Details on consultation
It seems relevant to transitionbuxton to get involved in (or at least read up on) the current stages of development of core strategies relating to infrastructure from the high peak council.
You can find them here:
and if you want to be involved in consultation (ie, make comments on any relevant parts of the documents, or go to meetings, voice objections/approvals),then call Mike Hase from Derbyshire Dales:
Please ask for: Mike Hase

In relation to proposed development opportunities relating to land NE of Hogshaw (the old tip, but more importantly, the new nature reserve, a designated wildlife site), I wrote the following, at section 8.52 of the Derbyshire Dales and High Peak Joint Core strategy:
There are still a number of issues relating to this area for development. As pointed out in the Growth Options sustainability Appraisal, there are flooding risks (1 in 100), contamination, from the railway and old refuse, and also, according to many locals, asbestos (under and around the playing field). I believe the report suggested that the area could support at best 25% development due to its topography and the flood risks, which given the above issues, and including the fact it is a significant designated wildlife site (not just for grassland but also for the birch wood and willow wood within the site) and nature resource for many residents, doesn't make for a very good development opportunity. It would appear that the only conceivable way of weighting the balance towards pros is to ignore the cons.
Bearing in mind also the fact that according to council objectives from the draft core strategy, the council is committed to 'ensuring that development will not have a detrimental effect on [...] the existing green infrastructure unless replacement provision is made that is considered to be of equal or greater value than that which will be lost through development', it is hard to see the benefits of destroying such a significant piece of land in the process of active natural regeneration if a new or greater area will need to be replanted elsewhere and locally to provide the same ecological/social value. It would seem far more sensible to leave this site in favour of others with less ecological value and with no pre-existing issues of contamination/flood risk.
It's also worth considering that alongside housing development (priority was meant to be given to brownfield sites), a significant factor affecting Buxton in the future are issues such as peak oil and the need for localised energy generation. The mention of wind generation in the relevant report could be incorporated with or without accompanying new housing. But the more woodland (and green land for food production) we can foster in and around Buxton itself, the greater the resources for residents (eg, firewood, with uncontaminated parts left aside for community orchards such as the new one in Glossop - even active coppice/regeneration woodland management of the land would turn the patch into something of significant worth from the perspective of both residents and high peak council without sacrificing the designated wildlife site status of the area). Fuel poverty is already noted in these reports as a significant issue affecting many of the residents of the high peak, and as renewables go, wood is one of the most reliable.
Finally, the need for an additional 1000 homes is cited as a factor influencing the need for more development. But elsewhere in these documents, the council admits to there being approx 2.4% unoccupied residences in the area. Given the surrounding figures, it would seem this translates approximately to upwards of 900 homes, maybe more than 1000. Surely rectifying this issue should be given priority?

Localism and neighbourhood plans
The localism bill allows ( will allow) a local group ( in an unparished area like Buxton) to produce a statutory document called a neighbourhood plan that becomes part of the Core straegic pplan for the area - I'll try toup load a briefing on this -

Hotel Remota, Patagonia
In the vast plains of Patagonia stands the Hotel Remota. Architect Germán Del Sol, who is also a professor at the Universidad de Chile, wanted to conceal the luxury that awaits the traveler, "to lower the expectations, so its interior will appear unexpectedly in all its splendor." It's all about the element of surprise—including the fact that even with its innovative design and lavish comforts, the hotel was built with a conscious effort to care for nature, striving to use minimal energy.

Henry Wilson's "Things Revisited"
When Australian designer Henry Wilson moved to the Netherlands to study for a Masters Degree at the Design Academy Eindhoven, he says he experienced a "philosophical shift away from the creation of new things and a re-examination of the role of the designer." He was feeling "increasing disenchantment with the role of the designer at a time of evident excess and wastefulness in a consumer driven market," he writes, along with a growing awareness of the world's dwindling resources. His musings and experimentations led him to invent a design exercise for himself: to tweak and update existing "classic" designs in a way that would reveal them in a fresh light. Here are the clever and elegant results of his experiments.

A Zero-Energy Community: Part 2
Project Manager Brad Liljequist chronicles the building of the zHome, a ten-unit townhome in Issaquah, Washington—the first multifamily zero-energy community in the United States. Part 2: Building REALLY green... It's easier than you think. Forty percent. That's the share of total CO2 emissions each year in the US that comes from energy used in buildings. Building operations—heating, cooling, lighting, and everything else inside the walls—are the single largest generator of carbon dioxide in the country. It's an easy thing to forget about, sort of like background noise. But it's there, humming along, 24/7.

