such as "Introduction", "Conclusion"..etc
In this work, organelle-enriched fractions were obtained
from mussel digestive glands and separated into 2-DE gels.
Four biological replicates were run per sampling site and
experimental group. In total 40 gels were obtained from the
field experiment and 24 gels from the laboratory exposure.
Automatic spot detection parameters were adjusted so that
approximately 400 spots were detected per gel. In general
the gels were alike each other, although several high-abundance
spots and gel areas were found in particular cases.
Laboratory Exposure
Differences between K, FF and WF samples were analyzed
after 2- and 16-day exposures. First, we conducted a
PCA analysis using the whole dataset comprised of 468
spots. The results did not give a satisfactory separation of
the six groups, and the variance explained by the first two
components was of 54%. Therefore, the two-way ANOVA
was applied to the whole dataset and 178 spots were separated
for which the ANOVA model separated the six groups
on a 1% significance level. In other words, there were 178
spots for which the null hypothesis that all groups were equal
on a 1% significance level could be rejected. Applying FDR
at a 5% rate, a set of 148 spots was selected, about eight of
which (5% of 148) were expected to be false discoveries.
Including both 2- and 16-days exposure data in the PCA, a clear separation of groups could not be obtained. Taking
the 2- and 16-day exposures separately, only the 16-day
exposure data gave a clear separation of groups. Therefore,
the 2-days exposure data was excluded, and analysis
proceeded with the 16-days data only. It was hypothesized
that this data would provide the analysis with a more realistic
picture of the mechanisms of response to the pollution at
a molecular level. To further improve the separation of the
PCA, seven spots that showed high variation within one of
the groups, were removed, and a neat separation of the
three exposure groups was obtained with the selected 141
spots forming the PES. The first principal component separated
the K, WF and FF groups form each other, and the
second component separated the WF from the K and FF
groups, indicating that the selected PES may be used to
classify mussels according to exposure to the different
sources of oil under study. The PCA score plots for the 2-
and 16-day exposures are shown in Figure 2. At this point
one could obtain a different selection of spots with a oneway
ANOVA procedure on the 16-day exposure data subset.
Although this was a possibility, the exposure groups'
separation with the current selection of PES was satisfactory,
and therefore they were kept for the following analyses.
Questions we cannot answer in a qualitative way from
the present small experiment are how the mussels are affected
by the concentration of oil, the age of the oil, and the amount of time exposed to oil. The reasons for that are the
scarce amount of data (12 observations), and the lack of
additional data that could be used to validate a potential model
with. Hence, we only attempted to find out if there were
spots forming a PES that may be used to separate mussels
into groups of exposed to oil spill, from unexposed ones.
Field Experiment
The proteome profiles of ten sampling sites in the NW
and NE coasts of the Iberian Peninsula were analyzed after
two and a half years after the Prestige's oil spill, and the
values of the PES selected by ANOVA, FDR, and PCA
Therefore, spots in the master gel from the field experiment
were matched to the master gel from the laboratory
exposure group. Furthermore, the 40 gels from the field
experiment were manually checked. If any of the 141 selected
spots had not been matched previously, the matching
was performed. Vol% values of these 141 spots from
each sampling site were plotted in the PCA (Figure 3). It
was observed that all the stations were placed closer to the
WF group than to the K or FF groups. In particular, following
the separation of groups by the first component, several
groups were found closer to the FF: three samples from
Arrigunaga (Figure 3B), two samples from Gorliz and
Mundaka (Figure 3C and D), one sample from Camelle
(Figure 3G), all the samples from Caldebarcos (Figure 3H),
and three samples from Sao Bartolomeu (Figure 3J). None
of the groups was closer to the K group in the first component
separation. Moreover, all the groups were closer to the
WF following the separation by the second component. It is
worth mentioning that mussels for the laboratory experiment
were collected from Mundaka in September 2005. Mundaka is considered a relatively clean sampling site (Orbea and Cajaraville, 2006). But our data showed that samples
collected in Mundaka in July 2005 were clustered around
the samples exposed to the WF. As it was mentioned before,
owing to the scarce amount of data, no strong model
was obtained in this study, so it could not be concluded
whether Mundaka was polluted or not. Nevertheless, with
this study it was meant to show that, in the hypothetical
case when a strong model was obtained from laboratory
exposure experiments, that model could be used to classify
the data from field experiments, and thereby, give information
about the health status of mussels.
As a conclusion, applying our proteomics approach to the
study of mussels exposed to WF and FF, and to non-exposed
mussels, these groups were separated by PCA based
on a set of spots forming a PES obtained by ANOVA and
FDR analyses. In this study, we did not try to obtain a model that can predict sources of fuel oil pollution since our data
set was too small, and we did not have an external data set
for cross-validating a possible model. But, in the future, that
set of 141 spots could be used to build and validate a robust
model to use it with classification purposes. As an example
of how this model could be used in the future, the same set
of protein spots was used to group samples collected at ten
sampling sites along the NW and NE coasts of the Iberian
Peninsula two and a half years after the Prestige's oil spill.
These samples were grouped closer to the WF, rather than
to the K or FF. This application would be valuable for classifying
data based on an oil pollution model, but it would not
detect other sources of pollution; for that purpose, models
for different pollutants or mixtures of them will have to be
built based on a combination of univariate and multivariate
analyses. These kinds of models would take into account
the orchestrated changes among proteins, and not fluctuations
in individual proteins, as is the case when univariate
analyses alone are applied. We believe that the development
and validation of models that can predict sources of
pollution based on protein expression signatures will be an
important step towards robust methods for marine pollution
biomonitoring in the near future. Moreover, these protein
expression signatures will not be affected by biotic and abiotic
factors as much as single parameter biomarkers could
be influenced. The characteristics of the method hereby
applied are the simplicity of the experimental procedure,
the possibility to high-throughput, the low experimental and
ecological (number of samples needed) costs, and the possibility
of, at a glance, screening the global response to pollution.
Enter the code exactly as it appears. All letters are case insensitive.

While iOS was a big yawn as far as technology is concerned, it seems that one of the headline changes is based on material from Microsoft.
Apple released its mapping software which it said made Google's software redundant.
So far only a few screen shots of the new iOS6 have come out but sharp-eyed kiwi developer Cody Cooper noticed something familiar with the snaps of the mapping software.
The snaps were leaked iOS 6 beta screenshots showing TomTom attribution and nearly 16 map providers but fails to acknowlege Apple's old sparring partner Microsoft.
Cooper thinks this is odd as some of the maps come straight from Microsoft's Bing Maps.
While the images belong to Microsoft, they are not listed in the full attribution list provided by Apple.
For years Apple and Microsoft have been rivals, based mostly on marketing that dates back to the 1980s. While it seems that Apple is using Bing Maps for its new service, it does not appear to want to announce the fact. Either that or it just pinched the maps and hoped that no-one would notice. What appears to have happened is that Apple did not check its partners particular closely.
One of the more important map makers is OpenStreetMap which is well attributed by Apple.
OpenStreetMap has been closely allied with Microsoft for nearly two years and uses Bing Maps.
As a result, Apple fanboys will be dependant on Microsoft to tell them where to go. Jobs will be spinning in his vault.

