The tide seemed to turn in an instant. After six months of fighting and thousands of NATO air sorties, the Libyan civil war rapidly reached its endgame late last month, as internationally-backed rebel fighters stormed Tripoli.
Mostly, it was a victory for the Libyan people, who have long suffered under Muammar Gaddafi's dictatorial rule. But the fall of Tripoli was also an apparent success for a new US military strategy, one gaining favour as the bloody, expensive land wars in Iraq and Afghanistan slowly wind down.
It's called 'offshore balancing,' and it's an approach meant to minimize long-term deployments of large ground armies by emphasizing air and naval forces working in conjunction with local and regional 'proxy' armies. In coming years, offshore balancing could guide the United States' interventions in world crises, particularly in the Asia-Pacific.Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access.

Any US president thinking of fighting another land war in Asia should 'have his head examined,' former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said in February. In 2009, Vice President Joe Biden famously proposed quickly off-shoring the Afghanistan war, a notion Barack Obama rejected in favour of a slowly-shrinking major ground presence through 2014, with a likely shift to offshore balancing after that date.
'The Libyan intervention, which involves only air and naval assets and no ground forces, is an excellent example of offshore balancing,' wrote Lawrence Korb, a veteran analyst with the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C. But there's an even better example, one that could either reinforce support for offshore balancing or doom the concept – and at the very least serves as an important test case.
The complex US-led intervention in Somalia, a decade in the making, represents offshore balancing at its most potent and urgent. The Libyan rebellion was outside the United States' core interests. For Washington, intervening in Libya was optional. But Somalia, a failed state since 1991 and an al-Qaeda safe haven, represents a direct threat to the United States, and indeed has inspired the first American suicide bombers.
If offshore balancing, with its emphasis on air and sea power and proxy armies, is to define the US strategic approach to Asia and the Pacific, it first must succeed in Somalia.
For advocates of the strategy, there are reasons for hope. US offshore balancing in Somalia came together gradually, almost by accident, as separate interventions chased the converging problems of famine, terrorism and piracy. Today, this increasingly unified US effort seems to finally be bearing fruit, as American-supported foreign armies rapidly gain ground against al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamist fighters.
However, sceptics too might find ammunition in the United States' Somalia strategy. For while current US efforts in Somalia have managed to avoid a major ground-force deployment – and indeed have been essentially bloodless for Washington – they have at the same time failed to bring a speedy end to the country's crises. The recent territory gains are encouraging but hardly decisive – and certainly reversible.
Moreover, there have been some worrying unintended consequences of the United States' heavy reliance on proxy armies in Somalia. Namely, these foreign allies sometimes hijack well-intentioned US efforts, redirecting them for their own purposes.
In that sense, Somalia highlights both the benefits of offshore balancing, and the risks. On the one hand, Washington can intervene without sacrificing American lives. On the other, these interventions can be messy – and can last at least as long, if not longer, than the major ground wars that have made offshore balancing appear so appealing in the first place.
A Brief History of a Long War
Somalia's current troubles began in 1991, with the overthrow of autocratic president Siad Barre by clan-based rebel groups. A deadly famine struck in the wake of the revolt. Clan warlords began hoarding aid shipments, essentially using food and other supplies as a weapon.
That led Washington to launch a military-led humanitarian intervention alongside a large UN peacekeeping force. The US and UN deployment peaked at around 28,000 people in 1992. It was an intervention that, in design, was essentially the opposite of offshore balancing.
Though it succeeded in breaking the warlords' hold on aid distribution, this boots-on-the-ground approach culminated in disaster when 19 US and UN troops and as many as 1,000 Somalis died in two days of fighting in Mogadishu in October 1993. The Battle of Mogadishu is the subject of the book and movie Black Hawk Down.

Evangelical organizations that partner with Uncle Sam to deliver humanitarian aid overseas are voicing concern and outrage over a new federal policy that "strongly encourages" all contractors to develop anti-discrimination policies covering employees' sexual orientation.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) issued the policy statement—which has received little publicity—in October, a week after the Supreme Court let stand an appellate court ruling that favored World Vision's faith-based hiring policies.
The high court left in place an August 2010 decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals against three former employees fired after World Vision concluded that they did not believe that Jesus Christ is fully God.
All World Vision U.S. employees must sign a statement of faith and agree to a standard of conduct that limits sexuality to "a God-ordained covenant between a man and a woman," said senior vice president Kent Hill. "For a government agency to 'strongly encourage' us to abandon such core beliefs in our hiring policies is offensive and uncalled for," he said. Last year the 1,200-employee charity received nearly $200 million in government grants—19 percent of its total budget.
In December, President Barack Obama elevated the rights and treatment of LGBT people abroad as a priority in U.S. foreign policy. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared in a Geneva speech that "gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights."
That emphasis, combined with the new USAID policy, has caught the attention of faith-based organizations that believe their religious liberty could be challenged, said Stanley Carlson-Thies, president of the Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance. "When ...1

