College Park, Md. – Junior Pierre De Waal (Pretoria, South Africa/Tuks Sport/Cleveland State) picked up three individual wins, but the UMBC swimming and diving teams were swept by in-state rival Maryland Saturday afternoon at the Eppley Recreation Center. The UMBC men fell 202-98 while the UMBC women lost to the No. 13 ranked Terps 233-67.
After dropping both the men's and women's relays for the first time this season, De Waal got the Retrievers in the win column claiming victory in the 1000-yard freestyle (9:30.56). Later on the junior picked up victories in the 200 fly (1:50.14) and the 500 free (4:37.30), with all three times setting new season-lows.
Sophomore Johan Rohtla (Tallin, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) also picked up a win for the Retrievers, claiming first in the 200 back (1:50.12) for the third time in just four meets this season.
On the women's side, UMBC had a tough task at hand going against the nationally ranked Terps. Jennifer Kotonias (Burtonsville, Md./Academy of Holy Cross) picked up the only win for the Retrievers taking top honors in the 200 fly (2:03.60). Kotonias has now won six individual events this year, including going three for three when swimming the 200 fly.
The Retrievers continue their schedule on Thursday when both the men and women head to Fairfax, Va. to compete in the three day Patriot Invitational. Last year both UMBC squads picked up team wins at the event.

And the top-earning actress on television, for the second year in a row, is...
Sofia Vergara!
The Colombian bombshell, who plays firecracker mother Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on ABC's hit comedy "Modern Family," made nearly $30 million last year, according to the Forbes Celebrity 100 list.
Vergara's high earnings, due in part to her sizeable "Modern Family" paycheck, were also fueled largely by her lucrative endorsement deals, which include Kmart, Diet Pepsi and Covergirl. The 41-year-old actress also added several Spanish-language commercials to her resume.
NEWS: Sofia Vergara Steps Out Looking Skinnier Than Ever
According to Forbes, the Celebrity 100 list looks at the earnings of celebrities during a specific time period--this list was compiled from June 2012 through June 2013. Forbes speaks to agents, lawyers and considers "upfront pay, residuals, endorsements and advertising work" when creating the list. The top 20 list of actresses earned $183 million collectively.
Mariska Hargitay from "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" and Kaley Cuoco from "The Big Bang Theory" tied for the No. 2 spot on the list, with each actress taking home an estimated $11 million last year. Hargitay's paycheck comes solely from "SVU" (no endorsement deals). Currently in its 14th season, the NBC series has more than 300 episodes in syndication. Cuoco's jump from No. 11 last year is thanks to an estimated $300,000 per episode for "Big Bang" and deals with Toyota and Priceline.
"Mike & Molly" star Melissa McCarthy comes in at No. 4, climbing 14 spots in the last year raking in $10 million. Joining McCarthy at No. 4 are the Kardashians, new talk show host Bethenny Frankel, "Grey's Anatomy's" Ellen Pompeo and Tina Fey.
Way to go ladies!

Dr. Donna Strickland won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, along with Gérard Mourou, Arthur Ashkin. She invented "chirped pulse amplification" for lasers while getting her PhD under Gérard Mourou, in 1985, when she was 26 years old. According to Google Scholar she has 94 publications, some of them in French, most in English. She spent the early nineties as a member of Princeton's Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Opto-electronic Materials. She's a fellow of The Optical Society, and she currently chairs its presidential advisory committee. According to the Canadian Association of Physicists, she is a recipient of a Sloan Research Fellowship, a Premier's Research Excellence Award, and a Cottrell Scholars Award. She is currently supervising Jeremy Kelly-Massicotte's MSc and Zujun Xu's PhD, and JiangFan Xia's Post Doctoral Fellowship. She's head of the Ultrafast Laser Group.
In other words, she has a myriad of achievements under her belt. So, it seems surprising that she didn't have a full professorship upon receiving her Nobel prize.
But wait a second: how does one become a full professor? And is it strange that a Nobel laureate in physics not have a full professorship?
Let us answer the second question first: Yes, especially nowadays. In the past 20 years, there have been 56 nobel laureates in physics. Of them, 44 have professorships, they seem to receive them on average 10 years before they receive their Nobel, and more than one of them holds multiple professorships at the same time.
There are 12 that don't, though. And those are:
- David J. Wineland, who worked for the National Institute of Standards and Technology while doing the work that earned him his Nobel Prize, and who is now an Adjoinct Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder.
- George E. Smith who worked for Bell Laboratories
- Willard Boyle, who also worked for Bell Laboratories, and later retired to go sailing
- Peter Grünberg,
- Vitaly Ginzburg,
- Zhores Alferov who was given an Honourary Professor award (Also, note: look into him)
- Jack St. Clair Kilby, who was not a professor. Not even a PhD. Got a Master's in 1950 on electrical engineering and worked on TI in 1958 designing those calculators every highschooler hates.
- Alexei Alexeyevich Abrikosov. He worked for the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys instead of as a university professor.
- John C. Mather, who is an adjunct professor of physics at the University of Maryland College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences.
- John L. Hall, who was a Fellow at JILA, formerly the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics, and a Lecturer at the CU-Boulder Physics Department.
- Donna Strickland – Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo.
- Arthur Ashkin – PhD, but no professorship, worked at Bell Labs and not at a university.
Here are two people who are full professors in the University of Waterloo, in Strickland's own physics and astronomy department: Dr. Kostadinka Bizheva and Dr. Melanie Campbell. Of them, Dr. Bizheva has a similar record to Dr. Strickland's, while Dr. Campbell's is honestly frightening in how impressive it is.
What is different about them?
Well, to start with, they applied.
So how does one become a full professor?
Well, how does one become an assistant professor? Adjunct professor?
How does the hierarchy work in academia anyway?
After doing this, there is a note I must make: Why do so many nobel laureates have multiple synchronous professorships?
(Also, note to future editors, there is another Donna Strickland who teaches at the University of Missouri and is also an associate professor. She teaches English though. There is also a Donna Strickland that passed away at age 72. Also one about a Principal Product Marketing Manager at SAS. It's a surprisingly common name)

