|Doc Rivers has the back of Rajon Rondo
|04.29.12 at 11:12 pm ET
Just before Rajon Rondo left the court in disgrace Sunday night after being ejected for chest bumping (not in a good way) official Marc Davis, he stopped and pleaded his case to his coach.
Doc Rivers stood there and listened briefly before Rondo was ushered to the locker room by team security. Apparently, it struck a chord with Rivers, who was once in Rondo's shoes, playing a pair of heated playoff series against the Celtics back in 1986 and '88.
Despite replays showing Rondo clearly bumped Davis with 40 seconds remaining before getting ejected, the Celtics coach came to the defense of his star point guard after Sunday night's 83-74 loss to the Hawks in Game 1.
'He's in the game, right?" Rivers answered when asked about Rondo's reaction to the foul call on Brandon Bass, who raked Josh Smith in the face on a loose ball scramble. "So, when you're in the game, I didn't know there's a rule the guy only involved in the play is the only one who can argue the call. As a coach, I'm not in the play, either. I argue calls vehemently.
"They're all 10 competitors. You're standing right there, you see what you see, you have a right to argue just as much as anybody else. I think it's great. I think it's getting your guys' back on your team.'
|Fast Break: LeBron James, Heat bury the Celtics
|05.11.11 at 9:49 pm ET
A pair of 3-pointers, a fast break dunk off a steal and a driving layup by LeBron James in the final 2:10 capped a 16-0 run that gave the Heat a 97-87 victory Wednesday night and ended the Celtics season after five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Nenad Krstic scored the C's final points of the season, with 4:28 remaining, giving the Celtics an 87-81 lead. But James broke an 87-87 tie with 2:10 remaining, and then buried a go-ahead trey with 40 seconds left after Jeff Green mishandled a poor Paul Pierce pass. After a timeout, Delonte West turned the ball over and James put the game — and the C's season — away with a dunk and a layup seconds later.
James finished with 33 points, and Dwyane Wade had 34 for the Heat. Ray Allen led the Celtics with 18 points.
Paul Pierce's early foul trouble: With the Celtics leading by three and James cruising for a breakaway dunk, Pierce committed a truly ill-advised foul just 5:40 into the game. Not only that, but it was Pierce's second personal, forcing coach Doc Rivers to give him an early hook before bringing him back for the second quarter. Pierce then picked up his third foul late in the second quarter and missed the final 1:44 of the half. He never got into a rhythm and couldn't provide any physicality on the defensive end.
Dwyane Wade's monster first half: While the rest of his teammates made just 6-of-24 first-half shots (25 percent), Wade buried 9-of-12 from the field and 5-of-9 from the free-throw line for 23 points before the break. While the Celtics shot 52.9 percent for the opening 24 minutes, the Heat trailed by only two points (49-47) at the half — thanks to Wade and the Heat's 23-14 advantage in free-throw attempts. Wade had 15 foul shots in all, and overall, the Heat totaled free throws 38 to the Celtics' 20.
Rondo's health: At one point in the fourth quarter, both Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal were receiving back treatment on the sidelines. And how could you forget Rondo was already dealing with a dislocated left elbow that left him at 50-50 prior to the game? He did not play in the fourth quarter, finishing with six points and three assists, despite a valiant effort. O'Neal also missed the final quarter, totaling just three points and two boards.
Careless turnovers: Garnett and Pierce combined for seven turnovers, and the Celtics committed 17 in all — the majority of them seemingly unforced. Down 3-1 and on the road, the C's couldn't afford to give the Heat that many extra opportunities.
Getting KG involved early: The Heat crowd may have arrived late, as usual, but Garnett showed up right from the opening tip. He attacked the paint and scored nine of the Celtics' first 13 points, finishing the first quarter with 12 points, five rebounds and two steals to help the C's grab a 24-16 before the Heat and their fans even knew what hit them. Considering Garnett's Game 3 success (28 points, 18 rebounds) and Game 4 failure (7 points on 1-of-10 shooting), the Celtics needed Garnett to set the tone. Unfortunately, he scored three points the rest of the way.
Ray Allen gets open looks: After struggling to find space and making only 11-of-30 shots in Games 2-4, Allen got free from Wade and made 6-of-12 from the field in Game 5, including 5-of-10 shooting on some pretty wide open looks from beyond the arc (not to mention a huge four-point play). His 11 first-half points helped pick up some of the slack left by Pierce's relative absence.
Nenad Krstic and the bench (yup, you read that right): At the end of the third quarter, Krstic buried a long baseline jumper that put the Celtics up 73-71 heading into the final 12 minutes of play. Krstic finished with eight points as the Celtics' bench outscored the Heat's 33-12. Krstic, Jeff Green (9 points), Delonte West (10 points) and even Glen Davis (6 points) each scored at least six points on the night.
|Chris Bosh: 'It's not over until the last game is won'
|05.10.11 at 12:36 am ET
Prior to a crucial Game 4 between the Celtics and Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the TD Garden Jumbotron flashed Chris Bosh's notorious quote following his atrocious Game 3 performance: "My emotions got the best of me early on."
Whatever Bosh did to harness them on Monday night, it worked.
"Before, the intensity of the crowd and my intensity that I was bringing, I was trying to control it too much instead of just letting it flow," Bosh said after the Heat's 98-90 overtime victory. "In this game, I tried to have the least amount of hesitation as possible. If I had an open shot, I was going to let it go. If the drive was open, I was going to take it. That gave me an aggressive mind-frame going in. It didn't really happen very fast for me, but if I have a good aggressive frame of mind in the beginning usually things go OK."
After totaling just five points on 2-of-8 shooting and two rebounds in 19 first-half minutes, Bosh made 6-of-9 shots after the break and grabbed 10 more boards for a total of 20 points and 12 rebounds — his second double-double of the series.
