Queen Elizabeth leaves hospital after stomach bug
LONDON - Queen Elizabeth II left the London hospital where she'd been treated for the symptoms of a stomach infection Monday, following a brief and rare hospitalization for the 86-year-old head of state. A smiling Elizabeth walked unassisted out of King Edward VII Hospital Monday afternoon before saying goodbye to staff. She was then driven away in a motorcade. �The queen has left the King Edward VII's Hospital having been admitted briefly as part of the assessment of symptoms of gastroenteritis,� the palace said in a brief statement issued after her release.Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the stomach and/or the intestine, generally caused either by food poisoning or the norovirus, a common winter vomiting bug that affects several hundred thousand Britons every year. The queen has canceled engagements for this week due to the illness. Norovirus infections are only very rarely dangerous, and doctors who weren't involved with Elizabeth's treatment believe she may have been hospitalized as a precaution. It was the monarch's first hospitalization in 10 years, but it set off few alarm bells in Britain, where she is seen as being in excellent health. Although not as physically active as she used to be � having reluctantly given up horse riding, one of her favorite hobbies, and cut down on taxing overseas trips � the queen still maintains a demanding schedule. Unofficial court figures indicate she carried out roughly 400 official engagements in 2012 � ranging from weekly one-on-one meetings with the prime minister to gatherings of 100 or more people. There were no concerned crowds of wellwishers gathered outside the hospital Monday � only news media keeping an eye out for royal visitors coming to pay their respects.

Think supply and demand. There are more NBA games this season, so prices are down. That's what TiqIQ, which tracks prices of tickets sold on the secondary market, has found.
Last year's NBA lockout shortened the 2011-2012 season, increasing the demand — and prices — for available tickets. This year, things are back to normal, but that's not the full story, as you will see.
"NBA ticket prices are down 7.8% from this same point before the beginning of last season," said Chris Matcovich, TiqIQ's senior director of data and communications. "The major reason for that is the 82-game schedule that will be played this season, instead of the lockout-shortened 66-game season in 2011-2012."
Matcovich's data bears this out. The average NBA ticket this year costs $123.53, versus $133.99 in 2011. All fine and good, but it shouldn't be taken as a sign that tickets have reached bargain-basement prices across the board. Fans want to see certain matchups very badly, and in some of these cases this has driven up prices for those games by 400 percent or more.
Using data from TiqIQ, CNBC.com presents the 10 highest-priced NBA games of the 2012-2013 season. The prices do not represent the face value of the ticket, but rather their cost through resources like Craigslist, eBay, StubHub and TicketNetwork. These prices are aggregated by TiqIQ, whose rankings appear here and are as of Oct. 26.
Read ahead to see the 10 most expensive NBA tickets of the 2012-2013 season, according to TiqIQ.

The International Law Students Association, in conjunction with ASIL, is currently soliciting nominations for the Deak Award for the 2008 calendar year. The Deak Award is a prize provided by Oxford University Press for the best international-law student article in a student-edited law journal. The award honors Francis Deak, a WWII veteran who wrote extensively on international law. The award is the student equivalent of the prize for the best article in the American Journal of International Law. Students, professors, practitioners or other persons in the legal community may nominate students for the Deak Award. A student may even nominate his own article. Per award rules, the nominee must have been a student at the time the article was written, and the article must have been published in a student-edited journal during the award year (2008). All nominations satisfying these criteria will be considered by the awards committee, who will read each article and choose the winning submission. The winner of the 2008 award will be announced at the 2009 ASIL Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., in March.
All nominations ( include students name, school, graduation year, article, and article citation) must be sent to Jill Schmieder Hereau at email@example.com by February 9, 2009. Any questions about the award may also be directed to this email address.

