Craig Smith is to step down as the chief financial officer of African Minerals, an Aim-listed miner which struck a $1.5bn investment deal with China last month.
The company, which is led by the colourful businessman Frank Timis, said Mr Smith would depart at the beginning of next month after helping with the transition of his successor.
Last month, Shandong Iron & Steel agreed to invest in African Minerals in a deal that will assist the development of the company's flagship Tonkolili iron ore project in Sierra Leone.
The agreement was the company's second investment deal with a Chinese group. In January, African Minerals sealed a pact with the China Railway Materials Commercial Corporation, a major Chinese steel trader.
Shares in African Minerals dropped by 3 per cent to 379p yesterday.Reuse content

Urban Trade is a relatively new retail clothing store, and I've only seen one of them in all my mall experience. They mainly sell Billabong, Quiksilver and the british brand Bench. Trying to find anything else there is near impossible. Not only is there a limited selection, but it is way expensive as well, and most things there can be bought at other places (even West 49) for a much better price. However, the store is very nicely layed out and very clean and tidy inside.
"I would have bought those Billabong jeans from Urban Trade, but West 49 had the same ones for $10 less"

Commerce: Professor Ingrid Woolard
Professor Ingrid Woolard became Dean of the Faculty of Commerce at the University of Cape Town on 1 March 2016.
Professor Woolard is a top-cited economics researcher and the country's foremost producer of survey data. She is a research associate of the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) and a research fellow of the Institute for the Study of Labour (IZA) in Bonn.
Her work focuses on labour markets, social protection, tax policy and the measurement of poverty and inequality. She is a graduate of the University of Natal, Durban (BSc in mathematical statistics and economics, 1992); UNISA (BA(Hons) in economics, 1995); and UCT (PhD in economics, 2002).
Professor Woolard cut her teeth on the country's first national living standards measurement survey in 1994, which SALDRU produced with the World Bank at the request of the ANC.
She was also a key team member in the second and third waves of the KwaZulu-Natal Income Dynamics Study. This used the KZN component of the 1993 Project for Statistics on Living Standards and Development and then re-interviewed this sample in 1998 and again in 2004. It was South Africa's first socio-economic panel survey and it pioneered the analysis of poverty and inequality dynamics in South Africa.
She was principal investigator for SALDRU's bid for the National Income Dynamics Study – the country's flagship national household panel survey – which was launched in 2008 and is currently in its fifth wave. It is South Africa's highest-profile national survey with the unique potential to reflect the country's evolving socio-economic dynamics.
Her contributions have been internationally recognised. She was the only South African labour economist to become a member of the labour market team within the Harvard Group that Treasury asked to prepare a South African growth strategy.
In 2011 the minister of labour appointed her to chair the Employment Conditions Commission on which she had served since 2008. This commission makes sectoral wage determinations for vulnerable workers not covered by formal wage bargaining procedures. Since 2013 she has served on the Davis Tax Committee, which advises the minister of finance on tax reform.

Isaac & Ishmael
Abraham in Gerar
Abraham decided to move south. He left Hebron, where he had dwelt for twenty-five years and went to Gerar, in the land of the Philistines.
As he had done in Egypt many years earlier, Abraham again concealed the fact that Sarah was his wife, fearing that the Philistines might want to slay him. Believing that Sarah was Abraham's sister, King Abimelech of the Philistines had her brought to the palace. But G‑d smote the king and his servants with plagues, so that they would not touch her. As soon as the king found out the cause of his punishment he called Abraham and begged his forgiveness. To make up for his wrong, he gave Abraham and Sarah many gifts. Abraham prayed to G‑d to cure Abimelech and his royal household, and the prayers were answered. Abimelech and his people knew that Abraham was a saintly man, and they begged him to stay in their land. Abraham, agreed, and resided in Gerar for twenty-six years.
Isaac's Birth
G‑d's promise was fulfilled. When Abraham was one hundred years old and his wife ninety,: Sarah gave birth to a son. Abraham called him Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, making him a party to the holy covenant G‑d had established with Abraham.
As we know, Isaac was not Abraham's first born, for Hagar had borne him Ishmael thirteen years earlier. But Ishmael had not grown up as his father had hoped. He was inclined towards many things Abraham considered wicked. Ishmael even prayed to idols when he believed himself unobserved.
Sarah observed him and realized that he would have a bad influence upon the young Isaac. She therefore implored Abraham to send Ishmael away. Abraham understood the motive of his wife's request, but he feared to send his son away to a place where he might become even worse. However, G‑d told Abraham to do as Sarah had requested, and Abraham then sent Hagar and Ishmael away, providing them with water and food for the journey.
The Miraculous Well
Hagar and Ishmael lost their way in the wilderness of Beer Sheba and soon ran out of water. Hagar could not watch the boy's suffering and put him in the shade of a bush, while she sat some distance away and cried. An angel then called to Hagar and assured her that G‑d had seen the suffering of her boy. He would live and become the father of a mighty nation. And suddenly, Hagar saw a spring nearby.
Hagar and Ishmael were saved from death and continued their journey. G‑d blessed the boy, for he was Abraham's son. Ishmael grew up into a strong man. He lived on the outskirts of the desert and became a great archer. Ishmael lived his life in his own way. He married and had many children. His children multiplied and became known under the name of Ishmaelites, or Arabs, the people of the desert.
Walid, on 11-2-2013 you said: "How can hagar carry a 13 year old son and walk in the desert Ishmael was a child when she took him away and this is the missing chapter. (And Abraham...put the child on [Hagar's] shoulder, and sent her away...) There is something wrong in your story."
There's nothing wrong. Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born. And Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born. So Ishmael was actually about 16 years old when Isaac was weaned and Ishmael was sent into the desert with his mother. So your question becomes: How could Hagar possibly have carried 16 yr. old Ishmael on her shoulder in the desert, whether or not he was healthy, when he would seem to have been too heavy? Consider that Abraham fathered children at 86 and 100 years old. Not normal by today's standards. And he lived to 175 years old. So human development seemed to be at LESS than half speed. That would mean that at 16 years old, Ishmael was equivalent to a 6-8 year old by today's standards.
Los Angeles
I see Christianity in the middle and as such can serve a bridge to form a much larger Abrahamic heritage.
what is the meaning of each name. I found one reference which says Ishmael is "God will hear".

