The pattern of the last several releases has been that William Gould,
President of StataCorp, announces a new release, in our case Stata 13,
to Statalist when StataCorp have an exact release date that they know
they will honour, usually a week or two before it happens. In fact,
Statalist are the first group outside StataCorp to be told.
You could try fitting a model to the past several release dates but my
guess is that it wouldn't be much use!

For those planning on heading to university having picked up their A-level results this morning, a new list of the UK's top 20 universities according to student satisfaction has ben released this week.
Yesterday saw the release of the National Student Survey results for 2015, which quizzed more than 300,000 students to get their views on undergraduate courses.
While the likes of Oxford, Cambridge and UCL may battle it out for the top spot of the THE's world university rankings, the names that top this year's student satisfaction list might not be what you'd expect.
And it's also worth bearing in mind that the institutions which recorded the best ratings of all were actually further education colleges.
Here are the universities which obtained the best scores for student satisfaction this year:
1. Brighton and Sussex Medical School
2. St Mary's University College
=3. Keele University
=3 Hull and York Medical School
=3. University of Buckingham
6. Courtauld Institute of Art
7. Harper Adams University
=8. University of East Anglia
=8. University of Essex
=8. Royal Veterinary College
=8. University of Surrey
=8. University of Winchester
=13. Conservatoire for Dance and Drama
=13. Coventry University
=13. University of Lancaster
=13. Loughborough University
=13. Newcastle University
=13. University of Oxford
=13. Bangor University
=13. Swansea University

Amazon has fixed a cryptographic hole in its EC2 and S3 services that could allow hackers to hijack customer accounts.
The signature-wrapping and cross site scripting (XSS) attacks hijacked control interfaces used to manage cloud computing resources, which allowed attackers to create modify and delete machine images, and change administrative passwords and settings.
"Effectively, a successful attack on a cloud control interface grants the attacker a complete power over the victim's account, with all the stored data included," researchers at Germany's Ruhr University wrote in a paper (pdf).
"We had full access to all customer data, including data authentication, tokens, and even passwords in clear text," researcher Mario Heiderich said.
In one attack, researchers discovered vulnerabilities in control interfaces that were vulnerable to new and known XML signature wrapping attacks.
They had generated arbitrary SOAP messages which were accepted by the control interface because application signature verification and XML interpretation were handled separately.
Full compromise required knowledge of a signed SOAP message while a single arbitrary cloud control operation could be executed with knowledge of a public X.509 certificate.
Researchers also discovered that since the Amazon shop and EC2 and S3 shared the same log-in credentials, XSS attacks launched against the complex and therefore more vulnerable shop also worked against EC2 and S3.
Similar injection attacks also worked against the Eucalyptus cloud computer software.
Amazon confirmed the attacks and closed the security holes prior to disclosure, according to Professor Jörg Schwenk, chair of network and data security at the university.
The vulnerabilities were detailed at the US-based ACM Cloud Computing Security Workshop and first reported by H-Security.
"A major challenge for cloud providers is that of the data entrusted to them, only the client should be accessible," said Professor Pan who led the team which discovered the holes.
Researcher Juraj Somorovsky said security issues such as the ones detailed in cloud computing must be assessed as the service become more popular.
"Critical infrastructure and services are making ever more use of cloud computing," he said. "It is therefore an urgent need to identify the security gaps in cloud computing".
The university cited "industry estimates' that European cloud services will more than double from 68 billion euros last year to 148 billion in 2014.

CNN newsman Anderson Cooper received a package thought to be from the ex-Los Angeles police officer-turned fugitive Christopher Dorner a week before the massive manhunt that has gripped Southern California.
"Learned today suspect Christopher Dorner sent me a parcel at CNN. Inside was a note, DVD, and a coin shot thru with bullet holes," Cooper said in a Twitter message Thursday.
Cooper was one of several news personalities praised in the lengthy manifesto that authorities said was published on what they believe is Dorner's Facebook page. The manifesto encouraged a return of a national ban on assault rifles and complimented First Lady Michelle Obama on her new bangs.

"Actually, I learned today, just today, that the suspect -- the suspect, Christopher Dorner, mailed me a parcel at my office here at CNN in New York," Cooper told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" show Thursday afternoon.

We're very excited to announce a new partnership that will provide students working on science projects with dedicated online mentors in STEM fields!
In case you're unaware, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. There is a dire need in the U.S. for people to fill STEM careers; there are many science and technology job openings, but not enough people to recruit. A major place where this problem can be addressed is within our education system.
There is an amazing initiative happening in upstate New York called the Dr. Nelson Ying Tri Region Science & Engineering Fair (Ying TRSEF). The fair was created to allow students to explore their talents and challenge their minds in STEM fields. It's available to students in grades 5-12 throughout 24 counties, which until 2006 had no regional access to the International Science and Engineer Fair.
This year, a group of these students will have the help of eMentors (provided by icouldbe.org!) during the creation of their science projects.
Ying TRSEF is engaging in a pilot program with icouldbe.org to provide students building their science projects with volunteer eMentors employed in STEM careers. These volunteers will mentor the students through the process of preparing for the fair on March 17 and 18. Using the icouldbe.org discussion boards, each mentor will help her mentee identify the science fair topic/question, make a plan to gather data to answer said question, understand ethical and safety procedures and analyze data and draw conclusions.
At the conclusion of the fair, mentors and mentees will continue the mentoring partnership by transitioning to the icouldbe.org curriculum. The mentors will then guide students through units that will help them identify future goals specific to post-secondary education and careers in various sectors.
We're hopeful that this is just the beginning of a much bigger initiative to mentor students and create an interest in STEM careers. With mentors who already have vast experience and a passion for jobs in these fields, who better to pair with students to help them realize their capabilities and dreams?
Next month we'll post an update from the science fair on March 17-18. We can't wait to see what these kids create!

