George M. Martin, professor of pathology and adjunct professor of genome sciences
Pathologist George Martin: Genes and Aging
The good news is, people live longer. The bad news is, there are still many things that can go wrong as a result of the aging process.
Dr. George M. Martin, professor of pathology and adjunct professor of genome sciences, has been researching the pathobiology of aging for over 40 years. Martin, who is also the founding director of the UW Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), uses genetic methods and approaches, including the investigation of rare "experiments of nature" that have the potential to inform us about processes of aging in human beings.
These studies have led to the discovery of the molecular basis of Werner syndrome, a recessive genetic disease that results in the premature development of numerous disorders of aging, and the mapping of dominant genes causing early-onset dementias of the Alzheimer type. His lab is currently involved in studies of an adaptor or "scaffold" protein (FE65) that is involved in modulating the deposits of the type of amyloid found in the brains of Alzheimer victims.
Martin attended the UW, where he earned a B.S. in chemistry in 1949 and a M.D. in 1953. During medical school he participated in now-Professor Emeritus of Medicine Belding Scribner's early research in the management of fluid and electrolyte balance. Martin completed an internship at Montreal General Hospital in Canada in 1954. From 1955 to 1957 he was a resident and then an instructor of pathology at the University of Chicago.
Martin returned to the UW as an instructor of pathology in 1957. After serving as an U.S. Public Health Service research fellow at Glasgow University in Scotland, he became the founding director of UW Medical CenterÕs Cytogenetics Laboratory in 1962. He became a full professor in 1968. He has also been an attending pathologist at UW Medical Center since 1959.
Among numerous awards and honors, Martin will become the president of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and receive the 2002 Ipsen Foundation Longevity Prize at the GSA annual meeting in November. The Ipsen Longevity Prize was created in 1996 to honor researchers who have made outstanding contributions in the field of longevity. Martin is also the author of more than 300 articles and book chapters and currently serves as editor-in-chief of Science of Aging Knowledge Environment (SAGE KE), a Web site sponsored by Science magazine. He is a senior member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.

Slightly unclean, but > perhaps the best option. Yeah. However, could we achieve what we want by simply having each pixel inherit the highest alpha value of any pixel within X of it, with X depending on the spread? Negative spreads would inherit the lowest alpha instead. Obviously more expensive than ignoring it, but not as bad as, say, edge-detecting and trying to intelligently grow it. ~TJReceived on Thursday, 12 February 2009 22:47:49 UTC

When OTC launched their new Genisys Scan Tool with advanced features, we branded it as "The Productivity Tool" for automotive technicians. This was a departure from the normal comparisons with competitive offerings which focused mostly on functional features and specs. In essence we decided to win the game by changing the rules.
Repeating the "Productivity IS" as a paragraph lead to direct the reader's eye towards key features. A technical screen shot was treated as a visual inset with the product to add credibility to the productivity claims.
These design elements were also used for an email campaign, on the web site and other promotions including booth graphics at an annual trade show. As a consequence of strong graphics, good PR and the concept of focusing on productivity, OTC was able to capture market share for this product and the industry as a whole began to emphasize productivity as a theme.

The Cambrian
CCSD directors move meeting up a week to March 21
The Cambria Community Services District Board of Directors will meet a week earlier than usual in March so they can attend a special training hosted by the Special District Risk Management Authority, which also provides CCSD's insurance.
The tentative March 21 agenda includes: Resolution approving interim issuance of intent-to-serve letters; mid-year budget for 2012-2013; amend affordable-housing code sections; prohibit transfers that would result in a parcel having more than one wait-list position; approve operational agreement between CCSD and Cal Fire to consolidate reserve personnel; and discuss outline of steps a project must take to comply with the district's new "water efficiency" conservation requirements of causing no net increase in water use.
The meeting is set to start at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21, rather than March 28.
Clift, also an SDRMA director, encouraged his CCSD peers to attend the training, not only because the training is helpful but because the district gets credits for attendance by staff and directors, credits that translate into lower insurance rates.

Can it be done?
The answer is yes...though with a lot of difficulty!
I'm on Day 6 with laryngitis and I gotta say, it's not fun. Never mind the fact that I sound like I should be operating an adults only phone line; but, it's really difficult to get the kids to listen to me when I sound like a member of the Chipmunk family.
Thankfully, it seems as though only my voice has been affected by this virus. I feel fine otherwise which is good since I still have a plethora of tasks to do before Christmas this weekend.
So while I may sound like Alvin, Simon or Theodore I still have a household to run. Right now it involves a lot of gesturing to get my point across; but, I think we are all finally figuring it out.
Much like Cindy Brady asking Santa to give her mommy's voice back, I'm asking Santa to bring me mine.
In the interim I'm squeakily wishing you all a very Happy Holiday!

Re "A new year brings new California laws" (Dec. 26):
After reading about the new laws taking effect at the first of the year, I wanted to offer a word of praise to our intelligent lawmakers who legislated the ban on straws.
The intent apparently was to help save the ocean from unnecessary pollution. Curiously, fast-food restaurants were exempted. I personally have never been automatically given a straw to go along with my merlot and filet mignon, but it's important that we guard against violations by any fine restaurant that requires a shirt and shoes.
I'm sure the boys and girls in Sacramento and Washington carefully spent our precious tax dollars on a sufficient amount of surveys, studies and reports that disclosed where the straw problem is most serious.

