Over at CartoDB, Twitter has created a rolling heat map for yesterday's World Cup match, highlight USA- and Ghana-centric geotagged tweets over the nailbiting 90 minutes. It's interesting to see what cities provided the most chatter; it's fun to see America go up in flames after goals.
On the map (which can be panned and zoomed to satisfy your particularly curiosities), red indicates Ghana tweets; blue is the U.S. Here's a Vine showing the domestic tweetstorms for, in quick succession, Ghana's equalizer, John Brooks's winner, and the end of the match.
As far as volume goes, the biggest international hotspots were in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, the U.K., and, naturally, Ghana. Domestically, the map matches up well with the top 10 TV markets for the game:

Castle Cary is a small, attractive country town situated some 12 miles north-east of Yeovil and 24 miles south of Bath. It lies on the edge of rolling countryside between the Somerset Levels to the west and the high ridgeline of Penselwood to the east, halfway between the Mendip Hills and the Blackmore Vale. The main Paddington to Penzance railway line runs about a mile to the north.
The old part of Castle Cary, which is still the town centre and contains buildings like the Market House, the Round House and the old George Inn, runs along the foot of steep, grassy Lodge Hill, below where the castle used to stand. Most modern development has taken place on the gently rising land to the north, joining the town with the village of Ansford. About 2,000 people live in the town (about 3,000 including Ansford). The town is the main centre for a large area of South Somerset, with a wide range of shops and services, and free parking (unlike many other towns in the area). Castle Cary is a FairTrade town.
The aim of this website is to provide useful information about Castle Cary for residents and visitors. You can find out about the history of the town, its notable landmarks and local tourist attractions; you can consult a directory of local businesses and services, including accommodation providers; you can see details of forthcoming events, read a copy of the latest town newsletter, download copies of our tourism leaflets and find information about the Town Council and its activities.
We hope that you find this website useful. If you have any comments or suggestions for how it could be improved, please email [email protected].