Jerusalem's Hotel Mamilla
When plans were introduced for the Mamilla Hotel Jerusalem, which opened in June of 2009 and is among the few selected five-star hotels in the city, it sparked a bit of controversy. This completely modern property could have threatened the sacredness of the Old City and its desire to keep an ancient aesthetic. But all was set at ease once architect Moshe Safdie and designer Piero Lissoni took creative rein. Faced with the challenge of designing a contemporary property for Alrov Luxury Group while honoring the municipal law of building with Jerusalem stone (local practice for years), Israeli-born Safdie used the material's characteristics to his advantage. He took a medium used for centuries and practically redefined it by delivering something fresh and modern.

A Zero-Energy Community: Part 1
Project Manager Brad Liljequist chronicles the building of the zHome, a ten-unit townhome in Issaquah, Washington—the first multifamily zero-energy community in the United States. Part 1: Introduction to the project. I am writing this as I sit in the zHome Stewardship Center, which will open later this Fall as a hub of education and market transformation for radically green housing in the Pacific Northwest. I'm surrounded by the sounds of typical construction wrap-up on a residential community—the clink of rebar being laid down for the concrete walkways, Motown being played on the radio by a cleanup crew, and a trackhoe moving larger trees into place. There's also non-typical sounds—those of drills on the roof, where the solar panels are being installed, and ground source heat pumps starting up for the first time.

Science Fiction Architecture
For this week's "Three Buildings" column I turned to industrial designer Gustavo Fricke. We featured him and his Oaxaca shop Blackbox in our July/August issue's Design Finder ("Hecho in Oaxaca," online here). He currently lives in San Francisco and has traveled a fair bit, so I was curious to hear which three buildings inspire him most. Sure enough, his picks span the globe, from Mexico City to San Francisco to Paris. When asked what unites the three buildings he selected, Fricke replies: "Since I was a kid I've been fascinated by science fiction. Science fiction explores future scenarios that push the boundaries of our imagination. These three buildings, too, allow for the projection of the imaginary—for the representation in our present time of a future world to come. They are props of a future possibility, frozen in time."

New From Petit Collage
Based in San Francisco, Petit Collage is "an incubator of new ideas, art and illustration for everything modern and children related," says designer and children's book illustrator Lorena Siminovich, who founded the company five years ago. Siminovich's home decor and accessories for contemporary families can be found in boutiques, museum stores and catalogs worldwide—as well as in the pages of the upcoming November issue of Dwell, where we'll feature her cozy and stylish 1,500-square-foot house. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here's a sneak preview of a few sweet items from her Fall 2011 catalog, along with Siminovich's explanation of the inspiration behind each new design.

Big Sur Airstream Renovation
"I found the Airstream in the high desert of Anza, California, and thought it was a pure TLC job. Wishful thinking!" says interior designer Caroline Brandes, who also rents renovated Airstreams on her property in Big Sur through Big Sur Getaway. "Even though the interior looked decent, once back home in Big Sur I had discovered water leaks, extensive floor rot under the linoleum tiles, and even frame damage." She hired Area 63 Productions, a professional Airstream renovation company, to help. For the interiors, she sought a clean and airy look. "Most of the trailers I had seen so far were restored close to the 'vintage' idea, and to my taste most of them feel too dark, too cluttered and too traditional," she says. "I wanted the trailer to feel airy, calm and open, nearly a bit Zen-like." Here's a glimpse into the renovation, start to finish.

Hotel Missoni Kuwait
Gold. Mosaic. Gold. Turquoise. Gold. Did I mention gold? Following the success of Hotel Missoni Edinburgh—a partnership between Rezidor Hotel Group and fashion powerhouse Missoni—the team turned their sights to Kuwait for a second project, which opened in March 2011. Hotel Missoni Kuwait has a glamorous and playful aesthetic, a signature of Missoni Creative Director Rosita Missoni. Here, everything is customized, from the staff apparel to the handpicked furniture and textiles covering the property. Color is the most outstanding feature in the hotel—tropical colors and intricate patterns weave their way through the walls, halls and furnishings, reflecting the country's cultural affinity with the bold and bright. It's not just about the design—the place is functional and comfortable, too. As Signora Missoni has put it, "Real luxury is good attentive service, and good and comfortable design. This is real luxury—it's a simple principle, but we kept them as our focus." Here's a look inside.