Coyotes' offense being led by its defenseby Jerry Brown
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It's been more than a decade since he's seen the "Morris for Norris" signs around the Pepsi Center when he played with the Colorado Avalanche. But these days, 35-year-old Derek Morris said he's happy to be just one of the boys in Phoenix. And a part of the best NHL blue line nobody knows about.
The Phoenix defense was at it again Thursday with Morris scoring a goal, Keith Yandle adding two assists and Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Zbynek Michalek contributing an assist each as the Coyotes rallied from a 3-0 first-period hole to beat the Nashville Predators 5-4 in a shootout at Jobing.com Arena.
It marked the fifth straight game that the Phoenix defense had collected at least three points in a game -- a total of 22 points in that span.
In Phoenix – D is For Dynamic
The Phoenix Coyotes' defense core, led by Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Keith Yandle, lead the NHL in goals (12) and points (41) from the blue line entering the weekend. Ekman-Larsson, Yandle and Derek Morris are all among the top-10 scoring defensemen, and a Phoenix blueliner has scored or assisted on 31 of the Coyotes' 48 goals this season.

Yandle has eight of them, allowing him to tie Ekman-Larsson and Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues for second in the the League defensemen point race with 11. The Ottawa Senators' Erik Karlsson and P.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens are tied for first with 13 points. Yandle's 10 assists is also tied for the League lead among defensemen with Karlsson and Subban.
Morris' goal Thursday was his fourth of the season, tying him with Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and Torey Krug of the Boston Bruins for the lead among blueliners.
Heading into the weekend, the Phoenix defense corps led the NHL in goals (12) and points (41) and has figured in the scoring of 31 of Phoenix's 48 goals. They are a big reason why the Coyotes are 6-0-1 at home and off to their best start in 13 years (9-3-2) heading into their game Saturday at the San Jose Sharks, the team with the League's best record.
"They are the reason we're able to come back in games," Phoenix captain Shane Doan said of his defensemen. "Our defense is so underrated and so good, they put us in positions to be successful. As forwards we benefit from having the best puck-moving and shooting defensemen in the League."
Phoenix coach Dave Tippett stresses strict system play but gives his talented defensemen -- especially the 22-year-old Ekman-Larsson and the 27-year-old Yandle -- the green light to jump into the play and help Phoenix's forwards.
"At the start of the season we talked about how hard it is to score in this League and how we want our defense involved. And we have some players that you don't have to tell them that twice," Tippett said. "When you get down in a game -- and we've been down a lot -- a guy like Keith Yandle can really impact the game with his ability to move the puck.
"Ekman-Larsson just keeps getting better offensively and they both have responsible partners (Morris and Michalek) that allow them that freedom."
While Michalek sticks to the dirty work in his zone – his five blocked shots Thursday give him 41 for the season, second in the League behind Andrew MacDonald of the New York Islanders heading into the weekend – Morris has joined the scoring parade this season.
He had eight goals total in the previous four seasons and has had only one double-digit goal season, when he had 11 in 2002-03 with the Colorado Avalanche. He also had a career-best 48 points that season while setting up Milan Hejduk, Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg and sharing the blue line with Rob Blake.
"We all believe we can contribute in some way and we know that we need everyone because we don't have those superstars that jump out at you," Morris said. "We have a lot of depth in here and the stats are proving it.
"I think our forwards do a good job of working hard down low and keeping pucks there. We've had a tendency not to use our points much in the past. But as we start doing it and as it starts working, it's opening things up and we're getting tips and deflections and we're spreading the wealth around."
In a 5-4 win Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers, four Phoenix defensemen -- Ekman-Larsson, Yandle, David Schlemko and Michael Stone -- scored in a game for the first time since the Coyotes moved to Phoenix in 1996. Three days later Morris scored the game-winner in a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings. He has a point in eight of the 12 games he's played this season; Phoenix is 7-1 in those games.
"He's a having a heck of a year," Tippett said. "You look at the points he's put up, the minutes he plays and the situations we've put him in, he's been a really good player for us. Everyone talk about Yandle and [Ekman-Larsson], but Derek Morris has done a great job. He shoots the puck hard and is finding ways to get it to the net.
"His shot is hard and it's very underrated. The goalies know how hard he shots. And he shoots to score, not just to get it there and hope to score. He almost put [the goal Thursday] through the net."
The Coyotes will need all that firepower Saturday in San Jose when they face the 10-1-2 Sharks, who lead the NHL with 51 goals while only allowing 23, tied for third-fewest, in 13 games. That run includes a 4-1 win against Phoenix on Oct. 5 that only was that close thanks to 47 saves by Phoenix goalie Mike Smith.
"We haven't talked about out record yet because you look at the other teams like San Jose and Colorado and St. Louis and Anaheim and no one is losing," Doan said. "We know we are a good team. This is probably one of, if not the best, team I've been on here. But that isn't going to make it any easier."

