Centex Homes is offering closeout pricing within its Traditions and The Ranches neighborhoods in North Las Vegas. Priced from the low $300,000s, the homes are suited to families with a variety of living arrangements, according to sales executive Mike Webb.
"For starters, many of our homes sit on lots that exceed 8,000 square feet. The space allows for a swimming pool, basketball court, barbecue area — almost any kind of outdoor space residents can imagine," Webb said.
According to Webb, flexibility of space extends to the designs' indoor areas.
Offering homes with up to six bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, the Traditions' four two-story floor plans range from 2,458 to 3,807 square feet. All include a dining room, game loft and three garage spaces. Interiors are appointed with granite kitchen countertops, cultured marble bath vanities and upgraded cabinets. An upgraded appliance package with washer, dryer and refrigerator is included.
Located adjacent to Traditions, The Ranches offers three single-story home plans measuring 2,098 to 2,752 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths or four bedrooms and three baths. Standard interior features include granite kitchen countertops and an upgraded appliance package with a refrigerator. Homes are available for 30-day move-ins. Pricing begins in the low $300,000s.
Both neighborhoods are located near Interstate 15 and I-215, the Las Vegas Beltway. Sales hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, except Monday when model homes open at noon.
To visit, take I-15 north and exit Craig Road west. Turn right on Losee Road, left on Centennial Parkway, right on Lawrence Street and left on Ashley Lynn Avenue to the sales office. From the Beltway, exit south on Losee, turn right on Centennial, right on Lawrence and left on Ashley Lynn to the sales office. For more information, visit centexvegas.com or call 644-4216.

Effect of surface oxidation on the onset of nucleate boiling in a materials test reactor coolant channel
The onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) serves as the thermal-hydraulic operating limit for many research and test reactors. However, boiling incipience under forced convection has not been well-characterized in narrow channel geometries or for oxidized surface conditions. This study presents experimental data for the ONB in vertical upflow of deionized (DI) water in a simulated materials test reactor (MTR) coolant channel. The channel gap thickness and aspect ratio were 1.96 mm and 29:1, respectively. Boiling surface conditions were carefully controlled and characterized, with both heavily oxidized and native oxide surfaces tested. Measurements were performed for mass fluxes ranging from 750 to 3000 kg/m 2s and for subcoolings ranging from 10 to 45°C. ONB was identified using a combination of high-speed visual observation, surface temperature measurements, and channel pressure drop measurements. Surface temperature measurements were found to be most reliable in identifying the ONB. For the nominal (native oxide) surface, results indicate that the correlation of Bergles and Rohsenow, when paired with the appropriate single-phase heat transfer correlation, adequately predicts the ONB heat flux. Furthermore, incipience on the oxidized surface occurred at a higher heat flux and superheat than on the plain surface.

Who's excited for Easter weekend?
This girl! Today is the first day I've had off since I started my "real girl job" and I couldn't be happier to spend it at home with my parents and brother. I went to Jazzercise this morning, got coffee with the girls and made a healthy lunch for my family. Soaking up time at home is exactly what I needed.
And know what else I needed?
This cobalt blue dress from {Fashion Forward Boutique}. Yes, the color is gorgeous, and so is the length and the flowy fabric, but can we please check out the back of this dress?
I'm a sucker for bows and I'm a sucker for pretty backs.
Thus, this dress is pretty much to-die-for in my book.
I'm in love.
What I'm wearing:
What are everyone's plans for Easter? My family always goes to church and then heads to my Gramma's house for Easter brunch. I'm spending tomorrow in the kitchen with momma baking up some goodies!
Love, Cait

