Oregon left tackle Tyler Johnstone reportedly re-tore the ACL in his right knee and will be out for the remainder of the season, according to Comcast Sportsnet Northwest.
Johnstone, who originally tore the ligament in Oregon's 30-7 Alamo Bowl win over Texas in December, had said he was healthy heading into fall camp and had a goal of starting in Oregon's season-opener Aug. 30 against South Dakota.
"It's on track, I'm still pretty confident in that statement," Johnstone said last week. "The doctor said just to take this fall camp time and get comfortable with it. Take it slow, don't take it too fast. Just get comfortable and gain confidence and come back when you're ready."
Johnstone told Comcast that he'll undergo surgery on Friday.
The redshirt junior started 26 consecutive games for the Ducks over the last two years and was named honorable mention All-Pac-12 last season. In his place, the Ducks will likely turn to redshirt junior Andre Yruretagoyena, who has played in 11 games in his career and was called a "first-string talent" by Johnstone last week.
We'll have more about Johnstone's injury after Oregon's practice this afternoon.

Blueberry Intervention
Fri, May 13th 2011, 13:10
I would've spent even more had it not be for Overkill. He helped me figure out what needed fixing (the lighting) and how to do it. There just wasn't a lot of room to put in a specular highlight and a crown on each while having them in different orientations so they didn't look like a bunch of clones. I am mostly pleased with the results.
Overkill was also helpful in another way: He told me to knock it off and stop wasting time on something so trivial. He is cool like that. Anyhow, there are more little fruits, but those will be showcased along with (and in) proper screenshots once I have these implemented in the game. With any luck I won't miss the next Gruedorf deadline.
Very light update this week. The biggest change to mechanics is the addition of an incremental difficulty level. Prior to this, it was possible (and easy) to play indefinitely. Several hours were also spent toiling over the behavior and details of the "naming" system. This is probably time poorly spent, but it's already done and I like adding little touches.

I recently set out to start tinkering with Flash and make a game. This was all pretty new to me, but was easy to get into. I went with FlashPunk as the buzz suggested it was a better general game library than Flixel. The way it handles clipping regions and primitive drawing is a bit annoying, but otherwise it has treated me pretty well so far. I wanted to do something simple as a first project, naturally. While I have a nifty plan for a platformer, I decided it was a little too ambitious for a learn-as-you-go project. Instead I opted to make a puzzle game. In hindsight, the platformer probably would have been quicker and easier. Le sigh.
True to my history, when making a "sequel" to a game, it has turned into something else entirely, albeit with some common bits and pieces between them. What started as Prismatic Arrows 2 has evolved into Juice Game. It's catchy, I know. But clever names come after clever games. So, without further ado, I present a slightly outdated screenshot from when it didn't work quite right:
Yes, it looks a great deal like Pipe Dream. Yes, they do have a bit in common. No, I assure you they are different games. Pipes are a natural evolution of the old arrow model. Arrows only point to the next piece instead of visually connecting to it, making it harder for the player to parse. They also behave somewhat differently in that they have 3 optional inputs and 1 output. Pipes, by comparison, have 1 input and 1 output and they are reversible. Other fundamental behaviors that needed to be banished:
* The ability to inject colors at any point in a sequence.
* The presence of a full spectrum of colors.
* Blending and matching of those colors.
The whole thing was a little too clumsy, but it was built around the notion of "Can I make a game using VERGE's MixColor()?" and in that I feel like I succeeded. Juice Game takes the core of Prismatic Arrows (create long chains of interconnecting pieces filled with different colors) and streamlines the experience, making a much more playable game. This is, of course, still a work in progress, but here are some screenshots of it as it stands right this very moment:
Everything is functional. There are a few mechanics I'm still trying to decide which way to go (for now, playtesting will no doubt reveal me for the fool I am). I also need to slap on a fresh coat of sexy as it's pretty rough looking at the moment. Look forward to more details and more screens in a future update.
Chrome users will appreciate that the awards section no longer spills out of its container.
This was an unfortunate casualty of getting everything up to W3C snuff, but it is no more!

Slippery Stones
Wed, Jan 26th 2011, 17:26
In more substantial news, I've been looking at ways to improve Slippity Slabs. One of the things I would like to do (and was actually meant to be the original mode of play) is to assign unique physics to each block type.
While each concept comes with it's own headaches, none has been more frustrating than the "slippery" block. The idea is that it will slide until it hits something or falls. Alternatively, another block moving across the top of it will slide onto the next block (continuing to do so if there is a row of slippery blocks) or fall. Since the Gruedorf community is largely unresponsive to text-only posts, the problem is summed up with the following:
And that's where I am. I've got a sense of which way to go here, and I might have to try them all out to be sure, but it definitely seems like none of these is particularly good. I don't want to cut it, because I'm fond of the idea, but if it doesn't feel "right" then it'll have to go. I am completely open to suggestions and opinions on this one; it's impossible to be inside another player's head.
So, this week I wanted to wrap up the Gruedorf
improvements by getting it to pass
W3C Validation. This was a simple task, but
it did take a little time and I'm glad to have done it. Check it out for yourself:
valid HTML
and CSS! Hooray!

