|Hole—a dark, decrepit, and disorderly district where the strong prey on the weak and death is an ordinary occurrence. A realm separated from law and ethics, it is a testing ground to the magic users who dominate it. As a race occupying the highest rungs of their society, the magic users think of the denizens of Hole as no more than insects. Murdered, mutilated, and made experiments without a second thought. Possessing free access to and from the cesspool, and with little challenge to their authority, the magic users appear indomitable to most—aside for a few. Kaiman is one such individual.
Golden Kamuy
|In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi "Immortal" Sugimoto scratches out a meager existence during the postwar gold rush in the wilderness of Hokkaido. When he stumbles across a map to a fortune in hidden Ainu gold, he sets off on a treacherous quest to find it. But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold will kill to possess it! Faced with the harsh conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals and rogue Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck to survive.
Ghost Tower
|In the 1950s, an old woman was brutally murdered on the face of a clock tower by her adopted daughter. Two years later, the clock tower is known as the 'ghost tower' and it is supposedly haunted. Through an unusual series of events, a young man named Amano is attacked by someone or something in the same clock tower, and finds himself bound to the clock face to be killed in the same way as the old woman. Luckily for Amano, he doesn't meet the same fate. He's rescued by a mysterious person. The person is searching for a treasure that is connected with the ghost tower and asks Amano to be his partner.
Green World
|In the year 2017, the vegetation in Tokyo suddenly rose up to apocalyptic levels. Plants began to devour people and completely overtake the land. The few people who were able to escape being turned into literal plant food escaped to the underground subways. Amongst them is Akira, who gets separated from his childhood friend in the chaos. He swears to find her, but three months pass with him in the subways unable to do anything. When a shortage in supplies forces some of the group to travel to the surface, they encounter the survivor Iwatobi. Now the fight is on to find a new shelter and supplies.

As you know I am a big fan of drawing all different kinds of skulls. Two days ago I sketched out a drawing that I have never submitted before nor drew. Today, for my first lesson, I will show you "how to draw a chibi skull, step by step". This is a very fun concept to sketch out and I guarantee that you will love drawing this type of skull. Skull art has become somewhat of a modern day concept that is seen almost everywhere, and on everything. One of the more popular kind of skull art is created from tattoo artists. I guess you could say that the popularity of the human head shell has increased over time since it's start in the early sixties when rebellion, freedom of speech and civil rights where really strong and out there. I mean back then, you really couldn't tell someone that they weren't allowed to say or do something. I have fun sketching skull designs because it enables me to use my creative energy which brings out my message through art. Chibi characters in themselves have become almost just as popular as tattoo art, so why not draw a chibi skull, that is cool, and simple. You can choose to embroid anything you want on the bone's surface, or you can even mess around with the concept by adding a bow, tie, or what have you. I will be back later with some more fun art to look at, learn from, and comment on. See you soon, and remember to have fun drawing, peace peeps!

Air toxics are emitted from many types of sources. These sources of air pollution are generally categorized as point, area, and mobile (on-road and non-road) sources.
Point Sources: A point source is a stationary facility or process that emits a significant amount of air pollution during manufacturing, power generation, heating, incineration, or other such activity. For the National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA), USEPA calls this category "Major Sources," and included in it are just those sources which emit at least 10 tons per year of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP), or at least 25 tons per year total of any HAPs. Major point sources include power plants; refineries; municipal waste incinerators; toxic waste transfer, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs); large TRI sources (facilities that are required to report their emissions under the Toxic Release Inventory program); and other sources that must report emissions under other state and federal programs.
Area Sources: These are small sources of air pollution which by themselves may not emit very much, but when their emissions are added together, they account for a significant portion of the total emissions of air toxics. In NATA, USEPA refers to this category as "Area and Other Sources," and includes small industrial sources that fall below the "major source" threshold (meaning that annually they emit less than 10 tons of any one HAP or 25 tons of a combination of HAPs). Area sources are often too small or too numerous to be inventoried individually. The following are grouped under area sources in NATA:
Mobile Sources are divided into two categories:
As part of NATA, USEPA prepares a comprehensive list of air toxics emissions for the entire country. This emissions inventory is briefly reviewed and revised by each state before being finalized by USEPA. Although there are bound to be some errors in the details of such a massive undertaking, the inventory does give us a good indication of which are the most important sources of air toxic emissions in our state. As can be seen from the pie chart below, mobile sources are the largest contributors of air toxics emissions in New Jersey, with on-road mobile sources accounting for 34%, and non-road mobile sources contributing 28%. Area sources represent 28% of the inventory. The remaining 5% of the inventory is attributable to major point sources.
Note that this pie chart does not include emissions of diesel particulate matter. For a discussion of diesel emissions, click here. The 1996 and 1999 NATA results were discussed on this website previously, and can still be accessed by clicking 1996 or 1999. However, USEPA emphasizes that the methods used to conduct emissions inventories vary somewhat from year to year, so the results are not exactly comparable.
When the New Jersey emissions estimates are broken down by county, it is evident that the areas with the largest air toxic emissions are generally those with the largest population. This is directly related to high levels of vehicle use, residential fuel burning, solvent use, and other population-related types of activities in those counties.
Charts for 1996 and 1999 are available for viewing. However, USEPA emphasizes that the methods used to conduct emissions inventories vary somewhat from year to year, so the results are not exactly comparable.
Concentrations of some air toxics are dominated not by local emissions, but by what USEPA refers to as "background." These concentrations can be attributed to long-range pollutant transport, unidentified emission sources and past emissions. A detailed description of how USEPA came up with these "background concentrations" can be found on USEPA's NATA web site.
For eight air toxics that are of concern in New Jersey in the 2002 NATA, USEPA estimated background concentrations that are higher than their respective health benchmarks. These pollutants are:
To gain a better understanding of the significance of these background concentrations, we have compared the percent contribution of each source category (major, area, on-road mobile and non-road mobile, plus background) to the total statewide average risk ratio. In the table below, you can see that background contributes 100% of the predicted risk from carbon tetrachloride, which is no longer in use and therefore no longer emitted in the state. Concentrations of methyl chloride and arsenic compounds are also primarily background, and not emissions.

