Teskal is a computing application designed to relieve 'the loneliness of the sportsperson'. The better a sportsperson is, the more time he or she spends away from home, and few can afford the luxury of travelling with psychologists, coaches, etc. This tool enables them to receive sports and psychological counselling online wherever they may be. Mara Palacios has detailed the development and validation of this tool in a thesis submitted at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and entitled Aspectos psicosociales aplicados a la formacin en jvenes deportistas a travs de nuevas tecnologas (Psychosocial aspects applied to training in young sportspeople through the new technologies). This validation is due to be echoed by the Revista Internacional de Medicina y Ciencias de la Actividad Fsica y del Deporte.
Palacios' research brings together sports psychology, education, and information and communication technologies (ICTs). It has its origin in the author's working environment: "I work in a sports counselling company (Iceberg). Until I joined, they functioned with Sifolito, a programme for providing sports and psychological counselling. Using some questionnaires on paper they held interviews with sports people, gathered data on their state, etc. We realised that as sportspeople travel a lot, all this needed to be computerised; Sifolito needed to be developed through the new technologies." It was something that apparently had never been done before in sports psychology: "We haven't found anything like this."
From Sifolito to Teskal
Teskal has been developed on the basis of the same aims and methodology as Sifolito, the original programme. In other words, it is about optimising the sportsperson's performance by dealing with aspects linked to psychosocial capacities, like motivation, mood, anxiety, emotional control, decision-making processes, visualisation, self-effectiveness, c

