University of Arizona ranked #1 among US Universities and #4 among institutions worldwide for top-cited environmental science publications
An article published recently in the peer-reviewed journal Science of the Total Environment found the University of Arizona to be the most productive university in the United States for top-cited publications pertaining to the field of "environmental science"—and the fourth most productive institution in this regard worldwide.
The authors employed the Thompson Reuters Web of Science database to measure institutional contributions to 181 environmental science journals listed in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). Productivity of the UA was exceeded worldwide only by the U.S. Geological Survey, Brunel University (UK), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which were ranked 1-3 respectively.
The same study found the United States to be by far the most productive country in respect to publications in environmental science.
The authors define environmental science as a "multi-disciplinary field" that "specifically focuses on water, air, soil and climate research." UA's strength in this area derives from the breadth and depth of faculty, students and staff in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science, School of Natural Resources and Environment), the College of Science (Departments of Atmospheric Science, Geosciences, Hydrology and Water Resources) and the College of Engineering (Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering).
The USGS actually maintains a regional office on the UA campus with strong program connections in the CALS and other colleges.
"Together with the USGS, we have two of the top five environmental research powers cited in the article co-located here, making Tucson a global nucleus and leader for environmental science research," said Shane Burgess, vice provost and CALS dean.
The UA confers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Environmental Science through the Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science (SWES). CALS faculty lead several inter-college research efforts such as the NIH-funded Superfund Research Program (www.superfund.pharmacy.arizona.edu), the NSF-funded Critical Zone Observatory (www.czo.arizona.edu), and the Santa Rita Experimental Range (http://www.snr.arizona.edu/project/srer).
The article by Khan and Ho indicates that these and many other similar efforts across the UA campus are giving rise to impactful environmental science publications in the top cited journals in the field.

U.S. housing construction jumps to 4-year high
|In this Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, photo, new homes are constructed in Edmond, Okla. U.S. builders started construction on single-family homes and apartments in September at the fastest rate since July 2008, a further indication that the housing recovery is strengthening. The Commerce Department said Wednesda, Sept. 17, 2012, that builders broke ground on homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000 in September. That's an increase of 15 percent from the August level. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki,)
WASHINGTON — U.S. builders started construction on homes in September at the fastest rate since July 2008 and made plans to build even more homes in the coming months. The gains show the housing recovery is strengthening and could help the economy grow.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that home construction rose 15 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000. Single-family construction rose 11 percent to the fastest rate in four years. Apartment building increased 25.1 percent.

LOLShirts Pre-Thanksgiving Sale: 40% Off All Text-Based Shirts
coupon code: TURKEY
Text is the new image! Which means images are the new text? Why does everybody have to move around all the time?
6 Comments add a comment
Still ends up being a smidge over $10 (see $10.38) which is weak for a text based shirt.
Plus their shipping takes like a month.
true that.. i got a sharpie
Why can't I see a subtotal on the "place order" page? I want to know what I'm actually paying before I click that "place order" button.
Before you pay it will show a total, but the percentage taken off the shirts comes to 20% and not 40%. I had four shirts picked out, but with shipping it will come to 50 bucks. Not going to do it.
@foosmaniac: Were all of the shirts you had in your cart text-based shirts? My best guess would be that half of them were, and half of them were not.
You were right--it is only on the text based--oops

I've just received my Essentials books. Perusing the Heroes of the Adjective Noun books, the classes have and receive at-wills, encounter, daily and utility powers as they start and level.
On the other hand, one criticism I've read of the Essentials series is that somehow the martial characters (at least) do away with the AEDU structure. What do those people mean?
EDIT When I asked "What does AEDU mean?", @Baelnorn commented
Just an addition: a contrast would be some classes from Essentials (like the Knight, or Slayer, or Thief) who lack the traditional composition of AEDU powers seen in PHb1/2/3.
Then the question would be "What is that traditional composition of AEDU powers, and how has it changed in Essentials?"

I think we are all familiar with database normalization.
My question is: What are some guidelines that you use when you want to denormalize the tables?
I think we are all familiar with database normalization.
My question is: What are some guidelines that you use when you want to denormalize the tables?
Denormalize when it's OLAP operations, normalize when OLTP (from linked article under section Denormalization)
One potentially sensible reason to apply controlled denormalization is if it enables you to apply some integrity constraint to the data that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Most SQL DBMSs have extremely limited support for multi-table constraints. In SQL sometimes the only effective way to implement certain constraints is to ensure that the attributes involved in the constraint are all present in the same table - even when normalization would dictate that they belong in separate tables.
Controlled denormalization means that mechanisms are implemented to ensure that inconsistences can't arise due to redundant data. The cost of these extra controls and the risk of inconsistent data need to be considered when deciding whether denormalization is worthwhile.
Another common reason for denormalization is to permit some change in storage structures or allow some other physical optimization that the DBMS wouldn't otherwise permit. According to the principle of Physical Data Independence a DBMS ought to have the means to configure internal storage structures without needlessly altering the logical representation of data in the database. Unfortunately many DBMSs are very restrictive of the physical implementation options available for any given database schema. They tend to compromise physical database independence by only supporting a sub-optimal implementation of the desired logical model.
It ought to be obvious but it still needs to be said: in all cases it is only changes in physical implementation features that can dictate performance - features such as internal data structures, files, indexing, hardware and so forth. Normalization and denormalization have nothing to do with performance or storage optimization.
Normalize until it hurts, denormalize until it works (i.e.: performance becomes acceptable) :)
I routinely denormalize so that I can enforce data integrity with constraints. One example is a recent question on this site - I replicate a column in another table, so that I can use a CHECK constraint to compare it to another column. Another example of this technique is my blog post.
You cannot use CHECK constraints to compare columns in different rows or in different tables, unless you wrap such functionality in scalar UDFs invoked form a CHECK constraint. What if you actually need to compare columns in different rows or in different tables to enforce a business rule? For example, suppose that you know working hours of a doctor, and you want to make sure that all appointments fit within working hours? Of course, you can use a trigger or a stored procedure to implement this business rule, but neither a trigger nor a stored procedure can give you a 100% guarantee that all your data is clean – someone can disable or drop your trigger, enter some dirty data, and re-enable or recreate your trigger. Also someone can directly modify your table bypassing stored procedures. Either way you can end up with data violating your business rule without knowing about it.
Let me demonstrate how to implement this business rule using only FK and CHECK constraints – that will guarantee that all the data satisfies the business rule as long as all the constraints are trusted.
Yet another example is a way to enforce that periods of time have no gaps and no overlaps.
Denormalize if you are frequently accessing computed data, as is suggested in the answers to this question. The cost of storing and maintaining the computed data will often be less than the cost of re-computing it over and over if your load profile is read-heavy.

