School of Music
Aaren Rivard, George Eisenhauer '14, and Nathaniel Menifield '09, each will perform in the Portland Symphony Orchestra's Dialogues of the Carmelites on Sunday, March 8 at 2:30 p.m.
Wilson's program will include a variety of styles and works ranging from standard staples of the tuba repertoire, back to the cello music of J. S. Bach, and forward to the world premiere of a grand opus for tuba and electric guitar.
Maine Premiere of "Catch Me If You Can" the Musical Presented by USM School of Music and Department of Theatre
The fast-paced musical features a score of infectious, hard-driving jazz and glorious big-band sound by the dream team behind the Tony Award-winning musical, "Hairspray," and NBC's musical drama, "Smash."
Award-winning violinist Ray Chen has received international praise and is known for uncompromising rhythmic integrity, rock-solid technique and lush sound.
"Valentine's Day with Lantz and Kargul: The Secret Loves of the Great Romantics" is co-presented by the USM School of Music and The Lark Society on Sunday, February 15 at 2 p.m., at Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland.
The original returning members include Scott Reeves and Mark Manduca on trombone, with Janet Reeves, piano; Jim Lyden, bass; and Les Harris Jr., drums. Christopher Oberholtzer and Thomas Michaud will join the trombone section to round out the group.
In the middle of the Fall 2014 finals week, University of Southern Maine (USM) School of Music students took time to provide a charitable performance at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
The grand centerpiece concert will feature the USM Jazz Ensemble, USM Wind Ensemble, USM Chamber Singers, students majoring in Voice Performance singing opera and students majoring in Piano Performance providing accompaniment. The USM String Quartet will perform Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik," which translates to "A Little Night Music."
The concert will include the Southern Maine Youth Chorale (SMYC), conducted by Rebecca Green, and the Southern Maine Children's Choir (SMCC), conducted by Paul McGovern.
The USM Faculty Jazz Ensemble performs together just once every two years. The ensemble noted that grandfathers, and grandmothers alike, are more than welcome to attend the concert.

Just the gals
Hannah wishes Mommy good luck
Setting up the cheerleading zone
Right before the start
And we're off!
Cindy is already in the zone
Trying to outrun our shadows
First of several rolling hills, Cindy's warming up
Lots of parent-child teams in this race
Cindy blowing away the competition
Approaching mile 2 (negative split!)
In the last mile, speeding up
Only a quarter mile to go...
Cindy is on a mission
Leaves me in the dust
Yay! Cindy ran the whole way through and finished strong!

Superior fabs.
Trigate chips shrunk to 14nm then 10nm.
New CEO makes the deals.
Hey--that Tick Tock stuff really worked.
Do you really understand--non-believers, how incredible the Intel manufacturing advantage is becoming as we go to 10 billion dollar fabs? You will.
I for one would be shocked if Intel did not blow past 40 this year. I will enjoy reading long posts from Wally and even from you shorts for now but once Intel goes up to 40, there will start to be 5 or more posts per minute and then we get like the Apple board where all we get is NOISE!
Intel, like Nazareth, has risen from the dead, thirteen years stuck in Dead stock Purgatory buried and left for dead.
NO Investment money from Big institutions will increase their money in Intel until AFTER, the Intel rebirth becomes reality in the way of contracts and massive Net Income growth. They have all been burned for 13 years with Intel.
How much in the way of net income will it take to kick Intel to the 77 where it was in 2000? I would bet it will take 4. 5 billion in a quarterly net income along with steady growth for each quarter to follow.
What--you shortys and non-believers are laughing now?
Phones and tablets will wipe that laugh off your face and the start is sooner than you could know.
I will make a few predictions that put things in perspective.
Nokia used to be the King of phones. before then was Motorola. Now we have Samsung and Apple but how on earth can they possibly hold this lead when they are being attacked by Chines companies, Motorola again, as well as a dozen companies more? Intel will get into the top end smart phones and it does not care who wins. It will sell to Nokia, Apple or Samsung if they want. it will sell to anyone because it is Intel and that is what it does.
Hey shorts here---I know you will jump in long soon so there we are.
Intel is more like the Russian army of the 1940s now. I mean it has taken a long time to get going But now that it has, it will start to run over all in its way swallowing up agreements from phone companies and tablet makers by the dozens.
Name calling here is done by the Noise makers. Ignore them and --- watch the shocking growth to come from Intel.
How is Intel going to get into the tier #1 smart phones? The SEC is well aware of the InDell bribery scam that went on for twenty years.
InDell has to make a superior product and mend relationships with OEMs. Right now, their products are marginal and they have no top tier design wins. Last I heard, Atom had 15 subtractive decode bridges inside and was slower than frozen sloths.
Intc is paying its employees too much (most of my friends went there)! Their employees would take intc earning down and smart phones are (still behind a real tricorder) saturated.

