Equine Programs
Racing Barn
Morrisville State College's racing barn is used by the standardbred and thoroughbred racing programs. It is equipped with four indoor wash racks.
Equine Programs
The Equine Science degrees at Morrisville State College are designed to further the technical and business knowledge and skills of equine students. A bachelor degree in Equine Science and associate degrees in Equine Science and Management and Equine Racing Management are offered. The range of courses offered in these programs supplies practical experience in handling horses as well as quality academic opportunities. The equine programs also provide students with the opportunity to concentrate on breeding, training, nutrition, and management specifically with horses, rather than with a generalized group of livestock.
Courses ranging from Equine Business Management to Applied Equine Nutrition to Animal Genetics allow students to advance academically and specialize in very specific areas of the horse industry, including Equine Science and Management (hunt seat, stock seat, or driving concentration), Breeding Management or Racing Management (harness racing, thoroughbred racing, or business management).
The equine curriculum focuses on the development of industry skills including care and training of horses, riding, driving, breeding and business and stable management. Students also remain actively involved with enterprise management and continue to work hands–on with the animals. The focal points of the program are courses in Advanced Equine Specializations in breaking and training and horsemanship, plus an internship or international exchange program.
For students with an interest in harness or thoroughbred racing, Morrisville State College's Equine Racing Management program can provide direct entry into these exciting fields. The program emphasizes hands-on participation in the breaking, care, training, conditioning and racing of standardbreds and thoroughbreds. Students work one-on-one with assigned horses. Upon successful completion of the United States Trotting Association driver/training test and other mandated requirements, students are able to race those horses on the New York county fair circuit or amateur driving events at a local pari-mutuel track.
In addition to gaining hands-on experience, students are exposed to a core of other horse-specific courses, including Equine Anatomy and Physiology, Equine Health and Lameness, Equine Nutrition, Equine Breeding, Farm and Stable Management, Artificial Insemination, Fitting and Marketing of the Equine and Horse Husbandry.

First of all, thank you so much to Kimberly and the rest of Fat Quarter Shop for picking my little book to feature this month. Such an honor!
Simplify is my very first (hint, hint) book with C&T/ Stash Books, and even though it has been out for a little while now, I still have to pinch myself every so often to see if it's real. Writing books has always been a dream of mine, and it was so fun to see this book become a reality.
(We added one more boy since that family photo. Yep, three boys. Hence, the need to keep it simple over here.)
A couple of my favorite projects in the book?
The Dream Big quilt,
with matching pillows (which you can whip up from precut leftovers in a jiffy).
And Happy-Go-Lucky; I remade here out of Ruby.
There are 10 quilts in the book, all made from Moda precuts. All simple projects that vary in difficulty. Some you could put together in an afternoon, and some might take a few weeks depending on how many little interruptions you have. (I have 3. ;-)
This book is all about simple. Simple fabric choices, simple projects, and simple construction designed to make the simple life more beautiful - Because that's how we roll over here.
Keep it simple!

walters: One thing that can be done to improve access to clean water is to support organizations which are working at this problem (financially or otherwise).
The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is an effective organization which is working at this (and many other) issues in developing countries. One particular aspect of how MCC works that I appreciate is that they don't go into a country and set up their own program. Rather, they coordinate and cooperate with people and groups in a country to help achieve common goals. Also, MCC carries out development programs in North America, too (it's not like so-called "first world" countries don't have development problems, too).
I work for PeaceWorks Computer Consulting, which supports several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including MCC. In supporting these organizations we make use of and contribute to free
software as much as we can, which makes this job doubly-satisfying.
Bash programmable completion is very cool, and it's included in the bash from debian/unstable. I'm addicted.

Choriocarcinoma is a quick-growing form of cancer that occurs in a woman's uterus (womb). The abnormal cells start in the tissue that would normally become the placenta, the organ that develops during pregnancy to feed the fetus.
Choriocarcinoma is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease.
Chorioblastoma; Trophoblastic tumor; Chorioepithelioma; Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
Choriocarcinoma is an uncommon, but very often curable cancer that occurs during pregnancy. A baby may or may not develop in these types of pregnancy.
The cancer may occur after a normal pregnancy. However, it most often occurs with a complete hydatidiform mole. The abnormal tissue from the mole can continue to grow even after it is removed, and can turn into cancer. About half of all women with a choriocarcinoma had a hydatidiform mole, or molar pregnancy.
Choriocarcinomas may also occur after an early pregnancy that doesn't continue (miscarriage),
A possible symptom is vaginal bleeding in a woman who recently had a hydatidiform mole or pregnancy.
Other symptoms may include:
A pregnancy test will be positive even if you are not pregnant. Pregnancy hormone (HCG) levels will be high.
A pelvic exam may show uterine swelling or a tumor.
Blood tests that may be done include:
Imaging tests that may be done include:
You should be carefully monitored after a hydatidiform mole or at the end of a pregnancy. Getting diagnosed with choriocarcinoma early can improve the outcome.
After you are diagnosed, a careful history and exam will be done to make sure the cancer has not spread to other organs. Chemotherapy is the main type of treatment.
A hysterectomy and radiation therapy are rarely needed.
For additional information, see cancer resources.
Most women whose cancer has not spread can be cured and will still be able to have children. A choriocarcinoma may come back within a few months to 3 years after treatment.
The condition is harder to cure if the cancer has spread and one or more of the following happens:
Many women (about 70%) who have a poor outlook at first go into remission (a disease-free state).
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms within 1 year after a hydatidiform mole or pregnancy.

The unaccredited district is fighting for its very survival and that battle got tougher this week when a consultant group, hired by the state, released a much anticipated and controversial plan. The consultant group called CEE-Trust says the district has failed and wants the state to create something it calls a Community Schools Office to replace the district, but it would have little to do with education. Every building would be run by a nonprofit, a charter school or a neighboring district. Also, all educational, hiring and budgetary decisions would be made at the building level.
At a time when school transfer laws and accreditation are making headlines too, KCPT special correspondent Sam Zeff taps into an ongoing sentiment bubbling just below the surface about whether to dismantle the Kansas City School District altogether. The state will now study these various plans, but, if test scores in Kansas City public schools continue to improve, there's a good chance the district will be provisionally accredited, putting all of this on hold.

