There are a shocking number of familiar faces in this season's batch of new pilots (plus Dexter, because they love their guest stars). And we say familiar because it was only just last season that many of these actors — from Colin Hanks to Brittany Robertson – were trying to make it work on other sitcoms, dramas, and thrillers.

Enjoy this flavorful beef rib roast for a dinner – a delightful meal!
When buying the roast, look for it under several names: beef rib roast, standing rib roast or prime rib roast.
About 1 hour 30 minutes before beef is done, prepare and boil 8 medium potatoes as directed on page 589. For decorative potatoes, make crosswise cuts almost through whole potatoes to make thin slices and decrease boiling time to 10 minutes. Place potatoes in beef drippings in pan, turning to coat completely; or brush potatoes with melted butter and place on rack with beef. Continue cooking about 1 hour 15 minutes, turning potatoes once, until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
With roast on carving board, carefully cut bone portion away from meat.
Turn roast bone side down. Cut slices evenly and toward bone side of roast.

Forget the endless dust and the dead straight roads. Liz Light discovers the beauty of the Outback the fast way.
Ben, the pilot, swoops the plane low over the town of Parachilna. It doesn't look much from above: a road, a pub, half a dozen houses, a railway line and a bunch of dusty trees.
The airstrip, 15km away, belongs to Milpena Station.
Before the real approach Ben does a low buzz to scare off any kangaroos, emus, or iguanas that may cause a bumpy landing. Soon we are on the ground and I appreciate Ben's Outback-airstrip landing skills.
Air Adventure Australia specialises in small group air safaris to remote parts of Australia and, honestly, if I had to drive for days from Melbourne or hours from Adelaide I would not have made it to this unique and beautiful place.
Ross Fargher, fourth-generation station owner, farmer and, recently, tourist guide and publican meets us.
Ross looks the real rural deal with checked shirt, RM Williams boots, jeans and Akubra hat.
He's laconic, a cattle man at heart but station owners in the Flinders have had to diversify into tourism to keep their farms afloat. Ross explains that he has 200,000ha and runs 800 head of cattle.
Before the drought broke in 2007, his cattle numbers were down to 200 but subsequent good seasons are allowing stock numbers to increase.
He's not grumbling about his new career.
Ross and wife Jane have made a great job of reinvigorating Parachilna's Prairie Hotel, an exhausted old watering hole they bought in 1991 and turned into a quality boutique hotel, with gourmet feral food (yes, Jane has proved there is such a thing), while keeping its friendly Outback ambience.
The front bar stretches along the road, patrons stand around tall beer barrels and pass the time as the sun sinks low.
They watch galahs squawk in trees in front of the old, unused railway station. Though the station is closed the line isn't and every day the coal train from Leigh Creek mine to Port Augusta power station thunders by.
This is one big train. It's 2.9km long and takes five minutes to pass. Three giant locomotives pull 14,000 tonnes of coal loaded into super-size steel wagons.
The passing is surreal; it's so near, so noisy and so intense.
When it's gone the silence is hollow; patrons shake their heads and order another beer.
Dinner at the Prairie Hotel has its strange aspects, especially, conceptually, for vegetarian me. Jane has made an art form of gourmet feral and wild food. There is emu on the menu and my colleagues, who tuck in to camel sirloin, rack of goat, kangaroo stew and emu pate, say it's all superb.
A cacophony of weirdness enters my dreams. It's the early morning birdcall but, here, the sounds are of squawking, whooping, coughing, rasping and squeaking; everything but tweeting and trilling.
Flocks of galahs frolic in acacia trees, bright blue budgerigars fossick in dry grass, bobtails bob and numerous other species of bird do what they noisily do at dawn.
It's a grand time of the day for a walk and I follow a track nowhere in particular.
In the cool morning there is serenity in the flatness that goes on forever to the west and the thrill of a purple hill on the northern horizon.
The earth is ochre; parts of it are made damp and darker by a nighttime thunderstorm. Dry grass and grey green shrubs give a soft patina.
The sun is hot and high when Ross takes us east to the north Flinders Range. We follow Parachilna Creek into a crack in the wall of rock. Cliffs of rock, hundreds of shades of red and brown, are pushed up, broken, twisted and folded.
This is a geologist's paradise; the laying down, bending, bucking and wearing away of the Earth's crust is beautifully displayed on either side of the gorge.
On the valley floor red river gums grow.
These trees have shapely silver trunks and branches and, in patches, the soft white bark peels off to reveal a rich and intricately patterned underlay of red, pink and apricot.
Their grey-green leaves shine in the sun, there is a fuzz of blond grass below them and the air smells of eucalyptus.
We stop in a rocky valley. Walking quietly, it's easy to see the devil in the detail though, in this case, it's not the devil but a Flinders Range dragon sitting on a rock; head high and tail long, this stripy lizard looks at us, unblinking and fearless.
We also find a 20cm stumpy-tailed lizard; its name describes how it looks.
There is a yellow-footed rock wallaby just where it should be, sitting in the middle of a tumble of fallen rocks, and a daddy emu takes care of six chicks, pecking seeds and grasses, ambling along in a slow family group.
These animals are not frightened of us; they seem to know they live in a national park and won't turn up on a wild food menu.
The last treat on the journey is an airborne one. Ben takes the plane in a long looping turn over Wilpena Pound, an enormous natural amphitheatre in the middle of the Flinders Range.
This strange geographical formation is best viewed from above; it's an ovoid hollow of 80sq km and is entirely surrounded by steep protective cliffs, one of which, St Mary's Peak, is the highest point in South Australia.
Geologists have a long, logical explanation for this geographical phenomenon that does not include the crashing of a massive meteorite and other outer-space interventions.
Paranormal yarns about the formation of the Pound abound and given its visual, hollow-circle oddness it's tempting to believe them.
By mid-afternoon Wilpena Pound is behind us and we are winging it back to Melbourne a few million propeller turns and a couple of hours away.
I appreciate, yet again, how flying tourism eliminates the tyranny of distance and enables easy access to remarkable and remote places in the vast Outback.
Getting there: Qantas has three daily services to Melbourne from Auckland and a daily service from Wellington.
Air Adventure Australia offers small group-escorted air safaris to remote parts of Australia.
Where to stay: The Prairie Hotel at Parachilna is an iconic Outback boutique hotel famous for its feral food platters.
Liz Light travelled to Australia with the assistance of Tourism Australia.

