As exchange-traded funds continue to win favor with investors, the number of available offerings in this sector has exploded. According to Morningstar data, there are nearly 1,300 exchange-traded funds on the market today, 187 of which were introduced just this year. And while you can safely pass by the vast majority of these funds, there are a few that stand out as worthy of your investment dollars.
First-round pick
If I had to give the thumbs-up to just one exchange-traded fund of the year so far, it would go to Vanguard Total International Stock Index ETF
And unlike many new ETFs that track newly designed and often somewhat obscure benchmarks, this fund has some history behind it. The index mutual fund version of the ETF goes back to 1996 and ranks in the top 15% of all foreign large-cap blend funds, including actively managed funds, over the past decade. With a low 0.20% price tag and an all-inclusive foreign focus, this fund is one of the best new ETF choices around.
Two more contenders
Two other worthwhile new-to-the-market funds come from the Schwab family of funds. In case you haven't noticed, Schwab has been engaging in a bit of a price war with ETF industry leaders Vanguard, State Street, and iShares (which BlackRock acquired last year). Their latest two offerings are no exception.
The Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF
Likewise, the Schwab U.S. REIT ETF
Global considerations
Another intriguing newcomer to the ETF field is the SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Dividend ETF
Likewise, on the basis on cost alone, the Focus Morningstar US Market ETF
Ultimately, investors should be very cautious about new exchange-traded funds coming on to the market. Most are expensive and either focused on a thin slice of the market or employ significant leverage to boost returns. However, there are a few new funds that take a broader stance on the market and make an effort to keep fees low -- and these are the ETFs that should earn a second look from investors.

Craig glad Cowboys bosses refused 3D release
The actor heads up the new sci-fi Western, which has already earned more than £57.5 million at the box office since its release last month (Jul11).
Despite the rise in 3D films hitting cinemas in recent years, director Jon Favreau decided against using the technique - and Craig is sure it's benefited the blockbuster.
He tells BBC's Newsbeat, "It was a very deliberate decision and I'm glad we didn't (use 3D). We'd still be shooting it apart from anything else. Classic westerns are 2D... so you can stretch the image right across the screen and it looks like it should do.
"I think 3D works in animation and it gives me a headache to tell you the truth, I'm not a big fan of it. Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned.
"When you watch a 3D live action movie you're forced to look at parts of the screen which you might not necessarily want to look at, but you have to because that's where the focus is. With 2D you get a much richer feeling and can look where you want basically. The whole thing with wearing the glasses is a bit silly."

2013 Cadillac ATS: Fuel Economy Update for September
October 3, 2013
After last month's 3,000 miles, September was relatively quiet for our 2013 Cadillac ATS. We added fewer than half that, about 1,300 miles. For those miles, we averaged 20.7 mpg. That's a few mpg below the EPA's 24 mpg estimate for combined driving.
In terms of a lifetime average, we're still below that EPA combined average as well. After our nearly 16,000 miles, we're averaging 21.9 mpg.
Worst Fill MPG: 12.6
Best Fill MPG: 30.6
Average Lifetime MPG: 21.9
EPA MPG Rating: 24 Combined (21 City/31 Highway)
Best Range: 432 miles
Current Odometer: 15,938 miles

Engaging the Next Generation of Computer Scientists
Monday, November 10, 2014
(Cross-posted to the Google Research Blog.)
Last month we announced the Google CS Engagement Small Grants Program, which supports CS educators invested in improving engagement and retention in their classes. Today we announce the launch of EngageCSEdu, a comprehensive collection of high-quality open source instructional materials for introductory computer science courses that integrates research-based pedagogical practices for engaging and retaining students. Developed by the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) in partnership with Google, the goal of EngageCSEdu is to support the retention of women and other underrepresented groups in undergraduate CS education.
The content in EngageCSEdu is unique in that each piece emphasizes student engagement in the classroom. The project team, consisting of computer scientists, learning scientists, and social scientists, applied current research on gender diversity, student engagement, computer science education pedagogy, and classroom environment to define a set of seventeen Engagement Practices for the classroom. These practices describe effective educational techniques such as incorporating pair programming, providing relevant and meaningful context, and avoiding stereotypes. The team performed a comprehensive review of all the material to ensure that each piece embodies or even exemplifies one or more of these techniques, "taking the guesswork out of finding and creating materials that offer introductory CS students an engaging educational experience," says NCWIT CEO and Co-founder Lucy Sanders.
The content available at launch was amassed through an exhaustive survey of available online resources from over 3,000 colleges and universities across the country. This review process resulted in over 1,400 unique instructional materials from 120 institutions. All primary introductory programming languages and over 325 introductory computer science topics are represented, as well as the set of Engagement Practices mentioned earlier.
California State University Long Beach Professor of Computer Science, and EngageCSEdu project team member, Alvaro Monge says "The goal of the project team was to build something that is immediately useful for faculty, but will also persist and grow as a 'living' collection." As such, the collection consists of individual teaching materials that can easily be integrated into the classroom, such as assignments, projects, labs, tutorials, and lecture slides. Additionally, all EngageCSEdu content is tagged with a comprehensive set of metadata that allows users to search and browse easily and efficiently.
While EngageCSEdu is not designed to address all problems of retention in computer science, we hope that it will nonetheless become a valuable resource for the community of undergraduate computer science instructors. Maggie Johnson, Google Director of Education and University Relations, believes that "EngageCSEdu is a viable solution to help a broader set of students complete their computer science degrees," and it is our hope that instructors will continue to use and contribute to the collection, ensuring a dynamic resource that remains relevant and useful in the future.