L.A. County's beaches
Re "Turning tides" (Dec. 23):
It is appalling you don't know anything that's going on in your own backyard. No one in southern Los Angeles County needs to go down to Orange County to receive free and wonderful tidepool hikes on a daily basis year round. We have Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
And if you know how to snorkel, some of the richest marine life can be seen 200 yards from shore in what Jacques Cousteau listed as the most beautiful kelp forest and rocky reef point off of Cabrillo Beach.
Rock reefs and kelp canopies delight. And a wooden bridge to go over to the tidepools that wrap around the southernmost tip of L.A. County. Perhaps a blessing you did not mention so then we'll keep all the trash-leavers away and keep this very quiet and peaceful beach pristine.

Funding for bullet train
So $80 billion and counting for the bullet train to nowhere; $5 billion proposed for national security.
The same politicians who still back the bullet train say $5 billion is too much money for national security.

Tunneling under the wall
They can build the wall as high as they like. They can put electrically charged razor wire on the top. Problem solved? Not exactly. It would take two well-equipped fellas about two hours to tunnel under it.

Veils are relatively easy to make, despite being rather costly in the boutiques. Making your wedding veil yourself also means choosing the exact fabric, length and colour that you want, rather than having to resort to someone else's creation.

Gear Thursday: Veggies on the go – MiYim's stroller rattle
By Unknown on Thursday, December 24, 2009
Filed Under: gear
When I was a boy I don't think we had stroller toys or rattles. I think I just played with my mom's keys except when we went grocery shopping. Apparently when I was in grocery stores I would play with Jello boxes and bread eating through both of their packaging.
Warning: it looks much nicer in person.
Now there are a bunch of things out there Velcro® onto a stroller to keep your baby occupied. We just received this cute rattle the other day.
Made by MiYim: Simply Organic it's a cute little pea pod stroller rattle with a small elastic piece that connects to your stroller. We have the Under the Nile Veggie Crate and this is a great way for the little MF to take his/her when we're out.
It's super soft and the color is really nice. Miyim dyes the organic cotton in a water bath with dyes from plants and minerals. As it says on the packaging it's "free of harmful substances, from start to finish."
Here is a quick low down on their organic cotton collection
- certified organic cotton fabric (unprocessed)
- certified non-toxic & chemical free coloring
- low eco impact dye process
- environmentally friendly
- non-irritant to sensitive skin
- MiYim has an ethical labor policy
It makes sense to me because most of this stuff ends up in their mouths. Although I'm not all freaky about everything out there. I was probably chomping on lead paint as a kid and I'd always play with mercury when a thermometer broke. Still if there is a cool alternative and I can support a smaller company I'll do it.

Undisclosed Truth
Some may say that loneliness follows us to the grave,
It's probably true…
The trust that once was the flag of so many…turns black.
It shades them from the truth and equality that we were born with,
Some may even say that there is no space for those who still follow the book…
I cannot deny that the darkness does not show up once or twice,
But if so, aren't we at all human??
The hypocrisy of decades still show and the egocentric moves,
Tend to have a laugh…
Some may say that those who do,
Are like fallen preachers of the righteous word,
That can't fight the eager heart of Dante's inferno…
The self-indulgent and violence of one still stand strong behind,
While the under gloom blacks the way…
There is no secret to avoid it,
Even the sick religious turn their backs to the truth.
Believing that there is only one road to the safe heaven,
So outcast the nature of human philosophy,
While fabling the end, like it was written by the all-knowing Yahweh.
Me?? I carry my torch... facing and embracing reality as it is,
Forgotten but truthful and devoted to my humble & seraphic ideas…
"Like I once said: just a drifter… "

