Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum faces misdemeanor charges after allegedly getting caught with a small amount of pot and a pipe.
He was initially pulled over in I-5 in Washington state for speeding, but the officer smelled something that lead to a different kind of citation. The Columnbian, a newspaper in Clark County, Washington, broke the story Thursday.
This all happened fairly early in the morning last Friday, when a state trooper pulled over a 2006 Mercedes at 8:23 a.m. for doing 74 mph in 60 mph zone.
After smelling pot, he asked the driver to hand it over. Lincecum, 25, then pulled out a small pouch and a pipe.
Washington State Patrol trooper and spokesman Steve Schatzel said the exact amount was 3.3 grams, which is considered enough for personal use only.
U.S. & World
The stash was about the size of your thumb, so the trooper cited Lincecum for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. That is the normal protocal, according to Washington officials.
Two officers interacted with Lincecum. One of them says he did recognize the name.
Lincecum is pretty well known up north. He grew up in Bellevue, Washington, and played college ball at the University of Washington.
Lincecum won the Cy Young award last year. He is the Giants' biggest star and is expected to get a $10 million raise for 2010 through arbitration.
The speeding ticket will cost him $122. It's not known how much the added citation will cost. And it is still to be determined if the incident will have any effect on his day job.

"The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) released today the final framework for margin requirements for non-centrally cleared derivatives. Under these globally agreed standards, all financial firms and systemically important non-financial entities that engage in non-centrally cleared derivatives will have to exchange initial and variation margin commensurate with the counterparty risks arising from such transactions. The framework has been designed to reduce systemic risks related to over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets, as well as to provide firms with appropriate incentives for central clearing while managing the overall liquidity impact of the requirements. The final requirements have been developed taking into account feedback from two rounds of consultation, as well as a quantitative impact study that helped inform the policy deliberations. Compared with the near-final framework proposed earlier this year, the final set of requirements includes the following modifications:
- The framework exempts physically settled foreign exchange (FX) forwards and swaps from initial margin requirements. Variation margin on these derivatives should be exchanged in accordance with standards developed after considering the Basel Committee supervisory guidance for managing settlement risk in FX transactions.
- The framework also exempts from initial margin requirements the fixed, physically settled FX transactions that are associated with the exchange of principal of cross-currency swaps. However, the variation margin requirements that are described in the framework apply to all components of cross-currency swaps.
- "One-time" re-hypothecation of initial margin collateral is permitted subject to a number of strict conditions. This should help to mitigate the liquidity impact associated with the requirements."

can anbody explain me what this parameter does? I researched oracle but I couldnt find much info on i.t
"High Salaries = Happiness = Project Success."
It is only used for benchmarking, do not use it if you do not want to loose your database. If you set it to TRUE and your database crashes or you perform a SHUTDOWN ABORT, you will not be able to start up that database again. Ever.
As I said, it is only used internaly by Oracle Corp when they set up their system for official (or less official) benchmark tests. It instructs the database to absolutely minimize the amount of redo information generated and written into redo log files. But it also means that no instance recovery is possible.
Do not touch that hidden parameter unless that database is just your play toy of yours.

The San Diego woman who claims Justin Bieber is her baby's father has more problems on her hands than a lawsuit against the teen pop star.
She's also got a court date elsewhere, thanks to a criminal case against her based on allegations she slapped an ex-boyfriend.
Mariah Yeater, 20, has a bench trial in Las Vegas on Dec. 12 on a misdemeanor battery charge that could land her in jail for six months and levy a $1,000 fine.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
According to a police report, Yeater slapped her 18-year-old ex on Dec. 21, 2010, while the pair argued over the man's new girlfriend's broken car window.
Yeater's lawyer said she pled not guilty but wouldn't comment further on the battery charge.
Yeater claims with her suit, in which she's seeking a paternity test and child support, that she became pregnant after having sex with Bieber backstage after one of his concerts.
Bieber, who is 17, has vehemently denied the claims and says he has never met Yeater.

Conservation and Environment in South Africa: Monthly Updates
Legodimo Nature Reserve - January 2010
Rain at last!
January in Legodimo was a month of new things. The rains have finally started!
The bush has come alive for a second time after there had been a long unusual break that had us worried about another drought.
The river's level is still increasing and we fear that we might not be able to cross at nearby Platjan Border Post for much longer. It has however transformed the surroundings to a lovely green which means we have very good sightings of wildlife.
The resident hippos are still getting friendlier and friendlier and seem to have accepted us as their neighbours. This could be a good opportunity for a study on their behaviour.
We have had our first sighting of a Leopard (Panthera pardus) for 2010! She was a magnificent female that was very relaxed with us only a couple of meters away from it. We got good photos which should be a new addition to the Carnivore Work Group's research project.
We finished removing yet another old internal fence line of barbed wire that stretched approximately 4km.
Our newest waterhole needed some repair after we had a heavy downpour over most of the reserve. We have now fortified the lowest point in the dam with Leadwood (Combretum imberbe) poles which should hopefully stop the elephants from running it down for their mud bathes on the side.
We didn't see any elephants on the reserve for most of the month due to water being scarce. They arrived back in full force though and we have now had a few encounters with 100+ individuals visiting the waterholes at the same time. They don't even give us chance to get back to the vehicle after starting the generator which had us in quite a predicament on a few occasions.
After the good rains this month we had to inspect our wrapped trees to make sure they don't get constricted by the wire we have strung around them. These strands of recycled wire deter elephants from debarking and thus killing the trees. With more water in the soil the trees expand which needs to be monitored so as to not kill the trees in our effort to save them.
A very strange discovery this month was a headless crocodile (Crocodilus niloticus) next to the Limpopo River. After dissecting it we found massive tooth marks all over its body and thus came to the conclusion that a bigger crock had taken its head off.
We failed to get any good photos using the remains of this crocodile with a camera trap.
Kathy Troke Thomas will sadly not be coming back to the project just yet and we would just like to wish her all the best for the future and hope to see her soon.
We hope February will have more rain and leopard as well as the elusive lions (Panthera leo) of which we are still finding tracks and signs more regularly.
Watch this space.
Greetings from hot Africa,
Gerrit Prinsloo
Conservation Director