Listen to this article
I've never been a great one for the memoirs of famous sports stars. No doubt there are some gems but, largely, these rapturous and presumably mostly ghostwritten tomes seem full of personal growth jargon about chasing the dream, being the goal and believing in yourself.
So, ordinarily I would not have bothered with Mo Farah's autobiography. While I have nothing but admiration for the man, he best expresses himself on the track and I know I would struggle with the running chapters, which in the end boil down to: "I trained really hard and then I ran as fast as I could." But my attention was captured by a news story from his book, in which he described getting into a fight in Richmond Park with a pushchair-wielding couple who were blocking his path as he trained there, long before his gold medal fame.
We don't know the full details so it is difficult to judge the incident. On the one hand we have all experienced the sanctimony of new parents; on the other it must be said that a division of panzers can be halfway across Belgium in the time it takes to manoeuvre a baby-buggy in woodland.
But his story resonated because it is getting increasingly difficult to do anything in London these days without someone angrily standing up for their right of way as if it were set down in Magna Carta. Were these ancient Richmond lands not indeed bequeathed to the British Olympic Association by Simon de Montfort so that joggers might safely graze?
For a nation famed for saying sorry when we've done nothing wrong, we seem to have got awfully assertive in recent years. It isn't even a testosterone thing any more: for men or women, it's become a default setting. From runners to rollerbladers, from bikes to buses, we're damned if we're getting out of your way.
Louts and road rage are hardly new but, for the most part, Brits were slow to rouse and desperately apologetic, even – indeed especially – when we were in the right. Time was when both runner and parent would have struggled comically to get out of each other's way, because a chap instinctively stood aside. This was what it meant to be British; you gave way, said sorry and then seethed about it for hours before finally shouting at the children.
Not any more. An inordinate amount of city life seems to involve people angrily asserting their antecedence and then fuming for the rest of the day. It has become commonplace to lament the anger and abuse on the internet, yet its presence in the real world often goes unremarked.
As Mo's memoirs show, even the tranquillity of the Richmond deer park is no sanctuary. Not only are there runners fuming at parents; motorists are seething at drivers who are going too slowly and at cyclists who are going too fast. And as for the deer, they seem to think that just because they've got their name on the entrance, they've got the run of the place.
Outside the park it's even worse. People walk around as if they are Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver – as if any concession of ground is a humiliation. Cyclists are fitting cameras on their helmets for their confrontations with drivers and rage is the emotion of choice, be it road rage, cycle rage, or the fury we feel at tourists walking three-abreast and at pedestrians in an oblivious earphoned haze, deaf to those around them.
Not only are there people talking too loudly on phones but people getting angry at those talking too loudly. Even your seat on a train is a war zone. One new fad is an angry Tumblr blog dedicated to photos of men who take up too much space on the Tube. It is as if we are all so stressed and hurried and crammed in that every inch is worth a punch-up.
Or perhaps it's all down to house prices. We know an Englishman's home is his castle but with property so expensive, no one can even bear to surrender the spot they are standing on. This spot; this blessed spot, this path, this road, this realm, this angry England.

Marisa Tomei & Logan Marshall Green Couple Up
The Wrestler star Marisa Tomei and her boyfriend, actor Logan Marshall Green walk around during the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Thursday (January 22).
Earlier in the day, it was announced that Marisa was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work in The Wrestler. The actress was all smiles as fans congratulated her on the street.

My Dream Coat
Added Dec 27, 2011
Bemidji, Minneso...
This is my dream coat. I walk 2-3 blocks from my parking spot to the office where I work and in Northern Minnesota this can be a very chilly walk. So, from Vogue 7979 and McCalls 4304 I made a pattern for this coat. It has three layers. A satin lining, polar fleece inner layer and the outer layer is wool. I made the kimono sleeves so that I can wear bulky sweaters and not have my arms get too constricted and hot. The stand up collar is just a long rectangle I sewed on that snaps closed to protect my face. My original intent was to knit button covers but after making one I decided I didn't like them so the other buttons are covered in leather.
My only regret is that I did not have enough wool to make the coat fall just below the knee.

The Baptism Of Jesus.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John his cousin in the River Jordan. As Jesus was coming out of the water he saw heaven being opened and a spirit/dove came down and said ' you are my son whom i love, with you i am well pleased.' At once the spirits sent him out into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights.

