Carter led 5-3 from the first session and two scintillating frames saw each player take one each.
Carter's cautious but clinical approach paid off when he edged a defensive 11th frame to lead 7-4, before an unfortunate foul by Murphy allowed the former world number two to move to within a frame of victory at 8-4.
But Murphy emerged after the mid-session interval a new man and played some brilliantly courageous snooker to erode Carter's lead frame by frame. Murphy struck a 105 break to move to within a frame of Carter.
Murphy forced a decider and, when the beleaguered Carter missed a straight red with the rest, wrapped up the match in awesome fashion to complete a classic comeback and a final against Mark Davis or Mark Selby.
Carter extended his lead in the first frame of the evening session, pouncing on some misfortune for Murphy, whose attempt to break the cluster of reds saw the cue ball nestle among them. Carter surpassed Murphy's 46 to take the first frame in clinical fashion at the Barbican Centre in York.
Carter appeared on course to make it 7-3 but a loose red by the Essex man let Murphy back in. After the two were locked in a safety tussle, Murphy showed character to pot a vital red that, had he missed, Carter would have wrapped up the frame. But Murphy kept his head to reduce his opponent's lead to 6-4.
The next frame was cat and mouse for long periods, with both players exchanging safety shots until Carter rifled in a red left by Murphy before building another frame-winning break that ensured he re-opened his three-frame advantage at 7-4.
Carter was in full flow at this point and raced into a 60-0 lead, but was pegged back when he overcooked a red that forced him to play safe. Murphy opened the pack of reds with a curious shot, but Carter elected to leave a straightforward red open, which his counterpart duly potted – only for his misfortune to strike again as the cue ball rolled straight into the middle pocket.
Carter survived another bout of safety to move to within a frame of victory before the mid-session interval. But the fight back was about to begin.
Murphy struck back after the break with some brilliantly gutsy snooker. He showed bravery and determination to attack every ball, and the tactics served him well as he produced three thrilling frames to erode Carter's lead.
Murphy surrendered a whopping 59 points in fouls, but what he lacked in fortune in replaced with mettle, pouncing on a loose red by Carter to slam another long red in on his way to a break of 105 and reduce his lead to 8-7.
Carter still only needed one frame to win it, but his confidence was ebbing away in the face of a ruthless Murphy onslaught. Murphy was in imperious form as he played without fear, winning the next frame in thrilling style to level the match at 8-8.
The deciding frame was a predictably cagey affair until Murphy sunk a brilliant red into the middle pocket that put him back in control - and was typical of the kind of snooker that got Murphy back into the game after the mid-session interval. Murphy kept his nerve to beat a broken Carter, and reach the final of the tournament he won in 2008.
First session report
Carter, who beat Stuart Bingham en route to making his first semi-final of the season, was never behind against the 2008 champion and two outrageous frame-winning flukes from the man they call 'The Captain' proved the only difference in a match-up that always looked close on paper.
Murphy, who edged out teenage Belgian Luca Brecel 6-5 to make the semi, was off and running in the opener with a lovely long red after Carter missed a red to the left corner. But with a 42-point lead and the frame seemingly at his mercy, a couple of uncharacteristic missed pots and an unfortunate in-off from the yellow let Carter off the hook and he took full advantage to take it on the pink.
Following a re-racked start to the second, Murphy was first in again but another missed red let Carter in for a frame winning 77 break. Murphy was yet again in first in the third and looked to be cruising before running slightly out of position with his break on 42.
There followed a moment of controversy when the referee warned Murphy that he must hit a red after two successive escape misses, although it appeared there was no red that he could see both sides of.
Justice may have been done, however, as Carter ran out of position on his final red with the frame in his pocket and Murphy cleared to the pink to pull one back.
Buoyed by pinching the last, Murphy kept Carter in his chair after his break off, knocking in a superb 89 to draw level at the interval. For once, Carter was the first man in the balls on resumption, two scoring visits enough to restore his frame advantage as Murphy failed to find the snookers he required.
An outrageous fluke saw Carter steal the next after Murphy had established an early lead before running out of position. Forced into a tough pot to the middle, the red flew off the jaw of its intended middle pocket target and into the opposite corner. It left Carter in prime position to knock in a superb 101 clearance to re-establish his two frame lead.
Murphy vented his frustration with a superb attacking 34 break at the start of the seventh before a fabulous long red set up a snooker from which he reduced the deficit to just one.
But with a tight final frame of the session drifting over the 40 minute mark, another outrageous fluke from Carter set up a frame winning chance. And although Carter missed the double on the one red he required to make frame safe, Murphy's pot attempt jumped out of the jaws and off the table to leave him two behind.

LONDON (April 19, 2013)—Authorities in the U.K. say measles is suspected as the cause of the death of a 25-year-old man, as an epidemic continues to sweep across south Wales.
The outbreak has led to more than 800 infections and renewed discussions over the failure of some parents to vaccinate their children against the potentially fatal virus.
The most effective way of fighting the disease is the measles mumps and rubella vaccine, or MMR, but a vocal anti-vaccine movement has helped push measles cases to an 18-year high in England and Wales.
It's not yet clear whether the man died of the virus.
Public health officials in Wales said tests showed he was infected with measles at the time of his death, but that the cause was still being investigating.

