Natural Bridges
National Monument
How Natural Bridges Form
The rock in the park is a sandstone initially formed by windblown sand. The deep, looping White and Armstrong Canyons and the three bridges within them can be traced to the relentless action of water against the crossbedded sandstone. The desert stream would occasionally scour its bed with a great load of water and sand, so that conditions for forming natural bridges were set. Kachina and Sipapu straddle streams with long winding curves. (Owachomo, now straddling no stream, was apparently cut by the action of two streams.) When a river forms a great looping meander, almost circling back on itself, it can create the thin rock wall in which natural bridges form. Raging flood waters scrape away at both sides of the thin wall. Eventually the river breaks through and takes the shorter course under its new bridge, abandoning the old looping meander. The river continues to wear down the rock, enlarging the hole by cutting itself deeper. A natural bridge is temporary. Blocks fall from its undersides and its surfaces weather wear, and weaken. The span of Owachomo, for example, the oldest bridge, has worn thin.
- Owachomo Bridge no longer suffers stream erosion, but erosion by rain, frost action, and sandblast. Now in its late phase, it could already have a fatal crack, or it could stand for centuries.
The natural bridges represent three states: old age, maturity, and youth.
- Sipapu Bridge suffers little or no stream erosion because its abutments now lie far from the streambed. A mature bridge, it is largest in both height and span . Sipapu can be hard to spot from the overlook on the canyon rim, despite its size.
- Kachina Bridge, in its youthful state, looms huge and bulky. Floodwaters in White Canyon still work to enlarge it. A trail threads the canyon between Sipapu and Kachina bridges.
Discovering Three Scenic Treasures
History Prospector Cass Hite came across these perforated rock walls, called natural bridges, when he was exploring White Canyon from his Colorado River placer gold camp in 1883. In 1904 The National Geographic Magazine publicized the bridges, and on April 16, 1908 resident Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the national monument. Natural Bridges National Monument is Utah's first National Park Service area.
In 1904 the bridges were known by different names. Owachomo, Sipapu, and Kachina had been named, respectively, Edwin, Augusta, and Caroline, after early explorers or their relatives. In 1909 President William Howard Taft enlarged the boundaries and affixed the Hopi Indian names. Although Navajos and Paiutes are known to have lived in the area historically, there is no known Navajo term for the bridges. The Paiutes did not name the bridges individually but called them "Ma-Vah-Talk-Tump", meaning "under the horse's belly". The Hopi names were chosen because of the similarity between Hopi structures and the Anasazi cliff dwellings found throughout the area.
- Owachomo, meaning "rock mound", is named for the large rounded rock mass found on the northeastern abutment of the bridge.
- Sipapu means "the place of emergence" in Hopi legends.
- Rock art on the third bridge resembles symbols which are found on kachina dolls, thus the name Kachina or ghost dancer.
Natural History
Millions of years ago these sandstones were deposited and then, as part of the Colorado Plateau, were slowly uplifted. Erosional forces gradually created the canyons and landscapes seen today. Plant communities have varied over time as well. Pollen studies indicate that this area was once a spruce-fir forest. Gradual climatic changes altered the dominant plant type; however, small pockets of Douglas-fir trees are still seen on the cooler, moister north-facing cliffs near Sipapu Bridge.
Precipitation is infrequent, unpredictable, and at times dramatic - varying between long periods of drought and periods of relatively heavy precipitation. Plants and animals have adapted to this environment. Microbiotic soil, the black and lumpy crust throughout the area, retains moisture and stabilizes and adds nutrients to the soil. This allows other plant communities, such as the pinyon juniper forest, to develop and mature.
How Bridges and Arches Differ
- Natural bridges are formed by the erosive action of running water,
- Arches are formed by other erosional forces (such as wind).
These ruins are very fragile. Do not enter the structures or walk on or near walls. Leave everything you find as it is.
Geologic Setting
In 1904, National Geographic referred to the 'Colossal Bridges of Utah', grabbing the public interest in the first decade of the 20th Century. Theodore Roosevelt established Natural Bridges as Utah's first National Monument . . . read more
Geologic History
Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah's first national monument, was established to protect three large natural bridges and ancient masonry structures constructed by ancestral Puebloan people. Unlike an arch, like those at Arches National Park, a natural bridge forms through the process of flowing water . . . read more
Geologic Features & Processes
The three bridges in Natural Bridges National Monument, Sipapu, Kachina, and Owachomo, are among the ten largest in the world, and they are all developed in the Lower Permian Cedar Mesa Sandstone. Hopi names were assigned to the bridges because modern-day Hopis are descendents of the people who occupied these remote canyons . . . read more

Shares of enterprise social networking purveyors LinkedIn (LNKD) are down $6.13, or 2.5%, at $240.15, in late trading after the company announced it will sell up to $1 billion worth of shares in a follow-on public offering, with proceeds to be used "to increase LinkedIn's financial flexibility and to further strengthen its balance sheet."
Pricing is expected to be announced Wednesday night, according to TheFlyontheWall.
LinkedIn competes with a number of enterprise and social networking outfits, to one extent or another, including Microsoft (MSFT), Facebook (FB), International Business Machines (IBM), Salesforce.com (CRM), and SAP AG (SAP).
LinkedIn went public on May 19th of 2011 at a price of 45% and more than doubled on the first day of trading.

