Also, a 270% expansion in W&T Offshore, Inc. (WTI) witnessed over the past one year opens up opportunity to go after even more gains
KeyCorp (KEY) was also brought into the spotlight with a $0.28 rise. As the regular session came to an end, the price changed by 1.34% to $21.14. The trading of the day started with the price of the stock at $20.98. However, at one point, in the middle of the day, the price touched a high of $21.18 before it finally returned some of the gains.

This company shares tumbled -5.63% from their most recent record high of $22.40 and now hold $22.32 billion in market value of equity.
KEY's mean recommendation on Reuter's scale has been revised downward from 1.92 thirty days ago to 1.88 now. This is an indication of a buy consensus from the analysts' society. They expect that KeyCorp (KEY) price will be reaching a mean target of $23.54 a share. This implies that they believe the stock has what it takes to lift the price another 11.35%. The recent close goes a long way in suggesting that the stock price is being underpriced by a 27.72% compared to the most bullish target.
The company during the last trade was able to reach a volume of 9.32 million shares. That activity is comparable to their recent volume average trend of nearly 8.91 million shares which they recorded over a period of three months. The stock price volatility for last week at the close of regular trading was 2%, pushing the figure for the whole month to now reaching 1.45%. KeyCorp price was kept to a minimum $20.89 in intra-day trade and has returned 4.81% this year alone. At a certain point in the past four quarters, the shares traded as low as $16.28 but made a 29.85% recovery since then.

While scraping the net looking for more netaudio (like we often do here), I came across Anitek, a 24-year-old from New Jersey now living in Switzerland who has accumulated a lot of his own trip/hip-hop instrumental music. I thought about simply doing a review of one of his more recent albums, but then realized it might be more interesting to email him a few questions. His music is sample-heavy but unique. I wanted to know how much of that was created by the artist and how much has been sampled from other sources. Turns out, much of it is Anitek and/or his collaborators, especially on his more recent releases which are arranged quite well. What follows is a short transcript from our email exchange.
[NC] When did you start making music, and more specifically, sample-based trip-hop etc.?
[Anitek] I've been making music more on the trippy side for about 5 years I would say. I am 24 now.
Where do you get most of your inspiration?
A lot of my inspiration comes from complex composers such as Rachmaninoff, and Liszt. As far as downtempo triphop/instrumental hiphop, I would have to say DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Fat Jon, RJD2, and all those early Ninja Tune artists.
You've said you use guitar, piano, drums, percussion, cello, or other instruments to make your own samples. What gear do you use to get from making sounds on these instruments to putting them into a track? What hardware/software do you use?
Also clarinet, trumpet, bass, and koto! I just run the output to input directly into a M-Audio Firewire 410. As far as recording instrumentals with mics, I use 3 dynamic sm57's…pretty simple. I use Logic Pro 9, but…I have a shit load of plugins I use, so I only really use logic to record into. I love effecting sounds so that they are unrecognizable…
I notice you collaborate with other artists in the US from your home in Switzerland. Do you use online tools for that, or just dropbox/email each other ideas or samples?
Well, I am originally from New Jersey. I moved to Switzerland about a year ago….met a Swiss girl, got married out here, and just chillin' on a lake across from the Alps! So anyone I collab'ed with from the US, I always did via internet, except the ones near me. As far as being in Switzerland…We just send eachother sessions back and forth, whilst adding to it more and more to build the tracks. We use Wetransfer.com, because I often can't fit sessions and WAVs in emails… wack!
I came across a YouTube vid of you scratching.
Are you using Traktor Scratch, Serato, or some other software config?
I use Serato when I do the cuts.
What software/hardware do you use to produce your music videos?
I use Final Cut Pro. Sometimes Adobe Premier when Final Cut takes a shit :/
What are you listening to today?
I listen to all kinds of stuff… lots of DJ Krush, lots of old-school hip-hop, and lots of minimalistic acoustic stuff, like Bebel Gilberto, and Koop, and lots of reggae… depends on the mood.
If you could jam / work with any artist, who would it be and why?
If I could jam with any artist….ummm, I'm not sure actually….Probably just someone who is nnnnaaassstyy at drums or bass, or both!
For a recent release by Anitek, and one that I highly recommend, do check out Project Monarch on SoundCloud, along with dozens of his other releases. Be sure to check out some YouTube videos from that album and others as well.

Ca'di Ponti Cataratto
Dry, tropical
Catarratto is one of Sicily's most planted white varieties. This is a deliciously crisp and zesty white. Floral aromas with a hint of almond lead to a palate of peach and tropical fruit with a citrus twist. The texture, gentle acidity and ripe fruit make it a perfectly balanced wine to match a host of foods.

This excerpt from the Democratic presidential candidates' debate held on June 3rd, 2007. The excerpt shows Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's responses after John Edwards has sharply criticized them for not being more outspoken against the war in Iraq on the floor of the Senate.
As you can see here, Hillary Clinton started with a full, social smile, seeking to negate Edwards' attack. Very soon after the smile starts fading. The way the smile turns into a grimace as it fades betrays the extent to which it was not a true smile to begin with.
At the same time, Barack Obama showed some anger and dismissal. Obama turns his head away from Edwards and his lips appear to tighten together in a slight sign of frustration with Edwards' attack.
This excerpt from the Republican presidential candidates debate held on June 5th, 2007. the excerpt shows Rudolph Giuliani's reaction after being read a quote in which a Rhode Island priest has compared Giuliani's position on abortion to Pontius Pilate's personal opposition to the crucifixion Jesus Christ but allowing him to die anyway.
First, note that the normal resting position of Giuliani's mouth is in the form of a disgust reaction with the corners of the mouth turned down (top photo). In the middle of this question, he shows a look of frustration (2nd photo). The 3rd photo shows very intense anger with the lips pressed firmly together while looking down shows signs of sadness. Giuliani finally settles on a smile toward the end of the question (bottom photo).