WASHINGTON The high-security laboratories that study such deadly diseases as anthrax and plague lack national standards and strategy, putting the country at risk, a congressional watchdog reported on Monday.
The United States has made no overall assessment of its need for the labs, including research priorities, and the number of labs is unknown, said the report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress.
The facilities, known as high-containment laboratories, also are being built to local standards since there are no national guidelines for their design, construction and operations, the GAO said in a followup to a 2009 study on the labs.
"The cost of building and maintaining high-containment laboratories, combined with the current lack of national standards and the uncertainty about the number of high-containment laboratories needed to address priorities, exposes the nation to risk," the report said.
In one instance of lack of standards, the report said, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) high-containment lab in Atlanta had its power knocked out in 2007 by lightning. The outage shut down the air pressure system that kept dangerous pathogens from escaping.
Unknown to CDC officials, a construction crew digging nearby had cut a grounding cable. CDC officials have said that local building codes did not require monitoring of the grounding system.
The study mentioned a British independent review that put part of the blame for a 2007 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in England on shabby facilities and substandard practices at the Pirbright government research center.
Last month, the newspaper USA Today reported that government audits had repeatedly cited CDC laboratories for failing to secure potential bioterror agents such as anthrax and plague, and for not training employees who work with them.
The United States also has no reliable source for the number of such high-security labs, the GAO reported.
The GAO estimated that the total had risen to 1,495 in 2010 from 1,362 in 2008. It based the tally on numbers from the CDC and Agriculture Department's Federal Select Agent Program, but called it "an incomplete picture."
The CDC declined to comment on the report, referring questions to the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy.
The White House office said in a letter attached to the report that the administration had taken a number of steps to bolster biodefense, including setting up a panel to coordinate on biological security threats.
It also disagreed with the GAO's assessment that the number of labs was growing and that there was increased risk, the report said.
Representative Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, was among lawmakers who requested the report. His panel has been examining federal regulation of high-containment labs.

The GOP Strategy…Keep The Truth Secret!
The following is a post that is circulating in the online LTE sections of small-town papers around the State. It appears to be from a "local" writer, but I think it is clearly a piece of Bongino
campaign literature. I have responded to it online and added my response in the Comments section.
There is an old saying which states "liberal policies care about the poor in theory- it's the real poor they have a problem with". Having spent many years in poverty as a child, I am intimately familiar with the pain of hunger and the burning desire for a better tomorrow. I will not be lectured by elites about their intentionally cryptic notions of "fairness". It is my personal relationship with a past filled with painful memories of waking up hungry and the realization that it wasn't just a bad dream that motivates me to confront an ideology that has imprisoned generations in an endless state of poverty. This sentence, imposed by decades of bureaucratic mismanagement, is marketed to the disadvantaged among us as a "gift" from self-anointed political philanthropists.
I refuse to accept the misguided notion, blindly propagated by institutional elites, that the political party best representing the interests of struggling lower income communities is the liberal wing of the Democratic party. When I analyze the issues I encounter most on the campaign trail, the economy and healthcare, I am deeply troubled by the quality issues in our prize city of Baltimore.
The Baltimore economy has been struggling to attract new businesses for decades. An exodus of tens of thousands of its citizens has not helped, as those leaving have taken their intellectual capital with them. A litany of new taxes and a "bureaucracy first, people second" approach to governing has led to an environment where the remaining citizens are viewed simply as tools to support the bureaucracy rather than the inverse. A well written op-ed piece by Steve Hanke and Stephen Walters in the Wall Street Journal on this very subject uses this stunning statistic which sums up the utter failure of Baltimore's reliance on liberal economic ideology, "in 1950, the city's median income was 7% above the national average. Today it is 22% below it."
To add to the economic absurdity, the Mayor of Baltimore has now raised the "temporary" bottle tax, as if the chimerical dreams of a flourishing economy and streams of tax revenue were simply being subdued by the tax rate and not the underlying economic principles. We as Republicans must walk proudly into these communities, as I regularly do, and profess our ideas for growth, which are blind to socioeconomic class. I refuse to accept that a proud city, with infrastructure, public transit, access to the northeast corridor, a world class port and proximity to another major metropolitan area (Washington D.C.), should be relegated to a second class economy. I will not stand idle, while the good citizens of this great city are subjected to another minute of this "ignore the results" ideology.
With thousands of struggling lower income citizens utilizing Medicaid as a primary means of seeking access to healthcare, and ever increasing enrollment into the program, one would think, absent the facts, that the program serves the poor well. With their numerous speeches about "fairness" and "equality" it is easy to see why so many are misled. However, when we look again at the actual results of their "generosity" with our money, the story changes dramatically. An oft quoted University of Virginia study has shed light on the results on this program. The statistic that should ring alarm bells reads, a Medicaid recipient is 97% more likely to die after surgery than a person with private insurance. Wait, it gets much worse, a Medicaid recipient is 13% more likely to die after surgery than a person with no insurance at all. In what dictionary does this suffice as a definition of "help"?
With this piece I ask, rather I implore those at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale; please vote for change in 2012. Please allow us a shot at repairing decades of damage to your economy, your education system and your access to quality healthcare. Vote for change and hold us accountable. The worst possible outcome would be more of the same and you have a subsequent election to change it back if dissatisfied. Please stop going on blind dates in the voting booth. I will not stop sounding the siren and will fight for every vote in every Maryland community. And for those who continue to tell me I am wasting my time I ask you, "what are you doing to fight for those who need us most?"
Dan Bongino is the Republican nominee for United States Senate in Maryland

