US fears Russia has invasion force ready
(NEWSER) – Is Russia planning to follow up its annexation of Crimea with an invasion of eastern Ukraine? American officials say they're not sure what Vladimir Putin's next move will be, but Moscow appears to have everything in place for a potential long-term deployment, the Wall Street Journal finds. At least 50,000 Russian troops are now in position in Crimea and along the Ukrainian border, and they appear to be concealing their positions, trying to cloak their equipment, and establishing supply lines. Russia says the deployments are merely a military exercise, but Obama today told CBS News, "These are not what Russia would normally be doing." A Pentagon rep echoed that sentiment, per Reuters: "We've seen no specific indications that these, that exercises, are taking place."

Hey all,
Been working on trying to get my wireless to enable and connect for the last 3 or so days. I've searched the entire forum to the best of my knowledge and then proceeded to google after that in hopes it may be a linux issue however I'm not all to sure.
My problem is that when I attempt at using the KWLan utility to scan for available wireless it shows none. Before installing BT3 Final to the HDD I was able to use this utility or any of the utilities to use my wlan nic. Upon logging in to bt3 the system detects the two nic and asks if I'd like to configure them using WPA_Supplicant. Knowing that eth0 is my wirecard(SiS chipset)<-this has worked perfectly fine without any problems or config, I hit the cancel button to move on to it detecting my eth1 nic(wireless bcm43xx). I go into config it using broadcom and the error comes up, unable to configure eth1, problem could be due to misconfiguration, etc., this happens when I try to configure with any of the settings in the WPA_Supp. Using any of the other wireless utilities won't even detect known networks. I know the NIC is perfectly fine in sending/receiving packets as I am/have been using it while in WinXP build 2004.
My laptop build is an Acer 3001 WLCi with an AMD 2800+ Sempron, 512MB RAM, SiS onboard chipset, Broadcom Wireless chipset, 60GB HD.
Dual booted XP Pro, BT3Final, two ~30GB partitions, Lilo bootscreen, installed following MUTS video.
Not too fluent in linux however am on an extremely quick learning curve. If anyone could help me in pointing me in the right direction or a few tips this would be wonderful.

When it was founded in 1889, Barnard was one of very few American colleges where women could receive the same challenging education as men did. The College was named after Frederick A.P. Barnard, then the 10th president of Columbia University, who fought unsuccessfully to admit women to Columbia. Also instrumental in its founding was writer Annie Nathan Meyer, who formed a committee to establish a women's college affiliated with Columbia.
For its first few years, Barnard was located in a rented brownstone at 343 Madison Avenue, with a faculty of six and a student body of less than 40. In the early 1890s, it followed Columbia College to Morningside Heights, purchasing an acre of land on Broadway between 119th and 120th Streets with donations from Mary Brinckerhoff, Elizabeth Milbank Anderson, and Martha Fiske. In 1903, the College extended the campus south to 116th Street.
Like the other original Seven Sisters colleges—Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley—Barnard has always provided a top-quality education for women. It is unique among the Seven Sisters, however, in that it gives students not only a liberal arts environment and close community, but also all the resources of a major urban research university. Barnard has its own faculty, curriculum, administration, operating budget, and admissions process, but Columbia grants its degrees and oversees the tenure process. Barnard students may take courses and participate in extracurricular activities at Columbia, but they also reap the benefits of a small liberal arts college. They learn to analyze information, think independently, and express themselves effectively through a number of curricular requirements, including an interdisciplinary First-Year Seminar, First-Year English, and, since 2000, courses fulfilling the Nine Ways of Knowing: Reason and Value, Social Analysis, Historical Studies, Cultures in Comparison, Laboratory Science, Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning, Foreign Language, Literature, and Visual and Performing Arts. Students also complete at least one major, and in their junior and senior years, many work closely with professors on research projects or do independent research or creative work for their senior theses.
Perhaps the biggest threat to Barnard came in 1983, when Columbia College admitted women for the first time and began to push for a merger. However, Ellen Futter, then the president of the College, fought successfully for Barnard's continued independence. Today, admission to Barnard remains highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 26.5 percent for the class of 2014—the lowest of any women's college in the country—and thousands of students every year are attracted to its unique, "best of both worlds" environment.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Delray Beach has no dearth of spots for hanging out, having a few drinks, and enjoying all South Florida has to offer—with one glaring exception. There's nowhere you can sit on the beach. Boston's on the Beach in particular has tried to address this by offering not only a large, slightly raised outdoor patio but by adding a second, less casual restaurant upstairs, 50 Ocean, with an excellent vantage for ocean viewing. Still, though, it's not quite the laid-back SoFla feel you were going for. You want to sit in the sun sipping on frozen bevvies—and that's why they opened Sandbar. Boston's attempt to bring the beach to you, Sandbar is a large tiki bar complete with sand on the ground, water fountains to frolic in, umbrella-covered tables, and cornhole. The 21-and-over spot is completely outdoors and serves all the frosty, keep-cool-like-a-grownup drinks you love, including one of the best piña coladas you'll find in these parts—complete with a rum floater, of course. In addition to daiquiris and frozen margaritas, there are also plenty of well drinks, beers, finger foods, and sandwiches to soak it all up. But honestly, the urge to toss off your beach cover is strong here, so stick with the frozen drinks—all the vacation vibe, no bloated stomach.
Husband-and-wife team Mike Hampton and Christy Samoy dreamt of building a cozy, from-scratch kitchen serving internationally inspired soul food. Let's just say their dream came true. Every day Hampton heads to the market to garner inspiration for the day's eight or so special menu items. From there, a pair of talented chefs work alongside him to create epic collaborations, often with an Asian or Indian flair. Since opening three years ago, the 54-seat restaurant has also offered a rotation of "hit singles"—dishes that were once specials, but became so popular the couple had no choice but to keep them on the standard menu for fear of disgruntled regulars. Case in point: the mushroom manchego toast ($6/$12), a popular appetizer of toasted French bread points layered with a decadent combination of melted manchego cheese atop a pile of onion- and brown cream sherry sauce-smothered mushrooms. There's also the gnocchi with oxtail ($12/$22), a signature entree Hampton has been preparing since day one. The first thing the kitchen is tasked with preparing each day, an entire oxtail is braised for six hours in a rich vegetable stock until the meat falls from the bone, served with a basic San Marzano tomato sauce flavored with garlic, onion, and basil over a bed of pillowy soft homemade gnocchi. A rotating selection of boutique wines and craft beers completes the multicultural vibe.

