The Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife has conducted its annual midwinter waterfowl survey and recorded numbers identical to or lower than 10-year average figures, according to a DIF&W news release.
The survey is conducted at the same time each winter in every state in the Atlantic Flyway. DIF&W biologists Brad Allen and Kelsey Sullivan, along with U.S. Geological Survey biologist Dan McAuley, flew with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pilot John Bidwell for nearly 40 hours to conduct the low-level survey between Jan. 4 and Jan. 16.
The team counted slightly more than 56,000 ducks and geese this year, a figure significantly lower than the 10-year average of 69,000.
Allen, the DIF&W's bird group leader, said the total was likely low because of relatively mild, ice-free coastal conditions during the survey. In years when the survey is preceded by cold, harsh weather conditions, waterfowl become more concentrated along the coast and are more likely to be counted. During mild weather, waterfowl are either along the coast or dispersed in ice-free freshwater sites near the coast. The inland areas are not searched by survey teams.
This year 16,388 black ducks were spotted — a figure nearly identical to the 10-year average for the species.
Most disappointing, according to Allen, were the number of sea ducks seen. Fewer than 1,000 scoters were spotted. In addition, just 1,253 long-tailed ducks were surveyed. Although almost 15,000 common eiders were spotted, that number is by far the lowest recorded during the survey flights. The 10-year average for the species is 26,500.
While Maine's numbers were relatively low, the DIF&W cautioned that the overall status of winter populations can't be determined until Maine's data is pooled with those along the Atlantic Flyway. Collectively, that data provides a relative index to the abundance of waterfowl species and their distribution along the flyway.

How to Shop for Your First Kayak
The Hudson - History and Habitat
Construction and Cost. People ask us all the time, "How much does a kayak cost?" And the answer always depends on how it's made. The cheapest sea kayaks are made of rotomolded plastic. They're injection molded, like Clorox bottles, and range in cost from about $1000 to $1800. Fiberglass kayaks run from about $2,000 to $3,000. A boat made with Kevlar and/or carbon fiber instead of glass fibers will trim weight by up to 25%, and beef up the price by as much as 50%. As with everything else, it's all about trade-offs, but a big clue is that most of our fleet boats - and all the staff's personal sea kayaks - are fiberglass.
Plastic boats are cheap and they are rugged. You've seen plastic bottles washed up on the beach: How many are broken? It's no accident that all whitewater kayaks are made of plastic. Whitewater paddlers bang off rocks all the time. Collisions that would send a glass boat home for repairs are just another battle scar on a plastic boat. So what's not to like? Plastic boats aren't tough because they're hard; they stand up to beatings because plastic is soft. Which makes for a less rigid boat. You can hang a glass boat in the garage by its toggles for a month and it'll paddle like the day it came from the factory. Hang up a plastic boat and inside a week it'll bend like a banana. Okay, nobody hangs up plastic boats like that, but over time the hull will nonetheless bend in and out here and there, deforming slightly.
Given equal care, a fiberglass boat will have a longer life at its best performance than a plastic boat, about as long as a car. Is it worth spending the extra money? Not if the difference means having no boat at all. But in that case, most of our staff would still recommend a good used fiberglass boat over a new plastic boat.
Kevlar is another story. The primary benefit of Kevlar and/or carbon construction is weight savings. Which puts a big smile on the face of Kevlar boat owners during the five minutes a day we're lugging our boats between the cars and the beach. On the water, there's no particular advantage to a lighter boat. And although Kevlar is used in bulletproof vests, that doesn't mean it makes a bulletproof boat. Kevlar kayaks are actually somewhat less rugged than most fiberglass boats, and when they do sustain damage, repairs require more extensive (and expensive) work. A construction issue with some Kevlar boats is that the Kevlar fibers have more "give" than the hard gel-coat that covers them. An insult to the boat - some oaf sits on it, say - can flex the Kevlar with no harm done - but crack the stiffer gel-coat. The damage is usually cosmetic, but if you've just spent $3,200 on a Kevlar boat it tends to make you unhappy.
If you have the money and use your boat gently, Kevlar may be a good option. Our staff guides like to paddle rock gardens on their own time and we do a lot of rescues on client time. We like a tougher boat and, so far, that means fiberglass.

Cardinal George to visit Cuba; Church influence on the rise
June 18, 2010
Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, the president of the US bishops' conference, will visit Cuba next week.
The cardinal's trip will take place at a time when Cuban government officials are showing a new willingness to heed the voices of Church leaders. Earlier this week the regime released a political prisoner, Ariel Sigler Amaya, after the intervention of Cardinal Jaime Ortega y Alamino of Havana. This week government leaders have been meeting with Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States. [See today's separate CWN headline story.]
For formal purposes, the trip by Cardinal George returns a visit to the US by Archbishop Dionisio Garcia of Santiago de Cuba, the president of the Cuban bishops' conference.

I wish there was something that "if you could see it on the screen" you could convert it to a SWORD module. I have lots of Logos books that I can get no where else (or not all with the same reader), and would like to get rid of the clunky and slow Libronix interface. I'm using the old Logos interface which is much faster - but it was developed and worked fine under Windows 3.0 system.