Spain celebrates Euro 2012 win, despite economic woes
(AP) MADRID - Swathed in the red-and-yellow colors of Spain, tens of thousands packed central Madrid to give a hero's welcome Monday to "La Roja" -- the national soccer team that erased the country's gloomy mood by winning the Euro 2012 Championship with such flair.
With the celebrated team back home on native soil, it was time to party for a second straight night.
King Juan Carlos and members of the royal family congratulated players at the Zarzuela Palace within hours of their returning from Kiev, where they crushed Italy 4-0 to defend their title Sunday night. The Iberia plane that brought them to Madrid bore the logo "proud of our national team."
Team captain and goalie Iker Casillas proudly held the tournament cup as he emerged from the plane in Madrid with coach Vicente del Bosque.
In the palace gardens, the king, Prince Felipe, his wife, Princess Letizia, and one of the king's two daughters, Princess Elena, chatted and laughed with the players while two of the monarch's grandchildren gazed and touched the cup.
Some distance away, a multitude took up places along a 3-mile route chanting "Champions, champions!" Blowing horns, they waited in the baking sun to catch a glimpse of their heroes who were to parade in an open air bus ride through the city for a victory rally in the central Cibeles plaza.
The team's elegant performance in the Euro 2012 final raised spirits across a country drowning in financial woes and rampant unemployment. It also made them the first team ever to bookend a World Cup championship (2010) with two Euro Cup triumphs (2008, 2012).
"This is historic and I'm here to support the team. They just might be able to do it again so we can win the (2014 World Cup) in Brazil," said Jose Luis Clemente, 47, a bus inspector clad in the team jersey. "It's a rare positive point against such a terrible crisis in my country. It gives you some relief."
Still, he was realistic.
"No football win is going to solve the crisis. That's work for the economists and the politicians," he added.
The victory even had some Spaniards offering a tongue-in-cheek suggestion: Why not have them run the country instead of Spain's feckless politicians?
In one newspaper cartoon, del Bosque is surrounded by Casillas and other stars like Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, who are all dressed up in suits for a new line of work.
"The solution to our problems: the government of prime minister Del Bosque and his ministers," read the vignette in El Mundo.
As the country recovered from a national hangover of elation, pride and booze, Spaniards soaked up sweet memories of a night no one will forget. For a few hours, the realities of 25 percent unemployment, a grinding recession and a banking bailout from the European Union to the tune of up to $125 billion were put aside.
"No team has ever done what they have done, and it helps you to stop thinking about the crisis for 90 minutes during the game and the next day for the party," said Carlo del Pino, 25, a university student.
Del Pino said he hopes to teach physical education and coach one day but prospects are grim for graduates now with cutbacks in education funding, teacher pay cuts and layoffs of temporary teachers.
"I don't know where I will be working when I graduate, whether it's in Spain, Portugal or some other country," he said. "But all the Spanish kids who are here cheering the team may want to do sports because of the victory, so that could help me."
Maria Jose Herraiz, a 54-year-old homemaker, was so nervous she had to listen to the game on the radio instead of watching it on TV.
"When I heard people scream `Goal!' I would run to the TV," she said.
She called the victory marvelous, a potent shot of mood-boosting adrenalin for people sorely in need of it, but said reality would come back soon.
"It will be a sort of flower that blooms for just one day, because economic problems do not go away just because Spain wins," Herraiz said.
Her two adult children -- aged 26 and 28 --; are both still living at home. They are struggling on rock-bottom salaries as low $377 a month for half-day work despite being a computer scientist and a physicist.
Still, for one night, they came home just before dawn after a rousing celebration, their faces painted in red and yellow.