Ultimate Ears Pro 18+
"I had the UE18 before this (possibly my favorite CIEM) and the difference here is quite pronounced for me. I did read up on a lot of the reviews in the period these were being constructed and the comparisons seemed to liken them more to the UERM. Yes.

It was difficult to achieve the good isolation, i tried 10+ pair of silicon cushions and i finally got one which fits perfectly into my ears.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (Clear)
" These were my first IEMs, so obviously at first I thought that these were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But after awhile... Bass is clear and punchy. Highs are pretty clear but high mids can get a bit muddy IMO. I'll be honest, it takes a lot of work to get these to fit, and once you do, they are really uncomfortable, at least for me. " --vleung92
Grado GR8 In-Ear Headphones
" I love the full size grado HF2 and older grado's but these do not sound good to my ears. Strident and uneven. These were not lovingly crafted or dialed in. There was no 'man' behind the tuning of these and this is evident in the final product.

text: I regularly attend the scifi expo in Plano. I attended the last customer appreciation day about 3 months ago. They have the free show in their smaller conference hall, which holds approximately 20-25 vendors. It is not real big, but there will probably some good deals to be found. I would attend it if you are in the area, as you never know what you may find.

- Edmonton river valley...with the yoga class... and the Folk Festival in Gallagher Park by Dave Belcher
Edmonton is home to many festivals...here's a shot of the Folk Festival in Gallagher Park (top left) also showing the Muttart Conservatory pyramids, the oriental kiosk in the foreground in Louise McKinney Park and the yoga class on the right. Camera was located at the top of Grierson Hill.
While setting up to shoot the whole river valley, I first did a test shot of the yoga class on the right. The full sized Gigapan (890 megapixels) is currently uploading on my dialup and should be available by Tuesday Aug 11. So far it's been chugging for more than 38 hours.

All county volleyball teams continue to fall below .500 on the season. Last week Munroe split two games, picking up a district win in the process. Both East and West Gadsden were handed losses.
Coming off of a 1-9 season last year, some might say you don't have anywhere to go but up. There's a little more to the turnaround by the Bobcats of Robert F. Munroe Day School this season than simply the law of averages.
On September 13 the East Gadsden Jaguars suffered a tough 61-0 loss to the Godby Cougars. Last week the Jaguars were off, the team used the extra time to rest their bodies and do some team-building exercises. East Gadsden's head coach, Tracy Laing, described the mood of the team after the Godby game as "kind of disturbing' the game was a big letdown. (We have) got to take the loss and move on. I'm ready to get the Godby game out of sight."
Munroe rallied from a completely lopsided 25-6 score in game one, to win game two 25-13. They then dropped game three 25-15 but won game four 25-22, pushing a fifth game. The visitors from Albany then prevailed in the final game 15-8.
After a win at FAMU High, the West Gadsden Panthers had a home game against the Vernon Yellow Jackets.
Vernon kicked the ball off to the Panthers. The Panther starts off running the ball, Antonio Murphy, No. 12, had four rushes for 25 yards on the first drive then Panther Quarterback Qwuantrezz, a sophomore, threw a touchdown pass to Marquiz Brown, No. 8, for 36 yards. Vernon's junior quarterback G. Johnson had an 80-yard kick-off return for a touchdown, putting the score at 7-6 in the first quarter with six minutes left.
Times Sports
Using a stifling defense to go along with a potent offensive attack, the Munroe Bobcats opened the regular season in grand fashion Friday with a shutout of St. Joseph Academy in St.
Bobcat defenders kept the pressure on flash quarterback Thompson Hinman, sacking him three times, one each by ends Walt Kelleher and Max Baroody and tackle Joey Fallis, and forcing an interception and two intentional grounding penalties. Munroe also caused and recovered three fumbles.
The Munroe volleyball team had a tough opening week with three losses. Two of the three matches went to the fifth game but with the same result. The team is rebuilding, following the graduation of four-year starters Kaitlyn Sirmons, Mollie Edwards and Audrey Thomas, and with only one senior, the team members hope to hit their stride mid-season.
West Gadsden opened their season with a district loss to Port St. Joe.