UK Politicians Want To Regulate Google... Because It's Good At What It Does
from the searching-for-a-clue dept
Why? Well, as far as I can tell, the argument is that Google is good at what it does, and people like it, so thus it must be punished. I really wish there were more to it than that, but that really does seem to be the heart of it: let's regulate Google because we're jealous that it's successful.
The debate apparently was kicked off by MP Dominic Raab, repeating the old story about Foundem, whose only purpose in life seemed to be to bitch about Google. Foundem, of course, was a tiny search engine that no one heard of that offered little value, and was exactly the kind of website that people hate getting pointed to in search results, because it feels spammy. Google -- quite reasonably -- buried Foundem's results. It wasn't -- as Foundem's execs and Raab now claim -- because Google was "scared" of this competitor and was shutting it out of the market, but because Foundem sucked and people didn't like it.
Yet Raab uses this example of Google better serving its customers, as an excuse to regulate the company:
Mr Raab said that the effect was to suppress Foundem in Google search results. Mr Raab pointed out that the alleged treatment of Foundem would be sufficient to bury and kill off many businesses. He accused Google of deliberately "stacking the deck" against small competitors and called for government policy to address what he called 'search engine transparency'.First of all, search engines are less and less the gateway to the rest of the internet in an age of social media. Even if Google dominates in search traffic, more and more people are finding out about other sites online from their friends via social media. Second, and more importantly, nowhere does Raab explain why what Google did was bad. He just assumes that it must be bad. However, if Google is suppressing bad results that users don't want, isn't that a good thing? Serving customers better is a good thing, and if Foundem's having trouble getting users, the fault is clearly with Foundem, not Google. And it's pretty weak for politicians to be looking to prop up a failed company, just because another company is good at what it does.
Mr Raab accused the regulators, Ofcom and the Office of Fair Trading, of complacency. He called on them to take action against companies abusing dominance. "Search engines are the gateways to the Internet, and with a 95% share, Google is in a dominant position"
"If Google does not allow consumers to access potential competitors via its search engine gateway, they will be choked out of the market-place" he said.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Men's Basketball (11-8, 6-5 SLIAC) eked passed Fontbonne Wednesday night by the slimmest of margins, as the Panthers used a string of key offensive rebounds and clutch free throws to seal the contest.
Seniors KJ Hilliard and Markeith Brown led the Black & Orange in St. Louis, dropping in team highs in both points and rebounds. Hilliard paced the Panthers with a game-high 25 points and five boards and teammate Brown posted a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
The contest proved to be a closely contested battle throughout, with the decisive moments taking place in the final seconds. Leading by four with under a minute to play, a made free-throw and a quick bucket from Fontbonne shaved the margin to only one with seven seconds left in regulation. Inbounding the ball, Greenville utilized a flurry of quick passes and overhead lobs to run out the remainder of the second half, avoiding "would-be" Griffin foulers and sealing the 79-78 victory.
Greenville shot 77 percent from the stripe in Wednesday's conference bout, knocking in 24-31 from the foul line. Rebounding also played a pivotal role in the road victory as the squad outworked the Griffins on the glass 38-29.
"We definitely stole this game on the road," comments second year assistant coach and former GC guard Stephen Groves. "Fontbonne shot nearly 60 percent from the floor and over 50 percent from three, but we simply outhustled and outworked them in the second half to seal the win."
With the win GC men's basketball moves back over the .500 mark in SLIAC play and will attempt to build on an 8-3 mark since the start of 2012 this weekend. The Panthers welcome conference opponent Westminster to HJ Long Gymnasium on Saturday, February 4 at 3:00 pm.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Last week, ten members of the MIT men's swimming and diving team traveled to the University of Minnesota for the 2010 NCAA Division III Championships hosted by Beloit College and the College of Wooster.
After four days of competition, MIT's men ended 8th of 61 scoring teams, logging the second-best finish in program history, topped only by the team's seventh-place showing in 1982.
Luke Cummings was a standout performer for MIT's men, scoring more than a quarter of the team's points. In the 50 Free preliminary (20.59), the senior narrowly slid into the championship heat, qualifying .02 second ahead of the cutoff. In the final, he improved his time to 20.37, setting a new Institute record and finishing 4th in the event.
In his other individual event, Cummings swam a 45.60 in the prelims of the 100 Free, advancing him to the consolation final, but a false-start in his second swim disqualified him from scoring.
Tech's four All-American relays accounted for nearly three quarters of the team points and propelled the Cardinal and Gray toward the top of the scoreboard. In the 200 Medley Relay, Cummings teamed with freshman Wyatt Ubellacker and fellow seniors Rastislav Racz and Jeff Zhou to finish 3rd in the championship final (1:29.92), becoming MIT's first team to break the 90-second barrier.
Cummings, Zhou and Ubellacker swam with sophomore Brett Boval in the 200 Free Relay, taking 4th place with a time of 1:22.23. Freshman Brendan Deveney sided with Cummings, Zhou and Ubellacker for the 400 Free Relay which took 6th place in 3:03.19.
The 400 Medley Relay featured Cummings, Racz, junior Toomas Sepp and freshman Ron Rosenberg, who swam to a 5th-place finish (3:20.49) to snatch yet another All-American award and team record for the Engineers.
Other MIT-record times included Deveney's performances in the preliminaries of the 200 IM (1:52.57) and 400 IM (4:00.41) as well as Sepp's marks in the prelims of the 100 Fly (49.95) and 200 Fly (1:52.95).
Racz, a five-time All-American in individual events struggled in the 100 and 200 Breast, taking only 12th in both events.
Tech's other national qualifier, sophomore Tim Stumbaugh, finished 18th in the 200 Back (1:51.24), edging out Deveney in 19th (1:51.30) and Rosenberg in 20th (1:51.37).
With 163 points, MIT's 8th-place finish improves upon its showing of 9th last year.
Entering next season, the Engineers are losing three of this year's national qualifiers. Racz, a ten-time All-American, retires with five MIT records; Cummings ends his career as an eight-time All-American, currently holding seven Institute records; and Zhou departs with six All-American honors and four MIT-bests.

