August makes round two of emerging markets sell-off this year. Remember there was another round, in June?
In a report published today, HSBC looked at how mutual funds change their country exposure in Asia since the first round of sell-off.
In July, funds drastically increased their exposure to Singapore and Hong Kong. They meaningfully decreased their weightings in only three countries: Korea, Taiwan, and Indonesia.
Funds continued to like the Philippines (increased weights), India, and Thailand. HSBC analysts Herald van der Linde, Devendra Joshi and Anurag Dayal explain why India:
Despite the uncertainty of growth in India, equity positions have remained sticky, possibly a reflection of investors' comfort with some of the larger, defensive, high ROE companies in that market. Weightings in Malaysia, often considered a generally defensive market, have also increased.
By sector, funds have added exposure to cyclical sectors like Materials and Financials, but they were still overweight on defensive sectors such as Healthcare, Telecoms and Utilities.
On Indonesia, the analysts say:
Indonesia is not far off from its five-year low. We believe this explains why outflows from Indonesian equities have been relatively small – fund weightings were low to start with anyway.
What do July data tell us? If only we could divine the future by looking at the past…
So far in August, net fund outflow from India and Indonesia are muted. India has a net outflow of 0.3 billion versus July's 1 billion. Indonesia's is the same as last month.
August funds flow and July HSBC data do build cases for why sell-offs in India and Indonesia may be limited this round, though for different reasons.
Month-to-date, iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO) lost 27%. WisdomTree Trust India Earnings Fund (EPI) lost 13.9%.

Fanny Pack Alternative
I just received this William Joseph bandolier today. I didn't want a fanny pack, so when I came across this I jumped on it.
From the quick once over I've given it tonight it looks perfect for carrying gear while working the beaches.
The best part, when you want to access the rear compartment you merely tug on the strap and the back section glides over your shoulder from back to front.

RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
Just make sure all those pouches are zippered up before you pull the back to the front .... sploosh. http://www.flyfishingforum.com/images/flytalk/Happy.gif
RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
Interesting! I am currently a chest pack fan, preferably w/ removable rear compartment. That gives the long day/short day option without transfering any gear out of the front. It is very steady in it's position due to the harness design. The one glitch is that it's not as simple as it could be to retrieve items out of the back. This design offers an interesting way to deal with that.
If the sling design is less stationary than the traditional chest pack harness and tended to get in the way, I would sacrifice the convenience of fetching the from the back in favor of the unflappable chest pack harness. On the other hand, if it stays in place and doesn't bother me when I climb a fence, paddle, cast, whatever - it would be a welcome new addition to the FF arsenal.
You got my curiosity, I'd love to check it out when I get a chance.
RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
I was unsure of the stability of it as well. When it arrived, though, I was pleased to find a waist level strap that wraps around your body. It latches in the front, just under the small chest pack, effectively locking it to your torso when you don't want it to move. I don't know if it is an add on to their original design because the bandolier in the picture definitely doesn't have one.
I'll bring it to the casting clave for people to check out.

RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
I cannot remember who it was who descibes us as two nations seperaterated by a common language but "fanny" is not a topic we would discuss in Scotland. I was fair taken aback, I almost choked on my dram.
RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
Willie -
I would be curious to learn what it 'translates' to, here it's a politically correct way to refer to the buttocks, and a fanny pack is the type that straps horizontally around the waist with the compartment over the small of the back or the upper buttocks.
I recall two amusing "English" exchanges where I walked into an executive area in the Coventry UK headquarters and said "so this is where the heavyweights hang out?". In the states, a heavyweight is the highest championship ranking, used to denote power - not body weight. Over there I understand it's a derrogatory word for overweight! D'oh!
The second was ironically one of these same top Coventry managers while visiting the states... he was invited to dinner by one of the execs and when the execs wife served dinner he called her "homely". That's a compliment in England but over here it means quite the opposite. I was relieved to hear that it goes both ways!
RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
Hi Juro.
In Scotland a fanny is the part of a womens anatomy which is never mentioned in polite company and certainly not discussed on the internet or not on the angling pages anyway.
RE:Fanny Pack Alternative
I apologize for knocking you out of your chair with my post title.
This is not unlike the time that a gentleman, employed by Guinness, came over from Northern Ireland to work with me for a week. While visiting my first customer on our very first day of working together he managed to demonstrate the extremely different meanings common words can have from culture to culture.
In the midst of a very friendly conversation he was attempting to explain that he had traveled to the States to study the Boston market and to have some fun along the way. Now, the problem came in the translation of the word fun. The Irish Gaelic equivalent of "fun" is "craic," pronounced CRACK. His exact words, " I came to Boston for a Guinness/Bass Import Company market survey, and to find some good craic!" You want to talk about a completely blank stare on someone's face, my non-Irish customer was completely dumbfounded and it was only 9:00 in the morning.
This also reminds me of the "Rumble in the Jungle" in Zaire between George Forman and Ali. Foreman made the mistake of traveling to Zaire with his German Shepherds, a symbol of oppression to the Africans. German Shepherds were the dog of choice with the white police officials that enforced the atrocities of apartheid. Result, Ali won the nation over with his "man of the people" demeanor, and Foreman was universally hated because of his dogs and his standoffish nature.
Thanks for letting me know not to use the F word while visiting the birthplace of golf.