Transportation is not that difficult in Jackson, MS. That's why it is very important if you do not have a vehicle that you meet people with a vehicle. Jackson State University does supply shuttles to take u to off campus classes but not around tge Jackson area.
Sometimes it runs according to the schedule however it solely depends on the driver
Jacksonville State University has a number of transportation buses. One of the buses can take students to Wal-Mart and back. Another will carry students to and from bars, eliminating the possibility of drunk driving.
We have a shuttle that takes us anywhere we need to go
We got them but no one likes their timing
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Transportation plays an important role in college life. Many students take random road trips or just like to go home every once in a while. Jackson offers public transportation for students who do not own a car or those who would just like to save gas. Many students rely on the JATRAN bus system to get them to their destinations. It is a reliable service, and it goes just about everywhere in Jackson. The University offers a shuttle service for those who need to get to an off-campus class or maybe need a ride to Wal-mart. In case of emergency, the campus police will escort you off campus to the local hospital.
It is very important to have reliable transportation while in Jackson. Everything that you need close by for your convenience. Traffic stops and checkpoints are common for those who are driving illegally or under the influence. You will get a ticket.
Shuttle 2 stops at Facilities Management, Short Street, Pearl Street, and the Athletics Assembly.

Rash of burglaries prompts meeting in KillingtonMay 08,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
KILLINGTON - The public is invited to attend a neighborhood watch meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Sherburne Memorial Library.
"It's important for citizens to get involved as much as they can, when they can," said Whit Montgomery, Killington's first constable.
The town has seen seven burglaries in recent months, with six of the seven happening in second homes. Montgomery said six of the seven appear to be connected and asked the public to attend the meeting and to keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
"I just urge people to be vigilant and if they see something strange or out of place to not be afraid to pick up the phone and report it," Montgomery said.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

TORONTO -- Roy Halladay is already plotting his return to
the Toronto Blue Jays' rotation.
Halladay, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday
after an appendectomy, is one of nine Blue Jays players on the DL.
Doctors have told the former Cy Young Award winner to take it
easy for two weeks, limiting himself to playing catch and riding a
bicycle. Halladay hopes to be pitching again within four weeks.
"If I can start doing strenuous stuff in two weeks, I hope it
doesn't take that long," Halladay said Monday. "I've never been
through it but a lot of guys who have had it done said that they
bounced back relatively quick."
Halladay is 4-2 with a 4.37 ERA in eight starts. He lasted only
five innings and was hit hard in an 8-0 loss to Boston on Thursday,
after giving up a season-high nine runs in an 11-4 loss to Texas in
his previous start.
"After [Thursday's] game I felt some twitching and stuff,"
said Halladay, who turned 30 on Monday. "It wasn't painful but
next morning I felt sharp pain."
By the time he arrived at Rogers Centre on Friday afternoon,
Halladay was pale. He told trainer George Poulis about pain in his
lower right abdomen. Poulis recognized the symptoms and took
Halladay to a hospital, where surgery was quickly scheduled.
Knowing how much the last-place Blue Jays are struggling made it
hard for Halladay to accept his situation.
"You always feel like maybe I can take something and continue
to maybe get over it some other way," Halladay said. "But after
the fact I felt a whole lot better about the decision I made and
that it was the right thing to do."
Jesse Litsch, who was 5-1 with an 0.96 ERA in six starts with
Double-A New Hampshire, will make his major league debut when he
starts in Halladay's place against Baltimore on Tuesday.
"It's definitely a good experience to be a big leaguer,"
Litsch said. "It's a different experience here."
Halladay, who won the AL Cy Young in 2003, missed nearly three
months in 2005 with a fractured left tibia and was shut down early
last season after suffering a strained forearm.
"It's definitely frustrating," Halladay said. "I'm due for a
couple of years of not having to deal with this."

Dear all,
I'm intensively searching for an opportunity in displaying my Photos on a Blog System. I've gone trough some of the post up to one year and some even more back talking about integrating some codes and hacks to WP v1.5. Me too I'm looking for an opportunity doing so. It's not easy to get the right choice. In this thread I like on one side to compile what I've read and assess my own needs and on the other hand see if there is any new informations around. I'm sure that there are still some members who still aren't fully satisfied the way how to publish pictures in WP. As I lack Internet Connection I could not look into all those details posted in all those threads I've gone trough but will do bit by bit when ever online. So let's start.
What Topic have I read?
1- I like very much sakamuyo's thread Displaying Photos in Blog [.../topic/6460] where you can follow nicely how he progresses into a solution for himself. I definitely will look further into his work.
2- Here are some thought about A Gallery vs Photolog from lane in the thread [.../topic/543]. Lane looks to be a straight forward thinker and knows exactly what he wants. He is strong in comparing different Systems and highlight there strength. It's worth reading it.
3- Again from Lane you can read in MassForm.com - a photoblog a way he seems to have found using the Excerpt field. And that's the thread to it: [.../topic/7240].
4- Image gallery in WP 1.5 from andemad comes from a person with over 3000 mobile phone pictures. The discussion develops rather on a large base about 'who is using what and when you're using that how you integrated it'. Later RummandDan joins the discussion where he says to have integrated Rum Gallery successfully into WP v1.5. But read the thread yourself at [.../topic/25967]. This thread is only 2 month old.
5- Here is a very interesting discussion mainly about using the Exhibit Plugin. The New image gallery plugin - needs testers thread is already 11 month old but I guess still valid.

