LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ensco plc (NYSE: ESV) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of US$0.50 per Class A ordinary share payable on 22 March 2013 to holders of Ensco's shares as of the 11 March 2013 record date. The prior quarterly dividend was $0.375 per share.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Rabun stated, "Our strong financial position and positive outlook for future earnings growth supports this increase to our quarterly cash dividend. Contracted revenue backlog is now a record $11 billion. Our active fleet has grown with the commencement of two additional ultra-deepwater rigs this quarter alone. And our fleet will continue to expand as we deliver six new rigs through the end of next year, which we expect will earn favorable day rates and multi-year terms. We continue to have a very bullish outlook in terms of customer demand for both deep- and shallow-water offshore markets. These factors give us significant visibility into future cash flows."
Mr. Rabun added, "Management and the Board believe the new dividend payout is prudent and sustainable. We expect that we will continue to have adequate liquidity to meet capital commitments for our rigs under construction, as well as sufficient flexibility to make new investments and return capital to shareholders."
Ensco plc (NYSE: ESV) brings energy to the world as a global provider of offshore drilling services to the petroleum industry. For more than 25 years, the company has focused on operating safely and exceeding customer expectations. Ensco is ranked #1 for total customer satisfaction with top honors in 10 of 16 categories in the most recent annual survey by EnergyPoint Research. Operating the world's newest ultra-deepwater fleet and largest fleet of active premium jackups, Ensco has a major presence in the most strategic offshore basins across six continents. Ensco plc is an English limited company (England No. 7023598) with its registered office and corporate headquarters located at 6 Chesterfield Gardens, London W1J 5BQ.

Subject: Bands in all lanes [SOUTHERN] Newsgroups: bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts Organization: Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine Summary: Keywords: Hello fellow bionetters, I am performing a genomic southern using 6 REs and DNA from 2 species. My probe is a 70bp fragment from the 5' end of my cDNA which I have labeled by random priming. The probe does not appear to contain repeat sequences. The DNA was digested well and transferred to nylon membranes. Hybridization at high stringency and exposure of X-ray film for 1 week was used. The blots are very clean. My results have been consistently puzzling. There are 8 bands ranging in size from 1 to 8 kb that appear in all lanes regardless of RE or specie. These bands vary in intensity but are about the same as the specific pattern over which they are superimposed. I think that if there was a contaminating DNA in the samples it would not yield the same bands after digestion with different REs. I tested my loading buffer for contamination by running just buffer and found none. There should not be so many introns covered by such a short probe. And they could not all happen to have the same RE sites. What could these bands be from and how can I solve this puzzle? Xiolan Zhang My E-mail address: xzhang at riker.neoucom.edu

[Hook - Snoop]
Gets the fuck out after you're done
And I hops in my ride to make a quick run
[Verse 1 - Dr. Dre]
I used to know a bitch named Eric Wright
We used to roll around and fuck the hoes at night
Tighter than a motherfucka with the gangsta beats
And we was balling on the motherfucking Compton streets
Peep, the shit got deep and it was on
Number 1 song after number 1 song
Long as my motherfucking pockets was fat
I didn't give a fuck where the bitch was at
But she was hanging with a white bitch doing the shit she do
Sucking on his dick just to get a buck or 2
And the few ends she got didn't mean nothing
Now she's suing cause the shit she be doing ain't shit
Bitch can't hang with the streets, she found herself short
So now she's taking me to court
It's real conversation for your ass
So recognize, and pass to Daz
[Verse 2 - Daz]
Now as I'm rolling with my nigga Dre and Eastwood
Fucking hoes, clocking dough - up to no good
We flip-flop and serve hoes like flapjacks
(Snoop: But we don't love them hoes) Bitch, and it's like that
This is what you look for in a ho who got cash flow
You run up in them hoes and grab the cash
And get your dash on
While you're chilling with your homies and shit
And how my niggas kick the anthem like this
(Snoop: Beyach!)
[Verse 3 - Kurupt]
To the store, to get me a 4-0
Snoop Doggy-Dogg paged, that must mean more hoes
So I head down the street to Long Beach
Just so I could meet a freak
To lick me from my head to my feet
And I'm here, now I'm ready to be done up
Nothing but homies around, so I puts my gun up
Bitches on my nuts like clothes
But I'm from Tha Pound and "we don't love them hoes"
How could you trust a ho? (Snoop: Why?)
Cause a ho's a trick
We don't love them tricks (Snoop: Why?)
Cause a trick's a bitch
And my dick's constantly in her mouth
And turning them trick-ass hoes the fuck out now
[Verse 4 - Snoop]
I once had a bitch named Mandy May
Used to be all in them guts like every day
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung
I was in love like a motherfucka, licking the pearl tongue
The homies used to tell me that she wasn't no good
But I'm the maniac in black, Mr. Snoop Eastwood
So I figure niggas wouldn't trip with mine
Guess what? Got gaffled by one-time
I'm back to the motherfucking county jail
6 months on my chest, now it's time to bail
I gets released on a hot sunny day
My nigga D.O.C. and my homey Dr. Dre
Scooped in a coupe, "Snoop we got news
Your girl was tricking while you was draped in your county blues"
I ain't been out a second
And already gotta do some motherfucking chin-checkin'
Move up the block as we groove down the block
See my girl's house, "Dre, pass the Glock"
Kick in the do', I look on the flo'
It's my little cousin Daz and he's fucking my ho, yo
(Bitches ain't shit)
I un-cock my shit...I'm heart-broke but I'm still loc'ed
Man, fuck a bitch!
[Verse 5 - Jewell]
I don't give a fuck about a bitch
But I and her know that they can't fade this
Cause I'm doin my own thing down with the swang
I'm hanging with Death Row like it ain't no thang
I say you know you can't deal, cause I'm a bitch that's real
Motherfuckers need to step back, hell yeah they need to chill
Because I don't give a fuck, and I don't give a fuck
And I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck
And now I gotta do some shit that's clean
But when I'm on a dick, hell yeah, I get real mean, hah
Like a washing machine I can wash the clothes
All the hoes knows that I'm on the flo', ho
But they can't hang with my type on swang
I ain't trying to say I suck every ding-a-lang
But just the juicy ones with the tip of the tongue
And then they're sprung, and with the nuts hung
(Bitches ain't shit)