Eighth-grader steps into supercomputing
Eighth-grader steps into supercomputing
Submitted by Marmian Grimes
Hannah Tallan, 14, demonstrates her project to UAF Chancellor Steve Jones in the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center's Discovery Lab on Friday, Dec. 2, 2005.
Tallan is an eighth-grader at Chinook Montessori Charter School. As part of their final year at the school, each eighth-grade student participates in a week-long apprenticeship with a local professional.
Tallan spent a week at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center and learned to use Maya, a three-dimensional graphics program. During the week, she created a visualization of a room, which included a desk with a movable chair, pencils and a book.
"My favorite part of this model is this," Tallan said, as she she pointed to a replica of the solar system suspended in midair on the 8-foot-high screen in the Discovery Lab, the brightly colored planets spinning around the yellow sun.
Tallan demonstrated her creation on Friday afternoon for an audience that included her family, teachers, ARSC director Frank Williams and UAF Chancellor Steve Jones.
Tallan's mother, Barb Tallan, said her daughter hopes to study astrophysics after high school and enjoyed her time at ARSC.
"The whole group has made her feel like she belongs," she said. "She came home the other day and said she wanted to go to UAF."

couple of stocking questions!
i'm using the time it takes for my tank to cycle to plan, which is more forethought than i usually show, haha.
i have a 20g long. so, right now, i have six longfin danios (three zebra and three leopard), plus three mystery snails. no heater, and my dorm stays at a constant 72 degrees. my tap water's pH is 7.5, and my water is pretty hard. i'm not planning on planting my tank. i can keep any water change schedule that's required, and i have an aquatech 20-40g filter.
so, right now i'm considering getting six black skirt or bloodfin tetra, OR maybe a school of white clouds. once i do that, i'll have two groups of smaller fish, so i wanted more colorful, showy fish that would be good solitary or in a pair. would a male swordtail need to be in a group of females to be happy? what about platies? and mollies prefer warm water, right, so they're not an option?
i have larger gravel mixed with small rough rocks, so some peppered cories wouldn't be an option, right? i read that they need finer substrate.
any other suggestions for fish that could work would be great! thanks for reading :)

I vote for the white clouds. I have both the regular white clouds and golden white clouds. They don't school tightly, so you will see them all over the tank. They also have a long finned variety that they sometimes call meteor minnows. I have heard that they will all school together. If you have at least 5, they are very peaceful. You might also look into glofish (zebra danios). I have 2 and will increase their # slowly as the tank matures. You might also look into some red cherry shrimp for added interest, they are OK with the lower temps, but only after the tank is stabilized. For more suggestions, http://aqadvisor.com/ put in your tank size and filter and there is an option to show only fish for your tank. You should do more research, but it gives you more options.

i went by petsmart to decide between black skirt, bloodfin, or white clouds. i'll definitely be getting 6 black skirts, plus some ghost shrimp (or cherries if i can find them locally). if i saw long finned white clouds, i'd definitely consider them, though! that red is really pretty. thanks for the suggestion
i already have some zebra danios, and those are great. i've been using aqadvisor.com as a rough guide, it's a very useful site.
i have a few more questions that i mentioned but didn't elaborate on:
i think i'd like a male swordtail and two female platies. would that work alright? i always see recommendations to keep swordtails with others of their own kind, but since platies are so close genetically, i figured it would be fine. right or wrong?
and one more question: i'd really love to get some kind of bottom dweller instead of the livebearers to even the tank out. however, i have petco brand gravel (not rough but not smooth) combined with medium river stones. cories wouldn't be an option, and small species of plecos, loaches, or otocinclus would be ill-advised too, right?
Hmmm.. decor wise you could probably get away with otcinclus.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
0My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Just because I didnt see it mentioned... Oto's are a cool fish but some find it hard to get them feeding well on algae wafers. The common aquarium doesnt yield enough algae to sustain them fully. Make sure the tank is well established over time to allow forage and stability for those fish if you go that way.
ALso on the mention of sword tails, they get a bit big for the 20 long that already has black skirts planned for it and any platy or other live bearer. The temp is not being regulated by a heater so I am conscerned about the idea of swordtails being they are a tropical species. They might survive but if the water got much colder you might see signs of stress. Same goes for the black skirts.
If you had a larger tank I would think a riverine tank would be cool with dojo loaches and white clouds. They do better at the cooler temp's.
All this goes to Steelers point of propper care. Make sure you do research and maybe its not a bad idea to include at least a small heater to keep the temp around 76 where you can mix tropicals with cold water.

thanks for all the replies! this forum has been a godsend. i've been researching like crazy, but it's so hard when half of what i read contradicts the other stuff, haha. anyways, i definitely won't go with a swordtail, then, thanks! like i said, every site suggested a different tank requirement, heh.
i'm lucky to live in a new dorm with a very precise thermostat, so it's always 72 degrees, but if i move i'll definitely get a heater for stability.
and one last thing: so otos would be possible? i don't want to keep anything that won't be happy. would it be a good idea to plant the tank with something just to make sure they had something to snack on if i didn't have enough algae? i'd definitely offer blanched veggies if i went for some otos (which i won't until the tank is very established).
If you suppliment their diet with blanched veggies they can be fine as long as you can get them eating it. Live plants wont do anything for them specifically but is always a nice addition to any tank. That part is up to you.
A lot of sites are contradicting. What you want to take into consideration is where the fish is from. You can find that pretty easy by googling the type of fish.

Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.
Kevin Sumlin just won 11 games at Texas A&M in his first season with a Freshman QB.
What is Al Golden waiting on.
All it really takes to turn a team around is 1 class that has leaders. Happened for Michigan (4 of our losses came to top 10 teams, 3 to Undefeated teams), but last year was such a great turnaround because we had some of the best leaders a team could ask for in Mike Martin, David Molk, Ryan Van Bergen, Junior Hemmingway, and Kevin Koger. They showed the young guys how to work and how to act after seeing 2 coaching changes (Martin and Koger were recruited by Carr but never played for him, the other 3 were Redshirts while Carr was here) and it helped morph the team.
Does Miami have a group of upperclassmen that can do the same thing?
How is miamis recruiting coming along??? Football going to have a good class coming in?

Former Pa. governor, presidential candidate William Scranton dies
State flags lowered to half staff
HARRISBURG, Pa. - William Warren Scranton, a former Pennsylvania governor, presidential candidate and ambassador to the United Nations, has died. He was 96.
Scranton died of a cerebral hemorrhage Sunday night at a retirement community in Montecito, Calif., where he lived with his wife, a family spokesman said Monday.
Scranton, a progressive Republican from the northeastern Pennsylvania city named after his wealthy family, was elected to Congress in 1960.
He served one term before he was elected as Pennsylvania's 38th governor in 1962.
His foray into presidential politics occurred in 1964, during his one term as governor, when he emerged as a moderately liberal alternative to conservative Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater after New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller dropped out of the race.
Scranton, who committed to the race barely a month before the national convention in San Francisco, lost the Republican nomination to Goldwater by a 4-1 margin after a hoped-for endorsement from former President Dwight D. Eisenhower failed to materialize.
In the general election, Goldwater lost to President Lyndon B. Johnson by a landslide. "It is impossible to consider the short-lived Scranton campaign as a serious exercise in politics; but as an exercise in gallantry it may have saved the soul of the Republican Party," Theodore H. White wrote in his book, "The Making of the President, 1964."
A popular governor who was skilled in public relations, Scranton took advantage of a strong economy to reform the Pennsylvania Civil Service, double spending on education and increase the state sales tax from 4 percent to 5 percent.
State spending increased by 38 percent during his administration. Scranton, whose ancestors established vast holdings in iron, coal and railroads during the 19th century, was appointed ambassador to the United Nations in 1976 by President Gerald Ford. He served about 10 months in the post.
Although Scranton and his wife, Mary, spent much of their time in California in recent years, they also have a home in Waverly, in Lackawanna County., near Scranton.
They have four children. The oldest of their three sons, Bill Scranton, served as lieutenant governor under Gov. Dick Thornburgh for eight years.
The younger Scranton ran for governor in 1986 but lost to Democrat Robert P. Casey. He ran again in 2006 but dropped out of the primary race amid growing support for former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn Swann, who won the Republican nod but lost the general election to Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell.
Reactions to Scranton's death
-- U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) Monday released the following statement on the passing of former Pennsylvania Governor Bill Scranton: "Kris and I send our prayers to the family of former Governor Bill Scranton. From the time he left Yale Law School to enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, to his service as Ambassador to the United Nations, his was a life dedicated to the service of our great commonwealth and our country."
-- U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA): "Today we pause to remember the life of an extraordinary public servant, Governor William W. Scranton. Governor Scranton served his home area, our Commonwealth and our country with distinction and with honor. As a Congressman and as Governor, he prioritized education, economic development and job creation. When he left office after four years as Governor, Pennsylvania's unemployment rate was one of the lowest ever. Long after he left public office, he continued to devote his considerable skills and energy to helping and promoting Northeastern Pennsylvania and serving the nation in significant appointments that focused on difficult domestic and international issues, including service as UN Ambassador. On behalf of my wife Terese, my mother and the entire Casey family, I extend condolences to Mrs. Scranton, Lieutenant Governor Scranton, Susan, Peter and Joseph."
-- A. Carville "Peck" Foster, former York County Republican Committee chairman and former state lawmaker: "I was tremendously impressed with Bill Scranton. I consider him one of the finest statesmen that Pennsylvania has produced in my time," Foster said. "He was an excellent governor. And it was really a pleasure to be associated with him. He was truly a man of the people."
Foster, 80, of Springfield Township, recalled a York County Republican dinner where Scranton came. It would have been standard for a prominent person like him to walk through the hall, stop at tables and shake hands. Scranton took it a step further, Foster said.
"Bill Scranton and his wife went through the kitchens and greeted the people back there who were preparing the food," Foster said. "And I think everybody was impressed with that."
Foster served in the state House after Scranton was governor. He said Scranton left the state in good financial shape.
"He was frugal in his spending," Foster said. "...He was very much interested in building a better business climate in Pennsylvania."
-- Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason: "Today, we mourn the loss of one of Pennsylvania's great leaders. Bill Scranton, a veteran, U.S. Congressman, Pennsylvania Governor, presidential candidate and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, was a dedicated public servant and a national figure in American politics. Following his retirement, Governor Scranton remained an important figure to the people of Pennsylvania and we cherish his contributions to our Commonwealth and country. We extend our deepest sympathies to Governor Scranton's family, and our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with them."
-- The York County Republican Committee posted a statement on its Facebook page: "All of us at York County Republican Headquarters are saddened to learn of the passing of former Pennsylvania Governor Bill Scranton, Jr. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Scranton family today."
Governor Tom Corbett Monday ordered all Pennsylvania flags lowered to half-staff in honor of Scranton.
"Governor Scranton was a world-class leader in government. He will be remembered as a man of humility, honesty, dignity and integrity,'' Corbett said.
"Susan and I mourn the passing of this distinguished man and offer our sincerest condolences to his wife, Mary, and his family. We will always be grateful for Governor Scranton's service and the legacy he left our great commonwealth,'' Corbett said.
Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of Scranton's funeral. Service arrangements for the former governor are pending.
All Pennsylvanians are invited to join in this tribute.

