CUPERTINO -- After what must have seemed an interminable dry patch for Apple fanboys and girls everywhere, the company is expected Tuesday to announce two new products, both of them new iPhones, one of them considerably less expensive than the other.
It's been a year since Apple's last major rollout, when it unveiled the iPhone 5, and the blogs and press reports have been speculating in overdrive what the Cupertino tech giant has up its sleeve this time around.
Fans would love to see something truly revolutionary from Tuesday's announcement, such as a smartwatch or a new Apple TV. But the consensus is that the announcement at Apple's Cupertino headquarters will feature a new iPhone 5S with a faster processor, as well as a cheaper model -- dubbed by bloggers the "iPhone 5C'' -- which should bolster the company's sales in China, where consumers have been clamoring for such a gadget.
The lower-cost phone will reportedly feature the same screen size as the iPhone 5, but sport a tough plastic back and come in multiple colors, including blue, lime green, yellow and white, which analysts say should be popular with Asian consumers.
"It's a very good direction that Apple is launching its latest model so soon in China, when its brand attraction is on the decline," Nicole Peng, an analyst at Canalys, told Reuters. "It is a sign that they value the Chinese consumers."
Apple's announcement Tuesday could well be overshadowed by a second announcement the company has scheduled for Wednesday. It's expected at that time to announce a new deal to sell iPhones through China Mobile. With 710 million customers, the carrier would make a powerful partner for Apple, which has been working to boost its presence in the world's largest smartphone market.

Story from the Field: Achieving High Rates of Vaccination among Healthcare Workers and Children
April 20. 2010
Exceptional Rates Boosted by Established Partnerships
The Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) may not be able to reach its goal of vaccinating 50 percent of its residents by the end of the year. But the health department has seen many local successes in terms of vaccinating school-aged children and healthcare workers.
Healthcare Workers at the Front of the Line
The poor rates of vaccination among those working in hospitals and other healthcare facilities was highlighted during this year's pandemic. Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, mentioned the problem on Monday during a speech to the National Immunization Conference in Atlanta.
"We shouldn't have to convince health providers that vaccines are safe and that they work," said Sebelius. "But, despite the fact that we had more health providers than ever getting vaccinated last year, there was still a sizable number who did not."
Humboldt County Forges Ahead
Most importantly, the pandemic situation showed the importance of school-based vaccinations and national advocacy to ensure funding for such public health programs. Currently, the health department does not have the funding to conduct annual flu vaccine clinics, but is working with the Health Officers Association of California on securing grants. The hope is that federal funding will aid in protecting school-aged children against future influenza outbreaks.

Residents in the remote areas of far east Mesa were entertained when a young black bear ventured into their neighborhood Tuesday evening, but officials said getting too close to one of the state's signature wild animals is no laughing matter.
The bear ventured most likely from the high country northeast of Mesa after a winter of hibernation and looking for an evening meal, said Gray Stafford, director of Conservation at the Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium, who also has a home in nearby Fountain Hills.
It was spotted in a residential area near Sousa Elementary School in the area of University Drive and 112th Street just before 10 p.m.
"It's a young bear," said Arizona Game and Fish Officer Brian Marshall. "Young bears are often expanding, looking for new territory, and sometimes get a little off course, or a little hungry and come looking for food or other resources and end up where they weren't meant to go."
Mesa police Lt. Brian Soller, one of the first officers to arrive where the bear was spotted, said there were a lot of people in the neighborhood and additional officers were called to keep the curious onlookers a safe distance from the bear.
"We got lucky," Soller said, adding that it was fortunate the bear arrived late in the evening when no children were out playing.
The bear ran into a grassy fenced area north of the school where police were able to contain it, Soller said.
He said the public needs to keep in mind that bears are wild animals, and when you see them, "don't chase them or get close to them."
Police were able to use sirens and spotlights to keep the bear contained until Game and Fish officials arrived and tranquilized the animal.
It was loaded into a cage and Wednesday morning was taken to an area where the bear and the public would be safe, Marshall said.
Soller said this is the third bear call he has been on, and the others happened during a drought season when food is scarce and the animals are forced to forage closer to civilization.
Bob Webb has a koi pond in his backyard and thought the bear might be trying to get to the fish.
"It's pretty strange. I haven't seen anything like this before," Webb said.
Deedra Gardner and her family watched the events unfold from their upstairs balcony through binoculars. Her son, Conner, thought it was "really cool and exciting to watch it run around."
Stafford said Arizona has a healthy black bear population and was not surprised to hear of a bear moving into the Valley this time of year.
"They are just waking up from their winter hibernation and looking for food. They're hungry," he said.
He said bears spend most of their waking hours foraging for foods such grasses and seeds early to flowers and berries as the summer wears on.
He said people should try to help limit the suburban food supply by securing their trash.
"Especially if you live in outlying areas or in the high country," where bears are most prevalent. He said bears are always looking for an easy meal.

A landslide derailed the last three cars of an Amtrak train just before 9 a.m. Sunday, but the cars remained upright and no one was injured.
The slide was between the Port of Everett's south terminal and lower Howarth Park, said Rick Robinson, fire marshal for the Everett Fire Department.
The fire department responded with three ladder trucks and several medic units, but no one required treatment at the scene, he said.
Three rail cars remained blocking the tracks. The rest of the train was detached and continued on to Mukilteo to discharge passengers, Robinson said.
The slide was enough to "tip the rails over," he said. "Not the cars, just the rails," Robinson said.
It wasn't immediately clear how long the tracks would remain closed.
More details about the effect on travel will be posted as they become available.

High Performance Computing architectures are expected to change dramatically in the next decade as power and cooling constraints limit increases in microprocessor clock speeds. Consequently computer companies are dramatically increasing on-chip parallelism to improve performance. The traditional doubling of clock speeds every 18-24 months is being replaced by a doubling of cores or other parallelism mechanisms. During the next decade the amount of parallelism on a single microprocessor will rival the number of nodes in early massively parallel supercomputers that were built in the 1980s. Applications and algorithms will need to change and adapt as node architectures evolve. In particular, they will need to manage locality to achieve performance. A key element of the strategy as we move forward is the co-design of applications, architectures and programming environments. There is an unprecedented opportunity for application and algorithm developers to influence the direction of future architectures so that they meet DOE mission needs. This article will describe the technology challenges on the road to exascale, their underlying causes, and their effect on the future of HPC system design.

In 1984, Broward County Library celebrated its tenth year, a decade filled with both tremendous growth and enormous challenges. Broward County Library was coming into its own, expanding physically and increasing its access and services to even more members of the community. Now it was time to increase Broward County Library's visibility on South Florida's - and the national - literary scene.Thus the idea for Florida Center for the Book was born. Former Florida Center for the Book Director Jean Trebbi pursued the idea for a center -- the first center developed outside of the Library of Congress -- that would celebrate the literary heritage of Florida, bring readers and writers together, and to promote books, reading and libraries. Since then, Centers for the Book have been developed in all 50 states and the District of Colombia.The original Center for the Book was established in 1977 in Washington D.C.'s Library of Congress as a focal point for promoting the legacy of books and the printed word. Outside of the library, the center works closely with other organizations to foster understanding of reading, books, and literacy in society. On behalf of books, the Center for the Book serves as an advocate, a catalyst and a source of ideas, both nationally and internationally.Located at the Broward County Main Library, Florida Center for the Book strives to bring enriching literary experiences to readers throughout Florida through various avenues, including linking networks of individuals and organizations interested in books as well as developing and presenting a wide range of literary programs. In the years since its inception, The Florida Center for the Book has offered a dazzling array of presentations including:
Along with these in-house programs, Florida Center for the Book has free traveling exhibits that can be borrowed. The two current exhibits are

I just read that people appreciate an introduction, so here is mine.
I am a 25 year old person from the Netherlands and I am interested in the Latin language for a very long time now. At the moment I am attending a course to learn the basics. Ironically I have to admit I have two problems with this; I do not have a good feeling for languages* and since not so long I was diagnosed with ADD, so studying is quite hard, but I keep on trying. I guess there is a part of myself who loves to torture me
The reason I joined this forum is to look around and see if I can find useful and interesting things.
I hope this is good enough, if not, feel free to ask and I will try to answer your questions.
(* Since I am not so good with language I might make some mistakes in English as well, feel free to point out my mistakes, so I will be able to learn from it and also to avoid any annoying feelings from your side).

