Tina's research interests are in the systematics of flowering plants, specifically neotropical Campanulaceae; she teaches introductory botany (BIO 284) plant identification courses (BIO 414, Native Plants; BIO 415 Plant Taxonomy; BIO 517 Agrostology) and upper division/graduate courses in evolutionary biology (BIO 435C), Biogeography (BIO 663), and Floristics (BIO 599).
Currently, Tina is completing
a monograph of the genus Lysipomia
(Campanulaceae), a genus of about 50 species endemic to the Andean alpine
tundra. Additional projects include a phylogenetic analysis of Nemacladus, which is being done in collaboration
with Dr. Nancy Morin; systematics of Cyphocarpus in collaboration with Kimberly Hansen, a former master's student;
and systematics of Lobelia and Diastatea in Mexico
and Central America, in collaboration with Elizabeth Johnson, a former master's student. All of these studies involve gathering molecular sequence
data from chloroplast or nuclear genomes and collecting macro- and
micromorphological data. Tina is also interested in rare plant conservation and
florisitics, especially in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico and mentors students in these areas as well as plant systematics.

Wow! What a response we have received for "Notes Application Browser Plugin for Windows" (what a long name - but that's just the 1st attempt). It's mind blowing. Never expected such a response from all the customers. So a quick recap of what it is (& I am proud to have been working on it along with some of my colleagues)
- A small Notes Client package, which includes:
- Components of Basic Notes Client which are needed to run notes applications
- browser integration components
- Allowing, customers to run their Notes applications nside a browser, UNMODIFIED. The last word has huge significance for customers. No Modifications needed to get their application running inside a browser.
This is huge for customers that have thousands of applications, and cannot move all of them to XPages. Yes, they do want to move applications to XPages, but it takes time. New applications definitely can and will be on XPages, but existing applications, especially the old ones which are used rarely, can now be webified with the help of this plugin, no modifications needed.
This allows customers to also move earlier to the Web for their notes/domino needs. They can use iNotes for Mail (and if you have not, please check out the 8.5.3/8.5.4 version of iNotes - lots of new features), and use the Browser Plugin for the rest of their applications.

The Florida Climate Center in Tallahassee reported that our area saw more than 8 inches above normal rainfall in June and July.
The Florida Climate Center in Tallahassee reported that our area saw more than 8 inches above normal rainfall in June and July.
More than 700 storms were recorded statewide, 200 of which were in the first week of July. Flooding meant washed out roads, drowned peanuts and exploded watermelons.
Yet, many landscape sprinkler systems were still running.
Where were the rain shut-off devices?
Conservation and savings
Florida is one of a few states with a rain sensor statute. Since May 1991, new installations of irrigation systems have been required to include a rain shut-off device.
Florida Statute 373.62 states, "Any person who operates an automatic landscape system shall properly install, maintain and operate technology that inhibits or interrupts operation of the system during periods of sufficient moisture."
Thus, all automatic landscape irrigation systems require rain sensors or other shut-off devices such as soil-moisture sensor irrigation controllers.
Moisture sensing technology conserves water, saves money, reduces wear on irrigation system components, reduces disease and helps protect water resources from runoff.
If water costs and amount of water applied per watering cycle are known, it is easy to calculate how much money is saved when the sensor interrupts the cycle.
For example, if a system irrigates a half-acre of turf and is set to deliver a half-inch of water to each zone, approximately 13,576 gallons of water will be used during each watering event.
If the water costs $2 per thousand gallons, every time the sprinkler system comes on, the water bill will be $27.15.
Use a disc
The least expensive and most common rain sensor device is the expansion disc rain shut-off.
Expanding cork disks trigger a pressure switch. The expansion space can be easily adjusted by rotating the disc cover to a predetermined amount of rain required to trigger the switch. The amount of rain that will interrupt the irrigation system is marked on the adjustment cap.
A rain sensor must be mounted where it will be exposed to unobstructed rainfall � typically near the roofline on the side of a building.
The device can be tested during rainfall by setting out several straight-sided shallow containers, using the same technique as calibrating the irrigation system.
After rain has stopped, measure the water�s depth in each container with a ruler and calculate the average measurements. When the containers average a half-inch of rainfall, set the sensor to one-half inch and manually turn on the irrigation. The system should not run. If it does, a repair is needed.
Remember: Every drop that hits the ground will pick up pollutants as it flows to our groundwater. By only irrigating when the soil needs it, you are preventing contamination of drinking water.

Trash is often what is at the other end of much of our consumption. Well I have been collecting all my "trash" as they suggest. I am also collecting recyclables and it all goes in a bag for the week so I can see what I can do to reduce this.