11.16: Precambrian Continents
What did the first crust look like?
These ancient greenstones are metamophosed pillow lavas from much earlier in Earth history. These rocks are found in eastern Canada and similar rocks are found in cratons around the world.
Early Continents
The first crust was made of basaltic rock, like the current ocean crust. Partial melting of the lower portion of the basaltic crust began more than 4 billion years ago. This created the silica-rich crust that became the felsic continents.
The earliest felsic continental crust is now found in the ancient cores of continents, called the cratons. Rapid plate motions meant that cratons experienced many continental collisions. Little is known about the paleogeography, or the ancient geography, of the early planet, although smaller continents could have come together and broken up.
Geologists can learn many things about the Pre-Archean by studying the rocks of the cratons.
- Cratons also contain felsic igneous rocks, which are remnants of the first continents.
- Cratonic rocks contain rounded sedimentary grains. Of what importance is this fact? Rounded grains indicate that the minerals eroded from an earlier rock type and that rivers or seas also existed.
- One common rock type in the cratons is greenstone, a metamorphosed volcanic rock (Figure below). Since greenstones are found today in oceanic trenches, what does the presence of greenstones mean? These ancient greenstones indicate the presence of subduction zones.
Ice age glaciers scraped the Canadian Shield down to the 4.28 billion year old greenstone in Northwestern Quebec.
Places the craton crops out at the surface is known as a shield. Cratons date from the Precambrian and are called Precambrian shields. Many Precambrian shields are about 570 million years old (Figure below).
The Canadian Shield is the ancient flat part of Canada that lies around Hudson Bay, the northern parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan and much of Greenland.
In most places the cratons were covered by younger rocks, which together are called a platform. Sometimes the younger rocks eroded away to expose the Precambrian craton (Figure below).
The Precambrian craton is exposed in the Grand Canyon where the Colorado River has cut through the younger sedimentary rocks.
Early Convection
During the Pre-Archean and Archean, Earth's interior was warmer than today. Mantle convection was faster and plate tectonics processes were more vigorous. Since subduction zones were more common, the early crustal plates were relatively small.
Since the time that it was completely molten, Earth has been cooling. Still, about half the internal heat that was generated when Earth formed remains in the planet and is the source of the heat in the core and mantle today.
The presence of water on ancient Earth is revealed in a zircon crystal (1c): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V21hFmZP5zM (3:13).
- The ancient core of a continent, at and beneath the surface, is its craton.
- The cratonic rock that is seen at the surface is called the shield. Where the shield is covered by younger sediments is the platform.
- Convection on early Earth was faster and so plate tectonics was faster. Since then, Earth has been cooling.

5. What was Atlantica composed of?
6. How was Nena formed?
7. When was Columbia formed? When did it begin to break apart?
8. When was Rodinia formed?
1. Why could the felsic continental crust not be Earth's first crust?
2. What are greenstones and why are they important in understanding early Earth history?
3. Why was plate tectonics more vigorous in the early Earth? What would plate tectonics have been like?

Yes! I'd be honored to! Send me an email and we can discuss your project.
Yes. The majority of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution license, which means you can freely download and use my music in your project (whether it's commercial or non-profit). You must, however, provide credit, and a link to the SoundCloud page of track which you used. If you do not follow this simple guideline, you risk having your project taken down by my army of angry lawyers!!! >:(
The bare minimum you have to do is display my name "Steven O'Brien" either in the credits or an accompanying description, however, I would ask that you make an effort to also include SoundCloud links to the tracks you used in the credits or an accompanying description too. This not only helps me by attracting new listeners, but it also allows your viewers to easily find my music if they wish to explore it further.
Exactly. My Creative Commons music is 100% free and will always remain that way. However, if you do find my music useful, or if you simply enjoy it, I would ask that you consider donating to me via flattr, or sending some money to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks. :)
Yes, you can still use my music for free even if your project is commercial, but again, I would ask again that you consider donating to me. If you're making money off of something that benefits from my music, please be fair.
Not at all. Simply choose a track you like and use it in your project, no questions asked. While not necessary, if you do end up using my music in your project, I would love to hear from you about how it went. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Send me an email and we can discuss it.
Please, please, don't. :( I appreciate the concern over doing things correctly, but seriously, I get about five or six emails a week asking whether or not it's okay to use my music in X or Y scenario. I have never once said "no" to someone. As long as you're able to provide credit in the manner which I outlined above, you can use my music in any way that you please.
Jesus Christ. :(
If you can do any of the things which has a green tick beside it, either in the credits or an accompanying description (everywhere that you post it), you can use my music.
If people can ask "what song is this?" and other people can respond "Darude - Sandstorm", you either haven't attributed correctly, or the accompanying description isn't accessible/prominent enough.
As long as you provide credit, it's fine. If your remix is really heavily based on my work and is not just using some small segment as a sample, if possible I'd appreciate it if you'd reference the track(s) in the title.
It depends. Send me an email and we can discuss whether or not your request is viable. I may charge a fee depending on how extensive the work required is.
If you've gotten an .mp3 and you want a .flac or a .wav, contact me and I'll send you a lossless version. If you've gotten a .wav/.flac and want an .mp3, you can easily convert it yourself using a tool like Audacity. If you want a MIDI,
go sit in the corner and rethink your life contact me.
Sure. Send me an email and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. If you're a classical composer, I'd also recommend that you post your music over at the TalkClassical forums.
I'm not giving my music away for nothing in return. A prominent attribution is more valuable to me than money alone because it attracts new listeners, and it attracts developers/filmmakers/videomakers/etc. who enjoy my music and seek me out to write original music for their game/film/project. The music is more valuable to everyone if it's free and available. In any case, I trust people to donate to me/buy an album (they usually do) if they like my music or find it useful.
- 8dio Adagio/Agitato for strings
- Orchestral Tools Symphonic Sphere for some supplemental string articulations (this library is great for getting all of those airy articulations like harmonics, sul ponticello etc.
- Orchestral Tools Berlin Woodwinds (including all three expansions) for woodwinds.
- 8dio Claire series for soloistic woodwinds
- Cinebrass Core/Pro for brass (I'd just say that I'm not 100% happy with the programming in this, but it's the best library currently available. I'm waiting for a replacement (or an update) to come along, really.)
- Embertone Chapman solo trumpet
- Orchestral Tools The Timpani for timpani
- - Truestrike 1 and 2 for general percussion
- Heavyocity Damage for more cinematic percussion
- Cinesamples Voxos, 8dio Requiem for choir
- Symphobia 1 for "glue"
- - Omnisphere for synths
I have many many piano libraries, but the ones I find myself using most commonly recently are:
- - Spitfire Felt Piano
- - Art Vista Steinway B
- - Soundiron Emotional Piano
- - Acousticsamples Old Black Grand
This list is incomplete, of course, but that's 95% of it. Some libraries I put through a plugin called VirtualSoundStage2 to position them, then either a B2, RC48 or Altiverb reverb on the master bus, sometimes a bit of compression using The Glue, sometimes a bit of EQing, and that's about it.

