ICE CEO Says Proposal to Buy NYSE 'Well Received' by Regulators
IntercontinentalExchange Inc's $8.2 billion proposal to acquire NYSE Euronext has been "well received" by regulators, ICE Chief Executive Jeffrey Sprecher said on Thursday.
Sprecher said he and NYSE CEO Duncan Niederaur just completed a "whirlwind tour" visiting global regulators, particularly the five regulators that oversee the various markets in Europe, ahead of their announcement of the deal on Thursday morning.

Seattle rookie Miller wins AL Player of the Week
SEATTLE -- As a little leaguer, shortstop Brad Miller's team was always called The Mariners in honor of his and his teammates' favorite player: Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr. And Miller always wore number 24, just like The Kid.
On Tuesday, he took another stride in the footsteps of his idol, becoming the first Mariners rookie to win the American League Player of the Week Award since Griffey did it in 1989, six months before Miller was born.View Full Game Coverage
"Obviously he's my favorite player of all time, so I mean that was kind of surreal," Miller said. "Just being mentioned with him and obviously growing up a Mariners fan and a Jr. fan, [it] was pretty surreal."
The Mariners swept the Astros in the week following the All-Star break thanks in large part to the first-year player's contributions. In three games against Houston, Miller hit .385 (5-for-13) with four runs scored, two home runs and seven RBIs with a 1.346 OPS. It is the first AL Player of the Week Award for the Mariners this season.
Miller's best day came on Friday, when he hit his first two career home runs and collected five RBIs. His parents watched from the stands, having made the trip from Orlando, Fla., to see him take on the Astros.
"It was awesome, that's one of the closest spots for them from home," Miller said. "Just getting to share that with them after the game, getting to give them the home run balls after the game was pretty cool."
The 23-year-old has had an immediate impact on the Mariners, and it's no coincidence that the team's recent offensive surge overlaps with the decision to call up the young shortstop. Since making his debut on June 28, Miller has hit .270 with an .830 OPS while playing well defensively. His hot hitting has helped Seattle score 6.4 runs per game in July entering Monday's game, the best in the Majors.
"You know what, he's done a heck of a job since he's been up here," manager Eric Wedge said. "He's been very consistent, he provides energy, has some sock in his bat, moves around well both defensively and on the basepaths. Again, just the person that he is and the maturity he has for such a young man, I think that sticks out as much as anything."
Miller has reached base safely in 14 of his first 19 games, and he's scored 12 times for the Mariners. The left-handed hitter is batting .309 with a .377 on-base percentage in 15 games played at shortstop. Miller has played 13 games as Seattle's leadoff man and is batting .296 in those games.

Mann+Hummel claims these plastic housings reduce weight and help with emissions. BimmerBoost is not sure what the emissions benefit to the plastic housing actually is. The main difference is seemingly in the weight loss which then reduces the energy requirements to move the car. It's obvious why BMW would want this technology researched as the plastic material would help save weight and also likely costs as a plastic turbo will be cheaper than a high grade metal unit.
With BMW going for efficiency above all else we may start seeing plastic turbos at least in the economy models. It is doubtful a plastic housing would hold up to the rigors of a turbo M motor and then questions are raised as to how the material would fare under high heat conditions in a racetrack setting.
Head of development at Mann+Hummel Dr. Huurdeman had this to say, "The practices we have implemented successfully over the years for many plastic engine components were much harder to implement when replacing aluminium with thermoplastic PPS (polyphenylene sulphide) for turbocharger compressor housings. For example, the dynamic pressure loads at high compressor outlet temperatures entail very particular construction and material requirements."
If the plastic housing is able to deliver the durability and reliability BMW desires for a certain power level it will be no surprise to see it implemented. Plastic turbos coming soon? Sure looks like it.

