As technology improves, scientists are able to detect more pollutants, and at smaller concentrations, in Earth's freshwater bodies. Containing traces of contaminants ranging from birth control pills and sunscreen to pesticides and petroleum, our planet's lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater are often a chemical cocktail.
Beyond synthetic pollution, freshwater is also the end point for biological waste, in the form of human sewage, animal excrement, and rainwater runoff flavored by nutrient-rich fertilizers from yards and farms. These nutrients find their way through river systems into seas, sometimes creating coastal ocean zones void of oxygen—and therefore aquatic life—and making the connection between land and sea painfully obvious. When you dump paint down the drain, it often ends up in the ocean, via freshwater systems.
In the developed world, regulation has restricted industry and agricultural operations from pouring pollutants into lakes, streams, and rivers. Technology has also offered a solution in the form of expensive filtration and treatment plants that make our drinking water safe to consume. Some cities are even promoting "green" infrastructure, such as green roofs and rain gardens, as a way to naturally filter out pollutants. But you may find a different picture in parts of the developing world, where there is less infrastructure—politically, economically, and technically—to deal with the barrage of pollution threats facing freshwater and all of the species that rely on it.
Fast Facts
- In developing countries, 70 percent of industrial wastes are dumped untreated into waters, polluting the usable water supply.
- On average, 99 million pounds (45 million kilograms) of fertilizers and chemicals are used each year.
- Portland, Oregon, is actively pursing "green roofs" and "green streets" to prevent sewer overflows into the Willamette River. Chicago, Illinois, now has more than 517,000 acres (209,222 hectares) of vegetated roofs—more than any other U.S. city—which are helping to catch storm water, cool the urban environment, and provide opportunities for rooftop gardens.
Did You Know?Every day 2 million tons (1.8 billion kilograms) of human waste are disposed of in waterways around the world.

Dentists warn of high acidity in some energy drinks
Dental hygiene students test acid levels of energy drinks
MADISON, Wis. - Popular energy drinks claim to give people hours of energy, but dentists said people may be bathing their teeth in acid when they consume energy drinks.
Experiments are shedding new light on some of the most popular energy drinks.
They come in flashy containers, promising a boost to get you through those long days.
"A lot of people really do sit and just drink this stuff," said Madison College dental hygiene student Alicia Selzler.
But when the jolt runs dry, new research shows, people are left with are serious hazards to their teeth.
"I used to drink these in high school myself," said Selzler. "And I always wanted to do hygiene, but I never really thought of what this is actually doing to my teeth until I saw this."
Selzler is no stranger to sugar's destructive path, but the experiment she's conducting with her classmates at Madison College examines the acid content of energy drinks.
"The citric acid is the one ingredient that we noticed that if it was listed near the top of the ingredient list, that was one of those solutions we knew we were going to get a low pH," said Marcy LeFave, Madison College dental hygiene faculty member.
On a pH scale, a reading of 7 is neutral, like water. The lower the number, the more acidic the chemical. Students measured the pH of a variety of drinks. Coffee and milk showed pH scores of around 5 and 6, respectively. Root beer was around 4.
But a sugar-free bottle of Vitamin Water Zero showed a high level of acidity in a test, Selzler said.
"It's actually Vitamin Water Zero," said Selzler. "It's showing a pH of 3.15. So the pH of that product is really, really low."
The energy drink in the experiment logged a pH close to 3 as well. Battery acid reads -1 on the pH scale.
And with the popularity of these types of drinks, researchers said it's only a matter of time before a rising number of dentists expend more of their energy on tooth decay.Dentists warn of high acidity in some energy drinks
"The problem is they sip on them throughout the day." said LeFave. "So they're constantly bathing their teeth in a solution that is 3.0. We even find some that are 2.5 pH. So we know those are very acidic."
"I always tell my patients, and I've learned from my hygienist and my teachers, if you sip all day, you get decay," said Selzler, "So this is kind of what we like to show people, the acid and what it's all doing."
With sugar, the decay process begins after the sugar reacts with the bacteria in a person's mouth to produce the acid that eventually gets to his or her teeth. When drinking energy drinks high in citric acid, it skips the sugar-bacteria chemical reaction completely. Researchers said the citric acid could damage a person's teeth faster.

Tri-Lakes Electric Reliability Project "Open House" Scheduled For June 10
ALBANY—The public will have an opportunity to learn more about plans for a new power line to improve the reliability of electric service the Tri-Lakes Region and surrounding communities at an "open house" scheduled for Friday, June 10 in Tupper Lake. The event will be held from 3:00 to 9:00 pm at the Ivy Terrace Room, 38 Boyer Ave in Tupper Lake NY 12986. This location is handicapped-accessible.
The public is invited to learn about the project sponsors, route corridors currently being studied for the new line, reliability benefits expected from the new power line, environmental and engineering topics, costs, schedule, permitting, licensing and much more.
Large, poster-style boards will display preliminary project information, and representatives of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and project experts will be available.
Those attending are encouraged to share their comments, ideas, suggestions and questions with project sponsors. Public comments will also assist in the development of the Environmental Impact Statement, which is being prepared under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
The new line, estimated to cost $29 million, is part of the Tri-Lakes Electric Reliability Project which has the goal to improve the reliability of electric service to the region. The two route corridors, currently under study, show the potential line either traveling south from near the Stark Falls Reservoir in Colton through Sevey Corners to Piercefield or traveling east from Newton Falls in Clifton through Cook Corners to Sevey Corners then to Piercefield.
If you can not attend the public open house, a map of the study routes will soon be made available at town and village municipal buildings. Information is currently available on the web at www.nypa.gov (at the Home Page, click on the Tri-Lakes Electric Reliability Project link) which gives the public the ability to submit questions and comments via email.
For more information on the public open house, please contact Steve Ramsey, Regional Manager-Community Relations, NYPA, at 1-800-724-0309 or email@example.com . For directions to the Ivy Terrace Room, please call 518-359-9220.

