Sales of New Homes Declined Steeply in July; CNNMoney.com Ignores, AP's Rubager Fails to Report Price Decline
At 10 a.m. this morning, the Census Bureau essentially declared the much-ballyhooed "housing recovery" an illusion.
Only 35,000 homes were actually sold in July. That translates to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 394,000, miles below the expected 487,000 and 12% below June's 455,000, which was itself revised down from 497,000. After the jump, I'll reveal what supposedly leading personal finance site CNNMoney.com had posted in response to this news:
Nothing (screen cap is of top portion of page; no story was present anywhere on the entire page). I guess they were awaiting White House instructions as to how to react.
Meanwhile, at the Associated Press (as of 10:39 a.m.; saved here at host for future reference, fair use and discussion purposes), Christopher Rugaber assigned all of the blame to rising interest rates, and clung to the notion that the housing recovery is still strong (bolds are mine):
Americans cut back sharply in July on their purchases of new homes, a sign that higher mortgage rates may weigh on the housing recovery.
The Commerce Department said Friday that U.S. sales of newly built home dropped 13.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 394,000. That's the lowest pace in nine months. And it is down from a rate of 455,000 in June, which was revised sharply lower from a previously reported 497,000.
New-home sales have risen 7 percent in the 12 months ending in July. The annual pace remains well below the 700,000 that is consistent with a healthy market. (44% below. — Ed.)
… mortgage rates have risen a full percentage point since May and have started to steal some of the market's momentum. (Uh, more like all of it. — Ed.)
… The impact of higher mortgage rates has surfaced in the new-home market faster because the July sales report reflects signed contracts. Sales of previously occupied homes reached a nearly four-year high last month. But that report measured completed sales, which typically reflects mortgage rates locked in a month or two earlier.
The jump in previously occupied home sales likely reflected a rush by home buyers to lock in lower rates. Some economists expect those sales to fall back in August.
Even so, most economists expect the housing recovery will persist. Mortgage rates remain relatively low by historical standards.
Mortgage rates are indeed still historically low, which begs the question as to why a one-point rise should hit the housing market so hard.
Answer: The economy isn't fundamentally sound.
Rugaber also "somehow" missed something Zero Hedge picked up, namely that the median new home sales price hit its lowest level in six months.
Back to sales drop: After the early-1980s recession, the housing market roared back when mortgage interest rates ranged from 12%-14%. Even after subtracting inflation, which averaged a bit less than 4% during 1983-1985 (down from 13.5% in 1980 and 10.3% in 1981), real rates were roughly twice as high then as they are now. Yet the new-home market can't handle a one-point rate jump without cratering at levels that are over 40% below "healthy" (I think the benchmark should be more like 800,000).
Rugaber's statement that "most economists expect the housing recovery will persist" isn't supportable, because he can't possibly have had to the time to get revised takes from enough economists to matter based on today's disastrous news.

Can you spot the Code violations?
How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.

September Winners
Shawn Tyburski, a designer with Integrated Design Solutions in Troy, Mich., submitted these comments in reference to the September photo.
"A conduit body shall be installed at each conductor splice point, outlet point, switch point, junction point, termination point, or pull point in accordance with 300.15. The wiring method used to supply signs and outline lighting systems shall terminate within a sign, an outline lighting system enclosure, a suitable box, or a conduit body in accordance with 600.C(1). Signs and outline lighting systems with incandescent lamp holders shall be marked to indicate the maximum allowable wattage of lamps. The markings shall be permanently installed, in letters at least 6 mm high, and shall be located where visible during relamping in accordance with 600.4(B). If this installation is outdoors, insulated conductors or cables used where exposed to direct rays of sun shall comply as noted in code section 310.8(D)."
Arthur C. Walker, a technician at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, N.H., had this to say about the installation.
"The light bulb is not designed for outdoor use. The lighting fixture doesn't look like it is designed for outdoor use either. There's no guard to protect the bulb. Nonmetallic-sheathed cable is designed for interior use only, not for exposed outdoor use. Using wire nuts in this manner (outside of an enclosure) is not permitted. There doesn't appear to be any kind of junction box available at this location. All equipment used outdoors should be designed for that use. In summary, this installation violates many rules in Articles 314, 334, 410, and 600 — to name a few."
Correctly identify the Code violation(s) in this month's photo — in 200 words or less — and you could win something to put in your toolbox.

