Bond market discipline of banks: is the market tough enough?
As the banking business grows more complex, government supervisors of banks seem increasingly willing to share the role of policing bank risk with private investors, especially bondholders. This paper investigates the disciplinary role of markets using bond spreads, ratings, and bank portfolio data on over 4,100 new bonds issued between 1993 and 1998, including almost 600 bond issues by banks and bank holding companies. We find that the bond spread/rating relationship is the same for the bank issues as for nonbank issues, especially among the investment grade issues. This suggests that the bond market prices public measures of bank risk efficiently. Investors also look beyond the ratings, as spreads on the bank issues depend on the underlying portfolio of assets and loans. Banks contemplating a shift into riskier activities like trading, for example, can expect to pay higher spreads as a result. That is market discipline. The market, however, appears relatively soft on bigger banks and less transparent banks, pointing to possible slippage in the disciplinary mechanism for banks either considered too big to fail or too hard to understand by the bond market.

Unless you've been securely wedged under a rock over the past 24 hours, you know that the U.S. Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which had established a federal definition of marriage as a legal union only between one man and one woman.
Yesterday, as Justice Anthony Kennedy read the opinion of the Court in U.S. v. Windsor, I can only imagine that his thoughts were consumed completely by the manner in which the extinction of DOMA would impact the future of the Family and Medical Leave Act. Right?
But let's not leave this to chance. In the unlikely event that Justice Kennedy (and the rest of the Court's majority) didn't fully appreciate how the FMLA might be impacted, we've got the Court's back, as we discuss the issue more fully below:
How FMLA is Impacted after the Fall of DOMA
As we know, the FMLA allows otherwise eligible employees to take leave to care for a family member with a serious health condition. "Family member" includes the employee's spouse which, under the FMLA regulations, is defined as:
a husband or wife as defined or recognized under State law for purposes of marriage in the State where the employee resides, including common law marriage in States where it is recognized. 29 C.F.R. 825.102
a husband or wife as defined or recognized under State law for purposes of marriage in the State where the employee resides, including common law marriage in States where it is recognized. 29 C.F.R. 825.102
Initially, this seems to suggest that the DOL would look to state law to define "spouse." Not so fast. According to a 1998 Department of Labor opinion letter, the DOL acknowledged that the FMLA was bound by DOMA's definition that "spouse" could only be a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or wife. Thus, the DOL has taken the position that only DOMA's definitions could be recognized for FMLA leave purposes. As result, FMLA leave has not been made available to same-sex spouses.
That changed yesterday, at least in part.
What's Clear about FMLA After the Court's Ruling
In striking down a significant part of DOMA, the Supreme Court cleared the way for each state to decide its own definition of "spouse." Thus, if an employee is married to a same-sex partner and also lives in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage, the employee will be entitled to take FMLA leave to care for his/her spouse who is suffering from a serious health condition, for military caregiver leave, or to take leave for a qualifying exigency when a same-sex spouse called to active duty in a foreign country in the military.
What's Unclear about FMLA After the Court's Ruling
But what about employees who live in a state that does not recognize same-sex marriage? Are they entitled to FMLA leave to care for their spouse?
As an initial matter, the regulations look to the employee's "place of domicile" (state of primary residence) to determine whether a person is a spouse for purposes of FMLA. Therefore, even if the employee formerly lived or was married in a state that recognized the same-sex marriage, he/she is unlikely to be considered a spouse in the "new" state for purposes of FMLA if the state does not recognize the marriage. This is no small issue, since 30+ states currently do not recognize same-sex marriage and some don't go all the way (e.g., Illinois, which recognizes same-sex unions, not marriages).
Surely, some might argue that the United States Constitution requires other states to recognize the marriage; however, this issue is far from settled. My friend and Indiana University Maurer School of Law professor Steve Sanders writes a compelling article for SCOTUSblog contending that an individual married in one state maintains a "significant liberty interest" under the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause as to the ongoing existence of the marriage.
Here, employers clearly need some help from the DOL. Might the DOL draft regulations on how employers administer the FMLA in situations where the employee's spouse is not recognized under state law? If so, we could see the DOL give life to concepts such as a "State of Celebration" rule, in which a spousal status is determined based on the law of the State where the employee got married.
Without more guidance, it still is too early to tell where this question is heading. Nevertheless, the employer community looks forward to helping shape these rules.
Other Key Benefits Affected by the DOMA Decision
FMLA is not the only federal law impacted by the fall of DOMA. If federal regulations follow through, some of the notable federal laws and benefits impacted may include:

Well considering I don't shave/wax my pubic hair at all, i'd have to say my DH would not only have a huge WTF moment, he'd probably pass out from laughing too much.
I mean, seriously? Vajazzling? Making our vagina's sparkley so the look 'pretty'? I don't bloody think so
here hubby hubby hubby, i'm going to penazzle you...
No freaking way.
Nothing surprises me lately lol. What a ridiculous waste of time, money and effort.
TBH I dont think hubby would even notice! He'd be too excited that my pants were off!
Considering that hubby bought me some razers today, because my legs were so hairy, I really dont think I'm one for a jeweled v-jayjay!!

Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, recently announced the addition of the NPR-XD to its N-Series diesel trucks line-up. The new truck, which advertises a gross vehicle weight rating of 16,000-lb., will bridges the gap between the NPR-HD, 14,500-pound GVWR, and the GVWR NQR, 17,950-pound GVWR.
"This new diesel model meets a number of vocational applications and requirements that previously might have required moving from an NPR-HD up to the NQR," said Shaun Skinner, executive vice president and general manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, in a recent statement.
The NPR-XD standard cab will be available in 109-, 132.5-, 150-, and 176-inch wheelbases and will provide a body/payload allowance ranging from 9,281 to 9,490 pounds. While the NPR-XD crew cab will be available in 150- and 176-inch wheelbases and will provide a body/payload allowance ranging from 8,711 to 8,779 pounds.
Powering the NPR-XD will be the Isuzu 4HK1-TC 5.2-liter turbocharged diesel engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which will deliver 215 horsepower and 452 pounds-feet of torque at 1,850 rpm. The engine carries a B10 durability of 310,000 miles, which, according to the manufacturer, means that 90% of engines should reach that mileage before requiring an overhaul.
The NPR-XD is available for order now and will be at dealers at the end of August.

The economy has taken a hit and is very shaky, but many people think the worst is yet to come.
If that's the case, this video's a perfect representation.
Thank you for using Spoofee.com
The economy that is picking up is all due to Bush. In fact, it was Obama and the Democrats fault that it got all messed up in the first place. The stock market is climbing thanks to Bush, and people are out shopping more thanks to Bush.
I cant believe that Obama is trying to say that hes the cause of the picking up economy when it was his fault, and Clintons that ruined it in the first place.

If someone adds comments to a bug but doesn't change any other fields, the
bugmail I get has five blank lines between the bug URL and the "additional
comments" line. That forces me to scroll down just to see who made the
change. IMO, there should just be one blank line.
Mass moving to new product Bugzilla...
We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16. We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut. Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18. If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.
Changing default owner of Email Notifications component to JayPee, a.k.a.
J. Paul Reed (firstname.lastname@example.com). Jake will be offline for a few months.
*** Bug 198919 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Unloved bugs targetted for 2.18 but untouched since 9-15-2003 are being
retargeted to 2.20
If you plan to act on one immediately, go ahead and pull it back to 2.18.

fix based on 2.18rc2
Attaching our solution based on 2.18rc2. This also changes slightly the look
of the changes for dependency bugs (prepends a |) so that it stands out a
little better. I figured I'd submit this for anyone else who wanted a quick
fix. This will need to get reviewed, etc. if it's going to get checked in
(which I can't do).

fix based on tip
Updated based on the CVS tip and cleaned up a couple of minor whitespace issues
in the code.
I just noticed that this patch undoes what bug 107580 created. Here and I
thought it was an accident. So, I'll need a new patch to not undo bug 107580...

fix based on 2.18rc2
Removing r? from obsolete attachment.
As preed is no longer actively working on Bugzilla (from what I know), I somehow
doubt that this bug will make it in for 2.20. :-) If I'm wrong, feel free to
take it back and re-target it. :-)

v3 - updated due to bitrot
Bitrot has set in. Here's a new patch that should apply cleanly to the tip.
It includes the change to remove the extra space in $substs{"neworchanged"} now
that bug 31314 has landed. No need to mess up the subject lines if real
threading support is there.

