Manuscript format
Arrange manuscripts in the order: cover page, table of contents (including lists of figures and tables), abstract, introduction, text, acknowledgments, literature cited, appendices, index, figures, figure captions, and tables. Everything is to be double-spaced when being submitted for review.
Cover page:
On the first sheet, type the information that appears on the front cover of Fieldiana. Use zeros as placeholders for information to be filled in later, such as series no., publication no., and date of publication:
[Series name (Anthropology or Life and Earth Sciences)]
N. S (for Anthropology only) NO. 00
[Title—Boldface and flush left]
[Author/s—If using initials, add space between two initials, e.g., L. D. Lang]
Publication 0000
Below this, please provide a Short (Running) Title of 50 to 70 characters.
Table of Contents:
Type the table of contents to exactly match the contents of your manuscript. The table of contents may not be carried beyond three levels of heads, and you may choose to use only one, leaving out subsequent headings. The table of contents also includes a list of figures (start with the cover image), and list of tables.
The wording in the list of figures is a short statement of what each figure shows. It is not a figure caption. For example, a figure caption that read, "The rocky cliff on the western side of the Mitla Fortress." would be shortened in the list of figures to, "The Mitla Fortress from the west." The list of tables may contain the exact table titles or short statements of what the tables show.
Abstract: Brief and to the point. Boldface and center "Abstract" and indent first line of abstract.
Resumen, résumé
A resumen, résumé, or abstract in any other language may immediately follow the abstract. It should be an exact translation and should be grammatically and orthographically correct (add all of the diacritics). Style this exactly like the abstract. Add a line space between the abstract and the resumen.
Affiliation footnote:
These are rare. They may appear when each chapter of the monograph is by a separate person or group of people.
An introduction to the entire work is not always needed unless you are preparing an edited volume, but you may want to include one. An introduction in this sense is part of the book's front matter; it does not receive a chapter title and is not always appropriate as a section title.
Materials and methods:
This section is a detailed but concise account of how you conducted your work, including research strategy and field methods. List any abbreviations and definitions of acronyms here. Use standard abbreviations for institution names and collections. See section on abbreviations for more information.
Material examined:
You may decide to list specimens in a separate section or as an appendix. You may include physical details about each specimen and the catalog number, locality, and name of collector.
The headings in the text should match the headings in the table of contents. For clarity, we recommend not exceeding four levels of headings in text. Please follow this format for heads:
Heading 1:
Boldface, initial caps, flush left, and set in 11-point type
Heading 1
Heading 2:
Boldface, italics, initial caps, flush left, and set in 9-point type
Heading 2
Heading 3:
Set in Caps and small caps, set in 9-point type, indent paragraph, add em dash, and then run in text.
HEADING 3—Text follows.
Heading 4 (rare):
Initial caps, indent paragraph, add em dash, and then run in text.
Heading 4—Text follows.
You may use the words "above" and "below" to reference close material; for distant material, however, we recommend identifying the section parenthetically, e.g., "(see earlier discussion under History and Culture)."
Be sure to indicate in your manuscript where you want figures and tables placed. We may have to place them elsewhere due to restrictions of design and page layout. A common problem is too little text and too many display elements (Tables and Figures), in which case we will try to place all figures or all tables in one, two, or three galleries.
In-text citations:
- Use author–year style in chronological, then alphabetical, order. Use a comma between author and year. For three or more authors, list the first author followed by et al. (Smith et al., 1963). For two or more citations listed together, separate with semicolons (Smith et al., 1963; Jones, 1999). If citing a chapter in the same edited volume, use "(Smith, this volume).
- When there's more than one reference with the same author/s and date, use letters to distinguish one from the other: (Smith, 1963a) and (Smith, 1963b).
- Use ampersands within parentheses but spell out and otherwise: (Smith & Jones, 1963); Smith and Jones (1963).
- Personal communications referenced in text: (Heitman, pers. comm.).
- Use lowercase when referring to other authors' figures, tables, plates, or chapters.
- When citing direct quotations in the text, include page numbers: (Smith, 1963: 171).
- Immediately after the first use of binomial names, taxonomic authorities are the only citations that should appear in parentheses, unless you make it clear that the citation is not an authority.
- In manuscripts that describe new species, authorities of taxa discussed in regard to the new species must be included in the literature cited.
Referring to tables and figures in text:
Capitalize Table and Figure. Spell out Figure in text, but use (Fig.) or (Figs.) in parentheses. Use lowercase when referring to other authors' figures, tables, plates, or chapters.
Taxonomic treatments:
Descriptions, or redescriptions of taxa should begin with the next higher classification, e.g. for a species description, the genus and its authority. The focal taxon name is centered and in Bold. On the line after the new species name (Genus nspecious n. sp.) please list the figures which illustrate the taxon. Diagnoses and descriptions should be in telegraphic style. Rather than state "the tail is long and is strongly bicolored with a black tip", use "Tail: long, Strongly bicolored, tip black." All authorities of pertinent taxa, including the next higher classification and species to which the focal taxon is being compared must be included in the Literature Cited.
Don't use them. The Fieldiana format is simply not appropriate for footnotes or endnotes.
Acknowledgments are limited to three kinds: financial support, professional assistance (loan of specimens, use of research facilities, field assistance, etc.), and truly exceptional personal contributions. The acknowledgments should be placed before the literature cited section.
Literature Cited:
- Use the head Literature Cited, not References.
- Use author–year style, with references ordered strictly alphabetically. Author names should be capitalized, then formatted to small caps. This is not clear on the web page. Please verify by looking at a recent volume, either in hard copy or pdf.
- Spell out names of all journals and book publishers.
- Use a single 3-em dash for an exact repetition of author or authors.
- Include a space between two or more author initials: MILLER, W. D.
- Capitalize the first letter following a colon for both journal article and book titles.
- If you must cite an issue number, use this style: 34(3): 111–113.
- Page numbers should be all inclusive: 104–109, not 104–9.
- It is not necessary to include total number of pages for books.
It is the author's responsibility to make sure that all in-text citations have a corresponding entry in the literature cited section and vice versa. Also please make sure that dates and spelling match.