Silversea to Host Michelin-Star Chefsby Janice Wald Henderson CruiseMates Culinary Editor | 09.07.12
Silversea's guest chefs have serious cooking credentials on an international scale.
Silversea's special wine and culinary cruises offer world-class instruction For years, famous chefs eschewed cruising the way the rest of us avoid colds. But today, they're jumping at the chance to teach classes and cook onboard. One reason they're now so eager is that shipboard cuisine has vastly improved. Top cruise chefs are more sophisticated, often coming from noted restaurants onshore. And it's easier for visiting chefs to work with them. Trust me, if Silversea Cruises' cuisine was awful, the Michelin-star award-winners just announced for upcoming sails would not be doing a stint on the ships - even for a fancy vacation.
The names instantly grabbed my attention. They're not the usual in-your-face American television stars, selling pots and pans, opening dozens of restaurants and yes, occasionally cooking. Silversea's new list features chefs not well known on American shores but who have serious cooking cred on an international scope. And that makes sense for Silversea. This luxury line appeals to a global crowd.
The first guest chef that caught my eye is Eyvind Hellstrom. This Norwegian chef earned two Michelin stars (a rare accomplishment) in Oslo for his cuisine at Bagatelle restaurant. Hellstrom is often credited as the chef who put Norway on the culinary map. Hellstrom introduced Norwegians to French cooking and also to Norway's native salmon, halibut, cod and other superb seafood. At Bagatelle, he created a gastronomic destination celebrated throughout foodie circles all over Europe, not just in Norway.
Sometimes described as a cross between Britain's cheeky Gordon Ramsey and France's living legend Paul Bocuse, Hellstrom is all about ingredients, showcasing the best and accenting their attributes in subtle simple ways. This master chef is a television star in Norway, so he not only cooks, he can entertain. Hellstrom will sail on the Silver Wind's Arabia and Indian Ocean Voyage 2237, December 5-22, 2012, Dubai to Mauritius.
Count on Dale Gartland to bring further enliven a Silversea sailing. A native of Shropshire, England, Gartland is group executive chef for Relais & Chateaux's three most enticing getaways in New Zealand; The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, The Farm at Cape Kidnappers and Matakauri Lodge.
Relais & Chateaux is a collection of restaurants, hotels and resorts that possess individualistic charm and fabulous cuisine. I can't think of one Relais & Chateaux I've had the good fortune to dine or stay at that didn't wow me at the dinner table. (Or everywhere else, for that matter.) Silversea Cruises has an exclusive parternship with Relais & Chateaux.
Does this cruise sound interesting to you? Tell us here: Silversea Forum
The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs is one of New Zealand's most renowned resorts. So is its sister hotel, The Farm at Cape Kidnappers. They both regularly top lists of the world's best resorts.
Both hotels are known for serving food made from scratch (even jams and ice cream) and locally sourced. At The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, for instance, some 37 types of tomatoes are grown among many vegetables in the resort garden. Hotel hens provide fresh eggs daily. Menus change daily, depending upon what is fresh and available.
Dale Gartland worked at country house hotels in the United Kingdom before he scored his dream job cooking at a Relais & Chateaux's Gidleigh Park in Devon, England. He spent four years there before heading to Kauri Cliffs in 2003 and rising up the ranks.
UK's Conde Nast Traveler named The Farm at Cape Kidnappers as "Best for Food" in its 2009 Gold List and in 2010, Kauri Cliffs won the same award. Gartland's new menus at Matakauri Lodge retain the same focus; sourcing the best local ingredients and reflecting the rustic character of the region.
His modern approach to New Zealand/European cuisine includes dishes like thyme and honey-glazed duck breast with celeriac puree and five-spice sauce, and local salmon with scampi spring roll with crayfish and coriander bisque. Gartland will share his contemporary culinary vision with Silversea guests onboard Silver Shadow's Voyage 3302, January 18-February 1, 2013, Auckland to Sydney.
Aaron Patterson won his first Michelin star at the young age of 23 and is head chef at Hambleton Hall, a Relais & Chateaux hotel in Rutland, England. Hambleton Hall, built in 1881, is about two-and-one-half hours north of London and ranked one of Britain's finest country house hotels.
Patterson achieved renown for modern British cooking prepared with the best seasonal ingredients. His menus include dishes like wild mushroom consommé with parsley root puree, sautéed langoustine with pork belly, and loin of venison with caramelized endive and cocoa-flavored sauce. Sometimes he riffs on tradition, presenting dishes like riceless risotto of squid with chorizo, or salad of Cornish crab with brown meat ice cream.
The latter two may sound strange, but I'm sure they're delicious. The ice cream would be savory, not sweet, and perhaps be somewhat like a chilled cream flavored with veal or rich seafood stock. Risotto is, of course, an Italian rice dish. In this case, Patterson is using something other than rice to create a risotto-like effect. This British chef does appear on some UK television, so he, too, will probably enchant an audience. You'll find him onboard Silver Shadow's Singapore-to-Hong Kong Voyage 3305, February 25-March 6, 2013.
Other chefs in the Silversea Cruises' line-up include Ying Compestine and Shane Delia. Compestine was born in China and is an authority on Asian culture and cuisine. She is the former food editor for Martha Stewart's Whole Living magazine and the author of four cookbooks. She's hosting a culinary presentation on Silver Shadow's transpacific Voyage 3227, September 6-13, 2012, Vancouver to Tokyo.
Delia is a hot chef in a hot foodie city - Melbourne, Australia. He's a cookbook author and a television show regular Down Under. But most importantly, he's known for his cooking at Maha Bar & Grill in Melbourne. (Recently, he launched St. Katherine's, serving food melded with modern Greek, Turkish and Middle Eastern flavors.) Of Maltese heritage, Delia blends the foods of his culinary background with Middle Eastern.
Delia is only in his 30s and already worked as executive chef at Eleanore's Restaurant, a top restaurant at the five-star Relais & Chateau historic hotel Chateau Yering in the Yarra Valley. Recipes like pulled pork taco with peanut mayo; chicken shank, eggplant and fig tagine; and 12-hour roast lamb currently on his web site look amazing. He'll share his eclectic talents on Silver Shadow's Voyage 3311, April 22-May 6, 2013, Hong Kong to Tokyo.

Etan Patz Case: Why the DA Prosecuted Pedro Hernandez
(NEW YORK) -- Towards the end of Pedro Hernandez' taped confession to kidnapping and killing six-year-old Etan Patz he can be seen kneeling and praying with the detectives who questioned him, ABC News has learned. At that moment, according to sources who have seen the video, there is the sense that everyone in the room has tears in their eyes. Certainly Hernandez appears to.
Is it textbook police work? Maybe not. Nor are the hugs exchanged by suspect and investigators. But is it a powerful, moving and, most importantly, convincing confession?
The office of Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance clearly thinks so.
So do multiple persons familiar with the case interviewed by ABC News.
Following a grand jury indictment of Hernandez on kidnapping and second degree murder charges, the Manhattan D.A. will now go forward with a prosecution that will by all accounts be a difficult one. No physical evidence found to date links the suspect to the crime, a number of sources say, there are no witnesses, and the crime -- committed in 1979 -- has long been blamed on another man, although that man was never indicted.
Still, in a system of justice that has winners and losers, in a town like New York where sometimes it seems that all that matters is the zero sum game, the decision of prosecutors to go forward speaks to the law as they understand it, sources explain. The prosecutors have seen the psychiatric reports on the suspect, they have viewed and reviewed the confession, they are certain Hernandez is not crazy.
And if he is not crazy and he has confessed to police -- and he has in the past to family members and others -- that he killed Patz, the default position is not that his is a false confession, according to sources familiar with the case, but that it's true. In other words, it's the statement of a guilty man who, at age 51, wants to get a long-ago crime off his chest.
However formidable the burden of proof may be, then, this is a case that appears to be moving forward.
In that sense, the Hernandez case is the polar opposite of another legal firestorm that fell to Manhattan D.A. Vance -- the arrest of the prominent French politician and IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn on charges of sexually assaulting a hotel maid. Depending on jury composition, the presentation of circumstantial evidence, and the skill of the prosecutors, it is conceivable that the case could have been made to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that "DSK" committed the crime.
But in the end, when they examined all the factors they had before them, the prosecutors felt that despite what appeared to be a large body of evidence, they themselves were not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that DSK was guilty. So in an atmosphere charged with issues of class and race and the suggestion of preferential treatment for a member of the global elite, Vance and his prosecutors dropped the case.
In the current case, which no one pretends will be anything but an uphill battle, they will move forward.
Their courtroom strategy will be to draw the jury back time and again to Hernandez' own words.
But Harvey Fishbein, the attorney for Hernandez, will have a large arsenal of weapons with which to fight back.
"This case will take time and it will take money," Fishbein said after his client's 90-second court appearance Thursday. And, he added, "This case will not tell the world what happened to Etan Patz."
Fishbein, sources say, is virtually certain to try to cast reasonable doubt on Hernandez's guilt by calling as a witness the former federal prosecutor who identified Jose Ramos, a convicted sex offender, as Patz's likely killer. In effect he will put the ex-prosecutor, Stuart GraBois, and his prime suspect on trial.
Ramos was released from a Pennsylvania prison earlier this month after serving 27 years for molestation in an unrelated case, but was immediately rearrested for allegedly lying about where he planned to live after his release.
Fishbein will elicit all he can about Ramos's past admissions that he was "90 percent certain" he had Patz in his apartment the day he went missing. He may bring forth the testimony of jailhouse snitches incarcerated with Ramos, and he will ask, repeatedly, "Where is the evidence?"
"My client will plead not guilty," Fishbein said. And without suggesting his client's confession was false, he simply noted that it is a documented fact that people confess to crimes they have not committed.
Should the case make it all the way to trial, a knowledgeable insider said, one would probably bet against the prosecution.