|Weird InputStream issue on attachments
|Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:52:44 GMT
I have some code that gets an input stream via ektorp from my couchdb repository and hands that input stream off along with the document JSON to a seperate process. This all works fine when we have a single attachment. However when a document has multiple attachments the request for the fourth input stream hangs forever. We are using Ektorp on Android talking to an instance of CouchbaseMobile. If I run the same scenario on my Windows PC, using Ektorp and talking to a "regular" CouchDB instance I do not get this issue. So my thoughts are that it could be: - Ektorp uses a different HTTPClient (AndroidHTTPClient) when running on Android, maybe this is implemented differently? It uses a class, AndroidHTTPResponse.ConnectionReleasingStream, is this class's implementation my issue? - It could be possible that too many AsyncTasks are being spun and somehow waiting on others to complete. - CouchbaseMobile may specify a limit on how many streams may be open at any given time. If theres a open stream limit somewhere, is there a way to increase this? Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

Plans to create a water management district for the Paso Robles groundwater basin have hit a serious, possibly fatal, roadblock.
Top county officials met Wednesday in Sacramento with Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian and state Sen. Bill Monning, the county's two state legislators, and were told that the state Office of Legislative Counsel has raised concerns about the legality of the district's proposed hybrid board of directors, said county Supervisor Frank Mecham, who was at the meeting and whose district includes the bulk of the basin.
"The only thing I came away with is that there are some pretty strong obstacles in front of it," he said. "It appears that this is not going to fly based on the hybrid board that was proposed."
Achadjian, R-San Luis Obispo, confirmed that there are constitutional and legal problems with the bill and he is still deciding how to move forward.
"I am reviewing these concerns with my staff and will work with all interested parties to facilitate a local solution to address the needs of the Paso Robles water basin," he said in a statement. "I will continue to research the facts and will report back to the Board (of Supervisors)."
Equal protection
The problem is the hybrid board of directors that has been proposed, which would have nine directors consisting of three members elected by voters and six members representing landowners with acreages of various sizes.
Specifically, the bill may conflict with the state constitution's equal protection clause, said David Church, executive officer of the county Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) who was also at Wednesday's meeting.
Such clauses ensure that laws and governments treat all persons alike unless there is some substantial reason why certain persons or classes of persons should be treated differently.
"The trend in Sacramento is to move away from boards based on land ownership and toward voter-established boards," Church said.
State law does provide for "off-the-shelf" water districts based strictly on a one-acre, one-vote system that gives large landowners an advantage.
The Legislative Counsel is still analyzing the Paso Robles proposal and is expected to issue a final opinion in one to two months.
Mecham said if Achadjian's bill cannot move forward, he will recommend that LAFCO hold several workshops outlining the various types of water districts that are available. This process may reveal a better option for forming a district, he said.
In February, Achadjian introduced legislation that would modify state water law to allow the formation of a district different from the "off-the-shelf" structure.
The bill was based on a water district structure proposed by two North County water groups interested in forming a district to manage dwindling groundwater levels in the Paso Robles basin.
In recent years, water levels have dropped 2 to 6 feet per year, depending on location, causing wells to go dry for some homeowners and irrigators.
The two groups represent mostly irrigated agriculture and rural residents, respectively. They said the hybrid board was the best option because it would give representation both to residents of the basin and vintners and other irrigation farmers.
In a split vote, the county Board of Supervisors sent a resolution to Achadjian supporting his legislation. Supervisors Caren Ray and Debbie Arnold voted against supporting the bill, while Supervisors Frank Mecham, Adam Hill and Bruce Gibson voted in favor.
On Friday, Achadjian said the two groups proposed a compromise to provide balanced representation among large and small landowners, but the voting structure of the board would face stiff constitutional challenges.
"The chances are that it would fail," he said.
Landowners still "can have a water district by going through the LAFCO process," he said. "But the way the law is, the voting public will have one vote per acre. That means those who own a larger piece of property will have more say about (the district)."
Mecham was the only supervisor at Wednesday's meeting. The other four said Friday that they have heard about the Legislative Counsel's concerns but are not familiar with the details.
"My concern is because the water users in the basin are so varied that an off-
the-shelf district will not adequately address the diversity of the basin users," Ray said.
Arnold said she will be interested to see whether backers of the district will decide to move ahead.
Gibson and Hill say they are waiting for more information about the legislation but still support the idea of forming a water district.
"My take is we need to let the process go forward, get some comments back from those in Sacramento who are analyzing this and figure out what to do next once we hear from them," Gibson said.
Hill said he is disappointed to learn the plan may be in trouble.
"We've been trying to retain as much local control as possible," he said. "It was us trying to honor the hard work of the two stakeholder groups who came up with a compromise for a way to form a water district.
"I understand it's a very complicated issue, and hopefully we'll have more clarity soon."
Monning, D-Carmel, declined to comment on the issue. The Office of Legislative Counsel also declined to comment, saying its communications with legislators are protected by attorney-client confidentiality rules.
Wide disappointment
Backers of the proposed water district also say they are disappointed and are waiting to see what happens next, said Dana Merrill, a North County vintner and member of one of the stakeholder groups, the Paso Robles Agricultural Alliance for Groundwater Solutions, which consists mostly of farmers of irrigated agriculture who co-proposed the legislation.
"This may be a significant hurdle or a brick wall," he said. "But it seems a little premature to declare it dead on arrival. There may be other alternatives to forming the board."
Sue Luft, who heads the other stakeholder group — called PRO Water Equity, consisting mostly of rural residents — that is backing the bill, said she is surprised that a problem has come up with its legality. The bill had already been vetted by many water law attorneys, she said.
"We spent a long time working through all the options," she said. "We wouldn't have gone down this path if we didn't think this was constitutional."
Those in attendance at Wednesday's meeting were Church, Monning, Achadjian, Mecham, county Administrative Officer Dan Buckshi, county Public Works Director Paavo Ogren and various legislative staff members.
"I think the idea of the meeting was to give everybody a heads up that this may not work," Church said.

