10.10: Population Size
How many penguins are the right number for this beach?
As many as can survive and have healthy offspring! A population will tend to grow as big as it can for the resources it needs. Once it is too large, some of its members will die off. This keeps the population size at the right number.
Biotic and abiotic factors determine the population size of a species in an ecosystem. What are some important biotic factors? Biotic factors include the amount of food that is available to that species and the number of organisms that also use that food source. What are some important abiotic factors? Space, water, and climate all help determine a species population.
When does a population grow? A population grows when the number of births is greater than the number of deaths. When does a population shrink? When deaths exceed births.
What causes a population to grow? For a population to grow there must be ample resources and no major problems. What causes a population to shrink? A population can shrink either because of biotic or abiotic limits. An increase in predators, the emergence of a new disease, or the loss of habitat are just three possible problems that will decrease a population. A population may also shrink if it grows too large for the resources required to support it.
Carrying Capacity
When the number of births equals the number of deaths, the population is at its carrying capacity for that habitat. In a population at its carrying capacity, there are as many organisms of that species as the habitat can support. The carrying capacity depends on biotic and abiotic factors. If these factors improve, the carrying capacity increases. If the factors become less plentiful, the carrying capacity drops. If resources are being used faster than they are being replenished, then the species has exceeded its carrying capacity. If this occurs, the population will then decrease in size.
Limiting Factors
Every stable population has one or more factors that limit its growth. A limiting factor determines the carrying capacity for a species. A limiting factor can be any biotic or abiotic factor: nutrient, space, and water availability are examples (Figure below). The size of a population is tied to its limiting factor.
In a desert such as this, what is the limiting factor on plant populations? What would make the population increase? What would make the population decrease?
What happens if a limiting factor increases a lot? Is it still a limiting factor? If a limiting factor increases a lot, another factor will most likely become the new limiting factor.
This may be a bit confusing, so let's look at an example of limiting factors. Say you want to make as many chocolate chip cookies as you can with the ingredients you have on hand. It turns out that you have plenty of flour and other ingredients, but only two eggs. You can make only one batch of cookies, because eggs are the limiting factor. But then your neighbor comes over with a dozen eggs. Now you have enough eggs for seven batches of cookies, but only two pounds of butter. You can make four batches of cookies, with butter as the limiting factor. If you get more butter, some other ingredient will be limiting.
Species ordinarily produce more offspring than their habitat can support (Figure below). If conditions improve, more young survive and the population grows. If conditions worsen, or if too many young are born, there is competition between individuals. As in any competition, there are some winners and some losers. Those individuals that survive to fill the available spots in the niche are those that are the most fit for their habitat.
A frog in frog spawn. An animal produces many more offspring than will survive.
- Biotic factors that a population needs include food availability. Abiotic factors may include space, water, and climate.
- The carrying capacity of an environment is reached when the number of births equal the number of deaths.
- A limiting factor determines the carrying capacity for a species.

Did you ever see a globe like this one? Magnets in the globe and its stand repel each other, allowing the globe to hover in midair. The globe is a good model for Earth the magnet.
Earth the Magnet
Like the real Earth, the globe pictured above is a magnet. A magnet is an object that has north and south magnetic poles and a magnetic field. The magnetic globe is a modern device, but the idea that Earth is a magnet is far from new. It was first proposed in 1600 by a British physician named William Gilbert. He used a spherical magnet to represent Earth. With a compass, he demonstrated that it the spherical magnet causes a compass needle to behave the same way that Earth causes a compass needle to behave. This showed that a spherical magnet is a good model for Earth and therefore that Earth is a magnet.
Q: Can you describe Earth's magnetic poles and magnetic field?
A: Earth has north and south magnetic poles. The North Pole is located at about 80 degrees north latitude. The magnetic field is an area around Earth that is affected by its magnetic field. The field is strongest at the poles, and lines of magnetic force move from the north to the south magnetic pole.
Spinning Like a Top
Although the idea that Earth is a magnet is centuries old, the discovery of why Earth is a magnet is a relatively new. In the early 1900s, scientists started using seismographic data to learn about Earth's inner structure. A seismograph detects and measure earthquake waves. Evidence from earthquakes showed that Earth has a solid inner core and a liquid outer core (see the Figure below). The outer core consists of molten metals, mainly iron and nickel. Scientists think that Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of charged particles through these molten metals in the outer core. The particles move as Earth spins on its axis.
- In the 1600s, William Gilbert demonstrated that Earth is basically a spherical magnet, with north and south poles and a magnetic field.
- In the 1900s, scientists used earthquake data to determine that Earth has a solid inner core and molten outer core. Scientists think that Earth is a magnet because of charged particles moving through the molten outer core as Earth spins on its axis.
- How did Gilbert show that Earth is a magnet?
- Which would be a better model of Earth's inner structure: a peach or an orange? Explain your answer?
- Explain why Earth generates a magnetic field.