In general our house is pretty good about reducing trash. The three of us generate about half a grocery bag or less per week while the tenant upstairs has about twice as much or more for one person. As I mentioned yesterday one of my challenges will be getting rid of the newspaper, as I like to read the paper while eating breakfast. While many items are recyclable and may have post-consumer content in them, like the newspaper, it still takes resources to make and transport these items.
I already do a lot of trash avoidance as well, so I will have to work on the smaller items like using less Kleenex. There are some things I will probably not do, like switching to a straight edge razor instead of the refillable plastic ones, but the guide for this experiment is good in that it lists many actions for each day so you can find some way to lessen your impact even if you are already doing a lot, or if an action is too hard to do.
Each day in this experiment is added to the next, so today is not buying stuff and reducing your trash. Today I needed a hammer drill at work to drill wholes in concrete. I was tempted to buy one because I have needed one in the past and had to rent one and need one now again. Then the rental place was just down the street. Not so at work today. So I am trying to borrow this item. If I bought one, it would only be used very infrequently at best, so borrowing one is a good idea. I just have to think of someone that might have one. Please let me know if you have a hammer drill I can borrow.
I like the blog quote from No Impact Man in the daily guide for this experiment about environmentally conscious packaging: "Think ice cream cone." It is packaging and it is edible. This makes everyone smile. Why can't all packaging be designed in such a way?
Tomorrow is Transportation day. I hope the weather holds up. - David Coale
So far so good. I am normally a minimalist, but I realized that I use floss pics. Oh the trauma to my ecobrain. I didn't buy anything thing on Sunday I never actually left my apt. Today I biked and took light rail to work, but I did stop at a gas station to by some nuts for snacking at work. Ok that is my vice, nut packs. I try to buy those and eliminate chips from my diet. I rode all the way home and felt awesome. I was thinking about my waste pile, though and it is small, but still something that I am very conscious about. Maybe just being conscious will help eliminate those items by the end of the year. I have discovered refill stations at the local food co-ops for maple syrup, oils, tamari, and all sorts of other sundries! Very excited. I save all my glass jars to put beans and rice in along with sugar, salt, flour and small jars for spices. I wonder if I looked at my recycling bin if there are things I can eliminate from that "waste" stream. Recycling is not as good as reuse in my humble opinion. -Carol Hawkins
Yesterday was the start of the "No Impact Experiment" on Yes! magazine's website. The goal throughout the week is to really examine your consumption on all fronts, and see what you can really reduce the amount of stuff that you use, buy, or really think you "need" to have in order to have a happy life. Since we live on a fairly limited income (family of four living on a single income of $34k a year), I'm always trying to keep costs down, and have been thinking I'm doing a pretty good job of it.
This week, though, is opening my eyes to the fact that there's still plenty of room for improvement! Today was my bi-weekly grocery shopping trip with my heart-sister. We carpool, laugh, have a good time, and get this sometimes onerous task done. Along the way, we usually stop for coffee and breakfast, and occasionally lunch. This time we remembered our travel mugs, so no paper cups were used, but we grabbed a breakfast sandwich to eat on the road, which meant paper to wrap it in, and a bag. Lunch was at a restaurant that uses ceramic plates, metal utensils, and plastic cups for their dine-in customers (which we usually are). Not too much consumption, but a little. In the survey for the start of No Impact Week, I'd said that I never drink bottled water - but I realized today, that wasn't correct. When we're grocery shopping, we each grab one bottle of Hint water (water flavored with fruit essences and not sweetened or carbonated). It's a treat for us, but it's a totally unnecessary purchase, and one that generates the use of a plastic bottle that must then be recycled. I buy foods in bulk when I can, but I don't always remember to bring containers or bags with me to reuse. I've placed the bags from today's shopping trip in a basket next to my shopping bags, so I can grab them when next shopping trip rolls around.
While making my list of things we constantly consume, I realized that paper towels and napkins are pretty high on the list. So I'll be repurposing a double-bed sized top sheet that's still in great condition - I'm going to cut the sheet into squares and create a whole bunch of napkins that we'll then be able to launder with the rest of our weekly washing. I'm sure as I get further into this, there will be more eye-openers. -Laura

Actually, just now I ended up with the waxy rind of a lovely organic goat cheese that I just finished with some homemade organic butternut squash soup. Avoiding making non-compostable trash today was relatively easy for me, but my daughter was apoplectic that I would not go and buy her a favorite ramen cup. I tried in vain for an hour to get her to have more homemade organic black beans and rice. Ramen is a special treat that reminds her of her big brother, who was on an overnight with some friends.