New article How to Develop a Profitable Trading Strategy has been published:
This article provides an answer to the question: "Is it possible to formulate an automated trading strategy based on history data with neural networks?".
The process of developing successful trading strategies with
implementation of technical analysis can be divided into several stages:
- Attach several technical indicators to a chart window of a financial instrument's price, and identify patterns of market correlations and signal indicators.
- Formulate data obtained from the previous correlation step.
- Convert strategy to a relevant programming language to create a mechanical trading system.
- Run the trading system through a simulator based on history data and try to match its input parameters (optimize).
- If the previous step hasn't increased the balance, proceed to step 1.
- Run the system obtained through the previous stages on demo accounts for testing.
- If the previous step hasn't brought any profit from virtual money, proceed to step 1.
- Use the system in real-life trading, occasionally adjusting its input parameters to the changing market conditions.
Let's see what happens, if we try to computerize the whole process.
This article analyzes the use of a simple single-layer neural network for identifying the future price movements based on the readings of the Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Oscillator.

I AM considered an expert on the subject of whingeing but I hereby relinquish my title as curmudgeon-in-chief to the Hotline nation.
Debts are rising and gates are falling, which ought to be a cause for concern and the cue to start the search for a solution before we really are in serious trouble.
But there's an unmissable element of glee surrounding the SPL's difficulties. And it finds its voice in the Rangers supporters who say hell mend the clubs in the top 12 for playing their part in consigning the Ibrox side to the Third Division.
William King, Hamilton, said: "Only two SPL attendances at the weekend were bigger than the crowd to see Rangers play in Peterhead.
"That means it's a nonsense to suggest the SPL doesn't miss my team. It also begs the question of where the fans have gone who said they'd turn out to see their sides in greater numbers if Rangers were properly dealt with by the governing bodies."
John Bruce, Glasgow, emailed: "A major consequence of the SPL's decision to refuse Rangers entry has been the loss of a huge chunk of vital revenue for their ailing clubs.
"There's a possible winding- up order at Killie and perpetual money problems at Hearts. Rangers fans have no sympathy for these people. They have made their bed and can lie in it."
Ian McAllister, Banff, said: "You would need to be a clown to think the way the SFA, SFL and SPL dealt with Rangers last summer was correct. There are Spanish clubs in financial difficulty but I don't see the people running La Liga treating them the way Rangers were dealt with."
But Iain Wylie, Paisley, offered a counter argument when he said: "I don't understand the flak the SPL takes over what happened to Rangers. SFL clubs voted them into the Third Division because they wanted an unprecedented level of revenue to follow.
"Now they want the 12-12-18 set-up in order to keep Rangers going to places like Peterhead next year.
"SFL president Jim Ballantyne and chief executive David Longmuir are getting off lightly while someone like Stephen Thompson at Dundee United takes the rap."
Before we leave Peterhead, Alan McGaw, Alloa, said: "I thought the tackling from the Peterhead players on Sunday was incredible. Surely SFA compliance officer Vincent Lunny should take his nose out of the SPL and punish wrongdoers elsewhere."
Ian Loudon, Dunfermline, said: "Peterhead manager Jim McInally has a cheek to complain about a red card for his side costing them the chance to win against Rangers.
"His team did their best to ensure Ally McCoist's team didn't finish with 11 men on the park. They were guilty of thuggery." Now for another rammy, which was started by Barra Stevens, Edinburgh. He said: "The hype about Gary Hooper is laughable. He's a good striker in a Mickey Mouse league and that's all."
Charles Gardner, Lochee, said: "Hooper is overrated. Celtic should take the money from Norwich and ask for Grant Holt as well."
Eddie Easson, Fife, emailed: "Celtic will sell Hooper if the price is right but he can say goodbye to European football after that because Norwich City are a small, struggling team."
Who play in the English Premier League.
Chris Lowe, Glasgow, emailed: "Norwich would be better going after Motherwell's Michael Higdon or Dundee United's Johnny Russell than Hooper. It's the SPL Hooper's scoring in, not La Liga."
And which division do Higdon and Russell play in?
Celtic are romping the SPL but all is not well. Kheren McLaren, Kirkintilloch, said: "Iain Brines at Celtic v Hearts gave the worst display of refereeing I have ever seen. He ruined the game."
Not for Neil Lennon.
Kevin McQuade, New Stevenston, said: "I predict Mark McGhee won't be with Scotland for long. Celtic will beat Juventus in the Champions League and Neil Lennon will go to a top English side.
"Then McGhee will take over the club as he should have done before Tony Mowbray was appointed." Tell us who wins the Derby and the Eurovision Song contest while you've got your crystal ball out?
Ian Grant, Falkirk, said: "There are Celtic fans ripping off other Celtic fans by selling tickets for the Juve game at grossly inflated prices. The club should track these people down and ban them."
Tony Mullen, Glasgow, said: "There's a ticket for the Juve game on eBay for £1500. It's profiteering of the worst kind when one fan makes money at the expense of his fellow Celtic supporter."
Agreed. But at least we're talking about a ground that will be full. How are we going to put bums on seats elsewhere, even at reduced prices?

Sex has always taken center stage in the splendid albeit sordid lives of legendary rock stars.
Many of rock and roll's royals have endured dramatic love triangles as they swapped lovers, wives, girlfriends and groupies.
Despite the broken hearts and friendships, many of these rock and roll bands stayed together and turned their pain into memorable hit songs.
There was the romantic run-around that fueled Fleetwood Mac's Rumors and the constant partner swapping with Rolling Stones members. This doesn't even include the revolving door of rock and roll groupies.
Take a peek at these legendary out-of-bounds romantic excursions that turned into rockstar melodrama.
If you want to see some of these musicians in person, check out the Top 10 Rock Star Restaurant Hang Outs In Los Angeles.
When Joey Ramone met Linda Daniele, it was true love. While they were together, Johnny Ramone took a liking to Linda and decided he wanted her for himself. Johnny's relentless and cavalier pursuit won Linda's heart and he swiped Joey's girl. Joey was heart broken and the bros went to blows over Linda, who had inspired the Ramones' song She's A Sensation. Although Joey and Johnny never completely mended their friendship, the Ramones stuck it out and Linda stayed true to her Johnny until his death in 2004.
Fleetwood Mac's Grammy award winning album Rumours is laden with unforgettable tracks that captured band members' raw emotions as their romantic affairs were falling apart. Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham were on the verge of calling it quits when they recorded tracks like Go You Own Way and Dreams. John McVie and Christine McVie's marriage was unraveling when she recorded You Make Loving Fun about her new beaux. Needless to say there was plenty of drama in the studio . Add Stevie Nicks' and Mic Fleetwood's impetuous affair to the mix and you get one the best selling albums of all time.
When John Phillips discovered that Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty were getting it on behind his back, he forced Denny to co-write the track "I Saw Her Again" with him as a way to torture the handsome tenor for sleeping with his wife. Mama Cass wasn't left out of this drama, she had been madly in love with Denny for years and had her heart broken when Denny turned down her marriage proposal. Tensions between the love-lorn members of The Mamas and The Papas eventually lead to Michelle getting the boot. The band only lasted a few years, but this drama inspired some of their greatest hits.
Patty Boyd was married to George Harrison when Eric Clapton began lurking around and casually flirting with her. While George nurtured his spiritual curiosities and cocaine habit, Eric lured Patty away with his tenacious advances. Clapton wrote Layla for Patty and presented it to her as a way to woo her. Although she initially remained faithful to George, who had written his most famous single Something for her, she couldn't resist Clapton's passion and left George. Patty and Eric stayed together for eight years before undergoing their own relationship turmoil and splitting up. Years later when the three of them ran into each other, George kept it cool and let them know that he wasn't holding a grudge.
Courtney Love was dating alternative rocker, Billy Corgan, when she first hooked up with Kurt Cobain. It was during a visit to Minneapolis to hook up with Corgan that her on and off romance with the Smashing Pumpkins frontman was permanently Kurt-tailed by Cobain. Kurt and Courtney shacked up at The Omni Northstar Hotel, and as fate would have it, Frances Bean Cobain was conceived. Kurt and Courtney were married and had a tumultuous relationship that ended when Kurt took his life. Although rumors that Corgan and Love rekindled their romance after Kurt's death have never been confirmed, the ex-lovers were recently engaged in a viscous twitter fight.
Both Tommy Lee and Kid Rock were once married to busty bombshell Pamela Anderson. Their mutual love for the femme fatale, and their over blown egos, resulted in a now historic scuffle at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Their animosity towards one another finally came to a head when Kid Rock struck Lee. Although Lee was being flirtatious with his ex-wife at the show, Kid Rock cited Lee's taunts during his split with Anderson as the inciting incident. Pamela wasn't impressed by the fight and playfully quipped about their childish behavior. This love triangle was short lived when Anderson moved on and distanced herself from Kid Rock and Tommy Lee with new man.
The Rolling Stones never let on to the all the drama within the band, but Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were always bumping heads. Tensions between the iconic rockers reached a peak when Richards confessed to his romp in the sack with Jagger's love, Marianne Faithfull. In his autobiography, Keith boasted a motor boating sesh in Marianne's bosom while taking shots at Jagger's junk. Keith Richards and Marianne Faithfull's sex-capade ended with Richards jumping out a window to avoid being caught by Mick. Faithfull looks back on the affair fondly and still jokes with Richards about the steamy caper.
Rocker Todd Rundgren, and self proclaimed muse Bebe Buell, were an item when Buell ran off with Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler. Although Buell was known to have been involved with many of rock and roll's hottest stars while living with Rundgren, it was her tryst with Tyler that gave way to a love triangle. Buell became pregnant with actress Liv Tyler and kept Steven Tyler out of the loop because of his drug use. Rundgren dutifully played the father figure to Liv for most of her early childhood before Steven Tyler was given the news. Over the years, this melodramatic love triangle turned into an extended family leaving Liv with two rockstar dads.
Actress and model, Anita Pallenberg's two year relationship with Rolling Stones' founding member Brian Jones was cut short when band mate Keith Richards swept her up and gallantly rescued her from Jones' abusive tendencies. Pallenberg and Richards were together for nearly ten years and had two children but their relationship was no fairytale. Pallenberg seduced sexy frontman Mick Jagger while filming the '70s crime drama, Performance. Keith Richards scored his revenge by shacking up with Jagger's main squeeze, Marianne Faithfull.