"The Imperial (Csar's) Fisihing Lodge - Langinkoski" Kotka Things to Do Tip by WanderingFinn
Kotka Things to Do: 11 reviews and 19 photos
Alexander III, emperor of Russia and Grand Duke of Finland, and his Danish born consort Dagmar, in Russia known under the name Marie Feodorovna, had heard about the good salmon fishing at Langinkoski.
In the summer of 1880 they arrived at Langinkoski to watch the salmon fishing. They also took a liking to the beautiful river scenery and promised to return.Some yers later they did return to Langinkoski. They said that they would like to have a little fishing hut on the banks of the river.
The senate of the Grand Duchy of Finland took measures to have a villa built for the sovereign and his family on the very banks of the Langinkoski rapids.
Address: Langinkosken museo, Keisarinmajantie 118, 48230 Ko
Directions: Everyone at Kotka area (and the majority of people elsewhere too) knows where the Langinkoski lodge is. Just ask!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 1992
Running Time: 71
Director: Nancy Nemo
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Kitty (I), Cassandra (I), Don Fernando, Kaiko, Fantasia, Anisa, Tim Whitfield
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Opening this fortune cookie can prove to be sometimes arousing, as well as confusing. The Oriental gals are very similar, and the absence of a plot and memorable dialogue tends to make one lose track of who is who. No matter, for this five piece ensemble of obstreperously sexual pleasers know how to pleasure themselves via professional video company methods. As usual, Don Fernando just lays back and enjoys. Tim Whitfield likewise gets off with the aid of two, then three of these long dark-haired lasses. Cassandra is party of a three-girl anal-beaded ben-awy ball blash. Real wild shit! This should appeal to the viewer who prefers Orientals over Occidentals. Lovely packaging.

how to reproduce the srt or forced subtitles?
When I see a movie. MKV by usb. When they speak in another language I do not understand what they say, because they forced out or srt subtitles.

can someone tell me what is the response time for gaming?
for a tv for example high end has more input lag than other midrange or low?
're absolutely right, so everyone must do something to sort it out. because this is very embarrassing. the only thing that is going to win again not buy a philips tv and I decantare other more stable...
I did not confirm 100% that they solved, I replied that it would pass the technical department, and once there you will see that is what happens.
thing to do is complain to the technical service from philips website. I just did and they said that the problems that I have would happen to the engineering department to recognize already have it....

2 º the input lag is still high.
3ºMenus and 3rd overall stability of the tv very very bad

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Josh Swogger passed for three touchdowns, and Washington State came up with two interceptions and blocked a punt in the fourth quarter in a 21-17 win against New Mexico on Friday night.
Swogger threw scoring passes of 13 yards to Trandon Harvey and 4 yards to Troy Bienemann in the fourth quarter to erase a 17-7 New Mexico lead in the season opener for both teams.
The first score finished off a 14-play, 82-yard drive in which Swogger completed eight passes, including one on fourth-and-9 to Jason Hall to the New Mexico 11. Two plays later, Swogger found Harvey open with 9:54 left.
The Cougars' defense, which led the nation last year in takeaways (48), forced New Mexico to punt, and cornerback Omowale Dada made the block. Teammate Tyron Brackenridge recovered the ball and went out of bounds at the New Mexico 4. On the next play, Swogger threw to Bienemann, who made a one-handed catch.

What is the best way to add video uploading, encoding and streaming functionality to my Rails app ?
I'm thinking about a mix as : Rails app + Video Online Encoder + Amazon S3. What do you think ?
For the Video Online Encoder (VOE), which one is the easier to use with Rails : heywatch, panvidea, encoding.com, pandastream, ... ?
By the way, the application will allow users to play streamed videos with dynamic Texts, Schemas and Sounds added to them at the run time. There's an example :
- in rails app (backoffice or frontoffice) : Video upload (.mov, .avi, ...)
- VOE : video encoding in FLV format + storage in Amazon S3
- in rails app, backoffice : in a home-made Flash application, "add" to the video a Text and a Schemas showed after 1 minute for example (informations stored in the Rails app DB).
- in rails app, frontoffice : play the streamed video from Amazon S3 (+Cloudfront) in a home-made Flash player which show dynamicaly the Text and the Schema over the video after 1 minute of playing.
The part I really don't understand is the FLV video Stream. I was thinking that Cloudfront could do that.
I hope I'm clear enough ;-)
Thank you all for your answers !

