"175," responds Kimball Garrett, the Museum's ornithology collections manager and resident bird nerd, when someone asked him how many birds he's documented around the Museum. In the last few days of 2013 Kimball checked off another bird that had never before been documented in Exposition Park, this brought Kimball's ever growing list to its current pinnacle.
Kimball behind the scenes in Ornithology Although Kimball has been keeping track of birds in Exposition Park for 30 years now (WOW), this is nothing compared to his track record for Los Angeles. Kimball grew up in the Hollywood Hills where his parents had a bird feeder in their backyard. As a teenager Kimball would explore further and further afield, all the while documenting his bird observations in a journal. Here's one of my favorite stories as recounted recently by Kimball: "Growing up just a stone's throw from Griffith Park's Brush Canyon, I regularly escaped into that nature-filled canyon as a young teenager. Among my many memories of watching birds and other wildlife in that area, one stands out in my mind. Winding my way up a narrow trail in the canyon bottom, not far below what I called "the waterfall" (I doubt it was more than about 8 feet high, but it seemed impressive at the time), I came around a bend and staring down at me from a dead oak snag was a King Vulture! Menacing, big, and very much out of place. I assume this bird had escaped from the Los Angeles Zoo (just a couple miles north, over Mount Hollywood), and I couldn't have known then it portended an interest I would develop in the non-native bird species (including parrots, mannikins, and doves) that are now among our most commonly encountered birds in urban habitats in the region." Unlike the out of place vulture, the bird Kimball found on December 27 is a not that uncommon in our region. It was a Golden-crowned Kinglet (GCKI), Regulus satrapa, flitting around in a deciduous tree next to the pond. Unfortunately the bird was too fast for Kimball, and he was not able to snap a recognizable photo. However, he recorded the find and went back to his office. When he checked his Exposition Park bird list, he found that this was the first sighting of a GCKI! Though according to Kimball, we've had lots of sightings of its very close cousin, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Regulus calendula, which "is a common fall migrant and winter visitor to the park." In comparison the GCKIs are "scarce and irregular winter visitors to the lowlands of Southern California; this has been a better than average winter for them in the region."
This is what a Golden-crowned Kinglet looks like, photo courtesy of Dick Daniels. Maybe you can spot your own GCKI if you go out birding this weekend! Or if you are a novice, you could join a FREE L.A. Audubon bird walk this weekend and get some help. Happy Birding in 2014!

Today is Museums on Instagram day, where museums from all over the world share photographs that bring the museum to life, and for the first time The Baltimore Museum of Art is one of them. This morning, we posted our first photographs to Instagram, and we'll continue to use the platform to share the moments and works of art that inspire us daily.
Joining Instagram is the latest in a series of steps we've recently taken to increase our social media presence, including renewed attention to our Twitter account, the Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs' Tumblr, and this blog. This is particularly important for us as we approach our 100th birthday because we're focused on reconnecting with our communities – learning who you are, what you're interested in, and how we can better connect with you. For us, being social really is about an exchange of ideas and opening up space for conversation, and we can only do that if we're in the same places as our community.
The BMA has a long history of seeking to connect with its communities to gain their feedback. In 1937, the Museum's Trustees surveyed 225 organizations in Baltimore. Their responses would go on to inform programming and the Museum's approach for several years.
In coming days, we'll be announcing another initiative that will further connect the work that happens inside the building to our communities. In the meantime, join us on our new Instagram account baltimoremuseumofart, on Twitter and Facebook, and follow the #InstaMuseum hashtag to see what museums all over the world are doing.
Let us know what you think. Which social media channels do you use for art, and why? What would you like to see us doing more of? We'd love to hear from you.

Mark Wahlberg to produce hacker thriller
- Bang Showbiz
- 13 December 2012
Mark Wahlberg and his producing partner Jonathan Herman are turning their attentions to a thriller about a hacker who targeted high school students
Mark Wahlberg is to produce an as-yet untitled thriller about a hacker.
The 'Broken City' actor could also take on a role in the Universal movie, which is being scripted by co-producer Jonathan Herman based on a piece written by David Kushner for GQ magazine called 'The Hacker Is Watching'.
The real-life case saw students at a large US high school targeted by a ruthless, skilled hacker who gained access to their computers and managed to set up the webcams on their laptops to film them unawares, as well as sending malware and various other rogue files to the machines.
Mark and Jonathan have previously produced 'Contraband' for Universal and are also developing action comedy 'Bait and Switch' and thriller 'The Disciple Program' for the studio.
Mark can next be seen starring in 'Broken City', '2 Guns', and 'Lone Survivor', and was recently linked with a role in 'Transformers 4'.
Director Michael Bay - who helmed the first three films in the franchise - previously dismissed speculation the 'Ted' star is going to be in the forthcoming movie but the filmmaker has now hinted the 41-year-old star could appear in the motion picture after rumours presented him with the idea to cast Mark.
In a post on his personal website, Michael wrote: "I squashed a rumor that was on the internet last week. It was about Mark Walhberg. Mark was rumored to be staring in Transformers 4. We are working on another movie together, not T4.
"I had such a great time working with Mark on 'Pain and Gain', and he gave such a great performance - well let's say that very internet chatter gave me some ideas. We are at the inception of our story process right now on T4. Let's say some ideas are gaining traction with me and my writer - so I'm here to say thanks internet chatter."