Dear Mr. President, I write these lines to you on board the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise, as we leave the Russian economic zone waters north of the Kola Peninsula. You may be aware that for the last 5 days people from our ship were engaging in a peaceful protest against the planned start up of drilling for oil on the Russian Arctic shelf by Gazprom's Prirazlomnaya platform. I want to personally assure you that these protests were in no way directed against the interests of Russia, of people working on the platform, or even against the company of Gazprom. These protests are part of a global campaign that we have been carrying out for a number of years, protesting against oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean, from Greenland to Alaska. Mr. President. It is my deeply held conviction that oil production in the Arctic is counter to the environmental and economic security of Russia. Two weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting with your minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Mr Donskoy. I presented him the findings of the group of respected Russian scientists, who concluded that oil production even on a comparatively near- shore platform such as Prirazlomnaya, carries a high risk of severe contamination of the fragile Arctic marine and coastal environment, while the ability to clean up such a spill is extremely low, due to the climactic and geographic conditions of the region. Mr. President, I would like to emphasize again, that this is not unique to Russia. Similar analyses have yielded similar results for oil production on the Greenlandic and US Arctic shelves. The Minister also received from us a report presented earlier this year which analyses the economic feasibility of oil production on the Arctic shelf. It is clear that the production costs are so high as to make the venture unprofitable. Indeed, instead of contributing positively to the Russian economy, it is more likely to become a drain on Federal, and perhaps regional budgets. Ironically, we are just now passing close to the Shtokman gas field – a project which has now hit what seems to be a final obstacle and is in the process of dissolution, testifying its economic unfeasibility.
Mr. President I want to be very clear, we are not calling for stopping the use of petroleum products today. However it is clear that global oil production will not be able to be maintained much longer at the current level. We will be forced to develop and implement alternative, sustainable sources of energy. Russia possesses an immense wealth of such sources – from wind and solar to biomass and geothermal, as well as a huge potential for energy conservation which can provide cheaper and quicker energy equivalents than it planned to obtain in the Arctic offshore – Russia is capable to become the LEADING country in the world for developing clean energy for the future. Mr. President, I am deeply concerned that the decision to develop oil fields on the Arctic shelf risks devastating the environment, while closing the channels of investment towards renewable energy sources. I completely support the sentiment you expressed at the congress of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia" when you said: "It is obvious for us that the ambitious goals that we set for ourselves can only be achieved within the framework of a new model of economic growth, whose driver will be not the resource complex, but a powerful high technology-based business…" Opening extremely expensive oil fields in Arctic offshore doesn't help to stop the dependence of Russian national budget on oil and gas and on volatile oil and gas prices on the international market.
Mr. President, one other aspect needs to be mentioned. The climate crisis that the scientific community has been warning about for years is upon us. The data released 3 days ago by scientists from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) clearly shows that the extent of the Arctic ice cover is at its all-time minimum – frightening proof of the fact that the geophysical profile of our planet is undergoing rapid and violent changes, which threaten all of our futures, and indeed are already causing humanitarian catastrophes, both in my homeland, where droughts are devastating the African continent, as well as in yours, Mr. President, where we witnessed widespread forest fires two years ago. I am sure you agree with me, Mr. President, that it is not fair, that people of the developing world who have contributed least to carbon emissions are the ones that are already paying the first and most brutal impacts of climate change.
Part of the mission of Greenpeace is to bring to the public eye the destruction that our planet is suffering. Our ship will now proceed to the edge of the Arctic ice north of the Norwegian coast where together with representatives of the scientific community and representatives of the global public we will document and bear witness to the reality of the disappearing of the Earth's ice shield.
Mr. President, I am reminded of your words in the interview to a Canadian newspaper in 2000. You said "I've always admired people who devote their lives to environmental problems, I've watched with astonishment as a group of people on a little boat oppose a military or industrial ship. I must say it inspires only sympathy." Mr. President, I hope that you understand that our protest at Prirazlomnaya was done with the spirit of taking personal action that you say you admire. In the same spirit I would like to extend an invitation to you. I would be honored if you joined us on board the Arctic Sunrise in the upcoming trip to the retreating edge of the Arctic ice, so you could see for yourself the beauty of this remarkable region, the risk that it is exposed to, and hopefully be inspired to use your position to protect it against destruction.
We need global leadership to ensure that the Arctic is declared a global sanctuary and I appeal to you to step forward to provide it.
With deep respect,
Kumi Naidoo Executive Director, Greenpeace International

Dear Mr. President,
it seems to be a unique situation that a CEO from Greenpeace International, Mr President, I am sure you must have noticed, comes towards you in deep respect just when others, sorry having to say so Mr. President, turn away.
General opinion regarding Russia, and Mr. President, towards your person are said to need revise.
What a chance, Mr. President, to brighten up your image. Just imagine the Dictator Putin fighting hand in hand with DOCTOR Naidoo from, you just witnessed it yourself, Mr. President, Africa.
Mr. President, Africa and Russia, the powerful alliance of the future, both victims of the western World,
Mr. President, wouldn't it be wonderful if these to victims stand up together, Mr. President, to fight global injustice...as it sounds Kumi and you are already of the same opinion regarding what is fair, and what not.
Dear Mr. President, you are not a Dictator like others say, nope, you are simply a future Green Leader...because as you have experienced in Russia, strong leadership is always needed.
Mr. President, I would like to confirm you I am not one of those you call perverted homosexual, my invitation to join me in the Arctic is of pure sympathy towards a great leader of the 21st century.

'...Russia has disqualified hitself from being a partner
...Much has been supplanted in recent years: the wars in Chechnya swallowed internal Russian matter, the trial of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev trivialized as a power struggle among oligarchs, the death of journalists and human rights activists accepted as difficult aufklärbar, the cruel regime of Kadyrov dismissed in Chechnya as Caucasian specific , accepted the de facto annexation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after the war of 2008 as a result of Georgian provocation. Only the apparent collusion with the Assad regime in Syria has made the different values and interests so clear that they could no longer ignore the best of intentions can. The Punkerinnen Pussy Riot have it all in a nutshell.
...Who is preventing the EU and the U.S. from the Russian president to make clear that a corrupt power and judiciary Russia disqualified as a partner? Why is Russia's participation in the G-8 summit is not suspended while the regime does not guarantee the minimum democratic standards?...'

