The Northern California Seismicity Project (NCSP) is a counterpart to the San Francisco Bay Region (SFBR) - Historical Earthquake Re-analysis Project (HERP) reported in the research chapter on HERP. The initial objective of this project which commenced in August, 2000, is to transcribe the pre-1984 data for M 2.8 earthquakes which have occurred in Northern and Central California (NCC) (outside of the SFBR covered by HERP), from the original reading/analysis sheets, kept on store in the Berkeley Seismological Archives, to a computer readable format.
As is the case with HERP, characterization of the spatial and temporal evolution of NCSP seismicity during the initial part of the earthquake cycle as the region emerges from the stress shadow of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake is the long term goal. The problem is that the existing BSL seismicity catalog for the SFBR, which spans most of the past century (1910-present), is inherently inhomogeneous because the location and magnitude determination methodologies have changed, as seismic instrumentation and computational capabilities have improved over time. As a result, NCC seismicity since 1906 is poorly understood.
Creation of a NCC seismicity catalog that is homogeneous, that spans as many years as possible, and that includes formal estimates of the parameters and their uncertainty is a fundamental prerequisite for probabilistic studies of the NCC seismicity. The existence of the invaluable BSL seismological archive, containing the original seismograms as well as the original reading/analysis sheets, coupled with the recently acquired BSL capability to scan and digitize historical seismograms at high resolution allows the application of modern analytical algorithms towards the problem of determining the source parameters of the historical SFBR earthquakes.
Although the 1910 to present BSL catalog of earthquakes for NCC appears to be a simple list of events, one must remember that it really is a very complex data set. It is easy to misinterpret observed variations in seismicity if we do not understand the limitations of this catalog. The existing 1910 to present BSL catalog of earthquakes for NCC is inhomogeneous in that it suffers from the three types of man-made seismicity changes identified by Habermann, 1987, namely detection changes, reporting changes, and magnitude shifts. The largest change in the detection capability of the BSL seismic station network occurred starting circa 1927 with the installation of the Wood-Anderson and Benioff seismometers at several sites in NCC (see Figure 18.1) and the resulting increase in sensitivity lowered the threshold for detection of NCC earthquakes by about 2 units. The most significant reporting change occurred circa 1942 when the BSL began determining for some earthquakes and by 1948 was routinely determined and reported for all SFBR earthquakes listed in the BSL Bulletin (Romney and Meeker, 1949). A magnitude shift occurred in 1954 when the response of the Wood-Anderson seismographs changed (owing to changing the free period from 1.0 to 0.8 seconds) (Bolt and Miller, 1975).
The lack of a homogeneous catalog of earthquake for the SFBR which spans most of the past century, the availability of the invaluable BSL seismological archive, the interest in the Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP, 1999), the funding of an initial effort with support from the USGS-PG&E CRADA, and the purchase and loan of a high-resolution wide-format digitizer by the USGS, combine to provide both an incentive and an unique opportunity to systematically re-process, using modern algorithms, the BSL seismographic records and data for SFBR earthquakes and to produce a homogeneous catalog of earthquakes for the region.
During the past year two students have been transcribing the data from the original BSL reading/analysis sheets to computer readable form. They started by transcribing the original reading/analysis sheets from 1983 and they have been working back in time. Currently they are transcribing the data from 1977. To expedite the transcription process, we have converted all relevant available data from the online NCEDC event catalogs and the in-house phase data to the flat transcription file format as shown in Figure 18.2. This process enabled us to start with transcription files that contained approximately half of the data that is on the original reading/analysis sheets. The primary data from the original reading/analysis sheets, that was not included in this process, was the Wood-Anderson maximum trace amplitude data that is crucial for the determination of local magnitude.
We have acquired a copy of the International Data Center (ISC) CDROM which contains events and associated station data published in the ISC Bulletin from January 1964 through December 1977 (Version 1.2). The ISC data set contains event and station data contributed by Berkeley. The CDROM also contains a PC executable program which can search the database and facilitate extraction of the ISC in-house coded phase data in a readable print format.
UC Berkeley students Tom Fournier and Sergio Romero Ramirez participated in this project and we thank them for their efforts.

A coalition of Afghan war crimes victims is lobbying against the Afghanistan Peace Jirga and the Afghanistan government's effort to begin a reconciliation process with the Taliban and other insurgents. The Afghanistan Peace Jirga, which took place early last week, brought together approximately 1,600 delegates from around Afghanistan to discuss building peace and the motives of insurgency groups. However, Afghan war crimes victims, such as surviving family members and a group of 24 NGO's called the Transitional Justice Coordination Group, say that there needs to be more accountability for war crimes and that negotiations with insurgents is not the long-term solution.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, victims of war crimes and the Transition Justice Coordination Group met in May at a symbolic "victims' jirga" to make their case to the Afghan government. In 2005, as the government adopted a Transitional Justice Action Plan, the group believed that there would be expanded rights for victims of war crimes and greater punishment of war criminals. The plan was never implemented, however, and the government has increased its amnesty laws to protect belligerents. Many people have begun to feel that there needs to be greater justice for war crimes victims before negotiations continue, reports the Monitor.
Only about 20% of the Jirga delegates were women, according to the Seattle Times, despite the repeated pleas of national and international groups to involve women in the reconciliation process. In February, Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Robert Casey (D-PA) held a joint subcommittee hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Afghan Women and Girls: Building the Future of Afghanistan. Dr. Sima Samar, chair of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, traveled from Afghanistan to testify. Dr. Samar provided invaluable insight on the current situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. She warned: "women must be included in the reconciliation process and their voices must be heard."