Tike Redman, the former outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles, is standing at the ready in shallow center field at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium in Newark, N.J. It's not yet noon, it's only the second inning, and the mid-August sun is beating down on him like a fire hose, soaking his navy blue cap and pinstriped uniform in sweat.
The Passaic River flows just beyond the outfield wall, past the netting that was erected eight years ago to protect the traffic on McCarter Highway from the moonshots José Canseco used to hit here. The river offers no cooling breeze. Ravaged by more than two centuries of industry, the brown waterway rushes by, as oblivious to the 32-year-old's major league dreams as it is to the dolorous landscape downriver.
Ramiro Mendoza, the long reliever from the New York Yankees' late-1990s championship teams, is on the mound, pitching with the same cool, unflappable demeanor that was last seen by a national audience when he was with the Red Sox during the 2004 American League Championship Series.
An independent minor league game against the Camden River Sharks is a long way from that magical 2004 postseason. But that's not to say it's an insignificant contest. Just like the city they're playing for, the former major-leaguers on the Bears roster are fighting – play by play, pitch by pitch – for a return to past glory.
The chances of getting back are slim. Like your better financiers across the Hudson on Wall Street, the big league general managers prefer their assets with more upside. But there are major league scouts in the stands at Bears games, even this late in the season, waiting for a glimpse of overlooked brilliance that tells them to take a gamble on a quick return on their investment.
With two outs, a runner on second, and a 3-1 count, Mendoza delivers a slider that hangs in the middle of the plate. Recognizing the mistake, the batter uncoils. Smack! The ball turns into a pea as it makes its way in the direction of the Passaic. But Redman is already in pursuit, having turned his back to the ball at the crack of the bat.
Follow the ball's flight and you can't miss the big-time backdrop in the distance. Roughly eight miles in front of Redman, the financial district of Manhattan looms. From this vantage point, the silhouettes of its skyscrapers appear as anonymous gray blocks on the horizon. But their promise is clear. If Redman runs hard enough, those blocks may come into sharper focus. For now he has to stop at the base of Riverfront Stadium's outfield wall, where, after an about-face, he looks up and snatches the ball right out of the sky.
Three outs, inning over, and Mendoza's two-run lead is safe for now.
A call to the dugout
Meanwhile, Mark Skeels, then-general manager of the Newark Bears, is awaiting Redman in the tunnel between the dugout and the clubhouse, clutching a cellphone and a piece of paper with a phone number scrawled on it.
Moments earlier Skeels had been on the phone with Joe Klein, the commissioner of the Atlantic League, for which the Bears play. The Milwaukee Brewers organization wants Redman to join their Triple-A squad ASAP, with a chance to be a September call-up with the major league team. When a major league organization says ASAP, that means Redman will need to call the Brewers to hash out the details between innings. During the game he will then run through a mental checklist of what he needs to do – basically, throw his clothes, bats, and gloves in a suitcase before hopping the next plane for redemption.
Skeels had passed the news on to Tim "Rock" Raines, the manager of the Bears who's better known for being one of the greatest base stealers in major league history. Now, as Redman trots in from center field, Raines hangs his beefy arms over the dugout fence and stares down his leadoff hitter with a devilish smile.
"Yo, Tike," he calls out. "Milwaukee wants you, man."
Redman wipes the sweat from his brow and rolls his eyes dismissively as he skips down the dugout steps, grateful for the half inning's respite from the blazing sun.
Raines is known for teasing his players – "especially … the guys who've been there before," Raines later admits – but Redman's not in the mood today. Quarter to noon is early in the day for a professional baseball player, and 95-degree weather will knock the sense of humor right out of you. And besides, Aug. 19 is late in the season for the bigs to come calling.
"I'm serious, Tike," says Raines. "Skeels is in the tunnel right now with a phone number. Milwaukee wants you to call immediately and give 'em an answer."
Redman looks up and, realizing the news is no joke, is overcome with a sense of relief. This is why he's been toiling in Newark all summer for a meager $2,000 a month, minus clubhouse dues (the fact that he has to pay them is a humiliation in and of itself). This is what he's been waiting for.
"It's just being in the big league stadium, seeing the fans, and that sense of achievement," Redman confides after the game (a 10-8 victory over the River Sharks), when asked what excites him most about the prospect of being back in a major league uniform. Redman is standing outside the showers of the Bears clubhouse now, wearing a pair of sandals and black Under Armour shorts, anxious about making his plane. "And then, you get in the batter's box and just lock in...."
Redman's eyes widen as he mimes his batting stance, looking toward an imaginary mound that features a Tim Lincecum or a Roy Halladay, or some other such major league challenge.
"I didn't know if I'd make it back," he admits. "I know I can play, I wanna do this till I'm 40. I won't know what to do after that, and was certainly not ready to figure that out, but for now, I can put off thinking about life after baseball."
A parting of friends
As if on cue, Carl Everett, the former big-leaguer and present designated hitter for the Bears, walks by my interview with Redman.
"You gonna miss him?" I ask Tike, nodding in the direction of Everett.
"Of course he gonna miss me," Everett yells over his shoulder. "That's a dumb question!"
An imposing presence by reputation alone, Everett is the archetype of the cocky superstar athlete, known as much for his controversial behavior off the field as for his production on it. But aside from his opening salvo, Everett seems to have mellowed since his time with the Red Sox in 2000 and 2001, when "MVP" chants were replaced with catcalls of "Jurassic Carl," after the slugger declared to a reporter that dinosaurs never existed.
"Carl, you gonna miss Tike?"
"Hell no!" answers Everett. "Only thing I'll miss about him is [messing] with him."
A big smile spreads across Everett's face, with gleaming white teeth clenched around what appears to be a very expensive cigar. The stogie, along with his paunch and postgame attire of jeans and a T-shirt, make Everett look more like a rap mogul than a professional athlete.
"That's it," replies Redman. "He ain't gonna have nobody to mess with no more."
The two exchange playful punches to the kidneys before saying their final goodbyes.
"A-ight, big man!" says Redman.
"A-ight, be easy, bro," says Everett.
"Yes, sir."
"You know one thing that you can't do there that you do here."
"A-ight," says Redman, knowingly.
"Any parting advice, Carl?" I ask.
"I just gave it to him," says Everett, with the weight of 14 major league seasons behind him. "But that's an inside thing. He can't tell you."
And to expect anything approaching clarity from a man known for messing with writers would be foolish.
Life after prime time
Down the hall, outside the clubhouse door, then-team spokesperson and media relations director Jesse Suskin is seated in a plastic folding chair, holding a clipboard that keeps track of who has and who hasn't paid his clubhouse dues. Dues are $7 a day during homestands and, for the most part, pay for laundry and general upkeep of the clubhouse and are collected from each player at the end of every home series.
Suskin cuts a starker contrast against the players than most front-office guys. A whip-smart 26-year-old in a polo shirt and khakis, his appearance is more suited to a Connecticut country club than a minor league ball club in Newark. Collecting clubhouse dues is not part of Suskin's job description, but having recently lost their interns, the front-office staff has lately needed to chip in with such unpleasant tasks.
"They don't want to pay them, and I don't want to collect them," says Suskin, after the first group of players begrudgingly hands over untidy wads of crumpled bills. And though the whining from the players can be a bit much at times, Suskin is sympathetic. After all, it was less than a year ago that he was reporting to work in the Bush White House, where he worked for both the Presidential Advance Team and the Communications Office. Just like the former major league players adjusting to life in the Atlantic League, Suskin is making the best of his own wilderness.
I ask him how he made the adjustment from briefings with the leader of the free world to this.
"The same as the players do," says Suskin, with a smile that's upbeat and hopeful.
For some, however, the transition can be a bit rough. As Suskin tends to his clipboard, ticking off the names of a group of players who just paid their dues, Scott Williamson bursts through the clubhouse doors. Even before he's asked to cough up his share, he looks angry. A Louisiana country boy with close-cropped blond hair, Williamson is even more out of place in Newark than the former Republican operative asking him for his money. As a new member of the team, this is the first time Williamson has had to endure the humiliation.
"How much is it?" he asks in a thick Southern accent.
"Seven dollars a day," says Suskin. "It's a three-game series, so that's $21."
Williamson rifles through a wad of bills while muttering a list of complaints under his breath.
Then, out loud: "Don't even get no food?... [B]rutal."
With that, Williamson slams the cash into Suskin's hand and storms off. As he disappears down the hall, it's easy to understand Williamson's anger. Ten years ago, as a relief pitcher with the Cincinnati Reds, he was named National League Rookie of the Year. Today, in a barnburner that saw eight different pitchers take the mound, he didn't even get to warm up.
"It's a difficult road," says Skeels, of these former MLB players trying to get back to the bigs. "Hoping that there's somebody out there that's watching and been paying attention, that there's somebody out there that'll value what you know you can still bring to the table."
A way back to glory
Skeels played independent ball himself, back in the mid-1990s, before he moved on to law school and a career as a prosecutor in southern California, and eventually to the front office of the Newark Bears.
"Back then," he says, "playing in an independent league was really a fall from grace for the guys who were up in the bigs. But today, guys recognize that it can really be a way back for them. Just like Tike. He's the story that keeps many players coming back to Newark. The idea that, 'I can get noticed again, and I can get back to the big leagues.' It's not an unfounded hope. That's why Scott's here. And though he may not be too happy right now, I think he's got a pretty good shot of getting back to the show."