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Brain-Eating Amoeba
In this article
How Long Until Symptoms of a Brain-Eating Amoeba Appear?
It takes two to 15 days for symptoms to appear after N. fowleri amoebas enter the nose. Death usually occurs three to seven days after symptoms appear. The average time to death is 5.3 days from symptom onset. Only a handful of patients worldwide have been reported to have survived an infection.
What Are the First Symptoms Someone Might Have?
Symptoms of PAM are not specific to this disease. At first, PAM may seem like viral meningitis. Symptoms include:
- headache
- fever
- stiff neck
- loss of appetite
- vomiting
- altered mental state
- seizures
- coma
There may also be hallucinations, drooping eyelid, blurred vision, and loss of the sense of taste.
Is There a Treatment for Infection With Brain-Eating Amoeba?
The right treatment isn't clear. A number of drugs kill N. fowleri amoebas in the test tube. But even when treated with these drugs, very few patients survive.
Is There a Rapid Test for Infection With Brain-Eating Amoeba?
There is no rapid test for infection with brain-eating amoeba. But researchers are working to develop one. Until such tests come along, it can take weeks to identify the amoeba.
How Do Amoebas Dissolve Brain Tissue?
One study suggests that N. fowleri amoebas produce two proteases -- enzymes that dissolve protein.
Are Certain Groups Affected More Than Others?
Over 60% of U.S. cases are in children age 13 or younger. About 80% of cases are in males.
It's not at all clear whether children or males are more susceptible to the amoeba, or whether young males are more likely to engage in activities that expose them to the amoeba.
How Can I Protect Myself Against Brain-Eating Amoeba?
It makes sense to avoid swimming underwater, diving, water skiing, and jumping in warm, still waters during the late summer. It also makes sense to wear a nose clip when swimming, boating, or playing in or on warm waters.
It's also a good idea to avoid stirring up mud while taking part in such activities.
And if you are cleansing your nostrils, be sure to fill your neti pot or squeeze bottle with distilled or sterile water -- not tap water. You can also use water that has been boiled for one minute (three minutes at high elevations) and then cooled. And you can filter the water using filters with pores no larger than 1 micron (1 micrometer).

Ed Koch Replies to All His E-mails in Longhand
The elderly + technology. It never gets old.
Former mayor Ed Koch, as you may know, is very hip to the digital age. The man writes for the Huffington Post. He posts occasional film reviews on his personal blog. Some people even suspect he's the real person behind Hipster Runoff. But perhaps most impressive of all: Ed Koch personally replies to all of his e-mail. No one does that! Even nonfamous people. Who has that kind of time? Well, okay, retirees. But many of America's elderly aren't quite as comfortable with digital correspondence as Koch. Except, as it turns out, he's not actually doing the e-mailing part himself.
Koch, as reported by Ben Smith in Politico, has an assistant print out his e-mails. He then writes out, longhand, his reply. (Seen here on Smith's new home, Buzzfeed.) Koch's assistant, whom he must have recruited either by calling Psychic Friends or at a cryptography class at the Learning Annex, somehow deciphers whatever Koch is saying to that particular pen pal and puts it back into the Magic Machine to be sent out into Cyber-Space. The conveniences of modern life!

TJ Schneider
TJ Schneider has been snowboarding since 1994—now, he's one the biggest names in the sport. When he's not killing it on the slopes, he spends his free time playing his guitar, going to shows, and creating some awesome artwork—some of which he was kind enough to share with us.
Sessions (you know, that rad company that loves to pass on their cruelty-free options to us for you guys to win) sponsors TJ, and they were cool enough to hook us up with TJ for this sweet PSA, which TJ was more than willing to help design. So go ahead and check out TJ's PSA, and then keep reading to find out what else he says about being a vegetarian …
How long have you been vegetarian?
Almost a year.
Why did you go vegetarian?
Just really wasn't right for my body, meat was making me feel sick, and once I had seen some of the videos of how animals are treated, I was pretty disgusted.
Why did you want to do this PSA for peta2?
I liked the idea of being part of something that matters more than just what's the hot new fad.

For more than four decades. Bette Midler has been entertaining audiences on screen and stage. Born in Hawaii, she got her start performing in gay bathhouses -- with Barry Manilow accompanying her on piano.
The Divine Miss M's career really took off in 1979, when she starred as a hard-living rock 'n' roll singer in the movie "The Rose." The role, loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin, netted her the first of two Oscar nominations.
Midler wrote about her early career in 1980's "A View from a Broad." The book is now being reissued by Simon & Schuster, a division of CBS.
Now 68 and still divine, the multiple Grammy, Golden Globe and Emmy winner sat down with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King to talk about life, love and much more.

This article addresses the problem of designing robust tracking controls for a class of robotic manipulators with flexible joints that use only position measurements. This class of flexible-joint robots is perturbed by time-varying parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. A reduced-order observer is constructed to estimate the velocity signals, and then an observer-based robust position feedback tracking controller without velocity measurements will be developed such that all the states and signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and the trajectory tracking errors can be made as small as possible. Consequently, the robust tracking control scheme developed here possesses the properties of computational simplicity and easy implementation. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithms.