Doug McDermott made it easy.
After leading the nation in scoring with 26.5 points per game and surpassing the 3,000-point mark for his career, the Creighton senior was the obvious choice for the Bleacher Report National Player of the Year award.
After that, though, picking our All-American and all-conference teams became tough.
Who should fill the final first-team All-American slot, Russ Smith or Nick Johnson? Did Andrew Wiggins deserve to be named Big 12 Player of the Year after no-showing a handful of games? Who was the country's most-improved player? What about the best sixth man? And the the best coach?
OK, Gregg Marshall made that one easy, too.
After debating and poring over stats for more than three hours at The Peanut and Kansas City (we included a 30-minute break for wings and BLTs) colleague C.J. Moore and I finally came to an agreement on the best and brightest of the 2013-14 season.
Included in this slideshow is the Bleacher Report All-American team as well as the all-league squad for each of the country's top conferences.
We're sure you'll agree with some of our picks. Others, maybe not so much. But that's what makes it fun.

A great way to bond with your baby is through massage. Studies have shown that massaging your baby regularly can reduce crying and relieve colic, encourage better sleeping patterns, help boost her immune system, and deepen your bond. Massaging can also help you if you are suffering from postpartum depression by building and strengthening an emotional connection with your baby you may be lacking.
If your baby is healthy, it is usually considered safe to massage her at any age, even as a newborn. However, never massage your baby if she is running a fever, has recently had surgery, or has any open sores or skin abrasions. Massage your baby when she is calm and relaxed — such as after her bath or right before bed — and wait until at least an hour after she has eaten.
A baby massage can be as long or brief as you and your baby wish; but it's a good idea to start with shorter massages of five minutes or less, until she gets used to it. If she becomes cranky or agitated, stop and try again some other time. Never force a massage on a baby. It may take a couple of tries for her to get used to it and be able to relax and enjoy it, and if she wants to change positions, let her. Some infants are extremely sensitive and can't deal with a lot of touching at first, so watch her body language and maintain eye contact. Go with the flow and relax, and follow the same pattern during each massage so your baby learns what to expect. If you want, play some soft music while massaging her — she will learn to associate the music with relaxation, which may help at bedtime as well.
It is important to keep in mind that a baby massage is not the time for a deep-tissue work; always use gentle pressure, but not too light — feathery-light touches may tickle and agitate your baby. To determine a comfortable amount of pressure to use on your baby, close your eyes and press on your eyelids. The pressure you should use is the same amount that you can press on your eyelids without feeling any discomfort. When you are massaging small areas of your baby's body, use your fingertips; when massaging larger areas, such as her back, use the palm of your hand.
Begin by placing your baby on a soft surface, such as a folded blanket or cushion. Keep her warm and cover any areas that you will not be massaging. If you plan to give her a massage just after her bath, stay in the warm and humid bathroom where she'll stay warm longer. Before you start, make eye contact and sing or speak softly and lovingly to her, and begin moving slowly and gently. Use a small amount of oil so your hands don't pull on her sensitive skin. Since her hands and feet will probably end up in her mouth, it's a good idea to use edible oils such as grape seed or olive. However, nut-based oils such as almond or peanut can cause serious food allergies if your baby ingests them, so avoid using them during massages.

Guitarist to play at TBAC Gallery
Eric Glatz, an award-winning finger-style guitarist, will perform Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at the Thunder Bay Arts Council Gallery. His repertoire will consist of jazz, blues, Latin and classical music.
A new resident to Alpena, Glatz is a recording artist for Barksdale Records and has a newly released CD titled "Mississippi Chamber Music," as well as having appeared on the internationally released Rounder Records anthology, "Rebel Voices."
His unique method of guitar playing utilizes the thumb and fingers on his first right hand instead of the usual flat pick. The artist grew up in a multi-cultural neighborhood in southwest Detroit where he was able to absorb numerous popular styles.
Growing up in a musical family made for his first exposure to jazz. His musical training began on the piano. As a teenager he switched to guitar and was drafted to play the upright bass in his high school orchestra. His piano training honed his ears to seek a broader sound from the guitar, which continues to inspire his approach to the instrument.
Like most teens, he became interested in rock, but the accidental purchase of some blues records from a bargain bin in a dime store had a more profound impact upon him. One of these was a record of the Texas Bluesman Lighting Hopkins.
Some of the older guitar players in his neighborhood were natives of Kentucky and disciples of Merle Travis and Chet Atkins. They had learned to play in the finger or thumb style technique, and gave him occasional pointers and got him started. Glatz soon gave up the flat pick and permanently became a finger style player.
As the years went by, his love of blues and jazz exposed him to many great musicians. The bars and clubs of Detroit provided an opportunity for him to hear many of the musicians he'd been listening to on records he loved dearly.
His playing today is versatile and his tastes have grown even more eclectic. This has opened even more doors for him to expose his talents to growing audiences.
In addition to his own recordings, Glatz has worked as a studio musician, performed as a back-up musician and even gone on to play in film scores.
TBAC Gallery is located at 127 W. Chisholm. The public is welcome and refreshments will be served during this free event. Limited seating is available.
Glatz also will be appearing at the Owl Cafe every Friday in February from 6-9 p.m. and at Latitudes this Saturday and Feb. 23 at 9:30 p.m.

