Just after the pavement turns to gravel, we found the information kiosk below which indicates that this is the geographical center of Wyoming. This may be the case, but my trusty Wyoming Road and Recreational Atlas (with 80 big pages of maps) states that it is around 25 miles southwest of here and less than five miles northwest of Castle Gardens in Fremont County.
What causes me to doubt the map on this kiosk is that it places the "you are here" north of Arminto rather than south. Here is the satellite image of Arminto being at the junction of CR-104 and the railroad.
Our new profile picture was taken in front of this kiosk.
Below is the junction of CR-105 (which heads northeast) and CR-109 or Bighorn Mountain Road (which heads northwest). We took CR-109 into the foothills.
After eating, we headed home. This is one of the views of the valley where we had been earlier in the day:

Flyers add depth with Talbot, Liljaby Mike G. Morreale / NHL.com
After nailing down one of the bigger fishes of the free agent market in Jaromir Jagr earlier in the day, Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren opted for a little depth in the lineup.
Holmgren did just that when he signed pending unrestricted free agent center Maxime Talbot and defenseman Andreas Lilja each to multi-year contracts. Talbot, whose ability in the faceoff circle and playoff experience were probably areas coveted by Holmgren, inked a five-year deal reportedly worth $9 million.
Lilja, meanwhile, was signed to a three-year deal worth $5.1 million.
Talbot, who scored the game-winner that won the Penguins the Stanley Cup in 2009, is a solid third-line center and strong penalty killer. The 27-year-old fan favorite had spent his entire six-year career with the Penguins after being drafted by the team in the eighth round in 2002. He had 8 goals and 21 points in 82 games this past season.
Talbot totaled 52 goals and 108 points in 388 regular-season games with the Penguins. He also had 14 goals and 33 points in 66 Stanley Cup playoff contests. He'll certainly fill some of the tough minutes lost in the dealing of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter last week.
Lilja, 35, has spent 10 seasons in the League, including five with the Detroit Red Wings from 2005-10. He produced 16 goals and 81 points in 530 career games.

A 32-year-old Rio Linda man with membership in a street gang will spend the next 14 years in a state prison following an incident last month in which he fled from police in Roseville and a loaded handgun fell out of his pocket.
David Michael Perez was given the prison term by Placer County Superior Court Judge Mark S. Curry after pleading no contest to four felony charges and three misdemeanor counts stemming from a June 12 traffic stop in which the defendant was a passenger in a car.
Prosecutor Stephanie Macumber of the Placer County District Attorney's Office said Perez got out of the car on the Sierra Street Bridge in Roseville and ran away.
As he fled from officers, Perez jumped on the hood of a parked car, denting it, and a loaded gun fell out of his pocket, Macumber said. Perez was eventually captured with help from the Roseville Police Department's canine unit, she said.
"The defendant had prior convictions and was a validated, active gang member," Macumber said. "He was not allowed to have a gun."
On July 21, Perez entered a plea of no contest to the felony charges, which included carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, street terrorism and vandalism.
He also pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges of resisting or obstructing peace officers and one misdemeanor count of carrying a loaded firearm. In addition, Perez did not contest special allegations of having prior felony offenses.
Macumber said the conviction means that Perez will now have two felony strikes on his criminal record.

Vehicle crashes today on the northbound and southbound San Diego (405) Freeway — one of them fatal — shut down some lanes in both directions and turned the normally tough morning commute through the Sepulveda Pass into a nightmare for motorists trying to get to work or head out of town for the holidays.
The two occurred almost directly opposite each other near the Valley Vista exit leading to Ventura Boulevard.
The first crash, which resulted in a car fire, took place on the southbound 405 around 6:20 a.m. and shut down the carpool and numbers 1 and 2 lanes, California Highway Patrol Officer Christopher Cracraft said.
The second crash in the northbound lanes happened about 15 minutes later, fire department spokesman Brian Humphrey said. It resulted in one fatality and two other people taken to hospitals in serious condition, he said, adding that the second crash, which also shut down three lanes, involved four vehicles.
"The fatality was a 64-year-old man," Cracraft said. His name was withheld pending notification of kin.
The injured parties in the fatal crash were a man and woman taken to Northridge Hospital, authorities said.
The fatal collision temporarily shut down all northbound traffic, but CHP officers then reopened the two far right lanes to help with traffic flow, Cracraft said. Both resulted in SigAlerts being declared by the CHP.
The southbound lanes reopened at 8:30 a.m. The northbound lanes were finally cleared at 11:30 a.m., and the remaining SigAlert was canceled.
Both crashes remain under investigation by the CHP.

