General Scope
This policy covers personally identifiable information collected or stored by Y Worlds on its servers, office computers, storage media and printed media. Our policy is to retain the least amount of personally identifiable information needed.
The Public and Collaborative Nature of Y Worlds
Everything in Y Worlds is collaboratively developed by its users using Y Worlds software. Anyone with Internet access (and not otherwise restricted from doing so) may publicly submit contributions in the form of content, code, profiles, ideas and information to Y Worlds. This is a public act. All publishable contributions made to Y Worlds and all publicly available information about those contributions and contributors are irrevocably licensed and may be copied, quoted, reused and adapted by third parties subject to the commercial restrictions and attribution requirements in accordance with the Creative Commons License. See Creative Commons License.
In general, this privacy policy only applies to private information stored or held by Y Worlds which is not intended for publicly use. Such private information may include the user's email address, name, profile, mailing address, telephone number, and additional information supplied privately to Y Worlds.
Y Worlds may be viewed by anyone via the internet without registration.
Only the user's email address and name are required to register in order to fully participate and interactively use Y Worlds. All other information requested by Y Worlds is voluntary and subject to the choice and discretion of the user. The only personal information publicly accessible through Y Worlds will be the registered user name and any further information shared in public for public viewing by the user. In addition, Y Worlds may ask participants to respond to questions presented throughout the active web site that will ask for either public or private information. All requests for personal information that will be made public such as case studies will be identified as such, and all requests for personal information that will be kept private but used for statistical data gathering will similarly be identified as such.
Users may also interact with one another outside of Y Worlds or may contact specific groups of contributors and users acting independently of Y Worlds, via email, IRC or other chat, or independent websites. Users should assess the risks involved, and their personal need for privacy, before using these methods of communication.
User Accounts and Authorship
Anyone who participates in Y Worlds will be identified by network IP address. Users that do register are identified by their chosen username. Users select a password, which is confidential and used to verify the integrity of their account. Except insofar as it may be required by law, no person should disclose, or knowingly expose, either user passwords and/or cookies generated to identify a user. Once created, user accounts will not be removed.
Purpose of the Collection of Private Information
Y Worlds limits the collection of personally identifiable user data to purposes which serve the well-being of its initiatives, including but not limited to the following:
To enhance the public accountability of the projects. Y Worlds recognizes that any system that is open enough to allow the greatest possible participation of the general public will also be vulnerable to certain kinds of abuse and counterproductive behavior. We have established a number of mechanisms to prevent or remedy abusive activities. For example, when investigating abuse on a project, including the suspected use of malicious "sockpuppets" (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior, the IP addresses of users (derived either from those logs or from records in the database) may be used to identify the source(s) of the abusive behavior. This information may be shared by users with administrative and law enforcement authorities who are charged by with protecting individual rights and property.
To provide site statistics. Y Worlds statistically samples raw log data from users' visits. These logs are used to produce the site statistics pages; the raw log data is not made public.
To solve technical problems. Log data may be examined by developers in the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down badly-behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site.
To carry out the mission of the Cooperative.
Y Worlds is an active Cooperative and as such, it believes it is important for it to be able to contact all registered participants via their chosen methods of communications and their chosen degree of interaction. Y Worlds also believes participants who wish to contact other participants may do so by mutually agreeing to share email addresses and possibly other contact information. Participants who choose to share contact information directly with other participants are making such contact information public, and must consent to the risks and exposure associated with the sharing of such contact information. Participants may interact with Y Worlds in a variety of ways at a variety of different levels of access and authority. Y Worlds wishes to be able to reach all active registered participants through their email address for the purposes of direct communication relevant to the mission of Y Worlds. Such contacts will not be used for any third party solicitation and will not be shared in any way with any third party. In addition, but strictly voluntary, Y Worlds may also ask for and collect at the sole discretion of the participant such additional information as a participant profile, participant mailing address and phone number, and other voluntarily shared information pertaining to specific projects and missions.
Details of Data Retention
General Expectations
IP and Other Technical Information
When a visitor requests or reads a page, or sends email to a Y Worlds server, no more information is collected than is typically collected by web sites. Y Worlds may keep raw logs of such transactions, but these will not be published or used to track legitimate users.
When a page is edited by a logged-in editor, the server confidentially stores related IP information.
Y Worlds takes privacy very seriously and will follow best practices to prevent unauthorized access to private information both on and off computers.
The site may set a temporary session cookie on a visitor's computer whenever the site is visited or a page is visited. Contributors using a public machine who do not wish to show their username to future users of the machine should clear these cookies after use.
Users who provide a valid email address can enable other logged-in users to send email to them through the wiki. When receiving an email from other users through this system, one's email address is not revealed to them. When choosing to send an email to other users, one's email is displayed as the sender.
The email address put into one's user preferences may be used by Y Worlds for communication. Private correspondence between users may be saved at those users' discretion and is not subject to Y Worlds policy.
On mailing lists:
The email addresses used to subscribe and post are not exposed to other subscribers. The list archives of most such mailing lists are private. Only the username will be publicly visible. These email addresses and any messages sent to a mailing list may be archived by Y Worlds and used exclusively by Y Worlds for communication specifically related to the mission of Y Worlds and may remain available to Y Worlds permanently.
Access To and Release of Personally Identifiable Information
Y Worlds is primarily run by volunteer contributors. Some dedicated users are chosen by the community to be given privileged access.
Other users who may have access to private identifiable information include participants with Oversight functions, users selected to serve as editors or arbitrators, Y Worlds employees, trustees, appointees, partners, contractors and agents employed by Y Worlds, and developers and others with high levels of server access.
Sharing information with other privileged users is not considered "distribution."
Release: Policy on Release of Data
It is the policy of Y Worlds that personally identifiable data collected in the server logs, or through records in the database or through other non-publicly-available methods, may be released by Y Worlds volunteers or staff, in any of the following situations:
- In response to a valid compulsory request from law enforcement,
- With permission of the affected user,
- When necessary for investigation of abuse complaints,
- Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues,
- Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers,
- Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Y Worlds, its users or the public.
Except as described above, Y Worlds policy does not permit distribution of personally identifiable information under any circumstances.
Third-party access and notifying registered users when receiving legal process:
As a general principle, the access to, and retention of, personally identifiable data in all projects should be minimal and should be used only internally to serve the purposes of Y Worlds. Occasionally, however, Y Worlds may receive a compulsory request from a law-enforcement agency or a court or equivalent government body that requests the disclosure of information about a registered user, and may be compelled by law to comply with the request. In the event of such a legally compulsory request, Y Worlds will attempt to notify the affected user within three business days after the arrival of such subpoena by sending a notice by email to the email address (if any) that the affected user has listed in his or her user preferences.
Y Worlds believes that maintaining and preserving the privacy of user data is an important value. This Privacy Policy, together with other policies, resolutions, and actions by Y Worlds, represents a committed effort to safeguard the security of the limited user information that is collected and retained on our servers. Nevertheless, Y Worlds cannot guarantee that user information will remain private. We acknowledge that, in spite of our committed effort to protect private user information, determined individuals may still develop data-mining and other methods to uncover such information and disclose it. For this reason, Y Worlds can make no guarantee against unauthorized access to information provided.