Stein and Lieb honored by mathematical society
Posted January 9, 2002; 10:57 a.m.
Two Princeton faculty members have been honored by the American Mathematical Society.
Elias Stein , the Albert Baldwin Dod Professor of Mathematics, has received the 2002 Leroy Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement. It recognizes Stein's "fundamental contributions to various aspects of analysis, including the theory of singular integrals, commutative and noncommutative harmonic analysis and analysis of functions of several complex variables."
According to the society, Stein has contributed both through his own research and through working with and influencing many students, "who have gone on to make profound contributions of their own."
Elliott Lieb , the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, has been awarded the society's 2002 Levi Conant Prize along with Jakob Yngvason of the University of Vienna. The prize is awarded for "an outstanding expository paper in the Notices of the AMS or the Bulletin of the AMS in the last five years." The two were honored for their co-written paper, "A Guide to Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics," which appeared in the Notices of the AMS in 1998.
The awards were presented at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego on Jan. 7.

Holocaust is topic of speech, April 18
Posted April 11, 2001; 04:19 p.m.
Deborah Lipstadt will speak on "Denying the Holocaust: Perspectives from a British Courtroom" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Lipstadt, the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University, is the author of "Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory," the first full-length study of the phenomenon of Holocaust denial. As a result of that book, she was sued for libel in Britain by David Irving, a right wing extremist and self-proclaimed Hilter enthusiast. The trial, in which Lipstadt was vindicated after five years of litigation, was described by the Daily Telegraph as having "done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations."
Lipstadt, who was appointed by President Clinton to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, also has written "Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust." Her talk is the 23rd Carolyn Drucker '80 Memorial Lecture and is under the auspices of the Department of Near Eastern Studies. It is co-sponsored by the Program in Jewish Studies and the Center for Jewish Life.

Inside The Funeral Of Jack Pinto, Sandy Hook Victim
One of the first Sandy Hook victims to be laid to rest, Jack's short life was honored on Dec. 17 in Newtown, CT. So sad.
As Newtown, CT., and the country as a whole, continues to process the horror of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre that took place on Friday, Dec. 14, leaving 20 children and six adults dead, one of the first victims has been laid to rest. Jack Pinto, who was just six years old when he tragically lost his life, was buried in Newtown on Dec. 17.
The youngster, who was a huge sports fan, was buried in the jersey of Victor Cruz, his favorite New York Giants player. It's been reported that the funeral home wasn't large enough to accomodate the number of families who turned up hoping to pay their respects to little Jack, with many having to stand out in the cold and rain while waiting to honor the young boy.
We continue to keep all the victims lost, their families, and the community of Newtown in our thoughts and prayers during this tragic time of loss.
— Billy Nilles

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Creating a lighter, healthier you is a multi-step process. One of the most important steps, and the main focus of this section, is exercise. Here we explore everything from the benefits of exercise to how much and how often it is necessary to promote weight loss.
When it comes to exercise and weight loss, exercise is not nearly as important as a change in diet and patterns of eating. While exercise does burn calories, most people will not see significant weight loss if they do not change their eating habits. In many cases, people will start exercising and then feel that they can have earned the ability to eat more as a reward. As a result, they often eat more calories than they burned during their workout. When I see a new patient who is not eating right nor exercising, I encourage them to start first with a diet adjustment. The process often takes planning and getting used to, especially since many people are not used to eating only three meals and two snacks per day. Once they are comfortable with the meal plan, I recommend that exercise be added. The simple fact is that exercise is very important for the long term maintenance of weight loss.
If you are currently exercising, and have found a routine that works well with your life, my recommendation is to continue your routine as you begin dieting. The protein and calories provided by BistroMD meals are adequate for most people, unless you are engaging in very heavy exercise, such as spinning for more than one hour, outdoor cycling for more than two hours, or long distance running. With this kind of exercise, the addition of some quality protein and carbohydrate-containing snacks -- like nonfat Greek yogurt, reduced fat cheese, or fruit -- should be added.
Adding exercise will likely speed up your rate of weight loss; however, it is important to ensure that all meals and snacks are eaten to avoid the loss of lean muscle tissue.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

While Americans have argued for years over whether or not multi-national banks require more government intervention, little time in mass media has been utilized to argue for the small businesses that make up the vast majority of our economy. Despite small businesses representing 99.7% of all private-sector employers, many continue to face government regulations that limit their ability to achieve healthy, sustainable growth. In order to allow for small businesses and start-up companies to build lasting momentum in our troubled economy, US legislators must be willing to create policies that support small business creation and management.

As a result of President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney's performances during the nationally televised presidential debate Oct. 3, Week 2 of the Colonial Café & Ice Cream straw polls in the Fox Valley show a considerable "debate bump" across this traditionally Republican area.
The national Gallup polls on Oct. 8 showed a neck-and-neck battle of 47 percent to 47 percent, recognizing Romney's gain on the president's pre-debate lead. Locally, the Colonial Café composite shows the post-debate "bump" in Romney's favor with 51 percent to Obama's 41 percent.
Here are the current standings by community across the Fox Valley area through the weekend:
• St. Charles-West – Obama is in the lead with 51 percent to Romney's 41 percent with 7 percent undecided.
• St. Charles-East – Romney is in the lead with 70 percent to Obama's 25 percent with 5 percent undecided.
• Aurora – Romney is in the lead with 59 percent to Obama's 37 percent with 5 percent undecided.
• Elgin – Obama and Romney are neck and neck at 48 percent with 4 percent undecided.
• Naperville – Obama and Romney are neck and neck at 48 percent with 3 percent undecided.
• Crystal Lake – Romney is in the lead with 50 percent to Obama's 36 percent with 13 percent undecided.
• Algonquin – Obama is in the lead with 63 percent to Romney's 30 percent with 7 percent undecided.
Colonial Cafe's first week of straw polling ended Sept. 30, and current polling ended Oct. 7. From week to week, the number of undecided voters reduced by half to 8.15 percent down from 15.9 percent.
For the last 48 years Colonial Café & Ice Cream has conducted its Presidential Sundaes Election Straw Poll.
Voting in this year's poll began Sept. 24 at all seven Colonial Café locations. The data above is for the week ending Oct. 7. Colonial Café encourages customers who order ice cream to cast a vote.
Tallies are reported weekly through Election Day – Tuesday, Nov. 6 – for voting at each café and for the company as a whole, reflecting the views of the communities and the Fox Valley.
Weekly reports compare local voting to national polls and cite variations in Democratic and Republican leanings.