Appendices follow the literature cited section. Begin the appendix on a new page. If figures or tabular material accompany an appendix (or compose the totality of the appendix), they should be clearly labeled as such. Each appendix should be designated with roman numerals: Appendix I, Appendix II. Lengthy appendices of only indirect relevance to the manuscript may best be made available online instead of printed along with the rest of the volume.
Index The value of your work may be enhanced by an index. Please discuss this with the Editors. After you check the page proofs, you may use them to create the index. Please supply the index as an electronic file and as double-spaced copy. Include all significant items, taxonomic synonyms, and major topics of discussion.
We refer to all illustrations—line drawings, maps, graphs, and photographs—as figures. Please number them consecutively using Arabic numerals. Fieldiana Anthropology contributions number the figures and tables according to which chapter they belong to: Fig. 1.2 or Table 5.1. In Fieldiana Life and Earth Sciences, the figures and tables are numbered consecutively: Fig. 2 or Fig. 5. In edited volumes of Fieldiana Life and Earth Sciences, each chapter begins numbering Figures and Tables with "1". In running text, capitalize and spell out. In parentheses, please use (Fig.) or (Figs.). See Figure captions section in this document for specific caption formatting.
Figure captions should not appear on the figures themselves, but should be grouped together and double-spaced on a separate sheet of paper (or a separate electronic file). Captions should be self-explanatory and should not require reference to the text. The word Figure should be abbreviated and set in small caps, FIG. The captions should be in paragraph style, and the parts of a figure in boldface: (A), (B).
The overall dimensions of Fieldiana are 8.5 by 11 inches. The column and page dimensions are:
Page width (2 columns) 43.5 picas, ~ 7.25 inches
Single column width 21 picas, ~ 3.5 inches
Page height 58 picas, ~ 9.5 inches
Electronic art —Strongly Preferred
- Halftone and color images should be submitted at desired print size, with no less than 300 pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) resolution. Digital color files must be in CMYK mode. Digital color proofs supplied must be output in CMYK mode. Halftones should have dot end settings of 2% in the lightest are of the image and 98% in the darkest area.
- If submitting photographs taken using a digital camera, please use the highest resolution setting option with the least amount of compression. Please refer to your camera's manual for more information. Please note that images that are downloaded from the internet are usually in JPEG or GIF format and 72 dpi. These are not acceptable for print. If you are unsure, print out the figure and look at its quality.
- Line art should be submitted at desired print size, no less than 1200 dpi.
- TIFF or EPS file formats are preferred, and may be submitted for both PC and Macintosh platforms. We also accept image files in the following Native Application File Formats: Adobe Photoshop (.psd), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Illustrator (.ai), PowerPoint (.ppt), Word (.doc) and Excel (.xls). Files are accepted on CD or DVD.
- Scale bars should be included in the figure rather than in the figure caption. Final type size of letters on the figure should be no less than 8 point, and should be fairly consistent within the manuscript.
Please include with your submission a directory of the files contained on the disk and a hardcopy printout of each figure. The hardcopy must match the digital file. Please include the screen and printer font files for any text that has been added to the figure. Adobe PostScript fonts should be used. Please do NOT use TrueType or system "bitmap" fonts. To avoid font problems, convert all type to curves or paths. Additional information on digital art specifications is provided by Allen Press at: http://allenpress.com/system/files/pdfs/library/apmk_digital_art.pdf
Changes in figures that result from unclear author specifications, or for any author-generated reason, will be charged to the author.
Original (hard copy) art:
- Normally, only copies of original art, photographs, or unique illustrations should be included with an initial submission to Fieldiana.
- Size of original artwork should be no less than its reproduction size, and no greater than twice its reproduction size.
- All original artwork must be labeled.
- Labels should contain the Journal Name, Author, Figure #, MS#, and percentage reduction or final column size desired, and should be filled out legibly using BLACK ink. If the artwork is in color, please indicate on the label whether it is to be reproduced in color or black and white.
- Labels should be placed at the tops of figures, no more than ½" from the image area. Removable figure labels should be used. Please keep labels small. Do NOT label or write in ink on the back of the artwork, as it may bleed through upon reproduction.
- If assembling multiple pieces of artwork into one plate, the artwork should be mounted on stiff white board, which is less than 1/8" thick. Use a glue stick to mount figures securely. Do not use tape of any kind.
- If lettering is required on an image, rub-on transfer letters are preferred over Kroy type. Letters and labels on the figure should be placed at least 1/8" from all edges of the figure. Scale bars should always be included in the figure rather than in the figure caption. Final type size of letters on the figure should be no less than 8 points, and should be fairly consistent within the manuscript.
- Half-tone images (such as black and white photographs) should be submitted as close to final size as possible. They must be high contrast and show fine detail.
Additional information on original art specifications may be provided by Allen Press. Art re-shoots made because the author was not clear in his or her specifications, or for any author-generated reason, will be charged to the author.
Tables should be submitted electronically in a standard software program, with an accompanying printout of each table printed on a separate page. Tables that are especially long should be in their own separate electronic files. Occasionally, tables may be submitted as camera-ready copy. All but camera-ready copy must be double-spaced. If tables are submitted as camera-ready copy, please provide a separate list of table heads. These heads will be typeset conventionally and set with the corresponding tables during production.
Please indicate in your manuscript where you envision the placement of your tables, if it isn't to be at, or near, the first mention in the text. Tables should be self-explanatory and not require reference to the text.
Tables should be styled as follows:
- Number tables consecutively with Arabic numbers.
- Try to keep headings as brief as possible.
- Use horizontal lines to separate headings or column labels, and add a single line at the bottom of the table. Do not use vertical lines.
- Double space the entire table
- 12-point font is preferred. The minimum is 10-point font.
- Boldface column heads; cap then lowercase.
- Cap then lowercase stub columns (left most).
- Be consistent with footnote designators: symbols are the most common (*, †, ‡, §, _, #, **, ††, ‡‡, §§, __, ##, etc.) but letters or numbers may be used for statistical data. Paragraph indent footnotes and use a thin space after designator.
- Be consistent with treatment of cells with no data; blank cells are okay, or you may insert a hyphen.
- All tables and figures must fit on a Fieldiana page (8 1/2 x 11 inches) and in the Fieldiana format. It is the responsibility of the authors to split oversize figures and tables into manageable page-size pieces.
Use of Protected Materials—Permissions:
Authors who use previously published materials, in whole or in part, that are under copyright protection, or any other protected material, must submit written permission to use this material in Fieldiana by the stage of final acceptance. Warning! Obtaining written permission may take several months; therefore, we suggest you begin as early as possible.

