Algeria has decided to increase its oil production by 36,000 barrels per day from Monday, Energy and Mines Minister Chakib Khellil announced.
Algeria had decided to increase its production in respect of a supply mechanism agreed by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), to which Algeria belongs.
Under the arrangement, OPEC is to increase its overall output of oil by 500,000 barrels per day if the reference price of a so-called basket of oils used as a benchmark by OPEC exceeds $28 per barrel for 20 working days in a row.
Under the mechanism, production would be reduced by the same amount if the price of oil fell to less than $22 during 20 trading days.
The increase by Algeria takes total Algerian production to 872,000 barrels per day.
Last week the Algerian minister said that he was concerned that the price of oil might fall at the beginning of next year owing to an imbalance of supply and demand.The members of OPEC are to meet on November 12 to study the state of the oil market.—AFP.

Ooph.com was created out of a desire to provide real life answers about raising tweens and teens. Not the clinical kind you find on most sites. Real insights, stories and emotions from real moms.
Most parents would prefer not to discuss issues with those in their local communities for fear they or their child will be judged. Ooph.com is an online community where everyone knows your name (or your alias) but no one knows your child. Think of Ooph.com as your network of like minded parents here to help you forge your way through these sometimes difficult years. The goal is to come out on the other side with your humor intact and your relationship with your teen stronger than ever. Someday all too soon (trust me) you will watch through tears as your child drives off into the sunset of life after you. Make these last several years with them humor-filled and special, not riddled with anger and chaos.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A Baltimore gynecologist under investigation for allegedly secretly videotaping patients is believed to have killed himself, police said.
Police found the body of Nikita Levy, 54, at his home in Towson, Md., Monday, The Baltimore Sun reported. The cause of death was not immediately obvious, investigators said.
Levy practiced at East Baltimore Medical Center, a community clinic that is part of the Johns Hopkins University medical complex. He was fired earlier this month after one of Levy's colleagues reported he had been secretly taping his patients.
The university also notified police. Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for Baltimore Police, said investigators found a lot of evidence at his home and are now trying to identify the women who were videotaped.
"I think it's fair to say any individual who's been treated by this doctor should contact police," he said. "We're preparing for a large number to come forward."

text: After driving the 2015 SL for 11,500 miles, I can say that suspension on 2015 is definitely firmer than 2011 SL. Steering feel is also a bit better. Dry grip of 17-inch Michelin Energy tires is slightly better than 16-inch Bridgestone Ecopias, but not as good as Michelin MXM4 replacement tires I had on 2011. Wet grip of Ecopias (when inflated to 44 psi) was equal to or better than both versions of Michelins. Wet grip of Ecopias was really bad at 36 psi. There is not much difference in wet grip with Michelins between 36 and 44 psi. These are personal observations with tire pressures at 44 psi on both cars (except as noted regarding grip)--YMMV. Leather seats in 2015 are also firmer than recycled plastic (cloth) seats in 2011.

The remaining daughter named Mabel married Robert Fitzroy, Earl of Gloucester. Hamon Dentatus had two other sons: Richard of Granville; and Creuquer who inherited the Barony of Chatham from Robert Fitz-Hamon and many of the Kentish estates of Hamon Dapifer. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Burke, John Bernard, The Roll of Battle Abbey. London: Edward Churton, 26, Holles Street, 1848, Print.
These estates were passed down to Haimon de Crévequer (died 1208) who had one son Robert Haimon. The latter joined the confederacy of Barons against Henry III., and as a consequence lost all his estates.
Later, West-Acre in Norfolk was home to a branch of the family. "It is the property of A. Hamond, Esq., whose seat here, High House, is a handsome mansion in the Italian style, finely situated in a well-wooded park. The church is partly in the early and partly in the later English style, with a square embattled tower, and contains the mausoleum of the Hamond family, and many beautiful monuments to several of its members."

We shit you not, but at one point, while attempting to say something, Tom LaSorda totally hijacked and ran off with Homsar's famous "AaAaAaA..." Other highlights? A random appearance by Anthony Edwards, who got flustered when Richard Petty gave him crap about being an open-wheel guy. Kasey Kahne? Boring as hell. Eric Ridenour did okay. But the most offensive part of the whole thing was the bit where TV commentator Mike Joy was discussing Chrysler's NASCAR history at Daytona and checked the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 by name, but referred to the Plymouth Superbird as "The Superbird Daytona." No mention of Plymouth. It's like Plymouth was Chuck Cunningham or, er something. Meanwhile, they should hire an actor to play LaSorda at all future appearances. Saying "Not the best public speaker," about that guy is like remarking "Manuel Noriega really doesn't have the best skin."

Nole switched to his French Open kit during the warm-up tourneys leading to the year's second major, so no need to rehash (here it is, in case ya need a refresher). So instead, here's a few looks at his practice gear.
BTW: Nole has dropped only one set (to del Potro) in his run to the semis, which included a retirement from Victor Hanescu and a walkover against Fognini (who injured himself in that marathon vs. Montanes). Djokovic will play Roger Federer tomorrow.
Too much red! Aside from this olive green tee, a Stepanek-esque polo/shirt ensemble after the cut…