On Tuesday night, I took the 14 home from the TAC meeting. The bus was packed with people, including several homeless people, who all got off at the same stop. The last woman to get off was in worse shape (both mentally and physically) than the rest and took almost five minutes to make it from the disabled section to the front of the bus. She stopped to stare at the floor, stopped to talk to herself, and, though she was barely able to move the cart she was pushing, became extremely agitated with anyone who tried to help her.
I can't lie: My patience and compassion were in short supply. (I had things to do, after all, not the least of which was to inhale a whole handful of Excedrin as soon as I arrived home.) I huffed. I sighed. Near the end of her trip down the aisle, I had begun to roll my eyes.
After she had finally made her exit, the man across from me started joking with his friend about how badly she had smelled. The driver joined in.
"Now that I know," she said, "I can refuse to transport her."
At this, another woman–one who had attempted to help the homeless woman with her cart–jumped to the front of the bus and began to lecture the rest of us.
"It only takes two months to become homeless," she shouted down the aisle. "It only takes a couple more to become depressed. We should be thanking God for what we have."
The driver sucked her teeth: "I'd like to thank God for soap and water."
***** *****
I am sensitive to the fact that this incident is a good example of the reason a lot of my own peers choose not to ride the bus. It's not just about the sensory unpleasantness of being near people in dire circumstances, or being reminded of the desperation that we might otherwise prefer to ignore. The thing is, folks don't necessarily have 30 minutes to get from downtown up the hill to the Central District.
As a person who rides city buses (Toto, we're not on the 545 anymore) on a daily basis, I realize that time losses like these are balanced by time savings in other areas (never having to search for parking; bus-enabled multi-tasking; no oil changes, tire changes, scheduled maintenance, or fill-ups; etc.), but you can't explain that to a bus-averse person who's on his second ride. And while I strongly believe that Metro should work to attract the riders who have a choice, the agency, with its limited resources, also has an obligation to serve (and certainly no right to ridicule) elderly homeless women who need transportation to shelters.
So yet again, I am confronted with this question: How do we create a public transportation system that truly serves everyone?
I'm not sure I know. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

About Sustainability at Clemson University
Sustainability is defined as the physical development and institutional operating practices that "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (World Commission on Environment and Development). Clemson University strives in every aspect to address sustainability and facilitate collaboration among students, faculty, staff and the community. Sustainability is the major focus in all campus energy production and consumption, water usage, waste management, transportation, construction projects and much more. The ambitious goals defined in the original President's Commission on Sustainability in the Sustainability Action Plan act as the coordinating body for our efforts to become a model of environmental stewardship.
As an institution, Clemson adopted a Sustainable Building Policy in 2004 and a Sustainable Energy Policy in 2008. Clemson had the first LEED-certified public building in South Carolina and has completed 13 LEED-certified projects, with several others in the works. In 2007, then President James F. Barker, along with 600 other presidents, signed the American College and University President's Climate Commitment. This included Clemson in a coalition of colleges and universities concerned about the impacts of climate change, and since signing this, carbon emissions have not exceeded the 2007 level, even as the square footage of Clemson has increased. Finally, with the establishment of the President's Commission on Sustainability in 2009, Clemson has taken steps to continue this tradition of sustainability.
In 2018, Clemson University recommitted to its focus on sustainability. The new Clemson University Sustainability Commission's charter was approved in the fall of 2018 and continues the work of President Barker's original commission.
Clemson University has pledged to reduce overall building energy intensity by 20 percent from 2000 to 2020 and to increase energy sourcing from renewable resources by 10 percent by 2025. These goals will be reached through innovations in technology, passionate faculty and students and collaborative efforts amongst all members of the Clemson community. The ultimate goal that will help guide us towards our objectives in 2020 and 2025 is the Net-Zero goal: Clemson University will achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2030.
Culture and Leadership
As one of the nation's top public universities, with particular emphasis on the sciences, engineering and economic development, Clemson University has both the capability and the obligation to help develop a sustainable world through:
1. the education of its students (our future decision makers and citizens)
2. cutting-edge research
3. developing a campus culture of conservation and green decisions
4. outreach beyond the campus
5. establishing world leadership in a green economy.
We recognize that this process will not be easy or quick. For too many years, energy has been too cheap, lifestyles too carefree and the environment too neglected. However, one of the best organizations to initiate change is a university. It is here that young people learn the way in which the world works and where they establish their adult lifestyle. It is here that bright minds produce new ideas, and it is here that educators can seek to interface with the world beyond the campus.

If you've got $3.4 million to burn and need a place to stash your Ferraris, look no further. Curbed reports that this 2,500-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment (bachelor pad, anyone?) sits atop Chicago's Lake Point Tower.
The asking price might seem steep, but take into account the 2,700-square-foot subterranean garage, which currently houses four Ferraris, a Porsche, and an Austin Healy. The garage, more aptly called a showroom, boasts bright red floors, Italian leather furniture, auto memorabilia, and a bar.