That women retire with half the superannuation balance of men, on average, is a clear case of imbalance that should be addressed through extra super payments to female employees, argues ANZ.
Australian Bureau of Statistics research released by The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) in 2014, show women retire with nearly half the super balance of men.
In its submission to the Australian Senate's inquiry into women's economic security at retirement (PDF), the bank says federal and/or state legislation should change so it is clear to employers they can legally pay extra super to women.
"There should be clarity and national consistency in Australia's anti-discrimination legislation that expressly allows all employers to make higher superannuation contributions for women (but no more than is required to redress the gender imbalance in this area)," the bank states.
Last year, ANZ announced it would pay its female employees an extra $500 in super a year. This followed a similar step by financial services consultancy Rice Warner which began paying its female staff additional super of 2 per cent of salary in 2013.
"We project that for millennials this policy will result in an additional $61,600 over the course of their career, and for Gen Y, an increase of $26,100. A woman in Gen X can expect an increase of $14,800 by the time she retires," states ANZ in its submission.
Impact of a $500 contribution for females
Source: ANZ's Submission to the Senate inquiry into economic security for women in retirement
Employers, associations want change
Rice Warner, which also submitted recommendations to the Senate inquiry (PDF), is in full agreement with ANZ's position on the need to amend sex discrimination legislation "to ensure employers who voluntarily choose to pay their female employees more superannuation are not in breach of the legislation".
ASFA also backs this view, citing women's life expectancy. The association argues that even if women did have similar amounts of super as men, they would be at a disadvantage as that money has to go further given that on average they live a few years longer.
"To attain equivalent economic security in retirement necessitates a woman entering retirement having a higher superannuation balance than a man retiring at the same age," states the ASFA in its submission to the inquiry (PDF). On this basis "there should be scope for employers who wish to contribute more superannuation for female employees to be able to do so, without being considered to have breached anti-discrimination legislation".
Key to all of this, says ANZ and others, is the need for legislation to change to make it easy and comfortable for employers to pay extra super to women.
To sanction its extra super payments, ANZ used the "special measure" provision in most state anti-discrimination legislation to redress past imbalances. There is no such measure in New South Wales, so there the bank had to apply for a specific exemption.
ANZ recommends changes to national anti-discrimination legislation to "expressly allow" employers to pay higher amounts of super to women, or for employers to apply only once for exemption to anti-discrimination legislation, which would then be recognised nationally.

Why Is Olivia Wilde Suddenly Afraid To Show Her Nipples?
It's a well-known fact in Hollywood that nipples are magic. You can show the whole rest of your boob and everything's fine, but as soon as a hint of the pointy center part shows, you are one of "those" actresses. You know, actresses like Helen Mirren, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman…total C-listers!
Olivia Wilde declined to show her nipples for her role in The Change-Up, instead wearing pasties in her sex scene with Ryan Reynolds. However, when editing the final cut, producers saw that Reynolds hadn't covered Olivia's boobs with his body like he was supposed to, and the pasties were showing. Naturally, they decided to paint some nipples in with CGI, and let Wilde choose which ones.
"I got to approve the nipples!" she told WENN. "They sent me an email saying, 'Please review nipple cover shot one through seven and decide which one is most like the original.' I don't know what he (producer) was using as source material… but I think it's pretty close."
This is amusing, but also sort of strange, considering Wilde showed her nipples in 2006's Alpha Dog. Here she is getting naked with, and subsequently criticizing the penis of, Emile Hirsch (NSFW, duh). She's made it pretty clear she's not shy about her crazy nice body. So why the sudden change of heart?
Maybe The Change-Up couldn't afford the rising cost of Wilde nipple. Maybe she's had a modesty awakening since then that applies only to her nipples. Or maybe she was advised by her agents that if a Hollywood actress wants to be taken seriously, she can't show nip until she's like, about to win an Oscar. You see, actresses like Marisa Tomei and Maggie Gyllenhaal are in no danger of having people think their only value lies in their nips, so they can show them (or not) as much as they please. It simply isn't an issue. A newcomer like Wilde, on the other hand, might be advised to keep them covered until she's more established. Especially if the movie she's in isn't really classy enough to justify it.
Is showing CGI nipples really that different from just showing your real ones? Do these rules make any sense at all? Not really. But for the sake of both Wilde's career and nipple enthusiasts everywhere, I hope she lands a great, complex role in some Oscar-bait magnum opus soon.

Grand Designs Revisits Some Former Houses Starting April 15 On Lifestyle
Fans of the show will be interested in this two part special where , host Peter Maddison, goes back to look at some of the most-talked about building projects from the first season of Grand Designs Australia and asks the question: was it all worth it?
Lifestyle Channel reveals:
The two-part special returns us to the Surry Hills Small House and the Clovelly Modular.
In 2009, Architect Domenic Alvaro and his partner, Sue, bought small and built big in Surry Hills, Sydney. A tiny corner car park measuring just 7 meters x 6 meters was transformed into 220 square metres of luxurious, light-filled living space. Their vertical concrete house with one large room per floor and no wasted space became an ingenious solution to the issue of urban sprawl. But with no lift and 4 floors, we hoped they'd like stairs.
Now, Peter catches up with Sue and Dom and their brand new baby girl, Alessia. The house has since gained global recognition and the grand title of 'World House of the Year 2011'. But what's it been like to live in? Has the novelty of over 47 steps worn off now they've extended the family?
In 2009, Julie and Patrick fast tracked the construction of their super slick, ultra-modern home in the Sydney beachside suburb, Clovelly, thanks to a firm of pre-fab builders in Victoria. Four top end modules built in a Melbourne warehouse were trucked to Sydney in a dramatic convoy, before being craned into place. The challenges (of which there were many) had less to do with the building and more to do with the site. And an ongoing water issue ensured their money was quite literally, going down the drain.
Peter re-visits the couple 3-years on to see how they're enjoying their fabulous high-end house. We learn how they've settled in, whether it's changed their lives and answer the key question: how is the water issue?
Grand Designs – Surry Hills Small House Revisited airs Monday, April 15 at 8.30pm
Grand Designs – Clovelly Modular Revisited airs Monday, April 22 at 8.30pm