Thanks ... I have been doing this hobby now for about a year and a half and every day provides some sort of unique excitement that was never planned ... only anticipated :)
excellent - fun and artful
Each time I approach someone, what I usually say to them is differnt than what I have ever said before. I analyze the situation and then step forward with a comment or a question. It usually breaks the ice, except for one time, I told a lady that her image wold be posted to the internet and she took off movin pretty fast. She was going to be in a GigaPan until I mentioned the word internet. I sort of wondered what sort of stuff she looks at on the net???
I continue to be fascinated by your apparent ability to get passing strangers to appear in your gigapans - I would love to hear what you say to people. There must be something in what you say or how you say it. Or is it simply in the nature of US citizens to help out when asked? Without wanting to stereotype, I think it is interesting to compare how you an I work in this respect. You, a US citizen, have no problems walking up to strangers whereas I, with my English upbringing would not dream of doing so - my intuition is that to do so would be to violate someone's privacy. (I am not say that that is what you are doing - just what my gut reaction to the idea is.) On the other hand, I have no problem walking in to a corporate establishment, asking to see the manager, and asking for permission to take photos in their railway station/stately home/whatever. In these circumstances my attitude is that if I come across as polite and self-assured there is no reason at all why they should refuse - I almost expect to be given permission as though it is the most natural thing in the world.

text: I started with a Dogtra 1900 NCP, it worked great. The only problem I found was that if I wanted to jump up in stim level I had to take my eye's off the dog, look down at the transmitter and dial up the juice. By the time I did all that it was too late. Other times I just turned up the dial and the next thing I knew the stim was all the way up to full. On the TT Pro transmitters, you can increase the stim in nice even jumps by what button/s you press, all while keeping your eye's on the dog.

- Sad but true .. Eiffel?! [..]. Eiffel has such negative juice, there's probably been more written about Eiffel than in Eiffel. [ from a Slashdot poster ]
Did post some ideas on a WIN32_HANDLE class.
Clarified some points on the fact that Eiffel is not proprietary language. Wont matter though .. yes, I know Eiffel is a dead in the water B&D language with 3 users and no libraries unlike xyz language.
Received a long email from Steve - an Eiffelist that has finally found SmallEiffel after Visual Eiffel, Squeak, Python and Ruby. He has provided some useful insights which might find there way to elj-daily.

Ready to grace top-tier cross-country race bikes, the Formula R1 Racing Disc Brake is the result of over twenty years of high-performance disc brake technology that's been fine tuned and devolved in motorsport racing. The result is a 270 gram disc brake that offers the power, modulation, and ergonomics that keep aggressive riders satisfied and fresh throughout the most grueling races.
Based on the already ridiculously light Formula R1, the Racing model adds titanium hardware and a carbon fiber lever blade to drop even more heft. Like the R1, the Racing uses a stiff forged radial master cylinder with a high capacity integrated reservoir. The large reservoir combined with a redesigned diaphragm gives the R1 Racing excellent heat dissipation and a consistent lever feel on sustained descents, even in extreme heat. A flip-flop master cylinder allows you to run moto-style without changing lines or bleeding. The R1 Racing is compatible with the Mixmaster shifter perch (available separately) if you'd like to de-clutter your cockpit.
Down at the caliper, Formula uses large, 22mm, heat-dissipating composite pistons which are cupped to offer increased surface area for heat to be eliminated. The caliper is a one-piece design that resists power loss to flex. Top load pads (the R1 Racing comes with alloy backed organic pads) make replacement a simple process even with the wheel in place. The caliper body features large openings at the top and bottom to assist with moving heat away as quickly as possible.
Formula uses light, yet strong Kevlar braided brake lines to prevent hose expansion when the system is under extreme pressure. They also employ DOT 4 brake fluid, which is less temperature-sensitive than mineral oil. The end result is a cool running, high powered, and consistent brake that won't go soft mid-descent.
Formula finishes the R1 Racing off with a high quality polish and an anodized red cap on the calipers that screams performance. The price reflects all the parts, save for the rotor which is sold separately in three sizes -- 160mm, 180mm, and 203mm -- each with the appropriate adapters. Formula includes titanium caliper mounting and rotor bolts with the R1 Racing.
Please note: almost all hydraulic brake lines need to be cut to size before a bike is properly shod with hydraulic disc brakes. You'll need a quality cable-cutter like the Park CN-10 and a spoke to first cut and then de-crimp the housing.
These brakes came stock on my Specialized bike and have squealed like a stuck pig since day one, I cant wait to get these off my bike.