Renzo Piano's Minimalist Cabin

The Vitra campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany is unlike any other – you probably recognize VitraHaus by Herzog & de Meuron:
The latest addition to its architecture collection is Diogene, a minimalist cabin designed by Renzo Piano and The Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW). The house represents a unique partnership between the architect and the furniture company, and makes you wonder just how few square feet you could get by living in.
While known for so many large iconic projects, tiny houses have always been a big interest of Piano's. The planning of the Diogene, which has a footprint of just 2.4 meters by 2.4 meters, was ten years in the making. When Vitra caught wind of the fact that he needed a partner, they made a big but logical from furniture into the minimalist house market.
While they still play with the idea of if and how to put the very functional little house into production, the prototype sits nestled in the grass on Vitra's campus. The house collects its own water and supplies its own electricity – you could go completely off the grid in this small home, which has Photovoltaic cells and solar modules, a rainwater tank, a biological toilet, natural ventilation and triple-glazed windows.
The large openings on the roof and the large window open it up, let in the light and make it feel a lot larger than a few dozen square feet, making such small-space living not only tolerable, but comfortable. The sofa folds out into a bed, and there is a tiny bathroom and kitchen inside. The little house can serve as a Thoreau-like retreat, a studio, a guest house or a place to get some solitude and peace just outside of a busy household. It could also be used as emergency housing after natural disasters. I can only hope it's something we can sell someday!

Phil Collinson, formerly a producer on "Born and Bred," "Linda Green" and the paranorma drama "Sea of Souls" currently airing on BBC1, is the new producer of the forthcoming Doctor Who series, joining Russell T. Davies, Mal Young and Julie Gardner. "I am delighted to be joining the team bringing back such an iconic and exciting series," Phil told Doctor Who Magazine. "I'm going to relish terrifying a whole new generation and putting such a well-loved character back on our TV screens where he belongs." In the latest issue of DWM, Russell T Davies notes that 13 episodes will be made, and he will be writing seven of them; the other six writers will be announced in only a few short weeks in issue 341 of DWM -- Outpost Gallifrey has been asked not to reveal them, though we do know the list (and that one original writer had a change of heart and decided not to submit a script after all.) He also notes that "Rose is only the first of the companions we've got planned," suggesting more companions will be added to the mix. Russell noted that he will be writing a regular column for the magazine starting with issue 341.

The Apollo archetype personifies the aspect of the personality that wants clear definitions, is drawn to master a skill, values order and harmony, and prefers to look at the surface, as opposed to beneath appearances. The Apollo archetype favors thinking over feeling, distance over closeness, objective assessment over subjective intuition.[1][2][3]
Early in the 20th century, Carl Gustav Jung sought to find a word that could describe the innate patterns of behaviour that govern our lives. Thus he introduced the term 'Archetypes' into modern psychology. Jung described archetypes as distinct themes manifesting in the fantasies and behaviour of his patients, and found these same themes visibly rendered in the arts, religions, myths, architecture, and social customs of all peoples. Because he did not want the term 'archetypes' to become yet another intellectual abstraction, Jung advanced various mythic images to illustrate them. For instance, the Goddess Demeter is a presentation of the archetypal mother; Zeus an archetypal father; Apollo the archetypal intellectual, and so on. Jung went on to personify many archetypes by using general expressions such as 'The Great Mother', 'Old Wise Man', 'Shadow archetype', etc. which have now become standard expressions in the field of Analytical Psychology. Jung writes "The fact that the unconscious spontaneously personifies is the reason why I have taken over these personifications in my terminology and formulated them in names".[4]
As with other archetypes, the Apollo archetype is not gender-specific.[1] "Women often find that a particular [male] god exists in them as well, just as I found that when I spoke about goddesses men could identify a part of themselves with a specific goddess. Gods and goddesses represent different qualities in the human psyche. The pantheon of Greek deities together, male and female, exist as archetypes in us all… There are gods and goddesses in every person."[5]
In addition to the many positive aspects of the Apollo archetype such as order, reason, moderation, harmoniousness, and unemotional perfection,[6] archetypal psychologist James Hillman suggests that the archetype may also manifest as a negative potential if it becomes overly dominant: "Apollo certainly presents a pattern that is disastrous, destructive for psychological life, cut off from everything that has to do with feminine ways, whether Cassandra or Creusa or Daphne — whomever he touches goes wrong — so that you have the feeling that Apollo simply doesn't belong where there is psyche."[7]
Of what she describes as the negative Apollonic influence, Dr. Shinoda-Bolen writes:
Individuals who resemble Apollo have difficulties that are related to emotional distance, such as communication problems, and the inability to be intimate… Rapport with another person is hard for the Apollo man. He prefers to access (or judge) the situation or the person from a distance, not knowing that he must "get close up" - be vulnerable and empathic - in order to truly know someone else…. But if the woman wants a deeper, more personal relationship, then there are difficulties… she may become increasingly irrational or hysterical.[8]

And when it comes time to relax, she shares one of our favorite go-to movies: 'Mean Girls'!
"It always makes me happy!" she says. "And I watched it on the 10th anniversary and it made me happy again."

English art and architecture
English art and architecture, the distinctive national art and architecture that art may be said to have evolved in the 12th cent. with the Norman style. Building before that time was in what is commonly called the Saxon or Anglo-Saxon style, which combined Roman and Celtic features; it is represented by sparse remains of monasteries, churches, and cathedral crypts, notable for the use of long-and-short ashlar stonework. These churches were small, relatively simple structures, having one or more towers and one or three aisles, with wooden or stone roofing.