I located a large cup of the stuff in the cupboard, not really her favorite, but she ate it anyway, and promptly had a meltdown which required a nap. This week is going to be very difficult for her. The packaging for my food is making this week difficult for me.
I decided to have a salad for breakfast--something I used to do religiously--since I had a loose head of green leaf that had a few wilted leaves. This beauty had been delivered to my door by Farm Fresh to You, an organic farmers collective, a few days back, actually maybe last year! Washed and shredded, it needed something additional to add flavor since I do not use salad dressing, just organic olive oil and seasoned rice vinegar. The last brown tomato was still in the cardboard box with plastic sheathing. Dried organic cranberries were found in a specially designed ziplocked front pocket entry plastic bag. The organic carrots were in plastic bags--two packages and one bag of loose I threw in a bag myself. I found a few opened bags and "clam shells" of various Earth's Best and Trader Joe's org green mixes. That was odd. Or is it usual, that I have so many of these in varying stages of decay?
Yesterday, I tossed two bags of organic blue lake green beans that I bought on sale at the beginning of December to go with a large butternut squash. A month ago! I also found a bag of snap peas with only a few eaten. I distinctly remember them giving me an intense allergic reaction; they were packaged in microwave ready bag. I like to snack on them raw. Well, apparently I like to try to to snack on them raw.
I ate 2 pieces of the left-over fried chicken and turnip greens I made for Imani/New Year's Day traditional African American meal (all organic), but did not reheat the black-eyed peas. They are still in the fridge, along with some roasted potatoes from Christmas dinner. The two bones almost did not make it into my stash because they looked disgusting.
While reducing shopping for THINGS is not an issue for me at all, apparently I a have a very real issue with reducing my shopping for food. I hide my consumption in goods that are allegedly "necessities," but is a bottle of Erdinger Hefe-Weizen with a bag or organic potato chips really a necessity, especially when there are two half full bottles of mineral water, one closed one, a bag of unopened plantain chips and half a bag of kettle corn?! Yes I have two children who snack a lot, but good grief!
And by the way, there are now three empty glass bottles in my pile from yesterday.
The fit of cooking started not only in preparation for this week, but in preparation for the massive fiscal scale back: I work as a consultant and checks did not make it to me before the first of the month. This means a raft of late fees on everything from rent to utilities to cell phone bill. I stocked the cupboard, when I could have been a bit more selective. See, it is not that there is absolutely no money in the accounts; just not enough to go around at this very moment. And when that happens, I tend to nest, to cook.
And le voilà.
Day 2 of the No Impact Carbon Fast, and I am pretty sure that I could not shop for another week and still have plenty to eat. I am grateful for that, but annoyed at the wasted food and the hollow food taking space in my cupboard. I am upset that I do not have a compost for all the trimmings left from making the soup and salads; the skins and wilted leaves are not trash, just dirt waiting to happen.
I suppose that I now have to make the compost happen, along with a pot-in-pot to stop the premature wilting in the first place. Where is that money coming from? -Veluma
While I admire the concept of NO impact, I think LOW impact is just as good. I think there is little difference, statistically, between cutting down and doing without when we are talking about the impact of billions of people. Even the Dalai Lama admits to eating some meat. I've never dieted in my life, so I don't believe in depriving myself. However, I do want to live in line with my values to take care of this magnificent planet. I think it's important not to get too self-righteous about what steps one is taking, and to remember to be politically active.
Want to have the best impact on the planet? Run for office, even if there's no chance of winning. Campaigning gives you the opportunity to talk to people about clean energy and reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. It inspires people. I can tell you from experience, there is hardly a greater feeling than having someone tell you that you are the first person they have ever voted for.
I have to say that the Beaven family has many advantages living in New York. Although it seems counter-intuitive, I have to admit that when I lived in New York, my impact was much lower than it is now living in a rural community. In Manhattan, I lived in a small apartment, kept it cold, took the stairs, ate mostly salads from the Union Square farmer's market, and walked or took the subway everywhere. Things were expensive, so I rarely ate out, and found ways to get into plays cheaply (last minute tickets) or for free by ushering. The city's parks are endlessly entertaining, and there are great museums.
Now, even though we live surrounded by agricultural areas, we shop at a chain grocery and we don't know where most of our food comes from. There is a farmer's market in the summer, but most of the produce is gone by the time we get there. We have a large house and even though we've replaced the windows to low-E and beefed up the insulation, it still is not terribly energy efficient. We don't have $500 utility bills like we did in Japan, but I know we could do a lot better.
Sometimes I think most of us should live in cities, so that we could all use public transportation and consolidate services. But then, cities like Sao Paulo, Brazil that had good subway and bus systems have become so congested that people now get around by helicopter.