Black Math.
The show is up until the end of October, if you live in Toronto head on over to the Steam Whistle Brewery and take a peek. I have to say, I'm super proud of all my friends, this one is a particularly good show, the art of such high calibre, it's a little astonishing that most of us are not making a living off this stuff!
Sadly I forgot to take ANY photos at the opening. I'm a bit flakey like that. The frames these guys are in are actually pretty nice, gently roughed up by my fiancé. They are for sale, and any inquiries can be directed to my email (firstname.lastname@example.com). When the show comes down I will probably also be offering these as prints.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Penn State has 67 scholarship players on its football roster and coach Bill O'Brien sees no reason why that will change significantly by the time the season starts Aug. 31.
O'Brien said Wednesday he doesn't expect a second wave of departures from the Nittany Lions, even though NCAA sanctions still allow his players to transfer without sitting out a season.
Ten players transferred out of Penn State after the NCAA handed down severe sanctions last summer in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal. O'Brien was forced to prepare for his first preseason practice with uncertainty over who would show up for training camp.
Players can still leave without penalty until the 2013 season starts, but O'Brien said he has not spent any time this offseason re-recruiting his guys.
"I don't see the mass exodus coming,'' O'Brien said before speaking to a banquet hall full of Penn State supporters in midtown Manhattan. "We're going to coach who shows up July 31st for training camp. I think we're way past that. I think our kids are committed.''
The Penn State coaches' caravan was making one of its final stops before heading home to State College, Pa., and O'Brien, as usual, was the headliner. Men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers, field hockey coach Charlene Morett and men's volleyball coach Mark Pavlik also spoke, but it was O'Brien who received a standing ovation at the fundraiser.
O'Brien quoted his predecessor, Joe Paterno, as he finished off his 15-minute pep talk, appealing to the crowd to fill Beaver Stadium on Saturdays this season.
"I don't want your two cents, but I do want your money,'' O'Brien said, drawing laughs and applause.
Penn State, with an average attendance of about 96,700, was at 91-percent capacity in 2012, down from the usual 97-98 percent. The Nittany Lions went 8-4 in O'Brien's first season.
After O'Brien took over, the NCAA docked Penn State 20 scholarships per year for three years, starting with the latest recruiting class. The Nittany Lions are in the second season of a four-year postseason ban. The NCAA allows major college football teams a maximum of 85 scholarship players, and most of Penn State's competition will be at or near that number.
"I believe we have a really good core of players. I'm not going to get into whether we can win the Big Ten or not,'' he said. "But I think we have really good core players and believe we can be a competitive team every single Saturday because of the type of roster that we have right now.
"Going forward when you get into the '14-, '15-, '16-range it becomes more and more difficult. I would never ever count these Penn State kids out or this Penn State program out. We'll show up every Saturday. Our job is very, very challenging, but I think we can be very, very competitive.''
O'Brien said the possibility of players transferring out during the summer was never a factor in how he and his staff approached spring practice and preparation for the 2013 season.
"We don't go to work every day begging our kids to stay here. We don't think about that,'' O'Brien said. "What I've been struck with at Penn State is we have fantastic guys, we have a great locker room.''
O'Brien, who was the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator before taking over at Penn State, was approached by NFL teams looking for a head coach in the offseason, but he says the conversations never got far.
"In any line of work, if you're being recruited for another job, if you're doing right by your family, I don't think it's a bad thing to listen,'' he said. "I love Penn State. I have a connection with the guys I coach.
"I have a ton of respect for the National Football League from my time there. It was an honor to be contacted by some of those teams. But at the end of the day I felt that being here only a year wasn't the right thing to do. I wasn't offered any jobs, but I felt like it was time to say, `I'm here at Penn State and I want to help this program get through a tough time.'''

Debate: Agile Transition Success Rates, Help or Harm?
- Share

Read later
Reading List
Nearly 250 posts have been registered in response to Niraj Khanna's question on the extremeprogramming yahoo list:
I have been searching for the success or failure rate of agile transition attempts, but have come up relatively empty. I would define success as:Much of the early discussion equated to a debate regarding whether a search for such metrics might turn up less than flattering results. This debate was somewhat rooted in a suggestion that the agile community may fear what such results might show, as described by Chris Wheeler:
a) The transition met the goals/improvements the customer or company was looking for. The goals/improvements could be anything from bottom line profit to productivity to fewer defects and shorter project timelines of delivery.
b) If the improvements the agile coach (3rd party or internal) promised to the company came to fruition.
c) If there were any pleasant corollary improvements that weren't expected.
Failure would be simply defined as: The time and money spent on the transition were either not worth the result. In the worst cases, the development organization actually lost quality, speed or even customers due to the transition attempt.
For years, the concept of using metrics to communicate to executives (or to anyone) was resisted by the Agile community ... I don't think we lack the knowledge so much as we are afraid that when we look at the numbers they won't paint the same great story that, well, stories show.Many quickly advanced beyond this suggestion, agreeing that fear of the numbers are not a problem. Helping to put an objective and positive lid on the "are we afraid of these numbers" discussion, Kent Beck said the following:
Absolute openness about the costs, pains, risks, and rewards of XP is the right thing to do. It's a leadership position and it has a chance of working. I'm afraid that continuing to try to tell an attractive story will lead this community to become a cult of irrelevant technical competence.Much of the debate soon then focused on questioning the verifiability of such statistics, many taking the stance that trying to gather statistics such as these might have a low likelihood of being reliable, as described Steve Gordon:
I am against processing those case studies into numbers, because those numbers would only be valid if the case studies we have are a random sample. They are not a random sample, so those numbers do not represent reality whether or not those numbers serve our interests.Max Guernsey added warning that statistics, even if accurate, may be harmful due to likely misinterpretation:
Statistics that come from "historical surveys" are really not very effective tools because the filter of interpretation plays too large a role. They are given the same kind of credibility as real science but they are missing one key element: verifiability. There is always an element of the interpreters fantasy mixed in with the "results"...Chris Wheeler largely leads the counter to these points, asserting that such data could be utilized effectively if used not as a scientific measurement but rather as helpful tool for executives and managers to get a good "gut feel":
None of this says 'Yes, you will be 100% successful, or 75% successful'. It will say '80% of companies in the auto industry spent between $1M and $1.5M to transition. 50% of Agile programs paid all transition costs after 3 years, 40% after 4 years, and 10% after 5 years.. After 5 years, 60% of those companies are still using agile, 20% are using some agile techniques, and 20% have abandoned agile all together.'The thread's original poster, Niraj Khanna, added this to support Wheeler's stance:
Now, imagine I, as a CIO had that information at available to me! I could use that information to support a decision in the context of my own business. Perhaps 3 years is too long to realize returns, or maybe it's about right and I'm willing to live with the risk of going longer than 3 years. Or maybe I'm not willing to live with that risk - perhaps 3 years is way too long to get my 1.5M back, and maybe it's about right. Maybe $1M is about right, but I can't risk seeing my entire investment dissolve after 5 years.
I think that a broad indicator like a success rate would serve some meaningful purpose, both for sales and for those of us involved in transitions. I like to think of it in parallel to what the Dow Jones composite index is to the stock market. The indicator itself doesn't tell you why the market dropped or rose 200 pts. The purpose it serves is merely informing investors how the broader market did that day. It's up to the individual investor to find out why.One subject area nearly all of the thread's contributors seemed to agree on was the value of collecting real stories of success and failure, asserting this information above all else can serve to provide newcomers useful information about what they might expect when deciding to take on a transition to agile. Perhaps most newsworthy out of all of this was the initiation by Kent Beck of a new wiki site dedicated to an effort to collect such stories from the community:
In the spirit of data over speculation and the spirit of crowd-sourcing over heroic action, I've created a wiki to gather information about transitions: http://xpprojects.wikispaces.com/. Please consider taking ten minutes to record your organization's experience there.Ron Jeffries agrees, simply stating:
Given the number of people on this list, we could, should we choose to, quickly have hundreds of stories from which to learn. This learning is a prerequisite to being able to say, twenty years from now, that software development is an exemplar of quality and value.
That would be most excellent.As you might guess, these are only select highlights of the super discussion still occurring in this XP Yahoo list thread. If you're interested in more, check out the continuing thread for yourself here.