I thought I would post some info on some of the work that has gone into making the quadruped robot "PEDRO" walk in Microsoft Robotics Studio simulation environment.
Here's a video which briefly shows the latest hardware progress before moving on to demonstrations of some elements of the control software. The robot hardware and onboard firmware is now basically ready - though as you can see in the video I'm only up to manually moving one joint at a time until some more PC end software is written.
The control software is written in C# and implemented as robotics studio services. Using Microsoft Robotics Studio has allowed the control software to be tested out on a simulated robot before being let loose on the real nuts and bolts hardware. It is amazing how often a simple software bug seemed to make the simulated robot do complicated yoga poses that I'm sure would have led to stripped gears on the real bot...
The most important element of the control software is the inverse kinematics routines. These take a foot position vector relative to the robot body and work out the necessary joint angles to put the foot into that position. Once this important function is in place, you can then make a leg step simply by moving the foot position through the desired curve, and the leg joint angles are all taken care of by the inverse kinematics.
After the inverse kinematics was working well, the next step was simply adding some other ways to set the foot positions by setting a body movement relative to the ground. Although this sounds complicated, to move the body forward relative to the ground, for example, all you have to do is adjust all the feet position vectors backwards a bit, and again, the inverse kinematics takes care of the rest. Body rotation is handled much the same way; a method is provided to rotate the body which actually rotates the four feet position vectors (or however many feet are actually on the ground at the time) around the body centre.
The actual stepping motion is created by choosing a target for the foot position using the current movement direction and current desired body rotation. The path the foot follows during the step is an elliptical one so that the foot moves almost directly straight up off the ground at the onset of the step motion and similarly comes down at footfall almost vertically. This should help in clearing obstacles (or carpet etc.). Once the target foot position is chosen and the step is started, the software updates the foot position and servo rotation speed using the calculated path every iteration. Meanwhile the other three non-stepping legs are being moved by the body motion functions - ie. every iteration the body stance is shifted in the desired movement direction.
Another important component of the control software is the methods I have added for calculating the robot's current centre of mass. This is calculated using the known current position of all the joints and the mass of each segment. It is important to know the centre of mass in static walking so that stability can be maintained by shifting the body pose before a foot is lifted off the ground. For example if a particular foot is selected as the next to step, then the body centre of mass should be compared with a triangle formed by the other feet. If the centre of mass falls vertically within the triangle, then the robot will be stable with that foot lifted off the ground. If not, then the body stance can be shifted before the step is started so that the centre of mass falls within the stability triangle.
The step order is most critical for stable walking, and I found that for forward motion, stepping the rear then front leg on one side followed by the rear then front leg on the other side resulted in the best stability. Currently PEDRO's walking algorithm adapts this basic pattern for whichever quadrant the desired direction of travel falls in. For example if the desired direction is pretty much side stepping to the right, then the best foot step order will be front left, then front right, then rear left then rear right. I have also worked in the desired rotation into the algorithm which picks the next foot to step, and if the desired rotation is more dominant than the translation movement, then the best order for rotation takes over which is stepping around the clock ie. if rotating clockwise, then step front left, front right, rear right, rear left.
This method is working quite well in practice, however I would like to replace it with something a little less scripted. I did try choosing the next foot to step based on which foot could possibly step the furthest in the desired direction, however this wasn't particular successful. I won't do any further work on this right now however, because it will be far more exciting to test out the walking algorithms as they are with the real robot, and this is hopefully not too far off. I have to finish the software service which communicates with the robot using tcp/ip, passing on the joint movement messages to the onboard controller. With a bit of luck the real robot will walk just as successfully as the simulated one, but I'm tipping there will be problems to solve...