Other Application Areas
Geospatial technology is no longer restricted to the world of high-tech firms. In fact, some of the industries that benefit the most are the ones you may least expect. For example: commercial farming. In the past, farmers spent much of their day walking the fields, eyeing crops, and probing the soil with bare hands to determine moisture levels. Without technology, many farmers had to rely on guesswork, misapplying seeding rates and wasting expensive chemicals. Oftentimes, farmers apply too much in fields where they're not needed and not enough in fields where they are needed. Remote sensing eliminates the guesswork by providing "prescription" maps that allow farmers to farm by the foot, not by the acre. This means more crops in less space, higher profits, and less environmental impact.
"Prescriptions" allow farmers to make better decisions about when and where to spray agricultural chemicals during the growing season. They use digital cameras to create high-resolution images of agricultural crops. From these images, color-coded maps are created to show plant health or vigor and determine variable-rate applications of herbicides, insecticides, plant growth regulator, and defoliant. These maps allow the farmer to apply chemicals only where they are needed. This results in cost savings for the farmer, more efficiency, and is more environmentally friendly.
Natural Resource Management
The applications of geospatial technologies are playing an ever-increasing role in conservation and natural resource management. As the world places increasing demands on our natural resources – water, earth, and air — advances in the science and technology behind remote sensing are making it more practical to conduct large-scale inventories and provide monitoring and evaluation of natural resources. Coupled with recent advances in GIS and spatial decision support systems, geospatial technology is taking natural resource management to a new level.
Maintaining forests in a vigorous, healthy condition is critical to forest management and planning. Threats such as invasive species infestations, fire, encroachment, and disease are all challenges faced by foresters. Geospatial data and tools are being used on a daily basis to address these issues. But it is much more effective to prevent an occurrence than to react once it has already happened. Maps generated from aerial and satellite imagery can be combined with information on forest age, soil type, species composition, canopy closure, and elevation/relief to identify areas at the highest risk for infestation by invasive pest or plant species. Geospatial technology is providing forest managers with the ability to reliably predict where infestations or other problems are most likely to occur, enabling preventive maintenance.
Golf courses are always seeking to cut a few strokes off the cost of daily and long term maintenance projects. The goal is to reduce the amounts of applied chemicals, water, and time necessary for maintenance without compromising the quality of the turf and course features. In an innovative approach to improving maintenance operations, golf courses are turning to geospatial technologies to help turf management staff improve water efficiency and properly plan for chemical mixing and applications. Many courses are now expanding their use of geospatial technologies, including the use of imagery products to contribute to the management, monitoring, and conservation of local habitat. This gives courses the ability to conduct major environmental monitoring projects that will protect a wide range of animal and plant species that inhabit golf courses while also enriching the game.
Water is something we use everyday, but hardly ever give a second thought about. But because Mississippi uses ground water for about 85 percent of its water use, it is very important to understand how an aquifer system responds to the stresses put on it so that this resource can be better managed. GIS technology can help manage critical data and create maps to describe the geology of an area, the direction of water flow, locate major pumping centers, and how water sources respond under stress. This helps ensure the quality and availability of our water supply.
Weather Forecasting
Ships sailing anywhere in the world can access up-to-the-minute weather information with pinpoint accuracy never before possible. Captains can decide whether to sail into the teeth of an oncoming storm, try to avoid it, or even whether to leave port. Thanks to geospatial technology, weather forecasting is becoming a more exact science than ever before. The technology provides highly detailed weather and wave forecast data that enhances situational awareness and decision-making capabilities when dealing with hazardous weather. These forecast applications can also be used in a number of other areas including: air pollution monitoring, coastal hazard and response support, marine transport, oil and gas operations, commercial fishing, aviation, agriculture, and insurance applications.
Public Health
When it comes to things like bird flu, SARS, and influenza, there is no denying that we live in a global society; events in far off countries are having an impact on our daily lives. This is particularly true for health service problems facing the world today. The globalization of infectious disease makes the use of geospatial technology critical across all healthcare systems.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become a vital tool for scientists and public health officials investigating the cause and spread of deadly diseases around the world. GIS and remote sensing are being used to address public health issues such as vector borne infectious diseases, respiratory illness, and skin and eye diseases that are related to conditions in the environment. Of particular interest to Mississippi are outbreaks of West Nile Virus.
GIS is also a powerful tool to analyze epidemiological data in order to survey and control infectious diseases, investigate and respond to outbreaks, and reveal trends. The technology allows users to visualize problems in relation to resources which allows for better allocation of those resources when responding to communities in need. Geospatial technology is proving to be a powerful tool in assisting public health officials to more effectively monitor and manage health events.
Marketing, Retail, and Media
Geospatial technology can help you find the right location for your next store, distribution center, or service department. The technology allows you to visualize market penetration, market share, and trade areas. Whether you are selecting the best sites, analyzing customers, or profiling market areas, geospatial technology can assist you. Maps generated by geospatial data and tools can offer a very detailed set of data such as consumer and business demographics, site survey information, historical customer purchasing patterns, travel routes, and competitor locations.
Many premier businesses, including Cole Haan, Friedman Jewelers, and Loehmann's Incorporated, have recently gotten in on the action. Cole Haan is using the technology to assist them in successfully expanding their shoe and accessory stores. Using geospatial technology, they will be able to determine the best markets and the optimal number of sites within those markets.
Friedman Jewelers is using the technology to assess and improve the performance of its stores as well as to develop more strategic real estate programs. These programs include assessment, based on sales potential, of the optimal real estate strategy in different markets, including the identification of new site opportunities, relocations, and store closures. It also enables them to answer questions such as whether mall locations are more or less advantageous than street level locations, taking into account synergies offered by adjacent stores and anchor stores, as well as other location-specific variables such as demographics, visibility, and accessibility.
Recreation: Fishing, Golfing, Bird Watching
Leisure time is more important than ever before. It is increasingly likely that households are working full time; hectic work and school schedules along with excessive commuting adds to the burden of the daily routine. All this hustle and bustle contributes to a greater need for recreational activities. And thanks to the transfer of technology to the private sector, new products continue to hit the marketplace daily that offer innovative ways to enhance your recreational activities.
Take fishing for example. With the help of data from remote sensing satellites, the 21st century fisherman can now head straight to the precise spot in the ocean where the big ones are running. Leaving the harbor with data such as water temperature, water clarity, and projected hot spots as well as forecasted winds and seas, the serious fisherman can better pinpoint the best places for finding fish. This enables fish enthusiasts the ability to maximize their time spent fishing while minimizing costs. This same information can be used by a wide variety of marine interests including sportsmen and commercial fishermen, as well as sailing and diving enthusiasts.
Geospatial technology may not be able to improve your golf swing, but it can definitely improve the courses where you play. A new way of viewing the golf course might help shave a stroke or two off your game. Thanks to aerial photography, the golfer no longer has to depend upon an artist's interpretation of the hole that is being played and the hazards which may be encountered. Now the golfer has a much more accurate picture of how the course looks and plays. In addition to the marketing value, the photographic overview helps groundskeepers spot potential trouble areas on the course before they turn into major headaches. For instance, groundskeepers can find diseased grass up to two weeks before it becomes visible to the naked eye.
Bird Watching
Using high technology for bird watching? Seems like an unlikely fit, but software programs are being used to track bird sightings using maps, aerial images, and databases. Simple interfaces are easy to operate, but are sophisticated enough for professional naturalists, rangers, and ornithologists. Users are able to link sightings on a map to a database of built-in or custom photos, information, and field notes. Latitude and longitude coordinates can be recorded from a handheld GPS as geographic 'bookmarks' for field sightings. Hobbyists can record various details of their outings including specimen characteristics, habitat and range, geographical position, and distinctive plumage.

Lemon & Raspberry Summer Cake
So, life for me has been wonderful! We picked him up from the airport Saturday morning and fell in love with him all over again….especially our little girl. She didn't realize how much she missed her Dad until he got home. This little girl love love loves her Daddy! So, yeah. We are all loving life and are feeling very grateful.
So, in honor of him coming home, I made a cake. He would have preferred chocolate, but I had a few lemons in the fridge and the raspberry bushes were dying to be picked! Fresh raspberries off the vine are incredible and one of my favorite things about summer so I made a cake to showcase them.
This cake is lightly sweet, has a hint of lemon flavor and just reaffirms the fact that summer is here…probably because its completely covered with ridiculously sweet raspberries. YUM.
After I sliced this baby up, I ended up picking all the raspberries off the top with my sister in law. {Since when do I ignore cake and eat fruit? That is so unlike me.} At the end of the day, we were left with half a cake, hardly any frosting and no raspberries. Lucky for me I can just go pick some more!
Hooray for Summer!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be at the beach with my favorite man.
Lemon & Raspberry Summer Cake
yield: 8-10 servings
Print This Recipe
for the cake-
1/2 cup coconut oil, coconut butter {or regular butter}
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 lemon, zested
3/4 cup self rising flour
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
for the frosting-
3 oz. room temperature cream cheese
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 lemon, zested
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
lots of fresh raspberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a circle out of parchment paper to line the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan. Lightly grease the pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whip butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in eggs, vanilla and lemon zest. Scrape sides and whip again. Alternate mixing in flours with milk. Scrape sides and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Spoon into prepared pan, smooth the top and bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Cool 15 minutes and then remove cake from pan. Cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, whip cream cheese in stand mixer to soften. Slowly stream in cream to incorporate evenly. If lumps start to form, stop mixing, scrape sides and continue to mix. Once all cream is incorporated, mixture should seem thick and smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate. Once frosting seems smooth, turn mixer on high and whip 2-3 minutes or until fluffy and light, similar to whipped cream but a little heavier. Spread all frosting over cooled cake and top with lots of fresh raspberries. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