Copies of any permissions received from individuals regarding the use and publication of their likeness, should be given to the Managing Scientific Editor.
Abbreviations and acronyms:
- Spell out terms in full for first appearance in abstract and again for first appearance in text. Do not spell out again in figure captions or tables.
- It's okay to begin a sentence with an acronym, but not an abbreviation.
- Use small caps for institutional acronyms: FMNH.
- Follow usual rules: run together most prefixes and suffixes, but hyphenate to avoid double vowels (intra-abdominal) and triple consonants (bell-like); but defer to Merriam-Webster's 11th edition (preempt).
- Use an em dash in open or hyphenated compounds: pre–World War II; non–weight-bearing leg. And between two units of equal weight: snout–vent length.
- Use regular hyphenation rules for units of measure: a 4-m-thick sandstone block; but a sandstone block 4 m thick (hyphenate adjectives when they appear before the noun).
- Hyphenate all -like words.
- Spell out Genus species on first mention of each taxon and at the beginning of sentences. Then use G. species. If discussing two genera tht begin with the same letter, carefully assess each use as to whether an initial is sufficiently clear.
- Be consistent when choosing to spell out the genus name with each new species.
- If quotation marks or question marks are used with genus species designations, the quotation marks or question marks should be set in roman type, not italics (e.g., The Unio? is Neotrapezium californicum).
Units of measure:
- Standard, i.e. International System of Units (SI), units of measure are abbreviated throughout the text, figures, and tables.
- Be consistent when abbreviating units of time and when using numerals or spelled-out numbers for units of time.

A settlement between the city of Bowling Green and former Convention Center Corporation board member Steve Catron will effectively end the ongoing Convention center lawsuit, and controversy.
The two-year long controversy surrounds allegations that Catron misspent or over billed the CCC for more than $750,000 in public funds over a period of years.
The city filed a lawsuit against Catron in May, seeking the return of the funds. Attorneys for the city and Catron, along with City Commissioner Jim Bullington, met with a mediator in Louisville in October, and this settlement is the result of that summit.
As part of the agreement, no one is admitting any fault, the city agrees not to pursue any further legal action, and the Catrons and other companies named in the suit agree to pay the CCC $260,000. The city is estimated to have already spent over $100,000 in legal fees on this case before the mediation.
Mayor Sandy Jones gave the city's first and only public statement concerning the settlement. "We are pleased to announce that all parties have reached a settlement regarding the issues surrounding the Convention Center Corporation and the city of Bowling Green. Without the admission of fault by any party, all parties have released each other, and this case is over," Jones said.

Government shutdown: Week 2UPDATED 11:53 PM PDT Oct 07, 2013
President Barack Obama continues to refuse to negotiate with Republicans. They continue to insist that any government funding bill must somehow delay, defund or otherwise disrupt his signature health reform law.Video Transcript
SOME 350-THOUSAND FURLOUGHED PENTAGON WORKERS ARE BACK ON THE JOB. THIS COMES AS THE NATION MOVES CLOSER TO AN OCTOBER 17TH DEADLINE TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING OR FACE DEFAULT. ACTION NEWS REPORTER SALLY KIDD IS IN WASHINGTON WITH THE LATEST.### The White House says the president is open to even a short term extension of the debt limit....and today he stepped up the pressure on House Republicans. Government shutdown, week two. President Obama visited FEMA, where 86 percent of workers are furloughed- his main message was directed at Capitol Hill: Obama -NO SUPER "If Republicans and Speaker Boehner are saying there are not enough votes, then they should prove it. Let the bill go to the floor and let's see what happens. Just vote." That bill is a continuing budget resolution with no strings attached. Speaker Boehner says the president needs to talk, first. Rep. John Boehner/House Speaker "The American people expect when their leaders have differences and we're in times of crisis we'll at least sit down and have a conversation." Sen. Harry Reid/Senate Majority Leader "I ask the speaker, why are you afraid? Are you afraid this measure will pass, the govt will reopen, and Americans will realize you took the country hostage for no apparent reason?" Republicans say the problem isn't the House, it's the Senate. Sen. Mitch McConnell/Senate Minority Leader "Negotiation isn't a luxury it's a necessity and until Senate Democrats accept that reality, these crises will only be harder to resolve." This week, Senate Democrats reportedly plan to introduce a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Speaker Boehner says it wouldn't pass the House without concessions attached. Shane Goldmacher/National Journal "It looks like both sides are dug in and hoping the public will push the other side into a more losing position. Nobody's making any major concessions publicly or privately." In exchange for a debt limit increase, House Republicans have said they want spending cuts or other deficit reduction measures. #### IN NEWS ACROSS AMERICA...QUESTIONS OVER WHY POLICE USED