HANG TIME, Texas — The win over the defending champion Heat in the first week of December was an eye opener. Taking down the Thunder in the first week of January was no less impressive.
But if the goal of the Wizards is to provide more than a once-a-month shock to the NBA system, then the season begins tonight.
Point guard John Wall will make his season debut tonight against the Hawks after missing three months due to a stress injury in his left patella. While nobody is expecting to see the player that averaged 16.3 points. 8.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds in his first two seasons, just having the former No. 1 draft pick on the court is finally a lift for the club that is again foundering at the bottom with a 5-28 record, the worst in the league.
Wall is trying to keep a lid on expectations, as he told Michael Lee of the Washington Post:
"I figure the first couple games probably won't be the best games," Wall said after practicing for the third consecutive day without complications from his left knee.
"Just go out there and play my game," he said. "Don't do too much. I know that's the main thing I've got to do for my first game back. Just let the game come to me and just try to help my team out."
Wall also doesn't expect to have a difficult adjustment to playing alongside several new teammates after sitting next to the Wizards coaching staff for nearly every game and observing their tendencies. His teammates have already marveled as his speed and decision-making, which has been sorely missed for a team has started five different point guards this season – A.J. Price, Shaun Livingston, Jordan Crawford, Shelvin Mack and Garrett Temple.
When asked if he felt any external or internal pressures with coming back, Wall quickly responded, "No pressure at all."
The biggest challenge for him, Wall said, will be "getting my legs underneath me but just working the offense, being the point guard, finding my teammates and knowing guys' sweet spots is pretty easy to me."
Without Wall to run the show, the Wizards have been virtually clueless all season, unable to attack defenses and score. In one more season when Washington made significant changes to the lineup — Emeka Okafor, Trevor Ariza, rookie Bradley Beal — they have clearly lacked a leader to pull it all together.
While the medical staff will have Wall operating under a limit on playing minutes as he works his way back into game shape, Wizards coach Randy Wittman says there will be no limits to what he asks of his franchise player in terms of leading his team.
"John is going to have the ball in his hands a lot," Wittman said. "I don't want to take any pressure off him. He hasn't gotten any pressure yet this year. I want him to feel some pressure. John likes pressure."
Of course, Wittman can only hope that Wall will relieve any pressure on his own situation, which has to be in the crosshairs of a season when Mike Brown, Avery Johnson and Scott Skiles have already been relieved of their head coaching jobs.
If there has been a reason that Wittman has been spared the same fate, it's because he's been coaching with one hand tied behind his back without Wall. Now that the Wizards' main man is back in the lineup, the heat is on and the clock is ticking.

This is a small area in the Chelsea Garden.
By now many of you may have already guessed whose garden we have been walking through.
There is a darling little cottage on the property and I took a picture of my hubby standing in front of it. It was raining at the time so he kept dry under an umbrella on loan from our hostess.
Another view of the cottage after the rain.
Beside the cottage is a wonderful little nook where one can lie back and read a book and just spend some quiet time. This was one of my favourite spots.
Behind the cottage is a garden swing with pretty fireweed in the background.
Are you ready to go inside the cottage? The sign above the door bids you Welcome....
Just inside and to your left is a cozy sitting area.
One of the first things we noticed was this darling doll house. Behind it is a big window which looks out into the little reading nook I showed you.
A china cabinet is built into the corner. Love the china!
The sun was streaming through the windows by this time and bathed the whole interior with a lovely etheral light.
I love this photo!
Vignettes of china, comfy chairs, and a beautiful bed make this little cottage so inviting! So charming in fact that I could move right in!
A tea tray is set on the bed to enjoy at your leisure.
There are so many more pictures I could share with you but I must bring our tour to a close.
Have you guessed whose beautiful home and gardens this belongs to?
It is the home and gardens of our blogger friend Carolyn of Aiken House and Gardens. Thank you Carolyn for sharing your lovely home and gardens with us all. We are blessed by the beauty you share with us day after day.
If you are ever able to visit our beautiful Island, I hope you will have a chance to visit this pretty spot tucked away from the rest of the world. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Sharing from my heart~ Sandi