10- Last but not least a small discussion on WP Needs Easier Way to Display a Photo in a Blog [.../topic/4913] by chaddycakes.
Ok this list got now a bit long but where the one I felt most important and interesting related to this subject. And it give you a fairly good owerview on the current situation of integrating a picture into WP.
What would I really need?
Now lets go one step further. What could be needed if a user wants to publish pictures? The list:
- first of all - a simple integration into WP v1.5 with the least interference into the main codes.
- a logical workflow between writing an article and publishing/inserting the pictures.
- pictures should be inline or at the bottom. Some thread mentioned to use the Excerpt field.
- it should give the option having individual pictures presented and also as Gallery using templates (just pass the info to the template how many column you like).
- also it should integrated pictures (e.g. jpg, png, tif), video (e.g. avi) and sound (e.g. mp3), Flash and Powerpoint -> Mediathek.
- All under mySQL
- Categorizing the content (see: blueblurry.com)
- EXIF and IPTC informations (see: alexking.org's PHOTOS)
- other DB fields should be: Title, Description, Keywords, Event, Location, State, Country , In-/Outdoor, People (on the picture), Date taken, Photographer
- when assigning a picture to an article - selectable for each picture what should be the preview size (maximum) and if a larger view than the Thumbnail is allowed.
- if the thumbnail is left, right or middle aligned.
- most of the parameters should be able to predefine values/content that will be used if nothing els is entered.
- easy upload of the pictures to your server.
- automatic Thumbnails creation.
- optional: who wants to access large pictures have to register. Those informations will be put into a LOG file when logged in.
- whenever a picture is displayed giving the option (set it in the config file) to have an other picture overlaid. This gives the opportunity to have a preset picture with Copyright Informations on it.
This list may not be complete but with all important informations required.
How I would prefer working with such a plugin?
The Picture Admin site should be accessible from WP. So when you're logged into WP and select the menu option Manage there you have the Command options e.g. Posts, Page, Categories, ... etc.. On this line it also should read Photos. Clicking this option will bring you to a separate window where you can choose of Adding, Editing, Searching or deleting pictures - well the Management of it.
When you write a post and want to insert a picture there must be a button on the WP page itself where the post writing is done. Whenever you like to use a picture you click this button and you can select from all those you want. You choose at this moment also where the picture is (inline, bottom, top) and what is the maximum size available.
Now where this Button should be located? In the Writing Post window. Either where the quicktags are or just a line above of the Save Button. Where ever, it must be around the Post writing Frame to have fast access.
To have the least code insertion into the Original WP files I would favorite working with including the files. So there must only be a single Include statement per line in the original WP files.
Ok, I hope with this thread I can start a discussion and that all those who are keen in writing Plugins will participate and develop. I'm very convinced, that there are many people around who would like to see something going on. I'm very curious to see how this develops and if at the end there is a clean and easy usable plugin.
Thanks for your time and reading

The support doesn't seem to get much answer but I am trying to reach out for help here anyway...
I'd like to change the automatic description when you pin an image. It's the post title by default but I'd like it to be the img title.
I don't seem to be able to change that. Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you in advance!!

Driveway in Disguise
The Christensens have a three-car garage but didn't like looking at so much driveway. So they set out a table and chairs on the paved area with a big pot of 'Lemon Rose' geraniums (Pelargonium graveolens). Such scented geraniums can be used to flavor lemonade: Just boil a cup of sugar and a cup of water, turn off the heat, and add about a dozen leaves. When cool, squeeze out the leaves, add a cup of lemon juice, and refrigerate. When you want lemonade, mix about 1 tablespoon of the concentrate per cup of cold water.

The Louisville Cardinals will join the Atlantic Coast Conference, the ACC announced this morning. UL will likely join the ACC in 2014 when Maryland departs for the Big Ten.
Louisville has been a member of the Big East Conference since 2005. Prior to that, the Cardinals were in Conference USA from 1996 through 2004.
"With the addition of the University of Louisville, the ACC continues to be well positioned for the future competing at the highest level in all facets of the collegiate experience," said the ACC Council of Presidents in a joint statement. "The ACC continues to be a vibrant conference that remains steadfast in its commitment to balancing academics and athletics."
"The University of Louisville is honored to join the ACC, a conference with a long history of excellence in athletics and academics," said Dr. James Ramsey, President, University of Louisville. "The ACC will be a great home for UofL and our commitment to great academics, groundbreaking research and top-notch athletic teams."
In order to join the ACC in 2014, Louisville will have to negotiate with the Big East. The conference has a $10 million exit fee and a requires 27 months notice. However, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse were each able to negotiate an earlier exit from the conference.
Louisville, currently led by head coach Charlie Strong, is enjoying a successful run over the past few years. The Cardinals are 9-2 this season and 23-14 since Strong took over in 2010.
The Cardinals face Rutgers on Thursday night (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) to determine who wins the Big East and earns a BCS bowl bid.
The ACC will have 14 members in 2013 when Pittsburgh and Syracuse become official members of the conference. In 2014, the ACC will remain at 14 after Maryland departs and Louisville joins.
It remains to be seen which division Louisville will be placed in and what, if any, other shuffling of the alignment might occur.
Football Schedules
I guess we now know what the letters "ACC" mean.
I thought ACC meant:
ACC has 7 locked bowl slots, maybe only 5 teams eligible…….
You dumb ass. Duke, UNC, Wake?
That was the point Nicholas. Duke, UNC, and Wake are fine schools. UConn or Cinci would be excellent examples of qualified teams on that same academic level. But instead the ACC chose to invite Louisville.
Comparing Louisville's academics with Duke, UNC, and Wake is like comparing a commenter who can actually compose paragraphs with one who simply goes around calling people "dumb ass".
Please feel free to let me know if this post goes over your Louisville level head to.
LOL @ Bill great answer
Consensus to add Louisville, including UNC, athletics comes first.
Supposedly four votes to also invite Connecticut: Virginia, Duke, UNC, Wake
no surprise BC was not in favor.
yall it means
Prepare to be destroyed birdgang………..
Well maybe not academically but sports wise the ville will represent!!!!
Quit being a hater. Just mad because now that Louisville is here in the ACC, your little weak team cant touch the Cards. You cry babies

