Hey. Hey. Hi. Hey.
My topic today is the prospect of Republicans gaining control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. If you asked me to rank flavors of jerky, my first response would be: why? Why not just have them all? Then if you ordered me to rank them, I would say, in order, Slim Jim Tangy BBQ flavor, Slim Jim Honey BBQ flavor, Slim Jim Nacho flavor, Slim Jim Mild flavor, Slim Jim Zesty Garlic flavor, Slim Jim Smokin Mesquite flavor, Slim Jim Teriyaki flavor, Slim Jim Maple Bacon flavor, Slim Jim Hickory Smoked Bacon flavor, Slim Jim Kickin Carne Asada Steak Strips flavor, Slim Jim Original Sausage Bites flavor, Slim Jim Mild Beef & Cheese Sticks flavor, Slim Jim Jamaican Jerk flavor, Slim Jim Original flavor, Slim Jim Pepperoni flavor, Slim Jim Sweet & Hot flavor, Slim Jim Chili Pepper flavor, Slim Jim Jalapeno flavor, and Slim Jim Crackin Pepper flavor. The spicy ones I don't like so much. They hurt my glands. They feel like fire going down. Like I swallowed a snake made of pure fire. I eat em still. Delicious. Love em. I will eat every one. These are my rankings of the Slim Jim family of jerky treats ONLY. I could go on into the other and lesser brands of jerky treats but we'd be here all day!
If I wasn't doing this, what would I be doing? Oh I don't know. Just wandering probably. I always thought of myself as a wanderer. I often sing that song to myself: "A wanderer, a wanderer, I roam around around around, a wanda-rah, a wanda-rah, I Roman rounda rounda round, a wompa wah, ba domp a dah, Eye oamkoamadoama pound, around around, a wangah dong, a woop a doopa shoopa shoam, I roam a home, a tome a boam, a zona zone, a homeroam, I wander-uh, a squander-ah, a gahgah gahgahgahgah, my name a shame a blame a fame a hack attack a back-a-pack, I'm walkering, I'm talkering, I'm wandering, belonga me, aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye." Then sometimes after that I nap, sometimes I wander. Sometimes after that I sing that song "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy, good lookin, whattttttttttcha got cookin," and I'm envisioning the kind of jerky treat I would like to cook. I'm not much of a cook myself to be honest. I won't denigrate the cooking of others though. That is one thing I just can't stand. It's very rude. I'll eat anything.
My friend is a raccoon.

- INTERPOL Podgorica
Member since :
19 September 2006
Law enforcement in Montenegro is the responsibility of the Police Directorate, an agency under the authority of the Ministry of Interior and Public Administration.
Headquartered in the Montenegrin capital Podgorica, the Police Directorate has a strength of 5,250 officers who provide security and enforce the law across the country. The National Police Academy is located in Danilovgrad, 18km northwest of Podgorica.
INTERPOL Podgorica
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau for Montenegro focuses its daily activities around:
- Publication of INTERPOL international notices for persons wanted by the Montenegrin courts;
- Publication of INTERPOL international notices for missing persons;
- Coordination with national law enforcement agencies in locating fugitives thought to be hiding in Montenegro;
- Coordination with national law enforcement agencies and INTERPOL member countries in locating missing persons thought to be in Montenegro;
- Coordination with national law enforcement agencies and INTERPOL member countries with regard to persons likely to pose a security threat or commit crime;
- Publication of INTERPOL international notices for unidentified bodies;
- Establishing the identity of suspects;
- Coordination of full extradition procedures regarding fugitives wanted by INTERPOL and either located in or wanted by Montenegro;
- Cooperation with national law enforcement agencies and INTERPOL member countries in conducting international criminal investigations, primarily in the fields of:
- Organized crime (financial organized crime, general organized crime, trafficking in human beings, smuggling of human beings, terrorism, etc.);
- General crime;
- Smuggling of motor vehicles (checks, locating, seizing and returning the vehicles to their rightful owners);
- Commercial crime;
- Drug trafficking.
Extending access to INTERPOL's tools and services
Access to INTERPOL's criminal databases enables INTERPOL Podgorica to carry out these tasks effectively and provide a tailored police service to its national law enforcement partners.
As part of a strategy to boost national security and prevent criminal activity in Montenegro, INTERPOL Podgorica provided Montenegrin police across the country – and particularly at border points – with "Mobile INTERPOL Network Database" (MIND) systems. This means that police across Montenegro now have hands-on access to critical data on wanted persons, vehicles and stolen and lost travel documents in just seconds.
In the near future, INTERPOL Podgorica plans to make INTERPOL databases accessible to police in the field via mobile telephones, smart phones and in police cars, thus ensuring that police in the field can quickly determine if a person is a potential threat to national security.

Mike Epps has played some memorable characters in his career, but this year he went a different route. The comedian and actor, an Indianapolis native, took on the role of ambassador for Super Bowl weekend, calling on a host of celebrity friends happy to come to town to do it up the way Epps does with his comedy, and over-the-top antics. His ambassadorship is over, so Epps is back on a more familiar stage, stand-up, with his "I'm Still Standing Tour." Oh yeah, someone's mama, big girls and someone's mama who's a big girl will be talked about.
Why go: Epps can't help but bring up the level of silliness as the simple-minded wannabe player Day-Day from the "Friday" movies and the clueless con man from (insert a number of movies here) seep out of his stand-up. He's just being himself.
Reconsider: If you wanted to sit around listening to a goofball rant about everything under the sun as it pops in his head, you have your own dysfunctional relatives for that.

The NFL made a stunning series of decisions regarding this Andre Johnson fight from yesterday. Both players reportedly will be punished equally, which is a surprise when one considers the reputation of the instigator–Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan–and his overtly crass demonstration after his ejection from that game. But also, neither player will be suspended.
@Mortreport is reporting Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan each have been fined $25,000. Neither player will be suspended.
That seems insanely low to me, and I openly question the logic of Merton Hanks and the guys making these decisions on the 17th floor at 280 Park. If you don't want to suspend either guy during a division title run (especially with the Colts struggling in the AFC South), that's fine. But how can you fine two different guys half of what you fined James Harrison, who was actually playing the game? Forget about the fight for a second; I don't see how Finnegan's antics after getting tossed didn't warrant something extra from the 17th floor. Was that any better for the game than a defender trying to do his job? Considering Finnegan's reputation, that might have been exactly what we were seeing.