A Buyer's guide to Electro stimulators for sport and performance
Sports and performance electro stimulators are designed to meet a series of objectives, such as:
- · Improving physical preparation.
- · Building up muscle strength.
- · Improving stamina.
- · Accelerating recovery after training.
- · Alleviating muscle pains and pain in the joints.
Achieving these objectives will greatly depend on the type of programmes the electro stimulator has:
· Warm up programmes: Avoid injuries and maximize the results of the workout.
· Specific Sports programmes: Work on stamina, develop muscle mass and contribute to building up strength and improving muscle recovery quickly and efficiently after intense effort.
· Fitness programmes: Define muscles and make them firm and toned.
· Cross- training programmes: Combine different types of stimulation, so that the muscle is trained to withstand moderate intensity and long periods of work.
· Anti-pain programmes: Alleviate pains such as cervical, lumbar or thoracic pains.
· Vascular programme: Alleviates heavy legs, stimulates lymphatic drainage or prevents cramp.
· Specific rehabilitation programmes: Sports activity is resumed with progressive training, after bone or joint injuries treated with immobilization and/or a surgical operation.
· Massage programmes: These can be relaxing, regenerating or invigorating.
Wireless technology
Is it better to have a wireless or wired electro stimulator?
The fact that an electro stimulator is wireless or not mainly affects comfort and possibilities of use. It has been demonstrated that training with an electro stimulator considerably improves performance and, therefore, maximizes results. In order to train with these apparatus and also have the greatest freedom of movement possible, a wireless device is recommendable. But if you do not intend to combine its use with your workouts, electro stimulators with a wired connection will adapt perfectly to your activities.

Mike Judge's "Beavis and Butt-Head" Premieres Thursday, October 27 at 10:00 P.M., Followed By "Good Vibes" at 10:30 P.M. ET/PT
SANTA MONICA, CA (OCTOBER 24, 2011) - MTV is launching an all-new animated comedy block this Thursday, October 27, with the premieres of Mike Judge's "Beavis and Butt-Head" at 10:00 p.m., followed by new series from creator David Gordon Green, "Good Vibes" at 10:30 p.m., featuring the voice talent of Adam Brody, Josh Gad, Danny McBride and Debi Mazar, among others.
In 1993, Mike Judge, creator of "Beavis and Butt-Head," and MTV knocked their heads together and launched a cartoon series starring a couple of lunkheads, and unwittingly started an animated pop culture revolution. Almost as soon as the world's most famous slacker teenagers wearing heavy-metal T-shirts reared their heads, they became self-appointed arbiters of "cool." But, for the most part, Beavis and Butt-Head spent their time just sitting on a couch making fun of what they watched on television.
Now, the boys who created a cultural dialogue for an entire generation, "Beavis and Butt-Head," are coming back to MTV on Thursday, October 27 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. They make their triumphant return to unleash their hilarious and biting commentary on today's society, music and pop culture. Commenting on everything from music videos, reality TV shows like "Jersey Shore," movies, mixed martial arts, viral videos and more, Beavis and Butt-Head are returning to your television screen, giving familiar fans and a whole new audience the chance to laugh at America's favorite animated dim-witted duo.
"Good Vibes," a half-hour animated coming-of-age comedy premiering on MTV on Thursday, October 27 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, follows transplanted Jersey boy Mondo (voiced by Josh Gad, "The Book of Mormon") and his best bud Woodie (voiced by Adam Brody, "The O.C."), as they surf the biggest waves, hit the wildest parties and chase the prettiest girls in Play Del Toro - a colorful California beach community.
The all-star ensemble cast also features Debi Mazar ("Entourage") as 'Babs' Mondo's mom; Alan Tudyk ("Suburgatory," "Serenity") as 'Lonnie,' a burnt-out but wise beach bum; Danny McBride ("Eastbound & Down") as 'Ms. Teets,' a massively overweight and inappropriate human sexuality teacher; Olivia Thirlby ("Bored to Death") as 'Jeena,' the beautiful girl of Mondo's dreams; Jake Busey ("Starship Troopers," "The Good Guys") as 'Turk,' an obnoxious local surfer and bully; and Tony Hale ("Arrested Development) as 'Wadska,' a charmingly nerdy and delusional friend.
Check out the full first episode sneak peek on MTV.com, which will be available until Tuesday, October 25: http://on.mtv.com/r9502i.
"Good Vibes" was created by David Gordon Green ("Pineapple Express," "Your Highness") and is animated by Six Point Harness. Along with Green, executive producers are Tom Brady ("The Simpsons"), Tom Werner ("Roseanne," "That 70's Show"), Mike Clements ("Life and Times of Tim," "Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea") and Brad Ableson ("The Simpsons").