I know that by developing rural areas and suburbs, animal habitats are displaced. In spite of our interference, I really like having wildlife around—in our yard, we have squirrels and box turtles, lots of birds, and an occasional raccoon, hawk, and skunk. Deer lurk in orchards just up the road.
The downside of a quiet, rural area is that everything here is spread out, so we drive frequently. Most destinations are no more than ten minutes away, and I have an efficient Honda Fit, so I don't burn much gas, but I do feel guilty sometimes for the number of times I start and stop my car driving from one location to the next to run errands. Unlike many of the residents here, we don't leave town on weekends very often. But traveling for work means a very long drive to the airport.
There aren't many locally-owned stores, so I do most of my shopping on the internet. Probably too much shopping. I like to think this has a lower carbon footprint than driving to Roswell or Midland to shop, but I could be wrong.
The recycling program here is growing, but nowhere near where I'd like it to be. We create about two kitchen garbage bags of waste a week, most of that cat litter. We have a large yard, and even though we are xeriscaping, we still use water for the garden and we fertilize the pecan trees. I'm proud that we don't use any insecticides on the land, and that I "mow" by using an electric weed whacker around my various plantings. We've turned off most of the sprinklers.
We compost by dumping leaves in a large wooden box out back. We've left a small layer of dirt and worms/bugs, and pile in the fall leaves and then toss kitchen scraps on top. Composting instructions say you're supposed to turn it frequently and maintain certain balances of different elements. We don't do this—too much dirt is too heavy to try to turn over. We water it occasionally and by spring we have nice dark dirt. It's probably not perfect, but I figure it's better than store-bought soil, and we cut down on garbage. So, I have to say that composting doesn't have to be as complicated as many make it seem.
So far, this NO Impact week hasn't been too hard. No temptation to stop into stores to browse. I have had the temptation to look for things online, but I've prevailed. The only garbage I think we've created is cans of cat food. One of our cats is diabetic and is not allowed to eat dry food. The canned food he likes of course only comes in very small cans, which our community doesn't recycle, to my knowledge (it's not on the official list I cut out and posted on the fridge). I think I will start a petition to Purina to make larger cans. -Drum Turtle
Day 2 of the No Impact Week asks you to eliminate trash. I'm doing way better than average for me, but I still threw out packaging from a packet of Korean seasoned seaweed and two tea bags. Oh and some napkins* I used to smash up the cockroaches that took over the kitchen while I was out of town.
As part of the No Impact Challenge, today I wiped my breakfast burrito dribble on a cloth napkin. However, normally I use paper napkins that I've rescued from when the waiter gives a too-generous stack. My stash includes the super-thick ones from Likelike Diner, the skimpy ones from the airplane (though I think I used those in today's roach slaughter), and more typical ones from take-out** when I was too spaced out to turn the cashier down.
I love my lunch time take-out options: Armenian roasted eggplant, turkey meatloaf, cake noodles, yum etc yum. I hate the Styrofoam containers that come with take-out though. I kept a styrofoam log when I first moved to Hawaii but gave up in shame when I realized I was up to a minimum of one container a day (3 styrofoam containers are required to ferry one order of pho home…) I do try to extend the lives of the cleanest ones, rinsing and reusing them for home-cooked leftovers but...
Is it possible to put a worm bin a studio apartment? I generate an embarrassing amount of food garbage. Jealous of San Francisco County's mandated food scraps composting, I've been tempted to make forays into other people's compost bins to drop off my banana peels, egg shells, and moldy abandoned leftovers. -Annie Koh
My partner Conrad and I are participating in the No Impact Experiment for the second time.
Since our first experiment we have made a number of permanent changes to our habits that have reduced the amount of trash and recyclables we produce. Some of the practical things we did were: year round composting, using mesh bags for produce, buying in bulk and without packaging, when possible, (almost) always having a cloth shopping bag … you often have to be "quick on the draw" to stop the cashier from plastic bagging your purchase.
Our biggest trash challenge has been cat litter. When we cut back on our other trash, it became apparent that cat litter accounted for most of our output. At the time we were using clay cat litter and as I researched disposal alternatives, I found out how harmful the mining done for clay litter is to the environment. We switched to a pine pellet variety, which I hoped to be able to compost, but further research indicated that the verdict is out on whether or not it is safe to home compost litter (it may not get hot enough to kill any pathogens). So I now take my pellet litter, in a paper bag to the city compost heap with other leaves, twigs, etc, where it gets heated up enough to be safe. Unfortunately it is closed for the winter, so it's back to the trash again until spring.