Jim Grabbert, a historian with the National Register of Historic Places, told me that it looks like the Ziock/Amerock building will be added to the national registry. Grabbert says he handles controversial applications and the Ziock application had not crossed his desk. That means it's likely Ziock will get the designation, probably by Friday.

Hi enock
Dear all, I am culturing the embryonic stem cells of zebrafish. My cells start to attach and form big colonies although I swirl the plate after seeding. Now, I worry that the colonies might be cancer cells, but I don't know how to distinguish them between normal colonies and cancer cells. Besides, what is the differences between embryoid body and normal forming colonies? Can embryoid body formed spontaneously?
p/s: I am using liquid medium with LIF free, the well is coated with 0.1% gelatin, and feeder free.
Thank you!
I don't know much about zebra fish stem cell markers, but you could just stain them to be sure that you have the right cells (a picture would also be nice).
In the meantime check these papers out:

NORMAN, Okla.— The No. 17 Oklahoma women's tennis team dropped their Big 12 opener as they fell to No. 33 Texas Tech (11-6, 1-2 Big 12) 5-2, Friday at the Headington Family Tennis Center.
The Sooners (10-3, 0-1 Big 12) dropped just their second doubles point of the season as they fell on courts two and three. Seniors Mia Lancaster and Whitney Ritchie were the lone win in doubles for OU with an 8-6 win over Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo.
"We're not as good of a doubles team outdoors," OU women's tennis head coach David Mullins said. "We've proven that the last two times out. Tulsa wasn't a fluke, we're just not good outdoors. We've got to find a way to get better outdoors because that's what we'll be from here on out."
The singles order for the match was shuffled as the Sooners were without Ritchie, who has compiled an 11-1 record at the No. 1 and 2 positions this season.
"It changes everything for us," Mullins said. "We lose one of our best points. She gave us everything she could in doubles but it just wasn't worth putting her in singles."
Freshman Morgan Chumney earned the first point of the night for Oklahoma with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Nikki Sanders.
Senior Hermon Brhane followed suit, tying the match at 2, with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Kenna Kilgo at the No. 1 position.
Those would be the only points scored for the Sooners as the Red Raiders won on courts two, four, five and six.
"We gave ourselves a chance but we need everything to align perfectly and that rarely happens," Mullins said. "Morgan had a big win tonight and it was great to see her get a win like that over a quality player."
The Sooners will be back on the court again Sunday, March 23, as they take on the Horned Frogs of TCU at noon.

The All-Star break is upon us. And, if the season ended today, the Orioles would be headed to the playoffs. Thursday's disaster with the Angels notwithstanding, the Orioles have reached halftime without completely faceplanting as most of us expected they would. The bullpen has been the most pleasant surprise, with an ERA still close to the best in baseball. The offense (long balls in particular) has also been a big reason for the success, with Adam Jones on pace for 40 homeruns and several others flirting with 30.
However, just like last year, the most glaring weakness has been the defense. Unfortunately, the O's also lead the league in errors, which has cost them at least three or four winnable games already this season. The other coin flip has been the starting pitching, which lately seems to always be either stellar or awful on any given night. Jason Hammel and Wei-Yin Chen are aces more often than not, but the other three rotation spots have been consistently shaky with occasional flashes of brilliance.
The Orioles have already made a splash in the trade market this year by acquiring DH Jim Thome from the struggling Phillies for a pair of minor leaguers. For awhile now, I'd been wondering if they were really serious about being buyers this year like Dan Duquette said, and if, to that end, they would be looking to pick up another legitimate starting pitcher. Today when I checked my fantasy team (the Mercersburg Rebels, currently in 1st place), the news feed told me that the Orioles are trying to make a trade with the Brewers for RHP Zack Greinke. It also mentioned that the O's have two highly-touted prospects in Dylan Bundy and Manny Machado that might be part of such a deal.
For the last few years, I've always made it a point to have Greinke on my fantasy team. He routinely goes deep into games, puts up lots of strikeouts, and has a very good ERA and WHIP. He won the 2009 AL Cy Young with the Royals, no easy feat when one considers that they've been about as bad as the Orioles over the last decade. This year, his record is 9-2, while his team is currently under .500 by five games.
So, all indications are that he would be an excellent pickup if the Orioles can pull this off. However, I would not part with Bundy or Machado to make it happen. Since Milwaukee lost Prince Fielder, they're in need of a firstbaseman. Perhaps Mark Reynolds could be part of this trade? True, he's not crushing the ball like he was last year, but Miller Park is definitely hitter-friendly. And now that the Orioles have Chris Davis, there isn't a tremendous need for Reynolds here anymore. It would also make a big dent in that error rate.
Another thing to consider here is that the era of Brian Roberts is, regrettably, over. He's given us some tremendous years, but unfortunately the Orioles simply cannot depend on him as an everyday player anymore. Therefore, letting go of Manny Machado would be unwise, because he will be coming of age right about the time when Roberts is officially finished. I don't think I even need to elaborate on why trading Dylan Bundy would be a bad move, unless of course the Brewers are offering significantly more than just Greinke.
I have to admit, it's a VERY nice thought that the Orioles' rotation could eventually consist of Hammel, Chen, Greinke, Britton, and whoever gets their act together. That, coupled with Jones, Wieters, Davis, Markakis, Hardy, and our current bullpen would almost have to be a serious contender.
However, I must reiterate that even if this becomes reality, we are not yet free of Peter The Terrible, and I still remain unconvinced that the Orioles have truly turned the corner as long as he remains in the warehouse.
What do you think? Should the Orioles trade for Greinke? Is there someone else out there you'd like to see them pursue? Comments are always welcome.

