Why do we look the way we do? What does the human hand have in common with the wing of a fly? Are breasts, sweat glands, and scales connected in some way? To better understand the inner workings of our bodies and to trace the origins of many of today's most common diseases, we have to turn to unexpected sources: worms, flies, and even fish.

Why do we look the way we do? What does the human hand have in common with the wing of a fly? Are breasts, sweat glands, and scales connected in some way? To better understand the inner workings of our bodies and to trace the origins of many of today's most common diseases, we have to turn to unexpected sources: worms, flies, and even fish.
Neil Shubin, a leading paleontologist and professor of anatomy who discovered Tiktaalik—the "missing link" that made headlines around the world in April 2006—tells the story of evolution by tracing the organs of the human body back millions of years, long before the first creatures walked the earth. By examining fossils and DNA, Shubin shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our head is organized like that of a long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genome look and function like those of worms and bacteria.
Shubin makes us see ourselves and our world in a completely new light. Your Inner Fish is science writing at its finest—enlightening, accessible, and told with irresistible enthusiasm.

Dr. Schubin has truly succeeded in tracing a fun and informative account of human evolution by looking at fossil and extant homologues. Drawing (especially) from paleontology, but also from fields such as molecular genetics, Schubin takes the reader on an introductory ride through vertebrate form, function, and genetics. I would highly recommend this title as a must-have to any person interested in the biological, medical, or paleontological sciences, whether professional or avocational.
Among many reasons that make evolution of life such a fascinating subject to study, the fact that we can learn more about how we humans have become what we are today must rank close to the top. This is the basic premise behind Neil Shubin's "Your Inner Fish." Shubin's day job is field paleontologist, but the idea for this book came about when he taught some laboratory exercises in human anatomy. It turns out that his training in recognizing and categorizing bones of long-extinct creatures is an excellent preparation for understanding of how the human body works. The book is a fascinating and insightful journey into the 3.5 billion years of evolution. It combines scientific facts and information with personal stories and anecdotes. The scientific information is fresh and relevant, and it is not just a regurgitation of the material that can be found in a myriad other books on evolution. These facts really help you with gaining insight into how exactly all life on Earth is related. The last major chapter is probably the most interesting. It is an examination of the way that many of our chronic diseases and illnesses can be traced to the very restricted design options that evolution had. There really is a price that we pay for getting to where we are in the evolutionary development.
A very good book. Well written. The author makes a good case of connecting with our past(500 million years ago as a fish) As a human being it is good to know that "Natural Selection" is a feasible cause and affect than a belief in a myth. I'm ready for a more realistic interpretation of how I came to be,even if it means in updating of my personal beliefs.
This small-sized book teaches many of the key aspects of evolution by focusing features of you and me, like our hands and eyes and necks, and shows how they developed over the millennia from more ancient critters, not just earlier mammals or vertebrates but all the way back to bacteria. A really fun book to read, and nonetheless solidly accurate and never over-simplifying complex issues.
This book is not about faith please put that behind you and you enjoy it.
The prominent University of Chicago Paleontologist and Professor of Anatomy Neil Shubin graciously narrates the long Geological journey that has led to the structure and function of our current biological system. Shubin's account of his discovery of the 375 million year fish from Ellesmere Island is a warm tale of modern science in one of its finest lights. The timeline he provides of the 375 million years passed since Tiktaalik is thoroughly engaging and bound to have any curious reader interested in our life history and common ancestry hooked until the end. Shubin's work is certain to enlighten all. Scientist or non-scientist, you will learn something new, and at the very least you are destined to gain a greater appreciate of life!
This is a wonderfully written and engaging book which takes one on a paleontologist's journey to undersrtand the human body. The story line of discovery is quite enganging and the writing is basic and accessible to general readers yet makes accurate connections to recent discoveries and work. I highly recommend this book as essential reading for those who have a human body or know any human bodies. For Human Anatomy and Physiology students: it is a great way to quiz yourself!
A fascinating read that really makes you think. So interesting to see an esteemed scientist like Shubin taking on this subject so successfully, getting into the nitty gritty of what evolution is and what it is not. The only problem was that at times it could be quite dry and sometimes slow to read. On that note, I just finished another book that also really made me think. NATURAL SELECTION by Dave Freedman. It's a Jurassic Park type book - a science-based action-thriller about the evolution of a new species of flying predator. What made it special - besides how incredibly fast those pages turned - was how fun, relatable and easy-to-understand it made evolution, a great 'fictional compliment' to anything by Shubin.
Extremely insightful and worth the read, A wonderful book if you are already well versed in the world of Evolutionary biology or if you just have a basic interest. It is intelligent enough to not spoon feed data to you, but also explained well enough so that anyone who picks it up can read it, I have read several books on Evolution (It is the largest category in my personal library) And this has got to be one of my all time favorites
The difficulty with understanding evolution is that you need to read more than one or two books to get a grasp on it. This is one of those books.
Your Inner Fish discusses human evolution by tracing the origins of human bodies back millions of years and showing how we have similarities to many other species. Shubin provides a completely new perspective on our existence and how our world came to be what it is today. In the summer of 2004, Shubin and his colleagues were exploring ancient stream beds of the Arctic Circle when they made they discovered the amazing fossil, which they named Tiktaalik. This fossil is approximately three-hundred and seventy-five million years old, living in the late Devonian period. A number of distinctions set this creature apart from any other that had been discovered. Shubin explains, "Like a fish, it has scales on its back and fins with fin webbing. But, like early land-living animals, it has a flat head and a neck." He describes the similarities we have with other species through in the formation of limbs, teeth, and body structure, and the development of smell, vision, and hearing, among other characteristics. On a smaller scale, he discusses DNA and its role in unifying all living creatures. Shubin uses an analogy of a cake recipe passed from generation to generation to explain the evolution. He states, "The recipe that builds our bodies has been passed down, and modified, for eons." We can trace the mutation of genes back through animals and the fossils of past animals to understand how scent genes have occurred and evolved. Similar stories can be traced for vision and hearing. Ancient fossils studied by paleontologists hold immeasurable information about human evolution. Shubin write, "The real power of this family tree lies in the predictions it allows us to make." Shubin discusses how our "inner fish" makes us sick. He explains. "Our deep history was spent, at different times, in ancient oceans, small streams, and savannahs, not office buildings, ski slopes, and tennis courts. This disconnect between our past and our human present means that our bodies fall apart in certain predictable ways." I thought this was a very interesting statement because we could consider a lot of what we do to be unnatural, and that's not what our bodies have been designed for. Virtually every disease we have has a historical root. Shubin discusses the reasons for obesity, heart disease, choking, sleep apnea, hernias, and even hiccups. We produce speech using controlled motion of the tongue, larynx, and back of the throat. Shubin states that this is a relatively small modification from the basic design of mammals and reptiles. The larynx corresponds to the gill bars of a shark or fish. However, sleep apnea is a trade-off for the ability to talk. This book provides insight into the many facets of human evolution and explores the "inner fish" in all of us. Shubin succeeds in explaining the evolution of our bodies in a way than any person can follow and appreciate. I find it amazing how much we can learn from ancient fossils found in rocks that are millions of years old. Shubin concludes this book quite appropriately, stating, "I can imagine few things more beautiful or intellectually profound than finding the basis for our humanity, and remedies for many of the ills we suffer, nestled inside some of the most humble creatures that have ever lived on our planet."
Such an awe-inspiring book. If you know the principles of evolution, you will still be wonderstruck at the beauty of the journey as described by Shubin.
Such an exposition told with great humanity. A page-turner!
Captivating treatise on human evolution. I learned so much about my body, can't wait to read Shubin's latest book. Highly recommend.
This was interesting and well structured, i learned several things about how parts our bodies evolved from simpller ancestor forms It flowed so well it was a pleasure to read I Highly recommend it Alan Hickox
Entertaining and imformative for both scientists as well as the interested public
The ideal of design is perfection - an object so well put together that the alteration of the slightest detail ruins the overall effect. La Gioconda. More commonly, design can be classified as "organic". A simple concept embellished by contingency. Make do with what you have available. Sometimes contingency can lead to its own beauty - more often it's a mess. In this little book, Neil Shubin provides an overview of a number of perspectives by which one can trace the evolutionary history of the human body from the earliest single-cell (despite the title) organism. The author takes us on a somewhat breathless romp through evolutionary anatomy and physiology in what amounts, often, to a textbook update. He opens Your Inner Fish with an excellent description of the frustrations, triumphs, luck and hard work of paleontological field exploration. In the chapters that follow he combines humor and expertise in detailing the evolutionary paths to human appendages, the parallels between anatomy and genetics, between physiology and biochemistry. Along the way he finds time to discuss the evolutionary implications of such diverse topics as hiccups and hernias. Like S. J. Gould, Shubin comes up short in making the fundamental connection between architecture and phylogeny. Why not, in the assembly of limbs, 5, many, 2, 1 or even 4, 1, 3, 2 instead of 1, 2, many, 5? Is the order inevitable or accidental? Is ET a cute joke or a reasonable alternative? The book could well have been titled "A brief introduction to human comparative anatomy", but that would not have been very sexy. However, "brief" should have been appended to the title, for that would have helped to soften the books major flaw - too much is attempted in too little space, especially when one takes into account a bit too much repetition. The author does redeem himself to some degree with an excellent set of annotated notes that includes a solid selection of additional readings. Shubin deserves kudos for taking on such a daunting task and coming up with a fine book that is well worth the read and an excellent starting point for further exploration. Richard R.

