Kel-Tec P3AT every day in a Don Hume wallet holster. I've been very pleased with it thus far.
If you buy a Kel-Tec, I strongly recommend doing the "Fluff and Buff" treatment beforehand (Google it). I did with mine, and have had VERY few issues with it. You MUST clean it weekly, as it will catch pocket lint and dirt like crazy. If you do that, it'll treat you well, and you'll get so you feel naked without it in your hip pocket.
My Walther PPS hasn't jammed, and I pocket carry it.
Gun control can be blamed in part for allowing 9/11 to happen.
"Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum" (Latin)- "If you want peace, prepare for war".
If you want a reliable pocket pistol, a light 38 revolver like the S&W 642 is your best bet IMHO. I bought a 380 semi-auto a few months ago and have not yet had a 50 round range session without at least two jams. I gave up on it as a carry piece and bought a 642. The geometry, physics, and manufacturing issues associated with the action of a semi-auto pistol work against reliability in the smaller models. If reliability is very important to you and you want a small light gun - get an alloy frame snub 38 revolver.
I've owned a lot of pocket sized autos, North American Arms in .32 and .380, Kel-Tec in .32 and .380. Although all were reliable the NAA were to heavy and the .32's to light of a caliber. I didn't like the fit and finish on the Kel-Tec's, I just didn't feel that pride of ownership feeling. I just got my Ruger LCP .380. Haven't shot it yet but it looks very well made and the trigger is light and smooth.
A few months ago I purchased a PM9 and couldn't be happier. It has been flawless and fed everything I put through it. Some points that weighed in my decision:
- I had a PPK/S and wanted 9mm vs. .380, given the significant stopping power difference. The PM9 is smaller (some) and lighter (almost half a pound). The PM9 recoil is also much less than with the blow-back design.
- I can't see something larger than the PM9 (XDSC, M&P compact, G26, Sig229) being a "pocket" pistol, really. Even the PM9 pushes the upper limit when trying to use it in jeans.
- I like the extra 2 shots vs. a J-frame. I also understand that the recoil of the PM9 is considerably less, and the PM9 is far more accurate, given the sights, sight radius and recoil factor. The PM9 also prints less in the pocket.
- Having said all of that, I will still pick up a P3AT or LCP for those couple of months in the summer when I wear flimsy shorts with a drawstring. Those two guns are literally half the size and weight of the PM9. A .380 isn't anywhere near a 9mm +P in performance, but it's better than nothing. I wouldn't even consider a .32, especially during the winter months when there are layers of clothing to penetrate.
Bottom line, I feel the PM9 is the best of all worlds for a "pocket" pistol, and the VDxxxx and new IAxxxx serial number ones have proven to be reliable and go "bang" every time.
I've put 400 rounds through my PM9 with flawless performance. Shoots accurately. Follow Kahr's directions and you shouldn't have a problem. Strong arms and hands help as well with any shooting.
I carry an AMT DAO back-up (.45)......not light weight, so if it jams I can beat the **** out of the perp with it. (this one thankfully fires everytime)
It's glock 26 for me but I don't see the 26 as a pocket pistol.It's a bit big and wide for the pants pocket.I'd go with the smaller ones that were mentioned.
I feel that most pocket semi autos jam because they gather lint and stuff from being in a pocket. Even a gun carried in a pocket holster will gather lint and such,thats why I like a snubnose revolver for this type of thing,i feel a revolver is much more forgiving under these types on conditions. Don't get me wrong small auto these days have become reliable but this hinges on maintaining said weapon. I feel any carry gun that may be called upon to save ones life should be broken down and cleaned lubed weekly IMO.

