We wade the river at dusk, all the while unaware
of the nocturnal stirrings happening all along the bottom (benthos)
of the river. Each night, a potpourri of macro invertebrates rises
into the water column and is carried en mass towards the foot
of their home pool. Drift,
unknown to aquatic biologists until recently, takes place in most
freestone rivers twice a night, once about one hour after darkness,
and again just before sun up. This behavior is believed to relate
to food gathering of plankton
and other small particulate food items, but it may also function
to relieve the stress induced by competition
due to overcrowding, as species mature and prepare for their fifteen
minutes of fame; their moment in the sun. By daybreak, they have
re-attached themselves to the bottom strata and have, incredible
as it seems, crawled or swam back into their daytime niches from
whence they came. Fish that feed on these invertebrates are attuned
to the drift and align themselves at the lowest end of each large
pool to gather in their effort-free meals. The largest fish of
the river come out at night and begin their systematic search
for food. Smaller fish now hide and try not to draw the attention
of larger fish, or they will not be there at sunrise.

I'm working on a map for a game with my kids in CC3 using the SS1 symbols and thought I'd share.
Comments appreciated.

I'm working on a map for a game with my kids in CC3 using the SS1 symbols and thought I'd share.
Comments appreciated.
I like the background you have set up and the overall layout of the map.
Some points of criticism/questions:
- The river splitting doesn't look really natural (but you have to wonder does it have to be?).
- I don't think you should have put any trees on the hills. In between and around is ok, but right on top of them looks weird.
- What's that brown line? It looks line another river or maybe a border...
- Did you chose not to put any effects on the trees? Like them dropping a shadow?
Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Gandwarf, Those are some good things for me to revisit.
The main river in the sw corner flows from nwto se and is joined by the smaller river running ne to sw. I'm not showing that well enough (the dreaded variable river width problem). The 'brown river' is meant to be a trail, as I'm not a fan of dotted lines but I guess I see the issue without them.
Great job on the CD3 maps by the way, that inspired me to pick up copy and I'll be playing more with it in this month's challenge after I get this one done enough to support my son's first game.
Thanks for the praise on the CD3 maps, good to hear I'm inspiring people to pick up copies of Campaign Cartographer:P
A lil texture might help that trail or some sort of pattern overlay but once I saw that one sharp bend on the side of a hill I had assumed it to be a trail so maybe that's just me. Otherwise it's a solid base and am looking forward to this proceed.
This is quite a bit of fun to do, thank you for the great feedback. Here is tonight's version. I expect to finish the middle part (so we can play) tomorrow night and then it will slow down as I move to game prep for awhile.
The latest version is at the thread tip.
Not being a CC user, I was wondering if its possible to put textures (similar to a pattern overlay in photshop) on the various 'sheets' -is that the correct term?
I like the map, but I think the grass areas with a bit of texture would really make this 'pop'.
I'm a little confused - the dark green and lighter green designate forest by your key, but you also show it in different areas with a symbol? That would be better if it were made consistent throughout.
Also - you have desert in the middle of a forest? That seems a little odd. Otherwise, good work so far.
Tip updated.
The white band just looks good to me, but it does suggest desert. I'll have to find a light green that does makes the map pop like the white does for me.
Fiddling with trails and layers and trees. One of the things I like about CC3 is the feeling of building a miniature which I don't always get from PS etc.
It needs more fiddling, and yet the middle is ready for the game. I want to expose the map slowly as it is explored by the players. I'm looking forward to this, and I appreciate all the help I've received from the cartogensia.
This is a palantine barony, cut off from the mother kingdom by <insert calamity>. I'll need another run of villages and such.
I like your forest a lot now, the trails are also better (they don't look like polluted rivers anymore). Your map is definitely improving.
What I don't understand is that the symbols (for example the villages) look like they have been done in only 16 colors or something. It looks more like CC2 than CC3?

Learning from the Region 17 Teacher of the Year is a treat for the students in Linda Wickersham's English class. But for Linda Wickersham, the honor is a taste of heaven.
"I was just so touched and overwhelmed and just you know to be chosen to represent region 17 was a really important thing. It meant a lot to me, means a lot to me," says Wickersham, the Chairman of the English Department at Lubbock High.
Of course the best way to celebrate an accomplishment is with a truck full of Blue Bell Ice Cream and the Lubbock High student body.
"How cool is that that. They've taken it upon themselves to go out into the community and do that," says Wickersham.
Before the ice cream and the honors though, Wickersham's English students already had the privilege of learning from a published author.
"It came out in June. It's been a wonderful experience, I've had several book signings just such great feedback," says Wickersham.
The experience that has come with writing her first novel, The Weaving of a Woman, has brought another element of teaching into Wickersham's classroom.
"I love being able to talk to my students about writing and say to them this is what happened to me and maybe this can help you," says Wickersham.
Even with all of her sugar-coated success, Wickersham has no plans to leave teaching.
"I think there's no way I would quit teaching. I love it to much, I love the kids to much. I look forward to spending my day with them. You know they're just a great joy in my life," says Wickersham.
Wickersham is now a finalist for Texas Teacher of the Year, which will be announced on October 4. Be sure to watch Newschannel 11 to find out which teacher receives the honor. Also if you would like to purchase Wickersham's book, click here.