I'm trying to speed up my site a bit. How can I add Expire headers to images I upload? Must this be done with Apache configuration, or is there a setting or plugin to do the job?
This can be done with Apache configuration, I have used this snippet in the past in .htaccess:
Can be set up with plugin as well. W3 Total Cache (which I currently use) can do that among other things.
Overall this is not a huge performance factor. Modern browsers are smart enough about caching images even without expires set.

Résumé :
Three people gather to determine the fate of the man who sits in a straight-backed chair saying nothing. He is Alex Macklin, who gave up easel painting to do land art in the southwestern desert, and he is seventy now, helpless in the wake of a second stroke. The people around him are the bearers of a complicated love, his son, his young wife, the older woman -- his wife of years past -- who feels the emotional tenacity of a love long-ended. It is their question to answer. When does life end, and when should it end? In this remote setting, without seeking medical or legal guidance, they move unsteadily toward last things. Luminous, spare, unnervingly comic and always deeply moving, Love-Lies-Bleeding explores a number of perilous questions about the value of life and how we measure it. --Publisher.

Before I go ahead and try to code my own, are there any functions / libraries for PHP which will generate SVG images with text wrapped to a bounding box?
I'm looking for a function which will accept a string and a bonding box, along the lines of:
So if
$text were "The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog" and
$width were 125, the SVG file might show:
The Quick Brown
Fox Jumped
Over The Lazy
This XML.com article looks like what I'd use, but it's ECMAScript built into the SVG. I'm looking for something that generates pure SVG with no scripts (so it could be read by Adobe Illustrator, for example)
Before I re-code their algorithm in PHP, does anything like this already exist?