PHILADELPHIA - They are two of the most prominent personal injury attorneys in this city. They have won multimillion-dollar verdicts against manufacturers, transit authorities, hospitals and utilities. And their firm represents more of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky's victims than any other.
Matt Casey and Joel Feller trace their careers to their childhoods in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Casey, the youngest son of a Scranton political dynasty, and Feller, whose father owned and operated a pair of women's clothing factories in Hazleton, both said they learned early lessons on the importance of giving "voice" to the powerless.
"From my earliest point in childhood that I could remember, I always wanted to practice law," Feller said in an interview last week. "I always believed that people who had been injured need a voice."
Casey found inspiration in the legacy of his paternal grandfather, Alphonsus Liguori Casey, who attended Fordham University law school in New York at age 40 after a career in the Lackawanna County coal mines and a childhood cut short at age 12 by the death of his parents and the instant responsibility for raising his younger siblings.
Alphonsus, named for an Italian saint despite his Irish-American heritage, focused his second career on the work of the people, representing injured coal miners and coal workers who inexplicably lost their pensions, Casey said. He passed that philosophy on to his son, the former Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P. Casey, and his grandson, Matt, who bears Alphonsus as his middle name.
"He was my dad's hero, his absolute hero," Casey said.
Robert P. Casey, fresh from law school, took over one of those pension cases after Alphonsus' death and argued before the state Supreme Court. Robert appealed to the sensibilities of Justice Michael Musmanno, who was known to "favor the little guy in any fight," and won the pension back.
That same thinking governs the work of Ross Feller Casey, the firm Casey and Feller founded in 2006 with Robert Ross, a colleague from Kline & Specter, the firm founded by Hazleton native Tom Kline and Shanin Specter, the son of former U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.
"That whole idea of the coal region work ethic was a big part of growing up in my house and in particular in Scranton," Casey said. "A lot of that is what led me to do the work that I do. Trying to help people who are up against powerful interests, who had terrible things happen to them and need someone to fight for them."
The firm boomed quickly, growing from three attorneys and three legal aides into a statewide practice with 12 attorneys and a substantial support staff.
"We've been fortunate to have a lot of success," Casey said. "One of the distinguishing characteristics in catastrophic injury litigation is your ability to handle major cases and to obtain substantial jury verdicts. That's what we do for a living. We take every case with an eye toward trying it before a jury."
Casey's education was steeped in his family's Catholic faith, first at Scranton Prep, where he played basketball; then at Notre Dame, where he graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa; and law school at Georgetown.
Feller was born at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hazleton and spent his formative years at the Locust Street and Heights Terrace elementary schools. He attended MMI Preparatory Academy in Freeland but switched to Hazleton Area High School for the 11th grade, "really with the goal of playing baseball there," he said.
Feller, a 1986 graduate at Hazleton Area, played second base and pitched for the Cougars and worked as a short-order cook and bus boy at Franklin's Family Restaurant on Route 309.
Feller earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland in 1990 and his law degree from the Widener University School of Law in 1993.
Feller has lived in the Philadelphia area for two decades. His parents and siblings have relocated to Florida, but he still returns to Hazleton whenever he has cases in the area.
"It was a wonderful place to grow up," Feller said.
Together, Casey and Feller represent seven boys who have accused Sandusky of abuse, including the four who testified or were mentioned during Sandusky's trial: Victim 2, the boy Sandusky was assaulting in a team shower when assistant coach Mike McQueary walked in and Victims 3, 7, 10, who described for jurors a pattern of enticement, fondling and forced sexual activity.
Their involvement, Feller said, spawned out of the firm's previous work on sexual abuse cases and the relationships they had with other attorneys across the state already involved in the case.
Feller and Casey are preparing a lawsuit against Penn State, where officials were accused of a cover-up, and said they plan to attend Sandusky's sentencing Tuesday in Bellefonte.
"The degree of abuse and manipulation that our clients have been through as a result of Mr. Sandusky's abuse and now living with the knowledge that this could have all been prevented by Penn State University is hard for these young men to put into words," Feller said during the interview last week in his office on the 34th floor of the iconic One Liberty Place building. "They've lost their childhoods. They've changed as human beings as a result of the abuse. Their lives, their ability to have relationships, their ability to function in society have all been changed."
A 3-foot statue of Lady Justice sat on a shelf in front of floor-to-ceiling windows that offered sweeping views the city landscape. To the south: the baseball stadium, Citizens Bank Park; the football stadium, Lincoln Financial Field, and the hockey and basketball arena, Wells Fargo Center. To the west: the Schuylkill River and the expressway of the same name; the legendary athletics venue Franklin Field and the Palestra; and the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.
Casey, delayed by a settlement conference on another in career of hectic afternoons, sat for an interview a few hours later in an adjacent conference room with the same panoramic windows.
An escape, of sorts, will come soon.
Casey plans to take time away from the courtroom to help his brother, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, campaign for re-election later this month.
Casey's affinity for politics came at home - early and often. His father, a two-term Democratic governor, died in 2000. His mother, 80, still lives in the same North Washington Avenue home in Scranton from his politically charged childhood.
"We grew up with it," Casey said. "My earliest memories of my father were of his political races - just as a young boy, kind of worrying about whether he would win his next race, and following it religiously."
Personally, he said, he views politics as an "avocation" and enjoys his work in the law too much to consider a run for office in the near future.
"If politics ever became something to consider it would likely be way down the road, because I intend to continue what I'm doing for a very long time," Casey said.
Feller and Casey scoffed at the criticisms of their business, particularly the notion that filing a civil action is somehow unseemly or the idea that injured parties are attempting to get rich on multimillion-dollar judgments.
"An individual's right and ability to bring civil claims makes the world a safer place," Casey said. "We take a lot of pride in representing the people we represent because they, in most instances, don't come from the places in society where you'd expect them to have a whole lot of power or money and they're up against, a lot of times, a lot of power and a lot of money and they've been grievously harmed."

After an agonizing scandal over former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's sex abuse of dozens of children — and over the high-level coverup of his misdeeds — boosters of Penn State football should have just let the university heal. But Pennsylvania's fan-in-chief, Governor Tom Corbett, hoisted his megaphone this week to reopen the wounds, suing the National Collegiate Athletic Association to vacate the four-year bowl ban and $60 million fine it levied against the university. While acknowledging how terrible the case was, Corbett asserted that the NCAA overstepped its authority in punishing the university's football program for its role in covering up Sandusky's offenses. Corbett also claims the penalties inflicted undue economic damage on the state, even though the team still averaged nearly 97,000 fans this season at home games.
It's true that NCAA rules are generally geared toward preventing recruiting violations and improper gifts to athletes, so its powers in a situation as unprecedented as the Sandusky case are not well defined. But the court of moral opinion was so decisive that in July, Corbett, like most leaders of Penn State, accepted the penalties, calling them part of the "corrective process." He was right the first time. Six months later, it is too late to claim that the penalties were unfair. Corbett's lawsuit may score political points with boosters. But critics now wonder where Corbett's megaphone is for the actual victims of the scandal.

The lights are on
The most profound change Wii MotionPlus brings to Legend of Zelda in Skyward Sword is real-time combat based on one-to-one motion input.
Link has nine basic sword strikes at his
disposal, each triggered by how you move your Wii Remote. An additional four special sword strikes call
upon you to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in tandem, and there's also the new
Skyward Strike.
Because of this, Link doesn't learn any special sword skills
throughout the game (like, say, the hidden skills in Twilight Princess). Instead,
Link can access all of his possible sword maneuvers from the very moment he
acquires the Goddess Sword. Your skill
with the Wii Remote alone determines how effectively Link can use his blade in
this game.
Vertical Slashes
Moving the Wii Remote straight up or down lets Link perform
a vertical slash. A rising vertical slash (down to up) is crucial in certain
boss battles, while a descending vertical slash (up to down) is very useful in
fighting enemies like Keese and Chuchus. It's easy to do vertical slashes very
rapidly by shaking the Wii Remote up and down quickly, which is handy in boss
battles where you have a limited amount of time to damage a boss's weak
point. While exploring the world, you sometimes
need to use descending vertical slashes to chop down stakes.

Any Way,
and Spinning, too!
Knitting Any Way is devoted to options and possibilities...I feel like there is not a "one right way" to enjoy the fiber arts and so endeavor to provide ideas and tools for explorations in spinning and hand-knitting machines, as well as patterns written in a style to afford a customizable fit, hence the name,
Knitting, Any Way.
I also find that for many, fiber arts are a lifeline to sanity in life's ups and downs....and in that light...and no matter what happens, you will find me.....knitting, anyway.
(or sewing or felting, or spinning, or basket-making...)
Its Back! The Magic
Needle Selector Wand
for mid-gauge knitting machines.
We focus on mid-gauge and bulky (6.5mm, 7mm, 8mm and 9mm) knitting frames and machines because they handle handspun and popular hand-knitting weights of yarn beautifully. These so-called "hobby" machines (I prefer the term "Hand knitting machine") have many advantages, including light-weight portability, affordability, and a true hands-on appeal for the "fiber fondlers" among us.