With State of the Union Approaching, Four in Five Americans Give the State of the Country Negative Ratings
Over half of Americans want to see economy addressed in State of the Union
Jan 24, 2014, 11:00 ET
NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- While many in Washington, D.C. are spending this weekend trying to stay warm or maybe still digging out from the snow earlier in the week, President Obama and his staff are getting ready for next week's State of the Union address. This address comes as just one in five Americans (20%) rate the current state of the country positively while four in five (80%) give it negative ratings. And, while it's not surprising that 92% of Republicans give the state of the country negative marks, so do 83% of Independents and a full two-third (67%) of Democrats.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100517/NY06256LOGO )
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll® of 2,047 adults surveyed online between January 17 and 21, 2014 by Harris Interactive. (Full findings, including data tables and comprehensive breakdowns by political party, available here)
Looking at Specific Issues
As the President lays out his agenda for the upcoming year and stresses the issues he would like Congress to undertake, it's interesting to note how Americans feel a number of issues are going in the country. On six specific issues, strong majorities give negative marks. Three in five (61%) U.S. adults give negative ratings for the overall state of the environment in the U.S., while two-thirds (67%) give negative ratings for how the country is doing on education and seven in ten (71%) give negative national ratings for healthcare. Three-quarters of Americans give negative ratings for how well the economy (74%) and immigration (75%) are doing, with almost four in five (78%) saying the same for jobs.
When it comes to the topics that should be addressed in the State of the Union, three definitely rise to the top. Over half of Americans (56%) say that President Obama should address the economy, while two in five each say he should address jobs (43%) and healthcare (38%). Less than one in five believe immigration (18%), education (17%) and gun control (14%) should be addressed, while just one in ten (9%) say the environment should be addressed in the State of the Union.
Thoughts on the President
January is not only State of the Union time; it's also the beginning of a new year - the 6th of President Obama's time in the White House - and the past year has not been an easy one for him. Looking at 12 statements, six more positive and 6 more negative, about the President, it's clear that the past year has taken its toll on how people view him.
Looking at the positive statements, each of these has fewer Americans who agree with them this year than last January when President Obama was getting ready to be sworn in for his second term.
- 55% agree President Obama is trying to bring about much needed change, down from 59% last year;
- Just under half (49%) agree he is open, honest and trustworthy, down from 55%;
- 49% agree President Obama is working for the people's best interests and doing the right thing, down from 54%;
- Under half of Americans (48%) agree he deserved his re-election, down from 54% right after he was re-elected;
- 47% agree the President does a good job of explaining issues to people like me, down from 54%; and,
- Two in five U.S. adults (42%) agree he has made other countries feel better about the United States, down from 49%.
Looking at some of the more negative statements, some have gone up over the past year, while others have stayed flat and others still have decreased.
- Three in five Americans (60%) agree President Obama spends too much time talking and there isn't enough action, up from 54% who agreed with this statement last year;
- 56% agree he hasn't done much for us yet, up from 48% last year;
- Just over half of U.S. adults (54%) agree that the President is spending too much and creating too much debt, same as last year;
- Half of Americans (50%) say he is not changing things fast enough, down from 56% last year;
- 45% agree President Obama doesn't care about people like them, up from 40%; and
- One-third of Americans (34%) agree he is changing things too fast, up from 23% last year.
So, as President Obama takes to the Speaker's podium in the House of Representatives, all eyes will be on him to see how he handles these issues. Or will they? Less than three in ten Americans (28%) say they will watch the State of the Union address this year and two in five (40%) say maybe they'll watch; one-third (32%) will not be watching.

This Harris Poll was conducted online within the United States between January 17 and 21, 2014 among 2,047 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.
All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Harris Interactive avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in the Harris Interactive panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Live from SIGGRAPHAugust 11, 2004
In the tradition of my running update during SXSW earlier this year, I'll be covering the SIGGRAPH experience as I'm here in LA today and tomorrow.
Though SIGGRAPH is focused on an industry somewhat tangental to most of what's discussed on this site, there is a web graphics path, which is why I'm here (if you're attending, I'm speaking in the web graphics room [501AB] on Thursday, Aug 12th sometime after 1:45pm — probably closer to 3pm. Come say hi).
The main difference between SIGGRAPH and every other conference I've been to so far is scale. This one is huge. 20,000 people huge. It's the largest conference in the computer graphics industry, and 'there are an overwhelming amount of things to do and see.
In reverse chronological order, here are some of the more interesting encounters so far. (Pardon any broken links, wireless here is spotty and slow due to volume, I'll fix them as I can.)
10:30pm — It's official: dead logic board. Luckily still under warranty, unluckily meaning that SIGGRAPH came and went without another update. Next year.
3pm — Dammit Apple. Not this. Not now.
I travel with my older iBook because it's tiny and actually fits on a plane's tray table. Not to mention that it's less valuable.
The same iBook that, based on serial number, definitely isn't supposed to be affected by the logic board problem plaguing older models. The same iBook I've already been burned twice by. The same iBook that is now randomly freezing with blurry lines filling the screen, and refusing to actually turn the screen on upon reboot.
My presentation is backed up on this server, so at least I don't have to go into emergency panic mode. Updates may not be as frequent as I thought though.
11am — I sat in on a few web graphics sessions revolving around navigation. The one that jumped out at me was a project called 'Okinawa Wonder' which required intelligent interaction with over 10,000 pages. Though it wasn't clear to me what the data was for, the problems were universal, and the metaphor they used particularly clever.
All data is mapped as a galaxy, each point a 'star'. Over time the frequently accessed data points spiral out toward the edges, becoming more prominent, and the less-accessed pages float to the center and eventually disappear. There must have been some magic happening I missed because the 'stars' themselves were images, and even though it was a minimal interface, 10,000 images stored in memory and rotating around a central axis in real time feels like a long shot.
The metaphor was expanded with further user-configured mapping techniques, notably 'constellation' and 'planet' modes which weren't explained, but almost don't need to be.
The demo was an interesting way of seeing how other people see data. It's this sort of application that the up-and-coming web application war needs to address; at the moment the only feasible technology to deploy the system on is Flash, or a custom plug-in like they've used in this case.
10am — A quick run through the Emerging Technologies exhibit tells me I'll need to go back and see more. Some of it was yawn-inducing, but there were some majorly impressive demonstrations.
A company I just noticed is also from Vancouver called Sunnybrook Tech is demoing an amazing new LCD technology. Your average LCD monitor is considered good if it has a 600:1 contrast ratio; theirs does 40,000:1. The images are ultra-vivid, especially in the darker ranges where traditional LCDs fall down. The secret is individual pixel darkness control instead of a backlight, and 16-bit brightness control (as opposed to 8-bit on a regular monitor).
There were a lot of 3D demonstrations, some visual, some tactile. Of note was a prototype of a moving platform which I can only describe as 'intelligent stepping stones'. Which movie was it, Star Wars Ep. 1 X-Men!, where there was a scene with someone walking across thin air, floating platforms rushing out to catch his feet just in time. It's sort of like that — three platforms with wheels rush into place to catch the person's foot, basically allowing them to walk in place without going anywhere.
One I didn't get to try was a tactile feedback simulator using air jets instead of wires and objects. A 3D scene was projected onto a table, allowing some basic interaction with resistance generated by compressed air, simulating actual objects.
A couple of LCD panels were mounted on poles, allowing someone to rotate them 360 degrees. For every degree of rotation the scene altered accordingly, simulating a complete walkaround of various objects.