Welcome to Los Santos
The biggest, most dynamic, and most diverse open world ever created, Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game's three lead characters, playing all sides of the game's interwoven story.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped for; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. They'll risk everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
The GTA you know and love
All the classic hallmarks of the groundbreaking series return, including incredible attention to detail and Grand Theft Auto's darkly humorous take on modern culture, alongside a brand-new and ambitious approach to open-world multiplayer.
Franklin, Michael, and Trevor
These three playable protagonists may live in different parts of town, have their own issues, attitudes, lifestyles, desires, and goals, but they do know how to work together. They also each have their own unique skillsets to bring to the table when it's time to get the job done.
Explore Los Santos and Blaine County
Travel through the largest open world yet in a Grand Theft Auto title, spanning vastly diverse cultural and geographical areas. The entire world of GTA V is open to explore from the very start—traverse from the tops of the mountains, through the streets of Los Santos, and to the depths of the ocean floor.
Pull off the big score
Petty crimes, hustling, and stealing cars can only get you so far in Los Santos. To score big, Michael, Franklin, and Trevor will work together to pull off grand heists—big, multi-part missions that require careful preparation, recruiting, and precise (and often explosive) execution.
Recreational activity
The massive open world of GTA V offers more to get into than ever before. For recreation, play a bit of golf or tennis, zen out with some yoga, or cycle through the countryside. For adrenaline heads, parachute over the city, or customize your Cheetah and race suckers for money.
Meet some friendly neighbors
The streets are alive with all kinds of characters who coordinate clothing colors and enjoy leisure pursuits such as territory clashes and pharmaceutical commerce. Stop and chat with a member of The Epsilon Program for some enlightenment, or head to Blaine County where they always extend a helping hand to outsiders.

ean Little's most recent book, The Sweetest one of all, is a picture book for very young children and their parents. In it, barnyard animal babies ask their mothers who they are and each of them is told that he or she is the sweetest one of all. The book ends with a human mother telling her little one the same thing. And getting a loving hug in response. The playful text should continue to delight both children and adults even after many readings.
The colourful illustrations by Marisol Sarrazin are endearing and filled with lively detail. Each will hold small readers spellbound.
Poetry, Orca, 2003, 80 Pages
Bad Guys
''I'm tired of telling Batman stories,'' I told my little brother.''Just this once, can I tell you The Three Little Pigs?''
''No,'' he snapped.''There's no bad guys in it.I like bad guys.''
So much for you, Big Bad Wolf.
I Gave My Mom a Castle is a collection of poems about giving and receiving. This is Jean Little's first poetry collection since the still-beloved Hey World, Here I Am! was published fifteen years ago. Most are prose poems, mini stories, told by a wide cast of characters from toddlers to teens with an adult or two thrown in for good measure.
Jean Little knows the joys and pains of growing up in the twenty-first century. She writes about being a foster child, being ignored or controlled by a parent, being the eldest, being the youngest, being hurt - or helped - by a teacher, teaching a parrot to speak, all with love, humor and depth of perception.
Kady MacDonald Denton has won many awards for her illustrations. When presented with Jean Little's poems, she could not resist illustrating I Gave My Mom a Castle. Her sketches seem ready to jump off the page. They are a great pleasure to contemplate all on their own and perfectly complement Jean Little's writing.

Utah State University first to implement novel nutrition program in the U.S.
First U.S. Food Dudes Program results in more than 40 percent increase in fruit and vegetable consumption among elementary students
Food Dudes Program expands into six elementary schools in the Cache Valley School District
Utah State University (USU) researchers have completed the first U.S. implementation of the Food Dudes Healthy Eating Program and saw fruit and vegetable consumption increase by more than 40 percent among elementary school students. USU researchers are now expanding the program into six elementary schools in northern Utah.
The Food Dudes program was developed by psychologists at Bangor University in Wales in order to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables both in school and at home. Food Dudes is comprised of a three-step system of using role models, repeated tastings and rewards to help elementary students appreciate the benefits of healthy eating.
Last year, researchers in Utah State University's Nutrition Department, Psychology Department and the USTAR Applied Nutrition Research Program were the first to adopt the Food Dudes program in the United States at the Edith Bowen Laboratory School on the university's campus. After seeing a clear increase in healthy eating habits among the students, the program will be instituted at six elementary schools in the Cache County School District.
"At Edith Bowen we saw about a 40 percent increase in fruit consumption and a 55 percent increase in vegetable consumption among the students in the school, many of whom weren't eating these foods with any regularity before," said Greg Madden, associate professor in USU's department of psychology. "We saw remarkable success with the pilot implementation of this program, and we are excited to see the program in action on a larger scale in these six Cache Valley schools. Our goal is to raise those percentages even higher by making some very slight variations to the program in the six new schools we are reaching."
One of the variations in USU's implementation is offering students social rewards, such as praise, encouragement and public acknowledgement as opposed to typical, tangible awards like stickers or pencils.
"We are excited to have the Food Dudes program at our school, and can't wait to start seeing some results, especially as it pertains to the social rewards aspect," said Kathy Toolson, principal at Sunrise Elementary in Smithfield, Utah. "My hope is that not only will these social rewards help our students want to make better choices when it comes to eating fruits and vegetables, but they will also boost their self esteems and help them cultivate a better sense of self and accomplishment."
USU received funding for the grant from the USDA, which recommends that half of the plate at each meal contain fruits and vegetables. The grant is co-directed by Heidi Wengreen, associate professor in USU's Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences Department. USU's College of Education, where the Department of Psychology is housed, currently ranks fifth in the nation in terms of external funding for research.

