Colombia is Second in World for Land Mine Victims, Behind Afghanistan
Six children are the latest victims of Colombia's ongoing land mine crisis, as a 3-year old was killed and five others wounded following an explosion in the central-western department of Tolima.
This recent incident has helped the Andean nation reach what Colombian Vice President Angelino Garzón called the "dishonorable figure" of 10,001 landmine victims, making it the second most affected country in the world in terms of land mine incidents after war-torn Afghanistan.
"Girls, boys, teens, women, indigenous, farmers, workers, soldiers, police and heroes of the country have sacrificed their lives for the freedom and security of the Colombians. We want a Colombia without more victims of anti-personnel mines and free of these artifacts," Garzón said, according to Colombia's Radio Caracol.
The main culprit of the land mines is the leftist rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), whose half-century campaign against the Colombian government has left thousands of mines scattered across the country. As the group became involved in the country's cocaine trade, the FARC used mines to protect their bases, transit routes and in coca fields to prevent eradication.
But as they moved to different locations, the land mines, which are difficult to detect underground and detonate as they are stepped on, were left behind.
The Colombian government has sent teams to remote regions to eradicate the crops and mines with the help of metal detectors and dogs, but this tactic has caused its fair share of accidents and deaths.
"They send [the eradicators] out with an armed forces escort, which uses metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs to try to disarm the mines," said Alvaro Jimenez, director of the Colombian Campaign Against Landmines, a victims advocacy group, according to the Los Angeles Times. "But obviously something is not working as well as it should."
Colombia is one of the 160 countries in the United Nations to have signed the Ottawa Treaty, which aims to eliminate land mines around the world. States who signed the treaty must cease production of mines and destroy its stockpile of anti-personnel mines within four years.
There are still 34 UN nations , including the U.S., China and Cuba, who have not signed the treaty.
Despite Colombia's efforts to put a stop to land mine violence, Colombia's Presidential Program for Comprehensive Action against Antipersonnel Mines (PAICMA) revealed that 6,222 military and 3,779 civilians, including 968 who have children and young people, were killed or injured by these devices.
So far this year, 45 minors have been victims of land mines, 11 of whom have died. In 2011, there were a total of 44 incidents involving minors and land mines in Colombia.
The Colombian department of Antioquia is one of the most affected regions when it comes to land mines.
The home of Colombia's second largest city, Medellín, Antioquia has in recent years seen a time of relative peace as FARC guerrillas have moved out of the region and violence related to drug trafficking has dipped.
Despite this, land mines still pose a problem to residents of the department as Antioquia registered 2,228 victims of the mines, according to the PAICMA data.
The department, which is working to eradicate the mines, has responded with programs to teach people how to avoid land mines and ways to quickly treat victims.
"Land mines are spread out mainly over rural areas," said Julián Rendón Cardona, the department's secretary of government. "But also in places close to schools."

Inspiration: Marble Merchants
My sister and I had an amazing collection of marbles when we were younger. We spent entire days categorising them, cleaning them and just generally marvelling at them, but you don't see them around much any more. Thankfully the glass artists behind Marble Merchants were similarly enchanted and they're bringing them back.
Danielle Rickaby and Jaan Poldaas forge every marble by hand from the glass furnaces in Adelaide, Australia's JamFactory studios. They combine traditional techniques with contemporary materials to create modern day collectables that appeal to enthusiasts of all ages.
They describe their inspiration as "an expanding idea that revolves around the magical nostalgia of marbles, and a desire to create a cool, contemporary version of these iconic items."