paulg_tt necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 174 diseños de 61 diseñadores freelance.
Need a quirky nerdy geeky techie logo for our new tech support and services company "totallytechy". We service individuals, office bods and retail guys so whilst it is quirky, it needs to portray a little of our professional side. Logo must be centrally balanced.
The logos are coming out a little too corporate for us so we have thought of a couple of words to help you on your way... Dilbert, Nerdy Glasses, Techie shirts & tie. (these are 'literal' ideas, e.g. a techie shirt/tie would be quite cool).
Guaranteed Winner:
I am guaranteeing a winner for this - I missed the option when adding the contest and am waiting on 99 to see if its possible to change it properly. If they cant do it, then you'll just have to take my word for it :).
We need a new logo for our new tech support/services business with a home call service (think geek squad or nerd herd if you watch telly) but also will sell computer gear on our site and offer services like adsl, voip, website design etc.
The logo needs to be memorable and unique (we hope to get a trademark) and can include the words totallytechy, but must also be supplied on its own as an icon for use in small spaces etc so no logos made out of the actual words. We have a couple of specific areas of business; home, office, retail, education. If possible, the icon part of the logo could have a splash of colour that could be changed for each area of business.
It should look good on both black and white backgrounds and be translucent. If not possible, then two variants are fine. We want it to be centralised so no left or right alignment as we may move the logo around the site etc and need it to look good in all locations.
I will try to log in once a day to give ideas and rate. I have a new baby so please don't expect me to do it by clock work though!
Final item to be supplied in vector formats (ai & eps). Please also supply a png/gif. The more formats the better.
good luck,
- quirky, geeky, nerdy, techie
- vector or if not possible, supplied with a very high resolution option (for poster size prints etc.)
- unusual & unique
- splash of colour
- recognisable
- just words
- spanners/mechanic/first aid type icons
- nerdherd/geek squad rip off (although the nerdherd balanced layout is quite nice).
- script/old fashioned etc
- not 3d/bevels etc unless amazing ;)

A winner was selected from 116 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
The Meeting Point
We are about to open an upmarket, fun and cozy Taiwanese restaurant/café in the heart of the city.
We are much more than a Restaurant!!! Our concept is to create a place for young people to meet and hang out while enjoying our great quality food and drinks. We will also provide regular live entertainment and networking functions for young people to meet and play.
The restaurant is within a heritage building with contemporary fitout. The new fitout complements the existing heritage building and is evident to all patrons who enter the restaurant.
We will be serving Taiwanese food, snacks, bubble tea drinks and desserts.
The crowd will be mainly students and young business people that work in the city.
We are looking for a logo represent our brand and business concept "The Meeting Point".
The logo should convey the idea that the establishment is a quality restaurant and not a simple eatery or a take away shop.
The logo should give patrons the idea that it is a fun place to stay and hang out. An example of this could be a simple line drawing or a fun graphic incorporated to demonstrate this.
The design should be simple, effective and without too much unnecessary graphic.
We would like to see lettering to be more free-flowing rather than digitalized text with hard edges.
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
We are open to any ideas but like to have the Chinese Characters 甲乙丙丁 incorporated into the design.
The files we will require are:
* Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
* Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Even with standouts Bryce Harper and Gio Gonzalez on the disabled list, the Washington Nationals are shutting down the team with the best record in baseball and taking over the title as the league's hottest club.
Jayson Werth hit his first homer in almost a month and drove in three runs, and the Nationals capitalized on Matt Cain's erratic start to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-2 Wednesday night for their fourth straight win.
''We kind of got Cain on the ropes early, got his pitch count up, got some big hits early to kind of set the tone for the game,'' Werth said. ''It's hard to recover from.''
Cain (1-4) walked the first three batters he faced before Adam LaRoche's two-run single during a three-run first inning. Werth's solo shot in the fifth and two-run single in the ninth provided the rest of the pop for the Nationals, who have won 10 of 12, including the last three at San Francisco.
Former third baseman Ryan Zimmerman made a pair of diving catches in left field to highlight a stellar defensive effort, and Tanner Roark (5-4) allowed two runs and seven hits in six-plus innings to propel Washington to another win.
''We're playing great as a team right row,'' said Roark, who struck out four and walked none. ''Just keep it going. It's exciting.''
Brandon Crawford and Pablo Sandoval each drove in a run for the Giants, who have lost a season-high tying three straight after winning five in a row.
Cain's struggles might have been the most disappointing thing of all for the Giants.
In his second start since a stint on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring, the former ace reverted back to his early season woes against Washington. Cain gave up four runs and three hits in five innings, walking five and striking out four.
''It was too much of a deficit to come back from. We needed a better start than that. I wanted some clean innings. I made it too difficult,'' Cain said.
The finale of the four-game series is Thursday, but the NL East-leading Nationals already have handed San Francisco its first series loss since losing two of three at Pittsburgh from May 5-7. Before the Nationals showed up in San Francisco this week, the Giants had not lost two in a row since May 16-17 to the Marlins.
The Nationals are doing it by getting contributions at the plate, on the mound and in the field.
After Crawford's RBI triple in the fourth, second baseman Danny Espinosa made a diving stop on Gregor Blanco's sharp grounder and threw out the speedy runner at first. Zimmerman, filling in for Harper in left, also swiped another run from San Francisco in the sixth when he made a diving catch of Crawford's slicing fly after Michael Morse doubled.
''I'm kind of learning on the fly,'' Zimmerman said. ''Got a good break on it. It kept tailing away. I dove and caught it. The landing wasn't very smooth, but in the end, I caught the ball.''
Sandoval, scratched from the starting lineup because of an illness, singled home a run as a pinch-hitter in the seventh to whittle Washington's lead to 4-2. Zimmerman slid in to snag Angel Pagan's short fly for the third out.
With his back right leg almost touching the dirt, Werth went low to launch his sixth homer of the season to put the Nationals up 4-1 in the fifth. Werth, who had not homered since May 14 at Arizona, singled with two outs in the ninth off Yusmeiro Petit to extend Washington's lead to 6-2.
Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard and Jerry Blevins each tossed a scoreless inning to help Washington finish off San Francisco again. Closer Rafael Soriano had been warming up in the bullpen before Werth's single.
''The best part about that is we could put the big scary guy back in his cage,'' Werth said, ''and save him for (Thursday).''
NOTES: The Nationals placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring and called up catcher Sandy Leon from Triple-A Syracuse. ... The Giants traded left-hander David Huff back to the Yankees for cash. He was sent to San Francisco in January for cash after the Yankees signed Masahiro Tanaka. ... Tim Hudson (6-2, 1.97 ERA) takes the mound for the Giants opposite Washington's Blake Treinen (0-2, 1.78 ERA) in Thursday's series finale.