Microsoft recently released a security update for Internet Explorer in response to Security Advisory 2757760.
Scammers will often use news items (especially those relating to computer security) to try to trick you into downloading malicious software or to steal your personal information. Scammers claiming to be from Microsoft might also contact you by phone and offer to help fix your computer.
Neither Microsoft nor our partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as cold calls) to charge you for computer security or software fixes. For more information, see Avoid tech support phone scams.
If you receive a phone call about the recent Internet Explorer update or about another technical support issue, hang up.

By phone an east Indian voice phone call came through on a phone number simply recorded and listed as 3010 on Call Display. After the phone rang and a little time delay, the caller told me he was from Windows and that I had malware on my computer and he would show me how to clean it up. I told him my computer was fine but he proceeded to try to convince me otherwise. I hung up. This 3010 number has been calling us before at least twice this month.
Please get a hold of me, i need help with retrieving inform. i had on my old email address, it has been hacked and had to get new email address. please get back with me, so dumb on all this, dont know what to do. PLEASE!!!!!NEW EMAIL ADDRESS,
Hi I have a guy phoning me at the moment claiming he works for microsoft telling me i have errors on my computer and that i need to get it sorted or my computer will crash He told me to hold down the microsoft key and the letter r key at the same time and a box appears and then i had to type in eventvwr and a list of errors came up. He was looking for £120.00 to fix the problem and he said i would have no more problems. My No is 007802 454227 if u would like to contact me.
Hello, I have MSE installed, updated and just ran a scan earlier today. So why do I have a message that keeps popping up saying that my virus protection is turned off and my laptop is at risk? If the message is right, how do I turn on the virus protection? I can't seem to find the way to do this. My laptop runs XP. Thanks.
I have recently received 2 calls from people I can barely understand telling me that Microsoft has received numerous error messages from my computer. I have asked for their phone numbers so I can call them back and both numbers they give me do not work. Is this also an issue or do you call if you are receiving error messages?
Thanks so much
I have the same problem as reported by Peter on 1st Oct 2012. The Windows Security Alert tell me that I have no protection at every start up. Indeed the virus protection is turned off in Windows Securtity Center but at the same time MS Security Essentials tells me I am protected and up to date. Why has this started to happen after several years of using Essentials? Should I turn on the virus protction in Windows security? Am I really protected?
My laptop has been acting up, I'm a complete novice and not sure where things like E;\file is (no luck with backing up files) and also complete fade-outs of programmes or frozen screen. I ran a Malwarebytes check and it found 47 infections, quarantined, most were from Mywebsearch and Adware. I have Deleted them all but would I be better deleting Mywebsearch and Adware altogether from my computer? Don't know where they are on my programmes.
Received a scam call from a "John Martine" claiming to be from Microsoft Tech Support, saying he was receiving messages from my computer, and that malicious viruses had been downloaded. He wanted me to open the computer and follow his instructions. I asked for a call back number which was 718-618-4749. He said they were located in Brooklyn, NY. A reverse lookup showed as a telemarketer with many complaints. They are using the Microsoft name to get into your computer.
i just received a phone call and let them into my computer since they could give me my operating system id#. I didn't give them any money for security defense, but realized to late it was a scam. I don't know what I should do now.
I have the same problem as Peter and CW. The Windows Security Alert tells me I have no secuity protection. Indeed the virus protection is turned off in the Windows Security Center but at the same time Microsoft Security Essentials shows that I am protected and up to date. How do I turn it on? Am I really protected? My provider seems to think that my computer is infected. Am I?
Sad to say I knew nothing about this and let them access my laptop. I am currently scanning my pc with safety scanner and malicious software removal tools as stated on this site. I'm a little upset that this hasn't been actually emailed to all users, surely there is a way. I've worked in aIT and know that call centres are often baed in InDia, I have a lot going on at the mo so fell for it and boy do I know it. However, I've also had stuff saying my security software wasn't working so installed Kaspersky Pure but had to uninstall McAffee to do so, obviously in the 15mins downtime they gained access! I am so upset!
Just got off the phone with someone claiming that their server has been intercepting error messages that my computer has allegedly been trying to send to Microsoft whenever I try to get online for the past 25 days. This error message contains my computer license ID. He had my name, phone number and address and suggested that I verify what he's saying by finding out my computer license ID. He told me to go to the run box and type in CMD.OK and that my id would show in the black box. I didn't do this and got his number and the name of his company. Neither show up on a google search. Before hanging up, he said that he's trying to warn me that someone's been trying to hack into my computer via my internet connection and don't blame him if something happens to my computer. Any thoughts?
I've had the same problem as Peter and CW re: virus protection 'off' for now reason. Have you had any responses?
WHAT about the "Up-dates" for ADOBE Flash-Player 11. something ? I've had several "request's ?? Thanks