For the first six or seven weeks of 2012, it appeared Robert Griffin III was a lock to capture the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award. After all, the No. 2 overall pick out of Baylor was at or near the top of the league in nearly every major passing category and was a top-10 rusher in the NFC.
You could argue that he's faced two pretty good defenses and that, with the Redskins depleted on both sides of the ball, he isn't exactly getting a ton of support. But Andrew Luck has dealt with similar challenges in Indianapolis, yet the No. 1 overall pick out of Stanford is quickly becoming one of the league's most dangerous quarterbacks.
In stark contrast, the last two games Luck has played have arguably been the best of his career thus far.
Here's the suddenly close comparison:
The point is that it's now at least a race with more than one competitor. And Luck, not Griffin, possesses the momentum.
Who's the offensive rookie of the year right now?
At this point, I still give the edge to Griffin, because I'm considering what he's done as a runner and the overall statistical edge he has over Luck. I also believe it's tougher for rookie quarterbacks to shine consistently than it is for first-year running backs.
Still, it's going to be interesting to see if RG3 can hang on during the second half of the season. Like his team, Griffin is sliding quickly. Is he good enough already to regain his footing, or did he peak early in his rookie season?

Loopkevers Grensmaas - Ground beetles near the river Meuse in Flanders, Belgium
Loopkevers Grensmaas - Ground beetles near the river Meuse in Flanders, Belgium is a species occurrence dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). The dataset contains over 5,800 beetle occurrences sampled between 1998 and 1999 from 28 locations on the left bank (Belgium) of the river Meuse on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands. The dataset includes over 100 ground beetles species (Carabidae) and some non-target species. The data were used to assess the dynamics of the Grensmaas area and to help river management. Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/LifeWatchINBO/data-publication/tree/master/datasets/kevers-grensmaas-occurrences
Variation in time and space is a key characteristic of the river Meuse. Ground beetles are a good indicator to assess these dynamics. The goal of this project was to better understand the dynamics of the Grensmaas and help river management, habitat restoration and policy.

He is Alberto R. Gonzales, not Gonzalez. (The Times has misspelled Mr. Gonzaless name in at least 14 articles dating to 2001 when he became White House counsel. This year alone Mr. Gonzaless name has been misspelled in February and March, and in two articles in April.)

Upstate community and campus visitors raise more than $11,000 for Haiti earthquake relief
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Upstate Medical University employees, volunteers, students and campus visitors have raised $11,687 for Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
Monies raised during the two-week fund drive will be dispersed to three agencies that are helping with relief efforts in Haiti: the American Red Cross, Doctors without Borders and Partners in Health.
Upstate's Office of Community Outreach and Global Health Education (COGHE), Team Upstate and Upstate Medical University students coordinated the fund drive, setting up donation locations all across campus.
"The outpouring of support for this effort is truly inspiring," said Susan Stearns, Ph.D., associate professor and director of COGHE. "The devastation from the earthquake in Haiti has moved many people to contribute to relief efforts, and we wanted to support our campus community with a way to help."
Upstate has close ties with Haiti, with eight students from Haiti enrolled at the university. Five second-year medical students spent the recent holiday break there, donating medical supplies and volunteering at the main hospital and bringing clothing for children in orphanages. They returned to classes before the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. Several faculty members also have provided medical training and expertise to the Central American country over the years.

A new law will help renters living in a home that goes through foreclosure. It�s called the Protecting Tenants At Foreclosure Act. Enacted by congress on May 20th, it allows renters to stay in foreclosed home for a minimum of 90 days.
In the past, renters were usually forced out within days of a trustee sale. It didn�t matter whether they had a signed lease or not. The new law says that renters can stay for at least 90 days after the home is sold. If the home is sold to an investor who does not intend to make it their primary residence, then the new owner must honor the lease. In other words they can�t kick someone out, or suddenly raise the rent.
There are some limits. First, the renter must be a bona fide tenant. The renter cannot be the original mortgager or his family. The lease must have been an �arms length transaction�. That means that the owner who lost the home could not have rented it a buddy just before foreclosure. It also says that the rent must not be �substantially less than fair market� value.
A lot of banks, real estate agents and lawyers do not know the law has changed and may be kicking out renters after foreclosure. That�s no longer legal.
You can read the Protecting Tenants At Foreclosure act here.
If you need help enforcing your rights, contact the City of Phoenix Landlord/Tenant Counseling office.