WORCESTER — A city councilor says he intends to put a hold on City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr.'s effort to restore powers the Board of Health once had and reorganize the city's public health functions.
Councilor-at-Large Michael T. Gaffney has advised his colleagues of his intention to hold an item at Tuesday night's council meeting in which Mr. Augustus is seeking authorization to file special legislation to allow the city to change its Board of Health from an advisory board to a regulatory one.
Mr. Gaffney said he would like to see the City Council Public Health and Human Services Committee first hold a series of public meetings on the city manager's plan before a vote is taken on authorizing the manager to file the special legislation.
He said he opposes Mr. Augustus' plan because it would effectively remove the City Council from the process of approving regulations relative to public health.
"Not a single city councilor ran for office on a platform of growing and expanding the size of local government, reducing the authority of the City Council, or giving regulatory powers to an unelected body of bureaucrats to issue regulations," Mr. Gaffney said in a statement Monday.
"Such regulation proposed under the (Greater Worcester Region) Community Health Improvement Plan would require sex education for our children (with notice to parents), fluoridation, zoning changes, singling out overweight children at schools for 'treatment,' removing the elderly from their homes as the board deems fit under the guise of safety, as well as creating activist groups and determining public health policy without involving public input," he added.
Mr. Gaffney said case law upholds local health boards' authority to adopt regulations that are more restrictive than state standards so long as the regulations do not conflict with state law and are not specifically preempted.
"If the public desires to have the City Council yield and turn over its regulatory powers, then an open, transparent, and public process similar to the city manager search should be conducted by the Public Health and Human Services Committee," he said.
Mr. Augustus said his recommendation would empower the local health board with all powers of boards of health under state law.
He said the move would return powers to the Board of Health that it once had, rather than having them vested solely in one individual.
The special legislation would also allow for the appointment of a chief executive officer to run the Health Department, as well as create a new position of medical director.
Mr. Augustus pointed out that what he is recommending is something that had been proposed a few years ago by a city task force on public health, after budget cuts forced significant cutbacks in the city's Department of Public Health.
Those cutbacks led to the elimination of the Public Health Department as a free-standing department, as it was reorganized as a division within the city manager's executive office.

ASACP Highlighted in Law Review Article
ASACP Highlighted in Law Review Article
Tuesday, Jun 10, 2008
A new article in the California Western Law Review highlights the U.S. adult entertainment industry's efforts to keep children safe.
"Untangling Child Pornography From the Adult Entertainment Industry: An Inside Look at the Industry's Efforts to Protect Minors" was published by Robert D. Richards, a professor of journalism and law, and Clay Calvert, a professor of First Amendment studies. Both teach at Pennsylvania State University and are involved in the university's Center for the First Amendment.
The article prominently features information from many industry insiders and leaders, including Joan Irvine, CEO of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection; Paul Fishbein, chairman of the board of directors of AVN; industry attorneys Gregory Piccionelli and Clyde Dewitt; and Tom Hymes, executive editor of XBiz.
The article provides in-depth insight into the growing problem of child pornography and the U.S. adult entertainment industry's efforts to keep children safe. In the article, Irvine discusses the difficulty the adult industry faces in stopping politicians from linking adult entertainment to child pornography and in changing the public's perception about this conflation.
Irvine also discusses the "Restricted to Adults" website label and attorney Paul Cambria's labeling-related testimony before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
"There are so many misconceptions and erroneous assumptions about the adult entertainment industry, and this article, we believe, helps to correct some important ones," Calvert said. "In particular, the article makes it clear that the industry, with the important lead of ASACP, does not promote or otherwise have anything to do with the creation or distribution of child pornography. Indeed, the adult industry in southern California actively works against it."
According to Richards, the article "breaks new ground by demonstrating the vigorous efforts of the adult industry to keep minors away from adult content."
"The industry is so often unfairly criticized by academics who, by and large, are probably unaware of the RTA label and the good work of the ASACP," he added. "We hope the professors and academics who constantly blast the adult entertainment industry may now see things in a different light after reading this article."
"It is gratifying to finally see an article in a professional legal journal that is based on research by professors at Penn State University, which substantiates what ASACP and the industry has been stating for years: The adult entertainment industry is not involved in child pornography and does not want children to view their content," Irvine said. "We plan to share this research with legislators in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C., in hope that they will base future legislation on the reality that over 90 percent of the commercial child pornography is produced and distributed by organized crime in the Eastern Europe Bloc countries, not by the professional adult industry."The article is available online in the LexisNexis and Westlaw legal databases, and in hard-copy form at all law libraries and law-school libraries that subscribe to the California Western Law Review.

Netflix Inc. and CBS Corp. have expanded a multi-year licensing agreement to stream CBS shows.
The revised deal makes shows such as "The L.A. Complex," "The 4400" and "CSI: NY" available for streaming.
The agreement also includes shows already on Netflix, such as "Jericho," "Star Trek" and "Twin Peaks."
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
In 2011, the companies announced a two-year, non-exclusive licensing agreement to stream full seasons of shows such as "Frasier" and "Cheers."
Netflix and rival Amazon.com Inc.'s Prime Instant service have been competing for content deals.
Just last week, Netflix expanded its deal with PBS after Amazon made an agreement with PBS for kids' shows.
Also last week, Netflix landed a deal to stream seasons of Fox's "New Girl" after they broadcast.

