My research program has concentrated on understanding the impact of global economic restructuring on the ways people organize themselves and constitute their social identities. The research has taken place in Central and South America and also in urban areas in the United States. My aim is to use the results to formulate more humane solutions to social problems.
How did you get interested in this field?
My freshman year at Harvard I took a class called Seminar on Thought in which we read a series of articles and discussed them critically. Many of them were, in fact, classic pieces of anthropology. I just didn't know it because the professor didn't talk about it as a discipline, even though he was an anthropologist.
When I came back in my sophomore year I chose English as a major, but I was not very thrilled with my classes. That anthropology professor suggested I do fieldwork somewhere to see if I liked it. Harvard had something called the Chiapas Project, a long-term field project looking at the modern Mayan communities in Chiapas, Mexico. They took students down there to do ethnographic fieldwork every summer.
I was interested in going but I didn't speak Spanish, so I spent the summer in Mexico, living with a family and learning the language. While I was there, I did a project on folk songs. I fell in love with the idea of fieldwork and with Latin America, especially Mexico. It seemed very similar to what I remember of my own country, India.
The next summer I did fieldwork with the Chiapas Project and I became interested in anthropology as a discipline because it seemed to answer some questions that I had based on my experiences growing up as a foreign person in this country, questions about what it means to have a cultural identity.
Also at that time at Harvard there was a core group of junior faculty and graduate students who were thinking about how you use anthropology to address pressing issues. One issue they were looking at was the question of human rights for indigenous peoples. We were becoming aware that threats to their land were increasing, especially in South America and Central America. That combination of human rights for indigenous people and using anthropology to address some of those issues appealed to me.
What do you love about what you do?
I love that every time I do anthropological research, I become more and more amazed at how creative people are in so many different ways. To me that is so exciting, and it enriches my life.
Have you ever encountered any gender barriers in your career path?
It's a complicated issue. I was the oldest of three daughters in my family and my father was a very non-traditional Indian. He's a physicist, and he had kind of eschewed religion and Hindu traditions. He believed in the pursuit of intellectual ideals, knowledge and truth for their own sake.
And my mother also was a very non-traditional Indian. She had eschewed the role for middle-class women--marriage and family--and had gone off to seek higher education.
So both of them came from this background where their children were not going to follow traditional roles. I was always raised with the expectation that I should do whatever I wanted to do as long as it was in the pursuit of knowledge and truth. Anything less than that was not worthy of pursuit.
It was never in my tool kit to think I couldn't do something because I was a woman. Maybe there were times when there were barriers and I didn't perceive them because I just barreled straight ahead.
I resisted being channeled into doing certain kinds of research a lot of times women were told to do--like research on women. Similarly, a lot of the students of color were subtly or not so subtly pushed to do research on their own people. That's kind of a weird thing in anthropology.
I wanted to do research in Latin America--and you don't find too many Indian anthropologists doing that. I resisted being put into traditional categories and I think that helped my career.
What about the role of gender in science in general?
The interesting thing to me about gender is that it's complicated. It's not about the women-are-oppressed-and-men-aren't kind of thing. I don't think we really understand what gender's effect is in different cultures. It's only since the mid-1970s that anthropologists themselves began to pay attention.
Science can be looked at in a social context just like anything else. All science is a method of inquiry into phenomena. It's nothing more and nothing less than that.
Some people say that science was deeply patriarchal in its origins. I don't really know how they come to that conclusion because it seems to me that science is a method that enables anybody to look at the world in a particular kind of way and there's nothing male or female about it. There's nothing ethnic about it. It transcends those things.
The way it has been practiced has been exclusionary, yes. What that has resulted in is that the types of problems that scientists investigate and some of the experimental methods that they use are shaped by gendered perspectives. In a sense gender does matter in that people have different approaches based on their social experiences. Men raised in a certain way and women socialized in another way aren't going to think about problems in the same way.
It just stands to reason that the more you can get folks of diverse perspectives in there doing research, the better off you'll be. Anybody can use the scientific method-its design is not based on gender. There's no difference in how men and women do it.
What's maybe different is the type of research problem you choose to do because you have a different perspective. You may be asking different questions and that's great, because who wants to ask the same questions? We'll never get more insight that way.
It's when women entered anthropology and started asking different kinds of questions that we began to have a whole new paradigm for understanding social organization. Today, no anthropologist would not consider gender.

Charlotte, NC - Mike Thorne recorded his first career double-figure scoring game but the Charlotte 49ers (18-8, A-10: 6-6) lost to Temple (19-8, A-10: 8-5), 71-51, in Halton Arena.
"You have to give Temple credit they are a good team," Charlotte coach Alan Major said. "They got into an offensive rhythm early. We did not play to our character tonight. I am disappointed but not discouraged."
Thorne and Pierria Henry led the 49ers with 10 points apiece. Terrence Williams scored nine points off the bench for the 49ers. Scootie Randall led Temple with 18 points.
"I felt that Mike Thorne grew up before our eyes tonight," Major said "He played with a lot of energy."
The 49ers finished the game with a 28-24 advantage on points in the paint. The 49ers also finished the game with a 42-36 advantage on the boards. Darion Clark and Thorne finished the game with seven rebounds apiece. Chris Braswell grabbed six rebounds in the game.
The 49ers also went 16-for-19 from the free throw line. Denzel Ingram and Henry went 4-for-4 from the line.
Temple began the game on an 8-2 run over the first five minutes.
Then, the 49ers went on a 10-4 run over the next four minutes tying the score at 12 when Thorne connected on two free throws with 10:36 on the clock. Willie Clayton, Ingram and Braswell also scored during the run.
That would be as close as the 49ers would get as Temple's T.J. Dileo connected on a three giving Temple the lead for good just 27 seconds after Thorne's two free throws.
Temple outscored the 49ers 27-12 over the final 10 minutes of the half taking a 39-24 halftime lead.
Early in the second half with Temple leading 42-26, the 49ers went on an 8-0 run capped off by a Henry jumper in the lane cutting Temple's lead to 42-34 with 14:56 on the clock. Henry scored six of his 10 points during the run.
Temple's Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson ended the 49ers run with a jump shot with 14:42 on the clock. Charlotte's E. Victor Nickerson got the 49ers back to within eight points with a dunk off a Clayton steal with 13:32 left in the second half.
However, that would be as close as the 49ers would get as Temple pushed their lead back to double-figures after a Khalif Wyatt layup at the 13:10 mark. Charlotte would cut Temple's lead to nine points on two different occasions after Thorne baskets over the next four minutes.
With Temple leading 53-40 with 7:01 on the clock, Williams knocked down a three for the 49ers cutting Temple's lead to 53-43. Temple's Jake O'Brien answered Williams' three with a three pushing Temple's lead back to 13 points. The 49ers would not get any closer the rest of the game.
Charlotte concludes their two-game home stand when play Dayton in Halton Arena, Wednesday, February 27 at 7:30 pm.