Pask's Words and What We Want From Them:
A Conversation Around Concepts from Conversation TheoryDr Paul Pangaro
President, PANGARO Incorporated
Cambridge, Massachusetts
23 February 1994 7-10 pm
Antioch University Seattle Arbor Place Building
Conversation Theory as elaborated by Gordon Pask offers a formal framework in which to explore notions such as interaction, participant, analogy, objectivity, agreement, understanding, knowing, intelligence, and amity (a.k.a. love). Pask has provided very specific meanings for all of these terms, whose details and coherence to the whole theory provide useful tools and important reference for those of us working in the context of second-order cybernetics. Unfortunately, those meanings appear to be entangled in a body of work that, as it ages, seems less likely to be available to us.
Working from "first principles" of the theory, Pangaro will expand concepts of Conversation Theory from within its own framework. Thereafter the audience will be invited to participate in bringing other terms and meanings into the conversation, to explore how those notions might relate to the framework. Such terms might include structural coupling, truth, responsibility, community, and integrity. All participants are invited to bring their own interests to the discussion.
Paul Pangaro received a BSci in Humanities from MIT, where he also worked in the research laboratories of Jerry Lettvin and Nicholas Negroponte. He traveled to England to earn his PhD from Brunel University in Cybernetics under Gordon Pask. In 1981 he started a private company for the sole purpose of applying second-order cybernetics to so-called "real-world" problems, and has been engaged in contracts with organizations such as the British Admiralty, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, NYNEX and Du Pont. Projects have included large-scale training environments for submarine commanders and nuclear power plant operators; anthropological studies of future applications of communications technology; and the epistemological, sociological and technological problems of the modern corporation. He is currently developing independent projects, one for the application of software modeling to the emergence and management of purposeful, coordinated action in groups; and another, a cybernetic musical.

I really can not recall the song... wait "It ends tonight" I think that was the song, but I might be thinking of a different group (Correct me if I'm wrong please)
I think i like "dirty little secret"
Its old, but it still get stuck in my head.
Theres some pretty funny youtube vids with that song too so yeah ^^

I like the All American Rejects, my favorite song from them would have to be move along.
- Mona Lisa

*happens to have them in cd player at this very moment* o.O
right now, Dirty little Secret.
six minutes from now,
Move Along.
nine minutes from now,
It Ends Tonight.
Actually, it depends ob my mood. Sometimes it`s Dirty Little Secret, but then other times it`s Gives You Hell and Move Along (at the same time) or it can be It Ends Tonight. Kind of like, Loud, really loud, or quiet. >.< Simple thinking.

I live in Germany and bought my 93 year old Auntie a BT freestyle 750 phone with a base, answerphone and 2 extra handsets. She is having trouble setting it up. She has asked a couple of people to help her, but they haven't managed to do it for her. How much would it cost for BT to come out and set it up for her. She is suffering hearing loss but won't admit it :-( so it is useless to ask her to speak to BT over the phone. My Auntie is a BT customer.
Solved! Go to Solution.
on 20-12-2010 18h46
Hi and welcome to the forum
I don't believe that BT would attend to set up the phone I am afraid.
on 20-12-2010 20h40
Devon_Dave has answered your question.
I suspect the solution to the problem is probably to get your Auntie something a bit less techie: eg a BT big button 100 and use 1571 instead of an answering machine facility.
You dont say whether she is a hearing aid user (who actually uses it).

"The love of a family is life's greatest blessing". – author unknown
The message Cathy and Josh were hoping to convey through their images was "the importance of family". Their oldest daughter Sienna (16 months) received a photo session from her Aunt and Uncle as a birthday gift. When her mother Cathy let me know she was expecting we decided to hold off until Kiera (2 1/2 weeks) was born. We were hoping to catch the new sisters together, and while that proved to be a challenge, we were able to capture this great family image.
Sienna's parents described her as "spirited" and "very sociable", but we just couldn't seem to bring that out of her during our time together ;). She is however very fond of her teddy.
Kiera's personality is still in the early stages, but she is certainly content to snuggle and offer up these adorable little happy smiles. Too sweet!
I made her newborn crown specifically for this session and I think it turned out pretty great.
If you would like to make one (or five) of your own please hop over to my DIY tutorial here.
I am a huge fan of natural posing. For me, it is the only way to capture true personality and emotion. I love that we could capture such a special and precious moment between daddy and his little girl.
This young family will be extra busy with 2 girls under two at home, but the bond and closeness these sisters will share just might be the importance Josh and Cathy were hoping for.
If you know someone who appreciates the "Art of Portraiture" and would love the gift of a photo session, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on gift certificates.