Im half and half excited for my holy priest, on one hand im just itching to get my hands into some new heroic content, i was a priest healer all through BC, and loved that i was one of the few healers that actually liked doing Heroic Shattered halls and black heart the inciter ( which let me get groups ridiculously fast). and all the heroic cata vids i've seen have had holy priests in there, and watching them run around with their chakras all a glowin' makes me super pumped! but then i see raid video, and im back to trying to decide if i should drop off my holy squishy girl for my new holy pally :(

The High Court ruling in the case of Watts v Bedford Primary Care Trust carries important implications for the Government, the health service and patients. The case was brought by Yvonne Watts, who needed a hip replacement and sought prior authorisation from Bedford Primary Care Trust (PCT) for treatment in Belgium, where surgery was expected to take place within two weeks. The PCT refused, believing the treatment required was routine and that there would be no 'undue delay', based on NHS Plan target times for in-patient access of 12 months. Watts' case was re-evaluated in the UK in January 2003, and her deteriorating condition meant she was recategorised and could expect treatment in April or May. However, by this point, she had consulted a surgeon in France and arranged an operation for early March. She went ahead with this surgery and then sought to recover the cost, serving judicial review proceedings on both the PCT and the Secretary of State for Health.
Ruling on the case, Mr Justice Munby refused Watts' application for reimbursement. In doing so, however, he rejected the Department of Health's interpretation of certain key elements of European law, on which it had mounted its defence, and made some important rulings affecting current health service practices.
The case turned particularly on Article 49 of the European Community (EC) Treaty, which is binding under UK law. The Department of Health argued that Article 49 - which prohibits member states from establishing barriers restricting the freedom to provide services within the EC - does not apply to health services. The judge ruled that it does and any requirement for 'prior authorisation' might therefore be deemed an illegal barrier.
The judge did qualify this by saying that a 'prior authorisation' regime might be justifiable if there is sufficient reason for it - for example the need to guarantee a financially stable NHS and to plan services - and if the authorisation process observes the normal principles of public law - accessible, proportionate, objective, impartial and the criteria are known in advance. This qualification gives the Government and PCTs a continuing right to vet applications for NHS-funded treatment in other EU countries, but they need to demonstrate that they employ a transparent, objective process in doing so. The Department of Health has particular cause for concern. The judge criticised the prior authorisation process it sets out on accessibility grounds and the "unfortunately unhelpful and somewhat opaque terms" in which it provides guidance to PCTs. The department did highlight that it has already begun a review of its guidance, but the ruling may lead it to conduct this with renewed vigour.
In another part of his ruling, the judge confirmed that prior authorisation can be withheld if treatment is deemed unnecessary by appropriate professionals or if it can be provided "without undue delay" in the UK. The issue of "undue delay" is key. Bedford PCT had pointed to "normal" waiting time targets as justification for its refusal, but Judge Munby ruled that waiting time targets should be only one factor in the decision - the patient's condition and suffering were among the others that should be considered. So what constitutes 'undue delay' must be decided in relation to the facts of the individual case. In Watts' case, however, the facts suggested that once her condition had deteriorated and it had been recategorised, a delay of two to three months would not have been undue and her claim for repayment failed.
The ruling in Watts v Bedford PCT is consistent with European law and recent trends in it. It will undoubtedly lead the Department of Health and PCTs to evaluate the implications for current policies and practices. For patients, it means that the need to apply for prior authorisation still applies, but their cases will need to be examined and decisions made on the basis of all relevant circumstances. The court may not have reimbursed Watts, but its ruling could lead to a sea change in the way requests for authorisation are handled in future.

To save children, Hopkins turns up the
heat on Maryland's energy policy
One morning in December 2003, David Nichols arrived in the pediatric
intensive care unit to find the team assembled at the bedside
of a an 11-year-old boy. He had been burned so severely that although
he was African American, he appeared to be white. His body was
bloated to two or three times its normal size, his face so swollen
that the PICU team, unable to get a breathing tube into his mouth,
was performing an emergency tracheotomy.
The next day the boy died, as did his younger brother. Both had
been trapped in a burning row house. Their power had been shut
off, and the family had resorted to lighting the home with candles.