Go figure.
I won't forget this handwriting in Paris.
Sweet images! I love the whimsical quality of a lot of those, Carol!ReplyDelete
Bonjour Carol. Once again, these take me back to the days of my childhood. I wish I could still write like this, but have to be honest: I don't think I could pull off the French cursive that successfully anymore... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
I suddenly wonder about the cursive script I was taught in elementary school - much different form this one, not so rounded, more narrow and slanty. I never realized there are different "fonts" even in regular handwriting instruction.
If only the "prove you're not a robot" words were written in French script!
So adorable, you have spoiled me rotten with all those French handwriting samples, I don't even remember if I can write still!
I can't find any handwriting in your last picture, I confess. Alas, I have eaten a French-size slice of the raspberry tart while you were looking for more handwriting samples. *smile*
I had nothing to do with the new illegible Blogger capchas.
They were sprung on us overnite.
Hopefully some will raise a ruckus and they will disappear overnite as well.
Here's hoping.
Great post, Carol.
Maybe it's because there's so much writing, but the images as I scrolled through lent a grand feeling of "airiness" to it all.
Fun! I would love to write like these! Unfortunately my writing isn't so cute. Ah well, something to aspire to!
Great post!
Love the French kiddie having her afternoon snack of a cookie and a cup of chocolate..
Carol, I hope you can find this Japanese book in NYC, it shows how to write cursive French! KatReplyDelete
I love that second postcard. I think you do a very good job copying the cursive writing. I love the way they do the R's. You can tell what they are and that they don't look like n's..and I do wish they would drop that 'not a robot' weird writing too.ReplyDelete
My former French professeur, a francophile would say: C'est tres magnifique! Her name is Judith Jeon-Chapman of Holden, MA. College professor, speaker of four languages and takes student's abroad. I think last June of 2010 if not 2011.
Nothing I do online is copyrighted, open to more scrutiny. The post cartes d'inscript are lovely.
Bonjour Carol,
I learned French privately and then at L'Institut Francais d' Athens. Much of my first year of French at L' Institut but tellingly some part here and there of the following years till I graduated was spent learning French calligraphy. I love it. I cannot write any other way. So well illustrated!Thank you, Carol!
L'Ami Jean? Wow. That was our local when Antoine and I lived around the corner there for 5 years. LOVE that place. Didn't realise they'd gone all curly wurly since. Och, I do wish I could write like that so have to live through my daughters. Great post, Carol.ReplyDelete