Listen to 24/7 News: The Latest on iHeartRadio
Health officials in Texas are closely monitoring a second person for possible Ebola infection. WFAA-TV in Dallas reports the second individual had close contact with a man confirmed yesterday as the first person diagnosed with Ebola on U.S. soil.
Meanwhile, CDC teams are working to track down anyone who may have had contact with the patient. They'll keep an eye on those contacts for 21 days to make sure they don't show any symptoms.
Doctors have already tested three members of the ambulance crew who transported the patient to the hospital and all three turned up negative results. They were quarantined and will continue to be monitored for the next few weeks. The infected patient is believed to have contracted the often-fatal sickness in Liberia, but didn't show symptoms before flying to the United States.

Knight, Garrett take 1A's top honors
Jamarr Garrett
Meo Knight
Randi Brown
Central Catholic finished the girls' basketball season on top of the Class 1A ranks earlier this month, winning the school's first-ever Class 1A girls' basketball title.
The wave of honors continued as the squad swept the individual honors on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 1A All-State team released this weekend.
Central Catholic standout Meo Knight, a University of Alabama signee, took the Class 1A Most Valuable Player honors, while the Lady Eagles' head coach, Jamarr Garrett was named Class 1A Coach of the Year.
Teammate Randi Brown also was a first-team selection.
Knight, a senior, had per-game averages of 18.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 4.6 steals.
Garrett said it is a testament to the respect that Knight has statewide to get state MVP honors even though she didn't get the District's MVP award.
Brown earned first-team honors after recording per game averages of 24.7 points per game, 7.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 4.1 steals, earned the District MVP.
"It's just the icing on the cake for it all for them," Garrett said.
Both participated in the Louisiana Coaches Association All-Star game Saturday with Knight recording 12 points and five rebounds and Brown leading the West with 17 points and also recording six rebounds in an 89-86 loss.
Brown said last week she had scholarship offers from the University of Arkansas-Little Rock and Ole Miss. She said she would be deciding on her college destination in the coming weeks.
Garrett led the squad to a 29-4 mark in 2014.
Garrett said credit for his honor goes to assistant coach Joe Jones, who he said works just as hard as he does, and the players for doing the work on the court.
"We're all representing Central Catholic, and I guess that's just the most important thing," Garrett said.

Focus on gymnastics
|1. Burlington Co-op
|2. Franklin Combined
|3. Whitefish Bay
|4. Homestead
|5. Mukwonago / Kettle Moraine
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Franklin Combined. After a slow start, the defending WIAA Division 1 state champion has rounded into form. The team, made up of gymnasts from Franklin, Muskego, Oak Creek and Whitnall high schools, scored 141.425 in a dual meet against Mukwonago / Kettle Moraine, then posted a season-high 143.975 to finish second at the 11-team Falcon Invitational at Westosha Central.
GYMNAST OF THE WEEK: Emily Fuchs, West Allis Central / Hale. The junior won the vault (9.375) and the all-around (36.475) in a dual meet with Homestead. Fuchs won three medals at the 2011 WIAA Division 1 state meet: placing third in vault, fifth on the floor exercise and fifth in the all-around.
RECORD BREAKER: Burlington Co-op freshman Bailey Fitzpatrick won the all-around at the 30th annual Falcon Invitational with a record-setting score of 37.65. Fitzpatrick won the vault (9.6) and the balance beam (9.25) at the 11-team meet, which Burlington won with a high-flying score of 145.625 - the highest posted in the area this season. Fitzpatrick's all-around score surpassed the 37.6 posted by Racine Combined's Queenita Gamble in 2004. "The scary part for the other gymnasts is that she still can get better," said Bill Price, coach of host Westosha Central.
BORDER BATTLE: It wasn't exactly the Green Bay Packers against the Chicago Bears, but top-ranked Burlington Co-op had a tad extra motivation at the Falcon Invitational by going against New Trier, a team from Wilmette, Ill. The Trevians placed third in their sectional last season and came to Wisconsin with several top-notch competitors. "I think the girls wanted to see what they were like," said Burlington coach Diane Biedrzycki. "I think they were interested in going against a different team. I think they used it as a challenge." New Trier placed third at the meet with a 140.4, while Burlington won it and Franklin Combined was second (143.975). New Trier junior Kerry Scafidi, an Illinois state meet qualifier last season, finished second on the vault (9.55), second on bars (9.5) and fourth in the all-around (35.775). Sam Stoddart was eighth in the all-around (34.975).
INJURY REPORT: The injury bug took a chomp out of two area teams last week. Westosha Central junior Aslyn Wolcott, a 2011 state qualifier on uneven bars, broke her fibula at practice and is out for the rest of the season, said coach Bill Price. "She broke her leg doing a wolf full turn on the floor," Price said. "Just a sad ending to her season." Wolcott finished 15th in the Division 1 bars with an 8.467. Central also has been without Patience Spinler, who apparently sprained her MCL. Defending WIAA Division 2 champion Whitefish Bay lost senior Sofie Yang to a foot injury at a dual meet last week. Yang won a medal at the 2011 state individual meet, finishing sixth on bars.
REUNION: Several top gymnasts from last season - and now in college - attended the Falcon Invitational during the holiday break. Arrowhead graduate Kirstyn Wood, the area gymnast of the year in 2011, is at Edgewood College right now but plans to transfer to University of Wisconsin and join the cheerleading squad. Kenosha Tremper graduate Lindsey Maier, a member of the all-area first-team, is competing at UW-Oshkosh and trying to round back into form after tearing her ACL at sectionals last year.
HIGHLANDER PREVUE: The month of big invitationals continues this weekend at the annual Highlander Invitational at Homestead. The field includes five North Shore Conference teams: Homestead, which finished fifth at the 2011 Division 1 state meet, Cedarburg / Grafton, Nicolet, Port Washington and Whitefish Bay. Also there will be Arrowhead, which placed third at the state meet, Hartford, Manitowoc Lincoln, Mukwonago / Kettle Moraine, Watertown and Sheboygan, which placed sixth at the 2011 state meet.
The individual talent scheduled to compete includes a slew of 2011 state qualifiers: Arrowhead sophomore Jessica Krause, the 2011 Division 1 floor exercise champion; Mukwonago juniors Natalie Straszewski and Megan Kowalczyk; Nicolet junior Jessica Kloehn; Sheboygan senior Jennifer Drews and junior Caitlin Jurk; Whitefish Bay seniors Maggie Anderson and Kelly Danek; Homestead senior Cori Sanduski.
Arrowhead won the meet last year with a 139.625. Nicolet won it in 2010 and 2009. The action starts at 10 a.m. Saturday.
ROUND-OFFS: The first batch of team rankings from the Wisconsin High School Gymnastics Association will come out Wednesday. . . . Whitefish Bay won the annual Viking Invitational at Mount Horeb on Saturday with a score of 132.85. Madison Memorial sophomore Caroline Smith put on a show by winning all four events and the all-around with an impressive 37.275. . . . West Bend West placed second at its own invitational with a 133.35. West's Bailey Wagner won the vault (9.3). Sheboygan North / South won the meet with a 138.35.
West Allis Central / Hale at Grafton / Cedarburg, 6:30 p.m.Wednesday: Non-conference meet features West Allis state qualifiers Sara Quesnell, the defending Division 1 all-around champion, and Fuchs.
Franklin Combined at Arrowhead, 6:30 p.m. Thursday: Lots of talent will be on display at this Southeast / Classic 8 conference dual.
Kenosha, Waukesha Combined and Franklin Combined, noon Saturday at Kenosha Tremper: Three Southeast / Classic 8 teams compete.