v3 - updated due to bitrot
Hi Todd,
Sorry for the delay.
This patch includes 3 unrelated changes. We try to fill separate bugs for each
different change.
In this case, splitting this patch in 3 parts would make the review process
easier. There are too many unrelated changes in order to get to this fast
Regarding your first change:
-> you're adding a new char; would this be enough to change the 76 limit to 75?
Can multiple | chars be appended at the beginning of a line, in such a way that
75 would need to be lower than that? (I guess no but asking to be sure).
Regarding the second change:
-> this would change the sort-order in mail clients for those that sort by
Subject. It would split "new" mails into 2 groups: at the beginning of the
inbox, for those created before this modification goes in, and somewhere in the
middle, for those created after this modification goes in. Not saying that it's
something due to which review- should be granted, just saying this for
Regarding your third change, I only have some questions right now:
-> should the regexps be multilined (the /m option at the end of the line, next
to the g option?)
-> depending on the answer to the first question, is the second regexp enough
in order to cover the \s* stuff in the 3rd one?
The actual reason for r- is the 3-changes-in-one-patch thing. As you can see
there are several issues to address (we want to make sure everything is ok
before commiting) and having separate bugs for each issue would help focus
discussion better.
If you could open bugs and create patches for the first 2 changes and keep this
bug for the 3rd change, it would be great.
I'd be happy to review the patch for the 3rd change, together with the answers
to those questions :-)
Created attachment 350938 [details] [diff] [review]
Wow, I am amazed that this has never been fixed. In any case, it was really simple, here's the patch. I tested this with the following configurations:
* Adding an attachment during bug creation and requesting review, with a comment.
* Changing a bug with just a comment
* Changing a bug with just field changes
* Changing a bug with both field changes and a comment
And all of them look fine to me, now.
We could theoretically put this into 3.2, but it touches the email template, which a lot of people customize, and it's also one of the most-commonly-seen things in Bugzilla, and people tend to be touchy about things like that, so for now I'm targeting it to the trunk.
I want this for bmo, too.
Well, with at least that one voice, there are probably others who feel the same, particularly considering how old this bug is. How about we just fix it for 3.2.1, since it's a high gain for a low risk.
(In reply to comment #16)
> Well, with at least that one voice, there are probably others who feel the
> same
YaY! You bet. Thanks for picking this up Max.
I thought I had plugged for this a long time ago - a serious annoyance, especially now that thunderbird is losing some vertical space. Now looking for an extension to remove extra blank lines from message display for the bugmail archive. If anyone finds such an extension or function please post in the bug.
Comment on attachment 350938 [details] [diff] [review]
Looks nice for all three bug change cases (comment only, diffs and comment and diffs only) but seems to produce funky output for new bugs:
---! quote start !---
Summary: New bug filed!
Classification: Unclassified
Estimated Hours: 42.0
Testing new bug filing.
---! quote end !---
Like you can see, first field indentation is wrong and comment touches the last field.
>Index: template/en/default/email/newchangedmail.txt.tmpl
>-[%+ diffs %]
>+[%+ FILTER trim %][% diffs %][% END %]
Is there a reason for this complex FILTER syntax? Is this trimming even necessary or would chomping of newlines suffice?
:( missed v3.2.1 and 3.2.3.
With compact header now gone from native thunderbird, plus extensions like bugmail taking screen height, getting rid of bugmail's blanks lines will be an even greater blessing. so sev=minor>normal
Created attachment 385273 [details] [diff] [review]
Okay, this should fix it.
Comment on attachment 385273 [details] [diff] [review]
This still doesn't fix the problem reported in comment 0. If there is a comment only (and no field change), your patch makes no difference.
Note that parts of the bugmail look very close to each other when you change a field and comment. Not sure that's nicer. The bugmail looks very compact.
Can we take the patch as is and leave this open for a follow up patch? The major issue IMO is *not* when there is only a comment.
Created attachment 395126 [details] [diff] [review]
Okay, here we go! Tested in every configuration, seems to work fine and handle the problem everywhere.
Comment on attachment 395126 [details] [diff] [review]
Yes, works fine. r=LpSolit
3.2 is restricted to security bugs.