As stated by others, this is because the 'inode reference count' is a 16 bit value, and traditionally signed - giving a limit if 2^15. You want to be glad that NetBSD actually checks the limit. Solaris doesn't (or didn't until fairly recently) which led to one of the bank payment systems exploding when the number of clients exceeded 32766. Directory lookups (on ufs) are linear searches (possibly with in-kernel hashes) so very large directories should be avoided. This means that you really want to avoid directories with significant numbers of entries - be they files or directories. The usual solution is to use a separate subdirectory for each initial letter of the wanted filename - see the SYSV/Solaris terminfo database. David -- David Laight: david%l8s.co.uk@localhost

New ratings coming from Texas Education Agency
Published 8:36 am, Wednesday, August 7, 2013
AUSTIN — The Texas Education Agency will roll out a new accountability system for districts and schools this year that may not bring many immediate surprises but will change how many schools are rated in the long run.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams will release ratings on Thursday using the new system he helped create to better reflect how well schools prepare the state's children for adulthood.
The ratings take into account more than just the STAAR standardized tests, which makes up the first of three indexes to a school's rating. The others include student progress on those tests, the school's pace in closing the performance gap for disadvantaged kids and the student's readiness for life after high school by looking at graduation rates and scores on college placement tests.
Williams called the new accountability system more comprehensive than the previous one and promised it will reward schools that more quickly help low-performing students meet state standards. He said this is particularly important since 65 percent of Texas children are either black or Hispanic and 60 percent come from impoverished household, the most at-risk groups for dropping out of school.
"We're attempting to weight (the closing the gap component) a tad bit greater than the others because of the significance of closing the achievement gap," he said at a media briefing. "In this first iteration it is predominantly ... about STAAR scores, but it will add more components."
Schools and districts will no longer receive the exemplary, recognized, academically acceptable and academically unacceptable ratings, which school administrators complained were unfairly based solely on test scores. For now districts and schools will have either "met standard," ''met alternative standard" or "improvement required."
Individual campuses can earn distinctions such as "Top 25 percent: Student Progress," ''Academic Achievement: Reading/English Language Arts" and "Academic Achievement: Mathematics." The agency will grant the higher ratings based on exceeding the minimum goals set out in the accountability system.
Beginning in 2016-2017, though, districts will earn an A through F letter grade. The agency did not release any school ratings in 2012.
Shannon Housson, director of performance reporting, declined to preview the results of the new system except to say that by definition 5 percent of schools will not meet the standard for student progress, a new rating index that looks at how much students learned in the past year using STAAR scores.
The four indexes are computed using a complex system of analyzing STAAR test scores and breaking down the results at times by ethnicity, English fluency, disability and family income. Each school is assessed in comparison with 40 other schools or similar size and demographics so that a wealthy school in the suburbs is not compared to a poor inner-city school or a tiny rural campus.
Williams said the goal was to make the ratings more useful for students, parents and teachers in working to improve their schools rather than just a round-up of test scores.

Two weeks ago, I took my girls, Clare (age 10) and Kate (age 8), to Liberty Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania for their first-ever ski lessons. We went on a Friday and it was the perfect day to go because it was a weekday, so it was less crowded, and the girls had the day off from school due to a snow day, so I didn't need to pull them out of school for the day.
The drive to Liberty Mountain Resort was just under 90 minutes away from our home in Northern Virginia, which made it very convenient to go up for a day of skiing (they also have snow tubing). However, if you live in the DC/MD/VA area, there are plenty of ski resorts across Pennsylvania worth checking into this ski season. Many, including Liberty Mountain Resort, are offering fantastic ski specials, too.
Since it's been exceptionally cold this winter, I made sure the girls were prepared for 12 degree weather on the mountain. Each wore t-shirts, thermal underwear and long-sleeve t-shirts (a cotton/polyester blend), sweatpants, sweaters and ski socks. So, three layers on top, two layers on bottom. They each also had ski jackets, ski pants, gloves, goggles and neck gaiters to pull up over their noses in the cold. I can't stress enough how important it is for your kids to dress warmly and in layers.
We arrived at Liberty Mountain Resort at 8:45 am because I needed to buy the ski goggles and neck gaiters on-site. The two-hour lesson at the Children's Learning Center started at 10 am and getting there early gave us plenty of time to buy what we needed and get our rental equipment. When you sign up for lessons, you provide your child's height, weight and shoe size, so rental skis, boots and helmets were there waiting for us when we arrived.
The lesson started on time and the instructors and junior instructors were prepared for the cold, giving each child hand wand warmers to put in their gloves. They also had a break mid-way through the lesson for hot chocolate and snacks. I even got a cup of the hot chocolate and it was delicious!
At Liberty Mountain Resort, they break up ski school students first based on ability, then based on age, so the girls were in a class with four or five other little ones learning to ski for the first time. They learned all the important moves, like the "pizza slice," which involves pointing the front ends of the skis together in order to slow down on a slope.
After about an hour, the kids were ready to take the magic carpet up the hill to make their first run down the bunny slope (it was a very slight hill, so maybe it was a baby bunny slope). Due to the quality of the snow that day, the kids weren't going anywhere fast, so the instructors quickly opted to go up the real bunny slope on the chair lift. Away they went, and off they came down. It was fabulous.
While I was uncertain how my kids would do with skiing, I was so proud that they did so well. Even Kate, who's usually quite trepidatious, looked quite agile skiing down the mountain. If you decide to take your kids to a learn-to-ski class, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Get Your Kids Started Early: Sure, it was a weekday so many kids were in school, but I was amazed at how young the children were. Kids as young as four. Some resorts have age minimums, like four or six, but look into it and get your kids on the slopes as early as you can (when they have no fear!).
2. Go on a Weekday: If you can, go to a ski resort for lessons or skiing on a weekday. This is probably easier when your kids have not yet started school, but if you can do so, take them out for the day to enjoy a fairly crowd-free day on the slopes. Weekends can be a madhouse at popular ski resorts.
3. Arrive at Least One Hour Ahead of the Lesson: It takes time to check in and get set up with ski rentals and boots. Both of my girls were wearing two pairs of socks, so that took extra time to take off one pair to fit their feet into the boots. You don't want your kids to get flustered rushing around to get to the lesson on time.
4. Stay Out of Sight, Out of Mind: My kids are old enough where they are not begging me to stay, but if you can, leave the lesson area so your kids can focus on the instructors and what they are being taught. No need to have them focused on you, and not the lesson, the entire time.
Also, do check out my recent post, 5 Tips to Ensure Happy First-Time Skiers, for more tips to help your kids enjoy their first experience on skis. Good luck and have fun out on the slopes! But first, please enjoy a quick commentary from Clare on her day at Liberty Mountain Resort.