Gerald Anderson and Sarah Geronimo had a yacht date for the pilot episode of Sarah G Live, which aired its pilot episode last Sunday night.
For the opening number of her musical variety show, Sarah G Live, Sarah Geronimo emerged wearing a futuristic looking outfit with shimmering silver accents and knee-high boots.
After performing a series of energetic song numbers, Sarah went backstage and came out wearing a knee-length high dress cinched at the waist with a red belt. The Popstar Princess was walking towards the audience as she gave her opening spiel: "Magandang gabi ulit sa inyong lahat! I love you all!"
Suddenly, she tripped a little as she stepped on to the platform of the stage. But she caught herself on time as she continued: "This is it! Woohoo! Una po sa lahat, taos pusong akong nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat for being here at pag welcome sa first episode ng Sarah G Live."
She admitted, "Dream come true po talaga ito. Asahan nyo po na lalo kong gawing special ang Sunday night family bonding ninyo."
Sarah then introduced her co-host Luis Manzano whom she described as the "Pambansang Lucky Charm." Luis then came out and gave the singer-actress a bouquet of flowers. Sarah took this time to congratulate Luis who was seen last Saturday, February 25, as the new host of Kapamilya Deal or No Deal.
Derek Ramsay was then introduced as the special guest for the pilot episode. Sarah described him as the "hottest hunk in town."
SIGE GO ADVENTURE ON A YACHT. At this point, Sarah was asked about her so-called "Sige Go Adventures" with Gerald Anderson.
The singer-actress explained, "Yung Sige Go, itong ang chance ko na magawa at ma-experience yung mga gusto kong gawin dati pa…mga adventures na gustong gawin. Tulad ng una naming ginawa: ang mag-cruise sakay ang isang yacht! Feeling rich!"
A video of Sarah at the CCP complex was then shown wherein the TV host invited everyone to join her for her first yacht adventure. Meanwhile, Gerald Anderson also shot his own video on the yacht and he told viewers: "Nandito ako ngayon sa napaka romantic na Manila Bay dahil may gusto akong i-surprise, siyempre, siya si Baby Girl, si Sarah Geronimo."
When Sarah entered the Captain's cabin, she shrieked as soon as she saw her leading man in the movie Won't Last A Day Without You.
Gerald told Sarah, "Welcome to my [yacht]. Meron akong post-Valentine date para sa iyo."
Sarah immediately said, "Ayoko nga sabi nun, e!"
The two stars were then shown grilling some hotdogs onboard the yacht. While sitting down for a meal, Sarah asked Gerald directly: "Kamusta naman ang estado ng puso mo ngayon?"
Gerald answered, "Okay naman, steady lang siya ngayon. Masaya naman."
When he asked Sarah about her own love life, Sarah admitted, "Masaya kasi okay na."
The ABS-CBN actor asked Sarah to rate her happiness and she candidly said, "Nine [out of ten] kasi kumpleto naman ang pamilya ko. Healthy ang bawat isa saka blessed ako sa career ko. Nakakakilala ako ng mga bagong kaibigan at isa ka na doon."
A brief video clip even showed Sarah and Gerald holding hands as they talked and joked with each other.
Onboard, the two stars also took the time to do videoke. Sarah says about Gerald: "May mga similarities rin kami pagdating sa taste namin sa music."
When Sarah asked Gerald to choose a song that would describe how he felt at that time, Gerald held Sarah's hand as he sang the line: "You are so beautiful to me…"
For their duet, Sarah chose the song "If I Was the One." Gerald started singing the song while Sarah kept on looking for another song choice in a songbook. Sarah then suddenly blurted out, "Hanap lang ako, babe."
In response, Gerald stopped singing and asked Sarah: "Anong sabi mo?"
A visibly flustered Sarah tried to argue that the word 'babe' came from the lyrics of the song but Gerald insisted, "Walang 'babe' diyan!"
Sarah kept on pushing and joking around with Gerald as she tried to cover up her embarrassment.
SARAH'S IDEAL GUY. As they both sat down for dinner, Gerald took this opportunity to ask Sarah about the qualities that she is looking for in a guy.
The young actress pointed out, "Basta mahal ako. Basta respectful. Kahit hindi kasing gwapo mo. Delikado po ang mga ganitong mukha kasi chick boy."
Gerald retaliated by asking Sarah, "Porke't may itsura ang lalaki, chick boy na agad?"
Sarah emphasized, "Hindi ka may itsura. Gwapo ka. You're beautiful."
Gerald turned the table on Sarah and described her as "Ikaw si Ms. Very Beautiful Girl in the World. Alam mo naming totoo yun, e."
Sarah smiled but she kept on saying, "Shut up!"
Gerald handed Sarah a big bouquet of red roses before they mimicked the famous pose of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic. They even tried ballroom dancing as Gerald lowered Sarah into a dip.