I read through this thread and was impressed with how many members are either working in a technical area or are students in technical areas. You may be interested in what an old man like me has to say about technical jobs. When I was young I wanted to do something important in my life so I earned this thing called a Ph.D. in physics from a name brand school. Then I went to work as a development engineer at a place called IBM. After way too many years at IBM I recently retired. All I can say about technical jobs is "Moms don't let your babies grow up to work for IBM" (with my apologizes to good old WN).
Is it true they buried Tom Watson nine-edge face-down?
I'm still here, hahahahaha. I still find it amazing how many people here are students in this community. I was expecting most of the people here to be out of college.
Right now I am taking an intensive 1st year Mandarin Chinese course at my university. It's a lot of fun but at the same time it's a lot of work as well.
I'm a final year medical student... looking forwards to qualifying in June!
Nice! Best of luck to you. :)
I'm surprised there is actually a good chunk of high school students here on Head-Fi. When I first joined Head-Fi, I thought most of the community would be old folks to be honest. XD
I'm a musician, and private vocal and instrumental instructor with a masters in vocal pedogogy. Thats right, I mold the minds of your youth.
First Year Uni student (Chemistry)
I relax by listening to music, joining head-fi was a means of finding ways to relax further, and maybe meet like minded people
I find talking to people on forums interesting, like talking to strangers, but ones that you know you'll get along with, its's nice.
Student at UKC, 1st year physics, It'll be a 4 year course so i'm gonna have to develop some budgeting skill sharpish.

pleco questions for a newbie
Hi guys,
i have a 65-70 gal malawi cichlid tank and i'm having some issues with brown algae. The tank is cycled and has been up and running for the better part of 2013. The algae i can clean off the glass easily, but it is slowly growing on the gravel and the ornaments too. including the fake plants. I cleaned the plants off once and it was quite hard to get off with a brush.
I have bought a pleco in hopes that he would keep it clean, or at least the glass but he didn't really do anything. I didn't feed him anything and i think he just ate enough algae not to die. Bare minimum. I got rid of him and got another one, and same problem. they do nothing.
My friends tank on the other hand is spotless! She was without a pleco for a while and algae started to grow and when she got a new one he's been working like crazy and keeps everything super clean.
-Is there a reason they are lazy in my tank? What should i look for when buying a pleco?
-Is there a particular age at which plecos are more active and after which they get lazier?
-Are there better breeds of pleco to get for algae vs some others?
-Are the smaller/younger ones better or one bigger one?
The one i have seems to have like a cut up tail fin or something, so when he tries to swim he has to wiggle his body a lot and that even kicks up the stuff off the bottom and looks terrible. So at this point he's doing more harm than good haha.
I keep saying this...
There is no single species of pleco. It's a label stuck onto loads of different fish.
In the states "pleco" tends to refer to fish from either the Pterygoplichthys or Hypostomus family. These are omnivores that will eat some algae when they are young. They also tend to get big, 10 to 18 inches for some species.
There are very few fish that will actually touch brown algae
The only fish I can think of that would work in a small malawi tank like yours is a "bristlenose".
Personally I find it rather shocking that you're chucking in a fish, not feeding it and laughing at the fact that something has taken a nip at it and hurt it enough to handicap it.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

If the tank is well established but you're still getting brown algae,then you might want to look at:
1) reducing the amount of time your lights are on
2) consider if you are overfeeding
3) test your tap and tank water for phosphates. if they are anything but 0 you may have silicates in the water that is causing the algae. If so, try Chemi pure elite in your filters to see if that helps.
4) check your rocks and decor to see if any of them may be heavy in phosphates and remove or change them out if that's the case
I have 3 tanks. 1 is spotless = 0 brown algae. the other two have ongoing issues and all three tanks have been established for well over a year. Same water source. Same substrate. I have tried everything to get rid of it. No go. So, I clean it. That's just the breaks.
good luck30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails

+1 to the above responses you've already received.
Plecos are not employees to be hired and fired, they are animals and you are responsible for their welfare.
If you have algae problems you either have an immature tank (time will cure this), or there is an imbalance of nutrients in your water or light time.
What is your water change schedule and how much do you change?
What filtration do you have?
How often do you clean out your filter and do you swill it in tap water or used tank water?"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

First, I would doubt the "brown algae" is diatoms, but more likely a form of brush algae. Some members have given info for diatoms, if that is what you have, but your comment that it is hard to remove suggests brush algae. I have seen this as "brown" or brown-black, and very tiny (not the normal "brush" appearance).
Algae is normal, and not a bad thing except when attached to live plants as it can then suffocate the leaf and plant. But without live plants, there is no harm in algae; it is actually good, as it performs some of the same functions plants do by using nutrients and producing oxygen. Keeping it off the glass is easy with a scraper; I find if you use one of the sponge models on the front glass every week during the water change, you will never see it on the glass. I leave it alone on wood and rock; an aquarium without algae is probably not that healthy (unless planted, that is a different story). Fish produce waste which become organics and nutrients, and with light, algae will appear.
To the pleco. I agree with those who do not recommend getting any fish to deal with any "problem." Find the cause of the problem and fix that. Fish have needs and requirements. A rift lake cichlid tank is no suitable environment for the South American plecos, Bristlenose or other. There are some suitable Synodontis species from Africa, though I've no idea how effective they are with algae. Not many fish will touch brush algae anyway; I'm only aware of two species.