Regulators Fine, Place Constraints on UBS
Less than a week after a former employee was convicted in a $2.3 billion trading fraud, UBS AG UBS 1.62 % was slapped with a nearly $50 million fine by British authorities, and Swiss regulators announced restrictive measures, including a ban on investment-banking acquisitions by the firm.
Britain's Financial Services Authority said Monday that it fined the Zurich-based bank £29.7 million ($47.6 million) over the 2011 rogue-trading incident. The fine, which ranks among the largest ever imposed by the U.K. regulator, had been expected.
Separately, Finma, 531082 -1.84 % the Swiss equivalent of the British banking regulator, unveiled a number of measures aimed at preventing UBS from suffering such a punishing failure in the future, including a prohibition on new business initiatives and a cap on risks that the division can take. Finma, which doesn't have the power to impose fines, will appoint a third party to supervise implementation of the measures and an audit firm to review whether they are effective.
The regulatory actions will enable UBS to largely put behind one of the most troubling episodes in its history, one which led to the resignation of its chief executive and likely hastened a drastic reshaping of the bank announced last month.
The sanctions stem from a $2.3 billion unauthorized trading loss UBS disclosed in September of last year caused by Kweku Adoboli, a trader on one of the equity desks at its large securities operation in London. The 32-year-old last week was convicted of two counts of fraud in a London court and sentenced to seven years, although he isn't expected to serve the entire sentence in prison. He was found not guilty on four counts of false accounting.
The two-month trial shed an uncomfortable light on a system of risk controls at UBS that gave a relatively inexperienced trader the leeway to rack up the largest trading loss in U.K. banking history. And his loss followed a much bigger one the firm suffered a few years earlier, during the height of the global financial crisis, that precipitated a bailout by the Swiss government.
The Alpine country's largest bank had "serious deficiencies" in the internal controls of its investment bank, Finma said in a statement. UBS failed to recognize warnings triggered by Mr. Adoboli's desk and "sent out misleading signals by awarding pay increases and bonuses to a trader who had clearly and repeatedly breached compliance rules."
The Swiss regulator noted that UBS has, since the discovery of the trading loss, introduced a large number of measures to strengthen its risk management and control capabilities.
UBS said it cooperated fully with the regulators' investigations, accepts their findings and the penalties incurred, and is promoting a "stronger risk-control culture."
"We are pleased this chapter has been concluded and that the regulators have acknowledged the steps we have taken since this incident," UBS said Monday.
The bank already was moving toward the direction Finma pointed. It is in the process of eliminating a big chunk of the investment bank's fixed-income division in an effort to reduce risk and wasn't expected by analysts to make any big acquisition anytime soon. UBS also is proscribed from embarking on new business initiatives without Finma's approval, but given the restructuring, few analysts expected such moves in the near term.
Still, the acquisition ban—reminiscent of one slapped by U.S. regulators on Citigroup Inc. for a time last decade following a series of missteps at the U.S. bank—is an embarrassment for UBS. It could ultimately prove constraining for a firm run by an investment banker. UBS brought in former Merrill Lynch banker Sergio Ermotti to replace Oswald Grübel, who stepped down in the wake of the rogue-trading loss.
Finma also said it would consider "whether UBS must raise capital backing for its operational risks." So-called operational risks include those stemming from a fraud like Mr. Adoboli's. Even if UBS is forced to set aside more capital than it already has to cover such risk, analysts expect it to be easily able to cover the amount called for with internal resources.
A number of the restrictions were put in place soon after the recent loss surfaced, but weren't disclosed until now. It is unclear when the open-ended restrictions will be lifted.
Switzerland was forced to bail out UBS after it lost some $50 billion on credit bets in the early days of the financial crisis. UBS and Credit Suisse Group AG are now subject to capital requirements that are among the tightest in the world. UBS is now pinning much of its hopes for the future on its sprawling wealth-management division, which together with its asset-management arm oversees some $2 trillion of assets.

Corrections & Amplifications
Finma may ask UBS to allocate more of its existing capital to cover operational risk. An earlier version of this story incorrectly said it may ask UBS to raise fresh capital.

Is it recommended to go for a Ultrabook over a normal laptop considering it has to be kind of good for college and knowing that SSD's are faster than HDD's?
What's better, SSD only or the combination of SSD + HDD?