So the question is why? What is needed to figure out why? What is needed to figure out how to get better?
Part of that is to know when attempts fail and when they succeed. Hiding from information, even if imperfect is not the path to improvement.

18 U.S. Code Chapter 97 - RAILROAD CARRIERS AND MASS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ON LAND, ON WATER, OR THROUGH THE AIR
This chapter does not include motor busses, interstate trucking facilities or airplanes within the protection of existing law. Motor busses and trucks already carry a huge amount of interstate commerce. It is reasonable to presume that much interstate freight and express will soon be carried by air.
Attention is directed to the consideration of the extension of the laws now applicable only to railroads to these other interstate facilities. 80th Congress House Report No. 304.
2006—Pub. L. 109–177, title I, § 110(b)(1), Mar. 9, 2006, 120 Stat. 208, substituted "RAILROAD CARRIERS AND MASS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ON LAND, ON WATER, OR THROUGH THE AIR" for "RAILROADS" in chapter heading, added item 1992, and struck out former items 1992 "Wrecking trains" and 1993 "Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence against public transportation systems".
2005—Pub. L. 109–59, title III, § 3042(b), Aug. 10, 2005, 119 Stat. 1640, substituted "public transportation" for "mass transportation" in item 1993.

Coke Under Pressure as Sales Abroad Weaken
Company's Old Playbook May Not Work When Americans Are Rethinking Soda Consumption
The pressure is on for Coke.
For more than a century, Coca-Cola Co. believed it could keep growing as long as it could place a Coke within "an arm's reach of desire." But in the U.S., Americans have been drinking less of it for more than a decade.
Now, desire for Coke in its foreign markets is slackening too....

I wouldn't mind having clickable pictures either. And, if there was some way to make it evident, that would be even better (e.g. rollover cursor change) - same goes for static text.

Here's a hack:
Use place = 'overlapping' and combine two LrView elements on top of each other.
A cheesy example:
f:row { place = 'overlapping', f:picture { value = _PLUGIN:resourceId( 'fnord.gif' ), }, f:static_text { -- A block of overlapping transparent text. Adjust for image size. title = "01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789", height_in_lines = -1, width_in_chars = 10, text_color = LrColor(), mouse_down = function(view) LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext('Fnord', function(context) LrDialogs.message( 'Fnord', nil, 'info' ) end) end, },
Works for me. The overlapping text block might be stupid overkill -- I never looked deeper into this.

Oh man, last night I had the awful, terrible idea that you might be able to use this technique to create sort of a fake HTML image map, and have various clickable areas of carefully overlapped invisible (or not, as you would) text that responds in different ways. (Assuming the size of the text title actually means anything. It looks like even a title of "" is clickable across the entire image. Just as well, I suppose.)
5. Re: Responding to clicks on viewFactory:picture()?jarnoh Mar 12, 2012 4:49 AM (in response to clvrmnky)
Thanks for the placement="overlapping" tip, I had forgotten it totally!
Some time ago I was experimenting with a face detection plugin (sometime that merely counts the faces, I'd like to use it to classify photos into human/non-human), but back then I could'nt figure out a way to properly show detected face regions from the plugin, because I wasn't able to get components overlapping. catalog_photo with overlapped group_box and static_text seem to offer just what I want. Actually, with click support, it could probably be used to classify the faces as well...
6. Re: Responding to clicks on viewFactory:picture()?jarnoh Jun 1, 2012 11:36 AM (in response to jarnoh)
I've now created new plugin, which is relying on the overlapping placement of controls.... only to find out that it does not work on Windows!
On Windows, only the first item is visible or clickable, tested on LR4.1.
I'm seriously thinking about going for 100% Mac, but there's still the 50% users who have Windows...

(AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a bill expanding Medicaid to cover low-income Illinois adults who don't have children at home — a big part of President Barack Obama's health care law.
Quinn made it official Monday at the University of Illinois at Chicago's medical facilities.
The Chicago Democrat is a longtime supporter and says it'll give many Illinoisans access to quality health care. Quinn says he wanted to sign it into law before Obama visits his home state this week.
Up to half a million uninsured will be newly eligible for coverage. The federal government will foot the bill the first three years.
Under the plan, up to 342,000 residents are expected to enroll by 2017.
Some Republicans say they're worried about sustainability.

Thurston keeps Warriors at bay
The Warriors stayed within reach of the Cowboys at Mt Smart until the last ten minutes this afternoon, three late tries blowing the score out to 34-12.
Johnathan Thurston once more demonstrated why he is frequently labeled the world's best player, leading the stats in both attack and defence and orchestrating the Cowboys' 5th win this season.
The Warriors, sporting freshly shaved heads in honour of Jesse Royal's son, opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a penalty goal. Four minutes later O'Donnell was in for the day's first try and from that point on the lead stayed with the Cowboys.
Thurston struggled with his kicking game at times in the first half, having to contend with a stiff Auckland breeze. He had no problems running however and side-stepped his way to a try in the 30th minute. The score remained 10-2 going into halftime.
During the break the rain appeared at Mt Smart and it stayed for the rest of the match. This was expected to work in the Warriors' favour and indeed it appeared to be when Nathan Fien closed the gap to two points in the 46th minute. Five minutes later though it was 16-8, Tonga picking up a fortuitous try from a rebounded Thurston grubber.
Referee Cummins followed through on his threats to sin-bin, sending James Tamou away for not getting out of the ruck fast enough in the 57th minute. The Warriors only took four points from their one man advantage however, Kemp making it 16-12 going into the last quarter.
The Cowboys confidence jumped and they cemented their victory with three tries in five minutes. Graham, Farrar and Bowen added their names to the scorecard and Thurston, showing off, converted all three to make the final score 34-12.
Next week the Warriors head to Canberra while the Cowboys will host the Knights on Monday night.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Several other species of butterflyfishes (family Chaetodontidae) have elongate jaws and feed on a wide range of predominantly attached, benthic invertebrate prey and some free-living, mobile prey. It is thought that the ''manipulation'' method is used by butterflyfishes to grip and remove pieces from polychaetes, nemerteans, corals, ascidians, echinoids, hydroids, and other attached prey. Suction feeding is thought to be used when preying upon mobile prey such as calanoid copepods, amphipods, and crab larvae, which are ingested intact. In contrast to other chaetodontids studied, detailed observations in Hawaii and Moorea suggest that the Longnose Butterflyfish, the longest-jawed of the butterflyfishes, is a specialized predator of mobile decapod shrimps, particularly the elusive caridians that live within coral reefs. All five butterfly species studied by Ferry-Graham et al. (2001a) utilized a combination of suction and ram when feeding on brine shrimp in the lab, but Longnose Butterflyfish exhibited a ram contribution to the strike that was more than twice that seen in any of the other species, permitting this species to initiate strikes from the greatest initial predator-prey distance. Longnose Buterflyfish are known to possess a major structural novelty in the feeding mechanism that permits anterior movement of the entire jaw apparatus. The ability to feed successfully on elusive prey appears to be related to exceptional jaw protrusion, resulting in greater use of ram during prey capture. This ability to protrude long, slender jaws toward the prey may allow a Longnose Butterflyfish to move its jaws without detection close enough to a potential prey item to permit the effective use of suction. Interestingly, of 18 butterflyfish species examined in Moorea (French Polynesia), the congeners F. flavissimus and F. longirostris exhibited the broadest and narrowest diets, respectively. (Ferry-Graham et al. 2001a,b and references therein)
Boyle and Tricas (2011) studied the kinematics of sound production in both Forcipiger species and suggested that correlations within both species between aspects of acoustic signals and size and condition variables that may be related to resource holding potential during social encounters could allow Forcipiger sounds to function as "honest" social signals.

The MQCreateAsyncMessageConsumer function creates an asynchronous message consumer for the specified destination.
MQCreateAsyncMessageConsumer (const MQSessionHandle sessionHandle, const MQDestinationHandle destinationHandle, ConstMQString messageSelector, MQBool noLocal, MQMessageListenerFunc messageListener, void * listenerCallBackData, MQConsumerHandle * consumerHandle);
MQStatus. See the MQStatusIsError() function for more information.
The handle to the session to which this consumer belongs. This handle is created and passed back to you by the MQCreateSession function. For this asynchronous consumer, the session must have been created with the MQ_SESSION_ASYNC_RECEIVE receive mode.
A handle to the destination on which the consumer receives messages. This handle remains valid after the call returns.
An expression (based on SQL92 conditional syntax) that specifies the criteria upon which incoming messages should be selected for this consumer.
Specify a NULL or empty string to indicate that there is no message selector for this consumer. In this case, all messages will be delivered.
The library makes a copy of the messageSelector string.
For more information about SQL, see X/Open CAE Specification Data Management: Structured Query Language (SQL), Version 2, ISBN 1-85912-151-9, March 1966.
Specify MQ_TRUE to inhibit delivery of messages published by this consumer's own connection.
The setting of this parameter applies only to topic destinations. It is ignored for queues.
The name of an MQMessageListenerFunc type callback function that is to be called when this consumer receives a message for the specified destination.
A pointer to data that you want passed to your message listener function when it is called by the library.
Output parameter for the handle that references the consumer for the specified destination.
In the case of an asynchronous consumer, you should not start a connection before calling the MQCreateAsyncDurableMessageConsumer function. (You should create a connection, create a session, set up your asynchronous consumers, create the consumer, and then start the connection.) Attempting to create a consumer when the connection is not stopped will result in an MQ_CONCURRENT_ACCESS error.
The MQCreateAsyncMessageConsumer function creates an asynchronous message consumer for the specified destination. You can define parameters to filter messages and to inhibit the delivery of messages you published to your own connection. Note that the session's receive mode (sync/async) must be appropriate for the kind of consumer you are creating (sync/async). To create a synchronous message consumer for a destination, use the MQCreateMessageConsumer() function.
If this consumer is on a topic destination, it will only receive messages produced while the consumer is active. If you are interested in receiving messages published while this consumer is not active, you should create a consumer using the MQCreateAsyncDurableMessageConsumer function instead.
A session's consumers are automatically closed when you close the session or connection to which they belong. To close a consumer without closing the session or connection to which it belongs, use the MQCloseMessageConsumer function.