Story highlights
- Christopher Sepulvado's execution is scheduled for February 5
- The two-drug combination has only been used in one other execution
- An Ohio inmate appeared to gasp and convulse for about 10 minutes before he died
- European-based manufacturers have banned U.S. prisons from using their drugs in executions
Ahead of next week's scheduled execution of convicted killer Christopher Sepulvado, the Louisiana Department of Corrections has switched to the same controversial two-drug combination that was used in Ohio this month, the Louisiana department said.
"The reason for the change is that DOC has been unable to procure the drug, pentobarbital, specified in the one-drug protocol," DOC spokeswoman Pam Laborde said in a statement. "The Department will continue to attempt to obtain the drug or drugs necessary for either of the two protocols."
Gary Clements, part of Sepulvado's legal team, said an appeal will be filed Tuesday.
"We're not challenging capital punishment in his case ... just how it's going to be done," Clements said.
Sepulvado's execution is scheduled for February 5. He was sentenced to death for killing his 6-year-old stepson in 1992.
Like Ohio, Louisiana has been forced to find new drug protocols after European-based manufacturers banned U.S. prisons from using their drugs in executions -- among them, Danish-based Lundbeck, which manufactures pentobarbital.
Ohio inmate Dennis McGuire appeared to gasp and convulse for about 10 minutes before he died January 16 by lethal injection using the new combination of drugs -- midazolam, a sedative; and the painkiller hydromorphone -- according to reporters who witnessed the execution.
McGuire's family said the execution was "torture."
CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said McGuire's execution will likely spark debate over whether the use of the drugs constitutes cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the U.S. Constitution.
"Whenever there's a change in the lethal injection process, clearly it's subject to legal proceedings, and perhaps we will see those," Hostin said this month.
The change in execution drugs was not a surprise, Clements said.
"We predicted they would have trouble finding pentobarbital, and they would have their backs against the wall and they would be forced to do something drastic," Clements said. "(The) announcement has proven us correct."

Many expectant mothers in their third trimesters feel uncomfortable and are lacking self-esteem with their changing figure.
But for eight months pregnant Alessandra Ambrosio, the Brazilian supermodel actually claims she feels more confident than ever.
And to ride home her point of view, the 31-year-old has posed nude for a new ad campaign for Brazilian jewellery company Vivara.
The mother-of-one, who is expecting a baby boy with fiancé Jamie Muzar, stripped off with nothing but jewellery on for acclaimed photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Speaking about the campaign, she said: 'A nude photoshoot was good, because pregnancy makes me much more confident. I'm proud of my body to be generating a life…
'I wasn't ashamed to do a nude shoot for two of my favourite photographers. I'm happy to have one of the most important moments of my life recorded by them.'
Ambrosio posed for the shots recently at the famous five-star Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio De Janeiro.
The photoshoot was a closed set with just Alas and Piggott the only one's present.
Ambrosio has finally started her maternity leave after a busy promotional tour of Europe last month.
The beauty, who ended up at No.5 on the list of the world's best paid models with a $5million salary last year, visited Turkey, Poland, Germany and Spain to promote Phillips razors
Due to give birth to her second child next month, Ambrosio is already lining up post-baby modelling gigs.
She is determined to be back to her 34-25-34 size in time for the launch of the Victoria's Secret store in London in July.
She said recently: 'I already have jobs planned for afterwards so hopefully will be back in shape.
'I told my booker and my manager; "I know I have a job to do, so just book the jobs and hopefully it'll be fine."
'I only have a few more jobs to do before I have the baby – all editorial, no more catwalk now – and then I hope to be back in London for the opening of the Victoria's Secret store in July. I should definitely be back for the next Victoria's Secret show – I have quite a while until then.'
Ambrosio was nearly three months pregnant when she walked in the Victoria's Secret catwalk show last November.

I hope everyone is well. I have had more fun with this game down through the years. It is astonishing to me. I never thought this would happen.

The Supro Gold Foil pickup is a faithful reproduction of the original "Clear-Tone" units found in the Chicago-made Supro guitars and basses from the early 60's. These, high-output single coil pickups use a unique "Field Coil" design (no pole pieces) to provide a clear, broadband tone that is suitable for both guitar and bass. Found in our Westbury and Jamesport guitar models as well as the Huntington bass, the full-size Supro Gold Foil pickups contain authentic vintage coil construction, housed in a standard humbucker case. The bridge pickup is over-wound for extra output and the neck pickup is reverse wound for hum canceling operation when combined with the bridge unit. Like all Supro single coil designs, the entire baseplate and cover of the pickup is magnetized, providing ultra-low-noise performance from a single coil pickup.