Ross Gelbspan | October 20, 2007

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment yesterday became the first government agency in the United States to cite carbon dioxide emissions as the reason for rejecting an air permit for a proposed coal-fired electricity generating plant, saying that the greenhouse gas threatens public health and the environment.
The decision marks a victory for environmental groups that are fighting proposals for new coal-fired plants around the country. It may be the first of a series of similar state actions inspired by a Supreme Court decision in April that asserted that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide should be considered pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
Tom replied on Permalink
Finally some common sense…
Col replied on Permalink
Unique situation?
What role did the fact that the proponent was a cooperative play in this?
Was it easier to prevent the project? Will the state try to block coal plants by big corporations too? Will it be able to do the latter as easily?
Was it even possibly prevented because it was a cooperative, with CO2 as an excuse?

The couple is attacked one day by a group of hooded young thugs, and after a shocking act of violence, Tommy is left to raise his newborn daughter alone. So shaken by the events that he's developed extreme agoraphobia, Tommy alternates days hiding out indoors in his new flat from imagined threats and intense therapy sessions aimed at bringing him back to normalcy. When the same hooded gang, seemingly intent on kidnapping his daughter, begins terrorizing his life again, he's torn between his paralyzing fear and protective parental instinct. With the help of a vigilante priest who has uncovered the genesis of this ruthless, potentially supernatural gang, Tommy must overcome his fears and venture into the heart of the abandoned tower block known as the CITADEL to save his family.

I have 5 WP websites that are installed under the same database. And, for three of them I would like to use the same exact TABLES. From my understanding, what determines which data table will be used is the active theme (set in wp_options table). Am I correct here? .
If so, is it correct to assume that if I use the same theme on all three, the content would all come from the same data table? Further, which configuration determines the active template in the wp_options table, is it the Theme name set in the style.css?
Context: These three website will use the same core functionality, in other words, same theme, but there will be significant layout differences and not all themes will offer all functionality. It is sort of lika A/B testing if you will..
Any thoughts on the subject would be aprreciated.
Thank you.

For long, Cisco has been an undisputed leader in networking while VMWare (acquired by EMC which has in turn been acquired by Dell) has been the leading provider of virtualization software and services. Over the past couple of years though, network virtualization has pitted these two technology companies against each other. Cisco ACI (Application-Centric-Infrastructure) is the company's foray into network virtualization that happened after its acquisition of Insieme, a company that Cisco previously funded. VMWare's horse in the race is NSX, a product that was created after merging their vCloud Networking and Security (vCNS) with Network Virtualization Platform (NVP) that the company acquired from Nicira.

Politics Bush, Reichert, and the Latest TV ad in the 8th District
This morning's New York Times has an article on Democratic television advertisements. It doesn't mention the latest TV ad in Washington's 8th District, but it might as well.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 From Rhode Island to New Mexico, from Connecticut to Tennessee, President Bush is emerging as the marquee name in this fall's Congressional elections courtesy not of his Republican Party but of the Democrats.
A review of dozens of campaign commercials finds that Mr. Bush has become the star of the Democrats' advertisement war this fall. He is pictured standing alone and next to Republican senators and members of Congress, his name intoned by ominous-sounding announcers, and Republican candidates are damned in the advertisements by the number of times they have voted with Mr. Bush in Congress.
Here's the 8th District ad, which Postman is criticizing as "misleading at best." (Confidential to Postman: Doesn't the ad read as something of a response to this criticism of Burner's TV strategy, noted on your blog in August?)

I have the Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard. But it does not have "quick boot" feature, I.e it does not just show the vendor logo and start up the OS; it has to go through all the steps like most old motherboards. also I have the latest BIOS update. so my question is, if this "quick boot" feature is not supported by the vendor, are my hands tied?
If your current BIOS truly does not support Quick Boot you can look for alternative BIOS options and find one that:
While flashing a BIOS chip has gotten a lot easier, depending on the method you use you could end up with a corrupt BIOS and few (if any) ways to recover. So if you're not familiar with BIOS flashing then either find someone who is or be very certain you know what you're doing after researching BIOS flashing.
Okay, I just downloaded and checked the BIOS configuration section of the manual for your board. There is an option called