YORK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) – The MDEA says a Cornish man has been arrested and charged with selling crack cocaine in York County Friday.
27-year-old Daniel Smith was arrested for drug trafficking after a six-month investigation by Drug Enforcement Agents.
Sheriff's deputies and drugs, agents said they found approximately 17 grams of crack cocaine and 2.8 grams of Heroin in Smith's possession during his arrest. Smith was wanted for failing to appear in court, unrelated to the MDEA investigation.
During a search of Smith's home at 124 Maple Street in Cornish, agents seized another 128 grams of crack, 2.5 grams of heroin, a semi-automatic handgun and $2000 in suspected drug proceeds. Agents also seized Smith's 2008 Cadillac SUV. The estimated street value of the crack and heroin is $15,500.
Smith was taken to the York County Jail on $25,000 cash bail. Police say the investigation is ongoing and others associated with Smith and his drug distributions have been identified. Additional arrests are expected, according to police.

Polynomial Generating Functions/Pascal Matrices
Would anybody be interested in discussing a presentation here on using Pascal/Shift matrices to
directly generate various Polynomial sequences via. their generating functions expressed in matrices?
The underlying idea is that most generating functions are still true when indexing variables (t) are replaced with full rank singular matrices (i.e. n-1). In particular the Pascal or Shift matrices. This leads to the generating function expressed in terms of matrices and most familiar generating functions directly stating the polynomials. Also that the series is truncated automatically and exactly.
I do have some theorems rather than just words :)
I have a "blog" where I have stuffed some notes and results.

I saw the title of the Happy Kit before I saw what the product was and, cynic that I am, assumed it contained, like, hot cocoa mix, a pet rock with an inspirational saying printed on it, and whatever today's version of Chicken Soup for the Soul is. But, no. When I clicked the link the kit I saw actually made me happy. And I'd say contains items that will do the same for you.
This Happy Kit fits neatly and securely inside a water-resistant, smell-proof little black box. It includes a glass pipe, cigarette holder, herb grinder, rolling paper and tips, and a single drag pipe. You'll have to add your own herbal refreshment, lighter, and copy of F*ck Feelings: One Shrink's Practical Advice for Managing All Life's Impossible Problems.
The Happy Kit is available for 20% off for a limited time from Dude Exclusives.

Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin
The eighth anniversary of the partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin was recently celebrated with the AMVOX7, the first vertical-trigger chronograph equipped with a radial power-reserve display.
The AMVOX line, developed by the Manufacture from the Vallée de Joux, has appealed as much to devotees of fine watchmaking as to motor sports fans for almost a decade now.
The AMVOX7 Chronograph draws the gaze to the motif adorning its dial and featuring the pattern of the radiator grille of the Vanquish, the brand-new model unveiled by Aston Martin last June.
A new function makes its entry into the AMVOX line: the radial power-reserve display. On the AMVOX7 Chronograph, this indication appears through two apertures in the upper part of the inner bezel ring, on either side of the black dial.

It is always good to express yourself. Expressing yourself is healthy for the mind and happy for the heart. When we express ourselves we are given the opportunity to put our feelings, thoughts, and some of our character being into words. Expressing yourself is a powerful tool.
We never seem to hesitate to express all the things we are proud of and want people to know. And we shouldn't hesitate to express them! We deserve to flaunt what we are proud of. It feels good to express ourselves. When we do share with others what we are proud of, how we are feeling, or what our thoughts are, it gives us a sense of satisfaction.
We express ourselves in different ways. We express ourselves in the way we dress, by listening to music, having hobbies, writing, being creative, practicing religion, engaging in the activities we enjoy. What is important about expressing ourselves is doing it with confidence no matter what way you do it in.
The best way to be confident in expressing yourself is by always being yourself, having faith in yourself, not comparing yourself to others, choosing to love yourself for who you are, and not caring about what the person next to you thinks of you. I always make sure and express myself with confidence.
One way I express myself is by telling my individual story of who I am. Yes, I do it through extracurricular activities, writing in my journal, and listening to my music. But my favorite way to express myself is by sharing my story with others. I enjoy sharing who I am and the things that are important to me in my life, like: I'm a proud mother, I have a successful business, and I'm still married to my dream husband who I have been married to for the past 20 years. I love sharing my story with any and every one that I have the opportunity to share it with because my story is what I am proud of. When I share and express with others all the great things in my life, my heart and mind is always watered with happiness.
I wear my story around my neck in a locket that resembles all that I am. The locket has charms in it that represents something about me. The locket is my story. When I meet someone new, am out with my friends, or spending time with my family, I share the great things in my life (my story) by showing them my locket and what each piece means. My locket has been an amazing way to express myself.
I encourage you to start expressing yourself. Express yourself with confidence. Feed your heart and mind with the powerful tool of expressing yourself. You deserve it!
If you would like a locket to share your story with others, click on my SHOP link and start designing your very own custom locket that tells all about you. Once you have custom created your locket and made your purchase online, you will have it in no time and you will be able to start sharing who you are soon!
Happy Expressions,
- Lisa Vining