The PageFrog plugin allows you to easily publish and manage your content directly from WordPress to Facebook Instant Articles (FBIA) and Google Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) with full support for ads and analytics.
What are Facebook Instant Articles and Google Accelerated Mobile Pages?
FBIA is a new mobile format developed by Facebook, which can be served to visitors accessing your content from the Facebook mobile app. AMP is a new mobile format developed by Google, which can be served to visitors accessing your content from Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest mobile apps.
Why should I optimize my content for FBIA and AMP?
The FBIA and AMP formats are built to load instantly on mobile devices and designed for higher engagements, resulting in improved News Feed Ranking and greatly benefits Search Engine Optimization.
Increase traffic and discoverability
Search engine optimization and social media discovery are extremely important when it comes to generating traffic. Both Facebook Newsfeed Ranking and Google PageRank rely on performance metrics such as page load times and visitor engagements to rank articles.
Native mobile formats such as FBIA and AMP offer unprecedented advantages when it comes to page performance. These mobile formats preload content and cache media files, allowing articles to load instantly for readers on mobile devices.
Boost engagements and shares
FBIA and AMP offer opportunities for true mobile experiences to captivate and engage readers. These formats allow for a number of advanced features specifically designed for mobile content such as audio captions, interactive maps, tilt-to-pan photos, and more.
These formats are deeply embedded into mainstream mobile apps such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. FBIA and AMP offer specific layouts designed to maximize social engagements such as Likes and Comments.

- What is Instant Articles?
Instant Articles is a tool for news publishers to distribute fast, interactive articles to their readers in the Facebook app.
- How do Instant Articles work?
Rather than loading an article using a web browser, which takes over 8 seconds on average, Instant Articles load using the same fast tools we use to load photos and videos in the Facebook app allowing articles to load as much as 10 times faster than standard mobile web articles. Beyond just speed, Instant Articles allow publishers to provide the same high quality, fluid experience and interactivity that people expect from a mobile app. Instant Articles has been designed with extensive feedback from news publishers. Publishers can serve their own ads and keep that revenue, track readership in real-time and with comScore, and customize the presentation of articles to match their brand.
- Will Instant Articles be required for publishers on Facebook moving forward?
No. Publishers have the option to participate in the Instant Articles program. Participating publishers retain full control of their content and publishing schedule, including how much to publish to Facebook. Standard article links will remain accessible from Facebook via the standard mobile browser for publishers that decline to participate. Our expectation is that people on Facebook will appreciate the enhanced accessibility of Instant Articles content, while publishers will see greater engagement for their content as a result.
- Why would publishers want to participate in Instant Articles?
There are several benefits for publishers. Faster article loading allows readers to get to content as quickly as possible. Facebook's experience with other media formats, such as auto-play video, has been that more rapid content loading generates increased content consumption and sharing. We believe Instant Articles will help publishers grow their businesses on Facebook.
- Do publishers need to create original content for Facebook?
No. Instant Articles is simply a faster, mobile-optimized way to publish and distribute stories on Facebook, and it supports automated content syndication using standards like HTML and RSS. Content published as Instant Articles will also be published on the publishers' websites.
- How much effort is required for publishers to reconfigure their content for Instant Articles?
It's a straightforward process for publishers to publish their articles in the Instant Article format because it uses HTML and RSS, standard ways for authoring articles on the web. Facebook translates articles authored for the web in HTML into the Instant Articles format. We also provide tools for publishers to preview articles prior to publication and make sure they display as they intended. Publishers who wish to embrace new elements like interactive maps and auto-play videos can use simple, well-documented HTML tags to enhance their content with rich-media features.
- What types of articles work best for this format?
Instant Articles work for any type of article, from daily spot-news coverage to in-depth, longform features.
- Do Instant Articles change how publishers or people share on Facebook?
No. Nothing about link-sharing changes. Publishers and readers link to articles just as they always have; there is no need to link or post an Instant Article differently. Each Instant Article is associated with a link, so when a friend or page shares a link in News Feed, readers see the Instant Article version if it is available.
- Are Instant Articles available to everyone on Facebook?
For the moment, Instant Articles are only available to people who use Facebook's iPhone app.
- What happens if a reader is not on a device that supports Instant Articles?
People on a desktop computer or other device that doesn't support Instant Articles will continue to link to the mobile web version of the article.
- How will Instant Articles influence referral traffic?
Instant Articles display within the Facebook app, so readers no longer redirect to the publisher's website. Facebook worked with publishers and comScore to enable Instant Articles views in Facebook's app to count as traffic to the original publisher, just as they do on the mobile web.
- Can publishers sell their own advertising on Instant Articles?
Yes. Publishers can sell in their articles and keep the revenue, or they can choose to use Facebook's Audience Network to monetize unsold inventory.
- How do publishers enroll to use Instant Articles?
Facebook is currently testing Instant Articles with a small set of publishers. The Instant Articles program will expand to more publishers in the future. If would like to participate, please tell us about yourself and we'll keep you updated.
- What is the Accelerated Mobile Pages project?
The Accelerated Mobile Pages ("AMP") Project is an open source initiative that came out of discussions between publishers and technology companies about the need to improve the entire mobile content ecosystem for everyone — publishers, consumer platforms, creators, and users.
Today, the expectation is that content should load super fast and be easy to explore. The reality is that content can take several seconds to load, or, because the user abandons the slow page, never fully loads at all. Accelerated Mobile Pages are web pages designed to load instantaneously — they are a step towards a better mobile web for all.
- What are the benefits of Accelerated Mobile Pages?
Speed matters and instant is the ideal. Research shows that the bounce rate can be as high as 58% for web pages that take nearly ten seconds to load. Using the AMP format will make it far more compelling for people to consume and engage with more content. But this isn't just about speed and performance. We also want to promote enhanced distribution so that publishers can take advantage of the open web's potential for their content to appear everywhere quickly — across all platforms and apps — which can lead to more revenue via ads and subscriptions.
- How do Accelerated Mobile Pages work?
Accelerated Mobile Pages are just like any other HTML page, but with a limited set of allowed technical functionality that is defined and governed by the open source AMP spec. Just like all web pages, Accelerated Mobile Pages will load in any modern browser or app webview. AMP files take advantage of various technical and architectural approaches that prioritize speed to provide a faster experience for users. The goal is not to homogenize how content looks and feels, but instead to build a more common technical core between pages that speeds up load times.
In addition, AMP files can be cached in the cloud in order to reduce the time content takes to get a user's mobile device. Under this type of framework, publishers continue to control their content, but platforms can easily cache or mirror the content for optimal delivery speed users. Google has stated that it will provide a cache that can be used by anyone at no cost, though the cache (Google's or otherwise) is not required. Other companies may build their own cache as well.
In summary, the goal is that that the combination of limited technical functionality with a distribution system built around caching will lead to better performing pages, and increased audience development for publishers.
- Why does the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project take an open source approach?
The initial companies involved in this early preview of the project want to make the mobile web work better for all — not just for one platform, one set of technologies, or one set of publishers. Making the project open source enables people to share and contribute their ideas and code for making the mobile web fast. This preview is just the beginning of that journey and we look forward to other publishers and technology companies joining along the way.
- When will Accelerated Mobile Pages launch and what is the rollout plan?
On October 7th, 2015, the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project announced the release of the initial technical specification which will appear on GitHub, a broadly used repository for open-source content. We are also providing an early developer demo of what a faster mobile web can look and feel like with Accelerated Mobile Pages. More features and functionality will be added over the coming weeks, including functional support for subscription models as well as vendor support for advertising functionality. As more of this functionality becomes commonly available, we hope to see more and more major consumer platforms integrating AMP pages into their apps and services.
- Who will be able to use Accelerated Mobile Pages?
The project is open to all players in the ecosystem – publishers, consumer platforms, and creators. In this early stage of the project, a group of publishers and platforms have come together to demonstrate how Accelerated Mobile Pages can transform the mobile web experience. They include platforms like Twitter and Google, tech players like ChartBeat and WordPress.com and publishers like Vox, The New York Times, The Guardian and Globo.
- What type of content will work best using Accelerated Mobile Pages?
The goal is for all published content, from news stories to videos and from blogs to photographs and GIFs, to work using Accelerated Mobile Pages.
- As a publisher, will making my content work for Accelerated Mobile Pages entail more work?
In short, not much. Since "AMP HTML" is built entirely out of existing web technologies, the development process mirrors the one publishers are already using today. Publishers can familiarize themselves with the AMP HTML specification on GitHub. For those used to the current process, we don't expect a significant learning curve.
- How can a publisher get content into AMP HTML?
Publishers and Content Management System (CMS) providers can develop an integration with their CMS to generate AMP content. We hope that all content management systems will add support for AMP HTML pages. For example, WordPress.com has announced that it will integrate the AMP framework. In addition to WordPress.com, we hope other commercial CMS providers will support the project in the weeks and months to come.
- How can a consumer platform get involved in Accelerated Mobile Pages?
The project is open to all players, and existing members of the project are very enthusiastic to engage with consumer platforms on the initiative. Google will also open its cache for use for free by anyone, including to consumer platforms that would like to display AMP content in their environment.
- How can an advertising or technology vendor get involved in Accelerated Mobile Pages?
Though we cannot guarantee that all vendor technology will function perfectly inside AMP files, over time we expect to release new functionality in the specification that will make it easier for your technology to integrate with the format.
- How will advertising work on Accelerated Mobile Pages?
A goal of the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project is to ensure effective ad monetization on the mobile web while embracing a user-centric approach. With that context, the objective is to provide support for a comprehensive range of ad formats, ad networks and technologies in Accelerated Mobile Pages. As part of that, those involved with the project are also engaged in crafting Sustainable Ad Practices to insure that ads in AMP files are fast, safe, compelling and effective for users.
- Will publishers be able to sell their own ad inventory?
Yes, as with their existing websites, publishers control their ad inventory and how they sell it.
- How will subscriptions and paywalls work with Accelerated Mobile Pages?
It is a core objective of the Accelerated Mobile Pages project to support subscriptions and paywalls. Publishers and technologists will work together to build the best solutions for readers and publishers.
- How are analytics being handled in this AMP format?
Ensuring publishers are able to get robust analytics insight is a core design goal for the project. While the analytics support in the demo release is very limited, the spec is expected to have support for collection of analytics information, and integrating with 3rd party systems without compromising the AMP file speed or size. Chartbeat and Parse.ly, two publisher analytics providers, are participants in the project.
- Do publishers receive credit for the traffic from a measurement perspective?
Yes, an AMP file is the same as the rest of your site – this space is the publisher's canvas.