VIERA, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida woman who authorities say left her dog to die in a locked crate without food or water has been sentenced to eight months in jail.
Christine Abrams also was sentenced Thursday to one year of
probation, 80 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine.
The 30-year-old Abrams will not be allowed to keep any animals as pets
during her probation.
Prosecutors say she left her 2-year-old German shepherd, Ella, locked in a crate for two months after she moved out of her Cocoa home to live with a new roommate.
Abrams waved her right to a trial and entered a plea of no contest.
Her lawyer, Andrew Stine, said his client was remorseful.

Utilizing 4-digit industry data by county,we compare the allocation of resourcesacross industries in state capital areaswith noncapital areas. We are able toidentify which industries are expanded andcontracted relative to noncapital areas. Our results provide the first directevidence and measurement of the forgoneproductive activity resulting fromresources being reallocated toward rentseeking and interest group activity. Ourdata also allow us to measure total rentseeking, and also to isolate the extent ofindirect and in-kind rent seeking, whichcan account for part of the Tullockparadox.

We report on tests of a radionuclide imaging system for in vivo investigations in small animals with low-energy photons as from 125I (27-35 keV). Imaging optics features a high-resolution coded aperture mask and a fine pitch hybrid pixel detector (silicon 300-mum or 700-mum thick, or CdTe 1 mm thick) of the Medipix2 series (55 mum pitch, 256 x 256 pixels). The coded aperture had 480 70-mum holes in 100-mum-thick tungsten. Laboratory tests with a 109Cd 22 keV source and a microfocus X-ray tube (35 kVp, Mo anode) show a system resolution of about 110 mum at magnification m = 2.12 and a sensitivity improvement of 30:1 as compared to a 300-mum pinhole collimator. The field of view also depends on magnification: in the experiments presented, it varied from 6 mm (m = 2.12) to 21 mm (m = 0.66). 125I in vivo mouse thyroid imaging with the 70 mum coded aperture, a 300 mum pinhole and a 100 mum parallel hole collimator was also performed to obtain a qualitative comparison. This low energy, semiconductor-based, compact gamma-ray imaging system can be used as a gamma-ray sub-millimeter resolution imager for energies below about 35 keV and it is the basic imaging unit of a small animal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography system (MediSPECT) built at University of Napoli Federico II and Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Napoli.

Beloved Community: Celebrating the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Making Disaster Relief Quilts with Students and Faculty at Dartmouth
Monday, January 28th, 2013 at 10:23 am
A Dartmouth student pins the edges of a Quilt with the help of Irma Graf from OSLC and Ulla Sonnerup, a regular quilting group participant.
Each January, the Dartmouth College community in Hanover, N.H., honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And for the past five years, one way they've celebrated Dr. King is through service — by making LWR Quilts.
"Dr. King aspired to better the world, envisioning a land of equality and of benevolence,†says Gina M. D'Andrea-Penna, a student who participated in the service project. "The quilting project relates to his vision and legacy in promoting generosity, particularly toward people who are experiencing troubled times.â€
The project takes place in the student center where students, staff and members of the surrounding community are encouraged to drop in when they can. And there's something for everyone to do, no matter their experience or skill level.
"It was fun that anybody who wished to participate in the quilting was able to contribute in some way,†says D'Andrea-Penna.
The service project is led by the quilting group from Our Savior Lutheran Church (OSLC), also in Hanover. The group is used to engaging people at various levels of skill and experience, which is part of why the group has seen phenomenal growth in its quilting participation over the years.
"We encourage people of all ages to come to quilt: men, boys and girls, families, older folks. They don't need to have any experience. We teach them,†says Susan Ferraro, the parish administrator at OSLC.
OSLC's quilting ministry started out donating about 15 LWR Quilts a year, but in the last eight years they've donated more than 1,600 through the success of semi-monthly sewing days and special "quilting marathons†that drew participation from outside the church.
Nancy Bloomfield, Dartmouth Class of 99, and Danra Kazenski sew a beautiful quilt top as part of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day festivities.
It was this kind of community outreach that inspired a partnership with Dartmouth College.
Pastors Susan and Michael Thomas are co-pastors at OSLC and serve as Lutheran campus ministers at Dartmouth. In 2008, they reached out to Kurt Nelson, then a campus chaplain working with the college's William Jewett Tucker Foundation, which provides service opportunities for Dartmouth students. Together, they organized the first ever quilting marathon at Dartmouth in 2009. During the quilting marathon, held as a part of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day festivities, students completed 11 quilt tops, which the OSLC group then completed.
And students continue to enjoy the service project each year. Last year the Men of Color Alliance at Dartmouth chose quilting as their annual service project; this year a sorority did the same.
On January 21, the day of this year's quilting marathon, at least 40 people could be found participating in the project. By the end of the day, there were 19 Quilts and several more quilt tops completed!
The students appreciated the opportunity for service and could see the connection between quilting and Dr. King's message of unity and care for those less fortunate.
Shianne Sebastian, a student and recipient of a scholarship in honor of Dr. King, says, "I believe that this project really relates to Dr. King's Legacy because he stood for giving back to your community.â€
Pastor Susan Thomas sees quilting as a unique and fitting way to carry forward Dr. King's vision. "It's been inspiring to see the students, in particular, connecting to this hands-on work,†she says, "The 'beloved community' Dr. King spoke so eloquently about is certainly a global one!