I am an avid gardener and use this website often (thanks for the cool site) and I use the "Planting by the moon" dates given for vegetables. My question is this, Do you have "moon-dates" for flowers and shrubs etc. also? I have some elephant ear bulbs and some caladium bulbs I am wanting to plant, but I am not sure what sign to plant them in. Can you help me? Thanks so much.
There are not Moon dates for shrubs and flowers. If you assume flowers are "above-ground," then it would better to plant during the light of the Moon--from the new Moon to full Moon.

Images as words
Language and learning and development of words.
The two videos were lovely.
The first video had strong elements of drama: The character, knowing what was in the urn, surprised me when she pulled out a worm. I felt a sense of discovery when she did this. There was a communal gasp in our classroom when she stretched the worm-our class expressed concern for its safety.
The end of the second video, when the child looks directly into the camera and the video-frames were slowed down, was incredibly powerful. I felt extremely voyeuristic, and knowingly seen by her, at that moment. I liked the location of the film too; the background appeared to be a stairwell or hallway, a place of transition. I heard her words as 窶徙nff,窶? a combination/blending of 窶徙n窶? and 窶徙ff窶? as she was trying, unsuccessfully, to put the lens cap on the camera (meaning 窶徘ut the cap on窶? and 窶徼urn the camera off窶?).
The multi-layered digital collages were fun and playful on one hand, and disturbing on the other. The characters in the apocalyptic environment seemed to be oblivious of the forthcoming ominous pink cloud-it couldn窶冲 be good to breath even though it is pink. They also seemed unaware that some of their companions were wearing bear heads or conversely, the bear heads seemed unaware that their companions had human heads. They co-existed nicely; even with their differences-perhaps the surface of mars is actually friendly and tolerant of life.
Technically, I like the play of resolution. Typically, artists try to use high-quality images as a part of their palette of resources. Cheryl purposefully degraded the found images to claim them as her own, just as she takes 1950窶冱-like illustration of children and claims then as her own, just a child now-a-days can play with a prefabricated doll and create her own life story for the doll even though the manufacturer has the marketing tools prescribe the dolls name, what she wears, what time period she lives in. Children take that doll and create their own world. I think Cheryl has tapped into a way to push out the stereotypical definition, making room to create a strangely familiar world occupied with her own personally defined deja vu characters.

They may be simple bacteria, but they have an expert take on the principles of fluid dynamics.
Bugs such as Escherichia coli move by rotating a rod-like flagellum that trails from their cell wall. Experiments now show that this swimming stroke is no wild flailing, but a subtle technique to maximise thrust.
To model the movement of a bacterium's flagellum through water, mechanical engineer Bian Qian and colleagues at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, lowered an elastic rod into oil - they used oil as it simulates the viscosity of water at the scale of bacteria. The top end of the rod was connected to a motor and the rod was set at a slight angle before being rotated.
At slow speeds the rod remained rigid, tracing out the surface of a cone-as a weighted piece of string might if the weight swung in a circle. This simple motion ...

AMARILLO -- Amarillo Police were called out Sunday at 8:14 p.m. to the 1000 block of North Fillmore on an armed robbery.
Officers spoke with the employee stating that 2 suspects entered the store with something covering their faces. One of the suspects pulled out a pistol and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk then took off running out the back of the store and the suspect that was armed followed the clerk and possibly fired a shot at the clerk.
Officers were unable to locate any spent casing or any evidence of where the bullet struck. The suspects then took the entire cash register and left in a dark colored SUV.
Anyone with information on the identity of the suspects is asked to contact the Amarillo Police Department or call Amarillo Crime Stoppers at 374-4400.