Rep. David B. McKinley said he likely will support fellow West Virginia Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito for Senate in 2014, but he also is flattered he was asked to run for the office himself.
"My position is, I just want to see the most conservative candidate" as the GOP nominee, he said. "I'm finding more comfort that Shelley can be that voice. We don't always vote alike, but I think she can do a good job.
"I have told Shelley I am keeping my options open. I really think at the end of the day we'll be supporting Shelley. I just want to make sure she remains conservative and fiscally responsible, and I think she will be," he added.
McKinley, R-Wheeling, said he and Capito, R-Charleston, spoke Tuesday about the race for the Senate seat to be vacated by retiring Democrat Jay Rockefeller in 2014.
He agreed they would take "the most positive and fiscally responsible position" on bills to come before them in the House.
McKinley said he has been approached about seeking the Senate seat, but he didn't say by whom.
He added he was flattered by the interest shown in him, given the fact he just started his second term in Congress and had been away from politics 16 years before seeking federal office.
"I find it curious," he said. "I'm the new guy on the block. Shelley has been here 14 years, and (Democrat Rep. Nick) Rahall has been here (36) years. People called because they saw I had a pretty conservative business focus on energy."
"I like Shelley," McKinley said, adding he has a great deal of respect for her, as well as for her father, former Gov. Arch Moore, and the Moore family.
"That's between Shelley and me how we work that out," McKinley said regarding a run for the Republican nomination to the Senate. "But yes, we've been approached."
McKinley said it frustrates him Republicans don't have control in the Senate and that they actually lost seats there in the last election.
"We have a chance of picking up some seats coming around in 2014, and I'm hoping this is one we achieve," he said. "I can tell you now, it's going to get a lot of national attention. Everyone I've talked to - Shelley's talked to - have said they are going to put a lot of money in this race. They know how important it is to have a more conservative bent in the Senate. I think it's going to be a major race followed across the country.
"I just have not yet publicly endorsed Shelley," he continued. "We still have some important votes ... but in the end, I think I will be supporting Shelley."

Did you try in Terminal - Edit -> Profiles -> Edit -> Background ?
On the other hand you can try CompizConfig. When you start it go to "Accessibility" and activate "Brightness, Opacity and Saturation" plugin. When you open it on Opacity tab you can set combination for mouse buttons or keyboard keys to change opacity of any active (focused) window. Default in my case was "Alt"+Scroll wheel. This is working perfectly for me. Normally I have no opacity set but when I need it I just press "Alt" and with a scroll whell adjust opacity to my desire. Hope this will help.

Elaine Humphries (Club Member) stayed Jul 2012 This review is for Keviki This quiet friendly campsite is very well kept. Like a garden with lots of shelter from the wind as it is surrounded by trees, but from late morning there is sun on most parts of the site for the rest of the day, but a shady pitch can be selected if necessary. There is a trampoline and some swings on the field so good for children, although there is a pond on site it is fenced off. The site is very quiet at night and there is not much light pollution so the view of the stars is lovely. The only sounds in the morning are the chickens on site and the geese that fly over. A toilet and shower block is being built and there are plans for EHU to be installed. Until the block has been completed, a toilet can be used in a static caravan, but that is the only facility available at the moment, but the rating awarded will be higher when the block is finished. There are 2 pubs in the village, and also Winteringham Fields restaurant. We walked to the Bay Horse and had a meal and a few drinks. It was excellent. Great food and friendly staff. I think there was real ale too. There is also a small shop with off-licence. There are footpaths around the village that lead to the River Humber with views of the Humber Bridge. It's a good area for cycling too as there are flat quiet lanes with not much traffic. I will visit this site again when I need a quiet chill-out weekend as it is very close to my home.

TOPEKA, Kan. - A homecoming nearly a year in the making played out at Topeka's Billard Airport Friday afternoon.
Sgt. Jamie Jarboe was hit by sniper fire in Afghanistan last April, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. He's endured a series of surgeries and infections at Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins hospitals. His wife, Melissa, spent as much time as possible at his side, while daughters Lexie, 6, and Celestial, 14, stayed behind in Topeka attending school.
Friday, wife and children were all smiles as they scanned the skies, waiting for the first sign of the private medical plane bringing Jarboe back home.
They weren't alone. Patriot Guard, American Legion and ABATE motorcycle riders lined the airport fence, American flags flapping proudly in the breeze.
The site warmed Melissa's heart and she said Jamie would be excited. She says he sometimes feels that no one cares about the soldiers, but she said the scene at Billard was proof how much support there is in Topeka for those who serve.
Also there to greet Jamie were members of his unit, who made the drive from Fort Riley. Sgt. David Larson served under Jamie in Afghanistan and says you couldn't ask for a better leader, always willing to help or explain something. He says it was a difficult time when Jamie was injured, especially knowing the injuries were so serious, he might not make it through.
He said he wanted to be there to see Jamie finally come home.
Once the plane landed, Melissa and the girls walked onto the tarmac and watched as Jamie was lifted off the aircraft and onto a stretcher. From there, he was brought closer to the fence, where he lifted a hand and waved. The motorcycle contingent saluted in return.
The journey is not over. An ambulance, escorted by a police car and the motorcycles, took Jamie to a Topeka rehab facility where more surgeries lie ahead. But Melissa says if Jamie had any doubts, Friday's scene shows him people do care.
The Jarboes story has inspired thousands of people. Melissa updates Jamie's progress on the Facebook page "Prayers for Sgt. Jamie Jarboe."