Lots of interesting discussions happening about EMR and healthcare IT this week. Someone recently called it the golden age of EHR. It's really hard to argue with them. I've only been in the healthcare IT and EHR world for the past 7 or so years, but it has never been more exciting than now. There's an energy and excitement that is tangible. I just hope it takes us to an even more exciting time.
Now, without further ado, some of the various EMR, EHR and healthcare IT tweets that I found interesting or worth a comment:
As it is EMR is usurping Patient-Doc time already. The eye contact, the warmth etc. becoming mechanical to the detriment. #hcsm
— PDara MD, FACP (@JediPD) April 23, 2012
While I've certainly seen what this tweet describes, I don't think it has to be the case. It depends a lot on how the EMR is used and how the EMR is implemented.
Not to be confused with EPIC EMR fail! lol RT @afternoonnapper: @GailZahtz Epic PR fail.#hcsm
— harriseve (@harriseve) April 23, 2012
Oh my…I'm a total nerd for loving the EMR humor.
Wyse to Present Cloud Client Computing Solutions and Virtualization for EMR Environments at Centricity Healthcare User …
— Stella Gibbs (@SantaCruzRTS) April 23, 2012
I know nothing about Wyse, but seeing this tweet had me disappointed. I asked to attend the Centricity User group meeting (hosted by a third party, not GE), and never got access. It's too bad. I can almost understand some concern (albeit unwarranted) of having a blogger at their user group meeting, but a third party should have been glad to have the exposure. Pretty disappointing since I love going to user group meetings so I can talk to the hard core every day EMR users. Oh well, I'm sure there will be more.
EMR sales up 14 percent in 2011 | #Healthcare IT News ow.ly/apB9E
— Healthcare IT News (@HITNewsTweet) April 20, 2012
Only 14%? That number seems really low. Plus, it's hard to believe any number unless a specific EHR company releases their growth, but even then you have to be careful understanding where they got that number. If they only have 1 EMR install, then it's easy to grow 500%.

"Ready to extend full cooperation to Pakistan," Hojjatolah Ghanimifard, secretary of the National Iranian Oil Company, told IRNA. Pakistan's decision to purchase oil from Iran comes amidst discussions over the construction of a liquefied gas pipeline between Iran and India via Pakistan.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Abdul Sattar, in an interview with IRNA, said that regardless of India's intentions or the outcome of the pipeline feasibility study, which will be completed within six months, that Pakistan was ready and willing to begin bilateral trade negotiations.
The length of the pipeline from southern Iran to Sindh Province in Pakistan would be 1600-km. A second stage of the pipeline would then be extended 1000-knm into India. Costs of the project are still not known.
Another possibility is to build a pipeline along the bed of the Indian Ocean directly from Iran to India, thus bypassing Pakistan. However, this would not vouch well with Pakistani officials hoping to earn revenues off the transfer payments. This was proposed by a Russian oil and gas firm. – (Albawaba-MEBG)

mcgd necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
I want to get a tattoo. I don't have any tattoos right now. I want to integrate a few things into a simple, novel design that will look good in ink.
I want a tattoo design for a tattoo on my leg (center of my left upper thigh facing front, about 6 inches above the top of my kneecap). I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for a long time and I'm ready now to do it. I tried designing my own, but they all sucked. So I want to turn to a talented person. Maybe that's you? :)
- Design for black ink tattoo;
- Design should be round or oval, 3-4 inches in diameter;
- Design should be masculine (I'm a dude);
- Incorporate the phrase, De Rerum Natura, into the design (it's the name of a poem I like, it means "On the Nature of Things");
- The poem was written in Latin by a famous writer named Lucretius a few thousand years ago;
- The poem deals with the fundamental aspects of nature and it was one of the first arguments that the "gods" do not take interest in the daily lives of humans if they even exist;
- It's a poem most closely associated with the philosophy of Epicurus (look it up);

Pine tar rulings need to be consistent
To recap the Michael Pineda situation: Rules are rules (unless everybody breaks them). Following the rules is important (unless it's not that important). Bending the rules is not acceptable (unless it is acceptable). And, oh yeah, Pineda was not particularly bright in the realm of pine-tar application.
You got all that?
To recap the Michael Pineda situation: Rules are rules (unless everybody breaks them). Following the rules is important (unless it's not that important). Bending the rules is not acceptable (unless it is acceptable). And, oh yeah, Pineda was not particularly bright in the realm of pine-tar application.
You got all that?
Me neither.
Anybody piling on Pineda is missing the bigger issue, which is that the uneven application of a debatable rule is only going to lead to inconsistency in a game increasingly scrutinized by the glory of technological advancement.
We shouldn't have to summon the ghost of Potter Stewart and say that the application of Rule 8.02 comes down to an "I know it when I see it" scenario. We should either get this stuff in writing so that people like Pineda aren't demonized for doing something widely accepted in other circumstances or get more consistent application of the rule currently in place.
Clearly, Pineda could have been more discreet. But is a glob of pine tar on the neck considerably less discreet than that glowing green gunk (not exactly the typical hue of rosin) on Jon Lester's glove last October?
Is it truly less discreet than those bottles of spray-on sunscreen (which, for the record, is not expressly banned but apparently pairs well with rosin in improving wayward control) that have been spotted in various dugouts by intrepid home viewers?
Don't get me wrong. Given the media uproar over Pineda's previous start against the Red Sox (and let's be clear that the uproar did not extend to the Red Sox clubhouse), the Yankees probably could have done a better job getting the message to Pineda that discretion -- moving target though it may be -- is the better part of valor.
But as Pineda endures the humiliation of ejection and the sting of a 10-game suspension, let's remember that the context of the times in which he we live plays a huge role here. And a league that has embraced technology with the expansion of instant replay review ought to further acknowledge our technologically savvy society by erasing all doubt and semantics and conjecture from its rules on foreign substances.
If there are certain substances in certain amounts that are deemed to be both practical and defensible, let's put it in writing.
If applying pine tar really is akin to scuffing the ball to get better break and motion, let's do a better job of policing it.
Pine tar is seen by some merely as a means of improving the grip on the ready-made weapon that a fastball can become. This is a point the Red Sox's Clay Buchholz made in the wake of Pineda's first sticky situation earlier this month.
"Especially on cold, windy nights, it's tough to get a grip on a baseball," Buchholz told reporters. "I had that incident in Toronto where I had stuff all over my body. You can use rosin, water, and sunscreen stuff. Either you have a grip on the baseball and have a semi-idea of where it's going, or get somebody hurt… If you're scuffing the ball [and creating more control], that's one thing… But I've never seen any pitcher have an edge by using it. You use it to get the best grip possible."
Rosin is legal, but pitchers will argue that it's useless in dry conditions (hence the popularity of sunscreen even on not-so-sunny days). Pine tar is illegal but widely used and widely embraced as a "safety issue."
There are, however, those who consider the "safety issue" argument to be bunk.
"Pine tar is used 2 make ur breaking pitches sharper& help ur sinker 4 more movement!" Doc Gooden tweeted Thursday.
In the current climate, batters (who, of course, are permitted to use pine tar up to 18 inches from the handle of their bat) don't seem to have a problem with pitchers using pine tar. Pitchers certainly don't seem to have a problem with other pitchers using pine tar. In the long frame, it would be helpful to get some dependable studies on the impact of pine tar on pitches and whether it enhances performance or actually protects the hitter at the plate.
Right now, though, the problem is this nebulous notion of the "right way" to cheat. It's another one of those wonderful "unwritten rules" that doesn't hold up so well in the 21st Century.
Just as the transfer rule has revealed itself to be in need of tweaking now that technology has an increased presence in the sport, MLB needs to put fresh eyes on Rule 8.02. Otherwise, we're cracking down on one form of cheating (performance-enhancing drug use) like never before while willingly turning a blind eye to another ... unless it really catches our eye. That's intellectually dishonest, needlessly nebulous and, above all else, not camera-friendly.
Saying pine tar is wrong in certain situations and acceptable in others doesn't cut it anymore. It's either acceptable or it's not. If it's not acceptable, police it full-bore. If it is acceptable, get it in writing so that people like Pineda don't get caught in the crosshairs of capricious discipline.