But I don't think you really can extend that protocol, as all inputs seem to be covered. Actually I think that 1288 explicitly sanctions using LC_CTYPE to get non-ascii data printed on the terminal. That they confuse ascii with some generic eight bit character set can probably be ignored, it's a common mistake and it's quite obvious what they meant. 2.2. Data format Any data transferred MUST be in ASCII format, with no parity, and with lines ending in CRLF (ASCII 13 followed by ASCII 10). This excludes other character formats such as EBCDIC, etc. This also means that any characters between ASCII 128 and ASCII 255 should truly be international data, not 7-bit ASCII with the parity bit set. 3.3. Client security It is expected that there will normally be some client program that the user runs to query the initial RUIP. By default, this program SHOULD filter any unprintable data, leaving only printable 7-bit characters (ASCII 32 through ASCII 126), tabs (ASCII 9), and CRLFs. This is to protect against people playing with terminal escape codes, changing other peoples' X window names, or committing other dastardly or confusing deeds. Two separate user options SHOULD be considered to modify this behavior, so that users may choose to view international or control characters: - one to allow all characters less than ASCII 32 - another to allow all characters greater than ASCII 126 For environments that live and breathe international data, the system administrator SHOULD be given a mechanism to enable the latter option by default for all users on a particular system. This can be done via a global environment variable or similar mechanism. /Johan

Hi all,
I did'nt know how to write formula here. So:
The full theorem is: for some integer k. In other words, x=2k\pi+a)\lor (x=2k\pi-a)" alt="\cos x=\cos a \Rightarrow \exists k\in\mathbb{Z}x=2k\pi+a)\lor (x=2k\pi-a)" />. This is much different from . Among other things, this would allow us to easily show that .
Regarding writing math formulae, etc., you can see the LaTeX tutorial within the LaTeX Help Subforum.
No my assert is right! We know that k is an element of the set of integers and that solution is the general solution of the equation and it means that for all ks it is true!
So if we choose k to be 0, then x=+-x and we choose the case x=-x wich is one of the solutions!
Even If that is wrong, when we get x=2k(pi)+-x the there are 2 cases: 1) 2x=2k*pi=>x=k*pi and 2) 2k*pi=0 => k=0 wich we may have choiced k=another number except 0 for example if k=1 => 2*pi=0
What exactly is your question?
Edit: Actually, I should have written that the full theorem is:
for some integer k.
Furthermore, the converse is true. So, for the most information and least amount of characters:
Edit 2: I suppose it's worth mentioning that for the correct theorem, we can't just choose an arbitrary k, like you did at the end the quoted post.
Maybe it would help you to have an analogy. .
You mean that there exists such a , for which . It does not mean that for all !
Take, for example, a quadratic equation - say . We know, then, its solutions are
What does this mean? It means that if you have a number, say , for which , then either or . It does not mean that !
The case for is exactly the same!
proof by contradiction, right? What I gave was a proof that your claim is false. You have not used "allowable ways."
2) This is false, as was already proven.
In general: You are using "proof by vehement assertion." You are not presenting an actual proof, you are just stating emphatically that your claim is true, over and over.
See Defunkt's post which goes along with everything I've been saying.
Hello and Thanks for responses.
Dear Defunkt and other friends, i mean that it's true for all the integer numbers.
For example: cos(x)=cos(2*pi+x)=cos(4*pi+x)=cos(6*pi+x)=cos(8*p i+x)=cos(10*pi+x)=cos(12*pi+x)=cos(14*pi+x)=cos(16 *pi+x)=cos(18*pi+x)=cos(20*pi+x)=cos(22*pi+x)=cos( 24*pi+x)=cos(26*pi+x)=cos(28*pi+x)=cos(30*pi+x)=.. ..{also for negative numbers}
If you use the Unit circle you will understant my assertion. Infact the Original period of Cosine function is p=2*pi (like sine function). If a function f is periodic with period P, then for all x in the domain of f and all integers n, f(x + nP) = f(x).
See: Periodic function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And the quadratic equation like any other polynomial IS NOT periodic.
So i think my assertion is Reasonable and yours is not!
I would agree with your claim, mathelogician. It is true that the sin and cos functions are -periodic. So, , and . However, reasoning backwards to any sort of equality of the x's is incorrect. Example:
But, obviously, for any integer .
The cosine and the sine functions are not 1-1; hence, reasoning from equality of the functions to equality of the arguments is not permissible. Reasoning from equality of arguments to equality of functions is permissible, since the cosine and sine functions are well-defined.
So, mathelogician, I would say that your original claim in the OP is incorrect. Your original claim was that IF THEN . But I've just shown you a counterexample to that claim. The converse of that claim, that IF THEN , is true. A statement is not, in general, equal to its converse!
But, all of this could well be irrelevant. I'm still left wondering what it is you're trying to do.
I think i got the Mistake!
1) When we speak about an equation, then we must have an unknown number (called x) an we want to find all Possible values for x. So my mistake was forgetting this Important issue!!
2) Then you should note that my claim wich is the expression and its converse, is ALWAYS true for Trig EQUATIONS.
Infact there we have an unknown number x and the General solution is the set of all possible values for that!
There are different proofs for this claim. For example a Geometric proof exists for that(If you need, i will write it here).
And almost in every Trigonometry book in you can find this solving method.(tell me if you need).
Why do you insist on asking my goal of questioning??!!!
p -> q
the converse is
q -> p
Ackbeet very clearly explained that using "for all integers k" only one direction is true, while the other is false. Please try to understand this. Using the symbol is to claim that both directions are true.
I will not post on this thread anymore (except to correct any mistake I may have made) because I feel the discussion is becoming unproductive, just saying the same thing over and over. Hope all this makes sense to the OP. Cheers.