Now that I'm back on the horse with a few timely, successive updates, it's getting to be time to tackle more impressive feats. What exactly that means and where it leads, I do not yet know. Tune in next week to discover the answer to this and more!
Something was amiss with the Gruedorf Scoreboard
after my tinkering last week (thanks for the heads up Kildorf),
so I set out to fix it. It turns out that in updating the library I use to sort the
tables I killed off some unofficial changes I had made to it when originally adding the sort
feature. Oops.
Wed, Jan 12th 2011, 22:43
Gruedorf Tweaks
Wed, Jan 12th 2011, 22:43
So, I did the only sensible thing and hacked my changes back in and presto! We were back in business. After a short while this solution stopped sitting so well with me, though. Indeed, it relied on hacking up someone else's library and then using invalid HTML attributes; surely there must be a better way!
Of course there is. The trouble was that this sort library can't handle unconventionally formatted data properly, which is what I wanted to populate the table cells with. Something like, say, the Gruedorf time remaining is beyond its capabilities. So I had added support for a custom value to sort by elements by. The new solution is simply to put the sort value inside of a comment prepended to the contents of the table cell. No more broken libraries. No more bad HTML. Why I didn't think of this before is beyond me, but it is fixed now.
Then I got to thinking about the format that the time is presented in and how awkward it can look. After a bit of fiddling it now shows a much more human friendly "English" format for the times. This came at the cost of some precision for larger values, but it has it where it counts: in the final hours of your countdown to inevitable failure.
This all got me to thinking: "Hey, wouldn't it be neat if the times were updated in real time?"
Yes. Yes it would.
And now they do. It seemed a simple task. And it was. Yet it caused me immense grief over a period of several hours. But here we are and it is done. With all of the huge failures clogging the scoreboard, it's not all that impactful right now. Hopefully, one day, when you're checking in to see just how much time you have left and the seconds are ticking away before your very eyes it will motivate you to get that much more done. Or get it done sooner. Or do something. Anything. Please.
So there you have it. A whole mess of extra meta-gruedorf work for some very minor improvements. Let me know what you think of the changes and if you find anything broken.
Some minor tweaks have been made to the Gruedorf Scoreboard. They are almost
entirely administrative improvements, but it is now possible to look at the individual award ladders.
Check out the Streaker Ladder, for example.

Going to keep it short this week, but I'd also like to briefly direct your attention to Slippity Slabs before we wrap up here. While this was not made just this week, it never got a mention here. A while back I was coerced by one "McGrue" into participating in a "compo." This is the result. And the singular entry into that rat's sham contest. It's a pretty simple game, but I think it makes for a fun little distraction. Give it a try if you haven't already.

Tufts holds off rally by Lesley to earn 12-5 win in Round 1 of NCAA tournament
BABSON PARK, Mass. -- Senior Emily Beinecke and junior Sara Hedtler combined for six hits and five runs batted in, helping to pace a 16-hit attack as top-seeded Tufts opened up NCAA tournament play with a 12-5 victory against eighth-seeded Lesley in game one of the Babson Park Regional on Thursday at Alumni Field.
With their 11th consective win, the Jumbos moved to 39-3 on the season while the Lynx, who had won nine consecutive games, dropped to 24-18.
Beinecke went 3-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and three runs batted, while Hedtler was 3-for-4 with a run scored and two RBIs. Sophomores Michelle Cooprider, Gracie Marshall and Bri Keenan all had two hits on the day and first-year Abby Curran drove in a pair of runs for Tufts.
Seniors Emily Mangiaratti and Molly Sarson and junior Sarah Apgar each picked up hits for Lesley while junior Nicole Mercurio drove in a pair of runs. First-year Angela Mukai recorded three of the Lnyx's 10 walks.
After Tufts eluded a two-out, bases-loaded jam in the top of the first frame, the Jumbos wasted little time scoring in the home half. A trio of base knocks, a double and a walk led to four Tufts runs, highlighted by Beinecke's two-run single to center. Junior Jo Clair and sophomore Kris Parr also recorded an RBI apiece.
The Jumbos again threatened in the second, but consecutive singles to open the inning went for naught, as Sarson fielded a sharp grounder at third and stepped on the bag for the first out before starting an inning-ending double play to thwart the rally.
Lesley carried that momentum into the third frame, where the Lynx drew three walks with one down. A sacrifice fly to left field off the bat of Mercurio plated Mangiaratti to narrow the deficit to 4-1.
Tufts broke the game open in the bottom of the third, scoring four runs on three hits and one error. Hedtler posted her third single of the day, this time delivering the big blow with a two-run knock that scored Marshall and Curran.
The Lynx repeated their third-inning start in the top of the fourth by loading the bags on a trio of walks. Sarson's single and an ensuing error brought Lesley to within 8-3. Lesley's ninth walk of the game made the score 8-4 and Mercurio's groundout to short trimmed the Lynx gap to three.
Curran's clutch two-out, two-run single provided the Jumbos with some breathing room as they carried a 10-5 advantage into the fifth. Tufts again rallied with two down in the fifth as back-to-back RBI doubles from Beinecke and sophomore Keenan made the score 12-5.
Senior Rebecca DiBiase earned the win for the Jumbos in relief of starter Aly Moskowitz to move to 9-1 on the season. DiBiase allowed one hit during 1.2 innings after Moskowitz allowed three earned runs and two hits in 3.1 frames. Sophomore Allyson Fournier pitched the final two frames for Tufts, striking out all six batters she faced to close out the win.
First-year Jordan Thomas took the loss for Lesley, falling to 9-8 on the season, allowing seven earned runs on 15 hits over 4.2 innings. Mercurio got the final four outs for the Lynx.

ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund has restored ties with Madagascar for the first time since a coup on the Indian Ocean island in 2009, the government said on Thursday, making it the first donor to do so since a peaceful election late last year.
The election of President Hery Rajaonarimampianina marked an important step towards ending a five-year political crisis that saw donors suspend funds, depriving the government of cash and stunting economic growth.
Outgoing Finance Minister Lantoniaina Rasoloelison did not say when the IMF had informed the government that it was restoring ties, but said the move was critical to getting aid flowing once again to the cash-starved Treasury.
The IMF has not made a public statement announcing a change in its relations with the Antananarivo government.
"We have been waiting for this decision. The IMF is the key to opening the door to discussions with other donors," Rasoloelison told Reuters.
External financing made up 40 percent of the Indian Ocean's island's budget until donors withdrew aid after rebel troops in March 2009 stormed the presidential palace and former disc jockey Andry Rajoelina seized power.
Rasoloelison was finance minister in Rajoelina's government in the run-up to the presidential and legislative elections in December and will remain in the post until a prime minister is named and a new government formed.

Kim Kardashian was spotted shopping in Los Angeles, California. She was wearing a pair of JET jeans in White Thrashed. We haven't spotted Kim in these in a while. I think these are great on Kim. Not that many people can pull off white denim and I think she is one that can. I kind of like that she is also wearing these with flat sandals. But truthfully the outfit would look better if it were paired with heels.
I think JET makes one of the best jeans around. They are definitely of my top 3 favorite brands, along with Current/Elliott and Levi's. I recently got their khaki jeans and they are unbelievable. They are like butter when you put them on. They are just so soft and so easy to move in. They are also great for the summer because they are so light-weight. You can purchase these jeans at BoutiqueToYou and at Singer22.