Picturing Healthy Living
Sleeping right, eating right, and exercising right—with an assist from the Cancer Center, one town used old technology to help: the camera
Called Photovoice and funded with an Institutional Research Grant from the American Cancer Society, the project put cameras and notebooks into the hands of high school and junior high school students, as well as senior citizens, to record and document healthy and not-healthy themes.
"We asked everyone who participated in the project the same questions: What makes it easy and hard for you to eat fruits and vegetables? To be active? To get enough sleep?" said Dr. Adachi-Mejia at a presentation of the Photovoice photography at the Horse Meadow Senior Center in Woodsville. "What came back was an amazing variety of pictures and accompanying comments of how those questions can be answered."
Surprising Themes Showing Healthy and Unhealthy Living
She grouped the photos and comments—totaling in the hundreds—into several broad themes. These included: animal companionship, benches and swings, balls, outdoor play, fruits and vegetables, gardening, indoor sports, cards, music, parks and paths, rivers and streams, sleep, social support, media, and Facebook.
Some of the themes surprised her, Dr. Adachi-Mejia told an audience of families at the Senior Center. "I hadn't thought that companion animals could so perfectly illustrate being active, like walking your dog, as well as healthy sleep," she said, showing a photo of a very contented sleeping cat. Other themes, such as Facebook, represent time spent without exercising or being active.
She created 18 posters built on the themes, and they were all hung on display in the Senior Center. "My goal is to put the themes out there to invite discussion and reflection," she said.
All of the project's participants were anonymous. At the Senior Center presentation, however, one participant, a student named Rainie, stepped forward to say: "[The Photovoice project] really got me thinking what I should do and why things make us active or not."
Innovative Participatory Photography
Photovoice is a qualitative, participatory, and visual approach to research. Participants photograph their challenges, successes, and other observations of a specific problem and describe what they photographed and why. The technique has been used as a tool for community-based participatory research, and more than 188 Photovoice-based studies have been published to date, including eliciting perspectives from breast cancer survivors and tobacco users. Photovoice studies have also been used to identify health-related themes such as children's perceptions about road traffic safety, community members' insights on the influence of their town environment on physical activity, and older Asian immigrants' views of cardiovascular health.
"I learned that Photovoice is a great technique for the Cancer Center," Dr. Adachi-Mejia said. "Photos and writing together really bring out strengths in people and some really interesting ideas."

This article explains how the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is administered at the SBA. Each federal agency handles requests for its own records by their own rules and this guide pertains only to the SBA.
If you would like to request documents that are located or originated from another agency, you must send a separate request to that agency. SBA's Disclosure of Information regulations can be found at 13 C.F.R. part 102. If after reviewing this article you still have questions, please feel free to contact SBA's FOI/PA Office at firstname.lastname@example.com, (202)401-8203, or fax at (202) 205-7059.
The FOIA (5 U.S.C. § 552) was enacted in 1966, took effect on July 4, 1967 and is intended to make all existing federal government records available to the public unless they are protected from disclosure by any of the nine FOIA exemptions or release of the information would cause a specific harm. Any person, except a fugitive from the law, has a right to request access to federal agency records. FOIA provides two levels of administrative review, initial and appellate. Upon the exhaustion of administrative remedies, a requester may seek judicial review.
Definition of a Record
A record is a data compilation, such as books, papers, maps, and photographs, machine readable, electronic format, or other documents regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States government and in their possession and control at the time a FOIA request is received. In response to requests, the FOIA does not require agencies to create records, conduct investigations, render opinions, provide subjective evaluations, answer questions or develop information.
Agencies that are Subject to the FOIA
The FOIA applies to records created by or in the possession of executive branch agencies including:
Cabinet agencies;
Military branches;
Government corporations;
Government controlled corporations;
Independent regulatory agencies;
Other executive branch offices; and
Entities not Subject to the FOIA
The FOIA does not apply to records created by or in the possession of the following entities:
Executive Office of the President;
Any elected official of the U.S. government (i.e., Congress);
Officers of the federal Judiciary branch (i.e., judges);
Private citizens;
Private companies or associations;
Government contractors;
Government grant holders; and
State or local governments
Public Information
Many documents and information are readily available from this website. There is no need to file a formal FOIA request to obtain access to this information. Examples are:
Lists of SBA's headquarters and field offices where the public may make requests or obtain information and decisions;
All formal and informal procedures;
Rules of procedure, descriptions of available forms, locations were forms can be obtained;
Statutory rules;
Each amendment, revision, or repeal of the foregoing;
Final opinions rendered in the adjudication of administrative cases, specific agency policy statements, and administrative staff manuals that affect the public; and,
Records processed and disclosed in response to FOIA requests that because of their subject matter, the SBA determines have become or are likely to become the subject of subsequent requests.
How to Make a FOIA Request
The SBA does not require a special form in order to make a FOIA request.
Requests for existing records must be in writing, handwritten or typed, and submitted via mail, fax or electronically.
Requests may be sent to SBA program or field offices or to the FOI/PA Office/Requester Service Center, 409 Third St., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20416, or email@example.com (online FOIA Requester Service Center). The FOI/PA Office operates in the appellate capacity and refers initial requests to the SBA office(s) that maintain the pertinent information. The more specific a request is, (dates, time frames, subject, location), the more responsive SBA can be. If necessary, the SBA will contact a requester in order to refine or clarify the request.
All requests are processed under both the FOIA and the Privacy Act in order to provide greater disclosure. Requesters seeking records on themselves must provide either a notarized statement or a statement signed under penalty of perjury stating that they are the person they claim to be. They may have their signature on the request notarized or pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 (2) include the following statement just before the signature line: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on [date]." This is to ensure that private information is not improperly disclosed.
Reasons for Nondisclosure
A reasonable search failed to locate responsive records.
Request is referred to the Federal agency that possesses the responsive records.
Request is withdrawn by the requester.
Information requested is not a record within the meaning of the FOIA.
Access to the record is denied in whole or in part pursuant to the FOIA exemptions.
Records Protected by the Nine FOIA Exemptions
In response to a FOIA request, existing records will be disclosed unless the information is protected by one or more of the nine FOIA exemptions cited in the Act as 5 U.S.C. §552(b) (1) through (b)(9):
Exemption (b)(1) records that are currently and properly classified in the interest of national security;
Exemption (b)(2) records that relate solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency;
Exemption (b)(3) records protected by another law that specifically exempts the information from public disclosure. (The specific statute must be cited.);
Exemption (b)(4) trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person which would cause substantial competitive harm to the submitter if disclosed;
Exemption (b)(5) inter-agency or intra-agency records that are deliberative in nature and are part of the decision making process that contain opinions and recommendations;
Exemption (b)(6) personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of individual privacy;
Exemption (b)(7) investigatory records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes;
Exemption (b)(8) records for the use of any agency responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial institutions; and
Exemption (b)(9) records that contain geological and geophysical information (including maps) concerning wells.
Response Time
The FOIA requires that agencies respond to requests within 20 working days excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. This period begins once the correct SBA office is in receipt of the request and once any issues such as processing fees are resolved. SBA's written acknowledgment of the request will provide contact information in order for the requester to check the status of their request. The FOIA provides the right to invoke a ten working day extension when responsive records are voluminous, require two or more offices to confer about the records, and/or are located off-site.
Expedited Handling of FOIA Requests
The FOIA allows that under certain conditions a requester may be entitled to have their request processed on an expedited basis (within 10 calendar days) from the date on which the request was received. The requester must demonstrate one of the following compelling needs:
Failure to obtain requested records on an expedited basis could pose a threat to the life or physical safety of an individual; or
The requester is primarily engaged in disseminating the information and has an urgency to inform the public on an actual or alleged federal government activity.
The FOIA classifies requesters into four categories:
Commercial requesters are those who seek information for a use or purpose that furthers their commercial, trade, or profit interests. Commercial requesters pay all fees for search, review and duplication.
Educational institutions include preschools through institutions of higher learning. Records must be for educational or scholarly research. Educational requesters pay only duplication fees after receiving the first 100 pages at no cost.
Non-commercial scientific requesters are institutions that operate solely for conducting scientific research and the records must be sought in furtherance of scientific research. These requesters pay only duplication fees after receiving the first 100 pages at no cost.
News media requesters are those who are actively gathering news for an entity organized and operated to publish or broadcast news to the public. Freelance reporters may qualify as media requesters. These requesters pay only duplication fees after receiving the first 100 pages at no cost.
"Other" requesters are those that do not qualify for another category and the request is for their personal use. SBA fees are $30 an hour for search and review and $.10 a page for duplication.
Fee Waivers
A requester may seek a fee waiver if disclosure of the requested records is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.
Non-profit, media or indigent statuses do not automatically qualify a requester for a fee waiver. The requester must demonstrate expertise in the subject area and the ability to disseminate the information to the public.
Appeal of Initial Denial
A requester may file an appeal if responsive records are withheld, a "no records" initial response is provided, expedited processing or a fee waiver is denied.
The written appeal must be submitted to the FOIA Office within 60 calendar days of the date of the initial response and must contain the signature of the appellant. The FOIA Office will review all pertinent documents and respond directly to the appellant with disclosure, expedited processing and fee waiver determinations.
The Exclusion Provisions of the FOIA
Congress also provided special protection in the FOIA for three narrow categories of law enforcement and national security records. The provisions protecting those records are known as "exclusions." The first exclusion protects the existence of an ongoing criminal law enforcement investigation when the subject of the investigation is unaware that it is pending and disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. The second exclusion is limited to criminal law enforcement agencies and protects the existence of informant records when the informant's status has not been officially confirmed. The third exclusion is limited to the FBI and protects the existence of foreign intelligence or counterintelligence, or international terrorism records when the existence of such records is classified. Records falling within an exclusion are not subject to the requirements of the FOIA. So, when a component responds to your request it will limit its response to those records that are subject to the FOIA.