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If youre going to take it under your wing then youre responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]

I'm aware that there isn't a single species of pleco. That's why i asked if one breed of them was better than others for eating algae and which would be a better bet. A friend of mine had her pleco for 4 years and never fed him anything. He just kept her tank spotless and so i assumed that was just their job.

Yes, people often hear "brown" and just say diatoms, but from what I've read diatoms are easy to clean. THe first time i cleaned this off some fake plants it was very difficult and i still didn't get it all off. I used a stiff toothbrush and it was hard work. The gravel i use has crushed coral mixed in so once it gets into the little pores of the gravel, cleaning that is next to impossible. I'm sure i could take it all out and bleach it or something but that would requiring disassembling the entire tank and it's not bad enough for me to do that yet.
Yes, it does come very easily off the glass ... but that's just because the glass is smooth im sure.
Interesting that you have that one tank where you can't get rid of it .... hope your figure it out eventually.

The use of traditional techniques such as the shake table or the pseudo-dynamic (PSD) test are often used to validate and disseminate new technologies associated with structural response attenuation. At full-scale, the ability to perform such tests on realistic structures is limited. Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) offers an economical and reliable methodology for testing integrated structural systems with rate dependent behaviors. Within a RTHS implementation, critical components of the structural system under evaluation are physically tested, while the more predictable ones are replaced with computational models. Real-time execution, or performing the test with a one-to-one time scale, ensures that the tests yield more realistic responses. As a result, RTHS implementations provide an alternate approach to evaluating structural / rate-dependent systems under actual dynamic and inertial conditions without need for full-scale structural testing. One significant challenge for successful RTHS is the availability of a robust and reliable simulation tool to accurately represent the physical complexities within the computational counterparts. Accurate computational models are required to ensure compatibility, stability and adequate synchronization between both computational and experimental substructures during testing. In this study, the RT-Frame2D tool is proposed. The development, implementation and validation of this open source real-time computational platform intended for the hybrid simulation of dynamically-excited steel frame structures, is presented. The computational platform is designed to recreate common sources of nonlinear behavior in steel frame structures, with adequate modeling and integration schemes to enable its flexible implementation within a typical RTHS platform. Through a series of numerical and experimental studies of typical RTHS scenarios, the capabilities of the tool are demonstrated, evaluated and validated. (RT-Frame2D and user manual are available at nees.org, http://nees.org/resources/realtimeframe2d ).

I used Ovuplant to get my bitch into heat a month early. With the coming hunting season I wanted to get the pups to their new homes and have time to get the bitch back into shape before my trip this year, we leave Friday!!!. The bitch MUST be 135 from the previous ovulation. After implantation they start heat on 5-7 days, then ovulate 5-7 days later. I found the heat moves MUCH faster, get progesterone tests starting 4-5 days after starting heat, do NOT go by vaginal smears, they go fast. My bitch had classic progesterone increases, bred with frozen semen 5 days after LH spike, 3 days after ovulation, and we had a great litter. The implant is removed at the time if breeding.
I worked with Dr. Robert Hutchinsen in the Cleveland area to obtain the implant and do the actual breeding. Thanks also to Dr. Mary Tatum and her associates for getting me the semen on short notice. A

NO not OK with the deletion of PE. Dad killed in car wreck when I was 6 wearing seat belt. I had a pretty bad one in highschool also wearing seatbelt and not a scratch, but am certain would have gone through windshield if unbelted. ALL research and ALL evidence PROVES that seatbelts SAVE lives, so your argument there is just, well I really hate to use the term, but, stupid.
As to smoking, the biggest problem I have there is that it isn't fatal quickly or reliably enough. If you have paid ANY attention to my posts over the last couple of years, you know that I am mostly a misanthrope and think that there are way too many people on this little blue sphere and so don't really care if folks commit suicide, just wish they would use more reliable means than tobacco use. If it worked more reliably and faster, it would be a good tool to help raise the collective IQ. Actually goes for ADULTS and seat belts too.
About time for me to sign off and am going to be out for a few days, so:
Merry Christmas, y un prospero ano nuevo! Pray for RAIN!!!

I think it's safe to say that Yandex (YNDX) caught investors by surprise today. That's what happens when a company reports surging profits, beast forecasts and raises revenue guidance. It also doesn't hurt that it had been beaten down this year.
Here's Bloomberg with the details:
Yandex NV, Russia's largest Internet search engine, said profit gained 79 percent in the first quarter and raised its 2013 sales target because of growth in online advertising.
Net income climbed to 2.25 billion rubles ($72 million) from 1.26 billion rubles a year earlier, Yandex said in a statement today. Sales advanced 36 percent to 8 billion rubles, while the adjusted margin on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was 43.8 percent…
Sales may rise 30 percent to 35 percent this year, Yandex said in the statement, upgrading its guidance in February of 28 percent to 32 percent.
Yandex has 61.16% of the Russian search market, according Reuters, to Google's (GOOG) 26%. That's made it popular to compare valuations of the two companies. A couple months after going public in 2011, Yandex traded at nearly four times Google's valuation based on the next 12 months of analyst forecasts, according to FactSet data. Since then, the premium has plunged, as this chart shows.
Shares of Yandex have gained 11.8% to $23.99 today, after dropping 7.5% during the past three months. Google has dropped 0.1% to $812.29, after climbing 7.9% during the past there months.