DOVER — To excel in high-school football in New Hampshire, it's good to be able to play a number of positions. And no one in the Seacoast area did that better than Ryan Monette. It's also possible no one enjoyed it more.
"I love every position," Monette said. "I love playing the most I can play, offense, defense, special teams. I played mostly running back, but receiver was awesome. I got short passes and got my yards to help the team."
Monette completed his senior season at St. Thomas Aquinas High School with more than 1,350 total yards of offense, 16 touchdowns and 381 return yards. That was coming off a year in which he had 1,438 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns as the Saints went undefeated and won the 2011 Division V championship. He is Foster's Daily Democrat's player of the year.
"We could put him anywhere on the field," second-year St. Thomas coach Eric Cumba said. "There was a time when he'd even take snaps as quarterback. We were able to put him in many different stations, even defense."
Cumba said Monette's size (5-foot-9, 150 pounds) helped him find the holes and evade tacklers like no one else in the area.
"He's a tiny guy," Cumba said. "He's low to the ground, his center of gravity is lower, so he doesn't need as much energy to go side to side. His leg strength allows him to be more explosive out of those cuts. Our line wasn't that big, but he was good at getting behind them and coming out the other end."
Monette credited Cumba for coming up with an offense that made the most of everyone's talents.
"He created the schemes to work with the players he had," Monette said. "Even from last year to this year, he changed it. He got everyone involved."
Cumba said that even with the season Monette had the year before, it was a challenge to find new ways to get his star running back the ball.
"His name was known by a lot of coaches in the state, even though we were new to Division IV," Cumba said. "He had a slow start in that first game, but he started getting better. Then he had a big game against Laconia."
In that game, a 47-15 rout, Monette scored three touchdowns, including a 50-yard strike on the second offensive play of the game. Monette scored again on a 1-yard run on the Saints' next drive, and the home team held a 13-0 lead before the game was four minutes old.
"We kept using him in different places," Cumba said. "As the year went on, we were trying to be more creative. More teams watched film and were trying to do anything they could to keep him under wraps as best as possible."
The week after the drubbing of Laconia, a showdown of 3-0 teams at Windham (the team St. Thomas beat in the D-V title game the year before), it was a different story for the Saints. Monette caught a touchdown pass, but St. Thomas was beaten 51-16, the first loss since Monette's sophomore season.
Monette said he and his fellow seniors took the loss hard.
"That first loss was a tragedy to the team," Monette said. "Our streak was over. We wanted to keep that streak going. I think we thought under this coaching staff that we were an unstoppable team with an unstoppable scheme. But we were holding on to last year, and I think that hurt us."
The Saints made the playoffs with a 6-3 record, clinching a spot in the playoffs at the last possible moment, after a dramatic 29-28 win at Hanover in the regular-season finale. Hayden Middleton drilled a 39-yard field goal as time expired for the win.
"That was one of the best games we've ever played in," Monette said. "Everyone thought it was great that we came back. It wasn't just getting into the playoffs. We came all the way back and winning it on a field goal in the last second, and then see our fans go crazy on the sidelines, will always be something to remember."
The fun ended in the playoffs with a 42-17 loss at No. 1 Plymouth. But not before the Saints took a 10-7 lead into halftime, which Monette said was the only time Plymouth trailed all year.
"We definitely brought the momentum from the Hanover game," Monette said. "We said that if we could come back against Hanover, we could do anything. It didn't matter that Plymouth was undefeated. They were shocked at halftime, but they came out and pounded the ball, and that first touchdown they scored deflated us. We lost it from there."
Monette has had his sights set on playing at the college level since his sophomore year at Saint Thomas, when he became a one-sport athlete to concentrate on football. He said he's been recruited at every level from Division III to I, but declined to say where he has narrowed his search. He said he would like to play in a pass-oriented offense and doesn't see himself playing running back at the next level."
"Every player wants to play in the top division," Monette said. "But football isn't the only thing that's going into the search. Whatever team that can get me into their scheme is really the team for me."
Cumba said Monette's success and his college football potential is a direct result of his hard work and intense physical training.
"He's gym junkie," Cumba said. "Every time I'm talk to him, he's off to the gym. He's a good student too. From an athletic and academic standpoint, he's close to the whole package."

There's no question that some of us love an all-natural woman. But we all have our own definitions of what qualifies as "natural," don't we? For some, it might be about having natural breasts. However, if you've clicked this particular category, then your definition of natural probably lands in the area of women with big, hairy bushes. So if you're looking for some hairy pussy cam sex, you've landed in the right place.
These babes keep it "au naturel" with their completely unshaven muffs. Some of the babes even take it a step further by having unshaven legs and armpits, but don't worry, if that type of babe isn't for you, there are always plenty online to choose from, so you can pick your preferred level of hairiness.
There are different types of hairy babes to choose from. While they all have the unshaven thing in common, there is plenty that differentiates them as well. Either way, there's a cam babe with a hairy pussy out there for you. And you can use the helpful advanced search to narrow down your search and find the perfect babe – pick her eye color, age, body type, breast size, ethnicity and more. You'll savor every moment you spend with these girls.
RabbitsCams wants to give you choices and that includes the girls and their shows. So, you can experience the site and the live cam interaction that is right for you at that time. Starting for free, every cam girls' public chat room is open to you. You can chat with her right away without having to register. You can also take a look at her profile, which provides more info and sometimes photo sets.
Moving from the free to the private chat ups your enjoyment ten-fold. Going private is where they will be focused on you and you can engage with them and build a connection. Don't be shy to ask these hair-loving babes to play with every inch of their bodies. There are also Gold Shows available. These are just as arousing, but they do involve more people watching the performer and more people for her to interact with as she teases and pleases. The experience is very different, but very appealing as well – so, try them both and see what you prefer.
To round out your live cam experience, we have features that will make your user experience that much better:
So, what more could you possibly want? If you're ready to share a hairy cam experience, it's time to stop reading and start watching!