Imagine a sushi bar within a block of a capital city's most expensive real estate, decorated with boutiques like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent. A stylishly attired thirtysomething woman babbles to her boyfriend about the tabloids she's been reading, stopping occasionally to bark instructions to the sushi chef about the cut of fish she wants. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, is feverishly thumbing his iPhone for details about their upcoming trip to Washington, DC, from time to time suggesting things they must do, without noticing that she is at the same time talking to him about the recent scandal of leaked illegal recordings of government ministers using language that most sailors would be embarrassed to hear. Every few minutes, the couple remark to each other that the next time they really must try a different cuisine—enough of the same toro and edamame dishes week after week.
This scene could have unfolded in almost any major European city. Yet this young couple was dining in Warsaw, a block away from the former headquarters of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party (Poland's governing Communist Party for over four decades), now home to an art-house theater and a luxury-car dealership. A Polish sociologist would likely see the couple as proof of a claim that has been repeated for the better part of a decade, which is that since the collapse of the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe in 1989, higher education and popular culture throughout the region, but especially in Poland, have stopped producing generations of young intelligentsia. A group that for more than a century was the mainstay of Poland's anti-imperial revolutionary traditions, socialist as well as nationalist, has been supplanted by a generic, all-Western middle class.
A recent survey found that more than 80 percent of Polish high-school seniors aspire to go abroad immediately following graduation, whether for short-term work in a service industry, on a temporary European educational exchange like Erasmus, or on merit scholarships to universities in France, the United Kingdom or the United States. As for the teens, twentysomethings and thirtysomethings who remain in Poland, so the argument goes, ideas like "democratic revolution" and "national freedom" mean nothing.
These findings struck a particularly discordant note in Warsaw this year. It was a long summer of anniversaries, and any educated young Pole who paid attention to anything besides his smartphone had the opportunity to celebrate (or mourn, as the case might be) a string of commemorative milestones. May marked a decade of membership in the European Union; June, thirty-five years since the first pilgrimage to Warsaw of Poland's own Pope John Paul II; August, seventy years since the launch of the Warsaw Uprising, which cost hundreds of thousands of civilian lives and culminated in the city's razing by German occupiers; and September, seventy-five years since World War II began with the Nazi invasion of Poland.
Some of these anniversary commemorations played out in several stages. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the revolutions of 1989, which led to the founding of the Third Polish Republic, began by celebrating the Round Table talks (successfully concluded in April 1989), then the semi-free parliamentary elections of June 4, and finally the appointment of the Soviet bloc's first non-Communist prime minister (August) and government (September) since the end of World War II. The stifling summer heat didn't hinder the appearance of ghosts from other revolutions: it was the 225th anniversary of the French Revolution (a crucial point of reference for Poland's democratic opposition in 1989) and the tenth anniversary of Ukraine's Orange Revolution, whose heir apparent has now been in the Polish daily news for a year.

(lil intro: music to "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher)
whoaahhh yeah yeah yeah
(what happened)
(i don't get it)
why, baby, whyyyy?
I fell in love
I thought you felt the same
But when I saw you with him
I knew it was your game
You kissed my lips
We shared those times
But when you found out how I felt
You said you wouldn't be mine
What did I do?
Was it just me?
I feel like I am in too deep
And I know... that without you
It'll be a long road ahead
My friends call me up
I don't know what to do
I guess they just don't get it
I don't wanna live without you
From this torture I wish I could be free
I don't know how you could do this to me...
(Sonny & Cher: "I got...... you babe")

While hope may not be a sound business strategy, there's a lot of optimism floating through the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference underway this week in Atlanta. While few of the 700-or-so attendees believe a turnaround in either the economy or hotel business is around the corner, most see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. The bad news, of course, is the tunnel may be very long and full recovery may not occur until next year or even 2011.
But that's the nature of the Hunter Conference, which founder Bob Hunter calls a meeting for "Main Street, not Wall Street." The entrepreneurs meeting in Atlanta this week aren't willing to just roll over and wait out the recession. They firmly believe they can collectively or even individually will the industry back to prosperity. Obviously, the forces at work are way beyond their control, but healthy doses of confidence—along with solid strategies to minimize the effects of the downturn—will mitigate the effects of the crisis. Nearly every owner, developer or operator I spoke with has an action plan to take full advantage of the turn in the market. Those plans range from acquiring properties to developoing new, but the common thread is a plan for the future.
There's no moping, hand-wringing or blame-placing; just calculated and rational plans for prosperity. That's what they do on Main Street.

This is a nice short little trail in New Haven that is actually part of the River Greenway through Ft. Wayne. We took our grandson Kaden with us and let him ride his bike. This is paved and completely in the woods. At least the section we walked was. It was only .32 miles one way. We had never been to Moser Park in New Haven. There is not a lot here. A small pond for fishing and a picnic shelter. It was a nice evening walk with Kaden riding his bike.

I had the pleasure of spending some time at the Machinima LA Offices not too long ago, and I got to talk to a lot of great people about all the different facets of life at Machinima. One of those was Allen DeBevoise, the CEO. We talked about how social activity plays into the long term plans for Machinima, and specifically how they leverage YouTube to that end.
You're Crazy If You're Not On YouTube
While Facebook and Twitter and other social properties drive video views, Machinima believes YouTube is a social media itself. Here's what Allen has to say about why YouTube is so important to their strategy:
We consider YouTube, in a way, social, right? So it's, the best place to drive use on YouTube is through YouTube, right? Meaning, work through the system, that's our view on this.
Later in the clip, he gives YouTube an even stronger endorsement:
I think you're insane if don't do something on YouTube.
You can view the entire transcript of the video by clicking the link below the clip.
Mark: So search is important especially the long tail, the evergreen part of it. How important is social in driving these?
Allen: Well, social is important as well, I mean, we consider YouTube, in a way, social, right? So it's, the best place to drive use on YouTube is through YouTube, right? Meaning, work through the system, that's our view on this. But obviously, you can drive use through other ways, Facebook, Twitter and other types of models as well, people are sharing, people embed. You know, that whole practice of sharing and moving videos around in a viral way really originated with YouTube, right? So —
Mark: It really is, their entire algorithm is built off that, if you're not social, you're not going to rank well. What would you recommend in terms of somebody who wants to start say, a web series? You know, where should they start and is YouTube important?
Allen: Yeah. I think YouTube is, I think you're insane if don't do something on YouTube. I mean, just the platform is so viral, you can get much bigger numbers, it's very easy, it's not like you're negotiating deals with all sorts of people. And you can learn very quickly what to do. And it's global, it's on every device, they were on the iPhone before anybody and obviously on Android devices.
So I think it's the platform, I wouldn't even bother launching video on the web right now, I would recommend anybody, if you've got a web series, if you have a vide concept, at a minimum, incubate it on YouTube. And quite frankly, I think the direction they're going, we don't focus on anything else right now. We really focus on that platform, you know, they're going to have X-Box app, they're going to have all kinds of things that they're doing, integrated with Google TV.
It's, the mantra is global, multi-platform, searchable, on-demand, and (inaudible), and programmed, all of those short tail and long tail, all of those six elements together to find a new generation of online video brand.