Bolzano Hackathons
Here in Bolzano - in the middle of the Alps - we like to challenge our developers and creative people.
Every year- and sometime even twice a year! - we invite them to spend two days with us at TIS innovation park, where they can meet many others creative people from South Tyrol, northern Italy, Austria and Germany.
They are developers - male AND female, designers, journalists, statisticians as well as citizens, all with different ideas, backgrounds and competences.
We offer them [food - of course] workshops and coaching sessions on fresh topics as Internet of Things, entrepreneurship, mobile web development, etc.
Most importantly, they participate to a hackathon - a 24 hours marathon, where they have just the perfect time to rack their brains! From a sketch idea every team present their final product or a working prototype in front of a jury of experts.
The jury votes and selects the best project/s and we celebrate all together giving the winning teams their prizes!
About the prizes: we go big!
- Trips to Silicon Valley to meet experts of Google HQ, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Wikimedia Foundation, Modzilla, ...
- Local and international mentorship for helping the teams to develop their idea, in oder to make it ready for the market and for potential investors
- Annual subscriptions of domanis, cloud tools, storage for the project and teammates
- Vouchers for local web shops
- many others!
We know that our hackathons catch the attention of IT-companies looking for young talents - because yes, participants really have short time to make their idea work..sometimes with a team they just met! You can call it a pressure test!
Since during the hackathons we have some cool gadgets to play with - Oculus VR, Google Glasses, IoT lamps and wearable sensors, RasperryPis....many other people ask us to just come by and get a glimps of the situation.
That's why we organize our hackathons during important local events!
Take for example our first edition in 2013, held during the "Innovation Festival, a two days festival for exchanging ideas and discuss about technology, science and economy.
We focused on Open Data and the winner has been announced during the event "Open Data digital gold".
Fall 2014 was under the motto: "Science makes you fly!" and the hackathon was part of the event "Long Night of Research", a day dedicated to science and innovation in different fields.
Furthermore from 2014 we collaborate with AngelHack, a San Francisco based company that organizes global hackathon series. They offer to every local winning team of their seasonal series the opportunity to participate to a mentosrhip program, after which the team is invited in San Francisco for the final global event.

- Submission due of your project on the platform hackathon.io
Participants have to present a working prototype!
We're doing things a little different this time. We're saying goodbye to the Powerpoint days, and working solely with DEMO'S. No exceptions. To win an AngelHack hackathon, you will have to demo your product for at least 30 seconds. But don't worry if your project is not 100% perfect for the demo.
The jury, composed of Open Data and Technologies experts, will choose the winners according to the following assessment criteria:
Product / Solution
- Is the solution solving an existing problem?
- How much of an impact does the solution have?
- How likely will this product be able to acquire users?
Team / Execution
- Does the team bring the expertise to transition the Hack into a viable Startup?
Business Model
- How will the product be able to monetize?
- What potential does the product have and how sustainable is it?
- How well is the idea designed?
- How is the look and feel of the solution?
Grand Prize: HACKcelerator is the Grand Prize of Angelhack Hackathon Bolzano! Your team receives a 10-12 weeks of local mentorship. After that 2 people of the team are invited to fly to San Francisco to participate in a week of extensive pitch training and pitch your idea in front of 100+ investors at the culminating event of the program – Global Demo Day.
AngelHack asks for 3% equity in exchange for participation in the program.
Challenge: Build any web or mobile applications, which uses Clusterpoint Cloud as back-end database solution.
Prize: Clusterpoint Global Competition - $10,000 will be awarded to the best team that utilizes the Clusterpoint Cloud as a backend database in their project built during an Angelhack hackathon. Winners will be announced within 1 week after the series end.
Challenge: As the IoT becomes more and more prevalent we're interested in seeing how people can connect IoT devices with AWS to collect data from previously unrecorded sources. What can you do with that data and what problems can you solve?
Prize: $100 AWS Credits for all participants.
Challenge: Create an app showing innovative use of Bluemix
Prize: Winners will recieve access to the IBM Global Entrepreneur Program for Cloud Start-ups and will be eligible for up to $120,000 of free IBM Cloud credit.

In remembrance of victims of the capital punishment system worldwide.
The death penalty violates the right to life. It is the ultimate punishment with no place in modern criminal justice. The question as to whether or not it is morally acceptable has been debated for centuries.

I have a machine with 180 or so logical volumes as well as an OS partition that were wiped out with a format when reinstalling centOS6. I made a terrible mistake, not being familiar with the interface to not notice that it was formatting the entire disk rather then taking me to the partition manager that I've been used to since the redhat days. I cancelled the formatting with a control alt delete as soon as I noticed the issue but my VolGroup00 is gone from view and in it's place is a new volgroup that the installer created.
Is there anything I can do to recover that data?