A lawyer fighting for Tim Cook and his team in the Apple/Samsung patent infringement court case must have felt somewhat taken aback on Thursday when presiding judge Lucy Koh said he must be "smoking crack" if he thought he was going to get his way with a request to call a large number of witnesses – 22 in all.
The case, which is coming to a close after three weeks of arguments and testimony, involves accusations by both companies of patent infringement regarding a number of mobile products.
Apple claims Samsung has ripped off the design of its iPhone and iPad devices in the building of some of its Galaxy range of mobile devices. Samsung, meanwhile, accuses Apple of patent infringement in connection with a number of its patents, including ones linked to the way smartphones deal with email attachments, photos and the playing of music files.
Crack smoking
In a San Jose federal court on Thursday, Apple attorney William Lee submitted a 75-page document to Koh containing a list of 22 witnesses that Apple's legal team said it might want to call. Judging by Koh's brusque response, however, it seems like it was 22 too many.
The Verge reported that Judge Koh "laid into Apple," asking why it would hand her such a large document "when unless you're smoking crack you know these witnesses aren't going to be called!"
Before Lee did anything, he clarified one thing, saying, "I'm not smoking crack. I can promise you that." After being reminded by Koh that Apple has only four hours left to finish its case, the company's legal team agreed to cut down the number of witnesses.
Lawyers for the iPhone maker had another run-in with Judge Koh earlier in the week when Apple said a witness it wanted to call wasn't available till Monday due to family matters. Koh was having none of it, telling them that if she couldn't make it this week, then forget it.
Yes, it's more than a bit obvious that Koh is keen to stick rigidly to the time plan for this case. In fact, she'd prefer that the two companies reach an out-of-court settlement rather than leaving it to a jury to decide, telling both sides on Wednesday, "It's time for peace," and urging them to get together to hammer out a deal. But she must be smoking wacky backy if she really thinks something like that is going to happen.

Problems in the forests of New Guinea
Nothing to worry about?
But the picture is misleading. The destructive environmental forces we observe in so many other tropical forests all over the world are already at work here. Deforestation, pollution, overhunting… these issues are increasingly common in several places in New Guinea.
The race for resources extractionThe development of some countries often takes place at the expense of others. In New Guinea, many forests are being looted illegally to cover massive demands from the booming economies of China and other countries.
Traders and loggers use "gloves off" methodologies to access timber at all costs. Illegal logging involving intimidation and corruption is widespread, which can cause resentment, strife, and encourages further bad governance.
In addition, forests are being converted to large-scale commercial plantations, often using unsustainable practices.
Riches above and below the groundBut it's not just about what is above the ground that is being exploited. Extractive industries also focus on New Guinea's significant oil, gas, and mineral reserves. The track-record of these industries show they can cause severe environmental damage, particularly in fragile wetlands and watersheds.
Targeted wildlifeHunting, by traditional methods and more recently with firearms, is a major concern for several species. The illegal wildlife trade, a component of the black market in Papua Province in Indonesia, threatens bird populations such as lories and cockatoos.
Some other species at risk don't have legs to escape. For example, the trees that form the precious agarwood, a fragrant substance found inside them, are at risk of being lost because of intensive trade.

I continue to listen to a lecture series on the intersection of Greek and Roman culture. In today's lecture Professor Garland mentioned that the fifth king of Rome was really not Etruscan but the son of a Corinthian Greek named Demaratus who settled in Tarquinia to teach the Etruscans how to mold clay – especially into roof tiles. Apparently, roof tiles from Etruria have even been found in excavations of Corinth and scholars think the clay beds recently uncovered in Rome were probably the source of the raw material used in their construction. I found this information really interesting.
In his evaluation of classes of early Etruscan pottery, Alan Blakeway, in his article "Demaratus": A Study in Some Aspects of the Earliest Hellenisation of Latium and Etruria" in The Journal of Roman Studies, observes:
"This class, implying as it does the presence of Greek craftsmen in
Etruria at least as early as the ninth century B.c., is by far the most important as evidence of the character of this early Hellenisation. It is, of course, impossible to estimate exactly the contribution of these Greek [craftsmen] the development of Etruscan civilisation in this and in the following period, but it must be admitted that they provide a more satisfactory explanation of the Hellenisation of Etruscan Art in the ninth, eighth and seventh centuries than the theory of native genius working on imported models. In fact, it is probably they who are largely responsible for the great capacity for the imitation of Greek products shown by some of the ninth- and eighth-century potters of Etruria, as well as for the efflorescence of Graeco-Etruscan art in the seventh century. For Etruscan art (unlike that of most other Barbarian peoples) thus not only enjoyed the benefit of Greek influence both early in its own history and at a time when Greek art was not so far advanced beyond that of Etruria as to sterilise the native genius, but also learnt its lessons, in part at least, from Greek craftsmen working in Etruria, and not merely from the chance models imported by
Greek commerce."
He goes on to say:
"So far as our archaeological evidence goes, this earliest Greek influence seems to have been almost as strong as the Oriental in its effects on Etruscan art. If indeed there was any large-scale Oriental immigration in this and the preceding period, the art brought with it had no overwhelming or immediate effect on that of Etruria. With the major historical problem of the origin of the Etruscans I am not concerned; but it is necessary for me to point out that the theory of late Lydian immigration has done much to obscure (if not to conceal)the important early Greek contribution to Etruscan civilisation. Greek influence on Etruria is, in fact, not confined to the seventh century and later: it begins almost as soon as the civilisation of Etruria (on one theory) passed from the Villanovan to the Etruscan culture, that is to say, it almost coincides in time with the first appearance of non-Italian imports and influence."