Getting to Know Me (and My Obsession)
Since this is my first post at the Pop Culture Divas I just wanted to say hi to everyone *waves* and introduce myself. I'm Lucy Felthouse and I'm an erotica and erotic romance writer from Derbyshire in the UK. I also run my own business helping to promote writers (http://www.writermarketing.co.uk) and squeeze my writing in around that.
Besides writing and promoting, I love to read, watch TV and films, play with and walk my dog, spend time with my other half and explore the countryside and interesting places. I have lots of TV shows that I enjoy, but my absolute favourite - and I know at least two other members to this blog will already know what I'm going to say - is Supernatural. I just can't help it, I'm addicted! Despite the fact the show has had it's ups and downs, with some seasons and episodes being better than others, I still have to watch every single one.
All joking aside though, it's the relationship between the two brothers and the journey that the characters are on that make me continue to watch it and I'm totally invested now and will watch it to the very end. An end I don't want to think about, of course! I have no idea how they will finish it. Will the boys have a happy ending? Or will they both end up in Hell with no way of escaping? Who knows? All I know for sure is that the writers seriously have their work cut out for them, because the show has such a rabid and obsessive fanbase that whatever they do, people will criticise them. I certainly don't envy them that.
Personally, as much as the boys deserve a happy ending after saving the world umpteen times, I think they should probably kill them off. It breaks my heart to say it, and I will absolutely cry my eyes out if they do (but only for real, after the first couple of times the boys died I got a bit immune to it cos I always knew they'd come back), but it'll make for more powerful TV. The last thing the rabid fanbase want is to get to the end of a show they've dedicated so much time and adoration to and go "Meh."
What do you think, Supernatural fans? Fairy tale ending, or bloody ending?

When you arrive at a hunting lodge and sit down to an elk-steak dinner and you're introduced to your hunting guide, a Kentucky guy named Squirt, you know it's going to be a good turkey hunt.
I spent three days at Whitetail Creek Outfitters in Cadiz, Kentucky, this April, chasing longbeards with a group of girlfriends — some were old friends and some were new ones. I don't go on a lot of women-only hunts, so this was a rare treat for me. Tammy Sapp with Bass Pro Shops and Melanie Swearingen of the National Wild Turkey Federation were our hosts. Bass Pro just purchased the SHE Outdoor Apparel brand, so we were outfitted with comfortable new SHE gear. Brenda Valentine, the "First Lady of Hunting," was along, and by the end of dinner on the first night she'd scared us so badly with the story of her Alpha-Gal allergy — a tick-borne disease that literally forces its victim to become a vegetarian — that we were so paranoid about ticks, we forgot to worry about snakes. But just in case, we were outfitted with Redhead snake boots anyway! And let me tell you, if you're a woman and you're used to wearing men's camo and boots because you haven't found any women's gear that fits, get yourself to Bass Pro Shops and check out the expanded SHE line.
I sat in various blinds and against several different trees for three days with Squirt. On the first evening I made one boneheaded range-estimation mistake and missed a jake. On the second and final evening, we did have one close call with a gobbler that hung up at a frighteningly close 10 yards away — he just needed to take three more steps into the field to give me a shooting angle I could manage out of the blind window. Unfortunately, after several heart-pounding minutes, he turned around and strutted off down the trail, disappearing into the woods, safely out of range of my 11-87.
The hunting was tough, but the good news is that three girls in our group did score on gobblers. As it happened, the two girls on the trip who had never killed turkeys before both scored in Kentucky that week. Lisa Densmore and Kristine Houtman both dropped nice gobblers, and Melanie shot a nice longbeard before the end of the trip, as well. It couldn't have gone much better.
Check out the following video for more info on the Bass Pro/SHE acquisition.