We've been able to grow this program into an international one from it's beginnings in Japan last year. We've had two events in China - one in Jan in Beijing and one yesterday in Guangzhou. We are having a 3rd event in Shanghai on the 27th of March. Kelly Wang has been doing some great work on driving this in China with support from Aaron Shin and others.
We are also doing a joint Services and EPG event on March 28th in Sao Paulo. This will make March one of the most prolific months in terms of our customer outreach.
In April we cover Germany and Korea and in May, Canada, Australia and the US.
When I look back at this program, I'm amazed at the growth around the world - reminds me of the work that we did in MED as well with the Windows Embedded Student ChallengE - in year 1 it was a US only event, in year 2 we took it international - Billg even inaugurated the event.
I worked on this program as a Pilot in Japan last year - it became quite successful and now we see it being rolled out around the world. I get to work on vteams with some great people from around the world which makes this so much fun.
Hirano-san in Japan alongwith Yuju-san and Kasai-san have done some stellar work - Dierk in Germany, Claudia and Paulo in Brazil, John, Suzanne, Pierre, Juan and Jay in Canada, Jeong and Bom in Korea, Kellie, Anu and Frank in Australia have all been putting in long hours. It's amazing to see the energy and drive of these talented folks.
In Microsoft I have with two separate programs been able to witness the ability of people to come together and make great things happen - it is a special place

A Geoarchaeological Investigation of Site Formation in the Animas River Valley at Aztec Ruins National Monument, NM
Date: August 2010
Creator: Caster, Joshua
Description: This paper presents an investigation of sedimentary deposition, soil formation, and pedoturbation in the Animas River Valley to determine the provenience of archaeological deposits in an open field at Aztec Ruins National Monument, NM outside of the Greathouse complex. Four stratigraphic pedounits correlated with active fan deposition have been proposed for the lower terrace in the project area with only one of these units retaining strong potential for buried archaeological deposits from the Anasazi late Pueblo II/Pueblo III period. The distal fan on the lower terrace and the Animas River floodplain appear to show poor potential for archaeological deposits either due to shallow sediment overburden with historic disturbance or alluvial activity during or after occupation. Based on these findings, four other zones of similar fan development have been identified throughout the Animas Valley and are recommended for subsurface testing during future cultural resource investigations.

A Spatially Explicit Environmental Health Surveillance Framework for Tick-Borne Diseases
Date: August 2010
Creator: Aviña, Aldo
Description: In this paper, I will show how applying a spatially explicit context to an existing environmental health surveillance framework is vital for more complete surveillance of disease, and for disease prevention and intervention strategies. As a case study to test the viability of a spatial approach to this existing framework, the risk of human exposure to Lyme disease will be estimated. This spatially explicit framework divides the surveillance process into three components: hazard surveillance, exposure surveillance, and outcome surveillance. The components will be used both collectively and individually, to assess exposure risk to infected ticks. By utilizing all surveillance components, I will identify different areas of risk which would not have been identified otherwise. Hazard surveillance uses maximum entropy modeling and geographically weighted regression analysis to create spatial models that predict the geographic distribution of ticks in Texas. Exposure surveillance uses GIS methods to estimate the risk of human exposures to infected ticks, resulting in a map that predicts the likelihood of human-tick interactions across Texas, using LandScan 2008TM population data. Lastly, outcome surveillance uses kernel density estimation-based methods to describe and analyze the spatial patterns of tick-borne diseases, which results in a continuous map that reflects disease rates based ...

County Level Population Estimation Using Knowledge-Based Image Classification and Regression Models
Date: August 2010
Creator: Nepali, Anjeev
Description: This paper presents methods and results of county-level population estimation using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images of Denton County and Collin County in Texas. Landsat TM images acquired in March 2000 were classified into residential and non-residential classes using maximum likelihood classification and knowledge-based classification methods. Accuracy assessment results from the classified image produced using knowledge-based classification and traditional supervised classification (maximum likelihood classification) methods suggest that knowledge-based classification is more effective than traditional supervised classification methods. Furthermore, using randomly selected samples of census block groups, ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) models were created for total population estimation. The overall accuracy of the models is over 96% at the county level. The results also suggest that underestimation normally occurs in block groups with high population density, whereas overestimation occurs in block groups with low population density.

Spatial Analysis of North Central Texas Traffic Fatalities 2001-2006
Date: December 2010
Creator: Rafferty, Paula S.
Description: A traditional two dimensional (planar) statistical analysis was used to identify the clustering types of North Central Texas traffic fatalities occurring in 2001-2006. Over 3,700 crash locations clustered in ways that were unlike other researched regions. A two dimensional (x and y coordinates) space was manipulated to mimic a one dimensional network to identify the tightest clustering of fatalities in the nearly 400,000 crashes reported from state agencies from 2003-2006. The roadway design was found to significantly affect crash location. A one dimensional (linear) network analysis was then used to measure the statistically significant clustering of flow variables of after dark crashes and daylight crashes. Flow variables were determined to significantly affect crash location after dark. The linear and planar results were compared and the one dimensional, linear analysis was found to be more accurate because it did not over detect the clustering of events on a network.