The Brooklyn Nets announced probable Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd will be their new head coach. The NFL has had a plethora of stars-turned-NFL coaches. Adam Rank provides the list.
Jim Ringo
Ringo was selected to 10 Pro Bowls and was an All-NFL selection seven times for the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles. Ringo excelled as an offensive line coach for the Buffalo Bills, putting together the famed "Electric Company" line that paved the way for O.J. Simpson's record-breaking season in 1973. But Ringo struggled as the team's head coach in 1976, going 3-11.
Dick LeBeau
LeBeau played in one of the most feared secondaries in NFL history, teaming with Dick "Night Train" Lane, Yale Lary and Lem Barney for the Detroit Lions. LeBeau struggled as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, but his legacy will be as the innovator of the "zone blitz" and possibly the greatest defensive coordinator of all time.
Mike McCormack
McCormack was a long-time offensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns, helping pave the way for Browns' running back Jim Brown. McCormack was a successful assistant coach, and he got his chance to be the head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1973. He lasted three seasons, going 16-25-1. McCormack had a stint as coach of the Baltimore Colts, going 9-23 from 1980-81. Finally, McCormack coached the Seattle Seahawks during the strike season of 1982, taking over for Jack Patera to post a 4-3 record.
Norm Van Brocklin
Van Brocklin was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection for the Rams and Philadelphia Eagles, and he teamed up with Bob Waterfield in 1951 to lead Los Angeles to its first NFL championship. Van Brocklin thought that he was the heir apparent to retiring Eagles coach Buck Shaw, but instead he took over the expansion Minnesota Vikings in 1961. Van Brocklin went 29-51-4 as coach and famously feuded with quarterback Fran Tarkenton during that time. Van Brocklin would coach the Atlanta Falcons from 1968-1974 to post a record of 37-48-3.
Bob Waterfield
Waterfield was the first rookie to win the NFL's MVP award with the Rams in 1945 and was known for his long bombs on the field and leading the team to two NFL titles (1945 and 1951). Waterfield did not fare as well as coach of the Los Angeles Rams, lasting three seasons with a record of 9-24-1.
Tom Fears
Fears was the beneficiary of many of Bob Waterfield's passes, and he also was a part of the Cleveland Rams' championship team in 1951. Fears also struggled as coach of the New Orleans Saints from 1967 to 1970, posting a winning percentage of just .277. Fears also coached the Southern California Sun of the World Football League from 1974 to 1975.
Clyde "Bulldog" Turner
The Bulldog was the top center and linebacker of his era, playing 13 seasons for the Chicago Bears. And you know when the New York Jets play in those horrible Titans throwbacks? Turner was the coach of those New York Titans in 1962, posting a 5-9 record.
Jack Christiansen
Christiansen's playing career did not intersect with Dick LeBeau, but he was a member of those famed Lions teams of the 1950s. Christiansen coached the San Francisco 49ers from 1963 to 1967, posting a 26-38-3 record. After that, he had a winning record at Stanford from 1972 to 1976 before returning to be an NFL assistant coach.
Bart Starr
Starr was one of the NFL's all-time top winners. He led the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships and was selected as the MVP of the first two Super Bowls. But his winning ways did not translate as an NFL coach. Starr guided the Packers from 1975 to 1983, and he went 52-76-3. He did lead the Packers to the playoffs in 1982 and even won a game in the expanded NFL playoff tournament that year, but he was dismissed in 1983 after going 8-8.
Otto Graham
Some might argue that Graham is the greatest quarterback in NFL history. He is if you count championships -- Graham won seven professional championships as quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. Graham won four titles in the All-American Football Conference and three in the NFL. In six NFL seasons, he led the Browns to six title games. Graham coached the Washington Redskins from 1966 to 1968, but he could not recapture the same magic he had as a player. Graham went 17-22-3. He was replaced by Vince Lombardi.
Sammy Baugh
Slingin' Sammy was one of the premier quarterbacks in NFL history, but he was so much more than just a signal-caller. Baugh set 13 NFL records in three player positions: quarterback, punter and defensive back. Baugh was the first coach of the New York Titans in 1961 and 1962. He also coached the Houston Oilers in 1964 and finished with a career winning percentage of .429.
Forrest Gregg
Gregg was a teammate of Bart Starr with the Green Bay Packers, and he was chosen to replace him as coach in 1984. Gregg previously had served as head coach of the Cleveland Browns (1975 to 1977) and Cincinnati Bengals (1980 to 1983). Gregg helped lead the Bengals to their first Super Bowl appearance in 1981, but they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XVI, 26-21. Gregg had a lifetime winning percentage of .469.
Mike Singletary
Remember how disastrous Singletary's NFL coaching career was? Singletary's NFL coaching career started off with a bang when he sent Vernon Davis to the locker room during the middle of a San Francisco 49ers game. But the same intensity he showed as a player failed to make him a long-term success as a coach.
Art Shell
Late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis once said that firing Shell as coach of the Raiders in 1994 was the biggest mistake he made. Well, his second biggest was hiring Shell, again, to coach the Raiders in 2006. Shell went 54-38 after taking over for Mike Shanahan in 1988. He lasted only one season in his reboot, struggling to a 2-14 mark. Still, he holds an impressive .519 career winning percentage.
Raymond Berry
Berry was so intent on being a good receiver, he once asked Baltimore Colts teammate Johnny Unitas to stay after practice and throw him some "bad balls." After Unitas declined, Berry instead had his wife throw him passes. Berry's top performance came in the 1958 NFL Championship Game when he had 12 receptions for 178 yards and a touchdown. Berry was a winner as a head coach too. Berry went 48-39 as coach of the New England Patriots (1984 to 1989) and led the team to the AFC championship in 1985, but they lost to the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX.
Joe Schmidt
Schmidt spent his entire playing and coaching career with the Detroit Lions. Schmidt was a member of the famed Lions teams of the 1950s and, when his playing career ended in 1965, he became the team's head coach in 1967. Schmidt retired from coaching after the 1972 season with a career mark of 43-35-7, a nice .558 record for the Lions.
Mike Ditka
After a Hall of Fame playing career that included stints with the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, "Iron" Mike Ditka served as an assistant coach for Tom Landry and the Dallas Cowboys from 1973 to 1981. The Bears hired Ditka as coach in 1982, and a legend was born. Ditka led the Bears to six NFC Central titles, but the highlight of his coaching career came in the Bears' 46-10 drubbing of another Hall of Famer turned coach, Raymond Berry, in Super Bowl XX. Ditka's Bears went 106-62 during his tenure. His coaching record took a hit during an ill-advised three years as coach of the New Orleans Saints. Or maybe it was just the trade for Ricky Williams that was ill-advised. Still, he is our leader in the clubhouse for Hall of Fame players turned coaches.

The Grange Staircase
August 30th, 2010
In the main hall of The Grange today (the first home of the AGO), visitors can appreciate the elegant lines of the staircase that sweeps up to the second floor. However, this staircase was not original to The Grange when it was built in 1817 for the family of prominent local lawyer and politician D'Arcy Boulton.
In 1885, Harriette Bolton Smith and Goldwin Smith replaced the Georgian style staircase in their main hall, with a heavy, angular Victorian staircase. By the late 1960s, The Grange was restored to how it would have looked in the 1830s. The restoration architect replaced the Victorian staircase with the current free-standing style, reinforced with steel and decorative brass balusters.
More information on The Grange can be found here.