Hulu, the online video on demand service, has withdrawn content from both Boxee, a connected media player application, and CBS' TV.com.
Hulu, a joint venture from NBC Universal and News Corp has stated: "Our content providers requested that we turn off access to our content via the Boxee product, and we are respecting their wishes".
In blog response the Boxee team said: "People love watching many of their favourite shows on Hulu via Boxee. Last week we generated more than 100,000 streams for them..."
"Two weeks ago Hulu called and told us their content partners were asking them to remove Hulu from Boxee. we tried (many times) to plead the case for keeping Hulu on Boxee, but on Friday of this week, in good faith, we will be removing it".
The Boxee move at least seems a reluctant one for Hulu, with Jason Kilar, the CEO of Hulu, ending his blog post with:
"For those Boxee users reading this post, we understand and appreciate that you're likely to tell us that we're nuts. Please know that we do share the same interests and won't stop innovating in support of the bigger mission".

In 1822 a French Physicist named Augustin Fresnel invented a lens that would make his name commonplace along the seacoasts of Europe and North America.
It looked like a giant glass beehive, with a light at the center.
The lens could be as tall as twelve feet, with concentric rings of glass prisms above and below to bend the light into a narrow beam.
At the center the lens was shaped like a magnifying glass, so the concentrated beam was even more powerful. ...
The Antikythera mechanism (pronounced /ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə/ AN-ti-ki-THEER-ə), is an ancient mechanical calculator (also described as the first known mechanical computer)[1][2] designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900–01 from the Antikythera wreck,[3] but its complexity and significance were not understood until decades later. It is now thought to have been built about 150–100 BC. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks appeared in Europe.[4]