What I do to avoid grading papers
The dateline "Indianapolis" on a news-program this morning made me recall the one time Ive been in that city. I was attending Sunday Mass, I believe in the cathedral, at which a priest read the Gospel in which Christ indicts the hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees. Where the priest should have read: "They have widened their phylacteries," he said instead, "They have widened their prophylactics"which gave quite another image!This led me to recall another memorable moment in the pulpit, only this was in my seminary days, in what passed for a course in homiletic. ("Tell a story!" our mentor would repeatedly admonish us; "Long after theyve forgotten what you had to say, theyll remember the story!" Advice I didnt and dont agree with and have happily ignored for forty-five years.) Anyway, one of my classmates was giving a practice-homily for the feast of the Circumcision of the Lord, the name then given to the regularly changing feast celebrated on January 1st. The classmate, who has since gone on to greater things, began by giving us a little lesson in liturgical theology, to the effect that the liturgical feasts give us an opportunity to participate in the mysteries of Christ. "Today is the feast of the Circumcision," he went on somewhat solemnly, "and it reminds us that we must cut off the old man!" Well, the whole audiencemales only, of coursewinced and instinctively covered our vital parts.After we had stopped laughing, the priest-mentor said that we had to be careful in our use of language, as also in our pronunciation. He described one priest who spoke of Peter, during Christs trial, warming his hands at the brassiere.Anyone else have malapropisms to share?

Today is the feast of the Circumcision, he went on somewhat solemnly, and it reminds us that we must cut off the old man! Well, the whole audiencemales only, of coursewinced and instinctively covered our vital parts.Aha! Was it such anxiety that caused the Feast of the Circumcision to be suppressed? I had thought it was too much of a reminder that Jesus was Jewish.
Nothing as good as widening the prophylactics or warming ones hands at the brassiere, but I got these:"I am defiantly a good communicator," wrote one kid. My guess is that "definitely" was misspelled and he chose the wrong alternative. In any case, it somewhat deflated his claims as a communicator."Some reporters lead with an antidotal story," wrote another, perhaps because "anecdotal story" would be redundant. Certainly I would like to read an antidotal story to see if it cures headaches and whatnot.I have my grades in. Haha!
A local hospital proudly announced on an expensive sign that it had transformed its "previous baron" roof into a beautiful garden. I guess there is more to life than noble blood.
NOt as good, but I remeber fondly the guffaws from a learned congregation when one of the more pompous lectors rose to read from "St. Pauls's letter to the Phillipinos."
Just remembered this, though not a malapropism. It's from a Bronx parish, with a lector blissfully unaware that he has an accent. He got to Rom 8:15: "a spirit of adoption as sons, by virtue of which we cry, "Abber! Fadda!"
A student told me once that he thought that I was such a good teacher, I would "go down in the anals of history."
David's post reminded me of a fellow student who was a lector at our Catholic college (a philosophy/theology double major, no less) who very confidently announced at Mass one day: A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Titans.
I had a student write a paper in which she claimed St. Paul is "full of carp." In the same paper, she wrote that "Thomas Aquinas opposed sexual relations because he said they clouded his thinking."Unfortunately, malapropisms abound in my student's papers. Most of them indicate how oral communication has completely overwhelmed the written word, because almost all of them are the result of trying to write down something one has only heard on a rare occasion.
Joe, yes, I used to see this more when I taught English Freshman Comp. There were "hammydowns," "arrowdynamics" and "let's get down to brass tactics" among many others my office mates and I used to keep on a list.Unagidon, going down in the anals of history reminded me of a student who appealed a grade I'd given her to the department chair. In her grade grievance, she wrote, "I have been trying to see you for two days about this matter. Do I have to keep a virgil outside your door?"The appeal was denied.
In the old days, when the Passion was read silently in Latin in the background and English translation was read aloud to the assembled, our Pastor of beloved memory was trying to inject some 'passion' into his reading of the Passion. However, after passionately proclaiming for the leaders of the Jews that they wanted Barabbas, he rolled on to explain, "Now, Barabbas was a barber." After a five second pause, the whole assemply erupted in laughter.
Some years back, a new curate was scheduled to preach at my parish, and a friend and I made sure to attend to see how he would do his first time. He did not seem nervous at all, and was a wonderful speaker. The problem was, he repeatedly referred to King David commiting adultery with Beersheba. The two of us, fortunately in a back pew, must have looked like we were both having some kind of attack at each repetition, as we struggled against laughing aloud. We didn't have the heart to mention to him that his homily had covered what must have been the wildest party recounted in Scripture . . .
Sadly, Father Komonchak, your own words undo you: I shall always remember these stories. Then again, I've never heard you preach, and that may be just as memorable. So what do I know? Back to grading....
I was occasionally a student lector at my high school's daily Mass, attended mostly by some Marist brothers and lay faculty. Early one morning during the Easter season, I read a passage from Acts of the Apostles that mentioned a certain group of Jews who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. A Queens native, I spoke of the "Sa-DOOCH-ees"--as if they were one of New York's "Five Families." Those present kindly kept their heads down and bit their lips--a work of mercy, indeed.
Speaking of the "Families," a lector in the Bronx, reading from Romans, proclaimed Paul's counsel: "let the one who has the gift of extortion, extort!"
My wife informs me that once at Mass she was treated to a reading from the Book of Elasticus.
Joe PettitIsn't Danube carp a traditional Jewish favorite? Perhaps your student was more subtle that he realized.
Back in 1964, before the advent of lay lectors, our assistant pastor was reading a passage from the Old Testament. I was an acolyte at the Mass, in the 7th grade. Father read a passage regarding the "fiery darts of heaven" as "the diary farts of heaven." I and a number of folks in the pews began to chuckle. Father stopped reading abruptly, realized his mistake, then read, more loudly, "I mean the diary FARTS of heaven!" Then the whole congregation burst out laughing.
Joseph Gannon: As I understand the current status of historical/critical analysis of Paul, the proposition that his mission got far enough north for him to enjoy Danube carp is currently an outlier.
One time (and only one time) after the Consecration: "Let us proclaim the mystery of death".Two biggest fears (not actual mistakes, but fears):Preface Christian Death I (P77): "The sadness of death gives way to the bright promise of immorality."Anytime the word "prostrate" is used.One priest/high school teacher whose company I shared at a meal a few weeks ago told me that one student explained during an essay exam that we no longer need capital punishment in the USA because we have a strong penile system.