Deming's Profound Changes: When Will the Sleeping Giant Awaken?
PTR Prentice Hall, 1994 - Business & Economics - 274 pages
Increasingly, the demise of many businesses and organizations is being blamed on current western management practice—which can be traced directly back to the 19th century and Frederick Taylor's theory of scientific management. Although W. Edwards Deming proposed a new, more modern philosophy of management decades ago, the western world, instead, continued to practice Taylor's philosophy—by now adulterated and corrupted many times over into a new form of its own (neo-Taylorism). This volume explores—in depth—neo-Taylorism (where it came from and what its beliefs are), Deming's philosophy (his system of profound knowledge and his 14 points), and suggests how Deming's philosophy—if adopted—could be an antidote for today's managerial ineffectiveness. Shows organization and technical managers how to change—using Deming's principles—in order to improve quality in delivered services and products and in employee satisfaction. Analyzes the flaws of Taylorism and Neo-Taylorism— with point-by-point comparison with Deming's philosophy. Clearly explains the Deming quality philosophy from a conceptual framework that can then be applied (rather than from a recipe or case study format, which has proven to be ineffective). For Executive and Technical Managers (all industries); Quality Managers and Practitioners; Quality, Productivity, Organizational Development Consultants.

Rubber Nose Plec has laid eggs - Now what?
Well, as I said, my 2 plec have spawned and I have about 20 eggs on the side glass. One of them is laying over them fanning the water over them. Do they have a chance with neons tetras, sail fin tetras and cory cats in the tank?
Awesome! Can you post a pic?
I can't help with your questions but hopefully others will chime in here. Please keep us posted as we can all learn from your experience here. Even what doesn't work. A Journal thread!
Well, they've started to hatch. About half are done hatching and I was able to see one of them down in the gravel. I wasn't able to take any photo's, it was too dark and I didn't want to use my flash and frighten off Dad from the clutch of eggs.

The returned Proxy info from nsIProtocolProxyService contains the flags used to perform the proxy resolution. The async version of that resolution wasn't recording the flags correctly.
We almost never actually use the async resolution (which I'm fixing in another bug) and the only thing the flags are really important to are websockets. so it doesn't seem to be a problem for any in-tree code, but its a problem for the code I'm writing.