Finally Friday!!
Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading.
A scalding exploration of love, marriage, fidelity, and betrayal.
"Meet me at five," the voice said on the answering machine. Four ordinary words yet, when heard by the wrong person, enough to change the course of a marriage.
Marooned in Hollywood while writing a screenplay based on his latest bestselling novel, Miles King records in his journals his escalating conviction that his glamorous wife, a New York-based journalist named Maggie, is having an affair with Miles's favorite student.
Amidst the sun-buffed egos and the longing for connection and fame he encounters at every cocktail party and no-name bar in Hollywood, Miles finds unexpected comfort in an affair of his own with Lucy, a young mother whose open, eager mind sparks an irresistible passion in him. A potent brew of lust, guilt, anger, and betrayal, Miles's journals reveal his constantly shifting emotional state and the perils he must navigate as his fantasies become increasingly hard to distinguish from reality.
In Hollywood Savage, acclaimed novelist Kristin McCloy probes one modern man's psychological depths with stunning accuracy, and illuminates the ways men and women try desperately to reveal themselves to one another, while still always keeping a part of their hearts a secret.
What did YOU find today???

Kotzebue kids boost culture, academics after school
March 8th, 2013 | Hannah Heimbuch
This weekend, students and parents are welcomed to the June Nelson Elementary School in Kotzebue for a Super Saturday event. The special two-hour session is a part of a new afterschool program at JNES that provides literacy support, cultural learning opportunities, physical activity and community involvement.
Those elements cover the four basic goals of the grant-funded program, said Alberta Demantle of Alaska Learning Labs.
"Teachers brainstorm ways to get all those in," Demantle said. "We've been able to hire about eight staff."
The program is fueled by a five-year 21st Century Grant, one awarded to Alaska's non-profit educational resource center SERRC - Special Education Regional Resource Center.
All in all about 60 of JNES's kindergarten to second grade students have enrolled, Demantle said, since the program got up and running in October.
Community members are able to participate by teaching cultural activities, sharing stories and spending time with kids during specific activities.
"They try to get as many people from the community in to help with storytelling, or whatever talents they may have," Demantle said.
This weekend's Super Saturday will run from 10 a.m. to noon. For the last hour, parents are welcomed in for either a presentation from their child, or a family read.
A parent event in April will introduce a variety of literacy strategies for families to use at home, helping prepare kids for a successful school year. The program will also be looking for input and ideas for the program from parents at that time.
"It's going really well," Demantle said. "Kids seem to really enjoy it. The teachers are awesome with their creativity and making afterschool time unique and fun. Kids feel safe, they can learn and have fun."

Sound Transit spent $1.7 million to fill nine underground voids that appeared after construction of the twin light-rail tunnels through Beacon Hill, according to final costs outlined at the agency's Sept. 10 board meeting.
The work was performed on an emergency basis after changes in two contracts that were formally ratified by Sound Transit's board of directors on Sept. 10. The board approved increases in its contract with Shannon and Wilson, Inc. by $1.7 million for geotechnical services related to the work. The board also approved increasing a second contract with Hatch Mott MacDonald/Jacobs Engineering by $125,000. The money was paid out of surplus and contingency funds.
The voids were discovered in March after a resident noticed a 21-foot-deep hole in her yard at the corner of 18th Avenue South and South Lander Street, about 135 feet above one of the light rail tunnels. Engineers discovered a second void on her property, and seven more voids deeper underground following the tunnel line for about 350 feet.
Crews filled the voids, which resulted from shifts in layers of sand caused by the tunnel-boring machine, with a quick-setting, cement-based filler. Between April and August, a team of engineers and geologists drilled 38 holes to probe for other loose pockets of soil and pumped about 2,550 cubic yards of fill material, known as controlled density fill, according to Sound Transit.
Other areas of loose soil around the voids were "compacted" by pumping
cement grout through a pattern of drill holes near the locations, according to Sound Transit. In June and July, crews drilled 61 holes and pumped in approximately 293 cubic yards of grout.
According to Sound Transit documents, "these loosened zones or layers required stabilization to avoid any potential further ground displacements including during any future earthquakes."
To read the materials, check out this link on Sound Transit's Web site.
The 14-mile Link light rail line, which opened July 18, passes through the one-mile side-by-side tunnels and the underground Beacon Hill station between Sodo and the Rainier Valley.
Sound Transit is soon to begin construction on the U-Link segment, a 3.15-mile underground line that will run beneath Capitol Hill and to the University of Washington.

What a refreshing change of pace. Louisiana Sheriff's Captain Clay Higgins spoke recently on camera and with conviction about what he intends to do with certain members of a violent street gang. Now, rather than bow his head and deliver a sniveling mea culpa or risk public flogging by the political corectness-mob, Higgins has resigned.
The law enforcement officer stated that he'd rather leave his post than "kneel" to bureaucrats or a "wanna-be black activist."
The video recording of Higgin's harsh words to what he calls the "thugs" and "animals" of a local gang has since been pulled from the Internet, but Breitbart explains the content:
...it began with Higgins in uniform, flanked by myriad other armed and uniformed law enforcement officers and leaders from the black community. Higgins looked into the camera and said those identified with the Gremlins "are responsible for hundreds of violent crimes: murders, armed robberies, witness intimidation, burglaries, drug trafficking, extortion, and brutal beatings."
He told viewers that the St. Landry Parrish Sheriff's Office had "arrested ten of these thugs" and made clear that they had "warrants on seven more." Higgins listed the seven wanted individuals–referring to them as "animals"–and warned they are "most definitely armed and dangerous."
He closed the video by calling out one alleged gang member in particular–Darren Carter–saying:
Young man, I'll meet you on solid ground anytime, anywhere, light or heavy, makes no difference to me. You won't walk away. Look at you, men like us, son we do dumbbell presses with weights bigger than you. And the convicts in jail, most of those men are good people who just found themselves cross-ways with the law. And they don't respect you or any punk like you. They'll toss you around like a rag doll.
According to KATC, Higgins resigned Monday after his local sheriff's office garnered backlash over the video. Higgins said he has no intentions of following his current sheriff's orders and instead chose to turn in his badge:
"I will not kneel to violent street gangs. I will not kneel to murderers or the parents that raised them. I will not kneel to a discredited, wanna-be, black activist that doesn't really have the best interest of his people in mind, who just wants to make a profit. I will not kneel to bureaucrats in Baton Rouge, Washington or anywhere else who have forgotten why they wear a badge and who have forgotten who they serve."
It would be nice if our elected leaders spent more time focusing on how to keep good citizens safe and assail the violent elements within our society rather than pander to criminals. It would also be nice if, just as Higgins said, if activists truly had the best interest of their communities in mind, rather than just agitating for personal gain.
Sadly, it is people like Higgins who are forced out of the picture entirely while the formerly mentioned bureaucrats and activists carve out a bigger and bigger role for themselves.

