The conclusion to chapter two. Shannon gets what she needs.
Mrs. Vandermeer had returned. She stood there in the door way, a fist resting upon her cocked hip, a leather satchel occupying her other hand. My mouth felt dry as I hung there, suspended by my wrists with only my toes to keep my full weight from my arms and shoulders, a desire so intense that I thought I'd cream myself right then and there. She'd shed her jacket and trousers, as well as...Read On

After Master excites his pet, Krystenah has to beg to be fucked by him

When I reached the top stair, I saw that he grasped the cat by its handle. Its braided tails hung silently along his leg. My thighs tightened at the memory of the last flogging he had given me and how the tails had painted my...Read On

Diana Taurasi Booted From Turkish Team for Doping
Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi's contract with the Turkish women's basketball team Fenerbahce was terminated this morning after she tested positive -- again -- for using a doping agent.
Taurasi, who inked a new deal with the Mercury in August, plays with the Turkish team during the WNBA's off-season.
The substance for which Taurasi tested positive is called Modafinil, which has been banned in several professional sports after athletes like cyclist David Clinger and sprinter Kelli White used it as a performance-enhancing drug.
The drug is commonly used to treat sleep disorders but is also used to help athletes train. It was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list in 2004 as it has "been shown to prolong exercise time to exhaustion while performing at 85 percent of VO2max and also reduces the perception of effort required to maintain this threshold."

Taurasi's led the WNBA in scoring four times, including the past three seasons. She was named league MVP in 2009 after leading the Mercury to a championship.
Taurasi's slated to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games in London, which may not happen now that she's she tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. That decision is yet to be made.
The Mercury have not commented publicly on the matter.

- epithelial misplacement;
- hamartomatous polyp;
- Peutz-Jeghers polyp;
- vascular pseudoinvasion
A Peutz-Jeghers polyp (PJP) is a hamartomatous lesion characterized by arborescent smooth muscle bundles covered with mucosa native to the site of involvement. PJPs in the small intestine may represent misplacement of non-neoplastic epithelium into the submucosa, muscularis propria and subserosa. Although epithelial misplacement in PJPs is a well-documented phenomenon, pseudoinvasion even into the vascular space in PJPs has not previously been reported. We report a case of a 22-year-old Japanese woman with a solitary PJP in the ileum. The ileal PJP in this patient showed epithelial herniation even into the vascular space. All the herniated epithelium, including the epithelial components invaginated into the vascular space, demonstrated features of pseudoinvasion, that is, presence of normal small intestinal type mucosa accompanied by the lamina propria, absence of any stromal desmoplastic reaction, and retention of the basal-luminal gradient. Pathologists must be aware of the possibility of vascular pseudoinvasion in small intestinal PJPs to avoid overdiagnosis of carcinoma and resulting unnecessary major surgery.

Here We Go Again: Darwinius, the ICZN, and the Online Publication of Taxonomic Names
The newly described primate Darwinius masillae (Franzen et al., 2009) has been receiving tons of press heralded as being a 'missing link' in primate evolution (however see this article in Laelaps), however, it is not only the phylogentic position and its interpretation that is being hotly debated. Now the validity of the taxonomic name is being called into question because the name was published in the online-only journal PLoS One. Carl Zimmer's blog The Loom has a great discussion of this. Check it out.
Hopefully the ICZN will soon amend the code as advocated by Harris (2004) to deal with the increasing trend of online only journals and the early online releases (ahead of print versions) now popular with many journals.

Bill, my continuing adventures on the ICZN mailing list are not encouraging: there is A LOT of opposition to recognising electronic-only publishing from old-schoolers who do not believe that digital papers can be adequately conserved and reliably found. That makes no sense to me, but that's reality as the community around the Code sees it.ReplyDelete
It seems to me that the code is in danger of becoming an irrelevance. Its very existence depends on the community agreeing to respect and adhere to its rules. I strongly suspect that people will simply ignore the restriction on electronic publications and continue to cite and use Darwinius, Panphagia, etc. etc. as valid taxa. And if people use them as valid taxa, well then dammit, code or not, they ARE valid taxa.ReplyDelete
The code has to be flexible enough to serve the needs of the community (admitedly while being rigid enough to provide the stability that it was invented for in the first place. If it doesn't maybe an expanded phylocode that deals with species as well as clades will supersede the ICZN altogether. Interesting times, no?
I think that among many, the code *will* become an irrelevance on account of issues like this. Even if some idiot went and renamed taxa like Maiacetus and Darwinius and Panphagia in a "valid" format (which would like mean an obscure journal of limited circulation), I suspect that people would ignore these sorts of papers in favor of the original description. I know that I would!ReplyDelete

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live! - Countdown to Music's Biggest Night will have to go on without Drake, reports TMZ. The rapper dropped out of the LL Cool J-hosted event due to "scheduling complications" with his Would You Like a Tour? his rep told the site.
"[He] sincerely apologizes to his fans that he can't be there."
Drizzy was announced as a performer back in October, alongside Robin Thicke, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and country singer Keith Urban. More recently, Lorde, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were added to the bill.
His Would You Like a Tour? (featuring special guests like The Weeknd, Jhené Aiko, Future, and Miguel) kicked off that same month, and he's been criss-crossing the nation in support of his now platinum-selling Nothing Was the Same since. He's next scheduled to touch down in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday (Dec. 7).