Basic Styling Tutorial
This page contains instructions on how to get started with custom CSS styling in Confluence.
CSS Editing Quick-Start
- Go to the space and choose Space tools > Look and Feel from the bottom of the sidebar
- Choose Stylesheet then Edit.
- Paste your custom CSS into the text field.
- Save your changes. The new CSS will be visible on all content pages in the space.
If your space uses the Documentation theme:
- Choose Browse > Space Admin from the header
Note: The Space Admin option appears only if you have space admin permissions, or if you're part of the 'confluence-administrators' group.
- Click Stylesheet in the left-hand panel under the heading 'Look and Feel'.
- Choose Edit.
- Paste your custom CSS into the text field.
- Save your changes. The new CSS will be visible on all content pages in the space.
Tutorial: Changing the Header Background
The header is the menu area at the top of a default Confluence page where the Breadcrumb Links, Browse menu, User menu and the Quick Search box reside. In this example, we are going to change the background of the header to include a custom graphic.
- Create a custom graphic. For this example, we created a custom header graphic of 1046 x 61 pixels.
- Upload the custom graphic to a page in the space that you are customising.
- Note the page ID of the page where you uploaded the new graphic. (in this example, the page ID was '658833839'.
Compose your custom CSS for the header. The example below loads the new graphic (called 'header.png') from a specific page (denoted by page ID '658833839') in the same space.
#header .aui-header { background-image:url('../download/attachments/658833839/header.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; }
- Log in as the Space Administrator.
- Open the Space Admin page.
- Click Stylesheet.
- Click Edit to change the code in the text field.
- Paste your custom CSS into the text field.
- Click Save and then reload the page (you may have to shift-reload). The background of the header will change.
- The custom header will be visible on all content pages in the space. To revert your change, simple delete the custom code from the 'Stylesheet' page and click Save.
CSS Editing Tips
Begin With a Space Stylesheet
A space stylesheet is a good starting point for CSS customisation, as it already includes all of the elements that can be changed. When you work on the space stylesheet it styles all content pages in the space. Build and test it at space-level, before considering applying the new stylesheet to your entire site. Once you are satisfied with your space design, test it thoroughly until you are confident that it has no problems. Then, you can look into advanced customisation of the Confluence CSS such as adjusting the Search page, the Dashboard and other integral pages.
Use the Right Tools
As the Confluence CSS is reasonably sophisticated, web development applications will help you to understand how the page styles have been created. In particular, you will need to view the existing source for the pages you're starting to work on. If you don't already have some, tools such as the following free applications will allow you to do this.
1. Firebug
Firebug, a plugin for the Firefox web browser, allows you to take a look at the style of each element on your page. This is very useful to see what styles are currently applied, for example styles applied to the header only.
2. Web Developer
The Web Developer plugin for Firefox allows you to edit CSS inline and create new page designs.
3. CSS Edit
CSS Edit is a stand-alone CSS editor for Macintosh that extracts all existing styles from a given page and allows you to overwrite these.
Edit Simple Elements First
Begin by editing simple elements and checking that they work. By making changes, then checking that each one worked, you can easily isolate any CSS code that is causing problems. Be aware that some page elements are more suited to customisation than others. For example, adding a gradient to the toolbar is less likely to 'break' the page than changing the page width. Editing reasonably static elements such as background graphics will render more predictably than designs which attempt to completely change the user interface or the Javascript-powered drop-down menus (which we don't recommend editing).

1. The teaser trailer for the grainy-looking low-budget effort "The Canyons", starring Lindsay Lohan and porn star James Deen, is online.
2. Cam Gigandet and Nick Thune have joined the cast of the indy comedy "Johnson". In the comedy, "Gigandet plays Rich Johnson, a sexually prolific ladies' man whose overworked genitals literally abandon his body and take on human form, played by Thune. Finding himself suddenly pitted against his favorite appendage, Rich must somehow convince his penis to return while "learning how to be a better man in the process."
3. "Looper" co-star Paul Dano is joining "Prisoners" starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. "Dano will play a neighbor who has the mental capacity of a 10-year old and has a very sweet disposition, but may hide the personality of a killer", say the trades.
4. "Goodfellas" alum Mike Starr will play Sal, the westside boss on TV's "The Mob Doctor".
5. Mentored by some of Australia's leading film industry talents and led by ambassador Jessica Tovey, three successful schools in the Oovie School Film Project, will have their final film productions premiered at the inaugural Cockatoo Island Film Festival, in a month's time. Following an exciting ten-‐month selection and production process, that started at the end of 2011, Erskine Park High, Bulahdelah Central and Richard Johnson Anglican College, are soon to reap the rewards of their hard work at a red carpet premiere, watched by the Australian public, on Wednesday 24 October. The exceptional standard of entries, from schools across NSW and VIC, has demonstrated how the Oovie Schools Film Project, which is only in its second year, has unveiled the brightest of Australia's filmmaking stars of the future. The collaborative project has provided an invaluable platform for students to experience, and widen their horizons to new opportunities that have previously been inaccessible. As part of their successful journey from concept to completion, the schools were invited to submit a short pitch around the project's theme -‐ The Island -‐ before being shortlisted into having their film idea brought to life. The dynamic partnership between Oovie Schools Film Project and the Cockatoo Island Film Festival, will welcome the three successful schools onto Cockatoo Island, along with fellow student supporters, friends, families and members of the public. The Cockatoo Island Film Festival is an initiative of the Cockatoo Institute, working in partnership with the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust.

6. There's a new motion poster for "Silent Hill : Revelation 3D" up here.
7. Stealth Media Group announced this week the brand new "Belle Du Seigneur" mini-series that has already gathered loads of interest from buyers. The new mini-series is based on one of literature's greatest love stories of all time by famed novelist Albert Cohen – one of the most notable writers of the 20th century. The classic love story is arguably Cohen's most commercial novel and is considered by many in the literary world to be a masterpiece that has already sold over 100 million copies in Europe alone. Cohen won the prestigious Prix du Roman de l'Academie Francais in 1968 for Belle Du Seigneur and was also nominated for a Noble Peace Prize. The heart of the novel, and the premise of the new mini-series, is the doomed love affair between Solal (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers – "The Tudors", "Bend it Like Bekham"), a devastatingly handsome Mediterranean Jew who rose from his exotic origins in the Greek island of Cephalonia to become Under-Secretary-General of the League of Nations; and Ariane Deume (played by supermodel Natalia Vodianova – "Clash of the Titans"), wife of one of his subordinates, a breathtakingly beautiful Genevoise aristocrat who has married beneath her. Cohen's novels have long been thought of as his own autobiography. Born in Greece to Jewish parents, Cohen studied in France and eventually moved to Geneva where he served as a civil servant. In his novels Cohen comes to life as the radiant Solal, his double – the handsome and successful civil servant of the League of Nations whose charismatic identity is a constant struggle between his Jewish roots and his social status.
8. Principal photography commences in Australia today on feature drama "Tracks", based on the inspirational true story of intrepid traveller and writer Robyn Davidson's solo trek from Alice Springs through 2700km of sprawling Australian desert to the Indian Ocean, accompanied only by her loyal dog and four unpredictable camels. This epic and remarkable journey into one of the world's last great wildernesses, which was captured by charismatic National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan, taught Robyn to do the impossible, to appreciate the joy of true solitude and that sometimes we have to detach from the world to feel connected to it. Tracks stars the internationally acclaimed Australian actress Mia Wasikowska ("Jane Eyre") as Robyn Davidson and rapidly rising star Adam Driver ("Inside Llewyn Davis") as Rick Smolan. The movie is directed by the esteemed John Curran ("Praise"). Robyn Davidson says of her story being translated to the screen 'What a strange experience it is to see one's own account morphed into another form. I could not be more pleased with the people involved in conceiving this new avatar. Emile and Iain, unique among producers I think, John, who sails as close to the book as he can without compromising his own ship, and of course, Mia, whose talent gave me goose bumps when I watched In Treatment, and who is as lovely as she is gifted.' 'This is one of the great Australian stories that begs to be adapted for the big screen. Robyn undertakes such an epic journey, doing what many of us wish we had the courage to do – to cast off the shackles of our lives, going as far away as possible from the noise of civilisation, and to find out how we would manage truly alone. We couldn't be happier to have such strong casting in Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver, playing the roles of two such intriguing, resolute and adventurous characters.' said producers Emile Sherman and Iain Canning.
9. "The Factory", "House at the End of the Street", "The Possession", "The Apparition", "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" and "Jayne Mansfield's Car" will all be going direct-to-DVD in Australia.
10. Demian Bichir ("Savages"), Annabeth Gish ("x-Files") And Ted Levine ("The Fast and the Furious") have been cast in the FX drama pilot "The Bridge", about "two detectives from the U.S. and Mexico — El Paso Police Homicide Detective Sonya North (Diane Kruger) and Marco Ruiz (Bichir) — who must work together to hunt down a serial killer operating on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Ruiz is described as a family man and one of the last good men in a corrupt and apathetic police force that is outgunned by the powerful drug cartels. Gish will play Charlotte, a wealthy ranch wife suddenly widowed when her older husband suffers a massive heart attack while on the Mexican side of the border. She soon learns that her late husband had many shocking secrets. Monk alum Levine will play Sonya's Lieutenant at the El Paso Police Department, a veteran cop with a weathered cowboy swagger."