Senator Mike Duffy has introduced a new plotline into his story about his life with the Conservatives, alleging that party operatives deliberately misdirected voters in a Vancouver Island riding in 2008.
Duffy testified Thursday about a trip he took to British Columbia in September 2009, at the request of former sport minister Gary Lunn. Many of the 31 charges that Duffy faces have to do with travel he billed to the Senate.
Duffy testifies that Stephen Harper insisted he represent P.E.I.
Duffy says he met Lunn and David Angus, a lobbyist for Molson Canada, a few months prior to his trip. He said Lunn was worried about re-election and wanted Duffy to appear at a local fair and for Molson to help with an Olympic torch.
"He'd had a close call during the previous election and it was only through the divine intervention of [late campaign manager] Doug Finley's black ops group at Conservative headquarters that he managed to get himself re-elected," Duffy told the court.
Voter misdirection
Julian West, the federal NDP candidate in Saanich-Gulf Islands in 2008, had withdrawn from the race, but his name remained on the ballot. Duffy recounted that the Conservatives used the party's voter database to encourage NDP voters to vote for West.
"Basically what happened was that they used robocalls to misdirect NDP voters, to split the vote and allow Gary Lunn to win," Duffy said.
"He knew nothing about it, except that they phoned him afterward and said 'You're welcome Gary.' He said 'What?' [They said], 'We got you in'."
Lunn told The Canadian Press on Thursday that he has no recollection of the June 2009 lunch, never knew who made the misleading phone calls and never told Duffy that it was Conservative headquarters.
Angus did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections.
Lunn was defeated in the 2011 election by Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. May told Global News on Thursday that she would like the RCMP and Elections Canada to take a look at the matter.
Duffy's third day of testimony went through several of the trips he took to Conservative events on the Senate's dime, many of which were specifically partisan. The defence has emphasized that the Senate's rules mention partisan activities as one of a senator's core functions.
On the September 2009 trip to British Columbia, Duffy met his children in Vancouver and says he received a phone call the night before Lunn's event on Vancouver Island telling him not to come.
"The campaign strategist who worked on B.C. decided that they had the Olympic torch in Saanich and to have me there would detract from Gary Lunn," Duffy said he was told later.
Lunn testified earlier this year that Duffy's participation was cancelled weeks before the event because the riding association didn't want to pick up any related expenses.

Profile of the Day: Jack London
Do you remember reading The Call of the Wild? On this day in 1897, author Jack London set sail for the Klondike. At the age of 21, London embarked on this perilous trek to join the hundreds of thousands of prospectors looking to strike gold. He stayed in the Klondike for almost a year, living for a time in the frontier town of Dawson City. However, the harsh, cold climate of the Klondike left London in poor health.
Although he never found gold, his experiences during the Klondike Gold Rush would inspire many of his greatest works, including The Call of the Wild, which made him famous around the country. The novel quickly gained popularity worldwide and since its 1903 publication, has never been out of print.
Jack London is connected to over 78 million people in Geni's World Family Tree. How are you related?

Tag Archives: women
All women break their underwear down into two basic categories: Touch Me Now and Touch Me Never. Any woman who tells you otherwise is a damn dirty liar. Except for maybe nuns – I'm not sure they have much of a choice in the first place.
Touch Me Now knickers (I refuse to type or say the p-word aloud) are pretty self-explanatory. We wear them to be seen or felt, if in no other place than our imagination. You'd be surprised how high the self-esteem meter will go just by putting a cute pair of Hanky Pankies on beneath your jeans.
Touch Me Nevers are a bit trickier. They're often the stereotypical Granny pair – high-rise cotton, baggy butt, generally unattractive even on Miranda Kerr – but worn for different reasons:
- There is no chance in hell they will sleep with you. They're going out with you as a favor to someone, in hopes of a free meal, or heightened ennui. Sorry, dude.
- She wants to sleep with you but doesn't want to be that girl. The one who gives it away. These are usually accompanied by unshaved legs (the moat to the castle) and maybe Mom Jeans (the drawbridge). Underwear, in this metaphor, would be the court jester. You know, designed to be laughed at but ultimately not going to protect you if the enemy has already made it that far.
Honestly, men, there's not a whole lot that you can do with this information, but I find it helps to get into the mind of your opponent before a big match. Be mindful of the VPL…that definitely puts you on the bad side of Touch Me Never territory, so don't waste your energy.
Also, men take no for an answer. Just a FYI.
A few weeks ago I experienced something that made me question my (clearly feminist) ideals. While leaving the home of a mutual friend one evening, a male acquaintance and I realized that the bus and train we'd be taking to our respective homes weren't running anymore because, you know, it was late. The lights on the street blinked changed from a white walking figure to a red flashing palm and the traffic light glowed yellow to red – my companion ran across the street while I stayed behind, unmotivated by enough to elicit a jaywalk. "See you later, Kaitlin!" I cocked my head to the side in confusion, watching a 25-year-old
man boy duck his head into a cab, leaving a young woman alone on a Chicago street corner at 1 o'clock in the morning.
I distinctly remember in the fifth grade being a pilot class for some new social studies textbook that was being produced. I browsed the table of contents and saw that near the end of the book was a section called Women's Rights. Being my mother's daughter and a budding feminist myself, I excitedly asked my teacher if we would be studying that chapter at all. "Oh, well, maybe if we have time," she said.
Needless to say, we did not study women's rights at all that year.
In a world of Snooki and sex tapes, women of the world still have a lot to break through. For every Gloria Steinem advocating for women to move beyond stereotypes and get equal pay (because that whole 78 cents for every dollar a man earns is still true in 2012) there are twenty Real Housewives waiting in line to become the next superstar of hair pulling, name calling, and vagina flashing.
To each her own, but at some point we have to remember why women burned bras (great in theory, painful in lacking lumbar support) and fought for the vote.
Last year, I wrote a little something for Feminist Coming Out Day, and it remains true today:
I believe that I can be and do whatever because that's how my mother raised me. I believe that I deserve to be treated like anyone else because that's what my father taught me. If you hear me call myself a feminist and think that I can braid the hair where my arms connect to torso, then imagine what you will. If you read my words and imagine a brooding voice from the aisles of Home Depot, then think yourself happy. I am a feminist because I can be. I am a feminist because we all should be.
If you don't like that or what women can do, then I encourage you to get educated or fuck off. Women, like racial and religious minorities, all sexual orientations, and able-bodied or other-bodied persons, deserve to live with pride and equality. My generation hasn't had to fight the way our mother's and grandmother's did, and I think it's our biggest problem.
Maybe if we keep fighting why we fought in the first place.