Jeff, Who Lives at Home (US - BD RA)
Jonathan watches the latest Duplass brother's film to hit Blu-ray..
Starring Jason Segel ( Forgetting Sarah Marshall, TV's How I Met Your Mother), Ed Helms ( Hangover I & II) and Academy Award-winner Susan Sarandon, Jeff, Who Lives at Home is the story of one man's hilarious search for the meaning of life. As a slacker Jeff stumbles toward enlightenment, he uncovers answers to his nagging family's problems. Jeff has no idea where he's going but when he finally gets there, he might just find out what it's all about. (From the Paramount synopsis)
I'm not really a big fan of the mumblecore movement. In theory, the idea of using amateur actors and naturalistic dialogue sounds like a great challenge for filmmakers. There's an ideal there, like the Dogme 95 pact, but the majority of mumblecore films I've seen have failed to use the genre's trademarks to enhance their stories and characters in any way. The Duplass brothers have been the sole exception, using the style in a more playful way and actually trying to tell stories. The Puffy Chair felt fresh and exciting for independent cinema, and Baghead managed to play with horror genre conventions and be pretty funny on a shoestring budget. Cyrus saw them working with more of a budget and some bigger stars, but they kept the spirit of their earlier efforts intact. I put off seeing Jeff, Who Lives at Home in theaters, despite being a fan of the directors. I'm not sure why I did, but I'm pretty sure I was just tired of man-child movies. Fortunately, despite the title, this movie doesn't focus on arrested development much at all.
The film starts off with an impassioned monologue from Jeff about the movie Signs. It quickly becomes evident that Jeff lives his life by the message of that movie: all this randomness and chaos is leading to a perfect moment where everything will make sense. He's so sincere that his belief in cosmic importance is almost contagious. He receives a phone call from an aggressive man looking for someone named Kevin. Jeff tells him Kevin doesn't live there, and the psychotic man on the phone goes off on him, ending the call with "Remember the name Kevin". Such simple words might as well be a mission from God when landing on Jeff's ears. Jeff's mom gives him one task to carry out while she is at work for the day: go buy some wood glue and fix the shutter. It's enough to get Jeff out of the house, but when he spots a man on the bus with "Kevin" on the back of his jersey, he trails him and begins a wild goose chase in search of meaning.
Jeff's story isn't the only one in this movie. His brother, played by Ed Helms, is in a struggling marriage. His wife is working to save money, but he buys a Porsche without consulting her which causes her to leave. He and Jeff's stories intersect throughout the one day that the movie takes place during, and they track down his wife as she seemingly makes plans to cheat on him. Susan Sarandon has a subplot of her own in her work office. In a sea of monotonous cubicles, she begins receiving messages on her computer from a secret admirer in her office. The prospective romance at this stage in her life is exhilarating to her. These three plots all take place in the same family of people who are essentially good, but have lost their way in life after a tragic family event. It's obvious the Duplass brothers have compassion for their characters, no matter how naive and stupid their decisions get, and it rubs off on the viewer. It all culminates in a climactic scene that I thought worked brilliantly to tie everything together. Some will call it too convenient or contrived, but I think they'd be missing the point.
The ingredients of Jeff, Who Lives at Home are all familiar. We've seen stuff like it before. But presented on a small, indie scale, it makes the ideas feel bigger and more revelatory than they would in glossy blockbusters. Take Primer for example. While spiritually a very different film, both film's sense of importance are heightened by their modest, low-budget approach. The Duplass brother's are very capable directors, and they mix drama and humour as gracefully as any other writers working today. Though the movie is often pretty serious, it is at times achingly funny. If I had one thing to complain about it's the Duplass brother's use of zooms. It's something they did with Cyrus, where the camera just zooms in and out for no apparent reason, without accentuating any lines from the script or anything happening in the scene. It isn't done to a nauseating extent, but it can be very distracting.
This is a really strong 1080p video transfer from Paramount. The digital source from the Red One MX camera made it to the Blu-ray format without any hiccups. Black levels are reference level. Colour is fantastic but can occasionally look a bit faded, as the movie has that warm comedy hue that drowns out some of the richer shades. That's entirely a creative choice though. Detail is strong, but thanks to soft lighting the image can look soft from time to time, but I like the smooth digital look of it. It works. Even at those times I never noticed any compression artefacts or faults on the part of the Blu-ray. This isn't a movie with a ton of visual flair or a range of colors that will show off your set, but the integrity of the director's work is completely upheld by the Blu-ray presentation.
This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is surprisingly immersing given the indie presentation of the film. There's plenty of ambient noise in the surround channels, like passing traffic or the chatter of a restaurant. The original music from Michael Andrews ( Donnie Darko, Bridesmaids) is playful, filled with what sounds like xylophones and keyboard playing that dynamically fill the entire sound space; even the rear channels from time to time. The LFE channel isn't used much, but there are a couple sequences where it makes itself known. Some of the music is more ambient in quieter parts of the film, and the sound permeates throughout the room nicely. No need to worry about the "mumble" part of mumblecore. The dialogue, even the most soft-spoken words, is clear and easy to interpret. This is an all around impressive audio presentation that is faithful to the material and subtly effective.
Just a code for an Ultraviolet digital copy. There are no extras on the disc.
I often watch movies that require me to suspend my disbelief, but it is rare to come across a film that makes me want to. Jeff, Who Lives at Home isn't completely original or especially clever, but the lovingly written characters and the trio of great leading performances charmed me to an extent where I could overlook its small flaws with ease. Paramount disappoints in the extras department, but the AV presentation of the film is practically flawless.

Download GHCN-Monthly
The Global Historical Climatology Network-Monthly (GHCN-M) temperature dataset was first developed in the early 1990s (Vose et al. 1992). A second version was released in 1997 following extensive efforts to increase the number of stations and length of the data record (Peterson and Vose, 1997). Methods for removing inhomogeneities from the data record associated with non-climatic influences such as changes in instrumentation, station environment, and observing practices that occur over time were also included in the version 2 release (Peterson and Easterling, 1994; Easterling and Peterson 1995). Since that time efforts have focused on continued improvements in dataset development methods including new quality control processes and advanced techniques for removing data inhomogeneities (Menne and Williams, 2009). Effective May 2, 2011, the Global Historical Climatology Network-Monthly (GHCN-M) version 3 dataset of monthly mean temperature has replaced GHCN-M version 2 as the dataset for operational climate monitoring activities. The dataset is available at ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/v3/. The formal designation is ghcnm.x.y.z[optionally -betan].yyyymmdd
- x = major upgrades of unspecified nature to either qc, adjustments, or station configurations and accompanied by a peer reviewed manuscript
- y = substantial modifications to the dataset, including a new set of stations or additional quality control algorithms. Accompanied by a technical note.
- z = minor revisions to both data and processing software that are tracked in "status and errata".
- yyyy = year in which the update to the dataset occurred.
- mm = month in which the update to the dataset occurred.
- dd = day in which the update to the dataset occurred.
Each evening as part of the GHCN-M update process, the output files will be labeled with the current version number and date and time stamped to indicate when the update occurred. For example, the filename for the dataset produced on April 28, 2011 will include the string "v18.104.22.16810428" to indicate the data were developed using version 3.0.0 station data and quality control and homogeneity adjustment methods. This notation also will indicate the most recent update occurred in the year 2011, in the 4th month (April) and the 28th day of the month. The data will be placed on line at the conclusion of each update process and available via the link noted above. This versioning format facilitates documentation and communication of updates and modifications that occur as a normal part of the life of this climate dataset.
Information on Version 3 quality control and homogeneity adjustment processes is also available.