They say the best things come in small packages. That's certainly true of Jimmy's Bistro in Delray Beach, a pint-sized eatery serving up an innovative New American-Italian menu. Despite its location in the heart of downtown Delray Beach, the six-table boutique establishment and wine bar has so far managed to fly under the tourist-trap radar thanks to its clandestine location off Swinton Avenue—but locals sure have found it. Even in the height of summer, regulars flock to chef-owner Jimmy Mills' eponymous eatery. A well-traveled, classically trained chef, Mills has done well over the years with a handwritten chalkboard in place of a handheld menu. Homemade pastas ($24) and a roasted half duck ($36) have become locals' favorites, and fish entrees change depending on what's supplied by Captain Clay and Sons Fish Market a few blocks north. Favorites include the housemade mozzarella ($12) served with locally grown tomatoes or glutinous ribbons of handmade fettuccine smothered beneath a rich tomato and meat ragu. All you need to complete the evening: a bottle of wine and some good company. And, of course, a reservation.

Ritz-Carlton is reinventing the typical hotel restaurant. The oceanfront Burlock Coast is a café, market, restaurant, and bar all rolled into one, and it entices locals as well as tourists. It offers a marketplace for artisanal goods, grab-and-go lunches, retail bottles of small-batch rums, and a formal restaurant. The emphasis here is on locally sourced ingredients, from raw bar offerings like king crab cocktails to mains like New York Strip steaks ($46), plus a tomato bruschetta made with Little Pond Farm heirloom tomatoes. In the restaurant's carefully curated marketplace, patrons can find breads made by revered Miami baker Zak Stern (aka Zak the Baker), a hot cup of Panther Coffee, or charcuterie from Miami Smokers. And on top of all the local goodness, cocktail lovers can build their own drinks using a selection of Caribbean, French, and Spanish rums.

At Grato, which opened in January, chef-owner Clay Conley (owner of Buccan) is going rustic Italian for the first time just a few miles away from his familiar Palm Beach stomping grounds. Conley calls the area around the Norton Museum of Art "an underserved market" into which he hopes to breathe some life. The restaurant is already attracting huge crowds; any night of the week, a troop of valets must manage the flood of patrons who swarm for happy hour. Dinner service seems as though all of Palm Beach has shown up, packing Grato's industrial-sized room wall to wall with a handsome crowd of guests. The focal point is the exposed wood-fueled oven painted Ferrari red. Patrons can sit at the kitchen bar to watch chefs shuffle pies and meats in and out from open to close. The best part of Grato, however, is devouring any of Conley's handmade extruded pastas. True bliss is twirling a forkful of fat paccheri smothered in a pork-riddled Sunday gravy, stabbing a single bucatini smothered in pasty-thick carbonara sauce seasoned with a heavy dose of fresh-cracked black pepper; or piling a spoonful of tender, dumpling-like ricotta gnocchi that seem to be held together by nothing more than the force of the Palm Beach pasta prince's will. It makes for a restaurant that is equal parts social hotspot and culinary tour de force.

Fort Lauderdale is not a city lacking in restaurant options, so proclaiming a certain establishment the best is a tall task. Thankfully, Cafe Martorano—brought to us by a South Philly export, the big-mouthed and bigger-muscled Steve Martorano—makes it a little easier to call. Linguine and clams ($28), chicken cutlet broccoli rabe ($34), and veal parmesan ($42) are just a few of the Italian classics that keep loyal Martorano customers (and celebs like Dwyane Wade) coming back to this mainstay for more. Martorano's "gravy" (don't call it sauce!) is to die for, and his meatballs are so renowned that Jimmy Kimmel once booked Martorano on his show to demonstrate how to make them. The open kitchen provides a front row seat to the action, while mafia movies showing on TV provide a welcome tongue-in-cheek respite from the oh-so-serious farm-to-table joints around these days.

Associated Press
NEW YORK — Robin Roberts spent two days in the hospital fighting off an infection as part of her recuperation from a rare blood disease, and is off "Good Morning America" this week to rest.
The ABC News morning show host said she felt ill last week while on vacation and was told to return to New York and go to the hospital.
She's home now, and posted on Facebook on Thursday that she's feeling much better.
Roberts underwent a bone marrow transplant in September to treat MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease.
She was off work for five months before returning to the top-rated network morning show on a part-time basis in February.
Roberts said doctors told her that her setback did not occur because she was working or doing too much. "It's extremely common, post-bone marrow transplant, to have complications," she wrote. "I'm blessed that mine have not been severe."