Over at GeneaBloggers I've recently written about blog content theft and offered tools on how to track who is copying your text and how. Well now with a heads-up from a recent post at Creative Commons blog, there is a new tool which can help you enforce your Creative Commons license.
The tool is called tracer and here is the premise: when a snippet of javascript is installed on your blog template, a person copying text from your blog will see an attribution and link back to your post when they paste the text.
Pretty neat, right? Here is what happens right now if you copy and paste from the GeneaBloggers site where I have tracer installed:
1. Select text to copy then use CTRL + C or right-click and select Copy from the shortcut menu.
2. Next go to a Rich Text Editor based location to paste the text. This would include the screen used to create a blog post, a Microsoft Word document or even a blank email message using Google Mail or Microsoft Outlook. Use CTRL + V or right-click and select Paste from the shortcut menu.
3. You will notice how not only is the original copied text pasted, but there is also text at the end of the copied segment with a link back to the original post and the type of Creative Commons license in effect.
tracer could not be easier to sign up for (it's free) and use. In fact, normally I would post a "how to" on getting the javascript code pasted into your Blogger or WordPress template. But tracer has a great How To Setup Tracer On Your Blog page so they've made my job easier! (Note: currently you can only use tracer on a hosted WordPress blog - meaning you have your own domain name and paid hosting for your WordPress blog.)
While tracer will not stop someone from deleting the attribution link and language, it will serve as a reminder to to person copying your valuable content that there is a Creative Commons license in force at your site.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Both programs have seen better days, but the names still command attention when you put Ole Miss and Texas together on a football field.
A visit by the No. 14-ranked Longhorns to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to face rebuilding Ole Miss highlights Week 3 of college football locally.
Mississippi State (2-0), coming off its first win against an SEC Western Division opponent not named Ole Miss, travels to Troy to face the Trojans (1-1).
What looked like an easy road trip when the season began may be viewed from a different perspective now in light of a big upset win for Louisiana-Monroe – a Sun Belt Conference team like Troy – against No. 8 Arkansas in Little Rock on Saturday night.
Ole Miss amassed more than 500 yards of offense for the second-straight week in defeating UTEP 28-10.
The Rebels and Longhorns are both 2-0. Texas will present Ole Miss with a measuring stick on a different level.
"I think it's a little early for us to say how big a game that really is," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. "The thing that makes it big to us is recruiting. We'll be on a national stage, and we'll have an opportunity in front of a lot of people playing at that time to showcase Ole Miss, our stadium, our fans, the atmosphere here, the Grove."
Growing confidence
It's better for the Rebels to host the Longhorns after two wins, as opposed to it being a season opener.
Freeze made it a point to hit his familiar off-season themes following the UTEP win, speaking of the program in the wilderness and again touching on limited talent and depth.
But it's clear that confidence is growing. The Rebels were better on the defensive line in Week 2, holding the Miners to 1.2 yards per rush.
"You match last year's output … I really haven't thought about it, but the kids were talking about it this week and over at the hotel last night," defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. "I think they have confidence in us, and we have confidence in them, so it's a huge thing, but we have a long way to go to be able to be successful next week."

Ingmar Bergman, who died Sunday, was one of the last of the great world filmmakers who came to fame around the mid century and changed the face of movies. But he ended his career as he had begun it, in the theater rather than on screen. He was trained as a stage director in Stockholm before entering film (initially as a script doctor and a screenwriter), and he never deserted the stage. When he retired from movies in his 60s (twice — first with Fanny and Alexander in 1983, which he declared to be his swan song, and then again unofficially with After the Rehearsal, which was released worldwide after being shown on Swedish TV), he devoted his attention to mounting productions, in Swedish, of Shakespeare and classics of the modern theater.
Of course, he was a consummate moviemaker whose greatest images play on in our memories: the point-of-view shot from the old man's coffin in Wild Strawberries, the chess game with Death in The Seventh Seal, the merging faces of the two women in Persona, the water choked with bodies in his apocalyptic war film Shame. But unlike the other masters who emerged in the '40s, like Akira Kurosawa and Orson Welles and John Huston, or in the '50s, like Satyajit Ray and François Truffaut and Kon Ichikawa — unlike even Robert Altman, who interrupted his film career to direct plays, and some of whose best movies began as plays he himself staged — Bergman really thought in theatrical terms more than cinematic ones. When Altman turned Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean or Secret Honor into a movie, it felt oddly as if it had just been waiting for someone to recognize its essential film essence. But Bergman's movies often feel like plays on film, though none of them, with the singular exception of his sublime 1975 version of The Magic Flute, actually began as plays. They usually consist of dramatic texts (written by Bergman), significantly dialogue-heavy, delivered by actors in his stock company — Bibi Andersson, Max von Sydow, Harriet Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Gunnar Björnstrand, and others — who have clearly approached them as theatrical ensembles approach new productions, beginning with table talk about the psychology of the characters and then moving into a protracted rehearsal period. Part of what, I think, American audiences responded to when they watched Bergman pictures in the '50s and '60s, in the golden age of the foreign-film arthouse, was the thing that made them unique — not the metaphysical, God-is-a-spider stuff (Through a Glass Darkly hasn't aged well, and Bergman was never much of a philosopher) so much as the theatrical intensity of the interaction among Bergman's actors.