My husband and I just loved this dish! It was better than what we get at our local Thai restaurant. We made a little extra sauce to suit our own taste. We didn't know how much hot sauce to add, so we just guessed, but it was awesome! It really did satisfy our craving for Thai, and we'll be making it often. I registered on this site just to be able to review this recipe! Thanks!
Doubled the recipe (we had company) and I didn't add the cauliflower but otherwise followed the instructions. Very delicious! Next time I might add more sauce but since none of the dish was leftover it was ok. Served with Chinese Take-Out: Egg Drop Soup#509630 and Shrimp and Mushroom Egg Foo Young- (Better Than Take-Out)#450315. Made for Spring PAC 2014.
Good dish. I ommited the celery and cauliflower; only because I did not think it would maintain the texture. I could be wrong. It does have a nice flavour. Leanne

Jews control the us!!!!
Old member, new name. Yes, yes I am paranoid.
No I do not agree. there is no fact or pretense of fact for such an opinion. If your coworker truly believes this, the perhaps you should suggest he convert or stop complaining.
In our community we prefer to not taint our children's minds with filth, unlike most of you, with your evolution and cleavage. -FakeMurielCompton
Well, you've really made your re-entry to BHB an interesting one.
Hakuna your tatas
I'm Catholic, but I'm okay with Jews controlling the country. I have to go make cupcakes now.
I think they should keep their opinions to themselves and look at who is king of the hill in their own backyard.
The fact that the US is pro-Israel isn't a secret and never has been.

Terrible temperature control
By jjgeddes3
from Minneapolis, MN
Single temperature adjustment would not keep food frozen and not freeze food in the refrigerator portion. Can choose frozen lettuce or soupy ice cream. Multiple repair calls and no solution I am currently waiting for total breakdown so I can buy a different refrigerator.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not a good buy
By Mel
from Covington LA
After 3 years we have lost several gallons of ice cream. About once a month it stops freezing then goes back to freezing. Makes no sense! The refrigerator will freeze your lettuce. Too small for more than 2 people.
frustrating drawer and center temp control
By rah105
from stroudsburg, pa
Drawer for meat and cheese falls off track constantly. Temp. control is smack center of top of refrig. making it impossible to put milk in center....Freezer sits too low, making a person have to stoop over to see inside refrigerator (and we're short!). came with a dent... Only had two years- had to buy due to space in new home for fridg. Thinking about putting in the garage since it's such a frustration and getting something else. Daughters have different brands and no problems. Dealer was supposed to come and try to fix drawer and replace door. however, due to severely harsh winter and our driveway, we could not get them to us and warranty expired. Also, freezer does not freeze food well. have to use other freezer for ice cream.
Good refrigerator at a good price
By Sherwoods12
from Nampa, Idaho
Our garage refrigerator was dying and we got a great price on a new Whirlpool. So far it works great and it is very quiet. Roomy bright interior.We expect to see a drop in our electric bill also, but have not had it long enough to find out how much.I have recommended Whirlpool to a friend who was interested in our new purchase.
new fridge
By Junior
from taneytown, Md.
It has been doing a fine job so far. It does not run near as much as the one I replaced.
By Momma
from Farmington, Utah
I don't like the interior water dispenser very good. But since we are using is as the extra fridge in the garage, it isn't too much of a problem. The shelving space isn't as efficient as I would like, I wish it were more flexible.The FreshFlow produce preserver seems to be very useful so far.
Good design!
By Organized Chef!
from Plymouth, MA.
Recently purchased a new home which came with a new Whirlpool refrigerator. I would have preferred the freezer on the bottom but am very happy with what I have.I find the capacity great! Moving from my previous home my refrigerator had very little space. Now I have more room than food.The shelf arrangement is easy to use and well organized.I am completely happy with my refrigerator!
Lots of space.
By Sunshine C. J.
from AL
This one is very simple but sleek. Lots of space inside and the 2 drawers are of very good size.
Piece of junk
By Disappointed
from Davis ca
1 day after warranty, plastic pieces broke off. It died after only 3 years-oh- and poor customer service. Back to Kenmore for me!