July brings what we sometimes affectionately refer to as the "dog days" of summer. The symptoms are universal: sluggishness and fatigue often bringing about wanderlust for the mountains or the seashore. Taking a look at insider activity of late, it appears that the dog days have also hit insiders, who furthered the Neutral streak in their buying and selling according to a recent update by InsiderScore.
Unflinching, we did an industry drill down to see if any sector has warmed this summer and discovered that the healthcare segment saw a red hot June as insiders snapped up shares.
We took a look at Achillion Pharmaceuticals (ACHN) after two directors bought 40,000 shares for $394,800. Dennis Liotta bought 20,000 shares for $158,100 and Jason Fisherman bought 20,000 shares for $155,000. InsiderScore gave Liotta a nod, writing, "Liotta has been a smart buyer at Achillion in the past. He bought the same number of shares here, this time at a price 28% higher, which is the highest price he has paid for shares."
Synta Pharmaceuticals (SNTA) also caught our attention after four insiders, including the company's billionaire director Bruce Kovner bought over five million shares for $14.2 million. He was joined by Co-Founder and CEO Safi Bahcall, who bought 50,000 shares for $213,700.
Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) saw its director Anthony Chase buy 10,000 shares for $385,000. Sarepta saw a slight uptick in share price around this time after it announced positive results in a Phase 2b extension study involving the use of eteplirsen as a treatment for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
InsiderScore notes that in buying, Chase reversed sentiment, as he sold shares last year at a lower rate. "His move to buy shares here on strength in the stock shows strong conviction as the company once again reports positive data," writes InsiderScore.
Honorable mentions go out to Coronado Biosciences (CNDO), after its CEO Harlan Weisman and Jay Lobell, a longtime director, joined forces and bought 20,000 shares for $152,100; and to Anacor Pharmaceuticals (ANAC) after CFO Geoffrey Parker bought 33,000 shares for $224,300. InsiderScore noted that Parker's purchase was his largest to date and called it a "compelling positive event."
We'll try to keep on beating the summer heat here at Inside Scoop and we'll keep looking for those red hot buys.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
At this time, there are no screening tests or screening guidelines for erectile dysfunction.

I hate to lower the signal here, but I have to chime in on the 'Ultimate Band'.
Dictator and Composer: Frank Zappa
Lead Guitar: Jimmy Page
Rhythm Guitar: Keith Richards
Guitar Pyrotechnics: Eddie Van Halen
Bass: Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five)
Drums: Terry Bozio
Trumpet: Maynard Ferguson

The world lost a good man Sunday. …..This old world is big and full to bulging, yet there are so few truly good men.
Don Grierson was one. Don loved the old cowboy movie "Shane" and Hank Williams songs, which he played on the same Gibson guitar he'd had since he was 16. He could sing "Cold, Cold Heart" and "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You" and knew the entire recitative of "Be Careful of Stones That You Throw."
He spoke in a South Mississippi drawl so soft and low you sometimes had to lean in toward him to hear him. He didn't talk much, but, when he did, he had something to say. People who didn't know him well often underestimated him. Don thought we all should listen more and talk less.
He joked that he got his masters in English just so he could tell Yankees he had one. He was up in Knoxville finishing up on his doctorate when he got tired of the academic scene and came on home to enjoy another squirrel-hunting season.
Don Grierson was, to quote Kristofferson, a walking contradiction – a small man who loomed large, an academic whose passion was duck hunting, a voracious reader of poetry, periodicals and Shakespeare who also loved TV's "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Don grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, which changed dramatically after his boyhood. His stories of a Huck Finn childhood sounded too good to be true, and the names of his friends – Gator and Luray, Marvin Earl and Scooter – added fictional flair to his memories. He felt most at home in recent years in Southwest Louisiana, which Don frequently compared to the Mississippi of his youth. He liked the informality of the place, the fact that neighbors would stop by without phoning, and that Cajun cooks knew you are supposed to fry seafood.
He was the least materialistic person I've ever known, his one luxury being a convertible car he bought after retirement. Before that, he drove the same Dodge truck for 20 years. He had shirts in the closet that were 30 years old.
Don did not suffer fools, and he never mistook acquaintances for friends. But the friends he had – most of them for decades – were loyal to him in a way that makes most of us envious. One of his best buddies, for instance, was a former reporter Don fired while he was managing editor of The Natchez (Miss.) Democrat. Instead of hating Don, the discharged reporter took Don's journalism course when he began his teaching career at Mississippi State. And they remained fast friends.
Nobody could hate Don.
Don had a bad year last year. He lost his older brother, Buba, whom he loved beyond reason. He lost his former wife, Pat, who was an accomplished poet and English teacher and, typically, remained good friends with Don. Don's bad heart was taxed by these losses, but he also had much to live for.
We were planning to drive to Canada this summer, and to host friends from France. Don loved our dogs and me and proved it in a million quiet ways. Our life together the past 16 years was one of travel and reading and music on the porch. We had it made, and most days realized it. When I'd fret over something that couldn't be helped or fixed, Don would gently say, "Let's just try to have fun."
Many of my friends I don't know by name. You read this column and follow my meandering thoughts on the days when I write. You tolerate my politics.
Some days it's tougher to write than others. I need for you to indulge me again, today, as I deal with the hardest loss I've ever been dealt.
Take this advice from your friend: Love your mate as well and as hard as you possibly can.

Victorian-born, New Zealand artist James Peele visited Perth in 1898. Mount Eliza, winter is his only known painting of Perth. It is a view of the Swan River near the Narrows, showing people fishing, with Mount Eliza to the right and Mill Point to the left. Peel depicted the scene on an unusually cloudy day, and delighted in the reflections on the glassy water.