High Cortisol Symptoms/PTSD, Part 2
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder — PTSD — High Cortisol and How To Heal From It by Eileen Nauman, DHM (UK), medical astrologer
PART 2– The Astrology behind PTSD/High Cortisol and How do we get PTSD/high cortisol?
Here is an illustration showing the adrenal glands that sit on top of each kidney. When cortisol is within normal limits, the Adrenals "talk" to the Pituitary gland. Between the two, cortisol is kept within normal levels. However, when PTSD occurs, over time, the Pituitary is knocked out of the picture and the consequence is high cortisol without any controls. It remains high in our bloodstream forever–unless something is done to bring it back into normal operating levels. The good news is that can be done. See Blog #3 to be released on 11.30.09
THE ASTROLOGY SIGNATURE OF PTSD and High Cortisol Level
Astrologically, PTSD has some familiar planetary players. Mars symbolizes the violence aspect. And Mars rules the Adrenal glands. Uranus for the shock/trauma experienced that may remain in the body a lifetime. Neptune causes the person to go into addictions to escape the high cortisol symptoms, usually via drugs and/or alcohol.
Mars rules the Adrenal glands. It is our "fight or flight" glands that sit atop our kidneys. When we feel threatened, unsafe, cortisol is the first thing to shoot into our blood stream. Then, if we feel violence is going to happen, here comes the adrenaline. When the threat or sense of unsafeness is no longer there, the adrenals stop putting them out into the bloodstream and things and your sense of safety returns to normal. You now feel safe and unthreatened.
Pluto is another big player in PTSD because it rules over the endocrine system in general. With PTSD and high cortisol you are looking at the adrenal glands as the primary reason and the cascade effect on the thyroid secondarily. The thyroid is ruled by Mercury and Taurus. Pluto is also is the keeper of the contents of our Unconscious where the original PTSD symptoms lurk and control us via the high cortisol levels.
The Moon, by far, is the key player for potential PTSD/high cortisol situation. The Moon is the seat of our emotions. When our emotions are abused/shocked/traumatized either for a short period or a long time, damage is done. It is the Moon that must deal with all our emotions, including those of fear, threat and possible death by violence–all PTSD triggers. A Moon with three or more hard aspects, especially with any of the above, may make you sensitive to PTSD symptoms more than most. And if you find yourself with any of the high cortisol symptoms outline in Blog #1 on 11.28.09, then you should be further tested.
Tragically, a Moon with many hard aspects potentially indicates a person who grew up in a dysfunctional family where they never felt "safe." The more hard aspects, the more unsafe the person felt in their growing up years. If you find a Moon with Mars, Uranus or Pluto in hard aspect, then there is every chance this person not only suffered from mental and emotional abuse, but physical abuse as well.
Pay attention to Chiron, the 'wounded healer.' You will often find the natal Chiron playing a direct part in the accumulated PTSD symptoms. These are the players in PTSD from my experience.
House-wise, the terminal houses of the fourth, eighth and twelfth are also indicators of PTSD. If you find planets in any of these houses with hard aspect, then suspect it.
Another way to look at how a person grew up and what their childhood was like is to look at the sign on the cusp of the fourth house. Then, look at the planetary ruler and see how many hard aspects it has. If there are three or more, you can suspect some kind or type of abuse that was doled out on this person as a child. Let me give you an example from my own chart. I have 26 Scorpio on the 4th house cusp. Pluto is the "new" ruler and Mars is the "old" ruler. Looking at Pluto, it is in my 12th house of hidden secrets. Pluto is inconjunct my Moon. Pluto is also conjunct my Mars. And Mars is inconjunct my Moon. There are two YODS that are formed with these two:
Pluto sextile Neptune inconjunct Moon
Mars sextile Jupiter inconjunct Moon
These aspects alone, without the YOD being involved, is enough to make them 'players' in suspected abuse in the home (4th house). To add to this, the Moon has a square to my Sun. Moon is inconjunct Mars, inconjunct Jupiter. Chiron is conjunct Jupiter. Moon is square Uranus. In all, there are six hard aspects to the Moon, alone. Again, this is to give anyone pause and make them wonder if this person wasn't terribly traumatized. When you add up the damage by planets: Moon, Uranus, Pluto, Mars, Neptune and Jupiter, you have all the necessary PTSD signature to know there's an awfully good chance that this person has PTSD. The only thing to do is to verify it via the symptoms in Blog #1.
And I can verify I grew up in a violent, abusive home. I'm lucky to be alive. And there was abuse on every level. What is more important is to realize that there can be what I term 'mild' abuse in the home and nowhere near the level that I survived, and it will STILL create PTSD symptoms in a person. For some individuals, whose spirit is not strong, a "little" abuse, a "little" trauma is as powerful and devastating as it is for someone else.
We can't minimize or judge the home environment and its result on another person. What we can do is see HOW BADLY DAMAGED they are by it. The body remembers. Our cells remember everything, good and bad, that happens to us. The body has memory. And so, by taking out that list of cortisol symptoms, you can ask your relative, friend or client about these symptoms. If they fit two or three of them, then they should contact a Functional Medicine doctor for further evaluation and testing (saliva/blood) which I'll talk more about in another blog.
Continuing our discussion of Terminal houses, the eighth house represents power OVER us by someone else. If there is a planet(s) in the 8th house with hard aspects, then that child can feel lorded over and abused by an adult or older child. Sexual predators are in the 8th house, as well, and it's not uncommon to see a child sexually abused with planets in here with hard aspects.
The Twelfth house holds a lot of secrets; mostly skeletons in our family closet or from our own poor choices living life. Planets here in hard aspect can indicate toxic family secrets of all kinds. It can also mean the perpetrator gets away his his or her abuse of the victim. If a person has planets in this location in hard aspect, they may or may not remember the abuse done to them. The brain has a 'fail-safe' mechanism that shields us from trauma so horrifying that if we could remember it, it would probably destroy us either mentally or emotionally–or both. Therefore, these people may NEVER remember what was done to them. But their body will. And the way you tell that is when they test for high cortisol. The body ALWAYS remembers even if we don't. And if you ask a person about possible trauma or abuse and they don't remember, don't take their word for it. Suggest the lab tests that I'll share with you in another blog.
1. It can be a sudden, unexpected stress. For example, you see or survive an automobile or a train wreck, you live through an earthquake, you see a plane crash (or you survive one), you live through a flood, or some other kind of natural disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane. An explosion can cause it. Being involved in a fire, or seeing one wreak havoc, can also trigger this cascade of symptoms. The attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Centers is ripe for PTSD symptoms, as was the destruction of the Twin Trade towers on 9.11– for not only those caught in this horrible holocaust, but those who viewed it on television or heard it on radio not only in the USA–but around the world. So, you don't need to have been there to "get" PTSD symptoms. We are all vulnerable to such global trauma. The death of a loved one (parent, child, grandparent, uncle, aunt, good friend, ect) can also trigger PTSD.
2. Men or women who have 'gone to war'–whether in armed combat, or the 'war' on the streets as a police person, firefighter, paramedic, ambulance attendant, gang-banging, or the war in a dysfunctional family, all qualify. The Gulf War vets, the Iraq and Afghanistan vets as well as the Vietnam vets, have earned their PTSD symptoms from encountering the gory, super-stressful, bloody horror of war–up front and close. Their lives may have been threatened. Maybe not. Just living in a war zone is enough to trigger PTSD in some people. Terrorist attacks can create it. Living in a 'war-zone' neighborhood, or the inner city, will trigger these symptoms. Places such as Yugoslavia, now carved up into fiefdom, is another good example–all people of that area have suffered some form and exposure to PTSD. Israel is under constant threat of attack and I'm sure many of them suffer from these symptoms.
3. If the person is exposed to inhumane treatment–and this includes verbal or physical abuse (spousal), incest or rape or actually being a POW, prisoner-of-war, PTSD symptoms will manifest. Torture comes in many forms. If one lives eighteen years in a dysfunctional family, that is a special hell and torture in its own right. One doesn't need to be put in a cage somewhere in Vietnam to garner the same PTSD symptoms. The cage for the trapped child is just as real because their is no escape for eighteen years. Either environment will create them. If an individual views atrocity, that can trigger symptoms.
Again, it doesn't have to be in a war zone or in combat–it can be at a train wreck, an airplane disaster, a terrorist attack. As an example, the Oklahoma City bombing has, quite literally, created a city of PTSD survivors. Many police and firefighters view human remains at accident sites all the time–and never received help for what they view. Some did, fortunately–but others did not. Human or animal atrocity affects all of us. The question is just how much. At some point, we all have an inner boundary where inhumane treatment, torture or atrocity, will affect all of us.
Now, the latest trauma, the terrorist attacks on our Pentagon and the destruction of the World Trade Centers in New York City have, once again, created a massive PTSD epidemic in the wake of these assaults on our collective, USA psyche. Bosnia has been traumatized. Right now, it is Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention, Iran and Pakistan. Violence against anyone breeds PTSD.
4. The psychological and constitutional elements of ourselves, which is known collectively to the homeopath as the "vital force" will create more or less susceptibility to PTSD symptoms. Ten people can view a plane crash. There will be ten different, varying levels of reaction to it. Those whose vital forces are more susceptible to this type of trauma, will be more profoundly affected and they will be the ones coming away with PTSD symptoms and high cortisol levels. Others may be less affected or not at all. Four children in an abusive household will have four different coping mechanisms and reactions to the war-zone environment and each vital force will respond a little differently to it–but they will all walk away wounded with PTSD. It's just a question of how much damage has been done and where. Some people's psyche/vital force, are more resilient than others. However, the more long-term the 'war zone' that is encountered, the more sure you are that they will all be effected. It's just a question of how much, at that point.
5. Any of the above situations combined with physical abuse or bodily injury will cause PTSD. Injury, particularly to the head region, will guarantee it. Homes where children are slapped, beaten, thrown around, will have a high degree of PTSD symptoms unless they have a very tough, strong vital force. And even then, they will still be wounded; but perhaps not as deeply as some other individuals who are more susceptible to such a combative environment.
6. PTSD symptoms can worsen especially if there is no social net or fabric in which to seek help or protection from this warlike environment or warlike person. Without an abuse shelter being available, without the means to talk to someone who recognizes the bottom line of the problem, survivors, if left in such an environment, simply become worse over time. A military vet who cannot seek help, is left to suffer in his or her personal hell that only deepens and stains their entire life, year by year. PTSD symptoms, if not caught and reversed, only become worse with time. It ruins marriages, children, and stains the PTSD survivor irrevocably. In a sense a PTSD survivor is still in their POW cage–it just isn't visible, but it's there in the guise of high cortisol symptoms (Blog #1, 11.28.09).
There is synergy between cortisol and thyroid hormones. Both have to be in our cells, bound to their respective receptors at normal levels in order to work efficiently. If cortisol levels are low, caused by Adrenal exhaustion, our thyroid is less efficient at doing its job of increasing our energy and metabolic activity. The person may end up with hypothyroid symptoms and unwanted weight gain.
When your cortisol is too high, it interferes with the thyroid hormone signal. In essence, it creates what is known as 'thyroid resistance.' This means the thyroid hormones levels can be 'normal' in a test, but our cell tissues fail to respond as efficiently to the thyroid signal. This too can be misdiagnosed as hypothyroidism. Throwing thyroid supplements at it won't fix it, either. Why? Because the foundational problem is the high cortisol. You bring the cortisol within normal operation and the hypothyroid symptoms go away and your thyroid is able to function fully and normally once more.
Signs of hypothyroid symptoms are:
* Fatigue
* Weakness
* Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
* Coarse, dry hair
* Dry, rough pale skin
* Hair loss
* Cold intolerance (you can't tolerate cold temperatures like those around you)
* Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
* Constipation
* Depression
* Irritability
* Memory loss
* Abnormal menstrual cycles
* Decreased libido, low or no sex drive
High cortisol also causes insulin resistance as well. It takes more insulin to drive glucose into the cells when coritsol is high. And so you have a high coritsol and insulin and this creates the 'insulin resistance.' You are going to gain weight around the waist because our body stores fat there, rather than burning it off like it should. This is the "apple" body shape.
When cortisol is high, our brain is less sensitive to estrogens. This can throw women into "early" menopause. It can also amp up hot flashes and night flashes….which are not only bothersome but at night, when we're trying to sleep–we are constantly be awakened. The sleep deprivation from this one symptom alone will put any woman into a tailspin over time. In peri-menopausal women cortisol should drop at night. Progesterone plays an important role here because it actually competes with cortisol for the glucocorticoid receptors. It can counter the stimulating (wide awake vs sleeping) effects of cortisol at night when you need to be sleeping deeply and soundly. With high cortisol, the progesterone is shoved aside and loses out. The result is insomnia for the woman.
You can have post menopausal women with reasonable amounts of estrogen but when the cortisol rises, she will get hot flashes–which are seen by the medical establishment as an estrogen deficiency. In this case, it's not a deficiency. It's the cortisol interfering in the process. If the cortisol levels are brought down to normal, the hot flashes end once and for all. And if your doctor misdiagnosis your hot flash symptoms, he or she will give you other hormones to compensate–and they won't work. Be sure, if you are past menopause, and continue to have hot flashes, to get your cortisol levels checked first (Part 3 will have information on who to contact and what tests to get) before taking any other hormones.
There's real problems with bone loss (spinal shrinkage among them) when cortisol is high. It activates many of the biochemical pathways that are involved with bone resorption. It specifically inhibits osteoblast activity which is responsible for bone building. It suppresses production of androgens (male hormones) in the gonads and adrogens help build bone in men. It activates osteoclasts which causes bone to be resorbed faster than normal. It decreases mineral absorption in the gut (and that is why a good mineral supplement is vital). You won't be able to absorb calcium and magnesium–both of which are needed to build bone and keep our bones strong. It also increases kidney spilling of calcium. So that's another loss of calcium for us.