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.
It's Simona here, founder of The Yellow Peg: the place where all your fashion dreams become true!
It's Simona here, founder of The Yellow Peg: the place where all your fashion dreams become true!
My motto is Sew your style, wear your dreams as I believe fashion doesn't have to be someone else's statement, just ours. Aren't you tired of shopping off the peg? I am!
Shopping used to be a pretty frustrating matter until the magic of sewing revealed to me… and I fell in love!
I'm done with compromising: "this isn't exactly what I was picturing but, you know, the price is OK, so I guess…". Enough! No more trade-offs, no more second-thoughts! Ta-daaaaa!
So this is why I founded The Yellow Peg in the first place. It all started with a sewing blog, as everybody deserves the chance to know that making your own clothes is not dark magic, it's something you can easily learn with a little effort, some patience and a lot of passion. Those are the only ingredients you need!
At the beginning of 2016 I decided to take a step further and start my new adventure as a fashion designer.
It was time to pick my clothes off the right peg!
That's how The Yellow Peg became an online shop too: the place where to find my vintage-inspired clothing and accessories entirely designed and handmade in my workshop, in the heart of Verona, Italy.
Here, you can play mix&match with customisable creations: you're the one who decides what best matches who you really are to make fashion your personal statement.
You never know where life's paths may lead you. I'm the living example of that!
They say big life changes often happen around 30. Well… they might be right.
I got my master in computer science engineering and then a PhD in computer vision and machine learning. "Wow", pleople usually say. Well, it's "wow" until it's not! Sometimes you just feel like what you do doesn't push you forward anymore and you're kinda stuck. That's how I felt. So I decided it was time for a change.
When I was a kid I used to spend time at my grandma's house. She was sewing and embroidering most of the time, when houseworks were done. She could sew anything for anyone, including my Barbie! I used to seat and watch her working. I never thought I would have ended up doing more than a hem on a pair of trousers.
Then my mom bought me a sewing machine. It stayed in the storage for almost one year until I decided it was time to think about some handmade Christmas gifts. There we go! I never put it back to where it was. I started to learn how to sew my own clothes in January. Less than 6 months later I already had 5 skirts, one jacket, 2 dresses, 3 tops and one blouse in my wardrobe. All made by me. I started taking sewing and patternmaking classes, buying books and learning as much as I could in my spare time, after work, during weekends and holidays. At nighttime too. In less than 9 months I was able to design my first ceremony dress in a 1950s vintage style. Oh yeah, did I forget to say I love vintage?
At some point it was just clear to me that this was my new path. It's a bit scary to leave what you've been studying for your entire life for something totally new, starting from scratch. But I had the feeling this was calling me, who was I not to pick up the phone?
And here I am, growing The Yellow Peg. Hope you'll like it as much as I do.

"Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists." ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
Today we commemorate the people that died 14 years ago, during the September 11 attacks in the United States of America. It is said that the 4 coordinated attacks were done by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda - I rather preffer not to comment on other theories, but rather focus on the huge loss that the USA had suffered that day. The attacks consisted of suicide attacks used to target symbolic U.S. landmarks - the World Trade Center twin towers, the Pentagon & the potential Washington DC (where brave people inside the plane tried to take it away from the hijackers - it crashed in a field). It is amazing for me to see the rapidity with which this country regenerates from its loss. Immediately the contest of a new design of the Ground Zero took place, and by the time I visited NYC in the summer of 2007 the ground was already worked upon to build what stands tall this day: the One World Trade Center Spire (the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. In order to celebrate America and its courage and power to stand up and fight on, I wish to share with you 10 Reasons Why Foreigners Love America (foreigners just like myself :) ).
1. America = The Land of Dreams. Everything can happen if you truly believe in your dream and yourself. They have signed off the first Constitution in the world, they brought to us Windows / Mac, filled all our heads with the Motion Pictures, took the first man on the Moon... they even got the first colored President in the White House! :) It is indeed a relief that even though failure exists, also big things can come into motion - unlike Germany who kinda promotes an Yoda vision over the world: "Do or do not. There is no try!"
2. America = The Greatest Engine of Innovation. I will just leave you with this quote by Thomas L. Friedman (American journalist, New York Times): "America is the greatest engine of innovation that has ever existed, and it can't be duplicated anytime soon, because it is the product of a multitude of factors: extreme freedom of thought, an emphasis on independent thinking, a steady immigration of new minds, a risk-taking culture with no stigma attached to trying and failing, a noncorrupt bureaucracy, and financial markets and a venture capital system that are unrivaled at taking new ideas and turning them into global products."
3. American People Are Friendly. If you ever met someone from America (and you most probably have, as they surely love to travel the world!) you will immediatly be their best friend. You will be able to sit down and pick up a conversation with them, basically on any topic. They love to share their experiences and expertise and they are enthusiastic about everything you will tell them. They will always ask you how you are feeling if they see you are unwell and they will most probably go after police/ambulance if you are in trouble/in need. They just love to jump in and help!
4. Connected to the point 3 I need to point out that I have never seen anywhere else Customer Care/Service as I have seen in the USA! There, indeed the Customer is the King! People look enthusiastic about helping you (even if they do not feel well they will still give their 100% during their working hours!). You never get pushed / bullied / given the angry look... they always smile and talk nicely, they give their best to make you feel comfortable and they always smile. They really work their arse off and they do not complain at work - sure they do it at home, but hey! I ain't listening then ;) am I?! Home is ones kingdom!
5. America = Big Houses. I have to admit it, when I say big houses I do not talk of the big cities like NYC where people live in really tiny apartments (usually)... I am talking about those huge mansions everyone sees when strolling down, let us say the Atlantic Ocean shore... The houses are always so big and you start thinking how much does one pay for cleaning, does everyone own a housemaid and a pool-boy to cleanup from leaves and god knows what?! The basement has to have at least a washing machine, dryer, a place to workout / relax / keep the Harley... then you get the ground floor with the living room and guests quarters and bathroom + the 1-2 other floors with rooms for family / friends / gym / baths... ghosts, gouls, you name it! :)
6. America = The Liberty. Should it come as a hint that The Big Apple (NYC) has a Statue with that very same name? I mean, you know I love the Big Brother theory but still... I have to say it that at least on the surface everyone admits that America is the country with the greatest liberties. Let's take for example the Internet, the tech that has been produced and it is available now for the wide audience (you can even buy a drone in the mall!)... People in USA talk about the freedom of speech and take Martin Luther King's example - would you see that happening anywhere else? He had a DREAM! and he could say it out loud!
7. America = Patriotism. Should I point out that one of the MARVEL heroes is Captain America?! Nope... that goes without saying... America, even though has not much history to brag about - like other countries in the good old Europe, knows how to show it's true red-white-blue blood :) Every visitor remarked how the level of patriotism is high and how flags can be found everywhere! Not to mention all the clothing with the specific colors & other merchandise.
8. America = Coffee Culture. Have you ever been to a Dunkin Donuts or a Starbucks in the USA? There is ALWAYS a queue! People in the USA really do love their coffee. It is their fuel and the morning cannot start without it! Let's face it, people even work from Starbucks - it's comfortable, it's peaceful (nice background music) and one can enjoy it's coffee in peace. You may not understand why the locals are willing to pay daily at least around 4 dollars for a cup of coffee, instead of doing it home and lowering the expense, but hey! that's life in the USA :) and in case you did not know: "everything runs on Dunkin Donuts" ;)
9. America = Good Music (I mean... at least some of the times :) Now don't jump at me!). If Americans gave Blues and Jazz to the world, you must forgive any trespasses... In turn, from Blues and Jazz came Rock & Roll + Pop Music, so we need to admit to the fact that good music came from USA. You may remember James Armstrong for blues, Frank Sinatra for his kick arse swing music, the King of Rock & Roll - Elvis Presley and for sure you know Madonna (Louise Ciccone) The Queen of Pop.
10. America = Huge Sizes. As I was also saying in point 5, American people think big! Be it towering buildings - cities filled with skyscrapers, huge cars to transport the huge loads of groceries / electronics (their several inches long TV, computer monitor...), giant portions when it come to food... Should I mention here all the places everywhere, where you can have all you can eat food? Should I mention the free refills in KFC / Mc Donalds / Burger King when it comes to juices?! Or should I just stop at the home-made theaters where you can make your own popcorn at your very own vintage popcorn machine?! You name it - America has it ;)
Why do you, as a foreigner, love America? And if you are an American, do you agree with all the above? Why do YOU love your homeland? Why do YOU think Foreigners should love it? Or is it wrong to say Foreigners? After all, America came to its glory and form in which it is now due to the immigrants as well... and how much native blood of the people that actually were in America, before it was colonized, still exists? Do you wonder, as I do?
Yours truly,
The Twisted Red LadyBug