Family: Mimidae, Mockingbirds and Thrashers view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mostly brown upperparts, including tail, but with bold white wing bars. Face is gray, iris is reddish orange, and bill is downcurved. Underparts are whitish, but with bold, black teardrop streaks. JUVENILE Similar to adult.
Dimensions Length: 11" (28 cm)
Habitat Resident of dense, woodland thickets; Lower Rio Grande Valley is a hotspot.
Observation Tips Singing males are fairly easy to see in spring.
Range Texas, Southeast
Voice Song is a series of rapid, chirping and fluty whistles, given with gusto; call is a sharp tsuup.
Discussion Structurally similar to Brown Thrasher (with which range overlaps slightly in winter), but lacks that species' reddish brown coloration overall; instead, plumage is grayer and cleaner-looking. Bill is also appreciably longer than Brown's and behavior is even more secretive, except when males are singing in early spring. Sexes are similar.

For anyone searching for Mudflap now:
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Mudflap is pretty rare, it looks like 100% of the brick-n-mortar orders on him went straight to liquidators.
I like the line enough that I have these 4, and in order of recommendation they'd go Jazz, Barricade, Bumblebee, Sideswipe - Sideswipe is really great as a car, but only so-so as a bot. Mudflap and Skids I can't speak to, but I hear they're ok if you can get past their looks.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
1) I'm an Autobot fan. I've loved Optimus Prime since I was a kid. I dig the Autobots and liked Wheeljack and Ironhide, Kup, Hot Rod (unless he's the leader - can't stand Rodimus Prime), Ultra Magnus, Springer, and Hound.
2) I like it in a COLLECTION like Human Alliance, best, when Autobots wage their battle against the evil forces of the DECEPTICONS.
3) Barricade alone will not cut it for the enemy force in this line.
4) Rampage and Sideways are the right size to add more Decepticons to this scale range without a price and packaging size increase. They can be the HUMAN NEMESIS line, and include Legends Ravage, Deluxe Scorpinok, human figure of Alice (Isabel Lucas, TF:ROTF), as well as robot figure of Alice (like HA Frenzy pack-in)
5) I would pay a price increase and welcome a packaging size increase for larger HUMAN NEMESIS figures (perhaps with human holograms) like Bonecrusher, Long Haul, Mixmaster, or Demolisher. If they up the price and package size, they can eventually do Prime and Ironhide HA figures as well.
But I doubt this will happen, so I return to my point about Sideways and Rampage in the normal size range for this line.
6) With the line possibly continuing - it will be TF: DSOFTM Autobots that we get, most likely - the Ferrari (cool though - and maybe with Carly) and the wreckers (I think that's an auto-racing term, not a TF character classification, but I'm not sure). I don't know if the wreckers are Autobots or Decepticons, but one is done to the extreme in Smoekscreen's exact colors, so I'm leaning to that being this particular Autobot, but don't know that for sure yet.

I learned something rather interesting, and by accident, today.
First, The Hub appears to be skipping episodes and possibly airing them out of order (tough to tell, as my guide doesn't show any info beyond next Wednesday at the moment). I noticed Skyfire just sort of shows up in today's ep ("The Ultimate Doom," Pt. 2), and everyone's sort of, "Yo, hey, Skyfire, what's up, bro?" Only Skyfire was "dead" in "Fire in the Sky," which aired last Wednesday, IIRC. I vaguely remembered Sideswipe digging him out of the ice from another episode when I was a kid. Sure enough, a quick search revealed there were a few episodes missing from Hub's lineup.
Second, I discovered that the Kid Rhino DVDs were shoddy. Really shoddy. The masters were in poor shape, and Rhino attempted to reconstruct them using unreleased test animation and hasty fixes. As a result, there are an insane amount of errors, which weren't in the originals: missing blast effects, missing facial features, reversed or flipped scenes, wrong sound effects, and more miscolorations than the original. Shout Factory apparently compared the Kid Rhino "restorations" to tapes of the originals and fixed most of these errors. (Hmm, maybe I should buy those after all, and I'm guessing the same applies to GIJoe.)
I checked on two errors that stood out in "SOS Dinobots" from Thursday. (I don't know why errors from one of last week's eps stood out more than those from today, but it probably relates to the debut of Grimlock.) First, I'd noticed that the blasts from the Dinobot's mouths were gone when they destroyed the rubble; I'd figured last week that I just mis-remembered the scene. Also, the Autobots drive up to the dam as cars, and are seen individually transforming to robot mode... only Bluestreak was reversed, so he drove up as a car, transformed from a robot to a car, and was immediately seen as a robot in a crowd shot.
Both of these errors only appear in the Kid Rhino releases. And on the Hub episodes. Which means that The Hub is airing the inferior Kid Rhino versions.
Which begs the question: If Hasbro owns the Transformers, and shares ownership of The Hub, why would they air a flawed version of the show in an incorrect (or partial) order that makes it appear there are continuity errors that don't actually exist?
That's my jacket!
So one moral of Chux's story is that if I want to buy these episodes in the store, I should get the Shout Factory ones - whcih seem to be what Target and Wal-Mart are currently carrying, right?

What company made the complete box set edition?
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
The Rhini DVDs were made several years ago and have been OOP for a while. They might've had a complete box, but the only one I'm sure of is the Shout Factory version.
Tycho, you won't see the Rhino ones in the stores anymore. They're long gone.
That's my jacket!
I found and bought Tomahawk from the Movie Deluxe line today.
I've not transformed him yet but will offer further comments when I do.
I'm watching the DVD box sets.
I like "Skyfire" aka - Jetfire.
You know, I didn't pay attention but did they start calling him Jetfire in his 2nd cartoon appearance or was he still Skyfire?
BTW: How rude were the Autobots? They dig him out of the ice and don't even say "Welcome back," but instead say "Brawn and Swerve need a ride to Peru. You're flying them there. Get moving!"
I saw the Dinobots introduction, too. If we had Wheeljack in the live-action movies, they could pull this off. Meanwhile, besides Ratchet, who would need some help (like from Wheeljack) - what movie character is capable of making the Dinobots? We don't know enough about Jolt - except that he's not Wheeljack and Wheeljack is rumored to be appearing in TF3: TDOTM. If he is the Mercedes sports car I just saw the other day - I took a picture of it too - then he'll be awesome. It's a sweet car for his alt-mode and I don't know if Lotus is still even producing cars. If they are, I think that Michael Bay found Mercedes to be cheaper, and possibly more of a consumer car that might sponsort TF3 for some advertising by an appearance.
Anyway, no Dinobots in TF3, but if the make TF4, once Wheeljack has been introduced (if he's true to his G1 character) then they are a possibility.