4.8: Seismic Waves
How is a seismologist like a medical doctor?
Just as a medical doctor uses an MRI, CT scan, or x-ray to see inside a patient's body, seismologists use wave energy to learn about Earth's interior. The difference is that the doctor can run the energy through the patient at any time. Scientists need to wait for an earthquake to get information about Earth's interior.
Energy is transmitted in waves. Every wave has a high point called a crest and a low point called a trough. The height of a wave from the center line to its crest is its amplitude. The distance between waves from crest to crest (or trough to trough) is its wavelength. The parts of a wave are illustrated in Figure below.
The crest, trough, and amplitude are illustrated in this diagram.
Earthquake Waves
The energy from earthquakes travels in waves. The study of seismic waves is known as seismology. Seismologists use seismic waves to learn about earthquakes and also to learn about the Earth's interior.
One ingenious way scientists learn about Earth's interior is by looking at earthquake waves. Seismic waves travel outward in all directions from where the ground breaks and are picked up by seismographs around the world. Two types of seismic waves are most useful for learning about Earth's interior.
Body Waves
P-waves and S-waves are known as body waves because they move through the solid body of the Earth. P-waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves only move through solids (Figure below). Surface waves only travel along Earth's surface. In an earthquake, body waves produce sharp jolts. They do not do as much damage as surface waves.
- P-waves (primary waves) are fastest, traveling at about 6 to 7 kilometers (about 4 miles) per second, so they arrive first at the seismometer. P-waves move in a compression/expansion type motion, squeezing and unsqueezing Earth materials as they travel. This produces a change in volume for the material. P-waves bend slightly when they travel from one layer into another. Seismic waves move faster through denser or more rigid material. As P-waves encounter the liquid outer core, which is less rigid than the mantle, they slow down. This makes the P-waves arrive later and further away than would be expected. The result is a P-wave shadow zone. No P-waves are picked up at seismographs 104o to 140o from the earthquakes focus.
How P-waves travel through Earth's interior.
- S-waves (secondary waves) are about half as fast as P-waves, traveling at about 3.5 km (2 miles) per second, and arrive second at seismographs. S-waves move in an up and down motion perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. This produces a change in shape for the Earth materials they move through. Only solids resist a change in shape, so S-waves are only able to propagate through solids. S-waves cannot travel through liquid.
Earth's Interior
By tracking seismic waves, scientists have learned what makes up the planet's interior (Figure below).
- P-waves slow down at the mantle core boundary, so we know the outer core is less rigid than the mantle.
- S-waves disappear at the mantle core boundary, so we know the outer core is liquid.
Letters describe the path of an individual P-wave or S-wave. Waves traveling through the core take on the letter K.
Surface Waves
Surface waves travel along the ground, outward from an earthquake's epicenter. Surface waves are the slowest of all seismic waves, traveling at 2.5 km (1.5 miles) per second. There are two types of surface waves. The rolling motions of surface waves do most of the damage in an earthquake.

- amplitude: The height of a wave from the center to the top of the crest (or the bottom of the trough).
- body wave: Seismic waves that travel through the body of a planet; e.g. primary or secondary waves.
- crest: The highest point of a wave.
- P-waves: Primary waves; arrive first at a seismograph
- S-waves: Secondary waves; arrive second at a seismograph
- seismology: The study of seismic waves including earthquakes and the Earth's interior.
- surface wave: Seismic waves that travel along the ground surface; they do the most damage.
- trough: The lowest point of a wave.
- wavelength: Horizontal distance from wave crest to wave crest, or wave trough to wave trough.
- P-waves arrive first to a seismograph because they are faster. They travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
- S-waves arrive second to a seismograph, and they only travel through solids.
- The behavior of P- and S-waves indicates that the outer core is liquid.

From the airport:
By car: From International Airport Road, turn left at the light on Spenard Road. Go through the light on Wisconsin, and turn left. Turn again just past McDonald's. Make a quick left onto W 42nd, and we are located halfway down the block on the right side in a green and purple building with a mural on the front.
By bus: Take the #7 bus to the stop just past Spenard and Wisconsin (Anchorage bus drivers are very helpful--let them know you're heading for the hostel.) From the stop, cross Spenard Road (there is an under street crossing if traffic is heavy) and continue onto Turnagain. Take the first left onto W 42nd and walk halfway down the block to 2845, on the right hand side.
A taxi from the airport will cost $7-10.