that across the gigantic rolling universe
spawning billions and billions of galaxies
seedbeds to trillions and trillions of suns
upon this single infinitesimal dust mote
among innumerable other specks of dust
one oddball talking ape no crazier than
seven billion others should sit here now
diddling with these convoluted symbols
fascinated by their imagined importance
stones would guffaw if they had a voice
And I said to my spirit:
When we become the enfolders of those orbs,
and the pleasure and knowledge
of everything in them,
shall we be filled and satisfied then?
And my spirit said:
No, we but level that lift
to pass and continue beyond.
-- Walt Whitman --
Here's the perspective of our planet which modern astronomy reveals--Carl Sagan's "pale blue dot"--except much tinier and even more insignificant. Consider just one drop from all the world's oceans, or one grain of sand from all its beaches and deserts--these still wouldn't be as overwhelmed by number and immensity as Earth is by the breathtaking vastness of our ever-expanding universe.
Then add to this cosmic revelation the fact that any individual is merely one of almost seven billion other human beings crammed onto this infinitesimal dust mote--well, do the math. Any appraisal of a person's worth based primarily on size, power and quantity must equal virtually absolute zero.
It's hard to over-emphasize how much this staggering awareness now pervades our contemporary consciousness and underlies the taint of meaninglessness which increasingly infects it. We can so easily feel annihilated by the billions of light years suddenly encountered through this explosion of the boundaries of time and space.
In reality though, most of us, most of the time, aren't thinking about this at all. We're too busy scrambling to hold onto a job, make a buck, pay the bills, sort out our personal problems, and basically just keep our own private little boats afloat. Who cares about the Big Bang, if our intimate, immediate, emotionally riveting world is collapsing all around us?
This split between the background of our cosmic condition and the foreground of our myopic obsession exposes the crux of an existential crisis. We no longer celebrate a communal, over-arching spiritual narrative which could healingly reconnect these two extreme polarities. Instead, we're left with a claustrophobic preoccupation with practical survival and material consumption on one hand; and modern science's strictly secular and empirical insistence on a gigantic but soulless universe on the other. It seems the little question of what it all means--what we all mean--got lost in translation somewhere between the shopping mall and the void.
What can we do about this? How do we restore real meaning and true purpose to our lives, when those sustaining myths and religions by which so many lived in agreement for thousands of years no longer speak to us?
One answer: abandon belief in the legitimacy of any such redemptive metaphysical explanations, concentrating instead exclusively on worldly success, material rewards, and the illusion of lifelong security. This is the huge majority's cynical choice in our capitalist Western Society, despite mainly token religious affiliations, and we see by now where it leads.
But there is another choice, for those with the courage to make it: to discover and express our own personal myth--that compelling and transforming narrative which reveals the hidden meaning, directing purpose, and intrinsic destiny of our unique, individual existence. This path is demanding however; it requires our complete inward surrender.
That's one half of the challenge. The other: to weave this personal meta-story, along with the just-realized vocation which accompanies it, into the ever-expanding fabric of a new spiritual community, one composed of other intrepid explorers who are doing exactly the same thing.
This new spiritual community now emerging--in actual fact, a new paradigm--is intuitive, unconventional, flowing, creative, multi-valanced, and largely invisible. We won't be officially joining up, following the rules and procedures, nor attending regular meetings or services. There'll be no Ten Commandments engraved on stone tablets; not even helpful answers printed in the back of any book.
The only sure guide will be that Still Small Voice whispering from our innermost souls, inspiring us to focus all our private destinies into a renewed public vision of spiritual community--and then, once more, as we've always done, to poise this beacon bravely against the towering scale of the stars...

Browse these adult tap dance lessons with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Bountiful.
The Center for Performing Arts is amazing! I love being there! The people and teachers are so outgoing and spontaneous. I took private lessons there with Halee and I learned so much from her in such a short amount of time, which is exactly what I ask her for! She will find out what you want, and give you exactly that! Everyone there makes you feel welcomed and at home. I would recommend taking private lessons, dance classes, singing, acting the whole shabang at The Center for Performing Arts! You won't be disappointed!
We are enjoying our dance lessons very much.
Pamm was an excellent teacher. She was very friendly and helped us to feel comfortable when neither of us were very good at dancing. She also came up with a simple but beautiful first dance for our wedding. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend her!
My wife and I were planning on taking a cruise. We've done several and always saw other couples out dancing especially on a formal night. I thought it would be more special and romantic if we could also be out there dancing. So, for Christmas I bought dance lessons to get ready for the cruise. I found Vashti on Thumbtack and wow, we really hit the jackpot. She is talented and a highly regarded dancer both nationally and internationally. She has won so many awards and competitions. What was also cool was she gave us private lessons so we didn't feel uncomfortable learning and practicing in front of a large crowd. Her teaching techniques were nicely customized for us and she had a lot of patience. Her fees were also amazing as I shopped around especially in light of her many accomplishments and honors. I totally would recommend her to anyone looking for any dance instruction from beginners to more advanced students. She's amazing! Oh, and the cruise was truly magical largely in part to the help we got from Vashti.
My daughter loves taking dance classes at L'Esthetique and has shown a marked improvement in many skill areas. I've also taken some entry-level adult classes and loved the individualized attention and curriculum. Highly recommended!
I amaze all that see me, take that.
I used to dance like Elane from Seinfeld, Alan is very helpful and knows how to teach different people. He has high energy and is always willing to take the extra time to help even the people who struggle the most. I would definately recommend him to my friends and family.