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Some of the excessively sophomoric content will mystify viewers who can\'t relate to that \"adolescent rocker-boy\" mindset, but those who can will love the live footage, etc.
A wealth of backstage delights are available to a girl who's willing to surrender her ass to the roadies, posits the second installment in the series. Most of the sex ranges from standard-issue (Barrett Moore, Kelly Dean and Dave Hardman on a tour bus) to pretty good (Dolly Golden gets her Euro-bung gaped by a name-dropping Ron Jeremy), but we've got to take issue with Dick Nasty's obviously faked "first" pop-shot in his fun-with-food threeway with Christgen Wolf and Lenny.
Heavily-inked Strait (that's a guy) from Snot and his girlfriend Karen take standout-scene honors in their threeway with cute little Tangerine. Karen's a natural, energetically riding Strait's pierced prick and stuffing a couple of fingers into her own ass for good measure.
It's the real life interviews with bands discussing their most memorable groupie experiences that are priceless. Like when Clint from Sevendust, wide-eyed with wonder, tell his tale of a hermaphrodite (pronounced, "Afrodite") and his/her trusty Coke bottle. Or when Corey, the tough-chick singer from Nashville Pussy, spins a heartwarming yarn about fisting a psychotically-inclined female fan. And who couldn't enjoy Tairre B. From Tura Satana's animated anecdote about being attacked by Max Hardcore? ("I slapped him like the bitch he is!")

"Dear Footwear Staff,
I bought these hard-to-find shoes for my brother who is stationed overseas. He just received them and he loved them. I am happy because I had looked everywhere for these specific MBT shoes (my brother happens to be very picky and fussy about his shoes) and it was only until I ran into Footwear etc. that I found what he wanted, according to his instructions.
I am so happy with the purchase that I will shortly buy him another pair of MBT's, which as he says are the best solution for his lower back pain. Also, I loved the professional way Footwear etc. helped me solve a slight problem we had with my European Credit Card, and well, companies like Footwear etc. are a living proof that ethical, efficient business are the real American way.

I was following this link http://spyralout.com/2009/03/16/current-page-url-using-xsl-for-content-query-web-part/
I want to display query string value on my page. For that I have seen one solution on stackoverflow which I found bit complicated.So my approach is :
1) Get the current url
2) Use substring-after on that url to get the value of query string..
I can explain this with some e.g..
My Page url is www.stackoverflow.com/questions.aspx?display=18..I want to display 18 on my page...
What I have done so far...
1)I have added namespace in my xslt xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime"
2) Added a parameter
<xsl:param name="PageUrl" />
3)Added this value in variable
<xsl:variable name="DetailPageLink" select="$PageUrl" />
4) Now when I am trying to use this in substring-after, its not displaying any value...?
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($DetailPageLink,'=')" />
5) I have also tried
<xsl:value-of select="$DetailPageLink" /> but its not giving any value..?
Any idea where I am going wrong...
Thanks again Dimitre for answering it...but still the problem is same...as I said I don't want to pass url into global parameter..I want it to be dynamic...to answer your questions ..I don't know the logic behind it...I think its because of this namespace what I have used....PageUrl gets the current page url....but when I am trying
xsl:copy-of select="$DetailPageLink"/> or
xsl:value-of select="$DetailPageLink" /> or
xsl:value-of select="substring-after($DetailPageLink,'=')" /> ...
Its not displaying any output...but interestingly its showing page url when I am using
a href="{$DetailPageLink}">Jack /a>
So that means PageUrl is getting the value ....otherwise a tag should not have shown any output...
If you know any other approach to get the current page url , please let me know....

Comparison of embryonic specimens with juvenile and mature specimens of other skates indicates that the relative developmental sequence of events is maintained among several taxa within larger clades. However, there is a fundamental difference between the pattern of chondrification and the pattern of calcification in skates. Early in ontogeny a short synarcual surrounds the first free vertebral centrum. Additional neural arch segments are incorporated from anterior to posterior and the relative length of the synarcual cartilage to total length of the body normalizes early. A secondary direction of chondrification, from ventral to dorsal, is also present. Juveniles and subadults show that synarcual calcification is relatively late compared to the calcification of other regions of the skeleton and proceeds from lateral to medial. Comparison with extinct taxa also indicates that there is a decrease in vertebral centrum involvement with the synarcual cartilage over the evolutionary history of the clade. Results from exploratory analyses of morphospace and taxonomy reveal that phylogeny explains part, but not all, of the data on the synarcual in Rajidae. There is evidence of individual and ontogenetic variation among all species of skates examined, however, phylogenetically informative variation prevails. Comparison with other batoids demonstrates a trend where the number of vertebral centra flanked by the synarcual cartilage decreases among more derived taxa indicating a high degree of convergent morphology among batoids with potential functional significance.

Did anyone get to listen to the call? I am working and will later, but was wondering if it covered more than the release?
Lots of positive info Biker. Paying off debt, new hires, setting up a corporate office. IMO they burned through the offering pretty quickly though. Only 3.5 million left in cash. But their credit line should open up.
I think 2013 is going to be the most important year Echo has ever had.
3.5 million as of 12/31/12. They got an additional 11.8 million feb. 2013.
Te call was fine, and long term we will be OK. Problem is that in the short term it will drift down because there is nothing that can happen in the very near future to help the PPS. I look for it to drift back toward the offering price of .75. at which I will double my position. This stock requires patience, and as it is day traded, only the actual investors will show that. I am glad I unloaded 10,000 hares at .839 after hours on FRiday, as that gives me a nice cushion.
Strong call. The company has all the money it needs to accomlish its goals. 3 bucks seems very reachable.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