The Moving Pixels Podcast crew decided to follow up on last week's discussion of "Real Evil in Video Games" with a discussion of the various villains in games that are of a more idealized nature than the simulations of real life villainy that we had previously concerned ourselves with.
The resulting discussion took several different forms, including discussion of how gamers view conflicts within games themselves, the "evils" of various forms of antagonism within game narratives and also game mechanics themselves.
As a result, some of this discussion may be concerned with villains that represent more abstracted forms of evil but may also confront the more "malicious" obstacles embedded in the design of a game.

The hotel is very unique and botique. The staff is beyond friendly. The design touches are great. If you looked at the hotel squinting, it would look very high end. But a more detailed look shows you it's not an expensively done up hotel, but still nicely done for the budget they had. Valet parking can be a bit of a nightmare if they have an event going on, which is frustrating, but other than that is was great. They do a good free breakfast in the morning. It's great having Santana Row shopping and restaurants right out the door. Shops are open until 9pm!

Lorne Hyman Greene,[1] OC (born Lyon Himan Green;[2] February 12, 1915 – September 11, 1987) was a Canadian actor, radio personality, and singer.
His television roles include Ben Cartwright on the western Bonanza, and Commander Adama in the science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica and Galactica 1980. He also worked on the Canadian television nature documentary series Lorne Greene's New Wilderness, and in television commercials.
Early life and career in Canada[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Greene was born Lyon Himan Green in Ottawa, Ontario,[2] to Russian Jewish immigrants, Dora (née Grinovsky) and Daniel Green, a shoemaker.[3] He was called "Chaim" by his mother, and his name is shown as "Hyman" on his school report cards. In his biography, the author, his daughter Linda Greene Bennett, stated that it was not known when he began using "Lorne", nor when he added an "e" to Green.[2] Greene was the drama instructor at Camp Arowhon, a summer camp in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada, where he developed his talents.
Greene began acting while attending Queen's University in Kingston, where he acquired a knack for broadcasting with the Radio Workshop of the university's Drama Guild on the campus radio station CFRC. He gave up on a career in chemical engineering and, upon graduation, found a job as a radio broadcaster for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). During World War II Green served as a Flying officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was assigned as the principal newsreader on the CBC National News. The CBC gave him the nickname "The Voice of Canada"; however, his role in delivering distressing war news in sonorous tones with his deep, resonant voice following Canada's entry into World War II in 1939 caused many listeners to call him "The Voice of Doom", particularly since he was delegated the assignment of reading the dreaded list of soldiers killed in the war. During his radio days, Greene invented a stopwatch that ran backwards;[4] this helped radio announcers gauge how much time was left, while speaking.
He narrated documentary films, such as the National Film Board of Canada's Fighting Norway (1943). In 1957 Greene played the prosecutor in Peyton Place. Katharine Cornell cast him twice in her Broadway productions. In 1953, he was cast in The Prescott Proposals. In that same year, she cast him in a verse drama by Christopher Fry, The Dark is Light Enough. Greene began appearing in isolated episodes on live television in the 1950s. In 1953, he was seen in the title role of a one-hour adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello. In 1955 he was Ludwig van Beethoven in an episode of the TV version of You Are There. In 1954 he made his Hollywood debut as Saint Peter in The Silver Chalice and made several more films and appearances on American television.[citation needed]
American television[edit]