While competitive returns are key for attracting assets, some funds mostly rely on their former glory. They have become somewhat like a trusted brand, leading some investors to do not perform their due diligence. And even if they're down, won't an iconic fund return to its winning ways?
Not necessarily. There are many examples where portfolio managers have lost their touch. Sometimes it's because prior success came on just a few good investments or a surge in a particular market. Or, even more ominously, it could have been the result of some risky bets that just happened to pay off — at one time.
Here's a look at a few big-time mutual funds that investors shouldn't just trust on name alone:
Fidelity Magellan
Back in the 1980s, legendary investor Peter Lynch posted a standout performance at the helm of the Fidelity Magellan (MUTF:FMAGX) fund. Now that success is a distant memory. Over the past decade, the average annual return was a meager 1.58%. Of course, with $15.9 billion in assets, it is not easy to find investment opportunities that can significantly move the needle.
However, in September, Fidelity brought on board a new manager, Jeff Feingold. Before this, he managed the Fidelity Trend (MUTF:FTRNX) fund and posted a strong track record. And at least early on, Feingold is showing promise, with FMAGX up 11.07% year-to-date.
Janus Overseas A
Foreign investing is never easy. A portfolio manager must not only figure out where to find growth opportunities across hundreds of countries, but also deal with political situations and currency swings.
But Janus Overseas A (MUTF:JDIAX), which has more than $9 billion in assets, has truly struggled. JDIAX posted a 32.88% loss in 2011, and its average return for the past five years is barely positive, at 0.28%.
The portfolio manager, Brent Lynn, likes to focus on emerging markets and smaller companies. Some years, that strategy can result in big returns. But in others, it means big losses. Either way, it's a wild ride mutual fund investors could do without.
American Funds Growth Fund
Investors have been losing patience with the American Funds Growth Fund (MUTF:RGAAX). The fund lost 5.58% last year, and it suffered outflows of almost $26 billion.
Yet RGAAX still has a whopping $127 billion under management.
A key issue has been the fund's focus on foreign markets. Also, because of its enormous size, the Growth Fund is heavily concentrated with large-cap stocks, which can be a bit of a drag, too.
Vanguard Windsor Investor
For 31 years, John Neff posted an average return of 13.7% at the Vanguard Windsor Investor (MUTF:VWNDX) fund. However, it has not had the same kind of magic since he left in the mid-90s. The fund has generated an average loss of about 2% int he past five years and fell 4% in 2011.
Current VWNDX manager Jim Mordy (who oversees 70% of the portfolio) is trying to stay true to Neff's contrarian style. But making money as a contrarian is no easy feat, considering that in today's markets, value stocks can stay depressed for prolonged periods of time.
Eaton Vance Large-Cap Value
It's tough to get excited about the Eaton Vance Large-Cap Value (MUTF:EILVX) fund, which has almost $12 billion in assets. During the past five years, EILVX is averaging a loss of 1.6%, and it shed more than 4% last year.
As the name implies, the fund sticks to large-cap stocks, with top holdings including Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). But EILVX has had missteps with its industry allocation — last year, it was bullish on financials, and we all know how that sector played out.