Well intentioned stupidity is still stupidity, no matter how you dress it up.
Even if you mean well, this is a stupid idea and all the good intentions and will wishing can't fix those flaws. You've made it clear that you have no intention of addressing the flaws but would rather gloss over them. You are expecting to throw an EXPENSIVE con, put it in an expensive venue, to sell out (Effectively pre-reg) 2,488 people for a first year convention, at a total income of over $400 000 to pay for the event. The attendance costs of going to this con are WELL over what the average person will spend going to a regular con.
Floatacon is not happening. Flat out.
I'm going to have to agree with DJ_Izumi
I would have to say a good 60% of the anime fan base are between 13-21 years of age. That means you are losing at least 50% of your potential attendees because they can't afford a cruise. Most can't afford a hotel room at the con. This Idea sunk the moment it was thought up.

Pakistan: Earthquake survivors receive aid
Thousands of people affected by an earthquake that struck the border region of Pakistan and Iran last month have received vital aid from the government, UN agencies and humanitarian partners.
The magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit south-east Iran on 16 April. An estimated 30,000 people in Paksitan were affected, with communities in the area of Mashkel, on the eastern edge of Balochistan particularly hard hit.
According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority in Balochistan, 2,250 houses and shops were damaged with 1,500 homes destroyed. In the worst hit parts of Mashkel, 85 per cent of families were affected. Half of them lost their homes.
Muhammad Omer, 70, lost his two-roomed mud-brick home. Omer, who has six daughters, has been blind for 20 years.
"I was a mason and I could earn my living with respect and dignity. But now I have no other source of income and I have to depend on the help of the community and my two daughters who work in the fields," he said.
Omer's family was left homeless and in the days following the earthquake, was forced to live in the open. Soon international NGO Islamic Relief arrived in Mashkel and provided Omer and other affected families with a family-sized tent for shelter, kitchen kits and household items.
"It was quite difficult for me to build back my home, especially because of my small income," Omer continued. "In this time of difficulty, I am very happy to have received some household items and a tent in which to live."
Government leads response with UN support
Following the earthquake, government authorities took the lead in assessing the situation and identifying and responding to immediate needs. They were supported by UN agencies, international NGOs and local humanitarian partners.
The Government provided 4,000 tents, 2,250 food packages and assorted food and non-food items, while military doctors provided medical assistance. Islamic Relief provided immediate relief assistance to 530 families (more than 3,200 individuals) in Mashkel.
OCHA coordinated the response of UN and local agencies, holding regular meetings that facilitated the sharing of information, ensuring close collaboration with local district and provincial authorities in Balochistan.
"Despite the fact that the impact of the earthquake was relatively small, the close coordination between partners was critical," said Lynn Hastings, the Head of OCHA in Pakistan.
"The areas worst-affected are difficult to reach because of poor road conditions, tough, mountainous terrain and security concerns."