Holli, I sure hope you are feeling better. And I understand the vintage car
thing. Back in Indy in the 80's, Bill wanted a classic car. We found a 68
candy apple red Mustang. For 5 years, the two car garage only held the
Mustang in various stages of restoration and its various parts! It was
fun, anyway. Go with the flow if you can. The newness will eventually wear
off and you'll both enjoy the car!

This may have been related to performance, not necessarily sonics. As compared to the 6080, I am not sure. In reading posts related to other amps, I have heard the same that has been reported (at least once) on this string: swapping the power tube will not make as much of a sonic difference as the preamp tube.
I plan to pick up a couple of variants to experiment w/the power tube, at some point, but it's not high on my priority list. I am running a Sovtek 6as7.

Surely not me! I only drove up the price of my own Darkvoice.
From my understanding, the 6H13Cs and new production 6AS7s are more reliable and have slightly higher limits than NOS 6AS7s, but it's not really an issue with the Darkvoice since it it's not running the power tube anywhere near full capacity.
I just ordered a 336i from Jian Liu so that I have something to listen to until my Heed CanAmp arrives (sometime in January I believe). I've never owned a tube amp before (aside from my guitar amp) so maybe I'll actually like this more than the Heed. I'm only going to keep the one I like best, so either a CanAmp or Darkvoice will be in the F/S forums...well...in January...
Where's a good place to get a power cable for the 110v? (not looking for anything fancy at the moment...I just want it powered)

The Case for Extending Jobless Benefits
Read More.
The big boot begins at midnight Dec. 27. That's when unemployment checks stop coming for 1.3 million people who have been collecting benefits for more than six months. By July, another 1.9 million people will get the boot from extended benefits. By the end of 2014, 1.6 million more will be kicked off, totaling about 5 million Americans.
"Neglecting to extend this vital lifeline to millions of workers is simply immoral," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said today. Morality is a tough concept in politics. Many Republicans, after all, believe abortion and tax increases are immoral. It's better to focus on the economic and political consequences of not extending unemployment benefits; they are easier cases to make.
The economics are largely positive. Congress has extended long-term jobless benefits -- meaning, beyond the normal 26 weeks -- 11 times since the recent recession, with President George W. Bush making the first request in 2008. Employment, tax revenue and gross domestic product have all been greater because of extended benefits. The Congressional Budget Office says the same would be true for 2014 if Congress spent the $25 billion needed to maintain benefits through the year.
As always, there are downsides. Long-term unemployment benefits have cost taxpayers $255 billion since 2008, increasing the national debt. But debt keeps declining as the economic recovery picks up steam, and the stimulus that unemployment benefits provides will keep the virtuous cycle going next year.
Without unemployment insurance, the almost 5 million long-term jobless will become all but invisible, statistically speaking. Workers whose benefits are cut off are likely to stop looking for jobs and therefore won't be counted in the official statistics.
Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., estimates that the unemployment rate could drop as much as half a percentage point for this reason. That doesn't mean the economy is better off. If anything, the newly invisible could become permanently unproductive, the economic consequences of which might last for decades.
The politics also favor an extension. Maintaining long-term jobless benefits, it seems, is the rare issue on which voters agree even across party lines. A Dec. 19-20 Public Policy Polling survey even finds that lawmakers may put their re-elections at risk next year if they don't vote to renew benefits.
The poll shows that, in key swing congressional districts, voters in both parties, as well as independents, overwhelmingly oppose letting extended benefits expire. Even in House Speaker John Boehner's home district in Ohio, 52 percent of Republicans said they favor an extension.
So who are these 5 million? You may be surprised to know that 17 percent of the long-term unemployed hold a college degree, compared with 34 percent of the employed. Those with at least some college make up 28.6 percent.
The long-term unemployed are spread evenly across the entire age distribution. Most of them are single (63 percent), male (55 percent) and white (50.8 percent). Blacks are disproportionately represented, making up 22.6 percent of the long-term unemployed while making up only 10.5 percent of the employed. Hispanics make up 19 percent of the long-term unemployed and 15.7 percent of the employed.
Twenty-three percent of the long-term unemployed had worked in construction and manufacturing. They live mostly in the West and the South, with workers in Nevada, California, Illinois and Georgia among the hardest-hit.
With those demographics, you would think more Republicans would be on board. When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid brings up legislation in early January that would renew benefits for three months, he should remind his colleagues of the economic truth and political consequences of long-term unemployment, and leave morality for the preachers.