No-take zones may protect populations of targeted marine species and restore the integrity of marine ecosystems, but it is unclear whether they benefit top predators that rely on mobile pelagic fishes. In South Africa, foraging effort of breeding African penguins decreased by 30 per cent within three months of closing a 20 km zone to the competing purse-seine fisheries around their largest colony. After the fishing ban, most of the penguins from this island had shifted their feeding effort inside the closed area. Birds breeding at another colony situated 50 km away, whose fishing grounds remained open to fishing, increased their foraging effort during the same period. This demonstrates the immediate benefit of a relatively small no-take zone for a marine top predator relying on pelagic prey. Selecting such small protected areas may be an important first conservation step, minimizing stakeholder conflicts and easing compliance, while ensuring benefit for the ecosystems within these habitats.
1. Introduction
Oceans have been over-exploited for decades, mainly through industrial-scale fishing (Pauly et al. 2002; Worm et al. 2009), and to date 80 per cent of the world's fish stocks are either fully or over-exploited (Food and Agriculture Organization 2009). Since 1992, the Convention on Biodiversity required the protection of 10 per cent of all marine areas, to reach the same target as for terrestrial environments. Although numbers of marine protected areas (MPAs) have increased, less than 0.7 per cent of the world's seas are as yet under protection (Wood et al. 2008), and most protected areas are coastal (Game et al. 2009). Sedentary fish populations and benthic organisms benefit from MPAs (Lester et al. 2009), as to some extent do more mobile fishes (Apostolaki et al. 2002). Furthermore, export effects of MPAs benefit biodiversity and fisheries in adjoining areas (White et al. 2008). Many top predators are threatened through direct exploitation, mortality on fishing gear and competition with fisheries. As these predators play pivotal roles in the stability and resilience of ecosystems, their loss can trigger cascading effects that disrupt entire ecosystems (Baum & Worm 2009). MPAs are often promoted as beneficial to top predators (Louzao et al. 2006; Frederiksen et al. 2008), but to date their effectiveness in this regard remains unclear. Moreover, such predators often rely on highly mobile prey, undergoing large-scale movements. In these situations, it is predicted that only very large MPAs may benefit them (Frederiksen et al. 2008; White et al. 2008).
African penguins (Spheniscus demersus), endemic to Southern Africa, have decreased by 90 per cent during the twentieth century, and between 2004 and 2008, the population halved to less than 26 000 pairs, the lowest value yet recorded (Crawford et al. 2008). Their survival and breeding success are closely tied to the availability of pelagic sardines (Sardinops sagax) and anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) within 20–30 km of their breeding sites (Pichegru et al. 2009). During their life, these fish can cover large distances (over hundreds of kilometres, Barange et al. 1999). Off South Africa's west coast, where many seabird colonies are located, these fish stocks have decreased markedly during the last decade, owing to changing environmental conditions and a lack of spatial management of the competing purse-seine fishery. Heavy fishing pressure persists in areas with low fish abundance because of the distribution of land-based processing plants (Pichegru et al. 2009).
In January 2009, a 20 km radius area was closed to purse-seine fishing around the world's largest African penguin colony at St Croix Island, Algoa Bay (the 'treatment', figure 1). The waters around Bird Island, another penguin colony 50 km away within the same bay, remained open to fishing (the 'control'). Historically, most pelagic fish catches by the industry in Algoa Bay occurred around St Croix Island (Pichegru et al. 2009). By studying the foraging behaviour of adult penguins raising chicks at both sites before and after the closure to fishing, we tested whether a relatively small no-take zone could benefit breeding penguins relying on pelagic prey.
2. Material and methods
The foraging behaviour of adult penguins raising chicks of one to three weeks old was studied at St Croix Island (33°48′ S, 25°46′ E, the 'treatment colony') and at Bird Island (33°50′ S, 26°17′ E, the 'control colony'), before and after closure to fishing, in May–June 2008 and April–May 2009. The positions of purse-seine vessels were monitored constantly via satellite telemetry, ensuring compliance within the experimental closure. African penguins share the care of their brood of one or two chicks between March and August, with typically one adult attending the nest when the partner is at sea. Birds were equipped with GPS-TD loggers (a global positioning system recorder combined with a time-depth recorder; GPS-TD 96 × 39 × 26.5 mm; earth&OCEAN Technologies, Germany), which record latitude and longitude at 1 min intervals to an accuracy of less than 10 m, and depth at 1 s intervals to the nearest 0.1 m. The devices weighed less than 2.5 per cent of adult body mass and were housed in streamlined fibre-composite containers. They were attached to the penguins' lower back feathers with waterproof tape, causing no damage to the plumage. Handling lasted less than 6 min from capture to release, and these methods were approved by University of Cape Town's animal ethics committee. After deployment, nest sites of instrumented birds were monitored until the adult carrying the GPS returned, allowing it to be recaptured and the logger removed. Previous studies showed no significant difference in the foraging behaviour of instrumented versus control African penguins (Petersen et al. 2006). This was confirmed in 2008 on St Croix Island, where adults at control nests with chicks of similar age were marked without being handled, using bio-compatible dye, and had their foraging trip durations recorded. Handling and instrumentation did not affect the duration of foraging trips (control birds: 22.7 ± 3.1 h, n = 9, H = 0.76, p = 0.383).
On retrieval of the devices, trip duration, path length, maximum distance from the colony and diving effort were calculated in order to compare foraging effort at each island between years (before and after closure) and between islands (treatment versus control) using general linear models (GLMs). Each parameter (trip duration, path length, maximum distance from the colony and diving behaviour) was tested as an explanatory variable, while year or colony were taken as dependent factors. Data were only recorded for a single foraging trip per bird to avoid pseudo-replication. There was no difference in brood size between nests across years or colonies (GLM with brood size as the explanatory variable, year and colony as dependent factors, colony: F1,90 = 0.61, p = 0.54; year: F1,90 = 0.08, p = 0.78), so the data from nests of different brood size were pooled.
A GPS position was associated with each feeding dive (>3 m and diurnal, as defined by Wilson & Wilson 1990). Technical failures of the devices (no GPS positions or no dives recorded) decreased the sample of complete foraging trips where a GPS position could be attributed to each feeding dive. However, all other data were used for the calculation of foraging and diving effort. Adaptive kernel analyses were conducted using Arcview GIS 3.1 with the smoothing factor chosen according to the least-squares-cross-validation method (Worton 1989) to estimate contour levels covering 50–75–90% of the foraging locations.
3. Results
During the 2008 and 2009 breeding seasons (March–June), 91 complete foraging tracks were collected from penguins breeding on the two islands. None of the diving parameters for African penguins differed between years or colonies (table 1), but there were marked changes in horizontal foraging effort. In 2008, the average foraging path length travelled for birds from the treatment island was 70 ± 28 km (maximum 150 km), at 18–45 km away from the colony, for 22.5 ± 7 h (table 1). After the fishery closure in 2009, penguins reduced their effort by 25–30%, travelling 50 ± 17 km (maximum 80 km) to forage for 17.1 h on average within 5–30 km of the island (table 1). By contrast, from 2008 to 2009, penguins from the control island increased their time spent foraging (from 15.6 to 17.8 h on average), potentially as a result of reduced marine productivity and/or increased fishing pressure around the island in 2009. This inference is supported by a significant decrease in adult body mass in 2009 for the control colony (table 1). Treatment birds shifted their core feeding zones, from located mostly (75% of their feeding dives) outside the closure area in 2008, to concentrated within this area in 2009 (>70% of their feeding dives) (figure 1). The main feeding locations of birds from the control island were similar between years (figure 1).
Breeding African penguins expend 207 kJ h−1 while foraging (Nagy et al. 1984) and 52 kJ h−1 sitting on the nest or resting on land. Therefore, a reduction of 5.4 h at sea represents a potential approximate energy saving of (207 − 52) × 5.4 = 837 kJ per foraging trip, i.e. 43 per cent of their daily energy expenditure (1945 kJ, Nagy et al. 1984).
4. Discussion
Our findings strongly suggest that even relatively small no-take zones can benefit penguins. Within three months of closure, breeding African penguins decreased their foraging effort by 25–30% and their daily energy expenditure by approximately 43 per cent, shifting their core foraging areas from outside to within the area closed to fishing (figure 1 and table 1). At the same time, foraging effort at an adjacent colony increased, possibly linked to displacement of effort from the MPA area. Even if other factors may have influenced these changes in the penguin's behaviour (e.g. natural changes in productivity or currents), our data suggest that purse-seine fishing had a significant negative effect on penguin foraging behaviour. Therefore, stopping the local harvest of mobile small pelagic fishes, even over a small zone, may benefit African penguins, which responded rapidly to such a change in their environment. Penguin species generally show flexible foraging behaviour across sites and seasons (e.g. Deagles et al. 2008). African penguins have evolved to cope with the highly dynamic Benguela upwelling ecosystem and associated variability in the spatial-temporal occurrence of pelagic prey at the end of the last glaciation. Although none of the diving parameters for African penguins differed between years or colonies in our study (table 1), they demonstrated flexibility in time spent at sea and distance travelled over their foraging trip (table 1 and figure 1). Such behavioural plasticity allowed them to respond rapidly and positively to the consequences of released fishing pressure on pelagic fish stocks, confirming their potential value as marine sentinels (Boersma 2008).
Conservation benefits from MPAs can be controversial because MPAs vary greatly in their levels of protection and compliance, leading to occasional 'paper parks' (e.g. Guidetti et al. 2008). This could be especially true in the offshore environment where reserves are challenging to design, because of the mobility of the pelagic species (Game et al. 2009), and it is often thought that these reserves should be large to ensure efficiency, consequently being expensive to monitor and to maintain (Sumaila et al. 2007). Here, we show that appropriately designed MPAs can benefit threatened top predators, even those that rely on mobile prey over a small area. That this value can be demonstrated is a major conservation step because designing MPAs to protect the habitat of predators with relatively small foraging ranges allows limiting the areas closed to fisheries, minimizing stakeholder conflicts and easing compliance. In this prospect, penguins could be an adequate model species to protect, thanks to their general charisma and restricted foraging range during the breeding season (Pichegru et al. 2009). Protecting their habitat would nevertheless act as an umbrella and protect entire ecosystems within these foraging ranges (Roberge & Angelstram 2004), while possibly benefiting the human communities close to the colony (e.g. Skewgar et al. 2009). Despite their preliminary nature, our results strongly encourage this strategy, and support the creation of further MPAs for oceanic top predators.
All procedures were approved by the University of Cape Town's animal ethics committee.