Libya aims to start signing major oil and gas contracts with international oil companies (OICs) by next June, the chairman of Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) said in an interview published on Monday.
Ahmad Abdulkarim Ahmad told the Cyprus-based Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) that detailed negotiations are planned for early January and agreements scheduled to be signed with firms by mid-2001.
The areas open for investment include the whole spectrum of the oil and gas industry in Libya, with a focus on the development and export of natural gas, the NOC chairman said.
A total of 137 blocks covering 835,000 square kilometers (334,000 square miles) are being opened to foreign companies for exploration in production-sharing agreements, according to MEES.
Libya hosted a conference in May attended by 49 IOCs, mainly from Europe but also from Canada, Asia and the Middle East. US sanctions against Tripoli in effect since 1986 have so far kept American companies out of the bidding.
MEES said Libya's current oil production capacity was estimated at 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd), a figure expected to rise to two million bpd in two years.
Participants at a Tripoli economic conference last week noted that Libya needs to attract 35 billion dollars of investment to carry out a five-year development plan due to start next year.
In April 1999, the United Nations ended seven years of sanctions on Libya imposed for Tripoli's long refusal to hand over two Libyans suspects in the 1988 bombing of a US airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people -- NICOSIA (AFP)

Philips LED Globe - Brighter and more stylish - 12763X2
Strong, durable and vibrant LED signaling.
For safe and modern driving, change to intense amber Philips X-tremeUltinon LED turn
signals [~WY21W]. They are powerful, precise and look good so you can signal in safety
and with style.
Bright and vibrant signals
Signaling the intended movement of your vehicle is
vital to your safety. To avoid collisions, other people
need to know what you're doing. And when poor
weather conditions reduce visibility, the need for
bright and vibrant signaling becomes even more
important. Philips X-tremeUltinon LED signaling
lights provide you with bright daylight effect and up
to 6000K for reverse and positioning lights. With
more intense colors for turn and stop applications,
instantly on LEDs and a uniform and well-directed
light, you'll give other drivers vital extra time to react
to your movements.
Stylish signaling colors
While the main goal of exterior lighting is to help you
see and be seen, there's no reason why you
shouldn't look good at the same time. If you're
looking to upgrade your style, without buying a
newer car, replacing your exterior lighting with LEDs
is a smart way to spend your money. Upgrade your
exterior lighting with a more intense red for stop
lights, a vibrant amber for turning signals and bright
white light for positioning and reversing. Your car is
an expression of who you are, so make a style
statement with Philips exterior signaling LED lights.
Intense amber turn signals
Philips LED turn signals feature vibrant amber color
performance that make your intentions clear to
surrounding traffic. Amber intense means more
safety for you and others around you.
Uniform light distribution
Philips LED exterior lighting range is designed for a
smarter light distribution to ensure that exterior
signaling light is projected where you need it
(whether that's reversing, stopping, or signaling).
With wide angle and uniform light diffusion, not only
can you can see more of the road, other drivers can
see more of you.
Automotive grade quality
The technologically advanced Philips lighting is
renowned in the automotive industry, and has been
for over 100 years. The Philips Automotive Grade
Quality products are designed and developed
following strict quality control processes (including
applicable ISO norms), leading to consistently high
production standards. Major car manufacturers
choose Philips lamps, because when you buy Philips,
you buy quality. You get powerful bright light, and
precise beam performance. You get high-end style.
And you get an advanced LED lighting system for a
safer, smoother and more enjoyable drive.
Ready, steady, installed!
Designed to be easily installed in compatible vehicles,
drivers with maintenance experience will be able to
upgrade compatible lights with ease. However, it's
recommended that you get your new Philips XtremeUltinon
LED lights installed by specialist
mechanics – they will make sure you're ready to go.
While these lamps are compatible with a wide range
of existing car models, not all car types are
Long-lasting LED lighting
You want bright and stylish car lights. But you don't
want to keep replacing failed lamps. That is a major
weakness of conventional headlights; the more
powerful the light, the shorter its lifespan. At the
same light intensity, LEDs last much longer. And
Philips X-tremeUltinon LED lights are extremely
durable. Due to the latest technological innovation,
they prevent heat and vibrational damage and last up
to 12 years. With most cars replaced or upgraded
within that time, your stylish new lights should last
you the lifetime of your car.