From Where I Stand: Mary was a woman not intimidated into the Incarnation, not beholden to male answers, and not in doubt about her place in the church.
From Where I Stand: Bhutan, a tiny country between China and India, has chosen a spiritual rather than economic metric of achievement, and it's refreshing.
From Where I Stand: If working to elevate the role and status of women around the world is tainted work, then we women religious are obviously guilty as charged.
From Where I Stand: So much will be written about Pope Francis, so we should instead explore the way things are with the People of God.
From Where I Stand: The church could use this opportunity to do a little demystifying to better connect with the 21st-century world.
From Where I Stand: On Valentine's Day, stand up for the women treated as things, beaten and bruised, used and exploited sexually.
From Where I Stand: It's true, yes, that being without a gun can get a person killed, but it is also true that simply having a gun does not guarantee survival.
From Where I Stand: I get a lot of questions in my mail, many of them personal, many of them professional -- meaning ones that are usually requests for comments or articles.
It happened in the midst of LCWR's pending visitation from Rome on the viability and depth of commitment in orders of women religious in the United States.
One of Rome's great concerns about U.S. religious orders of women, it seems, is the lack of young early adult vocations in the United States today. Why U.S. women's orders, in the face of large-scale decline in numbers of both religious and priests in Europe as well, should merit such special attention on this subject, I'm not sure. I do think, however, that the subject in general needs to be rethought and perhaps reframed. Even by religious orders themselves.

I believe Larry Krystkowiak would be a good coach for the Jazz. Would he be the
best choice? That I do not know, it really depends on who else is available.
The Utah connections, however, are undeniable with Johnnie Bryant and Alex Jensen whom I would keep, the rest ... probably gone.

Give Kevin Ollie a call. He has a degree in Communications, and these players could use someone who can communicate, plus knows how to win. Corbin went to school for Computer Science. So if the Jazz want to keep him with the franchise, put him in front of a computer and let him keep score. Just don't make him an analyst, no one could understand what he is saying anyway.

Coach Krystko's coaching philosophies would certainly translate to the pro game, but I hope he settles in at the U of U and doesn't look too seriously at leaving for the NBA again in the future. My guess is his name will pop up in relation to several coaching searches, college and pro, following the 2014-15 season.

Nice piece of fiction. Grade F! While Ty has faults every one forgets the circumstances he has been forced to deal with. That's sad and bothersome at the attitude of Jazz fans. Much of the blame belongs to upper management! Lindsey made up this roster looking to the future ignoring the need for veteran leadership and continuity Paul Milsap could have provided! Milsap has improved every year in his career. He was sorely missed this year. These young guys were not ready for leadership roles. Gordon Haywood was a disappointment as a leader because he was asked to carry too much. Milsap would have lessened those burdens for Haywood. Lindsey is responsible for the season but Ty will get the blame!

Man accused of ID theftMarch 29,2014Man accused of
identity theft
BENNINGTON A local man is facing four felony charges and five misdemeanors after police said he withdrew $300 from the account of a neighbor who had let the man use his debit card.
Christopher J. Hope Jr., of Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday to four felony charge of identity theft, four misdemeanor charges of using false tokens and one misdemeanor charge of giving false information to police in order to implicate another person.
Hope was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Bennington Police Officer Lawrence Cole said he met with Richard Danforth, of Bennington, on Jan. 13. Danforth said he had accidentally stepped on Hopes phone in mid-December.
To pay for the damage, Danforth said he gave Hope his bank debit card and password on Jan. 7. Hope was told he could take $20 from the account.
Instead, according to Cole, Hope made four withdrawals which totaled $300. Cole pointed out none of the withdrawals were for $20. Cole said he saw the video-recordings made by the automated teller machine and recognized Hope.
Cole said he spoke to Hope on Jan. 14. According to Cole, Hope said Danforth had given him the debit card and password, told him to withdraw as much money as possible, keep $20 and give the rest to Danforth.

Your Baby and Child (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
This newest edition of Penelope Leach's much-loved, trusted, and comprehensive classic an international best seller for twenty-five years, with nearly two million copies sold in America alone encompasses the latest research and thinking on child development and learning, and reflects the realities of today's changing lifestyles.
In her authoritative and practical style, Leach responds fully to parents every concern about the psychological, emotional, and physical well-being of their children. She describes, in easy-to-follow stages from birth through starting school, how children develop: what they are doing, experiencing, and feeling. And she tackles both the questions parents often ask What does a new baby's wakefulness or a toddler's tantrum mean? and those that are more difficult: How should new parents time their return to work, choose day care, tell a child about a new baby or an impending divorce?
Whatever the concern or question, "Your Baby and Child" supplies the information, encouragement, and reassurance every parent-to-be or new parent needs.

Global wildfire frequency and extent are expected to increase under projected climate change in the twenty-first century, yet little is known about how human activities might affect this trend. In central Mongolia, there has been a 2.5°C rise in spring and summer temperatures during the last 40 years and a decrease in moisture availability during the latter half of the twentieth century. Concurrently, Mongolia has experienced multiple shifts in socioeconomic systems during the twentieth century, most notably the establishment of a Soviet-backed communist economy in the 1920s and a rapid transition to privatization in the 1990s. Observed records of fire in the late twentieth century suggested that fire activity had increased, but no long-term data existed to place these trends in a historical context. Our objective was to identify spatial and temporal patterns in fire occurrence in the forest-steppe ecotone of the Tuul River watershed in the context of changing climatic and social conditions since 1875. We used fire-scarred trees to reconstruct past fire occurrence during the period 1875–2009. Our results indicate a significant association between human activity and fire occurrence independent of climatic variables. The greatest evidence for an anthropogenic fire regime exists following the transition to a free market economy during the early 1990s when land-use intensification near the capital city of Ulaanbaatar resulted in fire exclusion. We emphasize the importance of including socio-political variables in global models of wildfire potential, particularly where fuels limit fire activity.