- May I take this opportunity to say how pleased we were with the service provided for our trip to Cheltenham Festival. The vehicle was splendid but most of all the quality of the service provided by your two drivers was first class. I cant speak highly enough in praise of their outstanding contributions to our enjoyment of the trip.Roger Sparkes
- I am writing this to thank your driving staff for 2 brilliant days at Cheltenham . All 4 are a credit to your business, very engaging, nothing was too much trouble. My customers and I were impressed with your coaches both days, just like last year. I would thoroughly recommend your business to everyone.Matt Laws, Sales Manager
- I would like to say a massive thank you to you for a job well done on Wednesday. Your coaches arrived on time and got us to where we needed to be on time... sounds simple but in Central London it can be a huge challenge. The coaches were the perfect type of coach for our corporates too. We will definitely use Clarkes next time we have a group in London.Rachel, MYT
- We recently hired two of your coaches to take a group of 95 students to Devon and your coach drivers were Erik and Wayne. They were brilliant. They kept us up to date with any traffic issues and delays and were highly professional. More importantly, they were so nice to our students - welcoming them on the coach, making sure they were well hosted and just really helpful.Graveney School
- I would like to say on behalf of myself and the rest of my team, thank you so much for the outstanding service you provided yesterday. All children arrived on time without any issues and the shuttle service ran incredibly smoothly. Without your help this event simply would not have been able to go ahead. Your drivers did a wonderful job! We hope to work with you again in the future.Sophie Walker
- Thank you ever so much for taking us to Margate. Our coach driver was amazing; the entire team that dealt with us especially the commercial director Mr Colin Stephens (who made last minute adjustments to accommodate us) were helpful and very polite. From our church and Pastor Samuel Akinboro, we say a very BIG THANKS.TECC Team
- Id like to thank you for the exceptionally high standard of coach you provided for our trip to Southend in August. Id also like to send a big thank you to our driver who continued to maintain an impressive standard of professionalism, given the fact he faced several unforeseen challenges. I really do hope your company grows from strength to strength. We look forward to carrying out future bookings.Mr C Thompson
- I cannot express my gratitude for the great job you and your drivers have done! EVERY single one of them was very helpful and lovely. Martin and the coach drivers were AMAZING!Stan, Transport Management
- Thank you to everybody whom we dealt with at Clarkes regarding our recent hire. Everybody we dealt with has been extremely helpful and professional and we found our driver Carl to be friendly, flexible, courteous and he couldn't do enough for us. He is a great ambassador for your company. He really helped to make the weekend. We enjoy using Clarkes and have nothing but good experiences and service over the last few years, we would not hesitate to use you again and would recommend Clarkes to anybody who required such a transport service.Julius Hobbs, Head Coach
- We would like to say thank you to you all so very much, its worked perfectly from start to finish. Making the bookings and arrangements with you has been easy and efficient, as always, and the drivers have been wonderful - it reminds me why, for peace of mind, we always choose Clarkes - thank you again!Garry, Mariinsky Theatre Trust
- I am writing to say what an excellent service your staff provided yesterday. We hired 2 coaches for a corporate event to collect VIP guests. Due to a protest in the area this could potentially have been a major problem for the coach to access the hotel, on his own initiative, Daryl made the appropriate calls and decided to send the coaches early as roads were being closed. An excellent decision, as otherwise there would have been no other way for the coaches to reach the guests. This was so far above the service of any other coach company that I have used in the past. All in all, a really first rate service and as a result the client and I will definitely use your services again, as well as recommending you to others.Miranda, The Professional Organisation
- Thanks to Clarkes and your drivers for a fantastic service that you gave for my booking. It was very much appreciated and I will definitely be making further bookings/ recommending you in the future.Alex
- I would like to thank your company and especially Sage for the service provided. I understand from those that travelled on the coach, Sage did a marvellous job especially when it came to looking after one of the older, less mobile ladies on board. By all accounts, he is a fine ambassador for your company. Congratulations to Clarkes for a job well done. Entirely as expected.Barry Kempster
Working with Clarkes Coaches means you are working with excellence, from negotiation, operation, to final accounting every aspect of the company works to the highest degree of standards. Having worked on large corporate movements in conjunction with other coach operators, Clarkes and their operational team stands out way above the rest. The drivers are trained to the highest standards and immaculately dressed, they take pride in their assigned coach and have a positive attitude to work. Clarkes are excellent at handling high profile events and the additional pressure these events can bring, no movement in too big or too small as they view every project of equal importance, whatever the size.London Agent
We used your company 4 times last week and i would just like to say how efficient the service was, we had 3 different drivers all professional, friendly and helpful. , Jason, John and Simon, who deserves a special mention as he liaised with me about timings and was great with the students.Tour Director USA
I am writing to thank your company, particularly our drivers Paul and Paul for driving us safely to Bormio for our Easter ski trip. I would like to acknowledge the fact the both drivers were very safe and professional.Ski Party Leader
I am writing to thank the drivers of the coaches who drove our students to Crystal Palace, for their good humour, patience and helpfulness – Particularly Paul for his kindness in providing assistance for a student who needed an urgent comfort stop, his response to the situation was exemplary.Assistant PrincipalAcademy Bermondsey
Whilst 100% of Tachograph records are examined in-house, 25% are re-examined and verified independently by ourselves. We have found the directors and staff a pleasure to work with, always taking a keen pride in their operation and vehicles. All staff have a genuine interest in compliance and their zero tolerance policy prevails at all times.Tachograph Analysis Consultants Limited
I went on a school trip to Austria with my school, of course it was going to be a good trip. But instead it was amazing thanks to 2 people, Choi and Keith our coach drivers made it the best trip ever! They were fun and always had jokes to tell us, they were always smiley and friendly and we all felt very safe with either of them driving.Student
Our recent annual trip to the Marne went absolutely splendidly. I would not dream of using another operator as Clarkes contribute so greatly to the success, not least because of having Colin as our driver every year, there is some tricky driving in the towns to which he handled completely without complaint, he was also most cooperative regarding our timings and all those on the trip appreciated his friendly participation.