Judge Orders Ohio To Restore Early Voting
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- A federal judge is ordering Ohio to restore the final three days of in-person, early voting.
The lawsuit was filed during the 2012 election. The courts had ordered a temporary stay during that election that opened the polls on those final days. 96,000 Ohioans cast a ballot that Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Ohio law had cut off early, in-person voting on those days, but made an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas. Democrats claimed that was unequal treatment, and everyone should have the chance to vote on the three days.
"It's not about Democrats getting to the polls, it's about Ohioans getting to the polls," said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern.
A federal judge issued a permanent order calling for Secretary of State Jon Husted to set uniform hours on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before Election Day.
Husted issued a statement after the ruling saying he was pleased that the court affirmed that voting times should be uniform.
"All voters, no matter where they live, should have the same opportunity to vote. Thankfully, uniformity and equality won the day," Husted said. "When it comes to voting days and hours, I have urged uniformity, bipartisanship and certainty - so that all Ohioans can know the rules for voting well in advance of the election."
He added that because lawmakers haven't acted, he adopted a bipartisan schedule from the county election boards.
"Now that the court has ruled, I will follow the decision," Husted said.

Back to University Catalog 2005-2007
Division of Academic Affairs
"California State University, Dominguez Hills is a particularly exciting place to be at this time, and we are pleased that you have decided to take advantage of the many academic programs and resources we offer. Signs of institutional growth are all around you here; we hope they are reflected in your intellectual and personal growth as you explore the "world of opportunity" before you. The entire University "family"—faculty, staff, administrators and your fellow students—will share with you in this part of your academic journey. Take advantage of all and you will be well on the way to a challenging and rewarding college experience and a promising future."
v Allen A. Mori, Provost/ Vice President for Academic Affairs
The academic programs of the University are organized in the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Business Administration and Public Policy, the College of Health and Human Services, the College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences and the College of Education. Within these administrative units, you will find a broad variety of both undergraduate and graduate programs designed to stimulate your intellectual curiosity and to prepare you for both a career and lifelong learning. The College of Extended and International Education within Academic Affairs offers additional opportunities through distance learning, managing on-line degree programs in Nursing and Business and Public Administration as well as extensive additional credit and non-credit offerings, certificate and training programs. Each of these units is described in more detail immediately following this section.
The administrators in Central Academic Affairs include the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, the Vice Provost, and the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Each of these individuals can be relied on for assistance in facilitating student learning and achievement.
Another vital academic resource for students is the University Library which houses a variety of books, periodicals, and on-line data bases to support students in their academic endeavors. For more information, see the "Student Services" section of this catalog that describes the Library's function and mission within the University.
The University recognizes that the college experience is not simply a matter of books and study. Thus, we offer a variety of academic and cultural programs, clubs and honor societies, and student activities designed to provide co-curricular support for student success. Significant opportunities for students to be involved with their professors in meaningful research efforts are widely available. In conjunction with our role as a Communiversity" in active partnership with the communities in our region, we offer a variety of service learning roles enabling students to put theory into practice. The unique diversity of this campus, recognized by national magazines and organizations, insures that all CSUDH students will have the opportunity of learning and socializing with others of diverse ages, ethnicities, and races, thus preparing them to work effectively in a modern and global world.
College of Liberal Arts
Established in the Fall of 2004, as the result of a campus reorganization, the College of Liberal Arts encompasses the disciplines of Anthropology, Africana Studies, Art, Asian Pacific Studies, Communication, Digital Media Art, English, Foreign Languages, History, Philosophy, Humanities, Interdisciplinary Studies, Music, Theater Arts, Women Studies, and a graduate program in Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, and Peace-Building. With this exciting array of programs, students are presented with many choices, choices that will shape their professional and personal lives forever.
Three of the four basic skills required of all students are taught in the College of Liberal Arts: English composition, critical thinking, and oral communication. While other general education courses serve to broaden students' understanding of the world in which they live, courses in the majors serve to deepen their knowledge of a particular subject matter. I encourage you to review the requirements and course lists for the General Education program and the majors that you are considering.
The liberal arts are too frequently viewed as having a limiting effect in the job market. However, from a real practical standpoint, the liberal arts produce individuals who have read broadly, can communicate effectively, are analytical, and are creative, adaptable problem-solvers. Our programs provide students with many opportunities for hands-on experiences, whether it is producing works of art, performing on a stage, conducting field research in Baja, recording oral histories in Compton, interning at a public relations firm, developing a lesson plan for a charter school, or traveling abroad to learn a second language. According to the Los Angeles Times (April 4, 2004), the "ability to rapidly integrate information, shape it into a usable form, and apply it to the position is an advantage, even over those who took a more trade-oriented approach to their education."
The faculty in the College of Liberal Arts are dedicated teacher-scholars who are prepared to inform, inspire, guide, and empower students. They are experts in their fields, most of whom have Ph.D.'s or other terminal degrees, and have strong publication records or are regionally, nationally, or internationally recognized for their creative products. CLA's faculty is talented, caring, and diverse.
The College of Liberal Arts truly does provide students with a World of Opportunities.

College of Business Administration and Public Policy
Education is the key to the world of opportunity in the 21st century. Access to data has exploded due to the digital and internet revolutions. However, the abundance of data in no way assures good decision making. Data must be converted to useful information through knowledgeable analysis. Such analysis can only occur through educated and informed individuals and systems. The College of Business Administration and Public Policy provides students with the skills to turn data into useful information and compete in the global markets of the 21st century.
Our first priority is to graduate students who can assume the full responsibility of an entry -level professional position in the world of opportunity. Our second priority is to provide our graduates with the lifelong learning skills and motivation to grow and evolve as the world of opportunity changes. Graduates of the College of Business Administration and Public Policy find career positions in both large and small private sector firms, start their own businesses, work in local, state and federal governments and agencies and in non-profit organizations.
At the heart of our program in preparing students for the future is the faculty in the College of Business Administration and Public Policy. I proudly state that our faculty comprise a cadre of dedicated professors who are committed to teaching and remaining current with business, public administration, economics, political science, and labor practice, research and theory. Faculty have been active in as practitioners in their respective fields throughout their careers. This expertise greatly enriches the quality of classroom education as well as other related experiences - on-site tours, internships, guest speakers and enhanced job placement opportunities upon graduation.
Our faculty have designed a curriculum that has as its primary objective the transfer of "best practices" in business, government and not-for-profit organizations. As a citizen and future manager or public administrator, students must develop the cultural sensitivities, technological and communication skills, negotiating techniques and team-building expertise to function in the diverse global economy that presents so many opportunities The cultural, ethnic, gender, social and economic diversity within the faculty and student population of the CSUDH College of Business Administration and Public Policy provides students with a unique setting to develop these attributes so critical to career success.
The College believes that leaders do not just react to opportunity but, in fact, take actions that shape the opportunity. On the following pages, we describe the educational programs offered in the College of Business Administration and Public Policy, which are designed to shape the leaders that will create the world of opportunity in the 21st century.
We welcome inquires and questions, and we invite you to visit the campus and the College of Business Administration and Public Policy. We want to become your business, economics, public administration, political science, or labor and applied studies program of choice and prepare you for the ever-evolving and exciting world of opportunity that awaits you.