Quality Assurance
With the development of GHCN-M v3, new quality control (QC) procedures were instituted using methods established as part of other dataset development efforts during the past five years. The QC algorithms are based on methods used for the GHCN-Daily temperature dataset and subsequently applied to USHCN-Monthly Version 2 data (Menne et al. 2009). The QC process used in GHCN-M v3 consists of the seven checks listed in Table 1. They are performed in the order listed. The thresholds shown in column two were selected and their performance evaluated based on the method outlined in Durre et al. (2008).
|Data Problem
|Description of Check
|Consecutive month duplication
|Used to identify duplicate retransmission and mislabeling of previous month's temperature for current month. Occurs in GTS transmitted CLIMAT bulletins
|Series Duplication
|Identifies duplication of data between years
|Identifies runs of the same value in four or more consecutive months
|Isolated value
|Identifies months that are isolated in time. One to three consecutive months that are separated from other non-missing months by 36 or more consecutive months of missing values
|Climatological Outlier
|Identifies temperatures that exceed their respective climatological means for the corresponding station and calendar month by at least five standard deviations
|Spatial inconsistency
|Identifies temperatures whose anomalies differ by more than 4°C from concurrent anomalies at the five nearest neighboring stations whose temperature anomalies are well correlated with the target (correlation >0.7 for the corresponding calendar month)
Homogeneity Adjustment
Many surface weather stations undergo minor relocations through their history of observation. Stations may also be subject to changes in instrumentation as measurement technology evolves. Further, the land use/land cover in the vicinity of an observing site may also change with time. Such modifications to an observing site have the potential to alter a thermometer's microclimate exposure characteristics and/or change the bias of measurements, the impact of which can be a systematic shift in the mean level of temperature readings that is unrelated to true climate variations. The process of removing such "non-climatic" artifacts in a climate time series is called homogenization.
In version 3 of the GHCN-Monthly temperature data, the apparent impacts of documented and undocumented inhomogeneities are detected and removed through automated pairwise comparisons of mean monthly temperature series as detailed in Menne and Williams [2009]. In this approach, comparisons are made between numerous combinations of temperature series in a region to identify cases in which there is an abrupt shift in one station series relative to many others. The algorithm starts by forming a large number of pairwise difference series between serial monthly temperature values from a region. Each difference series is then statistically evaluated for abrupt shifts, and the station series responsible for a particular break is identified in an automated and reproducible way. After all of the shifts that are detectable by the algorithm are attributed to the appropriate station within the network, an adjustment is made for each target shift. Adjustments are determined by estimating the magnitude of change in pairwise difference series form between the target series and highly correlated neighboring series that have no apparent shifts at the same time as the target.

Sacajawea săk˝əjəwē´ə, səkä˝– [key], Sacagawea –gəwē´ə [key], or Sakakawea –kəwē´ə [key], c.1784–1884?, Native North American woman guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition and the only woman to accompany the party. She is generally called the Bird Woman in English, although this translation has been challenged, and there has been much dispute about the form of her Native American name. She was a member of the Shoshone, had been captured and sold to a Mandan, and finally was traded to Toussaint Charbonneau, one of whose wives she became. He was interpreter for the expedition. She proved invaluable as a guide and interpreter when Lewis and Clark reached the upper Missouri River and the mountains from which she had come. On the return journey she and Charbonneau left (1806) the expedition at the Mandan villages. While some historians date Sacajawea"s death around 1812, there are others who claim that she was discovered by a missionary in 1875 and that she actually died in Wyoming in 1884.

Mavs battle Pacers in quest for the postseason
The Indiana Pacers are inching toward a Central Division title, but on Thursday, they will try to improve on their road record when the visit the Dallas Mavericks.
The Pacers are five games clear of the Chicago Bulls for first in the Central Division. Indiana has clinched a playoff spot and is in a virtual tie with the New York Knicks for second in the Eastern Conference.
The Mavericks are fighting like crazy just to get into the postseason. They are 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference and have won three straight and nine of their last 12.
The Pacers were a meager 15-19 on the road this season until they visited the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. Indiana, which leads the league in opponents' scoring, came out with a 100-91 victory against the Rockets, who are fractionally second to the Oklahoma City Thunder in scoring.
"No. 1 defensive team against the No. 1 offensive team and we got the better of them tonight," said Pacers coach Frank Vogel. "Our defense was sensational led by Paul George's matchup on James Harden. I thought he really did a strong job and our team did a strong job on him."
Harden netted 22 points, but that's below his scoring average. The 91 points the Rockets mustered was 15 points under their season average.
Roy Hibbert led the way for Indiana with 28 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. Lance Stephenson and George Hill returned to the lineup for the Pacers and Stephenson had 21. George and Tyler Hansbrough, who is starting for the injured David West, both scored 16 points apiece.
The Mavs are coming off a huge win Tuesday over the Los Angeles Clippers, 109-102 in overtime. Thursday's contest will be the fifth of a six-game homestand where Dallas is 3-1.
On Tuesday, the Mavericks held the Clippers scoreless during a three-minute stretch of overtime and kept their playoff chances alive. Dallas has made the postseason 12 consecutive seasons.
Now the Mavs are just a game under .500 for the first time since Dec. 18 when they beat the Philadelphia 76ers.
"It feels like the last time we were one game under .500 was in November, so it's been a long time," said Nowitzki, incorrectly. "We've been fighting to get to this point, but honestly I feel like we're playing our best basketball. It's a good time to play your best basketball, so we'll see how far we can take it."
Nowitzki led the way against the Clips with 33 points. Vince Carter, Darren Collison, Brandan Wright, O.J. Mayo and Mike James all scored in double figures.
After the Mavs complete their homestand against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, they go out west for four games. Four of their last five are in Big D.
The Pacers have won three of the last four against the Mavericks, including a 103-83 victory back in November. Indiana has lost 11 of its 13 in Dallas.