Many teenagers use the Western holiday as a time to express their love, which often leads to premarital sex, said Idris Abdul Somad, deputy mayor of Depok, a town on the outskirts of Jakarta, the capital.
"I called on parents not to give their children any chance to celebrate Valentine's Day," he said. "Because they may be expressing love to their lovers more freely ... it could lead to forbidden sexual relations."
He called on residents to instead take their children to Islamic religious activities.
Religious leaders in Aceh, the only Indonesian province where Islamic law is imposed, pressed ahead with a new rule banning people from buying gifts for Valentine's Day. Celebrations were already banned in the province.
"It does not reflect love in accordance with Islamic teachings ... it's the same as promoting faiths other than Islam," said Teungku Faisal Ali, a prominent cleric of the Aceh Ulema Council.
Hundreds of students in Jambi, on Sumatra island, and Solo, in Central Java, held Valentine's Day protests Wednesday. Muslim clerics also urged youngsters to avoid celebrations in several cities in Indonesia, including Padang, Riau, Palembang and Banten.
Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, is a secular nation of 240 million. It has a long history of religious tolerance, but a small extremist fringe has become more vocal -- and violent -- in recent years.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist: The Blind Alchemist (Moumoku no Renkinjutsushi)While on their way back to Resembool to have Ed's arm repaired, Ed and Al buy earrings as souvenirs for Winry to prevent her from getting mad about the broken automail. Later on, Ed fights an assassin and his automail gets broken again, and he buys more earrings for Winry to avoid her wrath. Winry explains that she decided to pierce her ears after meeting Riza on the day Ed decided to become a State Alchemist. Meanwhile, Riza explains to her colleague that she grew her hair long after meeting Winry that same day. Her colleague comments on how simple a reason that is, and Riza says that reasons are always simple. To explain her choice, she remarks that they are all living in a simple world - where when they pull the trigger, their enemies die.
Ed and Al hear of a blind alchemist named Judau who had supposedly performed a successful human transmutation. Meeting up with him, Judau reveals to Ed that a young girl named Rosalie was resurrected through alchemy, with his eyes paid for in equivalent exchange. However, the Madam refuses to teach Ed about the techniques used. Rosalie leads Al to a room with a little girl's shrivelled corpse inside. She reveals this as the result of the real Rosalie's transmutation, while she herself is a girl named Amy, who was adopted due to her similar appearance to Rosalie. As Ed arrives on the scene, the Madam tells him that her late husband kept the truth about the transmutation failure from Judau, who truly wanted to resurrect Rosalie. Ed and Al then leave, carrying this knowledge with them as well.

The waves beat a soothing refrain on the rocks just below. The wind whispers in the trees, which brush against the soft white walls of the tent. Out the giant picture window, the twinkling lights of faraway ships glisten like candles on a cake. You light a candle, adjust the mood lighting, turn down the stereo, turn up the Jacuzzi jets, and sink into the giant soaker tub with its 180-degree views, and let out a sigh. Now this is camping!
At one time camping was the purview of boy scouts, rugged adventurers and families on a budget. Then some enterprising folks imported designs for Mongolian yurts from their travels abroad, and so started the trend towards more luxurious tenting excursions. Those rich enough to go on safari in Africa brought home stories of even more glamorous camping, where you could sleep at night under the stars in style in soft beds followed by hot showers in the morning and sumptuous meals. So started the new trend towards "glamping," or glamorous camping, where roughing it is not the point of your journey at all.
Rockwater Resort at Secret Cove on the Sunshine Coast has taken the concept of glamping to its final destination. Here, on a rocky wooded hillside perched above the Pacific Ocean, owner Kevin Toth has built the most luxurious tenting accommodations imaginable, where visiting guests can enjoy the sensation of living like movie stars on location. Rockwater's "tenthouse suites" are the height of luxury, with radiant heating built into tiled floors, huge double beds, wraparound decks with views to die for, and giant soaker tubs into which you sink and never want to emerge.
In fact, despite the stunning views and multitude of attractions available--exquisite dining in the lodge, hiking trails, fishing, massage and treatments at the resort's "spa without walls," beachcombing and tours to local artists and villages--Toth admits some guests opt to simply stay in the tenthouses for the duration of their stay. The soft lighting, whispering winds, soothing waves and birds twittering in the trees all combine to make glamping at Rockwater a most romantic experience. With radiant heating and fireplaces, the tenthouses are an even bigger hit in winter than in summer.
Those accustomed to highrise hotels, fancy resorts of brick and stone or sturdy wooden chalets will find it hard to believe, but the 13 tenthouses scattered around this magnificent site, connected by wooden boardwalks, boast an ambience that cannot be matched by the finest indoor hotels. The combination of natural lighting, outdoor sounds and cool breezes matched with deluxe amenities such as the soaker tubs simply cannot be topped. For stressed out, high-energy, overworked city dwellers the ambience at Rockwater is an utter delight (although Toth reports one guest who demanded to be moved away from the sea because the soothing sound of the waves kept her awake).
All of the tenthouses are connected by a giant wooden boardwalk built throughout the forest; the views from it are forever. At night the entire boardwalk is brought to life by a tiny string of lights, like a pearl necklace hanging in the forest. For those so inclined, breakfast in bed is available, brought to your door by pushcarts along the boardwalk.
Each tenthouse contains a fireplace, shower and tub, stereo system, telephones, huge double beds and an intricate lighting system (wireless connections coming next) but there are no kitchens; for meals you simply amble down the boardwalk to the lodge and make acquaintance with chef Stephen Ewing and his selections of the day.
Rockwater at Halfmoon Bay maintains some wooden cabins from the days when it was Lord Jim's, the original salmon fishing resort on the Sunshine Coast, and those cabins and the main lodge are where children and families are welcomed, although those cabins will soon be converted into new family townhouse-style accommodations.
The tenthouse suites perched on a peninsula above Secret Cove remain the purview of lovers and adult couples seeking solitude and serenity, "roughing it" in the midst of luxury.