September progress report
September 23, 2008
We have had additional progress on our new animation system for NPCs. This was a complex crossover from our previous placeholder system to the final animation system. It involved changing which 3D package we use to animate, changing model and animation formats to Collada, tweaking our animation pipeline to work with these, and programming our own code to read these formats. This has been a long crossover Work is still going on to fix various bugs in this new system, but we anticipate being fully functional next week.
In art, work continues despite the disruption of changing formats. We have lost a modeler, but immediately replaced him with a new artist, though the new modeler is still getting up to speed on our ways of of doing things, and using our tools. New model additions to the world this month include the University (with all 31 Cadre locations), the Spirit League Interior, finishing work on the Heroes League and Marksman League and the main Theater in the Carnival District. New character models and NPC models are also in progress as well as our first monsters (if you must know, a Ravager Fiend,and an Shadow Imp, two creatures from the DarkHalls). These have been turned over to the texture artists for completion before animation.
Concept art is now being done on Silvarian, the Eyes of Darkness. She is the key character who rules the Citadel. We're also starting concept art on the final look of the character races so that modeling can get cracking there as well. Up until now all characters and NPC models have been human.
We're still waiting on the next engine update, but have hopes for getting it in the next few weeks.
Design work (which is never ending on CoS) has been done in many areas, though character Abilities has been a major area of concentration lately. Currently a revamp of the Quest building process and corresponding portion of our Enact tool (phase two) has been getting our design teams attention as well.
In Level building the Tavern District is finished with all dynamic objects (decorations and such) in place. The Warehouse district is now under construction and work continues on the Merchant District. We're still concentrated on the Citadel area until programming gets to the main terrain system (this will be some months away still). Meanwhile we continue to work with terrain made the old fashion way, by hand. All that placeholder terrain will go away and be replaced by the new system terrain generator eventually (more on that when we get there).
Quest design also continues, though at a slower pace currently as we are concentrating on other areas of the game.
As for a new look to the CoS web site, some work has been done on this, but being low priority, it may be another month or so before we put that up on the web.
That's the news on Citadel of Sorcery in September; progress goes on at a steady pace.

Hammer Source Map Construction Breakdown takes a look at what elements levels are made up of in Hammer Source. Knowing how a map is constructed inside Source helps you to understand your own process and what you need to do with your own maps.
The tutorial covers:
How the map constructed?
What elements are used?
How everything comes together in Hammer Source.
3 example map files were used from L4D2.
Brushes and Entities make up the map inside Source.
Brushes are the basic building blocks. Walls, buildings, skyboxes, roads are all made up of brushes. Brushes are best used to define the shell of your environment. Basic geometric shapes.
Brushes can also be converted into entities inside Hammer. When a brush becomes complex geometry it is often converted into func_detail.
Displacements/Terrain are also created from brushes.
Entites are various gameplay elements such as player starts, weapons. Entities are also lights, props (static, physics, dynamic), complex geometry and converted brushes.
When you are creating your environment, start with basic brushes. Simple geometric shapes.
Then move on to more complex brushes and entities.

Google coughed up $500 million to the U.S. Justice Department to settle an illegal pharmacy advertising case.
Google coughed up $500 million to the U.S. Department of Justice to settle a case involving illegal drug sales, a fraudulent fugitive, and sting operation websites. The company sold ads to Canadian pharmacies illegally sending drugs to the U.S. Earlier this year, Google hinted at the DOJ investigation in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
"The Department of Justice will continue to hold accountable companies who in their bid for profits violate federal law and put at risk the health and safety of American consumers," said Deputy Attorney General James Colein a press release. "This settlement ensures that Google will reform its improper advertising practices with regard to these pharmacies while paying one of the largest financial forfeiture penalties in history."
According to the DOJ release, Google's settlement reflects its acknowledgement that the company "improperly assisted Canadian online pharmacy advertisers to run advertisements that targeted the United States through AdWords…." Investigators also found that between 2003 and 2009, Google assisted some of the involved pharmacy advertisers in placing and optimizing AdWords ads and landing pages.
"We banned the advertising of prescription drugs in the U.S. by Canadian pharmacies some time ago. However, it's obvious with hindsight that we shouldn't have allowed these ads on Google in the first place. Given the extensive coverage this settlement has already received, we won't be commenting further," stated a Google spokesperson in an email sent to ClickZ.
The DOJ release stated, "The forfeiture, one of the largest ever in the United States, represents the gross revenue received by Google as a result of Canadian pharmacies advertising through Google's AdWords program, plus gross revenue made by Canadian pharmacies from their sales to U.S. consumers."
The investigation has especially scandalous roots. According to the release, a man under investigation for financial fraud sought refuge in Mexico, where he bought AdWords to promote his unlawful drug sales business. "During the ensuing investigation of Google, the government established a number of undercover websites for the purpose of advertising the unlawful sale of controlled and non-controlled substances through Google's AdWords program," the release said.
In an Securities and Exchange Commission report filed earlier this year, Google indicated it had set aside $500 million, noting the stash was held "in connection with a potential resolution of an investigation by the United States Department of Justice into the use of Google advertising by certain advertisers…."
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Rhode Island and the FDA/OCI Rhode Island Task Force. The Food and Drug Administration also monitors pharmaceutical ad content, and pharma drug brand advertisers are especially risk averse in their use of online advertising, social media, and other digital platforms due to a lack of clear guidance on what is required of them by the FDA in those environments.
"The result of this investigation has been a fundamental transformation of Internet pharmacy advertising practices, significantly limiting promotion to U.S. consumers by rogue online pharmacies," said Kathleen Martin-Weis, acting director of the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations in the release.
Once the company learned of the investigation in 2009, Google started requiring that pharma advertisers be certified by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy's Verified Internet Pharmacy Practices Sites. Google also hired an outside firm to sniff out flaws in its pharma advertiser screening system.
The company filed a civil suit in federal court against what it called "rogue" pharmacy advertisers in September 2010. Google explained its challenges in keeping illegal pill sellers off its ad platform in a company blog post about a year ago, written by Michael Zwibelman, Google's litigation counsel. "As we and others build new safeguards and guidelines, rogue online pharmacies always try new tactics to get around those protections and illegally sell drugs on the web…. This has meant that despite our best efforts – from extensive verification procedures, to automated keyword blocking, to changing our ads policies – a small percentage of pharma ads from these rogue companies is still appearing on Google."