The term "rich media" is used to describe a wide array of digital interactive media, which can be downloaded or embedded into a web page. If the content can be downloaded, it can also be utilized offline with various media players, such as Microsoft Media Player, Real Networks' RealPlayer, and Apple's QuickTime, among others.
The single most defining characteristic of rich media content is its dynamic motion, which can either occur over time or as a direct result of user interaction. Examples of this "dynamic motion" include streaming newscasts, which occur over time, and webcasts that include a synchronized slide show, which require user interaction.
Obviously, rich media content is also increasingly associated with handheld devices. Understanding how to utilize BlackBerry's rich media content features will enable developers to create interactive themes, mobile web sites, graphics, splash screens, and other animated content that can be optimized for specific use on BlackBerry devices.
Now that we've got the specifics of rich media covered, we can discuss what exactly BlackBerry offers its developers in terms of rich media capabilities. Developers will surely be glad to hear that it's a lot.
BlackBerry's Plazmic Content Developer's Kit
The Plazmic Content Developer's Kit is a free suite of graphics design tools offered by BlackBerry. These tools enable both designers and developers to create mobile web sites, interactive themes, splash screens, and graphics, among other content. Even more impressive, the suite of tools also assists developers in creating custom themes and multimedia content.
BlackBerry's kit also includes utilities that assist in the conversion of various file formats into a format that can be optimized for delivery and use on handheld devices. BlackBerry's smartphone simulator also comes into play here, as it allows developers to test and debug their themes, animations, graphics, and other rich media content before they distribute these apps to other devices.
The Plazmic Content Kit includes a theme builder, which enables developers to design custom BlackBerry themes; it also comes equipped with a composer, which is an illustration and animation tool used for designing SVG content. Let's discuss some of the specifics concerning these two very important features, which give developers the opportunity to create cutting edge, unique rich media content for their BlackBerry apps.
{mospagebreak title=Theme Builder}
The Plazmic theme builder allows developers to customize elements on a BlackBerry device's user interface, such as the banners, home screen icons, backgrounds, indicators, and the fonts and colors for lists and menus, among other things. The theme builder comes equipped with a number of catalogs that are put in place to assist in the organization of project resources, such as images and colors that developers may want to utilize later. Catalogs also include sample resources that can be reused.
Ideally, a BlackBerry developer should be using BlackBerry's smartphone simulator anyway, as it helps test and debug applications before they get distributed. The simulator is also particularly useful as it pertains to the Plazmic kit's theme builder, however, because it enables developers to test new themes on the desktop before they are distributed to a BlackBerry device.
The Plazmic theme builder also comes equipped with a workspace, which includes a viewing area that showcases how the developer's theme appears on a selected BlackBerry device. The workspace also includes buttons that enable the developer to design each customizable element and area, such as the banners, home screen, and global user interface elements. And last, but not least, the workspace also includes tools that can be used to arrange and resize any elements on a BlackBerry screen.
Creating rich media content for BlackBerry apps has obviously become a whole lot easier thanks to BlackBerry's Plazmic Content Developers Kit. Aside from the benefits already discussed, the theme builder also allows developers to:
Design and develop completely unique user interfaces, home screens, backgrounds, banner icons, buttons, wallpaper, and fonts.
Customize banners, with the ability to design full-screen banners while hiding individual banner items. Developers can now also resize, reposition, and redesign banner icons for their custom themes.
Customize backgrounds for each phone screen and home screen.
Customize the home and lock screen with animation utilizing SVG files.
Save commonly used colors and images for re-use with the theme builder catalog.
Include multiple web links in themes and provide links to web pages from the app screen.
Customize the cursor navigation path by creating rules for the cursor navigation.
Test themes for a device type before distributing apps to actual devices with the use of the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator.
{mospagebreak title=The Composer}
Essentially, the Plazmic composer is a graphic design tool that developers can use to create animated content, such as web graphics, app splash screens, and customized theme icons — all of which of course are made specifically for BlackBerry handheld devices. This feature also enables developers to create content that utilizes rich content animation and sound, and even to make amazing interactive content, such as triggers, which start apps, hyperlinks, and object rollovers. This content can then be used to create fully customized screens that contain rich media content, which can also be adapted as web content in BlackBerry's browser.
It should also be pointed out that the Plazmic composer can be used to customize lock and home screen themes using rich multimedia content.
Similar to the theme builder, the composer also has a workspace, which offers a view window to be used while manipulating content. The workspace also features a catalog for project resources, a tool box for drawing tasks, an animation editor for animating content, and windows for both working with and viewing layers and objects.
Much like the kit's theme builder, the composer also has many benefits to offer developers looking to utilize rich media content in their apps. Some of these include:
The ability to develop content using animation and vector graphics. This content can also be used with themes you develop in Plazmic's theme builder.
The ability to import .swf files into the composer for use in animated screens.
The ability to start apps using theme buttons featured in the composer.
The ability to test dynamic content for specific device types before distributing the content to other devices.
Incorporating rich media content into your apps and design will not only make you a better, more well-rounded developer, but it will also engage your users in a new and positive way. As you can see, BlackBerry has made it easier than ever to utilize rich media; now it's just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the Plazmic Content Developer's Kit and all it has to offer.