Are all you guys aware what DOCTOR Naidoo just did?
Did you get the meaning of the (bad) google-translation of 'DIE ZEIT' article.
This is bad, I am kind of missing words...
Putin is just about to be expelled from International community, at least some Intellectuals start to discuss putting in a different gear...
While brains start to demand and END of cuddling with Putin, will say: it is enough for a while already even though he has oil and gas...
...Greenpeace starts to offer hugs after having made work of Greenpeace Russia most likely more than difficult...lets see what will happen in the next one or two years following DOCTOR Naidoo's nice action in the Arctic in urgent need of a success linked to his name.
I got the impression Greenpeace is not a friend of brains for a while, much rather they seem to prefer the boulevard...please prove me to be wrong!!!
As I said: I am missing words...therefor I will provide some nice journalism in this place from now on....Andrew, of course always on topic, I already found a nice article on political correctness in terms of being a victim of the western world...like Russia, and of course: AFRICA.
It won't be Sun Wu Speaking, but journalists from leading media.
What else could I say which I have not said already without having to fear censorship.
DOCTOR Naidoo, please keep in mind the sake of Greenpeace, Only this Mr President, may I l...y...a...in the name of Greenpeace, sorry Mr. President, it is more reason than necessary to ask someone to remind you to do the necessary step now...
I can't, Andrew and EoinD will not excuse it (I am learning along the way).