Nielsen's single was game-winning blow.
Senior Hayden Nielsen's single drove in sophomore Collin Nash with the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Rolla High School baseball team a 5-4, come-from-behind victory over St. Clair in non-conference action Wednesday on FCNB Field at the Bray Sports Complex.
Rolla improves to 11-12 and was scheduled to end its regular season yesterday with a non-league home varsity-only game against Salem. Fourth-seeded Rolla is scheduled to play fifth-seeded Waynesville at noon on Saturday in the first round of the Missouri Class 5 District 10 Tournament on FCNB Field.
St. Clair fell to 7-16. The two teams have been trying to get the game in since it was first rained out on March 28.
St. Clair bolted to a 4-0 lead over Rolla by scoring three runs in the top of the third inning and one in the fifth.
Rolla trimmed its deficit with three runs in the sixth, highlighted by a two-run single from sophomore Jake Stephens.
The host RHS Bulldogs then won it with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Junior Seth Stevens opened the rally with a hit. Sophomore Landon Maynard, pinch-running for Stevens, stole second base and then scored the tying run on an error by the St. Clair shortstop off a ball hit by Nash.
Nash stole second base and scored the game-winner on Nielsen's RBI single.
Nielsen and Stevens each had two hits to highlight the RHS offense.
Junior right-hander Tristin Brown went the distance on the mound for Rolla to gain the victory, allowing just one earned run. All three St. Clair runs in the third frame were unearned.
Rolla won the junior varsity game 4-3. Sophomore Weston Davis was the winning pitcher for the RHS jayvee squad, which ended its season on Wednesday.

Spitting Gum Leads to One Game Suspension
The NBA Development League came down hard on forward Henry Walker for his actions on Sunday against Maine.
The League suspended Henry Walker of the Sioux Falls Skyforce for one game without pay for spitting his gum towards an opposing player. The incident occurred with 4:12 remaining in the first period of the March 30 game against the Maine Red Claws.
As so often happens with the final act, there were extracurricular activities leading up to the emotional overflow. The first exchange occurred with about 8:20 left in the first period. Damen Bell-Holter was posting up on the left side of the paint with Walker guarding. Bell-Holter did not get an entry pass and shed Walker's defense with an elbow to Walker's chest. Maine's Frank Gaines made a shot to end the possession and immediately, Walker delivered a shoulder blow to Bell-Holter's chest in response.
Walker vs. Bell-Holter round 2 occurred with 6:15 left in the first period as Bell-Holter posted up on the right side of the lane. Facing Walker, Bell-Holter drove into the lane and led with the shoulder into Walker's chest and was called for an offensive foul. Simultaneously, Walker was trying to poke the ball free as Bell-Holter was bringing the ball up for a shot. Bell-Holter hit Walker in the face with his left hand as the ball sprang free and the shooting motion continued. Walker had to take a little time to gather himself before returning to action.
On the next trip up the floor, Walker stalked toward Bell-Holter and basically walked through the Red Claws forward to disrupt the defensive stance. Walker then did the same to guard Tyshawn Taylor plus an extension of the forearm out on the perimeter. Walker drove the lane and missed a shot and was played straight up by forward Daniel Orton. Maine went the other way and as Gaines drove to the basket, Walker made contact with his arm to Gaines' head which was deemed flagrant with 5:49 to go in the opening quarter.
Walker's last action on the court was with 4:13 to play. Trailing a cutting Julian Mavunga through the lane, Walker brushed by Abdul Gaddy who was leaning in to screen Walker. Walker initiated contact by bringing his arm up high across the side of Gaddy's head and the official whistled the second flagrant foul. On the way to the locker room after the ejection, Walker then walked by the Red Claws bench and spit his gum out presumably in the direction of Bell-Holter thus prompting the NBADL to take action.
Walker will serve his suspension on Friday, April 4 when the team hosts the Texas Legends. Watch how the series of events unfolded in the adjoining clip.