Nim's Island is a movie for kids who like to think and read
Article Date: April 15, 2008 | Publication: sify.com | Author: Christy Lemire
Source: http://sify.com/movies/hollywood/review.php?id=14649803&ctid=5&cid=2426
Not much is terribly new or challenging in this adaptation of Wendy Orr's novel. But Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin�child stars past and present�do make a smart, appealing pair.
Breslin is the titular Nim, an energetic, adventurous girl who's been living with her scientist father, Jack (Gerard Butler), on an undiscovered South Pacific island since her mother's death. Then one day he disappears while on an aquatic expedition, leaving Nim all alone with her animal friends. (Breslin enjoys several amusing and affectionate moments with some well-trained creatures, including a sea lion, a bearded dragon and a pelican.)
Mature beyond her years but understandably panicked, Nim seeks help from Alex Rover, the globe-trotting hero of her favourite book series (also played by Butler in an Indiana Jones-style hat and an appropriate amount of facial scruff). But her e-mail exchanges are actually with the author of the novels, Foster's Alexandra Rover�who's agoraphobic, obsessive-compulsive and so generally fearful; she hasn't left her San Francisco apartment in months. It's a refreshing role change for Foster, who's normally so strong and in control on screen, and it gives the veteran actress a rare chance at doing physical comedy.
Perhaps it's a bit convenient that Nim and Alexandra are opposites who must connect to make each others' lives complete. One is afraid of nothing while the other is afraid of everything, as illustrated with a parallel-editing sequence in which Nim climbs a volcano while Alexandra struggles just to open the front door.
But husband-and-wife writers and directors Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, who made the 2005 charmer Little Manhattan, do get some heart-tugging moments out of their cast. (The couple co-wrote the script with Paula Mazur and Joseph Kwong.)
Butler gets to show off the skills that have helped bolster him to stardom in his last two disparate movies: He's hardy and brave as he was in the blockbuster 300, but also tender and playful as he was in the weepy PS I Love You. Levin and Flackett capably blend fantasy and reality, having Alex show up both in Nim's bedroom as she reads about his many adventures, and in Alexandra's apartment as she summons the courage to seek out this scared little girl and rescue her.
A couple of storms might be too intense for young kids who are afraid of thunder and lightning, and the whole movie might be troubling to youngsters who have separation anxiety issues. But those are only individual moments. For the most part, it's all smiles, sunshine, exotic scenery�and perhaps a couple of tears here and there.
Nim's Island, a Fox release, is rated PG for mild adventure action and brief language. Running time: 95 minutes.
Two and a half stars out of four.

Meg Whitman may be able to spend millions to get her message out but she can't use her mountains of gold for the thing she needs most right now: time.
In a sign that the the Republican gubernatorial hopefuls massive spending habits are not converting a notoriously liberal state in her favor, a new poll shows former governor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown is starting to pull away with the election.
An LA Times-USC poll says Brown has a 13-point lead over the former eBay CEO just over a week ahead of the election.
Fifty-two percent of voters polled said they would vote for Brown, who is currently the state's attorney general, while only 39 percent said they would vote for Whitman.
In a recent interview with the California Report, Whitman downplayed any suggestions that polls have her worried.