RAW Leica
This summer will see the launch of the latest G-Star crossover: RAW Leica. Together with the German camera company, G-Star RAW proudly presents a special edition of the Leica D-Lux 6 series. Inspired by the crossovers for Vitra and Cannondale, RAW Leica celebrates the photographic innovation of the iconic camera company.
The Leica D-lux 6 'Edition by G-Star RAW' is not available anymore in the official G-Star online store. Register online for our newsletter to stay up to date on our Raw Crossovers and receive the latest news on G-Star.
For the launch of the RAW Leica camera, G-Star teamed up with longtime collaborator and famed photographer Anton Corbijn. His role as ambassador for the project was a natural one as G-Star and Anton have a long history of working together and Anton has shot with Leica cameras throughout his career.
An autodidact, Anton has changed his approach to photography a few times over the years but kept relatively close to his first subject matter: artists in general and specifically musicians. For G-Star, Anton captured many campaigns, including RAW Talents such as Liv Tyler, chess Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen and French actress Clémence Poésy.
Want to shoot like Anton? When Anton received the very first RAW Leica camera, we asked him for some tips on how to make the best pictures with the RAW Leica. The tips below are explained by Anton himself in the video.
1 - Photograph against the sun or sun on any side, it is all interesting.
2 - Don't follow photography tips in general; accidental discoveries are worth coming across.
3 - Imperfection is underrated.
4 - Make sure you don't take too many photographs per day, instead concentrate on what you want to achieve. The next day, take hundreds and then see which way gets the most out of you and your camera.
Since its introduction in 1925 street photographers favour Leica for their outstanding qualifications and high functionality. Especially the format and compact lens of the industrial classic, enabled photographers to take pictures more easily, and spontaneously.
The Leica D-Lux 6 'Edition by G-Star RAW' combines these distinguishing assets with a new dot structure on the leather body trim, giving it an effective grip. The special edition comes in a brown leather case, and features an exclusive carrying strap with a matching hand strap.
Sharing similar aesthetics, the G-Star and Leica crossover is a natural collaboration. Both brands utilise design where form follows function, and stand for high-quality products of authenticity and durability.
G-Star admires Leica for their industrial look and hand-made build. The denim brand is very excited to include a camera to the RAW Crossover Series. Cameras are one of the most important and inspiring tools for people to share and spread their experiences.

Visa: Financial Loser
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Visa(V) was the loser among major financial services companies on Thursday, with shares pulling back over 2% to close at $157.06.
The broad indexes paired earlier declines to end the session slightly lower, after some mixed economic reports. The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was down slightly to close at 54.80, with 15 of the 24 index components showing declines for the session.
The Department of Labor Department released its preliminary estimate that nonfarm business productivity declined at an annual rate of 2% in the fourth quarter, which was higher than economists estimate of a 1.3% decline, according to Zacks.
The Labor Department also said that initial unemployment claims for the week ended Feb. 2 totaled 366,000, declining by 5,000 from a revised figure of 371,000 the previous week. The consensus estimate was for new claims to come in at 360,000. The four-week average for initial claims was 350,000, down by 2,250 from the previous week.
The Federal Reserve said that consumer credit during December grew by adjusted 6.3% from a year earlier. Total consumer credit dollars increased by $14.6 billion during December from the previous month, which was in line with the consensus estimate.
Visa on Wednesday after the market close reported net income for its fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 31 of $1.3 billion, or $1.93 a share, increasing from $1.0 billion, or $1.49 a share, a year earlier. Excluding an 11-cent tax benefit, adjusted earnings came in at $1.82 a share, beating the consensus estimate of $1.79, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Net operating revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $2.8 billion during the fiscal first quarter, which the company attributed to "strong growth in service revenues, data processing revenues and international transaction revenues."
Visa's board of directors authorized a new $1.75 billion share repurchase program, bringing the company's total buyback authorization to $2.9 billion.
In its outlook for all of fiscal 2013, the company estimated annual revenue growth in the "low double digits," with an operating margin of roughly 60%, which matches the company's adjusted operating margin for fiscal 2012.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Kenneth Bruce rates Visa a "buy," and on Thursday raised his price target for the shares to $180. The price target "is based on a 21x multiple to our 2014E EPS forecast of $8.55, at the higher-end of the company's historical multiple range," Bruce wrote.
The analyst said Visa's long-term performance justifies a significant premium for the stock over peers. "Despite an adverse regulatory environment and sluggish economic growth the past several years, V managed 30% EPS growth per annum, demonstrating its durable operating model and providing investors a defensive posture given the continued economic uncertainty."

UPDATE: Correcting the statement, adding clarifications.
Gainward, a supplier of graphics cards and a subsidiary of Palit Microsystems, said Tuesday that it would be able to ship Nvidia's next-generation high-end graphics cards on the date of the formal launch on the 8th of November, 2006, following the announcement about the recall of the boards featuring GeForce 8800 GTX graphics processor.
"Gainward proudly announces that due to close relationship and cooperation with Nvidia, Gainward engineers had been able to correct the error on the boards from the first allocation, meaning that Gainward will start shipping out Bliss 8800GTX [from its European headquarters in Munich, Germany] to launch partners before the official launch date," a statement by the company reads.
On Monday Nvidia Corp. confirmed that some of the early-made GeForce 8800 GTX graphics boards that were built by Nvidia's contract manufacturer had a production flaw – wrong resistor value. Nvidia stated that it planned to replace all the boards that had the incorrect resistor value, but denied to estimate whether the problem was wide-spread. The graphics developer also stressed that the GeForce 8800 GTS graphics cards – cut-down flavours of the model 8800 GTS – were not affected by the issue.
Other media reports also claim that Asustek Computer and XFX will also be able to start selling the GeForce 8800 GTS graphics cards starting from the 8th of November, 2006.
The GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8800 GTS are the new flagship offerings from Nvidia Corp. that support DirectX 10 application programming interface.