Hate is a weak emotion,
A sign of failure.
Hate is a weak emotion,
A sign of failure.
When people hate on you,
Its because something you,
Its because you have got something they want.
I don't hate you,
But i am not necessarily exited about your existence.
If i treated you,
The way You treated me.
You would hate me.
I hate u,
And i dont wana see u ever again.
U idiot.
I am sorry i didn't text u back,
Its just because i hate u.
When u love,
U cant hate,
Love has no boundaries.
No dawn without a night,
No victory without a fight,
No rainbow without the rain,
No happiness without the pain,
No love without hate,
No life without fate.
Agr itni hi nafrat ha humsy to,
Ik bar esi dua kr do dil se,
K tumhari dua bhi poori ho jaye,
Or hmari zindagi bhi khtm ho jaye.
Anger is natural defense against pain.
So when i say i hate u,
It really means u hurt me.

Research in Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad
A fundamental dimension of higher education is the scientific research. In the 2008-2009 academic year scientific research has accelerated in comparison with previous years. It can be underlined that in 2008 UAV submitted in 9 international research projects and 7 national research projects. Of these, 8 international projects and 5 international projects have won.
The value of research contracts funded by the national competition was 2,027,202 RON and of the international projects was 52,350 USD.
During 2008, 30 articles were published in internationally recognized journals, ISI Web of Science, 13 articles in journals indexed in international databases, 84 papers published in international conferences ISI indexed volumes, 45 articles published in journals recognized by NURC - Class B +, 52 articles published in journals recognized by the NURC - Class B 104 books, representing a total of 26,135 pages, published in the national publishing house, recognized NURC, 5 books (558 pages) published in the international publishing prestige, and 1 patent/products with intellectual property right.
Most of the papers, 16 studies were published by professors from the Faculty of Food Engineering and Environment Protection with a relative factor of 13.248, followed by the Faculty of Engineering with a number of 13 works and a relative factor of 8.052 and 6 studies in BDI, the Faculty of Engineering has 13 articles and a relative factor of 8.052 and 7 works in BDI, the Faculty of Exact Sciences has 1 work in BDI article published and a relative factor of 1.000 adjusted.
Regarding the situation of books published in prestigious international publishing lies in first place throughout the Faculty of Food Engineering, Tourism and Environmental Protection of 278 numbers of pages published, followed by the Faculty of Engineering with 264 pages and the Faculty of Humanities 16 pages.
Concerning the financial resources gained, the Faculty of Food Engineering, Tourism and Environmental Protection is in the first place with an amount of 819,537RON, followed by the Faculty of Engineering with 721,885 RON, Faculty of Education and Social Assistance 259,600 RON, the Faculty of Economics with 224,180 RON and the Faculty of Economics in 2000 RON.
International visibility is reflected not only by the number of publications in journals published in international databases and books published in prestigious international publishing projects but also in international competitions and the amounts drawn from international funds. Thus, the Faculty of Food Engineering, Tourism and Environmental Protection drew 26,400 RON, and the Faculty of Engineering has attracted an amount of 25,950 RON for the academic year 2008/2009.
Of particular importance is the gaining of a research project funded by the European Union Framework Program 7. The project is won by Prof..Dr. Florentina-Daniela Munteanu, with an international consortium. The project "Folate-based nanobiodevices for integrated diagnosis/therapy targeting chronic inflammatory diseases - NANOFOL will receive funding of around 7 million euros in the 7th Framework Program for Research and Development of the European Union, of which the University " Aurel Vlaicu " of Arad will return nearly half a million euros. The consortium has 13 partners based on 8 European countries and the University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad was chosen as a partner both on the expertise of researchers involved and because of special laboratory facilities for research in the UAV. Currently, some carrying the necessary equipment for the project is found only in the University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad, which proves that this university has equipped laboratory facilities more developed than in other European universities. Aforementioned project is based on an innovative strategy in nanotechnologies to diagnose and treat rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting only in Europe more than 2 million people. This disease is characterized by a continuous process inflammatory of synovial joints (eg knees), is likely auto-immune and can lead to joint destruction and even the bone.
Currently available treatments are associated with serious side effects including serious infections and the possibility of developing cancerous tumors. Therefore, in this project one of the main objectives is to achieve more effective treatments based on nanodispozitives with local action and also the most powerful anti-inflammatory effects and controlled. Thus, it reduces unwanted effects of treatment and improves the cost-benefit of treatments.
Another international project that is run in the University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad is with the European Commission by DG SANCO (Director General for Health and Consumer Protection) and supports and implements in the 27 EU Member States the project DOLCETA - Developing of On Line Consumer Education Tools for Adults (Developing Online Tools for Consumer Education Adult) transformed in time "Online Consumer Education". The University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad, more exactly, Prof. Dorin Herlo is the national coordinator of the project. This project is developing an elearning system for training and educating consumers primarily through existing site on public www.dolceta.eu, which facilitates for learners the training skills necessary to compare products and services in the market to decide what to buy and to defend their legitimate rights as consumers. Public site now includes four modules. The first two modules of consumer rights and financial services are structured on three levels - for those ignorant of the field, for those less knowledgeable and connoisseurs - and each level of the section, subsection and articles content information, followed by examples and tests (quiz s).
Module 3- the consumer safety- offers the user the opportunity to inform and teach the legal aspects of safety and security products, categories of products, dangerous imitations, the safety of products used in home, garden, at work, in leisure and public roads and also some advice and support: eg, see the case of poisoning.
Module 4, teacher's area, offers students in the primary and the secondary and high schools, and adults especially teachers, educators, teachers, schoolmasters, teachers, trainers, etc.. to be educated online or using tools designed in this way in the area of financial management, safety and consumer health, consumer responsibility and the services consumers.