Eating Less-but Healthier-Meat
by Mindy Pennybacker
As autumn approaches in the northern hemisphere, the committed meat eater looks ahead to cold-weather roasts. The urge to don a protective layer of fat against the cold and dark dates back to our Paleolithic past. Unfortunately, while our appetites remain unchanged, we now rely on fossil fuels rather than bonfires and our own muscle power, for energy. Our sedentary lifestyles, coupled with growing meat consumption, are contributing to burgeoning obesity and damage to the environment worldwide (see cover story in the July/August issue: "Meat: Now It's Not Personal!").
According to Worldwatch researchers, the number of four-footed livestock on earth at any given moment has increased 60 percent since 1961. Widespread in North America and Europe, industrial feedlots-a major cause of air and water pollution-are now being used in Brazil, China, India, the Philippines, and elsewhere. The increase in meat production and consumption has dovetailed with what the World Health Organization calls an obesity epidemic worldwide. Sixty-one percent of Americans are overweight, but the number of overweight people is also increasing rapidly in developing countries such as China, Brazil, and Colombia. "In these and more and more developing countries, it is not uncommon for the overweight population to exceed the underweight population," reports the Worldwatch Paper Underfed and Overfed.
As if throwing fat on the fire, many are turning to the scientifically questionable Atkins Diet, whose surging popularity in the past year has ratcheted up demand for red meat despite warnings of ill health effects from the American Heart Association, Physicians for Responsible Medicine, and others. ‑Eating red meat increases risk of obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
So, all we have to do is stop eating meat, right? Try telling that to your father-in-law over a Thanksgiving dinner of stuffed roast squash, or to a ravenous child who turns up his or her nose at tofu loaf after soccer practice! Rather than let your child slip out to McDonald's to satisfy a cave-man craving, you can offer a hamburger made of organic, grass-fed beef which, when "raised on smaller, local farms, rather than on large commercial farms, not only tastes better but is a healthy, environmentally sound alternative," according to Danielle Nierenberg, a Worldwatch researcher (WW news release, June 2003). As Fred Kirschenmann, an organic rancher and farmer and director of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, says, "Cattle are not permanently married to feedlots and rain forests. Dispersed on diversified farms, cattle can convert crop residues into human food. Their manure, one of the most environmentally benign sources of fertilizer, supplies a major portion of soil fertility needs." Kirschenmann points out that 80 percent of cattle food comes from "grass, crop residues and weather-damaged grains that people do not eat." Through grazing, his organic cattle fertilize and preserve "more than 900 acres of native grass. In other words, cows can be part of a sustainable, closed-loop system.
Of course we should all cut back on red meat. But if, when we do eat it, we make sustainable choices, our consumer demand can help make the marketplace and the meat industry greener and healthier. Here are some labels to look for on meat:
USDA Organic: Organic animals are antibiotic and hormone-free, and eat only 100 percent organic vegetarian diets rather than the feed laced with ruminant blood and tissue that has spread BSE. Organic feed is grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides derived from petroleum.
Certified Humane Raised and Handled: Animals get fresh air, water, exercise, and are not overcrowded. The Animal Welfare Institute certifies only independent family farms.
100 Percent Pastured or Grass Fed: Though not currently third-party certified, animals raised on pasture for their entire lives are lower in overall fats, yet have more omega-3, heart-healthy fatty acids and are free of antibiotics and synthetic hormones, making them healthier foods. Ask manufacturers or local farmers at greenmarkets for assurances of 100 percent pasture production.
For more information and extensive lists of companies, see Meat Product Report at www.thegreenguide.com. To find a farmer's market in your area, see www.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets. For more on certified humane raised, see www.awionline.com. For grass-fed details, see www.eatwild.com. For a thoughtful response to our cover story on meat in July/August, see Mark Muller's letter to the editor on page 6 of this issue.

kilograms) x [0.85 if Female] 72 times Serum Creatinine (in mg/dL). If calculated CrCl
based on Cockcroft-Gault method is <60 mL/min, patient will have a 24 hr urine
collection to measure CrCl. The measured CrCl msut be also greater than or equal to 60
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are
currently available on the use of carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide in
patients less than18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be
eligible for future pediatric trials.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.0 K/uL, hemoglobin greater
than or equal to 8 g/dL (transfusions are permissible), and platelet count greater

willing and able to comply with the requirements of RevAssist .
- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy
test within 10-14 days and again within 24 hours prior to prescribing lenalidomide for
Cycle 1 (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days) and must either commit to
continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of
birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE
SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. Females of child
bearing potential (FCBP) must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree
to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a
successful vasectomy.
- Subjects must be able to give informed consent

Anyone who follows the CCW*TV Companion Blog or watches my rants on CCW*TV will not be surprised to read that I have become increasingly disenchanted with the Big 2 comic publishers. Lame "blockbuster" events, rising cover prices, gratuitous deaths and clichéd storytelling are only a few of the problems that currently bother me. That's not to say there aren't any mainstream comics that I currently enjoy on a monthly basis. I do. They just seem too few and far between nowadays.
The escalation of mean spiritedness, bloodshed and misogyny in American comics has become quite tiring. As a result of the persistent problems I'm having with the mainstream superhero books, I have rediscovered a lost love of mine: Manga.
Even though U.S. comics were my introduction to the wonderful art form known as sequential art– Manga soon crept in and overtook my love for most capes and cowls… And I am quite certain that my affinity for anime had something to do with it.
Japanese produced animation has always struck a deep chord with me… Much more so than any old Hanna-Barbera "cartoon" ever could. Was it the seriousness of the subject matter, the captivating action sequences or how the animation cells meshed together so fluidly? If I had to choose between these reasons– I would choose all three.
After watching my first episodes of Battle of the Planets, Captain Harlock— and eventually Robotech– how the hell could I ever be content to watch Scooby Doo?
In the late 80's I was a complete, unapologetic Marvel Zombie. I did not care for anything DC offered– nor had my horizons expanded to vast and fertile area of independent comics. That entire mindset changed one day while I was looking through a friend's stack of books and came across a comic called Xenon.
The artwork on the cover caught my eye– feeling very familiar to me. Not because it resembled any of the comics I had been reading but because it looked more like the great anime I had been watching.
Though the cover illustration was in color I soon realized that all the interior pages were in black and white. The concept wasn't completely foreign to me as I had seen a couple of TMNT comics by this point… But Xenon just felt different from any book I had seen. The artwork was dark and gritty. Backgrounds and cityscapes were drawn with the precision of an architect. It had intricate robotic designs for the hero and the villain's alter egos. All of this set against the backdrop of a Japanese high school.
Whatever this comic was about didn't matter to me. All I knew was that I had to read it right away– along with every other issue my friend had collected.
Soon I was adding all kinds of Manga books to my weekly pull list. The more Manga that became available (at the time it was a fairly slow trickle)– the more I wanted to buy. Titles like Appleseed, Ranma ½, Maison Ikkoku, Gunhed, Silent Mobius, Urusei Yatasura, Fist of the North Star and Nausicaa. As well as Ninja High School, The Dirty Pair and Gold Digger— all comics drawn by Americans with a profound influence from Japanese artists and anime.
These books gave me something that American comics couldn't (or wouldn't)– huge amounts of imagination. Where regular superhero comics seemed grounded in a reality populated by fantastical and impressive beings– the entire world of Manga seemed gloriously overloaded with the fantastical and the impressive. Each book had its own reality, not a shared one, and I seemed to never tire of discovering new worlds with each new manga I started to read.
Thanks to the efforts of a growing number of companies like Viz and Dark Horse— Manga became even more predominant on comic shop shelves as the years passed. As anyone with a passing interest in the genre knows, Manga has since exploded far beyond comic specialty stores and now reaches the mainstream via national bookstore chains like Borders and Barnes & Noble.
A while ago Insideman contacted me about writing a Manga column for his Swear All you Like Blog— or maybe even a series of reviews. Whether this column becomes a reality on a regular basis remains to be seen– as life, work (and fun) always have a way of interrupting the best of plans. Still, I went back and forth concerning what topic to write about, what book to review for this post– and finally settled on letting you in on "where I'm coming from" when I am enjoying (and possibly even reviewing) manga.
Giving some background on what this art medium means to me– and the years I've been invested in it– may give you a better understanding of any future reviews. I was there almost at the beginning of the Manga industry in America… And to see it grow so vast in the last couple of decades simply amazes me.
It's becoming tougher to find great books out there as the industry keeps growing– then contracting– and growing again. With a crowded field of books and various Manga companies starting , suspending or ceasing publication, hopefully I can steer you in the right direction. I want to help you experience some of the best the genre has to offer.
So, thanks Marvel and DC! If it weren't for your poor attempts at keeping this comic fan satisfied– I may never have rediscovered my long-lost love.
(Besides reading Manga for more than half of his life, Jose Melendez has also been a comic book retailer for almost 18 years. He is the co-host of CCW*TV— where he attempts to make the show somewhat entertaining on a weekly basis— despite the "best efforts" of co-host Elliott who tends to ruin everything with his boring, stale personality. Jose is also the main contributor on the CCW Companion Blog.
His only regret in life is breaking up with a very cute and kind redhead 10 years ago for no good reason. Please learn from this and don't make the same mistake yourself… Or else alcohol will most likely play a big part in your future lifestyle.)