Your baby is now capable of producing all of the enzymes that will process food within the digestive tract. If born early, your baby could now feed normally although some will still require help since they need to fine tune the coordination of their suckling reflexes.
Eighty percent of your baby's energy needs are met by carbohydrates, mainly in the form of glucose, and almost 20 percent from protein. Fat is not used as an energy source but it is used for growth. All mineral, vitamin, and calcium needs are met from your own reserves and your diet. Two possible exceptions are iron and folate, a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in foods; folic acid is the synthetic version. Folate does not easily cross the placenta to reach and nourish your baby. Your own iron reserves may already be low if you eat little or no red meat or if this pregnancy has followed on quickly from your last one. Your baby needs iron (and folate) to make red blood cells and because only a small percentage of iron in your diet is absorbed, iron supplementation is often recommended at this stage.
While all of your baby's gut structures were present by 20 weeks, it is not until this stage that all the enzymes needed for digestion are activated and the absorptive surface of the gut is established to a degree that would enable your baby to feed if she were born now.
After you've exercised on the floor, or have been resting in bed, you may find it a struggle to get up from lying down. This simple maneuver can put a strain on your abdominal muscles, which are stretched, and it isn't helped by your altered center of gravity. The technique shown below was originally devised by yoga teachers to help you get up safely from a lying down position.
As with any strenuous maneuvers at this stage of pregnancy, always take your time and remember to breathe slowly and deeply throughout.

Two CU journalism alumni have claimed the nation's most prestigious journalism prizes for their work.
New York Times sportswriter John Branch (Mktng '89/MJour '96) this week was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing for his precedent-setting multimedia package, Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek.
TV reporter Marshall Zelinger (Jour '02) of Denver's KMGH-TV recently received the George Foster Peabody Award and several other major prizes for his special investigative series, Investigating the Fire, about last summer's Lower North Fork fire in the foothills west of Denver.
And you can add another bunch of award winners to CU's journalism honor roll: the staff of the Denver Post, including many of the journalism program's alums, won the Pulitzer for breaking news for coverage of last year's shootings at an Aurora theater.
Branch's "Snow Fall" includes a 15,000-word story, videos, photographs and interactive 3D maps and graphics to describe an avalanche that killed three back country skiers in Washington state in 2012. The Pulitzer jury cited Branch for, "his evocative narrative about skiers killed in an avalanche and the science that explains such disasters, a project enhanced by its deft integration of multimedia elements." Branch is a member of the CU Journalism & Mass Communication advisory board.
Zelinger has spent months telling the story of the North Fork fire and its repercussions. The fire started as a prescribed burn set by the Colorado State Forest Service but spread beyond its boundaries and went out of control. Three people died and 22 homes were destroyed. The legislature passed a law to compensate the victims but that process has been delayed.
Zelinger will receive his Peabody award at a May 20 ceremony in New York. Branch and the Denver Post staff will claim their prizes at Columbia University in New York on May 30.

That Cat Is a Real Jewel: How Some Furry Friends Stay Precious
Companies Turn Departed Pets Into Gems; A Diamond Lhasa Apso Is Forever
Natalie Pilon's diamond is her best friend.
Every time she looks into the ring on her finger, Ms. Pilon sees Meowy, her late beloved silver cat. Meowy really is there: The ring's two diamonds were made from her cremated remains.
"It's a little eccentric—not something everyone would do," says Ms. Pilon, a biotech sales representative in Boston, whose cat passed away last year. "It's a way for me to remember my cat, and have her with me all the time."
Americans have a long tradition of pampering and memorializing their pets. Now, technology lets precious friends become precious gems.
The idea of turning the carbon in ashes into man-made diamonds emerged a decade ago as a way to memorialize humans. Today, departed pets are fueling the industry's growth, with a handful of companies selling diamonds, gemstones and other jewelry out of pet remains, including hair and feathers.
Some gems start at about $250, while pet diamonds cost at least $1,400, with prices based on color and size. The diamonds have the same physical properties as mined diamonds, purveyors say.
LifeGem, an Elk Grove Village, Ill., company, says it has made more than 1,000 animal diamonds in the past decade, mostly from dogs and cats but also a few birds, rabbits, horses and one armadillo. Customers truly can see facets of their pets, says Dean VandenBiesen, LifeGem's co-founder, because "remains have some unique characteristics in terms of the ratios of elements, so no two diamonds are exactly alike."