- Signature syntax
- Anonymous Methods
- Options
- Differences from Perl 6
- BUGS, CAVEATS and NOTES
Method::Signatures - method and function declarations with signatures and no source filter
package Foo;
use Method::Signatures;
method new (%args) {
return bless {%args}, $self;
method get ($key) {
return $self->{$key};
method set ($key, $val) {
return $self->{$key} = $val;
# Can also get type checking if you like:
method set (Str $key, Int $val) {
return $self->{$key} = $val; # now you know $val is always an integer
func hello($greeting, $place) {
print "$greeting, $place!\n";
Provides two new keywords,
func and
method, so that you can write subroutines with signatures instead of having to spell out
my $self = shift; my($thing) = @_
func is like
sub but takes a signature where the prototype would normally go. This takes the place of
my($foo, $bar) = @_ and does a whole lot more.
method is like
func but specifically for making methods. It will automatically provide the invocant as
$self. No more
my $self = shift.
Also allows signatures, very similar to Perl 6 signatures.
Also does type checking, understanding all the types that Moose (or Mouse) would understand.
And it does all this with no source filters.
Signature syntax
func echo($message) {
print "$message\n";
is equivalent to:
sub echo {
my($message) = @_;
print "$message\n";
except the original line numbering is preserved and the arguments are checked to make sure they match the signature.
method foo($bar, $baz) {
$self->wibble($bar, $baz);
is equivalent to:
sub foo {
my $self = shift;
my($bar, $baz) = @_;
$self->wibble($bar, $baz);
again with checks to make sure the arguments passed in match the signature.
Other than removing
@_ is left intact. You are free to use
@_ alongside the arguments provided by Method::Signatures.
Named parameters
Parameters can be passed in named, as a hash, using the
:$arg syntax.
method foo(:$arg) {
$object->foo( arg => 42 );
Named parameters are optional by default.
Required positional parameters and named parameters can be mixed, but the named params must come last.
method foo( $a, $b, :$c ) # legal
Named parameters are passed in as a hash after all positional arguments.
method display( $text, :$justify = 'left', :$enchef = 0 ) {
# $text = "Some stuff", $justify = "right", $enchef = 0
$obj->display( "Some stuff", justify => "right" );
You cannot mix optional positional params with named params, as that leads to ambiguities.
method foo( $a, $b?, :$c ) # illegal
# Is this $a = 'c', $b = 42 or $c = 42?
$obj->foo( c => 42 );
Aliased references
A signature of
\@arg will take an array reference but allow it to be used as
@arg inside the method.
@arg is an alias to the original reference. Any changes to
@arg will affect the original reference.
package Stuff;
method add_one(\@foo) {
$_++ for @foo;
my @bar = (1,2,3);
Stuff->add_one(\@bar); # @bar is now (2,3,4)
Invocant parameter
The method invocant (i.e.
$self) can be changed as the first parameter. Put a colon after it instead of a comma.
method foo($class:) {
method stuff($class: $arg, $another) {
$class->things($arg, $another);
method has an implied default of
func has no invocant.
Each parameter can be given a default with the
$arg = EXPR syntax. For example,
method add($this = 23, $that = 42) {
return $this + $that;
Almost any expression can be used as a default.
method silly(
$num = 42,
$string = q[Hello, world!],
$hash = { this => 42, that => 23 },
$code = sub { $num + 4 },
@nums = (1,2,3),
Defaults will only be used if the argument is not passed in at all. Passing in
undef will override the default. That means...
Class->add(); # $this = 23, $that = 42
Class->add(99); # $this = 99, $that = 42
Class->add(99, undef); # $this = 99, $that = undef
Earlier parameters may be used in later defaults.
method copy_cat($this, $that = $this) {
return $that;
Any variable that has a default is considered optional.
Type Constraints
Parameters can also be given type constraints. If they are, the value passed in will be validated against the type constraint provided. Types are provided by Any::Moose which will load Mouse if Moose is not already loaded.
Type constraints can be a type, a role or a class. Each will be checked in turn until one of them passes.
* First, is the $value of that type declared in Moose (or Mouse)?
* Then, does the $value have that role?
* Finally, is the $value an object of that class?
The set of default types that are understood can be found in Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints (or Moose::Util::TypeConstraints; they are generally the same, but there may be small differences).
# avoid "argument isn't numeric" warnings
method add(Int $this = 23, Int $that = 42) {
return $this + $that;
Mouse and Moose also understand some parameterized types; see their documentation for more details.
method add(Int $this = 23, Maybe[Int] $that) {
# $this will definitely be defined
# but $that might be undef
return defined $that ? $this + $that : $this;
You may also use disjunctions, which means that you are willing to accept a value of either type.
method add(Int $this = 23, Int|ArrayRef[Int] $that) {
# $that could be a single number,
# or a reference to an array of numbers
use List::Util qw<sum>;
my @ints = ($this);
push @ints, ref $that ? @$that : $that;
return sum(@ints);
If the value does not validate against the type, a run-time exception is thrown.
# Error will be:
# In call to Class::add : the 'this' parameter ("cow") is not of type Int
Class->add('cow', 'boy'); # make a cowboy!
You cannot declare the type of the invocant.
# this generates a compile-time error
method new(ClassName $class:) {
Parameter traits
Each parameter can be assigned a trait with the
$arg is TRAIT syntax.
method stuff($this is ro) {
Any unknown trait is ignored.
Most parameters have a default traits of
is rw is copy.
- ro
Read-only. Assigning or modifying the parameter is an error.
- rw
Read-write. It's ok to read or write the parameter.
This is a default trait.
- copy
The parameter will be a copy of the argument (just like
my $arg = shift).
This is a default trait except for the
- alias
The parameter will be an alias of the argument. Any changes to the parameter will be reflected in the caller.
This is a default trait for the
Traits and defaults
To have a parameter which has both a trait and a default, set the trait first and the default second.
method echo($message is ro = "what?") {
return $message
Think of it as
$message is ro being the left-hand side of the assignment.
Slurpy parameters
A "slurpy" parameter is a list or hash parameter that "slurps up" all remaining arguments. Since any following parameters can't receive values, there can be only one slurpy parameter.
Slurpy parameters must come at the end of the signature and they must be positional.
Slurpy parameters are optional by default.
Required and optional parameters
Parameters declared using
$arg! are explicitly required. Parameters declared using
$arg? are explicitly optional. These declarations override all other considerations.
A parameter is implictly optional if it is a named parameter, has a default, or is slurpy. All other parameters are implicitly required.
# $greeting is optional because it is named
method hello(:$greeting) { ... }
# $greeting is required because it is positional
method hello($greeting) { ... }
# $greeting is optional because it has a default
method hello($greeting = "Gruezi") { ... }
# $greeting is required because it is explicitly declared using !
method hello(:$greeting!) { ... }
# $greeting is required, even with the default, because it is
# explicitly declared using !
method hello(:$greeting! = "Gruezi") { ... }
@_ signature
The @_ signature is a special case which only shifts
$self. It leaves the rest of
@_ alone. This way you can get $self but do the rest of the argument handling manually.
The empty signature
If a method is given the signature of
() or no signature at all, it takes no arguments.
Anonymous Methods
An anonymous method can be declared just like an anonymous sub.
my $method = method ($arg) {
return $self->foo($arg);
Method::Signatures takes some options at `use` time of the form
use Method::Signatures { option => "value", ... };
By default, named methods and funcs are evaluated at compile time, as if they were in a BEGIN block, just like normal Perl named subs. That means this will work:
# This function is compiled first
func echo($msg) { print $msg }
You can turn this off lexically by setting compile_at_BEGIN to a false value.
use Method::Signatures { compile_at_BEGIN => 0 };
compile_at_BEGIN currently causes some issues when used with Perl 5.8. See "Earlier Perl versions".
When true, turns on debugging messages about compiling methods and funcs. See DEBUGGING. The flag is currently global, but this may change.
Differences from Perl 6
Method::Signatures is mostly a straight subset of Perl 6 signatures. The important differences...
Restrictions on named parameters
As noted above, there are more restrictions on named parameters than in Perl 6.
Named parameters are just hashes
Perl 5 lacks all the fancy named parameter syntax for the caller.
Parameters are copies.
In Perl 6, parameters are aliases. This makes sense in Perl 6 because Perl 6 is an "everything is an object" language. Perl 5 is not, so parameters are much more naturally passed as copies.
You can alias using the "alias" trait.
Can't use positional params as named params
Perl 6 allows you to use any parameter as a named parameter. Perl 5 lacks the named parameter disambiguating syntax so it is not allowed.
Addition of the
\@foo reference alias prototype
In Perl 6, arrays and hashes don't get flattened, and their referencing syntax is much improved. Perl 5 has no such luxury, so Method::Signatures added a way to alias references to normal variables to make them easier to work with.
Addition of the
@_ prototype
Method::Signatures lets you punt and use @_ like in regular Perl 5.
There is no run-time performance penalty for using this module above what it normally costs to do argument handling.
There is also no run-time penalty for type-checking if you do not declare types. The run-time penalty if you do declare types should be very similar to using Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints (or Moose::Util::TypeConstraints) directly, and should be faster than using a module such as MooseX::Params::Validate. The magic of Any::Moose is used to give you the lightweight Mouse if you have not yet loaded Moose, or the full-bodied Moose if you have.
Type-checking modules are not loaded until run-time, so this is fine:
use Method::Signatures;
use Moose;
# you will still get Moose type checking
# (assuming you declare one or more methods with types)
One of the best ways to figure out what Method::Signatures is doing is to run your code through B::Deparse (run the code with -MO=Deparse).
Setting the
METHOD_SIGNATURES_DEBUG environment variable will cause Method::Signatures to display debugging information when it is compiling signatures.
Here's an example of a method which displays some text and takes some extra options.
use Method::Signatures;
method display($text is ro, :$justify = "left", :$fh = \*STDOUT) {
# $text = $stuff, $justify = "left" and $fh = \*STDOUT
# $text = $stuff, $justify = "left" and $fh = \*STDERR
$obj->display($stuff, fh => \*STDERR);
# error, missing required $text argument
The display() method is equivalent to all this code.
sub display {
my $self = shift;
croak('display() missing required argument $text') unless @_ > 0;
const my $text = $_[0];
my(%args) = @_[1 .. $#_];
my $justify = exists $args{justify} ? $args{justify} : 'left';
my $fh = exists $args{fh} ? $args{'fh'} : \*STDOUT;
If you want to experiment with the prototype syntax, start with
Method::Signatures::parse_func. It takes a method prototype and returns a string of Perl 5 code which will be placed at the beginning of that method.
If you would like to try to provide your own type checking, subclass Method::Signatures and either override
type_check or
inject_for_type_check. See "EXTENDING", below.
This interface is experimental, unstable and will change between versions.
If you wish to subclass Method::Signatures, the following methods are good places to start.
too_many_args_error, named_param_error, required_arg, type_error
These are class methods which report the various run-time errors (extra parameters, unknown named parameter, required parameter missing, and parameter fails type check, respectively). Note that each one calls
signature_error, which your versions should do as well.
This is a class method which calls
die and reports the error as being from the caller's perspective. Most likely you will not need to override this. If you'd like to have Method::Signatures errors give full stack traces (similar to
$Carp::Verbose), have a look at Carp::Always.
This is a class method which is called to verify that parameters have the proper type. If you want to change the way that Method::Signatures does its type checking, this is most likely what you want to override. It calls
type_error (see above).
This is the object method that actually inserts the call to "type_check" into your Perl code. Most likely you will not need to override this, but if you wanted different parameters passed into
type_check, this would be the place to do it.
BUGS, CAVEATS and NOTES
Please report bugs and leave feedback at <bug-Method-Signatures> at <rt.cpan.org>. Or use the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org. Report early, report often.
One liners
If you want to write "use Method::Signatures" in a one-liner, do a
-MMethod::Signatures first. This is due to a bug/limitation in Devel::Declare.
No source filter
While this module does rely on the black magic of Devel::Declare to access Perl's own parser, it does not depend on a source filter. As such, it doesn't try to parse and rewrite your source code and there should be no weird side effects.
Devel::Declare only affects compilation. After that, it's a normal subroutine. As such, for all that hairy magic, this module is surprisingly stable.
Earlier Perl versions
In Perl 5.8.x, parsing of methods at compile-time has intermittent issues, at least for versions of Devel::BeginLift 0.001003 and before. It's possible it will be fixed in future versions of Devel::BeginLift.
The most noticable is if an error occurs at compile time, such as a strict error, perl might not notice until it tries to compile something else via an
eval or
require at which point perl will appear to fail where there is no reason to fail.
We recommend you use the compile_at_BEGIN flag to turn off compile-time parsing.
Method::Signatures cannot be used with Perl versions prior to 5.8 because Devel::Declare does not work with those earlier versions.
What about class methods?
Right now there's nothing special about class methods. Just use
$class as your invocant like the normal Perl 5 convention.
There may be special syntax to separate class from object methods in the future.
What about the return value?
Currently there is no support for declaring the type of the return value.
How does this relate to Perl's built-in prototypes?
It doesn't. Perl prototypes are a rather different beastie from subroutine signatures. They don't work on methods anyway.
A syntax for function prototypes is being considered.
func($foo, $bar?) is proto($;$)
Error checking
Here's some additional checks I would like to add, mostly to avoid ambiguous or non-sense situations.
* If one positional param is optional, everything to the right must be optional
method foo($a, $b?, $c?) # legal
method bar($a, $b?, $c) # illegal, ambiguous
->bar(1,2) mean $a = 1 and $b = 2 or $a = 1, $c = 3?
* Positionals are resolved before named params. They have precedence.
Slurpy parameter restrictions
Slurpy parameters are currently more restricted than they need to be. It is possible to work out a slurpy parameter in the middle, or a named slurpy parameter. However, there's lots of edge cases and possible nonsense configurations. Until that's worked out, we've left it restricted.
What about...
Method traits are in the pondering stage.
An API to query a method's signature is in the pondering stage.
Now that we have method signatures, multi-methods are a distinct possibility.
Applying traits to all parameters as a short-hand?
# Equivalent?
method foo($a is ro, $b is ro, $c is ro)
method foo($a, $b, $c) is ro
Role::Basic roles are currently not recognized by the type system.
A "go really fast" switch. Turn off all runtime checks that might bite into performance.
Method traits.
method add($left, $right) is predictable # declarative
method add($left, $right) is cached # procedural
# (and Perl 6 compatible)
Most of this module is based on or copied from hard work done by many other people.
All the really scary parts are copied from or rely on Matt Trout's, Florian Ragwitz's and Rhesa Rozendaal's Devel::Declare work.
The prototype syntax is a slight adaptation of all the excellent work the Perl 6 folks have already done.
The type checking and method modifier work was supplied by Buddy Burden (barefootcoder). Thanks to this, you can now use Method::Signatures (or, more properly, Method::Signatures::Modifiers) instead of MooseX::Method::Signatures, which fixes many of the problems commonly attributed to MooseX::Declare.
Also thanks to Matthijs van Duin for his awesome Data::Alias which makes the
\@foo signature work perfectly and Sub::Name which makes the subroutine names come out right in caller().
And thanks to Florian Ragwitz for his parallel MooseX::Method::Signatures module from which I borrow ideas and code and Devel::BeginLift which lets the methods be declared at compile time.
The original code was taken from Matt S. Trout's tests for Devel::Declare.