Good services.
Would recommend waited whilst brakes done very efficient will use again. Price as quoted.
Service and price was good, just a couple of pointers to improve. Waiting area was cold and no facilities to get a drink yourself, did ask and tea was forth coming (good cuppa). Had to wait for parts to arrive (would have preferred to have been told parts only ordered when car in garage), would have offered to pay for parts up-front to reduce time delay, otherwise was a good value service.
Very good garage, cost 145 for labouring for changing both drive belt and timing belt. Would come there again
Great service the price quoted was the price paid friendly quick service
I only got my front brake pads replaced, after Andy checked that the discs did not need changing. Great service, reasonable price, job did not take long and Andy was professional and friendly. Definitely recommend and will return for other work.
Great. My problem was sorted within minutes. It is good to go somewhere and not be ripped off. I would definitely go back again
Great service, done job quickly
He was very professional person and he advised me about all problems I had with the car.
Andy was very friendly and professional, the work he did was to a high standard and very pleased with the result, will definitely be using Andy again
Excellent service throughout.. Very reasonable quote (1/3 of the price quoted by the garage which failed the MOT) and a quality job. Advised of additional work needed and evidenced it, carried it out with minimal increase to original quote. Made an error in costing (in my favour) and honoured it despite my insistence I'd happily pay. I can't fault the guys at M8, they're honest and reliable and take pride in carrying out a top job.
Spot on, quick appointment, very reasonable price, great service, really can't fault them at all! Thank you, iv found my new garage!
Good Guy, Very fair and helpful...thanks David
Thanks for the efficient and effective way that you treated my repair and maintenance of my car both by your mechanics and by your excellent and generous price quote.
great and friendly service, very happy to use them again. would recommend them to anyone. a big thank you to M8 Gear House. full service and mot done for me.
Diagnostic test was completed and engine management light went off. Was a minor fault, but they did say bring it back if the light comes back on free of charge. The light has come back on and I will return at the weekend so it can be checked again.
All fine, no problems, would recommend
Had my clutch finally give up just after Christmas so looked around for a good price ....also needed a new alternator belt....Booked in first day back after new year, they identified a couple of issues but didnt feel like I was been bounced into getting work done that could wait . Got the additional bits fixed that needed fixing at a reasonable price ....Was concerned about going to a garage I've never been to before (small 2 man operation) but can honestly say if asked to recommend a garage they will be at the top of my list.
Quick and excellent service will definitely use again and highly recommended
Very good I will recommend this garage
They diagnosed the problem for my window and told me a new regulator would fix the problem which it did as i bought one and worked perfectly fine. I also asked if they could fit my rear brake hubs and shoes to which they told me straight away that they could do. All in all very friendly staff and great customer service.
The car was in for a winter check however a number of issues were found and I was contacted and advised which jobs were a priority; I am not mechanically minded however the explanation was given in terms I could easily understand I authorized certain jobs and was informed they could be done that afternoon. I cannot fault the work that was done; all parts that were changed were kept for my inspection. This garage is local to me and I will continue to use them in the future. They are friendly and knowledgeable and give excellent advice. Totally recommend them.
Great service- I am really happy - and a good price. Kelly's delightful and so helpful. And friendly!
Made to feel very welcome on arrival; advised of length of time job would take and contacted as soon as vehicle was ready for collection. Would recommend to friends and family.
Used this garage to do all four brake pads and rear disks. Well priced and work carried out to a high standard. Would Deffo used again.
I cannot say enough good things about this garage. They are professional, clear, concise and fair. Best garage I have ever used.
Great quality brakes great price
Quality service, amazing facilities, all round top notch, will definitely use them again
Great customer service! Higly recommended!
The staff are very friendly there has a good vibe about the place and staff ran me through everything that had been done the only thing i would change is the qouting Was originally qouted £240 but once i had dropped the car off and left i recived a phone call to say it would now cost me £370 to do the job but the work has been carried out to a high standard and am very pleased

Jimmy "the fishman" Johnson is a self-described beach bum. But, the former restaurant owner is anything but lazy. Johnson used to sell 3,000 surf-and-turf dinners a week, at his restaurant in Wildwood, N.J.
"In season, there were lines every day of the week, droves of people," Johnson says. "We fed them all day and all night long. They never stopped coming."
The Pennsylvania native moved to New Jersey after high school, where he opened his first restaurant, The Shack. The restaurant was open 24 hours and sold sandwiches and omelets.
After a fire burned down the pier on which the restaurant was located, Johnson rented another restaurant that sat 140 people and named it The Lobster Shack. He offered a surf-and-turf special for $8.95, earning him the nickname "The King of Surf and Turf."
A fire also struck new the restaurant in 1982, and Johnson, now the owner of the building, decided to rebuild it himself. In 1985, he changed the name of the restaurant to Jimmy the Fishman's Lobster Shack, a nickname that has stuck with him to this day.
After the season was done, Johnson closed the restaurant and visited Siesta Key; in 2009, he moved permanently to the Key.
"I still had the hair on my head and (my) health, I figured it was time to get out and leave on the up," says Johnson.
Although Johnson retired at 55, he never stopped working. Today, Johnson lives on Beach Road, just steps from the beach, and can be found helping customers at Siesta Key Hardware, walking the beach or riding his bike. He is still known by fellow key residents as "Jimmy the fishman."
"I don't own a shirt with a collar; I don't own a tie. I have become a total beach bum," Johnson says. "I just want to go where the weather suits my clothes."

Marshall Summar, MD, our Chief of Genetics, brings childhood rare diseases into the national and international spotlight.
With more than 8,500 visits annually and 12 physicians, Children's National Health System is now the largest clinical genetics program in the United States.
Our division coordinates the multidisciplinary care of children with genetic and metabolic disorders or complex birth defects, within the division and in collaboration with primary care physicians and specialists from other divisions at Children's National. Additionally, every geneticist at Children's National works in concert with a genetic counselor to manage both the clinical and practical aspects of treatment and nearly every clinician is involved in research.
The division's team of world-renowned medical experts, biochemical nutritionists, and genetic counselors care for your child's physical needs, while our social workers, child-life specialists, and pastoral-care staff offer care for your child's and your family's emotional, spiritual, and mental health.
Children's National is nationally acknowledged as a leader in treating metabolic diseases and internationally recognized for urea cycle disorder and lysosomal storage disease treatment. The well-rounded nature of the clinical team also makes Children's National a noted destination for treatment of some of the rarest genetic disorders, including N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency, vitamin B12 methylation deficiency, and organic acidemia disorders.
What sets genetic counseling at Children's apart is our commitment to providing compassionate support for the entire family. We provide genetic counseling services for families with a known genetic disorder and recurrence risk counseling for parents of a child with an inherited condition.
Our genetic counselors provide information on family planning options, explain the testing options available to you, and help coordinate referrals for related specialists at Children's National. We see patients through self-referral or with referral from a primary care physician or another subspecialty clinic within Children's National.
We also offer carrier screenings for ethnic groups with a higher risk of inherited disorders, including those of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, Mediterranean descent, African American ancestry, and Northern Europeans.
Children's National also provides educational outreach to community physicians, schools, and families through lectures, seminars, and parent support groups.
You will be seen by both a geneticist and a genetic counselor, both of whom will submit a bill to your insurance provider. If you have health insurance that requires a referral and/or authorization for Geneticist or Genetic Counseling services, please have the referral faxed to our clinic at 202-476-2390.