Plans to build Vietnam's second oil refinery, which comes with a price tag of between $8 billion and $10 billion, has been hampered for years due to financing issues between the Vietnamese government and the two main partners, Japan's Idemitsu Kosan and Kuwait Petroleum.
By VU TRONG KHANH and JACOB GRONHOLT-PEDERSEN
Vietnam said Wednesday it has agreed with foreign investors to
begin construction of a long-delayed oil
refinery, while also stepping up
plans to build the country's first nuclear power plant jointly
with its Soviet-era ally, Russia.
The projects move ahead as confidence in Vietnam's economy
has been rocked amid surging inflation, corruption scandals and
a banking sector threatened by bad debts, mostly to the
country's vast state-owned sector.
The developing Asian nation until recently was seen as a
darling among global investors, but they have increasingly
turned their back on the country, whose economic growth is
forecast to slow to 5.2% this year, the weakest in 13
Plans to build Vietnam's second oil refinery, which comes with a price
tag of between $8 billion and $10 billion, has been hampered
for years due to financing issues between the Vietnamese
government and the two main partners, Japan's Idemitsu Kosan
and Kuwait Petroleum.
Banks had been unwilling to lend to the project without underwriting from
the Vietnamese government, but talks intensified after the
government agreed to help underwrite some of the project in August.
"We have completed talks and all the remaining issues have
been solved," chairman Phung Dinh Thuc of state-run Vietnam Oil
and Gas Group, or PetroVietnam, said Wednesday.
An Idemitsu Kosan spokesman confirmed the deal, while a
spokesman at Kuwait Petroleum was not immediately able to
The construction comes amid a refining boom in the Asia-Pacific
region to satisfy growing demand for oil products. Asia is seen
as the main driver of global growth in oil consumption in the
coming years, and the region is set to receive more crude from
the Middle East and Africa as demand slows in Europe and North America becomes
less dependent on imports.
The new 200,000 bpd Nghi Son refinery will mainly
process crude supplied by Kuwait Petroleum. Vietnam's sole Dung
Quat refinery with a capacity of 130,000 bpd runs mainly on
domestic crude, but has been mired by operational problems and
unexpected shutdowns.
Operations at the Nghi Son refinery, which will be built 180
kilometres south of the capital Hanoi, were initially planned
to begin in 2014.
Under a new plan, the partners will sign a deal with foreign
contractors in December with operations slated to begin in the
second quarter of 2016, Mr. Thuc said.
Idemitsu Kosan and Kuwait Petroleum each hold a 35.1% stake
in the planned refinery, while PetroVietnam and
Mitsui Chemicals own 25.1% and 4.7%, respectively.
Mr. Thuc declined to name the contracted companies for the
project. But local media have earlier quoted him as saying a
consortium comprising Japan's JGC Corp., French firm Technip,
Spanish firm Technicas and PetroVietnam Construction JSC had been chosen for
the project.

Unless the VN government cracks down on corruption and puts financial responsibility on each company's directors I doubt foreign investment will continue. Currently the directors are family members of the party leaders and have no expertise, are not punished for their bad decisions. The ensuing debts mus be absorbed by the population. Who will dare put their money in the hands of corrupt, incompetent, irresponsible people ?

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

The 6 Most Horrifying Ways Anyone Ever Got Rich
Some people will do anything for money. And we mean freaking anything.
We're telling you right now, this is not for those with weak stomachs or a generally positive view of humanity. Because sometimes when there's a paycheck on the line, people will do things that would make Eli Roth puke.
#6. Belle Gunness Torches Her Way to Riches
The key to life is to turn your failures into successes. Just ask Bell Gunness, who managed to succeed despite a series of devastating fires. Granted, she started the fires, but we like to think the point still stands.
Belle Gunness emigrated from Norway to the USA in 1881. She quickly married and set up a candy store that failed to make any money. One year later it burned to the ground but, fortunately, it was insured. She used the money to buy a house in Austin. In 1898, it burned to the ground. Thankfully, it also was insured. In 1900, her husband, Max Sorenson, burned to the grou- oh, no, he died. He had, though, just taken out two insurance policies.
Belle used the money to buy a farm in La Porte, Indiana. Soon after moving in, the boat and carriage house burned to the ground. You see a pattern emerging here?
In 1902, Belle's second husband, Peter Gunness died (when a large sausage grinding machine "accidentally" fell on him). Belle, who had the world's most trusting insurance company, got paid on her claim for $3,000.
Needing a good man to accompany her through all of life's troubles and mysterious fires, Belle sent advertisements to Norwegian language papers asking for a mate. Over the next two years a number of suitors turned up at Belle's farm, took out life insurance policies, and promptly disappeared.
Finally on April 28, 1908, in the aftermath of yet another fire at the Gunness farm, police found four bodies in the basement; one adult and three children. The adult was thought to be Belle, but was hard to identify because the head was missing.
Authorities, finding this whole scene slightly suspicious, began digging up Belle's back yard. They found the remains of 12 bodies and numerous body parts. They never found Belle's head, despite the best efforts of her insurance company's agents who probably just wanted to give it a check.
How Much Did She Make?
It is estimated Belle made $30,000 from the various husbands who got sucked in by the newspaper ad, and maybe as much as $250,000 overall. It sounds impressive, but considering the sheer number of bodies she left in her path, we think it works out to like, six dollars per victim.
#5. Burke and Hare Sell Their Bodies (Well, Not Theirs)
William Burke and William Hare set out to make their money in the same fashion as any young up and coming entrepreneur living in 19th century Britain: by stealing dead bodies for dissection.
A pretty gruesome way to make a living, sure. But such was the demand for corpses (for medical students to practice on) that it was a pretty popular crime and one generally overlooked by the authorities, since the victims were already dead and all. Burke and Hare made their first buck from the trade when a tenant in Hare's lodging house died. They took the body and sold it to Edinburgh Medical College for seven pounds.
It didn't take long before the pair started thinking about how they could make their operation more productive. The two thought outside of the box. You know, the box people were buried in. That's right, these savvy young lads cut out the middle man and just started killing people on their own.
"I gotta tell you, this is so much easier than digging up graves.
Over 18 months, Burke and Hare, along with their wives, killed 16 people. First they killed their tenants, then, when their supply ran out, they started luring people to the apartment.
Unfortunately for the pair, one of Hare's tenants became suspicious after finding a dead body under a bed and alerted the police. Hare was given immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony against Burke. As a result Burke was hanged in 1829, his body given to medical students to dissect according the British rules of ironic punishment.
How Much Did They Make?
At the rate these guys were going, it seems like they'd have had to slaughter a whole city to make a decent living. Burke kept a diary about the murders and wrote in one entry: "July 1. Sold the Englishman for L10. Kept the whole money, for Hare's conduct to me."
So these jackasses killed 16 people that we know about, yet still haggled over a few bucks here and there. It almost seems like they could have, you know, just gotten jobs instead.
#4. Marcus Licinius Crassus: Fire Fighter for Profit
Marcus Licinius Crassus was a Roman general and politician who commanded his legions around 70 BC. He's credited with creating the first fire brigade, though he probably wasn't thought of as highly of as FDNY since his primary motivation for putting out fires was to extort money from the property owners.
It all began when Crassus noticed the tendency of buildings in Rome to burn down, due to being built too high and close together and with large wooden support beams. To capitalize on this, he bought 500 slaves and put together a fire brigade. Then, he'd show up at the scene of the fire and make the owner a deal. It went something like this:
"Sell me your building, or I'll let it burn down along with everything you own. I'll give you 30 Talents."
"Ah come on Crassus, I bought it for 72 Talents. And I added that deck!"
"20 Talents for the house pal."
"I'll take 80. 80 Talents." (Noise of building collapsing in on itself)
"10 Talents bud. Time's running out. You take it or you get nothing."
"Yeah, I smell the fire, but I'm not even turning around until you show me some money. Tick tock."
It was kind of like how a fire department would work under the Libertarians. Not only would Crassus buy the house that was burning down, he'd buy the neighbouring houses that were at risk of catching fire. He'd then set the slaves to work putting out the blaze and rebuild any damaged houses, to be sold later at an enormous profit.
How Much Did He Make?
Crassus eventually amassed a fortune almost equal to that of the annual income of the Roman Treasury. He accumulated over 7,100 talents, or 200 million Sestertii. We have no idea what either of those things are but we do know he's listed as one of the 10 richest men in history.
Later Crassus went off to war in Parthia (modern day Iran). His soldiers demanded he parley with the Parthians who had offered to meet him. At the meeting Crassus was seized, tortured and had molten silver poured down his throat to sate his thirst for wealth.
And that, Mr. Obama, is why you don't negotiate with Iran.