Good cereal to start weaning baby
Posted by Mummyofadele on Jun 08, 2013
This cereal is less sweet compared to some other brands.. this is good as baby will not develop a sweet tooth and reject less sweet or more bland food later. Packaging is good, easy to open to scoop out necessary portion to feed baby and despite Singapore's humid weather, the cereal packaging can maintain the cereal's dryness for couple of weeks! Highly recommended!
have strong rancid taste, very disappointed !
Posted by 5553168571061986300 on Sep 19, 2012
I bought this cereals at the end of July. When opened yesterday, they were smelt out very strong rancid taste, and the cereals more like a yellow colour, compare to the Gerber rice cereals. It is totally deteriorated. It is not worth to return the cereals to IHERB, as only $5. But this is a baby product, i hope IHERB can pay more attention to this issue, as i am not the first person to face this issue. expire date: 06 Jan 2014 batch number: 1856 BE
The product had an ackward smell to it. => will not buy this product again
Posted by joohyepark on May 09, 2012
I opened the fresh can last weekend, but the product had painty smell to it. SO I tasted it and the smell felt unpleasing. I tossed the stuff and will never buy this stuff again. This did not happen with the earth's best rice cereal so i will stick with earth's best ;;

Fortified rice cereal
Posted by eathealthy on Jun 29, 2013
So glad I came across this fortified rice cereal for my son! I haven't seen rice cereal that is fortified with vitamins and minerals along with DHA and probiotics. Gives me the peace of mind of knowing that my son is getting added vitamins and minerals as I don't give him a liquid multi as he is still under 1. Have had nothing but success with all Nurture Inc food products for my son and will continue to give them to him.

Einhorn's a Hustler and He Doesn't Understand Or Care About Apple
At the time, I told you Einhorn was the one who didn't understand Apple. While it sounds cool to assorted hipsters and a handful of tortured tech geeks, his line about Apple being a software company -- not a hardware company -- made no practical sense whatsoever. And the contention certainly doesn't qualify as a deep theoretical or philosophical thought that mere mortals cannot wrap their inferior heads around.
Einhorn's Thursday morning dog and pony show about preferred stock and capital allocation put it all to rest. It's official. He really doesn't understand Apple. In fact, he has absolutely no clue.
Let's make a few things clear though.
First, Einhorn is loaded. He's rich because he's a great investor. That's his thing -- to maximize his investments. That's his objective here. It wouldn't make a difference to him if Apple fell off of the face of the Earth in six months. As long as he squeezed as much juice as he could out of his position, it's all good. He'll move onto the next position.
Don't get me wrong. That's acceptable. Totally cool. It's just unfortunate that we take a guy who we know approaches things from that type of perspective seriously when he tries making sense about Apple.
Second, Einhorn has more money than most of us, but that doesn't mean he's smarter than most of us. Don't be intimated by these cats. There's no reason to be.
Third, Apple apologized . Apple didn't need to apologize. Here's hoping the apology was a classic Apple blow off and not a preview of Apple letting others dictate its flow.
Apple doesn't have to answer to anybody. Not about innovation. Not about how it allocates its capital. And certainly not about how much of that cash it returns to shareholders. You don't like the company's strategy, buy another stock. I hear Intel (INTC) looks pretty "cheap" right now with a "juicy" 4.2% yield. Heck, Microsoft (MSFT) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) -- they're doing some real exciting stuff . And they're both "bargains," yielding 3.3% and 3.2%, respectively.
The people who claim to "understand" Apple -- as the company moves through little more than a media- and analyst-induced noise fest -- these people do not have even a basic comprehension of why Apple is great. In fact, they see the world through a lens that's so antithetical to what Apple is about that's it probably not possible for them to get it.
This fantastic Haruki Murakami quote sums it up:
If you can't understand it without an explanation, you can't understand it with an explanation .

Topic: Is Ruby/Rails for me?
Hello, all.
I'm a middle school teacher with a strong interest in technology and computers. I have a few ideas for web projects that I would like to try to develop over the summer.
I am curious to get your opinion as to whether Ruby/Rails is a good environment for me to persue, or if there is a different programming environment that would be more appropriate to my (lack of) programming experience or my project description.
My Project Idea:
My primary hope is to create a database-driven book review website that would be accessed by middle school students. Ideally, I'd like to interface with Amazon's book database, and make it easy for students to discover books that "kids just like them" seemed to like.
My Programming Experience:
* I took one semester of Pascal 20 years ago...but loved it.
* I have extensive Access experience, so I know a good deal about basic database design and querying (though I never wrote SQL by hand -- only using Access query graphical interface).
My Ruby Reading:
* I've read Chris Pine's "Learn to Program", and was able to handle most of the basic programming challenges (I'm particularly proud of my "99 Bottles of Beer" program!).
* I tried working along with David A. Black's "Ruby for Rails" r4rmusic example. I quickly got discouraged though, as things didn't seem to work as written (though it's probably my fault) and it seemed to be a much steeper learning curve up from Chris Pine's book. I haven't put a ton of time into this one yet (I'll have to wait for the school year to end before I can) but it did spook me a bit!
I'm a terrific "book buyer" on Amazon, so I already have a small library of Ruby books (Pick Axe, Cookbook, Recipes, Quiz, etc.), but I can't seem to find a good bridge between Chris Pine's book and any of the others.
Beyond Ruby/Rails, I am quickly realizing that there is much more to master to make this work, including MySQL, CSS, Amazon EC2, etc.
Is this too much for a capable newbie to take on?
If I do, is Ruby/Rails the best choice for my experience and project requirements?
Is there another environment that might be faster to learn and appropriate to the job?
Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