Fri Feb 10 2012Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional
Fri Feb 10 20129th Circuit Rules that California's Same Sex Marriage Ban Violates 14th Amendment
California's Proposition 8 ban on same sex marriage was ruled unconstitutional by a three member panel of judges from the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Judge Smith dissented. The panel majority stated that California voters violated the 14th Amendment of the Federal Constitution when voting for Prop 8.
D. Boyer wrote, "I was live on scene in front of the Federal Court when the decision was out. San Francisco is ground zero for same sex marriage, so folks are happy. Additionally the panel majority stated that California's Proposition 8 'served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California", and it officially would have reclassified their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite sex couples.'"
The panel of judges also denied the motion by Prop 8 proponents to vacate the judgement by then Chief Judge Walker because he was also gay. San Francisco's City Attorney held a press conference inside San Francisco's City Hall to talk about the decision and what it means for Gay and Lesbian Californians. They stated that they are getting ready and changing marriage forms, but that until the stay is lifted same sex couples in California still cannot marry. They said it may take months before same sex marriage is allowed to resume in California.

LETTER: We need better leaders in mental health
Published: Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 7:46 p.m.
Dear Editor: I worked in mental health (for) 32 years, plus remaining actively involved since my retirement. Not once had I ever heard Commissioner Zelia Baugh's name. Where did our dermatologist Dr. (Robert) Bentley find her? What was her expertise? What are her qualifications?
How rude and inconsiderate to cancel a meeting with our local officials at the last minute.
People and legislators, you need to wake up. This town is heading for disaster. It is not about jobs only, but more so for these people who are mentally disabled, who are not capable of making decisions, who will end up in our overcrowded jail or sleeping under a bridge.
There has got to be an answer rather than closing these facilities. Our governor needs to find someone who has the knowledge to make better decisions. His promise before elected was not to close Partlow. He did. Big mistake.
I pray that God will intervene before it is too late. Please wake up, governor, and get a mental health commissioner who knows and cares what they are doing.

The Acuvue Oasys lenses are the most comfortable lenses I've tried. I have been wearing contacts for a little over a year now, so I'm fairly new to the game. My eye doctor started me off with Air Optix Aqua, and after going through a box of those lenses, I was pretty fed up. They were thick, dried up easily and gave me irritation when I was on the computer. I have a desk job, so while I'm at work, I am ALWAYS on the computer. I went back to my doctor and then tried the Biofinity lenses. Definitely an improvement, but still gave me a horrible, dry gritty feeling, and the clarity was AWFUL! I had to squint while they were in, which defeats the whole point of contacts! Then I tried the CooperVision ProClear Compatibles. These were the best out of the bunch, and my vision was actually better than 20/20 with these, but they would still get very dry on me. I was reluctant to try the Oasys because they are a 2-week replacement lens but they are great. The clarity is good, it feels like NOTHING going in your eye which is amazing, as the Air Optix had a big "edge" you could feel. I wear these ALL day (16+ hours) and have occasionally worn them overnight with no issues. GREAT lenses and definitely the best I've tried so far!

Ordering and delivery service has been just great! Last batch of lenses, however, were somewhat unreliable as far as wearing comfort. A few were uncomfortable right out of the package. I had to use a gentle soap to clean off the residue that was causing discomfort. One or two I had to throw away immediately.

Dry and Blurry - Not Recommended
By Blind Io
from Vancouver, BC
Comments about Acuvue Oasys:
I've been wearing contact lenses since the time when soft contact lenses first came out and the debate for most was whether to move away from the hard shells or not. I have a slight astigmatism, and my optometrist had strong recommended that I wear lenses to compensate for it.Until trying to move to Accuvue's Oasys, I'd been a very loyal wearer of the Accuvue2 brand. They were comfortable and effective. I definitely am not enjoying my experience with Oasys. Putting them in is tricky, as the lenses are thin and seem quite fragile to the touch. I haven't torn one yet, so they must be stronger than they seem, but they easily flip over and are generally annoying to handle. Worst of all, though, is that they're dry. They're amazingly dry. They go *in* dry, which is fascinating to me. If I don't add some of the saline solution to the contact when I put it into my eye, it refuses to move on the eye at all. For those without an astigmatism, this might be okay - preferable, even, as it means the contact stays firmly in place and doesn't slip around. For those with an astigmatism, however, it means the contact has a lot of trouble adjusting on the eye to get to the right shape and orientation. I find the only way around this is to liberally fill the contact with saline solution *before* it goes into the eye.The dryness also becomes a factor when they've been in for more than about eight hours. They start to get itchy and uncomfortable.All in all, these are definitely not good replacements for what I'd had before. I had hoped to be able to stick with Accuvue since the old brand was so comfortable, but it looks like I've got to try out some other companies.