He was always "Skyfire" in the cartoon. The toy was named "Jetfire" for trademark issues, like why they've recently been giving Jazz a title, like "Autobot".
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!

Francis would have been nice to keep around but V. Martin who plays both DE and DT made him expendable this year. It is all about winning now not next year or the year after its all about this year. Would I have kept Francis over like Kaddu or Jones this year sure. On the DB front we know there are injury concerns and on LB I am not sure yet but we will see.
Philbin and Ireland want to win now knowing their futures are tied to the win column too. Just something to think about.

Vayansky selected as director of Richardson
Posted January 22, 2007; 07:00 a.m.
Delia Vayansky, a member of Princeton University's Richardson Auditorium staff since 2004, has been named director of the facility.
Vayansky, who has more than 15 years of arts administration experience, had served as acting director of Richardson since October. Before that, she was associate director of the auditorium.
In her new role, she will be responsible for the administration, planning, scheduling, marketing and promotion as well as the provision of facilities, technical and other support for events in Richardson, which is located in Alexander Hall on the campus. The 885-seat facility is a fully-equipped performing arts venue that also hosts many official University ceremonies and functions including, for example, in recent months, a concert by the Princeton University Orchestra, a lecture by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the University's annual Martin Luther King Day celebration.
"Delia is a highly skilled arts administrator who is client centered and valued by our campus community," said Paul Breitman, general manager of University Services, to whom Vayansky reports.
From 1990 to 2004, Vayansky was assistant production manager at McCarter Theatre in Princeton. She is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, and recently completed the Management Development Certificate Program offered through Princeton's Office of Human Resources.
Vayansky succeeds Jennifer Sorgatz, who took a position with the National Geo-Spatial Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C.

What a cruel way to wake up. Stupid Cardinals.
"....the two players I liked watching the most were Barry Larkin and Eric Davis. I was suitably entertained by their effortless skill that I didn't need them crashing into walls like a squirrel on a coke binge." - dsmith421
Woke up to this and not suprised. I actually have a freindly wager (made 2 weeks ago) that the Cards would be the NL representative in the WS. One step closer to unfathomable wealth .
I get rivalries, but I certainly don't get the hatred thrown at the Cardinals. I get the dislike for Carpenter, but the rest of that squad seem like fairly decent kids. Maybe I'm not close enough to the team to know.
Good season to the Nats. Suprised me.
This place use to be fun
But this year's one game winner-take-all WC game was stupid IMO. This is baseball, not football.
I'm old school.... I liked having two divisions in each league and the winners played each other for the pennant. But those days are lonnng gone, never to return because of M-O-N-E-Y.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
Somebody's going to have to detonate something in the Cards dugout to knock them out of the playoffs.
Going back to September of 2011, the way that team has stayed alive has been incredible. No team I'd rather see lose (OK, except the Yankees), but you have to give them a lot of credit for persevering and prevailing the way they have.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
I'm not a huge fan of wild cards, but the Cardinals were second in the NL in run differential. If the Cards are the NL rep in the WS, its not as outrageous as many are making it out to be.
I think if you have to have a wild card, penalizing them by making them play in a one and done game that the division winners aren't subjected to is better than one where they are bascally treated equally to the division winners.

Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
It is pointless to root against the Cardinals.
And hating them seems petty and futile to me.
They continue to do what we cannot do and we are jealous.
Cardinals fans must bathe in glitter and sleep with unicorns.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

I have been working my way through the Winter 2008 issue of Turkey & Turkey Hunting magazine, since its arrival a few days ago.
Once again, I find it to be one of the very best hunting magazines on the market today. I really like the variety of subject matter that's covered and the different approaches that different authors take to their subjects.
I took special interest the article "Best of Both Worlds" by Jim Schlender. For several years now, I've shared a concern with several others about an obsession with "killing paper" and the quest to see how many holes a shooter can put in some sized circle at 40 yards.
A sport that I have participated in for several years, still target shooting, was begun about 18 years ago to hopefully raise awareness of the importance of patterning your shotgun. It also had as a goal, inspiring the manufacturers of shotshells, choke tubes and shotguns to make more efficient and effective products for cleanly killing a turkey at all ethical ranges.
That sport, plus good magazine articles like those that have appeared in T&TH over the years, helped to inspire many shooters to pattern their guns. Out of that came a group of folks that shoot more at paper than at turkeys and are after a shell that will deliver more and more holes in paper.
Shooting at paper is something that I spend a lot of time doing myself. The purpose of my shooting is to test a new or existing shotshell, choke tube or shotgun. That may be to see how a particular combination works, in response to a request from a manufacturer or a reader of http://www.allaboutshooting.com I always try to remember that for most folks, it's what will work in the field for them to cleanly kill a turkey at a maximum range of 40 yards.
I shoot many rounds downrange each year and mostly at 40 yards. I believe that I can be very accurate in my estimation of distance but I know that I can also make a mistake. I have confidence in the combined effect of a "swarm" of #6 shot at 40 yards and even a bit beyond if I misjudge the distance. I'm not so confident of a load of #7 shot, should I make that same error in judgement.
I remind myself that killing paper and killing turkeys are two different diciplines and that the quick, certain and humane kill is what we as hunters should always seek. If we have any doubt about that whatsoever, we should not take the shot.