Powercolor Radeon HD 4890 PCS+ review -
|Radeon HD 4890 PCS+
|Street price:
To be able to comply to a decent gaming experience on your PC these days, you need to inject a fair amount of money into a graphics card. Of course you want the best, yet you don't want to pay too much. This is why we all love competition. ATI, NVIDIA and soon Intel are all fighting for your hard earned cold cash. Competition is the mighty allspark of innovation and is responsible for the evolution of graphics cards. But not just that, stiff competition will also drive prices down. We've seen this with NVIDIA's GTX 280 release. That card introduced at 500~550 USD, and then came ATI .. owned by AMD we quickly saw a much desired change; prices of high-end graphics cards became much cheaper.
Currently you can pick up a high-end Radeon graphics card for under 250 USD. As a result of ATI's nearly brilliant strategy, NVIDIA had to follow, and they quickly launched a similar priced GeForce GTX 275, which let's face it ... is almost a GTX 285 at 250 USD.
So though the graphics industry might be in a bit of a slope right now, just look back at the past year .. when the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 got launched, it completely reshaped the graphics arena, much to the dislike of team green as it made high-end graphics way more affordable.
Each high-end graphics card will always get a spin-off product. For the Radeon HD 4870 that meant the Radeon HD 4890, which was launched back in April. And while launched at 249 USD, you can now pick these faster clocked puppies already at 199 USD. And that creates a gap, an opportunity. See, the scalability of the Radeon HD 4890 is brilliant. Where the reference clocked products run at 850 MHz, they just can go much higher, if you create the right circumstances of course. Many manufacturers jumped onto that bandwagon and we right now are seeing the most extraordinary Radeon HD 4890 cards.
Today we test such a card, it comes from the chaps at PowerColor, they launched their Radeon HD 4890 PCS+ , a card with custom cooling, a lot of copper .. and it comes pre-overclocked at 950 MHz with a 4200 MHz memory frequency. That definitely sounds sexy, doesn't it?
Let's have a peek at the product and startup this in-depth review. Onwards to the next page fellows, and grab some coffee while you are at it.
It is time to tackle that new graphics card that AMD is releasing, the Radeon RX 590 is here and we'll be reviewing the Power Color Red Devil edition. What GPU will sit underneath that hood, Polaris?...

In the early 90s I used to go to Croydon regularly because there was a great second-hand record shop called Beanos there, and a branch of Forbidden Planet for comics. But I stopped collecting records and comics years ago. So this new train link comes about 15 years too late for me.