David Levering-Lewis
Professor of History
Field of Study:
Research Interests:
Political Biography; Literature of Racism; Europe in Africa and Africa in Europe; World Civilization
David Levering Lewis's work can best be characterized as comparative history. Beginning his career as a specialist in the Third Republic of France, his Prisoners of Honor: The Dreyfus Affair (1974, UK. 1975) retold that familiar story with new material from French military archives. By then, however, a casual publishing house contact had drawn him into American civil rights history and the writing of King: A Critical Biography (1970, rev. ed. 1978), a biography still in print that remains a staple. Mindful that the civil rights movement of the 1960s was the fruition of antecedent initiatives that were being ignored in the presentism of the times, Lewis produced a monograph on the cultural politics of race relations in the 1920s and early 30s called When Harlem Was in Vogue (1980, rev. ed. 1994), its apt subtitle should have been "Civil Rights by Copyright." In 1994, The Portable Harlem Renaissance Reader was published by Penguin, an edition containing a much reproduced introduction. But Lewis's Third Republic interests had drawn him back to a topic spun off in large part from his Dreyfus researches, but also informed by an interest in Africa after a stint as lecturer at the University of Ghana. The Race to Fashoda: European Colonialism and African Resistance in the Scramble for Africa (1988, UK 1989. rev. ed. 1994) was an ambitious study of the Sudanese, Ethiopian, and Central African attempts to retard European penetration of the Continent. Lewis's multiple interests--biography, civil rights, Europe and empire, cultural politics--- seemed to converge in a special synergy. In 1985, he embarked on what became a two-volume life and times of the American intellectual and radical, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois. The first Du Bois volume, published in 1993 as W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919, won the Bancroft, Parkman, and Pulitzer. Volume two, W.E.B. Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963 (2000), was a finalist for the National Book Awards and also won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. An edition of Du Bois writings appeared from Henry Holt in 1994: W.E.B. Du Bois A Reader. The shock of 9/11 inspired Lewis's ambitious interpretation of the first interface of Islam and Christendom, God's Crucible: Islam and the Making of Europe, 570-1215, published by Norton (2008) and translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Croatian.

STARKVILLE – Dan Mullen tried to shoulder the blame for Mississippi State's 38-13 loss to Texas A&M. But Johnthan Banks wasn't going to let him.
Mullen, MSU's fourthyear coach, said the loss was "100 percent" his fault, and added that he didn't have them ready to take on the Aggies and their dynamic quarterback, Johnny Manziel.
"In every aspect of it I did not have them ready to go, and I'll make sure we do a much better job of that this week," Mullen said.
"It's my fault, too," said Banks, a senior cornerback. "He made me a captain of this team, and it's my job to help him get our team ready and have us prepared and ready to play."
It's the second consecutive disappointing outing for State, which lost 38-7 to No. 1 Alabama the week before. In both games, MSU fell behind 21-0 early in the game and was still scoreless by halftime.
"Coach Mullen had stressed to us the whole week it was a big game for us," tailback LaDarius Perkins said. "Everybody knew it was a big game. But like I said, it came down to execution."
Tackling was an issue.
"Really, everything we saw on film was exactly what we expected," linebacker Cam Lawrence said. "We had guys in the right place, we just have to wrap up, make the tackle."
Quarterback Tyler Russell was sacked just once but took several hits, and Texas A&M's defensive line harassed him all game. That made it tough for Russell to make his reads, especially on third downs.
MSU was just 2 of 10 on third downs. Russell was 19 of 30 for 212 yards, a TD and an interception.
"We had a good game plan, we had a really good week of practice," Russell said. "And it just comes down to execution, we didn't execute when we needed to execute."
Russell's 14-yard touchdown pass to Chad Bumphis in the third quarter was his 16th of the season, tying the school's single season record set by Derrick Taite in 1995.
"It means nothing right now,"
Russell said. "I'd have felt better if we win the game."
Texas A&M set the tone from its first possession, rapidly marching 73 yards in 10 plays and using only 2:41 off the clock. Ben Malena scored on a 1-yard run for a 7-0 lead.
97 – Texas A&M ran 97 plays, while MSU ran just 57.
"We'll bounce back. We've got to." – MSU cornerback Johnthan Banks
MSU heads to Baton Rouge to take on No. 5 LSU. The Bulldogs haven't won there since 1991.
A&M coach Kevin Sumlin is 5-3 against top-25 teams, 2-2 this year. … Redshirt freshman linebacker Benardrick McKinney had a team-high 14 tackles, Lawrence had 13 and Nickoe Whitley 12. … Arceto Clark's five catches tied a career high.
… MSU blocked a field goal at the end of the first half.