This week I am another day older thanks to Kamitic/Kemetic spirituality. Sometimes I wondered how I was going to make it, but it was truly this Kamitic/Kemetic Way of Life that saved me. I remember when I was 15 looking at the depressing news and hearing the most discouraging words of power from the media during the crack cocaine 1980s, "Young black males won't make it to 18", then it went to "21", "25". Well, I am 30 something! I made it and now I am trying to help others to get out of that destructive cycle.
I never understood what this cycle was until I went through my experience and my ancestors taught me about the maa aankh, a Kamitic/Kemetic cosmogram inspired by the Kongo Cross. You see according to the maa aankh. The destructive cycle that a lot of young people (especially young men) fall into is called Ra, which is associated with the point Tu-Kula in Ki-Kongo. Both of these points are red and they correspond to the midday sun. Red is the color of caution, danger, vitality and emergency and on the maa aankh it is associated with the envious brother of Osar (Asar, Ausar, Osiris) named Set. Set for those who don't know is the author of confusion, war, chaos, destruction, you name it, if it is evil he has his hands on it. His original name is Set and later he became known as Set-an and finally Satan. His color by the way is also red.
Ra leads to Ra Atum, which is the point of completion, the end, death and transformation. Ra Atum is associated with the Luvemba point which is the color white. White is the color of our elders' gray hair, it is the color of the ancestors, and the cool color of the Lord Osar.
In the natural sense it is okay if you have mastered what is necessary in a particular cycle for you to change, be transformed or die, because it only means that you will be reborn from your experience (hence, the return of old souls being reborn as babies). But, when you die at an early age and haven't learned anything or what you were supposed to learn. We die prematurely both spiritually and physically. Looking back at how I made it and survived the 1980s, I see that I had to learn how to temper the fire (anger, attitude, rashness, rebelliousness, etc.) and have a cool head. I had to learn how to balance the heat with coolness. I had to listen to my elders who were much wiser and had more experience than I, so that I could avoid dying prematurely. It was by doing that, I was able to escape those turbulent times, pass the initiation (test) created by life and now metaphorically speaking wear the double pschent crown, like Hru (Hrw, Heru, Horus).

Schumacher gets new Mercedes role
- Drivers:
- Michael Schumacher
- Teams:
- Mercedes
Michael Schumacher will work with Mercedes to develop future technologies for its road car division.
Having retired from Formula One for a second time at the end of last season following three years with Mercedes, Schumacher has been retained by the manufacturer in a 'long-term partnership'. Schumacher will focus particularly on Mercedes' 'Intelligent Drive' safety systems, while also representing the company as an ambassador.
"The future interests me much more than the present and past," Schumacher said. "During my Formula 1 time I always believed that you must not allow yourself to rest on your laurels, but that you must continuously try to improve. In so doing I was very often able to rely on the help of all the technologies available to me in the car and use them to my advantage. That is why I am a declared supporter of driving assistance systems both in the racing car and in the road-going car.
"I wanted to have a clearly defined remit within the new partnership and I find it very exciting to be able to contribute towards further developments and the optimisation of safety together with the inventor of the car."
Dr. Joachim Schmidt, executive vice president of Mercedes-Benz cars, sales and marketing, said it was obvious the company needed to keep Schumacher on board.
"We are proud that Michael Schumacher, the most successful and best-known racing driver in the world, is again joining us as our partner," he said. "Right from the time when he was a Mercedes-Benz junior and of course in the last three years as a driver in our Formula 1 team, Michael Schumacher has always been committed to our company's projects. This is why it is only logical for both sides to pool their expertise and know-how and to use them, for instance, for enhancing driver assistance systems and thus improve safety on the roads within a partnership."