Left, right invoke King to own ends
What would Martin Luther King Jr. think of gays, drones and Republicans?
It's anyone's guess, of course.
Story Continued Below
But that isn't stopping groups spanning the ideological spectrum and representing an array of interests from seizing on the 50th anniversary of his march on Washington to champion their individual causes — no matter how tenuous the nexus to King's legacy of battling racial injustice might seem.
( PHOTOS: Scenes from March on Washington)
Everyone wants a piece of the King action, which started Saturday with a march retracing the 1963 route and continues Wednesday with a day of speeches commemorating the civil rights icon at the Lincoln Memorial.
Gun control advocates who have been protesting Florida's so-called stand your ground laws trekked north to participate. Advocates for D.C. statehood held a rally at the District of Columbia War Memorial. The Republican National Committee is hosting a luncheon Monday to discuss the party's outreach to African-Americans.
Even Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban hosted auditions in Washington last week for minority small business owners to be on his TV show, "Shark Tank." Organizers explained that it corresponds with "a new shift in the movement from civil rights to economic rights."
( Also on POLITICO: Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr.)
Martin Luther King III, the civil rights leader's oldest living child, said he's not concerned that all of this dilutes his father's core message. His goal this week, he said, is "to arouse a new coalition of conscience" that can counter the energy of the tea party movement.
King III said the recent Supreme Court ruling dismantling a key part of the Voting Rights Act, as well as rising income inequality and the Trayvon Martin shooting, have reminded communities of color that they need to protest in the streets and lobby Congress for action.
"This is not a commemoration, but it is a continuation of the movement that my father helped lead," he told POLITICO.
( Also on POLITCO: Race against time on MLK memorial)
But the run-up to the anniversary has exposed disagreement over what exactly continuing the movement means.
Alveda King worries that tying specific social causes to her uncle diminishes his overarching significance. She said he was "an imperfect human who served a perfect God" and wants the celebrations to focus on a unifying message of love.
"There are so many definitions of, 'What does civil rights mean?' … It's a natural thing that people would say, 'Surely this is what Martin Luther King was marching for,'" said Alveda King, who has her own ministry and is active in a group called Priests for Life. "Fifty years have showed us that fighting for causes will not unite us."
The debate over whether King would have embraced gay marriage as the next front for civil rights, for example, is particularly tense.
The gay community has closely aligned itself with the tributes. Multiple events honor the late Bayard Rustin, who helped organize the 1963 march and was openly gay, and a coalition of more than 40 groups signed an open letter calling for "clear federal laws barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."
"At the end of the day, what we're really talking about here is marginalization," said MacArthur Flournoy, the director of faith partnership and mobilization for the LGBT-focused Human Rights Campaign. "I see our communities coming together. We cannot afford to live in silos."
President Barack Obama, of course, endorsed gay marriage last year, and the NAACP followed suit shortly after. But many African-Americans still oppose gay marriage. Grammy-winning gospel singer Donnie McClurkin was supposed to perform last weekend at a concert at the King Memorial but said he was uninvited by the mayor of Washington after a few activists complained that he once called being gay "a curse."
"It's bullying. It's discrimination. It's intolerance," McClurkin said in a video posted online. "This is a civil rights infringement."
King himself never spoke out firmly for or against gays. The Supreme Court did not even strike down laws banning interracial marriage until 1967. King's wife, Coretta Scott King, said before she died that her husband probably would have supported gay rights.

Introduction to dissolved oxygen
Why is oxygen important? For us humans, if we have oxygen, we survive...yay! If not, we don't...boo. So, superficially, this may not seem like a very important parameter to know - you either have oxygen, or you don't. However, for many microorganisms, there are a lot of shades of gray.
For a bacteria or a yeast, different amounts of oxygen produce different results. For instance, starving a yeast cell of oxygen produces ethanol as a metabolite product instead of carbon dioxide. Starving a lake of oxygen not only prevents fishies from living in it, but also promotes the formation of large algae surfaces. Cool, right?
The biggest problem with measuring dissolved oxygen currently is the cost of the equipment available to do it. Typically, dissolved oxygen probes run well into the $400+ range, thus placing them well out of the realm of hobbyists. The cost is not wholly unwarranted - dissolved oxygen meters used a platinum catalyzed reaction with very specific membranes to measure oxygen response. By cutting out the platinum catalyst and the specialized membrane, the cost of a DO meter could drop considerably...enter the optode!
Building a dissolved oxygen probe
How an optode works
In order to reduce cost, we'll be building a dissolved oxygen optode instead of the more common dissolved oxygen electrode.
In an electrode, a small change in a voltage or current is used to detect a change in oxygen concentration. In an optode, a small change in light intensity is used to detect

Careers rarely develop the way we plan them. Our career path often takes many twists and turns, with particular events, choices and people influencing our direction.
We asked Stacey Bradley from Forestry Careers Ireland to give some advice for people considering this job:
Get as much experience on the ground as you can. Being able to work well with GIS and large amounts of data is also extremely beneficial. Maintain a willingness to learn about forestry and technology.
Administrative people are interested in work that offers security and a sense of being part of a larger process. They may be at their most productive under supervisors who give clear guidelines and while performing routine tasks in a methodical and reliable way.
They tend to enjoy clerical and most forms of office work, where they perform essential administrative duties. They often form the backbone of large and small organisations alike. They may enjoy being in charge of office filing systems, and using computers and other office equipment to keep things running smoothly. They usually like routine work hours and prefer comfortable indoor workplaces.

According to a talk Kellee Santiago from That Game Company gave at the GDC, flOw was almost a Wii title. This sent waves through the gaming community, and everyone sounded off on the loss that Nintendo suffereed. Here is the quote from Joystiq that got everyone up in arms:
"That was the hardest decision we ever had to make, choosing between Sony and Nintendo," admitted Santiago. Speaking during the Q & A, Santiago clarified that "they weren't right for us at the time. Sony kind of came to us with the process of incubation... They helped us get our studio started." Nintendo did not approach them; the team actually cornered them about Cloud at a prior Game Developers Conference. FlOw creator Jenova Chen chimed in, saying "in the end, we are game makers and not console makers," expressing his satisfaction working with Nintendo on other projects. That Game Company did not rule out working on the Wii in the future.
Everyone seems to be upset that Nintendo didn't pick up the game, and while I agree that the game would have been a good fit for the Wii, overall the game benefits from its place on Sony's system. The Sixaxis was able to handle the motion controls well and the creatures in the game handle fluidly. That's not to say that the controls are better than what we might have gotten on the Wii, but they certainly aren't bad either. It takes a little getting used to, sure, but the Sixaxis rises to the challenge. The game didn't lose anything in the control department.
What the game did gain by going to the PS3 was high resolution. Now, I know some people are going to jump on me for this because game play should always trump graphics—this is the common stance—but if the game play is going to be the same on both systems, I'd much rather the game to go to the system where it will look better. flOw came from an online flash game that you can still play, but the PS3 version features such a stunning face lift in terms of graphics and sound that it really does elevate the entire experience. flOw played on a large, high-definition television is a great experience, in no small part because the graphics are so crisp and clear. Would it have looked good on the Wii? Sure. Does it look better on the PS3 than what the Wii is capable of right now? Yes.
I think the game fits better on the PS3, and artistically, Sony's console was able to offer flOw what it needed to really shine. I'm happy with the decision and feel that flOw might have been compromised somewhat on a less powerful system. In this case the technology really did help the art.