Windows Desktop Search
Please help to improve this article by expanding it.
Windows Desktop Search (or Windows Search) is a 'desktop' indexer for Microsoft Windows. In Windows XP, Search 4.0 (or Search XP) was an add-on. However Microsoft integrated Search into Windows Vista as 'part of the package'.
The artifacts in the Windows Search database can be useful in forensic analysis of a desktop Windows system, especially Windows Vista and later. A few applications are:
- to (partial) recover the content of indexed documents and even email messages stored on a Microsoft Exchange server
- to indicate the former existence of files
- time-line analysis
Data location
Windows Search stores its data in:
%Profiles%/All Users/Application Data/Microsoft/Search/Data/Applications/Windows/
Note that '%Profiles%' is dependent on the Windows version.
The search index is stored in a file named Windows.edb. This file is an Extensible Storage Engine Database (EDB).
To access the Windows.edb file (on a live system) the the Windows Search service needs to be deactivated and the necessary access rights are required.
Currently there are not many tools which 'forensically' allow you to analyze the Windows Search database. Some of the available are:
- esedbtools
- EseDbViewer
- eseutil or esentutl
- Windows Search Index Examiner
Dirty database
When analyzing Windows Search databases you can come across a 'dirty database'. This is one left in a dirty state. Some of the tools mentioned before fail to open these databases. You might have to resort to repairing the database or use a tools that does not have such limitations.
Obfuscation and compression
Windows Search uses both obfuscation and compression to store some of its data, but according to 'Forensic analysis of the Windows Search database' this is easily circumvented.

Cal/OSHA cites Southern California Recycling Company for multiple safety violations
Los Angeles — The California Department of Industrial Relations' (DIR) Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) yesterday issued 36 citations totaling $38,895 in penalties to American Reclamation, Inc., a solid waste company in Los Angeles, its recycling subsidiary, South Coast Fibers, Inc. and their staffing agency, Steno Employment Services, Inc.
Cal/OSHA's investigation was triggered last November by a complaint from a Southern California advocacy group about unsafe conditions workers had reported.
"This serves as a reminder to all California employers that ensuring the safety of your workers is essential," said DIR Director Christine Baker. "We stand ready to investigate complaints and enforce workplace safety laws."
One of the citations issued to American Reclamation, Inc., and two to South Coast Fibers, Inc., were for violations of Cal/OSHA standards on confined space entry procedures. Cal/OSHA has a special focus on confined space hazards this year to prevent worker deaths and serious injuries. Last year, seven workers died in California workplaces, succumbing when they entered confined spaces without an appropriate written plan, adequate training and supervision.
"Our investigation confirmed a number of serious risks to workers in the recycling industry," said Cal/OSHA Chief Ellen Widess. "Workers need to be trained on the hazards they face, and employers should have adequate safety programs in place to prevent serious injuries and illnesses. We appreciate the work of advocacy groups that educate workers on their rights and assist in bringing these kinds of workplace safety hazards to our attention so that we can do our job protecting workers."
Cal/OSHA issued five serious violations, including: a failure to follow a written program to prevent workers' entry into machinery before the energy is shut off, an unsafe work platform raised on a fork lift, and various unguarded pieces of machinery that could lead to amputations and other serious injuries.
The investigation also revealed multiple violations for the three employers which included no permit-required confined space entry programs, no heat illness prevention training, no drinking water for drivers and helpers in the field, and an inadequate injury and illness prevention program.
A serious violation is cited when there is a reasonable possibility that death or serious physical harm could result from the actual hazard created by the violation. A general violation is one in which an accident or illness may result but would probably not cause death or serious harm.
American Reclamation, Inc. is a solid waste company headquartered in Los Angeles that operates refuse collection trucks in Los Angeles County and delivers the waste to landfills. South Coast Fibers, Inc. purchases, processes and markets all recyclables such as cardboard boxes, glass, metal, plastic and paper. Steno Employment Services, Inc. provides workers' compensation insurance and payroll services to both companies.
Cal/OSHA has posted extensive information about confined space hazards on its website www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/confinedspace. These materials include a webinar for employers and employees on hazards and safe work practices.
Employers and employees can learn more about Cal/OSHA regulations and how to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses by checking the DIR website. For more information on Cal/OSHA's heat illness prevention requirements and training materials, please visit Cal/OSHA's Heat Illness web page, or the "Water Rest Shade" campaign site at www.99calor.org/campaign.
Cal/OSHA's Consultation Unit (800) 963-9424) provides free information and training on occupational safety and health hazards and ways to protect workers from heat illness, confined space hazards and other workplace hazards. Consultation Services' offices throughout the state are posted on Cal/OSHA's website.Employees with work-related questions or complaints, including heat illness, may call the California Workers' Information Hotline at (866) 924-9757.