That this report has been very light on freshwater fishing tales lately is not an indication that action in our lakes is off.
That this report has been very light on freshwater fishing tales lately is not an indication that action in our lakes is off. Once in a while, good stories simply don't make it my way — even when the fishing's good.
I'm pretty sure that has been the case now for a couple of weeks.
Although nobody has come in with an attention-grabbing report, we do know that the speckled perch fishing remains good on Lochloosa and that yearling-size bass are feeding heavily on shad minnows at Rodman Reservoir. The just-widened boat trail through thick vegetation from Heagy-Burry Park out to the open portion of Orange Lake has started to attract a bit of boat traffic, but some of the folks who have tried that new run don't seem to feel it is wholly safe. Northerly winds, they say, can plug the lake end of the trail "for a hundred yards or more" with thick rafts of weedy flotsam.
And a similar caution comes from a Cross Creek resident who tells us it's not a good idea, either, to try navigating the mile-long waterway connecting Orange and Lochloosa. One adventurous angler with a child aboard apparently gave the creek a shot last week, became hopelessly stuck, and had to be rescued.
Orange Lake and Cross Creek spent many months dry or nearly so. During that time, plant life took over profusely. While there is already sufficient water depth, it will probably take a while longer (and maybe a couple of hard freezes) for vegetation to clear out, offering easier access.
Excellent gulf fishing remains the number one attraction for area anglers.
Ed Camp and Bryan Mathias found feeding redfish in Waccasassa Bay last Saturday. During a falling tide, the Gainesville men cast Hildebrandt Drum Rollers to fill a double limit of nice, slot-size reds. Designed by Gainesville's own Bernie Schultz, the Drum Roller spinnerbait seems destined to become a staple among redfishers.
Drew and Alex Maddox have fished from Cedar Key piers for weeks, interested mainly in hooking and battling large fish. Casting live shrimp, the Gainesville father and son had tied into big rays, sharks, and even a tarpon, but the one species they really wanted to tangle with had eluded them. Until Sunday. Drew broke the ice when he finally hooked a huge black drum. Along with a fellow pier angler armed with a long-handled gaff, they hoisted the whopper onto the pier. Later, Alex hooked another big fish and succeeded in bringing in his drum, as well. Alex's fish later weighed in at 46.5 pounds, and it was smaller than his dad's giant.
The offshore grouper bite remains strong as open season for gags winds down. A Gainesville party of six anglers, co-workers at Complete Network Solutions, went out from Cedar Key Saturday with Capt. G.T. aboard his boat, Grouper Therapy. Jody Cooper, Chris Edwards, Jason Evans, Jonathan Hampton, Zack Markham and Austin Sanchez boated 15 legal grouper — a nearly-even mix of reds and gags. To boot, they took a 10-pound king and a five-pound Spanish while fishing frozen herring in a few of Capt. G.T's hotspots in water no more than 55 feet deep.
Steinhatchee fish catching has gone from slow to outstanding in a few weeks. Visiting from Tampa, Paul Phaneuf and David Reitan fished last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from a Sea Hag Marina rental boat. They headed out to Steinhatchee Reef each day, where they enjoyed impressive success. Fishing with pinfish at the reef, they caught and released a couple of cobia up to 4-feet long, a pair of very large over-slot redfish, gag grouper up to 16-pounds and a number of mackerel to four pounds. On their way back to the river, Phaneuf and Reitan stopped daily to cast white/chartreuse Gulp! shrimp on the grass flats. There, they added several fine speckled trout to their long catch list.
Russ Roy and Ross McElroy, stalwarts of the Gainesville Offshore Fishing Club, tried the Steinhatchee grass flats south of the river last Thursday. They worked Swimmin' Image lures and Gulp! shrimp off Rocky Creek to fool quite an array of fish including speckled trout, flounder, drum, mackerel, ladyfish and bluefish. The trout were most abundant, as the anglers released limits twice over.
Inland fishing on the east coast is picking up again following the arrival of a migration of mullet and the 'too-full-to-eat' attitude the predators seemed to take with so much forage available. Tuesday, Jonathan Mason anchored just up current from the Matanzas Inlet Bridge while a strong tide ran out. The live shrimp the Gainesville angler fished near the pilings drew several bites from big redfish. The first six were more than 27-inches long — illegal to harvest. Finally, Mason's seventh and eighth reds were, barely, small enough to keep.