An amount of freshwater almost the size of the Dead Sea has been lost in parts of the Middle East due to poor management, increased demands for groundwater and the effects of a 2007 drought, according to a NASA study.
The study, to be published Friday in Water Resources Research, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, examined data over seven years from 2003 from a pair of gravity-measuring satellites which is part of NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment or GRACE. Researchers found freshwater reserves in parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran along the Tigris and Euphrates river basins had lost 117 million acre feet (144 cubic kilometers) of its total stored freshwater, the second fastest loss of groundwater storage loss after India.
About 60 percent of the loss resulted from pumping underground reservoirs for ground water, including 1,000 wells in Iraq, and another fifth was due to impacts of the drought including declining snow packs and soil drying up. Loss of surface water from lakes and reservoirs accounted for about another fifth of the decline, the study found.
If more desalination plants are installed in combination with CSP [Concentrating Solar Power], as a sustainable energy alternative, this would change conventional desalination to sustainable desalination by decreasing the fossil fuel share, carbon footprint and secure the mid-and long-term future water and energy supply in the region.

I think you are spot on about the abuse, too. Let's build inside snow ski slopes, fake islands, wave pools, fountains and lavish gardens all over a region that probably couldn't support itself should they have to supply their own food.
Insanity all the way around.
I feel the same way about Las Vegas and most of the resort areas of the southwest US, so it's not just a Middle East isolated incidence......they are just trying to do it grander and faster.

Six killed in militant attack in Assam
Goalpara (Assam): At least six persons were killed and seven others seriously injured when suspected Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants opened fire on a group of people gambling on the occasion of Diwali in Assam's Goalpara district on Sunday night.
The armed insurgents swooped on the group of gamblers at remote Gendamari in Aagia police station and randomly fired on them from automatic weapons at around 9 PM.
Bholanath Rabha, Amarendra Rabha, Jayanta Rabha, Puran Rabha, Kalpanath Rabha and Lulu Rabha died on the spot, official sources said.
The injured were rushed to Goalpara Civil Hospital by the local people who alleged that the police came late at the site of the firing.
Meanwhile, senior police officers have rushed to the spot from the district headquarters town of Goalpara and security has been beefed up in the district following the incident, the sources said.
Goalpara district has been witnessing violence since October 20 with protests against the upcoming Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council elections between November 13 and 25 demanding exclusion of non Rabha areas from the Council.
The sources, however, ruled out that tonight's incident was connected with the Council elections.
Proscribed GNLA, based in the jungles of Garo Hills district of Meghalaya near Goalpara district, has been fighting for a separate state since 2009.
They attack security forces and civilians, trigger blasts and kidnap people to extort money.

For people who have ha the opportunity to follow my posts: my first report on the company, when I commented on the company taking it's subsidiaries private or on a recent acquisition over the past two years, know how much we are fond of Fairfax Financial Holdings limited. This Canadian based insurer has provided great returns for it's shareholders through astute acquisitions and massive gains on credit default swaps derivative contracts in 2008. I am very pleased with it's performance for the past two years I have held at the company's stock.
The company announced on January 18th 2011 that the 99% of the shareholders of First Mercury Financial Corporation that cast their vote had visibly almost unanimously voted in favor of the friendly takeover bid proposed by Fairfax Financial. This acquisition is very typical of the way the company's CEO, the great investor Vivan Prem Watsa manages these operations. For those who are not accustomed to the company, it's name stands for Fair and Frieldly Acquisitions and should not be mistaken with Fairfax county in Virginia. The company will generally come with a bid for a company that is usually higher than the target's current price and win the approval of shareholders.
It is interesting to note that acquisitions and major investments are managed at the holding company level by Vivam Prem Watsa and his small team. As of the last quarterly earnings release, the company stated that it had $32.5 billion of assets and close to $8.9 billion of shareholder's equity or 416$ per share and this is certainly the first reason to buy the stock. We also know from the 2010 annual meeting slide presentation that when current management took over in 1985, the company's book value was 1.52$ per share. They have to be doing something right in the tough insurance business.
Many other factors have to be taken into account, but I have noticed that when the company is trading under book value per share, it tends to rally back to this value. At the current price of 383$ per share, that implies at least an 8.3% return if book value doesn't change by the next quarterly filing on February 17th 2011.
10 year target price: 910$