Much like America's enduring affection for Bon Jovi and acid wash jeans, audiences still love 80's style action movies.
Sylvester Stallone hit American movie-goers with a double barrel blast from the past this weekend with an all-star cast of over 40-year-old actors and took the top spot at the box office.
The 'Rambo' star was backed by a fist-full of yesteryear's beefcakes: Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger were among that aging action actors. "Expendables" earned $35 million in its opening weekend.
U.S. & World
The box office ying to the Expendable's yang was "Eat Pray Love," the Julia Robert's led female travel story. The film earned a very respectable $23.7 million.
"We figured anyone going to see 'Eat Pray Love' would not want to see 'Expendables,' and vice versa," David Spitz, head of Lionsgate distribution told the AP.
But the old men of "the Expendables" managed to attract more than a few women, boasting a healthy 39% female viewership. For "Eat Pray Love," older women was the dominant demographic with 56% of ticket buyers over the age of 35.
Will Ferrel's cop romp "the Other Guys" had a short stay on top, tumbling to third place in its second week in theatres.

Using a clay bar will remove embedded surface contamination that still remains after a maintenance wash. Sometimes the contamination removed is not always visible on the paint to the naked eye. After using a clay bar on your paint you will be left with a surface that is as smooth as glass and properly prepped. It is now ready for polish or for you to apply layers of protection. Not only can you clay your vehicles paint, but glass, wheels, lights and more. A common misconception about using a clay bar is that it has an impact on removing swirls and scratches, it does not.
We recommend using a clay bar roughly twice a year, or before details where you plan on polishing the paint. If your car is subject to industrial fallout or heavily contaminated areas, using a clay bar more often may be required.

The Boxing Day Tsunami
This material was originally created for On the Cutting Edge: Professional Development for Geoscience Faculty
and is replicated here as part of the SERC Pedagogic Service.
Learning Goals
- Discover relationships between patterns in depths of seismic events and tectonic plate boundaries
- Understand the mechanisms that occur at the various types of plate boundaries
- Learn how tsunami waves are generated and propagated
- Synthesize quantitative and descriptive information to develop opinions regarding what adjustments in lifestyles should societies make in order to mitigate potential seismic and tsunami hazard
- Seek explanations for seemingly anomalous data regarding heights of tsunami runups and distance from the source event
- Interpret physical evidence for seismic events that are represented by minimal historic documentation
- Find the locations of evidence for these events on Google Earth
- Discover relationships between the velocity of seismic waves and physical features that the waves encounter during their advance
- Consider resiliency measures that should be implemented to protect communities from tsunami events and from other coastal hazards such as storms and sea level rise due to climate change
Context for Use
The activity is best suited for a course that studies global concerns, and which gives students an understanding of interrelationships between components of the Earth system, including a perspective on the reasons why people have chosen to live in areas that happen to be seismically active, and along coastlines that may be subject to tsunami events. Prior to this activity, students should be provided with a basic understanding of plate tectonics and the causes and effects of seismic events.
This exercise was originally used in an undergraduate course at Stony Brook University - GEO 311: Geoscience and Global Concerns. Enrollment in the course was a mixture of geoscience and non-geoscience majors.
Fundamental Information about Using Google Earth
The User Guide is designed to provide information on using Google Earth to educators and students. In addition, the following links to Google's own documentation can offer guidance for specific skills needed for this exercise:
Google Earth User Guide: Introduction

Description and Teaching Materials
The students need to be provided with the following handout which contains the instructions for this activity:
Student Handout for Boxing Day Tsunami Activity: (Word doc) (Microsoft Word 37kB Nov4 08) or (pdf) (Acrobat (PDF) 30kB Nov4 08)
Also hand out the one-page Google Earth Tip Sheet (.pdf)
Google Earth Tip Sheet (Acrobat (PDF) 440kB Nov20 08)
They will need the following data files:
Boxing Day Tsunami Google Earth KMZ Data File (KMZ File 673kB Oct22 08)
NGDC Boxing Day Tsunami Wave Travel Time Overlay (KMZ File 331kB Oct22 08)
The students will need to access the following external web sites:
USGS: Magnitude 9.1 - OFF THE WEST COAST OF NORTHERN SUMATRA
Carleton College Science Education Resource Center: Tsunami Visualizations
Pacific Northwest Seismic Network: January, 1700 Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami
Students should be seated at computer workstations individually or in pairs. They should be asked to complete the exercise according to the instructions on the handout by using Google Earth, visiting the specified web sites, and writing their answers in the space provided underneath each question. It may be helpful to provide them with some basic instruction on using Google Earth if they do not have experience with it.
In GEO 311: Geoscience and Global Concerns, we engaged the students periodically in informal discussion during the exercise, and had them hand their activity sheets in at the end of the session for grading.
Teaching Notes and Tips
Time needed for this exercise may vary depending upon the amount of previous experience students have had using Google Earth and the amount of time devoted to informal discussion during the exercise. Typically, 80 minutes should be sufficient for completion of the exercise if the students are familiar with Google Earth, but the exercise can be used effectively even if it is apportioned over multiple class sessions.
It is best to associate the exercise with some discussion in order to facilitate understanding of the material.

text: I left work early yesterday and met with our realtor to see more homes. Frank got stuck at work and joined us later. We toured a couple dumps that were bank owned, but we also saw three homes that were listed by homeowners. What a difference! The homes were well maintained and clean. One in particular was a diamond in the rough. It's a 4 bedroom 3 bath home with sun room, pool and spa. The sellers are the original owners and they took great pride in their home. The place is immaculate. The house has everything we are seeking and a bit more, and it's located on a cul-de-sac in the SW west part of town that we enjoy. The only downside is the list price is higher than our budget allows since we intend to keep the condo. We plan to place an offer about $20k below list, hopefully, the sellers will accept. Before we can write the contract we need a new approval letter from our lender. Our last one qualified us based on the sale of the condo, now, we need one that confirms we still qualify. Frank already has the ball rolling on that, with any luck the lender will move quickly and we'll have it wrapped up today or tomorrow. Then maybe, just maybe, we will call this house home