The Robert Koch Institute
When Robert Koch first came to Berlin in 1880, he worked for the Imperial Health Office. The Office was founded in 1876 and was not equipped with a chemical and hygiene laboratory on Luisenstrasse 57 until 1879. Koch's first staff members in the new bacteriological laboratory were Georg Gaffky (1850 – 1918) and Friedrich Loeffler (1852 – 1915). They both followed in his footsteps as Director of the Institute on Nordufer.
Although the idea of setting up a research institute had been under discussion since 1887, it was the 10th International Medical Congress in 1890 in Berlin that actually triggered the establishment of an "Institute for Infectious Diseases" for Prussia. Since its opening on 1 July 1891 the "Koch Institute", as it was already called prior to its inauguration, assumed tasks for towns and Reich authorities. It also responded to international enquiries, mostly by way of expert opinions on the basis of experimental work.
The first location was next door to the Charité Hospital, the largest and oldest hospital in the city of Berlin. The scientific department was set up in a converted residential building which was called the "triangle" because of its ground plan. The hospital department was lodged in individual barracks on the Charité site to the east of the rail tracks. The stakeholders saw this as a temporary solution, not least because there were already plans to extend the Charité Hospital with new, purpose-driven buildings.
In 1897 the cornerstone ceremony was held for today's location. The Nordufer and its environs were at that time on the north western edge of the city of Berlin. Incorporation in 1861 and growth in the population led to the belief that the location had been wisely chosen from the angle of the development of Berlin. The construction work was completed in the summer of 1900. On the spacious grounds there were sheds for large and small animals like cattle, horses, sheep and even ferrets and frogs.
At the same time, the fourth city hospital was erected on the other side of the street. Since it opened in 1906 it has borne the name of Rudolf Virchow. A special infections department was run by a physician who was also a staff member of the Koch Institute. The principle of "scientific" and "sickness department" was retained. Further co-operation resulted from the "rabies protection" and other new departments. In 1919 a Medical Examination Office for Berlin and large parts of the Mark Brandenburg was attached which was taken over by the city in 1945 once again.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the discovery of the tubercle bacillus, "Robert Koch" was added to the Institute's name. After World War I the "Royal" disappeared from the name and it was rechristened the "Prussian Institute for Infectious Diseases Robert Koch". In 1935 the "Institute Robert Koch" was incorporated as a department into the Reich Health Office. In 1942 it became an independent Reich body, the "Robert Koch Institute".
After the end of World War II, the Robert Koch Institute was assigned in 1945 – with the approval of the allied powers – to the health administration of the city of Berlin. From June 1945 onwards the Institute was given epidemic control tasks by the Magistrate of the City of Berlin following corresponding orders of the Soviet occupying power. In 1952 the Robert Koch Institute became part of the Federal Health Office (BGA) and retained this status until its dissolution in 1994. Since then the Institute has been an independent federal institute with a second large department responsible for health reporting and epidemiology.

Although the band's official farewell tour ended in 2008, their momentum is as strong—if not stronger—than ever as they embark on a ten-stop "Promotional Copy" Tour. Over the past decade and a half, Reggie and the Full Effect have brazenly inspired and baffled fans with their outlandish antics and unconventional concepts on an international scale. While we'd be willing to bet that the band's crowning glory comes in the form of their off-the-wall shenanigans, others may argue that their greatest successes include seven full-length albums and collaborations with noteworthy groups like Alkaline Trio, My Chemical Romance and Hellogoodbye.
Nonetheless, Reggie and the Full Effect have yet another achievement to add to their list: a tour fifteen years in the making with their return to the Northeast. While you may have caught them at the Warped Tour or are familiar with their hit singles like "Congratulations Smack and Katy" and "Get Well Soon", it's been said that nothing compares to seeing the eccentric rock posse in person. For instance, on one of their recent tours, the band performed nightly in Pilgrim costumes with the frontman in a full turkey costume. With dramatic metal sounds vibrantly juxtaposed by comical aesthetics, this dynamic group deserves to be seen atleast once.
Although the album, Promotional Copy, was released in 2000, time plays no deterrent in taking it to the road. With stops in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and New York, Reggie and the Full Effect just may be bringing the debauchery to a city near you. Click here for more information and to find out where you'll be catching the esteemed alternative rock group this July.