Expiration Date:?Aug 2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Hi there, i want to try and discuss the cumulative effect of concepts generated by the social ideology, for example the concept of 'convenience',
and the effect such concepts have had on different generations of people.
In an attempt to open this up, I noticed that i thought my parents were affected badly by the concept of 'convenience'. One aspect of that would be most obviously food, and food preparation. This idea of convenience, in a sense, appears to actually deprive them of the present moment of time.

In short: A sad farewellIn full: Ran blackpool marathon in 2002 and the half last year, delighted to have taken part in the last blackpool marathon.Goodbye blackpool you will be missed.xxxDate of review: April 16, 2009
In short: A good raceIn full: A good race - friendly marshalling and fellow runners. Nice medal, but poor quality T-shirt and goody bag. Date of review: April 13, 2009
In short: Fantastic event - a wonderful experience. A shame if it is the last time the event is helddIn full: I am probably biased as I managed to knock 25 mins off my personal best but I thought it was a wonderful event - well done to the organisers. Tremendous support from the marshalls and most of the spectators - some of the holidaymakers were oblivious to the marathon taking place alongside them but you can't expect everybody at a seaside resort to be interested in a running event. Weather was kind, plenty of water stations and overall a really friendly atmosphere. I would hope to see it held again but if not fingers crossed Fleetwood is as good.Date of review: April 9, 2009
In full: Even though I have said I would do this race again I realise it is the laast one of its kind on this course, which is a great shame. I would welcome the opportunity to run a similar distance race on the west coast, Thanks for the memories. Date of review: April 9, 2009
In short: Sun, sea and lots of running. Got a good tan.In full: This was my fourth marathon and the first time I have done a smaller event. I should have found it easier than I did - phew those last few miles were a slog or at least I presume they were as I can't remember much. Thank you to the man at the last water station who filled my bottle and ran to catch me up, and also thank you to the medical staff at the finish who caught me when I fell and bought me back to the land of the living. Date of review: April 9, 2009
In short: My very first marathon and a bit disappointedIn full: While I can't fault the atmosphere and the support during the race I think the organisation was a real let down. I could cope without chip timing but to have 20ps ready in my pocket.. I asked one marshall at the 16mileish mark where the loos were and i go blanked. Thankfully one pointed me to a solarium where i relieved myself.The fact the race number didnt come till late either wouldnt have been a problem if everything that was advertised on the site was actually going to be part of the race.Like I said though i cant fault the support or the atmosphere. The route was no where near as boring and flat as i thought a 2 lap jolly round the prom would be either especially along the lower part of the prom past the lucozade station.Date of review: April 8, 2009
In short: PRILENT and ExcellentIn full: Weather Good For Us despite Windy althrough its settle down later with pure time at 9am near Hilton Hotel with speeding flat roads and well done Ron and his team with CRACKING day with Prilent Medal and last Ever T-Shirt.But The Council think twice again.Because I think its good value of money and it should be thinking again I Hope?Date of review: April 7, 2009
Date of review: April 7, 2009
In short: Good race. Date of review: April 7, 2009
In short: fantastic race lets just hope some way it can happen again next year, set new pb by around 10 mins Date of review: April 7, 2009