River Nar
The River Nar (west Norfolk) has, in recent years, been subject to extensive and intensive investigation relating to its management, nature conservation and fishery interest as well as determining how landowners and the general public treat and regard the river. The investigations, subsequent consultations and attempts to implement rehabilitation measures, indicate an overwhelming high regard for the river and a desire to enable protection and improvements when, and wherever, possible. The whole river is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The way to a healthy river
Chalk-streams are globally rare river systems. Most flow through southern England. The River Nar is arguably Norfolk's most unspoilt and beautiful chalk river. And yet it is not without its problems and challenges. This Plan is designed to help us preserve and enhance its rich and diverse ecology, to achieve what is termed "Good Ecological Status or Potential" (GES or GEP) under the European Water Framework Directive.

The official inflation rate in Italy has risen to 4.1 per cent in July, more than double what it should be in the euro zone. If the trend continued, it would make the annual inflation rate 3.5 per cent. However, if the price rise calculation is based on products which people buy frequently, then the inflation rate is 6.1 per cent. (The official figures include many products, such as white goods and televisions, which people buy only once every few years.) Alcoholic drinks and tobacco rose by 2 per cent in July; rent, water, electricity and fuel by 8.6 per cent; transport by 7 per cent and food and non-alcoholic drinks by 6.3 per cent.