RBG needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 103 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
Experience Effect
Experience Effect (EE) is an education and training company focused on rapid and deep learning through a more natural means of learning, which is through experiences. In addition to offering its own courses EE will also manage and market other training firms whose services fit with this experiential learning model.
EE will provide deep learning experiences that will have profound effect on its customers. Our customers are looking for differences through experiences to get them to move beyond what they already know. We offer the means of discovery that will give them no option but to get a profound shift in either a part or the whole of their lives, and greater flexibility and control over the factors that affect them.
Essentially EE works a lot like an advertising agency. We develop ideas on what experiences will get the deepest change for a learning need. And just like an ad agency sometimes that is completely in-house and sometimes we will use other service providers, but the generation of ideas, the sales, the integration and alike are what we offer to clients for a more complete solution.
EE has two customers, the first is the training companies that it will promote services for, and the second is the students that it will attract to those courses. Within this student population EE has two distinct segments, which is the corporate customer and the personal interest customer. These two are very distinct segments and will need very different media to promote with. In the near future as we grow EE will look to create two separate sub-brands that will target these two areas. At present EE needs a brand that both segments will feel comfortable with and also that our service provider partners will be happy to be represented by.
We require (illustrator or eps) files as part of final deliverable.
We would like to be seen as: trusted, innovative, makes cool stuff happen, the place to go for real difference, fun but sophisticated, makes the impossible doable. One thought was using E^2 element in the logo, merely because of the EE, it also could represent energy squared.
Often in the realm of personal development there is a lot of softness and fluffy design around logos etc, with obviously two many colours and far too many references to butterflies, fairies and rainbows. This is not wanted obviously.

A Bike To Work Day Surprise, A Small Tweak In The Road On Broadway Ave.
I'm a little late on my usual bike to work day/week/month news and commentary of years past, but Streetsblog LA is a better place to find that information. I had some hyper local small scale good news though this bike to work day. I just noticed a day and a half or so after my last blog post and e-mail to SM Transportation Management, there were new spray paint marks on Broadway this morning, with the old ones still visible. In addition to my complaint about the initial construction work and lack of warning signage for cyclists for the rough road condition, followed by incorrectly placed reflector flaps after repaving, I made the point that in that particular part of Broadway from 26th to Cloverfield, the former line markings for the street were problematic. I was concerned based on initial spray paint markings that rather than use the opportunity for new painting to tweak things a little nicer, the same problems would be painted right back down.
On the South side of the street the bikelane was too narrow, actually pretty standard for Broadway, but narrow when you consider the door zone. On The North side however, the bikelane was actually a bit wider than necessary, actually as wide as some car lanes. This particular block actually has more width from curb to curb to work with. While extra space is nice, when a bike lane is too wide, and not well marked, drivers will confusingly drive through it, or often you would see people taking advantage of the space for temporary double parking (This can also be found on 11th just North of Colorado). I encountered both of these issues on a regular basis riding to work every day. So I proposed if there is less than ideal space for bikes on one side, right in front of the popular Helen's bike shop, and more space than necessary on the other side, why not just shift the lines of the road over a little. Then at lunch the final paint had been done over the new markings and it looks like shifting the lines over a little is exactly what has been done. I have not confirmed for absolutely sure my comments led to this, but clearly the lines were marked one way and changed at the last minute exactly in the manner I described would be better.
Little details like this are easily overlooked, but they matter, and I'm really happy to see the change. Hopefully on my rides to work no more double parking and confused motorists using the bike lane as though it is for through way automobile traffic on the South side of this block, and a little more breathing room from the door zone on the North side. Additionally there is a second line more clearly delineating the bike lane from the car parking, and where extra space was available they even painted in a little buffer zone to account for the door zone hazard. This is not the most perfect bike lane routed block of street in the world, but it's a noticeable improvement over it's former self with minimal effort and zero impact to automobile traffic lanes. All it took was moving a little paint around slightly differently on a section of road that was being redone anyways.
In less cheerful news, the warm fuzzy feeling of seeing a bike lane improved was tempered by frustration with two near misses today. This morning an SUV driver making a left that was not paying attention and nearly ran me down while I was walking in the crosswalk after finishing up a jog. Anyone who knows me knows I jog almost never, as much as I say it would be a good idea to cross train for cycling. Yet this is the 2nd time on a morning jog an SUV driver making a left went flying through the intersection on green after an initial delayed reaction (indicative of the mindless driver type), with me in the middle of the crosswalk having to jump out of the way. Always followed by the screeching stop and blank look like what was I doing in the crosswalk. The last time this happened a few months ago the person driving actually screamed at me despite my clear right of way.
Then during my lunch break, a few blocks down after passing the newly repainted block, I was nearly merged into by a motorist stuck in traffic who started erratically swerving in that futile effort I see sometimes when a driver will try to shove their car into spaces they don't fit as though that can allow them to skip the long line of traffic ahead. I had a feeling they were about to do it, and was able to avoid it, but it's a good reminder that bike lanes are only a psychological barrier, and the occasional semi-psychotic driver, driven by traffic madness, will believe them self able to move through spaces they cannot fit. I will refer to this as 2 wheel envy, and when traffic is really bad, take caution as you pass the idling cars, sometimes drivers will despite all logical reasoning, try to fit their block into the circle hole so to speak.

Your story about the idiotic driver who attempted to ride down the bike lane reminds me of why my boyfriend bought me the really loud air horn for cyclists. Now I've got a bell for motorists who just need to pay a little bit of attention and the air horn for motorists who are already emitting hostility and will be wildly surprised to see I'll fight fire with fire. I should be nicer, though.