It's not the size that matters; it's how you use it. Billy
Bragg proved it in 1983, entering the UK album charts with a
16-minute debut that has lost none of its appeal in an age
when 50-minute-plus releases are a test of endurance.
Life's A Riot With Spy vs Spy announced Bragg as the
working-class bloke's next great troubadour, Woody Guthrie
reborn as an Essex lad, a socialist struggling as much with
the politics of sex as he was with the politics of Margaret
Thatcher's Britain.
Bragg divvies up the personal and political roughly 50:50 on
the seven-track album, even managing in a couple of numbers
to marry a sense of having been cheated of a prosperous
future with the futility of a dead-end romance. This mix of
polemic and love song reframes punk's anti-establishment
message, giving voice to frustrations in a way that
acknowledges everyday human needs.
The reverberant jangle of Bragg's guitar evokes the chilly
solitude of a soundcheck in an empty suburban hall.
Accompanied by nothing else, he knocks out one tune after
another with the skill of a practised busker, who has learned
to broaden his palette by mining the instrument for its
percussive qualities. With no song longer than three minutes,
and a brace that clock in at less than two, the set is as
efficient as he could hope to make it.
As The Milkman Of Human Kindness, Bragg offers up an extra
pint, as The Man In The Iron Mask, it's a blind eye to
infidelity, and each time he reveals himself as a man who has
yet to find his emotional centre. In To Have And To Have Not
and The Busy Girl Buys Beauty, he rises more confidently to
take on institutional hypocrisy and crushed human potential,
much clearer in his world-view.
He's not looking for a new England, though, or to change the
world. For now, he'll settle for another girl.

©2012-2016 lessthan3chrissy

See more pictures and buy it here: [link]
I would love one of these so bad! XD
Its gorgeous!!! i luv ur creations!
WOOOOOOOW this is freaking awsome!
Very cool, I like it
OK that is dang cute!!!!
that applejack is a McDonald's toy and I have that one!
omg so much stuff in just one neclace!!!
Thats so awesome!!!
That is so brilliant!
I'm rather confused as none of her treats were technically candy. She sold apple treats. Candy would go best with Pinkie Pie
I made some candy apples and cupcakes with green frosting just like in the show. The rest were charms I had from my supplies, my Etsy store is candy themed so this is my interpretation of Applejack.
ah okay. That would make a bit more sense. Without knowing the theme of your shop she looks a bit out of place with all the lolipops and such.
I'm not much for my little pony, but this is soo cute!