Contrary to his usual "principle" (if one can call it that), Bishop White has actually shown himself willing to take on some of my arguments in writing. This marks a new turning-point in our warm relationship and Christian fellowship. Prior to now, by and large, White has ignored my written arguments and has stuck to mockery of how long and irrelevant and substanceless my papers allegedly are, etc. He did do a critique of my radio appearance on Catholic Answers Live, concerning Bible and Tradition, on several of his Dividing Line webcasts. I showed how shallow that was, by delving at length (I know, "ha ha") into one particular example of his "argumentation" there (unresponded to, of course). See: The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:6-30) vs. Sola Scriptura and James White.
My own suspicion (just a speculation, mind you) is that the "Armstrong writes meaningless sentences, full of sophistry and non sequitur, a million pages long" excuse rhetoric may be wearing thin among some White supporters (such as those he gabs with in his chat room). Perhaps a few of them have urged White to take me on, since (from their perspective) I am doing such harm to "the gospel" by my "verbose" rantings and ravings. After all, someone's gotta stop me, right, before I lead further uninformed, poor souls astray with my abominable Catholic apologetics, in defense of lies, the Antichrist, etc.? This excuse of his to avoid rational (and for the anti-Catholic, necessary) theological dispute just doesn't cut it, even by the rock-bottom, illogical, incoherent standards of discourse and evidence that characterizes the anti-Catholic mindset. So here we go.
Even so, I expect that he will write his thing, I'll respond, and then it'll be over (i.e., for that particular sub-topic; presumably one of the Bible passages I write about). That's how it has been since 1995 with White and I , since our lengthy postal exchange that he prematurely departed. But hey, he has now decided to change his policy of never engaging me in writing (except to mock and ridicule and dismiss), so maybe we'll be blessed with another radical innovation in his methodology: going more than one round in a written debate. Here is White's entire blog entry (12-29-04):
The Catholic Verses: Introit
I sometimes feel sorry for ancient artists. Their work gets plastered all across the covers of modern books, but they never get a dime for their efforts. It's a shame. That odd observation aside, I picked up a copy of Dave Armstrong's The Catholic Verses: 95 Bible Passages That Confound Protestants (Sophia Institute Press, 2004, 235 pp.), which sports said ancient art (a di Bondone painting) on its cover. I'm a Protestant, and I have yet to be confounded by Dave Armstrong, so I thought it might be interesting to invest some time in using it as a resource here on the blog.
Likewise, I was listening to a debate between a Church of Christ minister and Bill Rutland, another Roman Catholic apologist, yesterday. I was fascinated by Rutland's bold assertions about the Greek language (I'll be addressing him in time). When RC apologists like Armstrong and Rutland promote arguments in their writings and debates that are, in fact, invalid, we have a duty to respond to them, even if we have, in fact, responded to similiar kinds of errors dozens of times in the past. Why? Because the folks you may be seeking to win to the gospel may have a copy of The Catholic Verses on their nightstand, or a CD of Rutland's in their car.
Now, of course, DA will respond with text files (liberally salted with URL's) that will average 10x the word count of anything I have to say. That's OK. I shall win the award for brevity and concise expression, and let him take home the bragging rights to verbosity and bandwidth usage. Thankfully, there are folks "in channel" who can help me find out if there is, in fact, anything at all of substance in said replies, and if there is, I will seek to note it, again for only one reason: the edification of the saints both in their confidence in the gospel and in their preparation for the task of proclamation.
So we will begin with one of the classic passages in the Catholic/Protestant debate: 2 Thessalonians 2:15. I will start there in the next installment simply because Armstrong notes The Roman Catholic Controversy in his book, hence, his section on the verse should "confound" my own exegesis of the text. Does it? We shall see.
Yes we shall. I think we'll "see" quite a bit if White intends to take up this discussion in earnest. Just for fun, I may even write less words than he does (if indeed it is possible, seeing that his analyses are so filled with errors and misrepresentations -- especially of my own arguments -- that "brevity" is quite the gargantuan task and an exercise in extreme self-control, for one literally surrounded by falsehoods to be responded to briefly). That will provide a true challenge from White, for a change (if only indirectly), which would be nice.

While Sheds USA makes every effort to build your new shed as low to the ground as possible, chances are a ramp is going to be a huge help. Surface conditions, grade, and thickness of the floor system could mean that your shed floor is elevated higher than expected.
Sure, right now your push lawnmower and wheel barrow might be light enough to lift up into the shed, but someday your back might tell you different. A rugged, pressure-treated ramp will make life much easier if you plan to move wheeled items in and out of your new storage shed.
We all tend to acquire new equipment and tools as time goes on. After all, who goes to the hardware or home improvement store and leaves empty handed?! Depending on what you're storing, we offer different sizes of ramps. The 6-foot-long, heavy duty ramp is recommended for heavier items like motorcycles, lawn tractors, and golf cards. We also recommend a 6-foot-long ramp for a lower ramp angle.
Regardless of what you're storing, an installed ramp will automatically be sized to fit the widest door on your new shed. So as you peruse our outdoor sheds and related products, make sure you keep a ramp in mind. Down the road, you'll be happy you did.

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last eight minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.
Rated PG-13 for some violence including disturbing images, and for language.

You might think that when they sell a gun for $700 then they make a nice fat profit...no so much, they probably paid 650 for it from the wholesaler. Also small businesses are eaten alive by credit card fees, it used to cost me so much for credit card fees that I ended up just working on cash or check towards the end, which probably hurt sales a little, but when the transaction fees are as high as they are for the small business you can't absorb them and make a profit, and customers don't like paying a 15% surcharge to even the playing field out (just as you complained).
I guess I can believe that... I always wonder why there is such a discrepancy between retail and MSRP on guns as well.