Yet, the days of industry providing mass employment are over. In the global economy, human resources are being replaced more and more by technology. Will this revolution mean the end of work as we know it? Contributing to the discussion are V. Forrester, author of The Economic Horror; US economist J. Rifkin; J. Attali, former president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and other experts.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I am training for my first London marathon and one of the biggest problems seems to be how exhausted I feel when I get back from a long run. I'm doing a long run every Saturday morning and I'm up to 15 miles but it practically wipes me out for the rest of the day, which is not good with two young children to look after. Is this normal? I do three other training sessions a week, one run, one sprints or hills and one bootcamp but after the long run it takes me all day to recover, I'm getting worried about how I will feel when I get up to 20 mile runs. Does anyone have any thoughts/advice?
Sarah - I used to feel like that when I was training for my first marathon and my children were small. Its hard but it does get easier. Its hard because as soon as you get home you have to become mum again and they're not interested in the fact you've just run 15+ miles! You'll get there - just keep chipping away. Good luck.
yes. it is tiring.......but i would also check that you aren't doing the long runs too fast.....
for the first marathon and many of the others slower than your planned marathon pace......
good luck......some days are harder than others
I have found a difference now I take on board gels and sports drink - even though a lot of people say you don't 'need' them for up to 15 miles I wanted to practice taking them and it has made a difference to me. Possibly because I am not depleting my stored energy supplies? Went to a 'Meet the Experts' VLM training day and the sports nutrionist said 'why wait until you are flagging/tiring to take a gel - take it before that' and it has worked for me. Also - eat and dring plenty as soon as you can when you get in.
Also - silly question maybe - but are you getting a good night's sleep before your long run? Again I have started having riduculously early nights before and it has made a difference as at least I feel fresh at the start.
Do the long run less often. You're not running often enough to be able to recover from such a distance.
You'll be better off doing a long run only once every 3 weeks.
Get an indoor bike as well.
Hydration is an issue, not least for the simple reason its easier for guys to deal with any excess.
I well remember being wasted for the rest of the day when building the long runs for my first marathon - but it does get easier. One thing I would look at is your nutrition. I found I recovered much better if I had something instant - e.g. shake, smoothie, peanut butter and banana sandwich - then my shower and then the next meal.
With limited training time/opportunity and no endurance background I would definitely ditch the non-specific stuff and focus on getting the miles in too.
Sarah- slow the LSR down as much as you can get away with, do some slow running instead on the day where you would be "boot camp"-ing, and cut out the sprint- a little bit of tempo runnig is all the speed work you need.
I used to crawl back into the house, and just sleep on the sofa after any run longer than 10 miles- doesn't happen now, but it lasted 1 or 2 ytears before I got over the "dead tired" effect.
As many others have said, make your long runs really slow. It sounds wrong, but it works. You should do them quite a bit slower than your target race pace.
Make sure you are eating well the night before, and have a good carb breakfast in the morning before your runs.
You need to have something with carbs and protein immediately after your long run too, to help recovery - try something like chocolate milk, Slimfast shakes, or a recovery shake. You should then eat a proper meal ideally within two hours of finishing the run. This helps your muscles recover.
Hi Sarah, lots of great advice. Only thing Id add is maybe get heart rate monitor to pick out a 75% of your max of 70% of your woking heart rate [plenty of good books and articles out there] and run within one of these to rates. You might be running to fast and running low on glycogen in your muscles.
Keep all but a few runs like this and energy will return and yes ditch the speed work and circuit stuff you need mileage to get round!
I have 3 young children and the first time I started marathon training 18 months ago, I would be wasted after a long run. Turns out, I was running them too fast. You should feel a certain amount of fatigue but if it is affecting your day, I would definitely slow them down a bit. Obviously we need to know your pace here, it may not be that which is the problem but I would hazard a guess, it probably is. Agree with Wilkie re recovery drink, I make a banana smoothie with peanut butter and milk, just whizz it all up, far healthier than a shop bought one and really does help with your recovery too.
Sarah is training 4 times a week.. which is fine.
Definitely drop the boot camp IMO, replaced by a simple steady run. One sprint or hill session a week is enough.
The long weekend run can be way slower than you're perhaps doing. You are going into your long run quite tired from the week's training, so you really should be doing it long and slow. When you ultimately get to the last 2-3 weeks, your training will taper off and you won't be tired going into the marathon, so you'll be quicker on the day.
Hi Sarah,
I agree with the others, swap your bootcamp for a mid-distance run (8-10 miles) and slow down the pace on your long runs. You don't have to ditch the bootcamp for good, just until you've got the marathon out of the way.
Make sure you have a smoothie within 20 minutes of getting home from your long run, and have a proper meal within two hours.
Depending on how old your kids are, maybe you could run the last mile or so of your long run with them to tire them out a bit
Good luck! It does get easier - I promise!
Remeber its actually quite hard to run slow enough so if you dont have a heart rate monitor try and ensure its AT LEAST a couple of minutes slower than a good training pace for you.
Also if you have a shake or carb / protein drink consume one very quickly and then follow up with another within the hour as you need to get as much energy back as you can so you wont feel soooo tired.
I would be interested to see what you do and how you get on.
I would also echo what others have said, make sure you have a good breakfast and gels/drinks during your long runs. You'll feel tired after, but not wiped out.
I'm training for VLM and have a 2 year old so I do know how you feel. Good luck. It's not that long to go...
Oh and I also do 3 runs a week and a few other sessions (a swim club and sometimes cycle to work). It's more than enough for me!
How you getting on are you packing in your post run protein/carbs have you slowed it down at all?