revised 4-2013
Beginning May 1, 2013, the Campus Memos Policy will be changing. Because of the volume of Campus Memos that go out each day, some pertinent Campus Memos are getting overlooked/deleted.
In order to keep the Campus informed as well as dispersing campus information daily to faculty and staff, the Public Relations Office will be implementing a new feature – BPCC Daily. BPCC Daily – similar to the format of the LCTCS News email you currently are receiving – will contain upcoming events or information for faculty and staff but are not necessarily pertinent to the daily operations of the Campus. With the implementation of the BPCC Daily, Campus Memos will only be sent for information – i.e. Blackboard outage, LOLA issues, weather delays or closures, Admission/Financial Aid information.
Campus Memo subject line will contain the words Campus Memo followed by the AREA that the Memo pertains to and then a brief notice of what the memo is about.
The PR Office will strive to send the Campus Memo out in a very timely manner. However, if you do not see your message come through the system, please call the PR Office at 678-6031 to alert us.

Microsoft seems to have an itchy trigger finger on the Ban Hammer these days. It's a good thing I have failed to download those so far.
it seems unfair to ban someones account for down loading a map pack. it Msoft fault that they were able to download it in the first place for free..
They are ban from accessing the Map Packs, not the game.
They are treating them like a demo to the map pack.
They are not doing a total ban hammer, say if you stole something thru marketplace theft.