The first of his continuing TV roles was as the patriarch Ben "Pa" Cartwright in Bonanza; the first one-hour western series filmed in colour (1959–1973), making Greene a household name. He garnered the role after his performance as O'Brien in the CBS production of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
In the 1960s, Greene capitalized on his image as Benjamin "Pa" Cartwright by recording several albums of country-western/folk songs, which Greene performed in a mixture of spoken word and singing. In 1964, Greene had a #1 single on the music charts with his spoken-word ballad, "Ringo" (which referred to the real-life Old West outlaw Johnny Ringo, not to Ringo Starr of the Beatles), and got a lot of play time from "Saga of the Ponderosa", which detailed the Cartwright founding of the famous ranch.
In 1973, after the cancellation of Bonanza following a 14-year run, Greene joined Ben Murphy in the ABC crime drama, Griff, about a Los Angeles, California, police officer, Wade "Griff" Griffin, who retires to become a private detective. When it failed to gain sufficient ratings and was cancelled after 13 episodes, Greene thereafter hosted the syndicated nature documentary series Last of the Wild from 1974-75.[5]
In the 1977 miniseries Roots, he played the first master of Kunta Kinte, John Reynolds. Through the 1970s, Greene was the spokesman for Alpo Beef Chunks dog food commercials, one of the possible origins of the phrase "Eating your own dog food.[6] In 2007, TV Guide listed Ben Cartwright as the nation's second most popular TV Father (behind Cliff Huxtable). Greene was also known for his role as Commander Adama, another patriarchal figure, in the science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica (1978–1979) and Galactica 1980 (1980). Greene's typecasting as a wise father character continued with the 1981 series, Code Red as a Fire Department Fire Chief whose command includes his children as subordinates. Greene made an appearance with his former Bonanza co-star Michael Landon on an episode of Highway to Heaven.
In the 1980s Greene devoted his energies to wildlife and environmental issues and he was the host and narrator of the nature series, Lorne Greene's New Wilderness a show which promoted environmental awareness.[7]
He appeared in the HBO mockumentary The Canadian Conspiracy, about the supposed subversion of the United States by Canadian-born media personalities. For nearly a decade, Greene co-hosted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC with Betty White. He is also fondly remembered as the founder of Toronto's Academy of Radio Arts (originally called the Lorne Greene School of Broadcasting).[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (October 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Greene was married twice, first to Rita Hands of Toronto (1938–1960, divorced). Some reports list the start of their marriage as 1940. They had two children, twins born in 1945: Charles Greene and Mrs. Belinda Susan Bennett. His second wife was Nancy Deale (1961–1987, Greene's death), with whom he had one child, Gillian Dania Greene.
The Ponderosa II House was built by Greene in 1960 in Mesa, Arizona. It is located at 602 S. Edgewater Drive. It is a replica of the Bonanza set house from the former Ponderosa Ranch in Incline Village, Nevada. It is listed in the Mesa Historic Property Register.
Greene died on September 11, 1987 at age 72 of complications from pneumonia, following ulcer surgery, in Santa Monica, California. He was interred at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City.[citation needed][8] Weeks before his death, Greene had signed to appear in a revival of Bonanza, whose storyline included characters played by his own daughter Gillian, along with Michael Landon Jr.
Greene was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on October 28, 1969, "For services to the Performing Arts and to the community."[9]
Greene was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by his alma mater, Queen's University, in 1971.[10] He was the 1987 recipient of the Earle Grey Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Canadian Gemini Awards. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1559 N. Vine Street.
In May 2006, Greene became one of the first four entertainers to ever be honoured by Canada Post by being featured on a 51-cent postage stamp.[8]
In February 1985, Greene was the Krewe of Bacchus King of Mardi Gras.[11]
Greene was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2015.[12]

The dinner buffet, with all kinds of Finish dishes was amazing. Love it! I will come back when I visit Helsinki again.
Our favourite meal in Finland. This restauarant is a true finish experience. A traditional restaurant run and managed professionally by the owner and her brother. The restaurant is small and compact and offers a buffet service only, however the quality of food and value for money is exceptional.
The owner explained all of the courses to us, and shared a...
Amazing buffet with some super local food. Enjoyed it very much and service is top. Atmosphere has something special and the price is right.
We walked quite a distance to this restaurant without a reservation and got lucky. We saw plenty of people turned away so it's a good idea to book.
It's got a lovely cosy atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff and plenty to choose from. It's a buffet style set up so may not suit all, depending on what type of...
They have a buffet full of FInnish food every evening at Konstan Möljä. If you have a foreign friend (as a Finn) who would like to try different kinds of Finnish foods and get they belly full, this is the place to go to. Different varieties of dishes and tasty too. Do book a table before-hand though. It is always...
We went to the Konstan Möljä as it was close to our Hotel and we were looking something typically finnish.
We felt home as soon as we got inside.
The food from the buffet was very tasty and some kind of grandma's style e.g. meatballs and mashed potatoes or some kind of stew of lamb, beef and achovies. But the...
The reviews on Tripadvisor persuaded me to try Konstan Molja and I was not disappointed. I took previous advice and made a reservation, which was just as well because there was a line at the door and several people without reservations had to wait for some time. We were shown straight to our table. The restaurant was very busy on...
This small, friendly restaurant has been run by the same family since the 12th of September 1981 (so the leaflet they give you explains) and has a quirky charm which we enjoyed very much. The owners have a strong and proud sense of their sea-Karelian family history and are most hospitable.
We'd had a very enjoyable (but, by our normal...
We were drawn to this authentic Finnish restaurant by its rustic maritime decor and the promise of typical food of Finland. The family-run restaurant is not huge so we'd booked in advance. There was an array of hot & cold Finnish fare on offer and you could venture up to the buffet table as many times as you liked. Between...
Nice food. 0wner/host was nice and friendly.. we took a stroll from Helsinki station to the restaurant and took about 15-20 min. Recommended