International Multidisciplinary Metadata Workshop
International Multidisciplinary Metadata Workshop
Thursday, January 18, 2007 8:30 – 5:00 pm West Ridge Research Building Room 010 University of Alaska Fairbanks Fairbanks, Alaska
These days metadata are a requirement for sound science and for receiving federal and other funding. They are part of being a good citizen and represent a global set of "Best Professional Practices;" they are manifested already as binding ISO standards. However, the tools, software, expertise, infrastructure and awareness to achieve good metadata are often missing.
This free workshop promotes metadata creation across various disciplines (terrestrial, marine, arctic, boreal, tropical, ecology, sensors, remote sensing, GIS, biodiversity, statistical models) so that students, faculty, agency employees, contractors and other interested parties understand the required steps, the whys and the hows to assemble metadata according to FGDC, NBII and IPY standards. We will cover links with GBIF, OBIS, ITIS (Canada and U.S.), and the requirements brought by NSF and ISO. Metadata creation tools, such as Metavist, TKME, NPS tool, ArcGIS/Catalogue and SMMS and metadata formats, for example, XML and EML, will be covered.
The workshop will include presentations, hands-on sessions, shared experiences, and discussions with the participants and experts in the field. The goal of this workshop is to cover the standards and tools that will enable the audience to create their own high-quality metadata. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data to the workshop so that they can learn to use the tools with familiar data.
The cost of the workshop is free, but please register by sending email to: Rebecca Koskela ( email@example.com ). Questions about this workshop can be sent to Falk Huettmann ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) or Rebecca Koskela.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are down $6.22, or almost 6%, at $209.38, after Bernstein Research's Carlos Kirjner cut his rating on the shares to Underperform from Market Perform, while at the same time raising his price target to $180 from $125, writing that the company it set to grow its subscriber base and expand its margins, but that the stock valuation "reflects unrealistic expectations."
BlackBerry (BBRY) stock is up 24 cents, or 1.7%, at $14.34, after receiving a number of encouraging reports this morning continuing the theme that there may be upside to this Friday's fiscal Q1 report.
Citigroup's Jim Suva, reiterating a Sell rating, and a $10 price target, writes that "potential for sell in ahead of global Z10 availability & Q10 launch (in UK, Canada, Germany and Australia during late April/early May and in US, India and Africa in late May to mid June) could result in a positive surprise to units that were sold into the channel," even though he's modeling only $3.31 billion in revenue and break-even on the profit line, below the $3.4 billion revenue consensus, but below the 5-cent profit estimate."
Suva notes that "Given the high level of short interest (shares shorted up 25-30%), we could see a short squeeze on upside surprise to sell in units."
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down 59 cents at $401.95, after Ittai Kidron of Oppenheimer & Co. reiterated an Outperform rating,a nd a $460 price target, but cut his estimates for this quarter to $35 billion and $7.23 per share in net profit from a prior $36 billion and $7.43, writing that sales of the iPhone 4 and 4S are "steady," according to his "checks," but that sales of the iPhone 5 are "mixed," causing him to cut total iPhone units to 26 million. He also trimmed his September-quarter estimate, but expects the next iPhone and iPad upgrades to drive the stock higher.
Shares of Fusion-IO (FIO) are up 59 cents, ver 4%, at $13.68, after UBS's Steve Milunovich this morning reiterated a Buy rating, and a $19 price target, writing that despite turmoil in the shares since founder David Flynn departed, Fusion "has a window of opportunity as a category creator." He sees revenue growth this fiscal year of 20% and 30% in 2014 "as core customers grow 40% and strategic names rebound to up 14%."
The Street today is reflecting on the impending one-year anniversary of Yahoo! (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer as the company holds its annual shareholder meeting.
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster reiterates a Neutral rating, writing that Mayer "has arguably done more to strengthen Yahoo! from a product standpoint through new focus on mobile and the acquisition of Tumblr than the two CEOs before her."
"However, we believe it is hard for internet brands to turn around, noting both AOL and MySpace have failed to meaningfully rejuvenate user numbers and brands. The bottom line is that we remain cautious on calling the turn-around before seeing more solid evidence that it is underway."
Needham & Co.'s Alex Henderson reflects on the "Cisco Live" partner event Cisco Systems (CSCO) is hosting this week, writing that a great deal of focus will be on software: " The trade show is organized around a series of product areas including SDN, UCS, Cloud orchestration software, collaboration, wireless networking, mobile software, video and elastic cloud technologies."
Cisco shares are 27 cents, or 1%, at $24.32.
Speaking of software, UBS's Milunovich notes press reports that EMC (EMC) is considering spending $200 million to $300 million to purchase Israel's ScaleIO, which whose "Elastic Converged Storage (ECS) is a software-only approach to building a SAN pool by logically combining existing SAN boxes, such as VMAX."
"It is a software-only solution that uses application hosts' local disks to realize a virtual SAN that the company says is comparable to or better than external SAN storage at a fraction of the cost and complexity," writes Milunovich.
EMC shares are up 3 cents at $23.75.

Comment Re:Went over my head. (Score 5, Interesting) 593
Emotion is a fact.
I take from this short statement the same sentiment that Bruce Schneier was speaking about, when he stopped whining about how everything "security theater" was completely irrelevant, and started exploring the real and tangible impact and importance of the feeling of safety IN ADDITION TO actual safety controls. You cannot just dismiss grandma's warm and fuzzy acceptance of strict authoritarian searches, you have to actually include it in the calculus, the whole of which can inform the security methodology.
Security is both a feeling and a reality. The propensity for security theater comes from the interplay between the public and its leaders. When people are scared, they need something done that will make them feel safe, even if it doesn't truly make them safer. Politicians naturally want to do something in response to crisis, even if that something doesn't make any sense.
Religion is the same: you can't just dismiss religion, it's a palpable phenomenon for a large number of stakeholders. Often, you can coexist with their philosophy while still doing real science. Galileo wasn't locked up in house arrest for his science, he was locked up for being an ass to the church. The church actually had little problem with the already-common views on the shape of the solar system, and would have "come around" on the matter much faster without his goading.