A view from route 13 of Mason road. The driveway on the right is the entrance to Camp Tevya. The race will begin at the covered bridge.
Starting line. Please try not to trample other runners going through the covered bridge.
The first 0.4 miles are along paved roads at Camp Tevya. The trail begins here at the gate.
The first few miles of the trail are well groomed, and it is difficult to get lost since the path is so wide. When in doubt, go straight along the large path.
There are some roots along the trail, but they are not difficult to run for anyone with trail running experience.
Due to a landowner issue, at North Mason road there will be a turn to the right. We will follow route 13 until Scabbard Mill Lane, and then join the trail again. We apologize for this inconvenience.
After crossing Scabbard Mill Brook Road, the path winds a bit around the old Railroad Bridge. After the bridge is one of the few turns on the trail, going to the right.
Here is the turn to the right.
This is around mile 3.
Along the way there are several ponds that are quite beautiful.
Getting close to the half way point. There is another pond on the right.
This is the Four Corners, which connects the Rail Trail to the Bartell Trail. This will be the site of the second aid station.
The trail continues through some nice canopied areas. The trail is still flat and straight.
The play of sunlight and shade in the forest.
This is the PSNH easement. On the other side of the field is the end of the Brookline Rail Trail and the beginning of the Milford Rail Trail. Only three miles until the Milford DPW.
Here the trail deviates from the rail bed, which is usually underwater. This is the beginning of a few hills on the left.
The third road crossing at Melendy Road. Take a right on the road and go to about the end of the guard rail.
Here is the sign for the trail.
After the crossing at Melendy road, the trail goes straight for a while and then takes a sharp turn to the right.
Keep an eye out for interesting burls on trees. But also keep on eye on footing in this section. There are a lot of rocks and roots on the hills.
The Milford Rail Trail is not as straight as the Brookline Rail Trail, but it is still easy to follow and there are few side paths.
Here the trail crossing over a driveway.
The crossing at Armory road. It is pretty obvious. Keep an eye out for traffic on this road.
The tunnel under route 101.
The last road crossing at Union Street. It goes straight across to the left of the guard rail.
Entering the woods at the final stretch before the Milford DPW.
The bridge at the Milford DPW. This is mile 7.5, the half-way point. There will be an aid station here.
Heading back from Milford DPW towards Union Street.
Towards the hills.
Down the hill to the bridge. Take a sharp left here.
The trail winds through the woods.
Back in Brookline.
The Four Corners on the way back.
Getting closer to the railroad trestle
Here is where the original rail trail goes to the left towards the trestle, and the race goes to the right.
Take a sharp left here towards the trestle.
Difficult to get lost here.
Getting closer to Lake Potanipo.
Here is a view of the Lake from the boat launching. This is right next to the race start.
Had to get a photo of the lighthouse.
Across the street from the race start is another covered bridge. The rail trail continues this way on to route 13, but it needs some more work.
This is the parking lot at the start of the Bartell Trail. It is about 1/2 mile from here to the Four Corners aid station. The parking lot is located near Eddy Ave off route 13.
The beginning of the Bartell Trail. Thanks for looking at the race preview. See you on race day!

I'm one of the contributors for the Meta Box Class here on Github (link) and before I get too deep, I wanted to ask if anyone knew of a straight forward way to allow users to add additional fields "on the fly", having an "add" button with a text field to add additional fields (i.e. list items). I've seen this done a few ways in the past, but I'm all for not reinventing the wheel.
Agreed, I've seen it too, but I don't think there's any readily available API or method.
For me, I use a lick of jQuery;
Note that you might wanna tweak those selectors if you plan on having multiple 'instances' of these.
take a look at the WP alchemy metabox class. Dimas has already sorted that out w/ his have_fields_and_multi setup

LOS ANGELES—Kayla-Jane Danger has been very busy filming new scenes for her site and putting the final touches on her novel, Pleasure or Pain, based on Zalman King's film. But, she's making time to interview with Brewin' After Dark this week. She'll be on the show this Tuesday, March 26, at 10pm PST/1am EST and will discuss all her projects, including the Gold Rush Rally in June and her Las Vegas parties in conjunction with VIPNVegas. The show is live and can be heard here.
"I can't wait to go on Brewin' After Dark—the show is very quirky and Pat Spinella really lets the fans get to know the girls and doesn't treat them like porn girls," said Kayla-Jane Danger. "After finishing writing Pleasure and Pain, I'm excited to talk about it, the movie debuting on Cinemax this fall, and all the other exciting things I have going on."
Touch Me! magazine recently interviewed Kayla, and the in-depth interview appears on their site and will also be included in the upcoming edition of the magazine. The interview lets fans see a different side of her as she answers questions about her sex life, what she finds most attractive in a woman, how excellent shoes and feet make her weak in the knees, the secret to her amazing flexibility and much more. The entire interview can be seen here.
All requests for interviews, appearances, magazine placement and general media inquiries about Kayla Jane Danger and KJD Media should be directed to Erika Icon of The Rub PR.