Forensic Science
The Forensic Science Program has been serving students throughout the United States since 1999. We are dedicated to providing a substantial undergraduate education with an emphasis in the careers accessible with an undergraduate degree, particularly DNA analyst and trace evidence analyst. In addition we serve those interested in having a solid science background as part of a law enforcement career, possibly as a crime scene technician. Our program is closely associated with the strong Criminal Justice program at UND. We encourage anyone who is curious about science or forensic science and does not know yet know which science will be his or her career to consider this major.
Program Strengths
- A forensic teaching laboratory, not an academic laboratory. Our students are grounded in the culture of the forensic laboratory, especially in the areas of security, chain of custody, and forensic report writing.
- A cohort of students who annually attend the American Academy of Forensic Sciences annual meeting. This travel is supported by their fundraising activity and alumni support.
- Community engagement through fundraising activities and science outreach in conjunction with the Dakota Science Center's Science Day each April.
Interested in supporting the Forensic Science Program?
Whether you are a graduate, a forensic science specialist, or an interested citizen, there are numerous ways to support the forensic science program! Opportunities exist in the near future and for years to come. Consider a few of the possibilities below:
- Make a Monetary Donation – Your funds create scholarships, support student travel to the annual American Academy of Forensic Sciences meeting, support students who participate in public learning fairs, and provide access to current technology and databases relevant to budding forensic scientists.
- Donate Equipment – Certain used laboratory equipment such as microscopes; Old 10 gal fish tanks make great fuming chambers, even when cracked; gun enthusiasts generate useful spent cartridge collections and firearms components (no live ammunition or working firearms please); many items are useful, just ask.
Law Enforcement and Crime Laboratory Personnel
- Donate your Experience
- Offer to give guest lectures for classes or the Forensic Science Club.
- Offer to demonstrate your skills in a laboratory or field exercise.
- Invite our students to your institution for a tour.

Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences
Associate Professor of Oncology
Over two decades ago, when she was still in medical school, Dr. Frassica decided which medical specialty she would pursue.
"Working with cancer patients was the thing I found most gratifying and challenging. Radiation oncology offered what I thought was an excellent opportunity to interact with patients, and to provide treatment that I felt was generally well-tolerated and able to provide relief for their disease," says Dr. Frassica, of radiation oncology.
To this day, she has no regrets.
Having served as the Radiation Oncology Residency Program Director for nine years, Dr. Frassica instilled that same level of interest in the profession to medical residents. Continuing to work one-on-one with trainees in the clinic, she remains pleased to share with physicians-in-training the explosive growth that has taken place in the field during her career.
"In radiation oncology, there have been tremendous technical advances to allow us to deliver radiation in a much better fashion, with greater homogeneity of dose," Dr. Frassica says, noting that these improvements have opened up better and often less invasive treatment options for breast cancer patients. For instance, many patients who once had no choice but to undergo a mastectomy can now undergo a combination of lumpectomy and radiation instead.
Dr. Frassica considers herself fortunate to be a part of Johns Hopkins, whose patients are often among the first to benefit from technological breakthroughs made by the institution's scientists. "The research base here is tremendous," she says.
While she acknowledges that the pace of research for those awaiting treatment advances can seem slow, Dr. Frassica is confident that strides will continue to be made, as they have during her tenure as a radiation oncologist. "The volume of research will gradually move from the lab into the clinic, and we will continue to find better and better treatments," she says.
Dr. Deborah Frassica completed residency training in radiation oncology at the Mayo Clinic and served in the United States Navy as a radiation oncologist for ten years prior to joining the faculty at Johns Hopkins in 1998.
Dr. Frassica practices at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Green Spring Station, and Central Maryland Radiation Oncology, which is a joint collaboration between Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland Medical Center located in Columbia, MD.

VICTORIA, BC - Playing their third friendly match of the 2012 preseason, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (1W-0L-2D) defeated reigning Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) champions University of Victoria Vikes 2-1 in Victoria, BC, on Sunday afternoon.
A first-half penalty from Davide Chiumiento and a second-half strike from Matt Watson earned the Blue and White victory in the first-ever public meeting between an MLS club and a CIS team. The Vikes scored their consolation goal on a second-half penalty from Craig Gorman, as a crowd of 2,831 took in the weekend contest at UVic's Centennial Stadium.
"It was an enjoyable occasion," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie after the match. "The event and the way it was run, as well as how our opposition played today, was excellent. I thought we were pretty comfortable today, though it might have been a bit tighter when we had a man sent off. We had a lot of possession and moved the ball well today, though we would have liked to have had more goals at the end of it, especially in the first half. A lot of our guys got 70 to 90 minutes of action today, so I'm pleased with that."
On a cool and dry winter's day in the British Columbia provincial capital, Whitecaps FC made a bright start, as Rennie's young side looked sharp and fluid with their passing and movement in the first half. The visitors created chances inside the first five minutes through a Darren Mattocks header and a neat Chiumiento turn and shot that just missed the far post.
Whitecaps FC opened the scoring on 11 minutes from the penalty spot, with Chiumiento converting his spot kick at the second time of asking after Mattocks had been initially brought down in the UVic box by Vikes defender Gavin Barrett.
Wearing the captain's armband, Chiumiento gave Victoria soccer fans a display of his trickery on 20 minutes. The Swiss playmaker lobbed the ball over the head of Vikes defender Toshi Hayashi on the home side's byline before forcing UVic goalkeeper Elliot Mitrou into a good save at the near post.
To their credit, the CIS champions battled hard and applied some decent pressure before the break. On 33 minutes, Vikes striker Kyle Kostis headed Joel Gomez's curling cross wide of the far post.
By halftime, Mitrou had been the busier of the two keepers, as the Vikes shot-stopper made saves from the Vancouver strike pairing of Omar Salgado on 35 minutes and Mattocks on 41 minutes. As a result, the Blue and White led by a single goal at the break.
The second half was a livelier affair, with both sides making substitutions and each adding to the scoresheet. Whitecaps FC claimed their match winner on 52 minutes, as they took advantage of a scramble in the UVic box. MLS Supplemental Draft pick Greg Klazura found Watson to the right of the Vikes goal. From a tight angle, the Englishman smashed his shot past Mitrou to make it 2-0 to the 'Caps.
Despite being two goals down, UVic did well to get back into the friendly contest. On 65 minutes, the Vikes were awarded a penalty after Davidson pulled down UVic substitute Thomas Mallette in the Vancouver box. The Japanese midfielder was shown a second yellow card, and a subsequent red card, by match referee Ruben Similic before Gorman converted the penalty to make it 2-1.
The goal gave the hosts some life, and with Rennie's side finishing the game with ten men, Bruce Wilson's Vikes squad pushed for an equalizer. It was the lively Mallette that came closest to finding a second UVic goal, but his close-range shot from a Cam Hundal byline cutback sailed high and wide of the target on 78 minutes.
In the end, Whitecaps FC secured their first win of preseason, with Sunday's result taking the club's all-time record versus UVic to five wins, one defeat, and one draw since 2005.
Rennie's squad will return to the Lower Mainland and prepare for Monday's trip to Orlando, Florida, where they will take part in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The 'Caps will face Canadian arch-rivals and MLS expansion club Montreal Impact on Friday at 5 p.m. PT before meeting a second MLS Eastern Conference club in Houston Dynamo next Sunday at 10 a.m. PT. They wrap up their schedule with a match versus Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, February 29, at 3 p.m. PT. On Sunday, March 4, Whitecaps FC will conclude their preseason schedule with a friendly versus Rennie's former club Carolina RailHawks at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, at 12 p.m. PT.