Wealden Quarries
At the end of July 2008 I had the opportunity to visit two Wealden quarries that were new to me. I was aware of them, however, and was familiar with their history over the years. They were both within a few miles of each other and both were only a few miles from Misty Bluff and indeed were both working clay quarries.
Peacefield (name changed) was, by reputation, a quarry that, although could hardly be thought of as prolific, turned up some excellent vertebrate remains and I had earlier seen an exceptionally preserved dorsal vertebra from an Iguanodon that really whetted the appetite.
The drive to Peacefield was pleasant and as I pulled up to park on site, I felt very comfortable straight away. It felt "right". I was also pleased to see a few people there that I knew from the Bluff and after the usual greetings and predictions about what may be found, we made our way into the quarry.
I was immediately struck by how deep the quarry was. The Bluff is fairly deep and covers a much wider area but Peacefield was much narrower and not that long but it was certainly deeper and it had the look of one of an American open cast coal mine.
I stayed with the upper levels to begin with since these correlated with the dinosaur beds at the Bluff. These were quite hard to interpret since the colours of the clays and sandstones were hard to differentiate, unlike the Bluff, where the stratum is much easier to split. Because of this I prospected like a skier would traverse, hoping to come across the correct strata with fossils perhaps weathering out.
Unfortunately this was not to be the case and the plant growth at this level also added to the difficulty. There was quite a bit of wood weathering out and I spent time examining these areas but to no avail. This strata needs scraping again but this does appear unlikely at the moment.
I decided to change tact and move lower into the quarry, still hoping to find the odd reptile bone but also looking for fish remains. I descended deeper and deeper but still I could find no fossil remains. At this point it became apparent that very little was being found and I knew then that my chances of finding anything were remote. Indeed the only fossils of consequence were a nice fossil plant and a small partial lepidotid fish jaw, with teeth in situ.
It was time to move on although we had spent only a couple of hours in the quarry. Peacefield was obviously not giving too much away today but it is a quarry I would like to go back to and try again.
Only a couple of miles away, in the same Wealden formation, is Cuckoo's Hole quarry. This is another site with a big reputation for yielding high quality vertebrate remains and I was looking forward to the experience. After parking the cars we moved through the brickworks on route to the quarry – it was a very similar set up to the Bluff.
Instantly I felt more comfortable here than I did at Peacefield. Although nothing like Peacefield or the Bluff in depth or shape, I could make out the different layers of clay and indeed it felt much more familiar. What was different, however, were the layers of dark red sandstone with which this quarry is synonymous. It appeared to me to be very strange to have such a vivid colour in a Wealden quarry.
Again I kept to the upper layers of the formation, firstly walking above the red sandstone and then onto the Wealden clays themselves. Again I was struggling to find anything when I noticed a small group of fellow prospectors working in one particular level. Unbeknown to me at that point was this was a dinosaur bone bearing horizon similar to the one at the Bluff. I walked slowly past, oblivious to what I was walking on!
From here I stepped down a couple of beds, hoping to find some fish remains and this time I was a little more successful. Parallel to the bone bearing horizon is an access road and below this road the strata dips at an angle of about 5°. I started to prospect along a lighter clay/shale band for I knew that at the Bluff, before it disappeared, this bed had turned up numerous fish remains.
Only a few metres along this bed I found a couple of lepidotid scales and then, just a little further on came upon a piece of a shark spine, probably Hybodus Sp. A little more careful excavation enabled me to recover more of the spine and it looked that the pieces may fit together. Further along this horizon I found more scales, a few small fish vertebrae and a small sandstone block that was full of fish remains. All in all I felt much happier.
As I approached the end of this bed I came across a few others who had found a nice little insect bed but this was only producing flies. This bed was on yet another access road and I noticed that the bed I was prospecting continued on the other side. Here I recovered a couple more scales but little else. At this point our time on site was running out and we slowly gathered together to see what had been found.
There were a couple of bones recovered from the dinosaur bearing bed of which one was a small caudal vertebra. One of the guys thought it may be from a sauropod but it was far too small for my liking. On the other hand I now knew for sure that it wasn't crocodilian either, so the bone remains a mystery for the moment. The other bone was too scrappy to be diagnostic.
The find of the day, however, was a dinosaur bone for sure. Encased in a block of sandstone and found at the other end of the quarry more or less opposite from where I was. The guy who found it was someone I'd met on numerous occasions and what he didn't know about these Wealden quarries wasn't worth mentioning.
Unfortunately the bone had been broken off at some point in the past and only the proximal end remained but straight away we all thought that it may be a partial ischium – a really nice piece. Later I showed a photograph to Mark from the NHM and he agreed with the initial prognosis. I'll let you know when identification is confirmed.
We made our way out of the quarry, thus bringing another day to an end. Out of the two quarries I much preferred Cuckoo's Hole although I would return to Peacefield given the opportunity. After a couple of trips now on which two locations are visited on the same day, I would much prefer only the one venue to be visited since you never really get the time you need to really get the feel for a place.
A good day though and I look forward to returning to one of these quarries next year.
Sadly, on the day of this visit, we were to find that most of the brick quarries in the area were falling victims to the economic recession that has hit the building trade. Peacefield is reducing output to about 50% although the Cuckoo's Hole is still working as normal.
Most disturbing of all was the future of Misty Bluff. With over forty of its staff laid off the entire site has been mothballed with immediate effect, with only a skeleton crew to keep things ticking over – at least for the short term. Fortunately, the brick works has had muti-million pound investment over the last few years and thus, in my opinion, is unlikely to suffer permanent closure. I feel that this is the reason the site has been closed relatively quickly – to protect the investment with a view to (hopefully) reopening during 2010, maybe earlier if the recession ends quicker than anticipated.
All of these sites are to be closed for an extended 12 week break over the Christmas holiday period, which seems sensible since this is the slowest period in the building industry. However, this does not help the people employed in the brick business and my thoughts go out to them and their families in what must a difficult time for them.
What do these problems mean for us palaeontologists and geologists then? As far as the Bluff is concerned, this year's final field trip goes ahead and, at time of writing, next years field trips are safe. However, with no new scrapings of clay taking place for the foreseeable future, we are reliant on the forces of nature to reveal new fossils for us and that, combined with rapid plant growth in the quarry, are going to make the next couple of years extremely hard, and the Bluff is unforgiving at the best of times.
The Bluff has a hundred years of clay remaining and I am hopeful of a bright future for it. The sooner the economic climate takes an upturn the better, the better for us and, more importantly, better for all those employed in this very important industry.
Footnote to the Footnote
Since I wrote this piece there have been a couple of developments. It is with regret that I have to report that the Cuckoo's Hole brick works and quarry have been closed indefinitely because of the recession. At present, there is little information that can be gleaned about the future of the site and there are more rumours flying around than hard facts.
The quarry is a designated SSSI and as such does receive a modicum of protection for now, but as for the long term future, nobody knows. I'll let you know just as soon as I know anything. Peacefield, maybe more surprisingly, is still working but on a vastly reduced scale and its future too is uncertain.
Its all as was with the Bluff but without the prospects of any new scrapings just yet, good finds are increasingly rare. This all ties in with the works at Quarry 4 which, although Quarry 5 has been opened now, also continues to produce at half capacity.
I have been made aware that the geological and palaeontological world is now considerably poorer in the UK since so many working quarries have permanently closed during the last two years. One can only hope at time of writing (May 2010) that, now that the general election is out of the way, we can look forward to a more vigorous economic recovery and that all of these quarries can be reopened and back to working at full capacity as soon as possible.