"Chris is a professional," said Heat teammate Joel Anthony. "We didn't have any doubt that he was going to come back after the last game. He responded well and answered anyone's questions about how well he was going to play. He did it on the court. He played huge for us, and that's what we knew he was going to come out and do."
Meanwhile, after Garnett's monster performance on Saturday cast a Shaquille O'Neal-sized shadow on Bosh's six points and five rebounds in Game 3, the forgotten member of the Heat's Big Three held KG to seven points on 1-of-10 shooting in Game 4.
Asked about Bosh's turnaround, Garnett simply responded: "Next question."
|Fast Break: Celtics fall as Heat turn it on in overtime
|05.09.11 at 10:06 pm ET
Behind 35 points and 14 rebounds from LeBron James, the Heat took the Celtics to overtime, where Miami outscored the C's 12-4 and captured a 98-90 victory Monday night that pushed Boston to the brink of elimination entering Game 5 on Wednesday night.
Paul Pierce matched his Game 3 effort of 27 points, but Kevin Garnett scored just seven on 1-of-10 shooting after netting 28 points in the C's only victory of the series.
LeBron James goes off: As impressive as Pierce was, James matched him every step of the way. He scored 20 first-half points on 7-of-14 shooting and grabbed five rebounds before the break. He and Dwyane Wade combined for 34 of the Heat's 50 first-half points. Outside of that duo, who kept their team with three points in the opening 24 minutes, the Heat role players struggled severely, shooting just 7-of-18 in the first half.
Second-half offense: Probably fatigued, the Celtics ran a stagnant offense in the second half — moving the ball slowly. After shooting 58.1 percent from the field as a team in the first half, the C's made just 12-of-39 (30.8 percent) in the second half and overtime.
Chris Bosh's third quarter: The Heat desperately needed somebody other than James or Wade to step up in the second half, and Bosh answered that call. In the third quarter alone, he made 3-of-4 shots for six points in addition to grabbing seven rebounds — actually pushing the Heat lead to four points at one point. Meanwhile, Garnett missed all four of his shots in the third quarter. The third member of Miami's Big Three kept the Heat within striking distance entering the fourth quarter (73-69). Bosh outscored Garnett by 13 points.
Big Baby's funk is severe: Struggling for most of the playoffs, Davis took two jump shots that didn't even approach touching the rim. He scored just four points on 1-of-4 shooting and did not grab a rebound or dish out an assist. This is a guy who received votes for Sixth Man of the Year, and he's been giving the Celtics nothing in this series.
Paul Pierce heats up early, again: Despite a less than capacity crowd at the start the game as a result of a traffic jam, Pierce showed up early — recording 16 points on six shots to go along with four rebounds in the first quarter. The Celtics led by as many as eight points and led 31-28 after the opening 12 minutes, giving the late-arriving fans plenty to cheer.
Jermaine O'Neal contributes: O'Neal produced eight points, three rebounds and two assists before halftime, providing much-needed energy at the center position. However, he did not score and grabbed only one rebound after halftime. Defensively, O'Neal neutralized Joel Anthony (4 points, 4 rebounds), who got his first start of the playoffs.
The bench presses the Heat: In perhaps their most impressive stretch of the postseason, a Celtics lineup of Jeff Green, Delonte West, Glen Davis, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal played the first 5:06 of the second quarter, actually stretching the C's lead to as many as 11 points (42-31). A Green corner 3-pointer and a pair of West pull-up jumpers highlighted a run that forced the Heat to call for a timeout.
|Fast Break: Rajon Rondo's return sparks Celtics
|05.07.11 at 10:57 pm ET
Rajon Rondo played with one arm, Shaquille O'Neal actually played basketball and Kevin Garnett submitted a vintage performance — and it all added up to a gritty 97-81 Celtics victory in what was essentially a must-win Game 3 against the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
In a scary third-quarter moment, Rondo got tangled up with Dwyane Wade and dislocated his elbow. After receiving treatment, he shockingly returned for the fourth quarter — finishing with 11 assists and six points with essentially one arm. Meanwhile, Shaq scored just two points in eight minutes.
If not for those two Celtics comebacks, Garnett would've been the headliner — totaling 28 points and 18 rebounds in the victory. Wade led the Heat with 23 points, and Mario Chalmers added 17 off the bench.
The Big Three: Even before Rondo went to the locker room with an elbow injury — and especially while Rondo got treatment — the Celtics' Big Three asserted themselves and carried the team on both ends of the floor. The trio looked as sharp as they had all series, totaling 70 points on 26-of-51 shooting. Paul Pierce nearly matched Garnett's output with 27 points of his own.
Meanwhile, the C's Big Three held Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh to 43 combined points on 15-of-41 shooting. Bosh was nearly invisible, totaling only six points and five rebounds.
Encouraging start: For the first 5:07 of Game 3, the Celtics appeared ready to seize early control and set a tone for what the Heat could expect in Boston. The Garden crowd was loud, and the starting five's play spoke louder. Behind a stifling defense and out of the flow of a well executed offense, Pierce scored 10 early points as the Celtics took a 16-7 lead — forcing Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to spend a timeout with 6:53 still remaining in the first quarter.
Shaq comes back: With 2:41 remaining in the first quarter, Shaq returned to the court for the first time this postseason and just the second time since Feb. 1. A minute and a half later, he scored his first bucket to put the Celtics up 27-20. He played 4:46 in the first half — lumbering for much of it, but also altering at least a few Miami shots on the defensive end. His final line of two points and one rebound were less climactic — but his 8:29 playing time was certainly encouraging.