In an effort to train women leaders that transform our society, the Liceo de Monterrey promotes projects that involve our students in social work in order to help out their community. This is the "No Limits" project that takes place every year through various activities.
As a result of this project, every year in November our Junior High students release a campaign promoting the recollection of toys, either in new or used but good condition, and in winter they recollect items such as: jackets, coats and blankets. The objective of the fund is to join the Association of University radios called "ARUMEX " in their "Niñoton" event.
Just the same, the committee " Giving Smiles " made up of students from 8th and 9th grade, participate in the recollection of Bibles, used clothing and footwear in good condition, and canned foods to donate to a group of missionary families, which are later delivered during Easter to different rural communities.

Southern Politics
Southern politics are conservative and Republican overall, but Southern Democrats still exist. Most Southern states are red states. At one time, there were many "yellow-dog Democrats" in the South (meaning a Democrat who would vote for an old yellow dog before they would vote Republican). After the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s, party lines shifted. Many Democrats switched to the Republican party. The phenomenon is usually cited as proof of racism. Labelling all Southerners as "racist" may only serve to further alienate both Republicans and Democrats in Southern states. Most Southern voters are conservative. Conservatism has become associated with the Republican ticket, and liberals, with the Democratic ticket. The Democratic party still has a strong hold in Southern states, though. Southern metropolitan communities favor Democrats. Southern black voters also vote the Democratic ticket. That's partly because the Democrats used to be considered the ticket of blue-collar workers. The Republicans were once seen by many Southern voters as being carpetbaggers and later, just "the party of the rich." Conservative Republicans gained more ground in the South under Reagan, who converted more yellow-dog Democrats into Republicans. Some conservative communities in the South may still vote heavily Democratic because they have not yet come to identify the Republican party as the conservative party. Others do so because of a more moderate or liberal ideology. The U.S. South is conservative, but more culturally diverse than people know. (Scroll down to blogs.)
This is a mere sampling of Southern blogs. Some are political in nature, and some just reflect Southern culture.

The United States continues to work closely with Portugal to find ways to expand and deepen two-way trade and investment to better reflect historically strong political, geostrategic and security ties between the two countries. Portugal's continued drive to modernize and diversify its economy will offer possibilities for growth in U.S. trade and investment over the medium and long term. Demand for high-quality, price-competitive U.S. products in Portugal is strong, and privatization of several large government-owned companies will provide additional opportunities for investment.
With the intent to encourage investment and bilateral trade between the United States and Portugal, with particular focus in the Azores, U.S. Ambassador to Portugal Allan J. Katz led a Business Development Road Show. The MIT Portugal Program participated as a partner in this six-day event (April 28-May 3, 2013) bringing 24 Portuguese companies and institutions to Boston, Mass., and Kansas City, Miss.
While in Boston on May 1, the ambassador and the companies visited the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC), the largest flexible office facility for growing technology and life sciences companies in the Greater Boston area. More than 450 companies are currently located at the CIC.
This was followed by a meeting with the Mass Technology Leadership Council and the Mass High Technology Council. The Mass Technology Leadership Council is the region's leading technology association and the premier network for tech executives, entrepreneurs, investors and policy leaders. The Mass High Technology Council is an advocate for competitive public policies and practices to sustain Massachusetts as a globally preeminent economy in which to live and work, and to create, operate and expand high tech businesses.
Visitors toured the MIT Media Lab, an interdisciplinary research laboratory. MIT Media Lab staff and students have backgrounds ranging from electrical engineering and computer science to sociology and music and others. Recently, the Media Lab has focused particularly on design and technologies that address social causes.
Later, MIT Portugal Program Director Professor Dava Newman welcomed the ambassador and the companies. The convoy had lunch with MIT Portugal Program staff and students, including those involved in the eTeams III. The eTeams III is a 2-week intense "contact-sport" curriculum designed for non-U.S. start-up companies to be exposed to, make lasting links within and gain practical entrepreneurial skills useful for the start-up culture of the MIT/Kendall Square ecosystem. This program exemplifies how the MIT Portugal Program harnesses the Institute's ever-present entrepreneurial and innovative spirit.