The World Bank is indeed in a regressive phase. Not only is it promoting large dams again (22 March, p 11 and p 29), but it is also back into logging primary forests.
Last year the it overturned a 1991 forestry policy that prohibited funding of logging in primary moist tropical forests. Its new policy allows it to finance projects which destroy all but "critical" forests - officially recognised protected areas and sacred sites.
Non-governmental organisations consulted by the World Bank had urged the opposite: that the proscription on funding logging be extended to cover all old-growth forests. This was because the World Bank finances projects in Russia, which boasts 22 per cent of the world's forests but where old growth is under serious threat.
The World Bank also refused recommendations from its technical advisory group that the policy should require borrowers to comply with the international human ...

Nazila Fathi, an Iranian journalist for The New York Times and other publications, discussed her perilous experiences as a reporter and her eventual exile from her homeland in a speech before more than 50 students, faculty members, and local residents on Thursday evening.
Fathi spoke about how she came to be a reporter in such tumultuous territory.
"In 1991, many reporters came to Iran to report on an earthquake," Fathi recalled. "They needed a translator.... That was the beginning of my career as a journalist. The journalism bug bit me."
She recounted numerous anecdotes of life as a reporter under an oppressive regime.
"There were restrictions, there was red tape. There were times when my press card was revoked. There were dozens of social stories that the government didn't care about," Fathi said.
In June 2009, Fathi reported on the controversial Iranian election, in which incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defeated reformist candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Dispute over the legitimacy of the election sparked widespread revolt.
"I saw the most amazing scene that I have ever seen in my life," Fathi said. "The 6-mile street was packed with people, and the square was packed as well. Three million people had come despite government warning."
When government officials noticed Fathi's extensive reporting on the protests, she found herself under surveillance and began receiving death threats.
"One of those days I was going out, I received a call from someone who said, 'Nazila, they have identified you and they have snipers,'" Fathi said. "I still went out that day, because it was impossible not to."
For the safety of her family, she decided to leave Iran—temporarily, she thought.
"When I left Iran, I brought only a few t-shirts. I always expected to go back," Fathi said.
But after extending her time out of the country repeatedly, Fathi said she still does not feel safe enough to return.
She spent 2011 as a fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard and is currently a fellow at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy.
Thursday's talk was sponsored by the Harvard Writers at Work lecture series, which "emphasizes that Expos is not just a class that you're taking, but something that has many different applications in the real world—something that you can be passionate about," said Andrea Pitzer, a journalist who founded the Nieman Storyboard website.
Victoria Zhuang '15 agreed that the lecture was "expanding."
"This helped me cultivate awareness of events around the world," Zhuang said.

You don't think it's more insidious at it's core?
Speaking of algorithms, already knew it was going this way with regard to the control of information feeds, and I bet you already do to, but just watched this and it's a good reminder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bOE1HFEL8XA#!
its pimpdom
Oh, I don't doubt that there are agencies with their slimy tentacles threaded all throughout twitter, facebook, google, etc. And I don't doubt they are trying to control the flow of information.
What I was commenting on, was this one case cited. In the update on the article, the author says that twitter explained what happened and reinstated his account.
What I was speculating on, was how it may be possible for coordinated groups to conspire in effort to use twitter's built-in, automatic anti-spambots to silence the loudest voices of a given cause.
For example. Let's say it works like I speculated, ie. certain characteristics of a user's tweets combined with a high rate of other users marking/flagging them as spammers, gets the account removed.
If this is indeed how it works, then let me give another example how it might be used.
Let's say a handful of users put #VOTESKIPHUNT2012 in most or all of their tweets. And let's say that this handful of users started making enough noise about Skip Hunt's political aspirations, enough to attract the attention of another group of users who really don't like ol' Skip Hunt much at all and want to silence anyone supporting Mr. Hunt.
All they would have to do is isolate the handful who have the largest reach and have the #VOTESKIPHUNT2012 in the majority of their tweets and block/report the users as spammers. Now they aren't spammers, but the twitter anti-spambots don't know that. All they see is that a bunch of users have marked them as spammers and they have the same hashtags in most of their tweets so they look like spammers and get their accounts automatically shut down.
This group that didn't dig messages about Skip Hunt, just got his supporters effectively silenced.
Again, I don't know for sure that it works like this and the anti-spambots may be more sophisticated than this at spotting real spammers. All I was suggesting is that if users want to make their streams less vulnerable to being flagged as spam, make sure you mix up your tags and make sure you keep your stream varied enough that it won't get zapped.
Regarding SOPA. The way they have framed that looks very insidious to me. On one hand, I don't like it when people use my intellectual property for commercial profit without my authorization. However, they way they are trying to go about addressing intellectual property theft sounds more like they are using it to censor and get greater control over ALL the information.
What is R's position on SOPA? I've read it and at first blush it looks reasonable, but as you dig deeper, it looks like something fascists would love to use for silencing dissent.
SOPA trended on Twitter but NDAA did not and I know there were people out there determined to make it trend. It shows Twitter is only interested in our dollars, not our liberty and freedom of speech. I think part of the reason NDAA was able to pass is because there was a total media blackout on it for the most part and there's probably lots of people who haven't even heard of it. SOPA, hell, most of these corporate web sites will censor whatever the powers that be want them to anyway.
Not so sure this was twitter censoring. They restored the account. It looks like their system dumped the account in bulk with a bunch of other spam accounts.
I don't know for sure how it works and this is pure speculation, but I bet twitter's automated algorithm measures repetition of key words in posts and pairs that with how many users have blocked, or reported an account as spam. If an account meets certain criteria for repeated keywords and enough blocks/spam reports, then it likely uses that to automatically dump an account.
Again, more wild speculation… If it indeed works like this and if enough people didn't like what another group were tweeting, it would be easy to ban together and get someone shut down by the auto-dumped along with the rest of the spam trash.
When spammers use automated systems to flood accounts with spam links, they repeat the same terms in their tweets, much like someone tweeting about Occupy would add #OWS to all their tweets. Then, if a bunch of people out there who don't like what the Occupiers are doing mark those accounts as blocked or report them as spam, then they could easily silence people like they did back when they were banning together to boycott certain companies and bull doze Dixie Chicks CDs for example.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this is what's happening. If you have a cause you want to tweet about, make sure you mix it up enough with your key words so that the system doesn't flag you as a spammer and dump your account.
Fine line between SLAVE labor and SLAVE wages.
The link is dead.