Tennessee Tech and Murray State nearly went shot-for-shot in the first period, but it was Hargreaves who netted two goals on sophomore Megan Polk, one in the 11th minute and one at the 13 minute mark to give the Racers an early 2-0 lead.
Sarah Gawthrop lead the way for the Golden Eagles, taking four of Tech's 10 total shots, while Jen Hoffman contributed two.
Polk notched two saves in the first half after facing seven shots before being relieved by freshman Becca Toler in the second half. Toler faced nine shots by Murray, saving seven. Hargreaves logged her third goal in the 70th minute of the contest.
"We've had trouble all season controlling the pace of the game from the start," said first-year coach Daniel Brizard. "The team can't win games without learning to lock into their positions for a full 90 minutes."
The Golden Eagles will head to Martin on Sunday for a 2 p.m. match-up against the Skyhawks with a 2-10 record, 0-3 in the OVC.

Remedy Informatics to Provide New Technology Platform for the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI)
Remedy's registry technology will enable real-time aggregation of data and analytics from cancer centers across the country
Jan 23, 2014, 04:22 ET
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Remedy Informatics, Inc., the leading provider of registry-based clinical informatics software for healthcare delivery and life sciences research, announced that it has been selected by the American Society of Clinical Oncology® (ASCO®) to provide the technology platform for the nationwide Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130213/SF59513LOGO)
ASCO is upgrading its current QOPI registry technology to meet evolving data collection, analysis and management needs. The goal is to implement a more flexible system that will allow ASCO staff to update the system and conduct routine changes as needed. With the new registry system in place, participating practices will be able to report data from a variety of sources, including direct entry and EHRs, into the QOPI system and receive feedback on the program's quality measures and their progress in improving cancer care. The goal of the QOPI program is to create a culture of self-examination and improvement among oncology providers, and feasible, actionable quality reporting remains the core focus of the program.
"We have spent nearly a decade developing our registry technology and I am thrilled to see an organization like ASCO select our Mosaic™ Platform for the QOPI program," said Gary Kennedy, Founder & CEO of Remedy Informatics. "The goals of the QOPI program align perfectly with our corporate mission to tangibly, measurably and permanently improve healthcare outcomes around the world. I am confident that oncologists and their patients will benefit from a program built on the advanced pattern recognition software supplied by our technology."
Remedy's registries are built on its flagship Mosaic Platform, which offers highly configurable, user-friendly clinical informatics solutions that are designed to evolve with an organization's changing needs over time without intervention from IT departments or outside technology consultants. The Mosaic Platform will enable the QOPI program to ease the administrative requirements of data submission and generate quality reports more frequently for participating practices. Advanced platform-based pattern recognition and data visualization tools will power data analysis designed to understand and improve quality of cancer care.
"As we embark on the next phase of evolution in our QOPI program, it was critical to offer our members flexibility, efficiency, and the latest in data analytics tools," said Allen S. Lichter, MD, FASCO, CEO of ASCO. "Remedy Informatics' system met these criteria, providing the technology and expertise to help us bring this respected program to the next level."
ASCO initiated its QOPI program in 2002 with the goal of promoting excellence in cancer care by helping practices create a culture of self-examination and improvement. The process employed for improving cancer care includes measurement, feedback and improvement tools for hematology-oncology practices. Data submitted by participating practices is aggregated into a central database and analyzed according to detailed specifications for more than 170 ASCO quality measures. QOPI measures are created and maintained by oncologists, researchers and other oncology experts appointed to ASCO committees. Currently, nearly 300 practices submit their data each reporting round to QOPI for analysis and feedback.

The workshop for precision mechanics and optics opened by Carl Zeiss in Jena in 1846 already enjoyed a sustained period of prosperity during its early years. On the basis of Ernst Abbe's scientific achievements, a global player in the field of optics gradually evolved. This period of success continued for a century. The enforced partition of Germany as a result of political circumstances after World War II led to two Carl Zeiss companies.
With the political change in the former East Germany in 1989/90, the two competitors reunited to form a single company in 1990. Reunited, Carl Zeiss became stronger than ever before in its eventful history. Today, the company looks to the future with optimism and anticipation.
On 17 November 1846, the 30-year old mechanic Carl Zeiss opened a workshop and a small store in Jena's Neugasse No. 7. In just a few months, Zeiss, who not only had a solid theoretical basis and good practical experience, but was also well acquainted with scientists and mathematicians at the University of Jena, had already found clientele for whom he repaired scientific apparatuses and instruments or produced them according to the customer's specifications. In addition, he offered spectacles, chemical scales, drawing apparatuses, telescopes, etc.
In 1847, his business success encouraged Zeiss to hire an assistant and an apprentice, and to rent two workrooms in Wagnergasse No. 34. In the summer of 1847, following the advice of his teacher, the botanist Mattias Jacob Schleiden, Zeiss devoted his attention to building a simple microscope. In September 1847, he produced the first loupe microscopes.
At the beginning of the 1850's, there was an increase in the demand for observation instruments from the Zeiss workshops, which now enjoyed a good reputation among microscopists due to their meticulous workmanship. At the time, the level of interest shown by scientists and medical professionals in compound microscopes was growing because these were the only instruments that provided the higher magnifications they wanted.
The time-consuming trial-and-error method required to build optical systems initially kept Zeiss from building such instruments, particularly as he was convinced that there must be some scientific way of determining the individual elements of the optical systems. However, the competition forced him to build compound microscopes in the traditional way from 1857 onwards.
Carl Zeiss is a company with a long tradition that was founded by Carl Zeiss in 1846 in Jena as a precision mechanics and optics workshop.
From 1872, microscopes made in Jena were built on the basis of scientific calculations and therefore displayed considerably improved optical properties. This technological lead, which earned the company global recognition, is attributable to the physicist and mathematician Ernst Abbe, who became a dormant partner in the optical workshop in 1876.
Abbe's theory of image formation in the microscope and the "sine condition" that bears his name form the basis of all high-performance optics.