The La Massana Valley in Andorra is dominated by towering peaks, particularly the 2946-metre Comapedrosa Mountain. Pretty villages are scattered throughout La Massana along with ancient chapels, bridges, and Romanesque monuments.
The La Massana Valley encompasses the ski resorts of Pal (1780m), Arinsal (1780m), and La Massana (1550m). La Massana (1600m) is the largest and the lowest of the villages and is directly lift-linked to the Pal-Arinsal ski area; a gondola takes skiers straight up from the village to the slopes and there is also a ski bus linking the villages.
The Pal-Arinsal ski area offers access to 63 kilometres of pistes for all levels (four green runs, 16 blue, 16 red, and five black) linked by 30 ski lifts. Skiers can reach an altitude of 2560 metres and enjoy a vertical of 1010 metres. Despite the laid-back appearance of Pal-Arinsal, there is a buzzing après ski scene with plenty of bars and restaurants.
Arinsal offers wide, gentle slopes of beginners, while Pal is favoured by intermediates for its long blue runs. Experts can take on the challenge of the La Comellada black run and enjoy off-piste trails through the trees. Snowboarders flock to the Arinsal sector for the modern snowpark with big air, half-pipe, and jumps.
Pal-Arinsal has recently merged with the 24 kilometres of runs in neighbouring Ordino and Arcalis (1940 metres) to form the Vallnord ski area. In total Vallnord features 87 kilometres of pistes divided in to 66 runs linked by 41 ski lifts.
La Massana is a relatively new ski resort so nightlife is much quieter than neighbouring Arinsal and there is no official run back to town. The village is also one of the closest to capital La Vella, ten minutes away, with its vast range of duty free shops.
The La Massana Valley is served by two main airports Toulouse - Blagnac in France (196 kilometres away) and Barcelona in Spain (202 kilometres away).
Fly to Barcelona or Toulouse then catch the bus. If you book in advance, the bus will take you to Arinsal for a few Euros more. Otherwise, it will drop you at the bus station in Andorra la Vella, then taxi to your destination. This may be cheaper if there is more than one person.

I sit at the keyboard and I am stunned. Early in the morning hours I lost a good friend due to an unexpected, but fatal heart attack. My wife, Carolyn and I were called to the hospital before midnight and were told that one of my deacons, Mark Scott, had been brought to the ER after collapsing. I waited with two of his sons, his sister and other family members as they prayed and waited the results of a cardiac catheterization procedure to stabilize his heart. The heart doctor returned too soon to tell us that despite their heroic efforts, Mark had gone on to be with his Savior. The immediate deluge of cries and tears were natural as they reflected and amplified the sense of our great loss. Bro. Mark leaves behind three fantastic sons: Josh, John Mark, and Jonah; along with his mother, Faye, and sister Nancy. Pray that God's peace will stand guard over their hearts.
Mark is one of those guys who had a sweet, compassionate, and helpful spirit. There was nothing that he would not do for you…you only had to ask and he would say, "Let's do it!" The thing I will remember most about him was his love for mission work in Haiti and Honduras. Due to Mark's exuberance and leadership, myself and many of our church members at Lindsay Lane Baptist made our first mission trip to Honduras two years ago. He was our experienced leader on this whole mission trip. He led in the fund raising, in laying out the itinerary, in the food preparation, etc. He did everything but pack our own personal bags. I believe that Bro. Mark was the catalyst that turned a dream of visiting a foreign mission field into a reality for many of us. Without his ministry in our lives, it would still only be a dream. Thank you, Bro. Mark!
The picture on this page is one of Bro. Mark taking a cool drink of water as we dug a trench to lay a water line in the hot 95 degree Honduran heat. I chose this picture because it reflects what Mark was to me. He was a deacon who faithfully supported me, but more importantly, he was that friend who was always a "cool drink of refreshing water" when I needed it. The Bible tells us in Proverbs17:17: "A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity". That verse just begins to describe my friend, Mark. He was always there, a true friend…and like a brother, you could count on him in hard times!
After learning of his father's death, Mark's oldest son, Josh, lamented that he still had so much to learn from his father. Josh, you are not alone…we all had much to learn from your father and our dear brother. We will wait a while and one day in eternity, we can sit down and pick up where we left off. Thank God for forever friends!