Indianapolis, IN - Secretary of State Todd Rokita urges Indiana homebuyers to go to http://www.in.gov/sos/securities/2419.htm before signing off on a mortgage loan.
"While many elements contribute to Indiana's top state foreclosure ranking, checking on your loan broker's credentials is just one of several steps that aware consumers should take to ensure they are protected in the home buying process," Rokita said.
Visitors to the Web site can search the Secretary of State's database to ensure their broker is registered with the state. The office is responsible for renewing and licensing mortgage loan brokers.
The Indiana Investment Watch Web site was established in March to help Hoosiers check on the backgrounds of investment advisors and mortgage loan brokers.
Some brokers are exempt from registration and do not appear in the database. Hoosiers can also call the Secretary of State's office at 1.800.223.8791 to find out whether their mortgage broker is licensed or exempt from licensing.
The site also provides educational material to assist consumers in their money-related decisions.
Rokita advises homebuyers to review the Top 10 Red Flag List for Mortgage Loans to ensure that they have thoroughly analyzed their mortgage process:
Hoosiers can also call the Secretary of State's office at 1.800.223.8791 to find out whether their mortgage brokers are registered.
IndianaInvestmentWatch.com provides a link for victims to file complaints with the Secretary of State's office. From 2003 - 2005, the Enforcement Division and Prosecution Assistance Unit investigated 623 cases of investment-related fraud.
In 2005, investigators from the Secretary of State's office took part in a sweep of licensed loan brokers in various parts of the state. Thirty-two examinations were conducted, resulting in the discovery of 37 separate violations of the Loan Broker Act. As a result of these violations, Rokita's office entered into seven consent agreements totaling $3,300 in civil penalties, eight deficiency letters, two enforcement cases and the termination of three loan broker licenses.

Naomi Wolf is "simply appalled" at my "misrepresentation" of her disposition toward Muslim veiling on my recent NewsReal blog. She has asked my boss, David Horowitz, to "remove this falsehood from your site and correct the record." She has also made similar demands of Phyllis Chesler, who has also touched on Wolf's totalitarian odyssey in a recent Pajamas Media piece.
Wolf insists that she does not find the burqa "sexy" and that she does not wish to institutionalize it, even though her recent piece in the Sydney Morning Herald is entitled Behind the Veil Lives a Thriving Muslim Sexuality and discusses how, upon her travels to Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt, she found a lot of hot sexuality going on because of the veil (i.e. marital sex is steamy when women cover up and show themselves only to their husbands, etc.).
There is something eerily pathological about Wolf's pretension to have made some kind of amazing discovery in finding human nature existent in the Muslim world. She found sexuality – as if someone in the West, probably an evil Republican in Wolf's imagination, believes that Muslim women are not interested in sex. The issue, of course, is not that anyone says people in the Muslim world do not enjoy sex, or yearn for sex. The issue is that women are not free to make their own choices without fear of punishment – an issue that a leftist like Wolf, unsurprisingly, deliberately ignores.
Reminiscent of creepy and pathetic tales that fellow travelers told (about what they had "learned") upon their returns from Stalinist Russia and Maoist China, Wolf comes back to share the news. Many Muslim feminists, she implores, apparently told her that they wish that we Westerners would focus on examples of women's rights in their societies rather than on "what they wear."
Sorry Naomi Wolf, the mere fact that someone told you something does not erase the reality of how tyrannical structures employ dress codes to wield various forms of oppression. If Jews were, for instance, once again forced, in any given society, to suddenly start wearing particular articles of clothing to identify and distinguish themselves from other people, should those of us who are concerned suddenly become unconcerned merely because a Jewish person in that society told you to tell us not to worry about it?
Not that you know or care anything about history, but there is a reason why despotisms and apartheid structures create dress codes. The enforcement of such codes plays a crucial role in keeping the structures of tyranny and the enslavement of a people in check (e.g., Maoist unisex clothing had a ruthless purpose). Ms. Wolf, do you really fail to grasp the fact that dress codes in the Islamic world, such as the niqab and the burqa, play a crucial role in keeping the chains of gender apartheid in place, and that this is precisely why the guardians keep them in place?
No Ms. Wolf, I won't stop worrying about what Muslim women are forced to wear. I care about the Muslim women who have had acid thrown in their faces, or who have been raped or killed or set aflame, because of the dress code they chose not to follow. I know you don't care about them, because they eluded you somehow during your political pilgrimage and you have yet to utter one of their names and tell us, with heartfelt concern, what happened to them and why.
So I also can't refrain from asking you, Naomi Wolf: Who is it exactly that you were talking to during your fascinating trip? How is it that from everything you have related, one doesn't get the sense of any dissent or difference of opinion? Are Muslim women really not like members of the human race, all with different perspectives and opinions? Are you not uncomfortable with what you didn't hear? With what someone may have feared to say? Did you try hard to go to the prisons, to perhaps visit a woman who had suffered incarceration because she had violated some Islamic taboos? Or to visit a woman who had been hurt in some way because she had violated the laws of the veil? Did you ask around to speak with the families of victims of honor killings?
Like the pathetic fellow travelers who have come before you, it is no surprise that from all your findings, it never occurred to you to even consider the vital questions you ought to have asked those around you – and also yourself: What if one of these women had stood apart from the crowd and voiced her dissent? What if she had announced that she did not think like the others, and that she did not approve of the veil and of the Islamic theology behind it? What if, in an environment where everyone was veiled, she had thrown the covering off of herself and run outside into the street because she wanted to do so? Could she speak of having a lover and do so without fear for her life? What would happen to such an individual after you returned to your life of comfort and privilege in the West? Would you care?
If a person traveled to the Soviet Gulag under Stalin and talked to the slave laborers and returned telling stories only of how some of the workers commented on how the slave labor helped their cardio-vascular system and had built strong muscles, what do you think our reaction should have been? If a person traveled to Auschwitz and returned to tell only that some of the surviving camp inmates related that they had really bonded with the other inmates in ways they had not bonded with others in previously in their lives, and that therefore there was happiness in Auschwitz and that we must keep that in mind, what should our reaction have been?
No parallel? No analogy?
Ms. Wolf, you cannot, with dignity, talk about any kind of veiling in the Muslim world without the context that there is a ramification, and a deadly one on myriad levels, for a woman who does not veil. Feminist hero and a survivor of Islamic oppression, Wafa Sultan, has explained this dark reality – upon which maybe you might want to reflect before you do more harm to those you are pretending to help. She writes about the veil, and how it is not a choice even when it appears to be:
In 2005, I traveled to Syria with my American friend. We visited a small Syrian Island (Erwad). My friend noticed that the majority of women in that place were head covered. I asked our tour guide to explain the reasoning behind it. I asked: "Are ALL women in this island covered? Without any hesitation he responded: "Yes, they are ALL covered except for a few whores."
So, yes, it might be their decision, but it's not their choice. When you make a decision, your society does not necessarily allow you to freely choose. The decision in this case is made to avoid humiliation and reprisal by the Muslim community around these women.
These are the issues that one would expect someone concerned with human dignity, freedom, social justice and women's rights would raise when visiting and writing about the Muslim world. But these issues are clearly not for you, Naomi Wolf. Like all fellow travelers, you intentionally make yourself oblivious to the most central truth staring you right in the face: Expressions of support for a form of tyranny are utterly meaningless in a system where any contrary expression or behavior will be punished by social stigma, imprisonment, torture, and/or execution.
Feminist hero Phyllis Chesler has already issued a withering response to Wolf, explaing why Wolf won't get an apology from her. It is difficult not to cringe while witnessing this mismatch between an intellectual heavyweight scholar — who has herself suffered under Islamic gender apartheid — and a lightweight like Wolf, whose role in all of this clearly stems not from her concern for persecuted women, but from personal narcissistic cravings to feel good about herself. Indeed, apologizing for tyrannical adversarial structures will make anti-Americanism and anti-capitalism easier for her and for her many comrades who will pat her on the back.
Once a leftist herself, Chesler had the courage and humanity to abandon her leftist faith for the sake of standing up for suffering women. Her leftist milieu made her pay the price and, like it does to all of its heretics, the Left made her into a non-person. But Chesler chose to suffer that banishment because she cared for the truth and for the victims of brutality. This is a step that Wolf, living in the luxury of praise and acclaim among her liberal and leftist friends, cannot take. She's chosen the easier, lazier and hypocritical path: to win tremendous material and cultural rewards from an affluent society that has freed her from the drudgery of work and routines so that she has a virtually limitless amount of time to sit around and think up everything she hates about that society.
So sorry, Naomi Wolf, I won't apologize for saying you support the institutionalization of the burqa.
First, since it appears to be over your head, the key is that the burqa is a symbol of women's oppression under Islamic gender apartheid. And it is the natural outgrowth of the premises that underlie forced veiling of any kind.
Second, in terms of institutionalization: If you travel to despotic lands, where women face social stigma, physical violence, torture and death if they choose not to veil themselves, and if you justify veiling without stressing the consequences for not veiling, then you are in league with the oppressors — and you are calling out for, and are complicit in, the institutionalization of the burqa.
So sorry, Naomi Wolf, on this side of the battle, with real feminists such as David Horowitz, Phyllis Chesler and Robert Spencer fighting on behalf of women's rights under Islamic gender apartheid, we are a bit reluctant to apologize to people who style themselves as feminists but who sacrifice millions of suffering Muslim women on the altar of their own narcissism and their own politics of self-indulgence. And for that, it is you who owe an apology – to your sisters in the Islamic world whom you profess to have befriended, but whom in fact you have betrayed.
Editor's note: Get the whole story of leftist feminists' alliance with Islamofascists in Jamie Glazov's new book, "United in Hate: The Left's Romance With Tyranny and Terror."