My friend Alison Devenny, board member of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (OCNA) and founder of its Junior Committee, recently hosted a Zumba workout class to raise awareness about OCNA and its mission to increase public and professional understanding of ovarian cancer and to advocate for more effective diagnostics, treatments, and a cure.
Alison is an intelligent, caring, and driven woman who first got involved with OCNA when friend and mentor, Judy Abrams was looking for a way to increase the involvement of young people with the organization. Knowing that it could be a powerful tool, Alison started the Junior Committee with the charge of bringing on members of the Millennial Generation and having them be an active force within the organization. They started with a small group of young professionals with a passion for philanthropy and now have a group of 30 active members who have planned more than 15 charity events including walks, galas, shopping nights and fitness events in New York City.
With the success of the Junior Committee, Alison was asked to join the Board of Directors in 2010 as their youngest member ever. She now has the unique experience of leading the Junior Committee in New York and working as a member of the board focusing on fundraising and advocacy on a national level. Through her work, Alison says she is continually inspired by the passion and grace of the ovarian cancer survivors she meets and the community of leaders and advocates who work on the behalf of women everywhere.
All in all, I am inspired by Alison and the work she does on behalf of OCNA. I invite you to check out the Junior Committee's website for upcoming events and ways to get involved.
Ovarian Cancer National Alliance:
Based in Washington DC, The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is a patient-led, umbrella organization uniting ovarian cancer activists, women's health advocates and health care professionals in the effort to increase public and professional understanding of ovarian cancer and to advocate for more effective diagnostics, treatments and a cure. Key activities include an annual national conference, a public education program targeted to women and primary care physicians, and training programs to help survivors become effective advocates and spokespeople for the disease.
Ovarian Cancer:
- Ovarian Cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer. There is no cure and no early detection test. There are symptoms and understanding these symptoms is a powerful tool for women to protect themselves.
- The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2013, about 22,240 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed and 15,500 women will die of ovarian cancer in the United States.
- While the 10th most common cancer among women, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among women, and is the deadliest of gynecologic cancers. Mortality rates are slightly higher for Caucasian women than for African-American women.1
- A woman's lifetime risk of developing invasive ovarian cancer is 1 in 72.
- Bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
- Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)
While most women will experience these symptoms at some point in their lives. Women are encouraged to consult their doctor if they experience any of the above symptoms for a period of more than two weeks.