My dog is very skittish at night - been awake since 1.30am! HELP!(14 Posts)
Ok - so - this is his third week with us. He's a Cocker Spaniel, approx 18 months old and a Dog's Trust rescue. Lovely lovely dog and very much loved by all of us although this morning I am kind of looking at him through slitty eyes and not much feeling the lurrrrrrrrrve.
He's allowed to sleep anywhere and goes off quite happily with whoever is the chosen one for the night - but..........every night between 1.30 and 3 he goes batshit crazy running about the house, skipping around like a teenager at a rave, pestering to get onto someone else's bed, up the stairs, down the stairs, to the front door, pestering again. So of course we all jump up at various intervals convinced he needs a poo or whatever. If we let him outside there's never a poo - mostly never even a wee. So - it's a game isn't it?
As advised by the rescue he is fed at 7am and around 3pm. He gets two long walks a day. No separation issues as he hasn't been left yet. I'm wondering if he's hungry - we've just come downstairs now and he's dancing around the feed bowl!
Would I be right in thinking he needs a later feed? An extra feed? I don't want to create weight issues - he's in terrific shape at the moment. But - we can't go on without doing something. Would very much appreciate any suggestions!
Urgh, poor you! Can he be contained somewhere at night so he's not tripping the light fantastic all over the house? That might help him learn that bedtime is bedtime until you get up and start the day for him.
He's not raving around from 1.30pm because he's hungry. I feed my dog at 7am and between 4-5pm which I think is quite early, but I feed him so he settles while I deal with the children's dinner/bath/bed. But he isn't up partying in the night!
I think 3pm is very early though, is there is a reason why the rescue suggested that, perhaps that's when he ws fed there?
I would start a bedtime 'routine' of humans getting ready for bed (lights off, locking doors etc), him being taken out for a last wee, contain him in a room downstairs with his bed in it, shut the door and be prepared for a night or two of loud protests but ignore him.
In the current weather it's more likely that he wakes up because he is cold and then just enjoys all the attention he's getting!
I think that while he settles in you should pick where he sleeps, make sure it is seriously cosy, and stick to it. Make sure he's been out for a wee before bed, don't let him back in until he's done one, so you can be confidant he won't need another then curtail all the messing about!
I'd do 2 things.
Crate him at night - and move the crate each night to wherever he will be sleeping. He sounds very unsettled; possibly he has been crated in the past and is now confused; possibly he is unsettled by the changing bed place. Could be anything thought.
Also change feeding times. Move supper to a later time - maybe about 5ish. How much does he weigh, how much are you feeding and what is the food? He might need a bit more in general too.
Has he done the night time thing since you got him?
Thanks for answers and suggestions. We don't have a crate and would be reluctant I think to use one. We've tried making only one bedroom available to him - he expresses his displeasure by clawing and scratting at the closed doors until everyone's up and love is thin on the ground! Interesting theory about the cold - thinking back the last couple of nights have been the worst so far for night adventures!!
DH really needs to sleep properly - he's a medical professional and over-tiredness wouldn't be good for anyone! I'll battle on for a couple of nights following suggestions here about cold and not making it worth his while playing the fool!
Food - he's on Canagan. No problems with that - digestion is fine, pooing fine. No idea what he weighs but he's trim and healthy looking with a good shiny coat.
My dog would bounce all over my head if I let him have the run of the house at night. And the kids. Plus, he'd probably attempt to break in to the hamster. That's why he sleeps in the kitchen. I hear him in the night sometimes, squeaking away on one of his toys . He gets put to bed at around 11pm, and we're up at 6.30, so he isn't alone for very long at all. He definitely doesn't sleep the entire time, though. Could you try giving him his own 'bedroom' and see if that makes him feel more secure and settled?
The trouble is he clearly has no clue what going to bed for the night actually means. And he is learning bad habits at the moment by doing as he pleases overnight.
IMO, you will have to teach him what going to bed means - and a crate would make that far easier than having him belting around the house. Make a cosy warm place for him (again crate makes this easy) and teach him about bed time.
Why are you reluctant to crate?
Mine is doing this. Utterly ignoring him means he stops and settles within around 10-15 minutes as opposed to three hours when DH constantly says his name plus a string of random commands the dog does not know.
We are setting the crate up tonight because DH cannot get it into his thick head that he needs to ignore the dog.
I don't know really why we are reluctant to use a crate - bad experience with our last dog I suppose! He died last year after 14 happy years but to this day nobody can forget the howling from the crate incident! I think ignoring is the way to go - as well as limited access. We will try having only one room available to him. He's been on a five mile walk this afternoon - We are hoping that will help too. Thanks again for all replies and suggestions.
We use a crate and it is great and saves our sanity. Sometimes our dog whines early in the morning but we ignore her and eventually she stops. No way would i let her be bounding around the house at night. Your dog thinks he is in charge and you really need to be firm and show that your are in control and he does what you say. If you won't crate then he needs to be confined to one room and remain there regardless of whining or scrabbling. He needs to unlearn the behaviour pattern he is in.
Yes - I agree little - I know what you say is absolutely right. Anyway - DH has some leave coming up so that will be a good time to tackle it. Meanwhile he's so gorgeous it's hard to stay cross with him for long - he's currently belly up on the sofa snoring like someone's grandfather!
It is your house not his That is what we were told by dogs trust you tell him it is bedtime get him his own bed and train him to go to his spot at night dogs dont sleep all night they toss and turn and can get up he will be feeling a little lonley and enjoying the ooh the humans are here, just try and ignore him. I feed my dog at 8 and 5 3 is a bit early but if that is what he is used too but you can change it, when he came he was a skinny wee thing and was fed 4 times last feed at 3 30 must be the dogs trust feeding routine,
We've got a fairly new addition (5 weeks) - we tried leaving her downstairs on the first night, but moving from a place with lots of dogs nearby and another one in the same run, to being an only dog in a HOUSE () was all too much - so she came to bed on her bed next to ours. She would be IN bed if given the chance - but that's not acceptable and she has worked that out. She is also shut out of DS's room (although, if given the chance she'll push her way in to make sure he's OK - at least she's not taking a leap from the doorway the 7' onto the bed and DS now!). She even managed one night downstairs by herself (although she did come to get me up at 3am to let her out - its very good that I'm telepathic as she padded in very quietly and came to both sides of the bed then headed back downstairs without a sound and I had to get up based on that).
We did have one dog who would always be wide awake whenever you might get up in the night - unlike her companion who was always firmly asleep between 9pm and 7am.
If necessary, dog gate to stop him getting to bedroom doors might help?
Not sure if you're dog is timid but ours actually hated having the downstairs to herself at night. Se barked at nothing at ridiculous hours. Our dog trainer told us to crate her so she feels more secure. We did and haven't heard a peep out of her since. She is 5 months old and I'm soo glad she can be crated, I wasn't sure about crates to begin with either!