You can see dynamic websites almost everywhere on the net. Popular software packages, whether for blogging (like WordPress or Drupal) or e-commerce (such as osCommerce) are configured to be dynamic in nature. Dynamic websites rely on MySQL databases to fetch and insert data coming from and going to the browser.
If you are beginner, understanding the simple diagram below helps you to understand the role of MySQL in today's dynamic websites as compared to the traditional static websites.
In a simple static websites (popular in the old days of the Internet), you would see the following flow of events:
Client browser request for information from the server -> Server returns HTML code to the browser -> Browser displays the HTML, which becomes a web page.
Now, in modern dynamic websites:
The client browser requests a web page, and when the server receives the request, the web template (those files with the extension *.php) executes the PHP scripts that involve fetching information (involving queries) from MySQL (such as your name, password, content, or anything else). The information will then be added to the web template, and then return to the browser as HTML. When you view the source code, you cannot see the PHP scripts any longer, because they have already been executed in the server.
With dynamic websites, you can create a thousand URLs with only one server PHP template stored. But with static websites, you need to store 1000 HTML files in your server to create 1000 URLs (which is very difficult to manage or update). Do you see the difference?
If you know the most important MySQL queries, it will then be very easy to communicate with the database, thus enabling you to create complex PHP web applications. This will save you time and make your website as efficient as possible. In this tutorial, we will illustrate PHP scripts that will query a MySQL database using the basic INSERT, SELECT, and UPDATE commands.
{mospagebreak title=The INSERT MySQL Query Command}
Okay, before we can grab data from the database, we must know how to insert data. Assuming you have already created a database with a table name, then inserting data can be done with the INSERT SQL command. I've given an example below. Assuming that you are inserting three pieces of data simultaneously into three different fields in the MySQL database, it will look something like this:
INSERT INTO `tablename` (`fieldname1`,`fieldname2`,",`fieldname3`) VALUES('$datatobeinsertedtofieldname1′,'$datatobeinsertedtofieldname2',
When using this query with PHP, be careful about the exact use of quote symbols and exact spelling of fieldnames and variables. This is the common cause of errors in PHP programming that involve the use of the INSERT query.
Note that the table name and field names in the query command should be used with back ticks (`) , and that you need to maintain consistent cases between the actual MySQL tablenames and the ones used with your script. This will avoid case sensitivity issues, which could be common in Linux/PHP and MySQL environment.
For example: if your table name is SongArchives, use also:
INSERT INTO `SongArchives` …..
Finally, to formulate a complete MySQL query in PHP using the INSERT command, the following is the recommended script:
//Step 1 Connect to database
$username = "Your MySQL username here";
$password = "Your MySQL password";
$hostname = "Hostname";
$table = "MySQL Table name where the data will be inserted";
$database = "The name of the MySQL database which holds the table";
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db($database,$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select $database");
//Step 2. Insert other PHP scripts here (such as grabbing data from HTML forms, etc)
//Step 3. Sanitize variables before inserting to database. This will prevent MySQL injection.
$datatobeinsertedtofieldname1 = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($datatobeinsertedtofieldname1));
$datatobeinsertedtofieldname2 = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($datatobeinsertedtofieldname2));
$datatobeinsertedtofieldname3 = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($datatobeinsertedtofieldname3));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `tablename` (`fieldname1`,`fieldname2`,",`fieldname3`) VALUES('$datatobeinsertedtofieldname1′,'$datatobeinsertedtofieldname2',
or die(mysql_error());
{mospagebreak title=The SELECT MySQL Query Command}
So we now have data in our database. If we would like to grab data from it, we will need the SELECT command. There are several options for grabbing data.
Option 1: Grabbing the entire data table out of the database:
SELECT * FROM `tablename`
Here is the PHP script to illustrate this example. It grabs the entire MySQL data table and displays it in your browser.
//Step 1 Connect to database
$username = "Your MySQL username here";
$password = "Your MySQL password";
$hostname = "Hostname";
$table = "MySQL Table name where the data will be inserted";
$database = "The name of the MySQL database which holds the table";
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db($database,$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select $database");
//Step 2. Insert other PHP scripts here (such as grabbing data from HTML forms, etc)
//Step 3. Sanitize variables before inserting to database. This will prevent MySQL injection.
$categories_id = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($categories_id));
$language_id = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($language_id));
$categories_name = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($categories_name));
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `categories_description`")
or die(mysql_error());
echo '
';
echo '
';
echo 'Categories ID	';
echo 'Language ID	';
echo 'Categories Name	';
echo '
';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo '
';
echo ''.$row['categories_id'].'	';
echo ''.$row['language_id'].'	';
echo ''.$row['categories_name'].'	';
echo '
';
echo '
';
This will display the table in the HTML browser, which looks like this:
Option 2: Extracting specific data from a specific fieldname in the MySQL table.
There are cases when you need to extract specific data from a specific fieldname that satisfies certain conditions.
An example of this application is when you need to extract the customer email address if they can correctly provide the username and password. So there could be three fields in the table: username, password, and emailaddress.
So, to extract the customer email address in a MySQL table, for example customertable, the PHP query could be:
//Connect to database…
//Sanitize the variables..
//MySQL query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `emailaddress` FROM `customertable` WHERE `username`='$username' AND `password`='$password'")
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
$emailaddress = $row['emailaddress'];
echo "Your email address is: $emailaddress";
In this PHP MySQL query, the WHERE statement specifies the condition under which it pulls out an email address matching a certain username AND a password.
You can query MySQL using several AND statements, as long as it is correctly done.
{mospagebreak title=The UPDATE MySQL Query Command}
One of the important MySQL queries that need to be done in PHP is UPDATE. As the command suggests, it enables you to update records in the MySQL table, without necessarily inserting a row again.
For example, you have the following data table below:
Assuming Peter Patter would like to change his password from "logan" to "weaponx," the MySQL query using UPDATE would be:
//Step 1 Connect to database
$username = "yourusername";
$password = "yoursqlpassword";
$hostname = "localhost";
$table = "usertable";
$database = "userdatabase";
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db($database,$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select $database");
//Initial variables
$username = 'wolverine';
$fullname = 'Peter Patter';
//Set new password for Peter Patter
$newpassword = 'weaponx';
$newpassword = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($newpassword));
$username = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($username));
$fullname = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($fullname));
//Update records in MySQL database
mysql_query("UPDATE usertable SET password = '$newpassword' WHERE username = '$username' AND fullname = '$fullname'")
or die(mysql_error());
echo 'The database has been updated. Thank you';
The update script above will change the password of Peter Patter from "logan" to "weaponx." The script above is just a raw example; you can make the above PHP script work with HTML forms for more interactive updating of data.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) A week off for the Seattle Seahawks allowed coach Pete Carroll to take a closer look at some of his team's struggles.
Third down has been the biggest issue for the Seahawks this season on both sides of the ball. A defense that ranks third in the league in yards and points per game given up is allowing opposing offenses to convert on 41 percent of third down opportunities.
Offensively, Seattle (6-4) is converting just 33 percent on third down. Both stats are in the bottom third of the league. The Seahawks face Miami (4-6) on Sunday.
``For as good as we can play on defense at times to be at 40 percent, that's not good enough for us. We need to knock that thing down,'' Carroll said.
It's an area Carroll focused on during the week off to evaluate how they can improve over the final six weeks of the season. Carroll said they broke down what they were doing in a given situation and how teams are attacking them in those situations.
``We came to some conclusions that we wanted to fix some things,'' Carroll said. ``...There's a couple spots in the third down areas where we haven't been as effective, so we're trying to focus on that.''
Carroll said there will be some ``subtle'' changes to how they handle some situations that the team will adjust going forward.
The Seahawks had a practice on Monday that allowed them to implement some of the adjustments. It also allowed them to try and shake off the rust after a week away from the facility.
``(A bye week) can throw you off. You can get thrown out of whack because you're in those routines,'' Carroll said. ``... I'm not taking it for granted that we've just got it nailed and we're back in full steam again.''
The bye week did come at a perfect time for Seattle to rest some lingering injuries. The Seahawks have been relatively healthy throughout the season with just three players on injured reserve through the first 11 weeks - none of which were starters.
The Seahawks did have 13 players listed on their final injury report before their last game with the New York Jets.
Only guard James Carpenter was unable to practice during the team's first workout since the break on Monday. Carpenter was still undergoing tests for a concussion suffered three weeks ago. Carroll said they would know more about his status on Wednesday.
Linebacker K.J. Wright was cleared to return to practice from a concussion suffered two weeks ago on the opening series against the Minnesota Vikings.
Defensive tackles Clinton McDonald (groin) and Greg Scruggs (oblique) also missed the Jets game with injuries but were back on the practice field Monday.
Carroll said that he expected cornerback Walter Thurmond to be back in the lineup this week. Thurmond was activated from the physically unable to perform list prior to the Seahawks win over the Jets, but was inactive for the game. He's practiced with the team the past three weeks and Carroll is ready to get him back on the field.
``I think he's ready to go,'' Carroll said. ``... He's a special football player and we'd like to get him involved.''