Whitman entered the year talking about webOS and how making it an open-source project would help it continue to develop. But after losing much of its talent, including former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein, and being spun off as a separate company called Gram, the webOS unit is scarcely a blip on the HP radar.
HP did release Open webOS 1.0 in September, positioning it as a fully functional version of webOS that works with smartphones, tablets and PCs. But Whitman gave it nary a mention when she surprised Wall Street analysts by saying HP plans to eventually get back into the smartphone business. Meanwhile, HP has for the time being tied its tablet destiny to Windows 8.

The future just got a little bit closer with Intel's announcement that it is working on the Quark X1000 processor family, designed specifically to power the Internet of Things. The first Quark chip reference boards should start to see the light of day by the end of the year, though it may take longer for them to actually start appearing in devices.
The availability of a low-power, tiny core for sensors and devices may accelerate the growth of a world where everything is intelligent and connected. In fact, Machina Research, a machine-to-machine advisory group, predicts that within the next eight years, the number of connected devices will top 50 billion worldwide. That prediction was made before the Intel announcement, which could drive the numbers higher more quickly.
The world envisioned by Machina, and likely now Intel, sees sensors and processors inside almost everything, from doors that report how many times they are opened to streetlights that can detect faulty bulbs to roads that know when potholes are forming. Many of these devices will be able to take some type of actions on their own, like ordering supplies or even making repairs without the need for human intervention. They will communicate with one another using sparse data in the form of machine-to-machine (M2M) code. And it looks like that intelligent back end could be powered by the new Quark chips.
Many of these intelligent sensors could one day find their way into government service, where they might become part of creating smarter places to live and work. Intel is partnering with the cities of Dublin and London to build a reference solution that could revolutionize urban management, providing citizens with better cities and improved municipal services with lower costs.
"It's one thing to install computing power in billions of smart objects," said Intel President Renée James. "What we're doing is harder — making powerful computing solutions that turn data to wisdom and search for answers to the world's most complex problems like cancer care.."
The Intel effort to push into this area could certainly make smart cities a reality more quickly, though other companies like ARM have been working with tiny computing devices and already have chips installed inside millions of microcontrollers.
In any case, the world where machines can interact with each other, take actions and even heal themselves without human help is coming. This week's events may just accelerate the transformation.