Geophysical Exploration In The Tatun Volcanic Region, Taiwan
From Open Energy Information
OpenEI Reference LibraryAdd to library
Journal Article: Geophysical Exploration In The Tatun Volcanic Region, Taiwan
AbstractThis is an introduction to geophysical exploration in the Tatun volcanic region in Taiwan. Two prospecting methods of geophysical investigation, magnetic and electrical resistivity survey, were applied at both the Tahuangtsui and Matsao geothermal areas from March 1967 to August 1968 The magnetic survey was used as a reconnaissance investigation to delineate the outline of the hydrothermally altered zone on the surface, while the electrical resistivity survey was used to find the thermal fluid bearing low-resistivity zone, and to understand the subsurface structure if the VES (vertical electric sounding) data could be interpreted rather quantitatively. Both magnetic and resistivity surveys shows interesting results. High magnetic anomalies are often associated with andesites and pyroclastic rocks, and low magnetic anomalies appear in the hydrothermally altered zone and the area of Tertiary sediments as expected. Also the magnetic contours are somewhat consistent with the topographic relief which is generally formed by the steep-sided andesite lava flows and volcanic domes in the surveyed area. The electrical resistivity survey at the Tahuangtsui area was carried out with two methods, horizontal exploration and vertical sounding. The VES data were interpreted semiquantitatively and the subsurface structure of the surveyed area was then inferred accordingly. In the Matsao area, the subsurface geological conditions were little known before the resistivity measurement began; therefore the resistivity survey in this area was used to get information about the subsurface geology and structure; hence the vertical sounding was applied primarily. The VES curves obtained show very complicated figures indicating the high complexity of subsurface geology and structural features. However, a qualitative interpretation was made. Evaluated from the VES data and the experimental result, the resistivities of various rocks in the surveyed area are as follows:

The scariest noise we tend to hear on a day-to-day basis is the sound of our smartphone telling us we've hammered it too hard and that it's about to die.
Expiring battery beeps aside, we haven't been truly creeped out by a noise since a creaky door made us jump and scatter our Pog collection over the floor, back when we were little gadgeteers.
That's why we've decided to test our mettle by rounding up some genuinely spooky real sounds. Find a dark room, plug in your headphones, and start Halloween off in style.
Last month, Voyager 1 emerged from the protective bubble of our sun's magnetosphere and crossed into the unimaginable depths of interstellar space, the first object created by our civilisation ever to leave the solar system. As NASA's boffins craned excitedly into their headsets listening for confirmation that the 36-year-old space probe had indeed crossed the heliopause, a terrible noise was heard: first a ghostly whistle, then a high, otherwordly scream, a sudden peaking in intensity, almost as if something was homing in, powerfully and directly, on the little craft.
In the NASA offices, people stared silently at one another as the terrible sounds played over and over. A cardboard coffee cup rolled off a desk, startling Voyager's Mission Director. "They've found us", he was heard to mutter. "My God, they've found us."
These ethereal whoops are sound, Jim, but not as we know it. The sounds you hear are vibrations in the air, but these are vibrations in plasma, the ionised gases given off by stars. The increasing density (represented by the rising noise) detected by Voyager 1's plasma instrument is what lets NASA know that the probe, now 12 billion miles away, really has made it to deep space.
The job of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to listen to the ocean. Not in the way your yoga teacher tells you to listen to the ocean. In a much more technical way, with arrays of hydrophones that listened for enemy submarines during the Cold War, and which now listen for advance warning of natural disasters such as tsunamis and hurricanes.
In 1997, from a point in the Southern Ocean, something vast was heard. It was so loud that it was heard by hydrophones almost 5000km apart, and was thought to be an underwater earthquake until Dr Christopher Fox of the NOAA reported that analysis of the sound showed it to have an 'organic signature': the varying frequency that is the hallmark of a sound made by an animal. An animal huge beyond imagining, and – although oceanographers have been slow to confirm this – with an unquenchable hunger for human souls.
If H.P. Lovecraft is to be believed, and he definitely is, then the noise (nicknamed 'the Bloop' by the NOAA) is the bellowing of Cthulu, a demonic Elder God who dwells in R'yleh, a city beneath the Southern Ocean.
After a decade of speculation, the NOAA at last confirmed that the Bloop could be the sound of ice - lots of ice - moving across the ocean floor. But the Bloop isn't the only one: other sounds heard by the NOAA, including the Whistle and the Upsweep, can't be explained by icequakes, and are almost certainly the sounds of immense submarine demons intent on driving all mankind insane before devouring the sun.
This is one you can hear for yourself: take any cheap shortwave radio and sweep across the spectrum to 4625 kHz. As you comb through the static you'll come across a sudden, jarring alarm. Callsign UVB-76, known to its listeners as The Buzzer (žužžalka to the Russians) broadcasts nothing but a loud, repeating ERK-ERK-ERK noise, 24 hours a day.
Except, that is, for rare occasions when muffled voices make themselves heard, repeating strings of names and numbers in Russian, with the occasional snatch of classical music. It began in the late 70s, and when it stops, the world ends. A relic of the Cold War that can never be dismantled, UVB-76 is the Dead Hand, the trigger that will launch all of Russia's nuclear weapons even if no general is left alive to press the button. It is the sound of Mutually Assured Destruction.
Actually, the paranoia surrounding UVB-76 isn't so far from the truth. It's a numbers station, a type of radio statio used by spies. Numbers stations - shortwave radio broadcasts of what appear to be gibberish - have been relatively common since the Second World War to send coded messages. They're easy to set up and very, very difficult to trace, because anyone can listen to them, anywhere. They're also more secure than any other form of encryption, because if the sender and receiver use a pre-coded pad (known as a 'one-time pad'), there's no way anyone listening in can figure out what the message is. The constant buzzing noise is used to keep others off UVB-76's frequency, which implies that it's an important one.
For more creepy radio, visit archive.org/details/ird059, where you can hear recordings of various numbers stations. Our favourite is The Swedish Rhapsody, a German numbers station in which the voice of a little girl sometimes emerges from the static. Fall asleep to that, we dare you.

Iain Ballamy – Tenor Saxophone | Huw Warren – Piano | June Tabor – Voice
Quercus brings together three of the UK's most creative and original musicians to create beautiful poignant music that transcends musical genres. Drawing on each player's repertoire of original, timeless folk songs and reclaimed standard repertoire, the trio subtly recolour the music with their individual palettes to create exquisite acoustic chamber music. It would be hard to put together a group which offers more heartfelt music; from June's gripping voice and intense delivery to Iain's gloriously mellifluous melodies and Huw's lyrical off-kilter musicality, the trio carries the audience on a journey through tales of love and loss, bloody battles and beguiling originals.
Quercus are touring in 2013 to celebrate their first release on ECM Records.
'As a composer and soloist Ballamy displays a wide emotional range… Musical, ingenious and endearing, this is jazz to listen to again and again.'
'June Tabor is quite simply one of Britain's greatest interpreters of popular song. She is a performer with an extraordinary range and the ability to mix intensity, passion and drama with a chillingly lived in voice that makes every song sound like a personal experience.'
'Huw Warren is one of the UK's truly independent spirits.'