8) Jeff Ireland stimulates local advertising economy with his name towed on a banner behind a airplane.
9) Jeff Ireland builds community outings by creating protest at team headquarters.
10) Jeff Ireland helped Ms. Bryant reform her life when he brought her whorish ways to public light.
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
I will just say that when Ireland first got here, he wanted to draft Anquan Bolden WR in the second round and recommended that to Parcells who thought differently. e should have been a dolphin from the start.
Amazing that the Colts went out and hired the GM that I wanted a couple of years ago...
And then that GM went out and drafted three players that I screamed about last season and then went on to a 9 win improvement.
From 2 wins to 11 wins...without a superstar at left tackle lol.
Crazy stuff.
Don't get me wrong...the OP makes some very valid and deservedly passionate points and is entitled to vent. However most of these points part and parcel or together have been reiterated and regurgitated ad nauseum. At some point in the near future it might be a good idea for our Admins to step in to start a forever-merging "Jeff Ireland. Soapbox Pro & Con Master Thread" to allow continued venting or defending even though it has all been said or covered before.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Infinity and Beyond
Years earlier, I probably would have stood, walked to the lip of the ridge, hammered on a call and then slipped through the woods to where I thought the turkeys might be. However, those types of aggressive moves can often be the kiss of death with silent, henned-up birds. After a brief discussion, Jerry and I decided to stay put and see what would happen.
I grabbed my box call and yelped a few times. Minutes later, I went into a long calling series. Five minutes and numerous yelps later, I had nothing to show for it.
"There he is!" Jerry hissed.
Unbelievable. A snow-white head atop a blood-red neck had shot up from the edge of the woods and was surveying the field. Soon, he puffed up like a balloon, fanned out his tail and began drumming. A minute later, he was flopping by the decoy.
"Man, I'm glad we stayed put," I said.
Jerry nodded.
"Yeah, I couldn't tell where they were, so it seemed silly to go blundering through the woods," he said. "A lot of guys move way too soon, before they know what's going on."
I didn't bother telling Jerry that I was usually one of those guys. For the moment, we looked like geniuses, and I liked that feeling.
What decision did you make?

Honda Engine or Cooling System Problems? Find a great local specialist.
Patrick came to pick the car up, we discussed the repair that the car needed along with a few other things I've noticed. He went away and completed the job in good time, returned the car with no issues. Repair was a good standard and the handling is perfect now, the other issues he checked for free and advised on what may need doing in the future. What more could you ask of your mechanic? I will use Patrick & Automotive Components Specialists in the future, 10/10.
Patrick was upfront and gave honest advice. He arranged to have the car picked up and dropped it off himself. The work was completed quickly and the car is sounding much better now. Thanks!
My local garage was trying to charge me a fortune for A DMF and clutch for my Skoda Octavia .So I thought I'd do some research and ended up on this website .The First person to quote was Patrick and from then on it was a pleasure dealing with him .I never even saw his garage in Enfield ,he picked my car up for free in Kilburn and had it back within 24 hrs completed .This guy lives ,eats and breathes cars ..especially clutches I think ! He answered all my questions and I got a really good price and also new front shock absorbers and a years warranty on parts and labour .Check out all his awards -I'll definitely recommend him to everyone David (Kilburn )
excellent service very quick and honest would highly recommend. Patrick is very helpful and friendly .
Fantastic, have recommended to all my friends and family!

Look up "streets & maps" on the computer. I just sent a load of 512 that route last week .
Have tried several routes, and here's the one I'm sticking with (from ND to CA):
I94/90 to just east of Butte, MT
Hwy 41 south to Dillon, MT, get on I15
I15/86 to Twin Falls, ID
Hwy 93 south @ Twin Falls to Wells, NV, get on I80
I80 west to CA

How many hours from Bismarck Gregg (roughly).
And thanks...
Closing in on retirement.......
Not exactly sure right off the top of my head, but about 26 hours of actual drving time I believe to Fresno from Bismarck. Kept pretty close track in April coming back and came to 1,735 miles from beeyard (south off Fresno about 30 miles) to Bismarck. Have left Bismarck at 4 pm on a Friday and been in Fresno about 1 pm on Sunday (that's only if your slightly crazy like my partner & myself and drive 1,100 miles on that Saturday!).

OK, you're giving me flashbacks to my career as a long-haul trucker. (just kidding) Our average shift, 7 days a week, 5-7 weeks at a time, was a little over 600 miles.
At least you get a weekend workin' bees...most of the time...