Down goes Rajon Rondo: With 7:01 left in the third quarter, Wade and Rondo got tied up in the paint on the Celtics end, and Rondo landed awkwardly on his arm — appearing to hyperextend his left elbow. After clutching his arm on the floor for what seemed like an eternity, trainer Ed Lacerte ushered Rondo — and what appeared to be the C's season — into the locker room.
At the end of the third quarter, Rondo returned to the Celtics bench with a dislocated elbow. And he returned to the floor to start the fourth quarter, bringing the crowd to a deafening level. He played the entire fourth quarter.
Joel Anthony's energy: As has been the case all series long, the Celtics had no answer for Anthony (12 points, 11 rebounds) off the bench. He recorded 10 points (on 5-of-5 shooting) and seven rebounds in the first half alone. Four of those seven boards came on the offensive end, where he often found himself wide open underneath the basket (hence the perfect first-half field-goal percentage).
Ray Allen's foul trouble: Questionable or not, Allen picked up his third foul with 6:48 still to play in the second quarter as he brushed Wade's elbow on a 3-point attempt. The whistle came on the heels of a string of questionable calls by the refereeing crew of Bob Delaney, Bill Kennedy and Steve Javie. Also, Moments after Rondo's injury, Wade took down Allen underneath the basket, and Allen had to be restrained from going after Wade — a rare but understandable burst of anger for the 3-point king, for certain.
|Irish Coffee: Celtics must cash in at end of quarters
|05.05.11 at 10:29 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
The Celtics were once the best closers in basketball — playing suffocating defense and precision offense to keep leads (or deficits) safe at the end of each 12 minutes. Now? Not so much.
As the whistle signaled the close of each of the first three quarters in Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, it's been Miami — not the Celtics — that has turned up the heat on both ends of the floor to stretch a lead the C's had tried so hard to erase.
"One of our biggest strong points in our team and how we play the game is closing out quarters," added Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen. "What we haven't done in these past two games is close out the quarters well. Whether we're down, whether we're up, whether the game is tied, to finish quarters we have given them too many points. We have to be a lot more solid."
The Celtics have been outscored at the end of each of the first three quarters in both losses — 99-90 in Game 1 and 102-91 in Game 2. In the last two minutes of those six quarters, the Heat have outscored the C's by a total of 12 points. That advantage balloons to 22 when you look at the final three minutes or 32 points when you zoom out to four minutes.
Miami has beaten the Celtics 13-6 in the last three minutes of the first half in both matchups. In Game 1, the Heat stretched a 38-30 advantage into a 51-36 halftime lead. Then, in Game 2, the Celtics turned a 36-34 edge into a 47-42 halftime deficit. Each time, they never recovered.
"One of the things we clearly have to do a better job of is close out quarters," Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters after Tuesday's loss. "They closed out the first quarter on a run. They closed out the second quarter on a run. They closed out the third quarter, and then they closed out the game all on runs. We have to figure out a way of finishing quarters better than we did."
|Fast Break: Celtics collapse in another loss to Heat
|05.03.11 at 9:45 pm ET
The Heat broke open a tie game in the fourth quarter with a 14-point run and LeBron James' 35 points helped Miami defeat the Celtics, 102-91, to take a two-game lead in the second-round series. Rajon Rondo led the Celtics with 20 points, 12 assists and six rebounds.
Game 3 is back in Boston on Saturday.
Fourth-quarter collapse: After surging back to tie the game at 80 apiece, the Heat scored the next 14 points, including six free throws, to take a 94-80 lead with three and a half minutes remaining. James dominated that stretch, totaling 12 fourth-quarter points. The Celtics unraveled, failing to get back on defense as a result of complaints about the officiating. Even Doc Rivers picked up a late technical foul arguing a call (the Heat did own a 36-22 advantage in free throws).
Heat's Big Three vs. Celtics' Big Four: The Heat entered the game with a 33-3 record when their Big Three combined for 70 points, and James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh combined to top that milestone by 10. Wade, James and Bosh combined for 80 points and 26 rebounds, while Rondo, Allen, Pierce and Garnett totaled 56 points and 22 rebounds. Allen (7 points) and Pierce (11 points) especially struggled.
Paul Pierce isn't Paul Pierce: Pierce left the game in the first half after twisting an ankle. After getting treatment in the locker room, he returned relatively quickly. Still, he didn't appear as explosive and struggled for a second straight game. Meanwhile, Allen — who was already struggling — bruised his chest during a third-quarter collision with James.
Jeff Green inserts himself: In 10 first-half minutes, Jeff Green made 4-of-5 shots — including a pair of 3-pointers for 10 points before the break (he finished with 11 points). His performance highlighted what was perhaps the bench's best stretch of the playoffs, as the Celtics stayed with the Heat to start a low-scoring second quarter. Green even demonstrated some rare emotion, letting out a roar after being fouled by James in the third quarter. Delonte West (10 points) also had five points on 2-of-2 shooting off the bench during that same span.
Guarding James Jones: After Jones scored 25 points on seven shots in Game 1, the Celtics made a concerted effort to keep Jones from killing them on open 3-point shots — and it paid off. Forcing Jones to play off the dribble rather than set up along the 3-point line, the C's held him to one missed field goal in the first half. Meanwhile, Jones picked up three fouls on the defensive end before the break — rendering him useless.
JO-ffensive rebounding: The Celtics have struggled on the offensive glass all season, but Jermaine O'Neal single-handedly gave the C's five extra possessions in the first half alone — as they battled the Heat evenly (7-7) in offensive rebounding for the first 24 minutes. O'Neal finished with a respectable eight points and nine rebounds, but the Celtics ended up losing the rebounding battle on both ends of the floor.