Calling all '90s kids! If the following statements make you giggle like you did when your totally cute history teacher would call on you in 5th grade, you fit the bill:
Remember when the kid at your lunch table with the organic, zen, yoga mom would ask you to trade your Dunkaroos for his apple. YEAH, RIGHT!
Or that time when Helga Pataki's bubble gum closet shrine of Arnold actually gave you a couple of ideas on how to pay homage to your own crush. But it wasn't creepy at all. And you never made the shrine... ;)
Did you ever let your Tamagotchi starve to death? It was only one time? Some mother you were...
How many Beanie Babies made up your collection? Because I bet you your cool neighbor, Christy, always had more.
You could never figure out how to beat your brother at that Nintendo 64 game where you shoot geese with a toy gun. Why was he so good? It's a bit troubling, actually.
Your walkman played the debut *NSYNC album from start to finish on your walk to school, and the weird crossing guard yelled at you to pay attention every time.
You were only as cool as the number of Lisa Frank notebooks you had.
And finally (most importantly), you knew that milky pen tattoos would not give you ink poisoning and you would not die. BUT, regular pen tattoos would give you ink poisoning and you would die.
People say to live in the present, and that the past is the past, but if anyone wants to help us build a time machine to go back to days of dial-up internet and phones that weren't smart, you know where to find us!