CAVITE PROVINCE Imus Estate.-The proposed extension of the Ebarcadero system, Imus Estate, was carried out during the year in order to dispose of an'd convert into rice fields the remaining vacant lands situated in the barrios of Burol and Bagoong. Accordingly, the Paliparan Dam, constructed by private parties, was repaired, and its reconstruction was started during the first quarter of the year. About 70 per cent of the work has been completed and it is believed that it may be utilized not later than March 31, 1929. Among the important works undertaken during the year, however, were the repairs of Escribano Tunnels, the installation of Boyang gate and the construction of Minong weir. The construction of Isaac Tunnel was suspended due to lack of funds. Fortunately, the typhoons and drought that occurred 'during the last quarter of the year did not do any great damage to the irrigation structures in this estate. It is true that some of the irrigation structures and irrigation canals were...

If you haven't heard of the Whisky Chicks by now then let me give you a little background. They are a group of ladies of all ages (21+), who embrace the unique tastes of a good bottle of bourbon. They pride themselves on being libation liberators; meaning they help women and even men appreciate and love a good whiskey cocktail. They do all this as well as provide a venue with each event that draws people in, in its self.
Westport Whiskey & Wine was the venue for this event. Their tasting room, which you can see in the pictures below, is spectacular. I am sure that any whiskey drinker would agree. The shop prides itself on having hard to fine whiskey, wine, beer and spirits. If you are in the Louisville area I would suggest you check it out.
This distillery tasting was my third event I attended with the Whisky Chicks and it just keeps getting better. Distilleries that were part of this craft tasting were:
Jeptha Creed with their Original Moonshine and Bloody Butcher's Creed. Jeptha Creed is a new family owned distillery in Shelbyville, KY that offers bourbon, moonshine and vodka. Their moonshine is a four-grain barley mash with a hint of sweetness, cayenne pepper and almond. If you like that spicy sweet taste this one is for you. The Bloody Butcher's Creed is 75% Bloody Butcher Corn / 10% Rye / 10% Wheat / 5% Malted Barley with a taste of rich tobacco pallets and baked spices that finish with warm maple syrup and peppermint.
Rabbit Hole showcased their Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Rye Whiskey. The Rabbit Hole Distillery will be located on the 700 block of Jefferson and Market Street. Rabbit Hole's four-grain Bourbon Whiskey consist of 70% Corn / 10% Malted Wheat /10% Honey Malted Barley/
10% Malted Barley, which makes it great for sipping. It has a taste of fruits and grains as well as vanilla, honey and almond. Their Rye Whiskey is 95% Rye and 5% Malted Barley with apricot and figs and finishes of spicy fennel.
Starlight bought tastings of their Bourbon Whiskey and their Carl T. Bourbon Whiskey. Starlight Distillery is located in Starlight Indiana with the Huber's Family Farm and Winery. Their Carl T's Bourbon Whiskey is comprised of 58% corn, 27% rye, and 15% malted barley and is 95 proof , compared to their Bourbon Whiskey which is cask strength, unfiltered and 115 proof.
Like all their events this one was super successful, and through talking to many of the ladies that attended they agree. The Whisky Chicks have truly crafted a great organization that allows women to meet others with similar interest as well as embrace differences. It allows women to explore whiskey and visit new places that they may not have experienced.

The two rivers adjacent to Manaus, the Rivers Negro and Solimoes merge to form the mighty Amazon River. The meeting of the waters from the two rivers means that the lighter waters of the River Solimoes run alongside the black waters of the River Negro for 6 kms before converging. This is one of the first sights you will see as you head out from Manaus into the rainforest. Here, the Amazon River is 1,600 km from the Atlantic and is 10 kms wide. This is the world's largest jungle and densest rain forest, with more diverse plants and animals than any other jungle in the world. Discover the immense network of vegetation, waterways and lakes which is home to one tenth of the world's plant and animal species, with many more yet undiscovered.
For the more adventurous traveller we recommend the 3 night tour to the Amazon Village. For those who enjoy a little more luxury and comfort we recommend a stay at the Amazon Eco Park or a traditional riverboat cruise on the Amazon Premium Clipper.
Rain occurs throughout the year in the Amazon but the wettest season is between December and May. It is hot all year and the humidity is at it's highest during the wet season. During the wet season is the best time to experience the flooded forest when the river rises and brings boats and canoes up to eye level with the trees. June to November is drier and a great time to explore the forest on foot.
Wildlife watching activities begin early in the Amazon to see the sunrise and when the temperature is cooler and the animals more active. Afternoon excursions may continue into the evening as the nocturnal animals emerge. The wildlife that you will see in the Amazon will depend on many factors including luck but should include pink dolphins, caimans, monkeys, toucans, macaws and boa constrictors.
Suggested Itineraries
Amazon Village: 4 days / 3 nights
The Amazon Village is located just 30 minutes by minibus and 2 hours by boat from Manaus and is an excellent base for an interesting and comprehensive jungle adventure.