Marine veteran from Tacoma lobbies Congress to bring home military canines
Want to get something done in Congress? Bring a dog.
It couldn't hurt. As she looked into a hearing room packed with reporters, supporters and four canines on Wednesday, Rep. Dina Titus was reminded of a similar lesson she learned in her statehouse days. (Basically, if you want to have your bill passed, just show up with a dog, the Nevada Democrat remembered.)
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., saw dog power in even more profound ways.
"Dogs are magical creatures, because they can make a rusty, cranky old curmudgeon like Don Young seem almost lovable," she said. "So, hats off to the dogs."
Young, the Alaska Republican who pointed out that he was "the only dog musher in the whole Congress," and others were on hand to help efforts by the American Humane Association to change rules under which military dogs move to civilian life.
Robin Ganzert, president and chief executive of the American Humane Association, said that former military dogs are not guaranteed to be retired in America and might not be reunited with their former handlers. Her group wants the Department of Defense to mandate that all military working dogs be retired on U.S. soil so that they are given military transport back from their war zones. And it wants to ensure that the dogs' former handlers are provided first opportunity to adopt them.
The group also wants dogs working for contractors to be given the same benefits as those that are formally part of the military.
Three former handlers of military dogs Ryky, Cila and Thor spoke in halting, emotional ways about the bonds they had with their animals — and how they jumped through major hoops to be reunited with them after their service ended.
"I told them if he's 10 years old and has one leg, I'll take him. They thought I was joking, but I was serious," Marine veteran Deano Miller of Tacoma told NPR.
Miller in May was reunited with Thor, his military working dog from a 2010 deployment to Afghanistan's Helmand Province. Miller had been trying to adopt Thor ever since then, but the canine had missions with four more handlers in Afghanistan before the military was ready to release him.
"Everything's a lot better now at home, and it wouldn't be possible if I didn't have him," Miller said.
The dogs that took over a hearing room of the House Budget Committee had served in Iraq and Afghanistan, sniffing for explosives, helping rescue fallen soldiers, enduring multiple tours. They carry some of the same post-traumatic issues as returning soldiers.
"We had some challenging times in Iraq, but we both made it out safely," Army veteran Jason Bos said of his companion, Cila, who served with him on nearly 100 missions. "Now Cila is a couch potato. She's retired. She can eat what she wants. She can get fat … just be like a regular retired person."
While the American Humane Association is rounding up support in Congress, Ganzert said the Department of Defense could handle the changes administratively, without the need for legislation.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, March 18, 2013
Pool Pathogens and Bacteria ~ There's a Fungus Among Us!
Bacteria and viruses can easily find a home in swimming pool water. I'm not speaking about algae, which is not a pathogen (disease causing organism), but smaller, invisible creatures that can live in your pool or spa.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) records thousands of cases of disease outbreak in pools and spas every year. They also monitor public pool health inspection reports. In a recent study, as many as 60% of public pools had violations.
Parasites, bacteria and viruses in swimming pools can lead to fever, vomiting and diarrhea in mild cases. More acute symptoms can lead to hospitalization and in rare cases can cause death.
Bacteria in My Pool?
Water is a breeding ground for bacteria and can support viruses and parasites long enough for them to enter your body through absorption, inhalation, and/or ingestion.
In the presence of chlorine, fungi is the most vulnerable, followed by bacteria. Viruses can take 10 times longer to be neutralized by chlorine, and protozoa is the most resistant, taking up to 100x longer than a fungus to be zapped by your pool chlorine.
Not surprisingly, the pathogens that take the longest time to kill also produce the most dangerous water borne illnesses.
How can Pool Water Become Contaminated?
Fecal contamination is a leading cause of pathogens in pool water. Swimmers who don't wash their backsides before swimming or after using the bathroom (#2), are unknowingly rinsing off in the pool. It is estimated that the average waterpark facility has several pounds of fecal matter daily to deal with from their visitors. Yuck!
Accidental Fecal Release (AFR - a real term) is another method of entry. People with diarrhea should not use the pool for two weeks, to avoid an accidental release.
Aside from fecal matter, swimming pools can become contaminated by vomit, sweat, urine or saliva from an infected human or animal.
Parasitic infections can enter a swimming pool from food, particularly raw and uncooked proteins, such as eggs or fish, or can be brought into a pool from insects and wildlife that may fall into the pool.
Fill water can sometimes be the culprit, especially water that may have to travel far from the water treatment plant, or water from a contaminated well.
How can Swimmers Become Infected?
It depends on the pathogen. The most usual way is to swallow contaminated water, even small amounts that splash into your mouth and mix with your saliva. Some microbes can enter through the skin or through cuts on the skin. Eye, nose, ear and throat are the usual entry points.
How can Pool Water Contamination be Prevented?
In most cases of micro organism outbreaks in swimming pools, nearly all in fact - the level of disinfectant is not high enough to combat the level of organisms. Filtering and circulation are also important to remove contaminants and distribute sanitizer. So, it's real simple really...
- Keep your chlorine level constant, at 1.0 ppm or higher.
- Shock your pool regularly to remove the unseen danger.
- Filter all of your pool water 1-2 times daily.
- Shower before you use the pool.
- No Dogs, No Babies. No Diarrhea. ;-)
Can Pool or Spa Water be Tested for Bacteria?
Well, I'm glad you asked! In fact, we have a bacteria test strip that you can use to test your pool or spa water for the presence of Coliform, E.Coli, Shigella, Pseudomonas and many other types of bacteria than can lead to RWI (Recreational Water Illness). Easy to use; returns results in just minutes.
Types of Bacteria found in Pools and Spas
Shigella - bacteria that can infect the digestive tract and cause a wide range of symptoms, from diarrhea, cramps, vomiting, to more serious illnesses. Infections, called shigellosis, sometimes go away on their own; in others, antibiotics can shorten the course of the illness. Other symptoms of shigellosis include: high fever, loss of appetite, and painful bowel movements. In very severe cases of shigellosis, a person may have convulsions (seizures). Shigella is transmitted directly from uncleaner swimmers and may infect after ingestion of contaminated food or water. This pool pathogen may be acquired by swimming in contaminated surface waters or pools and spas.
Moral: Keep your pool and spa water balanced and sanitized, shock regularly, and washing well before using the pool can prevent RWI (Recreational Water Illness). To prevent contamination from an accidental release (AFR), persons with Diarrhea should not use the pool for a period of two weeks.