Salvadoran Pupusas with Cabbage Salad
Tasty Stuffed Tortillas from El SalvadorA staple of Salvadoran cuisine, pupusas are handmade, stuffed corn tortillas. Savory, flavor-packed pupusas Salvadoreńas are traditionally filled with beans, cheese, and pork. This pupusas recipe is especially easy, made with GOYA® Masarica Instant Corn Masa Flour, and stuffed with a choice of GOYA® Refried Red Beans (Volteados Style) and white cheese. Pupusas are served with a tangy pickled cabbage salad.;
Origin: El Salvador
Serves 8
Prep time: less than 5 min.
Total time: 30 min.
For the Pupusas:
2 cups GOYA® Masarica Instant Corn Masa Flour
1 tsp. GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning without Pepper
3 cups hot water
For the filling:
1 can (16 oz.) GOYA® Refried Red Beans (Volteados Style)
1 package (8 oz.) white cheese or other salty mild, shredded cheese
For the Cabbage Salad:
|In bowl, combine Masarica, Adobo and 2 cups of water. Mix until water is absorbed. Using hands, knead Masarica mixture, adding remaining water a little at a time, until moist dough is formed. You may not need all the water.
|Using hands, roll 3 tablespoons dough into ball. Flatten into disk that measures 5" round and 1/8" thick; repeat with remaining dough to form 16 disks, cover dough and disks with damp towel as you work. Spread 1 tablespoon refried beans or cheese evenly over one round . Season with Adobo. Cover with another round; crimp the bottom edge over the top to seal. As a variation, you can combine both beans and cheese in same pupusa. Repeat using remaining dough, beans and cheese until 8 pupusas are formed.

Christening records of other children born to Carl and Elizabeth show her maiden name as Meschede.
I found no other Mesches or Meschede in the Herzfeld records. However, I did find a town named Meschede located about 30 miles south of Herzfeld. That may or may not be relevant; to date, I haven't looked into it any further.

Yes, I know that this review is late, very late, but I just wanted to discuss my thoughts of the game with you.
First off I give the controls a rating of 9.
-I love the controls of this game, I like the way that you can use the analog to control your ship. Another thing that is cool with the analog controls is that you can use one analog to turn your ship in spins, and the other analog to move your ship up, down, and from side to side. a feature of this control sytem is the zoom on your star fighter, it is very nice that you can zoom in on your enemies like a sniper, so you can get a nice good shot at them.
Game Play-8
Gameplay on this game is also good. I love that you get to exchange characters every few missions, but the exchange of your characters goes alone with the story. For example, the character you are currently playing with becomes captured by a pirate, so now you are the pirate. This feature gives you more expansion to the Star Wars Universe through gameplay.
Graphics are excellent. They are rich in color and smooth. The little scenes between missions have wonderful graphics, also. The main reason I give graphics an 8 is because I disliek the fact that everythign looks to clean, and that when you shoot at something and no dents or marks go in the ship you have fired and hit upon.
Overal I give starfighter an A, great game!

City may enact fee for data requests
The Crosslake City Council will look into charging a fee for data requests that take longer than 15 minutes.
On Monday, Aug. 12, the council updated the city's current policy and heard that its consulting city administrator, Dan Vogt, will bring the council a draft of fees for the service.
Currently, the city does not charge for data requests.
Vogt noted that the fee policy he presented would include no charge for the first 15 minutes of the data request, and that the first 10 pages of copies would be free. After that, he proposed that the city charge the hourly rate for the staff member completing the request. The 11th page of copies would cost 25 cents and after that copies would be 10 cents a page.
He proposed no charge for city council meeting minutes.
Vogt has said at past meetings that certain data requests are taking long periods of time for staff to complete, which prompted the potential new policy.
Vogt recommended providing individuals who request data with a one-page flyer explaining the city's fee schedule, if the council adopts one. The matter will come before the council at a future meeting.
The council did not adopt a new fee policy Aug. 12, but updated its current policy by naming the responsible authorities for data requests, as the parties listed no longer worked for the city.

Android phones NEED 1GB just to function properly with the resource hog OS and bloated UI skins the manufacturers load on.
I don't mind 512mb. I have ~200 or more free at any given time. I disabled native backgrounding and pick and choose apps I want backgrounded with backgrounder.
No word as to the potential presence of a Sirii dedicated chip? I think it would be surprising but I guess it's still possible. If it's not the case, I sure hope the great brains in our community will be able to bring it to at least the iPhone 4
Why killing apps on iOS is pointless
Great article people should read before complaining about needing more RAM on iOS.
I'm with you, guessing we will have to wait until at least tomorrow when more of these are delivered. Has anyone heard if the face-backplate parts attach the same way? I know a bunch of people on here are waiting to see if current COLORED Conversion Kits will work and if so what effect will the new camera have if any?
I know all of our iPhone's currently have conversion kits and of course I want to update the 4S as soon as possible...
Via @Chpwn Twitter:
@jorgecarbajal_ No, RAM always needs power, used or not. And the amount of power is so hilariously small I dont understand why anyone cares.
(Also, the idea of "used memory needs more power/battery/CPU than free memory" just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how RAM works.)
Makes sense. Just never thought of it that way. I was thinking along the lines of "cells" of RAM were active at times. Thanks for the info!
I just got done taking mine apart. A little scary, considering the fact that the phone does not exist untill tomorrow, but...First 2 screws come out as usual. The back plate is a little differient, and feels cheaply made. It comes off kind of hard, and you need to pry a little, one side, then the other. The battery connector is held in place with 2 screws, and the upper screw holds an EMEI sheild from the ringer assembly in place. The antennae cable from the ringer / buzzer assembly is really long, and snakes around and to the right of the battery connector. When you take the second screw out, be careful and watch where the small shield flies when you undo the battery clip. The vibrator is weaker. I see myself missing calls in silent mode. The camera looks cool, somehow sunken in the frame. Almost looks like something is missing. I got the factory unlocked model, and cannot seem to put it into DFU mode. Dunno. Maybe i am just too dumb or impatient. Maybe both. Screen replacement will be a pain, but doable. It took me about ten times on the 4 before it felt comfortable. We will see.