Deeplinks Blog posts about Innovation
This week, together with Public Knowledge and Engine, EFF submitted written comments to the Patent Office regarding its Patent Quality Initiative. We urge the Patent Office to ensure that this program actually reduces the number of invalid patents being issued. Its quality efforts should serve the public interest, not the special interests of patent applicants.
Imagine you're on your way to deliver a case of beer to a party. Before you get there, your boss sends you a text: They want 2 cases now. You read the text while driving (don't do that), so you deliver an extra case when you arrive. Having successfully completed that task, you leave for your next delivery.
Congratulations! You might get sued by the owner of April's stupid patent of the month.
Suppose you get sued by a patent troll. You then learn that the troll has been sitting on its patent for years without giving you any warning. If you'd known about the risk, you might have been able to design your product differently to avoid infringement. Even worse, when you try to prove that the patent covers an obvious invention, all of the best evidence (such as websites or code repositories) has disappeared because of the passage of time. Instead of winning the case, you must pay years worth of damages to the troll.
EFF recently won our challenge to invalidate claims of the "podcasting patent" using a procedure at the Patent Office called inter partes review. This procedure allowed us to challenge a patent that was being used to demand licenses from individual podcasters, even though EFF itself had never been threatened by the patent owner. EFF's ability to file this petition was important because many of those targeted by the patent owner—small podcasters—would be unable to afford the $22,000 filing fees to challenge the patent, let alone the attorneys' fees that would come along with it. Also, if an individual podcaster had filed an inter partes review it would have faced a risk of retaliation in the form of a district court lawsuit from Personal Audio.
EFF is fighting for vehicle owners' rights to inspect the code that runs their vehicles and to repair and modify their vehicles, or have a mechanic of their choice do the work. At the moment, the anti-circumvention prohibition in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act arguably restricts vehicle inspection, repair, and modification. If EFF is successful then vehicle owners will be free to inspect and tinker, as long as they don't run afoul of other regulations, such as those governing vehicle emissions, safety, or copyright law.
You can support EFF's exemption requests by adding your name to the petition we'll submit in the rulemaking.

C'était un studio vraiment trés agréable,clair,ensoleillé et surtout trés propre et trés sympathiquement équipé:sel,savon,dentifrice,materiel de cuisine,fer a repasser etc
Trés important pour simplifier la vie
A coté d'un arrét de bus
Je reviendrai volontiers
Studio well decorated and well appointed with balcony, nice bathroom, towels, sheets, near downtown with about 500m off the Unterbergstrasse station on the U2 line. Quiet location, with nearby bakery, supermarket ... Matthäus is very friendly and puts you at ease. An address to remember for a future stay and decent price.

Hello everyone, for all the Italians who want to spend a holiday in Monaco of Bavaria recommend this studio convenient and well connected to the center. Me and my girlfriend we were very good (we stayed for 1 week). The owner is very nice and was very friendly to explain everything, including the basic necessities that are nearby (such as supermarkets, pubs and quant 'other).
ciao a tutti,
per tutti gli italiani che hanno voglia di trascorrere una vacanza a Monaco di Baviera suggerisco questo monolocale comodo e ben collegato con il centro.
Io e la mia ragazza ci siamo trovati molto bene (abbiamo soggiornato per 1 settimana ). Inoltre il proprietario è simpaticissimo ed è stato molto cordiale a spiegarci tutto, compreso i beni di prima necessità che si trovano nelle vicinanze ( come supermercati, pub e quant' altro).
I spent one month in the Apartment. It is comfortable, fully furnished, cozy. In the kitchen You will find all necessary equiptment to cook and make tasty coffee. The location alows You to get to the city centre by tram, train and underground. The walk takes You around 40 minutes, what I personally recommend. The only thing to complain is not so modern bathroom and too thin entrance door which doesn't deaden the noises from the staircase. Generally it's good value for money. I recommend:)
Very nice appartment! Good location, S-Bahn station only 5 minutes walking distance, clean and with all utilities one might need. Also, Matthäus is a very nice host! Good choice for the price you pay!
Accommodation very nice, clean and quiet. Ideal location to take public transport (tram and metro front of the house in less than 5 min walk). Matthäus is very friendly and even picked me up by car ...
Logement très agréable, propre et tranquille. Situation idéale pour prendre les transport publics (tram devant la maison et métro à moins de 5 min à pied). Matthäus est très sympathique et il est même venu me chercher en voiture ...
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

This test uses ultrasound to examine the blood flow in the major arteries and veins in the arms and legs.
The test is done in the ultrasound or radiology department or in a peripheral vascular lab.
A water-soluble gel is placed on a handheld device called a transducer, which directs the high-frequency sound waves to the artery or veins being tested.
When examining the arteries, the following will also be done:
Blood pressure cuffs may be put around different parts of the body, including the thigh, calf, ankle, and different points along the arm. A paste is applied to the skin over the arteries being examined. Images are created as the transducer is moved over each area.
You will need to remove clothing from the arm or leg being examined.
There is little or no discomfort associated with this test.
This test is done as an alternative to arteriography and venography. It may help diagnose:
The test may also be used to evaluate injury to the arteries and to monitor arterial reconstruction and bypass grafts.
A normal result means the blood vessels show no signs of narrowing or closure, and the arteries have normal blood flow.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Additional conditions under which this test may be performed include:
There are no risks specifically associated with this procedure.
Cigarette smoking may alter the results of this test, because nicotine can cause the arteries in the extremities to constrict.
Quitting smoking significantly lowers the risk of problems with the heart and circulatory system. Most smoking-related deaths are caused by cardiovascular problems, not lung cancer.