The USB problems all over again... The closer we get to a 2.4 kernel release the less likely it is that the EPSON scanners will work with USB in 2.4. I am desperately looking for somebody who can fix this problem. It seems to be caused by UHCI, at least I have only receveived problem reports from people running UHCI interfaces. If anybody is using an EPSON USB scanner with an OHCI interface, please let me know.
Unfortunately on the USB development list there was not too much feedback whenever somebody brought up this problem. The really odd thing is that it only seems to happen with EPSON scanners, every other scanner seems to work. The same goes for for all other bulk devices. But the fact that it worked with 2.3.39 is enough reason to believe that it's not related to my code or to the scanner.
I'm still wainting for the Perfection 610 scanner that's being supplied by EPSON. They confirmed my shipping address and my phone number two days ago, so I'm hoping the scanner is on it's way by now.
On a different, but related subject: I received the colorimeter that I bought on EBay. Unfortunately (or to be honest as I expected) it does not work and will not work with Linux. The company is not releasing any information about the communication protocol and my first experiments don't look promising: The device seems to send raw data to the Windows software, which is then calculating the colorimetric values. So without knowing the protocol and the exact specification of the sensor it's not possible to impement a Linux solution. BTW, the device is a ColorSavvy ColorMouseToo!.
With this colorimeter I hope to do something for a more accurate color on the scanning and the printing end. And while I'm on my soap box, check out the Gimp Print Plugin and the SANE EPSON backend.

I have just woken up from a dream, and I wish I could give you a coherent picture of it.
It began with a scene from a later Harry Potter book, not one that exists in reality. Soon I realised that it didn't make much sense. But this was soon followed by the revelation that Harry Potter, as a whole, was a hoax. None of the story ever happened. Now, in the waking world, most people know that Harry Potter is fiction. But in the dream, people were shocked, and started making death threats against J.K.Rowling. It was only made clear in a conference held after the final book.
Soon afterwards it came out that another major multi-volume series was also a hoax, to similar results. (I forget which it was; in the dream it was another one about as famous that I'd read.) And then a third series, although that one was translated from Russian and I was only keeping up with it by reading the summaries online so that I could talk as if I'd read it.
You have to understand that these three successive revelations were bombshells not just to the literary world but to the world in general. They were front-page news for weeks.
And then, less than a week after these three stories had come out in quick succession, I found myself at a writers' conference where the three hoaxes were to be discussed. The eyes of the world were on this conference, and most news organisations had at least one representative there. What was to be done? What could be done?
brainwane stood up to give a speech on the matter, and it happened that I was the first to realise. There hadn't been three hoaxes. There had been one hoax. Rowling and the others were inventions or dupes of Sumana; she had arranged all three series, and all the films, and the faked deaths of many major players in the literary field and beyond, and several believable scenes in the lives of people involved, including my own, over many years, merely in order to tell a good story. Each discredited series was a necessary part in the metanarrative, and highlighted a different part of the human condition. And she was explaining where all the pointers to this had been buried since the beginning, and how we should all have known.
I should have been angry, but instead I was full of admiration.

"fast for a white receiver" Sound familiar? Imagine what would happen if someone said RG3 "has a good arm for a black quarterback"
Im not saying its blatant racism but Ive seen Hartline be asked about his speed all season, ive seen his team mates asked what its like playing with a "white reciever" and it actually rather sickens me. As Devon Bess said "Hartline's speed is "definitely" overlooked since he's white."
No im not trying to label certain journalists racist against white players, but this attitude towards Hartline and other players (such as the running back Hillis) quite annoys me. If football is meant to be colourless why does that not apply to white players as well as black?
Maybe im on my own in this one and just seem bitter Was wondering what you guys think?