Anaheim, Calif., June 2, 2001 – Minimally invasive surgery can remove a cancerous kidney just as effectively as traditional open surgery while providing patients with equivalent long-term survival, a new study finds.
"Patients who had a kidney removed by laparoscopic, minimally invasive surgery had virtually the same five-year, cancer-free survival rate and recurrence rate as those who underwent open surgery," says senior investigator Ralph V. Clayman, M.D. "The overall effectiveness of the laparoscopic procedure is absolutely equal to that of the open procedure."
Clayman and colleagues will report the results today at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Anaheim, Calif. He is professor of urology and radiology and co-director of the Division of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
The traditional procedure for removing a kidney, called open radical nephrectomy, requires a large incision just below the ribs. Sometimes, the surgeon even has to remove a rib to extract the kidney. The minimally invasive procedure, called laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, involves several very small incisions that admit tools that are only 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide and a similarly sized telescope called a laparoscope, which is connected to a camera.
The surgeon, working off of the camera image displayed on a television screen, frees the kidney from attached blood vessels and places it into an impermeable pouch. The surgeon then passes the drawstrings of the pouch through one of the incisions. Once the neck of the sack has been delivered to the surface of the abdomen, the sack is carefully opened, and the cancerous kidney is fragmented into small pieces and removed. Using this technique, the authors have been able to remove kidneys bearing tumors that weigh as much as 2 pounds through a 1/2-inch incision.
Clayman pioneered the laparoscopic kidney removal procedure, performing it for the first time in 1990 with former Washington University colleague Louis Kavoussi, M.D., who now is at Johns Hopkins, and Nathaniel Soper, M.D., professor of surgery and co-director of the Division of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Washington University.
The current study pooled survival data from patients who had a kidney removed at either Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, the University of Saskatchewan in Canada or Komaki Shimin Hospital in Japan. Sixty-four of the patients who had undergone laparoscopy were compared with 69 contemporary patients who had been treated at the same three hospitals with open surgery for similar forms of renal cancer.
Five years later, 92 percent of the patients in the laparoscopy group were still alive. The survival rate for the patients who had open surgery was 91 percent. Many of the patients who had laparoscopic surgery have been followed longer than five years -- some as many as10 years -- without a relapse, similar to the cure rates for patients who had open surgery.
"But there's more to it than that," says Clayman. "The patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy lost less blood, left the hospital sooner and went back to work earlier than those who had open surgery. They also took 80 percent less pain medication. Every aspect of their recovery was favorably influenced by the laparoscopic approach."
Clayman believes it is too soon to recommend laparoscopy for all patients who must part with a cancerous kidney. There are too many variables, such as tumor size, involvement of the vena cava and the surgeon's experience that may influence a decision on whether to proceed with a laparoscopic nephrectomy. Clayman believes, however, that the minimally invasive approach is usually feasible in the hands of a well-trained laparoscopic surgeon.
"If I or someone in my family developed renal cell cancer and needed a radical nephrectomy, there is no doubt that, barring a very unusual circumstance, it would be removed laparoscopically," he said.
The full-time and volunteer faculty of Washington University School of Medicine are the physicians of Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's hospitals. The School of Medicine is one of the leading medical research, teaching and patient care institutions in the nation. Through its affiliations with Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's hospitals, the School of Medicine is linked to BJC HealthCare.

text: Thanks Julie - the last thing we want to do is breed undersized dogs. As it is they (GSPs) are getting too small in the field bred strains and can be too large in the show dogs. Trying to maintain the standard and not split the breed is difficult. The gene was only discovered in 2007 so guess it will be a while before modes of inheritance are discovered.