This is an awesome tire I bought my 2014 F-150 Super Crew 4x4 brand new and had a 6" lift and the Toyo AT 2's 35x12.50 20's installed on a set 20x9 fuel throttle rims. There has never been any issues with the performance of these tires I just turned 54,142 miles on them and they still have 3/8 of an inch of tread left they have worn perfectly smooth all the way across the tire I've had them rotated at every oil change which is every 5,000 miles I believe I can get 65,000 or possibly more out of these tires the tires are just now starting to hum a little loader but not bad don't let a few crybabies keep you from buying this tire. I live in Florida so I can't give a snow rating. One other thing if you want a car ride buy a car!

Had the original O.C. AT tires and did not get very good wear. The AT II have been excellent for all around driving. With a heavy camper on the truck on B.C. coast logging roads, these performed very well with no blast rock cuts . Toyo's have a very good strong side wall which reduces side roll, even with the camper on. They may a little noisier than some, but the performance has been very good. At 160km on dry they hold well and have not felt hydroplaning even at higher speeds.

Customize your vacation, you can do it all without leaving the property or if you enjoy having peace and quiet and relaxing by the lake, but with all the amenities... you will love our vacation home!! Located on Cedar Lake in Nashua, Iowa, you will walk just steps out the back door to Cedar Lake. Imagine eating dinner and having drinks in the screened in porch while you watch the sun set over the lake. Take a relaxing soak in the always freshly filled hot tub. We also have 2 kayaks,2 bicycles, a canoe, fire ring, laundry and a 52 inch television. Our dock even has a boat lift for your own boat, if you would like. Everything you will ever need, plus! The security of being in town with all the privacy of your own place and everything is included...no additional amenity charges!
My parents bought the tiny house and transformed it to the place of their dreams. We boated, fished and loved every minute of each others company. I want all my guests to have times like that with the ones they love.
Sharon Kipp purchased this house in 1991
My Dad trusted me to keep his project alive and make sure our family continues the legacy of hard work and great fun.
The hot tub is small enough that it is easily filled with clean water after each visit. This limits excess chemical usage in trying to 'keep' the same water.
This was my second stay at the charming little lake house in Nashua, IA. Once again, it did not disappoint. Our goal was to escape reality for a couple of days and relax. That was easily done! The house is completely furnished with all necessities, which also added to the no-stress weekend. The view of the lake, the bikes, and the kayaks were perfect! I can't wait to visit again!
This cabin was perfect for my 4 girlfriends and I for a weekend getaway. The open floor plan was fantastic for entertaining and chatting while making meals. We most certainly took advantage of the hot tub and also did a little kayaking and canoeing as well. Would most certainly come back again.
A great getaway for us. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Especially enjoyed the porch, hot tub and lake view. Accommodations are excellent.
Stayed for 3 nights with family on way to a basketball tournament. Very nice and clean and right on the lake. Screened porch was awesome in the morning. We took kids in canoe and kayaks in the afternoon. At night we roasted marshmallows and kids sat in hot tub. Great place to getaway with all the comforts of home! Excited to stay again next year!
Our family of 5 had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. We loved the screen porch and had a taste of everything: hot tub, kayaks, bikes, swimming on the little sand beach across the way. A super clean and enjoyable weekend!
One thing to keep in mind: although this sleeps 6, there is only one bedroom. The other beds are a pull out sleeper, and a day bed with a trundle beneath in the main living area. Sleeping was a little cramped since our 3 children are adult sized! But we made it work and would definitely go back again.
Great house and very helpful renters. Would stay ahain!
Cedar Lake is in a small town with all the small town amenities...The Town House Café...The Dairy Treat...a bike trail...Lake Shore Park...Nashua Country Club...The Visitors Center...Water Over the Dam Days...Chuck Wagon Races...Chickasaw County Fair and more!

The well-known argument against the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI) due to George Gaylord Simpson is re-analyzed almost half a century later, in the light of our improved understanding of preconditions for the emergence of life and intelligence brought about by the ongoing "astrobiological revolution". Simpson's argument has been enormously influential, in particular in biological circles, and it arguably fueled the most serious opposition to SETI programmes and their funding. I argue that both proponents and opponents of Simpson's argument have occasionally mispresented its core content. Proponents often oversimplify it as just another consequence of biological contingency, thus leaving their position open to general arguments limiting the scope of contingency in evolution (such as the recent argument of Geerat Vermeij based on selection effects in the fossil record). They also tend to neglect that the argument has been presented as essentially atemporal, while referring to entities and processes that are likely to change over time; this has become even less justifiable as our astrobiological knowledge increased in recent years. Opponents have failed to see that the weaknesses in Simpson's position could be removed by restructuring of the argument; I suggest one way of such restructuring, envisioned long ago in the fictional context by Stanislaw Lem. While no firm consensus has emerged on the validity of Simpson's argument so far, I suggest that, contrary to the original motivation, today it is less an anti-SETI argument, and more an astrobiological research programme. In this research programme, SETI could be generalized into a platform for testing some of the deepest assumptions about evolutionary continuity and the relative role of contingency versus convergence on unprecedented spatial and temporal scales. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is now more than half a century old and has provoked enough discussion on technical, philosophical, and popular level, much of it critical. Historically, the criticism of SETI has been strong enough to heavily influence the course of research, so that there is a significant interest in discerning the nuances and fine points of critical argumentation. In this paper, I outline the two major forms of SETI scepticism, "fundamentalist" and "instrumentalist," which are often conflated in the published literature, both technical and popular. Precise delineation between these two types of scepticism is important for future research as a part of a wider taxonomic project, the build-up of SETI theory, as well as for smooth joining of SETI with the ongoing astrobiological revolution. Resolving the confusion in this respect is likely to lead to an improved atmosphere and heightened public image of future SETI searches and related activities. © 2013 IAA Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Currently, the CCD camera most used by observers of the Astro- nomical Observatory of Belgrade is the ALTA Apogee U42. It is used for both photometric and astrometric observations. Therefore, it is very important to know different measurable parameters which describe the condition of the camera - linearity, gain, readout noise etc. In this paper, we present a thorough test of this camera.