A summary of resources, research, news and events in open scholarship for the preceding month
All research funded by NHMRC to be accessible free of charge
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has joined other international health research funding bodies, both governmental (such as NIH) and philanthropic (such as the Wellcome Trust), in requiring that publications from research funded by us are placed in the public domain – so called "open access". This also assists other researchers in planning and conducting their research. Open access is particularly important for researchers in low income countries.
Excellent You Tube video about Creative Commons
This was produced in NZ and explains it all beautifully.
If linked open data and RDF triples are still a bit of a mystery, try this really nice introductory animation video about what it is and its benefits for users and data providers:
World map of downloads of MIT OA research
It supports argument that Australia would lose out if the RWA went ahead! "MIT Faculty Articles Downloaded Worldwide Through Open Access Policy"
Your opportunity to build world resources on filling repositories
The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) is kicking off a new project to collect and disseminate sustainable, replicable best practices related to populating repositories. They are particularly interested in collecting advice and experience of institutions in areas such as: "Lessons learned: what's worked and what hasn't?" "Workflows or strategies to gather content and populate repositories over time", "Long-term staffing, operational plans, or campus partnerships that have lead to consistently higher rates of deposit," "Automated processes to gather content and populate repositories." Email [email@example.com?] any documents that you think might be relevant including handouts, brochures, articles, websites, or your own description of an initiative. We will be collecting and reviewing information in March and April.
Good US report about access to taxpayer funded research
This report includes interesting figures like: the National Institutes of Health mandate to deposit work to the PubMed Central repository has resulted in 2.3 million articles deposited over four years and there are roughly 500,000 unique visitors to PMC on a typical workday."The future of taxpayer-funded research: Who will control Access" - CED 2012
Electronic Theses in the UK: A Sector Wide Survey into Policies, Practice, and Barriers to Open Access
This is a short presentation with a summary from the report
Report: Influencing the Deposit of Electronic Theses in UK HE (Dec2010)
62 out of the 90 HEIs (69%) that currently accept e-theses make them openly accessible. The survey found high levels of reported concern about the risks associated with: Third party copyright infringement, Plagiarism, Sensitive data within theses, Open e-thesis deposit potentially hindering the author's future publication prospects However, very few actual instances of copyright-driven 'takedown', plagiarism, issues arising from data sensitivity, or publication refusal were reported. In every case, HEIs are actively managing these risks.
Interview with Michael Eisen, co-founder of the Public Library of Science
Michael Eisen is an evolutionary biologist at University of California Berkeley and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is also co-founder of the Open Access (OA) publisher Public Library of Science (PLoS). Founded in 2000, PLoS was conceived as an advocacy group for what only later became known as Open Access. PLoS' first initiative was to publish an Open Letter and invite scientists around the world to sign on to it....
Libraries are vital to scholarly reading
JISC Collections, together with Professor Carol Tenopir from the Center for Information and Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee, has carried out research to measure the value and outcomes from access to scholarly publications by academics. The research also examined what academics would do if library resources were not available. The findings suggest that without the library, academics and their departments would not find articles of such quality, that they would find fewer related articles, and that it would be a significantly more costly and time-consuming process. "UK Scholarly Reading and the Value of Library Resources report"
Online measuring of impact is not yet suited for research assessment exercises
SURF foundation in the Netherlands have announced a new report which shows individual researchers benefit from online impact assessment, but it isn't ready yet to replace the systems we have. The rather hilariously named "Users, Narcissism and Control" is available here
Can we enhance the google-scholar discoverability of EPrints (and DSpace) repositories?
Abstract: Google Scholar has difficulty indexing the contents of institutional repositories, and the authors hypothesize the reason is that most repositories use Dublin Core, which cannot express bibliographic citation information adequately for academic papers. Google Scholar makes specific recommendations for repositories, including the use of publishing industry metadata schemas over Dublin Core. This paper tests a theory that transforming metadata schemas in institutional repositories will lead to increased indexing by Google Scholar. Kenning Arlitsch, Patrick Shawn OBrien, (2012) "Invisible Institutional Repositories: Addressing the Low Indexing Ratios of IRs in Google Scholar", Library Hi Tech, Vol. 30 Iss: 1
Note that ePrints reckons some of this is wrong
Tim Brody After all that is said, the most critical factor to IR visibility is having (BOAI definition) open access content. Hiding content behind search forms, click-throughs and other things that emphasise the IR at the expense of the content will hurt your visibility. Lastly, Google will index your metadata-only records while Google Scholar is looking for full-texts. Your GS/Google ratio will approximate how many of your records have an attached open access PDF (.doc etc).
Just a note that as of DSpace 1.7.0 (released Dec 2010), DSpace ships with Google Scholar recommended metadata enabled out-of-the-box. For that release, DSpace developers at MIT actually worked directly with the technology lead for Google Scholar to ensure DSpace content could be more discoverable via Google Scholar. However, it is worth noting that institutions may need to modify the configuration of the DSpace Google Scholar "mappings" if they have customized their local DSpace metadata schema in any way. Those instructions are in our DSpace Documentation at:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Google+Scholar+Metadata+Mappings DSpace also provides general hints/tips on ensuring that your institutions' DSpace installation is indexed/discoverable via Google (and other search engines) in general. Many of these tips were actually written/provided by Robert Tansley at Google (initial creator of DSpace).
What Google Scholar has to say about inclusion
We encourage you to go over the Google Scholar inclusion guidelines at http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html to see if your repository meets the guidelines for indexing. It would probably also be good to discuss the guidelines with the provider of your repository software.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety Board will issue an "interim factual report" at 11 a.m. ET Thursday on its investigation into a battery fire aboard a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane on January 7.
The information will be "factual in nature and does not provide any analysis," the agency said.
Sources familiar with the matter said the report would not include conclusions about the cause of the fire, or recommendations for the Federal Aviation Administration, which is considering a proposal by Boeing Co (BA.N) to address the risks of fire aboard the plane. FAA approval of the plan could come within days, according to sources familiar with the plan.
The report marks a milestone in the agency's probe into one of two lithium-ion batteries that burned on 787 jets in January. Japanese regulators are investing the second incident.
However, the NTSB is still early in the investigation into the cause of the blaze. Because the battery was badly burned in the January 7 fire in Boston, investigators may never determine a root cause, experts said.
Boeing delivered its plan to address the battery risks to the FAA on February 22.
"The FAA has indicated they are evaluating our proposal for a permanent fix to address the 787 battery issue and we are encouraged by the progress being made toward resolving the issue and returning the 787 to flight," Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said.