First steps of newly established platform for biodiversity
Bonn, 27 January 2013
A new international science-policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystems, set up to assist governments and citizens to better understand the state, trends and challenges facing the natural world and humanity in the 21st century, has today put in place many of the administrative and staffing structures needed to implement its important work.
Over 500 delegates, including from most of the 105 Member States of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), attended the first plenary meeting of the platform (IPBES-1), held in Bonn, Germany this week.
M. Zakri, Science Advisor to the Prime Minister of Malaysia and Chairman of the Malaysian Professors' Council was "truly honoured and most humbled to be elected as the first Chair of the Platform". M. Zakri has extensive experience in biodiversity governance at the national and international levels.
The meeting also took this opportunity to elect an international group of renowned experts, the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel (MEP), which will ensure the scientific credibility and independence of the IPBES work.
IPBES-1 also requested UNESCO, UNEP, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to establish an institutional link with the Platform through a collaborative partnership arrangement for the work of IPBES and its Secretariat. It was decided that the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will provide the Secretariat for the Platform, which will operate from Bonn in Germany.
Even before IPBES can receive formal requests, expectations for the Platform are high. Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), when delivering a joint statement of the six biodiversity-related conventions said that, "by working closely together, IPBES and the conventions can support their common objectives of the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and maintenance of ecosystem services for human well-being." The Conventions of the Parties (COP) to the CBD has already requested IPBES to contribute to the preparation of the next global assessment on biodiversity and ecosystem services, to be launched in 2018, and to help countries to implement the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. Similarly, requests have been made from the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and the Ramsar Convention to support their work on the conservation and sustainable use of migratory species of wild animals and on wetlands respectively.
The meeting also requested the development of a stakeholder engagement strategy for IPBES. It is expected that the scientific community, civil society, the business and industry sector, as well as representatives from indigenous peoples and local communities, will act both as contributors and end users of the Platform.
IPBES set-up to protect the planet's biodiversity, its ecosystems and the services they provide to humanity
IPBES was established in April 2012 in Panama City, Panama, and currently has 105 Member States.
The Platform is an independent intergovernmental body open to all member countries of the United Nations.
Its members are committed to building IPBES as the leading intergovernmental body for assessing the state of the planet's biodiversity, its ecosystems and the essential services they provide to society.
Biodiversity from terrestrial, marine, coastal, and inland water ecosystems provides the basis for ecosystems and the services they provide that underpin human well-being. However, biodiversity and ecosystem services are declining at an unprecedented rate and the world failed to reach the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010.
In order to address this challenge, adequate local, national and international policies need to be adopted and implemented. To achieve this, decision makers need scientifically credible and independent information that takes into account the complex relationships between biodiversity, ecosystem services, and people. They also need effective methods to interpret this scientific information in order to make informed decisions. The scientific community also needs to understand the needs of decision makers better in order to provide them with the relevant information. In essence, the dialogue between the scientific community, governments, and other stakeholders on biodiversity and ecosystem services needs to be strengthened.
IPBES was established to this end. It provides a mechanism recognized by both the scientific and policy communities to synthesize, review, assess and critically evaluate relevant information and knowledge generated worldwide by governments, academia, scientific organizations, non-governmental organizations and indigenous communities. This involves a credible group of experts in conducting assessments of such information and knowledge in a transparent way.
IPBES is unique in that it will aim to strengthen capacity for the effective use of science in decision-making at all levels. IPBES will also aim to address the needs of Multilateral Environmental Agreements that are related to biodiversity and ecosystem services, and build on existing processes ensuring synergy and complementarities in each other's work.
Next steps for IPBES
An ambitious agenda has been set by the meeting, paving the way for the second meeting of the platform (IPBES-2), where IPBES's forward-looking work programme is expected to be agreed.
The IPBES Secretariat should also be fully staffed and operational by the end of IPBES-2, provisionally scheduled for the end of 2013.

Poll Finds 1 in 5 Americans Know a Victim of Gun Violence
(MENLO PARK, Calif.) -- One in five Americans personally know a victim of gun violence, and 42 percent of Americans say that they are at least somewhat worried about becoming victims themselves, according to a new Kaiser Health Tracking Survey.
The poll comes out as gun-control has reestablished itself as a major political issue in the wake of the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Of the 20 percent of Americans who know a victim of gun violence, a majority indicated that it was someone close to them; a good friend, family member, or even the respondent themselves.
Certain demographics are more likely to be exposed to gun violence than others.
"That number actually rises quite a bit when you talk about African-Americans or young people," said Kaiser's Mollyann Brodie. "So about four in ten blacks and about 28 percent of young people say that they know a victim of gun violence."
While 30 percent of whites responded said that they were worried about becoming victims themselves, the numbers are again higher with certain groups. "Fully three quarters of Hispanics and six in 10 Blacks are very worried about being a victim of gun violence," said Brodie.
The poll also surveyed attitudes and perceived discrimination towards those with mental health issues. Nearly half of the public said they would feel at least somewhat uncomfortable living next to a person with mental health issues, and two-thirds of parents objected to having "a person with a serious mental illness" work at their child's school.
Three-quarters of Americans believed that individuals with mental health issues experience "a lot" or "some" discrimination. Only immigrants were more likely to be perceived as facing discrimination.
The study suggests that these numbers have gone up in the wake of Newtown.
"People believe that people with mental health illnesses do actually face considerable prejudice and discrimination," said Brodie.