You have choices.
If you're considering a cash out refinance to cover the cost of home improvements, credit card debt, or unexpected medical expenses, we at American Pacific Mortgage are here to help.
To get cash from your home, you can do a couple of things. You can get a home equity line of credit (Heloc), or you can refinance your mortgage and get extra cash at closing through a cash-out refinance.
What is home equity? Equity is your ownership in your home, or the difference between what your home is worth and what you owe on your mortgage.
You can build and increase the equity in your home in the following ways:

How much cash can you get from your home? Our mortgage calculator can show you how much your monthly payments would be with a new loan or additional home equity line of credit. Apply online to get cash from your home today.
Wondering about your options? Our American Pacific Mortgage loan advisors can go over all of your refinance options to help you discover solutions that might work for you and your cash needs. We will show you the difference between a cash out refinance compared to a home equity line of credit so you can confidently choose the program for you. Find an advisor to show you how to get cash from your home and guide you through the refinance process.
Refinance your existing mortgage and receive the cash equity from your home. A Fixed Rate term, will give you the peace of mind knowing that your rates and payments will remain the same throughout the life of your new loan. If rates drop lower in the future, you can always refinance to get a lower monthly payment.
Refinance with an Adjustable Rate for even lower interest and monthly payments for a determined period of time. If you have short term goals and want to maximize your available cash for the initial interest rate period, an Adjustable Rate may help you reach them.
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to draw and pay interest only on an amount that you need. Instead of taking all your equity out at once, you can have a draw period of many years in which you can access your cash when you need it. A HELOC typically only requires an interest only payment during the draw period, making it a flexible tool when you want to borrow only the amount you need when you need it.
A Home Equity Loan is a one time loan with a fixed interest rate and the same payments each month, paid off over a determined amount of time. When you know exactly how much you need for a one time purchase, bill, or repair, a Home Equity Loan can be a valuable tool to access a lump sum.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Bulgaria's chief prosecutor has closed a probe into one of the most notorious killings of the Cold War, saying that after 35 years a dissident's murder with a poison-tipped umbrella has reached the statute of limitations.
Georgi Markov, a journalist and government critic who fled Bulgaria and settled in the U.K., was jabbed in the thigh with an umbrella tip on Sep. 7, 1978 as he waited for a bus at London's Waterloo Bridge. He developed a fever and died four days later.
Suspicion fell on the Bulgarian secret police, but no one has been arrested or charged in the case.
Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov said Thursday that his office was ready to provide legal assistance to British authorities. There is no statute of limitations on murder in the U.K.

On a trip to Canton Lake Oklahoma we ran into a bunch or a flock of American White Pelican this is a few of the photos of one i took.
There are about ten species of pelicans distributed through out the world, mostly confined to those countries having warm climates. Three of the species inhabit North America.
These once-scarce pouched birds appear in Oklahoma and the numbers have been on the increase since the 1960s. They are often found in large flocks on reservoirs and rivers across most of the state during migration from early February – May and early September – November.
In 1838 Audubon gave this species the specific name American. In writing of the naming of this species he notes: "In consequence of this discovery, I have honored it with the name of my beloved country, over the mighty streams of which may this splendid bird wander free and unmolested to the most distant times, as it has already done in the misty ages of unknown antiquity."
Adult white pelicans, Pelecanus erythrorhynchos, are one of the largest birds weighing 16 pounds with an impressive 9-foot wing span. One must look closely at the birds as they ride the heat thermals on clear days to realize they are pelicans. While flying they seem to soar in unison, each flapping their wings at the same time while circling ever so higher. They are truly an amazing bird to watch in flight.
Pelicans are often mistaken for snow geese, swans and whooping cranes by the novice birder. Their distinct black primary and outer secondary feathers are sure indicators as to what they are. At a closer view you will notice they have a tucked neck an orange bill, legs, and feet. The final distinguishing characteristic is their stocky build giving them an all-together different profile than other birds.
White pelicans fish in groups by floating atop the water. They use their feet and wings to corral fish. Instead of diving they simply dip their heads below the surface to troll for rough fish such as gizzard shad. They scoop the fish up in their elastic pouch. Most feeding takes place during the early morning and early evening hours. An average. pelican will consume three pounds of fish per day.
Pelicans nest in colonies on sandbars, islands, and since the peninsulas in remote, undisturbed areas. Their breeding range extends from the prairies of Canada into the mountain states, to the Gulf Coast of Texas and Mexico. Preferred nesting habitats are islands, especially those associated with fresh water lakes. They forage primarily in shallow lakes, marshlands, and rivers.
Birds that are mature enough to reproduce will develop "nuptial tubercles," or large ridges on top of their bills, and ornamental plumes atop their head. Once chick feeding begins, the ridges fall off and the birds develop black feathers on the back of the head. Their eye color also changes from dark to light as their breeding status changes.
Nests are built as ground depressions lined with dried vegetation. Pelicans lay an average of two eggs and incubate them using their feet since they don't have the typical "brood patch" of bare skin on the belly. White pelican chicks hatch helpless, with homely, orange skin. They eat by digging digested food out of the adult's pouch. As chicks mature, they join a "pod" or "gang" and feed in large groups until they are ready to fly at about 10 weeks.
Avid bird watchers and novice bird watchers alike flock to the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge every September to participate in their week long Pelican celebration. Approximately 50,000-70,000 White Pelicans use the Salt Plains as a rest stop during their fall migration. It is an incredible site that everyone should see at least once.