Der Tagesspiegel 25.04.2009
The American writer Jonathan Franzen explains in an interview what he likes about the German language and what books he is currently reading. He was particularly impressed by Günter Grass's autobiography "Peeling the Onion" which, he says, "was treated most unfairly in Germany". It is precisely Grass's obfuscation that he finds "lovable, honest and brave. We are just not able to cope with such lack of clarity. In 'The Discomfort Zone' I went in the opposite direction and tried to pin down every fact. But this is not how memory works. I like the ambivalent atmosphere: was that dreamed or was it real?"
Neue Zürcher Zeitung 25.04.2009
The Paris-based Turkish author Nedim Gürsel, who has been indicted for "blasphemy" by a Turkish court, has written an open letter to Prime Minister Erdogan, which the NZZ has printed: "The thing .... that shocks me most is the report by the Office for Religious Matters (Diyanet), which accuses me of blasphemy. These authorities answer to you and they are not qualified to judge a work of literature. I therefore implore you to take into consideration the fact that I have written a novel and not a theological textbook."
From the blogs 27.04.2009
In Carta, Robin Meyer-Lucht lays out ten theses on the copyright debate. Thesis number 2: "The Internet has created the infrastructure for the new knowledge economy, which the classical elite in this country wants nothing to do with. Instead of developing a new order, they are insisting on their classical business models. Their demands concerning copyright are essentially an attempt to harness the law to transfer the old order onto a new medium. Due to the new technology and the new competition, this enterprise is doomed to fail."
Neue Zürcher Zeitung 28.04.2009
Markus Bauer looks at anti-Roma sentiment in Eastern Europe, and in particular in Hungary where the situation is critical: "The ombudsman for minority rights, Ernö Kallai, is talking about a 'cold war'. The already struggling government wants to speed up a new law against incitement of racial hatred, which the opposition is only grudgingly backing. Hungarians cling over zealously to their beloved freedom of speech and the simplistic anti-Roma discourse has spread like wildfire. The once liberal newspaper Magyar Hirlap has transformed into a far-right pamphlet under the new ownership, a home to columnists who write things like: "They (the Roma) are not human beings, they are animals.'"
Frankfurter Rundschau 29.04.2009
In an interview with Esther Schapira, cabaret artist Johnny Klinke recalls his time sweating away on the production line at Opel in the 70s. "When Opel disappears â no matter what you think about their cars â I think it will hit Rüsselheim like a social atom bomb.... I remember the 70s as a wonderful and lively time. We were undercover at Opel, learning lessons for life. I would not have missed the experience for anything, it probably saved me from teacher training college. When you are spot-welding for eight hours at a stretch at 40 degrees, a Turk to your right, to your left an Italian, a Greek, you really learn somehthing languages. You also learn how to defend yourself. It was straight after school where I'd learned Latin, Greek, Hebrew. A few weeks later I was on the assembly line."
Süddeutsche Zeitung 29.04.2009
Alex Rühle introduces the French group "Les Untergunther" which secretly repairs broken objects of cultural value â for example the clock of the Pantheon in Paris, as its members later informed the administrative director Bernard Jeannot. "To help Bernard Jeannot out of his state of shock, the group of young people offered to take the custodian of the building on a tour and show him their handiwork. The already rather discombobulated director then had to watch as the four visitors used skeleton keys to open a series of doors and march matter-of-factly through labyrinthine passages, which he hadn't known existed." Read more about this and other escapades in Lazar Kunstmann's "highly entertaining" book, "La Culture en clandestin - L'UX" (Editions Hazan).
Neue Zürcher Zeitung 29.04.2009
The newspaper printed a translation of Pakistani author Muhammed Hanif's important article from the Washington Post about how his country is caving to the Taliban. Read the original here.
From the blogs 30.04.2009
The Iranian philosopher Abdolkarim Soroush has written a new blog update, this time on the role that religion played for the Persian poet Rumi (1207-1273, here some of his poems in English). "The main point as far as Rumi was concerned - and he expressed it in numerous ways - was that this world is the world of forms. Not just the material world, but also the world of our concepts, cognition and perception is the world of forms, whereas God is formless. And our world of forms originates from that formlessness."
Frankfurter Rundschau 30.04.2009
Daniel Kothenschulte sums up the GoEast film festival in Wiesbaden, where he watched a number of new films from the thriving world of Romanian cinema. He explains their dramatic principle thus: "In the first half, the filmmakers fill the screen with such detailed and vivid life situations that it doesn't even occur to anyone to ask where it's all heading. Then, when the film is well underway, they let the cat out of the bag and present the moral conflicts, which they follow with hilarious thoroughness."
Neue Zürcher Zeitung 30.04.2009
Samuel Herzog was obviously impressed by the Thyssen-Bornemisza exhibition: "The Kaleidoscopic Eye" in Tokyo's Mori Art Museum. But he couldn't stomach the lofty tones evoking the healing power of art. "No sooner is the world looking a little green about the gills than art feels itself called upon â like some supreme nurse, ready to dispense health advice round the clock, the dream and nightmare of every hypochondriac. Does art suffer from helper syndrome? When the planet is healthy, it flits about like some desperate Samurai who has lost his lord and thus his very grounds for existence."
Nota Bene
On February 27th 2008, the German Constitutional Court controversially outlawed all secret online police searches of personal computers as a violation of the constitution, thereby creating a new Basic Law protecting the confidentiality and integrity of information technology systems. They have now seen fit to translate the law into English and post it online.

Cork City Council
Cork Docklands are set in a beautiful location to the east of the City Centre and cover an area of 166 hectares of land on both banks of the River Lee, with 4 kilometres of waterfront. Cork City Council recognised the potential to redevelop this area in the late 1990s which resulted in the commissioning and publication of the Cork Docklands Development Strategy in 2001. This set out a vision for the regeneration of the area into a new high density urban quarter of Cork, characterised by high quality design; residential, employment and leisure opportunities; and a superb quality of life. The regeneration of Docklands is a priority for Cork City Council and it is actively working to achieve this goal over the medium-term in co-operation with the various stakeholders in Docklands.
The vision for Cork Docklands focuses on the place itself and its contribution to the wider city region. The redevelopment process aspires to create a new identity for the docklands providing:
Cork Docklands will also contribute to the growth and development of Metropolitan Cork as a location of 23,000 residents and 27,000 jobs, by helping to arrest population decline in the inner urban area; providing new opportunities for business activity, acting as a key attractor of foreign direct investment, R&D and higher order services and as a focus for culture and tourism.

Zoey Monroe had the house to herself with her step mom, Cherie Deville. It wasn't too long until they were kissing and undressing each other. Cherie was licking Zoey's pussy when Zoey's boyfriend called her. Zoey put the call to voice mail, so he could listen, and he decided to come right over and visit them. When he came in, he caught Zoey getting her pussy munched on by her step mom, Cherie. Cherie handled him and persuaded him to join them. They sucked and fucked his cock together. They both got their pussies drilled and got that cream all over their pretty faces.