Women Break Through as U.S. Boardrooms Welcome Non-CEOs
Beth Comstock, a Nike Inc. (NKE) director, says she picked up ideas in the shoemaker's boardroom about doing business in India by appealing to that country's love of cricket. Now she's taking what she learned back to her day job as General Electric Co. (GE)'s marketing chief.
Comstock shows how women are breaking through a path traveled by men for decades in male-dominated boards: They're increasingly welcomed as directors at corporations such as Honeywell International Inc. (HON) and General Dynamics Corp. (GD) without having served as a chief executive officer at another company. And like men, they're getting critical experience out of it.
Last year 34 percent of new female directors didn't have a CEO job, up from 6 percent in 2008, said Julie Daum, a recruiter at Spencer Stuart and an advocate for placing more women on boards. Opening up spots is important because it helps break the gender gap. If boards focus on CEO directors, they'll leave out many women since fewer have that background.
"You can't just have a knee-jerk reaction that you need an active CEO," said Daum, who co-leads Spencer Stuart's North American Board & CEO Practice from New York. Only 4 percent of Standard & Poor's 500 Index chief executives are women.
As women rise in the executive ranks, it's easier to find the right candidates, Honeywell CEO David Cote said. He should know: The manufacturer added Grace Lieblein from General Motors Co. (GM) to its board in December and nominated Robin Washington, 50, Gilead Science Inc.'s chief financial officer, for the slate of directors to be considered April 22.
'Great Candidates'
"You look for years and then all of a sudden two great candidates at one time who have run big stuff, who have made big decisions," Cote, 60, said in an interview. "They fit very well with our overall board philosophy, which is to be independent and supportive -- and those two do go together."
Lieblein, who was promoted in December to head of GM's worldwide purchasing, said she was running the carmaker's Brazilian operations when she was approached about the Honeywell position. Her first board meeting was Feb. 13.
It was the realization of a personal goal, the 52-year-old executive said. A neighbor when she was based in Mexico City, a retired executive who served on a couple of U.S. boards, recommended a board seat to round out her career. A three-day course about women on corporate boards at the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago in May 2011 only whetted her appetite more, she said.
Adding Value
"It's interesting to see how another company runs its business and how they face challenges," Lieblein said. "I can add value, too. I've been in manufacturing, I've done product development, I've run Mexico and Brazil, so I think I bring something to the table."
Lieblein said GM CEO Dan Akerson, who has been a member of at least a dozen boards over his career, sat down with her during a meeting in Brazil and gave her pointers for being a good director. Akerson also let Mary Barra -- his manufacturing chief and among possible successors, according to people familiar with the thinking -- join General Dynamics' board in 2011. The board opportunities mark a shift in GM strategy from past regimes, said Lieblein, who joined the carmaker in 1978.
Last year, women held 17 percent of S&P 500 board seats, up one percentage point compared with 2007, according to Spencer Stuart data. The number of new independent directors dropped to 291, the smallest since 2001: out of about 5,300 seats, turnover is low.
Fewer Women
Some male directors still aren't sold on the availability of female candidates. About 45 percent of them said the lack of qualified prospects explains the stagnation for women. Only 18 percent of female board members agree, according to a survey released in September by recruiter Heidrick & Struggles International Inc., Harvard University and the WomenCorporateDirectors organization.
Attitudes must change, said William Lauder, chairman of New York-based cosmetics maker Estee Lauder Cos.
"If we don't break out of the cycle, then women won't get the opportunity," said Lauder, whose company has seven female directors, the most in the S&P 500. "It's identifying a person who is a young rising star, and giving them an opportunity."
Estee Lauder appointed Wei Sun Christianson, Morgan Stanley's head of China, to its board in March of 2011. The company also permitted CFO Tracey Travis to stay on Campbell Soup Co. (CPB)'s board and let Georgia Garinois-Melenikiotou, senior vice president of marketing, become a Bacardi Corp. director.
CFOs Wanted
The financial meltdown has created a need for expertise on audit committees, a potential boon for women like Travis, 50, with financial jobs on their resumes, according to Lauder. In 2012, 17 percent of new women directors were CFOs, an increase from 1 percent in 2008, Spencer Stuart data show.
The boardroom gives heads of units governance experience, creating "more well-rounded executives," Lauder said.
"They themselves run multi-billion organizations within a multi-multi-billion dollar organization," he said. "They have all the skills and experiences and they are almost de facto CEOs of their units."
Other recent examples include marketing chiefs such as eBay Inc.'s Richelle Parham, who joined Scripps Networks Interactive Inc.'s board last year, and Bank of America Corp.'s Anne Finucane, a CVS Caremark Corp. director since 2011. Also in 2011, Hertz Global Holdings Inc. CFO Elyse Douglas joined Assurant Inc.'s board and Philip Morris International Inc. added JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s head of India, Kalpana Morparia.
Becoming CEO
Becoming a director can also help prepare lower-level executives for the top job. The opportunity, long available to some men, is now opening up for women too, said Janice Babiak, a former managing partner at Ernst & Young LLP and now a director and audit committee member at Walgreen Co. (WAG)
"What they would do with a man is say 'Well, he's going to be CEO someday, and he needs some board experience, so let's get him on a board somewhere,'" said Babiak, who mentors women seeking director positions. "At least it better prepared them."
Of 153 women appointed to S&P 500 boards over the last two years, 39 were CEOs joining boards other than their own, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on the women's careers. The group included 20 CFOs, nine unit presidents and five current or former chief marketing officers.
A good example of a woman hired for her experience rather than her title is Stephanie Tilenius, former vice president of global strategy at Google Inc. and a director at Coach Inc., said Daum.
"You're not going to get the CEO of Google on your board," she said. "Beth Comstock is probably a better addition to Nike board than Jeff Immelt," GE's chief executive.
'Guinea Pig'
Comstock, the only executive at GE serving on an outside board, is a self-described "guinea pig" for other managers. Immelt doesn't serve on any corporate board.
"Historically, GE hasn't really allowed us on corporate boards, so I knew that was changing," the 52-year-old executive said in an interview. "Jeff wanted some of his senior executives to have exposure to other leadership dynamics in other companies."
Insight on how Nike develops new markets and uses technology are helping with her own efforts at market development for GE. Exposure to a different corporate culture has also been beneficial, said Comstock, who has been a Nike director since 2011.
Nike CEO Mark Parker is "unlike many people I worked with GE," she said. "He grew up in the design arena, he's an innovator, he's a risk taker, in a meaningful way."
Engineering Culture
"GE has so many great leadership strengths, largely in engineering culture," Comstock said. "It's nice to see a different style. I've been able to bring some great best practices back from Mark and even to say to Jeff '''Here's a way they thought about it.'"
Another impediment for women has been their early penetration into areas that are functional, such as human resources or corporate council, versus operating jobs, said Babiak, the Walgreen director.
"So you make it through the glass ceiling and you're stuck in the glass room," she said. "Women need to push to get the operating roles."
Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg makes a similar point in her book "Lean In" offering advice to aspiring women executives to be more assertive in business and push for higher pay and more influential jobs. The Menlo Park, California-based social-networking website appointed her as the first and only woman on its board in June after several months of pressure from investors.
GM's Barra, GM senior vice president of Global Product Development, who worked in human resources, manufacturing and product development, said CEO Akerson encouraged her to take the board seat at defense company General Dynamics.
"We don't want to be an inwardly focused company," she said. "This is a way to get exposure to other senior leaders, another layer of management and diversity of thought."
The biggest obstacle women face remains their lack of previous boardroom experience, Spencer Stuart's Daum said.
"It's a catch 22," Daum said. "If they have governance experience, then their dance card is full. You just don't need 12 CEOs on your board."