Tenaway River Salmon Restoration Project Shows Remarkable Results as Fish Counts Increase
Media Contact:
John Redding, (208) 378-5212
Jim Esget, (509) 575-5848 x267
For Release: January 06, 2003
Fish that once thrived in a stretch of the Teanaway River appear to be making a comeback thanks to a seven-year conservation effort led by the Bureau of Reclamation and several regional partners.
The Teanaway River Restoration Project was initiated in 1996 to find solutions that would enhance flows in a section of river that was routinely dewatered during summer low flow conditions as a result of irrigation diversions.
Natural runoff declines during summer and fall, coupled with the peak demand for irrigation in mid to late summer, often dewatered sections of the Teanaway River, which caused a barrier to migration, spawning, and rearing of anadromous fish.
An additional consideration was the fish hatchery program at the Jack Creek Acclimation Facility operated by the Yakama Nation on the North Fork Teanaway River. In order for the hatchery smolt supplementation program to be successful, flows must be adequate to provide passage and to support adult fish returning to spawn.
"The acclimation site allows juvenile salmon to rear and imprint to an area with quality spawning habitat," said Alan Scherzinger, Assistant Manager of Reclamations Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project. "The dramatic increase in the number of redds in 2002 is a result of providing adequate flows and supplementing wild spring chinook salmon production with hatchery smolts."
The adults that returned and spawned in the North Fork Teanaway in 2002 were acclimated and released at the Jack Creek facility in the spring of 2000 - a normal water year that provided good smolt migration flows to the ocean.
"Reclamation worked with the water rights holders and received temporary transfers of the water rights from irrigation use to instream flow water rights," said Jim Esget, Reclamation YRBWEP Manager.
1981 - counting of salmon redds started in the Teanaway River Basin. In the 19 years after biologists started counting redds (1981 through 1999), very few spring chinook salmon were able to successfully access their spawning grounds in the Teanaway River Basin.
1989 - the highest redd count in this 19-year period was 6 redds; no redds were observed, in 13 of those years.
Increased instream flows and the removal of fish passage barriers as a result of the Teanaway River Restoration Project have resulted in increasing numbers of redds.
In 2000 and 2001, there were 21 redds observed each year.
In 2002 there were 110 redds observed in the river.
From 1996 - 2001:
Reclamation increased instream flows by leasing irrigation water rights on the Teanaway River. Farm lands associated with these water leases were temporarily allowed to go dry.
Reclamation leased irrigation water rights to provide a temporary, but immediate increase of instream flows.
Work continued with the partners, local landowners, and those holding irrigation water rights in order to find more permanent solutions.
As the lead agency for the Teanaway River Restoration Project, Reclamation partnered with the Yakama Nation, Bonneville Power Administration, Northwest Power Planning Council, State of Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Washington State Department of Ecology, State of Washington Governor's Salmon Recovery Funding Program, local land owners and irrigation water right users, Natural Resources Conservation Service, The Nature Conservancy, and others.
"This partnership found creative solutions to restoring fish to their native habitat," Scherzinger said. "Over the last seven years we were able to work toward building trust among the partners, while improving the quantity and quality of water and gaining a better understanding of the ecological and biological needs of anadromous fish."
The Yakama Nation received BPA funding, under a Northwest Power Planning Council grant, to construct pumping plants and pressurized irrigation water delivery systems for three irrigation entities in the Teanaway River basin, which were constructed by Reclamation in the summer of 2000. This water conservation project replaced inefficient, 19th century gravity-flow ditch irrigation systems with highly efficient, pressurized piped irrigation systems, allowing more water to be left instream for the fish.
The three participating irrigation entities have a total of almost 650 acres of land and over 4,130 acre-feet of associated water rights, representing approximately half of the irrigated lands in the Teanaway Basin.
All of the original diversion points were moved down river approximately 2.5 to 3 miles, thus increasing instream flows in the part of the river that has historically been dewatered by these irrigation diversions by the full amount formerly diverted into the gravity-flow ditches.
"The local land and water right owners now have state-of-the-art irrigation systems that replace antiquated earthen ditch water distribution systems," said Esget. "Their new water conservation systems will allow them to have a more reliable supply of irrigation water."
Another BPA and Northwest Power Planning Council grant is funding an extensive monitoring program in the Teanaway River Basin, which includes a multi-year study of stream temperature and sediment levels. The grant also funds additional irrigation upgrades to leave more water instream for fish.
The Washington Department of Ecology will fund further studies, more riparian revegetation and bank stabilization work. An EPA grant will fund informational road signs in the Teanaway basin to promote protection of riparian areas.
Reclamation secured congressional authorization in 1994 to work on this effort under the auspices of the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project, Phase II Restoration of anadromous fish in the Yakima River and its tributaries is a primary objective of YRBWEP.