|Finney's stunt double
|The Enterprise is at Starbase 12 for repairs after passing through a severe ion storm, resulting in significant damage and the loss of one crew member. Kirk is in the Starbase Commander's office making a report about the incident, in which he states that Records Officer Ben Finney was in the ship's ion pod taking readings during the storm. The pod has to be jettisoned during a heavy storm, something that is done when Red Alert is sounded. Kirk says that he did this but that for some reason Finney remained in the pod and was jettisoned with it. Finney's daughter Jamie arrives, tearful and blaming Kirk for the accident that killed her father. They comfort the girl and Spock escorts her out.
However, when Spock beams down with the computer records of the incident Commodore Stone reviews them and finds that Kirk actually ejected the pod during Yellow Alert. The action would constitute gross negligence on Kirk's part, prompting Stone to confine Kirk to the base and begin an official inquiry.
Kirk and McCoy head to the Starbase bar for a drink, finding several people from Kirk's graduating class at the academy there. Some of them make rather barbed comments about Finney's death, obviously believing Kirk to be guilty. Kirk leaves alone, and McCoy encounters Areel Shaw, an old friend of Kirks.
In Stone's office, Kirk arrives for a meeting about the inquiry. The evidence against him seems concrete, with the records clearly stating that he jettisoned the pod before sounding red alert. Kirk also has a history with Finney. When they were young they were close friends, with Finney even naming his daughter Jamie for Kirk. However, when they served together on the USS Republic Finney left a circuit open on the atomic matter piles by mistake. If it hadn't been noticed and corrected by Kirk the mistake would have destroyed the whole ship. He logged the incident, which led to Finney being given an official reprimand and his name being put at the bottom of the promotion list. Finney never progressed all that far in Starfleet after this, something he blamed Kirk for.
Kirk maintains that this made absolutely no difference to him. He followed procedure during the storm, exactly as he was supposed to, and has no explanation for how the pod was ejected with Finney inside it. Stone suggests that the stress of command has worn Kirk down, prompting him to make a mistake that anybody could have made. Stone offers Kirk the chance to retire quietly, avoiding the bad publicity of a court martial. Instead Kirk angrily dismisses the idea of any kind of cover up and demands to have his day in court.
Later he meets Areel Shaw and they chat about the case and his attitude towards it. She tells him that the prosecution will frame the issue as his word versus the computer record, and on that basis he cannot possibly win. She suggests an attorney for him, one Samuel T. Cogley. When Kirk asks how she seems to know so much about what the prosecution will do she confesses that she is the prosecution, and will try her very best to break Kirk out of Starfleet in disgrace for the good of the service.
Kirk goes to see Cogley, finding him to be a rather old fashioned individual who refuses to use his computer in favour of a huge library of actual physical books. The two get on well and Kirk takes him on to defend him. The case begins, with Shaw calling Spock for questioning. She suggests that Kirk made a mistake during the ion storm, but Spock replies flatly that, whilst he did not personally observe what Kirk did during the storm, it is impossible that the Captain could have acted unprofessionally as it is simply not in his nature. Next Shaw calls a personnel officer to testify about the incident on the Republic and Finney's attitude towards Kirk. She moves on to McCoy, asking him if it isn't possible that Kirk grew to hate Finney as much as Finney hated Kirk. McCoy admits that this is a possibility, whilst trying to defend the captain. In each case Cogley makes no effort to rebut the witnesses, not asking a single question.
Cogley Kirk to the stand and puts the vital question to him - what did he do during the storm. Kirk explains his actions, stating that they were in line with procedure all the way. He assigned Finney to the job because his name was next in line on the duty roster, regardless of any personal feelings. He jettisoned the pod after calling red alert. He states that he has absolutely no doubt that he would do the exact same thing again in the circumstances.
Shaw cross examines by playing the video log of the event. It does indeed show that Kirk went to yellow alert, then jettisoned the pod before declaring a red alert. Kirk is stunned, whispering that "that's not the way it happened!" They break for the day, leaving Kirk despondent as even Cogley begins to doubt him.
On the Enterprise Spock has examined the computer and can find no problem with it. An idea occurs to him and he goes to the rec room to play several games of chess against the computer. McCoy is appalled at this apparent lack of concern for Kirk, but Spock points out that he has won four games in a row. This should not be possible, since Spock programmed the computer and it thus has an equal understanding of the game. The only explanation is that the computer has been tampered with in some fashion.
The court begins again, and Spock and McCoy arrive to inform Cogley of their findings. He argues that Kirk has been denied one of his basic rights - the right to face his accuser, the Enterprise computer. In an impassioned speech he demands that the court reconvene on the Enterprise so that the machine can be challenged - not to do so, he argues, effectively elevates the machine to a status greater than man. Stone agrees and they move to the ship. Spock explains his experiment with the chess program and the implications that the computer must have been tampered with. The only people capable of doing such a thing are Spock, Kirk, or a qualified records officer. Cogley asks Kirk about his actions after the pod was jettisoned and learns that he had a phase one search performed. Such a search is aimed at finding an injured or lost person, and assumes that they would not be trying to evade the search. Cogley concludes that Finney may not actually be dead, but rather hiding aboard the ship. They evacuate the Enterprise of all crew and then activate a highly sensitive sound sensor, which detects the heartbeats of all present. McCoy uses a device to mask the heartbeat of all those on the bridge, and to their surprise one heartbeat remains - Finney is alive, and hiding aboard ship. Kirk goes to find Finney whilst Cogley goes to run an errand of his own on the planet. Finney is quickly located, obviously lost in madness, raving about how he will have revenge over the Captain who betrayed him. He reveals that he has tampered with the engines, and the Enterprise is rapidly falling into the atmosphere of the planet. However, Cogley has returned with his daughter Jamie. The prospect of losing her sends Finney over the endue, giving Kirk the chance to overcome him. He tells Kirk how he sabotaged the ship and Kirk is able to repair the damage in time for the Enterprise to regain orbit.
Exonerated in the most dramatic fashion possible, Kirk resumes his command. He parts on good terms with Areel, smiling as he finds that Cogley has taken on his next case - defending Finney himself for his crimes.
|The Savage Curtain
|Genghis Khan's stunt double
|Abraham Lincoln appears flaoting in space before the Enterprise (!). Understandably surprised, Kirk accepts the former president aboard the ship and gives him a guided tour. Lincoln invites Kirk and Spock to beam down to Exo III, a planet utterly hostile to Human life except for an unexplanable "oasis" spot on the surface. The invitation is accepted, and the officers beam down. They are met by an Excalbian, a silicon being who informs them that his people wish to investigate the Human concepts of good and evil to discover which is stronger. The good are to be represented by Kirk and Spock, Lincoln and Surak of Vulcan; their evil opponents are Ghengis Khan, Kahless the Unforgettable, Zora and Colonel Green. The aliens threaten to destroy the Enterprise in a matter of hours unless Kirk wins the battle.
The two groups skirmish on the surface, improvising weapons from whatever materials are to hand. Eventually Kirk and Spock manage to prevail, and the Excalbians release them and free the Enterprise to continue on its way.

Don't look now but China's solar stocks are still getting a boost from China's decision to increase funding to the sector.
Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) has advanced 1.8% today, Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. (YGE), which may be the biggest beneficiary of the announcement, has climbed 5.5%, and JA Solar Holdings (JASO) has advanced 3.8%. LDK Solar (LDK), meanwhile, has jumped 6%, while Suntech Power Holdings (STP) has surged 8.3%.
In hindsight, yesterday's weakness appears to have been a buying opportunity for investors willing to put up with the massive volatility in the China's solar stocks.
It probably doesn't hurt that solar has been getting some decent press recently–at least compared to past news. SolarCity's initial public offering has been deemed a success, after jumping nearly 59% from its offering price of $8, despite having to reduce its initial price from the $13 to $15 range.
Perhaps, after a year of heavy selling, the industry has found a bottom? Anyone want to bet on it?

There is a foreign-policy god. And it is she who must deserve thanks for halting the Obama administration's incantations about "pivoting" from Europe to Asia. The recent silence on this shift came about not just because the G8 meeting of major economic powers was scheduled for last week at Camp David, and that most of the eight were European. It wasn't that the NATO summit was set for Chicago for Saturday and Sunday, and that most alliance members were also European. Nor has the Obama team altered its plans to move some U.S. security resources from an unthreatened Europe to an uncertain Asia; of course that has to be done.
Enlightenment was advanced when administration leaders realized they had gratuitously offended European allies and gratuitously provided Beijing's hawks with ammunition to argue that America was formally and openly instituting a policy of containing China. The Obama team's minds were surely jolted when so many privately expressed unhappiness about the provocative public pivot. Beyond all these considerations, I'd like to believe there was a deeper reason for silencing the idea. I'd like to believe that the recently and now oft proclaimed geniuses of administration foreign policy saw the light: Europe Plus, i.e., Europe along with Japan, Australia, Canada, and Israel, should—on the merits—remain the rock of U.S. national-security strategy.