Given a Shimura variety $S$, is it possible to imbed $S$ as a special Subvariety of the Siegel modular variety $A_{g,N}$, for some $g$ and level $N$? I expect that the answer is yes, essentially since every semisimple group over $\mathbb{Q}$ should imbed into $GL_n$ via its adjoint representation, and $GL_n$ imbeds into $SP_{2n}$. However, I'm a bit worried about the business regarding weights.
Thank you, Jacob

Celebrate Valentines Day in the Glorious Teton Mountains
Posted by admin in Valentines Vacation on February 9th, 2012
I've always had a soft spot for Valentine's Day. Not because I'm an incurable romantic or that I fall into the Hallmark trap and send schmaltzy cards filled with honey-dripping prose to everyone I love. It's simply a day that will always remind me of my dad. I don't actually remember my father making a big deal out of our birthdays nor other special occasions throughout the year, but boy, would he ever shine on Valentine's Day. He religiously would show up after work with beautiful red velvet boxes, graced with big red satin bows and filled with delectable chocolates for my mom and my sisters and of course me.
Sadly my dad has since passed. I miss him lots more than I do the chocolates on Valentine's Day. However, I have discovered that there are much better ways to celebrate this time-honored occasion showcasing universal love and the deepest of human connections. We all know Valentine's day is not just about romantic love but more about sharing and expressing generosity of heart to our friends, family, and of course, our partners. There are so many interesting ways to commemorate Valentine's Day (or month!) besides the Whitman's Sampler or a dozen brilliant roses, which will most likely wilt much faster than your enthusiasm for the great outdoors (and definitely set you back more than a full day lift ticket and cruising one of the manicured slopes at Grand TargheeResort).
If you're lucky enough to reside in, or simply visit Teton Valley in February, there are options galore for glorious mountain adventures. Teton Springs Lodge & Spa offers a one night, one day Ski and Lodge Package, which is both affordable and romantic. This lodge drips with intimate atmosphere.
Relax in Luxury at Teton Springs after a Day on the Slopes
After your day of playing in Targhee's knee-deep powder, you're more than ready for a couples massage back at the Stillwaters Spa at Teton Springs.
This facility is truly lovely with a staff to match and Stillwaters offers every spa treatment you can imagine. You will be pampered every moment you're at Teton Springs, 100% top of the line for you, and everything at our Lodge and Spa.
However, if it's you and your sweetie sharing this time at Teton Springs, I would highly recommend a couple's massage in their duo suite.
An added bonus – it just so happens these folks are offering this and other Cupid specials during the entire month of February!
|For You…
|For you & your sweetheart
|For you & your friends
|only $125… a $150 value!
|only $200… a $250 value!
|$50 each person (minimum of 4)
Other goodies come with these special February treatments so be sure to ask the staff for complete details when you book.
Another terrific way to spend a day with your sweetie or good friends is a snowshoe trek up Teton Canyon. This could very well be one of the most dramatic vistas on earth – you're treated to breathtaking Teton views every step of the way. Take a lunch, take a break and soak in the sights!
Snowmobiling, Yellowstone Park, Waterfalls, Hot Springs & More
Another unique way to ring in Valentine's Day is a snowmobile trip into Yellowstone National Park.
Winter season in America's first national park is both mesmerizing and unforgettable, not to mention undeniably romantic! Snuggle up on the sled and watch Old Faithful erupt and then continue on to Geyser Basin, the geological wonder famous worldwide or head to the Firehole River Canyon and watch abundant wildlife take their afternoon dip. Another cool option is a snowmobile trip to eastern Idaho's Mesa Falls located on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Watching these thundering falls engulfed in a sea of steam will raise anyone's heart rate.
Another type of sled for a trip-of-a-lifetime excursion is one powered by the paws. Load up into a warm, comfy dog sled, settle back and enjoy the ride. Your musher is a local expert and knows exactly where the best wildlife viewing is along the way to Granite Hot Springs. Tucked deep in the Gros Ventre Mountains, your reward at the end of this trail is a glorious soak in the healing waters of the natural hot springs.
The list could go on and on. There are indeed plenty of ways to enjoy Valentine's Day in this Yellowstone-Teton region. Sample an outing or two that will surely revive your sense of adventure and perhaps even awaken the romanticism that dwells in all of us. Ask the nice people at Teton Springs to help plan your trip. They are the experts and it's guaranteed that this visit will surely make your heart flutter. So, get outside this February – it sure beats chocolate!

If I start in Vancouver, there are certainly trains heading east and north (and south). What I want to know is how far north I can get using just trains, if I start in Vancouver, BC? And are they running during all seasons?
The Pacific route is a beautiful route! Expensive, but beautiful none the less.
Regardless, your prognosis is not good; you'll have to double back East to head North, and you'll only go as far as Prince Rupert. (Screenshot from www.viarail.ca)
I would go with if I didn't have a job!