I'm out here in the arrid zone o' Arizona. Did my talk yesterday at a local Universalist Unitarian church and a wonderful time was had by all. (I know I must have said this before, but my journalism teacher in high school told us never to use that phrase and now that I'm some kind of "pro" writer, I use it every chance I get.) I got two more talks out here. Today at 1 at the Barnes and Noble in Desert Ridge and tomorrow at 7PM at Changing Hands bookstore in Tempe.
By the way, Tempe is pronounced "tem-pee." I always thought it was "tem-pay." But that's not so bad because there seems to be no agreement among Los Angeles residents as to how to pronounce Los Feliz.
I'm not gonna put the list of plugs in this entry. Just scroll down a few inches and it's there. I've taken away the bit about the computer because I sold it.

About Joep van Liefland
Joep is a collector of the discontinued
"Blank cassettes are fascinating. Leaving the factory they are all the same, but then they get used by people who put their movies and shows on it, write on it, use and reuse it. A standardized mass product gets personally inscribed."
Contemporary Berlin-based artist Joep van Liefland creates artworks that are concerned with obsolete technology: VHS cassettes, forgotten cords, bulky audio players and remote controls. His work is informed by a wide variety of artists, filmmakers, writers and philosophers, such as Paul Thek, Nikolai Fyodorov and Philip K. Dick. Van Liefland is also one of the founders of Berlin project space, Autocenter, one of the longest artist-run spaces in the city. He has created two works for Absolut. One is entitled "Im Meer der Gefühle", meaning "In the sea of feelings", and features a snapshot of the only pink VHS cassette in his studio. His other work, "RGB 203", shows red, green and blue stripes, the fundamental colours that are found in every any electronic screen.

Former UBS AG trader Kweku Adoboli was found guilty of fraud in relation to a $2.3 billion loss, the largest from unauthorized trading in British history. He was cleared on four counts of false accounting.
Adoboli was convicted today following a two-month-long London trial, during which lawyers for the 32-year-old argued UBS managers pushed traders to take too many risks and rule-breaking at the bank was rampant.
The conviction means Adoboli will be mentioned in the same breath as rogue traders Jerome Kerviel, who was found guilty of causing a 4.9 billion-euro ($6.3 billion) trading loss at Societe Generale SA, and Nick Leeson, the former derivatives trader jailed for losses that brought down Barings Plc in 1995. While UBS warned investment-bank employees to report signs of illicit trading after Kerviel's loss, Adoboli said he could only reach the bank's goals set by ignoring such warnings.
"Behind all the technical financial jargon in this case, the question for the jury was whether Kweku Adoboli had acted dishonestly, in causing a loss to the bank of $2.3 billion," said Andrew Penhale, deputy head of fraud at the Crown Prosecution Service. "The amount of money involved was staggering, impacting hugely on the bank but also on their employees, shareholders and investors. This was not a victimless crime."
Navy Suit
Wearing a navy suit, white shirt and red tie at the hearing today in Southwark Crown Court, Adoboli reacted to the jury's verdict by nodding his head and looking down. He admitted causing the loss, but said he didn't do it dishonestly. He pleaded not guilty.
Adoboli's lawyer, Tim Harris, declined to immediately comment after the verdict was issued.
While the 10-member jury was unanimous in finding Adoboli guilty of one count of fraud early today, jurors didn't reach unanimous decisions on the other five counts. Judge Brian Keith then agreed to accept 9-1 decisions and jurors returned their verdicts on the other charges.
"To be guilty of false accounting the jury had to be satisfied that he was doing it for personal gain," said Mark Spragg, a lawyer at Keystone Law. "They could have taken the position that he was reporting up the line to people that did know."
Keith said he will sentence Adoboli later today. In the U.K., fraud charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail, while false accounting can bring a seven-year term.