Officials from the local chapter of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps promoted the group at last week's meeting of the Take Back Your Neighborhood civic association.
The USNSCC's San Antonio Division is located at the Naval Support Activity base at Oxford and Robbins avenues in Lawndale. It is named in honor of the San Antonio, a ship that has served as the base for Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts and anti-piracy forces off Somalia.
The group was chartered by Congress in 1958 to provide American youths with a drug- and alcohol-free environment for hands-on training in various specialties, with the goals of helping them mature and improving their leadership abilities.
Girls and boys age 11–17 are invited to join. They meet the second weekend of the month from 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
The youths take part in drills, trips, parades and special events. They will travel to Norfolk, Va. from May 1–5, boarding ships and taking part in sailor training.
Attending the meeting were Lt. Joan Larkin, the division's commanding officer, and Jay Meisner, the executive officer.
Larkin said the division has "zero tolerance" for drugs, crime or hazing.
More information is available by calling 267–261–5679 or visiting sanantoniodiv.org
In other news from the April 15 meeting:
• Dianne Murphy, the community relations officer in the 2nd Police District, encouraged people to sign up for Operation I.D.
Participants can supply Murphy with their driver's license number, and she will send them stickers to place on valuable property. If the property is stolen, it can be identified by the stickers that contain the owner's driver's license number. Murphy can be reached at 215–685–7276.
The officer also reminded residents about the following curfew hours: 13-and-under (8 p.m. during the school year, 9 p.m. in the summer); ages 14–15 (9 p.m. school year, 10 p.m. summer); and 16–17 (10 p.m. school year, 11 p.m. summer).
• Max Myers Playground, at 1601 Hellerman St., offers monthly flower-arranging classes. The next class is May 10, at 7 p.m. The cost is $5. Participants are asked to bring a mug and scissors. To reserve a spot, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 215–685–1242.
• Max Myers offers Zumba fitness classes every Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
To register, email Jessica Chambliss at email@example.com or call the playground at 215–685–1242.
• Take Back Your Neighborhood will meet again on Monday, May 20, at 7 p.m. at Max Myers Playground. ••

Take a look at this video from Google. It shows how a mother and her baby interact using Google Glass.
The baby looks terrified of the futuristic glasses at several points throughout the video. The mom also looks ridiculous wearing Glass as she runs her errands.
We hope that Google puts some serious work into this project before they bring this wearable tech to the consumer market.
You'll remember that last week the search giant gave an extreme demonstration of Google Glass and while we were impressed we still aren't sure how Glass fits into everyday life.

Technologies on the Rise: Cube Calibration
Over the past decade we've seen a steady rise in the availability of calibration controls inside of consumer displays. Once uncommon, you now expect to see at least a grayscale control, multiple color temperatures, and often gamma adjustments and a full color management system. This has enabled us to coax better images from our displays than ever before, but they all are subject to inherent limitations. We only calibration to six different color points (the primary and secondary colors), and often displays lack the proper bit depth, or even the correct formulas, to do the calculations to get colors correct.
This year we have seen the emergence of Cube Calibration technology being available to the consumer. Lumagen has added a 5 sided cube with 125 points (5^3) of data to their Radiance video processors, and SpectraCal has released their ColorBox that allows for up to 17 points per side for up to 262,000 points of data. Instead of only measuring those 6 points, a color cube measures multiple levels of intensity and saturation for each color, building a far more accurate table of values to understand how a display performs and correct for its behavior. Where we have been happy to see dE values on a display below 3 after calibration, after a cube calibration we are unhappy if they are above 1.0 at all.
Achieving this calibration requires software that can automate the process, but popular consumer packages like CalMAN and ChromaPure have added support for these features. In a single evening, with the appropriate equipment and know-how, a consumer can have a display that we can truly say has reference quality color and grayscale. Every display can be improved, all of your media can look better, and your home theater can be more enjoyable than ever before.