Well, in retrospect it's hard to call it much of a war. How about "Slaughterhouse Iraq"? America officially spent $75 billion for the month, give or take a few billion. What's a few billion dollars among Dubya's friends? Iraq's related expenses were estimated around $1.5 billion equivalent. Not quite a cakewalk, but close enough. I think the biggest joke was American complaints about an "asymmetrical war", when virtually every aspect of the asymmetry was in our favor. Not yet clear if they actually killed Saddam or if he took a powder after an assassination attempt of opportunity, but if the whole point was to kill him, $75 billion certainly seems ridiculous. The Russian mafia could have handled the job for a few million. I'm sure they've hired some old KGB boys for just that sort of thing. Ongoing costs are unknown, but we should be delighted that Iraq is now able to follow our wonderful principles--at least the 2nd Amendment principles. Apparently an extremely large number of fully automatic weapons up and disappeared in the chaos, and it's quite safe to say that most of them will never be traced. Oh well. Everyone already knew it was a tough neighborhood.
WMD? You remember WMD, don't you? The reason we did all this, right? Well, turns out we still can't find anything, so the latest claims are that our wonderful intelligence just didn't discover that they'd all been destroyed or sent somewhere else before the "war" even started. Kind of outrageous propaganda insofar as we insisted we had solid proof and that was our rationale for killing all those Iraqis. They're still counting, but around 2,000 civilians certified dead so far. But who cares about such trivia as Iraq rapidly slides into various forms of anarchy? So far the only evidence of unification is that all the strong factions want the Americans to get out of their country.
Lots of details of various sorts in the news, but hard to keep track of all of it. Actually, I've realized the bigger picture is not just information overload, but outright "information malnutrition". The mass media is fully controlled by right-wing fanatics, and they eagerly provide a stream of information pabulum, mostly focusing on blood and gore that support the desired environment of fear, with an occasional juicy gossip story. A much broader spectrum of information on the Web, but who can find it? Especially significant that Google appears to be increasingly exercising their censorship powers, which is almost as good as deleting a Web server altogether. It's not that there is an absence of important information that should be reaching the voters, but that tiny trickle that would be vital for the nourishment of real democracy is being blocked up as effectively as possible. The most glaring example remains Cheney's national energy policy as forged by Enron and friends. That certainly should have been vigorously pursued and exposed by Congress, but instead those worthless Congressmen just sat back and let the GAO struggle futilely for a while, and now it's apparently a dead "non-issue" as to how Cheney and friends are robbing the nation.

Access to education and the ECOWAS Pro-poor policy
By Mustapha Sesay
Access to education remains a huge challenge for the African continent, more so within the Sub-Saharan Africaregion.
This, according to experts, has led to the persistent poverty and bad governance which have undersized development and growth.
The Africa America Institute (AAI) State of Education in Africa Report2015 states: "University enrollment rates in Sub-Saharan Africa are among the lowest in the world," and that "globally 8 out 10 countries with the lowest pre-primary net enrollment rates are in sub-Saharan Africa."
But despite this unpleasant report about the educational situation in the sub region, concerted effortsare being made both by individual nations and at regional level.
However, there are numerous obstacles which have hampered the full actualization of these efforts.
One of such obstacles is the slow pace of integration on the continent which, to a very large extent, has limited education opportunities among nations.
Thus identifying the strong connection between education and socio-economic and socio- political development occasioned the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to develop sound protocol on education in order to enhance access and equal opportunities among member States.
Article 7 of the protocol specifically called for open door opportunities for students within the regional bloc to benefit from unhindered access to education across countries that make up the bloc.
The article clearly points out that "Member States shall undertake to grant to students from other ECOWAS countries the same privileges as to their own students in terms of fees and accommodation, within a period of five years from the date of entry into force of this Protocol."
But paradoxically, it is evident that this protocol is just one of the many neatly written aspirations of the bloc on paper which remain unimplemented and unpopular among both students and the university authorities in Sierra Leone, and it might also be the same for other member countries.
Sorie N Dubumya is the Registrar of the University of Sierra Leone (USL).
He expressed vague understanding of the protocol in an interview at his Tower Hill office in Freetown. He said students from other countries were recognized as foreign students, therefore they were mandated to pay $ 3,500 as fees while Sierra Leoneans Students were charged two time lesser depending on the curse of study.
This makes education outside the individual student's country grossly expensive and sometimes unaffordable for the less privileged who travel out of their countries within the sub-region either due to economic or political reasons.
The USL registrar argued that the situation is so because there has been no information about the protocol and that such agreement would only be enforced by the Ministry of Education or by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, noting that the University has no control over such situation.
"We are not aware of the protocol officially and I cannot readily tell you that we have such understanding in term of fees regularization for foreign students even within ECOWAS," the registrar said.
Dubumya however noted that there is an educational policy agreement between Nigeria and Sierra Leone that aim to encourage and facilitate Voluntary Corporation between the two nations for their students to pay equal fees in both countries. He added that this agreement was limited to only federal Universities in Nigeria.
Both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to comment on the subject.
"I am done with work for this year. Let's say next year," BrimaTuray, Public Relations Officer atthe Ministry of
Education, told me on the phone after several attempt to reach him.
Ife Ojo, a Nigerian student studying Medicine at the College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (COMAHS) in
Sierra Leone is one of the beneficiaries of the special educational policy agreement between her country and Sierra Leone.
But apart from the current educational relationship the two nations enjoy, she sadly knows little about ECOWAS and virtually nothing about the protocol on education.
"I am here because my dad works here, and so we took opportunity of the condition that exists between Nigeria and Sierra Leone in terms education for me to further my studies here," she told me.
"It could have been difficult if there was no such opportunity,because I don't know if there was any ECOWAS protocol on education that will have given me the same opportunity," she added.
In an effort to know the perspective of other member countries on the protocol, I went out to reach to the embassies of ECOWAS countries here in Freetown.But while some were already on recess due to the Christmas holiday,others declined to grant me interview.
Officials at the Liberia embassy said they don't talk to journalists. But in a brief chat with the Consul,he indicated lack of knowledge on the protocol.
"I definitely don't know about that protocol you are talking about. You are the one educating me now," Roland Johnson said with broad smile.
Francis Sowa is a PhD candidate in Media and Communications Studies andhe lectures at the department of Mass Communication at Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone.
He believes that lack of commitment, coordination and collaboration on key ECOWAS protocols, not only the one on education, is largely caused by acomplete variance between the laws of the countries that make upECOWASand the treaties and conventions they signed to.
He noted that there are no efforts to harmonize these treaties into the domestic laws.
For Sowa, research could have been the way out of the discrepancies and enhance awareness for the protocol.
But he noted that this has remained ineffective among government officials and those who are supposed to benefit from some of the outcomes of those very protocols.
"Youcannot claim your right if you don't know them," he said, adding: "the Foreign Ministry is supposed to be au-fait with those international treaties and conventions and sensitize the citizen about it.
But again government always pay lip serve when it comes to issues that are really beneficial to the ordinary man."
Sowa pointed out that Sierra Leone's pro-poor policy is captured in the Agenda for Prosperity which was drafted by the All People Congress-led government, but that it remains unfulfilled because only few people can access and digest its content because of the prevalence of illiteracy among the bulk of the population.
Africa can only get out of poverty when it inhabitants were able to educate themselves to the fullest of their potential in order to access employment and other benefits that come with it, the mass communication lecturer and social commentator said.
He reiterated that until ECOWAS make education a key ingredient in its quest of improving democracy and good governance, reducing inequality and fighting poverty in West Africa would remain fruitless.
Moving forward with the ECOWAS Vision 2020, which aims at transforming the bloc from an 'ECOWAS of States' to an 'ECOWAS of the People,' the region will need to move from a narrow and individualistic meaning to a more collective and substantial content in order to fulfill the role of creating a framework of equal access to education within the community adherent to regional identity.
This means that the protocol on education should not be underestimated. In fact it should be taken as the starting point to constructing a mechanism of inclusion and people oriented regional community
Furthermore, until more efforts are focused on expanding access and improving the quality of education to meet the needs of today's workforce,the current situation would continue to escalate poverty and strangle good governance.