These sensors to be connected to the internet of things will be typically connected via Bluetooth or some other RF radio. These are typically power hungry. What is actually powering these IoT applications? Batteries, which need to be continuously recharged. "Power" is ultimately going to be biggest challenge moving forward for the IoT. This is especially considering these devices will need to become smarter than I smart phones to gain traction in the market place. Smarter typically means more sensors and data, which means greater power consumption. This means an alternative to the battery is needed.
I am constantly in awe of the trust that people put in the internet. At home I have installed a lot of intelligent components. It was foolish enough of little old me to connect some of these components to a network in the name of convenience. Luckily, I am not important enough to be the target of people who are both evil and technically skilled. The government is another story. Bad people can be surprisingly inventive and crime is their "day job." Sensors and other hardware components can fail or be caused to fail. And even worse, if they're connected to networked microcomputers they can be tampered with. I would advise caution in adopting this type of technology on the internet without serious efforts to implement security. I also sense an ulterior motive. I love ARM. They make awesome microcontrollers and provide great APIs, but I wonder how much of this article is an attempt on their part to increase market share is. I can't fault them, but as an environmentalist, I see additional issues with the disposal of the chips. Put a chip and a bunch of sensors in everything? Sounds great. But unless they last forever or are biodegradable, we're just making more garbage. The used components would also have to be carefully disposed of so that bad people could not access the information stored on the chip (even after "erasing" this data may be accessible) and cause harm.

Patricia & Paul needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 48 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Liberty Hair Company
We are a Husband and Wife team running a high fashion, and very busy hair dressing salon in Strathaven Scotland and we are re-inventing our image and looking for a hot new logo (and more) to go along with our new look.
Wife (Originally from New York City) moved to Scotland to start a life and business with her Scottish Husband. Husband (Born and raised in Scotland) is the Talent behind the excellent hairdressing.
We choose the name Liberty Hair Company as we wanted to incorporate both our worlds and infuse a new future and business for years to come.
We aim to be the best hairdressing salon in Strathaven and the surrounding areas. We currently have clients of all ages, and want to continue to appeal to the widest age range possible. We want our clients, and potential new clients to look at our logo, know what the logo is selling and feel totally inspired to walk thru our doors and feel confidant that they will be taken care of from start to finish.
We are looking for a logo that represent Hair Dressing Excellence without following any stereo-typical hair/scissor images.
One idea was to somehow incorporate the Crown of the Statue of Liberty but we were not sure how to do that. One reason was because the obvious, I am from New York, and the other reasons is that we felt it would stand for Freedom and we want our customers to feel a sense of freedom to experiment on their image. If the statue of liberty crown is used, then it HAS to be subtle, not obvious as we don't want it to feel like a holiday brochure.
This logo MUST be appealing to both ladies and gentleman as it is a unisex salon.
We know that we definitely do not want any scissors in the logo… or clips of hair, no cartoon images or ladies.
We want our logo to be elegant and rich, but not so fancy that people think we are not affordable and approachable, but not cheap and boring
The font (typeface) for the text we are open too, however we want it to be clear to read, not script. What ever the font is… we want the word Liberty to be slightly larger, see example below (just an example)
HAIR COMPANY (smaller text)
The colours we had in mind were: Deep Red/Burgundy with Gold, Brown & Gold, or even Green & White'ish, but absolutely no Blue, but were open as long as it feels elegant and can appeal to both ladies and gents.

Gittel bombing is an act of protest in the United States in which activists throw Gittel on people at public events. It is a protest tactic created by the Queer community in which individuals, often political candidates, who make discriminatory statements have Gittel thrown at them.
Ex. Michelle Bauchman was Gittel bombed at a recent book signing, after telling homosexuals that her husband could cure them.

There's a common stereotype that iPhone users tend to be less educated about the technical specs of their phones. I'm not one to make fun of anyone, and that truly isn't what I'm trying to do, but these statistics definitely deserve a bit of my time. It seems more than a third of iPhone users are under the impression that they own a 4G device.
It isn't right to pigeon-hole people, but it does seem iPhone users tend not to know much about the device. We often hear people say, "The iPhone is the best phone!" And don't you hate it when you're trying to explain what Android is to someone and they say, "Oh, like the iPhone?" Some people do provide a good argument as to why they think the iPhone is a better option than an Android device. Sadly, though, it seems the common consumer falls prey to the "common knowledge" that the iPhone is superior.
It seems the common consumer (non-techies) will often purchase an iPhone when looking for a high-end smartphone, especially new smartphone users. This is partly due to the fame Apple has built for itself and its user-friendly atmosphere. iPhone users blindly love their device so much, 40% of iPhone owners claimed they would buy the next iPhone even if the device does not have 4G connectivity. We know you love your devices, and the iPhone is definitely a good option for many, but it really doesn't hurt to learn at least a little bit about your phone.
According to Retrevo's survey, 34% of iPhone users who answered this questionnaire claim to have a 4G device. This may be due to the fact that the latest device is called "iPhone 4," where the number represents the generation of the device. Some people might be under the misconception that the number 4 represents "4G," but it seems outrageous to think over a third of iPhone users fall under this category!
Just to make it clear, Apple currently does not offer any 4G devices. Come on, Apple fans. Learn a bit more about your phone before you make the jump. We understand processors, RAM and other specs can be confusing, but you should definitely know if your device runs on 3G or 4G data speeds. It seems the situation is critical, so go spread the knowledge, guys! Let your iPhone-using friends know they do not have a 4G device!