College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences
The core mission of the College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences is to prepare individuals for careers in scientific research, math/science education, or applied science fields such as medicine, dentistry, engineering, computer technology, and clinical psychology. Disciplines represented in the College include Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Sociology, Physics, Psychology, and Quality Assurance. The College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences contributes to the general education program in three ways, first, through its offering of mathematics courses designed for students to develop basic quantitative skills, secondly, through the offering of non-major courses that introduce students to general scientific concepts and methods, and, thirdly, through the offering of upper-division integrative studies courses in Science, Math, and Technology (SMT).
In an increasingly technological society, graduates with degrees in natural or computational sciences are in high demand. Public schools, in particular, are aggressively recruiting highly qualified teachers in math and science to prepare the next generation of scientists and science educators. Virtually every organization needs individuals who can coordinate their electronic communication networks, maintain their hardware and software, and manage large databases. State and federal agencies allocate billions of dollars each year for biomedically-related research of various kinds, including psychological research, ultimately in pursuit of cures for the numerous illnesses and diseases that plague humankind today and to save our environment. Still other federal agencies award large grants for military and outer-space research. Careers in the natural and behavioral sciences can be very lucrative and personally rewarding.
The College prides itself on being the home of a number of outstanding teaching award recipients. As teacher-scholars, they are devoted to teaching in both the lecture format as well as the hands-on, laboratory format, where students learn, firsthand, what it means to "do science." To their credit, faculty in the college have received federal training grants to provide support for minority graduate students in the sciences. The MBRS (RISE and SCORE) program is exemplary of this effort. Through a partnership with the American Psychological Association and the National Institute of General Medical Science, the Psychology Department has developed a program that introduces students to biomedically-related fields of psychology and pipelines them into graduate programs. In addition, through a collaboration with Californian State University-Fullerton, the Physics faculty at CSUDH have developed an Engineering Option in the Physic undergraduate program that prepares students for immediate entry into the Electrical Engineering graduate program at Fullerton.
In summary, the College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences offers a "World of Opportunities" for its students.

College of Education
The College of Education houses Liberal Studies, the Division of Teacher Education, and the Division of Graduate Education. The College offers professional programs that prepare teachers, specialists in curriculum, multicultural, and educational technology, counselors, school psychologists, and school administrators for the urban, multicultural community. These programs are designed to offer high quality educational opportunities for students at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, masters, and advanced levels.
Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary major for students who intend to become elementary classroom teachers. Courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies are designed to prepare future teachers to acquire content knowledge in the subject areas taught in elementary schools. The Blended Liberal Studies option is an accelerated program that provides an alternative route to teacher credentialing for upper division and community college transfer students pursing elementary teaching careers. The curriculum in this option blends upper division subject matter with credential course work and provides participants with early field experiences in schools.
Within the Division of Teacher Education are the basic credential programs for teaching in elementary, secondary, and special education classrooms. Student teaching and internship programs are offered through the Multiple Subjects, Single Subject, and Education Specialist (special education) credential programs. The Multiple Subjects Program prepares teachers for self-contained classrooms, usually kindergarten to grade six. The Single Subject Program is designed to prepare teachers for subject-specific teaching areas, generally in departmentalized classes at middle or high school. Credentials and a Master of Arts Degree are offered in Special Education. Educational professionals in Special Education are prepared to provide services to infants, children, and youth through the Early Childhood, Mild/Moderate, and Moderate/Severe Programs.
The Division of Graduate Education is designed to provide knowledge and understanding of the basic foundations and theories of education as well as advanced training in specific fields. The Division offers credentials in Educational Administration, Pupil Personnel Services - School Counseling, and Pupil Personnel Services - School Psychology. Options for the Master of Arts Degree in Education include Counseling, Educational Administration, Individualized Program, Multicultural, Teaching/Curriculum, and Technology Based Education. A Master of Science Degree in School Psychology is also offered.
Many of the courses in the College of Education are offered during the late afternoons and evenings to accommodate the needs of working professionals. Courses and field experiences are also offered at several Professional Development Schools that were developed in partnership with school districts in the Los Angeles basin. These urban educational environments provide opportunities for future professionals to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students.

Classified Moto KT-600
US$16,000 (£10,000), classifiedmoto.com
This custom build was made for Battlestar Gallactica's Starbuck herself, Katee Sackoff. And since she's the best intergalactic pilot we know, we're sure this bike packs a punch. It's based on a 1987 Honda XL600R dual sport frame but crams in a 2006 Triumph Sprint 1050 ST single-sided swing arm and some 2005 Kawasaki ZX6-R for good measure. Plus they'll even build it for you if you're not a star pilot.