Cops: Abington store clerk fends off armed robbers with baseball bat
Provan, Harrington to be in court Friday
Two Weymouth men who attempted to hold up an Abington convenience store early Friday morning a few hours after they robbed a Weymouth car wash at gunpoint have been arrested, police said.
Abington Police Chief David Majenski said detectives arrested Jon Harrington, 42, and Bruce Provan, 38, at their homes. Harrington was arrested in the predawn hours Friday, and Provan was taken into custody at about 8:30 a.m.
Images: Clerk strikes back with baseball bat
Both are charged with armed robbery in connection with an incident at a 711 store at 3:45 a.m. Friday. The men fled the store after the clerk fought back with a baseball bat.
Harrington was scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Brockton District Court.
Provan was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries he got when the clerk hit him with the bat, police said. He'll be arraigned at a later date.
The earlier robbery took place at the Super Shine car wash on Main Street in South Weymouth at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
Majenski said the pair are believed to have allegedly committed both robberies because the suspects' descriptions were similar, and a handgun was shown in both cases.

Lymphedema Program
Click here to Download our brochure
Patients with major medical illnesses such as cancer may also be at risk for lymphedema, a swelling that typically occurs in the extremities. To ease lymphedema discomfort, Little Company of Mary Hospital (LCMH) offers advanced treatment from physical therapy experts who are specially trained as certified lymphedema specialists.
There are two types of Lymphedema: Primary and Secondary Lymphedema. Primary Lymphedema is rare and is caused by the absence of certain vessels at birth or abnormalities in the lymphatic system. Secondary Lymphedema is due to blockage or interruption of the lymphatic system, which can occur from cancer treatment. Many who deal with breast cancer develop Lymphedema due to the fact that at least two or three lymph nodes (sometimes more) are removed from under the arm for surgery. If the cancer spreads and radiation is needed, radiation can cause scarring and inflammation of lymph nodes or lymph vessels which will restrict the flow of lymph fluid.
Treatment Brings Immediate Relief
Lymphedema develops when fluids of the lymph system — the network that carries white blood cells throughout the body to fight infection — are blocked by treatments such as surgery or radiation. This causes a build-up of fluid in the lymph system, which then leads to uncomfortable or painful swelling and limited range of motion, usually in the arms, fingers, legs or toes.
Certified lymphedema specialists Janelle Trippany, D.P.T., and Charmaine Boncalon, P.T., provide intensive lymphedema services for patients who struggle with swelling that ranges from moderate to severe. "After their first lymphedema treatment many patients feel relief right away," says Boncalon. "Their affected area feels lighter and they can move easier, which means a lot when they are performing activities of daily living, such as dressing or bathing." Therapy requires a physician referral. Treatment focuses on lymphatic drainage, in which the lymphedema therapist manually redirects the buildup of fluid to help significantly reduce swelling. Therapy also includes compression bandaging of the affected area, skin care, exercises to promote lymphatic flow and an emphasis on patient education. "Intensive therapy 'gets the juices flowing and has a huge impact on patients," says Trippany. "Lymphedema is a lifelong condition, but it can be managed with appropriate care and regular follow-up.
LCMH is one of the few medical centers in the area offering cutting-edge lymphedema services. "LCMH responded to the demand for this type of care right here in the community, "says Vince Cesaro, director of Physical Therapy. "We are proud to provide specialized treatment that is convenient for patients and provides them with significant relief from qualified lymphedema experts.