Provident Financial
979½p -53½p
Questor says SELL
Provident Financial
At 7am on Tuesday Provident Financial announced that pre-tax profits for the year to December had soared 13pc. The shares rose when the market opened.
At 11.54am a Stock Exchange announcement popped up revealing that Odey Asset Management, one of London's biggest hedge funds, had increased its short position.
The fund, headed by Crispin Odey who famously made billions foreseeing the banking crisis, had placed a further £3m bet that Provident shares will fall. It's his third short position disclosure in Provident this year, according to regulatory filings.
And Odey is not alone. Lansdowne Partners, Blackrock and Fortelus Capital have also bet against Provident.
Ostensibly the hedgies have been seriously clipped as a result. Provident's shares have risen by nearly a third since October.
And they can't say they weren't warned. Their original thesis was that Provident's customers, more than half of whom receive state benefits, would be squeezed by the tough credit environment and Coalition's spending review. In October, Peter Crook, chief executive, said he expected the "direct impact of the Government's spending review on the group's customer base to be modest".
In November shares soared 8pc, after a positive trading update that said the business was on track for a "good 2010". Mr Crook couldn't disguise his delight. "I'd be feeling pretty nervous if I was still short," he boasted.
In January another good set of results saw Provident's shares surge 72p to 975p, seeing it top the FTSE 250 leaderboard that day.
And here we are again: the financials look strong and yet the lender is the second-most short-sold stock in the FTSE 250 according to Data Explorers, even though Fortelus has reduced its short recently.
So who's right? In part, the results are better than expected. Pre-tax profits of £142.5m beat analysts' expectations. The Vanquis Bank unit delivered profits of £27m rather than the £21m consenus. However, these figures were flattered by £5m of profits realised from bad debt provisioning. Home Collected Credit managed only £129m in profit, not the £132m expected.
There are concerns about Provident's client base going forward: few expect inflation, unemployment and take-home pay to resist economic pressure this year.
But for some analysts, led by Robin Savage at Collins Stewart who has been a long-term sceptic, the big concern is Provident's capital position. The company again refused to give a figure for its surplus cash position - the concern being that it wouldn't be great news and could be as low as £20m rather than £50m or £60m that is often presumed.
Mr Savage reckons most of this is in Vanquis Bank side not the rest of the business which, he says, "should be a concern for equity and bond holders".
Provident said it would pay its 38p dividend but analysts are concerned the company can't afford it. The company generated £80m of capital but the dividends totalled £85m - the third year running in which dividends have exceeded capital generation. Mr Savage used a note to urge shareholders to vote against the dividend at the annual meeting on May 4.
Alternatively, he said, the "simple solution is to sell". Questor agrees.

By Terence Chea, Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — University of California students will likely face a steep midyear tuition increase if voters reject Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative.
The 10-campus system will need to consider raising tuition by as much as 20 percent in January if the November ballot measure fails, according to documents posted online ahead of next week's UC Board of Regents meeting. Under that scenario, in-state undergraduate tuition would rise by $2,472 to $14,664.
At their meeting in San Francisco, the regents are expected to vote on a measure to freeze tuition at 2011-2012 levels and endorse the governor's initiative, which temporarily raises the sales tax and boosts the income tax on people who make more than $250,000 a year.
Under the recently adopted state budget for 2012-2013, state funding for the UC system would remain stable this fiscal year and increase by $125 million next year — if the university does not raise tuition and voters approve Brown's tax measure.
But if the initiative doesn't pass, the university system would face a midyear funding reduction of $250 million — and wouldn't get the additional $125 million next year. That "trigger cut" would lower state funding of UC to $2.13 billion, compared with $3.26 billion in 2007-2008.
UC officials say the university would need to raise tuition by 20 percent if the entire budget shortfall was covered by a tuition increase alone. The system could raise tuition by a lesser amount if it finds other ways to raise revenue or cut costs.
"The stakes are pretty clear," UC spokesman Steve Montiel said Tuesday. "If the initiative doesn't pass, it would be a tough situation for the university and ultimately for the students."
In recent years, UC has repeatedly raised tuition — and made deep cuts to campus services and academic programs — in response to sharp reductions in state funding. Students now pay nearly twice as much as they did five years ago.
The prospect of another sharp tuition hike should motivate students and other people who care about higher education to support the governor's tax initiative, said Claudia Magana, president of the University of California Students Association.
The students association plans to ramp up efforts to register students to vote this fall, Magana said.
"We want to educate students on what this vote means," she said. "We'll be doing everything in our power to make sure that it does pass."

Jember Fashion Carnaval Reviews
20 reviews
Local Creativity that goes Worldwide Jul 08, 2012
Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC) is Annual Carnival held as part of Bulan Berkunjung ke Jember (BBJ, Visit Jember Month, usually on July until August each year).
JFC made a new wave for Fashion Carnaval in Indonesia, as the first and mentor of other cities like Solo with Solo Batik Carnival (SBC) or Banyuwangi with Banyuwangi Ethno Carnival (BEC).
This year JFC, JFC XI, held last Sunday, 8 July 2012, with theme Extremagination present 10 defile: Rome Empire, Madurese, Oceanarium, Persians, Orchidaceae, Savana, Mushroom, Dragon, Trinida & Tobago, and last defile Planet Heredity.
Though this year event in Jember has finished, there are chance you could see the Carnival in Jakarta or other cities/countries, follow/contact JFC website for their upcoming schedule.
And next year, JFC XII will be held for 3 days on 23, 24, 25 August 2013. If you are photographer and in need of press card, sign up your self at JFC website at the latest one month before the day, and I'm encouraging you to sign up, even if you are amateur photographer, then you will be able to made greater scope photos not just the carnival.
The carnival are free and everyone invite to celebrate it :)
but if you interested also on attending the indoor schedule, then you will need ticket, which you could buy from JFC website.
To attend JFC, better you arrive in Jember one day before, and you could attend the rehearsal. If it's not possible for you, then arrive in Jember on the day before 12 at noon, means if you come from Surabaya or Malang by bus or personal car, start your journey by 5 or 6 in the morning. Why? The road to the city of Jember will be closed for the Carnival, and to reach the city you need to go alternatively via Ajung, and be ready for heavy traffic. And more difficult for you who come by bus, since public car and motor-taxi will be very difficult to get, practically not available.
The Carnival start at 13 and finish by 17, with locals and visitors crowd for 3.6km of the route. Bring with you only the important and carefully with pick pocket. I really do hope for the incoming JFC, separator could be put for 3.6km of the route to separate viewers and the carnival, then viewers would not block the carnival and the carnival will run smoothly, and visitors must obey the separator! From what I've seen, visitors broke to the carnival in reason of taking picture with the carnival, then separate session where viewers able to take picture with the carnival might could be arrange.
See you on the next JFC.

Long story short: at the new shop that I'm working with, there are two different espresso machines from two different manufacturers. One, when you steam milk, the milk is fizzy. Not so on the other. Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Could the steam boiler water level be too high or too low?
I haven't done any experimentation (or adjustments) yet, but I'm stumped so far. I've never seen this before. In my experience, fizzy milk comes from bad milk... but that's not the case with this. Any thoughts, folks?