You've got questions? He's got answers! Need advice?
Send your questions to Terrance: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Gay Best Friend,
I have been married to my husband for 9 years. When we met I was very impressed with how he interacted with my 2 children and they really liked him a lot. They were very excited for me to marry him. On my wedding day, as I was getting ready to leave for the church, I glanced at myself in the mirror with the, "What the hell am I doing?" look. And I knew then that I really didn't love him, but I had to go through with the wedding because I didn't want to waste everyone's time.
Anyway, as time went on we had a child together, but my husband started changing. He was not hanging out with the kids. He wasn't having much conversation with them. Over the past three years he has been withdrawn and very isolated. My 8-year old even asked him, "Daddy, do you have any friends?" And, he said no and she said, "Well, aren't you lonely with no friends?" And, he goes on to say how he doesn't need any friends and he doesn't trust anyone, etc…
Now, also for the last 3 years, I have been losing interest in him. I'm no longer physically attracted to him and his, "I don't want no friends" attitude makes me ill. I have not kissed him in years. He gets mad because I don't cuddle and hug up with him, but I just can't bring myself to do that. I have packed up on two different occasions and moved out with my three kids, leaving him with everything, but each time due to financial struggles I always have gone back. This man is clearly unhappy. I'm not having sex with him because he doesn't turn me on. We don't have conversations because when I try to hold a conversation he is so dry that I lose interest in talking to him. He has told me as recently as yesterday that he is not happy in this relationship, but he refuses to end it. And I'm at a point where I refuse to pack up the kids and uproot them anymore. So, if anyone is leaving it's going to be him.
I never knew that ending a marriage would be so damn difficult. I feel like I am stuck. And, if I say, "I want to leave," at first he'll be mad, change the banking password, order checks without my name on them, etc…. Then, he'll start begging, pleading, and crying. And that turns me off even more. I don't understand him at all. Please shed some light. – Trapped In Matrimony
"My Girl Is Dry, Literally, She Doesn't Like Anything Wet Or Moist"
Dear Ms. Trapped In Matrimony,
Girl, it's early in the day and your letter brought me all the way down. Whew! I need a pick me up. Where's my cocktail?
As I read your letter, I immediately thought of one word, "complacency." The reason neither of you will move on, or do anything about your situation is because you are complacent in it. It's an uncomfortable comfort-ability. You know, it's like an old blanket filled with holes, stains, and needs washing, but you keep throwing over you because it's so comfortable. Uhm, sweetie, that's why have stores like Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
But, I blame it all on YOU! Yup, I sure do. Because you knew the moment you were leaving to go to the church for the wedding and you had the thought, "What the hell am I doing?" And, at that moment you knew you didn't love him, but you went ahead with the wedding because you didn't want to disappoint who, again? Other folks. You didn't want to waste everyone's time. Honey, well, you've just spent 9 years in a relationship wasting your time, his time, and your children's time. And despite what you think, you have wasted other folk's time as well.
I mean, girl, girl, girl, I don't get why you two, if you're that unhappy, won't let go and get the divorce. Oh, yeah, it's because of the emotional and mental energy it takes to go get a lawyer, file the paperwork, go before a judge, sign the papers, tell the kids, tell your family members, move out of the house, start over, and wonder if you'll ever find another man again. Girl, it sounds draining just typing it. But, honey, the longer you sit in your misery, the longer the both of you will continue to bicker, despise, and be unfulfilled in your marriage. If you're not happy, move on.
I tell you, I wouldn't sit under someone who I was miserable with for 9 years just for the sake of saying I'm married. Honey, miss me! And, you need to miss yourself!
Have you two tried marriage counseling to discuss the issues and problems in your marriage? Have you gone to your pastor or minister to get spiritual counseling? What about talking to each other and discussing the problems in your marriage, and how about you being honest with him and telling him that you're not in love with him and why? Ugh! I swear y'all folks don't listen. You never have and you never will. When I say communication is the key to any relationship, COMMUNICATION is the key to any relationship. Honey, a closed mouth doesn't get fed, and you're starving just like your marriage.
As uncomfortable and uneasy as it may be, you have to communicate with your spouse and be upfront about your feelings and emotions. Chile, the man has probably figured out that you don't love him, but until you actually say it, and stop demonstrating otherwise, then he won't know for sure. And, honey, believe me when I tell you this, your actions speak louder than words. You may have left him and moved out with the kids twice before, but guess what, you moved back in with him. In his mind your actions prove to him that you love him, and that there is something there between you two.
Look, Ms. Trapped In Matrimony, I've got some things to tend to, and one of them is not you and this situation that you created for yourself. If you're not happy, then move on. Tell your husband. Explain to him everything you said to me in this letter. Chile, call a press conference with him and have him sit in that Lazy-Boy chair he sits in and read the letter verbatim to him. If you want results, then you must produce. Stop tip-toeing around your situation. Get into action and become proactive. MOVE! GET! GO! If you want your situation to change, then you've got to change. And, after you opened your mouth, said your peace (not piece like Madea), get into motion and call a lawyer, start the divorce proceedings and move forward. If the two of you can't agree on why you should be together, then it's clearly time to move on from one another. Can you imagine spending another 9 years with your husband, with no communication, no affection, no loving, no nothing? SMDH! Stick around if you want to, but you already know what you're getting. I also suggest you get into some counseling and figure out why you are such a pleaser and victim. Yes, darling, it seems you like to please folks, and don't like troubling the waters. Why are you that way? Why do you feel the need to please others? Honey you better get a backbone and stand up and speak out. If you don't you will find yourself trapped in another marriage for another 9 years wondering how you ended up back in the same place with another man you don't love. And, darling, do you even love yourself? Do you love your children? Because they are witnessing all of this and surely as I tell you, your kids will grow up to be just like you – miserable, unhappy, and stuck. Girl, BYE! – Straight From Your Gay Best Friend
Would you marry someone if you didn't love them?