Webservice::InterMine::Cookbook::List::Upload - Uploading Lists
use Webservice::InterMine;
my $service = Webservice::InterMine->get_service('www.flymine.org/query', $TOKEN);
# From a file on disk containing gene symbols (one per line).
my $file = '/path/to/some/file/somewhere.tsv';
my $list = $service->new_list(content => $file, type => 'Gene', name => 'an uploaded list');
# From an array of strings
my @symbols = qw/eve zen rudimentary Mad/;
my $list = $service->new_list(content => \@symbols, type => 'Gene', name => 'an uploaded list');
# From a query
my $query = $service->new_query(class => 'Gene');
path => 'Gene',
op => 'IN',
value => 'my other list'
path => 'Gene.length',
op => '<',
value => 2000
# The type of this list can be inferred
my $list = $service->new_list(content => $query, name => 'an uploaded list');
You can create lists associated with your account in two main ways. Either you can provide a collection of identifiers (for example gene symbols) and get the InterMine server try and unambiguously resolve them into objects in the database, or you can provide a query that specifies exactly what you want.
If you don't specify a name, a default name will be assigned, and unless the query is renamed, the list will be deleted when the program terminates.
- Uploading from files
All text in the files will be interpreted as identifiers, so you wouldn't want to, say, try to upload a gff3 file directly. Valid separators are spaces, tabs and new-lines, so you will want to quote (with either double or single quotes) and identifiers that have these characters.
- Uploading from an array of strings
These strings will be automatically quoted.
- Uploading from a query
If the query has no output columns (an empty view) the root of the query will be used to define what to save. If there are output columns, they should all be attached to the same object, and that will be used to identify the objects to save. ie:
# If used this query would save a list of one gene. my $query = $service->new_query(class => 'Gene'); $query->add_constraint(path => 'Gene.symbol', op => '=', value => 'eve'); # Adding this view would make this query save the list of proteins associated with eve. $query->add_view('Gene.proteins.name');
- Duplicates and Conversions
These will be ignored. See Webservice::InterMine::Cookbook::IdResolution for ways to deal with these issues.
Lists can be created from a variety of sources.
- Webservice::InterMine::Service
- Webservice::InterMine::List
- Webservice::InterMine::ListManager
- Webservice::InterMine::Query
- Webservice::InterMine::Query::Roles::Listable

With October being Coming Out Month, I thought I would re-introduce a subgroup in our LGBTQ community that is too often forgotten and/or ignored -- lesbians, bisexual, and transgender women of African descent.
I want to re-introduce this group because a groundbreaking study in July came out titled "Black Lesbians Matter" examining the unique experiences, perspectives, and priorities of the Black LBT community, and sadly little is known about it.
This report reveals that LBT women of African descent are among the most vulnerable in our society and need advocacy in the areas of financial security, healthcare, access to education, and marriage equality.
The study is akin to a census conducted over several months in 2009-2010 where 1,596 LBT women from regional, statewide, and local organizations in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Denver, and also through an on-line survey participated. The study focused on five key areas: health, family/parenting, identity, aging, and invisibility.
Key findings of the survey revealed the following:
• Health -- There is a pattern of higher suicide rates among us. Scholars have primarily associated these higher suicide rates with one's ability to deal with "coming out."
• Family/Parenting -- 45% of Black female same-sex households include a biological child of one of the partners in their household. Anti-gay parenting policies in the United States will disproportionately affect Black LBT parents, or would-be parents.
• Identity -- In the 18-24 age group 69% are least likely to identify as lesbian. Mostly identify as queer.
• Aging -- 25% over the age of 50 live alone and fear poverty and homelessness.
• Invisibility -- 48% have been rejected and discriminated against, disclosing one's identity in the workplace leading to exclusion from company events, and even termination.
It's clear the survey brings to the forefront information from a traditionally marginalized group, highlighting the needs and concerns defined by the community. But Zuna is the first to gather the data on us.
Although Zuna Institute has been around since 1999, people still ask who they are.
In the inimitable way that black women's kitchens function as "think tanks" on social justice and civil rights issues, birthing numerous organizations, is also how Zuna Institute was founded. Zuna is the first of its kind in becoming a national organization providing services to the Black LBT community. Believing that the development of a healthy Black LBT identity can only come about by advocating specifically for LBT of African descent on a national level, and it would effectively eliminate the stigma and the barriers of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation discrimination we face daily, Zuna aims at bettering our quality of life by holding national conferences providing relational/social and educational resources to use for healthcare, political, and economic advocacy.
Since the 1970s there has been nearly a twenty-year hiatus since the country has seen collective black LBT activism on a national level.
However, back in the 1970s LBT women of African descent had a more prominent and visible role in queer and feminist politics. Two of the hot spots were New York and Boston.
In New York the "Salsa Soul Sisters, Third World Wimmin Inc Collective" was the first "out" women of color organization and oldest black lesbian organization in the country. Today the group is known as "African Ancestral Lesbians United for Social Change."
And in Boston the "Combahee River Collective," referring to Harriet Tubman, Conductor on the Underground Railroad, who freed 750 slaves near the Combahee River in South Carolina in 1863, was an active black feminist lesbian organization from 1974-1980. The group is most known for "The Combahee River Collective Statement," a key document in the history and shaping of black feminist thought. The document presented a new paradigm to look at oppressions by not ranking them, like race, class, gender and sexual orientation, on a hierarchy of oppression, but rather to look at them all from a multidimensional analysis, recognizing them as interlocking oppressions.
Today here in Greater Boston the ethos of the "Combahee River Collective" is continued with "Queer Women of Color and Friends" (QWOC+ Boston), a grassroots organization dedicated to creating a diverse social space for LGBTQ women of color.
Deceased African-American poet and activist Pat Parker, in her book Movement in Black, wrote about how society did not embrace her multiple identities. "If I could take all my parts with me when I go somewhere, and not have to say to one of them, 'No, you stay home tonight, you won't be welcome, because I'm going to an all-white party where I can be gay, but not Black.' Or I'm going to a Black poetry reading, and half of the poets are antihomosexual, or thousands of situations where something of what I am cannot come with me. The day all the different parts of me can come along, we would have what I would call a revolution."
After nearly two decades of LBT women of African descent's invisibility on a national level, Zuna is causing a revolution by taking the bold step in this era of single-issue queer politics to remind us all we, too, matter.