Report: States With Lax Gun Laws Drive Crime In Other States
Shortly before clinching the Delaware Republican Senate nomination, Tea Party darling Christine O'Donnell received a last-minute boost in the form of an endorsement from the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Despite the Tea Party's supposed emphasis on fiscal matters, guns have been an important issue for the movement since its inception. At last year's rallies against health care reform, the sight of armed protestors became the norm. And Sharron Angle (R-NV), perhaps the most famous product of the Tea Party movement, has imagined possible "Second Amendment remedies" to the nation's problems.
But a group of almost 600 mayors across the country aren't being quite so cavalier about the dangers of lax gun laws. Today, Mayors Against Illegal Guns issued a report finding that "nearly half of the guns that crossed state lines and were used in crimes in 2009 were sold in just 10 states." The study also showed that states with lax gun laws are far more likely to produce guns that are used in crimes in other states:
[The study] uses previously unavailable federal gun data to identify what it says are the states that most often export guns used in crimes across state lines. It concludes that the 10 worst offenders per capita, led by Mississippi, West Virginia and Kentucky, supplied nearly half the 43,000 guns traced to crime scenes in other states last year.
The study also seeks to draw a link between gun trafficking and gun control laws by analyzing gun restrictions in all 50 states in areas like background checks for gun purchases, policies on concealed weapons permits and state inspections of gun dealers. It finds that, across the board, those states with less restrictive gun laws exported guns used in crimes at significantly higher rates than states with more stringent laws.
According to the New York Times, the group of mayors will use the results to push for tighter gun restrictions, including "closing the so-called gun show loophole." Last year, a survey conducted by Republican pollster Frank Luntz found that even 69 percent of NRA members support closing the loophole, but efforts to do so have consistently stalled in Congress, due in part to overwhelming opposition from conservative lawmakers. Notably, O'Donnell's primary opponent, Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE), endorsed the mayors' effort to close the loophole in April.