The Oceanis 510 represents the perfect outcome of the Oceanis concept: to make life aboard more simple, it is able to carry you quickly, and without any effort, to the other side of the world. This boat has been well maintained by a very careful owner, and in 2004 went through some serious maintenance with a re-spray of the mast, replacement of rigging, Bimini and Sprayhood, installation of a 36 mile radar and new 12 inch chartplotter. In 2005 she had 2 A/C units put in and in 2006 a bow thruster. In 2012 the boat was converted from in-mast furling to Slab-Reefing, with a new mast, boom, standing and running rigging, genoa furler and sails.

Politics & Government
Q&A: How today is — and isn't — like the Great Depression
WASHINGTON — When President Barack Obama nominated Christina Romer to head the White House Council of Economic Advisers, he picked one of the world's foremost academic experts on the Great Depression. Now she's busily trying to prevent the very circumstances that she's spent much of her adult life studying.
The National Bureau of Economic Research, to which Romer belonged until recently, is the official arbiter of the beginning and end of recessions, generally defined as two successive quarters of contraction in economic activity.
There's no similar textbook definition for an economic "depression." It's generally shorthanded as a greater than 10 percent contraction in economic activity over a period of 12 months or more.
In a lively address and forum Monday at the center-left Brookings Institution, the former economics professor at the University of California-Berkeley drew some eerie parallels between the Depression era and today. She also highlighted some very important distinctions.
Here's some of what she said, edited into a question-and-answer format.
Q: Are we nearing a shift from recession to depression?
A: Friday's employment report showed the unemployment in the United States has reached 8.1 percent — a terrible number that signifies a devastating tragedy for millions of American families. But, at its worst, unemployment in the 1930s reached nearly 25 percent. And that quarter of American workers had painfully few of the social safety nets that today help families maintain at least the essentials of life during unemployment.
Q: What does today have in common with the Depression era?
A: Most obviously, like the Great Depression, today's downturn had its fundamental cause in the decline in asset prices and the failure or near-failure of financial institutions. In 1929, the collapse and extreme volatility of stock prices led consumers and firms to simply stop spending. In the recent episode, the collapse of housing prices and stock prices has reduced wealth and shaken confidence, and has led to a sharp rise in the saving rate as consumers have hunkered down in the face of greatly reduced and much more uncertain wealth.
Q: Any other similarities?
A: Another parallel is the worldwide nature of the decline. A key feature of the Great Depression was that virtually every industrial country experienced a severe contraction in production and a terrible rise in unemployment. This past year, there was hope that the current downturn might be mainly an American experience, and so world demand could remain high and perhaps help us through. However, during the past few months, we have realized that this hope was a false one.
Q: You've written that fiscal policy didn't end the Great Depression. Does that mean you don't think it won't work now?
A: Nothing could be further from the truth.
Q: But you've said that President Franklin D. Roosevelt's spending didn't end the Great Depression?
A: The key fact is that while Roosevelt's fiscal actions were a bold break from the past, they were nevertheless small relative to the size of the problem. When Roosevelt took office in 1933, real GDP (gross domestic product) was more than 30 percent below its normal trend line. For comparison, the U.S. economy (today) is somewhere between 5 percent and 10 percent below trend.
Q: So what does that mean for today?
A: This is a lesson the administration has taken to heart. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed less than 30 days after the inauguration, is simply the biggest and boldest countercyclical fiscal action in history. The nearly $800 billion fiscal stimulus is divided roughly equally between tax cuts, direct government investment spending, and aid to the states and people directly hurt by the recession.
Q: Any other lessons learned from the Depression?
A: Despite the devastating loss of wealth, chaos in our financial markets, and a loss of confidence so great that it nearly destroyed Americans' fundamental faith in capitalism, the economy came back. Indeed, the growth between 1933 and 1937 was the highest we have ever experienced outside of wartime.
Q: So once things turn around, they could really turn around?
A: This fact should give Americans hope. We are starting from a position far stronger than our parents and grandparents were in 1933. And the policy response has been fast, bold, and well-conceived.
Q: Today's financial system is so much more sophisticated and complex than the 1930s. Doesn't this limit the application of lessons learned from the Depression era?
A: This is the kind of situation and the kind of instruments . . . (that) are just infinitely more complicated, and that's part of why this is hard. It's part of why coming up with a Financial Stabilization Plan is not a one-week thing and it's a monumental task . . . All of the modern innovations, we know they are a complicating factor . . . and one I think we will just power through.
Q: During the Depression, FDR didn't try to deal with health care and tax carbon emissions. How can you push these now amid crisis?
A: President (Barack) Obama at the health care summit that we had (last week) . . . got exactly the same question. . . . The first thing he said is how can we not? We know that it's going to bankrupt the government. It's going to bankrupt businesses. It's going to bankrupt households. We just have to deal with it. And then you say, why do it now, can't we do it next year? And his response was we didn't do it in peacetime, we didn't do it in prosperity, we didn't do it in wartime. When are we going to do it? . . . A bit of me says maybe the middle of the crisis is the right time as we are all focused on the economy.