Ziera shoes are made with a dedication to both style and comfort that's at the heart of their business. This family-owned New Zealand company brings beautiful comfort to women around the world.
The Ziera Carr is a casual slip-on mary-jane with European style.
Ziera Carr Old Gold Astrale Leather Women's Shoe
Features include:
I bought these in a quest to find suitable for work shoes that would accommodate my bunion but not look like old lady shoes. They are very comfortable and provide excellent support for my long days on my feet. I get lots of compliments on them although I kind of think they look like elf shoes. I'd buy them again.
I own several pairs of Zieras but wear this particular shoe so much that it is wearing out. I am buying another pair. I wear these and the Banner sandals because of the fabulous arch support. These are stylish and do not look like grandma shoes but OMG, they feel like grandmas shoes... so so so comfy. Dear Ziera, please do NOT discontinue these shoes. Do NOT, or I will have to come down there and bang on a few heads. I promise to buy them again and again!!!
These shoes are so comfortable. Walked in the city all day the very first time I wore them. Never do that, but these shoes are the best. Love Zieras!
I have worn these shoes about six times for the occasional time that I need to get out of my athletic shoes. They are comfortable for me with two little pillows on the inside. One at the arch and one at the heel which gives me much needed cushion. I have had PF issues and this is a smart choice for this condition.
I found that I needed to order a half size up for a little more toe width in this shoe. So it runs just a little more narrow than their other shoes.
I bought this shoe about 2 months ago and realized recently I wear this shoe almost every day. I had foot surgery a couple years ago and still have some issues finding comfortable shoes. The sales rep told me I would love these shoes, but how many times have we heard that? It is so true. I have recommended Ziera to others after buying this pair.

It's hard to see them going much further in the playoffs but at least Souths have broken their lengthy finals hex. Before last night's comprehensive victory the Rabbitohs hadn't won a finals match since 1986.
There were some nervous moments, as the Raiders closed to within 10 points early in the second half, but Souths finished with a flourish and a rare penalty try - awarded after Greg Inglis was taken out just before he received the ball - sealed the result in the 65th minute.
The Rabbitohs don't look genuine premiership contenders - they still default to erratic too often and David Taylor can be a 122kg liability - but they were more like their real selves yesterday.
Souths had looked like bunnies caught in the headlights a week earlier, under intense pressure from the Storm.
After taking over 70 minutes to find the tryline last week, they opened their account in the eighth minute last night through Adam Reynolds, after Isaac Luke cut open the Raiders defence up the middle. Luke's speed from dummy half electrified the Rabbitohs from the outset, making the decision to leave him out of the starting 13 last week even more mystifying.
At times in the first quarter it felt like the home side were running downhill, as they hit (and often dented) the Canberra defensive line at a fearsome speed.
After some near misses, Andrew Everingham crossed in the 23rd minute to extend their lead.
Shaun Berrigan's introduction lifted the Raiders and they responded with two tries in three minutes, a solo effort by Sam Williams (30th minute) and a fortunate deflected grab by Sandor Earl (32nd minute). Canberra had grabbed some momentum but Sam Burgess notched the third try (38th minute) for the home side, and early in the second half (43rd minute) Dylan Farrell extended the lead. A Blake Ferguson try gave Canberra hope but Inglis' penalty try was the final nail.
The Rabbitohs face the Bulldogs next Saturday. Manly travel to Melbourne on Friday night in a replay of the 2007 and 2008 grand finals.

Why do I feel like you are passing me a bottle of milk and asking, "Does this taste sour to you?" Anyway, I clicked the GET BOB link in the first post, which took me to the userscripts.org page that I expected, and the Install button brought up the dialog box I expected, which counted down 3 seconds then activated the Install button. I then clicked the Show Script Source button and everything looks fine there. So I suggest you examine your Add-ons Manager page and look for toolbars and whatnot that might be tossing extra things into the mix.
OK, so I tried again and I allowed it to add Sendori as there was no way to custom install without it. I went through the whole thing. I did not get BOB, but I did get some new junk stuff I didn't want, which I immediately uninstalled. I checked add on manager as you suggested and I saw nothing unusual there. Very confused--what is the problem here? Can you try to run through the whole install and see what yuo get? It doesn't even look like BOB is part of the exe that comes up.
P.S. I also got a 7-zip 9.21 added here, which I think is a legitimate file compressor but I really don't know.
I think I see what your problem is. When you get to the userscripts.org page, there is an enormous download button next to a 7-zip logo (or at least there was today when I loaded the page, it may change). THAT IS AN AD. DO NOT CLICK IT. Look for the green Install button up in the grey header box, beside the title of the script, "Conquer Club - BOB". Click that to install BOB.
OK, that is an important point, thanks for noticing, I can't believe I didn't see that. Anyway, now when I hit the proper "Install" button I am getting a page full of script:
// Conquer Club - Card Counter, Card Redemption Value, Status Indicator
var versionString = "5.2.4";
// This monkey is now called:
///// //// /////

I have Greasemonkey installed already so I do not know what to do here as it should download from here. I don't understand what it means when it says, "Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script"; there is no install user scripts in Firefox, and when I use Greasemonkey's menu there are no scripts present.

It was reported late Friday night that Cleveland Indians' catcher Carlos Santana is expected to be the club's everyday third baseman this season.
This will quietly have a big effect on fantasy leagues. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal for Santana, who already plays every day and will be drafted as a catcher anyway. However, adding 3B-eligibility, in addition to the 1B-eligibility he already has, only enhances his value. And if you take away the wear and tear of squatting behind the plate 80-90 times a year, his numbers figure to improve.
Keeper leaguers probably don't like the idea of losing a top-tier catcher, but it's possible Santana will still see enough time at backstop to keep him eligible next year. Even if he doesn't, he'll still have plenty of value. Last year, he would've ranked 14th among 3Bs, according to our Roto Rater. Entering his age-28 season and, again, figuring to be fresher throughout the year, we think he'll improve on that. He had a career-high Roto Rater value last year (8.03), and it likely helped that he played a career-low 84 games at catcher.
MORE FANTASY BASEBALL: Ballpark rankings | Mock Draft analysis | Join Fantasy Source
The real effect of Santana's move to the Hot Corner can be found throughout the rest of Cleveland's lineup. Yan Gomes, who hit .319/.385/.485 in the second half last year, is slated to be the everyday backstop. The 26-year-old slugger was already being tabbed as a breakout candidate this year, but this just seals it. Perhaps he'll wither under the strain of everyday duties, but Gomes' impressive minor league numbers (.287/.345/.484) bode well for his chances.
But it's not just Gomes who gains value. By sending expected-3B – and potential lineup weak link – Lonnie Chisenhall to the bench, the Indians have all sorts of options with what amounts to their DH position. This open spot likely won't be filled by one player, but Chisenhall (who, to be fair, is just 25 and slugged .676 in 27 Triple-A games last year), Ryan Raburn (.543 SLG last year, including .617 vs. LHP), David Cooper (.301/.376/.470 in his minor league career) and, unfortunately, Jason Giambi all will likely see time. Daily league owners can find plenty of value here, especially if they play matchups. There's also potential in weekly leagues if one guy wins the job outright, especially since Chisenhall is eligible at 3B and Raburn could potentially gain eligibility at 2B.
Of course, this could backfire on the Tribe. Gomes might not be ready for prime time and Santana could be a mess defensively, affecting his psyche and hurting him at the plate. But for now, this is an exciting development. Despite not being star-laden, Cleveland has one of the most versatile lineups in baseball, with almost every player able to seamlessly shift positions. The potential for extra at-bats – mixed with the potential for added positional eligiblity from numerous players – is the kind of thing fantasy owners should be looking for.
And it all starts with Santana and Gomes, both of whom will be valuable commodities on draft day.