The polyethersulfone membrane filters have excellent flowspeeds and, connected to it, a high filtrable volume. Biologic and pharmaceutic solutions can be filtered, in the wide pH-range 0f pH 2-12, because of their low protein adsorption. Furthermore, the membranes are very well suitable for samples of the enviromental sector. The filter with 0.1µm are used for the ultracleaning of solutions,e.g. in case of nephelometry
Polyethersulfone (PES) filters have a high internal porosity. They perform well at high flux with an excellent throughput of aqueous solutions over the entire pH range of 1–14. Thanks to their low non-specific protein adsorption the PES type is recommended for filtering biological and pharmaceutical solutions. The low level of extractables from PES membranes makes them suitable for environmental analysis.

20 North Gallery Hosts "Black History Month 2013: The American Experience"
Featuring work by 10 Midwestern African-American artists, including nationally-distinguished Steven S. Walker - The oldest Black History Month celebration in Toledo, the 36th annual exhibit is now a community exhibition, self-curated by the artists.
Toledo, OH—January 21, 2013. On Friday, January 25th, the art exhibit "Black History Month 2013: The American Experience" will open at 20 North Gallery. The exhibition will continue through Saturday, March 2, 2013. This annual exhibit was founded by Peggy Grant (Art Director Emerita of 20 North Gallery) in 1977, shortly after Congress enacted legislation recognizing the month of February as Black History Month in the United States. Since then, the show has been exhibited throughout various locations in the Toledo community and for eighteen years has been proudly presented at 20 North Gallery. This event has become an integral part of Toledo's Black History Month celebrations—
Each year's exhibit showcases artwork of the best Black artists of the region, as well as many nationally recognized artists. The exhibition is made possible this year by the dedicated efforts of the Black History Month Exhibit Committee, chaired by artist Aaron S. Bivins, and is supported by the generous contributions of the City of Toledo / Mayor Michael P. Bell; JN House Enterprises, Inc.; Dale-Riggs Funeral Home, Inc.; Aaron Bivins, 20 North Gallery and other community-minded corporations and individuals.
Now a cooperative community exhibition, self-curated by the participating artists, the 36th annual Black History Month exhibit celebrates the "American Experience" from the perspective of ten local and regional African-American artists. Displayed in "Black History Month 2013: The American Experience" will be the work of celebrated Toledo-area artists: Larenza Arnold; Aaron S. Bivins; Charles T. Gabriel, Jr.; Elizabeth V. Jordan; Ahavalyn Pitts; Brenda Price; Robert E. Shorter and Mack Walton; as well as John Wade III from Ft. Wayne, Indiana and sweeping landscape paintings by the exhibit's nationally-distinguished featured artist, Steven S. Walker of Westerville, Ohio.
Steven S. Walker (Westerville, Ohio) "Black History Month 2013" Featured Artist: Born in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Steven S. Walker has always been captivated by art. After earning his BFA at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, he began his career as a freelance illustrator. He has since worked with numerous clients such as the Boy Scouts of America, "Highlights for Children" magazine, the Columbus Marathon and the National Cherry Blossom Festival. In that time span, he also illustrated five children's books.
Only a few years after graduation, Walker was asked to teach on a part-time basis at his alma mater. After teaching for a few semesters, he decided to pursue his MFA at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
After earning his MFA, he began focusing his efforts toward fine art. After a string of small shows at coffee shops and libraries, his focus turned to gallery exhibition. Since his venture into gallery life, his landscapes have been well received by collectors. His paintings are part of several permanent corporate and public collections such as Hilton Hotels, the Boy Scouts of America, Dominion Resources and the United States Air Force.
Steven S. Walker has been included in numerous local and national competitions including the "Richeson 75 Landscape Competition"
Mr. Walker resides with his wife Evelyn in Westerville, Ohio where he participates with several local art groups when he's not preparing for a show or teaching workshops. Currently, his work is represented by the B. Deemer Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky; The Sharon Weiss Gallery in Columbus, Ohio; Vision Gallery in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina; Nan Miller Gallery in Rochester, New York and the Glave Kocen Gallery in Richmond, Virginia.
20 North Gallery, the Black History Month Exhibit Committee and the exhibiting artists will be welcoming friends and collectors at the free Opening Reception on Friday, January 25th, from 6 - 9p.m. Reception attendees can begin Black History Month by enjoying light refreshments and conversations with these regional artists and reminiscences with exhibition founder, Peggy Grant. Special tribute will be paid to the exhibition sponsors and supporters at 7p.m.