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Crime | Florida authorities are trying to determine whether human remains discovered Wednesday in Pasco County are those of Stephen Perry, the 56-year-old ThunderCats writer who's been missing for more than three weeks and presumed murdered. Zephyrhills police are still awaiting the results of DNA testing on the severed arm found in a trash bin on May 16 near Perry's abandoned van.
Tampa Tribune reporter Howard Altman, who's been covering the Perry case from the beginning, notes police revealed the latest discovery on the same day that Warner Bros. Animation announced it is producing a new version of ThunderCats. [The Tampa Tribune]
Conventions | A coalition of Anaheim business and community leaders has launched a website to counter a local labor union's recent efforts to "intimidate" Comic-Con International organizers to discourage them from moving the event to the city. Unite Here Local 11, which represents about 2,100 workers at Disneyland resort hotels, is embroiled in a bitter two-year dispute over a contract proposal that could increase healthcare costs for some employees. Union representatives dressed as Marvel superheroes delivered a letter last month to the Comic-Con offices warning that a move to Anaheim could jeopardize the success of the convention.
A letter on the Anaheim coalition's website, signed by the city's mayor and more than two dozen others, states the individuals were "shocked and deeply disappointed" by the union's actions. "As a community, we have respected Local 11's right to protest," the letter reads. "However, when their actions adversely impact the livelihood of workers, sustainability of local businesses and funding for city services, we must speak out." [The San Diego Union-Tribune, Los Angeles Times]
Digital comics | Wired.com's Ryan Singel isn't buying Apple CEO Steve Jobs' "bit of revisionist history" concerning the iPhone store's rejection of cartoonist Mark Fiore's NewsToons app: "… Jobs says the real story is that in the interval between the rejection and Fiore's award, Apple had changed its policy because it realized that blocking Fiore was dumb. But despite that supposed change, the company never contacted Fiore and asked him to try again." [Epicenter]
Business | The purchase of Peanuts and United Media Licensing by Iconix Brand Group and the heirs of Charles M. Schulz became official on Thursday. [press release]
Creators | John Martz chats with Graham Annable about The Book of Grickle, animation, process and more. [Drawn!]
Creators | Michael Cavna interviews writer Gene Weingarten, whose syndicated comic strip Barney & Clyde (with co-writer Dan Weingarten and artist David Clark) debuts Monday from The Washington Post Writers Group. [Comic Riffs]
Creators | Taylor Maurand profiles cartoonist Kristen Caven, creator of the recently released memoir Perfectly Revolting: My 'Glamorous' Cartooning Career. [San Jose Mercury News]
Comics | Frank Santoro points to the $1 reprint of Jonah Hex #1 as an example of "how photo-referencing has taken all the fun, gesture and action out of comics." [Comics Comics]
Comics | Ethan Kaye counts down "The 10 Most Ridiculous Comic Book Nazis." I protest the inclusion of the indisputably awesome War Wheel from Blackhawk. [Topless Robot]
Pop culture | It turns out that Patrick Boivin, the guy behind that Iron Baby parody video, started out as a horror-comic artist. [Guelph Mercury]
Classy move putting an exclamation mark at the end of the Steve Perry headline on the front page.
Maybe, just maybe, there are some stories that don't suit your exciting! news! now! template, hmm?
"Union representatives dressed as Marvel superheroes delivered a letter"
Uh… did they think their letter would be better received?
Jiminy, maybe you ought to dress up as a cricket and deliver a letter to Kevin Melrose illustrating your concern over your percieved overabundance of exclamation marks on CBR.
Boy, I can't believe you had the time on your hands to comment on this. And I can't believe I had the time to comment on your comment. 'Course, I'm home with a summer flu…so that's my excuse..

Washington State is still set to play at Wisconsin in 2015, WSU sports information director Bill Stevens told FBSchedules.com.
In an email, Stevens said "we had previously moved our Wisconsin game in 2015 to Sept. 19."
Last week, Wisconsin announced that they will face the Alabama Crimson Tide at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Sept. 5, 2015. That was the same date that Washington State was slated to visit Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
The two schools are also scheduled to open the 2014 season on August 30 at Martin Stadium in Pullman. The 2014 and 2015 games are part of a two-for-one football series that began in Madison in 2007.
Interestingly, contact with the Wisconsin athletics department about the 2015 Washington State game did not yield the same response.
"Because of the all the uncertainty with the conference schedule at this point, the only set game we have right now for 2015 is the Alabama game to kick off the season," Brian Lucas, Wisconsin Director of Athletic Communications wrote.
Wisconsin is likely just covering their bases as future Big Ten schedules are in flux. The conference will move to a nine or ten-game football schedule, perhaps as early as 2014 when Maryland and Rutgers join.
With that impending change, future non-conference schedules for every Big Ten team could also be affected.
Football Schedules
Won't be surprised if Mike Leach wants out of this game. Early on in his days at Texas Tech, he bashed his AD for setting up tough games, like at Ohio State in 2002
Sorry Derek, but don't be surprised if it's the Badgers backing out of this game. Try to find the last time Wisconsin scheduled two NC games in the same season from BCS Conferences? Barry may think and talk big, but he's still Barry. The only difference now is that he won't be blamed for the loss. Once a schmuck, always schmuck.
Wow Chuck, calling Barry A. a schmuck. I thought it was only us in the Pac 12 that thought and knew he was blow-heart. I looked back ten+ years and couldn't find where Wisconsin has extended their non-conference schedule. As you said, "thinks and talks big" but….