Is anyone besides me trying to follow this show on Bravo? What's up with it? I TIVOed it last night, but it was an Angela Bassett movie.
I haven't seen that they have announced the new times on Bravo. I'm betting that what you TIVOed was supposed to be a rerun when it was going to keep playing on NBC.
Bravo ran the original two episodes on 08/30 @ 8 pm. Of course I watched them again, cuz I really do like this show.
Here is what was listed on Bravo.com as the lineup for Law Firm's episodes;
Sun, Sep 4 6:00 PM The Law Firm
Tue, Sep 6 8:00 PM The Law Firm
Wed, Sep 7 11:00 AM The Law Firm
Tue, Sep 13 8:00 PM The Law Firm

All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed; in
life that which is unnoticed has the most power.
Is anyone still watching this? I am taping them (not sure when they come on exactly) but they are down to 2 lawyers - Olivier and Michael.
I have been watching it, although I missed the episode Saturday a week ago (When they went from 4 to 3 lawyers and Deep was let go).
I'm sorry that NBC canned the show, and that Bravo has been moving it around. It appears to me to be a good education in quality of lawyers and how the competency of the lawyer can make or break a case. There were two weeks in a row when the party that won shouldn't have, but their lawyers really messed up. If people watched, they might have a better understanding of, and appreciation for, a competent attorney (not talking ambulance chasers here). Unfortunately, I think the show might be just a little too dry for the average viewer.
Looks for sure like Mike will win. I really didn't like him at all until last week when he became more human, but he definitely is the best of the bunch.
I'm stunned that Olivier hung in that long. I found him pretty interesting, but he seemed like such a loose cannon I thought for sure he'd be shown the door early on.Originally Posted by PGM35
The last episode I caught was the online gay sports site had the runner's picture on it. Leaving Olivier and Michael.. I only missed the episode where Deep was canned, how ironic, jpo726.
Did I miss the finale episode??
I really enjoyed this show.. too bad it wasn't kept in the "main stream".
All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed; in
life that which is unnoticed has the most power.
He should have been. He was a good speaker, but just wasn't that great of a laywer. I thought Deep was very good and should have outlasted Olivier.Originally Posted by Qboots
The finale was on Sat 10/15. Michael won.Originally Posted by Maveno
I too thought Olivier should have been dismissed when he yelled/ cursed at the judge. When Deep was dismissed it was b/c of a critical error during the trial. Same with Aileen. And as far as the finale went, Olivier won the last trial but he too made a mistake during the trial ( not bringing in a witness that would have made his case stronger) and that is why MIchael won out over him.

A computer with an internet connection to research some good questions ahead of time.
Set Up
Pick a few questions off Plinky.com
Sometimes a good icebreaker can be as simple as answering a good question or prompt. If the goal is to get people warmed-up, talking, laughing and having fun... sometimes that's all it takes. For a live group, the facilitator picks a question or prompt and asks people to pair up and share with their answer with their partner. For an online community, ask people to post their answers to a community forum or message board.
Plinky is a service/community that you can subscribe to will send you good questions & prompts every day. You can also browse/search their archives.
Here's a sample of some of their recent prompts that would make great icebreaker questions for the start of your next meeting:
- Paul Simon was going to Graceland, Toto blessed the rains down in Africa – what place would you write a song about? Explain why it's worthy of song.
- If you were named based on your traits, habits, or likes, what would your name be? One of our engineers, "Orders Lots of Stuff From Amazon," wants to know.
- Have you ever bought anything that has its own infomercial (like the ShamWow® or Snuggie™)? What compelled you to make your purchase? If you haven't, what have you been tempted to buy?
- Animal face-off! Who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark? Defend your pick.
- You've been invited on a talk show to explain your job to the hosts. What would you say you do on a daily basis? Explain your duties and describe your day.
- 'Frankly, Rosebud, you can't handle the truth!' Have a favorite line from a movie? What's the line and why do you like it?
- Recommend a book to someone who needs a good laugh. What's so funny?
- What city would you retire to if money were no object? Why would you spend your golden years there?
- Congratulations! You're going to be featured in the next issue of Sports Illustrated. How does your bio read? For which sport, game or athletic feat are you profiled? What details, factual or otherwise, would the sporting world learn about you?
- Who would you rather be seated next to on a daylong bus trip: an irritating talker or a quiet starer? What's your rationale?
- What's the best prank you've ever seen?
- Describe the greatest put-on you've witnessed (or seen on TV), and why it stuck with you.
Note: they have a lot of questions about relationships, which aren't necessarily appropriate for your group... e.g. "What's the worst way you've ever dumped or been dumped by someone?" is probably not a good way to start your next staff meeting, so use your discretion. Also, the better you can relate the questions to the content of your meeting or training (even if you don't reveal to the participants how it's related until after the activity) the more it will help build community.
None necesssary, but if you are doing this live, after you give people a chance to talk in pairs, you can ask a few volunteers to share with the larger group.