Traveling With Toys
While there have always been security issues involved in travel, the current political climate, as well as new legislation, has changed the procedures used to achieve security, as well as changing the allowable items to be carried with the traveler. Security measures have been heightened as never before - to the point of creating a legal risk to individuals who practice alternative sexual expression for traveling with items that are commonplace for us. This presentation will address these issues and provide tips for traveling with toys.

wooooow.... his sample like a ground
Speech less!
Lovely composition & detail! Wow!
Beautiful crabs....
Its a beauty, rare to see such coloured ones
I have a bad memory with crabs, but that does not mean that they are beautiful creatures .
Looks like the crab is hiding in a bunch of grapes. Very pretty.
That white with red spot is coral, These are beautiful creatures of God and due to them underwater world appears to be like heaven
pardon my ignorance but what is the white with the red spots in the background?
love the contrast of colors
I never imagined this kind crab
Amazing! What a shot!
nice photo!
@Shipra Agrawal i believe that that is the sea anemone that the crab is clinging to as stated in the description.
so if i'm correct, this sea anemone has green tentacles and a white and red polka dot body.
The tentacles are indeed green. The red polka dot is the 'under body' ot the anemone which I just lifted to take the picture.

So it's usually said that tea in general has lower levels of caffeine than coffee and that black tea has more caffeine than green tea (which has more caffeine than white tea).
This suggests that the higher degree of fermentation of the tea, the higher the caffeine level. Is that correct? Fermentation in other words, concentrates caffeine? Or how is it that tea, all coming from the same plant, has different levels of caffeine?

From Gothenburg, Sweden Irene write songs that sounds almost like clichés of pop songs. Songs about love and heartache, girl group-style rhythm section, handclap, Beach Boys, soul, brass and songs that are evergreens from day one.
Irene grew into a full-scale band quite spontaneously in 2005. The members are all friends from the local pub in Gothenburg, Sweden. Some songs that Tobias Isaksson (aka Bobby) had written just couldn't wait to be performed live. Everyone that did the first show had so much fun that they wanted to stick around. By the autumn of 2005 Irene was an octet with semi-permanent members. Irene likes to record as much as possible live, in one take, up to six people letting it out in one room. Only the final touch (vocals, trumpets and handclaps etc) is added afterwards. The result is a vivid sound marked by the 60s, Motown soul, girl-groups, American west coast- and contemporary pop.
The best new pop band of 2007 is already here!

Totes and Containers: Solving the puzzle
Reusable plastic totes and containers in a closed loop systems can provide cost savings as well as environmental benefits.
January 19, 2011 - MMH Editorial
What's made of plastic, has six sides and is brightly colored? If you said a Rubik's Cube, you're both right and wrong. If you said reusable plastic bins, totes and containers, you're right. Unlike the puzzling toy, bins, totes and containers offer clear solutions.
Available in hundreds of sizes and configurations—and found throughout the supply chain—reusable plastic bins, totes and containers bring many benefits to the materials handling table. From reducing packaging waste, to maximizing product protection, to optimizing inventory management through standardization, returnable boxes generate dramatic cost and efficiency returns. But with so many choices, how do you choose?
Before you answer that question, Joe Borer, marketing manager for Buckhorn (http://www.buckhorninc.com) says you will need to ensure a good closed loop system. "First and foremost, you have to make sure you can get the containers back. If you can't, you won't realize the cost savings."
With your closed loop system in place, you carefully consider which returnable you need. "Ask yourself the proper questions for the proper container recommendation," says Nathan Franck, new product development manager for Rehrig Pacific. For example: What's the use temperature range? Is a lid needed? Will the container interact with automation? How long do you need the container to last?