Disney/Pixar's cute robot epic Wall-E will be hitting in summer, and they've just released a new image of the sad-looking little title character that'll tug at your heartstrings. At a time when cinematic robots have become super-cars, or terrifying red-eyed machines with complete disregard for human life, Wall-E reminds us that there's a robot counterculture full of sweet, dreamy, groovy bots who just want to sniff the flowers. Get ready for Wall-E with our list of the very best (erm, at least the most memorable) wacky bots.
- Disney balanced out the scary as hell Maximillian and the human zombie robo-droids in The Black Hole with V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and his retarded robo-brother Old B.O.B., voiced by Roddy McDowall and Slim Pickens, respectively. They could hover off the ground and fire laser blasts, but were mostly played for comic effect, especially the Southern drawling B.O.B., who goes down with his ship in a teary farewell.
- Johnny Five from Short Circuit was goofy as hell, turning from a hunk of rolling military metal into a sentient robo-dork that falls in love with Ally Sheedy after being struck by lightning. According to the movie, he cost $11,000,000 to build, making him fairly cheap by military standards, but his association with Steve Guttenberg in the movie has to drag that value way down. The movie spawned a forgettable sequel, and Johnny Five hasn't been seen since.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy gave us Marvin the Paranoid Android, who we've seen in both the film and television versions of the project. For my money, I prefer the TV version's look, although you can't beat Alan Rickman's voiceover in the movie. A brain the size of a planet, and he's asked to be a servant for humans. It's no wonder he's depressed all the time.
- Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet was the first robot to come along who actually had a personality, and managed to shed years of cold robot fortitude and emotionless monotonal voices. He even had a sense of humor and could even cook. He's made countless film and tv appearances since 1956, and is probably the one robot we'd really want to take home with us out of all of them on this list.
- Lost in Space provided "The Robot" or "Robot" as he was always called, although his packing crate said "ONE General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental ROBOT," which some people surmise means his name may have been "Gunter." Personally, "Robot" sounds a lot better. He often traded witticisms with the fey Dr. Smith, and although his most famous quote is "Danger, Will Robinson!" he only said it once on the show. The movie version of Robot looked a hell of a lot cooler, but suffered from being in a sucky movie.
- V.I.C.I. from Small Wonder was a robot that the dad built at his job, who basically stole her to bring home and use as a household chore slave. However, thanks to the ratty redhaired brat living next door who constantly spied on them, they had to make up incredible lies and pretend that they'd adopted her. Of course, wacky robot hijinx ensued, and V.I.C.I. was often seen lifting couches and moving at super-speed, much to that red-headed bitch's astonishment. Sadly, she's faded into television obscurity.
- The entire cast of Robots. This movie featured Ewan McGregor, Robin Williams, Drew Carey and others as the voices of a cadre of robots that farted, whizzed, made tons of bathroom jokes, and basically made me avoid this movie like the plague. If you've really wanted to see a robot make a joke about the size of another robot's ass, then this movie is for you. Plus, it helps if you're a fan of the aforementioned fart jokes. In spades.

It's only been seven weeks since the Basketball Wives star gave birth to her baby boy Carl Leo Crawford, but Lozada has already lost 30 of the 42 pounds she gained during her pregnancy. "I'm proud of where I'm at so far," she told ABC News. "My body feels like it's almost back to normal." How did she do it? Lozada says her diet consists of oatmeal or egg whites for breakfast, and fish and veggies, largely sweet potato, for lunch. In addition, she's been taking weight loss supplement YouthH2O, for which she's a spokesperson.
"I also work out three to four times a week," she said. "I have been sleep deprived lately and going to the gym can be hectic when you have no time in your schedule. But, on the days that I do have a moment, I do a ton of cardio, weight training—which I love—and hiking."

Losing 40 pounds of water weight first, Mariah combined a Jenny Craig-certified diet and workout plan. She ate no more than 1,500 calories a day and worked out three times a week with water aerobics until she was finally ready to flaunt her new figure.
10. Salma Hayek Share Secrets on Her Post-Baby Body
Salma Hayek
The Mexican superstar was in no hurry to take the weight off, telling Oprah that she believes women should give themselves the same nine months to lose weight as it took to gain it.
After suffering from gestational diabetes, Salma told Oprah that she got her body back thanks to Diet Designs--a program founded in Los Angeles by nutritionist to the stars Carrie Wiatt. Her only regret? Not being able to lose the weight with breastfeeding: "Except for a couple of exceptions, the only reason people lose weight like that when they're breastfeeding--it's that they're not eating and they're breastfeeding and that's not good for the baby."
11. Mom Fitness: Camila Alves
Camila Alves
Camila Alves doesn't play around when it comes to giving her body the time it needs to heal. After giving birth to her daughter, Vida, Camila didn't hit the gym right away contrary to what most celebs do. Instead she exercised a process known to Brazilians as "quarentena."
On practicing "quarentena": "You kind of respect all the hard workyour body has just done and give it a break. For these 40 days, you really take it easy," she said to Us Magazine. "By that I mean no sex, light, healthy food, no trips to the gym. Then, after 40 days, you are good to go."

14. Mom Fitness: Adrina Lima
Adriana Lima
Let's face it, most new moms hate on Adriana Lima and most supermodels that immediately bounce back into shape days after giving birth. Especially when she calls bouncing back into shape "easy." Her workout includes lots of cardio and is paired with a no-carb all-protein diet.
On going to the gym: "Often I [go] twice in one day! It can be anywhere from one hour to two hours."