The Global Expansion of Transnational Retailers: A Case Study of the Localization Strategy of Costco in Taiwan
Date: December 2010
Creator: Yeh, YunLung
Description: This research focuses on the global expansion of the transnational retail industry. Globalization is a phenomenon experienced by many industries in the present global economy. The global production network (GPN) framework can be used to explain and interpret the phenomenon of transnational firms' adaptation strategies. Due to market saturation in their home countries, retailers began to expand into East Asia in the 1980s. However, cultural differences and legislative limitations created barriers and restrictions for the transnational retailers making this transition. How do firms overcome these challenges? Through a case study of Costco in Taiwan, this research investigates the ways in which retailers adapt their strategies with regard to three concerns: site decisions, product mix selection, and supply network consolidation. The results shows that Costco opted for a strategy of lesser localization in all three domains. This research provides evidence to support this characterization along with examples of Costco's localization strategies via a case study and focuses on the issue of the balance between localization and standardization in the GPN framework.

Geologic and Lithic Analysis of the Red River Cache
Date: May 2011
Creator: Gregory, Brittney
Description: The Red River Cache is an assemblage of 33 bifaces, found in Cooke County, along Cache Creek, a tributary to the Red River. Also found with the cache was a hearth which yielded charcoal for AMS dating which returned an age of 2770- 2710 Cal YBP placing the cache in the Late Archaic. The geologic investigation of Cache Creek established 3 Holocene allostratigraphic units that provide information depositional environments adjacent to the Red River. Lithic analysis explored the production of bifaces during the Late Archaic and compared the cache to regional records. Using both geologic and lithic analysis this thesis investigates the temporal and cultural context of the cache using a geoarchaeological approach.

The Expansion of a Retail Chain: An Analysis of Wal-Mart Locations in the United States
Date: May 2011
Creator: Ostrander, Anthony P.
Description: Retail geography is an expanding field that is becoming increasingly important within academia, the business environment, and the national and global economy. The focus of this study is to provide insight and additional understanding of the site selection processes employed by Wal-Mart in the United States. The research studies Wal-Mart from a national perspective and investigates the patterns of retail store expansion across the United States from 1990 to 2005. The study employs the use of a continuous Poisson model to check for significant clustering, and a single and multiple correlation analysis to identify the types of relationships that exist between retail stores and location. The results of the study make apparent several distinct patterns of retail store dispersion within the United States between the years 1990 to 2005.

Analysis of Micro Enterprise Clusters in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Toluca, Mexico.
Date: August 2011
Creator: Drauschke, Kristin
Description: Businesses cluster to achieve agglomeration benefits. However, research in developing countries suggests that the economic environment limits small business' propensity to benefit from agglomerations. The study examines the location, networking patterns, formal structures and owner characteristics of 1256 micro businesses from ten industries and thirteen sample areas in Toluca, Mexico. First, the thesis analyses whether clustering has a positive impact on the success rates of the surveyed enterprises, e.g. higher sales per employee. On an industry scale only Retail benefits from agglomerations economies. However, results of the neighborhood data show that specific areas benefit from urbanization economies. Overall, the study finds that businesses located within agglomerations, have higher levels of formalization, networking and professional training, hence constituting a more sophisticated base for economic development. Conclusions can be drawn for development policies and programs, arguing for a more differentiated approach of small business development depending on business location and cluster characteristics.

An Investigation of the Relationship between HIV and Prison Facilities in Texas: The Geographic Variation and Vulnerable Neighborhood Characteristics
Date: August 2011
Creator: Kutch, Libbey
Description: Previous research suggests that prisons may be fueling the spread of HIV infection in the general population. In 2005, the HIV rate was more than 2.5 times higher in US prison populations. Environmental factors in prisons such as illicit drug use and unprotected sexual activities can be conducive for HIV transmission. Because the vast majority of prison inmates are incarcerated for less than three years, transmission of HIV between prison inmates and members of the general population may occur at a high rate. The environment in which an individual lives and the entities that comprise it affect the health of that person. Thus the location of prisons within communities, as well as socio-demographic characteristics may influence the geography of HIV infection. HIV surveillance data, obtained from the Texas Department of State Health Services, were used to investigate the relationship between the location of prison units in Texas and HIV infection rates in the surrounding zip codes. The results suggest that HIV prevalence rates are higher among geographic areas in close proximity to a prison unit. With continued behavioral risks and low treatment adherence rates among individuals infected with HIV, there is a possibility of increased HIV prevalence. Vulnerable places, locations ...