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (95 votes).
In short: Well organised local race, well done!In full: Great race in my home town so knew the route well. Started bang on time which meant no hanging around in the cold. Quick 1st half with lots of chatting with other runners. Good support along the way and the marshals were great from those managing the traffic to the water/sponge stations. It was a cold day with snow showers at times to a big well done to them for standing out there for over 4 hours. Thanks guys! Fairly lonely 2nd lap as most of the half marathoners had finished (very jealous of them at mile 13!) but the support form locals/marshals was still fantastic. Got really hard from mile 17 onwards but the words of encouragement from other runners as I passed was amazing, a real sense of being in it together. Good spotting at the end, the commentator had my name called out within seconds of me turning the final corner. An amazing 1st marathon for me (3.39) and my sister was 1st lady! A really well organised event, couldnt have asked for better for my first time around. Should be in London next year but will definitely be back at some point to revist that awful Rumwell Hill! Date of review: April 8, 2008
In short: Nice friendly race In full: I've been waiting to run this for years - so thank you to the organisers for going to chip timing so that I didn't have to time-keep! Thoroughly enjoyed the day, running round with a team mate for the half and then driving round to support the four Club mates in the marathon - or at least the two we could catch!Date of review: April 7, 2008
In short: Well organised race - even kept the snow awayIn full: A stress free race due to clockwork organisation. I last ran the race in 2006 and the new course is a great improvement by avoiding the park in the early miles. Unfortunately Rumwell Hill was as bad as I remembered which dented any aspirations for a PB.Well done to the organisers and the marshalls. I look forward to next year.Date of review: April 7, 2008
In short: it's a crackerIn full: A GREAT BIG "THANKS". To all of the marshalls,and all the helpers at the sponge and water stations.A well organized race, weather a bit strange but spot on for running.This race did me a lot of damage last year,but put that to rest with a personal best this year...If Steve and Brian are reading this, "Thanks alot lads for your support and letting me tag along, Hope your legs arnt as sore as mine." Will be there next year definitelyDate of review: April 7, 2008
In short: Two lap course with one short hill towards end of lap consisting ofrural roadsIn full: Through town at beginning of lap then out into country lanes The hill towards end of lap is short and sharp but managable even for runners towards back of field like meDate of review: April 7, 2008
In short: Good course, great support, weel orgainsed & good valueIn full: Left home in the snow but good conditions in Taunton. Start was a little congested but chip timimg helped. Good facilities in the college - 10 mins before start and no waiting at the loos!! Well organised and marshalled. Great crowd support. Well organised at the finish too(unlike Bath!!) - nice medal and T-shirt - great value. Slightly different course since I did this in 2006. Had hoped for a pb but was 1 minute slower. However, I was 7 minutes faster than in 2006. All in all a good event! Date of review: April 7, 2008
In short: Superb organisation, great course and you even managed to fix the weather!In full: Well done Taunton. First time for me at this one and it is now an annual fixture. Loved it. Great course with a good mix of town and scenery and just a couple of hills to keep it interesting. Four of us came down from Worcester and all went home with PB's so it's deceptively quick as well. All helped by near perfect weather and great facilities when you get back. Date of review: April 7, 2008
In short: Once again my home town race does me proudIn full: The weather forecast was not good but in the end the weather was pretty much perfect although is it me or did it seem windier on the second lap?I missed by PB by two minutes but put that down to being under the weather the week before. I had cramp in a calf at miles 16 to 18, but ran it off - I didn't know you could do that!!The marshalls were really great as ever, I think they are a cut above other races and the encouragement near the end was really appreciated - thanks.No real complaints, the start is a little crowded, and I found it impossible to start in the right place but I did arrive late. I have no complaints about the new route, theres little difference truth be told.Once again, well done Taunton, and see you next year (hopefully my knees can't read!)Date of review: April 7, 2008
In short: A well organised event like clockwork [ take note Bath] .Parts of the course lacking in atmospher e In full: The event was very well organised and started bang on time. All marshalls on the course and baggage hall were brilliant. Must learne to drink out of paper cups while moving?.The course deserves better support from local spectators as some parts of the course seemed like a training run. The hill at the end was a welcome like a hole in the head.Overall a well attended event that put Bath to shame. Date of review: April 7, 2008
In short: This an excellent race overall, well organised, friendly Marshalls, good local support, great course and the cool sunny (with a dash of snow) weather was perfect. In full: I was looking for PB Marathon course and I'm glad I decided to go for Taunton. It is a fairly fast undulating course with testing hills but also good downhill sections. I my opinion the run up to Oake on the second lap seemed tough but it was still possible to maintain pace through this section. You have to budget some time for the Rumwell Hill but it is fast to the finish from there. I achieved my first sub 3:30 (and some) and even shaved a few secs off my PB half.The start facilities in SCAT were excellent with plenty of loos throughout the campus and short queues. The course was well signposted with lots of friendly Marshalls, young and old, keeping things in order. The finish line was well organised, with plenty of room & time for Marathon finishers to enjoy the moment. The Medal, T-Shirts and results were promptly posted near the finish line.A minor suggestion: As there aren't that many Marathon runners I would suggest having water available at the sponge tables on the second lap. Hand out the water and leave the sponges, in water filled trays, as a self-service item on a nearby table. OR just drop the sponges altogether as you can always throw a cup of water over your head.Date of review: April 7, 2008

Communication and Perception
Fin whales, like blue whales, communicate through vocalizations. Fin whales produce low frequency sounds that range from 16 to 40 Hz, outside of the hearing range of humans. They also produce 20 Hz pulses (both single and patterned pulses), ragged low-frequency pluses and rumbles, and non-vocal sharp impulse sounds. Single frequencies (non-patterned pulses) last between 1 and 2 minutes while patterned calling can last for up to 15 minutes. The patterned pulses may be repeated for many days. ("Finback Whales and Bioacoustics Research Program", 2006; Gambell, 1985; McDonlad, Hildebrand, and Webb, 1995)
Higher frequency sounds have been recorded and are believed to be used for communications between nearby fin whales and other pods. These high frequencies may communicate information about local food availability. The 20 Hz single pulses help whales communicate with both local and long distances members and patterned 20 Hz pulses are associated with courtship displays. (Gambell, 1985; McDonlad, Hildebrand, and Webb, 1995)
A study done about the sound frequencies of fin whales suggest that whales use counter-calling in order to get information about their surroundings. Counter-calling is when one whale of a pod calls and another answers. The information conveyed by the time it takes to answer as well as the echo of the answer is believed to hold a lot of important information about the whale's surroundings. (Gambell, 1985; McDonlad, Hildebrand, and Webb, 1995)