An audience of angels gathers to watch a play. Mimes fly around the stage, seemingly as puppets driven by invisible forces, and the plot describes sin, madness, and horror. The crawling Conqueror Worm then appears, writhing as it eats the mimes. The curtain falls, and the distressed angels affirm that the play is a tragedy called "Man" and that the Conqueror Worm is the hero.
In its relatively brief five stanzas, "The Conqueror Worm" seeks to tell the allegorical history of mankind. The work acts as a frame story, where the outside frame is that of a throng of angels watching a play, and the inside frame is that of the play itself. As a narrative poem, "The Conqueror Worm" also contains a typical plot construction. The first stanza serves as the exposition, placing the angels at night in the setting of a theatre, while the second and third stanzas provide the rising action. The climax comes with the entrance and triumph of the Conqueror Worm, and the last stanza returns to the outside frame for the falling action and denouement.
Poe believed strongly in the aesthetic benefits of ensuring a unified mood throughout a poetic work, and he establishes the tone of his poem in the first stanza, as he introduces the image of angels "bedight in veils, and drowned in tears." The angels are associated with goodness and with Heaven, and their sorrow provides an early indication that the play will be a tragedy, although the protagonist has yet to enter the stage. As the play progresses to its completion, we find that humanity is merely a mass of faceless puppets who are victims to the true protagonist, the Conqueror Worm. In this tragedy called "Man," the Worm acts both as a particularly bloody Grim Reaper and as an interpretation of the evil serpent from the Biblical Garden of Eden. Unlike in most tragedies, however, the hero does not die but instead achieves victory, and the angels cannot help but mourn.
In Poe's understanding of humanity in "The Conqueror Worm," people are controlled by unseen and mysterious forces. Consequently, "Madness," "Sin," and "Horror" constitute the majority of the plot, a fact emphasized by the capitalization of these words within the poem. Curiously, for Poe, part of the tragedy of man is that the angels cannot help them but instead merely watch and witness as the Conqueror Worm devours. The last stanza turns the curtain into a metaphorical funeral pall, and the lines juxtapose the "rush of a storm" of the curtain with the "pallid and wan" exteriors of the angels. Death, as signaled by the curtain, has finality and a power that the angels lack.
After Poe authored "The Conqueror Worm," he chose to add it to his Gothic short story "Ligeia." In "Ligeia," the eponymous character writes the poem and shows it to her husband prior to her death. After he recites it for her, she screams at the injustice of the poem's suggestions about existence and quotes the epigraph of the story, which is supposedly written by Joseph Glanvill and which states that man only dies because of his lack of will. The sense of despair in the poem contrasts with Ligeia's resistance, and by the end of the story, Ligeia has seemingly found the will to return from the dead by taking over another woman's body. Nevertheless, Poe leaves open the question of whether her return is merely her husband's hallucination, and the inclusion of the poem complicates the truth of the visions of both the poem and the story.
In terms of structure, the poem adheres to a strict rhyme scheme, where each eight-line stanza takes an ABABCBCB pattern. The rigidity of this construction proves a harsh framework for the internal rhymes and the irregular, albeit melodic, rhythms of the poem. Meanwhile, Poe uses exclamations to break the rhythm into cacophonous explosions of sound. For instance, the phrase "It writhes! - it writhes!" continues the iambic rhythm that predominates in the fourth stanza, but the hyphens and exclamation points indicates pauses which disturb the poem's flow. Finally, the alliteration within phrases such as "lonesome latter years" and "mutter and mumble low" generally serves to emphasize the gloomy mood of the poem while adding to the lyrical effect.

On 10 May, a group of learners from The Skills Company's Salford Training Centre teamed up with id verde to complete conservation work as part of The Peel Park Renovation Project in Salford.
The Peel Park Site is a historic park dating back to 1846, when it was opened as one of three public parks in the city. The park is currently undergoing a £1.6m renovation programme which includes building a modern play area, new drainage, reconditioning and additional steps, ramps, landing platforms and footways which all lead to the central events area, whilst being embraced with new trees, shrub planting and wild flower meadows.
The learners were responsible for working on the Plantation Project to prepare and plant seasonal meadow in the park. Tasks included digging over beds with shovels, raking and preparing seed beds using landscape and spring-tyne rakes and hand broadcasting seed. On reflection of their experience on the project one learner stated:
"I gained knowledge of health and safety in the work place and learnt valuable experience of working in a team. I also developed my personal skills working on my own, improving my communication skills in a team, and following instructions and procedures. I also loved helping the community in improving the local park."
The project manager of id verde commented on how well the learners worked together and what a difference they'd made in such a short space of time. He was extremely pleased with their efforts in hot conditions. Id verde are hoping to continue their work with The Skills Company over the next few months, not only in Salford but also funding them to assist with other projects in London. They have also kindly offered work placements and apprenticeship opportunities.

11 Jan This is what 2018 has in store for the Toronto real estate market.
Original article via BuzzBuzzHome. Click here to read.
2017 was a year of rocketing highs and plunging lows for the Toronto real estate market. The new year promises to be a bit more balanced — but for how long?
"I think we're going to see a perception problem in the market, at least for the first few months of the year," Bullpen Research & Consulting president Ben Myers tells BuzzBuzzNews. "This time last year we were in a bubble — prices were in the $900,000s. We're going to see comparisons year-over-year that are going to look really terrible, and people will think the market is tanking."
Which it won't be, according to Myers, though it will cool somewhat in the first few months of the year as the market adjusts to new mortgage rules.