Gentrification in Oklahoma City: Examining Urban Revitalization in Middle America
Date: August 2011
Creator: Petty, Clint C.
Description: Gentrification applies not only to the largest and oldest cities; it is a multi-scalar phenomenon playing out in smaller and less prominent settings as well. This study examines temporal changes in property values, demographic characteristics, and types of businesses in the central Oklahoma City area. A major urban revitalization project which began in 1993 created strong gentrification characteristics near the renewal's epicenter, the Bricktown entertainment district. Data suggest that several specific neighborhoods in the surrounding area exhibited rising property values, improving educational attainment rates, decreasing household sizes, and a shift toward cosmopolitan retail activity. While it is evident that Bricktown has been transformed, the socio-economic traits of surrounding neighborhoods have been altered by the ripple effects of urban renewal.

Variation of citation counts by subdisciplines within a particular discipline is known but rarely systematically studied. This paper compares citation counts for award-winning mathematicians is different subdisciplines of mathematics. Mathematicians were selected for study in groups of rough equivalence with respect to peer evaluation, where this evaluation is given by the awarding of major prizes and grants: Guggenheim fellowships, Sloan fellowships, and National Science Foundation CAREER grants. We find a pattern in which mathematicians working in some subdisciplines have fewer citations than others who won the same award, and this pattern is consistent for all awards. So even after adjustment at the discipline level for different overall citation rates for disciplines, citation counts for different subdisciplines do not match peer evaluation. Demographic and hiring data for mathematics provides a context for a discussion of reasons and interpretations.

Call of Duty Elite makeover in progress for launch of Black Ops 2
Call of Duty Elite is getting a makeover by Beachhead in anticipation of Black Ops 2's launch.
A new menu, revamped navigation, news and events updates, and more are all included.
Here's more details which Poloygon pulled from the FAQ:
- CAREER info has been separated by game and can be found under each game title header in the menu. Here you can check out your Career Summary and Recent Matches, tweak your Custom Classes, track Challenges and Leaderboards, and view your Weapon Performance.
- CONNECT is now called Clan HQ. Clan HQ shows all your Clan stats, including Clan Competitions, Rewards, and Clan XP.
- COMPETE has been changed to Competitions, and displays Events, Clan Challenges, Clan Operations, and Lone Wolf Operations.
- IMPROVE links are now located under each game title header in the menu, and breaks down Maps, Weapons and Lethal/Tactical items, Attachments and Proficiencies, Perks, Strike Packages, Deathstreaks, and Game Modes.
- My HQ is your hub for finding Game Summaries, the Vault, Recent Badges, and your Feed, which includes Notifications and Invites.
- ELITE TV remains ELITE TV, with Theater mode accessed by clicking the filter in the upper-left portion of the screen.
Black Ops 2 lands on PC. PS3, and Xbox 360 on November 13 and the Wii U version is out later in the year.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Kickass My Sacred Vegan Chili
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
I'm posting my most used vegan recipe that I adore on its own, on nachos, on my husband's bald head, eating at work, just generally eating. My best bud maaweee loves it, my family loves it, all my mates love it, and it's so simple you will kick yourself on how simple it is. Put in veg you want to use from your fridge. To make it hotter, add more chili. Get psychopathic with the chili if you like it! I like using fake mozzarella and homemade guacamole on nachos for this. It makes for good weekend dinners. I could eat it now! Oooo nachos...... oh yeah heats up good the next day.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or spray cal or buttery light)
- 2 onions
- 2 bell peppers (any colour I like 2 red)
- 150 g carrots, chopped into little dice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 (400 g) cans plum tomatoes (mashed a bits)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
- 1 green chili (or 1 tsp strong chili powder, my powder is super hot, use however much you are comfortable with)
- 425 g kidney beans
- 125 g mushrooms (chunky chopped)
- 125 g celery (sliced ribs optional)
- 125 g parsnips (chopped into dice optional)
- 125 g courgettes (chunky chopped optional)
- 15 g cocoa powder (or dark grated chocolate)
- salt and pepper
- Heat the oil in pan and add onion; fry for 5-10 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and fry for two minutes. Add celery; sweat for five minutes with lid on adding more oil or a little water.
- Add the carrots and do the same for five minutes, then the parsnips, then the peppers then the mushrooms and then courgettes. Basically hard veggies first, soft veggies after with 5 minutes in between them to let flavours develop.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and chili (either dried or fresh) dried vegetable stock cubes and a little water (2 tablespoons). Also add kidney beans; season with salt and pepper and add the cocoa if using or chocolate.
- Simmer for 10 minutes on low with the lid off.
- Continue to simmer until reduced to desired consistency.
- Serve sprinkled with vegan cheese, vegan yogurt (alpro plain), guacamole and on nachos.
- Eat like a pig and declare that this is so good even my meat eating husband loves this.
Most Helpful
I read all the reviews and figured I have to try this recipe. It was good. A little bland for my taste but after a little tweaking, it was 4 star worthy. The cocoa powder threw me for a loop. It definitely added depth and texture to the taste buds. I added corn to my recipe.
I'm so confused. I expected this to be good, but I did not expect it to actually taste like chili. It is amazing. I made a half recipe, just in case I did not like it, but wow, it is good. I will definitely make this again. I used all of the optional ingredients. The only change I made was to add more spices, like cayenne pepper.
ALL the optional ingredients work well in this recipe and I recommend all of them. Not being a dogmatic vegan, I used beef bouillon, and I think that only 1 tsp of chili powder is being a bit meek, but both I (vegan) and my wife (non-vegan) think this is a great recipe. It's also great the second day to add almost any left-over veggie or rice thrown in with it for a quick lunch.