Doesn't fit a normal street bike
By John
from Washington, DC
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Best Uses
This is a rather expensive bike cover from a well-respected company (I have other Topeak products that I really like) so I thought it would be great. First, getting the cover on is a pain; the area for the handlebars is way too narrow, so the only way I can get the cover over the bars is to turn them 90 degrees. Even then, it's too short to easily fit over the front and rear tires so I have to pull hard and move the bike back and forth to get decent coverage. And then I have a hard time covering both pedals and the sprockets. Then if a good wind comes along, it's all for naught, as it blows right off. I'm going to buy a $20 cover from Amazon that covers the whole bike and comes with clips to hold it in place.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

You probably haven't had a real fall shopping list since safety scissors were one of the items, so let's bring that helpful guide back. Less requisite though it may be, this collection of buzzy buys will help keep you focused as you browse the racks looking for your autumnal ensembles.
If you're a prolific shopper, your must-gets are pretty much burned into your brain: a thick-knit sweater that's more Phoebe Philo than Captain Gordon; a pair of not-so-basic ankle booties to replace the ones you finally wore out last year; something pretty to wear to all those reunion happy hours you know are coming up; one statement layering piece that'll make everything old feel new again. Your list is deliberate and thought-out, and you check items off of it if — and only if — you come across the right fit. For a buyer as discerning as you are, seasonal shopping lists are sometimes the least helpful things around. Except, of course, ours.
We're not going to tell you what to buy. Rather, we're here to reinforce that inner checklist you've already got going. These 30 essentials might help you focus in on an idea (maybe that statement layering item will be a vest?), replace an existing thing on your list with something a little more special, or it could just end it all for you and introduce you to The One. Together, we'll add to, subtract from, refine, or expand that mental list of yours. Consider this the best homework assignment ever.

(NewsUSA) – The "green" travel trend is gaining momentum. A recent Lonely Planet survey of 24,500 people found that 93 percent intend to travel more responsibly in the future.
Likewise, a 2012 TripAdvisor survey found that 30 percent of respondents choose a destination because it is considered environmentally friendly.
While a growing number of resorts and hotels have green certifications, when it comes to a cruise vacation, the obvious choice for an eco-conscious consumer is a sailing vacation aboard a tall ship cruise.
Star Clippers' fleet includes the world's largest and tallest sailing passenger ships — Royal Clipper, Star Clipper and Star Flyer.
"At Star Clippers, we maximize the time we are under wind power so our guests can experience a true tall ship sailing experience," said Captain Farhat Shamim, vice president of operations. "Of course, this also reduces the amount of fuel we consume and therefore is entirely environmentally friendly."
Shamim said that in the Caribbean, where winds are most predictable, the ships operate under wind power up to 60 percent of the time. But even when sailing, the ships run their engines to power air-conditioning, refrigeration, lights and more.
The tall ships use high-quality low-sulphur gas oil. Star Flyer was the first ship in the world to receive the International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate, followed by Star Clipper and Royal Clipper.
The ships' size also contributes to a smaller carbon footprint. Unlike cruise ships carrying thousands, Star Clipper ships carry only 170 on Star Flyer and Star Clipper, and 227 passengers on Royal Clipper, which means less water is consumed and less waste is produced.
The ships also have an advanced water-treatment Bio Reactor system to treat sewage and water from sinks and showers. Treated water is clean enough to use for deck wash and can be discharged safely overboard.
But that's the only thing that goes overboard. Oily bilge water from the engine room is offloaded to a facility on shore, and all waste and garbage is disposed of ashore.
"We dump nothing in the water," said Shamim.