Totes and containers can yield 7 magnificent gains
Although not new to the materials handling market, reusable plastic totes and containers are growing in use throughout many industries by addressing seven key challenges for users.

I'm looking for the translation of the soccer term that in Portuguese we use as "disarm". It is the action of taking the ball from the opponent player or when the player with the ball attempts to trick the opponent and loses the ball.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The action of attempting to take the ball from the opponent player is called "tackling". However, I do not know of any single word describing losing the ball, except for "losing the ball".
"Steal" would be the most appropriate word based on the context you are using it in.
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary lists the following definition when using "steal" as a transitive verb:
For soccer purposes: "Kaka stole the ball from Beckham and is streaking up field!"
How Kaka came to gain possession of the ball - whether Beckham had lost it while attempting to make a fancy play or if Kaka had simply run up to Beckham and kicked the ball out from under his feet - the result is the same. Beckham had the ball until Kaka took it from him.
"Steal" is used in American English (which might be what you're after as you asked about "soccer"). In British English, dispossess would be more common.
There is also the phrase "caught in possession", but that describes a player with the ball that didn't notice an approaching opponent who then dispossessed him.

If I send an email to
email@example.com instead of
firstname.lastname@example.com, could there come up any problems with the delivery because of the uppercase letters?
If I send an email to
Technically these are different email addresses, however, you are probably OK.
The domain part of the email address (example.com) is not case-sensitive. So "ExaMple.com" is the same as "example.com". However, the recipient (local-part) is potentially case-sensitive, so "Hello" is different to "hello". Having said that, real world mail servers tend not to enforce this (I have never encountered one that does) - as it is simply confusing and prone to user error.
If you are storing email addresses then you probably should store them in their original case (the recipient at least) to be safe. However, always compare them case-insensitively in order to avoid duplicates.
From RFC 2821 - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol:
Most SMTP servers are fine with uppercase characters. However, some do differentiate between upper and lower case characters in the recipient part. The domain part is case insensitive.
For example, google mail does not differentiate between upper and lower case recipients.
I recommend you check with the concerned server admin or leave them a question to query the same.

The National Corvette Museum's motorsports park continues to take shape as the city approves a special fund to help pay for the project.
The Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has faith in the motorsports park, enough faith to donate $400,000 to help build one of its tracks.
"We want infrastructure funds available for non-profit tourism-related projects and they have to be projected to increase hotel overnight stays," said Bowling Green Area Convention and Vistors Bureau Executive Director Vicki Fitch.
Fitch says the project is projected to bring in 31,000 more overnight stays at hotels. One project manager says it will be well worth the investment, bringing in Corvette and high performance vehicle enthusiasts from all over the country.
"There's nothing like this in the area, especially now that Nashville Super Speedway closed up, there is no road course really closer than about 4,5,6 hours away," said National Corvette Museum Event Manager Roc Linkov.
Linkov says it will also complete the experience for those who purchase Corvettes, and take part in the GM Bowling Green Corvette Assembly plant's new performance build center, where they can customize their engines.
"People could have a huge experience here with private tours, build your own motor... pick up your car, and learn how to drive it," said Linkov.
$3 million dollars of the project's price tag is land already owned by the museum.
"We'll be building structures rather than taking things out. Mostly it's clearing," said Linkov.
One side of the park is adjacent to I65, and the other side homes. Linkov says sound control is part of the design plan. The track was built to ensure the exhaust noise pointed away from residences.
"It's away from houses. They come around and by the time they make the bend and you'd hear loud exhaust... and these are street cars... when they come around here, they're not really aiming toward houses. We're just going with restrictions on ourselves. We feel it's just the right thing to do," said Linkov.
Linkov says the project was already designed to meet standards for the city's binding elements.
He says once the city planning commission approves the final plan on June 1, he expects to break ground on the first phase of the project, which includes the two mile West Course by June 28.

Alicia Alonso in 1957 "Coppelia" clipLos Angeles Greek Theater
Posted 23 June 2008 - 01:31 PM
version after Petipa for the company, which starred her and Igor Youskevitch. This Coppélia premiered on December 28, 1948, at the Teatro Auditorium, which is now the Amadeo Roldan Theater in Havana. In 1957, Mme. premiered her own version of Coppélia with her company at the Los Angeles Greek Theater. There she interpreted the role of Swanilda, and was partnered by Andre Eglevsky as Franz. For this new production, Mme. Alonso meticulously worked to recapture and protect original elements of Saint-Léon and Petipa. At the same time, she enriched the choreography with moments of great technical virtuosity, established classical demi-caractère (semi-character) style, and took great care of the narrative coherence of the plot. It's been reported by some accounts that his was the first time that in the US was staged the full-length choreography of this ballet (?), which Mme. alonso staged it, directed and danced it. This is also the current version of CNB. I hope you all enjoy this little gem...(and talk about sautees on pointe..!! )

My first teacher (Merriem Lanova) danced with Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and I grew up with her version of Coppelia (which closely resembled the Ballet Russe version). I am very partial to this ballet! The score is just so wonderful! The first role I ever danced was a little "seated doll" in Dr. Coppelius' workshop. I then moved on to "Chinese Doll", to Mazurka and Czardas, then Swanhilda's Friend, and finally (at 14) the Dawn variation. I just staged full length Coppelia for my ballet school last spring based mostly on my childhood memories of the ballet ( I was one of those little kids who knew everybody's role!)... P.S. Miss Lanova knew Alicia Alonso well...
Very interesting what you said about Merriem Lanova. I taught a summer workshop for her school in San Francisco, I think around in 1974, and also staged a "La Bayadere" for her student group. I remember she wanted me to stay on as a regular teacher but I had other committments. She was very nice to me. I've often wondered what became of her and her company. I assume she has died but don't know under what circumstances.
If you know about her latter years I would like very much to know. Thanx.