Chance meeting leads to a lifetime of collecting seedsFebruary 7, 2014 11:23 PM
I had never seen anything like the shiny black seeds that covered Bob Janca's kitchen table back in 1985. They were 'Cherokee Trail of Tears' pole bean seeds, and they were my introduction to heirlooms and seed saving.
The two of us hit it off while we talked about his collection of heritage seeds, and he gave me a small packet as I left his house in Spencer, Ohio. Every season since I've grown 'Cherokee Trail of Tears' from seeds I saved the year before. The bean is prolific and beautiful. It has a wonderfully unique nutty flavor.
It started a seed-saving obsession that threatened to grow out of control. In the corner of my basement, old metal shelves were filled with an odd selection of glass jars jammed with seeds. There are big and small Mason jars, old baby food containers and even some pickle jars.
In an effort to clean house and figure out what was still good for planting, I carried every one of those jars upstairs one day recently. The entire dining room table was crowded with 30 or so jars filled with thousands of old seeds. Even though I had this stockpile of seeds in the basement, I was still ordering new and different varieties each season from a multitude of seed catalogs. It was time to get them organized and then plant as many as possible. What doesn't get planted will be given away.
There's no way to tell if seed is still viable by looking at it. One thing is for sure: Fresh seed is always the best. But there's still life left in many of these varieties.
To test their germination rates, I took about 10 seeds, put them on a wet paper towel and sealed them in a plastic bag. The bag goes on top of the refrigerator (where it's warm), and then in a week or so it's time to see what percentage sprouted. If it's lower than 50 percent, they go into the compost. If it's higher, they can be planted.
The stash of seeds also told a story, the history of what I found interesting to grow and save. I found thousands of tithonia 'Torch' seeds, also known as Mexican sunflower. 'Torch' can reach 10 feet or taller and is filled with deep orange 3-inch blooms that are irresistible to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
'Cherry Blossom' salvia was one of my favorite annuals for years, providing pretty pink blossoms all summer long. I guess I just forgot about it, lately falling in love with varieties like 'Wendy's Wish.'
One packet was filled with 'Hungarian Ox Heart' tomato seeds, sent from a reader a decade ago. I remember how much I loved the tomato, which was meaty, thin-skinned and delicious. There were hundreds of other packets; seeing some was like being reunited with an old friend. Others brought back no memories at all. I even found some of the original pole bean seeds I received from Mr. Janca. I never plant every seed in a packet in case of crop failure.
When I first started saving seeds, they were organized by type. One jar held tomato seeds, another peppers. I've decided to change the way I store seeds. Now they are sorted by the date they were planted. One bag is filled with inside sowed flowers, another with spring outdoor seeds and so on. I think it will allow me to get more seeds planted and avoid overlooking varieties.
The most important aspect of saving seeds is to avoid moisture. Silica gel is a powder I use to keep the seeds dry in storage. Some seed savers bring their seeds upstairs for a few days during the winter when the air is dry in the house. Then they will seal them back up and store them somewhere cool and dark.
With all my seeds in order, now in plastic bags, they'll be kept in a covered plastic bin until it's time to get them started. I'm thrilled to see many of my old favorites, and I'm looking forward to trying the forgotten varieties, too.
Over the years, I have searched for Mr. Janca on the Internet. I recently stumbled onto his obituary -- he died four years ago. I never got a chance to tell him what meeting him meant to me.
As I was getting my seeds organized, I found one small jar filled with 'Cherokee Trail of Tears' pole bean seeds. My oldest son, who was 5 then, helped me save them. I can still remember how he carefully printed his name on the label. He's now 30. Maybe he'll help me plant them this spring in honor of Janca.
Every season brings with it hope. But this one will also be filled with the memories of a lifetime saving seeds and the man who introduced me to a love of heirlooms.

Hello! I'm Raven and a single mum of four. This is a great forum for women who just needs a little bit of guidance and support.
I have a bachelor's degree in nursing myself but I got sidetracked and landed with a different profession
My youngest was born at home - no meds, no anaesthetic, all natural and it was the best experience, ever!
Being a single mother is not exactly a walk in the park and I am hoping I can learn from others and perhaps share some of my experiences
28th November 2013 07:28 AM #381
Hi Raven,
Welcome to the pregnancy, birth and beyond forum! The birth of your youngest sounds wonderful - I would love to know more. Thank you for sharing these positive words about your incredible labour; hearing positive birth stories makes such a difference to the pregnant ladies on our forum.
You have my respect and awe being a single mum of four. I've already enjoyed reading about your experiences through your posts so I look forward to reading more.
I have two boys - my youngest recently turned 1 and my eldest is almost 3. Life is busy and incredibly fun and full of smiles.

About Me
I am a board-certified neuroradiologist dedicated to improving the lives of patients with cancers affecting the brain, neck, and spine. Prompt and accurate interpretation of patient imaging tests such as CTs and MRIs is crucial for optimizing the diagnosis, staging, treatment, and follow-up of cancer. My expertise in these modalities enables me to help ensure that patients receive the highest-quality care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I provide daily consultations for my colleagues in other specialties, including neurosurgery, neurology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, and radiation oncology.
My research interests are varied, but I am especially focused on how cutting-edge imaging techniques can reveal tumor biology, vascularity, and metabolism. Improved understanding of cancer physiology through imaging will allow us to differentiate between treatment success and failure at earlier, more-critical stages during patient therapy. Greater insight into how novel chemotherapy agents and cancer cells interact with each other will also ultimately lead to more-precise and patient-specific drug regimens. I have been invited to present my research at national conferences throughout the country.
As an educator, I have enjoyed taking an active role in the informal training of residents and fellows during rounds and consultations. Additionally, I provide multiple didactic lectures, case conferences, and board reviews every year. It is extremely rewarding to assist with the development of the extraordinary physician-scientists of the future.