Jennifer Durante, 42 years old, of St. Petersburg, Fla., commissioned another company, Pet Gems, to create a light-blue zircon gemstone out of remains from her teacup Chihuahua, Tetley. "It reminds me of his eyes when the sun would shine into them," she says.
Sonya Zofrea, a 42-year-old police officer in San Fernando, Calif., has two yellow diamonds to memorialize Baby, a black cat with yellow eyes who wandered into her life as a stray. The first contained a blemish, so maker LifeGem created another one free of charge with the cat's ashes. But Ms. Zofrea felt the first reminded her most of her occasionally naughty kitty. "When I saw the imperfection, I thought, that's just her," says Ms. Zofrea. "She's an imperfect little soul, aren't we all?"
A spokesman for the Gemological Institute of America declined to comment on specific companies or processes, but said that synthetic diamonds, like naturally occurring ones, are made of carbon. "That carbon could come from the remains of a deceased pet," he said.
Producing a one-carat diamond requires less than a cup of ashes or unpacked hair. Sometimes, companies add outside carbon if there isn't enough.
Fabricating a diamond speeds up what happens deep inside the earth naturally. After separating the carbon from other compounds in the remains to produce graphite, the companies put the carbon and a diamond seed crystal into a chamber with thick metal walls that heats it to more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit under about 800,000 pounds per square inch of pressure. After a number of days, a rough diamond emerges that can be cut and polished.
Pet Gems, of Scituate, R.I., uses a less-expensive process that combines naturally occurring zircon stones with ashes, changing the color of the stone based on the unique chemical composition of the remains.
"The whole concept of creating a diamond from a personal source of carbon is not widely known, believe it or not," says Tom Bischoff, president of DNA2Diamonds, the American sales and distribution branch of New Age Diamonds Holding, a lab-created diamond maker located in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Customers sometimes ask the companies how they can be assured that their pets' remains are actually used to make the gems. The answer boils down to trust. "There is not a way known to man, anywhere in the world as of this time, to verify the source of carbon used to create a diamond," says Mr. Bischoff. His company sends customers a certificate with details about the unique chemical composition of their pets' ashes, and maintains a "chain of custody" log that tracks the movement of the carbon from the lab to its diamond presses in Russia.
Many owners set their memorials in rings or pendants to keep them close by. For people who have a close relationship with their pets, having a physical object like a jewel can help the grieving process, says Allen R. McConnell, a professor of social psychology at Miami University in Ohio who has studied why human-pet relationships are healthy.
Many people don't believe pets have a spiritual afterlife, he says, so "there is a really basic need that people have for permanence and to feel like death is not the end."
Phyllis Laferriere, a 67-year-old retired medical technician from Milford, Mass., finds no sadness looking at the seven zircons she has made out of her seven deceased cats. She can identify each gem, which she wears on a bracelet, by color: The light-blue one was her first cat, a golden longhair named Tyler; the amber one is Jake, a Siamese.
"It brings back happy memories," says Ms. Laferriere, "and you remember all the silly things they did."
Living pets can make for jewels, too. Megan Oswald-Held collected samples of hair from three of her dogs, a Yorkie-poo and two Lhasa Apsos, and mixed that with a sample of hair she saved from her deceased Lhasa Apso, Jade, to make a three-quarter-carat radiant-cut diamond. The gem cost $4,700.
"It will be nice to be able to look at the ring on my hand and say there are my kids," says Mrs. Oswald-Held, 36, a paralegal from Allentown, Pa.
Mrs. Oswald-Held also made pendants called Perpetua Life Jewels out of samples of her dogs' DNA. She collected the samples by swabbing the inside of her dogs' cheeks, and then a lab separated out the DNA, colored it and put it inside a glass pendant.
After Ms. Pilon's cat Meowy died last year at the age of 20, she shipped Meowy's ashes to DNA2Diamonds. She specified two blue diamonds, which evoke the color of Meowy's eyes. She declined to say how much she spent.Ms. Pilon had the diamonds set, alongside a sapphire, into a ring she wears every day.
"It is a little bit easier to know that I had taken my sadness and turned it into something beautiful," she says.
"Meowy was kind of a little diva, so I thought two blue diamonds would be a fitting tribute."

Shell and state-oil giant CNPC first announced a deal in March 2012 to develop the shale reserves. The companies haven't disclosed details of the contract, but the approval suggests authorities in Beijing have developed the regulatory framework needed to spur wider international investment.
By BRIAN SPEGELE
BEIJING -- Royal Dutch Shell said Tuesday it had received
approval from the Chinese government for its first shale gas
production-sharing contract in China, a significant milestone
as China looks to tap potentially massive unconventional gas
reserves and achieve ambitious shale gas production
Li Lusha, a
spokeswoman for the Anglo-Dutch company, said the Chinese
government had approved its plan to explore, develop and
produce shale gas with partner China National Petroleum Corp.
in the Fushun-Yongchuan block in the Sichuan basin.
Word of the government's approval comes more than a year
after Shell and state-oil giant CNPC announced they reached a
deal in March 2012 to develop the shale reserves.
The companies haven't disclosed details of the contract, but
the approval suggests authorities in Beijing have developed the
regulatory framework needed to spur wider international
investment in developing its shale reserves.
China is looking to replicate a boom in North American
natural gas production, which has begun reshaping global energy
markets. Chinese companies need international players such as
Shell to lend technology and operational expertise
in extracting the gas trapped in shale rock formations.
Shell CEO Peter Voser told reporters in Beijing on Tuesday
that the company was gearing up for what he described as a
"significant drilling season in 2013 and in 2014."
Mr. Voser said Shell and CNPC were continuing to explore
which drilling locations were best-suited for long term
development and production, and said the company was committed
to helping Beijing achieve its ambitious shale-gas production
China has set a target of producing some 6.5 billion cubic
meters/year of shale gas by 2015 and as much as 100 billion
cubic meters/year by 2020, up from virtually zero in 2012. That
is a target some analysts have been skeptical the country can
The US Energy Information Administration has said China has
an estimated 1,275 trillion cubic feet, or 36 trillion cubic
meters, of technically recoverable shale-gas reserves, more
than Canada and the US combined.
If extracted, unconventional reserves could help alter China's
energy profile, which has become increasingly reliant on
imported oil and polluting coal to power its economic
Such massive estimates are sending Shell's international
rivals into the market as well. Chevron, for example, has
drilled at least one exploratory well in China and has plans
for more, but company executives have cited a shortage of
geological data and lacking infrastructure as among the reasons
it expected slower progress compared with North America.
Soaring gas production in North America has helped lower
fuel prices for chemical production and other industrial
activity. In addition, it has raised the prospect of LNG
exports from Canada and the US during the coming decade.
Mr. Voser reiterated earlier estimates that US exports of LNG
may eventually hit 50 million-60 million tpy, but said he
expected much of the US gas to remain at home to be used as a
replacement for coal in power generation and to build up
domestic industry.
"I think LNG will be exported out of the United States but I
see the volume as being limited," he said.