Planescape: TormentWhat?
In case you didn't know, It's an old game I used to play, but never finished..
Ermm.. Ignus, Morte, Nameless One.. uhh.. Yeah.
So I'm slowly nearing the end of the game. Or am I?
Hell, it's never clear with those Black Isle games.
Anyhoo- it's amazing how well told and deep the story in that game is.
It's like reading a good book.
And that's pretty damn rare.
At least in this medium.
Next up- Baldurs Gate.
Yeah, I.. I really don't know where that came from.
It had to be GOG.com that made me play all these games again.
Also- I just re-instaled Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2.
Fuck! No! What am I doing? Shit!
Finaly Finished Final FantasyMore than finished, played about 80 hours, that's 30 hours of gameplay AFTER the end of the game.
Never again. That game isn't even that good.
I won't compare Western and JRPGs here. There's a time and a place for that.
But I have a beef with FFXIII.
What the hell was up with the story in this game? Why can't I understand what's going on?
Why are there so many plot holes it looks like a cheese grater whatthefuckishappeningattheendholyshit... *gaaaasp*
Even so, I enjoyed it.
I'm not going to go too deep into the rabbit hole here. I want to forget about those 30 hours, and focus on those last story hours.
That's 10 hours. 10 hours I want to remember from a game I've been playing for 80 hours. Jesus christ.
And StarCraft 2Could've just said Starcraft- the '2' would be implied. Or would it?
I bought StarCraft 1 recently... Yeeeah..
I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
And that's pretty much it lately!
See ya around next time!
Updated my journal.

Vegetable oil ruins good quality food? Come now lets take a step back, I suppose they could use an alternative but I'd hardly say it ruins anything. It is interesting however that vegetable oil can be used as a form of a pesticide itself.
BTW, what's the difference between "artificial" trans-fat and "naturally" occurring fat there as far as your metabolism goes? You'll find an answer to that question in there too.
A burrito bowl runs ~750 calories Source [chipotlefan.com]
A big mac meal (sandwich + large fry) runs ~1050 calories. Source [mcdonalds.com]
A difference of over 30%... and I would argue the Chipotle is more filling. The only thing that Chipotle could really improve is getting a drive through!

RALEIGH (AP) The state Division of Motor Vehicles has stopped issuing driver's licenses and ID cards because of a problem with a national system.
DMV officials said the system became overloaded Monday morning. It's unclear what caused the problem, but state officials are trying to help the system to recover.
The agency did not release details of the national system or when it could come back online.

Antigua Beaches are numerous with a variety in both size, waves and water clarity giving each its own Caribbean characteristics with 'hotspots' depending upon what activities you have in mind.
The top beaches in Antigua include the Halfmoon Bay, which is popular with expats and body surfers and also Long Bay Beach, Darkwood Beach and Dickenson Bay that are all superb for swimming and snorkeling with their calm turquoise waters.
The Sandals Grande Antigua Resort is a great choice and this is located on one of the best beaches in Antigua, Dickenson Bay. This resort presents 5-star luxury and hosts an Ultra-All Inclusive holiday that will keep even the most active busy.
The Grand Pineapple hotel is great alternative for families with its superb views of Long Bay from the private patios or balconies. The hotel is located within 25 acres of tropical gardens and the All Inclusive status will help those on budget. There is also a good choice of restaurants and bars within this resort serving international cuisine along with local beers, wine and spirits.
If you would like to book a beach holiday to Antigua or would like to find out more about the best hotels on Antigua beaches then please complete the enquiry form.

This is a product concept I developed with some fellow students in "creativity techiques" class. Our premise was to connect vanilla/custard with coffee.
So the idea is custard in solid state which only liquifies in a hot environment i.e.coffee. As one might see in the single packaging the product is shaped just like a natural vanilla pod which can comfortably be used like a spoon in your coffee.
Fun secondary effect: Could be used as a lollipop and hands smell like vanilla after usage :)

This athletic-inspired V-neck scrub top comes from Smitten and will work hard while still showing your playful side. Openings for the front pocket lay along the rounded front seam. There's also an interior pocket on the left side, and an exterior welt coin pocket on the right-hand side. There are also inset bands at the shoulder seams of the set-in sleeves and a shoulder yoke. Are you ready to shake the foundations of "ordinary"? They are made of Smitten's Miracle Fabric a soft polyester and spandex blend.
Great fit and great fabric! There are only 2 cons to this scrub top. 1) Sizing. I purchased 2 tops the same size and one top was way smaller than the other. 2) The neck part of the top could be heavier-- because of the material when I wear my name badge it pulls down and twists. The top would be perfect if the neck line was a little stronger.
Flexible fabric, great fit!
Love this brand!! This scrub top, the matching bottoms and the Chic jacket especially. The fabric is soft and stretchy with a design that is both comfortable, stylish and useful (all the pockets).
Theses tops are amazing and long on my torso. I wish they came in more colors!