Gambian lawmakers on Wednesday voted to recognize the 15th day of the holy month of Ramadan as Orphan's Day during an extra ordinary session requested by President Yahya Jammeh.
Foreign Minister Neneh MacDouall-Gaye tabled a bill at the National Assembly following a request by the Organization for Islamic Cooperation to recognize the day for its member states and humanitarian organizations to take relevant action to raise awareness on the plight and needs of orphans.
Foreign Minister Gaye said The Gambia's government has been paying special attention to the needs of orphans and it is greatly concerned about their plight. The government, she said has championed the welfare of women and children including orphans and widows, through many and diverse policy interventions and programs.
Responses in times of humanitarian crisis, especially during natural disasters (a leading cause for the increase number of orphans) remain inadequate principally in the Islamic world, prompting the OIC in 2013 to pass a resolution to stir member states to turn commitments into action oriented goals.
The OIC launched a special program for the welfare and protection of orphans after the catastrophic 2004 tsunami that killed at least 225,000 people across a dozen countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Maldives, and Thailand being the hardest hit.
A 2003 social welfare survey in The Gambia says at least 65,000 orphans and vulnerable children live across the country, which has significantly increased since.
After Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand faced global criticism for turning away Myanmar's Rohingya people, The Gambia pledged to take all Rohingya refugees as part of its "sacred duty" to alleviate the suffering of fellow Muslims escaping oppression to south-east Asia.
The Gambia is the world's newest Islamic Republic and is preparing to host the OIC summit in 2018.

Bill Waite's 1930 American Austin 5-window coupe, aquired in May of 2007. We've named him Malcolm.
The car has been in storage for over 70 years and only has 12,724 original miles on the odometer.
Malcolm rolled off the Butler, PA assembly line in July of 1930 and was then used as the American Austin Car Company display vehicle until the company went bankrupt in 1934.
This particular American Austin (production #L-1621) was detailed at the factory and used in the American Austin Car Company exhibit at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair.

A former Whitby priest has hit out at Shakespeare, calling the legendary Bard's writing "boring" for schoolchildren.
Graham Taylor, who now lives in Scarborough, has claimed the Government should do more to get children interested in literature.
However, he added that forcing them to read the works of William Shakespeare is not the way forward.
Now a successful author, Mr Taylor owns a cafe and secondhand book shop and said the style of writing and subject makes Shakespeare's plays incomprehensible to schoolchildren. He added: "Take a book like Of Mice and Men. It is a great book but it is just not relevant to young people and they do not get anything from it."
In his opinion it would prove much more successful for modern-day authors and storytellers visiting schools to meet children face-to-face.
The New York Times bestselling author explained: "Authors are storytellers. They know how to get people interested in the story and I find that even when we are saying the same things as the teachers, pupils will be more open to us as we are not their teacher.
"The problem is, of course, that authors can not give up all of their time free of charge and so this costs money.
"Funding schools to ensure every pupil has the chance to meet authors and work with them, it makes a huge difference. I see it myself and other authors I speak to do as well."
This could be aided by the Government bringing more modern writing into the curriculum and Mr Taylor has called for the works of modern authors such as Sue Townsend to be taught in lessons.
Mr Taylor has enjoyed success with a number of his novels, including Shadowmancer, Wormwood and Tersias and his novel Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box was recently made into a film starring Sam Neill and Lena Headey.
Before embarking on a career in writing, Mr Taylor was a police officer, motorcyclist and Anglican vicar in Whitby.
He was speaking in support of The Yorkshire Post's Turning the Page campaign.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
The Backstory
Clara Bow (1905-1965) is my favourite flapper. The "It Girl" of the silent film era, Bow used her charm and sex appeal to capture the audiences of 1920s. She had the look of a naughty cherub, with her mussed up curls, doll-like smirk and sad, sooty eyes accented with penciled-in eyebrows (she shaved off her real ones) that allowed her to fully express herself with just one glance.
I fell in love with Bow's story and style one night when I watched a double feature of "It" (1927) followed by the fascinating Courtney Love-narrated documentary "Clara Bow: Discovering the It Girl." She embraced the frizzy wild locks on her head, accentuated her best features with wild abandon and wore outfits that I covet now, 80-plus years after they were first made stylish.
I thought, "So that's what an 'it girl' is," a term tossed around so often these day I had never really grasped its meaning until watching Bow on screen. She had "it."
Clara Bow's look is still appealing in the 21st century, though I decided to give it a modernized makeover so that any girl can fake "it."
How I Got The Look
The 21st Century Flapper's Hair
Since Clara rocked a bob, I pulled back the longer layers of my hair and left the short ones hanging down. Using a hot iron, I curled one-inch sections into loose ringlets. Once they cooled, I lightly teased the sides and crown of my hair with a natural-bristle brush, finely misted it with a bit of hairspray, and then popped on a bow-accented headband. I'd wear this on an evening when I was planning some mischief.
The Smoky Silver-Screen Eyes
Unless you want to, I'm not going to make you shave off your eyebrows. Instead, I suggest you do what I did and pencil in the existing shape of your brows to a longer, more curvaceous arch with Cover Girl's Brow & Eye Makers Pencil in Soft Brown.
Then I used Dior's 5-Colour Eyeshadow palette in Night Dust to achieve the Bow look. Using a fluffy eyeshadow brush, I applied the shimmery white shade from crease to browbone, the burnt copper shade to the entire lid, and the black shade was used as a smoked-out eyeliner on both the top and bottom lid, focusing mainly on the outer corners.
I finished up with two coats of Clinique's mega-lengthening Lash Doubling Mascara in Black on my top and bottom lashes for long, flapper-esque lashes.
The Doll-Like Lips And Cheeks
I decided to forgo the heavy lipstick of the era for a lighter version of the doll-lipped look. Concentrating the colour mainly in the centre of my lips, I used two layers of Stila's berry-hued Pomegranate Crush Lip & Cheek Stain. Then I blended a bit of this 2-in-1 product on the apples of my cheeks for a rosy flush.
Once your hair and make-up are finished, watch this scene starring a radiant and resourceful Clara in 1927's "It" for some going-out inspiration. Who knew you could turn a day-dress into an evening gown? Innovative, that gal.