AstraZeneca PLC to Cut 625 Jobs
Published: Dec 06, 2012
The bleeding continues. AstraZeneca is eliminating up to 625 jobs from its operations in Germany in response to difficulties replenishing its product pipeline and pricing cuts imposed by the government, according to a statement on its web site. The cuts are being made due to "delays in the research and development of new drugs as well as to massive state intervention in the pricing of innovative medicines," the drug maker says. In the scheme of things, 625 positions is not a huge number of job cuts, given the thousands that have been shed by the pharmaceutical industry, including AstraZeneca. Earlier this year, for instance, the drugmaker announced plans to slash 7,300 jobs. It is not clear if the job cuts in Germany are part of this previously announced plan. We asked a spokeperson for comment and will update you accordingly. As we wrote previously, those cuts are designed to save $1.6 billion annually by the end of 2014 and underscore the fallout expected from patent expirations on some of its biggest sellers, notably the Crestor cholesterol pill, the Nexium acid reflux med and the Seroquel antipsychotic.

Home > LED LIGHTS > classic led lights > Studio LED Fresnel 100 DMX
The new Cinelight Studio LED Fresnel light that combines all the benefits of LED technology with the conventional Fresnel lamphead design. Moving along the next level in terms of lighting solutions, Cinelight actually incorporated the daylight balanced LED source into a more traditional lighting form that people are used to work with.
The new Fresnel CineLED 100 DMX provides single, hard shadowed bright light, having the controllability and the light shaping properties of a classic Fresnel light. It is fully dimmable (0-100%) with no color shifting, and the beam spread can be adjusted from spot to flood (or everything in between) using a digital controlling mechanism. Also, the Studio Fresnel LED features an integrated DMX-512 controller, enabling the remote operation of the unit from theater-style dimmer boards. All the adjustments functions are located on the back of the unit.
Featuring an active cooling design, the fixture can be easily handled and placed near to subjects, without creating an overheated working environment. The unit is AC powered, using just a fraction of the power of a tungsten Fresnel 650W equivalent light output.
With the small amount of heat generated due to the LED technology, and less power consumption than a traditional Fresnel light, the Cinelight Studio Fresnel LED series proves to be a very efficient but also affordable LED Fresnel lighting source to use.
Key Features:
- 100W LED power
- illumination spot mode: 1m = 33500lx | 3m = 1160lx | 5m = 130lx
- illumination flood mode: 1m = 5000lx | 3m = 240lx | 5m = 50lx
- 130 mm Fresnel lens.
- Single hard shadow.
- Spot-Flood servo-mechanical capable.
- DMX 512 controller via RJ45 port
- Full range dimmer (0-100%) with no color shifting
- Digital display for brightness and DMX channel.

Yesterday, we looked at our favorite bands of 2010, but it would be unfair not to mention the many great solo artists we discovered this year. These were all part of the recurring Best of What's Next feature at PasteMagazine.com. We hope you like them as much as we do.
Here are our 10 favorite new solo artists of 2010:
10. Eli "Paperboy" Reed
Hometown: Boston Album: Come and Get It For Fans Of: Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye
About 15 seconds into the title track of Eli "Paperboy" Reed's Capitol Records debut, Come and Get It (out this month)—right when the brass kicks in and he lets out a hair-raising "Whoo!"—it becomes clear that the 26-year-old singer has more soul than he knows what to do with.
Reed passed his high-school days in Boston playing harmonica, guitar and saxophone with his school band and holing up with buddies to listen to records. (Around the same time, he also started wearing his grandfather's old newsboy cap, which earned him an enduring nickname.) "We didn't go to class," Reed remembers. "We just sat in the music room and listened to music and talked about what was good and bad. I'm sure everyone thought we were assholes."
Nothing changed when he enrolled at the University of Chicago—where running a radio show, playing at a local church and scouring record stores all took priority over classes. "I was sort of always figuring I was going to do something else while I was actively pursuing music," Reed says. He left after a year.
About five years ago, Reed finally made music his primary focus and formed his current band, The True Loves. His musical and lyrical experiments allowed him to find his unique voice, one that reflects his profound respect for Motown's greats. It's classic soul for a new generation; teenagers at his shows have asked what kind of music he plays because they've never heard anything like it.—Ani Vrabel
9. Keegan DeWitt
Hometown: Nashville Album: Nothing Shows EP For Fans Of: Jason Isbell, Roman Candle, Bon Iver
Keegan DeWitt
studied film in college, but perhaps he should have been an English major. Though he first made his name by composing movie scores, and then as a member of rootsy rock-group Roman Candle, his first two solo albums are rife with literary references and inspiration. His most recent EP, Nothing Shows, released in July, was influenced by the poetry of Philip Larkin and boasts folksy, upbeat tracks with a cinematic edge.
DeWitt hopes to head to Europe again to gather some literary inspiration for his next EP, to be released sometime this winter. "I've been digging through all this different stuff and I have to figure out what the next piece is," he says. "I think it has to start from removing myself and going someplace, again."—Caroline Klibanoff