It has been a matter of Internet uproar all day Monday that Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones alleges that a banana was thrown at him by a fan during Sunday's Orioles-Giants game at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Jones took to Twitter to vent about the racist act, and the San Francisco Giants organization offered a formal apology while insisting on a full investigation. The Giants said in a statement that "We have been investigating the matter since we learned of the situation, unfortunately we have been unable to identify the person responsible."
The person responsible has been found. In fact, the person responsible stepped forward himself. He phoned the San Jose Mercury News to turn himself in, claiming he had no idea the banana would fly at Jones and did not mean to throw the banana as an act of racism.
The Giants fan who threw the banana at Adam Jones has identified himself as Alexander Poulides, 42, of Northern California. Mr. Poulides claims he was just pissed that Giants pitcher Barry Zito had given up a three-run homer to Jones, and simply grabbed the nearest available object to hurl at the field (in this case, a banana from an AT&T Park catering cart). He insists he did not intend to target Jones or anyone with the banana.
When Poulides arrived home, he saw the incident being covered on the news after Jones' Twitter outburst at having a banana thrown his way. "Oh, my god,'' Poulides claims he said to himself. "I threw a banana on my way out."
Mr. Poulides says he was not racially motivated to throw the banana. Personally, I have never seen banana-throwing at a U.S. sports event in my life (it did happen in 2011). But it is an ugly recurrence in the English Premier League and European soccer that fans will often taunt black players by throwing bananas at them. The photo at left was taken in 2010 and the EPL has had banana-throwing incidents as recently as last August.
That said, I tend to believe the guy who threw the banana at Adam Jones. Most Americans are probably not familiar with banana tossing as a racist taunting meme, and fellow did immediately identify himself as the perpetrator. Do we believe a guy who threw a banana and claims it wasn't racist? Sound off in the comments, or whatever Internet medium you use to complain at someone once you've found out their real name.

That's great, but where do you draw the line? That's my point. How many meetings about meetings can you have before nothing's really getting done? The current setup automated the process enough that they could cut out a lot of the "meetings about meetings".
It wasn't enough. To me, it seems like the forum community at large (emphasis on the "forum" part) has gotten to the point where it's no longer comfortable getting insights when possible. The community wants to drive from the passenger seat. It wants to micromanage. Seriously, your suggestion runs along the lines of requesting an oversight committee.

People commit identity theft for a few different reasons. Money, sure. Flat screen tv or a new ipod, absolutely. Boob job, not so much.
Yvonne Pampellone, 30 (sure she is), allegedly stole someone's identity and charged $12K in liposuction and breast enhancements from The Pacific Center For Plastic Surgery in Huntington Beach.
Wow. There's some freaky psychology right there. Wonder what the inside of her head's like. Think about that for a second. She stole an identity to be somebody else so that she could get surgery to be somebody else. Her therapist might want to brush up on his Escher.
And who'd she get the work done for? Her boyfriend? Herself? Her desperate desire to be wanted and loved and my god won't a new body fix all of that, daddy, please?
I have mixed views about plastic surgery. On the one hand I get the desire to match an ideal. Lots of pressure there for men and women. Big boobs (side note: I accidentally typed "books" there at first - tells you where my mind's at - The hell is wrong with me?), flat stomach, pecs, ass, whatever. We all want to look good. We all want to get some. We all want to be loved. Everyone has the right to do whatever the fuck they want with their bodies.
On the other hand you're paying someone to slice into you, suck shit out, fold shit around and sew it all back together again. Surgery. Like knock you out you might not wake up again type stuff.
And on the third hand (Trust me, I got a lot of hands) I've got a tattoo. I'm planning on getting more. And on the fourth hand... well, I could go on all day.
So, yeah, when it comes to identity issues, I'm a fucking poster child. Like that's news. Really, you have no idea.
Good luck, Yvonne. Between the 12K in medical bills, the 20K in bail money, the god knows how much for your lawyer and therapists, I think you're going to need it.