How do I make my online PowerPoint presentation accessible?
Microsoft PowerPoint™ has become a standard format for creating and presenting visuals (e.g., slideshows) for presentations, including those used in educational contexts such as distance learning courses. A variety of approaches are used for delivering PowerPoint content online, each of which has strengths and weaknesses concerning accessibility.
The most basic approach is to provide the original PowerPoint files for students to download. Access to these files requires that users have either the PowerPoint application or the PowerPoint browser plug-in, which shows PowerPoint pages directly in the browser. If all slides contain simple, standard content such as a heading and bulleted list, these are readily accessible to PowerPoint users with disabilities, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers. However, as content increases in complexity (e.g., graphics, animations, tables and charts) accessibility decreases.
Users who don't have the PowerPoint application might be able to access native PowerPoint files within the browser plug-in, which is installed automatically in recent versions of Internet Explorer™, but users of other browsers must locate, download, and install the plug-in, providing one exists for their browser. The plug-in provides only visual access to the slideshow and is not accessible to screen reader users.
Another common approach is to use PowerPoint's built-in web publishing feature, which creates a website with multiple frames: One frame contains links to each slide, while another frame contains the slides. Additional frames provide navigational controls. Each slide is presented as text in an HTML file, formatted with extensive proprietary markup that screen readers sometimes fail to render correctly. Screen reader users also face considerable challenges navigating the frames interface, though it's possible with skill and patience.
WebAIM has developed a tutorial covering various alternative methods for delivering PowerPoint content online. In their document PowerPoint Accessibility Techniques, they describe the problems associated with the methods described above and discuss and provide examples of the following alternative techniques:
- Use the Virtual 508.com Accessible Web Publishing Wizard for Microsoft Office. This free tool, developed at the University of Illinois, attempts to convert PowerPoint, Excel, and Word documents into valid and accessible HTML.
- Make your own HTML, using the outline from your PowerPoint file.
- Don't use PowerPoint. Instead, use HTML-native slide generation programs, such as the World Wide Web Consortium's Slidemaker or HTML Slidy, or Philip Greenspun's WimpyPoint.
- Create your own HTML-based slides from scratch using your favorite HTML editor.
Exporting to PDF may also be an option. Doing so using the Adobe PDFMaker plug-in for Microsoft Office by default creates a tagged PDF file, which is optimized for accessibility, and is readable using recent versions of select assistive technologies. Additional information about PDF accessibility is available in the Knowledge Base Article Is PDF Accessible?
Regardless of which of the above techniques is used, additional steps are required to assure accessibility, including adding alternate text to images prior to exporting. A relatively recent option, and one of the most promising, is a software product called LecShare, which walks authors through the process of making their PowerPoint accessible, prompting for missing alternate text, as well as for information that can be used to make tables and charts accessible. LecShare then exports to a set of lean, standards-compliant XHTML files with fully accessible markup.