Your Full Service Differential Repair Shop since 1982!(800)787-8012
Ring & Pinion Service provides free differential repair estimates. A quick conversation with the customer will usually determine the type of differential service or repair that is needed. If we have any doubt, we will test drive your vehicle before we prepare an estimate. Our differential experts will have a very good idea what needs to be done on your vehicle before we start. We don't charge for this diagnosis and estimate.
Our free differential repair estimates are usually very accurate. In most cases we are able to correctly identify the scope of work on our original estimate and complete the repair within the estimated repair cost. Sometimes we even find we can do the job for less!
In some cases, however, initial disassembly will reveal broken parts or additional issues that weren't apparent during the original estimate. In this case we provide a revised estimate based on the additional repairs needed, and the customer does have the right to decline the work at that time. If the customer does decline, we charge a nominal fee to put everything back together.
Differentials, ring and pinion gear sets, axle shafts and bearings typically make noise if they have failed or are beginning to fail. Depending on the symptoms you are experiencing, driving the vehicle may cause further damage to additional differential or axle components. Call our experts to determine whether you need to come in immediately. In some cases, we may recommend that you have the vehicle towed to our facility rather than driving it.
Here are some basic guidelines for diagnosing problems:
We can help make sure you get the repairs you need, saving you the cost of additional repairs you don't need. Contact our Service Professionals for an appointment today at (916)635-9665 or use our online appointment application.
At Ring & Pinion Service, we always offer free diagnosis and Free Repair Estimates. Most commonly, one of our differential experts will road test your vehicle (if possible) and give you an accurate diagnosis based on the symptoms and sounds that are present. We can then make recommendations for repair or upgrade of your differential, and provide you with an accurate repair estimate.
Contact the Ring & Pinion Service staff at (800) 787-8012 for more information or make an appointment!
While we do accept walk-ins, please make an appointment whenever possible for faster service.

I Sometimes Watch Sports
Today, I'm going to start a weekly (subject to change at a drinking binge's discreation) Red Sox column, discussing the teams progress throughout this arduous season. I won't watch every game and I won't ball wash anyone, except maybe myself, but I will let you know how much certain people suck and exactly why they suck. We aren't here to proclaim royalty of our stars when they are doing well. We are here to criticize the everlasting shit out of them when they underperform because it makes us feel better. Who sits back and cheers for every favorably called strike? No one… unless they are really drunk. However, losing ones mind over a called ball over the outside corner is nothing short of the essence of being a fan. I am an irrational sports fans, Masshole none the less. My column will reflect that. So here it goes.
John Lackey needs to pull his head, and possibly the heads of others, out of his ass. I didn't like his signing from the minute it was announced. I always suspected that he might be retarded but now he's apparently an emotionally fragile retard. Calm down, man… Take a Valium… Eat a cheeseburger… Hell, punch a stripper in the face if you want. Just turn your shit around and start pitching like a man or retire and go play some fucking softball… Jackass! I will put Bobby Jenks into the same category. Although he rid himself of that hideous facial hair once he started sucking the bag, he still sported it for far to long and therefore deserves to be thoroughly criticized for his poor performance. When your goatee looks like string cheese, you should probably do a better job of not having a goatee. And he certainly hasn't done that.

How To Make Pivot Weapons
Learning how to make Pivot weapons can make your stickfigure animations much more interesting. Once you learn the basics of how to make weapons, you can practice and continue to make more and more elaborate weapons. To start, making a simple gun on the Pivot Stickfigure Animation program is very simple and will get you well on your way to making all sorts of weapons.
- Down Pivot Stickfigure Animator. This program is available through several different websites, including Softpedia and Snap Files. It's completely free to download and takes only minutes. Once you find the Pivot program, click the "Download" option and wait for the program to install.
- Open Pivot Stickfigure Animator and select "File." You will find the "File" option in the top left side of the Pivot program.
- Create a new Pivot figure. To accomplish this, you will need to click on the "Create Figure Type" option, which is located in the dropdown menu that appears when you click "File."
- Get to know the animator. There are several things you need to know before you can go about making weapons. First, you'll see a red dot on the figure type. Clicking and dragging this dot will allow you to rotate the line it's connected to. Next, the "Add Line" feature is what lets you actually make the weapons. By adding multiple lines to the figure type, you can make stickfigure weapons for your Pivot stickfigure. The "Add Line" option is located on the menu on the left side of the program.
- Create the weapon. Rotate the vertical line on your screen to make it horizontal for the barrel of a gun. Then, click the "Add Line" option and add a small line to the end of the barrel for the handle. Place another very small line where the two connect, which represents the trigger, and you have a simple handgun. Use these principles to make all sorts of Pivot weapons.
- Don't forget to save your weapons after you make them by selecting the "Save" option from the "File" menu.

That's fantastic! Very trippy room.ReplyDeleteReplies
Trippy indeed!Delete
I love your decor! It's awesome!ReplyDelete
I love this! I used to decorate my room with band posters and song lyrics that I sharpie'd on the wall, but now it's been a lot more minimalist; elephant poster, buddha poster and my half-marathon medal holder.ReplyDeleteReplies
What a switch! I used to write on my walls and have posters or ripped magazine pics/notes or drawings from friends. Splattered paint on one wall. My mum redid my old room at home for her puppies though, haha.Delete
Those are all really cool touches, especially the puking bear and Hanukkah candle lighting a cigarette (even if they can't be seen). Who wouldn't love that?ReplyDelete
My gay-brother in law did all of the interior decorating in this house, and it's way better than anything I could ever manage by myself. So I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I love the artwork in your space!ReplyDelete
so awesomeeeeee!!! :DReplyDelete