(Mitchell Leff/Getty Images)At a time when some big-name prospects are hitting the majors — the Cardinals' Oscar Taveras and the Astros' Jonathan Singleton being the most notable of recent weeks, with the Pirates' Gregory Polanco presumably imminent — the Mets' demotion of Travis d'Arnaud on Saturday is a sobering reminder that not every heralded rookie lights the world on fire upon arrival.To an even greater extent than his fellow Mets, d'Arnaud was struggling mightily at the plate, batting just .180/.271/.273 through 145 plate appearances. Pair that with a similarly unimpressive showing in 112 PA last year, and he now owns a .189/.277/.269 line through 257 PA at the major league level, for a 57 OPS+. Though above average in pitch framing (+5.0 runs in his two seasons), he's been below-average defensively with regards to the running game (21 percent caught stealing rate) and pitch blocking (-0.7 runs).A 2007 supplemental first-round pick by the Phillies who has since been included as a key piece in blockbuster deals for Roy Halladay and R.A. Dickey, d'Arnaud has been a fixture on prospect lists for the past several years; he's the rare prospect to crack the Baseball America Top 100 five times, peaking at number 17 in 2012 and remaining at 38 this spring; meanwhile, he's been on the past three top-100s of MLB.com (22nd this year), ESPN (36th this year) and Baseball Prospectus (48th this year) as well. Injuries have been a big part of why he hadn't exhausted his rookie status prior to this year; he's topped 71 games in a season just twice (2009 and 2011), with a herniated disc (2010), a torn posterior cruciate ligament (2012), a broken foot (2013) and a concussion (2014) just some of the maladies that have slowed his progress. He was just 3-for-26 since returning from a 15-day stint on the DL due to a concussion — his second in three years — caused by an Alfonso Soriano backswing.With the equivalent of less than half a major league season under his belt, it's too early to label d'Arnaud a bust. The same goes for these other top-100 prospects, all of whom have struggled mightily in the majors this year to the point that a return to the minors may make sense.Jackie Bradley Jr., Red SoxWith Jacoby Ellsbury's departure to the Yankees via free agency, the 24-year-old Bradley — ranked as high as 23rd by Baseball Prospectus — was expected to take over the starting centerfield job, but he's hit just .203/.286/.294 through 211 PA while striking out 30.8 percent of the time. Unfortunately for the Sox, both Shane Victorino and Mike Carp are on the disabled list, while neither Daniel Nava (.167.257/.256) nor Grady Sizemore (.222/.291/.333) has been very effective either, making it harder to demote Bradley than it might otherwise be. Victorino's return later this month could change that.Billy Hamilton, RedsBlazing speed is the calling card of this 23-year-old, who stole 75 bases in the minors last year, added 13 in 13 September games for the Reds, and came into the year ranked as high as No. 37 (MLB.com) on prospect lists. While he's swiped 23 bags thus far, Hamilton has hit just .253/.288/.351, yet Reds manager Bryan Price — taking a page from predecessor Dusty Baker, perhaps — has stubbornly resisted moving him out of the leadoff spot. The Reds' .280 OBP from that slot is the worst in the majors, and in unrelated news, their 3.49 runs per game is the league's third-lowest mark.Jake Odorizzi, RaysLike d'Arnaud, Odorizzi — a supplemental first-round pick by the Brewers in 2008 — has been part of two blockbusters, namely the Zack Greinke and James Shields ones. Prior to this year, he made the BA and BP prospect list four times while accumulating six starts and three relief appearances in the majors. With their rotation thinned by the losses of Jeremy Hellickson, Alex Cobb and Matt Moore, Odorizzi has been a fixture in Tampa Bay this year, but he's been lit up for a 5.31 ERA in 12 turns. While he's striking out an eye-opening 11.1 batters per nine, he's burning an AL-high 4.37 pitches per plate appearance and averaging just 4.8 innings per turn; thus, he's made just three quality starts out of 12. Cobb is back, and Hellickson could be by the end of the month, so it's conceivable that a reckoning for Odorizzi could be in order soon.Mike Olt, CubsOlt was on the major prospect lists in both 2012 and 2013, but blurred vision in the wake of a winter league beaning caused his performance to suffer and his stock to tumble; he failed to crack any of the lists this year. Traded to the Cubs in the Matt Garza deal last summer, he's seen semi-regular duty at third base, but has hit an impossibly low .153/.237/.372 in 156 PA, with his nine homers only partially offsetting a .158 BABIP. With Luis Valbuena hitting .267/.382/.433 while sharing time at third and second base, and top prospect Kris Bryant crushing at Double-A, Olt's window of opportunity in Chicago probably won't last much longer.Jonathan Schoop, OriolesThe 22-year-old Curaçao native, who has ranked in the 80s on BP's list for the past three years, broke camp with the Orioles despite having hit just .256/.301/.396 in 70 games at Triple-A last year, a stint abbreviated by a stress fracture in his back. Between Manny Machado's knee injury and general manager Dan Duquette's failure to secure a more established second baseman from outside the organization, the Orioles have found regular playing time in their infield for Schoop. While his defense has been acceptable, he's hit just .223/.263/.346 through 199 PA — including .211/.259/.303 since May 1 — with an appalling 42/5 strikeout-to-walk ratio. With Machado likely to get some kind of suspension, the chances of Schoop being sent out anytime soon are quite small. More The Strike Zone

AbstractThe Real-Time Structure From Motion (RTSFM) system combines state-of-the-art techniques and novel methods to compute 3D models of battlefields in real time from calibrated image sequences. Unlike most computational stereo approaches, the work is tailored for long sequences of calibrated imagery under near-planar small-baseline motion – sequences typically generated from loitering unmanned aerial vehicles. The stereo correspondence approach is based on simulated annealing, a stochastic iterative optimization technique, and depth estimates are also influenced recursively by previous estimates. An abstract 3D surface model based on a hybrid Voronoi-BSPT (binary space partition tree) representation is incrementally generated and refined, enabling low-bandwidth incremental transmission off the aerial platform. RTSFM is a combined hardware/software system with some critical system components implemented in field-programmable gate arrays. This approach facilitates novel methods for optimizing image frame processing order, for seeding stereo correspondence calculations, and for recursive camera parameter estimate refinement. Together these reduce the computational requirements of the system such that accurate real-time 3D modeling is feasible. RTSFM directly increases the warfighter's ability to execute combat operations by improved situational awareness. It also enables improved approaches for automatic target recognition, operations against aboveground and underground structures, battlefield damage assessment, and many other tasks.