PARIS (Reuters) - She's a 16-year-old British girl like any other - hates Mondays, likes cakes, tea and shopping, finds French lessons dull but Paris beautiful.
But the story of Olive Higgins, told through the diary she wrote as she set off to school in Paris in January 1914, is no ordinary one.
Blog readers and over 1,400 Twitter followers have been reading her diary online since New Year's Day, released in daily extracts by London-based British journalist and writer Rob McGibbon, who was given Olive's diary in 2001 by an antiques dealer.
After just six weeks of entries, however, Olive's voice suddenly falls silent on Wednesday. The teenager became too unwell to write, and eventually died on February 25, 1914.
The realisation that Olive was buried in a cemetery just a few hundred yards from where McGibbon was born, the same cemetery he used to look out over from his grandfather's house, triggered his interest. From that moment, he was hooked.
"It really was a stunning moment of surreal connection that absolutely convinced me that this was a providential gift, that this was a heaven-sent gift if you like," said McGibbon. "It was such a coincidence, such a weird strong connection."
Consumed by Olive's tale, McGibbon spent time and savings trying to produce a work on the diary, researching in Paris for months at a time.
"From the moment I got the diary it became a complete obsession. Within a few weeks I'd found the grave, I'd found her homes, I abandoned all my work to just focus on that."
After a series of rejections from publishers, McGibbon shelved the project until it dawned on him that 2014 would mark the 100th anniversary of Olive's death.
He decided to let Olive's voice tell her own story to the world, determining that social media would be an apt forum for the teenager's words, and renouncing his hopes for a book.
"I have definitely felt the sadness of hearing Olive's voice again and ... there's been a sadness for me to revisit all the work that came to nothing. But equally, it feels like there is a resolution and that feels good," said McGibbon.
Besides the geographical connections with Olive, McGibbon said he had a great deal in common with the young school girl, including diaries he himself wrote while at boarding school.
Olive's entries give an honest account of her daily, often humdrum, life in the convent school L'Institut de Notre-Dame-des-Champs, with feelings of homesickness and upset sprinkled with an adolescent's unfiltered impressions of Paris in the waning days of the Belle Epoque.
Of the elegant department store Galeries Lafayette, Olive remarks that it is "very nice, better if a millionaire."
After a visit to the Louvre where she sees the Mona Lisa, Olive describes her "very ordinary smile + unintelligent expression" on her "vacant looking head."
Olive calls Pere Lachaise cemetery, final resting place of the greats of France, "creepy." Her piano teacher is "frumpy."
Olive eventually dies in the convent in Paris on Ash Wednesday, which for McGibbon made the story one about faith, including his own faith to stick with the story.
He added that if a lesson can be drawn from Olive's tale, it is a reminder of the fragility of life. The cause of her death has not yet been revealed.
"We all are aware that life is fragile but when you read someone's diary knowing it is going to be their last days, I don't know if anything can be more poignant," he said.
Olive's silence following her last diary entry will be filled with the words of McGibbon, who said his revelation of the details of her final days will "break your heart."
Olive's diary can be found on the blog at www.olivesdiary1914.com/

Photo Coverage: MANILOW ON BROADWAY's Opening Night Curtain Call and Encore!
After a brief delay due to illness, Manilow on Broadway, Barry Manilow's new concert show at the St. James Theatre, opened last night, January 29. BroadwayWorld was there for the special event and you can check out full photo coverage from the curtain call and after party below!
With worldwide sales of more than 80 million records, his success is a benchmark in popular music. Rolling Stone crowned him "a giant among entertainers... the showman of our generation," and Frank Sinatra summed up Manilow best when Ol' Blue Eyes told the British press, "He's next." He currently has 50 Top 40 hits. And now, Manilow is returning to the place where it all began, his hometown, New York City, with a new concert series on Broadway - marking his return to The Great White Way for the first time in more than two decades with Manilow on Broadway.
Manilow's roots remain in his native Brooklyn, where music was an integral part of his life. By the age of seven, he was taking accordion lessons and playing on a neighbor's piano. Choosing a career in music while still in his teens, he attended New York College of Music and the Juilliard School of Music while working in the mailroom at CBS. He subsequently became musical director for a CBS show named "Callback" (the predecessor to "American Idol") which led to a lucrative sideline on New York's advertising jingle circuit.
Tickets, ranging in price from $50 to $350, are now on sale. For tickets and more information, visit www.ManilowOnBroadway.com.

i messaged a pro the other night to ask what tube compliment he uses in his bassman. thought i'd hit upa pro to get more on track with this bassman i just got. the answer was pretty surprising- he stayed with the 12ax7 in all 3 pre amp slots! but he told me he used a Kinder anti-feedback box and a compression device, and the bassman worked great for him.
i just looked at the Kinder site and the price on that box is up there. if by some miracle i could afford one, i am wondering if anyone here has used one and how they liked it? effect on tone is the top[ question i have.
thanks guys and gals!

And cut out all stems infested by cane borers
Roses need to be pruned yearly to keep the plants strong and healthy. Now is the time to prune summer-flowering roses. Wait to prune spring-flowering roses until after they have flowered.
Hybrid T and floribunda roses in the ground five years or less should be pruned to within 12 inches of the graft union.
Cultivate Your Asparagus Bed
Now is the time to hoe out the weeds and cultivate the soil over the dormant roots of asparagus in your bed. Both chickweed and henbit have had excellent growing conditions this winter and are probably covering the soil. It is simpler to remove them now than after the asparagus spears appear. Avoid deep cultivation of the soil so as not to damage the asparagus crowns.
As Hybrid Ts and floribunda roses grow older, do not prune so severely. The stems of older roses are generally pruned to within 18 to 24 inches of the graft union. However, all side branches, or suckers, less than a pencil-width in diameter should be removed, and all remaining branches pruned, leaving at least two buds on each branch.
Mounding roses and old-fashioned roses are grown on their own roots and thus can be pruned to the ground without loss of variety. Mounding roses are becoming very popular because they are generally disease- and insect-free and flower all summer long. I even prune mine with the lawn mower.
When you're pruning roses, be on the lookout for cane borers. I recently visited a garden where almost every rosebush was infested with cane borers, yet the owner was not aware of the problem, even though she complained that many of her rose bushes were dying out.
Cane borers are especially damaging to grafted roses such as hybrid Ts and floribunda. Once the cane borers penetrate to the graft union — which is that knob that separates the stems from the roots — the top of the plant dies. As the root system is of a different species, sprouting occurs from the roots. Typically, flowers from the root sprouts are not as desirable.
Cane borers are also a problem on Knock-Out roses, but because these roses are propagated from cuttings, the sprouts that emerge from the roots are the same. However, cane borers kill branches in Knock-Out roses.
Evidence of cane borers in roses can be detected by examining the cut ends of each stem. Look for a small perfectly round hole the size of the lead of a pencil. When you see such hole, keep pruning that stem until you see nothing but solid stem wood. The prunings of infected stems should either be burnt or placed in the garbage. Do not put them in the compost pile.
To prevent future cane borers from infecting your roses, place a drop of nail-polish or carpenters glue on the cut end of each stem that is pencil size or larger in diameter. Cane borers generally do not infest stems smaller than a pencil in diameter because those stems have not yet developed a pith. Even a thumbtack stuck into the cut end of the stem will prevent cane borers.
Ask Dr. Gouin your questions at [email protected]. All questions will appear in Bay Weekly. Please include your name and address.