With the holidays just around the corner, shoppers are scrambling to snag smartphones, tablets and other gadgets that sit atop their loved ones' wish lists. According to the analysts at Piper Jaffray, those in the market for a new handset are leaning toward the iPhone 5.
The investment banking firm reportedly surveyed more than 800 U.S. citizens, according to Apple Insider. The poll indicates that when it comes to the battle between Android and iOS, the numbers were nearly even pre-iPhone 5 launch. After Apple's newest smartphone was unveiled in September, the numbers shifted a bit, with 54.9 percent voting that they would purchase an iPhone and 35.2 percent leaning toward Android. Piper Jaffray conducted a third poll this month, and the statistics have largely stayed the same, with 53.3 percent voting iOS and 35.3 percent voting Android.
"We believe this is a positive that demonstrates the majority of U.S. consumers want an iPhone 5 even following the launch craze, and despite the Maps issues that have been widely noted," analyst Gene Munster said.
As for the remaining platforms, Windows Phone enthusiasm seemed to have declined since September, according to the survey. In September before the iPhone 5 was unveiled, 8.7 percent of those polled expressed interest in Microsoft's mobile brand. That number fell to 5.2 percent in October during the second round of votes and increased slightly in December to 6.5 percent. Research in Motion's Blackberry platform largely remained the same throughout the entire process, staying at 4.7 percent in September and October and moving to 4.9 percent in December.
While these numbers appear to sway in Apple's favor, there is one crucial fact to keep in mind. These statistics are polls based on what American shoppers think they might purchase. They do not reflect the actual state of the mobile market. In fact, Android takes a pretty significant lead over Apple when you break down the current statistics. Gartner's data from the third quarter of 2012 shows that Android accounts for a whopping 72.4 percent of the entire mobile market, while Apple only comprises 13.9 percent.
What's curious is that so many potential American smartphone buyers have said they would purchase an iPhone 5 over an Android device. These survey numbers don't seem to align with the reality of the smartphone market, but they're still interesting to think about.

It is written in Pascal using FreePascal and the Lazarus IDE.
lemontree provides a very fast Java class for the Walsh Hadamard transform (WHT) and O'Connor transform (OCT). You can regard the OCT as a black box which turns arbitrary numerical data into data with a Gaussian distribution. There are inverse transforms, also. It has many applications, such as Random Projections, Compressive Sensing, Neural Nets, and Genetic algorithms.
libjpeg-turbo is a high-speed version of libjpeg for x86 and x86-64 processors. It uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE, SSE2) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression. libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4 times as fast as the unmodified version of libjpeg. It also includes a wrapper library for the TurboJPEG API used by VirtualGL and TurboVNC. It was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD but has improved support for Mac OS X, 64-bit platforms, 32-bit and big endian pixel formats (RGBA/BGRA/ABGR/ARGB), accelerated Huffman encoding/decoding, and various other fixes.
Opendedup is a deduplication-based filesystem and block device designed to provide inline deduplication and flexiblity for applications. It benefits services such as backup, archiving, NAS storage, and Virtual Machine primary and secondary storage, and can be deployed in both a stand alone and distributed, multi node configuration. Standalone, it provides inline deduplication, replication, and unlimited snapshot capabilities. In a multi-node configuration, it adds global intra-volume deduplication, block storage redundancy, and block storage expandability. and will store and share unique data blocks with other volumes within the cluster. These volumes can also specify a level of redundancy for data stored in the cluster.
VPPPN stands for virtual peer-to-peer private networking. The project provides a VPN client using a custom protocol to be able to set up a point-to-point dynamic virtual network. This differs from OpenVPN in that it does not need a central server to pass the network's traffic. A central server exists to allocate IP addresses and provide a point of contact for the clients, but once connections are established, these services are no longer needed. This means that a VPPN network is free (as in beer), since to set up a network you do not need to invest in an always-on Internet server. Once established, a VPPPN network behaves in a similar way to a normal IP network. To the end user, this means you can set up an office network and drag and drop files between computers in a secure manner over the Internet.
Wendland TD is a German Tower Defense like game. In this game, the player's goal is to stop a truck or train (you can choose between a street or rails in the main menu) by placing obstacles like garbage, cows, or other trucks on the road/rails. This game is only available in German, because it is related to events that are actually happening like this in Germany.

Converting From Oil Heat to Gas Heat
We think it is not worth it, but we'd like to hear from people who say that it is.
We're not sure if it is worth it to convert from oil heat to gas heat. Although plumbers and utility companies in the Northeast report record numbers of conversions from oil heat to gas heat, it is not clear whether the conversions will pay off in the long run. It's possible that insulating the house and replacing a large, inefficient oil boiler with a smaller, Energy Star unit would be a safer investment. Let's look at the cons.
Plumbers in Boston report that the ballpark up-front investment in converting from oil heat to gas heat is $10,000, and that figure varies depending on whether or not you need to run a pipe out to the municipal gas line. How long will it take for that investment to pay itself off?
These are four reasons why an oil heat to gas heat conversion might not pay off:
1. The cost of gas might rise. Right now natural gas is cheaper than oil, but if demand increases it is possible that the price of gas will rise. Home heating oil dealers compete with each other, and you also have options like biodiesel fuel blends. If you don't like your oil supplier, you can change suppliers. Natural gas is (generally) delivered by the local utility company. If they raise the price of natural gas, there is not always a competitor to switch to.
2. Heating delivery problems can negate the value of your investment. According to Habitat Magazine, a magazine for board members and property managers of co-ops and condos, the investment in converting from oil heat to gas heat is worth little if the building has heat distribution problems. Ineffective heat distribution can cause overheating on lower floors, and cold temperatures on upper floors. Revamping your heat delivery system could improve the performance of your oil heater sufficiently to reduce the costs of using it. Revamping your heat delivery system might also be an added cost that would negate the value of the lower cost of natural gas.
3. Ineffective insulation could render your new gas furnace ineffective. Truth be told, ineffective insulation could also be jacking up the price that you are paying for oil heat. Improperly installed attic insulation is one of the biggest heat loss culprits, as well as weak door and window seals. Without paying to convert from oil heat to gas heat, you can lower the cost of home heating by improving your house's insulation.
4. It might be cheaper to buy a smaller, Energy Star certified oil burner than to convert from oil heat to gas heat. Old oil boilers in older houses tend to be larger than necessary, and not as efficient as newer, greener oil boilers. According to EnergyStar.gov, new combustion technologies allow new oil boilers to get more heat from the fuel. New Energy Star oil boilers run in the $3000 - $6000 range. Hire an HVAC contractor to install it for you, and your investment is still less than converting from oil heat to gas heat.
Have you converted from oil heat to gas heat? Was it worth it? Please tell us.