Bold looks walk the red carpet at Golden GlobesJanuary 13, 2014 12:35 AM
Hollywood's stars attended the Golden Globes in daring, classic and red-hot choices. Here's are three of the night's top trends.
Keeping it chic with capped sleeves
Capped sleeves cropped up a lot on the red carpet, adding coverage and class to celebs such as Elisabeth Moss in a black-and-oxblood beaded J. Mendel, Cate Blanchett in lace black Armani and a pregnant Drew Barrymore in a pink fantasy land of floral appliques by Monique Lhuillier. Zooey Deschanel was among those who wore it best. She paired a champagne-colored cropped top with a full asymmetrical skirt for an ultimate casual-meets-luxe look by Oscar de la Renta. (And don't forget her signature nail art!)
Radiant in red
And the red-hot hue of the night was ... red. Taylor Swift did it in cherry by Carolina Herrera, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus went fire-engine bright with a figure-flattering gown by Narciso Rodriguez.
The showstopper was "12 Years a Slave" actress Lupita Nyong'o, who looked radiant in a Ralph Lauren gown with cape. She kept the accessories simple (as did many stars) with a pair of stone stud earrings, living up to her spot on Vogue's list of rising style stars to watch.
Dresses with drama
Stars brought a healthy dose of drama to the red carpet with full silhouettes that demanded attention. Sofia Vergara stepped out in a black Zac Posen ball gown ("I feel like I'm carrying a tent," she said), while Lena Dunham had a yellow mermaid moment in another Posen design.
Jennifer Lawrence kept it classic with white Dior, complemented by her cute pixie cut. Kaley Cuoco Sweeting's Rani Zakhem gown with corset-style bodice was another eye-catcher for its sweet blush tones and rich-yet-subtle floral pattern.
Sara Bauknecht is the Post-Gazette fashion writer. For more photos from the red carpet, visit the Post-Gazette fashion blog Stylebook at www.post-gazette.com/stylebook.

I have asked 5 different docs about the same case, gotten five different answers. The issue is that these docs do not have the capability of coordinating treatment options and creating scientifically backed conclusions. Publications cannot keep up with results and fellowships do not create a hive mind mentality.
The internet has done a lot for medicine as a reference and research tool, but results analysis rely on input. In a voluntary disclosure system, the weakness is the doctors willingness or ability (time crunch) to input the data in an unbiased manner.
Will technology solve these issues? Not completely. But improved bio sensing and automated data reporting will go a long way for consistency.
Oh...so I guess you guys were joking when you said that people practice based on "intuition" and "instinct" which are essentially both key words for arbitrary random bull shite that is done on a fricking whim.
dart throwers
Will the computer be right 100% of the time? No. But in these instances it will be much much more reliable than a human.
Well I won't speak for them, but the science of medicine always knows the answer, the practice of medicine makes educated guesses. In most cases it is doing the best with what your capability allows.
No, you're the dumb one, as evident by the fact you couldn't get into med school and now you hate doctors.
You make it seem as if a doctor doesnt scour the 4 corners of the earth everyday, his care will be supbar.
What happens when the machine is wrong? Doctors get sued.
Is this a gay thread, 'cause we are at 61 pages about some dumbass that thinks he's rich ?
It's not a matter of scouring the whole earth every day. It's a matter of only being able to scour the 3 block radius surrounding your house. Meanwhile a machine can and will scour the 4 hours of the earth every day. And not only that but it has the ability to rationalize all the data using algorithms that are far far superior to whatever drives the decision making process in your head.
So yes, you will be sub par compared to what the machine comes up with.
And it won't even be close.
Finally, someone else who isn't a moron.
I realize you aren't "on my side" on this argument per say but that's more truth than a lot of these dart throwers want to acknowledge.
Actually this might not be the case.
Depends on some FDA rulings
Presumably you will have far fewer websites with Dr. Watson on the case.
Ok so this begs the question, why isn't this all happening today? Computers right now have tremendous computational powers, certainly more than humans, so why aren't they being utilized? Whats the hold up?
ETA: at least in a consultatory capacity?
Ok so this begs the question, why isn't this all happening today? Computers right now have tremendous computational powers, certainly more than humans, so why aren't they being utilized? Whats the hold up?
What I can tell you that is a universal truth: nobody wants to be belittled, especially when they work long and hard to get to where they are.
You are witnessing the beginning of it right now with Watson. Machines have long been able to compute things faster than humans. Now we have clever enough programming for the machine to learn using non structured data.
Even apps like epocrates are used routinely when writing prescriptions.

I don't blame ya. I wouldn't either. Holland with all those wins, superb peepers, & that bitchline. Then you have T T T Tia who has 69 Open Points with 8 wins, 68 AM Points with 9 wins, Double Header Winner, National Finalist, & IMO the best or 2nd best (Her & Gracie are tops to me.) bitch in the country. Yes sir, I would be excited too if I were you.
While I do not know the great bitches everywhere else Tia and Gracie definitely make anyone's list, hopefully Dot too someday
for dr ed to even allow that there might be a great bitch or two somewhere other than texas shows a rare attribute......."lone star humility"!
congrats on the placement dr ed and the win susan, and congrats to both on the planned breeding!

I could be wrong, but I think Tia & Gracie were Purina High Point Open & Am females this past year. Not bad for dogs that run against each other most weekends in the circuits they run. I'm sure there are other very nice bitches, but I'd put my money on those 2 all day.

Ok.... As promised I have placed links below to screenshots of the diary application I have been working on with Lito Lontoc. They are only shots of the login screen but they will give you an idea of the CSS styles that I have implemented for the users. At the top right hand corner you will see the style buttons users can choose which will allow them to pick their favourite colour. Once chosen, every page (form) they then go to will default to that chosen colour. Sorry about the OS and browser that is shown, but heck, thats what I have to use whilst at work ;-)
I will eventually post more screenshots of the diary itself which will include a calendar, scheduling, court lists etc etc.... which will give you more of an idea of the work that has gone into converting the mainframe app to a web interface.