We have gone over the idea of leaving your religious labels behind, and many of you have balked at that idea. I have heard many concerns that my "ideas" can be harmful to our Godly relationship or that I am not speaking Godly things. Because of this, I have been praying about what I need to do to confirm my so called "ideas" with you. God told me to read the full chapter of Ephesians 4. Starting in verse 2 through verse 6, it says "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all in all." This is exactly what we're shooting for here. To BRING BACK our unity of the Spirit. Let's dissect each verse to get a better understanding of what we're looking at.
First we look at where it talks about our actions towards each other. "Be completely humble and gentle…". These are not easy aspects to truly grab hold of. One can easily say that they are humble and/or gentle, but what do those words really mean? According to the Webster's dictionary, the word "humble" means not proud or haughty; not arrogant or assertive. It also means reflecting, expressing, or offered in a spirit of submission; a ranking low in a hierarchy. So to be COMPLETELY humble, we have to set everyone else above us and not see ourselves as better than anyone else. Gentle means "free from harshness and violence." I don't necessarily think it's referring to only physical harshness or violence, but verbally and mentally. We as believers need to realize that we are ALL on the same level. One very big reason that I have begun searching for more than a home church is because the attitude of the church has become very opposing towards each other. It's supposed to be a group of people getting together to fellowship, encourage each other, and build up others in God, but instead you have a group of judgemental gossipers who put on a pretty face for the crowd. Now, I'm not saying I'm perfect. I definitely have my downfalls in the gossip and judgement areas, but at least I'm not pretending like I don't. I'm still working on my humility and gentleness, but I'm just me. I'm not one person at church and another outside the doors. But, let's get back on track…
"Be patient, bearing with one another in love." Patience is probably one of the hardest things to practice simple because it is so easy to get caught up in ourselves. But when we start putting others before us, these other aspects come a little easier because your mind is getting geared towards doing what's best to help the other person. The rest of the verses have what I want to mostly be focused on today. "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through peace". This is where I feel that the body of Christ has begun to fail. There is unity within the churches, the groups of believers coming together, but the unity between those different churches has quietly begun to drift. As I talked about in an earlier post, the different denominations and religions are not in unity as one. There is too much differentiation between congregations due to a division of mindset. Each church has is own interpretation of what God is saying, and they have begun to add their own spin to things. Therefore, we have churches quietly fighting against each other, attempting to convert and carry over people from one denomination to another, and celebrating when someone "converts". But if we look at what the bible is saying, to make EVERY effort to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in PEACE, we can see that this is the body's downfall. We should be joining together simply as believers, putting all personal feelings and beliefs aside, making others more important that ourselves, and focusing on the one thing we all have in common which is God. We know this should be true because there is only ONE God, ONE Lord, and ONE faith. Not a separate one for each belief system.
Thus, why is it so hard for us to get along? Well, pride. It's as simple as that. We have gotten so brainwashed into believing that our church is better than yours because… or that our religion is better than yours. It is a ridiculous and sad issue that can be resolved if we can all learn to ACTUALLY get along. I emphasize "actually" because every person of every religion will say that they are fine with other religions and they're "just glad they're in church", but in reality, they praise God when a catholic becomes a christian, or a Mormon becomes a catholic. So, what I'm encouraging you is not to go try an make a bunch of friends from different religions so that you can be more religiously socialized, but to begin changing your mindset on what it is you need to do in order to serve God best. Begin finding out who you are in God instead of what your roll in the church is. For some, the best way that you can show God's love and help others is to be in a church serving and mentally feeding others. But don't let your "label" define your relationship with God. Let God show you what you need to be doing and not doing, and ask him how you can build a stronger relationship with other believers in AND outside of your church.

In a matter of seven months, I emotionally experienced four boys at my school die from suicide and another killed in a car accident. These series of unfortunate events, though very tragic, have given me a new outlook on life. Since these experiences I have come to believe that life is a precious gift and even though our time on this Earth can be short, I want to live it to the fullest.
The first hardship came in April 2008. No one knew what to think. All the students and administration at school were in shock and did not know how to deal with it. He was the popular guy who was into athletics. He had numerous friends. He was a senior and many of us, especially younger students, looked up to him.
The second came four short months later. He was a year younger than I was. I remember riding the bus with him. He always seemed like a happy kid, smiling and making jokes.
When it happened again for a third time in September, no one really knew what to think. Again, he was a fun loving kid who seemed to always be having a good time. We were all taken back about what had happened and kept asking ourselves, "why?" I slowly started to see my sadness turn into anger, which I knew was a selfish thought but I did not understand why this kept happening.
Later on in the month, I received news that there was a fatal car accident in which two people were killed, one from my school. When he died, it really tore me up inside. He and I had hung out together.
I will probably never forget the phone call I received in November, informing me that a fourth student had committed suicide. I just did not want to believe. I went to elementary school with him. All I could think about was our innocence from those days. He had a lot to live for, they all did. I just wish they could have known that before it was too late.
Even though I was not close with all five of the boys, it definitely put things in perspective for me. I do not see life the same way as I did before. I realize that people are not going to be around forever. I once walked through the halls among all of these boys going to class, and then seven months later they were all gone.
Nowadays, I try not to take things for granted. I do whatever I can to make moments last, whether it is something as simple as taking a hundred pictures or just sitting back and taking in the moment of my friends laughing hysterically. Little things like this make my life feel complete.
It is sad that these five tragedies had to happen for me to realize what I want out of life. I now know, though, what I want to accomplish in life, what I want to become, and how I want to go about it. Life is very precious to me and I hope I can fulfill my belief to the best of my ability. Not only for myself, but for those five boys who did not get to fully live theirs.

ToThePoint Software Product Update, The Fontz X Version: 3.5.4.
The Fontz is a versatile font utility that allows you to browse installed and uninstalled fonts, see what they look like at different type sizes, styles and colors, and even group them in like categories using a "wysiwyg" group editor.