Technologies on the Rise: 4K Ultra HD
Just when you thought it was safe to purchase that 1080p LCD High Definition TV, because the price was cheap and there couldn't possibly be any more improvements or features, such as 3D, that could be added . . . now comes the news that 4K HDTVs have actually been introduced at the consumer level. But wait a minute. They can't be called High Definition because that specification only incorporates 720p and 1080i.
So we have, officially, Ultra HD, which has a resolution of 3840 x 2160. Also called 4K Ultra High Definition, Quad High Definition, Ultra High Definition, 4K Ultra HD, Quad Full High Definition, Quad Resolution, UHD, and a few others, it will soon just be good old 2160p.
Sony, Toshiba, JVC, Westinghouse, and LG have announced models at 84″, and the LG has been available in the US since October 2012, at $20,000. Sony's 84″ will be $25,000.
Why 84″? Because Ultra HD is really designed for watching TV on a large screen. You have already been seeing 4K at movie theaters on their 40 foot screens and it looks gorgeous.
But what about at home? If you have a projector and a large motorized screen, putting in an 84″ Ultra HD flat panel display might not even make you blink . . . until you realize that the screen doesn't roll up into the ceiling when you are done watching the movie. You will need a very big blank wall to mount it on, and there it will stay, even if you are playing Monopoly® with your family.
Nevertheless, early adopters with a no-limit credit card will undoubtedly be purchasing them.
But, but, but . . . where's the content? Well, for now, there isn't any. But you will have the advantage of seeing your 1080p movies upsampled to 2160p, and some Blu-ray players, such as the OPPO BDP-105, can do that already. Secondly, if you are interested in 3D, but don't like those battery powered active 3D glasses, you can watch 3D on an Ultra HD using passive 3D glasses (polarized). Currently, passive 3D cuts the vertical resolution of HDTV in half, meaning that each eye only sees 540p. But, with Ultra HD, and passive 3D glasses, you will see 1080p in each eye, because cutting the native 2160p in half results in 1080p.
The bottom line is that within about 7 years, all of the HDTVs will be 4K, so put away the Valium®. You will find one at a very good price point, just like you did with your 1080p HDTV.

Technologies on the Rise: Cloud Technology
As consumers, we are confronted with a wide variety of download services that all promise to give us access to music and movies for our personal enjoyment. This downloadable content also needs to be available across the wide range of televisions, tablets, computers and phones that we may own. But what do we do if we already have a huge collection of movies and music that we want to share within our own homes and across our devices? While the answer used to be CD or DVD jukeboxes, a new trend is to take the content to the internet using cloud technology.
We use the term cloud in this context to refer to storage that is private to an individual consumer but that exists on computers hosted by service providers on the internet. All types of data including movies and music can be stored on these storage servers without concern for physical media or backups. The trick of course is for manufacturers to provide easy solutions for consumers to access this data and in the case of audio and video content, play the content back in high fidelity. We are already seeing the use of cloud technology from companies like Apple with their iCloud offering. Companies such as Amazon and Microsoft are offering personal cloud storage space. We are even seeing the concept of private clouds which provide the same functionality but store their data on private servers installed on home networks. Whether we like it or not, data is moving to the cloud, and it's only a matter of time before we will access our music and movies from the cloud as well.

Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia:
The growth in crypto assets such as Bitcoin pose a threat to banks and global financial stability, despite relatively low levels of exposure among key players, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has warned.
The consortium of global bank regulators said: "The continued growth of crypto asset trading platforms and new financial products related to crypto assets has the potential to raise financial stability concerns and increase risks faced by banks."
While crypto-assets are at times referred to as 'crypto-currencies', the Committee is of the view that such assets do not reliably provide the standard functions of money and are unsafe to rely on as a medium of exchange or store of value, it said.
Crypto-assets are not legal tender, and are not backed by any government or public authority, it warned.
Crypto-assets have exhibited a high degree of volatility and are considered an immature asset class given the lack of standardisation and constant evolution.
"They present a number of risks for banks, including liquidity risk; credit risk; market risk; operational risk (including fraud and cyber risks); money laundering and terrorist financing risk; and legal and reputation risks," the Committee poined out.
Currently, banks have very limited direct exposures to crypto-assets, the BCBS noted. Before a bank dips its toe in, the BCBS said, it needs to conduct a comprehensive analysis of all the above risks and ......................

We would look to initiate longs on an extended drop to 1245 with stops on a close below 1238 and with an upside target of 1400.

I used a 10 x 10 EZ-Up pop up tent over my grilling area in the warm months for 6 years. When it wore out last fall I replaced it with a new model. The new version didn't last the summer. The had value engineered it (cheapened it ) and the roof started collecting water in the heavy rain. Once that started happening the material started stretching and it collected more water and stretched more each time it rained. I had to keep draining the the roof by pushing it up. I was afraid one day the weight of the rain would cause it to collapse and take out my new BGE. If it rained and I wasn't hometown drain it.... I don't want to think about that one.Duckhook18 said:... I thought about trying one of these tailgating pop up tents over my egg table. Thoughts? Would I burn a hole in the top?