Ariana Grande Worked It in a Red Dress at 2013 American Music Awards [RED CARPET PHOTOS]
Ariana Grande sparkled in a floor-length scarlet dress on the 2013 American Music Awards red carpet. It's not often that the singer opts for something this long, but we love it! Since there is a lot of sparkle going on in the sequin-covered gown, we like that Ariana kept her makeup and accessories minimal. Her black clutch is the perfect accent to the trim on the dress.
Simply radiant.
Her hair is loose and wavy -- perfect for this dress!
Wowzas! Check out the rock on her finger!

While I hope he stays with SS, hasn't he been with them since 2004? 9 years is a long time. That's his entire professional kiting career so if he decided to try something else out that might just mean it's time to move on. There doesn't always have to be dirt about one party or the other.
Len10 isn't really out there competing in events and he doesn't ride the kites that SS sells in quantity. So, you really have to put a price on how valuable it is for SS to have the megaloop king on their brand? How much is that worth? If they decided to cut Len10 they could probably sign up 4 up and coming groms for what they are paying Ruben and will have a much wider reach in the market. If they choose wisely, one of those groms could be the next Ruben or Ben Wilson.

Q. On a 3-phase, 4-wire, 480/277V service, a question has arisen as to the required rating of the service disconnect. The calculated load is 780A. The fusible disconnecting means is rated at 1,000A, based on the maximum fuse size that can be installed. What is the minimum rating of the service disconnect permitted for this application?
- All of the above
Answer: C
As per the second paragraph of 230.95, "The rating of the service disconnect shall be considered to be the rating of the largest fuse that can be installed or the highest continuous current trip setting for which the actual overcurrent device installed in a circuit breaker is rated or can be adjusted."
The calculated value in this example would have permitted an 800A rated disconnecting means, however, because of the possibility of a 1,000A rated fuse being installed in this disconnect, the rating of this disconnect shall be a minimum of 1,000A.