Minimal Geometries and Other Concerns
Academic journal article
By Amor, Monica
Art Journal , Vol. 64, No. 3 , Fall 2005
Article excerpt
Minimal Geometries and Other Concerns Lynn Zelevansky, ed. Beyond Geometry: Experiments in Form, 1940s-70s. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2004. 240 pp., 130 color ills, 102 b/w. $49.95.
Ann Goldstein and Lisa Mark, eds. A Minimal Future? Art as Object 1958-1968. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2004. 452 pp., 157 color ills, 213 b/w. $50.
Frank Stella was not alone in considering a relationship between Minimalism and Geometric Abstraction blasphemous; the idea remained taboo in North American academia for years. In Europe, however, the tone has been different. German art historian Willy Rotzler, for example, found it logical to finish his book Constructive Concepts (1977) with a chapter on Minimalism, while, more recently the French exhibition Art Concret (2000), included works by reputable Minimalists such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, and Dan Flavin. But we should remember that in the United States, George Rickey included works by Andre and Stella in his largely forgotten book Constructivism: Origins and Evolution, published in 1967, at a moment when, despite Stella's and Judd's dismissal of parallel experiments with the reductivist shapes of geometry and noncompositionality in Europe, the new American sculpture largely consisted of a diversity of approaches and experiments with the legacy of Geometric Abstraction and Constructivism.
The impure and repressed liaisons suggested above are explored by the two revisionist publications that concern me here. Both are catalogues accompanying major exhibitions of Minimalism and Geometric Abstraction in the postwar period. The first, edited by Ann Goldstein, a curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, in collaboration with Lisa Mark, the museum's director of publications, acknowledges the hybridity of proposals generated in the United States by morphological and conceptual strategies such as the use of industrial materials, geometric shapes, environmental scale and seriality. The second, edited by Lynn Zelevansky, a curator of modern and contemporary art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, places these morphological and conceptual tendencies in relation to the analogous experiments with geometric abstraction that took place in Europe and South America. Indeed, the relevant connections between Minimalism and Art Concret repudiated by Stella and Judd are sketched by Zelevansky in her introductory essay to Beyond Geometry. But Zelevansky's project is not so much to dwell on specific parallel strategies and operations (assimilated, contested, or displaced), but rather to foreground the internationalism of systemic structures and simplified morphologies. She does this by looking at the intercontinental triad François Morcllct (Paris), Hélio Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro), and Mel Bochner (NewYork), whose works trigger an insightful introduction to the catalogue. Nevertheless, Zelevansky's text leaves unanswered the question of how related conceptual and morphological structures can develop in different locales, independent of proven chains of influence and communication-a key point to the exhibition and catalogue, which calls attention to the global simultaneity of artistic processes and aesthetic strategies. Moreover, despite her innovative threefold approach, Zelevansky does not attempt to develop a comparative model of analysis. Instead she limits herself to sketching certain common points of reference, such as the centrality of the viewer to the work in question.
Inès Katzenstein continues this internationalist model in "Reality Rush: Shifts of Form, 1965-1968," an essay that explores one of the major themes in both Beyond Geometry and in A Minimalist Future?: the relationship between a renewed interest in geometric abstraction and the conceptual strategies of the period. Katzenstein maps an intercontinental "crossroad" through the work of Daniel Buren (Paris), David Lamelas (Buenos Aires), Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro), and Robert Smithson (New York)-all artists whose early work explored the limits, possibilities, elasticity, and alternatives to the simplified geometries of modernity. …

Oh great. We're beating up on comics again.No, we're beating up on stupidity. And that never gets old!
A word to the domestic American comics industry: She doesn't belong to you. Perhaps she might have, long ago, but her attentions are directed elsewhere now. She doesn't want you. Denying her existence won't help. Plying her with ludicrous stories that were clichés decades ago won't, either. Stomping your feet and reassuring yourself that she'll be back just as soon as this fickle whim vanishes from her mind is delusional thinking on your part -- and to everyone watching you, clear evidence as to why she spurned your advances. The current object of her affections treats her the way she'd like to be treated, and it's been a long time since anyone could say that about you. You don't register at all. You're not even a ghost; so far as she's concerned, you don't exist. Frankly, I'm surprised that it's taken you this long to figure it out.Why is there this insistence by male geeks that they must find the one mainstream comic or video game that will convince a female significant other to join in with enthusiasm? Shared hobbies are nice, but I don't see this mass movement by geeks to take up scrapbooking or crochet.