Nestle Drives Digital Innovation
Nestle has set up an innovation outpost in Silicon Valley, Calif. to help deepen relationships with consumers online and in social media.
The aim is to enhance existing partnerships with the world's largest technology corporations while looking for pioneers among the thousands of small technology startups that Nestl can work with.
In the fast growing area of digital engagement Nestle wants to use the innovation outpost to build on the progress made in recent years to better understand consumers' needs and respond to them more quickly.
It will also help brands manage their growing fan bases – on Facebook alone, Nestle pages have more than 180 million fans, and publish more than 1,500 pieces of content a day.
Consumer benefits
"The pace of innovation taking place in Silicon Valley is really impressive," says Patrice Bula, Nestl's Head of Marketing. "Organizations there are shaping the future of consumer communication.
"We have an enormous amount of nutrition knowledge and expertise within our company. We are determined leverage this through digital technology and online content, in meaningful and engaging ways for our consumers," he continues. "Building a stronger network in the region will allow us to move faster in our efforts to combine new technology with opportunities to bring our consumers greater benefits."
Strategic partnerships
Nestl already has strategic partnerships with Facebook and Google, and is establishing close links with Twitter.
It has also created Digital Acceleration Teams at its headquarters in Switzerland - and in various markets worldwide including China, India and Italy - to help develop its relationships with consumers online. And many of the company's brands have been embracing new technology.
In September, a surprise partnership with Google saw the technology company name the latest version of its Android mobile operating system "Android KitKat", after Nestle's famous confectionery.
Earlier this year, Nestle acquired its first-ever online content property, when its Purina Petcare business bought Petfinder, a web site for pet adoption.
In February, Nestle launched a digital initiative to give consumers instant access to information about its products' nutritional profile, and environmental and social impacts, simply by scanning them with a smartphone.

Mann overboard - Josh 157
With Mike Mann's book still getting good coverage in various corners of the media I felt another cartoon was needed. Especially as another Mike, Mike Daisey, gave us such a brilliant quote: "I stand by it as a theatrical work" speaking of his made up story about the conditions at a Chinese factory which makes Apple products ( you can read the whole retraction here).
Mike Mann is not totally happy with all the PR, though, as we know from his Twitter reaction to reviews by Anne Jolis and Miranda Devine. He is probably going to be really teed off when he see this poll on the Daily Kos.
Click for a larger image
The article's title is 'Michael Mann is a Modern Hero and we need to acknowledge that!'. To date around 97% of readers do not agree and think he is either distorting evidence or should be fired from the University. That number sounds like a consensus to me.
And 'Game of Thrones'? It's an HBO blockbuster of a series based on George R R Martin's books 'A Song of Fire and Ice'. If you haven't seen the series you might not have the foggiest clue what I am referring to... but, never mind, even the title 'A Song of Fire and Ice' couldn't be more apt. And guess what the show's slogan is: "Winter is coming".

"I loved my visit to Blackberry Farm for the way it took me back to the earth-to-table rustic cooking I grew up with in the French countryside. Sam Beall's book shares the riches each crucial season can provide, from jam to ham, as well as the traditions of soul-satisfying Appalachian cooking."
–Daniel Boulud
"The sights, the sounds, the smells, the terroir… like the ingredients in a fine bourbon, those which comprise Blackberry Farm are, in essence, all about the earth. Sam Beall and I agree that the old way is often the best way. The luxurious journey through the pages of this book remind us that the purest, simplest ingredients thoughtfully and lovingly put together can result in nectar on your palate. Ask it of nature and ye shall receive!"
– Julian Van Winkle, Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
"In a perfect world, every American would have a chance to experience Blackberry Farm and taste the changing seasons. This book is the next best thing; a visit to a vanishing America that is being lovingly preserved in the Great Smoky Mountains. "
–Ruth Reichl
"I can't imagine a more perfect celebration of mountain cuisine. This elegant cookbook stirs memories of my grandmothers cooking food they had grown and preserved on wood burning cook stoves. It provides a glimpse of the incredible effort that makes Blackberry Farm truly special. It is the perfect marriage of authentic southern food indigenous to our mountains with the refined Foothills Cuisine that has elevated Blackberry Farm to the ultimate dining experience in America."
–Allan Benton, Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams
"Sounds rustic, but Blackberry Farm is a luxury resort in Tennessee known for farm-to-table food. Marbled Potato Salad With Arugula Pesto is a work of art."
–Washington Post's Top Cookbooks of 2012
"Nothing has us more ready for a rustic fall feast than the new cookbook The Foothills Cuisine of Blackberry Farm. Inside you'll find seasonal dishes (such as Fried Catfish and Cucumber Slaw), gorgeous photography, and even lessons on how to make artisanal cured meats and cheese, all from experts at the Tennessee foodie destination."
–Southern Living
"A trip to Blackberry Farm has always been on our wish list….The resort's new cookbook, The Foothills Cuisine of Blackberry Farm, celebrates life on the rolling property in East Tennessee….Lush photographs….The recipes follow a strict farm-to-table philosophy, with a dose of Southern charm (moonshine cherries, anyone?)….If we can't get to Blackberry Farm soon, at least we can have a bite of it."

lleechef Al You are going to love both bison and elk. Like moose and caribou, they're all much better than beef. I would say cook the bison like beef and the elk like venison.....maybe more of a braising mode, except the chops and tenderloin.
mayor al If you read my report on our recent Hog Hunt in Missouri, you'll understand my curiosity about the quality of Bison Steaks and Roasts. We plan to return to the Game Ranch this winter to take a Bison and perhaps an Elk also. I have enjoyed Bison Burgers and 'Buffalo Chili' but have not eaten a Steak or a slab of 'Roast Bison'. Have any of you done this? Any suggestions or recommendations regarding prep or seasoning and what to expect 'tenderness-wise'?? I have ordered some "Prime" Buffalo Steaks to try on the grill or pan-fry to give us an idea of the flavor... but am looking for feedback about Bison meat before we commit to this adventure. AL