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are important predators in high latitudes, where their ecological impact is mediated through their movements. We used satellite telemetry to provide the first evidence of migration for killer whales, characterized by fast (more than 12 km h−1, 6.5 knots) and direct movements away from Antarctic waters by six of 12 type B killer whales tagged when foraging near the Antarctic Peninsula, including all tags transmitting for more than three weeks. Tags on five of these whales revealed consistent movements to subtropical waters (30–37° S) off Uruguay and Brazil, in surface water temperatures ranging from −1.9°C to 24.2°C; one 109 day track documented a non-stop round trip of almost 9400 km (5075 nmi) in just 42 days. Although whales travelled slower in the warmest waters, there was no obvious interruption in swim speed or direction to indicate calving or prolonged feeding. Furthermore, these movements were aseasonal, initiating over 80 days between February and April; one whale returned to within 40 km of the tagging site at the onset of the austral winter in June. We suggest that these movements may represent periodic maintenance migrations, with warmer waters allowing skin regeneration without the high cost of heat loss: a physiological constraint that may also affect other whales.
1. Introduction
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are important marine predators, especially in high latitudes, where energetic calculations suggest that their high caloric requirements could significantly impact slowly reproducing prey populations [1]. In Antarctic waters, where killer whales are particularly abundant [2], predation by them may be a major force structuring marine communities [3,4]. However, their ecological impact must be mediated by their movement and residency patterns, which are largely unknown in this region [5].
Although killer whales are known to range over thousands of kilometres [6,7], to date there is little direct evidence of seasonal or regular long-distance migrations anywhere, including Antarctica [8]. Here, we present movement data from type B killer whales, predators of ice seals and penguins [9,10], which were satellite-tagged in Antarctica. We document an unprecedented, rapid migration to subtropical latitudes and back. The evidence suggests that these movements were not for breeding or feeding purposes, and we hypothesize that they might be physiologically adaptive.
2. Material and methods
Satellite tags were deployed on type B [8] killer whales in two areas off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, during January 2009–February 2011: in Laubeuf Fjord, east of Adelaide Island, on whales that were feeding primarily on Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii [10]); and in the Gerlache Strait, east of Anvers Island, where they were observed to feed on pygoscelid penguins [9]. Visual searches were conducted from a motor-sailing yacht and expedition ship, and close approaches were made from a 4.0 m Zodiac launch to deploy 'dart' tags [5] with satellite transmitters (SPOT5 model, Wildlife Computers, Redmond, WA, USA; http://www.wildlifecomputers.com/). These small (49 g) tags were attached with two barbed titanium posts which penetrated 6.5 cm into the dorsal fin. Tags were deployed using a crossbow bolt fired at ranges from 5 to 15 m using a crossbow of 150 lb draw weight; the bolt fell away on contact with the whale, leaving only the tag attached. Tags were scheduled to transmit up to 600 times during four 3 h periods each day, and locations were calculated by the ARGOS satellite system using the method of least squares (CLS America, Largo, MD, USA; http://www.argos-system.org/).
Outliers from the estimated tag locations were removed using a filtering algorithm [11] with a maximum swim speed of 25 km h−1, and a continuous time correlated random walk model [12] was fitted to the remaining locations to estimate displacement velocities. Temporal trends in velocities for each tag were estimated by fitting a Bayesian regression model with unknown change-points ([13]; electronic supplementary material, S1), and these were then related to latitudinal changes over time. Track locations were spatially linked to sea surface temperature (SST) using the Intersect Point Tool of the Hawth's Tools extension (http://www.spatialecology.com/) for software ESRI ArcMap v. 9.3 (http://www.esri.com/), using a blended SST dataset derived from microwave and infrared sensors carried on multiple spacecraft platforms (http://coastwatch.pfel.noaa.gov/infog/BA_ssta_las.html/). SST data were available at a spatial resolution of approximately 11 km, and we used a 5 day window around the date of the lowest latitude location for each whale.
3. Results
Tags were deployed on 12 type B killer whales, including 10 adult females, one subadult male and one adult male (table 1), in groups of 4–70 (median = 14). A total of 11 261 locations were obtained over a combined 553 transmission days (mean duration = 46 days, range = 9–109). Two whales tagged in the same group (whales 6 and 7) remained together for a minimum of 98 days.
In coastal waters of the Antarctic Peninsula where the whales were observed hunting [9,10], movements were characterized by frequent changes in direction and relatively low net displacement (figure 2); velocities averaged between 3 and 4.7 km h−1 and SST ranged from −1.9°C to 2.9°C. Six of the 12 tags, comprising all that lasted more than three weeks, then indicated a marked change in whale behaviour with an abrupt shift to rapid northward travel out of Antarctica (less than 60° S) into open ocean waters (figure 1). The Bayesian regression model clearly identified a change in swim speed, with average velocities increasing to more than 9 km h−1 in all cases (range = 9.12–12.13; figure 2). These departures took place over an 80 day period between 4 February and 20 April over three different years (electronic supplementary material, S1).
These six whales all followed a consistent route into the southwest Atlantic, passing just east of the Falkland Islands (figure 1). Tags on 5/6 of these whales revealed non-stop movements to subtropical waters (30–37° S) off the coasts of Uruguay and southern Brazil, to SSTs ranging from 20.9°C to 24.2°C. Two of these whales (6 and 7) began travelling south before the tags ceased transmitting, and one (7) completed a 42 day round trip of 9392 km, before returning to Antarctica on 1 June (SST −1.9°C) to a location 40 km from where it was tagged. A second group that left in February 2009 (4) was subsequently photographed back around the Antarctic Peninsula in June 2010 (A. Friedlaender 2010, unpublished data) and again in January 2011 by the authors.
After leaving Antarctic waters at relatively high speed, all six longest-lasting tags showed declining velocity with decreasing latitude, to average speed of 5–10 km h−1 at varying minimum latitudes (figure 2). Notably, the two returning whales exhibited a corresponding increase in velocity as they followed a very similar track back to Antarctica, with the whale 7 reaching average speed in excess of 10 km h−1 south of 52°, as it crossed the Drake Passage between the Falkland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Once back in the coastal waters near the tagging site, it abruptly slowed down to 'foraging speed' less than 5 km h−1 on the last transmission day (mean = 4.2, range 3.5–4.7).
4. Discussion
Despite frequent sightings in Antarctic waters, there have been very few records of type B killer whales occurring elsewhere [8]. Our results, however, suggest that they regularly travel to the subtropics, thus providing the first documentation of directed, long distance migration for killer whales anywhere. Although these migrations will limit pressure on prey around Antarctica, they could lead to short term increases in local predation if whales are 'topping off' before they depart [10].
This migration was characterized by a consistent and directed progression to and from lower latitudes at displacement speed higher than when foraging around the Antarctic Peninsula. Remarkably, one whale returned to Antarctica after completing a 9400 km trip in just 42 days. We suggest that the speed and duration of this trip would have left little time for prolonged foraging, and probably also would have been too challenging for a newborn calf. Most large scale whale migrations are currently explained as movements for feeding or breeding purposes [14], but, as an alternative, we suggest that this migration we documented may represent a physiological maintenance migration. Our tagged whales followed the most direct path to the nearest warm waters north of the subtropical convergence, with a gradual slowing of swim speed in progressively warmer water. We therefore hypothesize that these migrations were thermally motivated, and they might be facultative rather than seasonal because they were initiated across a range of at least 80 days between February and April, with at least one whale returning to cold waters (−1.9°C) at the onset of the austral winter in June.
Killer whales are the smallest cetaceans that regularly occur in subzero Antarctic waters, and this extreme thermal environment presents them with significant physiological challenges [15], including repairing and replacing their outer skin layer while maintaining thermal integrity. Similar thermal considerations underlie the requirement for pinnipeds to haul-out on land to moult, and the annual movement of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucus) into warmer water estuaries in the Arctic [16]. As evidence for limited skin regeneration, killer whales in Antarctica are often coloured yellow because of a thick accumulation of diatoms on their skin [8], but the same animals are at other times 'clean' (electronic supplementary material, figure S2). We infer that the latter have recently returned from warmer waters where they shed their diatoms while replacing their epidermal tissue. If this hypothesis should prove true, it could have implications for migratory movements of other killer whale ecotypes in high latitudes [7], and perhaps other large whales as well. Currently, there is no consensus on why baleen whales migrate to the tropics [14], but we suggest that similar physiological constraints could be a factor.