By Penny the pensioner

Use contacts every day,only time i have any problems is if i change to another cleaning solution,so i stick with same one all the time. Have used same lens for about 10 years now and really can not fault them.I have stayed with them as they are at a reasonable price(as i am a pensioner)but must admit i would not put my eyes at risk,they are good.

CD - Good work by CD Jnr, nice medal haul!
CW - Photographic evidence below capturing my momentary annoyance at being unsuspectingly out-kicked to the line by the red flash of Reading RR...
Dan - I think you are doing very well to sub-3 after 4 days of standing up and little natural light, hope you can bag a good result next year with just the race to focus on. It is a brilliant event regardless of how we actually do on the day. Nice photo and that's some impressive FV40 running from your team mate!
Muss - Great report, knowing what sporting governing bodies are like, you never know the rules make change again and you could be at Tokyo 2020
LJB - That's a tidy crop of spring marathon results to be proud of, topped off with a Sub-3 on Sunday, nice one!
Wardi - Sorry I missed you at the pub, I was around long enough to swap times with a few peps, consume a large pasty and wash it down with a pint before heading off with my folks.
Ryan - Kudos for having the balls to go for 2:30 even though you said you thought the HR was high early on in the opening miles. You have run an awesome set of marathons in recent months, 2:30 will come! FWIW I felt I did better this year by having no HR data visible at all, last year I had high HR backed off after 10k, when I reckon, looking back at me relative fitness compared to this year, I should have pushed on and would have probably PB'd (instead of been 20secs over). This year, not as fit, but still extracted a reasonable result (2015 +30sec) despite running the first half a bit hot, if I'd been HR-watching on Sunday it would have likely been the other side of 2:34...
SL - a decent training run then?
Got out for first post London run at lunchtime, 6M nice & easy. Legs felt good, just a few aches from the quads and slightly tight calves, which a massage later should help sort out.
Ticktock - good work getting under the 3 hour mark, that's a solid clocking, nice to say hi outside the pub afterwards too. Enjoy the burger!
TT - You're right, I would have done the same thing (well at least tried to!) if it had been me behind...
Coro - Cheers, that was the classic marathon running experience yesterday, not been one to encourage the crowd on before, but pick the right places to do it and get the timing right and it doesn't half give you a lift! I'll ping you a message.
Padams - Marathon training obviously prepares you well for other types of endurance events too!

Yahoo to Buy Oliphant for $71 million source say.
Oliphant is a yet to be chartered company with no employees, no revenue, no technology, no business idea, and no business model.
Sources say that Yahoo is paying the $71 million to an individual who, during a sleep study, dreamed up the idea of selling Oliphant to a major tech company.
The dreamer in question will be introduced Monday morning on CNBC appearing with MM as Yahoo continues to acquire talent and do financially questionable things that still make it look Cool & Hip.
Yahoo is rated a joke by Grey & Company.
Hahaha there was an article about that Summly purchase from some business writer that ripped into it. It had no revenue, less than 1M downloads, and licensed its algorithm to sum articles to 400 words from someone else. I'm creating one too as you've inspired me Grey...it's called Annoyingly! What does it do??? It will pre-read an article I click or post here to see if it makes sense or is dumb then will block it. Come across, a sports blogger writing about the Kardashians...POOF! its gone. Do you know how huge it is since Yahoo changed their privacy policy to stalk you with cookies on their front page? Since I don't have a working algo yet I'll sell it for $20M...$21M so $1M can go to actually making working product. Instead of the dumbing down of society it'll actually INCREASE it as you need each post needs to pass an "intelligence" threshold. Spammers will be gone too! Still_my_dime will like that:)
Annoyingly! I love it.
The only problem I see with your application is that it would be of incredible value to too many of us and if you built it you would actually create a product people would want. What a way to back into millions of dollars.
It would also cause a major increase in hiring as Yahoo and others would have to hire hundreds of thousands of people to write and post enough drivel to somehow try and overpower your algorithm.
By the way, did I mention that I got my season tickets to the Green Bay Packers this year. It is only the 3 game gold package but I could get them now or wait 25+ more years for the 7 game Green package.
Look at the Yahoo shorts crying over their losses. hahahahaha!!!!