Our newly scheduled performance dates are Saturday, May 22nd at 8:00 pm & Sunday, May 23rd at 5:00 pm at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater. The CCBM will perform the full length DON QUIXOTE, in collaboration with Cia Brasileira de Ballet from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I knew this, but didn't mention it because I could not find an official announcement. For what I understand, CCBM is done for good.
I believe that the audience of CCBM deserves to be notified that Pedro Pablo Pena is no longer working with Magaly Suarez (aka "Mamicha"). For those who plan on attending this Don Q, please be aware that she is not involved and that her dancers (both that she trained, as well as guests) such as Taras Domitro, Miguel Angel Blanco, Jordan-Elizabeth Long, and others, will not be taking part in this production.

Balls (testicles, nuts); the way a bum utters the word "balls." A slackish fashion in which to say the word "balls." Such a pronunciation denotes two things: 1. the speaker is using the common slang term for testicles (the term in not used to refer to objects such as baseballs, basketballs, etc.); and 2. the speaker is slack-jawed, speaking in an overly oafish or relaxed fashion, thus the alteration of the standard pronunciation.

So some background: I play League of Legends (LoL) religiously and have a strong background in A.I. programming. In an attempt to put 2 and 2 together I've been trying to implement a bot for playing LoL, but have stymied by having to extract game-state information without access to the source code.
With that in mind, does anyone know of a MOBA that could sate my bot developing urges via being open-source? Alternatively, do you know if any AAA game companies (e.g. RIOT, Blizzard, Valve) would release some of their code (or even just an API) for research purposes (I'm in academia, so I could probably pass off my fascination as work related)?

Great product!!!
Comment:I bought the whole kit back in 2000. I lived within an area in Maryland that was always losing power in the winter. The installation instructions were straight forward. I didn't have any problems, and the inlet box and transfer switch worked as intended. Now that I have moved, I am buying another kit of the transfer switch and inlet box for my new house. I still have my old generator.International Traveler

Easy install
Comment:Even being an old time handyman I must admit I was a little intimidated when I first looked at the install of a manual switch. Not to worry!!! This was one of the easiest installs I have done. The final product is excellent and I am very happy with my "insurance plan" should the power go out.John The Golfer

Great Product
Comment:Easiest to install if your box is surface mounted like shown on the installation video, however, if your box is inside the garage wall it makes the instalation more challenging. You have to cut a hole in the wall to get to the breaker box and repair the hole afterward. Howerever, after assemble the transfer box worked like advertised.Adirondack

Lactose intolerance facts
- Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest lactose, the main sugar in milk, that gives rise to gastrointestinal symptoms.
- Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the intestinal enzyme lactase that splits lactose into two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose, and allows lactose to be absorbed from the intestine.
- The primary symptoms of lactose intolerance are diarrhea, flatulence (passing gas), and abdominal pain. Abdominal bloating, abdominal distention, and nausea also may occur.
- Lactose intolerance can be diagnosed by eliminating lactose from the diet, milk challenge, breath test, blood glucose test, stool acidity test, and intestinal biopsy.
- Lactose intolerance is treated with dietary changes, supplements of lactase enzyme, and adaptation to increasing amounts of milk.
- Avoidance of milk and milk-containing products can lead to a dietary deficiency of calcium and vitamin D that, in turn, can lead to bone disease (osteoporosis).
What is lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest and absorb lactose (the sugar in milk) that results in gastrointestinal symptoms when milk or food products containing milk are consumed.
What causes lactose intolerance?
Lactose is a large sugar molecule that is made up of two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose. In order for lactose to be absorbed from the intestine and into the body, it must first be split into glucose and galactose. The glucose and galactose are then absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine. The enzyme that splits lactose into glucose and galactose is called lactase, and it is located on the surface of the cells lining the small intestine.
Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced or absent activity of lactase that prevents the splitting of lactose (lactase deficiency). Lactase deficiency may occur for one of three reasons, congenital, secondary or developmental.
Congenital causes of lactose intolerance
Lactase deficiency may occur because of a congenital absence (absent from birth) of lactase due to a mutation in the gene that is responsible for producing lactase. This is a very rare cause of lactase deficiency, and the symptoms of this type of lactase deficiency begin shortly after birth.
Secondary causes of lactose intolerance
Another cause of lactase deficiency is secondary lactase deficiency. This type of deficiency is due to diseases that destroy the lining of the small intestine along with the lactase. An example of such a disease is celiac sprue.
Developmental causes of lactose intolerance
The most common cause of lactase deficiency is a decrease in the amount of lactase that occurs after childhood and persists into adulthood, referred to as adult-type hypolactasia. This decrease in lactase is genetically programmed, and the prevalence of this type of lactase deficiency in different ethnic groups is highly variable. Lactose intolerance is most common among Asians, affecting more than 90 % of adults in some communities. People with ancestry from Northern Europe, on the other hand, have a 5% rate of lactose intolerance. In addition to variability in the prevalence of lactase deficiency, there also is variability in the age at which symptoms of lactose intolerance appear.
It is important to emphasize that lactase deficiency is not the same as lactose intolerance. Persons with milder deficiencies of lactase often have no symptoms after the ingestion of milk. For unclear reasons, even persons with moderate deficiencies of lactase may not have symptoms. A diagnosis of lactase deficiency is made when the amount of lactase in the intestine is reduced, but a diagnosis of lactose intolerance is made only when the reduced amount of lactase causes symptoms.