Chicanos Por La Causa gets $125K grant
TEMPE, Ariz. -- A local group is getting a partner and a big financial boost to help those in need.
Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) is getting a $125,000 grant from Neighborworks America, a nationwide group that teams with 250 organizations nationwide to provide affordable housing for low income families. CPLC helped more than 15,000 Arizonans with housing, counseling and other services last year.
Neighborworks America CEO Tom Chabolla is glad to have Chicanos Por La Causa as a partner to provide affordable housing in the Phoenix area.
"They have a proven track record of being able to deliver affordable housing to low-income families, to provide jobs and to create opportunities wherever they go," Chabolla said.
CPLC CEO Edmundo Hidalgo said his group will use the money to help those in need to get housing.
"These are people who are living paycheck to paycheck, and people are still upside down on their mortgages," Hidalgo said. "Others are trying to become homeowners, but they want to be able to prepare themselves to do that."
Hidalgo said that Chicanos Por La Causa offers housing counseling to get people ready for home ownership.
One person who is excited about the grant is Arizona Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema. She said Chicanos Por La Causa has been helping Arizonans for over 20 years.
"When I first started my career as a young social worker in Sunnyslope, that's when I met CPLC," Sinema said. "They've been working with families of all kinds throughout the state for many, many years. They've been helping people find long-term opportunities for housing and stay in Arizona."

Train Like Mike | Hopkins NASA Bio
After fulfilling his dream of becoming a NASA astronaut in 2009, former Illini football captain Michael (Mike) Hopkins is getting his first chance in space only four years after being named an astronaut. Hopkins is the first from his 2009 class of 14 members to be invited on a mission. Expedition 37/38 is scheduled to fly out of Russia in September to the International Space Center and returns in March 2014.
"That only means I'm the first, it doesn't mean I'm the best," Hopkins said modestly.
Hopkins has had his eye on the skies since high school, and working toward achieving his goal has taken a lot of steps and patience. Finally achieving his lifelong dream hasn't fully hit the former Illinois defensive back.
"You get called into the chief of the astronauts' office," Hopkins said. "And they say `Hey, we want to assign you to this expedition.' I would have said that there couldn't be a better feeling than when I got that phone call to say, `we want you to come to Houston and become an astronaut,' but it actually was a better feeling when I got called into the office and she said, `Mike, I want to assign you to expedition 37 and 38. Would you like to go?' That was just an incredible feeling. I think that brought it one step closer to reality. I'm still not there yet until we depart."
Expedition 37/38 will be in orbit for nearly six months, during which the crew - Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov, Expedition 37 flight engineer and Expedition 38 commander; along with Hopkins and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Ryazanskiy, both Expedition 37/38 flight engineers - will be checking to make sure the station is in good condition, and also for the Russian segment, to install the new MLM (Multipurpose Laboratory Module.) A variety of biological experiments will also take place on board.
"I'm very excited about waking up one morning and thinking, `Holy smokes, I'm in space,'" the Richland, Mo., native said.
Hopkins' drive and passion got him into the game at Illinois. An aerospace engineering major, he also joined a fraternity, Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) and became an active athlete on campus.
"First thing that had a huge impact on my life is, I met my wife there [at Illinois] and she has been a huge part of this adventure I've been on," Hopkins said.
The father of two is grateful for his support system at home, but his support on the field had just as much of an influence on his future at NASA.
"Now, I'll admit at the time I just wanted to play football, and I wanted to play football at Illinois, and I got that opportunity," Hopkins said. "It was some of the best years of my life and I absolutely loved it. I love the excitement, the energy, the incredible group of people that you get to play ball with, it was a fantastic experience. As my career has progressed into the Air Force and now here at NASA, you look back on that and you realize - for me - how important that was to getting here, to being a part of NASA."
Hopkins played under two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year John Mackovic and, although Hopkins is doing something drastically different than football, he's found that similarities between his past and present are more common than he thought they would be.
"The little things that you don't think about at the time of playing football," Hopkins said. "The being a part of a team, and working through when things are tough, when your guys are struggling in practice and you're down and you've had a rough game and [it] didn't quite come out the right way. Working through all of those things as a group and figuring out what the next step is. Invaluable lessons that have just played a huge impact on my training here at NASA because all of a sudden, now you're a six-person crew and you're in an emergency situation trainer, or something like that, and you realize, `Hey, I've kind of been here before.' It looks a little bit different; no one's trying to tackle or hit me or anything, but there are some similarities there."
Hopkins got the opportunity to step back onto the field as an honorary captain in 2010 when Illinois defeated Baylor in the Texas Bowl in Houston. He was named an honorary captain with fellow Illini, former hockey player and retired NASA astronaut Lee Archambault.
"It was absolutely fantastic," Hopkins said. "We got the opportunity to meet the coach, Coach Zook, and he actually came down and spent time here with us at JSC (Johnson Space Center), which was great. We got to watch some of the practices and got the experience of stepping out onto the field, and it's been awhile since I've stepped on a field like that. It brought back a lot of great memories. It was a wonderful experience, one I truly cherished and am certainly thankful for."
Unfortunately, due to his busy schedule, Hopkins hasn't been able to stay in touch with his teammates and coaches as much as he would like. Two years ago, Illinois hosted a reunion at the spring game for the class of 1991 football players.
"That was a great experience," Hopkins said. "It was wonderful to see a lot of my teammates, and I was really - I don't want to say blown away - but really impressed by a lot of the team: physicians, and of course there's Howard Griffith out there that's on the TV all the time. There are guys doing research, Ph.D.'s that are still there (at Illinois). I was quite impressed with my teammates."
During this year's football season, Hopkins will be on his mission, but he plans to cheer on the Orange and Blue from the shuttle.
"One of the great things we have when we're up on station is the support office," Hopkins said. "They just do a fantastic job of helping us make life a little more normal while we're up there and so we're able to request TV shows or anything like that, so of course I've requested to make sure I have all of the games. So I may not get it live, but rest assured I'll certainly be watching every game."
Hopkins has been active since early childhood, and is a big supporter of NASA's Fit Explorer: Train Like an Astronaut program. The program encourages kids to get out and increase physical fitness in their lives. It's supposed to "get them excited about fitness and excited about space," Hopkins said.
Hopkins exercises a couple hours a day on site with a team of trainers, and plans to maintain his routine while in space. His "Train like Mike" program will follow him throughout his mission, and either Mike or his trainers will have videos and updates at least weekly. The campaign shows the importance of exercise and nutrition throughout the mission, and most importantly after the mission, which is when the most critical rehabilitation, strength and conditioning training occur.
"It's hard to put into words what it's like here," Hopkins said. "Obviously, this is something I'm very passionate about and one of the ways I describe it is, I just feel like home here. I feel like this is where I was meant to be, the job that I was meant to do and I feel very blessed that I'm getting the opportunity to do it. Every day is different, incredible and amazing and fun, so it's just been a wonderful experience."
Until his departure at the end of September, Hopkins will continue his prep work and kick off his "Train like Mike" campaign. But he has a lot to do before he gets his first taste of space, "I expect the reality will hit about the time when the countdown hits zero, and the rocket lights and we start to go."