Activities in the Cotswolds
There are a number of activities in the Cotswolds to keep you busy; the traditional Cotswold activities of walking and cycling are as popular as ever, with many visitors to the Cotswolds coming for the numerous walking and cycling trails surrounded by stunning countryside.
The Cotswolds are situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with thousands of miles of footpaths and bridleways, a walker's paradise. Walk through rolling countryside dotted with picturesque villages full of history and follow winding river valleys with some great views.
Activities such as cricket and rugby can be participated in, or enjoyed in a more leisurely fashion - spectating with friends. Kingsholm is the home stadium of Gloucester Rugby with a capacity of 16,000 people - once home to England's national team before they settled at Twickenham.
Horse racing is an important pastime in the Cotswolds. The world-famous Cheltenham Festival takes place on the doorstep of the Cotswolds, with an electric atmosphere captivating the whole town right through the week.
Activities in the Cotswolds are not just sporting - see the Cotswolds at your own pace by hiring a classic car and taking in the beautiful scenery - try Cotswold Classic Car Hire.
A great way to learn more about the Cotswolds is to take a cookery course here. You'll learn all about the local produce of the Cotswolds, and hopefully take away some new skills as well.
If you are an adventurist, then you will enjoy the Cotswolds outdoor adventure activities including canoeing, paddle boating, rope swinging, rock climbing, plus so much more!
If you prefer to see things from the saddle, the Cotswolds has many riding centres and both long distance routes and shorter trails which is probably why some of the country's top eventers live here!
Enjoying a leisure activity is just one way to experience the picturesque Cotswolds.

Best, worst of Chargers drafts
December 27, 2012
THE BEST: 2. Shawne Merriman, OLB, '05. This was the real payoff on l'affaire Manning. In addition to Rivers, Smith got the 2005 pick that was used on Merriman, who was the NFL's most demonic pass-rusher until a failed steroid test and physical issues kept him on the San Diego sideline. (Another of the Giants' draft picks, incidentally, was used by the Chargers on placekicker Nate Kaeding.)

Diabetic Shock and Insulin Reactions
In this article
How Is Hypoglycemia Treated? continued...
After you've taken a snack, wait 15 minutes and check your blood sugar level again. If it is still low, eat another snack, then wait 15 minutes and check it again. Repeat the process until your blood sugar level is in its normal target range.
If you lose consciousness, you will need immediate medical attention. It's important that you educate the people in your family and the people you work with about diabetic shock and about what to do if it happens. Someone should call 911 or arrange to get you to an emergency room if that's not possible.
You can ask your doctor to prescribe a glucagon rescue kit and then teach others how to use it. Glucagon is a natural hormone that rapidly causes the level of sugar in your blood to rise. If you are unconscious, someone injecting you with glucagon even before emergency help arrives can prevent further complications and help you recover.
Can Diabetic Shock Be Prevented?
There are things you can do to lower your risk of diabetic shock or hypoglycemia.
One of the most important things to do is to understand the medication you are using, whether it is insulin or a pill that increases the body's production of insulin. Ask your doctor how and when to take the medication and be sure to always take the recommended dose at the recommended time. Also ask your doctor to explain when you need to make adjustments to your medicine when there is a change in your schedule or routine.
Be sure to follow your meal plan, eating the right amount of the proper food at the right time. Don't skip any meals or snacks, especially before going to sleep or exercising. Discuss your snacks with your dietitian. Some snacks may be better than others at certain times for preventing hypoglycemia. During periods of more intense physical activity, be sure to eat more carbohydrates.
Be sure you check your blood glucose level routinely according to the plan you've worked out with your doctor. Also check it before you begin to exercise and at regular intervals during exercise or other exertion. And check it again after you've finished any physical activity.
Discuss your use of alcohol with your doctor. Your doctor can help you understand how to drink safely so you don't increase your risk of hypoglycemia.

You don't need to browse the shelves of your local Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI) to check out its latest drawn-out saga. There's a pretty good battle brewing in the DVD rental chain's boardroom. An activist shareholder is waging a proxy battle to win a director's seat, and the conflict's starting to get ugly.
Volatile markets seem to be the norm these days, as stocks gyrate through ups and downs on a daily basis. But sometimes buyout news and other short-term forces can send individual stocks soaring by 10%, 25%, even 50% -- even on the market's worst days.
Hot on the heels of last week's huge oil sands IPO, two significant deals in the U.S. oil patch made headlines this morning.
When we last checked in on Mosaic (NYSE: MOS), the company was striking a positive tone on its outlook for phosphate and potash fertilizers in 2010. PotashCorp (NYSE: POT) undercut that sunny stance a few weeks later, as it issued some meager earnings guidance.
Are American consumers retracting even further? When the Great Recession began, consumers were trading down -- sales of private-label brands increased, vacations were postponed or pared back, and of course, fast-food chains became more popular as Americans opted for value meals over sit-down restaurants.
When you invested that grand, you would have had just 29 shares at the price of $34.50. Hardly enough to get on with, right? Well, today, through splits and spinoffs, you would have:
Total value? Just shy of $62,000. Better yet, you'd have earned a total of $30,000 in dividends as a result of that original $1,000 investment.
What if you had reinvested those dividends? Instead of nearly 1,900 shares across three companies worth a total of $62,000, you'd have more than 7,100 shares of three companies worth a whopping $235,000. That includes more than $82,000 in dividend payments -- nearly three times the income received by those who chose not to reinvest dividends.
But here's the really sweet part. Today, without having to sell a single share, you'd be receiving nearly $12,000 in income -- every year.
Now that's what I call a wealth machine.
Yeah, right!
All right, I know what you're thinking. "That is such a blatant example of data mining! Nobody did that!" Well, as it happens, my grandmother did. Not with Altria, but with ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM).
She bought shares of Exxon back in the early 1960s and reinvested her dividends. By the time my grandfather was ready to retire some 30 years later, they were able to buy two lots of land and build their retirement home on one of them -- paying cash on the barrelhead just from that one investment.
In other words, Altria is by no means the only example in which reinvesting dividends could have made you rich over the years.
Want further proof?
Professor Jeremy Siegel of the Wharton School of Business has shown that the 100 highest-yielding stocks of the S&P 500 outperformed the overall index by three percentage points per year. Now a three-point advantage may not sound like much, but over 10 years, that meant more than $900 more received for every $1,000 invested.
Wealth machines
Now before you can say, "Where am I going to find companies that even come close to what happened way back then?" let's look at what makes a "wealth machine."
I call Altria and ExxonMobil wealth machines not because they were great companies (although they were) or because they paid a dividend -- after all, not every dividend payer can be called a wealth machine -- but because they consistently raised their dividends. And they were able to do that because they performed consistently well.
What may surprise you is that research by Robert Arnott of Research Affiliates and Clifford Asness of AQR Capital Management has shown that companies with higher dividend payout ratios -- the amount of the dividend compared to net income -- tend to have higher real earnings growth in the following 10-year period. In other words, they're better-run companies. And we already know what earnings growth means for a company as far as price goes.
So that's what to look for: companies that consistently raise dividends over time. Now let's look at some numbers.
Would you believe me if I told you that 20% of the companies currently in the S&P 500 have increased their dividend by 10% or more per year over the past 10 years? It's true. In fact, fully 104 companies have done so.
That list includes such familiar names as Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT), at 24.7% per year over the past decade, and PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), growing dividends at a slower, but still healthy, 12.7% per year.
Here are three other wealth machines -- and what you would have today if you had invested in them 10 years ago, reinvesting all dividends.