When it comes to social marketing, will we be able to keep up with twenty-something's, who seem to be taking over?
These last two weeks I've felt old and out of touch for the first time in my life. No, it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm turning 30 tomorrow—thank you very much. It has to do with my growing impression that twenty-something's are running the social marketing show for retailers, and I'm having a hard time keeping up.
It started the other day when 24-year-old Bridget Johnson over at fashion accessories retailer One Click Ventures was catching me up on the latest tools for marketing through social networks she and her 24-year-old cohort Sarah Ellis have been trying out.
Apparently, she tells me, Klout Score can determine how influential particular shoppers are in a retailer's social network, SocialMention.com can tell retailers generally how their Twitter followers are feeling about them at any given moment, and Ravel Internet Marketing Tools can tell a retailer which of its fans are the most likely to share information about its products.
It sounds cool but, poor Bridget, I had to stop her mid-sentence about six times. "Wait, can you start over?" I asked. "Explain to me what a Klout Score is again please?" Or, "Hold on, you mean to tell me that retailers are actually finding out information about their Twitter followers and then actually carrying on conversations with these people if they are influential enough?" And, of course, my go-to favorite, "Can you talk a bit slower?"
Same thing goes for my conversion with Jon West, the founder of web-only niche merchant 3tailer LLC, who is launching a social commerce platform that integrates conversion tracking. I would imagine it's a pretty valuable tool for the retailers who are constantly telling me they don't know what their sales from social media outlets are because it's too hard to measure. But after I had to ask Jon, "Wait, what is a URL shortener again?" and, "Can you talk in plain English for me please?" I knew the guy had to be in his twenties. And so I asked him that, too. 27 it turns out.
I'm one of the younger writers here at Internet Retailer. I'm on Facebook and YouTube quite a bit, dabble on Twitter and do my best to keep up with the latest from Google +1, Foursquare and the rest. So you'd think if there was anybody down with the social media lingo it would be me. Let's just say I'm glad it's my colleague Zak Stambor that is tasked with the social marketing beat and not myself, because the last few times I've talked with twenty-something's about Twitter I feel like my mother must when she asks me—for the seventh time—how to attach a photo to an e-mail or where to the find the show she just recorded on Tivo.
Keep up the good work, guys, because it's beyond fun to hear about what you're coming up with. I just hope I can keep up. And, when you're talking to retailers about your services, remember that some of them are likely to be over 30. So talk slow.

An ultra-light, lumbar reservoir-based mountain bike pack that repositions the water weight on your hips for maximum stability and comfort.
Reservoir Features: Antidote® Lumbar Reservoir with 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
Key Pack Features: Ultra-light materials, lumbar reservoir compression, bike tool organizer pocket, stretch overflow storage
Designed to Carry: Multi-tool, CO2 pump & cartridges, spare tube, extra layer, energy supplements, phone, wallet, keys
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we build it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab. Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes.
3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow.
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Comments about Volt 13 LR - Discontinued by CamelBak:
Great pack!! Very comfortable and compact. I've used it a couple of times on the bike already and it really stays put on my back! Lots of room for other gear in the extra pockets. I would definitely recommend this pack!

CamelBak Volt 13 LR an ABSOLUTE for Mountain Biking
By Rick
from El Paso, Texas
An absolute must have for the mountain biker! Comfortable, holds plenty of fluid, enough storage for yourself and others just in case.
Perfect for how I ride
By Jason W
from Houston, TX
When other camelbak users said their vertical packs would ride up on them sometimes I decided to try the lumbar pack. I liked this one since it wasn't wide like the other kind but stubby and square like to keep the flow coming. It holds way more gear than I need and 3L of water for my sweaty rides. I use the side pockets made possible because it is a lumbar pack to hold my phone and power bars. Very impressed!
Great Pack for tall folks
By B
from Ophir, CO
About Me Avid Cyclist
I use this for short rides and long rides. I am 6'7" and rarely find packs that fit and this one does. Normally the sternum strap is at my throat and the waist belt is up on my ribs. The pack stays put because the the bladder is at your waist, and it doesn't ride up on my neck when terrain is steep.The light weight material doesn't hold up well, but nothing a little duct tape can't fix. I am ordering another one, for fear that it may be discontinued some day.Would be nice if there was some lash points for an extra layer.
Very conmfortable and secure
By Ed
from Arleta, CA
I use this product mainly for Mountain Biking and it is the first time I use a CamelbaK, so far I love it.
worth the money
By Jordy

All i have got to say is i am very pleased with this back pack!!!Thank you Camelbak!!!

Too Hot!
By Thebe
from SF Bay Area, CA
Bag clings to the back and does not let in any air - even when all I have in it is water. It gets very very hot even in moderate CA, bay area summers.Otherwise its easy on the back from a load perspective and has great organizational features. I will use this bag in the winters and my CB Blowfish in the summers.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In short: Like Clockwork !!In full: Enjoyed the whole experience would recommend it to anyone. Will definetely be back next year !!Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: Well organised, very enyoyable and much better than last year, but that wouldn't be difficultDate of review: April 2, 2007
In short: A good, well-organised half. Well done!Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: Good Race and a PB on a flat course. In full: Better than last year. Will put this in the calendar for next year. The Athletes village was a good idea as was the whole thing with the run itself. Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: A very well organised race, well thought out and enjoyable.Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: A well organised run and lots of marshalls !In full: I enjoyed the half ! Completely different to last years fiasco when I couldn't cross the finish line and got alloacted a finish time 45mins after I'd finished ! Everything ran like clockwork, loads of loo's, marshalls, water stations !Also, why are some people slating the the marshalls ? They gave up THEIR time to allow this race to go ahead ! I think they are great !Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: Much improved.In full: The start/finish area was far better than last year, although the time zones could have been adhered to a bit better.There were still not enough loo's for the number of people (many using the ditch), although it was better.The support was good, perhaps some bands in the quieter areas would cheer things up.The water stations could have been MUCH longer. I totally missed a drink at one station, because there were so many people trying to grab a drink and what seemed like only two tables worth of drinks. Open bottles are hard to use while running, it's like an egg and spoon race to keep the water in the bottle.Overall, a good race with most people coming away with a good time.Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: What an improvement on last year!In full: Much better organisation, better start, more water stations and toilets along the route. Chip timing and a larger finish area made the end of race smooth and fast to get through. Things to improve on for next year would be to have sports top water bottles and possibly some entertainment at more demoralising points along the race.Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: Glad it had a second chance!In full: Overall a good day, and no problems at the start and finish areas - managed to make my customary 2 pre-race loo queues with no trouble!Suggestions for the future would be: the bag storage should be supervised - I dropped off and collected my own bag, and could easily have taken someone else's, had I wanted to...As the only sheltered areas were the changing areas, My male companion and I couldn't shelter from the cold wind pre-race together, which didn't help pre-race nerves...Since the organiser's have so clearly listened to what runners wanted after last year, I think this race will go from strength to strength, and hopefully get more local support each year.A good day out - thank you!Date of review: April 2, 2007
In short: First half marathon and thoroughly enjoyed it!In full: Very well organised except car park on trying to leave! Date of review: April 2, 2007