I've watched the UK Grand Designs on ABC for a couple of years and I love it. It amuses me, the amount of physical, mental, emotional and financial pain some people are willing to put themselves through. They come out the other end of the experience with a flogging great house, that they then have to maintain and keep clean. I can understand if you're young and starting out I guess, but some of the people aren't.
Grand Designs Australia – why Foxtel and not ABC I wonder?
- 2 nanaliz { 03.28.13 at 12:02 pm }
Georgie, I think Foxtel owns rights to Grand Designs UK and Oz as GD uk is on atm. You might find ABC has bought reruns of previous seasons. I watch it on Saturday night so probably on during week on 106 (austar).
- 3 Georgie { 03.28.13 at 12:15 pm }
Thanks nanaliz, that explains it, I've been watching old UK shows then. Maybe ABC have bought the old Oz shows too and I've just missed them. I'm not very organised with my viewing, unless I'm really hooked on something that is.
- 4 drb123 { 03.28.13 at 12:49 pm }
I'm pretty sure that the ABC has "second run" rights for the UK version in a Channel 4 deal that lets Foxtel run first.
The UK version is unbeatable, but the Australian version is very strong. Peter Maddison is a great presenter who really adds to the show. It is a bit of a rarity as these local remakes don't always work out, just look at Australian Survivor and Top Gear

The UK eps on the ABC are great to watch, even re-runs are good. Some people have sooooo much money to spend though.

Improved Revision Menu Options
This improved production feature allows you to add bold text to your revision sets.
Our EXCLUSIVE Character Development Bundle for Mac also includes:
Mariner Software Persona
Develop your characters and strengthen your story with Persona. Packed with archetypal themes for heroes, heroines, villains and villainesses, you can craft all the characters for your story. Persona is based on an ideology that by categorizing characters into archetypes, you can know their background, which in turn shows their motivations, and then, allows you to predict their behavior. It's the difference between knowing your character and just allowing your character to evolve. To put it more bluntly, it is the difference between deliberately crafting a compelling character and hoping that the character turns out the way you wanted.
Packed inside Persona are 32 archetypal themes - good guys and bad guys. These archetypes are described in detail: personality traits, qualities, flaws, background, occupations, and how they interact with other personalities. Whether your character is a brainiac talking fish or an outcast orphanage owner, Persona helps you explore how each one's unique psychology and background influences their dealings and dialogue.
Mariner Software Contour
At one time or another, every writer has experienced the dreaded, "now what do I write?" rut that brings even seasoned writers to their knees. Kiss those days goodbye.
Follow the Contour system and answer just these 4 questions and you're well on your way to creating a masterpiece: Who is the main character? What is the main character trying to accomplish? Who is trying to stop the main character? What happens if the main character fails?
Contour, the dual-platform, award-winning story development system developed by Emmy Award-nominated Jeffrey Alan Schechter, is designed to take your idea and turn it into a bulletproof outline. Contour teaches you the perfect blend of plot-driven versus character-driven storytelling that blockbuster movies use to create solid stories that hold together from Fade In to Fade Out.
Unlike other story development systems which are either so complicated that you don't know where to start or so lightweight as to wonder, "why in the world did I buy this?", Contour is a must-have for every screenwriter. Using a fill-in-the blanks and intuitive approach, much like a software install wizard, Contour guides you as to what elements need to be part of your story outline – effectively constructing the foundation of your screenplay. In the end, you're never left to wonder, "what comes next?"
Do your stories lack cohesiveness from start to finish? Contour explains the major storytelling secrets needed to craft a highly marketable movie. Your main character's journey is explained through archetypal themes – the same kind of themes used by most of the top 50 movies that have affected millions of viewers – maybe even you!
Tab and Enter Functions
You can install and start using Final Draft in minutes due to the easy-to-use Tab and Enter functionality that formats the script's elements to industry standards.
Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts
If you prefer keyboard shortcuts and macros you're already used to, Final Draft allows you to customize your workflow for your writing needs.
Final Draft Courier Font
Production companies and studios need consistent page counts when they're budgeting a script. Final Draft uses its
own Courier font to ensure identical pagination on Windows,
Macintosh and the iPad.
In addition to the standard templates that are included in the software package, the Final Draft Template Library is updated regularly and allows registered users to download over 100 classic and current television shows, screenplay, stageplay and graphic novel templates.
Format Assistant
This writing tool checks your script for common formatting errors such as missing dialogue, extra spaces, carriage returns and blank elements. You can set it to run every time you print or only when you want it to.
Text to Speech
Have Final Draft read your script back to you – you can even assign different voices to your characters. It's like having a live script reading in your computer.
The Panels System
Like most writers, you probably need to keep a lot of ideas at the front of your mind while you're writing. With the Panels system, you can split your screen into separate panels and view your script pages in one panel while you view another section of the script or your Index Cards
or Scene View in the other panel. A double-click on any scene will keep the panels in sync.
Writing Management
Use the Statistics report to check how much content you've completed in a writing session to help you reach your writing goals. You can also track things such how often Character A interacts with Character B.
Remember Workspace
If you are working with multiple drafts, it is important to make sure you are editing the correct one. With the Workspace preference, you can have Final Draft open all the files you had open in your last session, in the correct order.
Scene View
Scene View gives you a high-altitude look at your script and you can move scenes around to further refine your story. Insert new scenes easily and hide or show information important to you such as the scene's action, title and summary. Assign colors to each scene by any criteria, such as storyline, character, location, time of day and more. Print your scene view or just view it alongside the script. With a double-click you can sync the script to instantly go to any scene you've selected.
Index Cards
Final Draft has double-sided cards that display the script's scene on one side and the summary on the other. The summary view allows you to enter text directly into the index card – plot points, notes, sequence or act markers, comments, locations, blocking – anything you need to build
and organize your story. These notes sync with the Scene Navigator, so any information you add there will automatically appear on the corresponding card. Select and rearrange multiple cards at once if you need to reorder your scenes. Print your index cards directly on 3x5 or 4x6 cards for use in the "traditional" way if you want to visualize and organize scenes outside of the application.
Double-clicking on a card in split-panel view will automatically sync the scene selected with your script page.
Page Count Management
Final Draft offers several ways to manipulate the page count, if necessary: paragraph leading, global line spacing adjustment, global and local indent adjustments and page margin settings.
Navigator Features
Organizing your story has never been easier with the Final Draft 10 Navigator. No longer just a Scene Navigator, the new Navigator also displays ScriptNotes™ and Characters arcs. Run a filtered search by keyword, create ScriptNotes and General Notes or construct a character's arc via
individual Character Beats attached to particular scenes.
Scene Navigator
Manage the pace and flow of your story and keep track of every scene's information with this sortable, customizable floating palette. New in Final Draft 10 is the ability to filter by keyword, allowing you to see important scene details whenever you need them.
ScriptNotes™ Navigator
This updated stand-alone application reads any Final Draft script and enables you to "tag" elements within the script [cast, costumes, props, etc.] and export the results into most scheduling applications. Created with the help of veteran assistant directors, producers, and unit production managers, Tagger means no more going over a paper script again and again with highlighters. It's also great for stage production.
Characters Navigator
Keep track of all of your characters' arcs via individual Character Beats assigned to particular scenes. Non-speaking characters can be added to or deleted from any scene, helping you keep track of everyone even if they have no lines in a certain scene.
Replace Character Names Globally
No longer do you have to "find and replace" to change a character name – Final Draft will globally change a character's name in script elements like dialogue and action and will retain the proper casing. It will also change the name in all metadata, such as SmartType lists and the Navigator.
Character Highlighting
Planning a table read of your screenplay? Character Highlighting will come in handy to easily distinguish all characters' dialogue. It is also a great feature for tracking a character's dialogue to see if they are being too verbose or too shy.
Colored Revised Pages
Final Draft is going green, giving you the ability to distribute your script electronically with the colored revised production pages. When you export to PDF, revised pages are a solid Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, etc. When you're working in an FDX file, the revised page will have the revision set's color on the left and right borders only. Writing in clean white is easy on the eyes but there will be no doubt as to which revision set you're working in.
Watermarking in Printing or PDF
Protect your script by identifying the recipient via a customizable watermark that displays in PDF and on the printed pages.
Standardized Paper Size
Each FDX file maintains its own correct paper size (either A4 or US Letter) no matter where it's opened.
Spell Checking
Checking your work has never been easier – SmartType list words are automatically integrated in the spell-checker that features almost more than 300 new words. Additionally, the thesaurus is now in the context menu, so a right-click will give you alternative words to help make your description as vivid as possible.
Mac Enhancements
Mac users will benefit from the convenience of distraction-free writing in full-screen mode, as well as Retina display compatibility. Additionally, Mac's built-in dictation feature works with Final Draft, allowing for hands-free writing that's as fast as your ideas.
Windows Enhancements
The Final Draft 10 user interface is updated to the new Windows ribbon look with new buttons, backgrounds and menus, but longtime users can have the same experience they've come to love by switching back to Classic mode.
And Much, Much More!