When you first delve into Ancestry.com, the world's largest subscription collection of genealogy databases, it can be a bit mind-boggling. After all, Ancestry.com encompasses some 31,000 databases with more than 9 billion historical records. Subscribers can access all available US census records, from 1790 through the n1940 census, along with many Canadian, English and Welsh enumerations.
You'll find military records including databases of soldiers from the Revolutionary War, Civil War and both world wars. Vital records cover many US states, Canada and the United Kingdom, and immigration records range from passenger lists for most American ports to border-crossing files. Plus, you'll find more than 20,000 digitized family and local history books, along with city directories and yearbooks and scanned and searchable newspapers dating back to the 18th century.
Where's an overwhelmed genealogist to start?
To help jump-start your Ancestry.com experience, here are 10 suggestions for tasks you can perform on the site (not all of which even require paying for a subscription). As you work your way through these ideas, you'll uncover even more ways Ancestry.com can help you branch out and document your family tree.
1. Explore what's available for free.
Even though the core of Ancestry.com is its treasure trove of subscriber-only databases, the site also offers a surprising number of free data collections. If you're still debating whether to subscribe to Ancestry.com, trying out its free databases is a good way to get a feel for the site and how it works.
To find the free databases, select Card Catalog under Search on the home page; it's the last item in the drop-down list. Then type free in the keyword blank and click Search. You'll see nearly 800 databases you can explore even without paying for access.
Many of these databases, it's true, require a subscription to view full results or the scanned image of the original record. That's the case with most US census databases, although you can view the 1880 and 1940 enumerations in their entirety for free; you just need to register and create a free account. Yet even those "free" databases in which the complete records are hidden behind a pay wall can provide valuable information. Searching the 1861 English census, for example, will reveal not only whether an ancestor is listed, but also the person's year and city of birth as well as county of residence in 1861.
2. Create or upload your family tree.
There's no charge to create and share your own family tree files on Ancestry.com. You'll get the most out of this experience, though, by subscribing. Your subscription will allow you to view data matches as well as other subscribers' trees that overlap with yours. Ancestry.com hosts some 34 million family trees, containing 4 billion profiles of ancestors, plus more than 115 million photographs, scanned documents and written stories attached to those trees.
To begin, select Start a New Tree under the Family Trees link on the home page; you'll see a rudimentary pedigree chart where you can type in your data. Another option under Family Trees, Upload a GEDCOM, lets you share a GEDCOM file (the universal file format for family trees) you've exported from your genealogy software. Or from the same page, you can upload native file formats created by several genealogy programs: Family Tree Maker (FTW); Family Tree Maker backup file (FBK); Personal Ancestral File (PAF); and Legacy (FDB). You can also upload "zipped" GEDCOM and image files (GEDZ). Just browse to the file on your computer, select and upload it, and Ancestry.com will interpret the file and create your online tree.
3. Follow your hints.
Once you've created or uploaded one or more family trees, links to them appear in the Family Trees drop-down menu whenever you sign in to Ancestry.com. Click on one of your trees and you'll see a typical lines-and-boxes view, with each ancestor's name and relevant dates. You may see a leaf icon in the corner of an ancestor's box; this indicates that Ancestry.com has a "hint" for you—data it's automatically found that may match that ancestor. (A box at the top of the page shows how many hints await your attention.)
To explore these hints, hover over one of your ancestors bearing a leaf icon. You'll see how many hints are available to review ("8 Ancestry hints"). Click this link for a list of the data matches Ancestry.com has identified. You can click on each data source to view that record, or select Review Hint to jump to a comparison between what Ancestry.com has found and what's in your tree. (If the data obviously doesn't apply to your ancestor, select Ignore Hint to dismiss it.) Check or uncheck these found facts, then pick Save to Your Tree to import the info you've checked.
4. Perform a global search.
Because Ancestry.com's wealth of data can be overwhelming, sometimes the best way to explore its databases is just to dive in and see everything it provides on a given ancestor. You can do this from the home page, where blanks invite you to fill in a first and last name, place an ancestor might have lived, and estimated birth year. You can click to add other life events, as well as other family members, to narrow your search.
If you know a little more about an ancestor, you'll get better results by clicking Show Advanced in the upper right portion of the home page. This links to a page with those options for other life events and family members, plus a drop-down for gender and blanks for race and keyword. (What might you try as a keyword? Consider groups your ancestor might have belonged to, such as Flying Tigers, Elks or Lutheran, as well as occupations and even place names that Ancestry.com doesn't recognize and automatically populate.) Here you can also prioritize or restrict your search by collection (such as English or Jewish) or select only certain types of records.
This advanced-search page also offers the option to search just for exact matches. Use this checkbox with caution, however; you can always choose to narrow your search once you see the results, using the Edit Search button or r hot key.
5. Search by category.
Despite the power of Ancestry.com's global search, sometimes you get better results by searching a single category—zooming in on your ancestor's military or passenger arrival records, for example. To search a single category, select it from the drop-down list under Search. For categories not shown there, such as Schools, Directories & Church Histories, pick Search All Records and then select the category (or subcategory) from the list on the right side of the main search page.
Another reason to search by category is that these category-search pages present different options. The Immigration & Travel search page, for example, lets you specify an ancestor's arrival and departure dates and place of origin—options not readily available on the main search page. (You can, however, add arrival and departure there as life events.) The Military search page has a date and location search box set specifically for military service.
6. Explore others' family trees.
The real benefit of sharing your family tree on Ancestry.com is hoping others tracing your family will do likewise. Family trees are included in the site's global search. But you can focus on them by selecting Public Member Trees under Search. Results show the basics about an ancestor from each tree. Here, you'll see a rating for how closely this person matches your search criteria, plus how many sources and attachments accompany the data.
While unsourced info in others' family trees can provide clues for your own research, focus on those with sources. Look particularly in the results list for those that not only have sources (which may be just somebody else's unverified family tree) but that show "attached records." These can be a research gold mine—everything from transcribed wills to pages from family histories. You may even find photos, indicated by a little camera icon.
You can also search just for Public Member Stories submitted along with family trees here.
7. Connect with cousins.
What if you find someone researching your family, and you want to connect to share information? Toward the top of each family tree page is an Owner icon. Click this to view more about the submitter. Depending on the person's settings, you may be able to send an email via Ancestry.com by clicking Contact. You also can read about the person's research interests.
Under Collaborate/Recent Member Connect Activity, you can view other Ancestry.com subscribers' activities related to ancestors you may share. If someone's saved a record related to an ancestor in one of your trees, that'll show up—along with links to the record and the person's tree.
8. Find ancestors in the news.
Although other subscription sites now rival Ancestry.com's collection of historical newspapers, it's still a useful tool for beating your brick walls and learning about your ancestors' lives. (Ancestry.com has launched a bigger subscription-based site, Newspapers.com, that's available to Ancestry.com subscribers at a discounted rate.) To search only old newspapers, go to Search All Records and scroll down to Newspapers under Stories & Publications on the right.
Here it's often useful to filter your search by location, using the links at the upper right. Click on USA, for instance, and then select a state and possibly a city in the left-hand links on the page that appears. You also can filter by dates.
9. Scour message boards.
An often-overlooked resource is Ancestry.com's vast array of message boards. This part of the site, "the world's largest online genealogy community," has more than 17 million posts on 161,000 boards. This link is located under Collaborate, or you can go straight to boards.ancestry.com. These message boards are identical to those on the long-standing free RootsWeb site, which is why they represent such a rich resource. Why tackle a genealogy challenge from scratch when somebody may have already solved it here?
At the very least, it's worth checking the boards for all the surnames you're researching, as well as the ancestral places (typically by county) where your family has lived. You can also explore specialized boards devoted to everything from the Crimean War to Australian cemeteries. If you post, use a subject line such as "Harrison family in Ripley County, Ind." That way, other researchers surfing the boards will quickly know whether your most might pertain to their families..
10. Save your finds.
Once you've found facts about your ancestors on Ancestry.com, what should you do with these records? Ancestry.com provides several built-in ways to save "hits" related to your family history. First, of course, you can print the records you find—always a good backup. It's a good idea to print both the image of the original record, if available, and Ancestry.com's transcription of it, then staple these together.
It's also easy to save your finds digitally. When viewing a record, click the orange Save button in the upper right corner. This brings up a box where you can choose to attach the record to someone in your tree or save it to your computer's hard drive. An advantage of attaching a record to an Ancestry.com tree is that you can then view it using Ancestry's free smartphone and tablet apps.
All these options are easy to use, and that's a good thing. Once you've tried all 10 suggestions for using Ancestry.com for your search, you'll have plenty of family history finds to save.