Fulton Hogan's $3.7b forward order book cheering after profit dip and deaths in 2012.
New Zealand's biggest civil engineering and resource business, Fulton Hogan, has a $3.7 billion forward order book, nearly four times the size of Fletcher's Construction's $1.1 billion.
This month, the Christchurch-headquartered Dunedin-registered Australasian business posted its June 2012 annual report on the Companies Office website, spelling out a disastrous last year, although managing director Nick Miller signalled a much better current performance.
"The business has made a strong start to the 2012-13 financial year and as of October 1, 2012, we have secured $3.7 billion work-in-hand which is significant given the current economic outlook. Additionally, we have outperformed our first quarter budget and I am confident that the changes implemented have stabilised the company and will strengthen our financial performance," Miller said.
Fletcher Building chief executive Mark Adamson said Fletcher's order book stood at about $1.1 billion at December 31, including the country's largest infrastructure job, the Transport Agency's $2 billion Waterview Connection.
Fulton Hogan's poor performance in Australia was responsible for 2011's $73.9 million profit being sliced back to $7.9 million. Retired chairman Ed Johnson said the 2012 result was "a disappointing and totally unacceptable group performance".
Four staff members were killed that year: Walter Cross by a reversing grader at the Port of Tauranga, Jeff Kunst in a Queensland tractor collision, Kerry Ferris crushed by a roller in Nelson and Richard McGavin run over by a truck in Tasmania.
Miller said 2012 was the toughest and most challenging in his eight years as a senior executive and Johnson said the tragic loss of four valued staff members in separate workplace accidents affected the company to its core.
Johnson said Fulton Hogan's New Zealand businesses continued their long history of sustained growth but the Australian business "simply performed poorly", particularly the construction business.
Miller blamed wet weather on the Pacific Motorway Sapphire-to-Woolgoola joint venture in New South Wales, growing pains from the acquisition of Pioneer Road Services, underperforming projects, high levels of employee turnover, leadership challenges, increased overheads and risk profiles.
He said 57 Australian staff were retrenched, growth aspirations were slowed and a back-to-basics approach was being taken.
The group's $2.73 billion revenue came from $2.7 billion construction contract services, $27 million from the sale of land and the rest from the sale of carbon credits and forestry income.
Fulton Hogan is still partially owned by global giant Shell, which it is gradually buying out, but Johnson said an agreement had been reached to partially defer the next two Shell buyback instalments so the company could consider potential acquisitions.
Fulton Hogan had 1217 employees in 2011 but 1582 last year, the highest-paid receiving $920,000 to $930,000.
Miller said the joint venture with John Holland continued to play a key role in the company's New Zealand diversification strategy, winning the Ohai rail upgrade, Auckland's Hunua 4 water pipeline project and chasing hydro-electricity projects and the Christchurch rebuild.
Fulton Hogan was a key member of the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team, Miller said, and the company's land development business in Christchurch had prepared and sold 200 lots.
"Demand post-earthquake for residential sections in the west of Christchurch remains high as the population transitions out of the red zone. Millwater in Auckland continues to be in strong demand with over 200 lots developed and sold in the year.
"This demand is expected to continue on the back of population growth, low interest rates and rental demand exceeding supply," Miller said.

The dogs and handler in Bon's "set 2" of pictures shows what appears to me to be a handler and two different dogs who are accustomed-to and comfortable with that configuration. As such, it probably works for them.
I personally feel glad that my dog is comfortable with my knee at his shoulder and is not sneaking a step or two ahead just to keep out in front of me. For me personally, it feels, as KJR mentioned, like very subtle movements - mostly with my outside leg, can have pretty dramatic impact on my dog's attention, alignment and focus - when we are dogshoulder-handlerknee aligned.
Earlier, someone mentioned the idea of getting the dog lined up, then "stepping back" once he's lined up. I remember doing this exact thing at a workshop. The guy who has won more trials than I ever will said "You had him lined up perfectly! Why did you then move back and pull him off???! " Actually, that very mark is my avatar picture.
Thanks to all of you for your feedback!

Pancreas divisum is a birth defect in which parts of the pancreas fail to join together. The pancreas is a long flat organ located between the stomach and spine that is involved in food digestion.
Pancreas divisum is the most common birth defect of the pancreas. In many cases this defect goes undetected and causes no problems. The cause of the defect is unknown.
As a baby develops in the womb, two separate pieces of tissue join together to form the pancreas. Each part has a tube, called a duct. When the parts join together, a final duct called the pancreatic duct is formed. Fluid and digestive chemicals (enzymes) produced by the pancreas normally flow through this duct.
If the ducts fail to join together while the baby is developing in the womb, pancreas divisum results. Fluid from the two parts of the pancreas drains into separate areas of the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). This occurs in 5 to 15% of people.
If a pancreatic duct becomes blocked, swelling and tissue damage (pancreatitis) may develop.
Note: Unless you have pancreatitis, you will not have symptoms.
If you have this condition and have symptoms or pancreatitis that keeps returning, your doctor may recommend surgery.
The outcome is usually good.
The main complication of pancreas divisum is pancreatitis.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disorder.
Because this condition is present at birth, there is no known way to prevent it.