Each semester I give my undergrad communication law students a writing prompt about the burden of proof. I explain the concept of a preponderance of the evidence then ask them to develop analogies to show that something is greater than something else.
Here are some of the most entertaining of the responses:
• "Like rain boots on a sunny day, their evidence is irrelevant."
• "The evidence he has presented is like a hippo on a tight rope. It is fun to watch but is not going to hold up for very long."
• "Their proof and evidence is the quality of Jose Cuervo. My client's proof and evidence is the quality of Patron."
• "If you were to compare my argument with theirs, it would be like strong coffee versus watered down grounds."
• "My evidence is as heavy as a fat kid on Thanksgiving, while your evidence is like a model during Fashion Week."
• "We have just enough people to fit the maximum occupancy in an elevator. The other side has one lonely person."
• "Their evidence is a slow clap. Mine is a standing ovation."
• "The ball was just an inch out of bounds. Even if its just an inch, the ball still goes to the other team."
• "It's like being 30 seconds late to class. You're almost on time, but you're still late."
• "Like a catapult, all the evidence we have presented has launched the defendant's case out of here."
• "When you weigh the evidence of my case and their case, there's no competition. Their case is so constrained its like they're in the sandbox and I'm at Zuma Beach."
• "My evidence is Cinderella's shoe—a perfect fit."
• "My response is like Charmin toilet paper and theirs is the generic stuff you have to use at the gas station."

I am a teenager. A while back my doctor told me I had low blood sugar, and I had an 'episode' at work yesterday. I was supposed to work 11 am to 3 pm in a grocery stores pharmacy. Around 12 noon my mother, who also works at the store, came over to me just after I served a customer. She asked me what I would like for lunch, and I told her nothing because I wasn't feeling well (dizzy, light headed), I My mom felt my head and said I was a bit warm. I turned to walk away but turned back and my mom asked if I was feeling sick to my stomach. I said yes and then told her I felt I was going to be sick. As I left the pharmacy to go upstairs, but my mom grabbed a bucket and took me to the back of the pharmacy where there is a chair. As she was taking me back there I kept saying that my vision was blurry and I couldn't see. So she sat me down, and I had sweat beads all over my face. She and she felt my head again, and I had very sweaty and clammy skin. The pharmacist had been in an aisle helping a customer so he did not see it happen. After I calmed down, people we're trying to give me sugar. I went home at 12 noon and slept for a bit. After sleeping, I felt perfectly fine, a bit weak, but a lot better.
I then researched all about hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia on the Internet, and I found that there are 19 symptoms in total for those two things, and I have 12 of the symptoms. I found that there are seven symptoms of hyperglycemia and I have four, which are blurred vision (when standing up quickly), dry itchy skin, headaches, and I usually drink a lot. Also, my mom claims I urinate more than the average person(seven to eight times day; two just in the last hour!) In researching hypoglycemia, I found that there were 12 symptoms, and I had at the time of my incident at work when my blood level dropped too low (sweatiness, nausea, blurred vision, irritability, passing out, clammy skin, rapid heart beat, enlarged pupils), and also I felt a bit weak after waking up after a few hours.
After drinking 500 ml of Powerade (kind of like a thirst quencher drink) and 500 ml of pop, and cinnamon buns, I went over to my friend's house. He has diabetes and he tested my blood, which was 6.0 mmol/L [108 mg/dl] (completely normal). So now everyone including my aunt whom is a nurse says I have hypoglycemia. If I have that, do I have to test my blood?
My friend who has diabetes said that carrying a 'pen' with pure sugar in it would be a good idea because I've had more than just that one time of that 'incident', but it wasn't as severe. He says that if that had happened, and I fainted and could not help myself that someone could give me the pen shot therefore keeping me from slipping into a coma. I am visiting my doctor today, and I hope I am just fine! Please give me your thoughts on this.
You are correct to visit your doctor, and I hope that you are reassured.

Hi Hammerklavier,I've only listened to the first sonata just now (I'll listen to the others also). I can hear the Beethoven as you say but at this stage, that's not a bad thing. Do you intend to edit these pieces at some point, or are you moving on to other things? I say that because you mention that you're not happy with the modulation from c minor to the second subject because of the chord progression. If you did want to change it, using the circle of 5th can give you progressions that you might be happier with and the you can transpose the following theme, and then work backwards to return to the home key when you want.I like the piece, you have some nice ideas, but it does need that key change I think to spice it up a bit.Mark
It's interesting for me to see attempts by modern composers to write in classical or historical styles. Almost without exception it's always possible to tell that a piece is not "genuinely" from the era it purports to imitate, because composers lack one or all of: a) a natural sense of tonality, or a "feel" for harmony and modulation; b) difficulty with phrase rhythm and large-scale structural dimensions; c) difficulty writing melodies or ideas that sound genuinely classical.Not a criticism—I write music in the style of the past quite a lot, but it took years for me to learn those things (except the natural sense of tonality which I've always had) and I'm definitely still not perfect. Just an observation.