Which Cast Member Is Best at Defending The Killing?
"You realize it's not your daughter that was murdered?"
As Vulture pointed out earlier today, The Killing nabbed multiple Emmy nominations this morning, including an Outstanding Lead Actress nod for Mireille Enos, who plays detective Sarah Linden, and an Outstanding Supporting Actress nod for Michelle Forbes, who plays Mitch Larsen. Other than the goodwill and cheer presumably currently being spread in the Enos and Forbes households, the great thing about these nominations is that they give reporters a whole new reason to call up The Killing actors and get them to defend their show since that infamous ending. So: whose defense is best?
Mireille Enos feels vindicated. To the New York Times:
"I was really happy with the end of the season. I thought it was really smart television and smart storytelling to create a cliffhanger like that." The strong reactions to the finale, positive as well as negative, "just speak volumes to how the show has gotten under people's skin," she said, adding: "I wasn't worried for one second that it would have influence on these awards and certainly not on my portrayal. I thought people could probably keep that real separate.
Michelle Forbes doesn't try too hard. To Awards Tracker:
I was quite aware of the backlash, but I tried to stay out of the fray. Am I sounding like a politician?
Joel Kinnaman, a.k.a. Homeboy Stephen Holder, wasn't even nominated, but he got in on the action too. To Show Tracker:
People expect closure and when they don't get it, there's going to be frustration. I anticipated some of that. But not to this extent ... Maybe some people are so ... off where they say they're not going to watch it. But two episodes in they're going to listen to the people who are tuning in and come back.
Joel Kinnaman, a.k.a. Homeboy Stephen Holder, wasn't even nominated, but he got in on the action too. To Show Tracker:
There were a couple of people who came up to me so disturbed. And I was like, 'You realize it's not your daughter that was murdered?'
Not your daughter! Good one, Joel. Killing it, even off-screen. But wait. There's one more. An oldie, but a goodie. Take it away, Killing showrunner Veena Sud:
Either it's a left brain journey where you're just connecting the dots of who the suspects are or it's more of a holistic journey where a young girl is murdered these are the potential suspects and this is why.
Holistic journey! So good! And that's the ballgame. Thanks for playing, everyone.

Unfortunately, the problem persists. The card's performing well in its benchmarks though, getting a minimum of 150 FPS with 8x MSAA.
The problem only occurs when Aero mode is on, and/or there's a GPU-"intense" program running (as in more GPU-instense than running the desktop), i.e. a game, Google Chrome, etc.
I'll call EVGA again in the morning, and I'll update the drivers again tonight.
What's funny though, is when it's running the benchmarks, the artifacts disappear until I open another GPU-"intense" program. The benchmark is reporting anywhere from 0 to 7 to 20,000 artifacts at times during the test though.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- New claims for jobless benefits dropped more than expected last week as the impact of two hurricanes in September faded.
The Labor Department says initial claims for unemployment insurance last week fell 16,000 to a seasonally adjusted level of 461,000. That's below analysts' expectations of 475,000.
Despite the decline, the total remains at levels economists associate with a recession and is high by historical standards. Last year, claims stood at 338,000.

2012 Central Texas Annual Conference
Central Texas Annual Conference
June 3 6, Waco, Texas
There was something special in the air in Waco, Texas, on the evening of Sunday June 3, and it wasn't the syrupy sweetness from the local Dr Pepper bottling plant. Rather, it was a spirit of anticipation, a spirit of excitement and a spirit of possibility that permeated the halls and sanctuary of Austin Avenue United Methodist Church as the members and guests of the 2012 Central Texas Annual Conference gathered for Opening Worship. These feelings, fostered by a year of living in and working under the direction set forth by the Exodus Project, were nothing but bolstered during the rousing and inspirational service featuring music from the choir of St. James UMC in Temple, Texas, and Worship Arts of St. Andrews UMC in Arlington, Texas, and the message from Conference Preacher Dr. Joy Moore.
A purposeful and well-planned agenda designed to transform the feel of Annual Conference from that of a business-only meeting to a time of learning, celebration and worship in which the necessary business of the conference is efficiently completed helped ensure that the spirit of Opening Worship was carried throughout the three-day meeting. Besides the inspiring messages brought forth by Dr. Moore, those assembled were treated to teachings from Dr. Gil Rendle regarding the "wilderness" times the conference and the church in general now face due to the changing world around us. As in past years, the Clergy and Lay Memorial worship service, the Retirement Service of Honor and Gratitude and the Service of Commissioning and Ordination served to remind the Annual Conference members of our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. However, it was the Service of Repentance, designed to recognize and repent for actions taken against the native peoples of all nations that moved those gathered in surprising and profound ways.
In his Episcopal Address, Bishop J. Michael Lowry, who is completing is first quadrennium as the conference's episcopal leader, continued to set the direction for the conference as one that is missionally focused and adaptive to the challenges and changes faced by the church in a "post-Christendom" world.
During his address Bishop Lowry shared the narratives of three souls within the conference that illustrate how the church can and is changing lives. By illustrating the dire need for vital congregations with some alarming statistics that showed a decline in U.S. worship attendance of nearly 300,000, he pressed a call to redirect the flow of attention, energy and resources of the conference on fostering, sustaining and increasing the number of vital congregations effective in making disciples of Jesus Christ. After celebrating the progress made throughout the conference in the areas of professions of faith (+28%), baptisms (+25%), confirmation classes (+102%), churches with gains in worship attendance (+133%), churches with at least one mission team (+68%) and churches engaged in community Outreach, Justice and Mercy ministries (+41%), Bishop Lowry shared several of the learnings from the past year and detailed how we would address what isn't working and cultivate those processes that have been fruitful.
While many of the ministries and missions of the conference were celebrated throughout the meeting, a few special awards and acknowledgments were bestowed on members of the Central Texas Conference during the meetings, including
The Harry Denman Evangelism Awards, recognizing those whose life and ministry exemplifies the teaching of Christ and the Great Commission, were presented to the Rev. Denise Bell-Blakely, pastor, Mt. Zion/Perry Chapel UMC, Waco, Texas (clergy recipient) and Seth William Locke, DeLeon First UMC, DeLeon, Texas (youth/laity recipient)
The Morris Walker Award, given by the Conference Board of Laity to those who demonstrate "above and beyond" service to their local church, community and conference, was conferred to Bliss Dodd, a member of First Fort Worth UMC;
The Conference Merit Award, given to a student headed to a United Methodist affiliated school, was given to Forrest Stanley-Stevens of First Stephenville UMC;
- The third annual Bishop's Excellence in Preaching Award was presented to Rev. Quinton J. Gibson, senior pastor, St. James UMC, Temple, Texas.
The Bishop also took a few moments of personal privilege to share a special word of thanks and gratitude to outgoing conference Lay Leader, Steve McIver for his eight years of outstanding service as CTC Lay and Assistant Lay Leader.
Of course, in between the worship, teaching sessions and celebrations, the business of the conference was conducted. The main points of business prayerfully considered and/or voted upon during the three-day session included
the public endorsement of Rev. Dr. Mike McKee as the conference's official episcopal candidate to the South Central Jurisdictional Conference;
the hearing and approval of reports from the Center for Evangelism and Church Growth, Center for Leadership and Center for Mission Support, as well as the Cabinet, the Board of Ordained Ministry and the Conference Core Leadership Team;
updates on the progress of and new classes for the Healthy Church Initiative;
updates on the progress made towards the goals set forth by the Exodus Project;
an update on how far the conference has come against its giving goal for Imagine No Malaria (to date the conference has given more than $440,000 nearly half-way to achieving our 5-year goal in just two years);
the passing of a budget of approximately $9.75 million for the conference the fifth consecutive year that the conference has passed a budget lower than the year previous;
and the approval of relocation of the Conference Service Center to a new building being built on the campus of Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bishop Lowry ordained nine elders and three deacons and commissioned five others into the ministry of elder or deacon. The membership of the conference stands at 166,532, which is an increase from 2010 and the 38th consecutive year of membership growth for the Central Texas Conference. The average weekly worship attendance stands at 46,607, down 313 persons. While the church school membership numbers rose 5,287 persons for a total of 63,076, average attendance saw a loss of 751 for an average of 21,562 in attendance each week.
J. Vance Morton, director of communications & IT, Central Texas Conference