The South Carolina Political Collections
University Libraries established the South Carolina Political Collections (SCPC) in 1991 to document S.C. government and politics at the national, state and local levels in the post-World War II era.
The SCPC makes the papers and records of the Palmetto State's leaders in Congress and the General Assembly, the state's political parties and other individuals and organizations with substantive roles in politics and government available to scholars and others studying contemporary government and society.
The most important repository of its kind in the state of South Carolina, the SCPC features the papers of 23 former and current members of Congress, 11 governors and prominent leaders in the state legislature. Holdings include manuscripts, photographs, electronic records and audio/video recordings. An extensive oral history program supplements the documentary record.
The SCPC's collections are among the largest received by the university. They include materials from U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and former senators Hollings and Olin Johnston; former U.S. congressional members Butler Derrick, Bryan Dorn, Liz Patterson, Joe Wilson and Floyd Spence; Gov. Mark Sanford and former governors James Edwards, Robert McNair, Richard Riley, John C. West and Carroll Campbell; former U.S. ambassadors Richard Walker and David Wilkins; political activists Drake Edens, Donald Fowler and Modjeska Simkins; journalists Jack Bass and William Workman; editorial cartoonists Walt Lardner and Kate Salley Palmer; and organizations such as the state Democratic and Republic parties and the League of Women Voters.
The Hollings Library will increase access for students, faculty and others to the collections. It will include the Smith Reading Room, an area that is designed for research, and an exhibit gallery that is 10 times larger than its previous exhibit space and will enable SCPC staff to mount semi-permanent and rotating exhibits. Details on the SCPC and its exhibits are available at the website: www.sc.edu/library/scpc.

Alpena Habitat Biologists Find Game Camera A
Tool for Monitoring Habitat Improvement Projects
By Joseph Gerbyshak
Alpena FWCO
For the past two field seasons, biologists from the Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (FWCO) have used a game camera to monitor habitat improvement projects. Using the game camera to take daily images from a fixed location has proven useful for documenting project progression and capturing ecological responses to restoration actions over time.
The game camera also has GPS transmission capabilities, allowing biologists and interested partners to view daily photos from their desktop and to remotely monitor the status of the project in real time. This allows biologists to oversee the development of a project, alerts them to complications, and helps them to determine when a site visit is warranted, saving countless trips to the project site by both biologists and interested partners. This is a time saving feature since most of the aquatic habitat restoration projects the station is involved with are located a long distance from the office.
Once the project is complete, the daily images can be easily made into a slide show or time-lapsed video with free software available online, resulting in a concise synopsis of the project activities.
Throughout the 2013 field season the camera will be used to monitor the installation of a rock ramp (designed for fish passage) at the Frankenmuth Dam on the Cass River. The game camera is an ideal tool for monitoring this project because the construction will take place over several weeks and is located a great distance from the field office.
Over the 2012 field season, the game camera was used to remotely monitor a culvert removal and bridge replacement project on the Black River, in Alcona County, MI. Biologists and project partners were able to monitor project status and document removal of an undersized culvert and the assembly of a new timber bridge.
During the 2011 field season, the game camera was used to document a small dam removal on Miller Creek, a cold-water tributary to the Thunder Bay River in northeast Michigan. The camera documented the dewatering and re-vegetation of the impoundment, channel formation, dam removal, and installation of a fish friendly culvert.
One unanticipated benefit of the game camera was that it captured many different species of wildlife using the former impoundment and newly formed riparian zone.

Ok, the headline of this post is a little misleading. I have plenty of complaints about cycling in Toronto. And, if you read BlogTO, you know that there's a list and growing discussion of even more gripes going on there.
But… and this is a big BUT… nothing outweighs the benefits of cycling in Toronto…
We have trails through ravines!
We have a growing bike lane network!
We're busting cops for parking in bike lanes!
We have a cyclists union!
We look damn good on our bikes!
We have more than 70 bike shops in Toronto!
However, I do have one big complaint… and boy-oh-boy is it a doosie!
There are simply not enough cyclists in Toronto.
That's it, that's my complaint.
Some days it's just so lonely. I know there are thousands upon thousands of cyclists around. But, I want to see more… don't you?

Gowanus is an area of South Brooklyn in between Boerum Hill, Red Hook, Carroll Gardens and Park Slope.
Gowanus is separated from neighboring Red Hook by the Gowanus Expressway and has the Gowanus Canal running through it. The bay of Gowanus was the first site of the Dutch settlers when they arrived in Brooklyn and its convenient waterfront location meant the area has been economically and historically significant for a long time.

Mali is faced with a major nutritional, humanitarian and security crisis. An estimated 4.6 million people are at risk of food insecurity. Health centres in the north of the country do not receive regular medical supplies due to ongoing political and military conflict.1
These problems compound the already precarious conditions for people with diabetes in Mali, where people with diabetes spend on average 61% per capita income to manage their condition. The average life expectancy for a person in Mali who needs to take insulin is 30 months.2

The notion of 'we have crap for receivers' does not hold either. We may not have bonifide downfield receivers but that our receivers can get open deep we have seen. If Bess is 30 yards downfield and he is overthrown for an INT it certainly is not on 'our receivers are too slow'. We certainly don't have the speed of a Marshal, Moss or Ocho to go down the field on a regular basis but it is not like our receivers are chicken ****.
Instead of declaring Tannehill the next franchise QB or a complete bust we all should be wondering if he ever overcomes the 'rookie wall'. The rookie wall is a nice phrase to explain the adjustment opponents make based on film they can now watch. Taking away the strength of a rookie QB and pushing him into his weakness IS the rookie wall. Those coaches who can overcame these type of game plans with better play selections become great coaches. And those rookie QBs who can force their will and strength onto opposing Ds with success become franchise QBs.

Meanwhile, Sam starts to develop frightening abilities that include death visions, visions of people dying before it actually happens. These visions are somehow connected to the demon who murdered his mother and its mysterious plans that seem to be all about Sam.

pre-mature labor
I have a friend that was having a premature labor last May 26, 2012 and unfortunately the baby died. I would like to ask why those born during 7th month has chances of surviving while those born during 8th month mostly died? What is the critical situation or critical development of the baby at this stage that might cause of their death?