Local governance
Building stronger communities
Sub-national institutions constitute one of the most important avenues for poor people, women and minorities to participate in the development of their communities and influence the decision-making processes that are directly relevant to their lives.
Important opportunities for poor people, women and minorities to participate in the development of their communities are to be found in local and regional institutions of governance.
A new generation of democratically-elected local leaders is creating change, acting as catalysts for development and facing new challenges. UNDP focuses its work in local governance on strengthening the inclusiveness and accountability of sub-national governments, ensuring they have the capacity to manage the opportunities and responsibilities created by decentralization and devolution.
At the sub-national level, local institutions reflect great differences in history, culture, capacity, infrastructure, styles and practices. Responsive to this diversity, UNDP focuses its support in four priority areas:
- Local governance for improved service delivery and MDG acceleration. Most basic services for citizens are provided by local governments. The aim is to improve their ability and capacity to become better administrators, raise revenue and deliver high-quality services to accelerate progress towards the MDGs.
- Local governance for state- and peace-building. Government can promote peace and reconciliation at the local level. They can build consensus through dialogue, promote trust, and integrate conflict prevention into programmes and services.
- Local governance and democratic representation. As local leaders engage with marginalized groups and promote accountability, inclusion and participation, the representation of citizens will enhance democracy.
- Local governance and environmental sustainability: UNDP works to develop robust local governance systems, capable of addressing the challenges posed by climate change, environmental sustainability and disaster risk reduction.
Our work also addresses access to information, integrity, accountability, transparency, human rights, gender equality, leadership and critical choice capacities, sectoral governance and knowledge management. Many local governance initiatives focus on women and indigenous peoples, often in places where local governance is still taking shape.

Topic: Regular expression
I am parsing files, but I only want to parse them if they are in a certain format. This is what they are supposed to look like:
It starts with a letter, any letter, then can be any amount of any numbers 0-9. Then an underscore. Then any amount of any characters a-z until a dash. Then any amount of characters a-z until an underscore. Then any amount of any characters until the next underscore. Then any amount of characters a-z until another underscore, and so on until it's finished.
This is what I have so far the 'i' after the code makes it case insensitive:
It's not finished because I'm stuck with the underscore right after the long number separated by periods. It matches perfectly until the underscore after that number but instead of stopping at the underscore after the number before 'led', it continues on until the next underscore and stops there?
The red code should have every character after the '-sp_' and up until the next underscore (blue underscore), but instead it captures everything up until the underscore after 'led' (red underscore). I'm not sure why it won't stop at the first underscore in it's path, but it doesn't, it stops at the second one. Why is this? I want it to stop at the first underscore. How can I change this?
Sorry that's probably confusing, maybe the best way to see what I mean is to do this:
go to this regexp editor and copy and paste this reg exp:
and copy and paste the string to match:
I hope you can understand that. Thanks in advance.

"You are so motivated to make sure the trip goes smoothly, because you know that the organs of these two kids are now going to save the lives of more than just a handful of other kids."
Haute Cuisine
"Chicken Supreme" Lives Up to Its Name
Tastefully Yours executive chef Dominique Fallings takes chicken to new heights with his Atlanta Chicken Supreme. Fallings stuffs a boneless, skinless breast with a pecan pesto with imported and toasted parmesan reggiano, a bit of basil and garlic and a touch of extra-virgin olive oil. He then pan sears the meat, finishes it in the oven and serves it with a peach bourbon jus lié.
The chicken sometimes shares a plate with wild rice pilaf and smoked spinach. Fallings sautées the spinach with olive oil in an extremely hot iron skillet. Then, before the pan starts to cool, he adds a generous dollop of butter. The resulting smoke provides the flavor.

Quote from: Foccaciaman on April 17, 2004, 11:39:54 PMThanks, but I don't have the book yet... if i post the recipe, will i be infringing on copyrights or anything? anyone have a definitive answer?-scott
That is a pretty funny example. Here is a scenario for you Mr. X is talking to his friend Mr. Y and says "hey I got this great cookie recipe once it was ..." Mr. Y then tries said recipe, finds it to his liking and then goes on the local chocolate chip forum and posts the great recipe from his friend. Not knowing that it was from Mrs. Fields Book on Cookies.Where does the law fall in this case since Mr. Y had no knowledge of the origin of the recipe.

Nice pizza Scott. Did you use corn oil?