Full Mouse House for Stamos?
By now the entire free world has been appraised of the status of John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos' marriage. [ed. Note to Baghdad readers: They're Splitsville!] Page Six is reporting that John Cusack's already been circling Ms. Romijn n e Romijn-Stamos.
And what's John been up to? "Whooping it up" in Orlando's Disney World with "several buddies." We won't speculate that this is a move to make himself more appealing to the soon-to-be-legal Olsen Twins.
If this seems like a strange place to decompress after your high-profile relationship disintegrates, there is a precedent. When Tom recently kicked Penelope out of paradise, he spent an entire day floating through the "It's a Small World" ride in Anaheim with some "Scientologist buddies."
OK, we made that last part up, but if anyone sees Stamos "whooping up" Snow White and a couple of dwarves, we want to know about it.

Nearly had the over...but the bet on the moneyline was pure enjoyment.
Up by 9 with 2.15 left in the game- Tigers, you had it in the back of your pockets, but you forgot how to use the clock and the most important thing: how to make a goddam FT!!! And you, yes you Kansas, by all means you are not the best team in the nation , maybe in the top 5, definitely top 10 but please don't kid yourselves- you are not the best.
the last part of this post is complete horseshit! you proved you don't know garbage about basketball... Kansas was the most well-rounded and deepest team in the tourney... i called KU winning it after the 2nd round, and i also knew that Memphis was the team most likely to beat them... those two teams were CLEARLY the 2 best in the country...

America's leading flavored milk brand to sponsor the largest youth sports organization in the country
FRISCO, Texas (January 17, 2014) — US Youth Soccer, the largest youth sports organization in the nation, today announced NESTLÉ NESQUIK as the official "Chocolate Milk" and "Post Game" drink of US Youth Soccer.
The new partnership will highlight the benefits of drinking NESQUIK Low-fat Chocolate Milk after games and practices. Low-fat chocolate milk, like NESQUIK, may contain what research suggests is an ideal 3:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein that can help refuel and restore exhausted muscles, and will provide US Youth Soccer parents with a smart drink choice for their players.
"We are happy to welcome Nesquik to the US Youth Soccer sponsor family," said US Youth Soccer President John Sutter. "Our members are passionate about soccer and furthering their skills but they are also committed to eating healthy, wholesome, nutrient-rich fuel to complement and help them recover after training."
Through the partnership, NESQUIK will support US Youth Soccer's more than three million youth soccer players and one million adults through events and online at USYouthSoccer.org. Samples of NESQUIK beverages will be available on-site at select events and tournaments.
"We're honored to have the chance to support US Youth Soccer and provide them with delicious and nutritious products that allow coaches and parents a chance to give their players a great recovery drink," said Jared Zack, of the NESQUIK Brand. "Nesquik should be the beverage of choice after games, because it can help restore exhausted muscles, in a way that other leading hydrating sports drinks that do not contain protein cannot."
NESQUIK can be part of a nutritionally balanced diet that helps support athletes on and off the field. With each 8 fl oz serving, children can consume 40% of the Daily Value for calcium, along with essential nutrients, including Vitamins A and D.
For more information on NESQUIK, visit http://www.nesquik.com/ and for more information on US Youth Soccer, visit www.USYouthSoccer.org.

Everyone loves Luba, and why shouldn't they? She has that certain spark, that glint in her eye, that way of moving no man could ever possibly resist.
Posing in a pink polka-dot teddy, Luba strikes a pose and let's the camera slowly trace her curvaceous body in intimate detail. Then, just when you think you've had enough, Luba slowly turns, gives the camera a little wink, and reveals the best parts of that perfect body you know you were just dying to see. This may be a non-nude film, but when it comes to Luba, the beauty is all in the details.
Petter and Luba originally created this film during a commercial lingerie shoot but decided to share the 'uncensored' version with all of you. Enjoy!