Blue Wall Preserve
Open to the Public
Get Directions
Part of the trail near the ponds on Blue Wall Preserve is collapsing. This section of trail has been flagged. Please use caution when hiking through this area to avoid stepping in holes. We will repair the trail as soon as possible.
Why you should visit: The Nature Conservancy acquired the Blue Wall Preserve in 1997. The Preserve is located in northeast Greenville County and is part of a mosaic of protected parcels that cover approximately 20,000 acres within the Blue Ridge Escarpment of the Southern Appalachians. The Preserve was designated as an Important Bird Area by the Audubon Society; 114 different bird species have been observed on the Preserve. There is a variety of natural plant communities, including: hardwood uplands, Virginia pine succession forest stands, saturated southerm shrublands and open-water lakes. There is also a majestic waterfall along the trails.
The Cherokee called the Blue Ridge Mountains the "Blue Wall." Standing at The Nature Conservancy's Blue Wall Preserve, looking 1400 feet up the Southern Blue Ridge Escarpment to views of Hogback Mountain and surrounding peaks, one can see why. This 575-acre preserve, named for this view, is part of a larger collection of 22,000 acres of conserved land that provide clean drinking water, quiet recreation and protection of ecological diversity in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains. The Southern Blue Ridge Escarpment with its abrupt rise in elevation and abundant rainfall is one of the most ecologically important areas in the eastern US if not the world. The preserve hosts a variety of natural plant communities, including: hardwood uplands, Virginia pine successional forest stands, saturated southern shrublands, cold water streams, majestic waterfalls and open-water ponds. The Preserve was designated as an Important Bird Area by the Audubon Society.
Location: Northeast Greenville County, east of Hogback Mountain
Size: 575 Acres
Birds Observed on the Preserve: Canada Goose, Turkey Vulture, American Crow, Blue-headed Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Broad-winged Hawk, Wood Thursh, Mourning Dove, Brown Thrasher, Chimney Swift, Carolina Wren, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Downy Woodpecker, Carolina Chickadee, Pileated Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Acadian Flycatcher, American Goldfinch, Eastern Phoebe, Northern Parula, Blue Jay, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Scarlet Tanager, Yellow-rumped Warbler, American Redstart, Worm-eating Warbler, Oven bird, Louisiana Waterthrush, Hooded Warbler, Eastern Towhee, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Northern Cardinal, and Red-winged Blackbird.
What the Conservancy is Doing: SCTNC is currently working on eradicating invasive plant species on the Blue Wall Preserve, including Chinese privet, kudzu, multiflora rose, English ivy, Princess tree, and Tree of Heaven. We also maintain a partnership with the Palmetto Conservation Foundation (PCF), which helps us update kiosk information and maintain trails. The PCF has established a part of the Palmetto Trail crossing South Carolina on the Blue Wall Preserve.
Blue Wall Conservation Partnerships
Blue Wall Focus Area: The Blue Wall Preserve is part of a larger collection of 22,000 acres of conserved land. The remainder of the properties, owned by area municipalities, are under conservation easements held in trust by the Nature Conservancy, to insure clean drinking water, quiet recreation and the protection of ecological diversity for the Southern Blue Ridge region.These partners, along with area agencies and organizations, meet several times annually to discuss ways they can cooperate on the stewardship of their respective properties and in the region. Partners include Town of Tryon, City of Landrum, City of Greenville, Spartanburg Water System, Naturaland Trust, and SC Department of Natural Resources.
Blue Wall Passage of the Palmetto Trail: Soon after The Nature Conservancy acquired the Blue Wall Preserve in 1997, a partnership was created with the Palmetto Conservation Foundation to establish part of the statewide Palmetto Trail on the Blue Wall Preserve. Learn more about the Blue Wall Passage of the Palmetto Trail.
Furman Forest Partnership: Realizing the preserve and surrounding conserved lands offered a wonderful opportunity to engage area students in ecological research, the Conservancy is working with neighboring property owners Spartanburg Water Systems, the City of Landrum and the Town of Tryon to provide Furman University students access to partner lands for ongoing research and field based learning activities. Known as the Furman Forest Partnership, Through this partnership, students have not only helped to document plant and animal communities on these properties, they have helped answer questions regarding water quality, impacts of invasive plants on natural communities and how to value ecological services that conserved lands provide to surrounding communities.