SOURCE: University of Waterloo
May 01, 2014 17:12 ET
WATERLOO, ON--(Marketwired - May 01, 2014) - The Province of Ontario renewed its investment in world leading quantum technology research today allotting $25 million to the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo over five years.
"We are extremely grateful that the Province of Ontario continues to create the conditions for Ontario, and Canada, to lead the world in quantum information research," said Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of Waterloo.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at Waterloo is among the top five quantum research institutes in the world. It brings together researchers from the Faculties of Science, Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Waterloo and has attracted investment from the private sector as well as the provincial and federal governments.
Quantum information science and its resulting technologies have the potential to fundamentally affect the ways we work, communicate and live. As quantum information research matures from theory to experiment, transformational technologies are spawning an entirely new industry -- quantum information technology.
"Today's support for IQC further positions Waterloo to take full advantage of the opportunities that quantum information science present," said Professor Raymond Laflamme, executive director of IQC. "The discoveries in our labs and the technologies our researchers are creating will drive the growth of Canada's Quantum Valley. Entirely new quantum industries will grow and thrive here."
The Province of Ontario made a $50M investment in IQC in 2006. IQC has also attracted more than $300 million in investments from the Government of Canada, Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis and the University of Waterloo. The investment has allowed IQC to make significant strides:
The Government of Canada announced in February a further $15 million for IQC over three years.
About the University of Waterloo
In just half a century, the University of Waterloo, located at the heart of Canada's technology hub, has become one of Canada's leading comprehensive universities with 35,000 full- and part-time students in undergraduate and graduate programs. Waterloo, as home to the world's largest post-secondary co-operative education program, embraces its connections to the world and encourages enterprising partnerships in learning, research and discovery. In the next decade, the university is committed to building a better future for Canada and the world by championing innovation and collaboration to create solutions relevant to the needs of today and tomorrow.

Vocational Nursing Profession- Job Duties, Work Environment, Salary Information
LVN Profession Overview
Licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) work in a wide variety of medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics, where they provide basic healthcare to patients. Licensed vocational nurses usually take care of the sick, injured, disabled and convalescent under the strict direction and supervision of registered nurses and physicians. Common tasks performed by licensed vocational nurses include taking vital signs such as temperature, pulse, blood pressure, preparing and administering injections to patients, applying dressings, monitoring perfusions and blood transfusions, etc.
Scope of Work of a Vocational Nurse
LVNs are also in charge with collecting samples for testing, performing simple, routine laboratory analyses, feeding patients, recording food and fluid intake and so on. Although at present licensed vocational nurses may experience difficulties in occupying jobs in hospitals and other major healthcare institutions, they can find great job opportunities in nursing care facilities and in various home healthcare services.
What Salary Scales Should a Trained LVN Expect?
The work conditions and salary of licensed vocational nurses vary according to the levels of training and experience of the employee and the type of the employing institution. LVNs usually work 40 hours a week, but their work schedule is not always stable and occasionally LVNs are required to work extra hours in weekends or even holidays. The licensed vocational nursing profession involves dedication, lots of effort and responsibility, but can also bring financial benefits. The median annual wage of a licensed vocational nurse in California is $51,150 (Source: www.bls.gov, 11/2013).
Persons who wish to become licensed vocational nurses need to complete the specific training program and validate their skills by passing a licensing examination (NCLEX-PN). Vocational nursing training can be completed in less than a year and is available at accredited vocational schools, like Unitek College.
The vocational nursing programs comprise both theoretical classroom study and supervised clinical practice. Classroom study is based on official, government-approved Vocational Nursing coursework and focuses on conceptual learning. Major topics covered by the Vocational Nursing coursework include anatomy, physiology, medical-surgical nursing, obstetrics, paediatrics, nutrition and first aid. Occasionally, the Vocational Nursing coursework can also account for psychiatric nursing. Clinical practice (the second stage of the licensed vocational nursing program) usually takes places in the hospital, under the supervision of program instructors and physicians.