"Illustrated with exacting detail. Ideal fodder for budding engineers. " ―Booklist
"The squat, wide format of this book is already well-suited to its subject matter, and it becomes even more so when its trick is revealed: five pages pull out, almost tripling the scene's width and unveiling additional railroad cars. Steele provides an informative chronology of locomotive history from the advent of steam power to the rise of luxury trains like the Orient Express and today's high-speed and mag-lev trains. . . . this is likely to delight railroad enthusiasts." ―Publishers Weekly
"In this slide-out, see-through, hands-on book, young readers will see the train from the humble beginnings of the steam engine to the challenge of laying transcontinental rails. Amazing die-cuts, sliders, and see-through panels provide a unique glimpse into some of the world most iconic trains. Philip Steele is the author of more than sixty books on history, geography, and cultural and social themes for children. (Ages 8 up)" ―Tucsoncitizen.com

KeywordDolphin; Mammal; Temporal resolution; Auditory evoked potential; Modulation rate transfer function
Adequate temporal resolution is required across taxa to properly utilize amplitude modulated acoustic signals. Among mammals, odontocete marine mammals are considered to have relatively high temporal resolution, which is a selective advantage when processing fast traveling underwater sound. However, multiple methods used to estimate auditory temporal resolution have left comparisons among odontocetes and other mammals somewhat vague. Here we present the estimated auditory temporal resolution of an adult male white-beaked dolphin, (Lagenorhynchus albirostris), using auditory evoked potentials and click stimuli. Ours is the first of such studies performed on a wild dolphin in a capture-and-release scenario. The white-beaked dolphin followed rhythmic clicks up to a rate of approximately 1125-1250 Hz, after which the modulation rate transfer function (MRTF) cut-off steeply. However, 10% of the maximum response was still found at 1450 Hz indicating high temporal resolution. The MRTF was similar in shape and bandwidth to that of other odontocetes. The estimated maximal temporal resolution of white-beaked dolphins and other odontocetes was approximately twice that of pinnipeds and manatees, and more than ten-times faster than humans and gerbils. The exceptionally high temporal resolution abilities of odontocetes are likely due primarily to echolocation capabilities that require rapid processing of acoustic cues.

Howard Lynch's legacy was a lasting one, and went far beyond the football field.
Not only was he an outstanding coach, as shown by a 14-year record of 126-29-1 at Amarillo High, Lynch helped shape the lives of many of the people that played for him.
He became head football coach at Amarillo High School in 1937, after the legendary Blair Cherry went to the University of Texas. Cherry's teams won three straight state championships (in 1934, 1935 and 1936). Lynch's teams then continued a tradition of excellence for more than a decade.
During Lynch's tenure as head coach, the Sandies had only one losing season (his final one in 1950). They won eight district championships, and a state title in 1940.
It was following that 1950 season, when the Sandies went 4-6, that the school board voted not to retain Lynch's services as head coach.
That perhaps was the low point of Lynch's coaching career. After all, he'd spent 21 years of his life at the school, including the last 14 as its head coach. And, it wasn't as though the Sandies had been a doormat.
"If he had any real negative reaction to what happened, he never said much about it around the house," said Lynch's son Sandy.
"I was in junior high when it happened, and don't remember dad saying much about it around the house.
"He pretty much separated the job from family life. I don't think that he ever brought the job home much.
"He actually wasn't as tough at home as our mom was. She was tougher on us than he was. Dad was the kind of person that you listened to. When he said something, you knew that he meant it."
He became AHS' assistant principal in March of 1951. Lynch held that position until being named the principal at Tascosa High, which opened in the fall of 1958.
Lynch was principal at Tascosa until he retired in 1967, following 37 years with the Amarillo Public Schools. He was an assistant vice president of Tascosa National Bank for 10 years. He passed away on Dec. 10, 1989 at the age of 87.
Among the numerous honors that Lynch received was being installed in the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor. He was a charter member of the THSCA, and also served as president of the association.
He was born in Hamilton, and moved to Amarillo in 1908. He graduated from Amarillo High in 1920, and was co-captain and tackle on the 1919 team.
Lynch earned a bachelor's degree from Centre College at Danville, Ky. in 1925. He was an All-Southern tackle on that school's famous "Praying Colonels" from 1921 to 1924.
He earned a master's degree from the University of Kentucky at Lexington in 1933, majoring in history and political science. He also attended West Texas State College.
Before returning to Amarillo with Cherry, Lynch was a coach and principal for five years at Franklin, Ky., where his teams had a 24-12-1 record.
In Lynch's first year as head coach of the Sandies, they were 9-2 en route to a district title in 1937. They went 7-2-1 in 1938, and 7-3 the next year.
Then came the 1940 state championship team that fashioned a 14-0 mark.
Three times after that, in the decade of the 1940s, Amarillo High lost only one game. The Sandies went 12-1 in 1942, 9-1 in 1943 and 12-1 in 1948.
From 1944-47, AHS went 10-2, 9-2, 9-2 and 9-2, winning the district championship each season.
Bill Thompson, a former great Sandie running back, played on Cherry's final team in 1936, and for Lynch in 1937 and '38.
"Howard Lynch was a great person," Thompson, who currently lives in Midwest City, Okla., remembers.
"I lived with Lynch family my senior year. He was like a father to me.
"But even beyond that, he was an excellent coach. He had the ability to recognize talent, and knew how to use it best.
"Most players just loved the guy. He was pretty strict. He didn't allow any horseplay. He was pretty much all business.
"The thing was the players just wanted to go out and do well for him. They had great respect for him, as a coach and person."
Thompson remembered a particular game in 1938, against Capitol Hill of Oklahoma City.
"I was returning punts, and got loose for a long one against them," he noted.
"I was going down the sideline, for a sure touchdown, and just tripped around the 7-yard line.
"Well, I came off the field and he (Lynch) went over and asked my what happened.
"I told him that I had tripped over the chains on the far side of the field.
"Well, when we looked at the game film the next day, he made it a point to tell the team to look real close at how the chains had tripped me up. Naturally, that wasn't what happened.
"But that was just his way. He never hardly criticized a player. He would point out what you did wrong, and how to correct it."
Thompson remembers that Sandie practices were thorough under Lynch.
"We did a lot of scrimmaging at practice," he said. "Football practice back then didn't start until after school. A bus would take us out to the field, and bring us back to school after it was over. Then, we'd have to get home on our own."
Bill Spencer, who played for Lynch in 1946 and 1947, said his former coach was the kind of person players wanted to do their best for.
"He was a good coach, and an even better person," Spencer said. "He was a Christian man that didn't put up with any kind of swearing or cussing. He just didn't tolerate it.
"We had good teams, and good players in those years," Spencer added. "We didn't lose many games, but when we did lose we knew that we either didn't play as well as we should, or just got beat by a better team."
Spencer said his former coach rarely showed much emotion, either during a game or afterward.
"He would go over the game films, and point out mistakes we might make. He'd work to correct the mistakes, so we wouldn't make them again.
"We didn't have as many coaches back then, like they do now. Besides the head coach, there were only two others. T.G. Hull and John Whinery were our assistant coaches, and they were good ones.
"Lynch oversaw everything. He'd been a line coach under coach Cherry, but as a head coach worked with the linemen and backs."
Spencer said that coach Lynch rarely gave stirring pep talks before games.
"I've heard better, and I've heard worse," he related. "Things were pretty calm in the locker room before a game, at halftime and afterward.
"The thing that I guess I remember most was that players wanted to go out and do well for him.
"He was a great person, and always had a player's best interest at heart."
Although Spencer no longer was in school when Lynch was let go as the Sandies' head coach, he remembered the incident.
"The players didn't like it at all," Spencer related. "I don't think they understood why it happened.
"Most anyone that I ever talked to about it thought he got a raw deal.
"But, I don't think he ever said much to anyone about what happened. He was that kind of person. However, it had to hurt some. After all, he'd been at the school a long time, and had a lot of success."
Spencer's brother John also played for Lynch, and nearly quit before his senior year. However, Lynch talked him out of it, and John Spencer went on to an outstanding collegiate career at Kansas University.
"I remember my brother got girl crazy, and was going to quit school and get married," Bill remembered.
"But coach Lynch talked him out of it, and I know my brother was grateful."
Lynch's dismissal was the newspaper's No. 1 story in 1951.