Ironically, I also volunteer at a local cat shelter and when I went in to work on Monday, I found that this week we will begin sending all the pellet litter from the shelter to a commercial composting facility -- a major diversion of trash from the waste stream to a productive use, and a great way to celebrate Trash day. -Elizabeth Marcus, Newburyport, MA

GDC 08: Ken Levine on Storytelling in Games
"I know that's hard to hear, because you care about it a lot.. But the audience has no reason to be predisposed positively."
Despite the harsh words, the 2K Boston creative director and former Hollywood screenwriter was jovial throughout his lecture, taking the audience packed with gaming press and developers through an interesting dissection of storytelling in the video game medium.
Another key concept: the pushing or pulling of information. The veteran developer argued that games which require players to pull story information are ultimately more engaging than those which push their narratives onto players.
"Hat-tip to Valve.. I think Half-Life was the pioneer here," he added, noting that while players may miss some available information under the "pulling" dynamic, it's something that designers must live with. "You have to accept they miss most of it."
Levine also expounded on the value of simplification, noting that earlier versions of BioShock were actually much more complex in terms of narrative, but were soon simplified in what he called "The Great Character Massacre of 2006," reducing each actor to the point that each represented a single idea or concept.
"As time went on, we made our story simpler and simpler and simpler," he said, comparing the process of story refinement to that of a sculptor cutting into a piece of stone. "It's really painful to chip away."
Surrounding the world of Rapture with as much mystery as possible was also a breakthrough.
"Asking questions is more interesting than answering them. Think of Lost," he said of the J.J. Abrams television show, and then referred to the Abrams-produced monster movie Cloverfield as "Godzilla, but with less information."
"We call it the mystery balloon because we're pretentious. Who am I? Where am I? Who are the Big Daddies?"
While calling the last levels of BioShock some of the best in terms of gameplay, Levine also realized that by solving the mystery of the player's identity early on, the ending of the game had less of an effect on the player.
"I underestimated the impact that would have on the game."
"They want to get as much detail out of this world, they want a novelistic level of detail."
Even with all of these elements, Levine acknowledged that plenty of gamers aren't going to care at all.
"[Story] can't get in the way of the guy who just wants to play Madden," he concluded. "You have to accept that a lot of people just aren't going to care [about a deep story]."
However, true to form, he left the audience optimistic about the potential of story in games.
"This is a new medium. You have to trust your audience. Trust mystery. Last, we gotta empower the gamer."

Blu-ray sales could triple or even quintuple in 2009.
That was the word from analysts at the Blu-ray Disc Assn.'s Consumer Electronics Show gathering, one of the very few events at the confab with positive news to showcase.
Coming off a year in which Blu-ray domestic disc sales more than quadrupled to 24 million and player sales roughly tripled to 10 million, industry reps were even more bullish on '09 despite the economic downturn.
Speaking on a panel, analyst Tom Adams of Adams Media Research said disc sales would double or triple this year, taking them to more than 50 million. Richard Doherty of Envisioneering was even more bullish, predicting disc sales would grow by a factor of five or six, potentially taking them up to 150 million by the end of the year.
That's very good news for studios, which saw the overall homevid biz decline 5.5% last year despite Blu-ray's growth. The question for this year is how much standard DVDs will continue to decline and whether Blu-ray's expansion can make up for some or even all of that drop.
The holidays, in particular, proved strong for Blu-ray, with a full 8 million discs sold, fueled in large part by the drop of player prices to under $200. Warners' "The Dark Knight" was the first Blu-ray title to exceed 1 million units sold in the U.S.
Blu-ray's growth is particularly important for struggling Sony, which owns most of the format's patents.
Sony CEO Howard Stringer spoke in a Thursday morning keynote at CES, where he pledged that more than 90% of the company's products will connect wirelessly to the Internet and to each other by 2011.
Prediction was part of an emphasis by Stringer on connecting devices in order to deliver digital content. "The lines between CE (consumer electronics), IT (information technology) and entertainment has been blurring for some time. We must now accept this fusion is reality," he told attendees at a morning keynote speech.
Exec listed seven rules that he claimed are necessary for digital success in the dismal economy but could also be read as the direction in which he's aiming to take Sony.
Beyond persistent connection, convergence and services, Stringer emphasized open standards — a declaration that surprised many in the audience since Sony has traditionally been known for closed systems and not even coordinating between its own divisions, let alone working with partners.
Stringer made only brief mention of the recession and didn't specifically address how Sony will cope. There are reports that his company will announce substantial layoffs in the near future.