One name: Willie Mays
As I write, the Yankees just left San Francisco and Ken just landed in Boston on a red eye, leaving behind the home of the Giants, where his all-time favorite baseball player – Willie Mays – played most of his career.
"He was a great all around player," said Ken of the center fielder. "He was exciting, he made the right plays at the right time, was a great home run hitter, a tremendous fielder, and a great base stealer and base runner."
In Cooperstown in 2007, when we attended Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn's inductions into the Hall of Fame, Ken and I bumped into Mr. Mays several times during the infamous weekend, once in the gift shop where we snapped this photo that caught Ken in an excited mode to meet and greet his favorite player.
The two had played against each other when Ken first arrived in the big leagues as a New York Met in 1970. In the first expansion of baseball to the west coast, the Giants moved to San Francisco in the late '50s, as did the Dodgers. That broke the heart of Ken's dad Joe – he never got over it.
Years later, the face-to-face interaction with Mr. Mays clearly thrilled Ken.
"If I had a ball, I would have asked him to sign it," he said, admittedly apprehensive and a bit nervous at the time. "I asked to take a picture together but I didn't want to be all over the guy, knowing how that feels."
Mr. Mays said he remembered Ken as a player, and asked if he was still doing TV. "Which I thought was nice," said Ken. "When I was a youngster, he was the man. He couldn't do anything wrong. I remember when the Giants moved."
Yet as a fan back then it was hard to follow the Dodgers and Giants. Communication wasn't nearly as effective as today.
"There was no Direct TV to watch every game," said Ken. "People back east wouldn't find out game results until the late edition of the newspaper."
2 Comments
Very fun/nice blog, Mrs. Singy. Very nice indeed.
Great that Ken got to meet Mays. You should throw up a list on here of people that you would like to meet. I'm sure Ken has some connections. Are you a Streisand fan? REO Speedwagon? Harrison Ford? Don't hold out on us now.
Wow.. what a neat thing. I went to my friend's HOF induction in '08 (Dick Williams) and who did I bump into in the Gift Shop???? Hank Aaron!! What a thrill. You must be enjoying the world you're in Suzanne! You're both very lucky to have each other.. you look like an incredibly happy couple. : )

You're one of the few people who have figured out where "Nata Harli" came from. I'd say you're showing your age but you're still a young pup.

Bangkok, March 19, 2014--In a mounting clampdown on Internet freedom in Vietnam, blogger Pham Viet Dao was sentenced to prison today for online posts critical of the Communist Party-led government, according to news reports. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the ruling and calls for his immediate release.
In a two-hour trial, Hanoi's People's Court ruled that dozens of Dao's blog entries violated Article 258 of the penal code, a vague and draconian law that bans "abusing democratic freedoms to infringe on the interests of the state." Dao, who was first taken into police custody in June 2013 and held in pre-trial detention until today's verdict, was handed a 15-month sentence, news reports said.
Judge Ngo Tu Hoc ruled that Dao's articles "distorted, vilified, and smeared" senior Communist Party leaders and that his blogging activities were "dangerous to society, causing anxiety among the public and reducing people's trust in the leadership of the Party and the state," according to news reports.
Dao represented himself in court without a lawyer and maintained his innocence of the anti-state charge. He said ahead of today's verdict he would appeal if found guilty, reports said.
A former Culture Ministry official and long-standing Communist Party member, Dao's critical articles about Vietnam's one-party system, top leaders, and the government's handling of ongoing territorial disputes with China were widely read in the blogosphere. His blog was inaccessible soon after his arrest last year.
"Today's conviction of Pham Viet Dao underscores Vietnam's reputation as one of the world's worst jailer of journalists," said Shawn Crispin, CPJ's senior Southeast Asia representative. "The notion that independent journalism could represent an 'abuse of democratic freedom' is simply farcical. Authorities should release Dao and all the other journalists now held on bogus anti-state charges."
Dao is the third Vietnamese journalist to be convicted in recent months under Article 258. Blogger Dinh Nhat Uy was given a 15-month suspended sentence and one year of house arrest last October for Facebook posts deemed by authorities to be anti-state propaganda. Earlier this month, blogger Truong Duy Nhat was sentenced to two years in prison for blog posts critical of the government.
With 18 reporters behind bars, Vietnam is the fifth worst jailer of journalists in the world, according to CPJ's annual prison census conducted on December 1. Of those behind bars, 16 have been imprisoned for their online work, CPJ research shows.

645D Has Interchangeable Digital Back?
Here found a series of leaked images of a prototype 645D:-
It seems that this version of the 645D is a real Evil! It has interchangeable digital back or sensor!
However, the above shown prototype is not the latest version, as the back colour LCD display is just smaller than the prototype that has just been shown at the PIE lately. Let's see if the final production version will have this evil feature or it was just made for convenience as a testing prototype in which the sensor could be changed.

Oral History Interview with James Phinney, July 15, 2010
Description: Interview with James (Jim) Phinney, an aircraft electrician for the U. S. Navy during Wold War II. He discusses joining the Navy, going through boot camp and becoming an aircraft electrician. He was assigned to the USS Lexington but abandoned ship after it was hit by a torpedo. He was rescued and was then sent to San Diego to be reassigned to the USS Enterprise. He mentions being at Guadalcanal and later aboard a sub-chaser. The crew crossed the Equator and consequently participated in an initiation ceremony, during which time Admiral Halsey was nearly shot by one of the ship's pilots who forgot to lock his gun. He also recalls some of the food he ate while at sea.

Release Date: 2011 |
Album Rating: 2.5i was about to write a 2.5 review...whatever. even though this is probably significantly better than my review will be, i'm still gonna write one. haha
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offdon't let me stop you!
and if i needed a quote to accompany this review, i'll steal from the ineffable britta perry: "Maybe, if you put stain remover on a turd, you don't get a diamond. You just get a turd, with less direction in life."
Album Rating: 3.0This is an accurate review... one that this album really needed. Too many fanboys reviewing it at the moment. Only thing I disagree with is comparing Mike to Spencer Chamberlain in any way at all.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offhe doesn't sound alike to chamberlain, no, but when he's doing that yelling tripe, i don't really question where he gets his influence from knowing how much this band loves underoath...
Album Rating: 3.0Oooh okay.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offlakes: that would make sense given that this is average, yes
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffAwesome review. Mike has for sure improved. And even though breakdowns are over used in the Metalcore genre, when Prada does them (at least now) they are enjoyable and fit the song and aren't just random. They wouldn't be Prada without some chug chug breakdowns here and there.
Album Rating: 2.5imo Hranica is more than slightly grating and i think the yelling style vocals might just be is voice breaking down but anyway good review.
you remember those december days waior back in 09
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offpretty sure i rated their other album when i was 15 so check again
it's a 2
such waior the days relinque
Looking forward to hearing this
Digging: Black Devil Disco Club - Disco Club
Album Rating: 4.0why would they put this review as the main one?
Album Rating: 3.5I thought taxidermist's was the main one? Every time I click the album, his pops up, not this one.
Album Rating: 3.52/6? This is a good review.
Good review, though a few parts read strangely z.B.
And even if 'Kansas', the album's only instrumental, just barely can't manage to be the best song on the album
that line reads strange as does this phrase
The Devil Wears Prada prove capable of this too few a time.
Never been a fan of the band, probably will pass this one by though it's remarkable how a Christian bands artwork progresses.
Album Rating: 4.0homepage*
Album Rating: 3.5Love to hear your insight on the album, Waior! (Not a TDWP fanboy like that Durrzo guy said though, lol). Review read more like a 3 to me. Have a pos, cheers.
So what part of the colour spectrum is this?
Digging: Lapalux - Amnioverse
Album Rating: 1.0waior
the only good review for this album.