The design of refrigeration cabinets and the siting of the fridge will have a far more dramatic effect on energy use than the proposal to fit them with cycle counters that you report (30 July, p 24). Fridges are already on the market that draw as little as 19 watts, compared with the usual 100 watts or more.
Domestic fridges in general have a very poor power factor without even considering the real baddies: defrost elements, which draw power when the compressor is not running.

Cheerleading was established in the late 1800s as a way to encourage sports teams and uplift fans. It has evolved over the years to become a very competitive sport itself that requires a lot of hard work, training and practice, dedication, and physical fitness. Cheerleading, and the hard work that comes with it, isn't reserved just for sports games, though. Many cheerleaders get the opportunity to perform in competitions with other cheerleading teams. These competitions earn the cheerleaders recognition and various other awards such as metals, trophies, scholarships, and money. The competitions and many other aspects of cheerleading often would not be possible without cheerleading fundraisers.
Cheerleading fundraisers are often held to raise money for things like uniforms, cheer camp, travel expenses, competitions, and coaching fees. These expenses can add up quickly but are necessary for cheerleading teams to become successful. Cheerleading uniforms alone can cost well into the hundreds of dollars and are the most important expense for cheerleaders aside from the training they receive from their coaches, who also have to be paid for their time and the skills they teach to their teams.
Cheerleaders attend cheer camps where they work exceptionally hard and long hours to learn different cheers, stunts, and routines. Then there are also competition fees, hotel expenses for competitions out of town, and travel expenses to and from competitions and games. Because the fundraisers are so important to the possibility and success of the teams, sometimes cheerleaders must think outside of the box to come up with new cheerleading fundraising ideas to help them pay for all these expenses.
There are many outdated forms of cheerleading fundraisers that cheer teams use such as selling products or food items, holding raffles, car washes, and team booster events. The trouble with a lot of these cheerleading fundraising ideas is that the products they're trying to sell are usually quite expensive and sometimes people cannot justify spending money on something they don't really need or want, so the cheerleaders have a difficult time raising enough money to pay for all their expenses.
A better idea would be for cheerleaders to sell fundraising discount cards. Fundraising cards offer huge discounts to people on things they already do and places they already go such as dining out, going to theme parks, shopping, going to movie theaters, traveling, and many other places and activities. A discount card fundraiser would be an easier sell than candles, cookies, or car washes because everyone likes to save money when they can, and by purchasing fundraising discount cards they will be able to save far more than what they spent on the card itself - supporters love that!
Another great advantage to selling our discount cards is that the fundraiser is not limited to a local area like so many fundraisers are. Because we have around 300,000 discounts all over the country for your cheer supporters, the cards can be purchased by people who live in another city, state, or even another country, so the profits made from the fundraiser can increase that much more. If you've been looking at cheerleading fundraising ideas and want fundraiser that will give your team the most profits and will offer the most benefits to the people who buy the products to support your cheer team, then our discount card fundraiser is the best option for you.