New to the frog life!
So! I just got my own African Dwarf Frogs today! 2 males and 1 female!
I have had an African Clawed Frog when I was younger, (I'm only 19 now) but it was in my aunt's 100+ gal tank and she took most of the care!
I have a 15 gal tank with 6 Neon Tetra, 4 Danios, some Ghost shrimp and 3 ADF!
I am concerned about one thing though, my tank is a tall tank, I added a long piece of drift wood that reaches the top so they can swim using that, but I still see them going a bit up then floating down a bit, then a bit up, etc. then finally racing up and then back down. I'm scared they're gonna be too exhausted trying to breathe all the time. I was wondering if anyone had some type of underwater air pocket they built? Similar to the Crabitat things? And any advice otherwise would be great! Thanks!
My ADF is in a 20 gallon, and it is not too tall. It depends how tall the tank is itself. If your tank if you put your hand to the bottom does not come up past your mid top arm, you should be okay. It isn't unusual for ADF to swim up and down often, and only go mid way.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

Yeah my tank is definitely tall, it's around 2 ft tall, but I'm glad to hear it's not unusual for them to go half way up and then float down. Other than that they seem fine, I just feel bad, but if I took some sort of container and set an air pump under it, would they even find it? Or know to use it instead of the top surface?
Not likely, ADF are not the smartest things around. You would be better off getting the frogs their own low profile bookshelf tank.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but they seem to be OK! They all just kinda mosey up to the top and sit there and then just go down, I think it just took some getting use to! One of them even use the driftwood to go up, so I think they'll be fine! Now I wanna work on making sure they get food!
You have to take their food to them, either train them to eat from your hand or a dish or use a turkey baster to put food right in front of them. Mine are trained to go to a little dish where i put food in for them everyday. They dont need fed every single day, but i have 5 and they all are hungry on different days it seems, so i offer everyday.10gal Betta Tank - Skye the crowntail and Squiggles the deformed albino cory

Price caps, secondary markets, and the revolution in natural-gas portfolio management.
Bruce W. Radford is editor-in-chief for Public Utilities Fortnightly .
Price caps, secondary markets, and the revolution in natural-gas portfolio management.
When the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decided in February, in Order 890, to lift the price cap for electric-transmission customers seeking to resell their grid capacity rights in the secondary market, it cautioned against expecting a quid pro quo for gas:
"Our findings here address the particular circumstances associated with the electric-utility industry and are not intended to suggest that corresponding changes should be made to the rate for capacity release by customers of natural-gas transportation capacity.
"Any such changes," FERC wrote, would come "only after notice and comment based on a record applicable to the natural-gas industry." ( See Docket Nos. RM05-17, RM05-25, Feb. 16, 2007, 118 FERC ¶ 61,119 at para. 814, fn. 492 .)
But wait a minute. Was the commission just teasing?
In fact, FERC already had opened a rulemaking investigation to consider exactly that question—whether to lift the price cap for gas-pipeline capacity releases in the secondary market. And it had done so in January, a good six weeks prior to the release of Order 890. Moreover, this prior investigation, announced as a simple request for comments, has since shaped up as perhaps the most compelling and thought-provoking policy discussion to have hit the natural-gas industry in years.
In this prior case, FERC asked the gas industry for thoughts and ideas that call into question a whole host of key policies that heretofore have stood at the core of how natural-gas pipeline markets have played out over the past 15 years or so:
1. Price Caps. The ceiling on the price that shippers can receive for releasing their firm rights to gas-pipeline capacity into the secondary market for purchase by replacement shippers, which is set at the level of the pipeline's tariff rate, also known as the "recourse rate," or the "maximum lawful rate."
2. Posting and Bidding. Rules that have required releasing shippers to announce certain proposed release transactions on the pipeline company's Internet site, if the release is offered at less than the pipeline's tariff recourse rates, so that other potential buyers can have an opportunity to bid on purchasing the rights offered for reassignment.
3. Shipper Must Have Title. This concept, known sometimes as the SMHT rule, mandates that a customer that acquires pipeline capacity cannot use those rights to transport natural gas already owned by a third party.
4. Buy/Sell Transactions. The prohibition against such deals bars shippers from circumventing the SMHT rule and transporting gas for a third party by simply purchasing title to gas at the top of the transaction, and then selling it back at the end.
5. Tying Arrangements. Such deals also are proscribed. Thus, FERC policy has made it unlawful for those who are selling off capacity rights on a given pipeline from making the deal conditional upon a linked release or transfer of some other right, such as rights to gas supply, or rights to capacity on other pipelines.

So I saw that movie, "Indie Game: The Movie" last night, and I really couldn't get that emotional over it. I mean, I am not as in to games as these people were in this movie. And I am wondering if it takes that type of desperation to want to keep a job in this industry.
Dude said if he does not release this game, he will kill himself. Uh....
I mean, there are so many developers who are not as successful, do they actually end up killing themselves?
Other guy, after they had succeeded greatly said, "I am starting to think it was worth it."
If anything it makes me be more considerate of how I respond to another person's work, because I don't know all the labor that was put into it. But there is no way I can play all of the indie games out there enough to get sentimental about each and every one.
Everyone has a story to tell, and each person is unique, but there are millions of peoples with stories to tell, and I am sure each one is unique. What makes one stand out over another?
This is an important topic, for beginners and experienced devs alike.
Anyone have/had similar experiences in the indie game development world?