GEOS managed to offer nearly all the functionality of the original Mac in a 1 MHz computer with 64 Kilobytes of RAM. It wasn't an OS written to run on a generic x86 chip on a moving hardware platform. It was written using immense knowledge of the hardware and the tricks one could use to maximise speed. Note: After a small break, here is another one of the articles for the Alternative OS contest.

The 68000...
by Kochise on Fri 25th Aug 2006 07:32 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: Slight nit-pick for technical accuracy..."
The 68000 have 8 *TRUE* 32 bits data registers, not extended registers like on x86. I'm an assembler coder for various CPU, and the 68000 is really a good piece of hardware !
The 68000 have a 24 bits address bus which allows addressing 16 MB flat memory (where x86 could only access 640 KB, or 1 MB if A20 used). The data bus is 16 bits, thus reading/writing a 32 bits data needs two access.
With the 68020 (the *FIRST* full 32 bits CPU ever), the address bus *AND* the data bus are spread to full 32 bits, both internaly AND externaly...
ONLY after that Intel followed with the 386 that was 32 bits as well...

MorphologyRead full entry
"Caulerpa taxifolia is a light green macroalga with upright leaf-like fronds arising from creeping stolons. The fronds are flattened laterally and the small side branchlets are constricted at the base (where they attach to the midrib of each frond), are opposite in their attachment to the midrib (as opposed to alternating) and curve upwards and narrow towards the tip. The invasive aquarium clone is morphologically identical to native populations of the species. Frond diameter is 6-8mm and frond length is usually 3-15cm in the shallows, 40-60cm in deeper situations but can grow up to 2.8m in height."

I just watched the PV, and if you are expecting anything other than ecchi harem nonsense, you're going to be disappointed. The jousting animation did catch my eye, however, so I'll probably give it a few episodes based on that alone. Keeping my expectations low as far as plot quality goes.
Weekly posts on the season's best anime! (http://mageinabarrel.com)
Excited for this :3
I usually enjoy visual novel adaptations but this better not go the route of Mashiroiro Symphony or tables will be flipped.
Harem end or bust!
What even
I haven't seen a proper ecchi harem visual novel adaptation in so long. I'm super exited about this.
I expect many suggestive jousting jokes.
I'm not expecting much out of this one but will watch for the giggles. The concept of jousting did catch my interest though somewhat.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
ep 1
I liked it but I can't shake the feeling like this will end up like Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! in terms of the lead and the "ending" he chooses.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Like if Takahiro chooses his horse Sakura in the end, I'll laugh
good character designs for the girls and I actually grew to like Mio in this first episode
What even
I did not expect much from this anime, but the first episode lived up to my expectations. I was hoping for more out of this, but I'm not going to drop it.
Episode 1
That was a pretty dull episode. Except a few of the action scenes, I found it to be cliched and makes almost little sense in terms of jousting. And yes, I think this is a harem anime with fan service so there will be relationships forming most likely. The main girl Mio is already in love with the guy anyways by the looks of it.
I'm kinda interested in this girl though:
Probably a prominent character with elite skills.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Nice to see an anime take on a different story around jousting! Yes there are the girls and fanservice but the animation is nice!The horse Sakura is interesting LOL And there seems to be a girl Mio who needs to be trained after Sakura went wild and got her into a dual.I enjoyed it and will continue to follow.I say it's along The lines of "A Knights Tale"
"In Your Face" Shirase Kobuchizawa (A Place Further Than The Universe)
a whole new meaning to "breast plate"
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Sakura the skirt eating horse! School uniforms and female knights... will give it a few more episodes anyways. Hard to tell if this is just romance with a jousting background or what.
Well this is certainly something different. Jousting school girls.
Seeing all these pretty girls in armor and riding horses is taking me back to Fire Emblem: Awakening just a tiny it(just from a character design standpoint).

She is super elite, the best and expected winner so she surely will be prominent sidekick of the MCs. Both she and anime fits that trope perfectly
Haha. I just thought that especially in jousting that "breast plate" would be extremely dangerous in real life.
Only idiots can learn to fly. [4LCDN8WLAUD]
My first thought was that the animation is really pretty, especially the jousting.
Other than that, Mio is even dumber than the guy, which is nice for once in a harem anime, I guess. Not very impressive stuff though. Probably a drop.
There were a lot of facepalm moments in that one episode. Not a good sign.
Weekly posts on the season's best anime! (http://mageinabarrel.com)
It actually surprises me a bit that this is based on an eroge, since the first episode focused so much on Mio. If not for the panty shots (and the character designs) I almost would've mistaken this for a shoujo sports series.
I'm not sure about this show; its possible the characters may be too dumb to make for an entertaining show. I swear, the number of "hilarious" misunderstandings in this episode was ridiculous.
I have almost no free time, and yet I'm here...priorities
a dense guy, a pink haired ditz, a blonde elite, a silver-haired loli........ I feel like I've been here before.