Instead, most of Stringer's 90-minute-plus address was an overview of Sony's business, from Blu-ray to videogames to televisions. Exec was joined by numerous celebs, including Tom Hanks, who mercilessly mocked the marketing-speak written for him on the TelePrompTer; R&B star Usher; baseball great Reggie Jackson; Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of an upcoming syndicated yakker from Sony TV; Disney Animation topper John Lasseter, who touted Blu-ray; and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, who talked about digital 3-D, for which Sony makes projectors.
Sony CEO demonstrated several products still in development, including a paper-thin, flexible video display screen.
Also Thursday at CES, Disney-ABC TV prexy Anne Sweeney talked about her company's intentions to work with Intel on interactive versions of "Good Morning America" and the "Lost" series finale (Daily Variety, Jan. 8). Exec also emphasized that digital technologies are making her company's networks less important as destinations. "ABC, ABC Family, Disney Family are not just network brands, they're strong content brands that can live and thrive on any device," she told attendees.
In a morning event, satcaster Dish Network unveiled a digital video recorder that includes technology from its new subsidiary, Sling Networks, that allows users to watch recorded content on numerous Internet-connected devices.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is caused by a virus that cannot be cured. Herpes is easy to catch through direct physical contact with an infected person. The virus causes painful blisters and sores with scabs. The blisters and the areas under the scabs contain lots of active virus. Herpes is most easily caught (contagious) when sores are present. Even when there are no sores, people infected with herpes can pass the virus to their sexual partners. If you or your partner is infected, you can catch or spread herpes through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Millions of Americans are infected with herpes.
The first herpes outbreak can last about 3 weeks. The sores become crusty, then scab and heal.
Serious problems for newborn babies can include:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had herpes or if you think you have been exposed to the herpes simplex virus. You will be watched closely. If you have active herpes at the time of delivery, a cesarean section is normally done.
It is very important for a pregnant woman to get good prenatal care to prevent health problems for her baby.
Genital herpes never leaves your body. It stays in the nerve root and may come back again and again. Your doctor can prescribe medicines that ease the pain, speed healing,and lessen the number of outbreaks.
Once you have herpes, you should always use a latex condom with spermicide when having sex. Even if you have no symptoms of an outbreak, use a latex condom with spermicide. The virus can be spread to your partner even when there are no sores.
One of the most important things you must do now is discuss the infection with your partner. It is important to understand how the virus is transmitted and treated. A few things to remember:
If you have sex, you could be at risk for having an STD. See your doctor to be tested.
Following are some ways to reduce your risk.
Just because you have cured an STD doesn't mean you can't get it again. You can be reinfected after treatment as often as you are exposed to each STD.
Note: If you or your partner has an allergy to latex, talk with your doctor. Important steps for using condoms correctly:

STP/Build 101
This page is meant to serve as a general overview to how the STP build system works, what each of the directories you see are for, and how to go about making the most commonly required updates.
Getting started
Firstly, you'll need to checkout the build system. Typically, you should just able to check out the latest version of the build:
cvs -d :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com co build
The only thing that you can change which will influence the build at this point is the stuff in the cruise directory. The releng / releng.stpbuilder give you an indication of what will happen on the build, but changing them at this point will not result in any changes to the build that will be executed. Why? Well the first thing that happens when you run the build from the cruise directory is that it will proceed to checkout a specific version of releng / releng.stpbuilder from CVS, and then begin the build from that directory. So if you're changing any files in those directories, commit first, then build.
OK, so what do these directories actually do, and why would you need to change them. Lets now start to look at this in a little more detail. After checkout of build, you get a relatively simple looking directory structure as follows:
build cruise releng releng.stpbuilder
So, what are these directories for then? Let's start with the cruise directory....
The cruise directory
The cruise directory is where you'll go to do a build. It's default action is build / test everything, created deployment packages, update sites, etc, and rsync everything over to the main eclipse development machines so it's available for download. Don't just build after checkout though, it will most likely fail.
Start by looking at the build.properties file. You'll need to change the following in it:
build.home= the location that you've checkout the build directory into
mapVersionTag= The version of the build system that you'd like to checkout. Current 3.3 builds are tagged with STP_33_M? where ? represents the build number. mapCvsRoot=where cvsroot is, e.g. :pserver:email@example.com/cvsroot/stp
Now define the type of build you wish to do:
buildType=I (I for integration, S for stream stable)
And change the following to suit the platform that you're building STP on:
baseos=linux basews=gtk basearch=x86
So, before running ant, you'll need to set up some classpath stuff. export J2SE15=${JAVA_5_HOME}/jre/lib/rt.jar
Yip, you need Java 1.5 to build STP.