Queen Victoria (1819-1901)
Christian tradition held that women should suffer the pain of childbirth. Queen Victoria clearly did not share this point of view. After suffering the pain of delivering seven children without any anaesthetic, she was more than willing to try the latest drug available to ensure the pain-free birth of her eighth child. That drug was chloroform.
Prince Albert (1819-61), Queen Victoria's husband, was well informed about anaesthesia. In early April 1853 he summoned its leading English practitioner for an interview at Buckingham Palace. John Snow had achieved notoriety in his use of anaesthetics, especially chloroform. The Church of England and Sir James Clark, the Queen's senior physician, were unsure about the innovation of pain relief during childbirth and felt that the Queen should not use the same drug that many common women used. But on 7 April 1853, Snow administered chloroform at the birth of Prince Leopold. Snow also administered chloroform for the birth of Princess Beatrice in 1857.
'Her Majesty is a model patient,' declared Snow. He was fortunate that there were no complications as childbirth, especially royal childbirth, was unnerving even for a well-known and highly competent practitioner - and even more so for a pioneering anaesthetist.

In addition, the metadata is minimal or non-existent, and if it does exist is only interpretable by the researcher and their colleagues or students. Over time, the chance that this data will be lost or useful knowledge about it forgotten by the researcher increases, and the information content of the data and metadata rapidly decreases. Some events can seriously accelerate this decrease: data loss (media failure, computer replacement, other serious accidents or failures, etc); change of careers and retirement; and the death of the researcher.
This common scenario was first described in published form in 1997 (to my knowledge) in a paper entitled: Nongeospatial Metadata for the Ecological Sciences (citation below). It included a very expressive diagram, which I have re-created for another paper, and you can see it below:

What We Do
Every year, we work with more than 600 nonprofit partners—including food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers—to distribute over 60 million meals to more than 755,000 people in 29 counties across metro Atlanta and north Georgia. See our service area map.
We are a member of Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity.
Who We Serve
Food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters, and senior centers are among the agencies that receive product from the Food Bank. In turn, these partner agencies provide food and other critical resources for low-income Georgians who suffer from hunger and food insecurity.
How it Works
The Food Bank utilizes more than 1,700 volunteers a month, over 150 staff members, a large fleet of trucks and a 129,000 square-foot facility to procure and distribute food and grocery items received from hundreds of donors. Our donors include manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, brokers, restaurants, food drives, gardens and individuals. The product is easily accessed by our partner agencies. They place their orders online and arrange for pick up or delivery. Once the food arrives at the agency, it is provided to families and individuals in need. See our product flow infographic.
It Starts With Food, but it Doesn't Stop There.
The mission of the Atlanta Community Food Bank is to fight hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community. While our core work is food distribution, our efforts extend far beyond that. Our mission is lived out every day through seven projects that help engage, educate and empower both people in need and those who want to help. From supporting community gardens to assisting people in finding economic security, the Food Bank covers a wide range of opportunities for people to learn and get involved. Our seven projects are Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, Atlanta's Table, Community Gardens, Hunger 101, Hunger Walk/Run, Kids In Need and Product Rescue Center. Learn more about ACFB's seven community projects.

What is the mission of the Atlanta Community Food Bank?
The mission of the Atlanta Community Food Bank is to fight hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community.
How does the Food Bank fight hunger?
The Food Bank procures and distributes over 60 million pounds of food and grocery products each year, and distributes that product to more than 600 nonprofit partner agencies with food assistance programs across 29 metro Atlanta and north Georgia counties. We also operate seven projects that enhance our mission: Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, Atlanta's Table, Community Gardens, Hunger 101, Hunger Walk/Run, Kids In Need and Product Rescue Center.
Does the Food Ban provide direct service to people in need of food assistance?
The Food Bank does not provide direct service to families and individuals, but rather to our network of partner agencies. We provide bulk quantities of product to these agencies, and they use the product received from us to provide meals and groceries directly to their clients – the families and individuals seeking food assistance.
What exactly is a Food Bank partner agency?
Our partner agencies are 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that operate food assistance programs. Some provide hot meals; some distribute groceries and others do both. Our partner agencies include food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters, senior centers and more.
Who are the clients that come to the Food Bank's partner agencies for food assistance?
Our partner agencies' clients are people who are food insecure - they don't have the financial resources to access enough nutritious food to live a healthy life. Clients include families with or without children, individuals and seniors. There has never been a time in the history of food banking that more people have been facing hunger and food insecurity. Nearly 19% of Georgia's population is food insecure. That includes more than one in every five Georgia children and one in every ten seniors.
Where does the food come from?
Much of the food is donated from the food and hospitality industry. Food and product donors include manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, brokers, restaurants, food drives, gardens and individuals. The Food Bank also receives government commodities from the USDA, and we are able to purchase high nutrition food through a grant from the state of Georgia.
Where does funding for the Food Bank come from?
Donations come from individuals, businesses, private foundations, civic organizations, faith-based groups, schools, government and more. We also rely on pro bono assistance for equipment, services and supplies, as well as sponsorships for special events. For every dollar spent, 95 cents (including the value of all donated food) goes directly to services in the community.
How long has the Food Bank been in existence?
The Food Bank began in 1979 in the basement of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. In the early days, food was distributed to less than 50 nonprofits with food assistance programs!
How can I get involved?
You can donate, volunteer, advocate, attend a fundraising event, and much more! See all of your options here.
The Atlanta Community Food Bank's main facility is located at 732 Joseph E. Lowery Blvd., N.W. Atlanta, GA 30318. We also have a second facility next door at 970 Jefferson St., N.W. Atlanta, GA 30318. Get directions to ACFB.
To reach our reception desk between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., call 404-892-9822.
The FOod Bank utilizes a staff of more than 150 employees to bring our mission to life each and every day. We also have two boards – a governing board and an advisory board.