The Whaleshark Flipper from Microtech is an impressive knife that boasts great style, solid performance and innovative design! Microtech's intent on designing a knife with solid G-10 composite handles, was to move away from "old school" handle materials like aluminum.
The handle features super lightweight 3D contoured G10 slabs, but does not compromise strength or durability. The contoured back spacer and tip-up carry pocket clip feature titanium as well. The S35VN steel blade is deployed via the flipper on the spine of the knife and the action is superb, thanks to the ceramic bearing system. This knife has an adjustable Torx T30 pivot screw!

My question is in regard to the maximum allowed value for "Ignition Cycle Since DTC was Set (times)" and "Airbag Warning Lamp ON Time Since DTC was Set (min)" from the DTC table of a report.
The ignition cycle number of 2047 could be a coincidence, but because it is one shy of a 12 bit number, I would like confirmation it is possible to go higher. Also, I am unsure if the warning lamp on time is maxed at 31,442, or again, if it is possible to have a larger value.
The reason this is a concern is the seat belt status shows differently between multiple events with the same values in this table. The events are 26, 25 and 20, 20 being the event showing a different seat belt status, but identical DTC table.
I know it is preferred to have the CDR report and I am working on getting a sanitized version but hopefully I've included enough information here.

Hanc epistulam aliter quàm in libro Christophori Cellarii invenire non possum. Ecquis novit alium eius fontem? suntne errores a me facti in vertendo?
Christoph Cellarius, [b]Caesaris Commentarii De Bello Gallico et Civili[/b] (Lipsiae, 1746), p.716, wrote:C. IVLII CAESARIS FRAGMENTA EX LIBRIS EPISTOLARUM AD M.T. CICERONEM
Quum Furnium nostrum tantum vidissem, neque loqui, neque audire commode potuisset. quum properarem, atque essem in itinere, praemissis iam legionibus: praeterire tamen non potui, quin & scriberam ad te & illum mitterem, gratiasque agerem. etsi hoc officium & feci saepe, & saepius mihi facturus videor: ita & de me mereris, in primis a te peto, quoniam confido me celeriter ad urbem venturum, ut te ibi videam; ut tuo consilio, gratia, dignitate, ope omnium rerum uti possim. Ad propositum revertar: festinationi meae gravitatique litterarm ignosces, reliqua ex Furnio cognosces. Vale.
Ex Cic. lib. IX. ad Attic. cp. VI.
"Although I had seen our Furnius a lot, I hadn't been able to comfortably listen or talk, as I was in a hurry and on the march, with the legions already sent ahead: however I couldn't neglect to write to you and send him and thank you. Even if this visit is one I have often made, & one I see myself making more often in the future, and so you deserve it from me, above all I ask of you, since I expect that I will be arriving soon near the city, that I would see you there, so that I might be able to avail of your advice, goodwill, grace and influence in all things. I must return to the matter in hand: please forgive my haste and the heavy handwriting. You'll learn the rest from Furnius. Bye."

The Nitty Gritty Dirty Band, which formed in Long Beach, never let the Palomino Stage audience rest during the second day of the Stagecoach Country Music Festival with its songs ranging from gospel to country rock.
The country/folk song "Mr. Bojangles" drew a loud sing-along chant from the audience, while the song "Ripplin' Waters" drew just as many loud cheers despite 10 mph wind and some dust at the festival.
Crowd participation went to another level for the 1987 No. 1 hit "Fishin' in the Dark" where fans shouted back the lyrics and the chorus back to the group.
The 1970's song "Bayou Jubilee" calmed down the crowd before the group went into ""Jambalaya (On The Bayou)" that picked up the pace again.
The group ended with the gospel song "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"
Dave Jantzi of Canada said he enjoyed the set.
"Lots of energy," Jantzi said, adding he really enjoyed the group's final song.

Introduction / HistoryAnsari is Arabic and is derived from Ansar (also Arabic) which has a literal meaning of "those who support". It is considered to be primarily a nisbat which is a second or suffix name used as a specifier. Ansar originated from the Medinan people who assisted the prophet Muhammed as he migrated from Mecca to Medina. These people later became his emissaries and soldiers.
The Ansari weaver invited the businessman into his home. When the two men sat down to tea, the weaver told him the story of his community. "We Ansaris live for generations in the same house. Most of our relatives live on this street. Allah has blessed us. All our family members work together in our carpet business, and our kids grow up together. We even have our own mosque just up the street. You said that we were the friendliest people you have met in India. Our name, 'Ansari,' means 'friend indeed' or 'one who helps.' We can trace our ancestors back to a community in Saudi Arabia called 'Ansari.' When our prophet Mohammed and his men were trying to escape from his enemies, he was welcomed into the homes of the Ansari people in Medina. Allah has taught us to do good deeds. This may allow us someday to be in Paradise." (Source: Global Prayer Digest 2008-8-22)
Where are they located?The Ansari reside in most countries of South Asia.
What are their lives like?They are predominately artisans by trade and are mostly poor and illiterate. The weaving of silk is a common trade skill of these people. Although traditionally weavers and textile sellers, the Ansaris are now involved in a wide range of small business in towns like Janakpur or Lumbini. Predominately in the Maithili language, though also in Nepali or Bhojpuri, these textile artisans trade with Darzi tailors and other Muslim merchants. The Ansaris are not vegetarian and widely accepting of drink and food from other communities. They tend, however, to be rather clannish and guarded about marriage within the group. Bangles and beads are commonly worn and glass bangles are a symbol of married women in some communities. The Ansaris are Muslim who practice Islamic laws for life and living, though folk Islam practices are common.
What are their beliefs?The Ansaris are Muslim who practice folk Islam which incorporates many folk beliefs into their observance of the religion. There are almost no followers of Christ among the Muslim Ansaris.
What are their needs?The friendliness of the Ansaris can open doors for believers to develop closeness and opportunities to share the gospel. In recent years numerous teams have begun working in north India among the Ansaris but almost no work has begun in Nepal. Pray for the expansion of country work into the Ansari communities of Narayani, Bheri and Lumbini Zones.