Willy & Wally, the Cake Wreckers
"Say Wally, what did you do to this cake? The airbrushing looks horrible!"
"Really? Rats. Sorry, Willy. I was going for a 'spacey' look."
"'Spacey'? Two big red asterisks on a blue background?"
"Uh, they're supposed to be stars. You know, for Star Wars? See, the mom brought in this Darth Vader plate for reference."
[looking from plate to cake] "Well, we can't give them this - it looks more like a Spider Man or Superman cake."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. So what should I do? The airbrushing seeped into most of the icing, so I can't scrape it off."
"Hmmmm. Lemme see that plate again...and fetch me the scissors, will ya?"
"Oooh, that's MUCH better. Thanks, Willy."
"No problem, Wally. You see, with a little ingenuity, you really can save almost anything."
"You think they'll be Ok with the candles?"
"Of course! They add up to 13, right?"
"Well, yeeesss..."
"Then quit whining! Unless YOU want to go buy more '3's."
Monique R., clearly you already know the powers of the Wrecky side. Good work.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is often called the "central banks' central bank", as it coordinates transactions between central banks.
BIS points out in a new report that the bank rescue packages have transferred significant risks onto government balance sheets, which is reflected in the corresponding widening of sovereign credit default swaps:
The scope and magnitude of the bank rescue packages also meant that significant risks had been transferred onto government balance sheets. This was particularly apparent in the market for CDS referencing sovereigns involved either in large individual bank rescues or in broad-based support packages for the financial sector, including the United States. While such CDS were thinly traded prior to the announced rescue packages, spreads widened suddenly on increased demand for credit protection, while corresponding financial sector spreads tightened.
In other words, by assuming huge portions of the risk from banks trading in toxic derivatives, and by spending trillions that they don't have, central banks have put their countries at risk from default.
Remember, in the U.S., the Fed is taking toxic assets as collateral for loans, and even a freedom of information lawsuit from Bloomberg has not forced Bernanke and the boys to reveal what kind of derivatives and other junk the Fed is mopping up.
The report from BIS confirms the previous statement that central banks were watching credit default swaps as the single most important economic indicator.

Q. Does the Code allow metal piping for the interconnection of other grounding electrodes?
A. Yes. Grounding electrode conductors and grounding electrode bonding jumpers are permitted to terminate to interior metal water piping located not more than 5 ft from the point of entrance to the building/structure [250.68(C)(1)].
An Exception follows this rule and states: In industrial, institutional, and commercial buildings where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure only qualified persons service the installation, the entire length of the metal water piping system can be used for grounding purposes, provided the entire length, other than short sections passing through walls, floors, or ceilings, is exposed.

New Wheels and Air Suspension
This '67 Chevy Impala HOT ROD cover car began life as a white, six-cylinder, bench-seat cruiser from the Northwest. David Freiburger snagged it off eBay, drove it, and then did a custom vinyl wrap, long before that was considered a viable paint alternative. White with classic flames, the vinyl received mixed reviews from readers when it ran in our Sept. '10 issue. Freiburger also replaced the tired small-block with a Smeding Performance 383ci Extreme small-block and 700-R4 transmission. After the vinyl spent a couple years on the car, the Impala was professionally painted in a color we thought would be cool. We were wrong. Our solution was to gather the staff for a backyard paintjob to show readers how you can trick your friends into helping you paint your car at home without a paint booth for the April '13 issue.
Even with holes in the floorboards, holes in the seats, 50-year-old shocks, and manual drum brakes, we drove the wheels off the Impala. The Chevy had been subjected to years of abuse and cancerous rust, yet remained fairly intact. It was time to bring the rest of the car up to the standards of the paint and engine.
We installed a RideTech Airpod, a complete system with compressor, valves, air tank, and computer all bolted on a plate and ready to install. The kit uses ride-height sensors to actively monitor the suspension instead of less accurate air-pressure readings. We called upon friends from Deuces Wild Hotrods in Fillmore, California–owner John Meadows is RideTech's West Coast Rep and area expert, and his employee RJ. With their help the install was quick and easy.
While under the chassis, we upgraded to a CPP power disc-brake conversion for superior driveability–possibly the best upgrade we've made to the Impala thus far. Retailing for less than $600, the kit was well worth the money. We asked Motor Trend to baseline the Impala's stopping distances with the drum brakes using its new-car testing protocol. With manual drum brakes the Impala had similar 60–0 mph numbers to the last dump truck Motor Trend evaluated. Needless to say, the CPP disc brakes were better.
Vinyl Wrap vs. Pro Paint vs. DIY
Our Impala left the factory in Ermine White, which faded and rusted after 40 years of top-down cruising. Freiburger had the car redone with a custom flamed vinyl wrap that was a little too ahead of its time based on the feedback we got from you, so we had pro painter Pete Santini with Paint & Body By Santini in Westminster, California, paint it in a goldish-green color we thought would be cool. Strike two! Santini did an amazing job with the paint and bodywork, making our job easy when the HOT ROD staff decided to paint it Summit Racing Flame Red in former-editor Rob Kinnan's garage.

Here are a couple of my favorite toys from this year's Christmas extravaganza.
This tracing toy is very helpful to my newly turned 4 year old. When a letter is pressed, the screen lights up with dots for the child to trace to make the letter and a voice prompts the child to begin tracing, repeating what the letter is. The dots then disappear and the child can see the letter she made all by herself. Very nifty!
These crayons were a gift to the same child as above, but all the kids are loving them. They mark easily on windows and wipe right off with a damp cloth.
Here are a few of the windows that have been colored around here recently.
Or in the case of an imaginative 2 year old, you can give yourself a facial.