We had an incident today where we had a user with a compromised

to SASL auth to our mail servers and send numerous spam messages from

different hosts (all with the same SASL user authenticated) that they
This got me wondering if there's any easy way to have anvil report
stats based on the authenticated SASL username, in addition to the
remote IP address?
This would help me prevent/monitor potential addresses that are being
used by a botnet system to relay mails through my mail server.
Or even better if there was a way to make a similar feature like the
"smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit" setting that'd

Thoughts? Suggestions?

From Paper to iPad: The Evolution of the Great Cookie Thief
By Susan Tofte
Ed. Note: Susan Tofte is Sesame Workshop's archivist.
How would you update a classic? Take a treasured story from one era and spruce it up for a new century's readers?
Sesame Workshop has produced over 1200 books in a variety of formats since the early 1970s. Part of the philosophy of our publishing group is the willingness to tell stories in whatever formats will attract and reach preschoolers. Animated book apps and e-books are the most recent formats in which Sesame Street characters have come to life. For the Workshop, an eagerness to create books in emerging digital formats is tempered by the need to balance innovation with our mission of education. It is a delicate balancing act, but one that the Workshop's publishing group has pulled off time and time again. Read More

Richard Blane Alley (born 1957) is an American geologist and Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences at Pennsylvania State University.[5] He has authored more than 240 refereed scientific publications about the relationships between Earth's cryosphere and global climate change,[1] and is recognized by the Institute for Scientific Information as a "highly cited researcher."[6][7][8][9]
Alley was educated at Ohio State University and University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he was awarded a PhD in 1987.[10]
Research and Career
In 1999, Alley was invited to testify about climate change by Vice President Al Gore,[11] in 2003 by the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and before the U.S. House Committee on Science and Technology in 2007[12] and again in 2010.[13][14]
Alley's 2007 testimony was due to his role as a lead author of "Chapter 4: Observations: Changes in Snow, Ice and Frozen Ground" for the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has participated in the joint UN/WMO panel since 1992, having been a contributing author to both the second and third IPCC assessment reports.
Alley has written several papers in the journals Nature and Science,[15][16][17][18][19][5] and chaired the National Research Council on Abrupt Climate Change. In 2000, he published the book The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future. He has appeared in numerous climate change-related television documentaries and has given many public presentations and media interviews about the subject.[20] [21][22][23]
Alley gave the Bjerknes lecture to the 2009 American Geophysical Union meeting- "The biggest control knob- Carbon Dioxide in Earth's climate history". A video of the presentation [24] is available (also available on YouTube).
Awards and honors
Alley was awarded the Seligman Crystal in 2005 "for his prodigious contribution to our understanding of the stability of the ice sheets and glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland, and of erosion and sedimentation by this moving ice."[1] Alley is one of several Penn State earth scientists who are contributors to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Prize with Al Gore.
In 2005 he was also the first recipient of the Louis Agassiz Medal for his "outstanding and sustained contribution to glaciology and for his effective communication of important scientific issues in the public policy arena".[25] His award citation stated "He is imaginative, sharp and humorous, and remains a thorn in the backside of the Bush administration."[25]
In 2008 Alley was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2010.[26]
In 2012, he received the Heinz Award.[27]
On 28 April 2014 the National Center for Science Education announced that its first annual Friend of the Planet award had been presented to Alley and Michael E. Mann.[28] He was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in the same year, his nomination reads:
|Richard Alley has made outstanding contributions to the study of ice, its interactions with the landscape and its link to climate. He has made important advances in topics as diverse as grain-scale physics controlling ice deformation, the role and nature of ice streams, and processes at the bed of the ice sheet. His work synthesised the evidence that abrupt climate changes occurred in the past, and drove hypotheses about their cause and the role of ice on ocean circulation. Alley is also an outstanding science communicator, whose skill and enthusiasm has influenced both policymakers and large public audiences.[4]
He had win the 2014 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Climate Change category for his "pioneering research" into the "mechanics of ice and its implications for abrupt climate change," in the words of the jury's citation.
Television series
In addition to his research, Alley has made several appearances on television. On Sunday, April 10, 2011, PBS debuted a special program on climate change, entitled "EARTH: The Operators' Manual",[29] hosted by Alley.[30] The program's aim was to present an objective, accessible assessment of the Earth's problems and possible solutions, with the stated intention of leaving viewers informed, energized and optimistic. The series continues through 2012 on PBS and affiliates. The series is accompanied by a book of the same name, also by Richard Alley.[31] It was published on April 18, 2011. He has also appeared in episodes of the History Channel series Mega Disasters.[citation needed]