There probably weren't many of us who managed to catch the 11:30 p.m. stream of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil's premiere episode last night, but needless to say, it was chock-full of exciting finishes and memorable one-liners from coaches Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort, the best of which we've managed to snag a screenshot of above. Featuring a mix of 32 middleweights and featherweights vying for a spot in the illustrious, adobe constructed house, TUF: Brazil is looking like it could possibly surpass TUF 15 in terms of pure excitement, even without the help of widow's peak and butt chin jokes.

After President Barack Obama signed the Budget Control Act Aug. 2 to raise the nation's debt ceiling, a collective sigh of tentative relief was immediately followed by plenty of speculation and analysis of what the country should do next. Although much of the discussion relied on the opinions of economists and politicians, religious groups bypassed the usual pundits to consider how Jesus would react to the country's financial fiasco.
And apparently he could have differing takes on ways to solve the debt crisis, according to two different Christian groups.
The Circle of Protection, a faith-based group that includes the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has been urging Washington's lawmakers not to cut funding for programs for the poor and couches its members' concerns with the question: "What would Jesus cut?"
Another faith-based group, Christians for a Sustainable Economy, has argued that federally run programs for the poor do not always provide the best solution and are urging the government to put more focus on financial stewardship and economic responsibility. In a letter to President Obama, the group said the Circle of Protection doesn't "speak for all Christians." Its members raised their own question about the most Christian way to respond to the debt crisis, asking: "Whom would Jesus indebt?" and pointing out the "the good Samaritan did not use a government credit card."
The arguments of both groups have merit, according to Patrick Clark, an assistant professor of theology at Jesuit-run University of Scranton, Pa. Clark posted an Aug. 8 blog entry on the opposing Christian responses to the economic crisis on http://catholicmoraltheology.com -- a site which posts comments from North American Catholic moral theologians.
He called the Circle of Protection's approach "more urgent," though, saying public spending on poverty and global health programs is "a sliver of discretionary spending and essentially irrelevant to America's long-term debt." Clark also noted that an argument in the budget talks about "shared sacrifice" focuses mainly on cuts in discretionary spending and "requires disproportionate sacrifices of the most vulnerable."
"If religious people do not make this case," he said, "it is difficult to determine what distinctive message they offer."
John Carr, executive director of the U.S. bishops' Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, has been keen on making the case for those in need and has been disappointed with the government's recent solutions. In an Aug. 3 statement, the day after the president signed the debt deal, he said the budget debate "demonstrated the partisan, ideological and dysfunctional polarization that dominates Washington."
"It wasn't pretty, and it isn't over. While the crisis of default was averted, for advocates of poor and vulnerable people, this debate was disappointing, ominous, and just a beginning," he said.
The unfinished business of trimming the U.S. budget now falls on the shoulders of a super committee -- a bipartisan congressional group of 12 -- whose number alone has an apostolic ring to it. Members of the committee, whose names were finalized Aug. 11, have until Nov. 23 to recommend $1.5 trillion in deficit reductions during the next 10 years.
They can recommend further cuts in discretionary spending, changes to entitlement programs, including Medicare and Social Security or increases in tax revenue. The ability to compromise and work together will certainly be key, especially since Congress' inability to do so influenced Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating Aug. 5.
The credit ratings agency faulted the charged debt debate and inability of politicians to compromise as factors in their decision to downgrade. "The political brinkmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America's governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable," it said in a statement.
And while the budget details are fine-tuned during the next few months, interested groups will continue to weigh in on the issue.
Sister Simone Campbell, a Sister of Social Service who is executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby, said that in the upcoming weeks and months the interfaith community will be "both vigilant and active" in reminding Congress about the needs of the poor.
"We will not be silent," she said.
Carr likewise said lobbying efforts will continue through letters, visits, and action alerts stressing a "moral responsibility to put the nation's fiscal house in order, to reduce unsustainable deficits and future debt, and to do so in ways that protect human life and dignity, especially among 'the least of these.'"

Toyota Motor Corp. announced two safety recalls for its flagship Prius hybrid.
The automaker said the steering intermediate extension shafts in 670,000 Prius cars sold in the U.S. need to be inspected and in some cases replaced. And 350,000 of those hybrids also will have to have their electric water pumps replaced.
Toyota will recall another 2 million vehicles worldwide, including the Prius and the Corolla, to fix the same problems.
The gas-sipping Prius has become an important vehicle for Toyota, giving the company a reputation for producing fuel-efficient, green vehicles and quietly becoming one of the best sellers in the automaker's lineup.
Toyota is on track to sell more than 250,000 Prius hatchbacks and station wagons this year, which will make it one of the best selling passenger cars in the U.S. So far this year, the Prius has been the best selling car in California. Toyota sells more hybrids in the U.S. than all other automakers combined.