aerosol and cloud optical depth cause a reduction of solar radiation at the surface. For the surface energy balance to reach a new equilibrium state, the latent and sensible fluxes have to adjust. Because evaporation has to equal precipitation on the global scale, a reduction in the latent heat flux leads to a reduction in precipitation. As shown in model simulations by Liepert et al. (2004), despite an increase in greenhouse gases, increases in optical depth due to the direct and indirect anthropogenic aerosol effects can cause a reduction in evaporation and precipitation. This mechanism is consistent with observations of decreased evaporation from open pans of water over the last 50 years. Roderick and Farquhar (2002) characterized steadily decreasing pan evaporation due to decreases in solar irradiance resulting from increasing cloud coverage and aerosol concentration. Increasing aerosol optical depth associated with scattering aerosols alone in otherwise clear skies has been shown to produce a larger fraction of diffuse radiation at the surface, which results in greater carbon assimilation into vegetation (and therefore greater transpiration) without a substantial reduction in the total surface solar radiation (Niyogi et al., 2004).
Land-use changes include irrigation, urbanization, deforestation, desertification, reforestation, grazing of domestic animals, and dryland farming. Each of these alterations in landscape produces significant changes in radiative forcing (e.g., Pitman, 2003; Kabat et al., 2004). Global maps of land-cover changes over the past 300 years are shown in Figure 2-3. In addition, changes in tropical forests have been reported by O'Brien (2001). There are historical land use datasets (e.g., Ramankutty and Foley, 1999) as well as satellite-based land-cover datasets. Satellite products include the DISCover dataset developed under the auspices of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (Loveland et al., 2000) and land-cover datasets based on MODIS/Terra data (Strahler et al., 1999).

Consumer Reports Says Honda Accord Hybrid Fails 47 MPG Label
(Updates with closing ADR price in final paragraph.)
May 29 (Bloomberg) -- Honda Motor Co.'s gasoline-electric Accord is the most fuel-efficient U.S. mid-size sedan yet doesn't get its window sticker average, Consumer Reports found, making it the latest hybrid to fail the magazine's road tests.
The 2014 Accord Hybrid, priced from $29,155, averaged 40 miles (64 kilometers) per gallon of gasoline in combined city and highway driving, Consumer Reports said today in a statement. That may disappoint buyers expecting the car to achieve its Environmental Protection Agency city/highway window sticker rating of 47 mpg, the magazine said. Such labels are intended to show the actual fuel economy for new cars and trucks.
"We've found that the EPA tests often exaggerate the fuel economy of hybrids," said Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports. The magazine also said Honda's hybrid scored lower than the four-cylinder engine gasoline version due to ride comfort, emergency handling and cabin noise issues.
The lackluster review comes after Consumer Reports found a significant shortfall in the fuel economy of Ford Motor Co.'s Fusion and C-Max hybrids in 2012. While the Yonkers, New York- based magazine and other reviewers say EPA tests don't accurately reflect real-world driving conditions, particularly after Ford, Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. restated fuel ratings for some models, the agency hasn't revised its methods.
"We're very happy to see that in Consumer Reports' testing, they confirmed that its 40 mpg average ranks it as the most fuel-efficient four-door mid-size sedan that they've measured in at least the last 10 years," Chris Martin, a Honda spokesman, said today. "Actual Accord Hybrid owners have reported even better mileage in their real world experiences."
Accord Hybrid owners are getting an average of 42.4 mpg, according to the U.S. government's fueleconomy.gov website, where drivers can log their mileage.
U.S. sales operations for Tokyo-based Honda are in Torrance, California. The company's American depositary receipts rose 0.8 percent to $34.87 at the close in New York. They've declined 16 percent this year.

On Saturday February 9, parents, staff, students and volunteers of UALR CI participated in an anger management workshop facilitated by The Arkansas Community Dispute Resolution Centers, Inc. (ACDRC). Participants were provided detailed information about community-based conflict resolution and peer mediation in an effort to more effectively serve our youth.
The highly interactive workshop featured role-plays simulating situations aimed at enhancing skills needed to effectively manage anger and resolve conflict. Parents, staff, students and volunteers also had the opportunity to assess their current conflict resolution styles and learned more creative ways to listen, probe and infer more persuasively.
"Youth typically resolve their disputes through aggressive verbal behavior and violent actions," said Angelia Tolbert, the center's Executive Director. "The goal of conflict resolution is to diffuse anger and resolve conflict more effectively". Tolbert is dedicated to assisting Arkansas' youth and those that work with them, in learning more about appropriate methods to resolve conflict.
Topics ranged from Conflict Management and Cooperative Problem Solving as well as Respect Activities and the proper responses for conflict. Participants learned how open-ended questions and respectively listening allows opportunities to learn root causes of emotional triggers for youth. When everyone works together to create a family environment of mutual respect, it provides a safe place for the youth to blossom, especially in programs that are more culturally diverse. The results can even be seen at home as some parents have reported positive changes in their children.
ACDRC teaches skills students can use to achieve personal goals, think independently and critically, to support positive outcomes, to promote safe environments and to foster greater productivity in their homes, schools and communities. There are more than 550 community dispute resolution centers across the United States.