While most consultants continue to concentrate on illiquidity premia, some consultants have shifted their focus to the other extreme . Fraser Lundie, Co-Head of Credit at Hermes Investment Management looks at how UK pension schemes, like many other areas of finance are grappling with structural change rarely seen to such an extent or evolving so quickly. Ageing populations, political changes, and regulatory shifts are combining to drive "cash" in all its forms, to become one of the most important components of a scheme's portfolio.
Structural Change at work
As schemes are maturing and de-risking, they are increasingly positioned for this unwinding stage. This in itself brings cash more into play, as does the increasingly negative cash flow profile that such a mature scheme demonstrates. Pension freedoms have added an additional element of uncertainty over cash calls, as some members opt to cash out.
In recent years, pension schemes have increasingly employed leverage, commonly via interest rate and inflation hedges, to improve liability matching. However, this leverage has implications for a scheme's ability to manage collateral calls and liquidity requirements (settlement payments or pension payments). Indeed, bank regulation around the central clearing of swaps means that, in future,, collateral will have to go beyond just Gilts, which are also becoming less freely available via repo - again an unintended consequence of regulation.
So cash is going to be more sought after, indeed, required at the very time its accessibility and expensiveness are adding complexity.
Liquidity Laddering
Unfortunately, the solution cannot be to just hold more cash. Even if one optimises liquidity facilities, required asset return assumptions are already under the spotlight for their rosiness . Schemes can ill afford another hit to returns at a time when the liability side is also being inflated by historically low discount rates.
A solution being put forward by the market is a 'liquidity ladder" approach. This comprises three rungs – operational cash – literally, money in the bank. Then comes reserve cash – largely Gilt related exposure, offering a suitable buffer to day to day operational cash. Thirdly, strategic cash, which would be an allocation more tilted to short dated credit, ABS, and Absolute return credit strategies. As liquidity is taken out via the bottom rung, it is replenished by the one above.
The net effect of this liquidity ladder will reduce gilt exposure whilst increasing outright cash and credit based strategies at either end of a barbell formation. This barbelling immediately boosts overall liquidity due to the higher outright cash holding, increases asset return due to the higher credit allocation, and reduces the scheme's basis risk given the reduced assumed gilt vs swap liability.
So more liquid, higher return, lower risk – what's the catch? Allocating to a strategic cash strategy that avoids taking illiquidity premium as a driver of performance is key. Just because a fund has daily liquidity does not mean you are matching cash-like requirements with liquid assets. As such, strategies that employ large portions of illiquid credit, ABS, distressed, loans etc should be kept in their natural home of long-term, return-seeking areas of a scheme's portfolio. Similarly, high fees, often associated with more illiquid or complex allocations can eat away a sizable portion of what is a relatively small gross return objective. Lastly, within absolute return, there has historically been an overreliance on interest rate duration as a means of downside protection, something which quickly looks like a double bet when traditional correlations break down a la taper tantrum 2013.
Absolute Return Credit well placed to fit on the third ladder
The term absolute return conjures up mixed messages and strong opinions about what it means, or should mean. At Hermes, we manage our Absolute Return Credit Strategy with three key objectives in mind. Firstly, we want to ensure Absolute means Absolute, by focussing on the downside protection properties of the strategy to the extent that we can deliver positive absolute returns on a rolling 12 month basis. This means restricting the amount of directional risk, whilst at the same time diversifying the means of downside protection away from interest rate duration exposure. Secondly, we look to operate the strategy with minimal liquidity and volatility risk, ensuring its appropriateness for a cash-like allocation such as the liquidity ladder approach. This involves a focus on companies with large, multi-layered capital structures, ensuring both potential to hedge and optimise the alpha generating opportunities intra-capital structure, rather than drifting into directional bets. Lastly, we look to achieve a return target through the full credit cycle of Libor+3% before fees, giving what we believe is an adequate return relative to the moderate risk being undertaken through a full holding period.
Liquidity requirements do not need to translate into forfeiting returns if structured in a beneficial way. The benefits of a liquidity ladder approach centre around a superior risk adjusted return potential and an improved operational environment. Such a change in approach may well end up being forced upon schemes via regulatory headwinds, particularly those who have moved toward a more heavily levered LDI structure in recent years. Having decided to move towards a dynamic liquidity ladder framework, it is crucial that the strategic allocation delivers on its mandate and does not deviate into illiquidity, complexity or directional premia. In this way, it will be possible to achieve the higher return, better liquidity, lower risk outcome promised by the liquidity ladder approach.
Any opinions expressed may change. The value of investments and income from them may go down as well as up, and you may not get back the original amount invested. Any investments overseas may be affected by currency exchange rates. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and targets are not guaranteed.

Juan Carlos Santana is founder of the Institute of Human Performance in Boca Raton, a gym for fitness consumers that also serves as a campus for professionals seeking more fitness education, certifications and training.
The business is a reflection of his personal philosophy rather than a corporate strategy, says Santana. He views himself as an artist first and says his business has grown much the same way, organically.
He said he approaches the concept of fitness as a community need. The facility has a resource library featuring DVDs and books. And it serves as a research and development site for equipment manufacturers and an internship site for universities. It offers specialty certification programs and is a training site for law enforcement and security. It also is a training site for high school, college and professional athletes.
Santana's business is family-friendly in a variety of ways, he says. His own family: sisters, his mother and his children play roles in running the company. And fitness training programs are geared for all consumers: moms, dads, children and grandparents.
Creating relevance has given the company staying power in a tough economy, says Santana who is also a contributor to peer review journals and trade magazines.

The drill-down:
When did your idea first occur to you? In 1999, after working in several gyms, I knew that creativity could not survive in the standard gym. Most gyms are commercially driven, and to this day, most big gyms are based on client failure not client success. The machine that drives the modern gym is "sell memberships at a faster rate then their members quit, increase the EFT at all cost." We don't keep clients by wrapping them up in a contract — we earn their business with superior service and a incredible environment.
What steps did you take to ensure keeping the business up and running despite the economy?
I expanded my educational tour and certifications to the international market. I toured 21 countries in 2009. Now, students from all over the world come to IHP to learn about training methodology. Additionally, our international scope allowed us to secure a significant fitness endorsement contract from TechnoGym, the largest equipment company in the world. The timing is not strategic in nature, but rather an organic evolution of our work and moving forward at a pace that has not been seen in our industry.
You'll be celebrating a re-grand opening Jan. 14. What significance does this have? We've seen other gyms fall like snowflakes over the last 10 years. Every person who likes to exercise wants to use their life's savings to open a gym. That's like someone who likes to eat opening up a restaurant. The prediction: inside of 2-3 years about 95 percent of entrepreneurial hopefuls will lose their life's savings and some shrewd business guy buys the equipment/location as part of bankruptcy for 15 cents on the dollar. Like most people in successful businesses today, IHP has been through a lot. Over the last 3 years, 7 gyms within a 6-mile radius of IHP have closed. This is an invitation to the community to show what they have right at their doorstep.
What's your philosophy on owning and running a business.
I'm more of the artist type, IHP was never meant to be a traditional gym, thus the name. It was meant to be a laboratory; an 'art-room,' a place where trainers, employees and outside fitness professionals, could come and train their clients with no creative restrictions and with the latest training methods.
What is the best advice you ever received? Stay small, work hard, don't compare yourself to the competition — they are usually way behind you. Dare to dream.
13 Fitness Tips
Develop strength before cardio.
If it has a label, don't eat it.
Develop your core before your extremities.
Train for flexibility through functional strength training — not static stretching.
Train integrated movements not just isolated muscles.
Give yourself at least 2 weeks to establish a habit.
Don't train through pain.
Don't copy generic workouts.
Don't train with a trainer just because they have a great body.
Don't lift without a spotter.
Don't advance too fast — follow proper progression.
Don't do your cardio before your strength training.
Don't buy snacks for the house.