"Soon, very soon, the blood will spill like an ocean," ISIS threatens in revenge for airstrikes on its fighters in Syria.
We have had the ridiculous concept that the Muslims in the Middle East would never have the ability to take the world. They were backward and uneducated when compared to the West. The concept that camel herders would push against Western backed nations was laughable. But currently, four years after the civil war in Syria and the rise of ISIS, few are laughing any longer.
A short while ago, Russia joined the fight in Syria. This has drawn judgments from NATO leaders, and particularly the U.S. They have maintained that the Russians were attacking U.S. allies fighting the Syrian dictator Assad rather than ISIS as they had stated. But today, this appears less likely to be true.
Fox reports:
The latest video from ISIS combines the terrorist group's trademark barbarity with an ambitious pledge: a vow that it is coming after the Kremlin.
"We will take through battle the lands of yours we wish," a voice says in Russian, as English subtitles float over scenes of slaughter and a map of the world. "Hellfire awaits you. Europe is shaking, Russia is dying."
Vowing that the "Kremlin will be ours" and promising attacks on Europe, the 5-minute video's producers pledge to "make blood spill like an ocean."
It looks obvious that the Islamic State is unhappy with the the latest airstrikes carried out by Russia.
Though the U.S. has stated that they were not attacks against the Islamic State, it looks that something that the Russians have executed has caught the eye of the terrorists.
Fox continued:
"The video is a clear threat to Russia, and to a certain extent to other Western countries," said Veryan Khan, editorial director for the U.S.-based Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium. "The Islamic State claims they will reach the Kremlin and bring it down."
The video is noteworthy; analysts say, because it was released just after an Islamic State affiliate took credit for the Russian airliner plane crash in the Sinai Peninsula, and in the same week there was a reported attack on the Russian Embassy in Serbia.
This indicates that the Russian folks will join their Western neighbors in interacting with arbitrary attacks. There are many explanations to think that the Russian menace is a real one.
The bringing down of a passenger-liner is not as simple as it sounds. And, like most nations, the Russians have a huge population of Muslims.
Fox reports:
Ryan Mauro, national security analyst and adjunct professor of homeland security for the Clarion Project, agreed that the propaganda video was put together as a response to Russian intervention in Syria. Russia should expect the terror group to follow through, he said.
"ISIS is making it very clear that it will attack Russia, specifically Moscow, and a failure to do so will be a big blow to their prestige," Mauro said. "We should assume they'll succeed because bombing a Russian airliner over Egypt is more difficult than attacking a random target inside Russia because ISIS only needs a small group of supporters among the 15 percent of the Russian population that is Muslim."
Russia could currently have proof that they have induced destruction on ISIS, but at what cost? They currently discover themselves in the boat with the rest of us.
The variation is, the Russians will have no argument about playing things dirty.

Law and Business
Life as a Business Student Ambassador
- Name:
- Katrina (Katie) McLaren – New Business Student Ambassador 2012
- Campus:
- North Sydney
- Degree:
- Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing (completing end of Semester 1, 2013)
What would surprise most people about your role as a Student Ambassador?
It is great fun! Being a Student Ambassador is about talking to prospective students and giving them some insight into the university. ACU is a fantastic university, which combines intimate campuses with excellent teaching and support staff. Telling people how great ACU is, is really easy.
What are the main developments in your Student Ambassador role?
I think the biggest develop affecting the Ambassadors is ACU's rapid expansion. For me specifically, it's the development of the Business School, seeing ACU develop means that there are increasing opportunities for current and future students. Wider range and availability of subjects and majors means that students can really develop their skill sets and tailor their educational experience in the direction they want.
If I could invite any five people to dinner, who would they be and why?
I actually found this question a little tricky, as I can think of many more than five people that I would be interested in meeting and chatting to over dinner, however I think my invitees would include, Oprah Winfrey. She is a strong, independent and savvy business woman, who has developed a successful empire, plus she has met every famous person on the planet! My second invitee would be Hamish Blake, one half of the hilarious comedy pair 'Hamish and Andy', as I think he would keep everybody laughing. Gail Kelly, current CEO of Westpac Bank would be my next addition as I think Gail would have some great insight into women in business and it would be great to get some tips. Richard Branson would be my fourth dinner party guest as he is an extremely success entrepreneur. It would be interesting to talk to him about how he developed his ideas and created an empire. My final invitee would have to be my sister Laura: she is a funny, smart and interesting individual – and she is such a kind sister that she would stay and help clean up after everyone had left!
In life I have learned...
What you put into, is what you get out of it! After leaving school and working full time for a few years, I felt it was time to go to uni. Working really hard at uni, not only returned great results, but it has also opened up a lot of other doors, I made the Dean's List, am currently representing the Business School as a Student Ambassador and I was selected to represent ACU at the 2nd University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Thailand.

Right-hander Chien-Ming Wang felt his surgically repaired shoulder tighten up between innings of an intrasquad game on a windy Friday morning, and cut short his scheduled two-inning stint.
"He said he was just a little tight," pitching coach Steve McCatty said. "There's no sense in trying to rush it, with all the progress he's made. We were hoping for two [innings], but it was one. We'll see where he's at in a day or two, and go from there."
In his first game-speed action of the spring, facing Nationals minor-leaguers, Wang wound up throwing 16 pitches, 10 of them for strikes. Radar readings on his fastball were generally in the mid-80s, with at least one at 87 mph, but still several ticks below his pre-surgery norm.
Wang actually looked better in his pre-game bullpen session than during his one inning in the game, with plenty of movement on his trademark sinker.
Opposing Wang, lefty Tom Gorzelanny also faced his first in-game action of the spring, making it through two innings and throwing a total of 23 pitches, 15 of them for strikes. Gorzelanny had been set back by a case of walking pneumonia just before the opening of camp. He said he feels fine now and expects to pitch in big league exhibition games beginning with his next outing.

At start of game go to the options menu. Then select practice. When you get there first get the guy with the gun out of your way because he might mess you up. After he's dead pick up the car and fly through all the rings even through the last one, you can't simply walk through it. If you successfully did this there will be a glitch in the game and you will be in the car.