I know this would never happen but just for fun.
-Trade 2nd round pick to Baltimore for OT Gaithers
-Trade 2011 1st with 2010 3rd 4th and 6th to the Raiders for their 2010 8th draft pick
(oakland wants a first round pick in 2011 which they traded away, and cant afford to pay anymore top ten picks big money so they make this trade lol)
-Sign OG chester pitts to take over for Baas.
#8 Eric Berry S seachickens take an OT with #6, Browns take Clausen
#13 CJ Spiller RB/RS
#17 Kyle Wilson CB
#145 George Selvie DE/OLB
#206 Kade Weston NT
#224 Scott Sicko TE
End up with Gaithers, Pitts, Berry, Spiller, Wilson, Selvie, Weston and Sicko.
result=SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!
Yes, I know of the financial hit 3 first rounders as well as signing gaithers would be
I know trades in the draft are highly unlikely
I know Oakland would most likely not make that trade, and Baltimore would probably ask for a 4th rounder as well.
This was just a fun thought and I'd like to hear what you guys think about it.

Transformers: Age of Extinction: Stanley Tucci and Li Bingbing are featured in new images (above and below) from Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction. Reportedly, Tucci plays an "arrogant designer" while Bingbing portrays the head of the program for human-created Transformers. Mark Wahlberg stars; the movie hits theaters on June 27. [Collider]
Cloaked: Robert Downey Jr. will produce Cloaked, a supernatural horror comedy that is said to be "in the vein of An American Werewolf in London." It's not clear if Downey will star, but he and his wife (and producing partner) Susan Downey developed the concept with writer Derek Connolly (Jurassic World; Monster Trucks) before pitching it to Warner Bros., which has acquired the property. Connolly will now write the screenplay. [Deadline]
Fantastic Voyage: Writer David S. Goyer (Man of Steel) has been brought on board James Cameron's Fantastic Voyage. It's a remake of the 1966 science-fiction movie in which a team of scientists are shrunken down in size in order to enter the body of a stricken fellow scientist and perform life-saving surgery. The project has been in development for a long time, but it has now been placed on the fast track by Fox, with high expectations for the treatment that Goyer has been hired to write. [Heat Vision]
The Salvation Trailer: Mads Mikkelsen (TV's Hannibal) stars in The Salvation as a Scandinavian family man who emigrates to the American West, only to see his wife killed. After he avenges her death, he finds himself the target of further vengeance in a Western that looks tough and bloody. Eva Green and Jeffrey Dean Morgan also star; the movie will screen soon at the Cannes Film Festival. [Twitch]

- Turn the bag upside down, with the twine sticking out of the top.
- Decorate the bag to look like a ghost by gluing lengths of white streamers onto the bag at various points until the bag is completely covered. Streamers should hang about 6 inches below the bottom of the bag.
- Using construction paper and scissors, cut out circles for the ghost's eyes and mouth. Glue these onto the crepe paper on the face of your ghost. You can even add HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates for eyes.
- Hang your ghost piñata in an area clear of furniture or other objects.
- Blindfold players one at a time, and let them take turns beating the piñata with a broomstick until it breaks open and releases the candy.