The War Years
On this day in 1764 in the British colony of North Carolina was born a general. Although he was widely heralded as an Indian fighter and brigade commander of the War of 1812, General David Blackshear of Laurens County rarely led his men into battle. Blackshear had seen war all too closely, watching his oldest brother James being killed by Tories during the American Revolution. This is the story of General David Blackshear, the soldier, planter, surveyor, and public servant during the years of the War of 1812.
Known to many as "The Second American Revolution," the War of 1812 began with a declaration of war by President James Madison on June 18, 1812 following a ten-year series of skirmishes at frontier outposts, impressment of sailors on the seas, and blockades of shipping. It was on the 4th of July in 1812, some three dozen years after America first declared its independence from the King of England that soldiers of the Georgia militia rendezvoused in Dublin to launch an attack on British fortifications in Florida, which would not become part of the United States until six years later.
During its regular session, the Georgia legislature on December 9, 1812, appointed David Blackshear to command the 2nd Brigade of the 5th Division of the state's militia. Dr. William Lee commanded the first division.
Blackshear's first known call to duty came in early August 1813, when Georgia governor David Mitchell wrote the general to move his brigade to the frontier and adopt measures to afford some security for the fearing inhabitants. Gen. Blackshear ordered Lt. Col. Ezekiel Wimberly to immediately man three forts: Twiggs, Telfair, and Jackson along the line of the frontier, then the Ocmulgee River. Blackshear ordered Col. Allen Tooke of Pulaski County and Major Cawthorn of Telfair to immediately do the same.
The General set out on a patrol to inspect the forts and reported back to the Governor, "I found the inhabitants in a high state of alarm - an immense number of whom had left and fled to the interior." Blackshear immediately began preparations to lay out an additional ten forts along the frontier, each manned by one subaltern, a sergeant, a corporal and fifteen privates and each approximately ten miles equidistant.
My mid-September, Gen. Blackshear reported that all threats of an eminent invasion had subsided, at least for the present. By mid-November, tensions along the Ocmulgee once again began to rise. Major General David Adams ordered Blackshear to send some of his best men to join a force of 157 men and to go out to the frontier to make improvements to existing fortifications and erect new ones and to report his activities to Major James Patton at Fort Hawkins.
On January 4, 1814, the newly elected Georgia governor Peter Early, a former judge of Laurens County Superior Court, replaced the ailing General John Floyd with his old friend, David Blackshear to command the army from Georgia in the lower Flint River region. Blackshear reported that a great number of his men were sick and that he needed substantial reinforcements to aid his 700-man force in guarding his forts and supplies, not to mention the effort to drive away the hostile Indians, all the Negroes, and the British forces at the mouth of Flint River.
Two years after the war began, Gov. Early reappointed Gen. Blackshear to command a brigade of first class militia along with Gen. Floyd. (LEFT) Blackshear responded, "Sir, I am at all times ready promptly to accept that or any other appointment you may think proper to confer on me in which it is in my power to serve my country."
Just as was the case in previous Septembers, tensions along the Georgia frontier began to explode. Blackshear ordered several units to move out from Hartford, opposite present day Hawkinsville. Adjutant General Daniel Newnan informed Blackshear that 2500 men would be needed to support General Andrew Jackson, then in the vicinity of Mobile. Several units from Blackshear's command were detached for that purpose.
Ten days before Christmas, Blackshear and his brigade received orders to move from their encampment at Camp Hope, two miles north of Fort Hawkins on the Milledgeville Road in present day Macon, to Hartford and then to open a road to the Flint River, where he was ordered to erect fortifications. No one in Georgia even realized that the war with Great Britain officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on Christmas Eve while Blackshear and his men were camping on the banks of the Ocmulgee.
Blackshear's men spent Christmas at Camp Blakely, two miles from present day Hawkinsville before moving west toward his objective on the Flint River. Blackshear reported that he arrived on January 6 "without forage and not many rations on hand." Blackshear continued his march, oblivious to the fact that two days later, General Andrew Jackson's command defeated the British at the war ending Battle of New Orleans.
With no instant communications informing him that hostilities had officially ended, Blackshear marched his men, many of whom were sick, south and west from their Flint River base. On January 14, Blackshear received orders to return to Fort Hawkins. Within a week, Blackshear was back at Fort Hawkins, where he begged Farrish Carter, of Baldwin County, to furnish him with 30,000 badly needed rations. Blackshear implored, "Our country is invaded; and I hope in God you will use every exertion in your power to facilitate the movement of the troops to check the insurrection and depredation that will ensue should we delay for want of provisions."
Once resupplied, at least in part, Blackshear began cutting a road down the northeastern line of the Ocmulgee and Altamaha. His destination was Fort Barrington on the Altamaha in McIntosh County. Along his line of march, Blackshear's men cut the legendary "Blackshear Road."
Reports of British activity around St. Mary's were coming in from many sources. One of those sources was J. Sawyer, possibly Jonathan Sawyer the founding father of Dublin, who reported that the British were landing on Cumberland Island. Sawyer wrote Blackshear concerning British atrocities and their movement toward Darien.
By February 4, 1815, Blackshear reported that he was some 132 miles from Hartford or just a few miles from Fort Barrington. Upon his arrival in Darien, David Blackshear reported, "We have been in a constant state of alarm, and the principal inhabitants, remonstrating against my leaving this station."
Just as he was making plans to move toward the enemy, General Floyd wrote to Blackshear, "The official accounts of a peace having been concluded between our country and Great Britain appear to have filled the hearts of the populace here (Savannah) with joy." And, just like that it was over. After formally winding up their affairs, Blackshear's men were discharged and went back their homes in East Central Georgia.
Thus ended the middle and most widely heralded chapter in the epic life of General David Blackshear - soldier, statesman and citizen. Blackshear returned to his Springfield home in Laurens County, where he spent the last twenty two years of his life serving the people of Laurens County and Georgia.