How she lost weight: The "Ten Paciencia" singer used a detox diet, which included 60 percent of veggies, 40 percent protein, and zero carbs! She revealed to People.com that she "immediately felt lighter." We think her regimen should be called Thalia's South Beach diet!

Other than being a big fan of basketball, I'm also a big fan of boxing. My favorite boxers out there right now is RJJ and Allan Green. Who are your favorite boxers and who do you think is the pound for pound champ?
Other than being a big fan of basketball, I'm also a big fan of boxing. My favorite boxers out there right now is RJJ and Allan Green. Who are your favorite boxers and who do you think is the pound for pound champ?
Stay Tuned.....
I like boxing too. I like Andrew Golota fought multiple times for heavyweight title. Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah is nice. I liked Lenox Lewis. Of course I think the champ is Bernard Hopkins. Having the title for so long and loosing it.
Zab Judah is going to get eaten alived by Miguel Cotto.
I'd have to disagree with that man...it's going to be a good fight, but when Zab is on his A game...no one can stop him. Mayweather almost felt his wrath until he fought stupid and stepped away from his game plan which was to utilize his quickness. Cotto is going to have to cut off the ring to even stand a chance. I'm saying Zab by UD. I Just hope my boy RJJ makes his comeback strong.
Stay Tuned.....
Cotto is a BEAST, after he destroys Judah, he should have a mega match with Mayweather Jr. and crown himself as the King.
Puerto Rico is the best pound for pound. Larry Merchant would agree.
Ring Magazine P4P List
1.Floyd Maweather
3.Raphael Marquez
4.Juan Manuel Marquez
5.Winky Wright
7.Joe Calzaghe (chump)
8.Marco Antonio Barrera
9.Ricky Hatton
10.Jermain Taylor
This obviously proves why America is easily the best place to fight the P4P champs...African American at that. The best figher of our generation was RJ in my opinion so even proves the argument even better. Next is Mexico then its arguable from there. B-Hop and RJ my top 2 faves should have gotten it on 3-4 years ago...it might have been the most anticipated fight in the past 15-20 years. RJ still has something left in the tank and B-Hop is fighting father time so we'll see....Judah wins by UD
Stay Tuned.....
Puerto Rico is number 1 for boxers. There are 215.3 white Americans. There are 40 million African Americans. There are 26.8 million Mexican Americans and 103 million Mexicans.
Puerto Rican is an island about 3.8 million people and in the United States there are under 4 million Puerto Ricans. Porpotion wise, Puerto Rican stands superior in being a powerhouse of talent. Those three other groups are well respected and have credibility, but Puerto Rican stands number one if you want to look at talent production.
US- 275 Million
Mexico- 105 MIllion
PR- 7 Million (half on the island, half in the US)
I think it's been settled that pound for pound (or I should say, square mile per square mile) its Puerto Rico. (It's a common saying among PR boxers that we are the best boxers b/c we are the best dancers... ). But the country with the best and most champs is Mexico...and you can't be a Mexican fighter without a ton of heart and a chin made of granite. I think that the US has so many champs b/c with a population of 275 million, you're bound to have a bunch of great champs.
PR has the best claim of this for sure.
Judah will be another victim.
In proportion, Puerto Rico is and has been the biggest champion producer in the World.
Tru tru tru, but I'm just being realistic. That's good that you know all those statistics and it's true that puerto rico has a smaller population than Afro-Americans and Mexicans. But the only credible puerto ricans that come to my mind is Camacho, Cotto, and Trinidad...I could go for days about African American fighters. We all know the #1 of all-time is Sugar Ray Robinson...that is not really arguable. Next would be Ali in my opinion. Really the only chance Cotto has against Zab is if he cuts off the ring...otherwise his face will be cut and bloody just like his other opponents. He is one of the quickest fighers out there hand and footspeed. His power has something to be desired but the speed will lightup the best of them. When you dominate half of a fight against one of the best defensive boxers in Mayweather...ya gotta give him props. All I know is none of those cats could touch my boy Roy at his prime...NO ONE
Stay Tuned.....
I'd luv 2 see Mayweather and Cotto (I think Mayweather is ducking him) but i still think Mayweather would beat him. I think this Judah fight is gonna be a good fight if it goes past 5. Mayweather=G.O.A.T
I like Mayweather...he's a good guy...but people compare him to RJ and he's nowhere close to him. He gotta step his game up to be put in a league like RJ, B-Hop...or any of those guys...talented guy but he shouldn't be in the top 50 boxers of all-time.
Stay Tuned.....
what!!!????? Mayweather not in the to 50??? ur buggin
nah man I didn't say it even though I believe it...read this article http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxing_fo...c,48054.0.html
"Floyd Mayweather is still active and has not yet proven that he deserves to be on this list. Perhaps he will once his career is finished but it remains to be seen. Although undefeated Floyd was given a gift in his first fight against Jose Luis Castillo and if his name had been Merriweather instead of Mayweather he would have lost. In his most recent outing against Delahoya he was far from spectacular. Former boxer and writer Frank Lotierzo offered this opinion, "Mayweather is so basic and does nothing special. I have never seen him create or set a trap, ala Robinson setting up Fullmer for the left-hook in their rematch. Or the way Leonard lured Hagler to follow him around the ring, then stop, so he could move as Hagler was getting set to throw, disrupting his whole rhythm and keeping him a step behind." Mayweather is physically gifted but against Delahoya he simply took what Oscar gave him. Floyd did not make Oscar do things that he didn't want to do. Floyd may end up on this list, but he still has something to prove before such accolades can be bestowed upon him. It's best to evaluate fighters like Mayweather once their career, or at least their best days are behind them."
He gives reasons...they ranked RJ at 44 which is definitely wrong, he deserves better. But there's always disputable rankings in boxing.
Stay Tuned.....
He's still the greatest IMO (can't see ne1 in the history of boxing beating him) I would've loved 2 see him and Sweet Pea Whitaker in their primes throwin down.
The Greatest of our time...former world middleweight, world super middleweight, world light heavyweight, and heavyweight champion of the world, defeated James Toney, B-Hop, Virgil Hill, and countless of other world champions...at his prime people thought he was the best EVER...made greats look bad and his style is like no other...won 49 consecutive fights (the griffin DQ doesn't count in my opinion since the winner was out on the canvas) at his prime his was to quick for the bigs...to strong for the lil guys...and that right hook would shatter anything it would touch including Virgil Hills ribs and countless of boxers jaws...this man was the fighter of the decade for a reason...he is easily the best of our time...look at this and decide for yourself...