In June, Army Reserve Officer and University of Houston College of Optometry (UHCO) alumnus Dr. Ben Uhl learned he was shipping off to care for the eyes of American and NATO soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in Afghanistan. As he made his way through the war-torn country, Uhl soon realized that he was not the only Houston Cougar serving in this capacity.
Upon arriving in Afghanistan, Uhl synced up with three additional UHCO graduates providing eye care to the troops. Fellow graduates Drs. David Miller, Danny Elizando and Kerry Phelan also are stationed in Afghanistan, solely responsible for the eye care of the more than 90,000 troops stationed in the country. The services they are providing have proven especially valuable considering that recent data has shown eye injuries account for roughly 10 percent of all battlefield wounds.
"We're a critical wartime specialty shortage, so they need us," said Uhl. "There are certain military occupational specialties that the Army doesn't have enough of, and optometry is one of them."
Uhl is currently stationed at Kandahar Airfield, a NATO facility, and tasked with setting up a new clinic. NATO and American troops, locals and detainees all will benefit from the treatment provided by clinic staff. Uhl will be deployed for 400 days, but the clinic will likely remain even after the American military operations are complete.
Not long into his deployment, Uhl began to cross paths with his Cougar connections. In July, he met up with Miller in Kabul and learned that UHCO class of 2007 graduate Phelan also was stationed in Afghanistan. Elizando rounds out the group of alumni, having graduated from UHCO in 1979. Elizando subsequently went to medical school and later became an ophthalmologist.
"Uhl, Miller, Elizando and Phelan are great role models for our students and the UH community," said Earl Smith, UHCO dean. "All of us here at UHCO wish them success with their missions and a safe return home."
Prior to his current deployment, Uhl served four years in the Army, including Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He returned to the United States after his tours and entered optometry school at UHCO. By 2008, he graduated with honors and continued to serve as a reservist. Shortly thereafter, Uhl's passion for eye care and serving his country would lead him to Afghanistan, and beyond the mountains of Panama, where he treated more than 1,000 Panamanians in only 10 days. When not deployed, Uhl practices at Plymouth County Eye Care in Le Mars, Iowa, and Sergeant Bluff Eye Care in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.
The University of Houston is a comprehensive national research institution serving the globally competitive Houston and Gulf Coast Region by providing world-class faculty, experiential learning and strategic industry partnerships. UH serves 37,000 students in the nation's fourth-largest city in the most ethnically and culturally diverse region in the country.
About the UH College of Optometry
Since 1952, the University of Houston College of Optometry (UHCO) has educated and trained optometrists to provide the highest quality vision care. One of only 20 optometry schools in the country, UHCO offers a variety of degree programs, including Doctor of Optometry (O.D.), a combined Doctor of Optometry/Doctor of Philosophy (O.D./Ph.D.), Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). UHCO serves an average of 36,000 patients a year through The University Eye Institute and its satellite clinics.