Tent City - The festival was in Knebworth park
Sonisphere was, for a change, a very well organized event. With two main stages that rotated the bands - the crowds moving between the two stages (the main stage on one side and the 2nd stage on the opposite), it allowed time to setup stages for bands while music was still on going from the other stage..
The main stage
Flags from the various nationals coming to Sonisphere
Its a small world... I met a collegue from work!
Alice in Chains took to the stage - from left to right, Mike Inez (bass), William DuVall (lead Vocals), Jerry Cantrell (lead Guitar), Sean Kinney (Drums)
Jerry Cantrell on Guitar
Cantrell on Solo
William DuVall (new lead vocals) & Mike Inez (Bass)
The sun hidding behind clouds in Knebworth park and the fan with the St. George flag walking around... i couldnt resist the oppertunity.
As always, there was an Israeli to be found in the crowd (other then me)... and so we had the Israeli embassey at sonisphere (all 3 of us!), I spotted them while waiting for Metallica and approched... they had just arrived from Australia (backpacking) and came to Sonisphere after which they were due to fly back to Israel... Globetrotting is a good thing.
The two Israeli's were on a mission to get to the front of the stage...
Metallica enter the stage
Rows of crowds
Juggling light sticks in Sonisphere
Alice in Chains take to the stage in the Scala club
In the words of Jerry Cantrell (when the photo was taken) - "The Israeli hit squad does Alice!" (this was after I had a chat with him about the song "Rooster" which he wrote about his dad (that served in Vietnam) and our conversation went on to talk about Israeli's doing military service.

U.K.'s Benchmark FTSE 100 Index Advances to 14-Year High
U.K. stocks advanced to their highest level since 1999 after a report that Germany's Bundesbank is willing to support stimulus measures from the European Central Bank.
Barratt Developments Plc and Persimmon Plc climbed 3.2 percent each after a report that house prices in the City of London and its fringe increased almost 16 percent in the year through April. EasyJet Plc dropped 4.2 percent after saying second-half per-seat revenue will grow in low single-digit percentage.
The FTSE 100 Index added 21.33 points, or 0.3 percent, to 6,873.08 at the close in London, the highest level since December 1999. The broader FTSE All-Share Index also rose 0.3 percent, while Ireland's ISEQ Index fell 0.7 percent.
"The markets are focusing on wide-ranging factors that have been helping sentiment," said Henk Potts, who helps oversee about $310 billion as a strategist at Barclays Wealth & Investment Management in London. "M&A activity tends to be a big driving influence in terms of markets and we're seeing the benefit of that coming through. There's lots of be enthusiastic about given the surprisingly strong and improving economic backdrop."
Germany's central bank is willing to back ECB measures next month if staff forecasts show lower 2016 inflation outlook for the euro area, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Builders Rally
Barratt gained 3.2 percent to 386.3 pence, while Persimmon rose 3.2 percent to 1,404 pence. House prices in London's financial core climbed 15.7 percent in the year through April, Knight Frank LLP said. Prices in Canary Wharf, the redeveloped dockland that has emerged as London's second business district, jumped 16.2 percent.
"The booming U.K. housing market continues to be strong indeed with improving confidence in that sector," Barclays's Potts said. "Expectations of the housing market are that demand will be strong for some time."
Taylor Wimpey Plc rallied 7.6 percent to 114.4 pence. The U.K.'s third-biggest homebuilder said it expects its operating-profit margin to widen by at least 300 basis points this year.
AstraZeneca Plc rose 0.7 percent to 4,642 pence. Pfizer Inc. Chief Executive Officer Ian Read appeared before Parliament today in a bid to persuade lawmakers that his company's bid to take over AstraZeneca is good for the British economy. AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot also spoke to legislators, telling them he couldn't rule out accepting an offer from Pfizer. Pfizer plans to sweeten the $102 billion offer, people with knowledge of the matter said.
EasyJet Outlook
EasyJet dropped 4.2 percent to 1,658 pence, its biggest decline since February, after saying per-seat revenue will post low single-digit percentage growth in the second half. RBC Capital Markets analyst Damian Brewer said the outlook most likely reflects caution about the impact on sales of the looming World Cup soccer competition in Brazil.
Vodafone Group Plc fell 2.1 percent to 219.85 pence. U.S. rival AT&T Inc. is said to be in advanced talks to acquire DirecTV for about $50 billion, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.
London Stock Exchange Group Plc lost 2.5 percent to 1,808 pence. The exchange said it is weighing a purchase of Russell Investments Ltd., the indexing and fund-management unit of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. and intends to fund it by raising equity.

In Python 2.x, using backticks to get decimal string from int object is Horrible?
Because backticks are

In Python source, they have same function in Python source, intobject.c
(reprfunc)int_to_decimal_string, /* tp_repr */

Gates Speech Reveals Deep Splits in NATO
By Alan Woods
Progressive America Rising via In Defense of Marxism
London, June 17, 2011 – A decade ago George W Bush and the neo-cons took advantage of 9/11 and combined pseudo-democratic demagogy with a thirst for revenge to launch American foreign policy on the road of brute military force. But after the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the wake of the deepest slump since the 1930s, the mood has changed.
A few months before the tenth anniversary of 9/11, an article published in The Financial Times carried the headline: "US loses its appetite for job as the world's policeman". This title sums up the changed position of the US in world politics. It is a reflection of the fact that ten years later the effects of the bombing of the Twin Towers have begun to wear off. The poisonous fog of chauvinism has dissipated, leaving America with a bad headache.
The changed situation is shown by Washington's attitude to the Libya crisis. The confusion in Washington over how the US should respond to the epoch-making changes in the Middle East signals the arrival of a new era in US foreign policy. The Arab Revolution has thrown the whole of the Middle East and North Africa into the melting pot. It has dissolved all the old certainties, undermined the old safe allies of Washington and thrown its foreign policy into confusion and reduced to ashes the boastful notion of the New World Order. US imperialism was at a loss to understand these events, which it had not predicted and which it did not expect.
Analysts in Washington were shocked to realize that the US administration had no control over the Arab street, and that it is no easy job to re-establish America's lost influence and authority in what is a key element in its international strategy. Washington is having serious difficulties in reconciling its traditional foreign policy interests with a revolutionary movement in favour of real democracy.