An 18.7%-per-year return comes close to rivaling Warren Buffett's performance -- and you don't even have to be as smart as he is. All you have to be is smart enough to invest in well-run companies with a history of paying dividends and increasing those payments over time.
Where the stock market will be tomorrow, next week, or even next year is anyone's guess. And considering the enormous size of the global financial markets and all of their moving parts -- including the new ones coming out of Washington -- such prognostication is about as futile as trying to boil the ocean.
Driven by strong results at its gambling enclave in Macau, Las Vegas-based Casino Operator Wynn Resorts Ltd has reported a drop in its net loss for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31.
Where the stock market will be tomorrow, next week, or even next year is anyone's guess. And considering the enormous size of the global financial markets and all of their moving parts -- including the new ones coming out of Washington -- such prognostication is about as futile as trying to boil the ocean.
Warren Buffett has a track record that's the envy of the investing world. So if you had a chance to own shares of his company at a discount, wouldn't you jump at the chance?

Sasquatch 2011: Das Racist, Live In Concert
Language Advisory: This is a live concert recording, and may not contain language suitable for all audiences.
When The Village Voice featured Das Racist in its 2009 year-end music issue, the headline simply read, "Thanks, Internet!" But since that year, when the Brooklyn rappers dropped the viral superhit "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," they've made a remarkably swift transition from goofball meme-makers into bona-fide MCs. Not that they've lost their sense of humor: The group's most recent mixtape, Sit Down, Man, is packed with mind-bending pop culture references that get funnier the more you dissect them.
Recorded live at The Gorge on Sunday, May 29, Das Racist performs here as part of the 2011 Sasquatch Music Festival outside Seattle, Wash.

Paper Mario (series)
It has been requested that this article be rewritten because the character bios are far too long and need considerable trimming (tagged on September 28, 2014).
The Paper Mario series is one of the many of the Mario series. Four games have been released in this series: Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Paper Mario, and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, with a fifth; Paper Mario: Color Splash, currently in development. Most of the games in the series are strictly RPGs, though Super Paper Mario is a platfomer with RPG elements. The four games have been released on separate consoles, the Nintendo 64, the Nintendo GameCube, the Wii, and the Nintendo 3DS.

A Troy-based plastic surgeon and state-recognized author is scheduled to appear Sunday, April 29, at the Stair Public Library in Morenci.
Dr. Anthony Youn will speak about his book "In Stitches" at 4 p.m. at the library, 228 W. Main St., library director Colleen Leddy said.
Youn, a regular guest on "The Rachael Ray Show," has appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" and is a contributor?to cnn.com. He is a 2012 recipient of the Library of Michigan's Michigan Notable Book award for "In Stitches."
The book recounts Youn's adolescence and his four years in medical school.
"My parents were (Asian-American) immigrants and decided from the day I was born that I would become a doctor," Youn said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "You could say it was my destiny."
After moving from Los Angeles back to his home state of Michigan, Youn said, "I came to the epiphany that there has never been a book written by someone about becoming a doctor and who was completely truthful in their experiences."
Youn said many of the medical-themed biographies on the market are often humorless and avoid talking about the missteps and barriers medical students and new doctors find in their career journey.

The UK System for Digital Sound with Terrestrial Television
The UK Government has approved the joint BBC/IBA specification of a transmission standard for digital stereo sound with terrestial television. This system, which was developed by BBC engineers during the past four years, conveys two high-quality digitally-coded sound signals along with the picture and mono f.m. sound signals of the UK television System I. Extensive laboratory and over-air tests have proved the compatibility and ruggedness of this system, and optimised the choices of modulation system and baseband coding method. Broadcasters in the Nordic countries have adapted the UK system for use with television Systems B and G.