Tyler Luppi had his first musical lessons for piano from his grandmother in North Haven, Connecticut at age 8. Later, he and his family moved to Woodstock, Connecticut where he picked up electric bass at age 13 and received lessons from Jim Perry for bass and piano.
While attending Woodstock Academy, Tyler was the Connecticut Music Educators Association Eastern Regional Jazz Bassist at age 17., where he found a true passion for jazz music from the inspirational playing of his fellow musicians and instructors. Months later, full of focus and drive, he picked up the acoustic bass and attended the Litchfield Jazz Camp, where he received his first lessons in jazz. From 2009-2010, he was awarded the CMEA Eastern Regional Jazz Bassist title again, this time on acoustic bass, received the soloist award for his ensemble at the Berklee High School Jazz Festival, graduated from Woodstock Academy, and began his enrollment at the University of Connecticut. studying classical and jazz bass with Gregg August.
Since then, Tyler has performed as a leader and a sideman in several ensembles, including his jazz recording debut in 2011 with the "Orice Jenkins Trio" on the album Journals of a Teenage Chormaticist.
During his two years of study at the University of Connecticut, Tyler has learned his fundamentals of the jazz language from Earl MacDonald, Gregg August, and John Mastroianni in many unique classes and ensembles.
Tyler was a residential assistant, and most recently a bass ringer, at the Litchfield Jazz Camp from 2009-2011. Through this experience, he worked with and learned from jazz greats such as Avery Sharpe, Junior Mance, Charlie Persip, Joris Teepe, Dave Brubeck, Matt Wilson, Pat Martino, Helen Sung, Claudio Roditi and countless others. This is also where he met Joris Teepe, who is his primary teacher today.
Now, Tyler performs regularly and lives in Groningen, Netherlands, studying at the Prince Claus Conservatoire with Joris Teepe and several other New York musicians in the "New York comes to Groningen" jazz bachelors program. He is currently working on several projects including the "Sergej Avenesov Quartet" and the "Yoonmi Choi Trio."

HONOLULU, Hawaii - A former Fox television executive has denied allegations that he sexually abused a teen through a sex ring involving underage children.
Louise Ann Fernandez, a lawyer for Garth Ancier, said Tuesday the allegations made by Michael Egan III in a federal lawsuit filed in Hawaii are untrue.
Fernandez says Ancier has never visited the estate in Hawaii where Egan claims he was molested.
Egan made similar allegations last week when he sued "X-Men" director Bryan Singer.
Ancier and two other executives were sued Monday. The lawsuits say Egan was forced into sex during parties in California and Hawaii when he was 15 to 17 years old. Egan is now 31.
Ancier was a founding programmer at Fox who later created programming for The WB.

Working with Distribution Lists in Outlook
You can create a Distribution List in your Outlook Contacts module that includes the name of more than one person for those times when you send a message to several people simultaneously. You can also assign categories to your Distribution Lists (just as you can with individual contacts), and you can send a Distribution List to other people as an attachment to an email message so they can use the same list that you do if they're also using Outlook.
Creating a Distribution List
Creating a Distribution List is a simple matter of making up a name for your list and choosing from the collection of names that you've stored up on your system. A Distribution List doesn't keep track of phone numbers and mailing addresses, just email addresses.
To create a Distribution List in your Contacts module, follow these steps:
1. Choose File –> New –> Distribution List (or press Ctrl+Shift+L).
The Distribution List dialog box appears.
2. Type the name that you want to assign to your Distribution List.
The name that you type appears in the Name text box.
3. Click the Select Members button.
The Select Members dialog box appears, displaying a list of available names on the left side and a blank box on the right side.
4. Double-click the name of each person that you want to add to your Distribution List.
Each name that you double-click appears in the Add to Distribution List column on the right side of the dialog box.
5. When you're done picking names, click OK.
The Select Members dialog box closes.
6. Click Save and Close (or press Alt+S).
The Distribution List dialog box closes and your Distribution List appears in your list of contacts.
When you're creating a Distribution List, you may also want to include the email addresses of people who aren't included in your Contacts list or any of your other Outlook Address books. To add such an outsider to your Distribution List, click Add New (instead of Select Members) in Step 4, above. Enter the name and email address of the person that you want to add in the Add New Members dialog box, click OK, and follow the rest of the steps exactly the same way.
Editing a Distribution List
People come and people go in Distribution Lists, just as they do everywhere else. Luckily, you can edit the lists. Just click the Contacts icon in the Navigation Pane and double-click the name of one of your Distribution Lists (the entries that show a little two-headed icon to the right of their names). When you open a Distribution List entry, you see the same screen that you saw when you first created the list. Here, you have some useful options:
- To remove a member of the list: Click that name and click the Remove button.
- To select a new member from the names already in your Contact list or Global Address list: Click Select Members and follow the same routine that you use when you create a list.
- To add a person whose email address isn't listed in any of your address books: Click the Add New button, fill in the person's name and email address, and click OK.
Using a Distribution List
Distribution Lists show up as items in your Contact list along with people's names — so (as you can probably guess) you can use a Distribution List to address an email message just as you would with any contact. Here's how:
- You can drag the card for a Distribution List to your Inbox to create a new email message to that list.
- You can type the name of the Distribution List in the To: line of an email message and click the Check Names button in the toolbar.
When Outlook adds an underline to the name in the To: box, you know your message will go to the people on your Distribution List.