Here's today's example:
Chimpanzees like to snack on termites, and youngsters learn to fish for them by poking long leaf spines and other such tools into the mounds that colonies build.
In a paper to be published in the journal Animal Behavior, researchers found that female chimps in the Gombe National Park in Tanzania picked up termite fishing at a mean age of 31 months, more than two years earlier than the males.
The females seem to learn by watching their mothers, said the paper's author, Dr. Elizabeth V. Lonsdorf, director of field conservation at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.
Dr. Lonsdorf said that typically, when a young male and female are near a mound, "she's really intently termite fishing, and he's spinning himself in circles."...
[Under experimental conditions], adult females were [using the leaf tool] and a young female watched carefully and began to pick up the skills, she said. Two young males did not fare as well - one simply sat next to his mother and tried to steal some mustard from her, Dr. Lonsdorf said.
The behavior of both sexes may seem familiar to many parents, she said, adding, "The sex differences we found in the chimps mimic some of the findings from the human child development literature."
She pointed out, however, that at least in the case of chimps, each is doing something important, since the males' play is practice for later dominance behavior.
"They're doing stuff that's really appropriate," she said.

I appreciate the words of wisdom, especially from someone so steeped in the dark arts of Win Perl ;~)
Getting down to business though, I think it would just be a matter of blacklisting filenames (not paths) containing things that qualify as a "path root" or a path "separator". After that, what's to stop me from letting the user (try) to push anything into the interface that they want? After all, if it can't be done, Perl itself will be the one to throw the error at the end of the call stack. I'll just kindly return the error... such is my thinking.
Normalization / canonicalization are totally different matters. I'm not sure I even want to attempt that. I'd have first believe it was a useful "feature". Then again, maybe it's been done before and I could use what's already been written. Haven't checked CPAN for that yet.
Bottom line, I think it's doable in the sense that other than the basic aforementioned checks, I would just step back and let Perl make the final decisions on what it will and won't accept, instead of the hand holding and "protections" I currently have in place.
Backing off a bit from the nanny mentality is something I've been considering for some time.
It's terribly late, and I'm rambling. But thanks BrowserUK, you always get me thinking outside the box.

5397 Law & Order: An Introduction to Jurisprudence - LUNSTROTH- 23710
John Lunstroth (DEPARTED)
Credits: 3
Course Areas: Constitutional and Criminal Law
Time: 9:00a-10:30a MW Location: TUII-117
Course Outline: Law and Order: An Introduction to Jurisprudence
In this class we will explore different ways to think about the law. Although legal theory (legal philosophy, jurisprudence) consists of a long complicated history of often obscure and difficult to understand writings, I am going to approach it with the assumption that the core ideas and intuitions about the law can be developed and discussed in a common sense way that is accessible to anyone in law school.
There are no pre-requisites to take this class, except a curiosity about the nature of law and a willingness to give it some careful thought.
The grade will be calculated as follows:
• Class participation (10/100): you will be expected to do the reading and join in discussions. Some of you naturally talk more than others, but by the end of the class your general approach to understanding the materials should have become apparent from the discussions.
• Written assignments (70/100): You will be asked to write three or four short essays (5-8 pages). The final essay will be due the day assigned to the final. It will consist of the prompt: What is law?
• Each student will participate in a class presentation/exercise (20/100).
By the end of class we should have laid a ground-work that will serve you for the rest of your life with the law. Not only will we grapple with ideas of enduring power, but you will be given a basic set of intellectual tools that can be developed and elaborated on as you grow in experience.

The calamity began when a car driven by 37-year-old Julio C. Montoya of Irving, Texas was traveling on the wrong side of the interstate, east in the westbound lanes.
He then hit another car head on. One of the victims in that wreck was lying in the roadway and was run over and killed by a second car. Meanwhile, a tractor-trailer rig plowed into the car that had hit the woman lying in the roadway.
Both vehicles in that third accident burned.
The two fatalities were identified as 50-year-old Sharon K. White of Houston, Texas. She was the driver of the car that was first struck by Julio Montoya as he drove on the wrong side of the roadway. Also killed was a passenger in White's car, 45-year-old Debbie Bivins, also of Houston Texas.
The semi tractor-trailer rig that drove into the crash scene caught fire and was a total loss. The truck fire also set fire to the car carrying the Texas women.
The westbound lanes of I-10 were closed for ten hours before cleanup of the interstate was finished.
Julio Montoya, the man driving on the wrong side of the road, had his drivers license suspected only two months ago for DUI.
He was treated for minor injures and then booked by troopers into the Walton County Jail in Defuniak Springs on a number of charges including a double count of DUI Manslaughter and a variety of traffic charges.

Scientists and experts recently gathered in Nadi, Fiji to discuss the integration of ecosystem based management principles and know-how into the Nadi River Basin project.
The outputs of this workshop will contribute to the work of the Nadi Basin Catchment Committee (NBCC) in developing a strategy to reduce flood risks for the Nadi area. Nadi Town has in recent years been devastated by frequent flooding events, with flood records and damage in 2009.
"Our discussions focussed on how effectively the ecosystem based approach can be used for the Nadi River Basin, what has worked in other parts of Fiji and the world, and what hasn't, and how we can collectively build on what is already being done," said IUCN Oceania Regional Water Coordinator, Dr. Milika Sobey.
Experts from IUCN's Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM) relayed their global experiences in the application of ecosystem based management with the local NBCC members for the Nadi project.
This was the first visit for the CEM Steering Committee members to the Oceania region. They learned of the activities currently taking place in the Nadi Basin as part of IUCN's Water and Nature Initiative (WANI). An interactive field trip provided an opportunity for the CEM members to explore the Nadi catchment area, learn of the tools currently being implemented for flood risk management, and witness the impacts of tourism development on its coastal ecosystems.
In addition to ecosystem based adaptation, the issue of land tenure in Fiji was discussed. Fiji has a unique land tenure system whereby land is divided into 3 categories: native, freehold and state land, of which 88% is native land. The challenge for integrated water resource management lies in native owned land. The Native Land Trust Board in Fiji states that for any development to be undertaken on native land, a developer must ensure that 60% of the "tokatoka", or household members that own the land, are in approval.
"Unfortunately, less than 60% of the tokatoka members approve and many developments are cut short – often due to lack of knowledge by some members," said Native Land Trust Board (NLTB) Regional Manager Southwest, Mr. Mesake Ledua.
This is an issue the NBCC is currently working on by taking every effort to keep all land owning "mataqali's" or clans informed of future development plans within the Nadi basin area.
The three day workshop was organised by the Land and Water Resource Management Division (LAWRM) and IUCN Oceania Regional Office. The current project being undertaken in Nadi is the GEF funded Integrated Water Resources Management Project, which will be implemented over the next three years based on the WANI principles.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is inaugurating a naval shipyard in Rio de Janeiro state that will build five submarines, including one that is nuclear-propelled.
Rousseff's office says in a statement that the first submarine produced at the shipyard in the coastal city of Itaguai is slated for delivery in 2017. The nuclear vessel is to be the final one. It is to be launched in 2023.
Brazil's nearly $4 billion submarine program was developed in cooperation with France. It began in 2008.
Rousseff is also slated to visit a hospital and inaugurate the new Rio Art Museum during her visit to the city on Friday.

If so the granularity is fairly course but a node can then have "points" etc and monitor/control a lot of things. But is there provision for a node that say just monitors a single switch?
Hi Dario, we met on the italian home automation forum
I'm studying your approach to home automation, I decided to use some arduino UNO (4, maybe 5) to control some sensors/actuators (about 30, I would say) connected via Ethernet, and it seems I could use souliss, is this correct?
I made some tests on my own in writing a really small and stupid home automation 'framework', to excange state message and commands between nodes: it was almost working, but I had serious RAM issues: as I tried to debug with Serial.print commands, everything got messed up (RAM exausted, I believe) with strange outputs and/or Arduino reboots.How do you cope with Arduino's small RAM? Did you have to face memory issues? How much RAM does Souliss use? Thank you
I'm an experienced java developer, but my C++ is rusty and I'm an hardware noob. Do you think I could contribute to Souliss if I decided for this library? I'm already registered on sourceforge ...

Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $8.19, or 1.8%, at $452.95, as Pacific Crest's Andy Hargreaves reiterates a Sector Perform rating on the shares, warning that the company will likely miss expectations for the March-ending fiscal Q2 when it reports in April, and probably miss estimates for the June-quarter outlook, largely because of a lower outlook for the iPad.
Hargreaves cut his Q2 estimate to $41.1 billion and $9.60 per share in net profit from a prior $41.8 billion and $9.89 per share. That is below the average $42.77 billion and $10.14 per share. He also cut Q4′s estimate to $33.5 billion and $7.16 per share from a prior $37.1 billion and $8.32 per share. That is below consensus for $39.78 billion and $9.41 per share.
Hargreaves trimmed his Q2 iPhone number to 36.9 million from 37.3 million, "largely related to the product cycle, which we consider to be a transitory issue."
"However, we continue to believe sell-through evidence supports our view that the high end of the smartphone market is quickly becoming saturated."
His main concern is the iPad: "We consider the reduction to our large-format iPad estimates to be the most significant, as this appears likely to be a sustained trend as tablet demand shifts to smaller and less expensive models."
His iPad number goes to 16.5 million units for Q2 from a prior 17-million estimate. For Q3, he is number goes to 15 million from 18.5 million, "as we anticipate soft demand for large-format iPads and a demand pause in front of a likely fiscal Q4 product refresh."
"We expect a Retina iPad Mini in FQ4," adds Hargreaves, "but we do not know if it will replace the existing iPad Mini at the same price points, or if Apple will keep the iPad Mini as an entry-level product and replace the iPad 2."
Hargreaves also comments in brief on rumors of a lower-priced iPhone, stating that he's not been able to divine any evidence of component orders for the device, "which is somewhat unusual this close to the anticipated launch."
One question is what a cheaper iPhone will do for Apple in the market:
In addition to the lack of clear component orders for a "low-cost" iPhone, it remains unclear whether the "low-cost" device is intended to open up the sub-$300 market, or if it is intended to expand share of the $300-plus market through a broader assortment of more fashion-oriented products. We believe Apple would maximize its long-term profit potential by continuing to focus on dominating the $300-plus market segment rather than moving significantly downstream.
Update: I neglected to mention earlier that Shebly Seyrafi of FBN Securities also cut estimates for Apple today, while reiterating an Outperform rating and a $650 price target.
Seyrafi cut his March-quarter iPhone estimate to 35.3 million from 37 million units, and cut his Q3 estimate to 30 million from 43 million. His estimate for the full fiscal year ending in September goes to $184.8 billion and $44.58 per share form a prior $198.2 billion and $47.82.
Seyrafi acknowledge stepped-up competition, but thinks Apple will prevail with new products later this year:
Clearly, the AAPL story has become more challenged lately due to increased competition from Samsung (which has more SKUs and more price points suitable for faster-growing emerging markets), concerns about innovation post-Steve Jobs, and concerns about whether the long-term GM is headed much lower (a la Nokia (NOK)). However, we see AAPL addressing the low-end iPhone concern in CH2 and the lack of a 5″ or higher iPhone concern in C2014. On the iPad front, we expect a new fifthgeneration iPad and and an iPad Mini with Retina Display this year, although the timing is more unclear. Meanwhile, we see the company starting to return more capital to shareholders in the form of higher dividends (we see dividends going from $10.60/yr. with a 2.3% dividend yield currently to ~$14/yr. with a 4.0% dividend yield) and possibly share buybacks as the company executes on its program to return $45B in capital to shareholders over three years (note that $10B of this has already occurred).
Seyrafi adds that he thinks the stock is cheap even if gross margin declines substantially going forward, as he expects it will:
We see AAPL's gross margin (38.6% last quarter) declining steadily over the next many years due to increased competition from Samsung (pressuring AAPL's highest gross margin segment – the iPhone), the introduction of low-end iPhones, more form factors/SKUs (increasing costs), and the possible introduction of an iTV (where we would model the GM at ~30%). Even so, as long as the GM does not decline below 33%, the stock is undervalued.