Animal and Insect Bites
Bites cause wounds that need treatment. Additionally, an animal's mouth contains bacteria that may cause infections, such as rabies or tetanus.
What to do
Flush the wound with water, cleanse with mild soap and wash the area thoroughly. If the skin is broken, move the area as little as possible and have it examined by a physician.
For pet bites, your physician may recommend bringing the animal to your veterinarian so that the animal can be kept under surveillance.
For wild-animal bites, call animal control or if you have restrained the animal (not recommended), turn it over to animal control authorities.
Although rabies infections in people are rare, they cause serious health problems. Any animal bites, even those that do not involve rabies, can lead to infections and other medical problems. Contact your physician immediately.
Bee and Insect stings
The danger of bee stings:
The two greatest risks from most insect stings are allergic reaction (which, in some individuals, can be fatal) and infection (more common and less serious).
What to do if you are stung:
If you have been stung by a bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket, follow these instructions closely:
- Bees leave behind a stinger attached to a venom sac. Do not try to pull it out as this may release more venom; instead gently scrape it out with a blunt-edged object, such as a credit card.
- Wash the area carefully with soap and water. This should be continued several times a day until the skin is healed.
- To relieve swelling and itching, apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth for a few minutes. Use a Benadryl type cream or calamine lotion for the itching.
- Take acetaminophen for pain. Make sure to follow dosage instructions for children.
When to seek medical attention:
Seek immediate medical attention if you are stung in the mouth or nose as swelling may block airways. Also seek emergency care if any of the following symptoms are present, as these could indicate an allergic reaction:
- large areas of swelling
- abnormal breathing
- tightness in throat or chest
- dizziness
- hives
- fainting
- nausea or vomiting
- persistent pain or swelling

Antalya RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Antalya Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, July 2015
Day 1: Archaeology: Dig It!
Close by to Antalya are two important historical sites, and you can visit them in one day. Perge is the place where most of the statues that are on display in Antalya Museum were unearthed. An important city of ancient Parnphylia, it was originally settled by the Hittites around 1500 BC. Here you'll find carvings, an intact city gate and a long colonnaded road once paved with mosaics and lined with shops, a large agora, the public baths and a gymnasium.
Side is a pretty resort town. Its ancient ruins, two sandy beaches, numerous shops and extensive tourist accommodation attract hundreds of visitors. The extensive Roman baths are now a museum, which houses one of Turkey's finest archaeological collections.
Day 2: The Old Quarter
Kaleiçi is the historical quarter of Antalya, and one of the major reasons for the city's tourism-led renaissance. A sensitive restoration has made the most of a stunning Roman-Ottoman district whose walls once repelled raiders but now serve to keep traffic out of its narrow streets and courtyards. Spend a day wandering its shops and end up looking at the view of mountains and harbor over your drink.
Day 3: Go Marine
One of Antalya's greatest beauties is its coast. Spend the morning lapping up the fun at Beach Park, with its aquariums, restaurants and shops, then take a tour out to Kekova Island and snorkel the remains of the sunken city of Simena.

The ACE Fiduciary Group was created to provide collaborative support services to fiduciaries in Northern and Southern California, including marketing and branding. The corporation does not provide fiduciary services. Instead, member professional fiduciaries offer fiduciary services to their clients. The ACE Fiduciary Group give member fiduciaries the advantage of shared marketing, advertising and shared overhead costs, whenever possible.
Like A Doctor's Group Practice
Just as in a doctor's group practice, each professional fiduciary manages cases and their work as they deem appropriate. They may choose to contract with The ACE Fiduciary Group corporation to provide certain, contractual services to help them market and do their work more effectively. We offer monthly collaboration meetings to develop shared templates and processes making it easier for fiduciaries to get up and running. Each fiduciary is free to use the collaborative process and templates as they wish. We provide a regular accountability to each other and the opportunity to build trusted relationships with colleagues, thus making succession planning much easier to navigate.
Marketing 101: Mindshare equals Marketshare
In the world of business building, it is important to capture mindshare in order to bring the type of business you seek to your door. The ACE Fiduciary Group offers a way to communicate with our marketplace. We can more easily educate the public and referral sources about the skills and services of member fiduciaries because we get to know each other. We are building a premier service business in this field.
Criteria for Member Associates
We are actively seeking experienced professional fiduciaries who want to leverage cutting edge collaborative marketing methods. You might be a perfect fit if you have additional educational training; have gotten started on your 10,000+ hours of practice in this field; and, bring a desire to focus your on developing your practice while collaborating with other exceptional fiduciaries. Experience the best of a solo practice combined with the best of a group approach.
We are currently seeking the right mix of experienced, licensed fiduciary working in Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Marin, Napa, Santa Clara or Solano County and feel you are qualified and want more information, please - Contact Us with the a note "I am a fiduciary. Let's talk about The ACE Fiduciary Group."
Like A Therapy Group Practice
Fiduciaries serve as "feet on the ground" to the many needs of our clients. We offer good judgment and an ability to manage through the entire estate process. Many newer fiduciaries do not have an opportunity to gain real life training and experience before taking on cases. This can lead to a legal or ethical nightmare for both clients and the new fiduciary.
As fiduciaries we need to know the potential liability of our cases. This potential liability can be lessened with practical, supervised training. The ACE Fiduciary Group is currently engaged in forming ways to offer in-person mentoring and training to new fiduciaries.
Like licensed therapists who are required to take a certain number of hours under the supervision of an experienced therapist, we want to encourage our profession to provide oversight and more methods to develop skills. This allows clients to receive adequate service while newer fiduciaries to receive in-depth training. If you are interested in our internship program, Contact Us with the Subject Line re: New Master Class.
Is it a Service or Is it a Business?
Services can be a businesses. Businesses can offer services. But, the service offered by professional fiduciaries is best when offered as part of a collaborative group; formed to support each other and present the marketplace with the right information to select just the right choice.
Consider joining the ACE Fiduciary Group to help you excel in your practice and make an even more positive impact on the lives of those who need your services. Only an established professional business structure can give you the boost you need.