Crunchyroll Community Manager
First, I would like to thank all of you for your entries. Really, it wasn't fair of me to ask you to 1.) Choose your favorite fight, and 2.) Explain why in under 500 words ~ ! Personally, I have about 8 favorite fights, and could write college thesis-length reasons as to WHY, so good job everyone that participated ~ !
I'd like to announce our two runner-ups.
Third Runner Up, UltimateUnknown
Fight: Hinata vs Pain from Naruto Shippuden 166.
"One can only imagine how difficult it is to stand in the face overwhelming odds, where you know the outcome already, and that is death."
Junko Takeuchi told me herself that the reason she loved Naruto is the over-whelming emotion is conjures up in it's fans. I love Naruto for this reason as well, so any time I see someone connecting so solidly to the messages and the feeling that the story tries so hard to give the audience, I am happy. There are a lot of anime out there, but to me, none of them take control of the viewer's emotions quite the way Naruto has. In your explanation of your feelings, it's easy to see that you vicariously lived through Hinata's pain and courage. Your love for the series really shined.
"That genuine feeling of affection manifested into courage, with which she faced Pain, her strongest adversary head on. "
Second Runner Up, mermaid369
Fight: Naruto Shippuden Episode 175: Hero of the Hidden Leaf
"Jiraiya ... I've always related to him and his desire to pass on his wisdom, experience and ideals to the next generation. In fact, I use this very show to do so, and I feel that Kishimoto communicates many of life's most important lessons through his amazing story."
Again, your reason illustrates a deeper connection to the show/this battle than just merely appreciating the thrill of a good fight. I think when it comes to this series, the fights are just the manifestations of the relationships between characters, and the conflicts and bonds that those create. Loving Jiraiya meant wanting revenge, yet understanding revenge meant understanding and connecting with Naruto so much that you were able to understand how NOT IN VAIN, everything was, a nuance that many miss!
"...he uses his talk-no-jutsu to finally impart the lessons that the Hidden Rain orphans so completely failed to understand the first time around."
First Place Winner: ShawnHacaga
Fight: Jiraiya vs. Pain Episodes 130-133
"For everyone knows that a student inherits his ninja way from his teacher."
I think the fact that I am choosing you is your honesty. Not only are you admitting to having stopped watching Naruto, but admitting a severed connection to the story, and to the show. Your entry really explains the impact a fight can have on the audience. The fact that this one battle, spanning three episodes could return you to the story is pretty powerful. Also, you are one of the only users that mentioned a disdain for the word-count, meaning you could go on much more about why this was important to you.
"Needless to say, I never regretted my decision to watch Naruto again after witnessing this monumental clash."
AND THOSE ARE THE WINNERS ~ ! All of you will be contacted shortly for shipping addresses. Thanks again to everyone that participated and stay tuned for more Naruto goodness on Crunchyroll ~ !
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 literally gives you the power to recreate ANY memorable battle from the world of Naruto Shippuden.

Hinata vs. Pain
Episode 166 - Confession - no further explanation needed.
(Naruhina ftw)
My favorite fight was when Naruto was fighting the Reanimated Raikage. At the end of that fight his rasengan/sage mode combination countered Raikage's attack and WRECKED him.
~X Burner~
My favorite fight was when Naruto fought pain..the entire scene
Naruto Vs. Pain. The fight that officially established Naruto as the ultimate badass and best Ninja in Konoha.
My favorite fight would probably have to be Sasuke vs. Itachi, because that was the moment when Sasuke would finally succeed in his goal, and the fact that Sasuke is my favorite character. The fight also introduced Susano'o.
Episode 266
Because the soundtrack made it seem so creepy and you can feel that you're lonely in a battle where you can't use your eyes and your ears. It's the Silent Killing!
[ ]593973[/]
I have to pick the Naruto Sage mode VS the different Pain Dolls. So much happened to change Naruto to send him down the path to Hokage and change the minds of all the people who live in the leaf village. http://www.crunchyroll.com/naruto-shippuden/episode-163-explosion-sage-mode-542490
My favorite fight scene was when Granny Chiyo went against Sasori! The reason why because I like how they basically went all out at each other using their awesome skills!
I'm here
All About Sasuke Vs Itachi
sasuke vs killer bee, because bees rhymes are tight and he knows how to fight, it looked like he got licked but sasuke was tricked, sasuke didn't even know because of bees mad flow all while spitting "bakayaro, konoyaro!"
I have to say my favorite fight is episode 134 of Naruto the fight between Naruto and Sasuke at the waterfall. This was one of the big turn around moments for the entire series since it will be the last time we see Sasuke before he leaves. It shows the rivalry between these two characters and is probably one of my favorite episodes in the entire series so far. It wasn't very flashy and we didn't see naruto kick ass but the meaning behind the fight makes it in my opinion on of the best fights ever.
Basically, go to the video (episode) page, look at the URL (www.crunchyroll.com/blablabla) and copy the number at the end of the address.
In your reply to this thread, type [crvideo.number./crvideo] (remove the spaces from what I typed and make sure both "crvideo" and "/crvideo" are enclosed by brackets [ ]
Click preview post to make sure you did it right.
Should look something like this:
For others also experiencing difficulty in replying, refer to "BBCode help", located below the reply window at the bottom of the page for a explanation and example from Crunchy.
Sasuke vs Itachi. I loved watching this episode, the new things introduced in it were awesome (Susano'o and Kirin, which were epic in the manga and even more epic in the show) and it almost made me cry. Almost c:
Naruto Shippuden Episode 247 – Target: Nine Tails
Is my favorite episode of Naruto b/c he has to fight the nine tails within him. He has some help from his mother, but in all he learns from her and what his parents wanted for him. that's what gives him the strength to beat the nine tails, which is his best fight in my eyes.
gotta luv anime <3