I had a pile of contributions/changes that were approved/not approved, but today they suddenly all disappeared. What does that mean?
It means they changed the system, I'd imagine... PseudoSherlock 16:38, 5 June 2006 (EDT)
i just wanted to know scince you have auto approving and aeverything do you just create an article and it shows automatically cause i wanted tp know if i had it and how to use Xtreme112
Once you reach the given amount of Hero Points needed to approve your own profiles (you need to make sure there is correct information and spellchecked on the profile before approving it). Go to the Recent Changes at the bottom of a page. If you see the words "this revision" in red, that mean you have reached the correct number needed to approve your profiles. Once you create a profile and after you post it, you have to go to the Recent Changes page and approve your own profile. It is there for you to do your own and not to approve other's profiles/posts.
As for the Contributions list, it looks like after you reach a certain amount of profiles/edits/posts, your contribution list vanishes. It did it with mine and others who have high numbers. --DragynWulf 00:23, 16 June 2006 (EDT)
ok i get ya but i dont see that revision thing for bios i meen my contribution list is gone and i only see the rev thing with pictures so does that meen im not there yet
Umm, thank you, Xtreme. But yeah, looks like the question is already answered. And thank you for the heads up on the contributions, Dragyn. It was a little frustrating, and it makes me wonder why the option is there in the first place. I actually enjoyed using it to start out with. PseudoSherlock 06:32, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
Xtreme112: From what you are saying, I would guess that you have not reached the needed amount of Hero Points to approve your own profiles/posts/edits. Just remember that the easiest way to find out is to check the Recent Changes page (which is located at the bottom of every page) and once you see the words/text "(this revision)" highlighted in red, then that means you have reached the need amount of Hero Points.
PseudoSherlock: We suggest that you keep a record of all profiles you create in case something happens to them. This way you can post the information if needed again. Some posters have used their UserPage to list all the profiles they have created to show their contributions. This way even though the current bug in the system erases your name, there is still something showing that you contributed to the profile. --DragynWulf 14:54, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
Yeah, Dragyn's probably right, Xtreme. It's pretty obvious when you're able, the "This Revision" thing is highlighted in a BRIGHT red. Can't miss it. And don't worry, Dragyn, I save all my profiles in MSWord. I'm also planning on revising my own profile soon to show the ones that I've created or heavily edited. I just haven't quite gotten around to it. Maybe I will today... PseudoSherlock 15:01, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
Oh ok i didn't know anyone noticed , maybe they'll change it this time. david andrews 13:18, 6 July 2006 (EDT)
Yeah, who knows? You can find the other posts on either Pete's or ComiX Fan's user pages. It would be nice if they fixed it, though. I actually misspelled villains because I was looking at that link before... PseudoSherlock 14:33, 6 July 2006 (EDT)
Yeah thats what i did adding to the category and checked my spelling of that. then i noticed it didn't work and i got suspicious. david andrews 15:29, 6 July 2006 (EDT)
Hey PseudoSherlock, when creating a profile for a character from the 2099 universe, make sure you add that to the name like Spider-Man (2099), X-Men (2099) and so on. The links you make in the history reflect the universe, so should the character you are writing the bio for. The same goes for characters from Exiles like Blink (Exiles), Ulimate Marvel like Spider-Man (Ultimate) and so on. --DragynWulf 20:24, 12 July 2006 (EDT)
Sigh...fine. The reason I originally formatted them as I did, is because I only added (2099) when there was no other character of the same name. Which I took from the format of the Ultimate characters. However, I see now that ALL the Ultimate characters, even "Ultimates (Ultimate)" have it...so, alright, I'll go through and fix it all to read (2099)... PseudoSherlock 07:39, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
Any alternate reality character should reflect their own universe no matter if there isn't a version of them in the Marvel 616 Universe. It is a way to distinguish what universe they come from. While it is obvious to know that they come from the 2099 Universe if you look in the 2099 category, all those characters are also listed in the People category (or Teams for the teams) and that is where the designation for the universe comes in handy. This way someone going through the large list of characters in the People category, can see who and where they are from.
I believe I already edited them to reflect the 2099 universe, so no worries about that. I was letting you know so you would do it for future characters. --DragynWulf 13:18, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
You seem to know about those 2099 characters. So to the point. There is two Punisher characters on Punisher disambiguation page that are 2099 characters. The reason why I'm pointing this out is, because I was about to delete them from the page, because I dont see any mentioning about them being in Earth-616. Like I was earlier told from a moderator disambiguation pages are only for characters that is native of Earth-616 universe, another universe character that lives Earth-616 universe or is frequent visitor on Earth-616 universe. So if they werent in Earth-616 universe in any point in time they shouldn't be listed in the disambiguation page. If they dont match to any of those mentioned above they shouldnt be there and it would be nice that they would be deleted from the disambiguation page. --Wezqu 11:36, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
I agree. There are actually three 2099 Punishers on the page. I didn't put them there. I've edited them since, to make sure they're correct, but I didn't agree with their original addition to it. And I've since thought that if they are there, why isn't Spider-Man 2099 on a disambig page, too, and the series of Doctor Doom's in a disambig page? So if you want to take them off, you won't hear any arguments from me. PseudoSherlock 12:29, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
It was discussed further and the Mods decided that category pages are for Marvel 616 Universe and the disambig pages are now for all versions of the characters. The main characters are to be listed first, followed by imposters and then last but not least all alternate reality characters. Each section will have its own discription, I will edit a page for others to use as an example later tonight or tomorrow. --DragynWulf 13:18, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
That makes some good sense. I'll try to cobble together the ones that fit the characters I've done once I've seen the example. Thanks for the heads up! PseudoSherlock 13:53, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
Just wanted to ask why did you name them Daredevil, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom? Just asking this because they didn't never use those aliases so why you list them under those. Only one of the characters that used same alias than his Earth-616 counterpart was Thor. Everybody else was only refered with their real names. Also Doctor Doom in this Earth isn't a doctor hes a count. Also these characters shouldn't be mentioned in these aliases disambiguation pages because they never used the alias in the first place. --Wezqu 14:58, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
I did this because the characters in the 1602 are supposedly the same persona as the ones from the modern 616 reality that the universe rebirthed at an earlier time in order to patch itself up. So, technically, they are the same people who were born in an earlier period. I'm sure some moderator will come around and completely rename all of them, but I thought it would just get awkward to keep calling them by either made up codenames (as in the Fantastick Four, which was never mentioned in the series either, but is the title of their upcoming series), or "real names." Because, as they are based off of specific people with specific names, it made it easier to just name them from their originals. Also, please note that the Spider-Man 1602 I just did was actually previously written into the Spider-Man disambig page as Spider-Man (Earth-311), but as the 2099 characters got (2099) put at the end of their names, I changed it to Spider-Man (1602), however someone ELSE also wrote him in as "Spider-Man," not "Peter Parquagh". It makes things more tidy, as they will probably all change their names later, anyway, once the series gets going. And I put them in the disambig pages for the same reason, they are the same identities and personas as the originals, replaced into a different time. PseudoSherlock 15:08, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
Umm...I just looked it up, YOU'RE the one who renamed Spider-Man to 311, for some odd reason. So you already, implicitly, agreed to name them to their modern day monikers (as Peter never uses the name Spider-Man in the book), as well as leaving them in the disambig pages. However, renaming him to Spider-Man (Earth-311) looks ungainly and overly categorical, all the other ones are named by the colloquial title of the universe, not the number. Unless you want to start writing in Fantastic Four (616), and other such nonsense... PseudoSherlock 15:11, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
I removed it because I now know that he didn't use it. I didn't add him. Also if you dont know every universe dont have a tittle they just have a number or would you prefer name as like "Peter Parker Had to Destroy Spider-Man" its not practical when the name is long as hell. Its easier to write them as Earth desicnations. That was the one reason why those numbers have been invented so you dont have to write every long and sometimes even stupid name to the names. Also there is several universes that doesnt even have a name just a number. I dont see any point naming the characters with names they never used just so some idiot knows what character he is modelled after from Earth-616. --Wezqu 15:24, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
Also even if they are same personalities they never used those alliases and why would they be listed with them, but I will let admins to shought this one out. Also this Peter Parquagh you could have listed as "Parquagh, Peter (1602)" and it would have been allright now it isn't. Its just more work for a moderator to do when there is idiots who post **** on the site and they could rather to use that time to clean it up than transfering pages. I'm not trying to start a fight here just saying that they shouldn't be listed in those aliases. --Wezqu 15:31, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
Well, obviously, if a Universe doesn't have a colloquial name, don't use one. As Marvel 1602 does, I used it. And as the majority of the junk the moderators have to clean up is a lot of people posting gibberish in un-templated profiles, I doubt they'll care if I can't read their minds and choose the proper titles for my completely written and researched bios. :) I've learned that they all have their own opinions on how to categorize stuff, and as I have the most fun researching Marvel comics and writing what I know, I'll let them re-title my stuff to their heart's content. I can't always predict what it will be, and so I've stopped trying. So you can continue to spend your time picking apart all my stuff, and I'm certainly not going to change anything back as long as you keep my profiles intact. So, as you say, we'll leave it to them, who will undoubtedly be happy to take time out from absolute nonsense to tidy up a set of complete bios. Note: I've also edited out your profanity from my page, as this is a family site... PseudoSherlock 15:47, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
Regarding your Spider-Man 1602 profile, it was no problem. If only a history could be done.User: The Last Samurai
I'm going to try and pick up some of the 1602 comics when I see them, or whatever is out yet. And then I'll fill in stuff. PseudoSherlock 08:23, 19 August 2006 (EDT)
If a character does not go by a name, then don't give them that name. Therefore, if a character never used "Spider-Man" as a name, then don't call him "Spider-Man". Use the correct names that they were given in comics even if it is a real name and not a code-name.
If a universe does not have a designated Earth number, then don't use names to replace that number.
Also, please do not post material intentionally for the Moderators to clean up. You have been given the ability to approve your own posts so that we WON'T have to clean up your profiles. --DragynWulf 13:02, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
You misunderstood. My point was that I had given up guessing how the moderators want me to structure the names, and if you'll notice, there are TONS of posts from me asking moderators. Usually, they ignore me, and then it eventually gets changed later. So I stopped guessing, and just wrote bios to add to the system.
I'm thoroughly confused about your choice to add the Earth designation. Are you implying that we should change all the (Ultimate)s to (Earth-1610), and the (2099)s to (Earth-928)? If not, what makes Marvel 1602 special that it doesn't get its colloquial title like the others? As for the changes you did make, Doctor Strange DOES go by the name Doctor Strange, or Doctor Stephen Strange, and Nick Fury is actually Nicholas Fury by your own naming scheme. And the "Fantastick Four" have never been referred to as such in a comic, yet. At best you could refer to them as the "Four from the Fantastick." Though when their own comic comes out, it'll be more clear, undoubtedly. PseudoSherlock 17:16, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
You are noy being ignored, the Moderators can get very busy at times with Handbook work (writing, proofing, research, deadlines), thier normal 9-5 type job (which is different than the Handbook job), family and everyday normal life stuff, checking profiles over for the weekly Marvel newsletter, checking/writing profiles for Marvel.com and other things. So as you can see Mods can get busy real fast and numerous posts that show up on the "Recent Changes" can push Usertalk down. I just found out that someone posted in my Userpage 3 days ago and I didn't even see it and I check often. It was just over looked is all.
If an Earth designation is known it should be used. If text to clarify that reality is needed then it can be added. So for example Captain America (Earth-1610 (Ultimate)) should be listed for the Ultimate version of Captain America. Spider-Man (Earth-928 circa 2099 AD), Parquagh, Peter (Earth-311, circa 1602 AD) and so on.
While yes, this is a change for what has been previously posted, things have changed within the comics and an updated system is needed. Especially now that there are multiple versions of Spider-Man 2099, Age of Apocalypse, Days of Future Past, and other characters/realities. --DragynWulf 20:34, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
Ok, that all sounds good to me. And, honestly, Dragyn, this mainly serves to prove my point. I couldn't have even begun to guess all those formatting things you would prefer, no matter how much guessing I put into it. Which is why I've gotten to the point where I no longer worry about formatting, unless it's really obvious. I'd be most happy just reading comics and honing my writing skills on the bios-the two things I truly enjoy-and leaving all the pesky formatting issues to the moderators. Which is what I meant earlier. And if you had just renamed all those characters and said nothing to me, I would have been just fine. I would very much just like to stay out of all of it, because I'm not a moderator, and I frankly don't want to have an opinion on any of it. And I'm not angry at anyone for not getting back to me, and I'm not purposefully trying to make work for anyone else, I've just decided to continue to type up bios and give my best, off-the-top-of-my-head guess for how to name them, and let any moderator with a different opinion change it. I hope that's okay with everyone, as I'd prefer to just quietly pump out characters, and I'd like to think that after over a hundred created bios, I'm not wasting anyone's time on here. PseudoSherlock 08:04, 24 August 2006 (EDT)
What's a "tittle"? sononsj 19:15, 25 August 2006 (EDT)
Please don't edit other people's Userpages. That is for them to post on and no one else. If something needs to be removed, a Moderator will do it. If you notice something needs to be removed (category for example) from a Userpage, then please point it out to a Moderator and we will remove it. While your intentions were good, if other posters see you do it, they will assume that they can do it also and it will become a greater mess than what it already has become. --DragynWulf 13:09, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
Alright. They'd had been sitting there for months, which is why I finally removed them. But I won't do it again. PseudoSherlock 17:08, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
Sherlock, please don't upload images in GIF format (like Prester John). The preferred format for online images is JPG. --ComiX-Fan 20:24, 2 March 2007 (EST)
OH, alright. THAT was the problem. I couldn't figure it out. Thank you, I will reupload that as a .jpg. Sorry about the mistake. I think I checked what your "Image Not Available" graphic was, and duplicated that.