Now run ant, sit back and wait :-)
The releng directory
The releng directory contains descriptions for all the main components that are part of the STP. When you add new features, plugins, etc, you'll be working with the contents of this directory. In releng you'll see a maps directory. In here you'll see map files for:
* All the features that are required to be built (e.g. stp-bpmn.map ) * All the plugins corresponding to these features (e.g. stp-bpmn-plugins.map) * A dependency.properties file that is used to describe what are required to build the various plugins.
The releng.stpbuilder directory
The releng.stpbuilder contains all the build infrastructure pieces to build the stp. Here you will find:
components - custom PDE based build targets here for each component that's part of the stp. In the dependency.properties file you may need to update it if you are placing additional dependencies for the component. Here, all dependencies are extraced. If you have any custom build rules that need to be executed, here the customTargets.xml is what you should be looking towards.
scripts - Scripts that generate the update site, download pages, and execute the copy over to dev.eclipse.org.
distribution Contain some template files, etc. that will form the content of the download page.
NB: The build.properties file in the root generally requires updating as we change eclipse milestons. The launcher that is used to eclipse needs to be specified correctly in here. Symptons that mean you haven't updated this file correctly are that the build fails in the test phase.

Read comments on this car
Last updated Sep 18, 2014
After years of searching I finally found a 70-73 Camaro in my price range and it was for sale locally. I've always wanted one of these cars, but figured I would never actually own one. I really like the looks of the split bumper with the round blinker lights next to the head lights (as opposed to the rectangular blinker lights under the bumper).
I bought this car on 4-21-07 for $3,500. I was told the car has been sitting for 4 years and the SBC 400 engine didn't work. So it wasn't perfect, but was a good start for a project. I think the price was a steal! My goal was to have it on the road by the end of summer 2007 - that goal was accomplished!
The thing I liked the best about this car was that the fuel injected and blown 350 engine fit under the stock flat hood. No one knew it was under there. It was funny to pop the hood at a car show or cruise night and then watch people scratching their heads looking at the engine as if saying, "What the hell is all this stuff?" This car would have been a nice little sleeper if the exhaust weren't so loud.
This car has been a domino effect of problems. To get the engine to fit with the original hood I had to install short Moroso solid motor mounts, modify PS pump location, have custom PS lines made, install electric fan, install shorty headers, etc... I even went through two transmissions after getting this engine set up because it's so powerful. I started of with the stock TH350 and blew that up. Then I installed a 700R4 trying to save gas money having overdrive. That transmission only lasted six weeks and then the torque converter went. In the spring of 2009, I installed a 4L80E out of a 1996 Chevy 3500 pickup. For that install I needed to fabricate a new crossmember, have the driveshaft shortened and purchase a stand alone transmission computer to make everything work.
It was one obstacle after another, but it was all worth it when it was running right.

(KMOV.com) – Police charge a Belleville man with burglary after security cameras capture the suspect breaking into a Salvation Army Store on the same street as his own home Thursday morning.
The St. Clair County State's Attorney's office charged Brian Schissler with one count felony burglary.
According to authorities, the Salvation Army Family Store located at 218 North Illinois Street was broken into around 2:30 a.m.
Schissler was caught on a security camera set up at a business across the street from the Salvation Army.
According to a detective with the Belleville Police Department, the camera captured Schissler breaking into the store, then leaving the store moments later; traveling up the street to his own home at 308 N. Illinois Street.
Several items were stolen including DVD player, DVD's, video games and other electronics.
In addition to the property damage, Salvation Army officials say the burglary has a ripple effect on those less fortunate.
"It is a travesty what has happened," said Major K. Kendall Mathews, Administrator of the Salvation Army ARC. "This crime not only will affect the men of our Center but also those in the Belleville community and other communities in which we serve to provide gently used merchandise at very low cost to families that may be struggling economically."
Major Matthews said it's even harder to realize the people who committed the crime are the very people the organization tried to help.
"The person is probably desperate for the type of services we provide at the ARC and would have openly received them had they only asked," he said. "Now we are left with no choice but to pursue prosecution instead of being the hand up they most desperately need."
Brian Schissler's bond was set at $75,000.

McDonald's sales figure bounces back in August
NEW YORK -- Oak Brook-based McDonald's said a key sales figure climbed 3.7 percent in August, as the fast-food chain emphasized the value of its menu offerings amid the challenging global economy.
The world's biggest hamburger chain's strongest performance came from the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, with revenue at stores open at least 13 months up 5.7 percent.
The company said Tuesday that strong results in Australia and China fueled the performance, along with a shift in the timing of Ramadan, the monthlong observance during which Muslims fast during daylight hours. This year, Ramadan ran from late July to mid-August. Last year, Ramadan fell entirely in August.
In the U.S., the company said its breakfast menu and value items pushed up sales by 3 percent. Last month, the figure had dipped 0.1 percent after the company said its promotions failed to drive growth.