Go with the Flow
An OB/GYN tells us all we need to know about our monthly visit from Aunt Flo.
Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz: Periods ... most of us have them, but how much do we really know about them? Today, I appear on "The Tyra Banks Show" to discuss this very topic.
Here are some things every woman should know about "that time of the month."
• Almost one third of all women experience "distressing-to-disabling" symptoms prior to the onset of their menses each month.
• PMS and menstruation are NOT diseases! But the extreme symptoms "represent imbalances in a normal and natural hormonal tide, which, when ignored, lead to greater imbalances," according to Dr. David Simon of the Chopra Center.
Here are some tips to make menstruation and PMS more tolerable, and some opportunities to rebalance:
• Stay hydrated: Coconut water is an excellent source of electrolytes (better and lower calorie than sports drinks!). Of course, water will do, too.
• Castor oil hot packs: Soak a cloth you don't care about in three tablespoons of castor oil and put it directly on your belly. Cover that with an old-fashioned hot water bottle or heating pad to reduce cramping. Be sure to sit or recline on an old towel or sheet to eliminate the risk of staining or soaking the bed or couch you lounge on.
• If you know your cycle really well, take a "prophylactic" dose of nsaids (nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs found in ibuprofen, etc.) just prior to onset of menses to reduce cramps and discomfort.
• Make a tea of coriander, fennel, and cumin seeds to help with bloating and swelling. Other natural diuretics include parsley, cilantro, and lemongrass! Yum!
• Take a deep breath of high-quality rose, lavender, or any other flower essential oil you like to cool and calm your irritable brain -- it may diminish the risk of emotional blow-out at the time of PMS and, if you wear it, the bonus is that people who smell (and deal with) you may respond more charitably to your mood swings.
• Flax seeds have an anti-inflammatory effect when used long-term and may diminish cramps if used on a regular basis. They also are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber and promote bowel health.
• Moderate aerobic exercise lifts the mood and gets the blood flowing. This may reduce cramps, bloating, and other unpleasant menstrual symptoms. Try a moderately paced 20- to 30-minute walk, even if you feel like slumming it on your couch with a bag of potato chips!
• Tired? Don't fight it! Get plenty of rest. Pushing yourself during your menses or difficult PMS days really does nothing for you -- that is, after you return from that short walk.
• Extremely heavy bleeding requiring tampon or pad changes (fully drenched) more than two per hour for more than two hours, shortness of breath, dizziness, or other serious symptoms and recurrent PMS symptoms that are unmanageable or disruptive to your ability to perform daily activities on a monthly basis -- causing you to routinely miss work, school, etc. -- require immediate medical attention.

Thank you sooo much for your information about periods, it was very helpful. I also watched the Tyra Show.
Hello, I was watching the Tyra Banks show and saw your website, so I thought I'd send you a message. I'm 17 years old, a very active person (gymnastics 5 days a week for 4 hours), and I haven't had my period for about two years now. Is there something wrong with me? I read that if this continues I might not be able to have kids in the future. Please tell me what's going on with my body.
Thank you,
I was wandering where I could watch the full episode of "Go With The Flow" from the Tyra Show on the internet. Any websites?
I have had my period for about 5 years and they are usally regular but I haven't had a period in abut 84 days? Should I schedule an ob/gyn appointment or wait longer. I know that I am not pregnant.
Samantha, Over exercise and low body fat can be associated with hormonal changes such as this. Essentially- if there are not enough fatty precursors to make steroid hormones, a girl may not ovulate and have a normal menstrual cycle. This is more commonly encountered among girls who are athletes, dancers or have trouble keeping weight on whether from disordered eating or not. It is very important to a) see a doctor who may want to do blood work, physical assessment and ultrasound and make sure there is nothing else going on to cause the lack of periods and b) not panic about future fertility, but take it seriously now! Hope that helps.
There are so many reasons a period may stop temporarily — travel, weight loss, stress, increase in exercise, new meds. Many are transient and not serious, but without an evaluation, it's impossible to know for sure that it is not due to a thyroid or other hormone problem, a cyst, etc.
Schedule an appointment — I bet that causes a period to come!
hi just wanted to ask a question or two. i have had my tubes tied for nine years and my periods are very heavy and some times i miss one. i can not seem to loose the weight i have gained from getting my tubes tied. i have mood swings all the time and no energy. plus i can not sleep. do i need to be on any hormone pills? i am a mother of four and just turned 33. can u help or give me some advice on what to do?
Fine site. Great post, looking forward to your feed updates…
Just like the old saying goes, within the pro's thoughts there are few options, however for a person possessing a novice's brain, the entire world is open.
It was definitely an excellent and insightful post. On the other hand I'm just having difficulty getting this web site to show correctly with my chrome web browser, any kind of suggestion what exactly could possibly be wrong?
Very helpful site. Thanks so much, I absolutely enjoy reading your post.
Hello I just now came across your site from bing and I just simply wanted to point out that this was a wonderful article this was! But nevertheless, I am trying to add your current RSS feed but I am just experiencing difficulty finding it.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
Hi,I love reading through your blog, I sought after to leave a little bit remark to reinforce you and need you a just right continuation. Wishing you the best of luck for your whole running a blog efforts.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Fine info. I appreciate your effort, very well written article.
If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