MV Augusta F4 RR
£18,000, mvagusta.co.uk
MV Augusta claims this F4 RR 998cc superbike is the most powerful bike in the world, putting a blistering 198bhp between your legs. You may recognise it from Batman Begins or I, Robot – that's because it's also drop-dead gorgeous and pricey so Hollywood loves it. If you want a more affordable option there's the equally gorgeous F4 for £15,000 – pocket change for those looks.
Brammo Empulse
US$17,000 (£10,500), brammo.com
Bet you didn't think an electric streetbike like the Brammo Empulse could look so good right? But it's got more in its loins than aggressive looks, there's a 100-mile range and charge time of just 3.5 hours. What's the downside you ask? It's not yet out in the UK. But fret not, 2013 should bring the electric whiz of this brute over to European shores, if all goes to plan.
Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle
£14,000, harley-davidson.com
Even the name of this beast screams Harley with Muscle in the title. And it's packing plenty with 122bhp chugging out of that underscore of an exhaust. Futuristic lighting, like that slice over the rear wheel, makes this a Harley for the modern biker with £14,000 to spare.
Triumph Daytona 675
£8500, triumphmotorcycles.co.uk
Triumph, the British bike manufacturer famed for being Steve McQueen's ride in The Great Escape, still make some of the best bikes in the world. The Daytona 675 is at the top of the pile for sheer power, looks and handling. At just 163kg in weight and packing 124bhp, if Macqueen were on this bike the Nazis wouldn't have had a chance.

Date: November 15 2012
A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas:
World oil prices have rallied as dealers seized on news that Israel had killed a top Hamas commander in an air strike, stoking geopolitical tensions in the crude-rich Middle East region.
Brent North Sea crude for delivery in December spiked $US1.58 to $US109.84 per barrel.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for December or West Texas Intermediate (WTI), closed 94 US cents higher at $US86.32 a barrel.
Gold futures shuffled between modest gains and losses, propped up by a rise in the euro and hopes that demand for the metal would firm.
The most-actively traded contract on Wednesday, for December delivery, was recently up $US2.40, or 0.1 per cent, at $US1,727.20 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold has spent much of the last week in largely directionless trading in a narrow range between $US1,720 an ounce and $US1,740 an ounce.
Traders have been weighing the outlook for US policy ahead of negotiations on the pending package of tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect in January.
The market also has seen less-than-expected demand from India in its five-day Diwali festival.
Most base metals on the London Metal Exchange (LME) closed slightly higher, amid muted trade in Europe as investors await fresh cues for direction.
At the close of open-outcry trading on Wednesday, most LME metals closed a touch higher, although flagship metal copper had struggled to hold on to brief gains and closed lower, falling 0.5 per cent on the day at $US7,640 a metric ton. Technical support for the metal is seen at $US7,580/ton.
Aluminum also came back under pressure after an initial surge, and closed lower.
Trading volumes remained subdued and moves lacklustre. And despite a brief rally, which analysts said was helped by stronger Chinese equities, rises failed to gain traction, with weaker-than-expected euro-zone industrial production helping to blunt a brief flutter of gains.

In-Game Blog/Box score
BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – Senior attacker Nick Coric (Walnut Creek, Calif.) scored a game-high four goals as No. 4 C.W. Post emerged as the victor in a 9-5 win over New York Institute of Technology Saturday afternoon in East Coast Conference men's lacrosse action on HIckox Field.
The win improves C.W. Post to 10-1 overall and 3-1 in ECC action. The loss ends a four-game win streak for NYIT, who falls to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the ECC.
It was a true grudge match on the field as both teams fought hard to gain position on the field. The Bears took a 2-1 lead in the first quarter with goals from A.P. Nist and Chris Lubin. The Pioneers put one goal on the board in the quarter when senior midfielder Mike Messina (Sayville, N.Y.) broke through the defense and fired a shot into the net.
The Pioneer offense was much stronger in the second quarter as the opened play with four unanswered goals with the first three from Coric. Two of Coric's goals were from man-up opportunities. Senior midfielder Jimmy Johnston (Farmingville, N.Y.) tallied the Pioneers' fifth goal on a pass from senior midfielder Brad DeSouza (Trumbull, Conn.).
The Bears climbed back into the game and scored two more before the end of the half. The Pioneers led 5-4 at the break.
In the third quarter, NYIT took advantage of a man-up opportunity after a penalty was called on junior attacker Eddie Plompen (West Islip, N.Y.) for interference and scored on a goal from Joe Herman at 6:16.
C.W. Post responded just over two minutes later when junior attacker Keith Rodriguez (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) scored the go-ahead goal with 4:04 left to play.
The Bears failed to score another goal for the remainder of the game as stingy defense combined with four saves from senior goalkeeper Mike Giordano (Farmingdale, N.Y.) helped keep the visiting team off the board in the fourth.
C.W. Post finished the game outshooting NYIT, 49-23, and held a 43-31 advantage in ground balls. In addition, the Pioneers edged out the Bears in face-offs, going 9-for-17 in the circle to their 8-for-17.
Both teams also had six extra man opportunities. The Pioneers were successful on three attempts and the Bears converted on two.
Johnston completed the game with a hat trick while Rodriguez and Messina each registered a goal for the Pioneers. Giordano matched his season-high of 14 saves in goal.
Chris Lubin led NYIT in scoring with two goals while Joe Herman, Mike Palmer and A.P. Nist each had two. William McGee combined to make 15 saves in the game.
C.W. Post is back in action next Saturday when it hosts No. 5 Mercyhurst at 12 p.m. on Hickox Field.

You Are What You Eat
Do you eat enough fresh produce from fruits and vegetables?
We all know we should be eating more frest fruits and vegetables. The USDA now recommends 10 servings a day for optimal health.
Top nutrition experts recommend at least 50% of each meal should come from fruits and vegetables. A main reason people don't eat that way is price. Fresh produce can cost between $5 - $8 per day in most parts of the country.