In Europe, which is McDonald's biggest market and accounts for 40 percent of its business, the figure rose 3.1 percent on strength in the U.K., France and Russia. The company said its sponsorship of the London Olympics helped lift results. Another strong contributor was its Coke Glass promotion, in which customers got a free glass and wristband when they bought an extra value meal or premium salad.
The overall results for the month were offset by weakness in Japan, Germany and parts of southern Europe that have been hard hit by the economy.
Sales at all the company's restaurants rose 1.2 percent for the month. McDonald's, which has more than 33,500 locations around the world, is often seen as a bellwether for the industry.
The increase in August follows a disappointing showing in July, when the figure came in flat. That was the worst showing in more than nine years; the last time the figure dipped for McDonald's was in April 2003.
After years of outperforming its rivals, analysts say McDonald's could be heading into a period of slower growth. The company is also facing increasing competition, with Burger King Worldwide Inc. and The Wendy's Co. working to revive their brands.
Revenue in restaurants open at least 13 months is a key measure of a restaurant chain's performance because it strips out the impact of recently opened or closed stores. The figure is a snapshot of money spent on food at both company-owned and franchised restaurants. They do not reflect corporate revenue.
Shares of McDonald's Corp. rose 70 cents at $91.30 in premarket trading Tuesday.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport
Press Room
A World Class Airport for a World Class City - 5/1/2013 -
View Document
On Wednesday, April 17, the New Orleans Aviation Board took action to accept the recommendation from consultants contracted to do a study for the location of a new terminal. Four alternative sites were reviewed. The alternative options were (1) refurbishing the existing terminal site or build a new terminal on the (2) Southside, (3) Westside or (4) Northside of the existing campus. The recommended alternative that was approved by the Board was the option for the Northside of the airfield (see illustration on side 2). The completed comprehensive analysis came less than two years after New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu requested the Aviation Board undertake an in-depth and robust analysis of the four proposals for the future of the airport from the airport's master plan. The study looked at financial feasibility, environmental impact, design, and operational impacts, including potential uses for the existing terminal and surrounding infrastructure.
The need for a new terminal is predicated on the age and operational efficiency of the existing structure. The current airport terminal is on-average 30 years old, and its infrastructure and set up will over time have the potential to drive up operational costs to high, unsustainable levels. The existing terminal also generates relatively low revenue from parking and concessions due to the layout of the facility. This high cost, low revenue model makes costs higher for the airlines to operate, and therefore puts the airport at a competitive disadvantage for attracting new flights and business. Even though a $300+ million modernization has just been completed in advance of Super Bowl XLVII, the behind-the-wall infrastructure is in need of an overhaul. This became especially obvious during the renovation. According to the results of the analysis the north alternative will provide the best opportunity for revenue growth and sustainable operating costs, in addition to giving the Airport and region the best job and economic development potential. It is expected to create over 13,000 construction jobs.
The Northside terminal project will cost approximately $650 million with possible additions that include a $72 million power plant project, $87 million for a flyover addition from I-10 to improve access to the airport and $17 million for a potential on-site hotel. The total cost is estimated at $826 million. Pending completion of environmental reviews, which will include community engagement, construction is expected to commence in 2014 with a target completion date of May 2018 which coincidentally will be the 300 year anniversary of the City of New Orleans. The funding sources will come from various airport self-generated funds along with federal and state aviation grants. The City of New Orleans will not be funding any part of the new terminal projects. To streamline the remaining design and construction process, the City of New Orleans and New Orleans Aviation Board are seeking approval from the state legislature to use the Construction Manager At Risk method (SB 65 by Senator Ed Murray). The proposed terminal will be on the existing airport property.
Mayor Landrieu said, "The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport serves as a gateway to millions of tourists and business travelers each year and is a critical driver for the creation of jobs and economic development. It makes economic sense (to build the new terminal) and will create 13,000 jobs in construction. This project is about investing in the future." Kenner Mayor Mike Yenni said, "This couldn't come at a better time for the City of Kenner, which is also looking to embark on an ambitious beautification and improvement program for our major corridors and intersections." And St. Charles Parish President V.J. St. Pierre said, "As our region continues to grow, it is important for all of us to unite behind a modern terminal that will represent the strength of the entire Greater New Orleans region. In addition, the growth of the airport's multimodal cargo capabilities will continue to expand our thriving economy. This expansion will provide jobs and increased tax revenues for St. Charles Parish in a relatively short amount of time." City Council members from New Orleans and Kenner, the New Orleans Metro Legislative Delegation, regional civic, business and tourism leaders agree.