- In one strip, Calvin's mom is watching TV and Calvin is complaining about all the kissing the characters are doing. His mom announces "bed time!" and carries him up to his room. The last panel has a bewildered Calvin remarking, "There's a connection here, I just know it."
- One strip had Calvin ask his mother why it was "worth $5 a minute to talk on the phone to goofy ladies who wear their underwear on TV commercials," which leads, quite explicably, to him getting all of his television privileges revoked.
- He also asked his dad why "he lives with Mom instead of in a high-rise apartment surrounded by scantily-clad women," with the same results.
- Then there's the one program we get to overhear him watching, which doesn't so much get past the radar as utterly destroy it (note that the following is punctuated by kissing noises):
"Oh Mary, you look ravishing in that skimpy negligee!Mmm darling, don't you wish we were married?""But we are! Or did you mean to each other?""I've got to have you! Let's murder our spouses!""Murder?!—You sick animal! I love it when you talk that way! Come here!"Calvin, smiling widely: Sometimes I think I learn more when I stay home from school.
- A number of early strips see Calvin trying to get into or rent R-rated movies with pretty suggestive titles, like "Venusian Vampire Vixens," "Attack of the Co-Ed Cannibals," or "Cannibal Stewardess Vixens Unchained."
- In one strip, Calvin's gum-chewing leads to the memorable line: "An orifice is an amusing thing, all right."
- At the end of one strip, Calvin's dad receives a call from his wife at work to which he answers: "Look, Honey, could we talk about that operation some other time?" What's the context? Well, Calvin had just been asking his mom for a baby brother, but only so he could have someone smaller to bully.
- After a week-long camping trip suffused by rain from beginning to end, only for the sun to appear immediately after everything was packed up, the final panel combined a Noodle Incident and an implied Cluster F-Bomb. Of course, given the father's reaction when he drops something heavy on his foot, it may simply have been a cluster Angrish bomb.
Calvin: (eagerly): Did you know what any of Dad's words meant?
Hobbes: No, But I wrote 'em down so we can look them up later!
- There's a strip where Hobbes mentions that he reads National Geographic for the hot tigress babes on the cover. Well played, Mr. Watterson.
- Of course, it would only be porn if the tigresses were shaved.
- Then it would just be kitty porn.
- Of course, it would only be porn if the tigresses were shaved.
- For one show and tell, Calvin told his class that his mother dons "a patriotic leotard, a cape, and knee-high, high-heeled boots" and fights crime as a superheroine." In the last panel, as the mom is handing the dad the note from the teacher, he remarks, "Wow, show me that outfit sometime."
- During Uncle Max's visit, Max was asked whether he had kids and he says no, he wasn't even married. Calvin asked what difference that made, prompting Max to mention that Calvin must watch a lot of TV, while Calvin's parents were shocked.
- This strip. Not many non-German kids are expected to be familiar with the phrase: "Jawohl, mein Führer!"
- This exchange between Calvin and his father:
Calvin: What's wrong with just having fun by yourself, huh?!
Dad: When you grow up, it's not allowed.
- An early strip showed Calvin asking Hobbes the meaning of a long word in a book he was reading. Hobbes saw it, immediately became so shocked that his fur went all bristly, and then recovered quickly and said "I don't know." If you think about it, there's only one 12-letter word in the English language that could get a person (or tiger) to react that way.
- One wintertime strip had Susie building a snowman with long hair and bumps on the chest; when questioned by Calvin, she explains that it's actually a snowwoman. The last panel of the strip has Calvin building a snowman, visible only from the back, with his exasperated mother declaring, "We are NOT having an anatomically correct snowman in the front yard!" (Of course, left unexplained is why male genitalia are vulgar and unclothed breasts are not.)