CHICAGO (AP) — A suburban Chicago woman who reported that her 1-year-old son had been kidnapped is now being accused of killing the boy in a savage beating and concocting the abduction story as a cover-up.
Cook County prosecutors said Saturday that Lakeshia Baker of Maywood beat her son to death with a belt as her boyfriend restrained the child and placed his hand over the boy's mouth to muffle his screams. Both are charged with first-degree murder.
The toddler, Bryeon Hunter, has been missing since Tuesday and is now presumed dead, though authorities have yet to find a body. The report of his kidnapping prompted an Amber Alert and set off a search of abandoned buildings, trash bins and industrial areas by authorities and volunteers. Canine units were brought in, and a search of the Des Plaines River was carried out with divers and sonar equipment.
The Cook County State's Attorney's Office says that under police questioning, Baker admitted beating the child on Monday so severely that he died the next day. Baker's attorney, Irv Frazin, did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment Saturday.
A judge on Saturday ordered Baker, 22, held without bond, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Her boyfriend, Michael Scott, 21, who is not the child's biological father, was ordered held in lieu of $750,000 bail, the newspaper reported.
According to prosecutors, both defendants said the boy's body was placed in a backpack, but they each accused the other of disposing of it in the river.

It's not easy being a Raiders fan. First off: What goes with black? Seriously! It's also difficult to find time to cheer, what with all the drinking of infant's blood. And worst off, the Raiders' lousy game with the Texans this Sunday happens to be at the same time as The Most Important Battle Between Good And Evil Since The Fight For ImaginationLand. So some Raiders fans are taking matters into their own hands: They're begging their fellow boosters not to go to the game.
See, if the game isn't a sellout and is therefore blacked out, Oakland and San Francisco residents can actually watch the Patriots-Colts game.
This is one of the rare times that a substantial portion of local NFL fans may be rooting for a Raiders blackout. (The 49ers have a 10 a.m. PST kickoff in Atlanta.) Barring a deadline extension by the NFL, the Raiders have until 1:15 p.m. Thursday to sell out the game. Otherwise, the local telecast will fall into its own Black Hole.
Frankly, we don't see why this is a problem; we didn't know there 50,000 people who would rather watch Raiders-Texans over the Colts-Patriots anyway, let alone enough who would want to suffer through the experience in person. Even if there is a baby sacrifice.
Is Blackout A Boon On Sunday [San Francisco Chronicle]

A smiley-faced instant message with a photo link posing as if it's from someone on your buddy list is actually spreading misery worldwide in the form of a worm on Yahoo Instant Messenger: The IM ultimately delivers a worm that allows an attacker to take over the victim's machine, not to mention spread itself among the victim's contact list.
Researchers at BitDefender, BKIS, and Symantec today each separately warned Yahoo Messenger users about the worm attack, which is rapidly growing. Catalin Coisoi, senior malware and virus researcher for BitDefender, based in Romania, says his team has seen infection rates as high as 500 percent per hour in his home country since they first spotted it last week. "Today it started spreading like wildfire," Coisoi says.
He says the socially engineered message appears to be capitalizing on the May 1 national holiday in Romania. "People expect to see pictures [from their friends and colleagues] after a national holiday," he says. But he also expects the worm to make inroads in the U.S. today and tomorrow, with potential victims coming off of a weekend.
The worm -- known as Palevo by BitDefender, W32.Ymfocard.fam.Botnet by BKIS, and W32.Yimfoca by Symantec -- is a new variant of an existing worm. In the Yahoo IM attack, it tricks the user into saving what appears to be a JPG or GIF file, but instead is a malicious executable.
BitDefender says the worm contains a backdoor, which lets an attacker take over the victim's compromised machine, to install more malware, steal files, intercept passwords, and launch spam or other malware attacks on other systems. It's also spreading the way the infamous Conficker worm has done, via network shares and removable USB drives using the Autorun feature. When an infected memory stick gets loaded into a machine with Autorun enabled or unprotected, the machine can automatically be infected with the worm.
"You can do anything you want with a backdoor -- keylogging to search for passwords, or it could be a botnet," Coisoi says. "It offers the attacker full system access."
It also spreads via peer-to-peer sharing sites, such as Kazaa and LimeWire.
The good news: Because it drops an .exe file, it requires the user to run it for it to go live. According to Symantec, once the worm is run, it adds itself to the Windows Firewall list, stops the Windows Update service, and configures itself such that it runs each time the system boots. The worm automatically sends itself to everyone on the victim's contact list.
"The nature of this attack is nothing new, because some worms already used this way of attack," BKIS researchers blogged. "However, it is always potentially dangerous to [unaware] users. Bad guys have integrated some phishing elements to trick [the] user into clicking the link and then opening the downloaded file."