Of particular importance is the project financed by the Sectoral Operational Programme - Human Resources Development. Thus, a project of almost 14 billion old lei, aimed at combating discrimination runs in this institution. The project is part of a more comprehensive project, with a total funding of almost 140 billion lei, of which 10% lies in Arad. Assoc. Dr. Ramona Lile is the director of the project "Entrepreneurship for Equal Opportunities - an inter-school entrepreneurial model for women ", implemented in collaboration with Lecturer. Dr. Sanda Gregory, Director of Business Incubator of the University " Aurel Vlaicu". Duration of the project is two years, and activities take place in the following counties: Maramures, Satu Mare, Bihor, Arad, Timis, Caras-Severin. The objective of the project is to promote equal opportunities in entrepreneurship, by fostering the involvement of women in general and rural women in particular in the initiation and development of their business in the context of sustainable development of communities located along the county border of West of Romania. Final results of the project will develop into a training of trainers certified nationally, that 72 students formed the trainers being an entrepreneurial school with two distinct models: starting business and business development; 1800 women trained in the six counties participating in the project, studies and articles published on female entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial development on the western border of Romania.
As a proof of international visibility is the fact that the University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad hosted in November 2008 the second edition of the International Symposium "Research and Education in Innovation was" held every two years. Official opening of the International symposium held in Aula "Dimitrie Camenita" of complex Micalaca University. This edition includes 5 sections of the symposium included the presentation of works from several specialties: Social Sciences, Language and Literature, Economics, Engineering and Chemistry, Mathematics - Informatics and enjoyed the participation of teachers, lecturers and researchers from many countries from across Europe: Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Hungary, Germany, Moldova. The symposium took place entirely in English. In the opening session of the symposium, Rector of the University "Aurel Vlaicu", Prof. Univ. Dr. Lizica Mihut handed foreign personalities invited to the Second Edition of the Symposium diplomas, and the University Medal "Aurel Vlaicu", which symbolizes the aspiration to the heights of science and culture.
It means good cooperation between Arad and university teachers, staff and researchers from abroad. The vice-rector of the University "Aurel Vlaicu", Prof. Dr. Phys. Alina Zamfir, received the prize of the Academy of Medical Sciences for the year 2008 for the discovery of biomolecules structural analyzed only by mass Spectrometry. However, the exceptional results achieved by teachers in the Faculty of Food Engineering, Tourism and Environmental Protection and funds raised by these research projects have led to the purchase of a capillary electrophoresis device, which was put into operation in the mass spectrometry laboratory of our University. Electrophoresis will work under the supervision of a team of top specialists in the field. Laboratory equipment is worth 400 thousand euros (a quarter is the contribution of the university, three quarters of European funding).
It should be noted that mass Spectrometry is a research topic to be
taken into account in Romania, in 2002 was awarded the Nobel Prize
in Chemistry for mass Spectrometry and in Arad activates a
researcher from UAV who collaborates with the two winners who they
shared Nobel.
Operation of capillary electrophoresis apparatus was made by a Dutch company. It is about a very new technique in Romania which, in association with medical field, may lead to discovery of different diseases' biomarkers. The laboratory serves all medical and pharmacy universities in the country.
The University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad is part of the Romanian
Society of Mass Spectrometry, already realizing projects of over
one million euros, dew to the specialized laboratory from complex
M. prof. Dr. Alina Zamfir was elected the President of the Society,
of the University "Aurel Vlaicu" Vice President is Prof. Dr. Ion
Oprean from the University "Babes-Bolyai University from Cluj and
the Scientific Director is Prof. Dr. Nicolae Dinca, University"
Aurel Vlaicu ". The company headquarter will be in Arad, because in
the UAV functions a center of mass spectrometry with an exceptional
international visibility. For the first time in Romania the
University "Aurel Vlaicu" (with the contribution of the University
President, Nicolae Dinca, and vice-rector Alina Zamfir) published a
paper with impact 6 in terms of international visibility. Quality
work and articles resulting from research is measured by this
figure, which refers to the number of citations of that work within
the two years.
Romanian literature is generally impact less than 0.5. The center in Arad, led by Alina Zamfir, brings together ten scholars. It won four national and two international projects. In only two years, it have been published 15 papers in journals with impact factor between 2 and 6, was published a volume of mass spectrometry to the Publisher Springer Verlag (Germany), were presented about 50 works-invited sessions, oral and poster contributions to the specialty conference held in Germany, Austria, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, France, Croatia and USA, and received four international awards.
In recognition of research undertaken in the UAV and special achievements of Business Incubator of the University "Aurel Vlaicu" of Arad, UAV-IT incubator is member of the Romanian Association for Technology Transfer - AroTT, professional organization of units profile of technology transfer and innovation, nongovernmental and nonprofit. Thus, in the Bucharest International Fair, director of UAV - IT Incubator, the assistant professor Dr. Gregory Sanda was appointed one of three regional vice-presidents of AroTT.
Regarding the material basis, UAV property boasts European standards, with facilities that few universities can flourish at this time - was made the third level of the building Complex M (about 2.5 Euro), 12 laboratories were completed: car maintenance, educational learning ID, languages, media, analysis water, air, soil, mechatronics, optical microbiology, gastronomy. There have also been renovated the building on Aurel Vlaicu Avenue, the hostel and canteen (investment of approximately 1.5 million Euros) and there have been made important endowments laboratory equipment, computers, furniture, etc..
For the academic year 2009/2010 we propose the following investments: Laboratory of Mechatronics and road cars (620 m2 investment amount: 600,000 euros), Dormitory (P 4, 4500 m2 area and 1.8 million euros), renovation at the building complex M (appropriate court, facade, pool PSI, ~400.000 Euro), Akademos Hotel modernization that will preserve its destination.