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code C83
Non-follicular lymphoma
Diagnosis Code C83
Short Description: Non-follicular lymphoma
Long Description: Non-follicular lymphoma
This is the 2019 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code C83
Not Valid for Submission
The code C83 is a "header" and not valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
Neoplasms (C00–D48)
Malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue (C81-C96)
- Non-follicular lymphoma (C83)
- Malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue (C81-C96)
Information for Medical Professionals
References found for the code C83 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
- Type 1 Excludes Notes: Type 1 Excludes Notes
A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- personal history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Z85.72)
Information for Patients
Also called: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Lymphoma is a cancer of a part of the immune system called the lymph system. There are many types of lymphoma. One type is Hodgkin disease. The rest are called non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a T cell or B cell, becomes abnormal. The cell divides again and again, making more and more abnormal cells. These abnormal cells can spread to almost any other part of the body. Most of the time, doctors don't know why a person gets non-Hodgkin lymphoma. You are at increased risk if you have a weakened immune system or have certain types of infections.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can cause many symptoms, such as
- Swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fever
- Soaking night sweats
- Coughing, trouble breathing or chest pain
- Weakness and tiredness that don't go away
- Pain, swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen
Your doctor will diagnose lymphoma with a physical exam, blood tests, a chest x-ray, and a biopsy. Treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy, or therapy to remove proteins from the blood. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer. If you don't have symptoms, you may not need treatment right away. This is called watchful waiting.

I love it when you bob ya head to this
At the same time, giving the God head in the whip
I love it when I'm wit wifey, you say nothing
Right under her nose, I'm right under your clothes
And I love it
"All this love in my heart" In my heart y'all! (I got heartburn)

Mariners acquire Aaron Harang from Rockies for Steven Hensley and cash
SEATTLE – The Seattle Mariners have acquired right-handed pitcher Aaron Harang from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for right-hander Steven Hensley and cash.
The Rockies acquired Harang on April 6 when they traded catcher Ramon Hernandez to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Harang went 10-10 with a 3.61 ERA last season for the Dodgers.
The Rockies never intended to keep Harang, and the Mariners needed another starter after allowing Jon Garland to opt out of his contract this spring rather than adding him to their roster. The Rockies scooped up Garland and put him in their rotation.
Hensley was a fourth-round draft choice by the Mariners in 2008 out of Elon University. He has a 30-30 record in 123 career minor league appearances, including two at Triple-A Tacoma this season.

Zoey's Handmade Haven
Name: Zoey Kumiko (5 months)
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Color Inspiration: One of the first gifts I received when I found out I was pregnant with Zoey was a box of Charley Harper memory cards. I thought they were just darling! Graphic drawings, adventurous colors and best of all-- it was easy on mommy's eyes! I envisioned her room to have the same feel-- playful and inviting, yet sophisticated in its own inspiring way. I ended up framing some of the cards and they now find their home on top of an antique kitchen hutch that my husband and I turned into a bookshelf.
Tip for Using Color: Don't go too matchy-matchy. Be open to new colors-- even if they don't fit in with your original plan. You might surprise yourself! :) Half the things in her room I got not knowing exactly how I was going to use them, but determined to make them work somewhere! I handpicked items based on how their individual colors, patterns and design fit together as a single entity-- not because they had the same shade of mustard yellow! An emerald side chair at a garage sale, 2 yards of Amy Butler fabric in tangerine and a slew of Liberty of London fabric storage bins in three different color combinations. Friends sometimes comment "I never thought of using those colors together!"
I ended up with an elegant room full of vibrant colors that all work together, oh-so-well! Don't just pick what you like... wait for something you absolutely love! Zoey's room is my own haven...my happy place. I hope she grows to feel the same way about it!
Colors Used: Robin's egg blue and mustard yellow were my initial color inspiration. But eventually I added many variations of fuscia, dusty rose, emerald green and tangerine. To give the room some uniformity amidst the schmorgesborg of colors-- I chose to keep all of the furniture (minus the lovely green chair) a variety of antique white and the hardware a dark walnut color.
Thanks for your colorful entry Andy and good luck!

"Just in time for the bicentennial observance of Charles Darwin's birth, a new survey of Louisiana residents shows 40 percent of the respondents believe evolution is not well-supported by evidence or generally accepted within the scientific community," the Baton Rouge Advocate (April 14, 2009) reports.
John Holdren, the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology, told the ScienceInsider blog (April 8, 2009) that the recent adoption in Texas of a flawed set of state science standards was "a step backward."
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott appeared as a guest on the first hour of NPR's Science Friday show on April 10, 2009.
Two projects to celebrate the Darwin anniversaries — the bicentennial of Darwin's birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of On the Origin of Species — are soliciting video contributions.

text: Culture 5 May 2013 Childlike in the best way – The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil Stephen Collins' debut graphic novel, reviewed. Print HTML Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil Stephen CollinsJonathan Cape, 240pp, £16.99 Stephen Collins is the creator of what is perhaps my favourite newspaper cartoon ever. Published in the Guardian last year, it features Michael Gove and David Cameron arguing about how best to respond to an alien invasion. The caricatures are spot-on, the "acting" (as it were) tells as much as the words, and the humour is a finely balanced mixture of political satire and nonsensical lunacy. It's what I imagine Steve Bell's If… feels like for people who've been reading it non-stop for thirty years, the only subsection of society able to get the the byzantine in-jokes, and well-enough inured against the scatological puns to survive them. So I was excited to see Collins' debut graphic novel arrive on my desk. It's less political than some of his strips, focusing instead on the absurdist humour that makes pieces like I tried to cancel my gym membership and Don't wake up work so well; but despite the fact that there's no politicians caricatured, it still reads as a fable for our times. Dave lives Here. The important thing about Here is that it's an island in the middle of The Sea, and somewhere past the edge of The Sea is There. The people of Here don't like There. Because Here is orderly, neat, and predictable, and There is everything Here isn't. But Here is also beardless. So when Dave – Dave who makes charts for a company whose business he doesn't understand, Dave who is completely bald save for one thick hair on his lip, Dave who has listened to the Bangles' Eternal Flame 427,096,483 times – suddenly sprouts an enormous beard that can't be cut, won't stop growing, and just seems slightly evil, Here goes mad over it. The book is rendered in soft pencil, black and white throughout, but printed to a huge size (almost bookshelf-busting, so be warned there), which gives Collins a chance to express tremendous versatility. The orderly nature of Here in the early half of the book is expressed with a high – almost Chris-Ware-high at times – panel count, and as the squares of the panels blur into the lines of the grid system of houses, the sort of world Dave lives in becomes apparent. And then, after one full-page spread early on shows the windowless walls of the houses on the coast of Here facing out to the sea, we see our first glimpse of There. The panel boarders drop away, and drawn in black on top of black is the chaos the residents fear. As well as high panel counts, the huge book allows Collins to use another effect to great success: a couple of pages in the book are nearly blank, except for one speech balloon or caption. It's a relatively standard technique, except that as the pages get bigger, the text has been shrunk – leading to a feeling of the reader drowning in the absence of information. Something which Dave, faced with his inexplicable beard, knows only too well. The obligatory art paragraphs also can't end without a mention of the book's coda. It's hard to discuss in too much detail – the story's not plot-heavy, but it still wouldn't do to give away the ending – but as a character leaves hand-drawn pictures behind on their journey, we see the last few notes found, pasted into a scrapbook and illustrating, maddeningly vaguely, what came next for them. The pictures fade to black, and then, in the very last one, a hint of something else appears… Taken overall, it reminds me of nothing so much as a Roald Dahl novel: a surreal premise, presented as matter-of-factly as possible, which, if you buy into it – as children do naturally, and adults who know whats-what do too – presents the opportunity for a piece of strong character work. This isn't a book for children, the oblique references to the Bangles and self-help gurus make that clear, but it is childlike in the best way. Which is what you'd expect from a man who drew a cartoon about the High Speed Beyoncé, really. › Osborne will struggle to debate the IMF head-on Alex Hern is a technology reporter for the Guardian.