Knewt at Beep Beep Gallery
Knewt makes an appearance at the opening of Beep Beep gallery in Midtown.
I went to the Beep Beep gallery opening and displayed some robots and cards to promote our club. It's a small space with a cool sign off Ponce between downtown and Virginia Highlands. There were easily 100 people there. There was food and drinks and music. It was quite a party. There were about 10 to 15 artists represented. Knewt and "entourage" sat on a table with a stack of AHRC cards. The party was still going on at 11:30 when I packed them up.
keith, thanks for the forward and the cool email. people really liked your robots alot. i'm glad you had a good time.

Mumbai: teen forced to drink alcohol, raped by four
A 16-year-old girl from Goregaon (East) was allegedly raped by four men after being forced to drink alcohol, on Friday. Two others have been booked for their roles as accomplices.mumbai Updated: Nov 04, 2013 19:07 IST
A 16-year-old girl from Mumbai's Goregaon (East) was allegedly raped by four men after being forced to drink alcohol, on Friday. Two others have been booked for their roles as accomplices.
All the accused, who are in their 20s, have criminal cases against them, the police said.
The survivor, a Class 8 dropout, had known the accused for two years and considered them friends, said Dighambar Dhasine, sub- inspector at Dindoshi police station. "The accused are from the girl's neighbourhood. We are looking for them," he said.
The incident took place between 9pm and 11pm on Friday. "Two of the accused called the girl on her phone and asked her to come to the Mhada bridge to celebrate Diwali. She said they forced her to drink beer and four of them raped her," said a police official.
After the rape, the accused went to a nearby restaurant. While they were eating, the survivor ran away, but kept quiet about the incident.
On Sunday, she broke down and told her family, after which her brother took her to Dindoshi police station where a case of gangrape was registered. Her medical report will be ready on Monday.
The girl's father died two years ago after which she dropped out of school. A few months later, her mother abandoned her. Since then she has been staying with her brother.

Da Morto A Orto: Recycled Furniture Gardens
There's a mad scientist quality to these planters that I simply adore. Fashioned from recycled bits of furniture, the Da Morto A Orto planter exhibition by designers Peter Bottazzi and Denish Bonapace debuted at Milan 2011.
The collection features pieces intended to be used as indoor kitchen gardens and for classroom horticulture study. I love how the designers have taken random pieces and mixed them together to create furniture hybrids. And the new plant life springing from these dilapidated objects is so alluring... they make me want to try making one myself!
What do you think? Do these pieces inspire you to make a mish-mash planter of your own?

How to Mix and Match Patterns in the Bedroom
Decorating your bedroom with an eclectic array of stripes, florals, and prints creates a well-loved, lived-in space. Of course, to get the right combination of prints and patterns can be a bit of a challenge.
Here are some tips to help you create the look successfully:
1. Think Color:
One way to organize a diverse arrangement of pattern is to think about color — it is great way to help unify a space. First, choose a color palette that you want to work around. Colour Lovers is a great tool if you are looking for help choosing a color scheme.
2. Think Key Object:
Another way to create harmony using different patterns in your bedroom is to base the room around one object (pillow, lamp shade, duvet, quilt, vase, etc) that you love. Use the colors and designs from that object to help determine what other elements will work well together.
3.Think Variation:
If you decide to create a room around your favorite ditsy floral-printed pillow, think about balancing the tiny print with something bold, like a wide striped throw at the end of the bed and maybe a solid textured duvet to ground the different prints. Using a variety of prints that are different sizes, shapes and styles but fall within your color palette will help to create a cohesive story.

I do love a good Benefit set. They're so cute - always packaged beautifully, always containing mini products which I actually stand a chance of using up before they're too old to use. She's So Jetset, one of Benefit's Christmas palettes, is no exception - I particularly love the little airplanes flying around the edges of the palette.
Inside, you get a mini POREfessional primer, four eyeshadows, a sponge applicator (ick), two shades of blush, a mini blush brush, a mini lipgloss and a mini They're Real mascara. Pretty much everything you could need for a pared down travel makeup kit - add your favourite foundation and brow product, and you're good to go.
Champagne Please, Gold Card, Pretty in Mink, Elegant Espresso - natural light
Champagne Please, Gold Card, Pretty in Mink, Elegant Espresso - direct sunlight
A look using all the products in the box. POREfessional is an exceptionally silky primer and helps foundation glide on for a really smooth finish. They're Real is a great mascara - I'm on my third tube now, and it's definitely in my top two mascaras of all time (the other one is Lancome Hypnose Drama, by the way).
The eyeshadows are really pretty - they have a super high shine, shimmery finish, and they make for a perfectly pretty neutral look, with the dark brown shade being perfect for smoking it up a little.
I'm not too sure about the blush or the lipgloss - the blush is very pale, and takes some layering up before you can see it on the skin. I wonder how noticeable it would be on darker skintones. Similarly, the lipgloss is really pale and milky, and applied heavily is way too light for my liking. Applied lightly though, it's a pretty pale pink.
Overall this is a great little set - I do wish that the blush were a little deeper in colour, and that the lipgloss wasn't quite so light. Still, for £29.50, you get a lovely set of eyeshadows, and some miniatures of some of Benefit's most popular products - making this palette a great value, travel appropriate little kit.
Find it at the Benefit website, or at Boots.