Agencies Shine In Preparedness Exercise For Speedway
Key members of the table-top exercise included: track president Clay Campbell (second from left) and ISC President John Saunders, (third from right).
More than 100 representatives from law enforcement, public safety, fire, EMS, hospitals, public health departments, department of transportation, Martinsville Speedway and NASCAR gathered Monday to help continue to guarantee the safety of race fans on event weekends at Martinsville Speedway.
It was part of a five-hour table-top exercise for discussion and review of first responder agencies and regional hospital plans and how those plans are best coordinated with those of state and federal agencies in case of a major incident at Martinsville Speedway during an event weekend.
Exercise participants were presented with a fictional but plausible threat scenario that required them to respond in real time to a race-day emergency at Martinsville Speedway. It was part of the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program sponsored by the Near Southwest Preparedness Alliance.
"I came away from Monday's exercise very impressed. Everyone reacted to real-time situations amazingly," said John Saunders, president of International Speedway Corporation, Martinsville Speedway's parent company. Saunders made the trip from ISC's corporate offices in Daytona Beach, FL, to witness the exercise.
"I'm a big believer in these types of table-top exercises. It's something we try to do often at all of our tracks. We have to make sure our tracks and all of the organizations supporting them are as prepared as possible for any possible situation. After witnessing Monday's exercise, I know our fans at Martinsvillle Speedway are in good hands."
The table-top exercise was made as realistic as possible. It even involved determining how many beds were available in several hospitals at the exact time the exercise was running.
"The primary goal of this exercise was to determine the preparedness of regional hospitals in case such an incident occurred here," said Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell. "Not only did we find out they were prepared, we discovered that all of our supporting agencies have effective plans in place. Just as importantly, we were amazed at how well all of the many agencies interacted and worked together. The end result was very reassuring."
Participants in the exercise included Martinsville Speedway, NASCAR, Virginia State Police, Henry County Sheriff's Office, Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, Henry County Department of Public Safety, Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Carilion Clinic Patient Transportation, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Air Care, Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County, Danville Regional Medical Center, Pioneer Community Hospital, Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, Carilion Medical Center, Lewis Gale Medical Center, Lynchburg General Hospital, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Forsyth Medical Center, Moses Cone Hospital, Wesley Long Hospital, High Point Regional Health System, Morehead Memorial Hospital, Annie Penn Hospital, Northern Hospital of Surry County, Virginia Department of Health West Piedmont Health District, and Virginia Department of Health Western Region.
Racing returns to Martinsville Speedway October 24-26 with the Goody's® Headache Relief Shot® 500 weekend. To purchase tickets call 877.RACE.TIX or visit www.martinsvillespeedway.com.

A pug puppy that was supposed to be delivered to a 7-year-old girl sick with leukemia on Christmas but was instead kept by the woman in charge of delivering it has been retrieved by police.
Riverside resident Shawna Hamon purchased a pug after hearing about a sick girl's condition and her desire for a pug for Christmas. Hamon entrusted an acquaintance to deliver the puppy to the girl in Sacramento, according to a statement from the Riverside Police Department.
But the puppy never arrived.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Rescue Dogs Prepare for Rose Parade Performance
Police said Hamon sent an animal delivery service and an attorney to the acquaintance's Los Angeles home, but the woman refused to give the dog back. Hamon eventually filed a police report and a search warrant was served in the 3900 block of Edenhurst Avenue, officials said.
The dog wasn't found at the residence. Police said they searched several other locations and eventually found the pug at a house in the 5500 block of Carlton Way.
Officers learned later that the woman somehow found out about the dog search and left the puppy at a neighbor's house before their arrival, police said.
Pets Do Make Good Gifts: Study
Officer Anthony Watkins retrieved the dog and gave it back to Hamon, officials said.
The child, currently receiving experimental treatment in Philadelphia will now have the dog hand-delivered by Hamon herself, police said.
Watkins is working with the Riverside County District Attorney's Office in pursuing potential theft charges.

Genesis 29:15-28 New International Version (NIV)
15 Laban said to him, "Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be."
16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah had weak[a] eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful. 18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel."
19 Laban said, "It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me." 20 So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her."
22 So Laban brought together all the people of the place and gave a feast. 23 But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her. 24 And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her attendant.
25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?"
26 Laban replied, "It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one. 27 Finish this daughter's bridal week; then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work."
28 And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