Strong drink that tastes like big red and has real gold flakes inside. Drinking a lot tends to give you diarhea the morning after and causes you to wet myself.
"What is this shit? Big red?"
by jerryblank May 15, 2005
Goldschlager is a special, sweet, but not too sweet, cinnamon-tasting liquor, for those with the need for a big zing who want to celebrate the day, can drink in moderation, and do not mind some after effects.
I have been looking for a zing at end of the bottle of red wine for years. Sorry, Albany, NY, wine shop guy... I finally found the zing. It was in the Goldschlager all along.

(n)- Cinnamon schnapps liqueur (40%) with gold flakes. Rapid consumption results in inebriation and eventual disorientation which eventually leads to unconsciousness. Upon consciousness, causes one to realize they are in someone else's bed in A/B with their pants 1/2 off. At this point, friends help one up and one proceeds with puking. Then there is more disorientation, eventually leading to another state of unconsciousness. Later the next morning, it is realized that stolen furniture polish was thrown out one's window.
J-Dawg, you drinking Goldschlager?

Cinnamon schnapps, sometimes called Big Red because of the taste. It usually comes in long necked, large bowled bottom bottles with real gold flakes floating inside. The flakes are rumored to create tiny cuts in your throat and stomach, with the idea being that the alcohol enters the bloodstream faster and gets you drunk quick.
Z-tron and J got sliced on that little bottle of Goldschlager last night.

I currently use Skype to do video chats with folks that I know across the world, but I've been finding that its performance has been pretty horrible. Dropped connections, horrible video performance, etc., and after narrowing it down, I've determine that for whatever reason Skype's version 5 just isn't liking the computers that myself and others use.
So I was wondering if there are any other video chat programs out there that would be a step up. I've tried others such as MSN and Yahoo but they're not that great quality-wise, and don't allow folks that are using Linux to join in. So anything that would work with Windows XP or newer and Linux, and be a step up in reliability would be welcomed.

This is a simplified example of a design issue that I am facing: I have 3 tables:
Ship and
Bicycle. I need to add an "activity logging" table that records user actions such as deletion and user comments etc. I was thinking of creating just one table. Rather than 3 tables. The problem is with ensuring referential integrity. Should I create 3 separate columns that link to these tables? Should there be one column and I use it when needed? What is the general recommendation in such case? or should I just create 3 separate tables?

This is a simplified example of a design issue that I am facing: I have 3 tables:
I work with a database that has this solution that I outline below. I don't like it because the base table has an entry for each type and it ends up being a huge table that is slow to query.
--base table
--table for "Car" logging
--another child table
to get all the ship logs you would query for
this is a clean design but if each type of thing generates ten or twenty log entries per thing you don't have to do too much to have a huge table for application_logging with a million entries. Users complain it's slow to see the activity log.
The real question is:
As @Steb says "it all depends". Your application, your users, number of transactions....
Arguments can be made either way depending on whether you want to handle populating these tables using triggers or the application(s).
I think this depends on what exactly you want to store in these logging tables, if you're logging anything specific to your 3 "data" tables then you'd be better off with 3 logging tables (1 logging table per "data" table which will be easier to populate using triggers), otherwise you can store everything in 1 table (with 1 field to reference each data table) which will make reporting easier.
As regards referential integrity, if you're actually deleting the original data record (rather than just marking it as deleted) then your Foreign Key will have nothing to link to anyway.
This is one of these situations where I de-normalize to gain centralized reporting and application logic (though triggers could be used for this, depending what you're storing).

I have a very specific problem and I'm looking for a solution for it. I need to add some sort of history to an object. The history will be stored like this:
- begin_date
- end_date
- previous_id
Suppose the object that I'm wanting to add the history to is X. We have a central database (at the moment all mdb files, we will switch soon to gdb though) that contains the object X with the history. Workers on the field have a local version of the database and they also fill an object X_i that has an attribute changed. X and X_i have an id to track them.
Now when we want to merge the local version of the database a script should run and fill the history of the central db like this:
if X_i.changed = true:
search central_X.id, fill end_date with today
search local_X.id, copy this attribute to central_X and:
fill begin_date
fill previous_id with central_X.id
generate new unique id for the central_X
We also add new fields to the central db and update the unique ids:
for every i in local_X:
if i not in central_X:
copy i to central_X
generate new unique id for i
enter begin_date
For deleted items we do something similar but then we set the end_date.
At the end of the merge. We create a new X_i where all the ids are correctly filled and the changed attribute is empty everywhere.
My question about this is:
I was thinking about doing this in ArcPy or FME because I have some experience with both. What do you think would be best, ArcPy or FME (or something else).
Can you point me in the right direction; what are the toolboxes, functions you would use for this?
I have looked at alternatives like an ArcSDE with archiving, but that would mean we would need to invest in an ArcSDE, change a significant part of our workflow and not all items that we change will have X_i.changed, so the archiving would contain way too much information to be really useful.
Edit: added workflow to clarify.
- I can use changedetector for this.
- If X_i.changed is true
- If X_i.id is not empty
- set end_date for all processed data
- no idea how to do this
- no idea how to do this
- no idea how to do this
- find the biggest id so far and proceed from this id.

The well-known Hopf fibration $S^1 \rightarrow S^3 \rightarrow S^2$ has explicit constructions involving the geometry of $C^2$ and intersections of complex lines with the $3$-sphere. They don't seem to generalize easily to "higher" Hopf maps from $S^3 \rightarrow S^2$ with Hopf invariant not equal to one. Are there any simple expressions for those maps?
You can get them by precomposing with a degree n map from S^3 to itself. In particular, this gives an interpretation in terms of the group structure: if h:S^3 \to S^2 is the Hopf map (which is just modding out by the subgroup S^1=U(1) of S^3=Sp(1)), then a map of Hopf invariant n is given by x \mapsto h(x^n), where x^n is using the group multiplication on S^3.
Actually, yes, there is a construction involving complex projective line.
Consider all points (x1, x2, x3, x4) on a 3-sphere in the 4-dimensional space. Our goal is to map them to
To do this, take a quaternion

High Lift Scag Lawn
Mower blade -
High Lift blades are type of lawn mower blades that would have came on your Scag
lawn mower when you bought it new. The back edge of the Scag mower blade is
curled up to create air movement that stands up the grass for a cleaner cut and
allows the grass to leave the mower deck. For standard cutting this is the best
choice of an Scag lawn mower blade.