Risk Analysis | Year: 2012
Ought we to take seriously large risks predicted by "exotic" or improbable theories? We routinely assess risks on the basis or either common sense, or some developed theoretical framework based on the best available scientific explanations. Recently, there has been a substantial increase of interest in the low-probability "failure modes" of well-established theories, which can involve global catastrophic risks. However, here I wish to discuss a partially antithetical situation: alternative, low-probability ("small") scientific theories predicting catastrophic outcomes with large probability. I argue that there is an important methodological issue (determining what counts as the best available explanation in cases where the theories involved describe possibilities of extremely destructive global catastrophes), which has been neglected thus far. There is no simple answer to the correct method for dealing with high-probability high-stakes risks following from low-probability theories that still cannot be rejected outright, and much further work is required in this area. I further argue that cases like these are more numerous than usually assumed, for reasons including cognitive biases, sociological issues in science and the media image of science. If that is indeed so, it might lead to a greater weight of these cases in areas such as moral deliberation and policy making. © 2012 Society for Risk Analysis. Source

Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres | Year: 2016
Physical processes that characterize living matter are qualitatively distinct in that they involve encoding and transfer of specific types of information. Such information plays an active part in the control of events that are ultimately linked to the capacity of the system to persist and multiply. This algorithmicity of life is a key prerequisite for its Darwinian evolution, driven by natural selection acting upon stochastically arising variations of the encoded information. The concept of evolvability attempts to define the total capacity of a system to evolve new encoded traits under appropriate conditions, i.e., the accessible section of total morphological space. Since this is dependent on previously evolved regulatory networks that govern information flow in the system, evolvability itself may be regarded as an evolved ability. The way information is physically written, read and modified in living cells (the "coding concept") has not changed substantially during the whole history of the Earth's biosphere. This biosphere, be it alone or one of many, is, accordingly, itself a product of natural selection, since the overall evolvability conferred by its coding concept (nucleic acids as information carriers with the "rulebook of meanings" provided by codons, as well as all the subsystems that regulate various conditional information-reading modes) certainly played a key role in enabling this biosphere to survive up to the present, through alterations of planetary conditions, including at least five catastrophic events linked to major mass extinctions. We submit that, whatever the actual prebiotic physical and chemical processes may have been on our home planet, or may, in principle, occur at some time and place in the Universe, a particular coding concept, with its respective potential to give rise to a biosphere, or class of biospheres, of a certain evolvability, may itself be regarded as a unit (indeed the arch-unit) of natural selection. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

A Novel Experiment
Inscriptions reading "Beale" and "Breckinridge" recall a novel 1850s experiment by the U.S. Army. Major Henry C. Wayne and Edward F. Beale, the superintendent of Indian Affairs in California, had long tried to solve the water problem on the route from the Mississippi River to California through the Southwest desert. In 1855, some men went to Europe and Africa to sturdy the habits of camels in captivity. Buying 33 camels in Egypt and Turkey, they took on three Arab handlers, sailed back to Texas and began training People living near Camp Verde, Texas admired the camels; a woman sent President Franklin Pierce a pair of socks knitted "from the pile of one of our camels".
When the westward expeditions started in 1856, the officers reported their camels superior to horse and mule trains. Another 41 camels were added to the corps in 1857. P. Gilmer Breckinridge of Virginia, in charge of 25 camels, inscribed his name as a caravan passed El Morro that year.
"The camels are coming", read a newspaper headline when these exotic beasts pulled an express wagon into Los Angeles in December 1857. "Their approach made quite a stir among the native population, most of whom had never seen the like." The article told how camels could pull a load over a mountain where mules balked, ate cactus, and could "live well where domestic animals would die".
Camp Verde fell into Confederate hands at the beginning of the Civil War, ending the camel corps. Most of the animals were sold at auction, and some ended up in zoos, and circuses. Some simply escaped; as late as the early 1900s sightings of feral camels might still be reported from Mexico to Arkansas.

Athena: Barn Owl
Athena was found in the Sutter Buttes near Yuba City, California, in June 2006. She was found at the nest site as a hatchling, suffering a right wing injury. In August, she was transferred to CRC. She is non-releasable both because of her wing injury and because she was imprinted on people. This means that Athena identifies with humans—she simply doesn't know that she's a Barn Owl or even, perhaps, that she's a bird. She is therefore not afraid of people and will boldly approach them for food. This can be dangerous not only for the bird but for people as well. Like all raptors, barn owls have very sharp talons and beaks.
For many years, Athena was a very popular Education bird for CRC, appearing in both on-site and off-site presentations. However, in 2012 she injured a tendon in her leg; and although she recovered she can no longer work with a handler because she could easily reinjure herself. She lives in an enclosure in a quiet corner of CRC where she will not be disturbed. Every year she lays two to four eggs and, while they are not fertile, she seems to enjoy playing "mom" for a few weeks.
Barn owls in the wild raise as many as 15 to 17 young a year, each capable of eating more than a thousand rodents! We encourage farmers and ranchers to set up nesting boxes for these birds, to control rodents with out poisons.Adopt This Bird!