I have gotten this to work!!
The problem I was having was with inrush current; incandescent light bulbs have an initial inrush current around 10x the normal operating current during the heating of the elements. Even though my transistors were rated well over the operating current of around 6A, they were reaching avalanche breakdown during the current inrush.
My first and most primitive solution to this problem was to install a simple toggle switch, allowing the lights to start from line power, and then be switched to power through transistor after the bulbs were heated. The result: Success! The problem: in this circuit the lights cannot be dimmed to 0% without completely resetting the switches and starting the process over.
The next solution is to insert a 1ohm NTC thermistor in the line before my transistor, the thermistor caps the current inrush at 9A, well below the 18A capacity of my transistors. This would allow the circuit to run without any further tampering or startup procedures. I'll be testing soon to confirm.
A note on using PWM with incandescent lights:
Incandescent lights work exceptionally well with PWM by way of MOSFET transistor. With a 200V 18A transistor I was able to control a 150w halogen light without any other components. The bulbs dim very smoothly, and with a great deal of control available. The only limitation on current seems to depend on the current limitation of the NTC thermistor; 9A has been the highest current I can find one rated for. I have researched many different approaches for dimming high voltage high current lights, and this looks far easier and cheaper than anything else I have come across. The circuit should cost no more than $5 with heat sync included. I decided to make my own heat syncs out of 18ga copper sheet, and was able to keep the temperature of the transistors below 80degF with cooling fan, and approx. 110degF without.
Also, I was able to control these lights up to 6A without a resistor or buffer transistor on the gate supply, however I think I will be including both in future tests.
Hope this is of use to someone, hopefully I haven't missed any crucial details
Happy building!

By Alina Machado (WSB)- Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick received a warm reception at the Victory for The World Church, where he stopped by to encourage teens to make the right choices and avoid having to get second chances.
"Every decision counts, it's very important to think before you speak, think before you act and kind of depend on the people who really believe in you."
Vick was invited by Team Freedom Outreach, a program that works with teens in youth detention centers.
The appearance comes days after Vick canceled book signings in Atlanta and two other states.
He's been promoting his autobiography, "Finally Free."
Vick had this to say when asked about the threats and cancellations..
"That's a very selective few of people, very small, selective few people who still have their own form of hatred, but I think the most important thing for me to do is to continue to stay positive. Continue to do the right things because that's what's going to make a difference."
Vicks' message resonated with mother Natalie Harris, who brought her two boys to the event.
"I really appreciate him coming out today and just letting the kids know that even though you make mistakes in life, you can still bounce back and be successful."

Alleged drunk driver flees crash scene
A 49-year-old Kelowna woman faces alcohol related driving charges after allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident Friday evening.
RCMP say they were alerted to a hit and run on Springfield Road about 10:25 p.m. The woman indicated she had been rear-ended by a brown Chevy Cavalier and believed the driver was impaired.
"Police located the vehicle in the 1900 block of Parkinson Way and identified the driver to be a 49-year-old Kelowna woman," says Cst. Kris Clark.
"Investigators noticed symptoms of impairment and transported the woman to the detachment for further investigation. The woman refused to provide breath samples."
Clark adds police had dealt with the woman earlier in the evening on an unrelated matter. He wouldn't says what that matter was but indicated police were able to track her down based on that earlier incident.
The suspect faces potential charges of Impaired Driving and Fail or Refuse to Provide a Breath Sample.
She will appear in court April 28.

Is it a warning sign or is it a musical instrument? After hearing the first note (which hesitates for a moment at the beginning in the semitone range between B and B flat) you'd probably say "musical instrument" – it sounds so pretty, and the note is held so long. It doesn't say "Get out of my way" but "Here I am" with such charm that even the most hard-bitten pedestrian has no option but to dance gracefully to one side.
On top of this is the pleasure of having such a delightful piece of mechanical art – in brass and with a nice variety of features – to look at while you're riding your bike.

"The United States must cut spending in responsible ways. But make no mistake — higher revenues are integral to efforts to reduce the deficit. Revenues must rise above historic levels (a little over 18 percent of GDP for the past 40 years) if the United States is to address the nation's long-term fiscal problems."