Optical What? Panasonic and Sony are working on 300TB optical discs for 2015
Just when everyone couldn't care less about optical discs, Sony and Panasonic has announced that they are teaming up to create a new optical disc standard, with accompanying technology, that will have a minimum storage capacity of 300GB, that's right GIGABYTE. The duo are clearly not going to gice up, but the question is; who will use discs if there is cloud storage?

I need help with creating a new layer in Illustrator. I work with Photoshop on a regular basis doing design work and although I've worked with illustrator a few times, I'm only really getting into it now with my tablet. I'm struggling with a small issue and need help. When I create a new layer and start to draw in it, Illustrator automatically jumps back to the previous layer and my artwork appears there instead!!?? It has happened almost consistently for a week now and I'm wondering if there is a setting causing it. My layers are all listed in the layers panel but all the artwork sits on layer 1. illustrator won't allow me work in a new layer. Please help - very frustrated.
I ran into this when learning illustrator recently. Simply expand the layer you accidentally drew in (click the arrow on the layer) and drag the small colored box on the path you just created's right side up to your new layer. Illustrator can have multiple paths on one layer each in its own pseudo layer.
I don't yet know why the new path isn't added to the layer that is highlighted but this does work. I will do some research and add any further info I find.
It's sometimes a good idea, especially with complex illustrations, to lock all layers you're not working on. This will avoid your problem and others.

Source: MyFoodDiary.com
These roasted chickpeas are a great substitute for unhealthy salty snacks. Not only will they keep your sodium and fat intake in check, they also provide protein and fiber.
Tip for the cook: The options are endless when it comes to flavors for roasted chickpeas. Experiment with other seasonings such as cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried basil, or garlic powder.
Yield: 4 servings
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- 1 (15 oz.) can low-sodium chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)

6 Video Game Heroes Made Useless By Supporting Characters
#3. Mario vs. Peach (Super Mario Series)
Mario is basically the most famous video game character ever. For almost 30 years, he has strolled, jumped, ran, swam and fire-balled his way through adversity to save the day. He's become so much of an icon that it's virtually impossible for any product featuring his mustached visage to fail.
Above: The exception that proves the rule.
His entire existence is focused on saving the incredibly helpless and abduction-prone Princess Peach, who has been kidnapped by Bowser so many times she keeps a toothbrush at his place.
Upstaged by:
Princess Peach.
Seen here poppin' a squat.
See, what's weird is that game after game begins with her getting helplessly abducted like a toddler, but then every once in a while she shows off supernatural abilities that quite frankly seem much more impressive than Mario's.
Remember Super Mario Bros. 2? It was the sequel that wasn't really a sequel because the real sequel was too hard for Americans, so Nintendo took an unrelated game, photoshopped Mario characters into it and released that as the sequel. But then the real sequel was released years later, with a different title and the fake sequel was still called Super Mario Bros. 2, even though the real sequel was readily available in the States.
In Super Mario Bros. 2, you can switch among four characters at any time, and every single one of them is better than Mario. In fact, there's no reason to ever pick anyone but the Princess, because she, like Tails, can fucking fly.
She's like Boba Fett. In a dress.
For short distances, anyway. Peach can jump in the air and hang there for a ridiculous amount of time, during which she can fly over countless obstacles and bottomless pits that Mario would just stare at. She is without question the star of Super Mario Bros. 2, but somehow Mario still gets the damn thing named after him.
And don't tell us that ability isn't canon; years later she shows up in her own DS game, still with the ability to fly ...
... and oh by the way can freaking surround herself with a ball of psychic hellfire.
Which is not a great quality in a girlfriend.
That game is the only one that gets the logic right: It's Mario who gets kidnapped, and she has to go save his ass. Not only does this make more sense considering her arsenal, but we can't figure out how she ever allows herself to get kidnapped in the first place.
#2. Donkey Kong vs. Funky Kong (Donkey Kong Country Series)
The original Donkey Kong led a simple life, but nowadays you need more than an endless supply of barrels and a house made up of construction beams if you hope to excel in the workplace. So Donkey Kong got a revamp in the Donkey Kong Country series, pitting him against an endless stream of enemies in an action platformer setting. In these games, Donkey Kong shambles around the jungle in a necktie and bonks villainy on the head.
Also, he eats a shitload of bananas.
Upstaged y:
Enter Donkey Kong's cousin Funky Kong, who is better than him in every conceivable way.
That funky monkey.
Funky Kong lives in the woods and stockpiles weapons, presumably to take down the FBI when they show up one day to steal his freedom. Being Donkey's cousin, he sells these weapons, along with any other groundbreaking and world-changing technology he just happens to have lying around, for a discount price at Funky's Armory.
This was before he put up the "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboard.
Funky even has planes and gyrocopters, whereas Donkey is still picking his ass riding around on a rhino in the jungle.
Now, we know what you're thinking. Just because he has a massive arsenal at his disposal doesn't mean he's qualified to use any of these weapons. Maybe he has some kind of disability that affects his motor control. Maybe he's a pacifist, and his conscience will only allow him to sell the coconut guns that Donkey uses to terrorize the bad guys.
Ah, no. At the end of Donkey Kong Country 64, the main bad guy (King K. Rool) has the Kong family surrounded when Funky swoops in with a goddamned rocket launcher and blasts Rool into oblivion.
The asshole could've done this at any time. Once more, it raises the question of why send Donkey Kong to do anything when you have this guy around? What can't be accomplished when you have a monkey with rocket-propelled explosives?
#1. Master Chief vs. Cortana (Halo Series)
Gordon Freeman may have won a gamer popularity poll, but Halo's Master Chief dominates on the sales charts. This despite being yet another faceless, voiceless protagonist designed to let the player pretend he's a genetically enhanced super-soldier out to save the universe from unspeakably evil alien parasites.
As opposed to speakably evil alien parasites.
This isn't a bad thing -- the Chief is certainly not to be fucked with. He's an intergalactic badass with some of the most high-tech armor and weaponry imaginable, and he's managed to blast his way through countless utterly hopeless scenarios and come out on top every time.
Upstaged by:
Cortana, the Chief's AI sidekick. She exists mainly for providing tactical support and information for the Chief, along with providing 15-year-olds with nerdtastic geek boners. (Hint: Don't Google "Cortana nude.")
But in the games, we see that she can control entire cities by remotely breaking into their battle nets and taking over their weaponry, without anyone ever setting foot in the area. Which is another way of saying that she really doesn't need the Chief at all.
"I dunno. Mainly for the eye candy?"
Also, the whole point of the Chief's operation is to destroy the Halo machine in the hopes that it would kill the Flood. What it would actually do is kill off anything the Flood considers food, which is absolutely every living thing in the universe. Chief, being a faceless meathead who tends to just shoot everything he sees, would not have figured that out until after everybody was dead. Cortana did all the thinking for him and learned the truth about Halo just in time to keep him from dooming us all.
Basically, she could've fought the entire war and probably won it by herself simply by crippling the enemy's weaponry, without any troops ever getting too close to actual gunfire. Her remote hacking and expansive information-gathering abilities make her the clear poster child for evolved futuristic combat.
This is not evolved.
Master Chief, for all his badassitude, is really just a grunt whose life is being put unnecessarily at risk, although a video game featuring him doing nothing but sitting around eating tacos in the cafeteria while Cortana does all the work would probably not have sold as well.