WHEELING - U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin has offered a diplomatic option as an alternative to missile strikes on Syria in response to allegations that the nation used chemical weapons against its citizens.
Manchin, D-W.Va., proposed a Senate joint resolution calling for Syria to sign the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, which prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention and use of chemical weapons. If the government of Syria does not sign and comply with the convention within 45 days after the date it is adopted by Congress, "all elements of national power will be considered by the United States Government," states the resolution introduced by Manchin and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D.
The measure also gives President Barack Obama 45 days to submit to Congress a long-term strategy for Syria "while concurrently using all appropriate diplomatic tools to develop and secure commitments from the international community," according to its language.
"Being a 'super-power' means more than just using super-military might," Manchin said. "It means super-diplomacy, it means super-humanitarian aid and super-restraint. All that goes with that title.
"After a decade of war, trillions of dollars spent, and many thousands of lives lost, I don't think we've changed the direction of that area of the world - nor do I believe we're going to change the direction," he added. "If money or military might would have done it, after 12 years and almost $2 trillion we would have seen a change. We haven't."
The president's report to Congress would have to contain a statement of America's strategic goals in Syria, as well as specific objectives, benchmarks to be accomplished and a desired end date.
Specifics about the U.S. policy toward Syria also would have to be included.
Manchin noted he attended briefings all last week pertaining to Syria as a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee and also sat in on those of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and all of the Obama administration's classified briefings.
While Manchin called Syria's use of chemical weapons against its people "barbaric," he opposes military strikes there and believes the U.S. should not act to help take out the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Manchin fears al-Qaida forces would instead rise to power in the country if the current government is overthrown.
"I have to ask, why are we the only ones going it alone?" Manchin said. "Why has it risen to the level that we should be the one acting?
"If the Arab League is not willing to go in and help their people and take the lead - if the rest of the international community is not willing to come to their aid for different reasons - why should we be forced with a vote that would have us going it alone?"
The other question to ask is whether Syria presents an imminent threat to the American people, Manchin added.
"I do not believe there is an imminent threat to America, and I do not believe a military strike is the right course of action at this time," he said. "We have to give diplomacy time to work. ... We don't have a timetable. ... We can do damage at any time without telegraphing it."

text: BELLAIRE - The Ohio Department of Taxation recently notified county auditors that their estimated revenues for calendar year 2014 have probably changed. According to Rep. Jack Cera (D-Bellaire), many counties will suffer another blow to their respective Local Government Funds (LGF) due to these additional cuts. According to the Department of Taxation, the change in the estimated figure is due to the impact tax law changes in House Bill 59 (the state budget bill).

Hi guys,
testing settings for NN equipment I have just turned to the new Beta version of PTGui.
Besides new features like the "grid" to align blue skies without CP to be ready to stitch, there a special changes to improve our pano work.
Using fisheye lenses, you had to change "minimize lens distortion" by clicking "heavy and lens shift" in optimizer. Now this is set by default. Less work. Thx Joost!
For me the most important change:
besides "align to Grid" for blue skies or gigapixel panos this is the improvement of the automatic control point generator for fisheye images: "will find more control points which are better spread out over the entire overlap area". This is true!!
I used the new beta version to find LRS on different NN Panoheads with different Nikon Bodies. I compared the Cp in the control point tab in the old version of PTGui to the new one. They are really spread in a better way. In vertical and horizontal. Less bulks.
Using Smooth's Circle Saw Method to find the LRS, I imported the pics to PTGui, aligned, >advanced, >optimizer, >heavy and lens shift - not necessary in the new version, optimized, >Control point in top tab, >Delete worst control points, and it says 5...6...4...8 to delete to get a max distance >2.
Since I use the beta version, I still try "delete worst CP", "nothing to delete", results are below max distance of 2.
Besides several other new functions for me this the next big step in PTGui since the masking function.
Thx a lot Joost.
This is why I stay with NN Products and PTGuiPro and I am very happy with this:
Joost, Nick and Bill listen to their customers and they are always ready for a "surprise".
Thx a lot to you guys.

I followed this recipe but added some cinnamon and nutmeg and used 1/2 chopped almonds and 1/2 ground oats for the 3/4 c. oats. I also substituted raw cacao nibs by Navitas for the chocolate chips. They are so much healthier and more delicious now! I wanted a simple, healthy, cookie to make for my little brother in college who needs something he can grab that is healthy, a treat and has lots of energy and some protein.
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
179 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had to keep reducing the baking time, as they were way overdone. 10 minutes was about right, but the cookies were nothing special. They just tasted like sugar. A lot of calories for a mediocre cookie.
I used 3/4 steel cut oats and 1/4 c flaxseed. I put those into the blender to grind them up. I also used applesauce instead of butter. I'm not sure how much applesauce I used, but I had to add more flour to get it to cookie dough consistency. My daughter was helping, so I adjusted it according to her taste. She wanted it sweeter, so I added more applesauce, then I would have to add more flour.
They came out chewy and muffin-like, but they taste great!
These cookies are fantastic just as written but it also is a fabulous base recipe that you can easily modify for variety. I have cut sugar even lower by using Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and Truvia Baking Blend - just remember to use HALF the amount of these substitutes otherwise it is too sweet. I also make a double batch of the cookie dough and freeze it in individual cookie portions. That way when hubby or I want cookies, we can bake just 6 or so and not have extras sitting around - excellent way to portion control sweets.
I made this cookie recipe earlier this evening, and I thought it was excellent! I'm trying to get my family to eat more whole grain foods.

Today is worth two tomorrows.
thx for sharing another of your great shots. I like the place you haven chosen for the tripod, in between the sides of the valley, the possibility of the Louis XIV french view: the gate to the far away landscape. Shadows and the sunny site , nice colour. I like it..
Could you please add your exif data. I feel it might help people thinking to buy a new lens, to get a good decision by comparing different panoramas with different equipment.
I enjoyed Rob.
really nice place and pano keep up the good work

Sure thing. Shot with Canon Xsi/450D with Tokina 10-17mm 1/60th @ F10 ISO 200 and bracketed +-2.
As an FYI I used to shoot using a Sigma F3.5 8mm fisheye but have recently added the Tokina and, in my opinion, the
Tokina gives superior results, especially re sharpness and, as an added bonus, it is quite a bit cheaper than the Sigma 8mm.
Today is worth two tomorrows.
I believe this is some of your best work yet!
Thx Rob for your information.
When I see this, I believe it was a good choice to change to Tokina 10 - 17mm. Me too, I am disappointed from the sharpness of the Sigma. I will try to set up some example that people can compare lenses.
Might be I will change the Sigma. But first I will do some more tests.
I have yet to hear disappointment from anyone jumping from the Sigma 8 to Tokina 10-17.
If anyone has an old Sigma 8mm lens (Nikon or Canon) they would like to sell please contact me directly - bill-at-nodalninja-dot-com.