My co-authored article, with colleagues Esther Weltevrede and Carolin Gerlitz, has been published in Theory, Culture & Society Abstract This paper inquires in the politics of real-time in online media. It suggests that real-time cannot be accounted for as a universal temporal frame in which events happen, but explores the making of real-time from a device perspective focusing on the temporalities of platforms. Based on an empirical study exploring the pace at which various online media produce new content, we trace the different rhythms, patterns or tempos created by the interplay of devices, users' web activities and issues. What emerges are distinct forms of 'realtimeness' which are not external from but specific to devices organized through socio-technical arrangements and practices of use. Realtimeness thus unflattens more general accounts of the real-time web and research, and draws attention to the agencies built into specific platform temporalities and the political economies of making real-time. The full article is available online at Theory, Culture & Society and available for download as pdf.Continue Reading

The ephemerality of content hosting sites
This is a snapshot from a thread about "Child Stars: Then and Now" on the FOK forum, one of the biggest fora in the Netherlands. It is exemplary of fora whose community members rely on image content hosting sites to submit their content to a thread. Ephemerality has a connection to the real-time stream1 where data 'flows by' and Twitter limits access to 'old' content by only providing updates from the past two weeks. The FOK forum does archive itself but since its members rely on third-party content hosting sites old threads become unreadable. Imagine what 4chan will look like in 5 years? The popular discussion board 4chan takes a different approach to 'archiving' its forum which is closer to the idea of the ephemerality of streams within social media platforms. As described in "4chan and/B: an Analysis of Anonymity and Ephemerality in a Large Online Community" 4chan is rendered ephemeral through specific design choices: Content ephemerality on 4chan is enforced by thread expiration and a large volume of incoming content. Threads begin on page one and are pushed down as new threads are added. If a user replies to a thread, it is bumped back to the top of the […]Continue Reading
The Next Web: Joe Stump on "Combining Location and real time, that's hot!"
Joe Stump is the CTO of SimpleGeo, a company that could be described as a S3 for location services. A few stats: Lat-long timestamp per user id: every 30 seconds users update their location which amounts to 1,6 petabytes per year. Location-based services amount to about 128.000 dollar a month in S3 costs: No wonder Twitter has problems scaling! 500m Facebook users produce about 37,2GB per minute. As the production of data increases, its inherent value decreases. Content is no longer king, context is king. Apple has sold 50m iPhones and each iPhone 3GS has 6 sensors. If we tie those sensors to location, what interesting things can we do with these sensors? What other types of sensors would be interesting? For example a thermometer, to measure the weather. Now, for the first time we have a realtime-based population density that can be a powerful dataset. The guy who caught the MIT Blackjack Team (casino scammers) has 20 years of experience in studying how to merge multiple identities. His main strategy is cross-referencing enormous databases. He found that the two most important pieces of information to give away an identity are time and location. People cannot be in two places […]Continue Reading
Google officially welcomes the updatesphere
Last month Google announced the launch of their Real Time Search engine. By including real time search results Google has now officially embraced the updatesphere as a subsphere of "The Web," as may be seen in the following figures. In my real time web results Google is indexing updates performed within the three popular micro-blogging platforms: Twitter, FriendFeed and Identi.ca. Notably absent are the status updates from the social networking site Facebook because of its partial walled garden structure. However, it may not be long before these updates will be included as well because Google recently made a deal with Facebook1. However, it is interesting to note that Google will only receive Facebook updates from public updates on pages (such as fan pages) while competing search engine Bing will receive updates from public profile pages (personal profiles) that are marked as visible for everyone. Already in 2008 Google started expanding its indexing focus to actions within social networks but the indexed actions were quite messy, for example: silvertje has started 0 topics. silvertje has made 1 reply. … silvertje replied on May 13, 2009 06:25 to the question "We want all …" Anteek added a contact: Anne Helmond.