Having some type of protein with every meal will help curb your appetite so you eat less, and will also curb the cravings for sugar. Sugar (and foods that turn into sugar quickly like breads, potatoes and pasta) not only create fat cells, but also rob our bodies of vital energy.
Protein is also an essential nutrient that helps to keep our white blood cells healthy and fight disease and infection.

There's a reason this place is the home away from home for so many American fashion editors: It's easy, it's cool, and it's casually stylish. Located a few blocks from the bohemian paradise of the Left Bank, Bel Ami has wireless internet, a multilingual staff, and giant beds with marshmallow mattresses—the kind you sink into when you sleep. There's always a cache of creative types having tea in the lobby, but the real action is just around the corner, where several of Paris' most iconic haunts, Café Fleur and Les Deux Magots among them, boast a cool mix of students, artists, and young travelers well into the night. But those who lack self control might want to find alternate arrangements, since Bel Ami is literally across the street from the French dessert Mecca, Ladurée.

If you consider Being Seen something of an occupation, Hôtel Costes is the place to be. A luxe crash pad for Bright Young Things like Mary-Kate Olsen and Kristen Stewart, the hotel also keeps house (and, presumably, secrets) for A-list adults like Johnny Depp and Catherine Deneuve. (On a recent visit, we spotted Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, at the bar.) But the megawatt clientele isn't Costes' only attraction: It boasts gilded walls, sumptuous linens, an indoor pool, and a shockingly comforting bowl of macaroni and cheese. (For fashion babes, there are many gluten-free options like quinoa, Dover sole, and steak tartare.) Hôtel Costes is located just two blocks from Colette, Chanel, and other major shopping havens, but beware: This hotel is a ville unto itself, and you may find yourself never wanting (or needing) to leave. In fact, Costes' pull is so strong, some guests even report feeling homesick once returning to their actual homes—though perfuming one's own rooms with the haute spot's signature fragrance can help restore balance and serenity to those experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) provide the basis for financial reporting to the capital markets in an increasing number of countries around the world. Over 100 countries either use or are adopting IFRS.
Those companies already on IFRS have their own challenges as the pace of standard- setting from the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has been intense in recent years with a constant flow of changes for companies to keep up with.
One of the major challenges of any reporting framework is how best to implement it in the context of a specific company or industry. IFRS is a principles based framework and short on industry guidance. PwC looks at how IFRS is applied in practice by oil and gas companies. This publication identifies the issues that are unique to the oil and gas companies industry and includes a number of real life examples to demonstrate how companies are responding to the various accounting challenges along the value chain.
Of course, it is not just IFRS that are constantly evolving but also the operational issues faced by oil and gas companies with the heavy demand for capital and risks faced by the industry driving more cooperative working relationships.
We look at some of main developments in this context with a selection of reporting topics that are of most practical relevance to oil and gas companies' activities. The new standards on joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and disclosure of interests in other entities will be of particular interest to companies in the oil and gas sector.
The debate about specific guidance for exploration, evaluation, development and production of oil and gas continues. This publication does not describe all IFRSs applicable to oil and gas entities but focuses on those areas that are of most interest to companies in the sector.
The ever-changing landscape means that management should conduct further research and seek specific advice before acting on any of the more complex matters raised. PwC has a deep level of insight into and commitment to helping companies in the sector report effectively. For more information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your local office or one of our specialist oil and gas partners.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is an action packed shooter with incredible detail, refined controls and great sound quality, then this title is worthy of a look, as it really adds to the realistic feel of what it would be like to gear up and take the leadership role in the middle of a war zone.
Super Gamer Dude
Xbox 360
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is an epic first person shooter which redefines the way in which combat action style shooters are undertaken. From the original which came out about six years ago Activision has continued to refine this brilliant model in order to make it an effective action shooter in a way which similar games are now adopting.
The heroes Soap and Price are in pretty bad shape, and the nefarious villain, Vladimir Makarov, is still missing and currently at large. You battle through various missions around the globe and use a very extensive range of weaponry during firefights.
The survival mode is also a new addition and allows various players to compete against wave after wave of enemies. Or the player may decide he wants to engage in firefights in a solo type environment, which makes for a harder, more engaging combat. As you engage in mission after mission in this new survival mode, you will be presented with much harder levels as the levels progress.
Where Modern Warfare 3 really shines is in the online multiplayer, where you can compete against human players which makes this shooter probably one of the most realistic type of shooting simulators ever to be constructed for any console. There are sixteen maps located in the multiplayer offering an excellent breeding ground for multiplayer combat.
You also have several modes of play from street firefights, controlling particular towns from invasion, stealth infiltrations, rooftop firefights, multiplayer as well as various survival modes, battle modes, online modes. Quite an array to keep the overall entertainment flowing.
Modern Warfare 3 has continued to improve on the previous titles offering better choice of weapons and upgrades, while keeping various elements from the previous titles, including Territorial Control, Bomb Planting, Snipers, Mass Killing to name but a few. In terms of graphics and overall performance this game is a continuation of this improvement and refinement.
If you like an all action packed shooter which incredible detail, refined controls and great sound quality, then this title is worthy of a look, as it really adds to the realistic feel of what it would be like to gear up and take the leadership role in the middle of a war zone.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) have announced their support for an Architecture for Humanity Sustainable Design Fellow, who will help play a critical role in rebuilding the infrastructure in Haiti that was demolished in the devastating earthquake. The qualified design professional selected will make a two-year commitment to work directly with community members on the ground in Architecture for Humanity's Rebuilding Center based in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
"As the dust begins to settle, Haiti is faced with critical need for new and structurally sound homes, schools, hospitals and infrastructure," says Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, USGBC. "The Sustainable Design Fellowship will equip a seasoned green building design professional with the tools he or she will need to help Architecture for Humanity in its rebuilding of sustainable communities in Haiti."
"The widespread devastation from the earthquake in Haiti was exacerbated by the lack of building codes, which is something we hope to address with the appropriate parties," says AIA executive vice president and CEO Christine McEntee. "Having a dedicated licensed architect who is well versed in design for disaster-prone areas will be a tremendous benefit for the country as it begins the rebuilding process."
"This is a wonderful opportunity to tap our collective resources and provide an on-site resource for community groups and NGOs seeking assistance in Haiti," says Kate Stohr, managing director of Architecture for Humanity. "We are grateful to the U.S. Green Building Council and the American Institute of Architects for creating this opportunity for their members to give back."
As a key member of Architecture for Humanity's Haiti rebuilding team, the USGBC-AIA sponsored Sustainable Design Fellow will provide tools and training for safe and sustainable construction to mitigate similar building failures in the future both to the informal trades and by increasing local professional capacity through training and assistance.