Ellis enters break on high note
• Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks: 37 points, 8 rebounds, two 3-pointers against the Celtics.
• Rajon Rondo, Celtics: 19 points, 15 rebounds, 14 assists versus Dallas.
• Brandon Roy, Trail Blazers: 37 points (14-21 FG), three 3-pointers, two steals against Golden State.
• Kelenna Azubuike, Warriors: 6 points (1-6 FG) in 25 minutes against the Blazers.
• Luol Deng, Bulls: 6 points, 3 rebounds versus Miami.
• Kendrick Perkins, Celtics: 0 points, 9 rebounds, a block, 4 turnovers in 26 minutes against the Mavericks.
Under the boards
Ben Gordon's 34-point effort wasn't enough to hold off Dwyane Wade and the Heat on Thursday night, when a late dunk by Shawn Marion sealed the deal for Miami. Gordon didn't get much help from teammate Luol Deng (6 points, 3 rebounds), as he struggled to get anything going on the offensive end. Tyrus Thomas continued his solid play with 15 points, eight rebounds, a steal and two blocks in the loss. He's been uncharacteristically consistent as of late and should be owned in all fantasy formats at the moment. Still, one has to wonder if the inconsistency will reappear sometime soon. Perhaps motivated by a matchup with Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley went off for 21 points, seven rebounds, a steal, two blocks and a 3-pointer. If Beasley could only bring that type of effort to the court every night. Greg Oden managed to score eight points while grabbing 11 rebounds, despite playing just 18 minutes in Portland's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Foul trouble was the culprit again for Oden, and as much as I wish I could be optimistic about Oden's prospects for the second half, I just can't due to his constant foul trouble. With Monta Ellis hot, it was Jamal Crawford's stats that suffered the most, as he took just nine shots from the floor and finished with 12 points. It won't always be Crawford who suffers when Ellis is hot, but owners should be aware that there is not enough rock for Ellis, Crawford, Corey Maggette and Stephen Jackson to share once Ellis is back to form. Ronny Turiaf continued his stellar play with Andris Biedrins out of the lineup with 14 points, 11 rebounds and a block in the victory against the Blazers. Keep Turiaf in mind if Biedrins' ankle injury lingers after the break.

Digital Photography and Linux
As mentioned previously, CinePaint is a fork of The GIMP. The program was developed to meet the needs of image retouchers in the movie industry. One of the requirements was the ability to work with high-resolution images. Consequently, CinePaint has native support for RAW images and other high-bit formats. The trade-off is the inability to use GIMP plugins. There is work in progress to correct this, but it is in the development branch of the project. Still, the program shares many features with The GIMP, so if you are looking for some fairly advanced editing of high-bit images, it is a simple step up (Figure 10).
It is possible for a relative beginner to work with digital images in Linux. The tools exist, and if not installed by default, are readily available. My personal work flow is to use XSane for scanning my print and slide collection, digiKam for bringing in images from my digital camera and The GIMP for retouching images. This article has touched on the basics of the programs explored. See the on-line Resources for a wealth of documentation for those who want to delve deeper.
Versions of Software Discussed in This Article
The GIMP 2.2.8
CinePaint 0.19-1
digiKam 0.7.2
F-Spot 0.1.3
Kooka 0.44
XSane 0.97
gimp-ufraw 0.5
The Lowdown on RAW files
RAW images are, in essence, digital negatives. They represent the uncorrected output of the digital camera sensor. As such, they contain more photo information than a processed JPEG. For instance, a RAW will have bit depth of 12–14 per color versus that of 8 for a JPEG. The result is an image that allows for more editing opportunities. The downside is that this information increases the size of the files, so fewer images will fit on a memory card.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Banjar or Banjarese (Urang Banjar in Banjarese language; اورڠ بنجر in Jawi script) are a native ethnic group in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Several centuries ago, some of them had travelled to many places in the Malay archipelago. They set up pockets of settlement there, in Perak (mostly in Bagan Serai, Parit Buntar, Sungai Manik and Teluk Intan), Selangor around (Sabak Bernam, Sekinchan, Sungai Besar and Tanjung Karang), in Johor (Batu Pahat), in Singapore as well as other places.
The Proto-Malay people migrated to Borneo in 2500 BC. They were the ancestors of the Dayak people (Ot Danum people). In 2500 BC, the Deutero Malays migrated to Borneo. The Malay people from Sumatra brought their culture to Borneo in 400 AD. The fusion of the cultures saw the birth of the Upper Banjar language (Bahasa Banjar Hulu). Later, in 520 AD, the Malays formed the Buddhist Kingdom of Tanjungpuri in the present-day region of Tanjung, Tabalong.
In 1200 AD, Empu Jatmika built the Hindu Kingdom of Negara Dipa by the river of Tapin. This was the start of the Javanese-style courts in South Kalimantan. The Hindu era in South Kalimantan remained the most remembered period in South Kalimantan's history. The glory of Negara Dipa was succeeded by the Hindu Kingdom of Negara Daha in 1400 AD.
According to history, Prince Samudera, the rightful heir to the kingdom of Negara Daha, was forced to flee the court of because of his uncle's revolt against him. He was accepted by the people of Bandar Masih (Bandar: port, Masih: Malay people). Supported by the Sultanate of Demak, he formed a new Islamic Banjar Kingdom in 1526 with Bandar Masih as its capital. The name of Bandar Masih was later changed to its present name Banjarmasin.
Since the 19th century, migration of the Banjarese people went as far as the east coast of Sumatra and Malaysia. In Malaysia, Banjarese people are classified as part of the Malay race.
The division of Banjar people into 3 ethnicities is based on the locations of the assimilation between the Malays, the local Dayaks (Dayak Bukit, Dayak Ma'anyan, Dayak Lawangan, Dayak Ngaju, Dayak Barangas, and Bakumpai), and the Javanese people.
- The Banjar Pahuluan, who live in the valleys by the upriver of Meratus mountain ranges. They make their living from agriculture.
- The Banjar Batang Banyu, who live in the valleys by the river of Negara. They are proud of their position as the people of the ancient capital. They are also prominent merchants.
- The Banjar Kuala, who live in Banjarmasin and Martapura. They are the people of the new capital.
The Banjar language (bjn) reflects the history of people. It is basically the Malay language brought from Sumatra, with some words that are taken from Javanese and the native Dayaks.
Relations with Dayaks[edit]
The relationship between Banjar people and the neighbouring Dayaks have always been good. Some of the Dayaks who had converted to Islam have also assimilated into the Banjar culture and call themselves Banjar. The Dayaks also think of the Banjars as their brothers and sisters. This is further strengthened by the fact there are many inter-marriages between the Banjars and the Dayaks, even among the members of the royalty. For example, Biang Lawai, a wife of a Banjar king was of Dayak Ngaju ethnicity. This means that the Banjarese Kings and Queens have Dayaks lineage in their blood.
This relationship grew strong when both ethnicities faced colonisation by the Dutch in the 18th century. They became comrades in an age of war. Some of the warriors involved in Banjar War are of Dayak ethnicity or have Dayaks lineage in their blood. For example:
- Panglima Batur, who was of Dayak Siang Murung ethnicity,
- Panglima Wangkang, whose his father was a Dayak Bakumpai and whose mother was a Banjar,
- Panglima Batu Balot (Tumenggung Marha Lahew), a female warrior who attacked Fort Muara Teweh in 1864-1865.
Notable people[edit]
- Idham Chalid, politician and former minister of Indonesia.
- Jamal Abdillah, Malaysian singer and actor.
- Prince Antasari, the 21st sultan of the Banjar sultanate and a National Hero of Indonesia.
- Saloma, a Singaporean-Malaysian singer and actress.
- Sarimah Ibrahim, Malaysian actress, television host and radio announcer.