Trick-or-Treat, In Reverse
If an anime ninja comes knocking at your door this Halloween talking about the plight of cacao farmers in West Africa, it's probably Emilie Reitz.
Emilie, a seventh-grader from North Bend, Wash., was shocked when her best friend, Rachel Donka, told her that the Hershey bars and other chocolate products she loved came, in part, from the labor of kids in places like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Indonesia. "Most people don't know about this," she reflected later, "so I wanted to understand what went into the things I used. And I wanted other people to start asking questions, too."
This year both girls are participating in Reverse Trick-or-Treating, an annual tradition initiated four years ago by activists promoting fair wages and treatment for farmers. Instead of just going door to door asking for candy, an anticipated quarter of a million Reverse Trick-or-Treaters are bringing the chocolate to you—fairly traded, bite-sized morsels glued to cards that explain widespread human rights violations occurring on non-fair trade cacao farms around the world.
Reverse Trick-or-Treating is a project of Global Exchange, a human rights organization that promotes Fair Trade Certification as the best alternative to, well, unfair trade. Other fair trade organizations and businesses partner on the campaign, but the program is more than an opportunity for fair trade businesses to push their own products. It has twin goals: convincing major players in the chocolate industry, like Hershey, to switch to fairly sourced cacao, and teaching children the value of activism before they've learned the meaning of cynicism. It takes "a gimme gimme holiday," said one participating parent, and turns it "into a giving back holiday."
Life isn't fair, we tell our children, and by the time they're teenagers, many have resigned themselves to this reality. But younger children ignite with fervent idealism: Why isn't life fair? Why not a fairer world? Any parent knows the passionate protest of a child who senses the slightest injustice. While they may not fully grasp the complexities of NAFTA or the International Monetary Fund, two things they do understand are chocolate and the concept of fairness.
Injustice in the cacao industry is an issue that children naturally connect to, says Adrienne Fitch-Frankel, fair trade campaign director for Global Exchange. They make up one of the biggest groups of chocolate consumers, and they get upset when they learn their peers are being exploited. "There are kids who are growing up in cocoa communities that have never tasted chocolate–for a child that's a basic human rights issue," says Fitch-Frankel. "They grow chocolate but they don't get to eat it. They don't even get to play."
While some key chocolate-producing companies have made moves towards fairly sourced cacao, the organizations behind Reverse Trick-or-Treating are targeting one that, in their view, hasn't: the Hershey Company, which controls a 40 percent share of the U.S. chocolate market.
In September, Hershey released its very first Corporate Social Responsibility report, devoting two pages to the problem of child labor on cacao farms. Some activist organizations found this insufficient, and soon came back with a retort: a 42-page exposé on the most egregious rights violations in the global cacao sector.
This counter-report, titled "Time To Raise The Bar: The Real Corporate Social Responsibility Report for the Hershey Company," was authored by the International Labor Rights Forum, Green America, and Oasis USA, along with Global Exchange. It spotlights the troubles faced by cacao farmers who struggle to feed their families on low wages. Many children can't go to school because their families need them in the fields, supplementing their income. Others without family support systems seek employment on their own, or are trafficked to the fields as slave labor. They face health hazards like overexposure to pesticides, as well as physical and sexual abuse.
In 2001 a group of corporations with interests in cacao, including Hershey, signed on to the Harkin-Engel Protocol, a voluntary, self-policing attempt to eliminate child labor from the growing and manufacturing of cacao. While the initiative is lauded within the industry, critics complain that it does little to rectify the structural problems that propel the involvement of children in cacao production. Fitch-Frankel argues that Hershey has done much within the U.S. to better the lives of children, but has had little impact in the lives of African children who grow their beans. As signatories to the Harkin-Engel Protocol, the counter-report argues, the company is committed to addressing the root causes of child labor in these areas-–but so far it has no policies in place to safeguard the labor of cacao farmers, and has continually declined to publicize information on its cacao sources.
A change in Hershey's policies could help shift the entire chocolate industry to fairer practices. When British confectioner Cadbury switched to fair trade cacao for its iconic Dairy Milk Bars (though not the ones sold in the U.S., which are produced by Hershey), it demonstrated that a major company could create a bestselling fair trade candy bar.
Slavery Goes Public:
Are the products you buy tainted by slavery and child labor? A new California law can help you find out.
The desire to show solidarity with cacao farmers has galvanized fledgling activists like Emilie and Rachel, who at the age of 12 have renounced non-certified fair trade chocolate. Emilie and her mother sell fairly traded products every week after church, and Rachel has convinced the rest of her family to follow her own lead when it comes to chocolate (except for her 15-year-old brother, on whom she is still working). "The hardest part," she says, "is when he tells me how delicious a piece of unfair chocolate tastes."
Rachel is also promoting fair trade chocolate in a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where she plays the lead, Charlie Bucket. When she passed out fair trade chocolate and information cards to fellow cast members, several friends told her they went home to research on the Internet for themselves.
Promoting fair trade chocolate through exercises like this and Reverse Trick-or-Treating provides kids an entrée into the universe of social activism. Children are too often underestimated and even dismissed when it comes to sparking social change, notes Fitch-Frankel.
For Emilie and Rachel, it starts on the block, backstage, and with their friends and family. They hope to run their own booth at a local Girl Scouts conference next year:
"We'll start by educating about chocolate, because that's what kids my age care about," says Rachel. "Then maybe coffee … tea … handicrafts … who knows?"

Swimming Pool Blog
by Myles McMorrow, March 25, 2009
As a father of an active toddler, swimming pool safety is always on my mind these days. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov) did a study on drowning in the USA .The results revealed that 75% of submersion victims were 1-3 years old, 65% of whom were boys.
Accordingly, toddlers were more at risk because of their ever-changing capabilities and attempts at autonomy particular to their age group. Interestingly, swimming pool laws were somehow being followed as most victims were being supervised by one or more parent at the time of the accident.
Moreover, these children were not expected to be near the pool 69% of the time and yet they were discovered in the water. Most of these submersion accidents happened in a familiar place—in swimming pools owned by the family (65%) and in pools owned by a relative or a friend (33%).
- Florida has a law that every door and window facing the pool from the house must have a separate alarm that sounds out a 110 DB siren when opened.
- New York every pool in the state must have an approved pool alarm installed on them. This approved devises will sound an alarm at the pool and also inside the house, when an object weighting more than 8 lbs is dropped into the pool.
- In Arizona, every pool must have a 5 foot fence around it with a self closing gate that swings away from the pool.
- In California, all pool construction,including renovations, will have to include two drowning-prevention devices, as well as dual main drains and anti-entrapment drain covers. Current law mandates one barrier on new pools, and does not address existing vessels.