Pregnant actress Jamie Lynn Sigler was hit so hard with morning sickness the only thing she could face eating was bagels.
The former The Sopranos star is expecting her first child, a son, in August (13), and she admits her first three months were tough.
She tells People.com, "I got hit pretty hard. It's just what everyone said. It's the first three months. Some people aren't as lucky and have it their whole pregnancy, but it was really hard. I couldn't stay up past 7.30 at night. I was nauseous from the moment I woke up until the moment I went to bed.
"I survived on bagels. It was all I could do. It was rough. You start to feel like you're never going to feel better ever again."
However, Sigler admits she is now enjoying her pregnancy, and her new look.
She adds, "(I can't believe) how big my boobs have gotten! I can't handle how much weight I have in the front area. That surprised me the most for sure."

Oracle PL/SQL Programming, 6th Edition, Now Available!
Oracle PL/SQL Programming, 6th Edition, Now Available!
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: the book that changed my life (and seems to have helped lots of others). Six editions in 20 years....starting with Oracle7 and now covering all PL/SQL topics through Oracle Database 12c Release 1. It's here and it's time to stock up!
It's a bit late in hitting the bookshelves, 12.1 having gone production last Fall. But...well....what can I say? I was so busy writing quizzes for the PL/SQL Challenge and playing with granddaughter, Loey, that time slipped by. My apologies to all those PL/SQL developers who have wondering and waiting - at least I hope you've been waiting, and not buying all the other 12.1 PL/SQL books out there. No, I take that back. I wish nothing but the best for all my fellow PL/SQL authors!
So: this book builds upon the first five editions (keeping almost all content intact, except for the numerous improvements recommended by my able reviewers) by adding detailed information about the new PL/SQL features for 12.1. You can read all about those features below, but first I want to talk about why you should:
Order a Signed Copy of OPP6 From Me
Yes, that's right. You can click right here to order a copy of this hefty (4 lb) reference directly from me ($70 including shipping - list price of book is $69.99; $40 extra to ship internationally). Why would you want to do this? So I can sign it for you, of course!
Sure, you can probably get it for less from Amazon and with free shipping! (read what I think about that here) But I would like to think that you might want to support my granddaughter more than you'd want to put a few more bucks in the pocket of Jeff Bezos (net worth around $27B).
Convinced? I hope so! Click here to place an order.
More PL/SQL-Only Data Types Cross PL/SQL-to-SQL Interface
Prior to 12.1, you could not bind PL/SQL-specific datatypes (for example, an associative array) in a dynamic SQL statement.. Now it is possible to bind values with PL/SQL-only data types in anonymous blocks, PL/SQL function calls in SQL queries, CALL statements, and the TABLE operator in SQL queries.
ACCESSIBLE_BY Clause
You can now include an ACCESSIBLE_BY clause to your package specification, specifying which program units may invoke subprograms in the package. This feature allows you to ?expose? subprograms in helper packages that are intended to be consumed only by specific program units. This feature offers a kind of ?whitelisting? for packages.
Implicit Statement Results
Before Oracle Database 12c, a PL/SQL stored subprogram returned result sets from SQL queries explicitly, through an OUT REF CURSOR parameter or RETURN clause. The client program would then have to bind to those parameters explicitly to receive the result sets. Now, a PL/SQL stored subprogram can return query results to its client implicitly, using the PL/SQL package DBMS_SQL instead of OUT REF CURSOR parameters. This functionality will make it easy to migrate applications that rely on the implicit return of query results from stored subprograms (supported by languages like Transact SQL) from third-party databases to Oracle Database.
BEQUEATH CURRENT_USER Views
Before Oracle Database 12c, a view always behaved like a definer rights unit (AUTHID DEFINER), even if it was referenced inside an invoker rights unit (AUTHID CURRENT_USER). Now, a view can be either BEQUEATH DEFINER (the default), which behaves like a definer rights unit, or BEQUEATH CURRENT_USER, which behaves somewhat like an invoker?s rights unit.
Grant Roles to
Program Units
Prior to Oracle Database 12c, an invoker rights unit always ran with the privileges of its invoker. If its invoker had higher privileges than its owner, then the invoker rights unit might perform operations unintended by, or forbidden to, its owner.
As of 12.1, you can grant roles to individual PL/SQL packages and standalone subprograms. Instead of a
definer rights unit, you can create an invoker rights unit and then grant roles to it. The invoker rights unit then runs with the privileges of both the invoker and the roles, but without any additional privileges possessed by the definer'sschema.
An invoker rights unit can now run with the privileges of its invoker only if its owner has either the INHERIT PRIVILEGES privilege on the
invoker or the INHERIT ANY PRIVILEGES privilege. Note: the INHERIT PRIVILEGES is granted to all schemas on install/upgrade.
New Conditional Compilation Directives
In 12.1, Oracle has added two new predefined inquiry directives, $$PLSQL_UNIT_OWNER and $$PLSQL_UNIT_TYPE, which return the owner and type of the current PL/SQL program unit.
Optimizing Function Execution in SQL
Oracle now offers two ways of improving PL/SQL function performance in SQL statements: you can actually define the function itself inside the SQL statement using the WITH clause, and you can add the UDF pragma to the program unit, which tells the compiler that the function will be used primarily in SQL statements.
Using %ROWTYPE with Invisible Columns