Description: Journeyman smith Aaron Wilburn, a long time maker of knives for the outdoor enthusiast, has expanded his focus to include culinary knives - creating high-performing kitchen workhorses! This gyuto is true to its Japanese counterparts. The gyuto is the Japanese interpretation of a French pattern chefs knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper and is a favorite among chefs.
The 7 inch blade has a perfect arc for chopping and slicing. The blade is expertly balanced. Aaron forged the blade to shape from 52100 carbon steel. Many makers and collectors feel that this is the best steel available anywhere for use as a knife blade. The blade was then oil quenched three times. Many thermal cycles and normalizing steps assure consistent grain structure. Triple tempering at 400 degrees results in exceptional durability. A cryogenic treatment between temper cycles enhances the edge holding ability. A hand rubbed satin finish lends an heirloom quality.
The handle is contoured comfortably for a sturdy grip in the hand. Spalted maple in hues of raw umber and sienna have a tight, convoluted grain and is immediately captivating. The scales are set on a full tang and fit perfectly to the nickel silver bolster. The stabilized scales will hold up well to the heavy demands of either a professional or home kitchen. Loveless style fasteners are a nice finishing touch.
The knife is accompanied by a leather sheath formed from premium veg-tanned leather by Wickett & Craig. Excellent fit and finish throughout!

Psychology: Debates · Journals · Psychologists
Max Friedrich Meyer (1873–1967), was a German born American psychologist who was the first professor of psychology at the University of Missouri. Meyer had earned a PhD in physics before emigrating from Germany in the 1890s and was a rigorous behaviorist.
He employed O.H. Mowrer as his assistant and subsequently lost his job as a result of a scandal caused by his subordinate.
In his senior year, as a project for a sociology course, Mowrer composed a questionnaire to investigate sexual attitudes among students. It was distributed anonymously and the responses were to be returned anonymously. The questionnaire was accompanied by a letter from a non-existent "Bureau of Personnel Research" which began:
Dear University Student:
During the last several decades it has become increasingly apparent that there is something seriously wrong with the traditional system of marriage in this country. But, unfortunately, the whole matter has been so inextricably bound up with religious dogmas, moral sentiments, and all manner of prudish conventionalities as to make it exceedingly difficult to ascertain with any degree of accuracy the precise reasons for this situation. [1]
There were slight differences in wording between the questionnaires sent to women and those sent to men, but each contained 11 groups of questions requesting the responder's opinions about illicit sexual relations, whether the responder would marry a person who had engaged in sexual relations, how s/he would react to unfaithfulness in marriage, whether s/he had engaged in sex play as a child or sexual relations as an adult, and whether s/he would favor the legal establishment of "trial marriage" or "companionate marriage."[1]
When copies of the questionnaire fell into the hands of conservative parents and alumni, a scandal ensued which went far beyond the walls of the University of Missouri. The fury was directed, not at Mowrer, but at the university and particularly the faculty members who were aware of the questionnaire and allowed it to be distributed, sociology professor Harmon O. DeGraff and psychology professor Max F. Meyer. Ultimately both men lost their jobs, and Meyer never held an academic position again. [1]The American Association of University Professors censured the University for violation of academic freedom, in the first such action taken by the AAUP.[2]
Lipps–Meyer lawEdit
Along with Theodor Lipps (1851–1914) Meyer developed the Lipps–Meyer law, which hypothesizes that the closure of melodic intervals is determined by "whether or not the end tone of the interval can be represented by the number two or a power of two", in the frequency ratio between notes.

My Bloody Valentine To Curate ATP UK - Sonic Youth, De La Soul & MBV Already Confirmed
My Bloody Valentine, the so-called shoegazing band who put out the acclaimed 'Loveless' album in 1991, have just announced that they'll be curating the All Tomorrow's Parties festival at the end of this year.
The band, centred around guitarist Kevin Shields, have already recruited indie stalwarts Sonic Youth and daisy age hip-hoppers De La Soul for the event – and the recently reunited My Bloody Valentine (MBV) will play a set themselves too. The Horrors and the Sun Ra Arkestra are also already confirmed.
ATP is subtitled The Nightmare Before Christmas, and takes place at Butlin's in Minehead, Somerset on December 4th – 6th.
MBV formed in Dublin in the mid-80s, and their use of distortion and digital reverb on their guitars immediately marked them out. After early releases on Lazy Records, the band signed to Alan McGee's Creation Records in 1988 and soon put out the 'You Made Me Realise' EP.
With the release of debut album 'Isn't Anything' they were heralded as being at the forefront of the 'shoegazing' movement of indie guitar bands. Ride, Chapterhouse, Slowdive and their ilk all followed in their slipstream.
The 'Loveless' album, featuring tracks like 'I Only Said' and with almost all instruments played by Kevin Shields, was universally acclaimed on release. It was their last record for Creation though, as it cost an alleged £250,000 to make and nearly bankrupted Creation Records. McGee reportedly couldn't bear to work with Shields again.
MBV signed to Island Records, but Shields isolated himself and went a bit "crazy". No further MBV material was released and the band disintegrated.
Until 2007, that is, when they regrouped for some low-key London gigs before hitting the festival circuit last year. Last autumn they curated the US version of ATP, and booked bands like Mogwai, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr and Mercury Rev for the New York event.
Shields is said to have revisited some 90s recordings with a view to releasing a new album sometime – but who knows when any finalised recorded material will emerge?
My Bloody Valentine is a shoegaze band formed in 1984 in Dublin, Ireland. The band's best known lineup is Kevin Shields (vocals, guitar), Bilinda Butcher (vocals, guitar), Debbie Googe (bass) and Colm O'Ciosoig (drums). Shields and O'Ciosoig are the only original members of the band still in the group. In 1991, the band released their second full length album "Loveless", later declared one of the finest albums of the 1990s. The band struggled to record a follow up album and split in 1997. The band reunited in 2007 and performed several concerts the following year. more