Those schooled in traditional IT capacity management have long recognised the cause and effect of observed system behaviour. Few have managed to bridge the gap in quantifying the correlation, however, and for good reason. Straying too deep into this territory can leave you struggling with data overload, and no way of mapping volumetric and utilization data together. The age of the CMDB and automated discovery and mapping has changed the landscspe in thus regard. Finally, using configuration mapping to correlate volumetric data against utilization data can be done reliably, consistently and accurately since all feeds are automated.
Correlating service throughput against observed utilization provides intelligence to optimise design, streamline performance, & predict and optimize application scalability. But in a consumer/provider scenario there are two contexts to consider. Presenting the customer with data about your underlying infrastructure utilisation lays bare the margin or risk levels of your operating model. Equally, the customer's main concern is ensuring their service levels are not jeopardised, and they are not burdened with excessive costs for underutilized environments.
Despite the advantages commonly sought in quantifying the capacity of the physical environment, it is the capacity of the contractual environment that is crucial to the customer. In a cloud context, the provider must diligently ensure the reliability if their operating model. This is crucial to brand equity. But the customer's primary concern will be in managing the flexibility of their service based contract, and ensuring that risks are properly balanced against costs.

We're trying something different for our monthly happy hour this month. Research shows that people start self-censoring when they place themselves in some kind of professional "pecking order." Networking events can create this order and make conversation feel forced and even limited. That's not what we're about. Let's take a break from making connections and spend some time cultivating genuine relationships!
The New York chapters of Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP NY) and Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP) invite you to just be peoples for a night.
How to play Peoples is Peoples:
1. We cannot talk about our profession or professional experience.
2. We may not trade business cards.
3. We may reveal our professional identity, if we wish, at the end of the night.
4. Participants will be connected in an email following the event.
We will offer authentic Italian food when you buy at least a drink with $7 spritz and $6 wine specials for attendees.
Open to YPFP members and nonmembers. To RSVP as a member, sign into your YPFP member account and register. If you're not a member, you may RSVP through this Google Form: http://goo.gl/forms/IMQeNy93Dy
As usual, feel free to spread the word to friends and coworkers! No need to be a member to attend -- but consider becoming a YPFP NY member today. Don't miss this unique "un-networking" opportunity!

If you lose or break your iPhone and you're on the look out to replace it, it doesn't mean you have to buy a new one. There are plenty of used iPhones available on the market, and given that some people go so far as to buy a new iPhone every time Apple releases an update, many aren't even that heavily used.
Recently, I found myself in need of a new iPhone. Rather than pony up for a brand new model, I entered the potentially shady world of the used iPhone market. I learned that if I used common sense—and sought out return polices—it was possible to find a worthy replacement from the scores of phones available for resale.
Sizing up the situation
Mobile carriers heavily subsidize the new iPhones customers buy with a contract. A 16GB iPhone 4S may require small monthly payments with a two-year contract, but that same phone without a new contract costs a whopping $799. Likewise, an 8GB iPhone 4 will run you $679 without.
I didn't want to spend $799, and I'm not upgrade eligible for another nine months, so I couldn't start a new contract. That meant I needed to find a used phone.
My criteria seemed simple: an iPhone in good condition that would work as well as I've come to expect from my previous devices: reliable cell network reception, a battery that can go a day of use without recharge, and no scratches that mar the visibility of the screen.
If you're in a similar situation, I'm glad to report you can find a used iPhone in good condition. Here are some of the things to look out for as you shop.
Before you buy
As you start looking for a used iPhone, keep these things in mind:
Stay in network: If you're under contract, find an iPhone that already works on your network. It's easier. You might be able unlock the used iPhone that you buy, but that doesn't work reliably. You can, of course, always decide to leave your current carrier, but you'll likely be charged an early termination fee (ETF), which can often run in the hundreds of dollars.
Check warranty and support status: If you're looking for an iPhone that is under warranty, enter the serial number at Apple's site to find the current support and service status of the unit. (Not an option if you can't get the serial number before purchase, of course.)
Consider which model you need: The older the model, the less you'll pay. The iPhone 4S costs a premium on the used market – usually $350 or more. I found that a used iPhone 4 usually costs $80 to $100 less than a 4S; an iPhone 3GS was a similar amount less than the iPhone 4.
Buying options
I found three kinds of sources for used iPhones: local sellers, auction sites, and fixed priced sites. Each had its own pros and cons.
Local sellers: This group included friends and friends of friends, but mostly relied on Gumtree. I saw the cheapest prices here, but I also encountered the shadiest practices. Those listing the cheapest phones rarely responded, and I wondered if they were just collecting email addresses for spammers.
Friends who bought iPhones through Gumtree told me that they later found some flaws with the phones, such as the phone not receiving calls well. So be cautious: Question the seller's motivation for part with a phone in good working order. In the world of local sellers, if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Fixed-priced sites: These are sites where the seller sets the price, like the used section of Amazon.com. I found the most expensive prices at these sites.
On the upside, these sites generally include a return policy of some kind—an important safety net when dealing with used items. Amazon.com's Marketplace comprises a mix of reseller companies and individuals, but all come with ratings to help assess trustworthiness, and Amazon.com guarantees the quality of the product will match the description.
Auction sites: On auction sites, bidders set the price based on demand—the more people who want an item, the higher the price goes. After watching several auctions, I found that most phones end up selling within a $50 range and were almost always less expensive than fixed-priced sites—and sometimes even less than what local sellers were asking. Auction sites, such as eBay, also offer the additional advantage of seller ratings, so you can see what kind of person you're doing business with.
Trust, but verify
When you first get your hands on the iPhone, you should run it through a checklist to figure out if it's up to snuff. If you're buying from a local seller, you may not get the chance to do all these, but some examination is better than none. Here are some things to look for:
Examine the exterior and connections: Look for scratches or chips in the glass. Does the dock connector show noticeable wear? Plug it into charger to make sure it will take a charge. Listen to music through the headphone jack.
Look at the display: Check for dead pixels or colour issues. The easiest way to do this is probably to visit the iPhone Dead Pixel Tester, which lets you set the screen to a solid colour and make sure there are no stuck pixels.
Surf the Web over Wi-Fi and the cell network: Ideally use the phone in an area where you know what kind of coverage you used to get.
Make a call, send a text: See how the phone handles common tasks and ensure the cell connection and antenna work.
Take a picture: Make sure the image doesn't show any visual oddities like smudges.
Check the battery: In Settings -> General -> Usage, check the time since last full charge. If you have a return option, charge the phone to full then use it normally for a day or two. See if you are getting the battery life you expected.
The answer?
All, one or none of the options may work for you, but as long as you are vigilant in your research you should find your next iPhone at a price that suits. It's a risky buyers world out there, good luck.
For those looking to buy or sell an used iPhone, head to mResell.