The 2012 NFL scouting combine wrapped up on Tuesday, which means that many draftniks throughout the blogosphere promptly released their revised mock drafts on Wednesday. The looming free agent period, which starts in two weeks, will shake up these mock drafts even more. But in the meantime, here is a quick roundup of the NFL prospects the Ravens are being linked to in these post-combine first round projections.
--- Peter Schrager, FOX Sports: Peter Konz, C/G, Wisconsin. "With Ben Grubbs' future unknown, the Ravens could have a bit of work to do on their offensive line this offseason. I like Konz, the anchor of a very good Wisconsin offensive line that straight up mauled opponents throughout the 2011 season. Though the Ravens defense isn't getting any younger, they'd be wise to draft Konz, another young, talented offensive lineman to protect Joe Flacco."
Vensel's take: Schrager is not alone in this projection. More than half of the mock drafts I found had the Ravens picking Konz at No. 29, which made it a challenge to find other players for this roundup. But Konz would make sense, even if Matt Birk is with the Ravens in 2012. They aren't the kind of franchise that waits until a need is pressing; they are always a step ahead and would be wise to draft a center early in April's draft.
--- Chad Reuter, NFL Network: Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama. "The Ravens need depth at linebacker, and Upshaw could fill multiple roles in that scheme because of his strength in the run game. He showed average speed and flexibility in Indianapolis, but teams will review the tape again when they return to their office and see that he's just a solid football player."
Vensel's take: I would be surprised if Upshaw lasts until the Ravens' pick, but if so, I would imagine they would give him some serious consideration. Jarret Johnson, 30, is a free agent and Sergio Kindle hasn't lived up to expectations. Plus, like Johnson, Upshaw played at Alabama, the alma mater of Ravens G.M. Ozzie Newsome.
--- Walter Cherepinsky, Walter Football: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State. "Bryant McKinnie did a decent job at left tackle this year, but he'll be 33 in September, and with his skills eroding, he can't be counted on much longer. Despite a sub-par showing at the Combine, Mike Adams is arguably the top prospect on the board, so Baltimore could select him to be the long-term bookend tackle across from Michael Oher."
Vensel's take: If the Ravens can get a long-term left tackle at No. 29, they should jump at the opportunity as McKinnie is a stopgap solution and Oher has settled in at right tackle. Adams disappointed in spandex at the scouting combine, especially on the bench press, which could cause his stock to drop. But the Ravens have always relied on game tape and scouting to tell a player's story, so if they think Adams can play, they will take him.
--- Steve Wyche, NFL.com: Mark Barron, SS, Alabama. "He's is a big hitter at 213 pounds, but he also has some coverage skills, which are needed in this division featuring so many receiving threats with the Steelers and Bengals."
Vensel's take: The Ravens usually stick with the best-player-available philosophy and the obvious Alabama ties are here, too, but if they are going to take a safety early in the draft, it should be a free safety as Ed Reed turns 34 this year. Still, if Barron -- seen by many as a top-20 talent -- drops, the Ravens could break his fall.

The Caldwell in question is not Jim, but David who is just now finishing his fifth season with the Falcons as the director of player personnel. Caldwell does have some ties to the Colts though, where he was a youngster learning as a scout for Bill Polian. When Dmitroff took over in Atlanta, Caldwell spent 2008-11 as the Falcons college scouting director, helping GM Tom Dimitroff draft well over that period with picks like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Sean Witherspoon and even the now surging Sam Baker. Caldwell was promoted last offseason to replace Les Snead, who left to take the top job in Saint Louis.
Caldwell would be an interesting candidate, but he's already interviewed at Jacksonville and will interview with the Chargers soon.
I like to see that the theme that's emerging so far from the Jets is that they are trying to peel off a younger candidate for the job from a more consistent and successful program. Gamble with the Niners, Ross with the Giants, Caldwell with the Falcons ... they all have that common thread between them.

A taxi-driving judge attempts to keep his promise to return home with a birthday cake for his young daughter while contending with everyday life in occupied territory and doing his best to keep unruly passengers in check. Abu Laila is a judge, though despite being invited to practice in Palestine bureaucracy has prevented him from procuring his papers.
Today is his daughter's birthday, and if he can somehow maintain his sanity amidst the chaos of the outside world he plans to buy her a cake so they can celebrate later that evening.
Cigarettes are banned from Abu's cab, as are AK-47s. And while contending with the occupiers harass him at every turn is no easy task, Abu's greatest challenge is often convincing his passengers to buckle their seatbelts.