Preserving A Farm's Beauty in North Carolina's Big Sandy Mush
A flat grassy patch atop the sloped wooded pasture on his western North Carolina farm affords Dave Everett sumptuous views of the Big Sandy Mush Valley and several 4,500-foot-plus peaks beyond. Fooled by Dave's presence in the pasture in the early afternoon, a handful of cows begin bellowing, anticipating a meal.
Dave and his wife, Kim, tend to their farm and their 30-head of cattle with the help of their Massey Ferguson 1540 with 4WD, which allows them to manage the steep inclines of their hilly pastureland with ease.
In addition to farming, the Everetts have helped restore and preserve the fields, woods and streams that spread out below their pastures. "We said that we want this farm to be recognizable to folks who lived here 100 years before us," Dave says.
In the bucolic Sandy Mush area, such preservation efforts are not as easy as they may sound. The region—actually two valleys with several coves in each—is within 15 miles of the bustling mountain tourist mecca of Asheville. Nearby mountains and valleys are prime targets for vacation and second home developments consisting of 3,500-square-foot "cabins." Kim and Dave themselves first used the area as a getaway when living near Washington, D.C.
Simply put, the value of the land in the area is worth a lot more for development than it is for farming or open space.
From The Land Up
Tommy Porter chokes up when he talks about the land. As he tops a hill, he leans on a young oak tree. Eyes misting. Cheeks flushing. Spring green hay fields and cattle pastures roll out behind him.
Porter owns these 600 acres and another 308 down the road. He raises beef cattle, poultry and hogs, but he subscribes to the belief that he's a borrower, a steward.
"The bank and I may hold this property, but we're here for a short time," he says.
"To be able to tend to part of God's creation, that means something to me."
Just 30 miles to the southwest sits the glass-and-steel, corporate skyline of Charlotte. It's North Carolina's largest, most metropolitan city. Here on the outskirts of the town of Concord, however, Porter has carved out his peace.
By the late 1970s, he and his wife Vicki were ready to chase the dream and started their cattle herd with five cows. In the mid-1980s, they bought 200 acres of corn and soybeans, and converted them to pasture.
In 30-plus years, they have grown the herd to 350 Hereford-Angus cows and calves. Along the way, Porter invested in the chicken business, expanding that operation to 68,000 broiler pullets and 30,000 broiler egg layers for Tyson Foods. The third leg of the livestock operation includes 2,200 large, white sows that breed between 102 and 105 pigs per week for Murphy-Brown.
Porter's family has been a large part of his farm's success. Growing up, his sons, Derek and Jared, and his daughter, Erin, performed daily chores and remained interested in the farm. Even though they've all got other full-time careers these days, Derek, a firefighter, still works the farm on his days off. And Jared's wife, Colleen, now manages the layer houses.
"Tommy started with a dream," says Chip Blalock, executive director of Sunbelt Ag Expo. "He didn't inherit anything. He did it all the old fashioned way from scratch." Judges considered the scope of Porter's success a major factor when naming him the 2011 Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year.
Part of Porter's award as Farmer of the Year included the year-long use of any Massey Ferguson tractor serviced by Statesville Ag and Turf. He says he selected the MF5465 for its size. The 100 pto horsepower is the perfect fit for spreading fertilizer on his hay fields, then cutting and baling it when the time is right.
"It's nice and roomy," says Tommy, which is no surprise considering it has one of the largest cabs in its class. And the 61 square feet of glass translates to an immense amount of visibility. Another feature they really love is that the cab has its own suspension. "It makes a big difference when you spend 8 or 10 hours riding in something that's comfortable," says Tommy.
With one hand, they can move smoothly through the gears of the clutchless Dyna 4, 16-speed transmission. And because the environment, and quite frankly the economy, are so important to the Porters, the AGCO Power engine, with exceptional fuel economy and low emissions, makes a great deal of sense.
Because in the past there were no large Massey Ferguson dealers near the Porters, their farm has used John Deere equipment. But this honeymoon period with the MF5465 has made a believer of Derek, who uses it the most.
"Every time he uses it," says Tommy, "he makes a point to say, 'I really like that tractor. I like it better than the John Deere.'"

Massey Ferguson Across America – MF 6400 – Tobacco in North Carolina
This summer, the Massey Ferguson high-horsepower team hit the road for a tour across America interviewing different farmers who own Massey Ferguson. We wanted to hear feedback from the customers about our tractors and what we are selling them.
On our Massey Ferguson Across America tour, we visited Joel Pace in Archer Lodge, North Carolina. Joel is an owner and operator of a Massey Ferguson 6400 who grows tobacco and soybeans. He said the best thing about being a farmer is being his own boss and seeing just how good he can grow a crop. Without the help of his Massey Ferguson tractor, Joel says this would not be possible. "This tractor gets the job done from planting, to cultivating, to harvesting; we use it from start to finish."
Watch the video below and see what Joel thinks about his Massey Ferguson tractor and how it helps him get the job done in the field.
Make sure to visit the Massey Ferguson row crop tractor configuration tool. How does your Massey Ferguson help you get the job done?

The long-term goal of Project 3 is to define mechanisms that cause endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) to dysfunction and generate (in addition to NO) reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (oxidants) that cause oxidative damage in inflammatory diseases. We hypothesize that two unique aspects of eNOS are critical for its proper function and also predispose eNOS to be susceptible to dysfunction leading to oxidative damage: 1) eNOS redox cycling of its cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B);and 2) eNOS protein-protein interactions. Mechanisms that control these aspects are unclear and are the focus of this proposal. We will determine mechanisms at a molecular, kinetic, and structural level and ultimately translate them to cellular and clinical studies.
AIM 1 will test if inefficient H4B redox cycling occurs in eNOS and predisposes it to uncoupled NO synthesis and oxidant formation. We will: (i) Quantify H4B redox cycling in eNOS and develop a kinetic model to explain oxidant formation, (ii) Test eNOS mutants for improved H4B redox cycling and less oxidant formation, and (iii) Measure metabolic indices associated with enhanced eNOS uncoupling to determine if they are linked with increased systemic indices of nitrative stress and prevalence for cardiovascular disease in humans.
AIM 2 will investigate how eNOS function is controlled by interactions with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). We will: (i) Test the hypothesis that HSP90 improves eNOS function by affecting specific catalytic steps in eNOS. (ii) Utilize fluorescence labeling, mass spectrometry, calorimetry, and protein crystallography to investigate HSP90 and Cav1 binding to eNOS, conformational changes that accompany binding, and mechanism for their effects on eNOS. (iii) Design site-specific mutants of eNOS with modified responses to Cavl and HSP90 and test their function, (iv) Determine mechanisms that enable phosphorylation and activation of eNOS when bound in a trimeric complex with HSP90 and the kinase Akt1. and (v) Investigate if a single nucleotide polymorphism in eNOS (Asp298Glu) associated with increased cardiovascular risk impacts HSP90 interactions with eNOS. Collectively, the proposed studies will provide a deep mechanistic understanding of factors regulating eNOS fucntion and dysfunction in cardiovascular disease.
By clarifying the mechanisms that control Nitric oxide production at the protein and enzyme level, our work may help to develop treatments for cardiovascular diseases that involve making too much or too little NO.