You could probably eliminate three of the diodes because half-way rectification would be adequate in this case.
Would something as simple as a single diode (makes 1/2 wave DC), a 10uf cap(turns it into lumpy DC) and a 78L05 regulator provides protection and makes very nice DC be appropriate ? (looking to minimal component and cost) Does this approach provide isolation?

New York, January 24, 2013 -- Broadway's "Les Miserables" alumni Adam Jacobs, last seen as Simba in Disney's "The Lion King," and Ali Ewoldt, last seen as Tuptim in Baayork Lee's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I," are poised to reunite on stage in A HEART FULL OF LOVE, a concert at The Town Hall on 43rd Street on Saturday, February 23 at 8 p.m.
Conceived by Victor Lirio ("Suites by Sondheim," "Two Rooms"), featuring direction by Adam Fitzgerald ("Friends and Relations," "Killing Women") and musical direction by David Dabbon ("Secondary Impact," "She Loves Me"), A HEART FULL OF LOVE, will showcase Jacobs and Ewoldt, both of Filipino descent, singing an array of musical theater favorites, including selections from "Les Miserables," "West Side Story," and "The Lion King"; a sampling of contemporary pop songs and kundiman (traditional Filipino love songs); and an inspiring repertoire of new works by emerging musical theater writers and composers.
In a press statement, Jacobs said, "The last time Ali and I sang together on a concert stage was at a tribute show for musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim at Lincoln Center ['Suites by Sondheim,' directed by Lirio] two years ago. We sang 'One Hand, One Heart' from 'West Side Story,' and that was it. But for our show at The Town Hall, not only will we have the chance to perform excerpts from 'Les Miserables' for the first time since our Broadway debuts; but we also will have the opportunity to do other popular tunes from shows we haven't done yet (which reminds us that Jacobs has been wanting to do the male lead role in 'The Light in the Piazza'; could 'Love to Me' be part of the concert program?)"
Via email, Jacobs told BroadwayWorld.com that featured guest artists at The Town Hall concert will be announced shortly.
Proceeds from A HEART FULL OF LOVE will go to the 3rd The Outstanding Filipino Americans in New York (TOFA-NY) Awards, an annual award ceremony that recognizes exemplary Filipino-Americans in the New York Tri-State held in October; and to Mindoro Healthcare Consulting's current research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.
Elton Lugay of TOFA-NY and Jona Jane Tajonera of Mindoro Healthcare Consulting, LLC, together with media partners GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV, and The Filipino Reporter, are producing this Valentine's month concert.

Oh, to have a female my age, as promiscuous as can be,
One that enjoys the menfolk with rate.
I would certainly share her with various other guys of similar sights,
As well as she would certainly have the choice people whenever she must pick.
Girl under forty, regardless of exactly how clever they are,
can ne'er change a matron's kiss upon the blvd.
Under a moonlit skies with memories of love,
A female over forty might trigger a male to dance.
Will I locate a fully grown promiscuous female if I look for one today?
One that desires a senior guy in a room sort of method?
I do not long for integrity, as a matter of fact the reverse holds true,
Exist females over sixty that have my viewpoint?
What is indiscrimination however a love of sex and also video games?
This is only a love of life as well as ne'er a little bit of embarassment.
Ah, yet age is the vital factor, I wish you will certainly concur,
a lady needs to be old adequate to have a background.
May-December love are not created for me;
I prefer a timeless lady with a little bit of background.
What does May supply so early in the year
when it's October women whom I desire to sinfully respect?
Bring me a promiscuous female with her knowledgeable collection,
she is the one that calls me to dance upon the blvd.
I would certainly share her with a number of guys of similar sights
and also she would certainly have the choice people, she just requires to select.