AES E-Library
The Digital Coding of High-Quality Musical Sound
With the rising interest of digital recording and sound storage it is important to be able to reduce the number of bits of data as much as possible while still preserving the highest degree of fidelity. Two coding schemes were tested for their usefulness in this context: Huffman coding, which is an information-preserving coding scheme, and the system of floating-point coding which is roughly related to ADPCM coding and to predictive coding. This latter scheme is capable of reducing 22-bit samples to 13 bits with very little perceptible loss of quality. Discrimination tests were performed to determine the fidelity of the coded signal with the somewhat striking result that much more error can be tolerated in the midfrequencies (1 kHz to 6 kHz) than at either the low or high ends of the audio spectrum. A tentative explanation is offered for this effect based on masking phenomena and loudness summation.

Internet Providers Urged to Add Cybersecurity on Home PCs
Internet-service providers led by AT&T Inc. and Comcast Corp. are being urged by U.S. regulators to help users fend off malicious software that can turn home computers into stealthy weapons for criminal enterprises.
"Cyber attacks pose a very real threat" and companies are acting to fight them, Julius Genachowski, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said as he endorsed recommendations in a voluntary code of conduct formed by an advisory committee to the agency.
Companies need to detect the malicious software, known as botnets, and help educate and notify consumers, according to a conduct code adopted today by the advisory group called the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council. Participants include largest U.S. telephone company AT&T and No. 2 Verizon Communications Inc., leading cable provider Comcast, and Walt Disney Co.'s ABC television network.
The council urged that companies adopt practices to thwart the hijacking of Internet traffic to unintended destinations, and to prevent posting of fake Web pages that lure consumers to counterfeit sites that seem authentic, the council said.
Company Response
"AT&T is already fulfilling the recommendations in the reports," Bob Quinn, senior vice president of federal regulatory and chief privacy officer, said in a blog posting. Security solutions require participation from companies "across the entire Internet ecosystem" including software vendors, operating system developers and providers of content, Quinn said.
Today's recommendations "represent best practices that recognize the importance of companies having the freedom and flexibility to respond decisively" against atttacks, Stuart Elby, Verizon vice president of corporate technology, said in an e-mailed statement.
Comcast Chief Network Officer John Schanz said in an e-mailed statement that one of the best aspects of today's recommendations is "emphasis on timely, industry-led, consensus-based solutions, rather than government mandates."
Provider Opposition
The push for comprehensive cybersecurity legislation has intensified following attacks last year on companies including New York-based Citigroup Inc., the third-largest U.S. bank by assets, and Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed Martin Corp., the world's largest defense company.
Internet-service providers including AT&T and Comcast opposed new regulations protecting computer networks from hacker attacks at a House hearing this month. The companies said they prefer voluntary sharing of information about cyber threats.
The Obama administration is backing a Senate bill introduced Feb. 14 by Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent, that directs the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to set rules for companies deemed critical to U.S. economic and national security to improve their computer defenses.
A competing bill from eight Republicans including Senators John McCain of Arizona and Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas would avoid new regulations while promoting information-sharing through incentives such as protection from lawsuits.
Increased Spending
Cable and telephone companies, which operate networks that form the backbone of the Internet, would need to boost average annual spending on security almost six-fold to raise their attack-prevention rate to an ideal level of 95 percent from the current 76 percent, according to a Bloomberg Government study.
The figures mean increasing average annual security expenditures per company to $398 million from the current $67 million, according to the study. The Bloomberg study was based on a survey of technology managers at seven telecommunications companies conducted by the Ponemon Institute LLC, a Traverse City, Michigan-based research firm.
The Senate bill is S. 2105. The Lieberman bill is S. 2105 and the McCain bill is S. 2151.