The Origin of the Universe
Chapter One
In the Beginning
Our universe is dotted with over 100 billion galaxies, and each one contains roughly 100 billion stars. It is unclear how many planets are orbiting these stars, but it is certain that at least one of them has evolved life. In particular, there is a life form that has had the capacity and audacity to speculate about the origin of this vast universe.
Humans have been staring up into space for thousands of generations, but we are privileged to be part of the first generation who can claim to have a respectable, rational and coherent description for the creation and evolution of the universe.The Big Bang model offers an elegant explanation of the origin of everything we see in the night sky, making it one of the greatest achievements of the human intellect and spirit. It is the consequence of an insatiable curiosity, a fabulous imagination, acute observation and ruthless logic.
Even more wonderful is that the Big Bang model can be understood by everyone.When I first learned about the Big Bang as a teenager, I was astonished by its simplicity and beauty, and by the fact that it was built on principles which, to a very large extent, did not go beyond the physics I was already learning at school. Just as Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection is both fundamental and comprehensible to most intelligent people, the Big Bang model can be explained in terms that will make sense to non-specialists, without having to water down the key concepts within the theory.
But before encountering the earliest stirrings of the Big Bang model, it is necessary to lay some groundwork.The Big Bang model of the universe was developed over the last hundred years, and this was only possible because twentieth-century breakthroughs were built upon a foundation of astronomy constructed in previous centuries. In turn, these theories and observations of the sky were set within a scientific framework that had been assiduously crafted over two millennia. Going back even further, the scientific method as a path to objective truth about the material world could start to blossom only when the role of myths and folklore had begun to decline. All in all, the roots of the Big Bang model and the desire for a scientific theory of the universe can be traced right back to the decline of the ancient mythological view of the world.
From Giant Creators to Greek Philosophers
According to a Chinese creation myth that dates to 600 BC, Phan Ku the Giant Creator emerged from an egg and proceeded to create the world by using a chisel to carve valleys and mountains from the landscape. Next, he set the Sun, Moon and stars in the sky; he died as soon as these tasks were finished. The death of the Giant Creator was an essential part of the creation process, because fragments of his own body helped to complete the world. Phan Ku's skull formed the dome of sky, his flesh formed the soil, his bones became rocks and his blood created rivers and seas. The last of his breath forged the wind and clouds, while his sweat became rain. His hair fell to Earth, creating plant life, and the fleas that had lodged in his hair provided the basis for the human race. As our birth required the death of our creator, we were to be cursed with sorrow forever after.
In contrast, in the Icelandic epic myth Prose Edda creation started not with an egg, but within the Yawning Gap. This void separated the contrasting realms of Muspell and Niflheim, until one day the fiery, bright heat of Muspell melted the freezing snow and ice of Niflheim, and the moisture fell into the Yawning Gap, sparking life in the form of Imir, the giant. Only then could the creation of the world begin.
The Krachi people of Togo in West Africa speak of another giant, the vast blue god Wulbari, more familiar to us as the sky. There was a time when he lay just above the Earth, but a woman pounding grain with a long timber kept prodding and poking him until he raised himself above the nuisance. However,Wulbari was still within reach of humans, who used his belly as a towel and snatched bits of his blue body to add spice to their soup. Gradually, Wulbari moved higher and higher until the blue sky was out of reach, where it has remained ever since.
For the Yoruba, also of West Africa, Olorun was Owner of the Sky. When he looked down upon the lifeless marsh, he asked another divine being to take a snail shell down to the primeval Earth. The shell contained a pigeon, a hen and a tiny amount of soil. The soil was sprinkled on the marshes of the Earth, whereupon the hen and pigeon began scratching and picking at it, until the marsh became solid ground.To test the world, Olorun sent down the Chameleon, which turned from blue to brown as it moved from sky to land, signalling that the hen and pigeon had completed their task successfully.
Throughout the world, every culture has developed its own myths about the origin of the universe and how it was shaped. These creation myths differ magnificently, each reflecting the environment and society from which it originated. In Iceland, it is the volcanic and meteorological forces that form the backdrop to the birth of Imir, but according to the Yoruba of West Africa it is the familiar hen and pigeon that gave rise to solid land. Nevertheless, all these unique creation myths have some features in common. Whether it is the big, blue, bruised Wulbari or the dying giant of China, these myths inevitably invoke at least one supernatural being to play a crucial role in explaining the creation of the universe ...Big Bang

Waiting on the Herd
The snow continued to melt off the Dunn Tire Park playing surface today as we all anticipate the Bisons official arrival in a few weeks. There is a MASSIVE snow drift between the dugouts behind home plate so the sun has a lot of work to do to get rid of all the snow in the park but it has done a great job so far. Down south the Bisons had much better playing conditions but couldn't find enough fire power for a win.
Buffalo was defeated by the Round Rock Express (Astros), 8-2, Tuesday afternoon from Winter Haven, FL. The Herd is now 2-2 after the first four games of their 12-game spring exhibition schedule.
Solo home runs from outfielder Nathan Panther and infielder Wes Hodges accounted for both the Bisons runs. Panther also singled (2-3) as he had two of the Bisons' five hits in the game.
With Cleveland having a scheduled off day, RHP Fausto Carmona pitched for the Herd. Cleveland's 19-game winner from last season allowed three unearned runs on six hits in five innings of work. He also stuck out five.