Truffle Twice Baked Potaoes
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I adore potatoes cooked just about any way. And let's be honest, everything is better with truffles. The truffle oil in this recipe is an inexpensive alternative for getting huge flavor on a small budget. These are great because they are easy to make in advance and then serve for a dinner party or holiday. You can also multiply the recipe to serve a huge crowd! Sometimes I substitute mini potatoes and serve them as a hearty little nibble for a cocktail party. Enjoy! —KateSmith
Makes: 10 side dish portions
Medium Red Potatoes
ounces Marscapone Cheese at room temperature
cup Parmesan-grated
teaspoons truffle infused oil
tablespoons olive oil
teaspoon dijon mustard
cup whole milk
tablespoons chopped chives (plus more to garnish)
salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat Oven to 400 degrees Prick potatoes with a fork and then coat them in olive oil. Place in a baking pan and bake for 45 minutes, flipping at least once throughout the process to cook evenly
- Once potatoes are cooked, remove and let cool about 10 minutes, or until you can comfortably touch them.
- When the Potatoes are cool, cut in half and gently scoop out the filling of 5 of the 6, and add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Peel the 6th and add the peel free potato to the bowl. Add the Marscapone, Milk, Mustard and Truffle oil and mix until fluffy (apx 3 min). Add Parmesan and chives and scrape down sides of the bowl, whisk for an additional minute 30sec-1min until combined.
- Meanwhile, place the potato skins on a baking sheet. Fill the skins with the truffle marscapone filling and bake for another 10 minutes. Turn the broiler on, and continue to cook for another few minutes until the top is browned. Remove from oven, garnish with additional chopped chives and serve 1 half per person.

Delicate Arch appears after a slick rock hike at Arches National Park. (Photo: delicate arch, arches national park,utah/arizona, image by Albo from Fotolia.com )
Vacation in Utah's outback where the Green and Colorado Rivers meet. Moab is an all-season destination, popularized by slick rock bikers--high-endurance mountain bikers who traverse long-distance routes over the natural rock formations. While in Moab, visitors can procure jeep tours or rent bikes and light watercraft. Accommodations are plentiful, from high-end resorts to affordable lodges. Note that the weather is extreme, with the potential of excruciatingly hot summers, so dress accordingly.
Located only five miles north of Moab, Arches National Park has a single two-lane road that explores the interior, ending at Devil's Garden Campground. Devil's Garden Trail is a seven-mile loop to and around eight separate arches. Visitors can view Delicate Arch by taking the Wolfe Ranch spur two miles to a parking area. The trailhead to the arch begins at the ranch, but plan to make this three-mile round trip on an early summer morning. By afternoon the sun makes the slick rock trail hot enough to cook flapjacks.

Reserve a Colorado River rafting excursion from one of a number of Moab outfitters. Apart from floating the river, you can access Canyonlands National Park by automobile at two entrances. The Island in the Sky entrance, approximately seven miles north of Moab, allows you to take a 50-mile drive along the mesa above the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers.
Approximately 70 miles southwest of Moab, Squaw Flat Campground is at the heart of the Needles region. Visitors can take their high-clearance vehicles through dry washes among the region's smaller canyons. Several easy to moderate trails explore the striking needle-like rock formations. A challenging six-mile hike takes trekkers to one of the most secluded spots in the western United States, the Confluence Overlook of the Green and Colorado.

Experience a variation of the natural arch by visiting Natural Bridges National Monument. Three such bridges are located at a protected site just over two hours southwest of Moab. A looped one-way road takes visitors around the park. You can stop to view the bridges from an overlook or investigate further by taking a short hike beneath each bridge. Horse Collar Ruin, a remnant of a Pueblo tribe, is accessible at the park as well. Travelers often park at the visitor center and tour the park by bicycle.

Rent a houseboat on the northern shores of Lake Powell at Bullfrog Marina. Located less than three hours south of Moab and only 45 minutes from Natural Bridges, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is the premiere Utah destination for watercraft enthusiasts. Bullfrog is accessible by auto ferry at Hall's Crossing. The marina has a resort, with RV park and campground, a restaurant and a grocery store. By boat, visitors can explore every nook of the northern region of Lake Powell. Small watercraft, powerboats and houseboats are available to rent.

Visit Capitol Reef, one of the most secluded national parks in the continental United States. Located approximately three hours west of Moab, the park is defined by an ancient water pocket fold created by a once-inland sea. Visitors can take a graded spur route into either the Grand Wash or the Capitol Gorge. Fruita Campground, nestled among the orchards of a settler who once farmed the land, offers pleasant surroundings to relax in. Families of deer, protected by the park, dine on the orchard windfall. A trail leads up the Fremont River to a bluff overlooking The Castle, a sentinel rock fortress at the park's west entrance.

Patients and medical professionals may call 1-800-533-UPMC (8762) for more information.
PITTSBURGH, November 11, 2005 — Douglas Fridsma, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine , has been honored for outstanding achievement in setting standards for clinical trial data. Dr. Fridsma, who also is a faculty member in the medical school's Center for Biomedical Informatics, received the award from the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), which also elected him to its board of directors."I am honored to receive this award from an organization that is instrumental in facilitating the exchange of research data," Dr. Fridsma said. "I look forward to my term on the board, as well. The future of medical informatics is quite promising."CDISC strives for the development of global, platform-independent data standards that allow various institutions to share information readily, especially clinical data gathered through research. The BRIDG, or Biomedical Research Integration Domain Group, to which Dr. Fridsma has made significant contributions, is an important example of such a data-sharing system. BRIDG is a collaborative, open-source platform that translates data into a common language, both in syntax, or structure; and semantics, or meaning. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Health Level 7, an American National Standards Institute-accredited Standards Developing Organization, and CDISC have joined efforts to produce BRIDG."Every group's input is critical to developing a universal model for data exchange," Dr. Fridsma said. "We've been successful at engaging all those groups and keeping them all at the table."Dr. Fridsma's contributions to open-source platforms for data exchange have come largely from his work on the NCI cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG), which is focused on developing interoperability standards for cancer centers nationwide. He was nominated to join CDISC's board by Sue Dubman, director of applications for the NCI Center for Bioinformatics. Ms. Dubman was an initiator of the BRIDG project and has worked closely with Dr. Fridsma in that venture.More information about caBIG can be found at the Web site http://cabig.nci.nih.gov .