Hi Sara,
I'm so sorry about your friend's loss. Many babies who are born at 8 months gestation end up surviving, and I'm sure that the quality of care they receive has a big part to do with this. Sometimes mums are given steroids if they are in premature labour, to help the baby's lungs develop more quickly.
It so hard to say what it was that caused your friend's baby not to survive because I don't know what her pregnancy was like and I don't know what kind of facility she was in or what her care was like when she gave birth.
We do have a thread on this forum that talks about how to console a mum who has had multiple pregnancy losses. Maybe there would be something in there that would help you to console your friend.
Warm regards,

I am also confused as to why because they are talking something about "placenta thing" but i just can't understand fully what's in it. They said that the feet of the baby was the first to go out and not the head. So I was thinking probably the baby was already dead when she labors? Is it possible ms.kate?

Feet first is called a breach presentation and doesn't necessarily mean that the baby was already dead before it was born. Many babies are born bottom first or feet first and survive. A breach presentation is more risky than a head first presentation, and this is why it is so VERY important to interview some midwives or doctors so that you can make the best choice for your care.
Here's an excellent article that shows what steps you can take to ensure that you choose the right practitioner for your pregnancy and birth care.
I'm so sorry about your friend's loss, but do know that the better your choices in pregnancy and birth care, the better chances of a positive outcome. This is why I chose to have a midwife and a doula at all of my births and it's why I chose to have home births. I did a lot of research before choosing my midwife and I knew that her back-up physician had a low C-Section rate and that if I ended up being transferred to the hospital, that I would have excellent care. Thankfully, having a home birth with my midwife allowed to me to give birth to a healthy baby at home, and even though we ran into trouble, my midwife was very skilled and everything turned out very well. Had I been in the hospital, my first birth would most likely have ended up in a C-Section.
Warm regards,

-- President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
-- Predicts: "Finding a biological causation for homosexuality may also lead to the discovery of a 'cure' for the same phenomenon."
-- Says: "If a biological basis is found (for being gay), and if a prenatal test is then developed, and if a successful treatment to reverse the sexual orientation to heterosexual is ever developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin."
-- Says telling gays that Jesus is the way "out of the homosexual lifestyle" is simply "Christian truth"; claims that an inaugural committee's decision to back away from a pastor who preaches that view constitutes "moral McCarthyism"
-- Said the repeal of the discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't tell would "present a clear and present threat to the religious liberty of those who wear the American uniform."
-- Claimed: "The earthquake in Haiti, like every other earthly disaster, reminds us that creation groans under the weight of sin and the judgment of God"
-- Teaches that "any sexual expression outside of that heterosexual marriage relationship is illicit, immoral, and outlawed by God's explicit command and law"
-- More teachings: "Homosexuality is linked directly to idolatry, for it is on the basis of their idolatry that God gave them up to their own lusts. Their hearts were committed to impurity, and they were degrading their own bodies by their illicit lusts. Their idolatry — exchanging the truth of God for a lie, and worshipping the creature rather than the Creator — led God to give them over to their degrading passions. From here, those given over to their degraded passions exchanged the natural use of sexual inter- course for that which God declared to be unnatural [literally, against nature].
-- Compares gays to people suffering from cancer: "Liberal churches have redefined compassion to mean that the church changes its message to meet modern demands. They argue that to tell a homosexual he is a sinner is uncompassionate [sic] and intolerant. This is like arguing that a physician is intolerant because he tells a patient she has cancer."

Well, I haven't touched Anima for a couple of weeks, but I'm planning on getting back to it. In the mean time I've been distracted by a number of things. First, I've been slowly working my way through my reading stack. I just finished Cryptonomicon (second reading), and the first Harry Potter novel. I've also been spending about one evening a week with Laura, someone I met at one of the Human Awareness Institute workshops.
Last weekend, I decided to finally break down and learn Python, so I spent most of Saturday and Sunday puttering around with my laptop. By the time I was finished, I had most of a working MUD (Multi-User Dungeon). This might seem like a really bad idea (there are so many MUDs out there already), but it's actually related to Anima, or more accurately it's related to Strattica, of which Anima is a prerequisite. (Strattica is my plan for an open-source 3-D strategy game engine). I suspected that working in Python would allow me to quickly prototype server implementations (more quickly than Java, in fact), and this turns out to be true. One of the basic concepts of Strattica is that the game will be massively customizable via scripts (similar to Quake-C) and embedding Python into the game engine seems like it could do the job really well.
MeV is also coming along quite nicely. I'm not directly involved in coding this, but the rest of the team has been quite busy. I've had about 4 Music-X inquiries in the last month, and I have redirected these to the MeV site.
At work, I have been learning Resin, which is a really advanced open-source/commercial servlet engine that has XSLT processing capabilities. I've created a prototype of a stylesheet which allows for special "text" tags that facilitate internationalization.

World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.
Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. In 2013, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation, World Water Day is also dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water and is coordinated by UNESCO in collaboration with UNECE and UNDESA on behalf of UN-Water.
On the occasion of World Water Day on 22 March, celebrations and events are taking place worldwide. People all around the world take action to raise awareness on water issues and improve the management of our water resources. Check what others are doing and get involved!
Official celebrations of World Water Day will be hosted on 22 March 2013 by the Government of The Netherlands in The Hague. The programme of the day includes inspirational speeches, presentations, panel and thematic discussions, and a series of public shows on the theme of water cooperation.
Taking place in the context of current discussions on the Post-2015 development framework and the process of developing a set of SDGs, the main objective of the event is to identify and discuss water-related challenges and key areas which in the future will require stronger political support and international cooperation.