"The Hollow Crown" (PBS, Fridays). Here is my man Shakespeare back again, and not a moment too soon -- the best man, to steal a line from the writer himself, "either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral, scene individable, or poem unlimited."
This BBC import, arriving on our shore under the banner of PBS' "Great Performances," brings together four linked history plays: "Richard II," "Henry IV, Parts One and Two" and "Henry V," sometimes called "The Henriad." (Henry Bolingbroke, who deposed Richard II to become Henry IV, is a character in the first play as well.)
For the next month, there will be nothing on American television as good as this; just accept it, all you other programs not written by Shakespeare. You think "Breaking Bad" is heavy? It is nothing compared to the heaviness of the crown the uneasy-lying head wears, or of the "unkinged" Richard coming to terms with himself in his terminal dungeon, or the battle of Agincourt (and its prelude and aftermath), or the breaking heart of the rejected Falstaff.
The martial "Henry V" is the best known of these because of two big movies made from it (the Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh films) and that "we happy few, we band of brothers speech, but each play has its particular rewards and ways of moving you.
Four actors play the three kings -- Ben Whishaw for Richard, Rory Kinnear and Jeremy Irons for Henry IV young and old, respectively -- and Tom Hiddleston (whom American groundlings may know best as Loki in "The Avengers") as the wild-youth Hal, later the warrior Henry V. Simon Russell Beale makes an extraordinary Falstaff, Hal's substitute father figure, in whose roistering there is much melancholy. Many other faces here will be familiar not just to watchers of British television: Patrick Stewart, David Suchet, David Morrissey, Michelle Dockerey, Geoffrey Palmer, Geraldine Chaplin, James Purefoy, John Hurt and David Bradley (who would have to be here, being everywhere).
"The Michael J. Fox Show" (NBC, Thursdays). And here is Michael J. Fox back again, on the same night that Robin Williams is back again (in "The Crazy Ones," on CBS), two 20th century sitcom stars who became movie stars, who might become TV stars.
For my money, or my time, anyway, Fox's show, which mirrors his own retirement from and return to work -- the necessity that mothered this invention being, of course, his Parkinson's disease -- is the better investment. Here Fox plays not the beloved actor he is in life but a beloved New York City newsman (and family man, which he is in life). Although this is the star's first single-camera comedy -- there are practical reasons for that, obviously -- it is, down to the title and notwithstanding the Parkinson's, comfortably old-fashioned. (The envelope-pushing is built into the star's condition, as it were.)
Fox is altered, but not diminished; the boy you fell for is still present in the man. A first-rate supporting cast includes Wendell Pierce ("Treme"), Katie Finneran ("Wonderfalls") and Betsy Brandt, who has been playing Marie Schrader on "Breaking Bad" since time immemorial and for whom this job must constitute a psychic relief. Twenty-two episodes have been ordered.
"The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards" (CBS, Sunday). It's the Emmys, back again. I have said, and will say again, that who wins or does not win one of these fancy statuettes (or any other such trophies, certificates, plaques or plates) is a thing of no consequence to me. (Which, I know, is itself a thing of no consequence to the winners and to Emmy fans everywhere.) Awards are always nice for those who get them, but statistically speaking, almost no one does; to stretch a point, such contests dishonor more good work than they honor, and I find it happier to know as little as I can about who's in, out, favored to win or mocked merely for being nominated.
They are also, of course, an excuse for a television show, and as bad as these broadcasts can be, they do usually offer something worth seeing in the course of their many hours. I like dressy celebrities as well as the next human, and with Neil Patrick Harris as host, the first quarter-hour is bound to be entertaining. (At least once during the evening I will shake my head and wonder, "How does he do it?") A show-biz polymath whose enthusiasm outweighs his cynicism by just the right margin, he might have been engineered to just this end. (This week also begins the final season of his sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother," also on CBS, which I owe a marathon catch-up session.)
"Parks and Recreation" (NBC, Thursdays); "Castle (ABC, Mondays); "The Middle" (ABC, Wednesdays). Back again this week, like favorite classmates after a summer break, are three series you might catch me watching. But I don't want to find you lurking beneath my window.
The divine "Parks and Recreation," now the doyenne of NBC's Thursday night lineup -- do they still call it "must-see"? -- opens its sixth season, as "The Beverly Hillbillies" did its own sixth, with a trip to London. (Heidi Klum, of all people, is who they find.)
We have long since, in our house, worked out the math at the heart of a "Castle" mystery (it's the person you meet in the first five minutes that you don't see again until the last 10, more or less), and the off-and-on of the love thing between Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) can get to feel a little manipulative -- last season ended with her possibly decamping to Washington, D.C., to join the FBI, and him proposing. Yet this is the bantering love-and-detection series all other love-and-detection series only dream of being. And Penny Johnson Jerald is in it.
Patricia Heaton's "The Middle," moving into its fifth season, is to my mind the best family sitcom now living. Unlike nearly every other show on television, it is about people whose house is not full of fancy furniture and who struggle to get by, and who make bad decisions when they are tired, which is nearly all the time. Eden Sher's Sue Heck, whose enthusiasm is directly proportional to her incompetence, is a goddess to me, in particular, but I love all them all, all the Hecks, big and little. (Side note: A Google search for "The Middle ABC" produced this embedded advertisement: "Like The Middle? -- Watch the Michael J Fox Show on NBC." Good advice, actually!)

Although STSDAS and TABLES are still distributed through Astroconda (http://astroconda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), we only offer partial support for these packages.
TABLES provides support for tabular data for STSDAS and other packages. Many types of data are stored in tabular format, such as catalogs of astronomical objects, spectral data (e.g. columns of wavelength and flux), and coefficients of fit to data. TABLES provides a programming interface for accessing tables, and it includes a collection of utility programs for working with tables. FITS tables, STSDAS format, and simple text tables are supported. The programming interface is used for the utility programs in TABLES, by tasks in STSDAS, and by other external packages. The utility programs are used for such tasks as plotting, selecting rows based on an expression involving column values, sorting rows in a table, joining tables, and performing arithmetic operations on column values.
TABLES is an 'external package' in IRAF. That is, TABLES is not a part of the IRAF core system, but it can be obtained separately and used within the IRAF CL (or in PyRAF). From within the IRAF CL or PyRAF, TABLES can be loaded (the tasks can be made available) by typing `tables'.
The programs (IRAF tasks) in this package make use of a library of table I/O functions, which is included in TABLES. Users can write their own tasks that make use of these functions, and then link with this library. Fortran and SPP interfaces are provided in TABLES, and a C interface is included with the STSDAS package.
The TABLES package sits alongside STSDAS and provides tools and libraries for working with tabular data. STSDAS requires TABLES, but one may use TABLES without STSDAS. Together, these two packages comprise STSDAS/TABLES.
Both STSDAS and TABLES are products of the Science Software Branch at STScI.

That in itself is noteworthy because no matter how you spell it, a guy is going to drop his drawers any damn where he pleases. I'm surprised there aren't crews in orange jumpsuits scraping them off the highway like road kill.
While Margaret offers a perfectly rational explanation, I see the garage undies featured in the opening credits of a David E. Kelley dramady called Legal Briefs. Whaddya know, there actually is a show called Legal Briefs.
The ice cream flavors are Chocolate Devotion (very good, tastes like a chocolate soda), Mint Mint Chocolate Chip (excellent and refreshing), Apple Pie A La Cold Stone (a most excellent bean tasting strongly of cinnamon), and the lackluster Our Strawberry Blonde (blah, and what does that have to do with either ice cream or candy).
Great in an Easter basket, but keep away from little kids because they come in an ice cream cone shaped container with a semi-pointy bottom.
Before I answer the question, I found these Nerds while hip hopping down the bunny trail at Tarjé where they've become a major candy contender. You can pour out a handful and convince yourself that the colors make them taste even better, but can you really make Nerds taste better (aside from Nerds Rope), even nestled in a pair of bloomers? No, no you can't, but I encourage you to try.
I'm hosting next Monday, March 30, when the topic will be Easter Baskets: Share a story, is it better to give or to receive, what would you like in yours?
Sign up now, throughout the week, or wait until this Saturday when I'll start compiling a list.