In Led Zeppelin's The Rover, Robert Plant sings I know to trip is just to fall. Coincidentally, in today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Land Rover, you could trip out over its kit, that is if you'll fall for its price.
Yesterday's 1976 Datsun Sunny Ute comes from a land down under, but sadly its price was seen as a blunder. Though beer does flow and men chunder, 87% of you voted it a total plunder.
Ouch, that was painful. I really should apologize to Colin Hay for that. Maybe next time I'm buying oranges at an offramp, I will.
Let's see now, oddball truck, not officially sold here in the States, steering wheel on the wrong side… yep that was fun, let's do that again. Today however, instead of a truck hailing from one of Great Britain's penal colonies, we've got one from ol' Perfidious Albion itself.
Now it is true, Land Rover once sold the Defender 110 here in the States, at least for a while. In fact the one time I ever met Diane Keaton (nice lady that) she happened to be driving one. What Land Rover kept from us however, were diesel stick shift right-hand drive models like today's 1981 edition, in electric British Racing Green.
Land Rover didn't sell us right-hand drive Defenders because apparently they're a pain in the ass at the drive-thru. They didn't give us the diesel either because apparently they're a pain in the ass to sit behind at the drive-thru. This one's not only both a curb-side driver and in possession of an oil burner, but is also seemingly in great shape and a three-pedal car. What it's most likely not however, is a 1981 model.
You see, this truck has the squared-off nose and long hood of the One Ten model, and to the best of my knowledge that bad boy didn't usurp the Series III until the 1983 model year. This one also has wind-up windows making it at least an '84 or newer. That may not seem to be a big deal, as the later cars did sport additional mechanical benefits over the earlier ones, including coil suspension, and an AWD system derived from the Range Rover, but it still means there's something sketchy about this proud and compression-ignited beast.
Speaking of which, what diesel exactly is under this car's hood? Well, assuming that it is a mid '80s Defender, it's probably the 2.5-litre 68-bhp four. Yes, I said 68 horses. No, that's not a lot of them. Yes, that'll make it slow. The can full of marbles is backed up by a long stick, probably an LT77 five-speed but the ad doesn't divulge the number of cogs in the box.
The rest of the car looks about as fap-worthy as you could want from a Defender, with seating for three in both the first and second rows - although the front middle passenger's crotch is going to get a lot of shift lever action - and a pair of side-facing benches in the way back. It's like a BRG school bus, which is what I imagine British kids who aren't Harry Potter take to academy.
Aside from the awkwardness of driving on the wrong side of the car - and a rear door hinged for the Monarchy's streets - this Land Rover presses pretty much all the right buttons, including apparently making it through the gauntlet of registration that is the California DMV. What you now need to decide is if its $22,900 price tag ultimately pushes the sale button.
Before you do that however, consider again the fact that there's potential sketchiness surrounding this truck's age, as well as this fact. Yeah, I'd be scared too, but perhaps not enough not to roll the dice for this green machine. What do you think, is this Defender worth $22,900? Or, is that price way over this Land Rover?
You decide!

DGA Howls for Scorsese, Russell and Three First-Timers
The Directors Guild of America, more commonly referred to as simply DGA, have announced their nominees for the film year, and the expected nominees prevailed… with the possible exception of the final slot, alphabetically and most in doubt, which went to Martin Scorsese for his controversial satire.
The nominees are…
- Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity (first time DGA nominee)
- Paul Greengrass, Captain Philllips (first time DGA nominee)
- Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave (first time DGA nominee)
- David O. Russell, American Hustle (second DGA nomination though curiously not honored in 2012 when Silver Linings Playbook was all the rage)
- Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street (12th DGA honor*)
In the past DGA nominees were literally the surest indication of which five movies would be nominated for Oscar's Best Picture, even moreso than accurate bellweathers of what would happen in the director race itself. But since the upheavals in Academy voting since 2009, it's tough to say what they mean anymore since Best Picture nominations are so much easier to come by. But whatever it means it is certainly not good news for the Coen brothers (Inside Llewyn Davis), Alexander Payne (Nebraska), or Spike Jonze (Her) all of whom have been nominated by the DGA in previous years.
In the past four years (2009-2012) of the DGA nominations 15 of 20 of their selections went on to be Oscar nominated in the same category with 2012 being famously divisive between the two awards groups – only 2 of the DGA's choices made it to the Oscar lineup in a real surprise shake-up. But despite those disagreements only 1 of the DGA's 20 selections in the past four years did NOT receive a Best Picture nomination (David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo which won five Oscar nominations and 1 actual statue) so all five of these movies are likely to be Best Picture nominated
… yes, even The Wolf of Wall Street despite the defensive game it's been playing the media. The Wolf of Wall Street's current situation has been compared to Zero Dark Thirty's last year (both here and elsewhere) and Zero Dark Thirty, like Dragon Tattoo, went on to five Oscar nominations and 1 win. So smart money…and by smart money I mean "people who believe in crazy coincidences of Oscar numerology" should expect 5 nominations and one win for Wolf, though not in Best Director and maybe not in Best Picture. In short: we know not a damn thing about how this will play out!
* It's worth noting that Martin Scorsese is a beloved icon to the Directors Guild of America, having won television, narrative feature, and documentary honors. They've been slightly more generous with him over the years than Oscar has. As with Oscar he's only won their top prize once (also for The Departed) but they've given him a lifetime achievement prize as well as nominating him for two pictures that Oscar did not recognize him for: Taxi Driver and The Age of Innocence. The only time the Oscars recognized him when the DGA didn't was for The Last Tempation of Christ.