For those of you who have been teaching Spinning® for a while now.. did you get stuck in certain teaching habits? Not sure what I mean, but interested? Please read on..
Now take a look at the 5 latest rides your created. To be more specific, the 5 last Interval Energy Zone™ rides you made.
What kind of interval were they? Extensive interval, intensive interval training, all terrain rides, aerobic, anaerobic? All 5 different rides, or all 5 pretty similar, but with different music?
Many times I see that instructor get crusted in old habits. They have found a specific way of building their classes in all of the Energy Zones, using the same kind of music. As they keep teaching these classes, they get more comfortable in teaching this profile. As a result the participants get used to this as well and they know what they can expect. Sounds ok you might think.
However, building similar profiles every time does not really help your participants reach their goals and improve their fitness levels. As adaptation of the body occurs. The effect of the training will become less if your students have the same workout every time they ride the Spinner® bike.
By offering different profiles to them, their bodies will learn to train in several areas. Further it will not only keep THEM focused and sharp, it will do the same for YOU. As you break away from doing the same old story over and over again.
I would love to share a little example of a class I taught last week. It was an Interval training and as I took over this class from one of my colleagues the participants did not know what to expect. I created an extensive interval training using the flats only. Seated flat and running. When I first started the class I explained what they could expect. While looking around I noticed that some of them were not certain whether they would like it or not. After 20 minutes their focus had grown so intense that you could hear a pin drop (if I would switch off the music). At the end of the class the energy level was so high and every single person on the bike had given everything they got without losing any of the focus. They loved it and both them and I were so proud at their effort.
Take time to think about a new ride, what will be your goals, do you know any of your students goals? As you start creating a nice fresh profile you will grow as an instructor and you will be inspired to use your creativity for more new rides. Just step out of your box and don't be afraid to feel free!
Have a great Sunday!

KILLEEN (August 30, 2012)-A woman suffering from Usher Syndrome Type 2 claims that the Scott and White Security at a clinic in Killeen questioned the use of her service dog.
Around 20,000 people on the planet have Usher Syndrome Type 2.
"I'm legally blind and nearly deaf. I can't hear you, and I won't be able to understand you unless I read your lips," Jackie Hollenbeck said.
Hollenbeck takes her service dog, a chocolate Doberman named Hershey, wherever she goes.
When she goes in for medical treatments once a week at the Scott and White Clinic in East Killeen, Hershey guides her there.
But Hollenbeck claims that security at the clinic badgers her about having a service dog.
"The guards there were asking me if I had papers, if I had certification, if I had documentation, and if I had anything to prove that he was a service dog," Hollenbeck said.
Hollenbeck says many question Hershey as a service dog simply because he is a Doberman. But she feels that the harness on his back should be enough proof.
"I feel insulted, I feel degraded, and I feel like the center of attention...like a circus freak," Hollenbeck said.
The Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, defines a service animal as:
Any dog, signal dog, or other animal that's trained to give assistance to someone with a disability.
It goes on to say, that no one can even ask a disabled person for proof of service certification before permitting the animal to accompany them.
"I don't understand why anyone should have to go through being humiliated, you know telling people about your disabilities," Hollenbeck said.
"It's obvious the guide dog is to help me with mine."
Since July, Jackie's spent more and more time at the clinic explaining why Hershey shouldn't be bothered.
She's grabbed the attention of Patient Relations at Scott and White. They reached out to Jackie wanting to build a newsletter educating their staff on service dogs.
"I answered the phone and was like 'Ok are you going to be my advocate now?' And they said yes," Hollenbeck said.
Scott and White sent us a statement saying:
We are patient-centered, and our patients' needs are our primary consideration. Scott & White Healthcare has an operating policy that covers access to our facilities for patients with service animals, and Scott & White is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
On Wednesday, Hollenbeck and Hershey went to the clinic and weren't given any problems.
But she still doesn't understand why it's taken nearly two months to get a little respect.
"I mean 1 time is enough, but 4 times in a row from the same establishment? That's disrespecting your rights beyond belief," Hollenbeck said.

ARDMORE, OK -- United Way of South Central Oklahoma is having their annual kickoff event Monday evening from 4:30 to 7:30 at Mountain View Mall in Ardmore. Campaign Drive Chair Al Schneider says all 33 of United Way's agencies will be there so the public can get to know the agencies and learn what services are available to them.
He says he's been touched to see what amazing work the organizations have been able to provide.
"It was just amazing visiting the agencies, and seeing how many people that they try to help, and then the lives that they can affect and they way that they can be affected," Schneider said.
CASA of Southern Oklahoma is one of the non-profit organizations under United Way. They say their mission is "to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courts". Executive Director Lynn Riley says this year they've served about 224 children, and with the financial help from United Way they've been able to provide for many kids' needs.
"We had one little boy that wanted to be in the band, and the CASA went out to the pawn shops and found a trombone for him, and we were able to purchase that," Riley said.
United Way of South Central Oklahoma Executive Director Tobi Ervin says there's an organization in the area for any community need, and says you may never know when you or a family member might need one of them to lean on.
"You may go home tomorrow and open the door and your house explodes in a blaze. Well if you got your children with you Red Cross is going to be there to make sure that they've got clothes to wear to school the next day," Ervin said.
For the next couple months United Way and its agencies will be fundraising to try and meet their goal of 800,000 dollars. All the money raised will be dispersed among all the organizations.
To donate and learn more you can visit United Way of South Central Oklahoma's website at www.uwsco.org.

Engi are naturally faster at making repairs. Does extinguishing fires count as a repair action?
My answer to your question is two-fold: it works on the output end, but not on the experience end. I watched the repair experience meter as my crewmember put out a large fire, and nothing changed. However, it does seem like their effectiveness at extinguishing it relies on that repair skill. In response to your edit, I would assume that yes, classes more suited to repairs are more suited to putting out fires. However, I have no clue if the Rockman attribute of stomping on fires affects this.
My answer to this question will be Yes, extinguishing fires counts as repairing. My current repair-skill-upgraded Engi extinguishes fire squares in less than a second per square. The only explanation is that fires are treated as repair actions.
Thanks @Winterswift and @Aslum for the additional information
Apparently while extinguishing DOES count as a repair action, and receives benifits from leveling the repair statistic, it does not give experience as if the crew-member actually repaired something.