I think it was Warren Buffett who said,"When the tide goes out, you get to see who still has their pants on."
Well, there is no doubt that the tide has gone out on the equity markets and there have been quite a few major figures that have lost their pants – Madoff and Stanford as of late, Ebbers and Enron just a few years back.
These were people and companies that we were supposed to be able to trust, but they let us down. It's not hard to earn trust in an up market. When investors are making money they don't tend to sweat the details.
Trust is important, but it is over-shadowed by the reality of a profitable market. When investors count on the trust of their adviser is when things aren't going so well. When their financial life is on the block they need to know that we advisers are looking out for their best interest. That is where we are having a problem.
Who can you trust?
Investors have a hard time knowing that they can trust us. It's confusing.
Back when I started in the business, my business card said stock broker. I traded securities for my clients, and I made money either from the commissions on the trade or from the product I sold. That's what stock brokers do. Insurance salesmen sold insurance, CPAs worked on your tax issues for a fee, and bankers managed your deposits and loaned you money.
Now every one of those industries can have someone working for them who has a business card that says they are a financial adviser or a consultant.
Unfortunately, for the most part, many of the roles haven't changed. Stock brokers still trade for commissions, insurance salesmen still get paid by the product, and now almost everyone else can sell products to the investing world.
The investing public isn't used to having accounting firms sell investment products, and it is confused by the role of the banks. Many readers I have talked with are confused about what is covered by FDIC insurance at the bank.
What has made the situation worse is that different groups have different standards of care when working with a client.
The standard of care for Series 7 registered advisers is that they must know their client and cannot sell anything to a client unless the client has the financial wherewithal to handle it.
But the standard doesn't say anything about the appropriateness of the product. The problem isn't that we have a bunch of financial representatives that are out there trying to sell inappropriate investments to their clients.
I was in that part of the business for years and most of the representatives I know try very hard to put their clients in appropriate investments. Sometimes it is difficult to know what the appropriate investment is, and if your firm is not required to live up to a standard of care that requires appropriateness, then the water can get a little murky.
Don't get me wrong, we need the major wire houses and brokerage firms. They are the place where new securities and investments are created. They have been responsible for a lot of good as well as some bad ideas over the years. But once they create something, they have to get out there and sell it to the investing public.
They do that by paying their sales force to promote their product. That product promotion is different from consulting and advising. Yet the investment world has a hard time understanding the difference. It is very difficult to figure out expense ratios, front end loads, back end loads, no loads and level loads.
It's even more difficult for clients to know if that new emerging market bond fund is a good addition to their bond portfolio because of the low correlation to U.S. bonds even though the standard deviation looks pretty high.
The least we can do is let clients know where our allegiance lies. If we are getting paid by the product, let's make sure they know how and how much. If our company has brought a new product to market, let's make sure they know.
We build trust by being transparent and that is something we are having a bit of a hard time with these days. Clients should demand to know what their "advisers" get paid and how they get paid.
They should be familiar with the standard of care to which their advisors are held. And we, as an industry, should do a better job of making that distinction apparent at the beginning of a relationship.
No secrets, no surprises. It's what you deserve.

Leftover ham goes Italian in this 25-minute meal for four.
We recommend reduced-fat Italian dressing because it clings very well to the pasta, vegetables and ham. In regular Italian dressing, the herbs and spices often separate and sink to the bottom of the bottle.
Select small zucchini, which are younger, more tender and have thinner skins. Look for skins that are blemish free with a vibrant color.

Winter-like weather downs lines in Green Bay, other areas of the state
Thousands in state without power due to storm
MADISON, Wis. - About 15,000 customers are still without power in Wisconsin after a storm carrying snow, rain and ice downed lines and toppled trees.
That's according to figures posted online by We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service. The number is down from about 30,000 earlier Wednesday.
Wisconsin Emergency Management spokesman Tod Pritchard said most residents should have power by Wednesday night, but some won't have service restored until Thursday.
The National Weather Service reports minor flooding across Wisconsin, and it has issued flash flood watches for Madison, La Crosse and Beaver Dam. There are flood warnings for Janesville, Kenosha, Milwaukee and Sheboygan as more rain is expected over the next day.

I wouldn't run against Franco or zeus.
I will argue religion and politics with them, but I feel they are both fine men and quality guys.
I think 2 of us will come up short and the one that wins will likely be doing a fair amount of gloating, as though this matters.
I think there will be a bit of injured pride for the 2 that lose, likely myself and zeus.
I don't think any of the 3 of us are losers.
I would find it difficult to describe exactly what either of those 2 men stand for exactly on every issue.
I am confident neither of them could accurately describe my positions either.
I would imagine that if it came to it, we would all 3 be shoulder to shoulder to defend our country if that call came.
I try to stand by my convictions, I try to keep my explanations brief, clear and relevant.
I try also to remain consistant.
Much gets lost in the transfer of information on the internet due to the lack of hearing inflection and seeing body language.
Often, the last post of a thread is read and responded to without an understanding of the context.
More often than not, no one reads and comprehends, they just wait for their turn to post.
I do read much of what is posted, but I myself am guilty of this from time too time as well.
Not criticizing, just the way it is.

Savane - News: Release 1.0.8: new features, bugfixes, cosmetics
[Submit News]
[23 news in archive]
Release 1.0.8: new features, bugfixes, cosmetics
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Fri Sep 2 22:34:17 2005.
I'm glad to another savane release. Thanks a lot to everyone involved.
The release tracking has been made with the task #1955.
Obtaining it:
- The GPG-signed tarball is available at <http://download.gna.org/savane/>
- It is downloadable via CVS, with the tag REL_1-0-8
- You can use apt-get with Debian, adding "deb http://dl.gna.org/savane/debian/ stable/" (without quotes) in your /etc/apt/sources.list
Main purpose of the release:
This release includes mainly bugfixes and cosmetics. It also features a voting system, inspired by bugzilla voting system: every savane user get 100 votes he can use to vote for items he'd like to be fixed in priority. Indeed, it has no direct effect on project management, projects can choose to ignore votes or even to disallow votes (since the vote field is a configurable field, as most fields of the trackers).
If you are upgrading from a version older than the 1.0.7, we cannot stress more the need for you to first properly upgrade to 1.0.7, as this release carry on with the move to utf-8 that is now used by Savane.
Installing it/Upgrading it:
If you are running Savane 1.0.7, you should run sql and perl scripts included in savane/update/1.0.8, as described in savane/update/README (or shipped with the debian package savane-update).
These scripts will handle the trivial changes on the database needed. They are supposedly safe but you should, indeed, do a backup of your database first, just in case (using mysqldump, for instance).
If you are running an older version than 1.0.7, you should run the scripts in savane/update for each release you missed.
Also, take care to the sections [CONFIGURATION] and [SITE SPECIFIC CONTENT] of the
ChangeLog below, it will tells you which files should be added in your site specific content directory.
Otherwise, just follow INSTALL, or INSTALL.verbose if it not enough. If you encounter undocumented troubles, please fill a support request at <https://gna.org/support/?group=savane>
ChangeLog :
Below are the change/new features you may be interested in. This is almost an exhaustive list of changes by topic.
- The function utils_make_links() was rewritten to better cope
with unusual hyperlinks and e-mail addresses (bug #2689)
- The error message for posted files which exceed the maximum
allowed size is much clearer now (bug #2053)
- The list of user sessions is ordered by date, from youngest
to oldest (bug #2561)
- Improve the project administration interface: more details in the
task details guiding the site administrator; shortcuts added in the
group edit page.
- Encoding in UTF-8 non-ASCII strings contained in From: and To:
fields of sent mails, encoding only non-ASCII strings in the Subject:
field, not the whole sentence (bug #2487).
- Hide forms item remaining in the printable version (bug #2075)
- In my items and my incomings items, there are now anchors on groups
links, so when you click on a group name to show or hide the list of
items related to it, you directly get on the page at the same place
(bug #2206).
- It's now possible to show followup comments in a quoted mode that
should copy/paste-friendly. This would allow users to quote each
others comments more easily.
Since it alters drastically the content of the followup comments,
it is only accessible via a submit button, it is not a general
setting (bug #2291).
It was imagined to apply also to the original content but it may
cause several issues I'd (yeupou--gna) prefer to avoid right now.
This feature should be considered as a draft, this topic is open
to constructive suggestions!
- It's now possible to vote for items. Each user can use 100 votes
(task #1407).
- Registration confirmation mentions the username (bug #2430).
(reminder section to be removed in the released ChangeLog.byversion)
- Crontabs provided in Debian packages now set the PATH.
- The missing column "privacy_flags" was added to table
"user_groups" (bug #2771)
That's all folks!
|issue with voting-system.sql during upgrade (posted by Mathieu Roy, Sat Sep 3 08:26:42 2005)
In some cases update/1.0.8/voting-system.sql can fail. If you are in this case, check bug #2839.