I wouldn't call it a crash but rather a sell-off. Likely test $150, maybe get into the $140s, and will find support again. This thing will swing violently, but trend has definitely turned negative, especially after today's huge head-fake and reversal.
As I said, such stocks, with military precision, know how to kill all the BEAR accounts by going parabolic (temporarily). Once the bears are left penniless or homeless in my cases, then, with military precision, it targets the bulls by falling without end, for days and weeks and months, with no bottom in sight.
Once the bulls' accounts have been annihilated by a freefalling stock, then the stock turns on itself and goes the Blockbuster route is my prediction. Everybody will be wiped out, shorts & longs on NFLX eventually is my guess. It just will take SOME TIME
only daytraders will win on this one.

I like having a place I can go to share the things that are weighing heavily on my mind. Not because I want to bring other people down, but because being in community at a time like this can actually cheer you up.
We extend the invitation for two reasons. First, life is busy and we see the value in occasionally stopping what we are doing to reflect. Sometimes the simple pause is all we need to realize how lucky we are or that we want to redirect some portion of our ...
Here goes. Another month of highs, lows, and ahas in the books. I'll start by sharing mine and then you can jump over to the Comment Section and share yours:
As I wrap up finishing touches, before getting on another plane this morning, I am reminded of how quickly time goes. This is the last trip for our family this summer, before returning home to get ready for the start of another school year. And yet, it see...
No matter how busy or complicated life can seem, there is a certain amount of comfort that comes from the simplicity of our community ritual - High, Low, and Aha.
We have a prized ritual at the House of Shine. It's called, High, Low, Aha and we invite you to play along monthly. Rules of play are easy.
It's part of the natural cycle of things that on this date we stop what we are doing and to reflect on the past thirty days; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Only we have a slightly different way of looking at it.
The idea here is simple. Think about the last 30 days. Even consult your calendar if it makes remembering easier and reflect on these three things: Highs, Lows, and Ahas
As you are making your list and checking it twice, how about joining us in making another list of sorts? Today is the 18th of the month; the day we like to stop what we are doing and reflect on the past 30 days.
On the eighteenth day of each month we create space for readers to share the best thing that's happened in the last thirty days (high), the worst thing that's happened (low), and something learned (aha).

Kokopelli Remixed
- Artists Paul Kalkbrenner, Pan-Pot, Simina Grigoriu
- Release Date 2013-03-01
- Labels Susumu Recordings
- Catalog SUS005
Finally, finally here they are, the remixes for Simina Grigoriu's "Kokopelli" by no other than Paul Kalkbrenner and Berlin-based duo Pan-Pot (currently twisting house and techno fans into rapturous fits!). "Kokopelli" is the first single release of Simina's excellent debut album "Exit City" and features the vocal talents of the British artist MAMA. "A deep rolling bass line and a strong kick drum - Those are the things a track can't live without," Simina said.
Simina Grigoriu steered her production career forward with singles on Berlin's Sonat Records and Italy's Intelectro Vibe and Frequenza Records, and she also completed an unprecedented number of gigs, as she saw her DJ career take off. She's been in clubs, at festivals, and was chosen once again to open a select number of Paul Kalkbrenner's concert tour shows. Look for Simina on tour in Europe and at select shows in North America and Asia to support the release of "EXIT CITY."