PHILADELPHIA — A 7-3 romp in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Flyers didn't earn the Bruins a day off.
Boston hit the ice at the Wells Fargo Center for three quarters of an hour today in preparation for tomorrow night's Game 2.
Only forward Nathan Horton was excused, and his off day was an accident. Head coach Claude Julien said that just before going out to the ice, Horton's rivets on one of his skates popped and they wouldn't have been fixed in time to be of use to the Bruins. So Horton worked out off the ice and will skate Monday.
Out in Voorhees, N.J., the Flyers held an optional practice and none of their regular players skated. Certainly they must have been working diligently behind the scenes to cure what plagued them in a mistake-filled Game 1. After all, Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette left no area of his team's game blame-free for the defeat.
"If he said they had to be better in all areas, they're going to adjust in all areas," said Julien. "We expect them, we know they're going to come out a lot better. There's no doubt there. There's no secret to that and we just have to be ready for it. I think we're anticipating it, we know what's coming, as a hockey club you have to be ready to face that. We're just going to have to be as good as we can be tomorrow and come out there the better team."

TUSCALOOSA | A new office complex is being built off Rice Mine Road and is on pace to begin housing new occupants in spring 2014.
TUSCALOOSA | A new office complex is being built off Rice Mine Road and is on pace to begin housing new occupants in spring 2014.
Jay Evans, manager of Riverwalk LLC, the development company behind the project, said 12 acres of the 22.5-acre site will be cleared for the low-density office park dubbed NorthBank.
"We're not disturbing any wetlands," Evans said. "It's supposed to be a very natural, high-end office park."
The site, portions of which are owned by the Randall, Birthright and Spigener families, is expected to be available to individual tenants by April. And because it is zoned as a planned unit development, any changes to the proposed site will go before the City Council for review and approval.
Evans said the lots will be sold and tailored to meet the needs of each business, which could include offices for doctors, lawyers or architects, among others.
However, no buyers have yet been lined up.
"We've not advertised or done anything as far as that goes," Evans said. "I think it would be a great place for medical offices, because it's in close proximity to both hospitals, but it's not limited to physicians' offices."
In documents submitted to City Hall as part of the planned unit development approval process, developers estimate the clearing and site preparation construction to total about $3 million.
Utilities will be installed underground, and the conceptual plan shows lots ranging from 7,000 to 30,000 square feet. However, the plans are subject to change, Evans said.
"As we convey the lots, we'll let the people come to us and make sure (the lot size) fits; then we'll start drawing the lines from there," Evans said. "None of (the conceptual plan) is etched in stone."
The site is adjacent to a proposed 100-acre, multiuse development that was announced in 2007.
The NorthRiver Town Center, however, never came to pass after nearby residents in the Woodridge subdivision protested the development over concerns including increased traffic, light pollution and the possible effects such a large-scale development would have on the nearby environmental and ecological systems.
This development conforms to the current BN, or neighborhood business, zoning and did not get the public scrutiny that met NorthRiver Town Center.
Additionally, the NorthBank office park has not been the subject of any residential protests. Its designated use will not lead to similar traffic concerns, and Evans stressed that much of the land's natural areas will be kept intact.
"It's supposed to be for people who appreciate a real tranquil environment, conducive to being on the river," he said. "Our idea isn't to develop every square foot of the project. When you go to NorthBank, you're in a first-class office park."

The reverse side is dated January 15, 1938. Written in pencil is "Doris Jean Hoyt - Bainbridge NY."
Found in "The New American Cookbook" edited by Lily Haxworth Wallace. Published by Books, Inc., 1941.
Bainbridge is just down the highway from me, and I've already started searching around the internet for clues about Doris. I'm guessing she is 3-6 years old in the photo, so she was likely born around 1932-5 or so. I hope to find Doris or a member of her family so I can return the photo.
I will keep you updated - if you have any leads, let me know.
1. Looks like Doris was married in 1957 to Anthony H. Salerno. Doris' parents were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hoyt of Bainbridge.
2. It appears Doris was a little older in that photo, it's looking like she was born around 1926 or so.
3. Doris and Anthony now live in New Jersey (I'm fairly sure). I have a phone number, will give it a go.

My mother collects coookery books (as in over a thousand - she COLLECTS!) Last year she picked up an old book in a charity shop and inside was a letter addressed to Mrs Smellie. As I am also Mrs Smellie she bought the book and brought it up to show us. The letter was to my mother in law from a friend to say thank you for dinner and including a recipe as requested. The letter was dated 1957. My mother lives in London, I live in Durham and my MIL lived in Glasgow. Some well travelled book!

And as far as the imprinted date on the back, it is most likely the roll of film was in the camera for a while and not developed till much later. Perphas they used the camera sparingly, perhaps they really didn't have enough money to get it developed, or perhaps it was forgotten. I have baby photos with dates on the back that clearly don't coincide with my age - my mother couldn't develop the film because they were on base housing and limited funds.

I love that you're trying to find Doris or her family. I suppose there are more of us than I think there are.

Thanks guys I have been very happy with this rig....just have to find the right camera settings/strobe combination, not sure if i have got that right yet. Think I need a few more dives to practice.