Herman Wouk to discuss latest novel on supercollider, April 26
Posted April 22, 2004; 02:38 p.m.
Herman Wouk, the acclaimed author of "The Caine Mutiny" and "The Winds of War," will deliver the physics department's 29th Donald Ross Hamilton Lecture at 8 p.m. Monday, April 26, in A02 McDonnell Hall.
Wouk will talk about his new novel, "A Hole in Texas," which was inspired by the history of the superconducting supercollider, a particle accelerator that was under construction in Texas when Congress ended its funding in 1993.
The novel tells the story of a fictional physicist, Guy Carpenter, whose quiet life becomes upended when he is drawn into an international controversy over the discovery of a fundamental subatomic particle. Wouk combines science, international intrigue and political commentary in a humorous piece of fiction that has a real-life story of physics at its root. Princeton physicists aided him in writing the book.
Wouk, who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and whose first novels drew on the experience, is known for his ability to combine rigorous historical research with compelling plots and humor. Wouk received the Pulitzer Prize for "The Caine Mutiny," which also became a classic film.
Donald Ross Hamilton was a member of Princeton's class of 1935 and went on to become the University's Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics and dean of the Graduate School. The public lecture series was established in Hamilton's honor after his death in 1972.

Ashenfelter receives 2003 IZA Prize in Labor Economics
Posted August 21, 2003; 11:46 a.m.
Princeton University economist Orley Ashenfelter has been selected to receive the 2003 IZA Prize in Labor Economics for his outstanding contributions to the field.
With support from the Deutsche Post Foundation, the Bonn-based Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) established the award in 2002 to underscore the central importance of labor economics in addressing international labor market challenges. Carrying a cash prize of 50,000 euros, it is one of the largest endowed international science awards. The official award ceremony will take place in Berlin on Sept. 22.
Ashenfelter is the Joseph Douglas Green 1895 Professor of Economics at Princeton. According to the Institute for the Study of Labor, "His intellectual work stands out due to his ingenuity in devising clever ways to derive and test hypotheses of economic models, his exceptional creativity in using and collecting data, and his originality in pioneering the natural experiment methodology. Ashenfelter's scholarly contributions have fundamentally transformed the analysis of labor markets. In a number of seminal articles he has broken new ground in various core areas of labor economics including research on trade unions, wages and employment, the analysis of labor supply, and the study of discrimination, education and training."
Ashenfelter, who earned his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1970, has taught at the University since 1968. He is president of the Society of Labor Economists and editor of the American Law and Economics Review.
Among the members of the IZA Prize Committee are three Nobel laureates: Gary Becker, a member of Princeton's class of 1951; James Heckman, who earned his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1971; and George Akerlof.More information on the award can be viewed on the IZA website .

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great report and don't feel guilty I have done similar things in the past (never this far North of course )
|Great report Scott. It is interesting when people plan trips like this that they have all the optimism in the world regarding the weather... and why not, you see all the blue skies and the guy standing on a windless flat. But you did well under the circumstance, and I always loved catching Jacks on a fly rod anyway.
True Confessions
Just got back from 4 days at Bahia Honda. Although we lucked out and dodged the wrath of Jeanne, we got enough wind/rain to render the flats unfishable most of our stay (the day we left conditions were perfect - figures!), so we turned to Plan B and fished protected water on the backside. I managed to get some mackerel, snapper and jacks on flies but no luck at all with tarpon. I tried everything I had - Deceivers, Clousers, wide-sides, poppers, crease flies, etc that I thought did a pretty good job of imitating the glass minnows, pilchards and sardines that they were feeding on; zippo. My partners, who had been through this before, had given up any pretext of decency and switched over to more "exacting" imitations, for which they were rewarded with a number of hookups. Although I have my standards when it comes to fishing (nothing but dry flies in Yellowstone), I had never hooked a tarpon before and it sure looked like fun. I finally weakened, drank the Kool-Aide and gave it a try, rationalizing that at least we were still using fly rods, although not in a manner that the folks at Sage or Orvis intended. It was a blast; I ended up catching 4, the biggest about 30 lbs and they all jumped like lunatics. I even got to be pretty proficient at using a casting net, although I did have to do some reef diving to pull it off when I snagged it. I guess my biggest concern was the amount of good Karma I used up by going "natural". Next time we get rain, I'm going to grab every worm off the sidewalk and make sure they are put back in the grass before they dry up.
ps - Now that I got that out of my system, next time I go I'll try and figure out what flies really work.