Brokerage giant Merrill Lynch settles discrimination lawsuit
Thursday, August 29, 2013
CHICAGO -- Lawyers for hundreds of black financial advisers have reached a $160 million settlement in a lawsuit accusing Wall Street brokerage giant Merrill Lynch of racial discrimination, a plaintiffs' attorney said Wednesday.
If approved by a federal judge in Chicago, the payout by Merrill Lynch to about 1,200 plaintiffs would be one of the largest ever in a racial discrimination case, Chicago-based attorney Suzanne E. Bish said.
Bank of America-owned Merrill Lynch -- one of the world's largest brokerages with more than 15,000 financial advisers -- issued a statement Wednesday saying only, "We're not at this point commenting on the existence of the settlement nor the status of a settlement."
Lead plaintiff George McReynolds accused Merrill Lynch of steering black brokers away from the most lucrative business and so, under a compensation system emphasizing production, they earned less than their white counterparts. They made 43 percent less in compensation on average in 2006, plaintiff filings allege.
The settlement coincides with the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech," Bish noted. She said she hopes the case will help ensure the kind of equal opportunity King spoke about in Washington, D.C.
"I'm getting goose bumps thinking about it," she said about the coincidence the settlement came around the anniversary. "What [the plaintiffs] wanted to achieve was the same opportunities for the next generation -- for their children."
Bish said the settlement should force changes beyond the company singled out as the defendant in the eight-year-old lawsuit.
"They are leaders on Wall Street," she said. "And increasing opportunities for African-Americans at Merrill Lynch should spill over to the rest of Wall Street."
The president of the Washington, D.C.-based National Black Chamber of Commerce, Harry C. Alford, echoed that.
"I am elated, ecstatic," he said about the settlement. "It should send a message to Wall Street: You need to be conscious of discrimination and make sure you don't discriminate."
In its own filings in the case over recent years, Merrill Lynch denied the discrimination allegation and staunchly defended its compensation programs.
"All [financial advisers], regardless of race, are judged by the same metric," one of the company's filings argued. "The rule is simple: produce more, earn more."
Settlements don't necessarily imply that a defendant accepts any wrongdoing. Bish said she could not discuss detailed terms of the agreement with Merrill Lynch.
But plaintiffs claimed discrimination pervaded Merrill Lynch, at least partly because the company employed relatively few African-Americans overall. In a 2009 plaintiffs' filing, they contended that fewer than 2 percent of the brokers at Merrill Lynch were black.
"Far from being a colorblind meritocracy, race permeates policy and practice in a way that creates substantial obstacles to equal employment opportunity for Merrill Lynch's African-American employees," William T. Bielby, a professor of sociology, said in the filing.
Merrill Lynch sometimes relied on stereotypes, the filing also asserted, once allegedly suggesting managers encourage black brokers to "learn to play golf or other activities designed to learn how business gets done in manners (they) might not be familiar with."
McReynolds, of Nashville, Tenn., began working for Merrill Lynch in 1983 and continues to work for the firm. In his complaint alleging discrimination, he said his managers once took his office away his office after 20 years on the job and moved him to noisy, heavily trafficked cubical by a women's restroom.
When attorneys filed the lawsuit 2005, McReynolds was the lone plaintiff, though hundreds of others signed on as the suit wound its way through the court, at times appearing as if it might be doomed.
Robert Gettleman, the U.S. district judge overseeing the case in Chicago, had denied the suit class-action status. But the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago granted the status in 2012 -- reviving the case and vastly extending its reach.
Gettleman must formally approve the deal, a process that could take months. A status hearing in the case is scheduled for Sept. 3.

Ulrich,a Republican, recently announced that he would be challenging Addabbo, a Democrat for the newly redrawn 15th State Senatorial District. Ulrich is a rising star in the world of New York City politics, and while Democrats generally have a stranglehold on seats in New York City, elections in South Queens are notoriously hard to call for one party or the other, and Ulrich will be a formidable challenge.
Despite his popularity, Ulrich doesn't get along too well with the folks who run the Queens County Republican Party. Scratch that. Ulrich doesn't get along at all with the folks who run the Queens County Republican Party.
So rather than throw their support behind Ulrich and make a serious run at taking the seat from the Democrats, the Queens GOP instead went and endorsed a different candidate, Juan Reyes.
Party leadership said that Ulrich failed to show up at an endorsement meeting with them, therefore they had no choice but to back Reyes. Of course, Ulrich has been publicly shunning party leadership for about the past two years, so we're not sure why they thought he would do any different this time around.
But the very public squabbles with Ulrich are now the least of the Queens GOP's problems.
According to the New York Post, the FBI has launched an investigation into the Queens Republican Party amid allegations Board of Elections employees recommended by the party may have used their positions to further their careers as political consultants.
And according to the Post, party Chairman Phil Ragusa and Executive Vice Chairman Vincent Tabone pushed one BOE official out of her job because she wouldn't help them get a political rival off the ballot.
Bad news indeed for the Queens Republican Party.
If the allegations are true, Ulrich might not have to worry too much longer about his issues with party leadership.

Caroline Wozniacki is still no. 1 – and more importantly – still alive, at the AO. (Getty/ Clive Brunskill)
Christopher Phillips, a regular TSF contributor, weighs in on the semifinal match-ups over the next two days in Melbourne. Phillips lives, works and plays in Los Angeles, answering to a number of different bosses. Tragically, last year, he was speechless for weeks after learning of the retirement of Elena Dementieva and is currently on a search to find her replacement in his heart. | More: And for the gentlemen
Well… the semifinals have arrived (almost) as I predicted. An on-fire Li Na takes on faux-kangaroo lover Caroline Wozniacki while Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva meet at a Slam for the third time in a row (they're 1-1 so far). But where does it go from here?
Li has won all of her matches in straight sets, with the most difficult coming in first round versus Sofia Arvidsson. Li has broken her opponents no less than four times each match while maintaining her own first serve percentage at an average of 72.4%.
Wozniacki, on the other hand, hasn't won her matches as decisively as her opponent, and I do have to admit I thought Francesca Schiavone still had a chance deep into the third set to win the match. While Caro gutted through to the win, the way she let an injured, fatigued Schiavone dictate the match from the first point I think will be her downfall when she faces a stronger, healthier and confident Li.
Li leads the head-to-head 2-1 with both of her wins coming last year on Australian soil in Sydney and Melbourne, respectively, so I pick her to make her home country proud by being the first Chinese woman to reach a major final.
On the other half of the draw it's Clijsters pitted against a resurgent Zvonareva. This one could go either way really. Zvonareva's only dropped one set in five matches – to Serbian Bojana Jovanovski in the second round. Clijsters, meanwhile, hasn't dropped one yet, but was pushed to one tiebreak in each of her last three matches and looked shaky at times.
Apart from Vera falling apart during the USO final, the Russian beat Kim three times last year – including at Wimbledon. Since Clijsters holds an advantage of second-serve points won (60% to Zvonareva's 46%), I'm going with Clijsters in three sets in the battle of two baseliners.