El Valle de Anton y arboles cuadrados
in english it's the square trees on Anton valley.. but really they should call it "the somewhat square trees of a small grove in Anton valley". it's an interesting place but I would definitely shoot for a more honest title. it's actually located behind Hotel Campestre and they charge a few bucks to see it.. its a short five minute walk through some jungle overgrowth.
Isla Iguana
One of the lesser known places in Panama. Clear waters, white sand and yes, iguanas, as well as a healthy population of hermit crabs. Isla Iguana turned out to be quite a day trip. $30 and 20 minutes gets you there on boat from the closest beach. the rest is pretty simple, spend the day there chasing the local wildlife around; fish, crabs and iguanas. they all seem friendly (and almost catchable). its a small isla, only two beaches within a 5 minute walk from each other. lots of beautiful views and lots to see underwater too. the only thing missing was a hammock.
It's a bright sun and the limitation of my cell phone camera are evident. out of the several dozen photos I took, only a handful didn't look washed out and over-exposed. but I still got some great views.
As it's namesake implies, its the home of numerous iguanas, but also the home of thousands of hermit crabs. the beach is filled with them. Video captures it best.
Fort San Lorenzo
In fear of an impending attack by sea? …There's a place for that.
built in the later half of the 16th century to protect the mouth of the Chagres river. Fort San Lorenzo still stands as one of the coolest places to visit in Panama. The fort comes complete with cannons and strategic oceanfront views, lots of walls and nooks provide great spaces for hide and seek and if you go in the off season, you get the place all to yourself.
Panama Viejo
Piano Restoration and conversion
The Eastern Sierras
The Eastern Sierra, although beautiful, is much more desert-like then what you see in California's Central Valley and Highway 395 is the best route to see it, also the only route. I started in Minden Nevada and traveled south all the way to highway 178 which leads back into the Central Valley.
at about 5 hours from Minden to Bakersfield, highway 395 is the perfect one day road trip through California's less populated east side. there are long stretches of open spaces to the east and one long mountain range to the west with plenty of photo opportunities along the way, including some nice views of mono lake, open plains, Isabella Lake, the Sierras (of course) and several small towns. View some of the highlights below.
Iquitos and the Amazon
The Gateway to the Amazon
The Amazon is huge and there are many stops along the rivers edge for people to take in the views and local wildlife. I typically avoid the touristy stuff but this was actually pretty interesting. lots of animals, birds, monkeys, fish, etc. and of course some beautiful views of the Amazon. I spent two days exploring the place and each place I visited was different. 2 stops were all about the animals, especially the monkeys, which were a lot of fun. also got to see some giant fish, Paiche, they call them.
Just finished the cover and promo art for Appleday. the forthcoming single from musical masterminds Jason Marion and Bradley Clark. although this is a departure from the artwork I did for Prodigal, the apple as the central theme in the image is about as direct as you can get in graphic design, and about as deep as the story behind the name itself, but that's another story altogether. The aim was something light and colorful and I think we've achieved just that. you can already see the art in action and also check out Jason and Brad on iTunes and at CRW.
I had a lot of fun working on this piece and working with the guys to find something that fits the song. something lighthearted and brightly colored.. that being said, just like all graphic design work, it went through many iterations before the finding the right look. at the upper left is the official cover art. To the right, an early concept showcasing some text formatting and placement ideas. and below you'll find some promotional Facebook cover art for the official Facebook page, you can see it in action here. as well as the official Jason Marion website.