Fixed Income: Currency
Our approach to Currency
J.P. Morgan Asset Management is a leading provider of currency management solutions to institutional and retail clients around the world. We have more than 30 years' experience managing currency exposures separately from underlying assets. We have offered active and passive currency hedging strategies since 1989 and launched our Dynamic Intelligent and Dynamic Insurance Currency Hedging strategies in 2012. Our clients include governments, pension funds, insurance and fund providers.
The dedicated Currency Management Group specialise in offering customised currency solutions, tailored to the specific requirements of each client, whether that is generating excess returns from the movements of exchange rates, or controlling the currency risk inherent in cross border investments and liabilities. Clients are able to choose their strategic currency benchmark and hedge ratio as well as the blend of investment strategies, aggressiveness levels and risk parameters.
To view our latest Currency Insights please click here
Our key strategies are outlined below:
Passive Currency Hedging - simple, low cost approach
Our passive currency hedging strategy seeks to effectively target a tracking error consistent with the client's requirements, whilst ensuring best execution and minimization of transaction costs. The hedging strategy is implemented with careful consideration of cash flows and hedging costs within a risk controlled framework. It is a simple, low cost approach to managing currency risk. The objective of the tailored passive currency hedging program is to effectively reduce the volatility from foreign currency movements relative to 'doing nothing'. The strategy aims to manage this unrewarded currency risk in the client's international portfolio through a static hedge of the foreign currency exposures back to the base currency. It is implemented using currency forwards with the objective of minimizing tracking error relative to the benchmark, whilst at the same time controlling transaction costs and efficiently managing cash flows.
Dynamic 'Intelligent' Currency Hedging – cycle aware valuation adjustment
The strategy aims to help investors by dynamically adjusting the hedge ratio in a consistent and transparent way to benefit from those periods when there are clear and significant misalignments in the valuation of the developed markets currencies in the portfolio relative to the base currency that are unsustainable and likely to mean-revert towards fair value. The objective of the strategy is to both reduce the volatility from foreign currency movements and add longer-term value relative to a static hedge ratio by identifying and capturing medium-term turning points in currency valuation cycles.
Active Currency Management – generating alpha
We believe that the foreign exchange markets are inefficient, as the majority of market participants trade currencies without a profit motive. Instead, transactions are predominantly driven by the demand for goods and assets. We have built our investment process to capture these persistent inefficiencies by analysing a range of fundamental, quantitative and technical factors for each currency. By combining these inputs, we aim to buy cheap attractive currencies and to sell those that are expensive and unattractive. Our investment style is multi-disciplined and diversified. We seek to capture the primary drivers of a broad range of global currencies as consistently as possible. The approach is to build a portfolio of active currency positions based on their relative fundamentals, incorporating different timeframes, macro-themes and idiosyncratic views. We believe a combination of both quantitative and qualitative assessments is the best way to add value for our clients. Our philosophy and approach has remained consistent since 1989.

The New Jersey-based wrestling league Pro Wrestling Syndicate has a guy wrestling for them who goes by the name Star Man. The inspiration for his character? The star-faced character from the old Nintendo Entertainment System game Pro Wrestling (the one the "A Winner is You" meme comes from.)
Star Man isn't in the big leagues yet, so on Monday, at a big WWE "Monday Night Raw" show, he tried to get some attention. There he was in the audience, dressed in his Star Man get-up, trying to get noticed by the crowd.
Security noticed and escorted him away.
A winner is Star Man? At least in terms of generating this modicum of publicity...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has refused to review the hate crime conviction of a New Mexico man who participated in branding a swastika on the arm of a Navajo man with mental disabilities.
The court acted Monday in the case of William Hatch, among the first people charged under a 2009 law targeting hate crimes involving disabilities or sexual orientation. Hatch and two other men lured Vincent Kee from a McDonald's in Farmington, N.M., to an apartment where they used a metal coat hanger to burn the swastika onto Kee's arm.
Hatch pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit a federal hate crime.
The case is Hatch v. U.S., 13-6765.

Are, Sweden, an alpine-skiing resort area in central Sweden's Jamtland province, is garnering increasing attention from the ski industry. Are served as host of the 2007 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships and also held a number of annual international events. Consequently, the number of international visitors to Are is rising.
Part of the appeal is the terrain, comprising more than 100 trails that range from novice to high-adrenaline expert runs and off-piste acreage.
Children have not been forgotten in Are. Full-service ski clubs for youngsters include on-slope instruction, tobogganing and a kid-friendly version of apres ski.
Are also features a menu of off-slope activities, from guided snowmobiling tours through the mountains and across icy lakes to dogsledding, paragliding, horseback riding and Icelandic pony trekking.
Another attraction in Are is the zipline, billed as the longest in Europe. It whisks visitors along cables for an aerial view of the scenery at fast speeds.
Visitors also can explore the frozen waterfalls and ice caves of Tannforsen nearby, get an up-close look at a moose at the Millest Moose Farm or taste the homemade pralines and truffles at the Are Chokladfabrik chocolate factory.
Are has been Sweden's largest mountain biking area since the 1990s, and the area has many graded trails. The 1999 UCI Mountain Bike and Trial World Championship and the 2007 Nordic Championships were held there.
Are village, once a tiny copper mining town, now offers a quaint mix of shopping, cafes, bakeries and high-end eateries. There are about 60 restaurants, bars and clubs in the area. Many of the restaurants serve lunch on the slopes, and the apres-ski scene is hopping, from bars with live music and dancing to clubs with elegant cocktails.
The village of Are is accessible by train and also via Are-Ostersund Airport in Ostersund and Trondheim Airport, Vaernes, which is located in Stjordal, Nord-Trondelag, Norway.

Vizio is tearing up CES with its new PCs and 10-inch tablet. But it's also announced some new TVs which look pretty sweet, too.
The new 65-inch versions of both Vizio's M- and R- lines feature VIA Plus — the company's customized spin on Google TV. And after some delays last year, it's also offering up three 21:9 "CinemaWide" ultrawidescreen WFHD (2560x1080) models, like that pictured above. They come in sizes of 50-, 58- and 71-inches with 3D and Yahoo! Widgets, bringing the 21:9 aspect ratio to US shores for the first time.
Vizio's current E3D series will also be joined by the M3D series in a 47- and 55-inch model, the latter of which includes a Bluetooth QWERTY remote. There's also going to be an R3D series, which comes with better backlighting.
Prices and ship dates for all the new TVs are still under wraps, but we should be taking a look at these in the flesh real soon. [Vizio]

B003B OBD2 specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is over-retarded, the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set.
The sensors receive a 5 volt reference signal from the PCM. As pressure readings change, the sensor varies the voltage and the computer reads that to determine input. In the case of a broken wire, the sensor never sees the voltage and the computer assumes a major fault. So if you get this B003B code, first check to make sure you're getting a good 5 volt reference signal at the sensor.
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1 Circuit Low and P2127 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 Circuit Low would lead you to suspect a defective accelerator pedal position sensor.
Disconnected, dirty or fouled spark plugs are common causes for engines that won't start. Spark plugs typically need to be replaced every season or 25 hours of use. You should also check that the spark plug gap is set properly. If your spark plugs look good, problems with your ignition system can also preventing a spark. These can range from a faulty spark plug lead, shorted kill switch or flywheel key damage.