Big as LifeBy Luke Epplin
E. L. Doctorow's prescient, forgotten sci-fi novel.
No living novelist has written about New York City with as much historical insight as E. L. Doctorow, this generation's bard of the five boroughs. It seemed only a matter of time, then, before Doctorow grappled in his fiction with 9/11. But the recently released Andrew's Brain is an unlikely 9/11 novel, at least from Doctorow. For one, it's deliberately narrow in scope, structured as a claustrophobic dialogue between the titular character, a hapless titular scientist, and his faceless interlocutor, presumably a psychiatrist. Like his contemporaries—Don DeLillo with Falling Man, John Updike with Terrorist—Doctorow approaches the event not on a grand scale but in miniature.
In rambling, unreliable anecdotes, Andrew cycles through the devastating events of his adult life. As a sleep-deprived graduate student, he accidentally poisons his newborn daughter with faultily prescribed medicine. After his wife divorces him, Andrew, wracked with guilt, decamps for a small college in the Wasatch Mountains. There he meets Briony, a buoyant undergraduate gymnast—a manic pixie dream girl if ever there was one. Her improbable love lifts Andrew from his self-pitying grief cycle and allows him to experience happiness, at least fleetingly. She and Andrew marry and move to New York City, where Briony gives birth to a baby girl. Shortly thereafter, on a routine morning jog through downtown Manhattan, Briony dies in the September 11 attacks. In helpless despair, Andrew drives to his ex-wife's suburban home and hands her his infant daughter, seemingly as a replacement for the one he had neglectfully killed years earlier. Read More

Moodiness is normal in teenagers. A condition called depression is more than just moodiness. It's a serious but treatable illness that affects your child's mood and behavior. Your teen has been showing signs of depression. Below is more information on this often misunderstood condition.
Depression is a mood disorder. This means that the condition affects your child's mood and behavior. No one is exactly sure what causes depression. It is known that depression is associated with changes in levels of certain chemicals in the brain. These chemicals affect the ability to feel and experience pleasure. Depression may run in families, and a teen may be more likely to become depressed if someone else in the family has had depression.
Depression is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms. A teen may not have every symptom. But any symptoms that are severe or that get in the way of daily life are important to talk to a healthcare provider about. In teens, common signs and symptoms of depression are:
Loss of interest in family, friends, or activities that were once enjoyed
Talking about feeling hopeless or worthless
Increase in reckless or risk-taking behavior
Talk of suicide or death
Drop in grades
Being fearful, anxious, restless, or irritable
Excessive crying
Big changes in appetite or weight
Eating or sleeping more or less than usual
Having trouble remembering, concentrating, or making decisions
Aggressive or hostile behavior
Drug or alcohol use
Causing self-injury (cutting, burning, or bruising oneself on purpose)
You've taken your child to a health care provider and gotten a diagnosis of depression. What now? Left untreated, depression can cause many problems. It can lead to drug and alcohol abuse and risk-taking behavior. It can make the development of other mental health problems more likely. And it is a risk factor for suicide. But treatment can help. Your child's health care provider may refer your child to a mental-health professional for evaluation and treatment.
The two most common treatments for depression are medications and talk therapy. Both methods can take a few weeks to start working. But both can be very effective and are often used together.
Medications for depression are called antidepressants. These medications affect the balance of certain chemicals in the brain, helping restore them to normal levels. Medications can be very helpful. But finding the best medication for your child may take time. If medications are prescribed, follow instructions carefully. Let your healthcare provider know how your child is doing on the medication and whether you see any changes. Never stop a medication on your own without talking to the doctor first. Also, never give your child herbal medications along with antidepressants. In teens and young adults, antidepressants can sometimes cause increased thinking about suicide. If this happens, talk to your teen's doctor right away.
Talk therapy for depression involves talking to a counselor or other trained professional. Different counselors use different methods for talk therapy. But all therapies aim to help change thoughts and feelings about problems. Therapy is often done one-on-one. But it can also be done in a group with other teens or with other members of the family.
Recovery from any illness takes time. Getting better from depression is no different. While your child is recovering, here are things that can help him or her feel better:
Let your child know that depression is a serious illness that is not your child's fault.
Be understanding of your child. Your child's behavior may be trying at times, but he or she is just trying to cope. Your support can make a huge difference.
Encourage your child to spend time with friends and loved ones.
Have your child exercise regularly. Exercise has been shown to help relieve symptoms of depression.
Has side effects from a medication.
Has depression that gets worse.
Becomes very aggressive or angry.
Shows signs or talks of hurting himself or herself (see below).
Depression can fill your child's head with thoughts so negative that killing him- or herself can seem like the only option. If you are concerned that your child may be thinking about suicide, do not hesitate to ask your child about it. Asking about suicide does NOT lead to suicide. If your child talks about suicide, act right away! Call your child's health care provider, 911, or 800-SUICIDE (800-784-2433), or 800-273-TALK (800-273-8 255) right away.