"Sayari had an amazing staff and our guide there was the BEST. We teased him that he had a button on the dash that conjured up the animals we were hoping to see each day. Rekero's location is unbeatable and the chefs turned out fantastic family style meals under the trees. Our guides there were so much fun and the cats - WOW! You could tell that the staff loved their work, and genuinely wanted their guests to have an amazing stay.
We loved the variety of locations without spending days in transit. Small camps is the best way to experience the Serengeti and Maasai Mara. We spoke to other travelers in Zanzibar who had stayed in the massive lodges - they did not have the experiences we did and in some cases were slightly disappointed in their safaris while we were raving fans. Thank you for putting together an adventure we will be talking about for years to come."

"Thank you for this ebook, if I didn't purchase it I would never have been brave enough to start training on my own. There is so much to the squat, bench press and deadlift that without following the step by step process found in your ebook I wouldn't have done it correctly. I hope more women get this ebook and avoid wasting time trying to figure it out on their own, I have told many women about it and will continue to do so, thanks again!." -Margie DeCara, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Dear Friend,
Every woman who wants to burn fat, have a toned body and gain strength will get results fast, GUARANTEED!
Discover the insider secrets which allow YOU, to safely gain strength without size, increase energy, improve your health and look good naked!
Im going to share my true story with YOU now...
In July of 2010 I wanted to lose weight and do it with a fun, new training program. After an intensive internet search, "powerlifting" continuously showed up in my search results.
I don't know about you, however, when I pictured female powerlifters the visual I got was steroid injecting, hairy women who have to wear pink to be identified as females.
I decided to YouTube some videos to see if my visual was true. To my shock, I found women of all sizes and ages involved in powerlifting. The sport isn't just for 300 pound men, there are many feminine women involved in powerlifting today who are fit and sexy.
These Results Are From Just 3 Hours A Week!
Back in July of 2010 I was out of shape and hadn't really exercised at all since graduating high school in 2004. To top it off, I was a very inexperienced weight lifter. Occasionally I would pick up a couple of 5 or 10 pound dumbbells, nothing heavier. Other than some bicep curls, I had no idea what I was doing.
When I saw that powerlifting training could give me the perfect body I wanted, I spent countless hours researching to find the best program to help me burn fat, gain strength and while improving my feminine figure.
Three months later, after applying some very hard to find tricks, I lost 16 pounds, felt healthier and stronger and I entered my first powerlifting competition at the age of 24, November 6th 2010.
NOW, I want to help you get these results!
I wrote the "Complete Guide To Powerlifting For Women," ebook for YOU to have a super strong, lean, mean, fat burning machine body.
By following the steps which led me to write this ebook, I was able to burn fat 7 times faster than any diet or cardio program I have ever followed!
I love hearing stories, like Jen's where they have been given crummy circomstances but were able to overcome their obsticles. This is just proof that powerlifting really can be for anyone!
At my first competition, I was very successful, beating the records in my weight class for the RAW United Federation and qualifying for RUM4 Nationals. Yes, in just over three months of training, as a total beginner, I was able to break records for squat, bench press and deadlift. Besides cheerleading in high school, I had never trained seriously for any physical event.
Soon after each event at the competition I was told that my form was far from perfect and I still had more to learn! So the minimal amount of information available online was not enough. There wasn't a team to train with or an experienced powerlifter at my local gym to share their knowledge with me. There was a much needed, "all-in-one" expert resource guide for powerlifting, however it didn't exist... until now!
I received one on one training in my first meet from some great people who have been involved in powerlifting for a long time. Three months later I was able to compete at Nationals and break into the top 10 National rankings for squat and deadlift in my weight class for 2011. I never thought in a million years it would be possible when I first started training with my 10 pound dumbbells just 6 months earlier.
This much needed guide is specifically written for WOMEN who want to get stronger, leaner and more confident. Take advantage of my experience and start training properly today. I owe all my quick success to the plan I followed, which I share ENTIRELY in this ebook.
YOU will have an advantage over other women after reading this ebook. Using the "Complete Guide To Powerlifting For Women" will give you the foundation you need to lift safely and efficiently, while allowing you to achieve unimaginable results in a very short amount of time.
I'm Giving YOU Even More...