Three children were shocked at Florida condominium community pool last week as a result of "shoddy" electrical work. The children spent several nights in the hospital after being shocked at the Palm West Condo pool in Hialeah.
According to a report Local10.com, a green ground wire on the pool pump was disconnected. The building inspectors' report said that when the pump malfunctioned, the electricity wasn't directed into the ground. Instead, it energized the water the pump was pushing back into the pool.
Police pictures back up the inspector's report, Local10.com said, which stated several pieces of pool and lighting equipment were incorrectly wired, suffered from severe corrosion or damage, or were improperly spliced. "What's more, the shoddy work should have been caught by the city's electrical inspector, except the city didn't know the work had been done. That's because the property owner never pulled a permit," the news report read.
For police photos, see "Shoddy electrical work lead to 3 kids' injuries at a pool in Hialeah, police say."

I have paired off the zero divisors in these two rings, and there are exactly 4 pairs of distinct zero divisors in both rings:
In $\Bbb Z_3[x]/\langle x^2 - 1\rangle$ the zero divisor pairs are $$x+1, x+2 \qquad x+1, 2x+1, \qquad 2x+1, 2x+2 \qquad x+2, 2x+2$$
Similarly, in $\Bbb Z_3 \times \Bbb Z_3$ the zero divisor pairs are $$(0, 1), (1, 0) \qquad (0,1), (2,0) \qquad (0, 2), (1, 0) \qquad (0, 2), (2, 0) $$ The fact that the zero divisors match up indicates to me that these rings should indeed be isomorphic, as zero divisors are one of the structures which have failed checks in the past on rings such as $\Bbb Z_2 [x] / \langle x^2 \rangle \ncong \Bbb Z_2 \times \Bbb Z_2$.
My Question
Is the only homomorphism (and thus isomorphism) between these two rings an enumerative one, where I explicitly map each of the nine elements of $\Bbb Z_3[x]/ \langle x^2 - 1\rangle$ to an element in $\Bbb Z_3 \times \Bbb Z_3$? I can do that if necessary, but it seems an inelegant and brute force method. However, since these rings are so small, it may be the best way to go about it. Thanks!

Track returns many qualifiers
News editor
Coach Grant Thierolf expects field events to lead the charge for a competitive Marion track and field team.
"We have a number of state qualifiers returning and we look forward to coaching this group again," he said. "We believe that we have some very talented newcomers entering our program and believe they will greatly enhance our teams."
Field events have been a strong suit in recent years, and the coaches expect that to continue this year.
"Our boy throwers have demonstrated that they are state quality throwers," he said.
Seniors Nick Meyer and Morgan Wheeler run neck-and-neck in shot put and discus, with season bests from 2013 being 6 inches apart in shot put and 1 foot apart in discus — 45'9" in shot put and 139'9" in discus for Wheeler and 45'3 and 138'9" for Meyer.
Junior Kyle Palic will compete in all three throws. He placed eighth at state in discus and javelin last year. His bests were 148'6" and 166'9" in discus and javelin, respectively.
John Nordquist in javelin and shot put, Clint Kroupa in shot put and discus, and Adam Janzen in javelin round out the top throwers.
He said Kaelyn Thierolf is likely to be the leading thrower in her first full year in the events. Her season bests last year were 98'9" in javelin and 89'9" in discus. Kristen Herzet and Molly Hess also will throw.
James Jones will be expected to lead the jumpers. After placing third in long jump and fifth in triple jump at state in 2013, he is one of the top horizontal jumpers in the state.
Thierolf also expects Seth Snelling and Brad Stone to place in the jumps at meets and earn points for the Warriors. In addition, Snelling was part of the fifth-place 4x400 team.
Kelli Hess, Kirsten Hansen, and Marissa Jacobsen will be counted on to lead the girls' jumpers. Hess and Hansen were two legs of Marion's state third-place 4x400 relay last year.
"We have a strong history of pole vaulters and Alicia Maloney and Seth Snelling return after placing at state last year," Thierolf said.
Maloney has qualified for state the past three years, improving her placing every time. Last year she finished third at state. Snelling placed eighth.
"Tyler Neufeld and Kirsten Hansen both vaulted well last year and will score points again this year," Thierolf said.
He said coaches are interested to see the showings of Nicholas Stuchlik and Erika Hess in the high jump.
The sprints are Marion's strong point on the track. Jones qualified for state in the 200 meters and was part of the fifth-place 4x400 relay at state. Thierolf added that Neufeld, Snelling, Braden Fahey, and Quinton Hett will give the team solid opportunities in the middle sprints and provide competitive legs in relays.
"Our girl sprinters are some of the best in the state," Thierolf said.
Marshelle Mermis qualified for state in the 200 and 400 meters and ran in the third-place 4x400 relay at state. Hansen, Jacobsen, Kelli Hess, Erika Hess, and Emily Schneider will all compete in the sprints and contribute in the relays, as well.
Katey Ehrlich leads the hurdlers after qualifying for state in the 300-meter hurdles last year. Brad Stone will run hurdles for the boys.
Thierolf said Timothy Knolla and McKenzee Remmers will lead the distance runners, who should get progressively better through the season.
"We cannot wait for the season to begin — best time of the year," Thierolf said.
Marion begins its track and field schedule at the Remington quint April 8.

The Dark Knight star, 33, is six months pregnant, according to Life & Style magazine.
Talk of a second baby for the star and her actor husband Peter Sarsgaard has been rampant for weeks ever since Gyllenhaal appeared on the red carpet for the premiere of her film Hysteria at the Rome Film Festival in Italy at the end of October (11) sporting what appeared to be a baby bump.
Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard have yet to confirm the happy news. The stars, who wed in 2009, are parents to five-year-old daughter Ramona.