Uh Oh. Mike Huckabee Is Talking About Women Again.
Mike Huckabee has some important ideas about how to run against female candidates, which is very different from running against ordinary human people candidates, and he thought he'd share them in an interview with Nora Caplan-Bricker of the New Republic. Male opponents are "common," he explained in an interview published this week. Women, on the other hand, require a "sense of a pedestal." "You treat some things as a special treasure; you treat other things as common," he added, describing women and then men, though neither gender is significantly rarer than the other in nature. Huckabee elaborated, in case Caplan-Bricker couldn't hear him from way up there on her pedestal:
"I'll put it this way," Huckabee says. "I treat my wife very differently than I treat my chums and my pals. I wouldn't worry about calling them on Valentine's Day, opening the door for them, or making sure they were OK."
Valentine's Day must be pretty confusing for Mr. Huckabee—when he stops by the store to buy flowers, how does he remember if they're for his wife or the woman campaigning against him for public office? They're all women, you know, so there's just one blanket way to treat them.
Lest there's any doubt that Huckabee just made a mistake or was misquoted, he reiterated his points in an email to Salon:
"I believe in equality, and I have a record of transforming that belief into action," the ex-governor told Salon in an e-mailed statement. "However, equality doesn't mean sameness."
He went on at length, but notably avoided sharing any details about what these all-important differences actually are when it comes to political campaigning. He just continued to insist, without explanation, that fussing over women in a manner designed to make their gender seem unusual and out of place is a form of respect:
"I was raised to treat women with respect," Huckabee told Salon in his afternoon statement. "I still will invite a lady to go first, will open a door for her, and will place her in the center of the photograph. And yes, I would seek to treat a female opponent with the same respect I give to all women, even though we may disagree on the issues."
Hopefully, Huckabee will soon elaborate on what it is about women specifically that invites respect and why male opponents do not deserve the same courtesies. Here's hoping Huckabee gets into the nitty-gritty about what the specific differences between genders are, and why, in detail, they necessitate a display of "respect" that is indistinguishable from condescension? Also, if he's sticking to his script, I guess he'll invite Hillary to "go first" as president.

Hill breaks four-minute mile
North Carolina State All-American sets school record
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- NC State junior All-American Ryan Hill, broke the longest-standing mark in the Wolfpack record book and became the first runner in school history to break the four-minute mile.
Hill, running in his first indoor meet of the season, easily won the mile run at the Virginia Tech Elite meet, posting a record-breaking time of 3:58.33, to claim his fourth school record. Hill, a two-time ACC champion in the 10,000 meters, had previously set school marks in the indoor 3,000 meters (7:50.78), the outdoor 1,500 meters (3:40.22) and the outdoor 5,000 meters (13:31.67).
Hill's time also broke the Rector Field House record set by Brazil's Hudson Souza in 2001.
Hill, who earned his third All-America award in cross country in the fall, had not competed in any running event since the NCAA Cross Country Championships in November.
"It was a good, strong race," Hill said. "I wanted to set a good pace of 60 seconds per 200 meters and stayed pretty close to that for the entire race. At the halfway point, I was leading and on pace, so I tried to stay steady until the last lap."
Hill looked up to see his split time at 3:30 heading into the final lap so he knew he had to run his fastest lap of the race to break four minutes.
"I just did an all-out kick starting at 200 meters and got in just over 28 seconds," Hill said. "It felt pretty good."
Hill got help from teammate John Wolfe, who was running as an unattached participant. Wolfe set the pace for the first 800 meters and dropped out. The Wolfpack was well represented in the race, with a total of 11 uniformed runners and three unattached participants. Senior Bobby Moldovan and junior Brian Himelright were third and fourth, respectively, behind Hill.
The previous record was held by four-time All-American Jim Wilkins, who ran a 4:00.05 mile in an outdoor race at NC State's Derr Track in the spring of 1973. Hill came within two seconds of that mark at the same event in Blacksburg last year, but couldn't quite eclipse it.
Hill now sets his sights on next weekend's Husky Classic, where he set the school record in the 3,000 meters last season. He's looking to get an NCAA automatic qualifying time off 7:52.50.
In other events on Friday, junior jumper Karimah Shepherd of Chesapeake, Va., won the long jump with a mark of 19-feet, 9-inches for her second win of the season. Freshman Rueben Malone, was fourth in the men's long jump with a mark of 23-feet, 7 ½-inches.