Banks Aren't Social? Think Again
The dramatic changes in consumer behavior brought on by the rise of digital and social technology and social media have brought enormous challenges to all industries. As new channels and technologies pop up every day, old methods of communication, of customer relationship building, for the distribution of goods and services are put to the test.
Add a few layers of serious trust issues and a rapidly commoditizing marketplace and you've got the financial services industry. While department and specialty stores enjoy some of the highest average Net Promoter Scores (NPS)—in the low 60s—banks, credit cards and insurance companies continually limp along in the 20s.
And while more than one bank has been called out for a self-inflicted social media disaster, the truth is, financial service firms are proving to be among the most forward-thinking when it comes to social. Forward thinking banking, credit card and insurances companies are waking up to the fact that account holders want more sophisticated online tools—and they're meeting that demand with some of the most innovative social customer experience offerings around.
More and more are turning to social media to build and rebuild their customer relationships, and it's working. By inviting social customers to participate in the business, such as helping other customers and designing new products and services, banks have, in fact, changed the game.
Not only are they reinventing their customer relationships, they're tapping the operational benefits of social, too. In a highly competitive, commoditized marketplace with zero to low switching costs, financial services are doing something similar to the telecommunications industry when they shifted their customer relationships in a positive direction. They're launching communities, enabling peer-to-peer support, connecting service agents with social customers across the web and driving huge benefits across the entire business—from NPS lift to reduced support costs to greater adoption of products and services.
[See Related: Crowdsourcing Development of Financial Products: A New Path to Customer Engagement]
Customer experience pros at Australia's largest online broker, CommSec, for instance, knew that enhanced website features and functionality weren't going to give them the competitive advantage they needed. They sought a truly disruptive model to make their digital presence stand out, and they got it with a branded online community. CommSec customers can now monitor, buy, and sell stock directly from the community, conduct detailed research and most importantly, interact with trusted user-generated content. Therefore, customers can actually benefit from the knowledge and experience of investors just like themselves.
Some market leaders are going even further by using social to invite customers to participate in the business in a whole new way, actually blurring the lines and breaking down distinct walls between brand and customer for mutual benefit. Early this year, we saw the introduction of the Barclaycard Ring offering. As the first of its kind, it was designed not by focus groups or creative consultants, but by its community members. And along with it came a 25% improvement in customer retention and a 50% drop in customer complaints.
The Barclaycard Ring initiative was just the beginning for this truly innovative brand. Breaking down the walls between brand and customer even further, they've just launched "Your Bank," a way of crowdsourcing ideas to help "shape everyday banking for everyone."
This kind of differentiated social customer experience goes right to the heart of three key business challenges Barclays was facing:
1. Digital and social is noisy and confusing: how do I stand out? 2. My products and services are becoming commoditized: how do I innovate on them faster so I can differentiate myself? 3. How can I rebuild trust with my customers and cultivate long-term loyalty?
The social customer experience is fast becoming an important battleground for the financial services industry. Those firms who use online community and social response platforms for marketing, customer care and service innovation are getting huge returns. And while it's true that the financial industry remains relatively immature compared to others that entered as early adopters, this provides a real opportunity for those forward-thinking financial institutions to differentiate themselves from their competition.

Welcome to Wolfie's Renderosity Home Page... My Little City in the Big Sity! My Favourite Gallery Images Hi, I used to go by ~White Wolf~ but everyone called me ~Wolfie~ and it has kind of stuck. I love Poser, and the ability to grow, as I love to make and learn new things with this amazing software. I've been messing about in Poser since it was owned by 'Meta Creations' (you do the math), but never really got into it until 2003-04. I am the 'creator' (if you will) of Mix n Match (Mega, Ultimate, Extreme, and Infinite). I love giving people the ability to do whatever they can with what a base package will allow. I will always push them to the Mega, Ultimate, Extreme, or Infinite limits of what is possible. It is what I do, and it is what I have been doing for a very long time...and it's what I plan on doing for longer still. I get many requests for products with 'difficult' UV maps... but I don't let those things slow me down. I will bust my arse to be sure to find a way of working with these packs to supply what was requested... and then some... with my killer mat pose packages that are often imitated.. but hardly duplicated. Yes, it's not uncommon for my texture add on packages to have over 2500 mat poses, and I have even had one package hit over 5500 mat poses. Yes, I did say 5500. lol BIO In case you hadn't guessed, I am a lady. Yes, a lot of people often thought I was a man. (must be the nick name) ?? Anyway, I'm 40 (1974) and a married mother of two babies aged 20 yrs and 14 yrs, both boys. Actually, make that four babies cause I would have to argue that my BMW 330xi and my JEEP Wrangler Rubicon are also 'my' babies. LOL! I am a Canadian. Born and bred. Always will be Canadian. Living in Northern Ontario, but not in an igloo. Although it does get cold enough that we could build one, and it would probably last around 4 months (give or take) before slowly melting. It's not uncommon for it to hit, in the winter, a low of -40 degrees Celsius (Celcius and Fahrenheit meet at -40 for those of you who use the incorrect format *smile*) ♥♥♥ ~Wolfie~ P.S. Please don't be offended if you send a friend request and I do not accept it. I'm not the type of person who 'collects' friends just for the sake of it. My friends are worth more to me then a mere 'status symbol', nor will they ever be a 'trophy collection'.