Lady Flames capture second place at competition in Atlanta
March 8, 2014 | Atlanta, Ga.
Liberty University's gymnastics team placed second out of nine teams competing Saturday at Emory University in Atlanta. It was Liberty's final official meet before it sends eight competitors to the April 2-5 National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs (NAIGC) Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn.
On Saturday, the Lady Flames had six gymnasts, joined by Liberty's only male athlete, Jonathan Baldwin, in a field of approximately 120 competitors.
"We've spent a lot of time in practices over the last couple weeks working on their overall presentation and some of the details and it all came together this weekend, so we had a great time," Liberty Head Coach Rachel Steele said. "Overall, I was very, very pleased with their performances."
The Lady Flames placed second behind only the University of Florida in a field that also included Clemson, Tennessee Tech, Florida State University, Emory, and the University of Georgia.
Individually, Liberty junior Alyssa Frost took first place on vault and third on the uneven bars, scoring enough points to finish third in the All-Around.
Lady Flames sophomore Alexandra Wescott claimed first place in the floor exercise.
"She stuck all three passes and just was really able to execute all of the new skills that she's added in her floor routine this year," Steele said.
Freshman Jessica Hogue contributed most of the rest of the scores for the Liberty and competed well in the All-Around, which also includes the balance beam.
In preparation for the NAIGC National Championships, Liberty will host an informal competition at either its facility in The Plaza or Elite Gymnastics in Lynchburg over the weekend of March 22-23.
Gymnasts from James Madison University, last season's women's national runner-up, and the University of Virginia have indicated they would compete in the event along with possibly University of North Carolina and University of Georgia.
Besides Frost, Hogue, and Wescott, the Lady Flames will send sophomore Constance McNair, junior Jennifer Schools, junior Ashley Ford, and senior Tiphani Comena to Tennessee along with Baldwin, a graduate student.
"All of them compete in the All-Around except Constance, who does all but bars, and Jonathan, who specializes in the floor, vault, and parallel bars," Steele said.
The Flames will leave for nationals on April 2, when it will practice upon arrival before the first day of competition will be April 3 or 4 with the finals to follow on April 5.

Shailene Woodley is uncomfortable with constant comparisons to fellow actress Jennifer Lawrence, insisting pitting female stars against one another "creates distress."
"The Descendants" star is a big fan of Lawrence and even turned to "The Hunger Games" beauty for advice about taking on a big franchise before signing on for the "Divergent" series.
But she insists she isn't trying to follow her friend's career steps and is urging reporters and fans to quit comparing female celebrities – because criticism can cause them serious insecurities.
Woodley reveals she was particularly hurt following a pre-taped appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in March, when she was booed by the studio audience for refusing to accept the comparisons.
The segment, during which she told host Fallon that "comparisons always lead to despair," was edited out of the TV broadcast, but she explains to New York Magazine, "It bothered me, because it's human nature to feel bad if you are booed by an entire audience."
She continues, "As women, we are constantly told that we need to compare ourselves to a girl in school, to our co-workers, to the images in a magazine. How is the world going to advance if we're always comparing ourselves to others?
"I admire Jennifer Lawrence, but she's everyone's favorite person to compare me to. Is it because we both have short hair and a vagina? I see us as separate individuals. And that's important.
"As women, our insecurities are based on all these comparisons. And that creates distress."

Woman charged with selling crack
DANBURY -- A 40-year-old city woman has been arrested for allegedly selling illegal drugs.
Disla Collado, of 12 Bank St., was charged with possession of crack, possession of crack with intent to sell, possession of crack within 1,500 feet of a school, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Prior to Collado's arrest, an investigation revealed she was selling illegal drugs throughout the Danbury area, including in her residence.
Search and seizure warrants were issued by state Superior Court in Danbury, which authorized the search of Collado's residence and person.
When the warrants were executed, Disla Collado was found to be in possession of a substantial quantity of crack cocaine, drug packaging material and drug paraphernalia.
She is being held on $100,000 bond.