On Thursday, Louisiana Federal District Court Judge Martin Feldman found that the Obama Interior Department was in contempt of his ruling that the offshore oil drilling moratorium, imposed by the administration in 2010, was unconstitutional. After Feldman struck down the initial drilling ban, the Interior Department simply established a second ban that was virtually identical.
While the story was reported on Thursday by wire services like the Associated Press and picked up by frequently cited internet news sites like Politico, the television media, including ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN, all ignored the story.
In his ruling, Judge Feldman forcefully admonished the administration's attempt to circumvent his 2010 decision: "Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the reimposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this Court with clear and convincing evidence of the government's contempt of this Court's preliminary injunction order."
As Politico further explained: "Gulf state lawmakers have criticized the Obama administration for stopping drilling last summer, and accuse Interior of continuing a 'de facto' ban on permits, saying it cost their states thousands of jobs."
Earlier in the week, the media provided scant and dismissive coverage of another court ruling against the Obama Administration, that of a federal judge in Florida who deemed ObamaCare to be unconstitutional. On Tuesday's Good Morning America, ABC's JuJu Chang downplayed the major challenge to the legislation: "...the Obama administration is expressing confidence that the new health care law will be upheld. It's vowing to appeal."
On Monday's CBS Evening News, fill-in anchor Harry Smith declared: "In the legal battle over President Obama's health care reform law, the score is now two to two. A federal judge in Florida is the latest to weigh in, ruling today the law is unconstitutional...A judge in Virginia issued a similar ruling in December, but two other courts have upheld the insurance mandate."

my hospital told me that I may not go on with ivf.
the reason is that I am 40, nearly 41 and after 4 failed ivf's there is no reason to go on.
I find this very very hard to accept.
My fsh is low (4.4)
my eggs were okay
the percentage fertilisation was more than 80%..
and besides this, I would have like to be the one to say, sorry, I do not want to go on (this was going to be after the 5th attempt, my husband and I already decided).
I am now looking for Belgium, in Brussels they do not make such a fuss out of 40... but would it make any sense at all???

Hi everybody,
In my device I have a little Expunge function which just sets md->cw_device.dd_Library.lib_Flags |= LIBF_DELEXP and returns 0.
In the past I could get rid of the device using an avail flush or whatever, but now nothing I seem to do (since I updated to FE?) gets rid of the old device code so I have to keep rebooting to try my new builds.
Is there an example of what should be in my Expunge() routine to make it leave cleanly?

Lady Elliot Island has been the subject of several case studies that can be downloaded:
Sustainable Island Resort Case Study
ATEC EC3 Lady Elliot Island Case Study
TQ Sustainability Case Study LEI
The Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort believes that one key to a sustainable future for everyone, is sharing knowledge about how success stories. A good example is the way in which the Resort battled its way to success in establishing a hybrid solar power station on a coral cay, a remote and harsh place to operate and maintain any equipment. The station integrates solar power, a small diesel generator, and a battery storage system – and getting everything working properly was not easy!
We're also part of the World Wildlife Fund's 2 Degree Project, which aims to provide a platform for sharing such stories showing the pathway to a more sustainable future, and how to overcome barriers to change.

Progressives slam chained CPI plan
President Barack Obama can't count on his left flank to support his entitlement changes just because he's not raising the Medicare eligibility age.
Progressives say the latest deficit-cutting proposal in the fiscal cliff negotiations would unfairly put the squeeze on seniors — largely because a new formula for calculating Social Security payments would fail to account for how much more money they have to spend on health care than the rest of the population.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: What is chained CPI?)
And that unless the proposed Social Security payment cuts are offset for older, low-income seniors, they're worried that this vulnerable group could be forced into choosing between necessities — between housing, for instance, and medical care.
"If we don't do this right, we could be asking old, poor elderly people to make some pretty terrible choices," said Jared Bernstein, former economic adviser to Vice President Joe Biden and now a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. "And there's no reason or need for the richest country in the world to treat people that way."
( PHOTOS: Fiscal cliff's key players)
In the latest development in the fiscal cliff talks Monday night, Obama agreed to tweak the way some government benefits and income tax brackets are calculated, switching to what's called the chained consumer price index. The effect would be to slightly slow the increase of cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security and to move people slightly more quickly into higher tax brackets.
Obama's offer estimates it would cut the deficit by $135 billion over 10 years.
It's an idea embraced by many of the prominent deficit-reduction proposals — including Simpson-Bowles, Domenici-Rivlin and the Gang of Six. The reason? Economists generally agree that it's a more accurate way to calculate inflation, mainly because it takes into account people's tendency to buy cheaper substitute goods — chicken, for instance — if the cost of beef goes up. The CPI that's used now doesn't do that.
The conservative Heritage Foundation supports it, too, including it in its "Saving the American Dream" report. In a blog post, Heritage's David John wrote that a chained CPI would be a "more accurate measure" of how people's spending habits actually change. The change, he wrote, "is not nearly enough to fix Social Security's massive deficit, but it is a good start."