If you are injured at work or develop an occupational disease and your claim is accepted, workers' compensation (L&I or your self‑insured employer) pays for medical care directly related to your accident or illness. If you are unable to work following your injury, you may be eligible for a portion of your lost wages. Most important, L&I or your self‑insured employer may help coordinate a safe and timely return to work.
If your employer is self‑insured, your rights and benefit entitlement don't change, but who manages your claim and the process is different. Your employer, not L&I, handles your paperwork and pays for the claim.
About a third of all Washington employees work for self‑insured employers. Read A Guide to Industrial Insurance Benefits for Employees of Self-insured Businesses (F207‑085‑000) to better understand employee benefits.
Many falls, cuts, and sprains can become serious injuries if they aren't treated right away. If it's a minor injury, get first aid at your workplace.
In Washington, all employers are required to have a first-aid kit at the workplace.
If you are injured at work and need treatment, go to the emergency room or health‑care provider of your choice and tell them you were injured at work. They will assist you in filing the workers' compensation claim.
Starting January 2013, if you need medical care after that first visit, you will need to see a provider in our network. If your regular doctor is not in our network, encourage them to join, or find one that is in our network.
Search online for a doctor or other health-care provider near you. When you find a provider, contact them to make sure they are accepting new patients.
If your employer is self‑insured, file your claim directly with your employer. They will give you a Self‑Insurer Accident Report (SIF‑2). Fill out the form completely and return it to your employer or their representative. The doctor will complete a Physician's Initial Report (PIR) (F207‑028‑000) and mail it to your self‑insured employer's claim representative.
If you need further care, you must see a provider in the L&I network starting January 2013.
Yes. You may choose any doctor who is qualified to treat your injury, as long as they are in our network. They include: medical, osteopathic, chiropractic, naturopathic and podiatric, physicians, dentists, optometrists, physician assistants and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners. You also may get a second medical opinion if your claim manager approves it.
Washington is a no-fault state, so L&I will cover an allowable claim for a workplace injury regardless of who is at fault. This rule also applies to self‑insured employers.
Washington workers' compensation benefits do not change if you live outside Washington State. The right to receive treatment, time loss, vocational rehabilitation, permanent disability and other benefits remains intact. However, your responsibilities also continue. If you do not cooperate with these responsibilities your benefits may stop. You must:
If you are injured on the job or diagnosed with an occupational disease, let your employer know right away. Employers need to know about injuries and be familiar with the situation when the L&I paperwork arrives so that they can help you plan your return to work.
If you have work restrictions, your doctor will explain them on the Activity Prescription Form (F242‑385‑000). If you are unable to perform your regular job while you are recovering, your employer may be able to find you transitional or light-duty work within your medical restrictions. This can make it easier for you to get back to your original work and wages when you have recovered.
Your employer's workers' compensation rates can be affected by the cost of an injury. This is one reason employers help injured workers return to paid work while they are still healing, if permitted by the doctor.
Self-insured employers pay all claims costs. About a third of all Washington employees work for self‑insured employers.
You may see a company doctor if you wish, but you have the right to choose your own doctor.
You have the right to choose your doctor and also to decide who, if anyone, you want to accompany you to the doctor. You have the right to decline to have the company nurse or any employer representative accompany you to the hospital, doctor, or any other medical visit. Your employer can't discriminate or retaliate against you. Contact L&I if you need assistance.
If so, worker rights and benefits are the same. However, your employer, not L&I, handles your paperwork and pays for the claim.
If you disagree with how your self‑insured employer or their representative is managing your claim, contact Self‑Insurance at L&I to find your L&I claim manager so you can contact them directly.
About a third of all Washington employees work for self‑insured employers.
You may contact L&I. Your employer may not discriminate or retaliate against you for filing a claim, for saying that you plan to file a claim, or for seeking workers' compensation benefits. If your employer has discouraged you from filing a claim, you may file a complaint (F262‑024‑000).
Your time loss benefits could stop if you decline a job approved by your doctor and offered by your Washington employer.
A Washington worker can file a claim in Washington even if the injury occurs out of state. The claim won't be rejected because the injury happened out-of-state, even if your employer isn't paying premiums to Washington state. You may file claims in both Washington State and in the state or country in which you were injured, but any benefits you receive from another state will be credited against any benefits to which you may be eligible from L&I.
The sooner you are able to return to work after an injury, whether in a light‑duty or a modified job (with your doctor's OK), the more likely you are to recover and earn your pre-injury salary.
We will reimburse your employer 50% of the base wage they pay to you to do an approved light-duty job. We will also cover expenses such as training and tools related to the light-duty job. More on eligibility and what your employer can get reimbursed for at Lni.wa.gov/StayAtWork.
About a third of all Washington employees work for self‑insured employers.
A Washington worker can file a claim in Washington even if the injury occurs out of state. You may file a claim in both Washington State and in the state or country in which you were injured, but any benefits you receive from another state will be credited against any benefits to which you may be eligible from L&I.
You are considered a worker of whatever state your employer has a place of business, if you regularly work at or from that place of business.
If your employer doesn't have a place of business in the state where you work, you are considered a worker of the state you reside, if you work a substantial amount of your time in the state where you reside.
If your employer has no business location in the state you work, and you don't live in the state you work, then you will be a Washington worker only if your contract of hire was made in the state of Washington.

AnyPresence offers a mobile development platform that, according to the company, dramatically reduces the time and cost of mobile-enabling enterprise business processes, products and services. The goal is providing organizations the ability to assemble and deploy back-end servers, native iOS, native Android and HTML5 mobile Web apps without platform "lock-in."
Last month the Reston, Va.-based AnyPresence debuted an API service for building and deploying cross-platform mobile apps, what the company called a "meta platform" for adding mobile application development functionality to existing software.
Co-founded in 2010 by CEO Anirban "AC" Chakrabarti, the company won the 2013 Disruptive Strategy Award at the Strategy Innovation Awards at the Chief Strategy Officer Summit in May.