The Birds, Daphne Du Maurier, 1952
The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock, 1963
Back to Du Maurier, with her 1952 novelette, The Birds. Set in post-war
England, a community comes under attack by flocks of seabirds. When Alfred
Hitchcock made his 1963 horror film, The Birds, he advised the scriptwriter
Evan Hunter to disregard the Du Maurier original. And although du Maurier
hated Hitchcock's adaptation, the film is a Hitchcock masterpiece, with one
chilling scene using more than 80 camera angles to convey the horror.

Zinc phosphating is a chemical conversion process that has been widely used in industry for corrosion protection and primer for painting. In this investigation, the effect of activation treatment with nickel acetate on the microstructural evolution and corrosion resistance of the zinc phosphate coating on mild steel was studied. The chemical composition and morphology of the coatings were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated using polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in an aerated 3.5% NaCl solution. Surface morphology observations revealed that the activation treatment increased the population density and refined the grain size of the coating. The electrochemical results showed better barrier protection characteristics and corrosion resistance for activated phosphate coatings compared with inactivated coatings.

Monstrance clock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monstrance clock, or mirror clock, developed during the Renaissance. The monstrance was a cross-shaped gold or silver vessel which played an important part in church ritual and often incorporated sacred figures as part of the design. The clock made use of a rotating ball at the top or in the base to indicate the time of day. Monstrance clocks and crucifix clocks remained fashionable until the eighteenth century. [1]
Pop culture references include the song "Monstrance Clock" by Ghost. The song itself has themes of satanic ritual, rather than Renaissance-age Christianity.

Complex industrial processes can be often decomposed into many parallelly working subprocesses, which can, in turn, be modeled using Petri nets. If all the process variables (or events) are assumed to be two-valued signals, then it is possible to obtain a hardware or software control device, which works according to the algorithm described by conventional Petri net. However, the values of real signals are contained in some bounded interval and can be interpreted as events which are not only true or false, but rather true in some degree from the interval [0, 1]. Such a natural interpretation from multivalued logic (fuzzy logic) point of view, concerns sensor outputs, control signals, time expiration, etc. It leads to the idea of FPN as a controller, which one can rather simply obtain, and which would be able to process both analog, and binary signals. In the paper both graphical, and algebraic representations of the proposed FPN are given. The conditions under which transitions can be fired are described. The algebraic description of the net and a theorem which enables computation of new marking in the net, based on current marking, are formulated. Hardware implementation of the FPN, which uses fuzzy JK flip-flops and fuzzy gates, are proposed. An example illustrating usefulness of the proposed FPN for control algorithm description and its synthesis as a controller device for the concrete production process are presented.

Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse found dead after mistakenly patching through a prank call at the London hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated, reportedly left a suicide note, according to London's Evening Standard.
Although the newspaper claims the nurse left a suicide note to her husband Ben Barboza and children Junal, 17, and Lisha, 14, a representative for the family says that they still want answers.

"There are unexplained circumstances," Labour MP Keith Vaz said. "The family want to know everything. All the facts, fully and clearly. The hospital needs to be more proactive, a full inquiry is needed and the family need to be included in that."
Last week, two Australian DJs pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, asking for information about Middleton, who was hospitalized with severe morning sickness at the time. Saldanha answered the call at the reception desk and patched it through to Middleton's room, where a nurse provided detailed information about Middleton's well-being, thinking she was speaking to members of the Royal Family. The interview was broadcast on the radio show and picked up worldwide. Saldanha was later found unconscious near the hospital and pronounced dead by police.
"I am devastated with the tragic loss of my beloved wife Jacintha in tragic circumstances," Saldanha's husband said on his Facebook page. "She will be laid to rest in Shirva, India."

Corn, Soy Called to Open Higher on Dry Weather; Wheat May Jump
What follows are opening calls for U.S. grain and oilseed markets, which open at 5 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade.
-- Corn futures may open 19 cents to 20 cents a bushel higher on the Chicago Board of Trade on forecasts for dry weather in U.S. growing areas, said Jeff McReynolds, owner of McReynolds Marketing and Investments in Hays, Kansas. The southeastern and eastern Midwest will see little rainfall in the next seven to 10 days, Telvent DTN said in a report today.
-- Soybean futures may open up 40 cents to 45 cents a bushel in Chicago as dry weather threatens production, McReynolds said by telephone. The Department of Agriculture yesterday said about 56 percent of the U.S. crop was in good or excellent condition, down from 60 percent a week earlier. Ratings may decline further if no rain falls on fields this week, McReynolds said.
-- Wheat futures may open 10 cents to 20 cents a bushel higher on the CBOT, the Kansas City Board of Trade and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange because of the hot weather, McReynolds said.