Dear Community Member,
We would like to call to your attention an apparent third-party tampering that caused misbranding of Ziagen® (abacavir sulfate) Tablets as Combivir® (lamivudine and zidovudine) Tablets and employed counterfeit labels for Combivir Tablets. Both Combivir and Ziagen are medicines used as part of combination regimens to treat HIV infection.
These incidents appear to be isolated and limited in scope to one pharmacy in California; to date, there have been no reports of similar incidents in other cities or in other states. No injuries or adverse reactions have been reported. Company tests have shown no problems with the medicine itself: both Ziagen and Combivir are authentic drug product. GlaxoSmithKline is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to investigate.
Involved in the misbranding cases were two 60-count bottles of Combivir Tablets. Combivir Tablets (in a legitimate bottle) contain 150 milligrams of lamivudine and 300 milligrams of zidovudine; however, the misbranded bottles of Combivir contained 300 milligram tablets of Ziagen. The counterfeit labels identified Lot No. 6ZP9760 with expiration dates of April 2010 and April 2009.
If patients have bottles of Combivir Tablets, they should immediately examine the contents of each bottle of Combivir to confirm that it does indeed contain tablets of Combivir. The Combivir and Ziagen tablets are easily distinguishable. Combivir is a white capsule-shaped tablet engraved with "GX FC3" on one side; the other side of the tablet is plain. Ziagen is a yellow capsule-shaped tablet engraved with "GX 623" on one face; the other side is plain. (See photos below of Combivir and Ziagen).
If any patient discovers a bottle of Combivir that contains anything but Combivir tablets, please notify the GSK Response Center at 1-888-825-5249 (toll free) between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
The risk to patients is primarily due to the fact that approximately 8% of individuals who receive abacavir sulfate in Ziagen Tablets, Trizivir (abacavir sulfate, lamivudine and zidovudine) Tablets or EpzicomTM (abacavir sulfate and lamivudine) Tablets have developed a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction. Symptoms generally resolve after discontinuing the medication; however, patients who have had a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir-containing products are advised to never take the medication again. Patients taking Combivir would not have been advised about the hypersensitivity reaction and how to take abacavir-containing products safely because Combivir does not contain abacavir sulfate (abacavir). Patients, who have had a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir and take Ziagen, Trizivir or Epzicom again, experience more severe symptoms within hours that may include life-threatening hypotension and death.
In addition, the replacement of Combivir, which contains two antiviral drugs, with Ziagen, a single antiviral, may decrease the effectiveness of a patient's treatment regimen.
At GlaxoSmithKline, patient safety is our first priority. We appreciate your help as we try to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. GSK is taking all possible steps to protect the quality and integrity of our products. If you or any patients have additional questions, please contact the GSK Response Center at 1-888-825-5249 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday. Full product information is available on the GlaxoSmithKline website, www.gsk.com.

If you are like me you love paging through catalogs for new and interesting gadgets to buy! One of my favorite catalogs is the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog (I've included a link so you can get a free one just in case you feel the need to join me.). I've been (putting off really) getting a flood light for the back door of my house. The idea of wiring up a light isn't high on my list of things I would like to be doing.
I thought about going with some type of solar/battery solution, but didn't see anything that really popped out at me. The bulbs on traditional lights are kind of expensive so I knew I'd really like to go with an LED solution… I looked around online for a bit and then put it off again.
Oddly a few days later I read a press release about a Porch Light that was motion activated AND LED!! I noticed it was from my fav catalog Hammacher Schlemmer and zipped to their website to check it out.
So the nitty gritty:
- Four C Batteries (No wiring… SCORE!)
- 150 Hours of actual operation (So translation… years! How many times is it going to go off?)
- No Wiring!!! (I know I said it before but wow!!)
- 2 Screw Installation (This took 3 minutes to install)
- Motion Sensor (It shuts off about 30 seconds after movement has stopped, further more it won't go on in the day time).
So they are about 40 bucks a piece if you order them from Hammacher Schlemmer. Now that I have it installed I have to say that it is the perfect solution to my back door. It lights up a good part of the back area, there was no wiring (I think I may have mentioned that before) and I don't have to replace the batteries every month. I'm really happy with the unit, it is a solid little light and I think it will serve me well for years to come.