'Kyle XY' slums it with the mediocre humans
I'd love to blame Jessi for this latest Kyle XY drama, but she's really not at fault. Well, maybe indirectly.
Spoilers hidden in a subliminal frequency on a 45.
Kyle is officially on the fritz. He's just a giver, and it seems like everyone else who claims to love him is a taker. Whether it's helping Josh/Declan/Hillary/Amanda with their studies, Lori with her song for the prom contest or Stephen with his romantic anniversary dinner for Nicole, our poor boy is getting his genetic wires crossed.
Not only is his super-hearing working overtime, but he's like ... normal. Kyle is bumping into furniture, getting test questions wrong and messing up Stephen's lobster sauce. He's fallible and pitiful. Jessi put it best: "When did you get so ordinary?" Shut up, smug beyotch! When we want to know your take on a situation you have no knowledge about, we'll ask you. Oh, and you haven't mastered humor either.
There's an odd byproduct of Kyle's malady, and that's numerous pictures he makes all dot-matrix-y using primary colors. The only problem is, they make no sense ... until Adam Baylin shows up. Like a doctor, apparently he makes housecalls. Adam claims that the 45 of "She Could Be You" (Adam and Sarah's song. Aww!) contains secret messages they sent to each other back in the day as a lark.
But who could be sending this message? The 45 was left anonymously with Jessi. Could Sarah still be alive? Would anyone in the audience be surprised if this happened? The Tragers scan Kyle's 400-odd photos and play them in rapid succession, like frames in a film, until they make an image: The Ladnoc symbol in red with the words "I'm Alive" written across it. No, it's not a message from Eddie Vedder. Adam divulges that he gave a one-of-a-kind red-stoned Ladnoc ring to Sarah.
So we see where this is going? They want us to believe that Sarah is alive, and the evidence (and scenes from next week's episode) is pretty compelling. But then again, I was completely drawn in by the red herring this week: That Kyle was short-circuited by putting Andy's cancer in remission last episode. You know what? I still believe that. Maybe it was a combo of that and the stupid message on the record. Yeah, I'm sticking with that, and you can't tell me different.
Assorted thoughts and highlights:
- Kyle thinks up four out of 12 words that have the same end rhyme with "corsage." What are all 12?
- There's something off about Jessi and wrong about this Sarah character. They give me the creeps.
- Loved how they brought back Hillary's hidden cooking talent as a way to help out Stephen. Disappointed that it was just a salad though.
- Priceless how Andy's two moms celebrate her remission with pizza and batting cages.
- Hillary to Stephen about Lori and Mark's rapport: "Snarky remarks hidden in sheep's clothing ... aggro flirting is thinly disguised sexual tension."
- Still not buying Lori and Mark, but maybe he needs to break her heart so she can go back to Declan. Like Hillary, I think they should be "Leclan."
- Can we stop it with the weird subtextual flirting between Kyle and Nicole? They have what Kyle and Ablanda lack. The ending scene where she visits his bathtub is particularly weird when he tells her, "I think you're special enough to handle it all" was just creepy!!
- Fave aww moment from Josh to Kyle: "You can say what you want, but I still would like to think that you helped [Andy]."
So, is Sarah alive? What does she want? What about Mark's role in this? Your opinion on Kyle's weird condition?

Chinese Ambassador Zhuo Yuxiao says all ongoing Chinese-sponsored projects in the country will be completed and formally turned over to the Liberian Government on July 26, 2010.
Ambassador Zhou named the ongoing rehabilitation of the Central Agriculture Research Institute (CARI) in Suakoko, Bong County; the construction of the University of Liberia's Fendell Campus as well as the Tappita Hospital in Nimba County as projects expected to be dedicated in 2010.
The Chinese envoy also hailed President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and the Government of Liberia for the level of progress achieved in the country since her incumbency.
He reiterated the strong ties subsisting between the Republic of Liberia and the People's Republic of China and added that following the dedication of those projects, China will engage the Government of Liberia to discuss programs for the next three years.
Ambassador Zhou made the statement recently during a reception held at a local Hotel by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in honor of some staff of the Ministry who went on study tours in China during the year 2009.
The Assistant Foreign Minister for Public Affairs, Mr. Josephus M. Gray, extolled the Chinese Ambassador and the Government of the People's Republic of China for supporting Liberia's recovery efforts.
He recounted the cordial ties subsisting between Liberia and China, and the enormous projects the Chinese Government is undertaking in the country.
Speaking further, Mr. Gray appealed to the Chinese envoy to extend scholarships to more Liberians particularly those in both the public and private sector to enhance the country's capacity building drive.
Minister Gray then commended the Chinese military contingent serving with UNMIL for constructing a road linking Grand Gedeh and River Gee Counties in southeast Liberia.