ModBargains.com | Your #1 National Ohlins Dealer - High End Competition Suspension
Well if you've heard the rumors, they are true, Ohlins Suspension is indeed making a Road&Track version of their world renown coilovers, in a fitment specialized for E46 M3. Details have yet to be divulged, but as soon as more information starts coming in, this thread will indeed be updated. As of right now, ModBargains is your ONLY Ohlins dealer currently reporting on the newest and most up to date information in regards to Ohlins suspension, specific to the E46 M3.
Ron, the Ohlins crew and myself!
Picture above is for BMW 1 Series
Of course what we do know is that we should see the same quality that Ohlins has given us for years, with features and benefits, including the following:
Adjustable ride Height
Corrosion resistant construction
Improved handling and braking
Driver tunable shocks
Patented heat dissipation technology
Includes all hardware necessary
2 Year Limited Warranty
Many suspension companies claim to be the best in the world, but have no proof to back their claims up. Ohlins Suspension has won over 200 World Titles in numerous 2-wheel and 4-wheel motorsports. They are the motorsports teams' suspension of choice being involved in many high-level motorsports such as WRC, Touring Cars, the Indy 500, and World Superbikes. Many of the teams using Ohlins Suspenion have consistently made thousands of podiums proving that they are the best in the world. Ohlins Suspension brings this winning suspension technology to their Road & Track Coilovers to ensure that you are getting only the very best for your performance vehicle.
This is the latest step in the Ohlins Racing automotive philosophy - Road&Track by Ohlins. A more than 30 year long tradition of high-end racing commitments and state-of-the-art solutions within advanced suspension technology is now available for street cars all over the world. The focus has been clear from the very beginning - superior road handling without sacrificing comfort in your day-to-day transports. The time of compromises are over!
Ohlins has added a clever light-weight design with a majority of the parts in aluminum. On top of that, all shocks have suffered through vast corrosion tests according to ISO 9227. The end result is a 2-year limited warranty on all of our products - worldwide.
The Features of DFV Technology
So what is DFV? It is Dual Flow Valve technology - and it sets us apart from our competitors. Only Ohlins has DFV technology on its road and track products.
With DFV, the dual flow valve gives the same characteristics on rebound as it does on compression, thanks to the damper fluid having a consistent path of flow in both directions. This means that the wheel and tire can quickly and effectively resume their important position back on the ground, providing grip and traction. The new Öhlins R&T range uses DFV technology on every single fitment, making it the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast that needs comfort and agility in the one unit.
Figure 1: (Compression flow) At low shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the shaft jet bleed (lower dotted arrow). At higher shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the compression ports in the piston (upper dotted arrow). At very high shaft speeds, or during sudden shaft accelerations, oil can also escape through the compression ports in the DFV, increasing comfort. Figure 2: (Rebound flow) At low shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the shaft jet bleed (lower dotted arrow). At higher shaft speeds, oil flows mostly through the rebound ports in the piston (upper dotted arrow). At very high shaft speeds, or during sudden shaft accelerations, oil can also escape through the rebound ports in the DFV, maintaining tire contact with the road.
Because DFV opens more quickly and easily on minor road imperfections, ride comfort is surprisingly supple and more akin to an OEM strut than a coilover set-up. Over undulating surfaces, the compliancy of the R&T units allows the car to crest bumps and pot-holes, whilst still keep stable and in control. Traction is always maintained at its optimum level. When comparing suspension, why settle for second best?
Figure 3: (Vehicle - no DFV) Without DFV the oil can not flow through the piston quickly enough on the rebound stroke after hitting a bump, so the tyre is not able to stay in contact with the road.
Figure 4: (Vehicle - DFV technique) The DFV valve opens, letting the oil flow quicker through the piston on the rebound stroke after hitting a bump, enabling the tyre to stay in contact with the road.
When adjusting ride height on coilover units, it's worth comparing how it's done. On many inferior designs, height is adjusted by raising or lowering the lower spring platform. This has the effect of compressing or extending the spring, which can limit the suspension travel that may cause topping out. The Öhlins method is to leave the spring seat in its perfect position, whilst the lower flange spins easily on the threaded body, to allow you to adjust with absolute precision whilst maintaining the perfect characteristics that we took so long to design in! Once you've set it all up, the adjuster simply locks off to maintain your exact settings.
Dampers will get hot. That's one thing that you can be sure of. As the piston moves within the damper, it generates friction - and therefore, heat. Although we can't stop heat, we can deal with it, and this is yet another way that Öhlins differs from the competition. As the heat increases, the viscosity of the damper fluid can change, altering the car's handling characteristics. Our unique needle bleed valve expands with temperature, closing the gap that the fluid travels through, maintaining a consistent damping rate. The best thing of all? You won't even notice! All you'll feel is that the car responds consistently, lap after lap, turn after turn. Allowing you to concentrate on braking points and apexes whilst the Öhlins technology takes care of the damping.
Figure 5: Thermal Expansion
These kits all work well 'out of the box', but there's still plenty of adjustment for you to set things your way. You like stiff and reactive? Or soft and forgiving? It's all there. Too much low speed rebound damping can have an adverse effect on grip, so the easily accessible adjuster at the base of the Öhlins units allows small, but positive increments of fine tuning, so you can take into account every single parameter. Sounds complicated? Nothing could be further for the truth. Just a few clicks either way from our factory settings will soon have your car responding precisely to your inputs and driving style.
The Road & Track McPherson struts also feature camber adjustable upper and lower mounts to give you the possibility to fine tune your wheels for the right occasion - whether you want to go for a ride in your neighborhood or take your car for a spin at the track on a weekend.