You know how the saying goes: "you can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."
Such is the case with President Obama's Supreme Court Justice nominee, Merrick Garland, and if you think we are referring to Republican opposition to the nominee, think again.
African-American women's groups including the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and the National Coalition on Black Participation (NCBP) are also up in arms over Obama's SCOTUS pick because they'd rather a "strong black woman" be nominated to the highest court in the land.
NCBP president Melanie Campbell said her organization will support Garland, but "we have and will continue to advocate for the next Supreme Court vacancy to be filled by an exceptional black woman."
"The fact that he [Obama] would once again look over black women for this specific appointment is an absolute slap in the face to his top supporters," said Avis A. Jones-DeWeever, founder of the Exceptional Leadership Institute for Women.
The Associated Press reports that many minority advocacy groups are disappointed in Obama's decision to nominate Garland over a judge who can tick the "diversity" box:
"Having racial diversity, in particular, has always led to better outcomes that are more representative of our communities, especially given the demographics in this country," said Lakshmi Sridaran, director of national policy and advocacy for South Asian Americans Leading Together, an advocacy group.
Black women may feel especially rejected, considering their large turnout in 2008 (68 percent) and 2012 (70 percent). The vast majority of them, 96 percent, voted for Obama in 2012, according to exit poll data.
By selecting Garland, Obama "does not give the respect to his most ardent supporters," said Barbara Arnwine, executive director at the Transformative Justice Coalition. "The passion you saw around Sotomayor you will not see around this pick," Arnwine said.
Jones-DeWeever said black women might have been inspired to lobby the Senate daily to get a black female nominee confirmed, as they did during Lynch's confirmation process. But now, Jones-DeWeever said, "I'm not motivated to lift one finger to get his nomination through."
Janice Mathis, head of the National Council of Negro Women, said such disappointment likely will not affect black women's participation in this fall's presidential election.
We suppose Justices Sotomayor and Thomas do not count. The truth is special interests groups are never happy. This is another instance where identity politics trumps substance and experience and worthiness for a particular job. We can applaud or oppose Merrick on the basis of substance (and in conservatives' case on the basis that his appointment would block a seat that could otherwise go to a staunch conservative), but please, in the post-Obama word, are special interest groups really going to bemoan the fact that the nominee is not a minority woman? A rhetorical question, to be sure.

Wintonotitan, meaning "Winton titan," is a genus of titanosauriform dinosaur from the late Albian age of the of the Early Cretaceous Period. It was discovered 37 miles northwest of Winton, Australia — for which its named. The type specimen is known from partial postcranial remains. A second specimen was found consisting of isolated tail vertebrae. Both specimens were collected from the lower part of the Winton Formation.
The fossils that were first found in 1974 by paleontologist Keith Watts. The fossils were originally assigned to Austrosaurus, which was the only named Australian Cretaceous sauropod genus. It was catalogued as QMF 7292. However, it was reassigned as the type specimen of Wintonotitan in 2009 by Scott Hocknull and colleagues. The type species being W. wattsi, honoring the discoverer. Further analysis revealed Wintonotitan to be a primitive titanosauriform sauropod.
Wintonotitan was found in sandstone interpreted as a point bar of a river. Also found at the site were fish fossils, a theropod tooth, and a variety of plant fossils. The Winton Formation had a faunal assemblage including bivalves, gastropods, insects, the lungfish Metaceratodus, turtles, the crocodilian Isisfordia, pterosaurs, and several types of dinosaurs, such as the theropod Australovenator, the sauropod Diamantinasaurus, and unnamed ankylosaurians and hypsilophodonts.
Like other sauropods, Wintonotitan would have been a large quadrupedal herbivore.

From Beth: I'm so excited about this feature and really grateful for Jan for pointing it out. Really good for us curators.
Jan Gordon: This is a post after my own heart, brought to my attention by gdecugis, thanks Guillaume, you know I love Scoopit, glad to spread the word about this winning duo, Pinterest and Scoopit.
Feel free to visit my other topic, Pinterest Watch to learn more about this social network
Here's my commentary based on my experience of using Scoopit and Pinterest
To me, Pinterest and Scoopit go hand and hand. They are both visual and it's important to consider if you're on Scoopit already or thinking about it, expressing yourself on both platforms, (if it makes sense for your business) because it can be very powerful.
Here are some of the reasons it can help your business:
Scoopit is a platform that showcases your expertise, share your hobbies and other interests through content in a beautiful format. It is part of your online personna and it's a vibrant community I have met some wonderful people here.
Pinterest is also a community with some of the same people from Scoopit and many others, (new people are joining everyday). Linking your posts from Scoopit to your pins on Pinterest not only drives traffic to your scoopit site and visa versa but those people can see another side of you that you can't express there.
Pinterest is like a delicious menu of visuals that captivate and attract people to you. I have put all my business boards at the top and my interest boards underneath them.
Pinterest gives people the ability to see who you are beyond your posts. If you're a brand, this is where you can create an online story of text and visuals that gives consumers points of entry through common interests. It's a brilliant way to do business.
I could go on and on but I'll let you see for yourself how I've combined Scoopit and Pinterest together which continues to produce unbelievable results, increase in traffic and brand new relationships from both sites.

#023 — Beyond the Paper: How Your Digital Imprint Affects Employment
Your Digital Imprint
In this ever-changing but still new Digital Age, information travels fast. Who you are is portrayed online both by you and others, most typically through social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and Twitter. I like to refer to this as your digital imprint.
Many have debated whether it should be done, but the fact is prospective employers are reviewing your digital imprint as part of their hiring process. Checking popular social networking sites helps an employer get the makeup of a job candidate, for better and worse. Associated Content says that "according to the executive search firm ExecuNet, about four out of five recruiters regularly run web searches to screen job applicants. About one in three job seekers have been eliminated from consideration based on information the hiring company has discovered on social networking websites."
Managing Your Digital Imprint
With high unemployment and many candidates to choose from, employers can afford to be very selective. Properly managing your digital imprint can give you that extra leg up by providing a great impression of who you are. Workvine.com offers the following tips (in bold) to help manage your Digital Imprint/
- Conduct a search. Google yourself to see what, if any, information is out there.
- Optimize positive links. Set up a professional page in your name. Create positive associations with your name on the web.
- Make the most of social networking sites. Be selective about who you allow in your network, since employers may notice with whom you like to associate. Be particular about who comments on your page and edit comments when you deem necessary. Your college frat buddies may have a lot of crude inside jokes that you just don't want employers viewing!
- Speak out selectively. Be careful when you comment on blogs or news websites, or at least use an alias. Often the relative anonymity of the Internet allows us to articulate many views & opinions we wouldn't dare say in public. Think about what & how you say it before you type.
- Be prepared to explain. We have all made mistakes, and with your Digital Imprint, that mistake can be around for a very long time. If you find remarks by or about you that cannot be removed, be prepared to address them with your employers. They may be willing to give you a pass on those crazy Spring Break pics if it was ten years ago and you show yourself to be a more mature person!
I hope you've enjoyed the past two articles where we've gone "Beyond the Paper". You can link to the first article below:

Known as the "Crossroads
of North Wales", Corwen is located on a flood
plain, at the junction of five river valleys.
It was once the base of the Welsh leader Owain
Glyndwr whose troops harassed the English
troops of Henry II into retreating back to
England in the fifteenth century.
The town had its heyday during the Victorian period when it was the main hub for road and rail transport to the North and West Coasts of Wales. The heavy development of Corwen stopped towards the end of the Victorian period as improved transport links meant fewer and fewer people were stopping at the town.
Today, Corwen is a small market town, and the town centre is a conservation area and an area of special architectural and historical interest. However, because it is one of the last sizable towns on the A5 from London the Holyhead, it maintains a large number of hotels which were used in the past as staging hotels for the stage coaches.

All my life I have never been to a halloween festival or party. But since I frequented cyberspace, what with all the hype, I thought I should try it if there's a chance. So when a friend rang to see if I was interested in one, I went in a heart beat and
1. traipsed Khao San Road with friends, where the party was
2. admired an antique BMW motorbike
3. posed beside two decomposing kids
4. wore a borrowed battery-operated pair of horns
5. watched how a young drunk in high heels sway and drop to the ground
6. stared at a waved sign: Beer - Fucking Good!
7. dropped 1 baht on a beggar dog's bowl
8. folded my arms beside an emaciated male zombie badly in need of a mammogram
9. took a shot at a gawking skull with big teeth intact
10. offered my neck to a loch ness mutant
11. checked out prices of witches' hats
12. ate calamari
13. drank margarita
Glad I lived to tell the tale.