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A wreath with a ribbon that read "Lest We Forget" was placed in front of the Vanguard of Freedom monument at the Fort Riley Military Cemetery Monday, paying tribute to veterans who served in conflicts around the world and to soldiers who lost their lives in service to our nation.
Fort Riley soldiers, local veterans and members of the community gathered at the post cemetery for the annual Memorial Day observance and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Brigadier General Donald MacWillie told the crowd: "On this hallowed day, Americans remember the sacrifice of a loved one, a close friend or a comrade in arms. It's a formal holiday that reminds us that every day is Independence Day in this great nation of ours. As the motto goes, we live in the home of the brave because of the brave. Today we honor those who didn't make it home by embracing their legacy, by reaffirming our patriotism, by deepening our love of this great country and be showing a devotion to and respect for those who have gone before us- those who sacrificed for those they loved. Today, we meet once again on our hallowed ground. This ground serves as a reminder of the human toll exacted by the conflicts that happen around the world every day. And it reminds us of the people who have lost their lives because of it. The soldiers resting here represent the very best that our nation has to offer for they sacrificed for those they loved. These were extraordinary men and women who rose to meet difficult tasks in extraordinary times."
"In the year since we last met on this hallowed ground, our division has lost 46 soldiers... They are warriors. They're the heart of the Big Red One and they're the heart of our nation and their spirit will live as long as this division lives," MacWillie added.
"Today is all about the sacrifices of those who have gone before us and if we don't take time out to learn from their legacy and honor their legacy, we're just not doing right by our soldiers that are serving today. It sends a signal both to those who have gone before us and those who are serving today," MacWillie told 13 News after the ceremony.
"They gave the ultimate price so that you could have this holiday and we have to thank them for that. America is free because of our soldier," said local Vietnam veteran Salvador Flores.
Also in the thoughts and prayers of many this Memorial Day are the thousands of 1st Infantry Division soldiers currently deployed to Eastern Afghanistan where the Big Red One's headquarters is leading a regional command.
The 1st Infantry Division headquarters marked its first Memorial Day deployed to Afghanistan with a ceremony on Bagram Airfield.
The Commanding General of the 1st Infantry Division and Combined Joint Task Force-1 presided over the ceremony, addressing an audience of Afghan, U.S. and NATO service members.
"Today we take pause from the fight to remember those who have given their lives in defense of our great nation... In Afghanistan, we pay a special tribute to our brothers and sisters who have fallen here: 15 so far under this division's watch and 1,975 over the last 11 years of combat," said Major General William C. Mayville Jr.
The division assumed command of the fight in Regional Command-East mid-April.

It will then ask you about the domain name you want to have email sent from. Again, fill that out based upon your needs.
It will ask you what password you want to use - put in a secure password. This is for the admin account
And then you'll need to verify your password.

Little ugly, huh?
Nagios automatically adds in the 'localhost' to the config, and does load, current users, disk space, http and ssh checks.
Now there is one more thing we need to do before nagios is all ready - we need to have it accept external commands so we can acknowledge problems, add comments, etc.
To do that, we need to edit a few files. Start by opening

and here's a nice summary of how to monitor a website using Nagios 3:
and here is another good example of configuring both Nagios and Apache, and configuring escalations:
I recommend follow Nagios official Quickstart guide, which does not use apt-get, but download the source code, compile and then install.
This would ensure your Nagios is installed at /usr/local/nagios/
I find the advantage that Nagios installed at /usr/local/nagios/ when I try to install Nagios Service Check Acceptor, a add-on for Nagios.

OK, I'm still playing with my iPad and loving it, and I found another software App that is a lot of fun. ASKetch by Andrew Kern is supposed to work with finger motions and strokes alone, and not be used with a stylus or pen tool. I'll tell you what it is supposed to do (and it does it very well). Let's look at ASKetch as Mr. Kern meant it to be. First, I'll quote: ASKetch is a simple black & white procedural sketching program for drawing with your fingers. It is designed from the ground … [Read more...]

(Review) FileApp: A Great iOS File Manager
The iPad is a great thing. It is not, however, a computer. It's a shift away from the familiar hard drive directories. The new iPad owner has to surrender to a new way : you can't really root around the hard drive looking for a file, all user experience is controlled by an app, and getting the right app is key. As most of us have found out, finding that right app is a bizarre mixture of dumb luck, suggestions from co-workers and friends and the endless lists of best 10 apps proliferating on the … [Read more...]

The Accidental iPad and How I Use It
When Steve Jobs announced the iPad a few months ago I didn't think "Wow, I gotta have me one of those...". Though I was intrigued by the form factor and slightly motivated by Steve Jobs' demonstration of the device, it didn't scream out at me as something I needed. I was actually more amused with all the criticism surrounding the choice of iPad as the name for the device. I yawned and went on with my life. Nearly a month ago I walked in to our local Apple store with my family. We weren't … [Read more...]

Where is the
What happened there? Is there something I missed?
We now show this not as a "no rep" series of votes, but the actual rep change and summarized as "User was removed" so it's very clear what happened here.
That upvote was added 15 hours ago; 9 hours ago the user who upvoted you was deleted (I haven't checked to see why) - hence that vote ceased to be, and the net result is indeed zero. I'll check why it shows at all though - it would be less confusing if we displayed nothing.

I like the second idea, i've done something similier (on 08 i think) but with the added bonus of putting the said team in the BSN via the editor.Hey, I've got two challenge idea's here, I've been thinking about them and want to know what you think!
Fall From Grace
The goal in this challenge is to take over the best four teams in any nation. (E.g, Man.Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool) and attempt to get them all relegated from the Premier. Obviously, this won't be possible in one season, so it should take two to get them all into the Championship.
After you've wrecked their premiership career, you could try going all the way and getting them down to League 2, or even the BSP/ BSN/BSS. It would be interesting to see which clubs would come out top.
And if you want, as an extra, once you have done that in England, move on to Italy or Spain, Germany, France or even Scotland. Your manager is bound to get sacked, so once they do, retire and start a new manager as manager of the club that sacked you. This will be quite hard, to wreck the top 4 completley. But I think that it would be quite pleasurable, especially if one of the top 4 is your rival club...
The Glory of Youth Players
In this challenge, feel free to take control of any club in any of the leagues- but I recommend teams with good youth systems (AC Milan, Arsenal, Ajax, Barcelona).
Your board has been taken over by a very poor bussinesman, who cannot afford to give any transfer budget to the club.
You cannot buy any new players
If a club makes an offer for one of your players, you must sell them.
You can only add to your first team squad with your youth players and reserves.
The aim is to get your full squad full of your home-grown youth players.
Because of the awkwardness in this challenge, if you are sacked you can retire then go back to that club.
Please tell me if you will give these challenges a go, or if they are a good idea!