Oracle Database 12c makes it possible to define invisible columns. From within PL/SQL, the %ROWTYPE attribute is aware of these types of columns and how to work with them.
FETCH FIRST Clause and BULK COLLECT
In 12.1, use the optional FETCH FIRST clause to limit the number of rows that a query returns, significantly reducing the SQL complexity of common ?Top-N? queries. FETCH FIRST will be of most benefit in the simplification of migration from third-party databases to Oracle Database. This clause can also, however, improve the performance of some SELECT BULK COLLECT INTO statements.
The UTL_CALLSTACK Package
Prior to 12.1, the DBMS_UTILITY package offered three functions (FORMAT_CALL_STACK, FORMAT_ERROR_STACK, and FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE) to provide information about the execution call stack, error stack and error backtrace, respectively. Now in 12.1, a single package, UTL_CALLSTACK, provides that same information, plus much more ?fine-grained? access to the contents of these formatted strings.
You can, of course, check out these features yourself, by downloading the software or you can simply start with perusing the documentation set. I have also been publishing articles in Oracle Magazine on these features. Finally, I also encourage to visit Oracle-BASE , a wonderfully useful website from Tim Hall, which already contains a large number of in-depth articles on 12.1 features, PL/SQL and SQL.

Approved by the Senate by a vote of 59 to 35, the disaster relief package appears to have run into problems with some House members of the conference committee voicing resistance to plan authored by Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.
Staff members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees worked over the weekend, and a compromise seemed to be in the making. However, by Monday afternoon one staffer summed up the situation saying, "I thought we were making progress this past weekend, but now we're back to square one. We have not come to an agreement."
Now it's up to the conferees working on the Senate Omnibus Appropriations bill to resolve the issue of whether to go with the Sen. Cochran's disaster relief language, or not. The evening meeting, a Senate Agriculture Committee spokesman says, is not the only hope for agriculture disaster aid, but it is at least the primary hope right now.
"The two sides need to come to a compromise," the spokesman says. "The House and Senate Conferees will have to decide the agriculture disaster issue at the meeting tonight. The plan is still for the 2003 omnibus appropriations bill to be concluded and voted on the House floor by Wednesday or Thursday of this week, and on the Senate floor the following day."
Essentially, the crux of disaster aid approval by a House-Senate conference comes down to two issues – targeting and timing. Conference members agree that any aid should be targeted to those people that need it, and the money needs to get in producers' hands as quickly as possible.
Those two factors are working against each other to an extent. If you get down to certain level of certainty that you are only getting those producers whom had a documented loss, it takes more proof and more time to distribute the aid where it is most needed.
According to Conference sources, House members continue to have concerns about which producers receive assistance. "The Senate Agriculture Committee staff believes they have made progress toward a compromise. It's fair to say the House Agriculture Committee staff does not feel the same," a Senate Agriculture Committee spokesman says.
The Senate-passed Cochran plan would deliver disaster relief to producers in counties with a 2001 or 2002 disaster designation, and in neighboring counties with losses of at least 35 percent in either year. Delivery of disaster aid would be based on 42 percent of the producer's direct payment under the 2002 Farm Bill.
The 42 percent formula is similar to historic disaster programs that pay on 65 percent of production at 65 percent of market price, because 65 percent of 65 percent equals 42 percent.
Producers who have not yet enrolled under the 2002 farm bill would receive preliminary payments based on the number of acres in their current enrollment, with the balance of the payment based on their 2002 farm bill acres, according to the legislation.

There are many types of community service that kids can do, including delivering gifts to children's hospitals, collecting and donating items to animal shelters and spending time with senior citizens. Kids can also spend time with patients in nursing homes or hospices.Continue Reading
Spending time with senior citizens can make their days less lonely and can also provide educational experiences for children. Children can visit an assisted living facility and talk with residents while playing a game of cards or a board game.
Paper towels and pet food are often on animal organizations' wish lists and are items kids can collect and donate to a shelter. Fundraising activities, such as a walkathon or bowling contest, let kids support causes like animal awareness and homelessness.Learn more about Business & Finance

Exclusive The Sessions Clip: John Hawkes and William H. Macy Talk About Sex
Both men may be Oscar-nominated this year.
Ben Lewin's really quite lovely dramedy The Sessions opens next month in theaters (where it should prove to be a significant awards season contender), but ahead of that, it's got one more festival stopover in Toronto this week, and Vulture's got an exclusive clip to boot. The Sessions stars John Hawkes in this true-life tale about a handicapped man who's determined to hire a "sex surrogate" (played by Helen Hunt) to finally relieve him of his virginity ... but what exactly is a sex surrogate, and how is that different than a prostitute? That's what William H. Macy wants to know, at least; he plays a priest that Hawkes confides in, and for a man of the cloth, Macy's awfully sympathetic to this truly unusual predicament. Enjoy, and stay tuned for more on the movie as we near its October release date.