Final Day To Apply For A Moose Hunting Permit
Today is the last day to apply for a Maine moose hunting permit!
You can do so online at the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's website, you have until 11:59PM tonight! The application fee for Maine residents is $15.
Winners of the moose lottery will be announced on June 14th during a big ceremony at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. The drawing will start at 3pm and continue until all 3,095 names are announced.
The number of permits that will be awarded this year will be 25% less than what was originally projected. Not only did we experience a horrible long winter but so did the moose. Winter ticks attacked the big beasts in record numbers and unfortunately according to studies done by the state many moose did not survive.
Maine's moose hunting season runs from September 22nd through November 29th, depending on which Wildlife Management District you'll be hunting in.

LAKE FOREST – Devin Hester is the greatest kick returner in the history of the NFL.
However, that doesn't mean Hester is immune to making mistakes.
Bears special teams coach Dave Toub said Thursday that he hoped for better decision-making on punt returns from Hester, who signaled for a fair catch Monday against the Detroit Lions when a good return seemed possible.
"He probably made some decisions in that game that he would probably take back," Toub said. "He might have returned that last one, possibly. But that's just the way it is."
Toub said he remained confident in Hester, a three-time Pro Bowl player.
"Most of the time, he's going to make the correct decision," Toub said. "We just want him to get that aggressiveness back, and we think we'll get that sooner or later."
Hester entered his seventh NFL season averaging 12.9 yards a punt return, but he has averaged only 7.6 yards a punt return in 2012.
Crunching numbers: Quick, name the Bears' top tackler entering Week 8.
If you guessed second-year safety Chris Conte, you deserve a high-five from Staley, the team mascot.
Conte has registered 41 tackles, which is two more than Lance Briggs and four more than Brian Urlacher. Conte is six tackles shy of matching his total from 2011, when he played in 14 games.
If Conte maintains his pace to lead the team in tackling, it would be quite a story. The last player not named Urlacher or Briggs to lead the team in tackling was linebacker Barry Minter in 1999.
Tall order: Bears coach Lovie Smith said he saw parallels between 5-foot-8 cornerback Tim Jennings and 5-9 receiver Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers.
Both players could square off against each other Sunday.
"They've been told all their lives, 'You're small, and you can't do this,' " Lovie Smith said. "But for them to be playing at that type of level in the NFL says a lot. Two tough football players. It should be a lot of fun watching them."
Charles Tillman, a relative giant at 6-2, also could line up against Smith on certain plays.
Bears bits: Tight end Brody Eldridge did not practice because he was sick. … Alshon Jeffery remained out because of a hand injury.

FDA says 580 pets have died from jerky-caused illness
The jerky products were made of chicken, as well as duck, sweet potatoes and dried fruit and were sold under many brand names, most imported from China
The Food and Drug Administration has turned to pet owners for help in an ongoing investigation into jerky products, most made in China, that have killed nearly 600 dogs and cats.
Since 2007, roughly 3,600 dogs and 10 cats have fallen ill - and more than 580 have died - from eating the sliced and dried meat products, the food inspection agency said in an update on Tuesday.
Pet owners and veterinarians were asked to report more cases in "one of the most elusive and mysterious outbreaks we've encountered," said Bernadette Dunham, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, in a statement posted on the FDA's website.
"Our beloved four-legged companions deserve our best effort, and we are giving it," Dunham said.
Symptoms displayed within hours of eating jerky include decreased appetite and activity, increased water and drinking and urination, vomiting and diarrhea. Severe cases involve gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney failure.
The jerky products were made of chicken, as well as duck, sweet potatoes and dried fruit and were sold under many brand names, most imported from China. An FDA spokeswoman declined to name any of the brands.
The FDA said it has inspected several manufacturing facilities in China, and continues to work with Chinese authorities.
Some jerky products were taken off the market in January, after the New York State Department of Agriculture and Marketing found six unapproved antibiotic drugs in the Chinese-made treats.
Until the investigation concludes, the FDA recommends that pet owners use caution in serving jerky to their animals.
"Pet treats are not a necessary part of a fully balanced diet, so eliminating them will not harm pets," the FDA said.

Gunmen Kill At Least 33 People In Baghdad Attack
Iraqi police say gunmen have killed at least 33 people, including 29 women, in a raid on two buildings in a housing complex in Baghdad.Police officials say the gunmen showed up in four-wheel drive vehicles before storming the buildings in the Zayounah neighborhood in eastern Baghdad. They say at least 18 people were wounded.
Police have cordoned off the area.An Interior Ministry official and hospital officials confirmed the casualty figures. The motive behind the killings was not immediately clear. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Earlier today, Iraqi authorities said some 4,000 volunteers were being dispatched to an embattled city west of Baghdad to help bolster government forces fighting Sunni militants there.
Gen. Rasheed Flayeh, the commander of operations in Anbar province, says 2,500 of the reinforcements arrived Friday in Ramadi, and the rest are expected to arrive Saturday.
The vast majority of volunteers are Shiite who answered a call from the country's top Shiite cleric to defend the country from the militants have seized control of much of northern and western Iraq.
Ramadi is the capital of Anbar, a predominantly Sunni province and one of the most active fronts in Iraq. Militants overran parts of Ramadi early this year before the government reasserted its control.