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo President Emeritus Christopher C. Dahl will deliver the keynote address for the college's two undergraduate commencement ceremonies May 17 in the Ira S. Wilson Ice Arena on campus. Dahl will speak at both the 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. ceremonies, when he will address "Geneseo on the 20-Year Plan." The college will confer an estimated 1,200 undergraduate degrees this year.
"It will seem unusual having Chris Dahl addressing commencement rather than presiding over it as he has for the past 18 years, but we are nonetheless delighted that he will be with us to deliver what I know will be a memorable speech for the Class of 2014," said Carol S. Long, interim president of Geneseo. "Our graduates recognize that Chris has had a great deal to do with their success and with building Geneseo into the outstanding college it is today."
Dahl, professor of English at Geneseo, is retiring in June after serving more than 18 years as Geneseo's president during a period of unprecedented growth and recognition. He is the longest-serving president among SUNY's four-year colleges. Dahl has been on leave since October but has continued to support the college to help assure a smooth transition to a new president. He has been involved in fundraising initiatives for the college in addition to working on special assignments for SUNY.
Dahl received his bachelor's degree from Harvard College and both his master's degree and doctorate from Yale University. He has served as chair of the Board of Directors of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and currently is a member of the AAC&U's Presidents' Trust, a leadership group within the organization's Liberal Education and America's Promise (LEAP) initiative. He also served on the board of the American Council on Education and is past president of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC). He also served twice as president of the Rochester Area Colleges consortium.
During commencement, the college will confer two honorary doctorates: an honorary doctor of science degree upon Norman P. Neureiter, director of the Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and an honorary doctor of laws degree upon Thomas L. Purce, president of The Evergreen State College and ardent advocate of public liberal arts education.
A member of the graduating class traditionally addresses fellow graduates at commencement and Sherry Leung, a history/adolescent education major from Fresh Meadow, N.Y., will address the morning ceremony. Mary Aldridge, a business administration major from Rochester, N.Y., will address the afternoon ceremony.
Geneseo graduate students will be recognized a week earlier during a master's degree ceremony May 10 at 10 a.m. in Alice Austin Theater. Addressing the graduate ceremony will be 1991 Geneseo alumnus Christopher F. Liucci, chief accounting officer and global controller for Genesee & Wyoming Inc. His address is titled, "Pursuing Success." An estimated 70 graduate students will receive degrees.
Liucci joined Genesee & Wyoming Inc. as chief accounting officer and global controller in 2006. He was previously director of global financial planning and reporting and controller of financial reporting/internal controls during more than eight years with Genencor International, Inc. Prior to that, Liucci was an audit manager with Coopers & Lybrand LLP (a predecessor to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP), where he was an independent auditor for six years. Liucci is a CPA and earned his bachelor's degree in accounting in 1991 from SUNY Geneseo and an MBA from The Simon School of the University of Rochester. His wife, Paula, is also a 1991 Geneseo graduate.
Both ceremonies will be streamed live through this link. Visit the college's commencement webpage for more information on the events.

Poisson brackets play the very important roles in Symplectic geometry and Dynamical system. I'm interested in some conserved quantities of Poisson brackets.
Let's say we are working on T^n x R^n (T^n is the torus in R^n, T^n = R^n/Z^n). Assume that I have the Hamiltonian H: T^n x R^n \mapsto R, where H=H(x,p) and H is smooth for simplicity.
Every function here is T^n-periodic in x. For K=K(x,p) then we define the Poisson bracket {H,K} = D_p H.D_x K - D_x H.D_p K.
The question is, in general setting or in some particular case, can you find some conserved quantities S such that {H,S}=0?
One easy and important example is for S= f(H) for f is smooth then we have {H,f(H)}=0.
But can you have some other conserved quantities S?
Edit: here's one specific example: If H(x,p)=H(p)+V(x_1+x_2+...+x_n) for V: R \mapsto R is T-periodic then this kind of Hamiltonian has some other conserved quantities S=p_i - p_j for any i \ne j.
Any deeper intuitions or physical examples?

"Your momma was a snow blower".... had fun watching this again with the kids but we have learned that 80's PG movies have more language than today's PG movies.
No disassemble Number Five!
@mnmom2four: The PG-13 rating was created in 1984. I think it was because of the second Indiana Jones movie, which was pretty intense for PG, but not enough for an R rating.
@publiclurker: Yes, it was. The Indiana Jones Special Edition trilogy has a featurette where Spielberg and Lucas discuss this very issue.
I am sporting a tremendous woody right now.