With Mountain Lion, what is the best way to replicate what I could do before?
With Safari 5 in Lion, I used the Activity window to save video files.
Safari 6 has no Activity window.
With Mountain Lion, what is the best way to replicate what I could do before?
The Activity Window is gone in Safari 6, but you can get most of the functionality with the Page Resources window of Web Inspector.
To enable that, go to Safari's preferences, and on the Advanced tab, check Show Develop menu in menu bar:
Then you can view the page's resources by clicking Show Page Resources… in the Develop menu, or pressing ⌥⌘A.
That will give you a window with a sidebar similar to this one (which I took from a Youtube page):
It groups things a bit differently than the old activity window, but it should display all the same things. FLV files should be in the Other folder, and you can use the search bar at the bottom to filter for certain strings.
Alternatively, you may be interested in the ClickToPlugin Safari extension, which can do HTML5 replacement of a lot of Flash web video, and in most cases gives you the option to download the file directly just by right-clicking on the video.
Another way to download YouTube videos is to use youtube-dl:
YouTube Options is a Safari extension that shows Download Options -- WebM, MP4, FLV, 3GP, 3D -- right beneath the video.
Available for Chrome and Opera too.
There's a great application called Jaksta that I use that makes it really easy to download all kinds of media from the web. All you have to do is open Jaksta, then go to Safari and play any video or music you want. Jaksta then downloads the file and converts it automatically. Here's a review of Jaksta from MacNews:
Here's a description from the Jaksta website:
Anyway, I highly recommend Jaksta (and I'm not affiliated with them in any way).
I use and like many of the Safari extensions for flv/youtube/html5 etc. But a more general solution for the missing activity monitor list is provided by hetima with SafariStand
The easiest way to download flv files on most sites is to use click2plugin safari extension

The frequency of children's bowel movements varies widely, and it can be difficult for parents to know what is normal. Some children move their bowels two or three times a day, while others may go two or three days between movements.
In general, a marked change in your child's stooling pattern is more important to note than a regular infrequency of bowel movements. If you notice such a change or if your child becomes uncomfortable, talk with your pediatrician.
Do not give your child laxatives, suppositories, stool softeners, or enemas unless your pediatrician recommends them. A well-balanced diet with plenty of fruit, fiber, and liquids is the best way to create soft, comfortable stools and regular bowel movements.

Cell Death: Fundamental Mechanisms and Roles in Human Disease
My lab studies (a) fundamental mechanisms of cell death and (b) the roles of cell death in human disease. Over the past 20 years, we have elucidated basic aspects of cell death biology, in particular delineating mechanisms by which the cell death inhibitor ARC antagonizes both the intrinsic and extrinsic death pathways (Molecular Cell, 2004. 15: 901-912; PNAS, 2007. 104: 20826-20831; JBC, 2007. 282: 5522-5528; JBC, 2007. 282: 5529-5535; others). Interestingly, we have discovered roles for ARC not only in heart disease, but also in cancer (Cell Death Differ, 2005; Cancer Res, 2011. 71: 7705-7715), pulmonary hypertension (Circulation, 2011. 124: 2533-2342), and type 2 diabetes (Diabetes, 2013: 62: 183-193).
Our most important translational accomplishments have focused on cell death in the heart. I was one of the founders of the cardiac cell death field and have played a leading role in its development. My lab was the first to demonstrate that regulated forms of cell death play a central role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction (J Mol Cell Cardiol, 2000. 32: 2397-2402 and others). In addition, we provided the first evidence that cell death is a causal component in the pathogenesis of heart failure (J Clin Invest, 2003. 111: 1497-1504 and others).
Presently, our work is focused on: (a) understanding mechanistic connections that link cell death programs - in particular, apoptosis and necrosis (PNAS, 2012. 109: 6566-6571; Cell Death Differ, 2014. 21: 634-644); and molecular connections between cell death and other mitochondrial processes. One of these processes, which plays important roles in aging and disease, is mitophagy, the selective elimination of senescent and damaged mitochondria by a specialized form of macroautophagy. Recently, we discovered new roles for cell death molecules as regulators of mitophagy. (b) A second major focus in the lab employs chemical and structural approaches in the identification/design of small molecules to reduce cardiomyocyte death. We have used both unbiased screening (Probe Reports from the NIH Molecular Libraries Program, 2013; PMID: 24404634) and candidate approaches to develop prototypes of what we hope will become small molecule drugs to reduce heart damage during myocardial infarction.
I supervise a laboratory of approximately 8, including Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. students and postdocs. An important facet of my work is training and mentorship. I have been thesis research advisor to 11 individuals who have received the Ph.D. degree. A significant proportion of my trainees have gone on to academic faculty positions as independent investigators. My pre- and postdoctoral trainees have included a substantial number of individuals from groups under-represented in science.

Captain Jeff Mayberry, with Kentucky State Police, is praising state lawmakers for passing Senate Bill 106, which imposes a stricter penalty on sexual predators of children via the Internet.
Captain Mayberry: "Through the Internet you can talk to people in other states and sometimes other countries. With this legislation and legislation that has been introduced nationally that's going to put us in a better position to prosecute these offenders over state lines."
Senate Bill 106 will increase the penalty for an individual found guilty of using the Internet to solicit sex from children under 16 years of age from a misdemeanor to a Class D felony, which carries a one to five year prison sentence.
Mayberry: "The fact that this is now a Class D felony on the second subsequent offense we would be able to proceed with a persistent felony offender indictment or charge."
Senate Bill 106 also clarifies a previous prosecutorial loophole, making clear that it is a felony offense if the accused has unknowingly been communicating with a police officer posing as a child. Captain Mayberry says he doesn't feel the new legislation will cut down on the number of Internet sexual predator cases they see, but he hopes it helps fight the perpetrators once they are discovered.
Mayberry: "It's just a shame that people fashion the Internet and turn this resource into something as despicable as trying to solicit sex with children."

This cipher shifts the letter that it will shift to, after each shift...
I used to play with this when I was a kid. I was thinking about it recently and realized that it wasn't as simple as I thought. Here's the description:
The second number makes the code much harder to break. It changes the number of letters above the letter to be replaced by a different amount each time. For example "a" will be subsituted by "b" (one place higher), "b" by "d" (two places higher), "c" by "f" (three places higher) and so on. Try changing the second code number in the code maker and see how much more difficult trying to break the code will be.

Is there a name for this type of shift?