The High Line in 2009 is a story of success. After ten years of arguing, working, raising money, convincing, and building, the High Line finally opened as the civic marvel that many had dreamed it could become during its decades of disuse. However, this story of success began with a much earlier fight back in the 1970s , when a man named Peter Obletz first walked the High Line- what he referred to as a "mile and a half long cocktail sausage on toothpicks." Though Obletz ultimately failed to convince the city to reuse the High Line, his initial fight paved the way for the successes of the future.
Obletz, a former dance-company manager and train enthusiast, lived in a concrete block railroad building next door to two antique rail cars he had painstakingly restored in the late 1970s. Obletz took his first trip up to the High Line during this time and fell in love immediately. The subsequent story has been recounted many times since, from his purchase of the line from Conrail for $10, to his long and draining fight to preserve it both for commercial and public use, to his untimely death in 1996.
Journalist Karen Cook once wrote a lengthy piece on Peter Obletz and his original campaign to save the High Line. She was inspired to reach out to us after visiting the park for the first time last month. Karen interviewed Peter for a 1987 article for Manhattan, Inc. magazine, which offers a more personal look at Peter, as well as his prescient ideas for the High Line;
"We proposed that during the time when the trains weren't running, that perhaps the railroad line could be devoted to some recreational uses for the community—a linear park or jogging paths, something like that…It's an incredible environment for pedestrians, but it takes a lot of preparation if, you know, we're committed to things like full access—there's one ramp and a couple of stairways," he said.

misuse of modal verbs (might/may especially)
Hugh Weldon wrote:Philmisuse of modal verbs (might/may especially)
I thought these were subjunctives - 'may have peaked' indicates doubt or uncertainty whether he has, and the mood is thus subjunctive. Your more confident assertion 'it will put an end to...' is on the other hand indicative. Aren't modals things like should, could, would etc. I merely ask as a non-tennis fan but ever curious about language, you appear to have a firmer grasp on these matters.

Hello heroes!
First off - Thank you so much for providing a great tool.
Now, many say that GS is becoming more of a burdain than anything else but I have to agree.
Unless someone else can come up with some other system to rate people to know if they will contribute in a pug or whatever, I say, why not use wow-heroes?
OK, so for this addon talk.
I know you must have a calculation method worked out, maybe it's set in stone, maybe you're redesigning it - whatever...
Did you ever think about maybe working with other addon builders like Mirrikat45 from curse to help you guys out and get an addon delivered?
Some people say that you guys pull more info from armory than just the current equipped items, but most info is now available from in-game character inspection (If you include achievements)
An addon that would get even close to your GS calculations would help a lot for us raid assistants etc.
What is your thought? Plans?

|2010 Summer Science Visit Day
Wabash science faculty and summer interns shared their summer research with prospective students and their families Friday as the College hosted a Summer Science Day.
Prospective students joined physics professors and their interns in Goodrich Hall during the group's weekly meeting to discuss the progress made, problems encountered, and questions being asked concerning the various projects.
Then it was on to Hays Science Hall to meet with biology and chemistry interns and professors. Prospective students learned quickly that as Wabash students they would be full partners in the research they perform—interns did much of the teaching during the sessions with their campus guests.
Above, Austin Drake '11 explains his research project with Chemistry Professor Walter Novak to high school students considering Wabash.

Sprint has expanded its LTE network to 11 more cities today. The third-place US carrier will be expanding into smaller cities in seven states, including Virginia, Indiana, and Massachusetts. This is part of a larger rollout by Sprint to increase LTE coverage as well as improve the quality of their 3G network. The following areas gained LTE today, with Sprint planning to expand their coverage in the following months:
- Anderson, Ind.
- Clarke County, Va./Jefferson County, W.Va.
- Harrisburg/Carlisle/Hershey, Pa.
- Hagerstown, Md./Martinsburg, W.Va.
- Harrisonburg, Va.
- Muncie, Ind.
- Peabody, Mass.
- Salina, Kan.
- Shenandoah County, Va.
- South Bend/Mishawaka, Ind.
- Winchester, Va.
So far, Sprint has been behind AT&T and Verizon in rolling out LTE. Japanese carrier Softbank's purchase of a large stake in Sprint may allow them some breathing room as they attempt to remain competitive. The rollout of LTE is now critical for any carrier, and the expansion of high-speed networks outside of larger metropolitan areas is important. Sprint needs to expand their LTE coverage as quickly as possible, especially now that most new smartphones, including the iPhone 5, have LTE. Customers being unable to access one of their device's main features tends to be the sort of thing that turns them into former customers, so Sprint needs to act as fast as they can to keep their users happy. Sprint plans for their LTE expansion to be complete by the end of 2013.

I remember a few years back when the local store had a sale on a cut of meat (I don't remember which cut) I got to the store late and there were only two packages of meat left. A couple got there ahead of me, picked up one that was similarly marbled, exclaimed at how fatty it was, shuddered, and took the other one. I swooped in and grabbed the last "fatty" package, took it home, and had one of the most succulent and tender steaks of my life. It is really a shame when people are so fat-phobic that they can't enjoy a really well-marbled steak.