Deeplinks Blog posts about No Downtime for Free Speech
Yesterday, Microsoft used a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice to demand that a copy of the "Microsoft® Online Services Global Criminal Compliance Handbook" (the Compliance Manual) be removed from Cryptome, a security website. As a result, Network Solutions felt obliged to takedown the entire Cryptome.org domain, a repository for thousands of important and controversial documents.
As is often the case, the ensuing uproar simply called more attention to the document in question. Yesterday evening, Microsoft wrote to Network Solutions and withdrew its takedown demand, while insisting that its copyright concern was nevertheless legitimate.
Let's say you are a blogger who writes about music regularly and includes links to music in your posts. How do you avoid having your blog censored off the Internet by "DMCA takedown notices" sent out by music industry lawyers (as happened last week to several blogs hosted by Blogger)?
Imagine you're a music journalist who maintains a blog. You've just found a great, new, virtually-unknown artist that you want to tell the world about. How can you do so, in a way that is simple and convenient for your readers, but does not place you or your blog's host at risk of being sued?
Thanks to the increasingly aggressive copyright-enforcement tactics of the music industry, this has become a startlingly complicated question with no good answer.
(The Streisand Effect describes the phenomenon by which an attempt to suppress information results in faster, broader dissemination of that information. Roughly explained, attempted censorship -- particularly by a famous or well-known entity -- can flag the information as more interesting.)
Last October, we launched the Takedown Hall of Shame to highlight the most egregious attempts to silence speech online with bogus intellectual property complaints. Today, we're inducting four more would-be censors into the pantheon of speech bullies. They are:
The closing months of 2009 saw the beginning of an unfortunate legal dispute in which a trademark owner, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, ran to court to punish political activists for using its marks in a political parody. Sadly, less than a week into 2010, another trademark owner, Peabody Energy, is also using legal threats to attempt to silence criticism.

NCSE's archives house a unique trove of material on the creationism/evolution controversy, and we regard it as part of our mission to preserve it for posterity — as well as for occasions such as Kitzmiller v. Dover, where NCSE's archives helped to establish the creationist antecedents of the "intelligent design" movement. And we are beginning to amass a similar trove of material on disputes over climate change education.
A milestone: there are now over 170,000 fans of NCSE's Facebook page. Why not join them, by visiting the page and becoming a fan by clicking on the "Like" box by NCSE's name?
Here are some tips for appearing at school board meetings.
Although most of the battle against creationism has focused on the political and legal battles over textbooks and curriculum development, it is important to remember that public opinion plays a major role in determining the material actually taught in biology classrooms. One inexpensive and effective way to educate the public on the nature of science in general, and evolution in particular, is through the editorial pages. Letters to the editor are widely read, and fundamentalists have long used letter campaigns to push their agenda.
1. In 1968, in Epperson v. Arkansas, the United States Supreme Court invalidated an Arkansas statute that prohibited the teaching of evolution. The Court held the statute unconstitutional on the grounds that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not permit a state to require that teaching and learning must be tailored to the principles or prohibitions of any particular religious sect or doctrine.

Demystifying New York's Favorite Mollusk, The Oyster
On a recent Friday night, a crowd amasses outside Williamsburg oyster mecca Maison Premiere, smoking their way through a 90-minute wait for a table. Meanwhile on Manhattan's West Side, diners pack the bar at Aqua Grill, slurping down more than 30 bivalve varieties, and on 29th Street, the salivating hordes spill into the Ace Hotel lobby bar, waiting in boozy purgatory for a table at John Dory Oyster Bar. Just uptown, ad executives eat themselves into briny oblivion beneath the tiled arches at Grand Central Oyster Bar, where primetime dinner reservations are scarce at best.
You could say New York is experiencing a major bout of oystermania. Demand for oysters has risen relentlessly since the 1990s. To meet it, oystermen are increasingly transitioning from fishing to farming; with oyster beds largely ruined by overfishing, pollution, and disease, farms make oysters a renewable commodity.
Grand Central chef-owner Sandy Ingber says farmed oysters mean increased availability during summer months, when oysters go through a spawning period that renders their flesh thin, flabby, and unpalatable. "Back in the 1990s, there were so few oysters in the summer . . . it was just brutal. Now, when one is going out of season, another's coming back on," he says.
At Aqua Grill, owner Jeremy Marshall says he chooses from more than 250 varieties; something is always in season. Marshall likes Rhode Island Moonstones: "They have a sweet meat and briny finish. There are great subtleties to the liquor [the brine inside the oyster], so you get these cucumber and watermelon flavors."
Like wine, oysters take their name and flavor from their surroundings—all East Coast oysters are the same species, Crassostrea virginica—so they're defined by the bay they come from. Those who live by the bivalve tend to speak of the different varieties in start-to-finish terms and flavor notes.
Ingber prefers Island Creek Oysters (George W. Bush's favorite—he calls them "Oyster du President"), from Duxbury, Massachusetts. He says it's best to try an oyster "naked," without cocktail sauce or other accoutrements: "Put it in your mouth, swirl it around, get the full flavor. You can taste the terroir of the oyster. Then put whatever you want on top."
At Island Creek Oyster Farm, wholesaler Chris Sherman says his oysters taste like the sea floor: "We plant our oysters right in the mud, with the algae, so there's this great vegetal tone, celery-grassy flavors, and a buttery texture," he says. At low tide, Island Creeks are exposed to the air and clamp shut to survive. This encourages thick muscle growth and makes for a "really strong, sweet finish," Sherman says, "as the enzymes in your mouth start digesting that muscle." This kind of hearty meat is unusual for farm-raised oysters, which are known for being pampered by farmers rather than struggling for survival.
Marshall says wild oysters tend to be heartier. "Wild shells are firmer and don't crack as easily," he says. "The meat inside tends to be stronger. Liquor retention is much better, because the shells have been tossed around, and it's survival of the fittest." But, Marshall says, because of their relative scarcity, "You just don't see them that often."
There are still wild catches around if you know what to look for. One popular local variety is the "Naked Cowboy" from Long Island Sound.
Long Island oysterman Jeffrey Mannheimer has been diving for shellfish in the sound for 25 years. He's one of a handful of locals to make a successful business of it—most fishermen use other methods, but Mannheimer loves to dive. "I enjoy being underwater. I'd rather go 30 feet deep than pull on 60 feet of aluminum pole and get 20 oysters. I can catch them faster."
This year, the sea is abundant. "I'm working areas where more often than not, we don't have work," Mannheimer says. "There are no guarantees with fishing. We had no oysters for a 10-year period."
In the mid-'90s, a plague wiped out the entire local catch. Mannheimer stayed afloat by fishing for clams and buying and selling fish instead. When restaurants were smacked during the 2008 financial crash, demand for fish fell and Mannheimer's trading business suffered, but the oyster beds were back. "I went back to the water, and I've been happy ever since," he says. Oysters from the sound bring a good price for their hardiness (big, thick shells, longer shelf life), relative rarity, and punchy, full flavor.
Since then, demand has risen. Karen Rivara, a founding member of Noank Aquaculture Cooperative in Connecticut, credits the recent craze to new ways of thinking about food. "Oysters fit into the new trends, which focus on local and sustainable foods. People are very engaged with where food comes from. With oysters, production is sustainable—they're eating something that will be replaced.
"They also just taste really good," Rivara adds, almost as an afterthought. "There's a wow factor to eating oysters that stays with people."