Nasdaq (NDAQ) is supposedly about to reopen trading after a technology glitch shuttered the market for several hours.
Traders are anxious because they have no idea what to expect. Many have spent the outage hours marveling as futures on the Standard & Poors' 500 Index have traded higher. That might not seem like a big deal but the index's value is based on Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), Cisco (CSCO), Microsoft (MSFT) and other big Nasdaq stocks that have not traded since about noon today. Without those inputs, traders and strategists say the index and futures should be flat, or negative.
It is a sad commentary on the world's largest financial market that it can suffer a "Flash Freeze" because of server problems at one exchange. That the exchange has been shuttered for so long raises serious questions about the stability of the market that the Securities and Exchange Commission must address – and will probably ignore.
If SEC lets this latest technology glitch pass with little more than a targeted review of Nasdaq's problems, investors should be very concerned. If SEC sidesteps the difficult questions it will firm an idea floating around trading desks and exchanges that the modern market is so big, and so technologically complicated that it defies comprehension – even by the very people charged with regulating the market.

Conference explores issue of women in theater
Posted September 10, 2009; 10:50 p.m.
Leading female scholars, artists and theater professionals will examine questions about the exclusion of women from positions of power and visibility in the American theater industry in a conference set for 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
"Women in Theater: Issues for the 21st Century" will explore concerns such as research indicating that plays by women are less frequently produced now than they were at the turn of the 20th century as well as the fact that more women have won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in recent years but few women have won Tony Awards for playwrighting and directing.
Jill Dolan, professor of English and theater in the Lewis Center for the Arts, organized the conference along with Stacy Wolf, associate professor of theater; Tamsen Wolff, associate professor of English; and Mara Isaacs, producing director of the McCarter Theatre Center.
"The panelists differ from one another by generation, race, class, professional background and experience, as well as the political and ideological perspectives they bring to bear on their work," Dolan said. "What unites them/us may well be one of the more interesting questions to be discussed during the conference."
The conference is timed to honor Emily Mann as she celebrates her 20th anniversary as artistic director of the McCarter Theatre Center.
The event is sponsored by the Lewis Center, the Gardner Fund of the Council of the Humanities, the Program in American Studies, the Department of English, the Program in the Study of Women and Gender, the Center for African American Studies and the Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies.
Registration is closed, but a wait line will be available at the start of the event.

Now Lib Dem run Newcastle upon Tyne are rolling out a programme of 20mph zones that will, over three years, result in a blanket 20mph speed limit for all non-trunk road streets. Given the experience in this Sustainable Travel and Cycling Demo Town of ours, you would imagine the Labour opposition in Newcastle would be crying "impractical"?
Far from it. The Lib Dem council has been criticised by Labour for being too slow off the mark. In fact, the Labour Group called for such a scheme in April 2006. Labour leader Coun Nick Forbes said:
This is exactly what we called for two years ago. The Lib Dems would have saved a lot of time and money by accepting our proposals at the time. I'm delighted they've finally seen sense.
Answers on a postcard, please, as to why Sustainable Travel Town status gives us more backward policies than towns and cities without.

Family: Strigidae, Owls view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mostly brown plumage overall, beautifully patterned on upperparts and resembling tree bark; underparts are strongly barred. Head has rounded, orange-brown facial disc and yellow eyes. JUVENILE Has fluffy down at first, but by fall acquires adultlike plumage.
Dimensions Length: 25" (64 cm); Wngspn: 4' 7" (1.4 m)
Habitat Common but strongly territorial, hence thinly spread. Tolerates a wide range of habitats from forests in north of range to deserts in south. Sometimes also in surprisingly urban settings.
Observation Tips Nests extremely early in season (eggs typically laid Jan-Mar depending on geographical location), so incubating birds are sometimes obvious in leafless winter trees. Otherwise, occasionally glimpsed in car headlights while hunting after dark, or located by tracking small birds mobbing a roosting bird in daytime.
Range Eastern Canada, Southeast, Rocky Mountains, California, Alaska, Western Canada, Florida, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Plains, Northwest, Great Lakes, New England
Voice Territorial "song" (heard in midwinter) comprises a series of tremulous hoots; male's hoot is deeper than female's.
Discussion Huge and impressive owl with a bulky body, proportionately large head, and striking "ear" tufts that may be raised or flattened. Active mainly at dusk and after dark, has a broad diet, but prefers tackling prey the size of rabbits and hares. Typically scans for prey from lookout perch, then glides down on broad wings, grabbing and killing victim with powerful talons. Several subspecies exist: palest of all is ssp. subarcticus, which occurs across Arctic and sub-Arctic North America, but birds in most of range covered by this book, and described here, are a darker, richer brown. Given this variation, sexes are similar, although female is larger than male.