Ha Ji Won was criticized for having no talent as a rookie
On October 26th, a popular entertainment program on SBS got to sit down with actress Ha Ji Won for an interview. Considering her A-list status now, they asked if she was ever criticized during her rookie days.
"People told me that I had no talent, that I had no social skills, and that they didn't like to associate themselves with me," she admitted.
"Celebrities have informal social events quite often, but I was so reserved that they thought I was lame. When I heard things like that, I doubted myself as a celebrity."

A functional furnace in San Antonio has a lot of benefits.If you have been wondering why there are many contractors that offer these services in this city, it is because they know that their customers need furnaces that are at their optimal performance. Likewise, those who understand its importance often look for a repair contractor any time they notice anything unusual with their furnaces. So what are the advantages of repairing these appliances? Indeed, the benefits are almost endless. Let us look at some of the most significant advantages of San Antonio furnace repair services.
Your own safety
It is a big risk to continue using a furnace that is faulty. If you research around, you will find out that there are people who have suffered huge losses because of this. Neglecting these appliances can lead to fires. If a few cables are faulty, they could cause sparks that will lead to huge house fires. The worst situation is when the fore brings down the entire house including your valuables, yet it could have been prevented through a simple repair process. It could also cause injury or even death to those that use the house. Instead of letting things get to such extremes, you can simply contract
a repair man and let them work on the fault before it gets any worse.
Reduced energy consumption
San Antonio furnace repair services can also help you to minimize energy consumption. There is a lot of energy that is lost when systems are faulty. For instance, you will notice that a furnace that has slight faults takes too long to get to the temperatures that you need. In such a situation, you will end up spending a lot of money on your monthly bills. If you call in the repair man, you will end up saving the money and using it for other expenditure.
Better performance
Don't you just like it when your furnace performs better? Everyonewants it to heat up fast, get to the required temperatures, and keep the house warm for longer. Unfortunately, this is no possible to achieve when you have a faulty furnace. Instead of that, you will end up with lots of disappointments. The work of a repair contractor is to get rid of the things that hinder performance so that the furnace becomes better. After they are done with it, it will seem like you have just installed a new furnace in your home, even though you have been using it for years.
To get the best San Antonio furnace repair services, you have to select the right company. Do not just pick any of the contractors without knowing what they are capable of. Make sure that they have the right tools for this job because it is not one to be taken lightly. If you are unsure of who to hire, you may seek the opinion of those who have already repaired their furnaces just to find out if they got the kinds of services that they really wanted.

Casa de Colores Montessori
Why Casa de Colores
Our Philosophy
Here at Casa De Colores, we believe in small classroom sizes. This is to ensure that each of our students get the attention they deserve. It also helps facilitate a constant learning environment by allowing the children to work at their own pace and have the freedom of movement. We have an open floor plan which allows the older students teach the younger ones lessons, and allow the children who are more advanced, work in the section that will increase their brain development.
We have multiple enrichment programs to facilitate our multi-language program. We have materials in both english and spanish allowing our children to become familiar with both languages. We also have a sign-language teacher who comes in once a week to work the with children. We have many more language teachers who come to teach as well, some of which include; French, Japanese, Arabic, and many more! All of our teachers who work with our children are Montessori certified, or specially trained.
We host two potlucks a year where as a class we study a continent and each child chooses a country that he/she wishes to study. The students create a flag, a product of that country, and write a report about some of the culture and historyas well as bring a dish from their country. It is a great opporutnity for the parents to meet one another and discover what we are learning in the classroom.
Each year we host a science day where the parents are invited to come and see the children present their science experiments. Each child does a science exeriment despite their age; we have everything from sink and float, to the classic volcano, to the molecular model.
Every morning our students listen to various composers based on the time period such as baroque, romantic, etc. They learn about how that composer's musical life started and where their career blossomed. This is because, musical experiences engage children's senses and support child-centered learning. Music is present throughout the classroom environment. Through cultural studies in geography, children learn about music around the world. Musical experiences also provide children with opportunities for collaboration and communication.

The Morning Cup of Jo
You know what happens when you assume!
Yesterday morning Toddo and I were talking about the CRB Index and what it looks like technically. Since we've been so busy over the last couple of days with the movements in the equity markets, I felt this might be an opportune time to switch gears and take a look at the commodity market and the dollar.
The ST graph of the CRB Index is currently showing a little dandruff. I believe a neckline break could drop the index down to its 200 DMA (the black line just below 260).
Looking a little further out, there is another longer-term possibility. It is plausible the CRB Index could retest the topside of the uber LT downward trend break and double bottom with handle pattern.
Coincidently, on Monday the Dollar broke above its recent consolidation and 200 DMA. At the moment it looks as if the next resistance point (Floors & Ceilings)will be around 94-95. There is a gap back on September 19th of last year (which you can't see on this line graph) it could make a run at.
All of this leads me to the final graph. I was recently asked a question about the relation between the Dollar and CRB index and if they always act inversely. No, that's not the case. I have found 3 instances, over the last 18-years, for where for a period of time they acted in unison. Therefore, don't assume just because the dollar is increasing, the CRB index will decrease, even though it does play a role.
Until next time...