1953 CJ-3B Universal - Jeep EncyclopediaPosted in Features on February 17, 2014 Comment (0)
In the late '40s, Jeeps were having power struggles. The Willys-Overland Go-Devil engine was a legend in World War II jeeps, but lack of power became a problem in postwar Jeeps. Moving a 2,300-pound MB or CJ with 60 hp is one thing. Schlepping a 3,300-pound Jeep station wagon was something else.
An engine update project was started in 1947, and an elegantly simple, low-cost F-head upgrade of the Jeep L-head four was the 1949 result. The increased breathing upped the power in the new "Hurricane" engine from 60 to 72 hp and the torque from 105 to 114 lb-ft. The main goal was to introduce the Hurricane to the '50 station wagon and pickup, where it was needed most. It became a priority for the CJ as well.
In 1949, Willys completed work on a new military Jeep prototype, the Willys Model MC, later better known as the M-38. In early tests, the Army expressed dissatisfaction with the performance. New requirements had raised the Jeep's curb weight and GVW significantly. As a result, the 60hp Go-Devil was no longer cutting the mustard. The Army settled for the M-38 with the understanding that something more peppy was on the near horizon. This materialized in 1952 as the round-fender M38A1(Model MD), the grandfather of the CJ-5, which mounted an F-head engine and a totally new body. The MD didn't immediately translate to a civilian model because of the Korean War, materials shortages, and an economic downturn, but Willys still wanted to capitalize on a more powerful CJ in the least costly way possible.
The issue with fitting the taller F-head was hood height. To make a low-cost CJ upgrade, Willys simply added sections to the hood and cowl of the CJ-3A flatfender with almost no other body changes. The CJ-3B debuted in January of 1953 and was sold concurrently with the low-hood CJ-3A most of that year. It was nearly called the CJ-4, but Willys tradition prevailed and the "B" suffix was used to denote the upgrade of an existing Jeep model rather than a new number for a completely new model.
The CJ-3B was well received. That extra 12 hp was welcome, even though very little else changed from the CJ-3A, and the high-hood sold in large numbers for 1953 and 1954. During that time, the Korean War wound down and the economy picked up, so Willys opted to introduce a new Jeep, the CJ-5, for 1955. It would have been logical to discontinue the CJ-3B, but Jeep didn't.
The '53 CJ-3B was sold in three variations—the standard model with a 453-GB2 serial number prefix (27,551 produced), a stripped chassis with a 453-GA2 prefix (2,267 produced), and the Farm Jeep with a 453-GC2 prefix (65 produced). The Farm Jeep came with a hydraulic 3-point lift and hydraulic pump, along with a 265-pound cast iron weight up front. A '53 Farm Jeep was tested at the University of Nebraska Tractor Test Lab and found to generate a maximum of 2,317 pounds of drawbar pull, 27 drawbar hp, and 37 PTO hp. The CJ-3B Farm Jeep was sold only in 1953 and 1954.
American production of the CJ-3B continued into 1968, but once the CJ-5 debuted, it ramped down from around 30,000 to between 6,000 and 10,000 annual units, with a few spurts nearing or passing 20,000. Licensed CJ-3Bs were built by Mitsubishi of Japan until 1998, and Mahindra of India was still building them in the '00s, making the CJ-3B style the longest-running Jeep model of all time. The CJ-3B was a popular export-market Jeep, and militarized versions were exported as the M-606. You may think it's ugly as sin, but the CJ-3B was a pivotal part of Jeep history.