Germany's oldest party riven over whether to back talks with Angela Merkel's conservatives
Leading Social Democrats in Germany are engaged in a fierce battle of wills ahead of a crunch vote on Sunday over whether to endorse in-depth coalition negotiations with Angela Merkel's conservatives.
The party has become the focal point of a tense political drama almost four months after an inconclusive election left Germany in a state of limbo. If delegates at a special conference on Sunday vote against a grand coalition, Germany will be heading either for new elections or a minority government, neither of which is a popular choice and will leave Merkel's political future hanging by a thread.
Martin Schulz, the SPD's embattled leader, has been criss-crossing the country this week in an effort to secure party members' backing for a deal. He said on Wednesday it was difficult to tell whether he had the support of enough delegates.
Schulz said he was encouraged by signs that members had been "drawn together through our exchanges rather than torn apart" before the conference in Bonn.
But the SPD faithful are riven over the issue, with some arguing that to enter into another grand coalition, or "GroKo", with Merkel's conservative alliance could further damage the party's popularity and possibly even lead to its disintegration.
The rise of the rightwing populist and anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) looms large in the debate. Some in the SPD say that by siding with Merkel, the party would ease the way for the AfD – which entered the Bundestag for the first time in September – to become the largest opposition force in parliament.
Sigmar Gabriel, the party's former leader and now the foreign minister, said the world was looking to Germany to find a swift solution. "It is no exaggeration: this coming Sunday it's not only Europe that is looking spellbound at the SPD party conference, but many people far further afield. The world will be watching Bonn for real on Sunday," he said.
The looming decision has plunged Germany's oldest political party into nothing less than an existential crisis. Leading the opposition to a coalition is the party's youth wing, the Jusos (Young Socialists), who have coined the phrase "NoGroKo" to sum up their campaign against what they say would be nothing short of a betrayal of social democratic values.
Schulz has concentrated his campaigning efforts on Germany's largest state, North Rhine-Westphalia, home to about a quarter of the 600 delegates due in Bonn. The state's SPD faction – unlike others elsewhere in Germany – has declined to publicly position itself ahead of the vote.
Walter B. Cannon , a Harvard physiologist, questioned the James-Lange theory on the basis of a number of observations; he noted that the feedback from bodily changes can be eliminated without eliminating emotion; that the bodily changes associated with many quite different emotional states are similar, making it unlikely that these changes serve to produce particular emotions; that the organs supposedly providing the feedback to the brain concerning these bodily changes are not very sensitive; and that these bodily changes occur too slowly to account for experienced emotions.
Cannon and a colleague, Philip Bard, proposed an alternative arousal theory, subsequently known as the Cannon-Bard theory. According to this approach, the experience of an event, such as the automobile accident mentioned earlier, leads to the simultaneous determination of emotion and changes to the body. The brain, upon receiving information from the senses, interprets an event as emotional while at the same time preparing the body to deal with the new situation. Thus, emotional responses and changes in the body are proposed to be preparations for dealing with a potentially dangerous emergency situation.
In 1962 the American psychologists
Giuseppe Zanotti Perforated Leather Sandals w/ Tags Outlet Wholesale Price Many Kinds Of Sale Online Amazon Cheap Price New Arrival Online Cheap 2018 N72n2EGZdB
and Jerome Singer performed an experiment that suggested to them that elements of both the James-Lange and Cannon-Bard theories are factors in the experience of emotion. Their cognitive-physiological theory of emotion proposed that both bodily changes and a cognitive label are needed to experience emotion completely. The bodily changes are assumed to occur as a result of situations that are experienced, while the cognitive label is considered to be the interpretation the brain makes about those experiences. According to this view, one experiences anger as a result of perceiving the bodily changes (increased heart rate and breathing, adrenaline production, and so forth) and interpreting the situation as one in which anger is appropriate or would be expected. The Schachter-Singer model of emotional arousal has proved to be popular although the evidence for it remains modest. Other researchers have suggested that bodily changes are unnecessary for the experience of emotional arousal and that the cognitive label alone is sufficient.
The relationship between changes in arousal and motivation is often expressed as an inverted-U function (also known as the Yerkes-Dodson law). The basic concept is that, as arousal level increases, performance improves, but only to a point, beyond which increases in arousal lead to a deterioration in performance. Thus some arousal is thought to be necessary for efficient performance, but too much arousal leads to

or stress, which degrades performance.
The search for a biological mechanism capable of altering the arousal level of an individual led to the discovery of a group of
(nerve cells) in the

named the reticular activating system , or reticular formation. These cells, which are found along the center of the brain stem, run from the medulla to the thalamus and are responsible for changes in arousal that move a person from sleeping to waking. They are also believed to function in relation to an individual's attention factor.

WOOLWICH, Maine — The trail grooming machines are sitting idle, and have been for weeks.
There's no point starting them up, after all, if there's no snow to groom on the trails. As a nearly-barren January for snowmobiling in Maine extends into February, and spring only six weeks away, people who like to go sledding are looking to the skies for white gold.
"You'd need at least six inches to go out, and you wouldn't want it to be the soft, fluffy stuff," said Mary Wright, a member of the Nequasset Trailbreakers Snowmobile Club. "We still hold out hope. We just try to keep our spirits up."
Early forecasts for perhaps a foot of snow Friday into Saturday may help locally.
And it better, unless you're headed far, far north, Wright said.
She knows. She and her husband, Gary, attended the annual Snowmobile Ride-In last weekend in Newport.
"There was nothing there," she said. "You've got to go way north. Die-hard snowmobilers will go where there's snow."
The Nequasset Trailbreakers, meanwhile, are looking forward to their annual fishing derby, scheduled for Feb. 17 on Nequasset Lake.
Perhaps the date will prove to be good luck for snowmobilers. It's the 61st anniversary, after all, of the great blizzard of 1952, when Portland got nailed with 25.3 inches of snow and 8-foot snowdrifts.
You don't need snow to go ice-fishing, but the ladies of the club do sled to the clubhouse on Western Road with food for the event.
Bob Meyers, executive director of the Maine Snowmobile Association, said Tuesday he has heard widely differing projections on the amount of Friday's snowfall.
"There's a raging debate," Meyers said. "The European models say we're going to get hammered."
Regardless, Meyers is undaunted.
"The good news is," he said, "everything's frozen now. You get some snow on top of that, we're in good shape. Rumors on the demise of the snowmobile season are greatly exaggerated."
Still, Meyers admits, there is the "psychological effect" of the lack of snow in these parts.
"You see brown," he said. "It's the backyard effect. This hurts the little gas stations, and the dealers. I took a long ride in early January, and all the trails I saw were open."
There's little doubt Maine is in the midst of a long-term snow drought.
U.S. Geological Survey data show Maine's deepest snow on Jan. 5, 2010, was 29 inches, in Aroostook County. The minimum was 6.4 inches, in Falmouth.
On Jan. 4, 2012, the USGS surveyed 59 sites across the state and found only 16 had any measurable snow at all. Thirty-eight sites had no snow, with the deepest snowpack in the state a puny 6 inches — about 80 percent below the prior year.
Meyers says the amount of snow needed for snowmobiling isn't universal, depending in part on where a trail is and how many obstacles need to be covered, but he considers 6 inches a minimum.
Data show snowmobile registrations in Maine have dropped about 10 percent from the all-time high of 107,285 in 2002-03.
The 90,892 registrations in 2009-10 were the fewest since what Meyers calls the "disastrous" 2005-06 season, the snowless one that prompted the industry and Maine's congressional delegation to successfully lobby for "lack of snow" to be included in the list of conditions for federal low-interest disaster aid.
For his part, Meyers is headed to Lincoln this weekend, for the inaugural Maine Wind Trail Ride.
Snowmobiling conditions are excellent, he said, in Jackman, Millinocket and Rangeley.
"It's a big state," Meyers said.
Meyers advises snowmobilers to check the website mainesnow.com, which features regular updates of trail conditions.
"Typically, January is the cold month and February is the snow month," he said.