Job Description for Chemical Engineer, Research & Development (R&D)
Chemical engineers in research and development (R&D) are responsible for researching, developing, and applying necessary chemical processes to create a wide range of items for both commercial and industrial uses. Most jobs in this field focus on researching and developing chemicals, as well as methods for producing and testing them, and using industry-specific software tools to judge the quality of methods and results of chemical development.Read More...
Many chemical process engineers are also responsible for managing laboratories, conducting audits, ensuring compliance to required specifications, and handling and removing occasionally-hazardous waste products. These engineers work primarily in laboratories on a full-time basis with overtime as necessary. Some chemical production companies work around-the-clock, allowing engineers to work shifts other than the traditional nine-to-five.
As they gain experience, chemical engineers may advance into management or other roles in which they take on more responsibilities, including employee development, maintaining legal safety and health requirements, and following standards in place for environmental protection. While many, if not most, entering the field receive some level of training from their employers, a bachelor's degree in chemistry or chemical/process engineering may be required for this position, and some employers may prefer those who have a master's degree.
Chemical Engineer, Research & Development (R&D) Tasks
- Oversee production environment, and track metrics like temperature, flow rate and electricity usage.
- Propose, design, and oversee solutions for chemical process issues.

Chapter 7: Pack your bags
The first light of a new day is the most remarkable sight. It signifies a new day and anything can be achieved in the time given to us every day. But so often it gets taken for granted, how many of you can actually say you have watched this, for something so simple it proves a challenge to acknowledge. "Hurry up Phillip quickly before mum gets home." The last of the bags had covered the backseat of the family sedan. "How long are we going to be gone for dad?" Phillip closed his door and fastened his seat belt. "A few days Son, I just want you to get the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors." They exchanged smiles before the engine broke the morning silence and slowly the vehicle disappeared from sight.
The lush green bushland brought about a strange wave of emotion for Tom; he had a strange sense of recognition but quickly dismissed it. The pair quickly set up the campsite and before long they were slouched over a campfire. "Hey dad why doesn't mum like you camping?" For a brief moment he was struck by the question or perhaps he was thinking of a reason himself. "I actually don't know Phil; I never understood why she got so mad at the idea." Tom pleased with his response decided it was best to call it a day. "Get some sleep ok, we have a massive day tomorrow, if you behave I might even let you have a shot from my rifle!" Tom winked at Phillip why raising his finger to his lip. He knew he was directly disobeying his wife when he packed his old hunting rifle. It was left to him after the mysterious death of the father. Make no mistake despite the man's ignorance it was a beautiful weapon, well balanced and neatly maintained.

BlueStar WR121M 1 Ton Window AC White
DDeepank rastogi
When looking at an air conditioner, it's usually better to opt for a split AC since it offers better cooling - especially for larger spaces - but window ACs are often better priced. The BlueStar WR121M is in an odd paradox since it's cheap but only for those who either can't afford higher or don't need consistent cooling throughout the day. As a window AC, the BlueStar WR121M's features include a cooling capacity of 1 ton, three fan speeds, 1400 watts power consumption and an 8.57 energy efficiency ratio. A bacteria filter is also included and you'll need to physically change the temperate settings. There's no remote bundled and the overall efficiency of the device comes into question since there is a reciprocating compressor. This results in more heat generated, more noise and decidedly less cooling efficiency. It's not possible to run the BlueStar WR121M for long periods at a time which is a big disadvantage for those in hot climates. The price of BlueStar WR121M is Rs. 15,500. This makes it a decent option for those who can't splurge on something higher grade from LG, Hitachi or even Whirlpool. Everyone else who is looking for a good AC that can be used throughout the day without worries about electricity bills (or noise levels) is advised to look elsewhere. Pros: - Cheap price - Decent energy efficiency overall - 1 ton cooling capacity Cons: - Reciprocating compressor included, which makes for more noise and generated heat - Lacking in extras and featuresRead less Read more