I hear "dayta" more often, but what's the correct pronunciation?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Wiktionary marks:
Merriam-Webster lists all three pronunciations, and provides a sound file for /ˈdeɪtə/.
That depends on which country you live in and what your definition of "correct" is. The US and Australia, for example, predominantly use "dayta" but New Zealanders say "dahta".
In short, either is correct but different countries' cultures have different norms.
There's no such thing as "correct" pronunciation.
Now, to answer your question, here's what LPD3 says on this (Wells 2008):
Preference polls
ˈdeɪtə 92%
ˈdɑːtə 6%
ˈdætə 2%
ˈdeɪțə 64%
ˈdæțə 35%
ˈdɑːțə 1%
NB: ț stands for the (voiced) alveolar tap (flap) here. Wells uses a slightly different symbol, not the usual IPA one.
In American English, either is acceptable. "Dah-tuh" is more common than "day-tuh" in my personal experience, though it's hard to say which is more prominent overall. (Regional speech differences can inflect the decision about pronunciation as well.)
I vaguely remember being told that day-ta was the correct pronunciation, and that was because there was a vowel (the second 'a') following the consonant (the 't'). Now whether or not that actually applies, someone please comment because I'd love to know if I was given a load of hogwash there.
Personal experience, I find that I hear and use day-ta more than dah-ta. It is similar to the different ways that 'SQL' is pronounced among us techies - some spell it out, and some pronounce it as "sequel". Thinking about it, I find that when it is the word "data" all by itself, I use day-ta, but when it is part of another word ("database", for example) I tend to use dah-ta instead. Again, not sure if this is something that I just happened to have picked up over the years or if it is even correct. Anyone else notice the different pronunciation in situations like this?
The NOAD reports the pronunciation as /ˈdædə/ /ˈdeɪdə/, using the American English IPA; using the British English IPA, the pronunciation is /ˈdeɪtə/.
The difference between /ˈdeɪdə/ and /ˈdeɪtə/ is the same difference between /ˈɪdəli/ and /ˈɪtəli/ (the pronunciation for Italy).
Am I the only person who thinks that the first vowel in "dah-ta" would be pronounced the same as the first syllable in "follow" rather than the first syllable in "batter"?
I don't know how to write that out phonetically, but "dah-ta", to me, would be pronounced "dahh-tahh".
In the City of London: ˈdeɪtə.

There's nothing holding back the corporations demanding another tax holiday from investing in America right now.
Tagged: Corporations
Super PACs represent the Enronization of our democracy.
Shareholders should reward CEOs for building better products or delivering better services, not for accounting gymnastics that game their tax bills down.
On a press conference call on Wednesday, August 31, report co-authors Chuck Collins and Scott Klinger discuss the 25 CEOs who were paid more in compensation last year than their corporations paid in taxes, as well as other report findings, and answer reporters' questions about the report.
Runaway CEO Pay Helped Create the Economic Crisis; So Why Are Politicians Still Covering For Rich Execs?
A new study looks at the worst executive excesses - while Congress continues to help CEOs hide their outrageous pay rates from the public.
Corporate tax dodging has gone so out of control that 25 major U.S. corporations paid their CEOs more than they paid the U.S. government in federal income taxes.
CEOs rake it in while their corporations dodge taxes.
Forty years ago, U.S. corporate honchos saw their power ebbing away - to a ragtag mob of long-hairs and loony social reformers. So they did what corporate honchos always do. They asked for a memo.
Dubious, albeit positive-sounding, promises from the corporate world can't substitute for more meaningful safeguards against corporate abuse.
The Walmart case is only one example of the Supreme Court's growing tendency to side with the interests of big corporations over the rights of ordinary citizens.

Hi everyone I have a file called Halls Engines in the directory Halls.
So the directory structure looks something like
Halls/Halls Engines
The file Halls Engines contains the following information:
I'm trying to write a script that takes in two parameters - family name and file name which isn't working too well.
The final code should print out an initial line containing the file name and family name and the given name and salary of all those with the specified family name.
This is the code I've written so far:
cd Halls
for filename in $2
echo "Subsidiary=$2 Family Name=$1"
awk -F, '$1 ~/$1/{print $1 " has a salary of " $3}'
So this is how I would run the script (saved as ss1):
./ss1 Brown "Halls Engines"
This should return something:
Brown has a salary of £24000
Brown has a salary of £26000
But I get no output past the echo statement. Any advice on how I can sort this problem out?