It's unlikely you've ever picked up a phone and said, "Hey, this would be great for building spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations!" Yet vendors are developing mobile document viewers and editors in abundance for iPhones, Androids and other smartphones, and now tablets as well.
You may not want to write more than a sentence on a phone, but people are increasingly leaving laptops behind when they go on business trips or vacations, packing only a tablet and perhaps a Bluetooth keyboard.
The biggest office software vendoe, Microsoft, doesn't make office software for any of the popular tablets, leaving the innovation to smaller companies. With that in mind, I recently interviewed David Halpin, vice president of engineering at QuickOffice, to get his take on the state of mobile documents.
QuickOffice is one of the most mature and widely used office platforms for smartphones and tablets, having been pre-installed on or downloaded to 375 million devices. The software is a Microsoft Office replacement, displaying and editing word processing documents, spreadsheets and presentations in Microsoft format, while integrating with Google Docs and popular online filesharing platforms such as DropBox.
At £12 a pop, QuickOffice is the most popular fee-based business application in the iPad App Store, ahead of rival Documents To Go, and is the fourth highest grossing iPad app across all categories.
Why doesn't QuickOffice face any competition from Microsoft? Although Microsoft has built a OneNote application for iPhone and hasn't ruled out bringing the rest of Office to iOS, Halpin believes Microsoft will continue focusing on Windows phones to the exclusion of rival platforms. The only mobile version of the whole Microsoft Office suite is built for Windows Phone 7.
Microsoft dominated the office market by first capturing the desktop OS market and linking Windows and Office, Halpin notes. By keeping Office on Windows Phone 7 and future Windows tablets, Microsoft can tell enterprises that full Office capabilities including integration with Exchange and SharePoint require Windows phones.
Building Office apps for iOS would be akin to "giving arms to the enemy" in Microsoft's view, Halpin says. "I don't think it's a technical problem at all" preventing Microsoft from building for iPhone and Android, he says. "I think it's a deliberate decision to stay out of that market."
Microsoft's Office Web Apps can be accessed from any browser, but its functionality is limited on desktop computers and even more limited in a phone browser. Unlike Google Docs, Office Web Apps doesn't allow editing in a phone browser or on the iPad.
Editing Microsoft Office documents on a phone or tablet therefore requires a third party application, such as QuickOffice. While most users would rather save heavy editing for a desktop or laptop, QuickOffice is used by many, even on phones.
"Even though some people write term papers with QuickOffice on a mobile phone, I'm not sure that's how I would use the application," Halpin says. "We find people who are serious writers or serious accountants doing pivot tables or massive calculations, clearly you can't do those types of things."
While Google Docs is known to lose some of the formatting of Microsoft Office documents, Halpin says QuickOffice preserves all formatting by displaying the documents in their original formats, rather than converting them into a different one.
Even though the viewing experience is robust, QuickOffice doesn't offer every editing function Microsoft does. That's no surprise given that "Microsoft has thousands of people working on Office for decades," as Halpin says. First and foremost, tools like QuickOffice must provide a perfect viewing experience, with some modifications such as letting text wrap more frequently so users don't have to scroll left and right to see an entire document.
Though it's not as extensive as Microsoft Office for desktops, QuickOffice provides the basic editing tools most users would want on phones, and "as we do move to tablets, that gap narrows," Halpin says.
Rather than blowing up the QuickOffice phone app to tablet size, the company built the tablet app from the ground up, making it behave similar to a desktop application but with touch gestures. As Microsoft's Office team continues to shun the iOS and Android markets, QuickOffice is examining how its own product can integrate with Microsoft's new cloud service, Office 365, as well as Apple's iCloud.
"People, quite frankly, want to use the tablet as a desktop replacement, and they're expecting applications to behave and support the same capabilities," Halpin says.
QuickOffice, which was spun out of Palm in 2002, builds apps for iPhones, iPads, Android, Symbian and Palm (now HP's webOS). QuickOffice does not support Windows Phone 7, ceding the Windows mobile market to Microsoft. QuickOffice also stays away from BlackBerry, which has backed the Documents To Go product line.
Apple, meanwhile, offers its own Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the iPhone and iPad, but the products primarily work with Apple's own document formats rather than Microsoft's. Pages is the highest grossing iPad application.
But according to Halpin, Apple has worked with QuickOffice to optimise its software for iOS and ensured that its own productivity tools would not harm QuickOffice's business. Conversely, QuickOffice is capable of viewing Pages documents, but can't edit them.
"We have a great relationship with Apple," he says. "They understand that their bread and butter comes from third party developers. They've done a lot of work with our product to make it work better and look better."