Are GET And POST Enough To Create RESTful Services?
- Share

Read later
Reading List
Mike Amundsen asks, in an post that examines alternatives to how one might develop RESTful services in environments constrained to a choice of using just GET and POST.
Every once in a while i get into a discussion about the REST arch style w/ a person who is under the impression that, unless you use the HTTP methods PUT and DELETE, your app is not RESTful. this is not correct.
In an attempt to answer this questions he proceeds to answer a few questions that verify that as long the right HTTP methods are used for the appropriate operations, a service can be considered RESTFul.
Is it safe?
He reiterates in order that intermediaries determine safety of an operation by examining the HTTP methods. As long as the intent of the operation, expressed via the HTTP methods, and the implementation of that request match, the operation is considered safe.
it's important that implementations do not use safe methods (e.g. GET and HEAD) to perform unsafe operations (e.g. writing data). […] since HTTP defines GET as "safe", caches and other proxies will assume (based on the spec) that it's fine to perform "pre-fetch" on these URIs and/or cache and replay the responses as needed.
Is POST is not enough? [Do we need PUT and DELETE as well for unsafe operations?]
Though much of the examples and literature available on the subject suggests it, he emphasizes that RESTful service interfaces are not always just CRUD interfaces.
[…] another common notion is that using only POST for all write operations is not RESTful. IOW, you can't claim your implementation supports REST unless it utilizes PUT and/or DELETE. this incorrect assumption is often a side-effect of viewing REST only through the lens of CRUD operations; that REST == CRUD over HTTP. again. while it is possible to do CRUD over HTTP, that's not REST; that's CRUD over HTTP.
He goes on to quote Roy Fielding; who asserts that "It is okay to use POST"
We don't need to use PUT for every state change in HTTP. REST has never said that we should.
But can i really do it all w/ just GET and POST?
"sure you can;" He say's "it's been done that way for many years. nothing magical is needed. no special headers; no action arguments in the URI; no method parameter in the body of the message.". He goes on to give an example of queued operations on a server.
for example, expose public resources where writing to the server is handled via requests that are added to a list for processing:POST /users/pending-updates/ OR POST /users/pending-deletes/
This model is very similar to the ideas expressed by Tim Bray in the design of Sun's VM API, which he refers to as Slow REST. The idea is based on Craig McLanahan's proposal for Handling Asynchronous Operation Requests.
For any and all PUT/POST/DELETE operations, we return "202 In progress" and a new "Status" resource, which contains a 0-to-100
progressindicator, a
target_urifor whatever's being operated on, an
opto identify the operation, and, when
progressreaches 100,
messagefields to tell how the operation came out. The idea is that this is designed to give a hook that implementors can make cheap to poll.
Mike concludes his post saying, for situations where the use of HTTP methods is either constrained by network or by limitations in the clients' useragent's ability to handle verbs other than the standard GET and POST, the service needs to make adjustments that "guide" the client towards the right representations, HTTP methods and uri's
since HTTP abstracts interactions into resources w/ representations addressed via URIs, making runtime adjustments is not only possible, it's designed into the protocol. by combining these levels of abstraction w/ the hypermedia constraint described in Fielding's dissertation you can achieve a very flexible implementation that is not only HTTP-compliant, but also supports key principles of the REST architectural style across multiple environments; even ones restricted to using only GET and POST.

Out of curiosity, in what kind of environment are the HTTP operations restricted to GET and POST?

POST /users/pending-updates/ and POST /users/pending-deletes/ are clearly attempts to avoid putting verbs in resource names but fail the smell test.
Isn't restful services all about modeling scenarios as resources so that it feels natural to use them while leveraging the characteristics of the web as a platform? To me it seems natural to model such a "container" resource that one can put resources into and and manage.
In addition to browsers, certain server stacks do not support all the http verbs. Not to mention firewall/network restrictions.>

The purpose was to look at strategies for doing idempotent operations using just GET and POST as primitives.

Speaking for the author, the point however wasn't to dismiss PUT and DELETE as inessential for REST.

thanks for including my recent blog post here. yes, the point of the article was how one _can_ do RESTful work with only two of the HTTP methods (one read, one write), not how one _must_ do it w/ only two HTTP methods (e.g. don't use PUT/DELETE). for example, i work in some very high-security cases where web browser scripting is not allowed.
i see James Watson doesn't like my URI naming, he can use /q1w2e3r45/ and /y6u7i8o9/ instead; the implementation is the same.
finally, i possibly did not make it clear that the implementation i illustrate achieves idempotency via a message body design (the media type transfered in each POST) that can be repeated (ala PUT and DELETE) without other side effects.
again, thanks for referencing my post.

I've stumbled accross this post today that explains the Rozenshtein method of pivoting data.
It's quite interesting. I haven't seen the SIGN() function being used at all in SQL server in practice yet so this is kind of cool if you ask me :)