Actually although there are false negatives false positives are EXTREMELY rare. Guys can get a false positive reading for pregnancy test if they have testicular cancer, I think. So, hey, if you're worried about it, take a pregnancy test lol.

The new home of
Previously a Viking settlement, the town of Wick straddles the River Wick and Wick Bay at the north east tip of the Scottish Highlands. It was Europe''s busiest herring port in the 19th century, although today, you''re more likely to spot tourists than fishermen.
The Wick Heritage Centre (which is actually situated in Pultneytown, the part of Wick that lies across the river) is a great place to soak up some of the local culture and heritage, and includes artefacts from the fishing trade in days gone by, offering a fascinating insight into the area''s history.
Explore the Castle of Old Wick on foot via a winding clifftop trail that leads from the charming village of Staxigoe via Noss Head Lighthouse to the castle itself, perched on the cliff top and offering stunning views out to sea. Or go on a tour of the Pultney Distillery, which has produced its own Single Malt Scotch Whisky since 1826; warm up with a complimentary dram whilst you explore the visitor centre and souvenir shop.
This unspoilt region offers bracing coastal walks, lots of wildlife, quite uncrowded sandy beaches, windsurfing and sand-yachting.
Wick is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing cottage holiday break that will re-charge your batteries and bring you closer to nature; a quiet and 'uncomplicated' holiday amongst some of the last remaining areas of totally unspoilt countryside. See our range of Wick holiday cottages today.

U of M student says two men tried to abduct her near TCF Bank stadium
The site of this morning's incident.
U of M
In the wake of a recent spate of high-profile crimes, many University of Minnesota students are calling for an increased police presence, and officials say they're doing all they can to keep campus safe.
SEE ALSO: U of M student says she saw creepy cop impersonator on West Bank earlier this month
Nonetheless, there was another scary on-campus incident early this morning. A female student says she was the victim of an abduction attempt.
The incident occurred just after midnight while the student walked alone along the University Avenue sidewalk in front of TCF Bank stadium near its intersection with Oak Street. A blue sedan with two men inside pulled up alongside her, and one of the men asked if she needed help. She said she didn't, but then one of the men got out of the vehicle and approached her.
A U of M crime alert details what she says happened next:
The suspect grabbed the victim by the arm and pulled her toward the vehicle. When the victim tried to defend herself with pepper spray, the suspect pushed her to the ground and used the pepper spray on the victim. The victim screamed and the suspects drove away eastbound on University Avenue.
And here's how the victim described the suspect that approached her:
The suspect is described as a black male between the ages of 20 and 25 years old, approximately six feet two inches to six feet four inches tall with a medium build and medium complexion. The suspect was wearing a black, knit stocking cap and a black puffy jacket. No description is available for the driver of the car.
This morning's incident comes just days after a female student walking by herself near 15th Avenue Southeast and 8th Street Southeast was sexually assaulted by a man impersonating a cop who persuaded her to get into his SUV. That suspect was described as a black man in his 20s with a medium build and chin-strap beard. He's still on the loose.
"In [this morning's] incident and in a number of recent incidents... the victims were walking alone after dark," the most recent crime alert says. "As we work toward a shared culture of campus safety, I would ask the University Community to look after one another - walking in groups is still the best and easiest way to be safe at night and on the weekends."
Anyone with information about this morning's incident is asked to call the Minneapolis Police Tip Line at 612-692-8477 and reference case number MP-13-394848.

A Robust Audio Feature Extraction Algorithm for Music Identification
In this paper, we describe a novel audio feature extraction method, which can effectively improve the performance of music identification under noisy circumstances. It is based on a dual box approach that extracts from the sound spectrogram point clusters with significant energy variation. This approach was tested in a song finder application that can identify music from samples recorded by microphone in the presence of dominant noise. A series of experiments show that under noisy circumstances, our system outperforms current state-of-the-art music identification algorithms and provides very good precision, scalability and query efficiency.