Nikon Coolpix L810 review
Nikon Coolpix L810 review :
When you think of a budget camera, you often think of a cheap camera with basic functionality. The Nikon Coolpix L810, however, is quite different, as this 16 megapixel camera is at the top of Nikon's L-series, with a Nikkor lens and 26x optical zoom. Additionally, the Nikon Coolpix L810 is equipped with VR-vibration reduction with lens-shift to counteract the effects of camera shake. Despite these advanced camera functions, it is still a budget camera, mostly due to its extremely user-friendly character. In the automatic setting, all camera settings are regulated automatically. We tested the Nikon Coolpix L810 for some time in practice.
Nikon Coolpix L810 review
The L-Series digital compact cameras include all of Nikon's budget cameras. The Nikon Coolpix L810 is the Nikon L-Series (Life Series) flagship camera. Thanks to its many automatic functions, this camera series is very easy to use, even for beginner photographers. Moreover, the Coolpix L-series has a friendly price tag. The entry-level model, the 10 megapixel Coolpix L23 is available for only €60 / £55 / $80. For the flagship, the Nikon Coolpix L810, you have to pay a little bit more. This camera currently goes for almost €200 / £180 / $240. All of the Nikon Coolpix L-series cameras use AA-batteries. This is not my first choice, but the batteries do last a long time. Another advantage is that the AA-batteries are available everywhere.
Review Nikon Coolpix L810
The Nikon Coolpix L810 is eye-catching, with its shiny body. The Nikon Coolpix L810 has a 16-megapixel CCD sensor and an Expeed C2 image processor for good processing of photos and 720p HD videos. The well-known Nikkor lens with 26x optical zoom offers a wide-angle range of 22.5mm to 585 mm supertele. The ISO sensitivity range of the Nikon Coolpix L810 goes up to ISO 1600, so that you can still shoot decent photos in low light. A handy extra is the zoom button on the side. When using this button, you can keep a solid hold on the camera, diminishing the chance of camera shake. Photos and videos made with the Nikon Coolpix L810 can be easily viewed on the clear 7.5cm LCD display.
Nikon Coolpix L810 functions
The Nikon Coolpix L810 has many automatic photo functions, which makes taking good photos even easier. For example, think of the smile timer, which only lets a photo be taken when the selected person is smiling. Red eys, caused by the flash, are also corrected automatically. Blink detection warns when someone has their eyes closed. The Nikon L810 even has a function to soften the skin tone. Additionally, the Nikon Coolpix L810 is equipped with a Best Shot Selector (BSS), in order to choose the sharpest shot out of ten consecutive shots.
Nikon Coolpix L810 image quality
Concerning the image quality, the Nikon Coolpix L810 makes neat photos, especially when the lighting circumstances are optimal. The camera is affected by lens vignetting, or edge blur. In the middle, the photos look detailed and sharp; the edges are a bit softer and show some distortion. The color representation is good, as is the white balance. In terms of ISO, I would advise avoiding ISO 800 and ISO 1600. With the higher ISO values, the colors are still good, but the amount of noise increases significantly and there is certainly a loss of detail. In short, we are satisfied with the image quality. What is noticeable while taking photos is that the camera is fairly slow. After shooting a photo, the Nikon Coolpix L810 takes its time to process, so that you cannot take a second photo very quickly after that.
Nikon Coolpix L810 review conclusion
The Nikon Coolpix L810 is a surprising camera with advanced functions such as a Nikkor lens with 26x zoom. Nevertheless, the Coolpix L810 is part of Nikon's budget L-series, which is mostly noticeable in the use of AA-batteries, the camera's speed and edge blur that shows up in photos. The Nikon Coolpix L810 is especially easy to use and has a string of automatic functions. The Nikon Coolpix L810 is an interesting digital camera when you have a limited budget. If you are looking for a camera with a comparable zoom range, but with a bit more advanced functions, have a look at the bigger brother, the

IT WAS THE PRINCIPLE UPON WHICH clubs flourished three or four decades ago. A bedrock for success and a philosophy espoused by the high and mighty and the humble fan in the street; from Sir Alf Ramsey, the England manager who coined the phrase, to Alf Garnett, his most fervent supporter on the Upton Park terraces.

Like so many simplistic tactics, it has been lost amid the maelstrom of chunky squads and

Local advocates for the needy have warned for years about "food deserts" in poor communities that make it difficult for some residents to find affordable fruits and vegetables. Now, there's a dose of good news: A new study says San Diego-area low-income residents got a big boost from a government program designed to encourage healthy eating and support farmers markets in poor neighborhoods like City Heights.
Thousands of local residents who get government assistance enrolled in the program and received vouchers to buy nutritious foods like produce, meat, bread and eggs at farmers markets. The participants spent about $330,000 from 2010-2011, or about $93 per person.
There are some caveats. No one knows whether any area residents actually became healthier as a result of the program, which has dwindled from its high point of serving several communities because of funding woes. And participants are only allowed to spend the extra money at farmers markets. They can't use it to buy food at supermarkets, chain stores like Target or Costco or corner shops.
Still, the incentive program was "definitely a success," said Blanca Melendrez, who oversees obesity prevention programs sponsored by UCSD and helped establish the farmers market in the City Heights neighborhood in 2008.

My understanding is that when a horse "gravels?", there is a rock in its foot that travels up through the wall or another part of the hoof, and pops out of the cornet. the other option it had is forming an abscess, right? i had a pony gravel and it popped at the top of his heel, and amazingly he was sound through the whole thing.
I'm just trying to get some clarification on this. Annie turned up lame on the Opposite foot than the tendon issue, and upon examination, we fond some heat and a small bump in the upper hoof and cornet. shes super tender on it and theres nothing else apparently wrong. no heat or swelling anywhere else, (shes been on complete stall rest anyway.) so far its bute and antibiotics until it bursts, drains, and shes sound on it again.
if anybody has anything else they think i can do?
288 Attachment(s)
hi, this would be better in the hoofcare sect. the old idea was that hoof abscesses were due to gravel or other external whatever penetrating the hoof capsule, hence the term 'gravel'. but while (when the hoof integrity is already compromised) gravel can get into separated laminae, and occasionally puncture wounds can be a cause of hoof abscess, generally the causes are bruising, constriction which leads to necrotic areas, infection in separated laminae(seedy/white line disease), or mechanical problems such as overlong wallsa putting stress on tissue...

heel abscesses often occur without owners noticing obvious lameness. i thing this is because the horn of the frog is yielding, so less pressure hence less pain. i would not generally give bute or antibiotics for an abscess. they can both just suppress the infection and prevent the body expelling the necrotic tissue. i would ensure the horse is kept turned out for free movement - but dont try to force a sore horse to exercise - and soak the foot in a warm saline or epsom salts wash a couple of times daily if feet are dry, to soften the horn, draw infection and reduce further infection. Then I'd be looking to address the cause. as above, can be due to a bruise or puncture wound which may be a 'one off' but they frequently come about as a symptom of unhealthy feet.

unfortunately she cnt be turned out because shes on stall rest for a tendon injury on her other front leg. shes a mess right now....