One day after First Minister Alex Salmond claimed victory in the second TV debate on Scottish independence, more than 130 business leaders have signed an open letter stating that the 'Yes' vote would be "bad for business".
The 133 signatories, who hail from a range of industries including banking, mining, food, and engineering, claim in the letter published on Wednesday that the "business case for Scottish independence has not been made".
It follows results from polls on Tuesday suggesting Mr Salmond had won Monday night's TV debate against Alistair Darling and his argument for the 'Better Together' campaign.
The letter, published in The Scotsman, claims that the economic ties inside the UK are "very close" and support nearly a million Scottish jobs.
HSBC's group chairman Douglas Flint is joined by chief executive of mining giant BHP Billiton's Andrew Mackenzie in making the case against independence, alongside Audrey Baxter, executive chairman of Baxters Food Group, and Ian Curle, chief executive of Edrington, the owner of Scottish whiskey brands The Macallan and The Famous Grouse.
Scottish Independence: For and against
Scottish Independence: For and against
1/23 Vivienne Westwood
YES: "I hate England. I like Scotland because somehow I think they are better than we are. They are more democratic."
2/23 Bob Geldof
NO: "This argument needs to be had among us all, you can't selfishly resolve it amongst yourselves by taking an easy opt-out clause."
3/23 Leonard Cohen
UNDECIDED: "People are trying to make their lives significant," he said. "[They] are engaged in a struggle for self-respect and significance."
4/23 James McAvoy
UNDECIDED: "If you vote for continued unification or independence there is no protest vote – that's it. And that could be it for decades, for centuries. There's no going back from it."
5/23 Bill Clinton
NO: "Unity with maximum self-determination sends a powerful message to a world torn by identity conflicts that it is possible to respect our differences while living and working together. This is the great challenge of our time. The Scots can show us how to meet it."
6/23 George Galloway
NO: "There will be havoc if you vote Yes in September. Havoc in Edinburgh and throughout the land and you will break the hearts of many others too… I know which side I'm on. I'm with JK Rowling. Just say No."
7/23 David Beckham
NO: "We want to let you know how very much we value our relationship and friendship. Of course regardless of your decision that will never change, however, my sincere hope is that you will vote to renew our historic bond which has been such a success over the centuries and the envy of the entire world. What unites us is much greater than what divides us. Let's stay together."
8/23 David Bowie
NO: "Scotland stay with us"
Rex Features
9/23 Eddie Izzard
NO: "You can be Scottish, you can be British and you can be European. We can have that. "I say have the parliament, have the more power, but be with us. Like David Bowie said, 'Stay with us Scotland' and I'm saying the same – don't go."
10/23 Frankie Boyle
YES: "It's an 'aye' (for Independence) from me, man."
Association of Online Publishers
11/23 Andy Murray

Gary Calton
13/23 Susan Boyle
NO: "I am a proud, patriotic Scot, passionate about my heritage and my country. But I am not a nationalist."
Rex Features
14/23 Chris Hoy
NO: "It will weaken the British team obviously if Scotland went separately, and it would be harder for the Scottish athletes, initially, to establish themselves in a new training environment, with new coaches, with a different environment altogether."
15/23 Alan Cumming
YES: "The evidence is clear - in the past 15 years we have become stronger economically, socially, culturally and globally. The world is waiting for us and I know Scotland is ready."
Kalpesh Lathigra
16/23 Emma Thompson
NO: "Why insist on building a new border between human beings in an ever-shrinking world where we are still struggling to live alongside each other?"
Carlo Allegri, Reuters

NO: "If Scotland go their own way (based on fingers crossed, f**k the Tories, William Wallace bollocks it'll be a damn shame. Still wish 'em well"
19/23 Rod Stewart
NO: "I'd hate to see the union broken after all these years. It's always been a spiritual home - but as I don't live there I shouldn't comment on independence. If it's good for the Scots I'm happy."
20/23 Sean Connery
YES: "As a Scot and as someone with a lifelong love for both Scotland and the arts, I believe the opportunity of independence is too good to miss"
Rex Features
21/23 Al Kennedy
NO: "Salmond has the warm potato head of a man who is Scottish and – we hope – no threat"
Rex Features
22/23 Annie Lennox
YES: "There is an opportunity for something innovative and visionary. Scotland could have some kind of new, ethical, visionary stance and it could take on some fresh ideas. That could be amazing, really amazing."
Getty Images
23/23 Morrissey
YES: "They must cut ties with the United King-dumb. I love Scotland, and I love the Scottish spirit and they do not need Westminster in the least."

The signatories said that in their role as job creators, they have looked carefully at the arguments for both sides of the debate.
Uncertainty surrounds a number of vital issues including currency, regulation, tax, pensions, EU membership and support for Scottish exports around the world, they argue, and "uncertainty is bad for business".
"We should be proud that Scotland is a great place to build businesses and create jobs – success that has been achieved as an integral part of the United Kingdom.
"The United Kingdom gives business the strong platform we must have to invest in jobs and industry. By all continuing to work together, we can keep Scotland flourishing," the letter reads.
The letter was organised by Keith Cochrane, the chief executive of engineering firm Weir Group, and the companies of the 133 signatories employ around 50,000 people.
But lobby group Business for Scotland ha told the BBC that economic "facts and figures" support Scottish independence, while other business leaders have backed the First Minister's push for independence over the advantages it would afford businesses.
Donald MacKay, the former head of Scottish Enterprise, has said that independence would place Scotland in a better fiscal position than the rest of the UK.
"An independent Scotland should use that financial advantage to invest in re-engineering our economy towards industrial, manufacturing and tradeable services development," he said.
His support for the 'Yes' vote is backed by other business leaders including International Airlines Group (IAG) chief executive Willie Walsh and Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary, in part due to Mr Salmond's plans to scrap air passenger duty (APD), which both airline chiefs have long called for.Reuse content