The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk

The sideskirts follow the E92 design. The front bumper takes inspiration from the 1M and is immediately recognizable as M. This brings us to the rear of the car where the taillights ditch the amber of the F32 4-Series (thankfully) and the car retains the quad exhaust setup the E46 M3 and E92 M3's brought us. Most importantly, the controversial 'bimmerrang' side vent received a redesign for the M version that looks much more like the E9X M setup. It just looks better.
The car is a solid design and looks great. Now the question becomes what the official specifications would be. A 450 horsepower S55 turbocharged inlnie-6 mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission is expected. If BMW can drop the weight significantly, that may be enough. We will have to wait and see.
Enjoy the pictures.

CINCINNATI — Players couldn't believe it themselves. The numbers don't compute. Four turnovers on four straight possessions and they … lose?
Blasphemy. This defied football logic.
Inside the Green Bay Packers locker room after Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, a few defensive backs chuckled in disbelief. You'd think they did enough to win at Paul Brown Stadium.
"I guess not, since we lost," said cornerback Davon House, bewildered. "I guess we have to get five turnovers. I really don't how we lost the game. Maybe you can tell us what happened.
"It's amazing. I don't know."
In one manic flurry of turnovers, the Packers should have buried the Bengals in the first half. Instead, they left this state 1-2. All the turnovers were for nil. Takeaways must fuel a Dom Capers defense. From 2009-'11, they did. Last season was average.
And for one four-drive stretch at Cincinnati, they binged off turnovers. A defensive coordinator couldn't script a more chaotic, beautiful mash-up of offensive miscues.
Yet it wasn't enough. That's what was so disheartening for the defense.
On demand, A.J. Hawk, Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, House, none of them — "Never. No, never," House emphasizes — could remember a game at any level when they forced four turnovers and still lost.
"I have to go back to the film and see what we can do better on defense," House said. "But that's kind of unheard of — losing a game after four turnovers."
The run began with Shields cloaking A.J. Green up the sideline. The fourth-year cornerback stuck with Green and picked off Andy Dalton, leading to a Green Bay field goal. Next up was Brad Jones. The Green Bay linebacker stripped the ball from Jermaine Gresham, but Aaron Rodgers and the offense failed to capitalize. Three plays later, the Packers punted.
On third and 1 the next drive, Clay Matthews dived, tackled BenJarvus Green-Ellis and popped the ball out in a made-for-museum work of art. As Matthews celebrated, M.D. Jennings scooped the ball up and trotted 24 yards into the end zone.
And soon after, Matthews struck again. The outside linebacker forced a fumble, Jones recovered and the Packers settled for another field goal despite starting at Cincinnati's 21.
When the dust settled, the Packers still trailed, 14-13. The first half was a virtual "How to" in squandered opportunities.
"The defense did a hell of a job," tight end Andrew Quarless said. "The offense, we didn't capitalize on those opportunities."
The end line in sight, the Packers' offense self-destructed on cue. Three plays. Three plays again. Seven plays. Six points. It all caught up with the Packers. In the second half, the infrastructure of Green Bay's defense began to crack. Dalton shredded the Packers for 168 yards on 13-of-16 passing with two touchdowns — and those turnovers weren't coming anymore.
Tying his shoes at his locker, Williams shook his head. Green Bay made history. The last time the Packers forced four turnovers in a half was Dec. 31, 2006. Any game, this should be enough.
"You definitely think you would win the game, no doubt," Williams said. "When you're around the game long enough, you see stuff like that happen. It's crazy. It unfolded the way we didn't want it to."
As Hawk points out, the Packers didn't consciously think about the missed opportunities as they unraveled. Rather, once Green Bay built a lead — a lead that swelled to 30-14 — the thought process was "If we do our job, we're going to win," Hawk said.
Instead, receivers started leaking free. Rookie Giovani Bernard turned the jets back on. And those four turnovers were diminished to a footnote in Packers history.
"This was a crazy game, a crazy battle on both sides," Hawk said. "We just couldn't find a way to keep the momentum we had. … It's up to us now. I think we have to prove we are high-character guys and have guys who will buckle down and work."
Maybe this turnover parade will manifest into something greater. Week after week, Capers repeats the importance of takeaways. His first three years, the defense averaged 2.41, 2.15 and 2.29 turnovers per game. Last season, only 1.5.
His scheme feeds off momentum swings. Capers has been looking for a new wave of playmakers. In that sense, Sunday was promising.
"We played lights-out ball on defense," House said. "We scored a touchdown. Four turnovers."
Yet for one game, anyway, all those turnovers were good for nothing.
